Chapter Forty-Eight: Animism

When the first drop of rain falls on a summer night.

Ye Bei struggled and got up.

The girl hasn't said a word of peace yet.

"It's fine." Ye Beidu learned to answer.

The monster on the other side of the bank that looked like a giant ape was dirty, and Ye Bei thought about it for a while before he remembered what kind of monster it was.

Long arms with a back-heel and burrs on the back.

Ye Bei cautiously retreated with the cat master.

He said to Wu Ming, the main DPS.

"Xiaoming, this thing seems to be Xiaoyang."

Xiaoyang is also called the mountain spirit, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Foreign Matter Chronicles", "Anthology of Wudu" has a record, it is a kind of black-haired giant ape, the body is huge, laughing when you see people, and holding a big bamboo pipe in your hand. When the mouth is opened, the lips can cover the entire skull, and he likes to eat people. Unlike the mandrill, Xiaoyang's body is larger and his IQ is lower.

"That's not right!"

Wu Ming immediately ruled out this answer, he opened the eight sword coffins, the iron sword in his hand was rusty, and when Ye Bei was completely alive, the iron sword began to fade, "If it is an evil thing, the sword coffin will react." ”

"What kind of thing do you think that's that?" Ye Bei is out of line now, his knowledge of Mr. Yin and Yang is so barren that he can only chat with his ghost brothers.

Wu Ming put away the sword and said indifferently, "Brother Ye, I think it's a wood spirit." ”

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the mud on the body of "Xiaoyang" was washed away by the heavy rain, revealing the intricate wooden textures in it, and the meridians on his face originally looked like snakes, but they were actually thick vines.

"Wood Spirit ......" Ye Bei's mind was full of question marks.

Wood Spirit, also known as Wood Charm, is a tree demon with legends in both the East and the West, and the old demon of Montenegro in "A Chinese Ghost Story" in "Liao Zhai" is mostly the image of the tree demon.

They are available in both wild-type and shrine-lodge types.

They can make their own shrines and houses, like Grandma Montenegro, and be a local snake who harms one party. You can also make offerings to the gods and collect the incense merits of the fairy boss.

Only then did Ye Bei understand that just now the cat master instigated the minions to burn the mountain temple, precisely because the blood vine was the guardian spirit of the mountain temple.

OK...... OK......

Ye Bei thought about it carefully, and his heart palpitated, seeing that the blood vines were rooted under the two main temples of Ruyun Mountain, and the Zhenshui Temple should also be guarded by this wood spirit.

If he, a ghost, had really met the Xiaoyang Evil Beast, he would have called his brother and brother to see each other late, and formed a group to find someone to be a snack, and it was not strange to meet a mascot like the guardian spirit and be hit in the head by a home run.

It's just that...... Why? Why does it imitate Xiaoyang?

Ye Bei saw that the wood spirit was still imitating the appearance of the Xiaoyang Evil Beast, and he could still see it "laughing" from a distance, revealing a "chrysanthemum mouth" composed of vines.

"That's ......" Lingxi's eyes were blank, and she walked all the way forward, as if she had lost her soul.

She could see every grass and tree in the entire Ruyun Mountain, the sun was sinking in the west, the sky was completely dark, and from the cracks in the tile roof of the Zhenshui Ling Temple, a little cyan fluorescence emerged.

Reiki muttered to herself, "That's its friend......"

Ye Bei stepped forward to hold the girl, but the girl's weight did not allow it, and dragged Ye Bei's body step by step onto the chain bridge.

The rain drenched Lingxi soaking wet, and she defied the cold and stepped barefoot on the cold iron bridge deck.

Wu Ming walked forward quickly, wanting to explore the reality first. Tell Lingxi to stop it with one hand.

"I'm sober, Brother Ye. Brother Xiaoming. ”

Lingxi's little head has a normal person's sixteen watts of sufficient bioelectric energy, which can light up a light bulb and light up her intelligent life.

"Let me pass, I know what to do. The rhinoceros is talking to me......"

Hearing this, Ye Bei slowly let go of his hand.

Lingxi said again: "If you don't worry, you two can follow behind." ”

After speaking, she walked towards Mu Ling's "Xiaoyang Incarnation".

Beneath the walkway of the chain bridge, the river began to become irritable after eating the rain, wave after wave. Many sewage outlets have been flooded, and white garbage can be seen washing out of the sewage drains.

Lingxi walked more and more urgently, eager to grow wings, and at first stepped heavily on the iron plate bridge, every time it was like an earthquake.

She ran up to the evil beast incarnated by the wood spirit and raised her hands in the air.

The wood spirit incarnation tilted its head slightly, as if seeing something familiar, and began to be confused, and the two small white flowers on its face became eyeballs, as if they were confused, and the flowers opened and closed uncertainly, as if they were blinking.

"Hug!" Ling Xi shouted.

