Chapter 8: The Taoist Priest

Looking at the vine roots that pounced like poisonous snakes again, I was completely stunned, but I didn't dare to stop my feet, but with a person behind me, I couldn't run at all! As I circled around the trunks of the locust trees, I dodged several vine root attacks in a row, but I was finally entangled in an extremely flexible vine root.

Unlike the surprise just now, this time I was prepared, as soon as the vine root wrapped around my ankle, I jerked, and the person immediately fell to the ground, but the vine root also pounced, and then I immediately grabbed it with my hand, trying to catch this evil thing. But what I never expected was that as soon as my hand grabbed it, the thing seemed to be burned by a soldering iron of thousands of degrees, and a puff of green smoke came out, and then fluttered and retracted back into the tree.

I looked at my hands in disbelief, but then I noticed that my hands were stained with purple juice from a lot of twine. My heart moved, and my heart said, Are these demon vines afraid of this thing?

At this moment, the vine roots that did not hang the corpse under the giant vine twitched in unison, and they all rolled towards me. So I tentatively picked up a large piece of rope, folded it in half, and slammed it down on the nearest vine root.

I only heard a popping sound, and as a cloud of green smoke rose, the vine root that had been smoked twitched and retracted back on the main trunk of the vine, completely motionless.

Seeing this, I was overjoyed in my heart, knowing the weakness of this monster, how could I be afraid of it, shouting Come on dog day, the old man is not powerful when grandpa is a sick cat, Lao Tzu killed you today!

I had no scruples in my heart, and my previous fear turned into a desire for revenge, and I swung the rope and whipped it again and again, until the roots of the vines were smoky, and finally they all retracted back into the tree. Looking at the vine roots that had completely disappeared, the pleasure of revenge made me feel so uncomfortable, but just as I was about to leave, I suddenly realized that the rope I used to whip the vine roots had been broken, and the end of the forest that connected to the outside of the forest was completely missing.

I'm not particularly worried about this, because the tether is mainly to prevent me from getting lost when looking for someone laterally, but now that the person has been found, and when I came down just now, it was all downhill, and if I want to go back to the top, I just need to keep going uphill, at most it is to deviate from the position when I came down, but that doesn't have much impact.

When the crisis was lifted, I picked up the person on my back, looked back at the hideous giant vine entrenched in the canopy of dozens of old locust trees, and just wanted to leave, I suddenly heard a painful moan.

"Alas, little layman, run away, take the poor road with you!"

It was a man's voice, very obscene and weak. I jerked my head to find the source of the sound, only to find that it was coming from the corpse forest.

Damn, my heart said no, I just solved the demon vine, and I was targeted by ghosts again? However, there are so many dead people hanging in this place, and it is not impossible that there are a few lonely ghosts. Probably because they are not comfortable being hung like this, and it is not easy to meet me who has not died, how can I stop without tossing?

I swallowed my saliva, knowing that I couldn't offend these things, otherwise I wouldn't have a good life even if I went out, so I bowed to the corpse forest, and said Big brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, I know that you are uncomfortable being hung here, and I will tell your juniors to take you out and put you into the earth after I go out, and you don't have to be embarrassed for me, everyone does not violate the river water......

I was babbling so much that I didn't even know what I was talking about, it was a reflex of nervousness and fear to the extreme.

"Oh, little layman, the poor road is not a ghost, there is a poor road here, how dare those little ghosts be presumptuous, take a closer look, the poor road is on your head!"

The voice sounded again, I frowned, looked up, and sure enough, I saw a man wearing a green robe with a big bare ass hanging from the demon vine above my head, and it seemed that he was still alive.

When he saw that I had spotted him, he even greeted me: "Hello, little layman! Poor Dao is so polite......"

As he spoke, he twisted his bare ass hard, which was considered a salute, and it seemed that he was really a Taoist priest.

"Who are you, and how did you get hung here?"

I'm still not sure if this guy is really alive, if it's a trap made by this demon vine, then it's over.

"Little layman, Poor Dao knows your concerns, you let me down first, Poor Dao has his own way to prove himself, alas, it's really painful to hang like this, Poor Dao is about to be unable to hold on!"

I saw that his expression was painful, and his face was congested and purple from hanging upside down for a long time, not like a ghost, and besides, in broad daylight, even a ghost could not be so rampant, so I threw out the remaining rope wrapped around his waist and hit the vine root that hung him.

I saw a puff of green smoke coming out of the vine roots, and it shrank back, and the Taoist priest with a bare ass immediately fell down and fell to the ground full of rotten leaves.

Oops hey! The guy let out a wail after landing on the ground, and after a few seconds, he stood up tremblingly from the pile of leaves, first lifted his pants, and then waved his hand at me, and said weakly: "Thank you, thank you little layman, immeasurable Tianzun, you are a good person, you saved the life of the poor Dao, the Bodhisattva will definitely bless you!"

