The story is over, about the legend of the Eight Strange People, the old Tao only talked about these two people, and the rest of the few monks didn't ask him, he didn't say it, and he didn't know if he could say it? Or this old guy doesn't even know.

The old Taoist was strict, the Taoist priest couldn't ask why, and then he never heard about the deeds of the Eight Strange People, and slowly this matter faded away, until he met me, and the long-term memory was evoked, and he recalled this incident.

I hurriedly asked the priest, "Did your master tell me where the black line on the young man's arm came from?" ”

The Taoist priest glanced at me and said angrily: "The Taoist master has said that the young man is the most mysterious of the Eight Strange people, since he is the most mysterious, how can my master know this." ”

As soon as I heard it, I immediately felt that I had fallen for him, and I couldn't help but be angry and scolded: "Then you have a fart to tell me this story?" cheated Lao Tzu out of two gold bars in vain, you are doing a good job! ”

"Don't worry!" He patted me and asked me to listen to him, I glared at him, and said in my heart that I want to see how this dog can shake me, so let him fart quickly.

"Look, that god operator is one of the Eight Strange People, right? Since he is a Baqi person, he must also know the young man who is also a Baqi person, maybe he still knows the other party's secret, so as long as we find him or his heir, the secret you want to know will be at your fingertips? ”

Hearing him say this, I suddenly understood, and said yes, the Taoist priest has been to the Taoist temple where the god operator cultivates, so he must know the location of the Taoist temple, although so many years have passed, the god operator may have been hanged, but his disciples and grandchildren must still be alive, if you want to inquire about the curse, just go to the Taoist temple!

Thinking of this, I immediately discussed with the Taoist priest and asked him to take me to the Taoist temple after he went out. The Taoist priest accepted my gold bars and readily agreed, and the matter was settled.

After I finished discussing with the Taoist priest, Xiao Na, who had never said a word, showed an expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and when I saw her like this, I said to her: "That, do you have anything to say, it's okay, we are all our own people, don't be restrained!" ”

The light of the campfire reflected her face, a little red, I thought I was already an introvert, but I didn't expect there to be someone more introverted than me.

She hesitated for a moment, and said timidly: "When I was collecting firewood just now, it seemed that I saw a village!" ”

We were all stunned when she said this, but then I thought of the abandoned houses in the depths of the elm ditch, and asked her, "Where did you see that?" ”

She pointed in a direction outside the cave, "That's over there." ”

I wanted the Taoist priest to go out to see, he was a little impatient, and scolded: "I said you are not annoying, what time is it, the Taoist has not slept all night, and his mother's contribution is also my most, you let the Taoist rest and rest, the village will not grow wings and fly there, hurry up and sleep, and look at it at dawn after raising your spirit." ”

As she spoke, he ignored me, closed his eyes, leaned against a stone by the fire, and fell asleep. Thinking that the Taoist priest's words also make sense, I won't be entangled, let Xiao Na and Lin Qiao'er rest quickly, and we will see tomorrow.

I've just slept, and I'm in good shape, and I'm going to keep a vigil.

Soon they all fell asleep, and the Taoist priest also heard a loud snoring sound, and he contributed the most to the dangers encountered along the way, and it seemed that he was really too tired. I kept adding firewood to the fire to keep the bonfire alive, at first all I thought about curses, and my spirit was not bad, but at about six o'clock, extreme fatigue began to torment my nerves, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I wanted to squint for a while, but I didn't expect this squint to fall asleep completely.

When Lin Qiaoer woke me up, it was already dawn, I looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock, and I couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and said in my heart, why did it get to this point?

The Taoist priest, Xiao Na and Yang Mengqing were not in the cave, so I asked Lin Qiao'er what was going on? She told me that she also woke up at nine o'clock, and when she woke up, she saw me fall asleep by the fire, and that the fire had burned down to the point of sparkling embers, and she started the fire again, and then the rest of the people woke up one after another, and when they saw that I was sleeping deeply, they did not wake me up. Yang Mengqing also woke up, and was in a good state, so the three of them went to check on the village over there first.

Hearing her say this, I felt at ease, washed my face with the cold river water, sobered up, and then asked them how long they had been there? Lin Qiao'er said that it had been almost an hour and a half, and the heart I had just put down was lifted again. The heart said that he hadn't come back for so long, so something should have happened, right?

As soon as the thought came to mind, a hurried shout suddenly came from outside the cave: "Hey, hey, hey, get up, little reporter, hurry up and come out to help!" ”

As soon as I heard that this was the voice of the Taoist priest, I hurriedly walked out, and the moment I saw him, I was startled, only to see this guy gasping and resting under a cedar tree crawling with vines, his face and hands were full of blood, and his clothes were also tattered, and they were also stained with blood. I hurriedly walked over to him and asked him what was going on? Where's the injury?

