Chapter 32: The Mandrill

A few mandrills flashed out, and everyone was surprised, and quickly stood up to meet the enemy, counting the total of five.

This thing had an old melon-skinned human face, yellow hair, strange limbs, sharp nails, long knees, and walked like an ostrich.

Wu Zhengyi said to himself: "The mandrill should be covered in black hair, and I have never seen such a big one, it's really strange!" ”

Ah Zhen walked over, she looked at the short sword in Wu Zhengyi's hand: "Uncle Wu, what a good sword!" ”

Wu Zhengyi: "It's a prize!" It's just an ordinary short sword! How can there be such a thing in your back mountain? ”

Ah Zhen looked ahead and said: "These mandrills are very old, and their hair has changed color, I think it should be when the ancestors first entered Jinfeng Mountain, the few who were driven to Jinling can't imagine that they have lived for hundreds of years." ”

Guo Fatzi quietly leaned into Ah Zhen's ear: "Ah Zhen, what is a mandrill?" How do you look like an ape! ”

Ah Zhen didn't answer the fat man, but said lightly: "Later, you can find their heads and shoot them." ”

The mandrill "Whoa, whoa, whoa" ghosts screamed, revealing a mouthful of sparse rotten teeth, as if they were talking, and the sound was extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

As soon as the ghost stopped, the mandrills instantly dispersed, two roaring one after the other and rushed straight over, and the other three climbed the trees or burrowed into the bushes to prepare for a surprise attack.

Guo Fatzi grabbed it and shouted at Shen Jinsan: "I want to hit the head before you and behind me!" ”

Shen Jinsan: "Know! ”

"呯~呯~" Two gunshots echoed in the mountains.

The mandrill that rushed to the front was shot off by Guo Fatzi, and it fell to the ground scratching and couldn't stand up.

The figure behind flashed, changed the original trajectory, Shen Jinsan shot only on his body, this mandrill was injured, but even more angry, a flick of the hind legs, directly pounced on Ah Zhen, Shen Jinsan wanted to shoot again, found that the bullets were exhausted, it turned out that when the shotgun went off in the cave, one of the two bullets had been used to fight the big crab.

"Bah~" There was another gunshot, but fortunately, Guo Fatzi made up for it in time, and the mandrill's brain burst and fell directly to the ground motionless.

When it was too late, two mandrills from the old tree above everyone's heads opened their claws and pounced down, and one of them rushed out from behind them.

Wu Zhengyi raised his short sword to parry, Wu Xin took out a dagger and met the enemy with his father, and the one behind him also fought with Ah Xiang, this mandrill moved quickly, and its nails were as sharp as knives, but after a few rounds, both father and daughter were colored, and Ah Xiang was even shaved off a large piece of flesh.

Although Guo Fatzi and Shen Jinsan quickly reloaded their ammunition, the battle situation was too chaotic, and they were afraid of accidentally injuring their teammates, so they could only join the ranks of hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, I saw Ah Zhen take out a slender human bone flute from her sleeve, and the flute was blown, accompanied by the flute sound of "woo" like a ghost crying, and I don't know where several tiny crimson gold-ringed poisonous snakes came out of nowhere.

The poisonous snake swam rapidly on the ground, and several of them were directly trampled to death by the mandrills, and the surviving ones soon wrapped around the calves of the three mandrills, and the mandrills suddenly screamed and foamed at the mouth, and instantly collapsed on the ground, convulsing all over.

Everyone saw that after these poisonous snakes had bitten the mandrill, they slowly climbed back to Ah Zhen's legs, and then got into her sleeves.

The mandrill is dead, except for Ah Zhen, the other five people are already skin and flesh, if there are no these poisonous snakes, it is estimated that everyone will not be able to survive tonight.

Wu Zhengyi wiped the blood stains from the short sword: "Snake control!" It's not easy! ”

Seeing that everyone was injured, Shen Jinsan said indignantly to Ah Zhen: "Why didn't you release the snake earlier!" ”

Ah Xiang thrust the firewood knife in her hand into her waist and looked a little angry, she used her non-fluent Chinese to fight for Ah Zhen: "Although the snake Gu is highly poisonous, the mandrill moves too fast, and it is only easy to start fighting when they stop to fight us!" ”

After hearing this, Shen Jinsan apologized again: "I'm sorry! I misunderstood! ”

Wu Xin: "Don't be like him, this person is a big boss!" ”

Ah Zhen, who looked up at the starry sky, smiled back at Shen Jinsan: "It's okay!" ”

Back at the campfire and sitting down, everyone began to check their injuries.