I was speechless for a while, and my heart said where is this, a moment of Tianzun and a Bodhisattva, so I waved my hand, said no thanks, and then asked why he was also hung here?

It's okay not to ask, but after asking, he immediately scolded emotionally, saying that he was deceiving people, and the townspeople of Fengyang Town were originally going to invite him to do things, but when he arrived, the grandsons said that they were going to a village near the town, and he was reluctant to hear that the law was not in the town, and then the mayor promised to increase the remuneration twice, and for the sake of money, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

But when he arrived at the place, he found out what kind of countryside it was, it was a mass grave at all, and the few people who accompanied him were appeased, and they had already arrived, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and began to do things.

After a long toss, the Dharma was finished, but the Taoist priest's stomach hurt, and at this time it was completely dark, and he found a place to solve it, but when he finished venting comfortably, he found that those people were gone, and he was left alone in the huge mass grave.

The Taoist priest's nose is almost crooked, the most terrible thing is that he doesn't know the road at all, and there is no human population around, how can he go back? Just when the Taoist priest was in a hurry, his stomach began to make trouble again, there was no way, even if he was angry, he had to solve his personal physiological problems first! He looked for a place, but this time he was not as lucky as just now, just when he was most comfortable, a vine like a python suddenly sprang out of the dense forest at the edge of the mass grave, and swept him to this place, and hung it for a day and a night.

I heard a sigh, no wonder this guy hung on a tree with a bare ass, the fuck didn't have time to wear it, fuck, didn't he even wipe his ass?

Thinking of this, I was disgusted and disgusted away from him, but this guy was not conscious at all, but instead came up, grabbed the rope on my body and exclaimed: "Oh, little layman, your rope is not simple, ten years of bauhinia vine juice mixed with three years of big rooster blood, such a yang and fierce thing, no wonder this evil thing is so restrained, it's just that this technique seems to belong to the Miaojiang Witch Gu lineage, could it be that the little layman is actually the descendant of the Miaojiang Witch Gu?" ”

He looked at me, a look of surprise on his blood-recovering face. The theory of witchcraft has been around for a long time, and I have seen some of them, because my grandmother is a Gu woman who is proficient in this way, but I don't know anything about it.

This Taoist priest looks harmless to humans and animals, and even a little obscene, but he can see the origin of the juice on the rope at a glance, and he thinks he has some ability, and I don't know anything about him, so I naturally don't want to say more, so I didn't answer. Fortunately, he was quite sensible, so he didn't continue to ask, just asked me if I knew how to get out.

I gave him a rope and told him to follow me from behind the vines while I found my way in front. I don't know how this little Taoist priest escaped the misfortune of being sucked dry, but I think that he still suffered a lot during the day and night when he was hanged, and he was eager to leave this ghost place at the moment, so he had no opinion on my arrangements at all.

In this way, the Taoist priest and I were on guard against the demon vines that might burst out of the fog around us at any time, while quickly climbing to the top of the slope, about half an hour later, according to my subjective consciousness, we were already very close to the top of the slope, at least I shouted now, and the people on the slope could hear my voice.

I told the Taoist priest my judgment, and he immediately widened his eyes, and said Hurry up, why don't you say it earlier if you have foreign aid, and after a while, the poor Dao will go to see the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! I didn't bother to pay attention to him, seeing that he could still play flowers on his mouth, it was definitely not as serious as he said, but I really didn't want to stay in this ghost place and go around in circles, so I shouted with all my might:

Help me!

The thick fog, the vast woods, and the sound echoed throughout the forest, which was rendered particularly eerie and terrifying by this strange environment, and I believe that if there were people nearby, they would definitely be scared to death by my voice.

As soon as I shouted, I immediately regretted it, where is this, this is the hanging corpse forest in Xianjuli, in addition to those weird demon vines, the ghost knows if there are other terrifying things, I shouted so unscrupulously, what if I find other things?

The Taoist priest was obviously aware of the problem as well, and as he listened to the echoing voices, he looked at me with concern in his eyes. I was just about to tell him that it was okay, when my pupils suddenly dilated, and he stared at me deadly, with fear spreading in his eyes.

I subconsciously turned my head to look, and I was surprised to find that there were many swaying figures faintly in the fog above us, slowly leaning towards us.

"It's them, they've come to save us!" The moment I saw the shadow, I was overjoyed, and I thought that they must have heard my cry for help, so they came down to save me!

Thinking in my heart, I wanted to meet it, but the Taoist priest suddenly grabbed me, and said with a solemn face: "Don't go, there are corpses, they are not people!" ”