He waved his hand and said it was okay, the blood was not his. As he spoke, he pointed to a mane-covered thing in the dense pile of vines under the cedar tree, and when I looked at it, I saw that it looked like a wild boar, and it was not small, and I asked him what was the matter. What about the two girls?

The Taoist priest was really tired and miserable, and after taking a long breath, he explained the matter clearly. It turned out that the Taoist priest and the two girls went to see the abandoned village, and before they entered the village, they found that there was a large pond connected to the river, like a fish pond, but it was overgrown with half-human-high aquatic plants, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

The three of them had been hungry for two days, and when they saw that there was water and grass in the fish pond, they wondered if they could catch two fish to fill their stomachs. So a few people wandered around the pond for a while, and they really found grass carp in it, and because they had not been caught for a long time, these wild fish were not small. The three of them were overjoyed, and hurriedly made harpoons out of branches to prepare for fishing, but at this moment, a wild boar came out of the bushes by the pond and went to the river.

The Taoist priest was immediately overjoyed, threw down the harpoon and went to chase the wild boar, the wild boar was not good at stubble, and saw that the Taoist priest did not run away, but pounced on him.

In normal times, a wild boar is completely fine, but in the past two days, the Taoist priest has consumed sperm and blood one after another, and he has been hungry for two days, and his physical strength is not good, and he has been entangled with the wild boar for two rounds, but he was chased by the wild boar. Yang Mengqing wanted to come forward to help, but the Taoist priest shouted that he didn't need to, and then led the wild boar into the forest, and after a lot of effort, he finally killed the wild boar with his flexible skills.

Since there were no slaughtering knives, the Taoist priests used sharp rocks, and the blood was stained when the wild boar was disemboweled. When he came back with the wild boar, the two girls had already caught two or three big fish, and the Taoist priest saw that they were going to catch two more, so he came back with the wild boar first.

The wild boar is more than 100 kilograms, Lin Qiaoer and I helped carry the wild boar in, and the Taoist priest couldn't wait to tear off a piece of meat to roast, I saw that he didn't even wash it, and the meat was still stained with a lot of pig hair and blood, so I couldn't help but walk away in disgust, ready to see how Yang Mengqing and them were.

As soon as I walked out of the hole, I saw two little girls carrying four big grass carp as long as an arm had returned, and my heart was right, I was hungry to death before, and in the blink of an eye there were endless big fish and meat, which was really unpredictable.

Naturally, we are not as rough as the Taoist priests, and the river is on the side, so it is easy to clean. While eating his own roasted hairy pork, the Taoist priest scolded us for formalism, saying that we were dying of hunger, why should we be so exquisite. We didn't bother to pay attention to him, and after the cleaned meat was cooked, we were indeed too hungry to die, and we didn't care about humility, so we each picked up a large piece and ate it wildly.

To be honest, roast pork without salt, even if it is wild boar, tastes really bad, but we are hungry and anxious, and when we eat it, we feel extraordinarily fragrant. By the time we had eaten so much that we couldn't even stand up, there were at least four-fifths of the pig left, and not a single fish had moved.

After resting for a while, we used the broken stones in the cave to cut off all the remaining good parts of the wild boar's body, cut it into thin pieces, and after processing the fish, we went to the outside of the cave to get many branches and leaves of cedar trees, and set up a fire to smoke the processed pork and fish into jerky. In this way, we have enough dry food and don't have to go hungry as before.

By the time all the processing had been done, the sun was setting in the west, and it was already evening.

We discussed it and decided that it would be too dangerous to explore the village at night, so we decided to stay in the cave for another night and wait for the next day.

Just as we had made up our minds to roast some more leftover wild boar meat for dinner, the Taoist priest suddenly stood up with a strange expression. I hurriedly asked him what was wrong, but he told me not to speak, and then put my ear to the stone wall, and suddenly, his face changed dramatically, and he yelled to run, and then grabbed a backpack and ran out of the cave first.

We were all stunned and at a loss, but at this moment, I suddenly noticed that the ground began to tremble, and I was startled, and hurriedly beckoned a few girls to run. A few people had just run out not far when a large amount of rubble suddenly fell from the cave behind them, and the entire mountain range shook with it.

I was so frightened by this scene that I was afraid that if it was a minute too late, we would all be stoned to death.

Although the cave did not collapse, we did not dare to enter it again. The Taoist priest's face was solemn, and he said that the vibration just now looked like someone had lit explosives in the mountains, and eighty percent had an accident again.

I sighed and said that we couldn't stay here, and that we had to hurry to the village and find a place to spend the night before it was dark.

With no objection, we packed up and began to rush in the direction of the village.
