Chapter 59: The Black-Clawed Snake
Tick, tick, tick
The sound of water droplets gradually became clearer, Da Ka, who had been in a coma for a long time, regained some consciousness, slowly woke up, and wanted to turn over, but there was a pain in his back, and he vaguely remembered that after seeing everyone fall asleep, someone hit him from behind.
Da Ka gritted his teeth, supported the ground with one hand, sat up slowly, it was dark all around, Da Ka took out an emergency flashlight from the inner pocket of his clothes and shone it on it, the black was not at the top, this is like the bottom of a well, how could it fall down? And he's the only one here!
The day slowly came to an end, the night gradually alternated, in Xianling Town, 150 kilometers away from Xiajiang City, there is a main peak of 754 meters above sea level Xianling Mountain, in the middle of the mountain is located a lonely house, the owner is a fisherman in his early 50s, in the Xianling Mountain, which has been deserted and inhabited, living alone, relying on fishing and hunting for a living. Growing up in Xianling Town since he was a child, he has experienced the generational changes here, the people here have moved away, and the sick have died, and he has been living here, guarding this place with his life.
In this house, there were still three people asleep, namely Erka, Minister and Lanlan, night fell, the temperature plummeted, and several people slept all afternoon and finally couldn't help the cold and woke up.
The minister opened his eyes and saw Erka lying beside her with a happy face, and gave Erka a melon seed with a shout of "pop".
Erka was inexplicably woken up, and his face was full of puzzled questions:! Who hit me!
The minister sat aside and said: Two cards! You, you, you...... How can you sleep with me?
Erka was stunned and said: Huh? Yes?? What the hell was you beating me just now?
The minister punched Erka in the shoulder again: I asked how you sleep next to me!!
Erka was asked inexplicably and said: How can I know, and it's not that I sleep next to you alone, isn't there still Lanlan!!
Only then did the minister see Lan Lan, who was still asleep, and hurriedly woke her up.
Lan Lan rubbed her eyes and sat up and asked, "Brother Nana?" How can we fall asleep here?
The minister said: Don't Nanaige, Daka is not here!
After the three of them woke up, they walked out of the room and found that this was the small bedroom of the fisherman's family. Have you seen the big card?
The fisherman said, "You said that young man with a lot of water, and when I woke up, I saw that he had left a note."
After speaking, he pointed to a piece of paper on the altar, Lan Lan ran over and picked it up and read it: You rest here first, I already know the whereabouts of the Taoist, wait for my good news.
Erka said disdainfully: Day! This thing is going to go with personal heroism again, leaving us to go on our own.
The minister thought about it and said helplessly: Hey, forget it, let him go by himself.
"Ahh How dangerous it is for Nanai to be alone, no, I'm going to find him! Lan Lan finished speaking and was about to go out.
The minister grabbed Lan Lan and said, "It's okay, just let him go by himself." Then he asked the fisherman, "Master, why did we suddenly fall asleep?" ”
The fisherman sighed: "Ah! I was asleep at the time, and when I woke up, I found that you were all lying on the ground, and I couldn't wake up, so I carried them into the house one by one, and later found the note on the altar.
Minister: But you didn't tell the Great Cardado where he was, so why did he suddenly leave us and look for it ourselves? Although he usually insists on going his own way, he won't do things that he is not sure of, not to mention that he always knows that the answer is with you, why do you have to find it yourself?
The fisherman was asked impatiently: How do I know this, you are going to ask him......
The minister put his hands on his chest and said, "Then let me ask you, in the afternoon you said that you know where the Taoist is, and that we may not be able to go to that place to find him, so I want to know where that place is?" We're people who have even been to the ghost gate!!
The fisherman picked up his pipe again and took a few puffs, shaking his head: "If you don't go in when you get to the ghost gate, then you still can't find him." Then he tapped his pipe on the ground and said, "Down there......
A few people were surprised and said: Next?
Erka asked: Could it be that he has already gone down the mountain?
The fisherman shook his head: "In the soil is safe, and people are under the soil."
Erka couldn't believe his ears: Ah!! You mean he...... He's dead?
Fisherman: This is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation......
There are nine Xianling Mountains in a row, we are in the fifth peak of Xianling Mountain, that is, the main peak, and few people have been to the four peaks behind, which are called the back four mountains. The last four mountains are full of fierce beasts, all kinds of poisonous insects, and snakes. If there is no experience, people will basically not die and will be crippled when they go to Housi Mountain, and many people are discouraged when they hear about the horror there. And legend has it that there is a terrible creature in the four mountains after that, the snake body lizard legs, and the four legs only grow in the front position, the whole is more than ten meters long, and those who see it will have bad luck.
At that time, some people in the town spontaneously organized brave people to go hunting in the Housi Mountains, Li Laoer's grandfather was a very good hunter when he was young, he was the initiator of this, and recruited a total of 6 people, all of whom were hunters with some experience, and marched together to the Housi Mountains. At first, it was quite smooth, killing a few wolves, but there would be constant poisonous insect attacks, two people collapsed directly after being attacked, and the others were also a little afraid, and they encountered this situation as soon as they came in, and the remaining four people all went back except for Li Laoer's grandfather. Grandpa Li's second grandfather was not convinced, could there be people who were afraid that animals would not succeed, so they moved forward alone. But just a few steps, he faced a snake flying over, he reacted fast enough, directly shot the head, after being shot in the head, the snake did not die, but struggled and twisted to spurt blood and escaped, but the more he walked, the more wrong it became, he found that every once in a while, a snake would fly out, he would shoot his head, and the snake that was shot in the head escaped in exactly the same way as before, so it happened five times in a row, and he himself was a little afraid, so he hurried back, and at the moment he turned around, The headless snake flew from behind and wrapped tightly around his neck, and when he was about to suffocate, he saw a large snake with four black legs crawling slowly past him......
The minister swallowed nervously and said: The same thing happened five times, did the ghost hit the wall?
Angler: No, the ghost hits the wall just spinning in place, and he's spinning the whole thing.
Lanlan: That...... Did the man die in the end?
When he woke up, he found that he was already at home, it was already the third day, and his daughter-in-law told him that they had not returned for a night after they had gone to Sishan, and the next day several families had joined forces to look for him, and finally found him and the bodies of five other people by the Xianling River. When they were found, they all had strangulation marks on their necks, and they were all suffocated to death. He thought about it, no more and no less than five flying snakes, could it be that killing one means that a teammate is dead?
He was so anxious that he was about to go out to ask for verification, but he was stunned by what was happening in front of him, and his own family was also doing white business, and his daughter-in-law told him that the day after he was found, his old mother died.
In the end, he couldn't stand the blow and went crazy all day long, and in the same year, the old father and his daughter-in-law also died one after another. Word spread throughout the town, some said that he strangled his teammates to death and pretended to be crazy and stupid, some said that he offended the mountain god, and some said that he saw the black-clawed snake, and future generations would go to worship the snake demon. Opinions differed, and soon after, he disappeared.
Since then, no one dares to go to the Housi Mountain.
Erka: So he did see the snake before he was cursed?
Fisherman: It can be understood that Li Laoer's father, as well as himself, together with his son, the whole family, all died, this is the power of the snake demon.
Lan Lan peeked at the one enshrined on the altar, the snake-headed figure, and thought: Could it be that they worship the snake demon as a mountain god?
"Ah!!!!h Lan Lan suddenly screamed, as if remembering something.
