At night, the mountains are secluded.

The humidity is thick, infested with snakes, insects, rats and ants, and it is extremely dark.

Luo Hao had already prepared, took out mosquito repellent water, smeared it all over his body, and handed it to Li Yan very enthusiastically.

Li Yan shook his head and said, "I don't need to." ”

"Huh?" Luo Hao was stunned for a moment and said: "Daochang Li, the mosquitoes in this mountain are very poisonous, if you bite you, the bag can grow bigger than your head." ”

Li Yan smiled and said, "I have true qi to protect my body, it's okay." ”

"Oh, then I'll apply more, or no one will share the damage with me, and they will all bite me." Luo Hao was stunned, and hurriedly applied another layer.

Li Yan grabbed a handful of glutinous rice from his coat pocket, sprinkled it beside the dead corpse Luo Tian, circled the corpse, turned left three times, turned right three times, and recited a mantra in his mouth: "Order the knock quickly, the thunder roars and thunders, the sky is cloudy and the earth is dark, and the sun and the moon are dark." Ten thousand demons give their hands, and they will follow. ......"

The voice fell, and the copper bell in his hand shook.

"Jingle ......"

A series of crisp sounds suddenly sounded, echoing in the night.

I saw the dead body lying on the ground, and its body suddenly straightened, straightened up, and stood up all at once.

Li Yan smiled, took out a charm, pasted it on the door of the dead corpse's head, and muttered: "People are dead, don't ask about the past in life, I will send you back to your roots today!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked away, and the copper bell in his hand shook slightly.

Luo Tian's corpse jumped up and down, following closely behind Li Yan.

Li Yan and Luo Hao walked ahead and soon entered the mountains and forests.

The deep night seemed more quiet, and the mist that slowly filled the air, with a heavy humidity and cold chill, seemed to penetrate into the marrow of human bones.

The mountain road is difficult, Li Yan walked, it was better, this Luo Hao hadn't walked on the mountain road at night for some years, and he walked extra carefully, for fear of bumping into it.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and although I walked a little slower, I didn't see any fierce beasts.

Luo Hao was carrying a lantern in his hand, the lampshade was pasted with paper several layers, and the faint candlelight shone out, so that he could only see the road not far ahead, and if he went deeper, he couldn't see it at all.

Even so, as we went deeper into the mountains and forests, the humidity became thicker and thicker, and a layer of vague water vapor appeared on the lampshade, and I had to take off the lampshade and wipe it from time to time.

The two walked all the way, had nothing to do, and naturally chatted.

Luo Hao grinned and said to Li Yan: "Daochang Li, do you know the legend we have here?" ”

Li Yan smiled: "I haven't been here, I don't know." ”

Luo Hao said: "When I was a child, I heard the older generation say that in our big mountain, there is a god in charge, called 'Sen Po Niangniang'. ”

"Lady Mori?" Li Yan was slightly stunned and said, "Why haven't I heard of it?" Is it a mountain god? Or land? ”

Luo Hao shook his head and said, "It's not a mountain god, it's not a land. ”

"Oh?" Li Yan smiled and said, "Could it be that it is still an earth immortal?" ”

Luo Hao shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is not clear, the villages in the mountains, every year and festivals, have to worship this forest woman, pray for good weather and peace, I heard the older generation of people say that in the early years, to sacrifice this forest woman Niangniang, to a boy, a virgin girl." ”

Li Yan frowned and said, "You mean to say that this Sen Po Niang Niang is still a cannibalist?" ”

"There may or may not be." Luo Hao showed a puzzled look and said: "I heard the elders of the older generation say that the boys and girls sent will become the boys around Niangniang, and follow Niangniang, just like becoming immortals, so ...... In the early years, if anyone's child could be selected and sent to sacrifice to the Mori Po Niangniang, it would be like the green smoke from the ancestral tomb, and the glory was extreme. ”

"Nonsense." Li Yan sneered.

He kind of heard it.

This Sen Po Niangniang doesn't seem to be some earth fairy, most likely, what kind of monster.

"Nonsense?" Luo Hao was stunned.

Li Yan nodded and said: "Qi turbidity is a demon, Qi Qing is an immortal, if a mortal wants to become an immortal, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky, how can it be done through offerings and sacrifices?" Do you still have this custom today? ”

Luo Hao shook his head and said: "It's been gone for a long time, since my grandfather's generation, the custom of sacrificing virgins to the mother of the forest has been canceled, I heard that ...... It's because the population in the mountains is small, and if it goes on like this, where can so many people send it to sacrifice? But I heard ...... After the cancellation of this type of sacrifice, Sen Po Niangniang was furious, and our Luo Village was once attacked by a vicious wolf. ”

"Oh?" Li Yan was quite interested.

Luo Hao said: "I heard my grandfather say that it was when he was young, and that year, the village chief decided to cancel the custom of sacrificing virgins and girls, so he ...... That year of sacrifice, people to five animals, melons and fruits to worship, did not think, so it angered the Sen Po Niangniang, that night the village was besieged by the wolf, thousands of wolves, as if out of thin air, attacked the village, overnight, killed and injured 100 people, miserable. ”

"And then?" Li Yan asked.

"Later?" Luo Hao smiled bitterly and said: "In the second year of the sacrifice, the village chief still insisted on not sacrificing boys and girls, and the people in the village supported him, after all, although it is a blessing from the ancestors to become immortals, but who wants their children to leave them?" So...... The following year, the villagers were fully prepared to deal with the attack of the wolves, and they did not think about it...... Since then, this bad habit has been abolished, and every year of sacrifice, people only worship cows, sheep, melons and fruits, and many villages in the mountains have followed suit. ”

"It seems that it's really evil." Li Yan's eyebrows narrowed slightly, thoughtfully.

"Is that not it?" Luo Hao said with a smile: "I heard the older generation of people say that before the corpse builder went out into the mountains and forests, he had to worship Sen Po Niangniang, otherwise, it was very likely that he would die in vain on the way, all in all, in the eyes of the local villagers, Sen Po Niangniang was the god in this big mountain." ”

It's been a long time, Luo Hao has only heard of these things, after all, no one has ever seen this Sen Po Niangniang with their own eyes.

Therefore, for him, he also has a half-believing attitude.

Fortunately, none of this matters, after all, now that he lives outside with his father, he doesn't bother to care about things in the mountains.

The mist kept coming.

In the darkness, it was as if there was a pair of eyes, staring at them.

Suddenly, I heard a voice from the depths of the dense forest: "Come here...... Come here......"

This voice, faintly and faintly, echoes in the mountains and forests, making people creepy.

"What's that?"

Luo Hao's body trembled in shock, his eyes widened, and he looked towards Li Yan.
