157.The Ghost Ape (I)
I had already taken out the nine-section sword, and at the same time, I was followed by Ah Wei, who looked preoccupied, I looked at him and smiled, I said, "Don't worry, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and no matter what happens, we will be able to deal with it." ”
Ah Wei reluctantly squeezed out a smile, nodded, and looked ahead, and at this time I also saw some traces on the ground, obviously there are some traces of footprints here, and these footprints are only in and out, which seems very strange, I said to Ah Wei: "What's going on here?" ”
Ah Wei looked around, and he said: "The crystal coffin is in front, but then this place was blocked, because the people who used to see the crystal coffin did not come back, and everyone felt that this place was evil, so the road was blocked." ”
I saw that there was no road from here, it was a wall sealed with masonry, and I pushed it slightly, but I heard a bang, and the wall fell, and the front was empty, and there was no crystal coffin in sight.
At this time, the monk did not seem very happy, and he said: "Where is the coffin, I think this benefactor is trying to bluff us......
"There must be, I think there is!" Ah Wei looked very excited.
I saw the clue, and I said, "Since you said that none of the people you went to have returned, then why do you know so much about it, is there something else you are hiding?" ”
Ah Wei was stunned for a moment, since he smirked, he said: "Long, Brother Long, don't be joking, how do I know, I just heard about it......"
"Your eyes tell us that you still hide something from us, if you don't want everyone to be buried with you, you can explain it, we know more clues, and we can prepare in advance later." Cloud Dance said patiently.
And Ah Wei's lips twitched, and he said, "Actually...... Actually, my mom also came in at that time, but no one knew that my mom was also part of the team, and my mom just wanted to get more coal and make more money......
"Yes." I can only half-believe it, but now is not the time to doubt my own people, I opened the wall completely, I said: "I believe that the clue is inside, let's move on." ”
There was no objection from the crowd, so we continued to move forward, but the next road was much more difficult to walk, the road in front of the wall was dug by hand, and the road behind it was much more awkward, not to mention the potholes, but there were still many ravines in it.
At the same time, there was a small sound in the distance, like the sound of a person gnawing on a bone, and goosebumps rose in those who listened.
I motioned for everyone next to me to step back, and I went over to see it myself, after all, there was a curved passage ahead, and the sound was officially coming from around the corner.
But when I walked over, I asked about the smell, which was like the smell of fart worms, very unpleasant, and like the putrid smell of a corpse, intermittent, so that people couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.
And when I shone the flashlight over, I saw what the sound was coming from, it turned out to be a furry monster about the size of a human, with a pair of big eyes like light bulbs, looking at me, and in the hand was actually grasping a finger-thick centipede and gnawing.
When it saw that I was obviously frightened, it screamed and fled away from the mouth of the cave, and I would not let it run away, and shouted behind it: "Keep up!" ”
I went over first, and at the same time, the monster ran very fast, and after a while, it had stretched a certain distance with me, and I had no choice but to take out a talisman, although I was a layman in terms of talismans, but I also knew a little bit about it.
After the talisman left my hand, it turned into a fist-sized fireball and flew quickly like a cannonball.
The monster screamed, and its butt was stopped by the fireball, and at the same time it began to roll on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames above, which could not be so easily extinguished, and it let out a wail as soon as it burned.
I soaked it and stepped on its shoulder, and with the other hand I was holding a sword against the tip of the monster's throat, and the others around me also ran over, and everyone was amazed to see the monster.
At this time, Ah Wei also ran over, pursed his lips, sweating profusely, and said, "There are quartz all around here, I'm afraid I know the crystal coffin in their mouth." ”
"Oh?" Both the monk and the cloud dance looked at me.
I said, "This white-haired monster was discovered by everyone at the time, and it must have thought it was a ghost, and the quartz around it was like a crystal, it was hidden behind, and it looked like a ghost lying in a coffin, so it can be said that there are no ghosts here at all, and there is no evil." ”
"But what is this thing?" The monk muttered.
I looked around, and thought to myself that the white shadow I had just seen was this thing, and that he had sharp teeth and a hateful face, and that he was obviously a monkey or something.
I said, "It should be a white ape or something, this thing was still eating centipedes just now, how could this ghost eat meat." ”
And the cloud dance looked at me puzzled: "Then what does this mean?" Could it be that what lies beneath this mine is the lair of some kind of creature? This is unlikely, no matter how bad Nan Boli is, if there are all this kind of white apes here, then there is nothing to be afraid of, but you think about it, what Zhou Baogen said, at that time, this place was temporarily sealed by Nan Boli, there is nothing strange, how could he spend his own strength to build a seal? ”
"Indeed, what you said is also reasonable, this matter of creating a seal is very troublesome, Nan Boli is a smart person, and he will not do such impulsive things, that is, in addition to the white ape, I am afraid that there is something waiting for us here." I said, at the same time, Yun Shangwu pushed my hand away, I looked at her puzzled, I said, "Wife, what are you...... Let it go, let it show us the way! ”
As he spoke, Yun Shangwu drew out his nine-section sword and cut a big hole in the white ape's back, at the same time, the white ape screamed, looking very painful, and after the white ape was released, he quickly rushed straight towards a square, and Yun Shangwu looked at us and said, "Keep up!" ”
I nodded heavily, took a step forward and followed, at the same time, we ran all the way, it was very painful to run in this small cave, after about ten minutes of running, I unexpectedly found that we actually entered an underground stone cave, at this time there is a lot of space in it, everywhere stalactites dripping from the top of the cave, at the same time, many stalactites and the stones on the ground form pillars, it looks quite spectacular.
I didn't expect there to be such a secret here, and we had just run away from the mine, and now where we are, there are only some ordinary stones, and there are stones and puddles everywhere, which makes this place look very strange.
At this time, the monk became vigilant, took the purple gold bowl in his hand, and he whispered: "Look around!" ”
I squinted my eyes and looked into the distance, only to find that in the dark corners around us, there were dense crowds, and a large number of red eyes were looking at us!
I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth as my eyes approached, and with the help of a flashlight, I saw a large group of white apes approaching.
At this time, Ah Wei seemed to think of something, and he suddenly said: "I know, this is not a white ape, this is a ghost ape!" ”
Hearing this unfamiliar word, I was a little confused, at the same time Ah Wei said: "There is a legend in our place, that is, every midnight, and when the full moon is full, there will be some white-haired water monkeys near the river, and the village calls them ghost apes, because they have white hair, they only come out at night, ordinary people see it, they think it is a ghost, I estimate that there is a chance that it is the group in front of me." ”