Wu Zhengyi and Wu Xin both took out gold sore medicine, and Wu Zhengyi said: "I see that the incense injury is not light, you can use it first!" ”

"Uncle Wu, I have!" Ah Xiang took out the herbs from her satchel, then put them in her mouth and chewed them and applied them to the wound.

Guo Fatzi bared his teeth and sprinkled medicinal powder on the wound: "This mandrill is so special that it looks like a monkey, what the hell is it, we have been going up the mountain for a long time, why don't we come during the day, we have to come at night!" ”

Wu Zhengyi: "Legend has it that mandrills are born as a kind of spirit, they are afraid of light, and mandrills generally have nests, I guess there should be more than these few!" ”

Jane: "Yes, they came out to find food and we met them, I'm afraid these few don't go back, there will be more later!" ”

Wu Zhengyi: "Hmm! Hurry up and clean up, put out the fire, and let's go to Jinling overnight! ”

Shen Jinsan looked at the wound on his chest and fell into deep thought, just now the mandrill slashed with his palm, and the mark on this human face was actually hard enough to resist the sharp nails.

After bandaging the wound, Ah Xiang led everyone to hurry overnight.

Coming to the top of Jinfeng Mountain, the mountain wind is whistling, reflecting the starlight, you can see that the top is full of ruins and broken walls, but there are still two stone pillars, once upon a time, there should be a building here.

Jinling is not big, there are steep cliffs on three sides, and there is a high and high point on the edge of their cliff, and it is estimated that a person can stand on it, and it should be seen as the mouth of a phoenix.

Wu Zhengyi instructed everyone to find the tomb that Chen A said, which should not be difficult on the Jinling that could be seen at a glance, but things did not go well, because there was nothing but rubble in the ground, and under a half-collapsed sloping wall, Wu Xin found a stone forest that had stiffened sleeping on a plaque.

Wu Zhengyi squatted down and flipped over Shi Lin's collar: "Hey~!" Poor kid! Shi Lin probably didn't want to come to Jinfeng Mountain with us, because then he wouldn't have to see his grandfather Chen A, so he wanted to go to the forbidden land to find his mother first, but unfortunately he didn't know that if the golden talisman around his neck was blistered, his life would not be long! ”

Shen Jinsan found the half piece of copper pendant from Shi Lin's tight hand, and the fat man was also very guilty because of his insult to Shi Lin before.

Wu Xin choked up and suggested that everyone move the stone forest to an open place and build a grave for him with stones.

Moving away the body of the stone forest, the three big characters on the plaque were revealed:

"Nine Stars"

In the process of moving the stones, a secret door to the mountain was found under a foundation.

After burying the stone forest, everyone's hearts were very heavy, and they decided to sit around the secret door to rest for a while, ready to wait for the mood to calm down, and then go to open the secret door.

Ah Zhen felt the ancient flute blowing, this time the song was different from the last time, the flute sound was melodious and sad, with the mountain wind through the canyon, drifting into the distance.

"Nine Star Temple, this place was originally supposed to be a Taoist Temple, I don't know what it has to do with our Nine Star Sect!" Wu Zhengyi muttered to himself.

Wu Xin went to ask his father: "How can the secret door be under the Taoist temple, the Miao people and Taoism have never had anything to do with it, what is going on with this secret door, it may not lead to that tomb!" ”

Shen Jinsan: "Without the death of Shi Lin, we would not have moved stones, and we would not have found the secret door, just like the prophetic stele we saw, as if everything was predestined!" ”

Wu Xin: "Could the house carved in the stone refer to this broken temple?" ”

Shen Jinsan: "Maybe! Maybe it's been a long time, and the original temple has been dilapidated. ”

Guo Fatzi lit two cigarettes, gave one to Shen Jinsan, and then smoked without much talk.

Along the way, only Shen Jinsan could see that Guo Fatzi had actually been preoccupied all the time, and he was not as cheerful as usual.
