Chapter 020: Three Temples and One Mountain
After walking for about 100 meters, a pile of toad corpses appeared in front of them, and all of them looked like they had been drilled to death by something.
Speaking of drilling, I can't help but think of the Pippi eel some time ago......
Mr. Huang is a veteran in the end, and directly said that these toads died unusually, and said that he used the dagger in his hand to divide a toad into two from the middle, and the toad's stomach was not internal organs at all, but earthworms were intertwined.
Seeing this, I feel like what I have eaten in the morning has reached my throat, and even the slightest stimulation is given and I will vomit.
"Old Hu, do you know where there are any caves or places to rest recently?" Mr. Huang was more serious than ever.
Hu Boyan said: "If I remember correctly, there is a cave not far ahead, just enough for a few of us to rest, but if we are in a hurry this night, we ......."
"I know, your ancestors said that the deep forest doesn't rush to the night, but if we stay here, I'm afraid we won't survive tonight." Mr. Huang kicked away the cut toad and said: "At the beginning, I encountered a snake, then a centipede, and now a toad, if I guessed correctly, I will encounter a spider if I go further, and the five poisons have already appeared three poisons, and it is gathered at this time, there may be something big about it." β
Hu Boyan may also think that what Mr. Huang said makes sense, so he said: "Since a few of us have already arrived at this place, Lao Huang, you are the oldest and know more, then we will all listen to your arrangement, you are an expert in this aspect, and the place you are going to ......"
Mr. Huang suddenly interrupted: "Let's go, go to that cave." β
I was stunned, if something deep in the primeval forest can't let me know that there are forgivable circumstances, then why don't we know our destination either?
I grabbed Mr. Huang's wrist and said; "Mr. Huang, before coming in, Lao Hu also said, no matter how we are outside, but when we get here, we are our own people, why don't you tell me something? Since you said that you came this time to remove the Gu poison on my body, why did you hide my destination? β
Mr. Huang said that I would naturally know when the time comes, and if I had known in advance, it might have changed things.
I smiled and said: Anyway, Lao Tzu has a bad life, if you dare to pit me at that time, I will kill you.
I'm not joking, I also have a gun in my hand, and if Mr. Huang or anyone turns against the water, I will kill them first, not to mention one for four, even one for one, and I won't lose.
After Hu Boyan led us to the cave, he ordered his two classmates to collect firewood at the entrance of the cave to make a fire, and they had to take turns to be on duty at night, but I didn't have to.
Because I'm an employer, I'm rich, and I'm a gentleman.
I sat on a haystack and ate air-dried beef, and it was good to be rich!!
Since I didn't need to be on duty all night, I lay down and fell asleep after I had eaten and drunk enough, but in the middle of the night, I was woken up by Hu Boyan.
He said very seriously: "Brother, don't sleep, Lao Huang is gone." β
"What?" I sat up with a spirit.
Mr. Huang is gone, and I feel a rumble in my head, his mother.
The surname Huang ran away?
Hu Boyan ran to the entrance of the cave again to confirm: "Maybe you went out to pee, brother, don't sleep, otherwise you won't be able to react to something happen for a while." β
I nodded hurriedly, and in this case, he just stuffed me with a sleeping pill and I might not be able to sleep.
It's three o'clock in the morning, and Mr. Huang is on duty at night, but he disappeared.
If I had come over with something just now, I would have extinguished the four of us directly, and the fire in my stomach would rise when I thought of this.
I finally managed to survive until dawn, but I still didn't see Mr. Huang come back, and I was completely panicked.
Hu Boyan asked me, "What should we do?" β
I shook my head and said I don't know, I can't leave now, and I can't retreat.
Dingββ
I pulled out my phone and it showed a new text message: Keep walking.
I didn't doubt him right away, I didn't know why I trusted him so much, but I just didn't think he would hurt me.
I immediately told Hu Boyan to keep going, but we must be careful, now that Mr. Huang is not around, we have one less knowledgeable master, and I am afraid it will be much more difficult to walk.
Hu Boyan and the three of them seemed to be quite short of money, gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, and left as soon as they said yes, losing their heads was just a bowl-sized scar.
Only this time we walked surprisingly smoothly, and we consumed a lot of dry food along the way, but the distance we walked was more than half of yesterday.
I leaned against a nearby tree and felt like my legs weren't my own.
Hu Boyan patted me on the shoulder, handed me a monocular, and said, "Brother, look at the temple in front." β
I took one look and said what's wrong?
Hu Boyan said: "That temple is the boundary between the inner area of this primeval forest and the central region, and I don't know who built the temple, anyway, the mountain spirits and ghosts in the entire internal area have been killed by the three temples in the town, called Sanmiao Town and a mountain, and we have a rule that after seeing the mountain temple, you must stay in the temple for a night before you can leave, otherwise something will happen." β
As soon as my curiosity came up, I couldn't control it, and said what is Sanmiao Town and One Mountain, why is there such a rule?
Hu Boyan may also be tired, so he sat down on a tree root next to him and said, "Brother, there is another legend in our forest, do you want to hear it?" β
I immediately nodded and said yes
Hu Boyan said: "A long, long time ago, when this forest was not developed, there were a lot of rare things in it, and I heard his grandfather say that there was a village in this forest, and the people in that village were all people who knew some means, and even flying eaves and walking on the wall or something were not a problem, but there was one point. β
He said that he deliberately breathed a sigh of relief: "This mountain forest is big and there are everything, and there are not a few mountain spirits and ghosts, especially in the inner area, and later a master set up three temples in the edge of the central region and the inner region when he passed through here, and worshiped the three mountain gods respectively, so as to suppress the demons in the inner region, so that they have no way to come out and persecute people who strayed into this deep forest, but if they break into the inner area......
Hu Boyan didn't say the rest of the words, just smiled.
I said, "If you break into the inner area, you're going to die, right?" β
He nodded, but corrected: "It's ten deaths, because I haven't seen anyone enter alive and come out alive for decades, and if it weren't for the rush to use money, I wouldn't have taken this risk to enter the inner area." β
I began to understand why Mr. Huang didn't let him tell me when he first came in, with my character, if I knew that I would never be able to come to the inner area, but now that I have come here, even if I want to go back, it is impossible.
After all, it's like a person who is about to die of thirst and suddenly sees a bubble of urine, although he is disgusting, but in order not to die of thirst, he still wants to drink it.
I think I'm in this situation right now, and I don't have a choice.
After saying that, the old nonsense said let's go into that temple and rest, maybe something will happen here.
As soon as I thought about it, I followed him with my luggage.
When I got to this temple, I was taken aback.
He asked Hu Boyan: "Brother Hu, why is this obviously a mountain temple, and why is there a yaksha carved on the gate with half a human head in its mouth?" β