In an instant, most of the wood spirit's rhizomes retracted into the ground, and Xiaoyang's avatar also turned into a small squirrel made of vines, which ran unhindered on the mud road, running to Lingxi's legs, rubbing the girl's ankles.

Ye Bei was only about ten meters away from the girl, and his variety could be identified from the burrs on the Muling vine.

It is a golden cherry tree.

After a while, it turned into a big wolf again, with a bloody mouth full of barbed tongues, trying to lick Reiki's face.

"Be careful!" Ye Bei exclaimed.

"Hahahaha...... Hahahaha...... Itchy...... Go away! Lingxi raised her hand to block the incarnation of the wood spirit, and the sharp vine thorns couldn't pierce the girl's skin.

Watch the wood spirit transform into a bird's shape, two thin branches supporting the bird's wings, and let out a loud cry.

"Boss, listen! It says! These are its friends. O its friends! ”

From evil beasts, mountain spirits, wild monsters to ordinary animals.

Mu Ling also imitated the appearance of the land lord, turning into a human form, leaning on his waist and cane, and making an exaggerated grimace towards Lingxi.

"It says that every life is its friend." Lingxi turned back happily, but unconsciously, this girl's eyes were full of tears, mixed in the rain, falling into her mouth, extremely salty.

Lingxi looked at Ye Bei, and then looked back at the Zhenshui Spirit Temple.

The temple is not far away, and after walking a step, but only about ten meters, after walking a cement lawn, you can step into its gate, but this step is inevitably too high.

Ye Bei could see the statue of the spirit rhino god full of red spots and scars in the Zhenshui Spirit Temple, and he could also see the gate without a threshold, he wondered at first, why didn't the temple even have a threshold, this kind of god who suppressed spirits, the threshold could be so high that children couldn't step in.

"It'......"

Reiki's laughter slowly turned into crying.

"They ......"

The tone was choked, as if he had been wronged.

The girl stomped her leg fiercely, shaking the mud under her feet, revealing the solid foundation, and saw cracks spread, crumbling the floor of the temple floor of about 30 square meters on the high platform behind her into pieces, revealing a bottomless pit.

Ye Bei can see clearly, a large amount of domestic garbage and construction waste during development are buried in it, piled up into a hill, and not far away, a drainage canal two or three meters deep has been built along the higher mountainside, and from the ditch in the tourism development zone all the way down with oil and garbage, it flows into this big pit.

There is no threshold to block the Zhenshui Spirit Temple, and Tongtian Rhino is also willing to share his residence with every mountain spirit.

The mountains are brightly lit and the clouds are shrouded in mist, and the hotels are like a fairyland on earth.

The fireflies on the mountainside are gloomy and demonic, and the lonely spiritual temple is like a haunted holy place.

In this stinky pit, the spirit positions of hundreds of mountain spirits and wild monsters are buried deep in it, and some of them still emit various different lights, and more spirit cards are no different from ordinary wood, and they can no longer feel the spiritual power, and they have completely dissipated.

"Girl, don't cry, I'll listen."

Ye Bei took two steps forward, wanting to comfort this girl.

The wood spirit turned into a mighty and fierce Xiaoyang shape again, and the rattan stick in his hand fell fiercely!

Knock –

Ling Xi resisted the rattan stick with one hand, as steady as Mount Tai.

"Mr. Ye...... Boss Ye...... My mouth is stupid, everyone says I'm stupid... I do not know...... I don't know what to say, and I don't know how to express what is in my heart. ”

She's a clumsy girl - but so what?

"I'm sorry... Ye Bei, this time... It seems that there is no money this time... I don't have any money! ”

Mu Ling turned into a human hand, made a handkerchief out of leaves, and wiped the girl's tears.

"Help me, Ye Bei, please help me."

"It's, it's begging me for help...... It's saying help! This mountain, this river...... Every friend, they're telling me help! ”

She called Boss Ye by his name, this was the first time she asked Ye Bei for assistance, and the first time she was not so duplicitous - even if Ye Bei was trampled on by her just now, her face was covered with mud, she wanted to be cheeky, ask herself, and ask Ye Bei for help from the bottom of her heart.

Ye Bei looked at the sky, counted the time in his heart, and looked at the "human filth" in the big pit in the mountain col.

In another five hours, the neighbors should be able to get the regular money, and the Midyear Festival is as important as the New Year for the villagers who return to the sun in the underworld.

Who wouldn't want to come back and see their loved ones?

He thought about it for a long, long time, took out the hairpin given by Zhaojun's sister, and crushed the small gourd on the hairpin.

"Come!" He patted Lingxi on the shoulder, "Girl, put on your prairie-colored pure natural and pollution-free floral skirt!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Ling made a plain long skirt from the flowers and leaves of the golden cherry blossom and put it on Lingxi's hospital gown.

The river was at high tide, the water level overwhelmed the warning line, and the whole urban area of Hengyin began to broadcast a red warning for heavy rain.

Ye Bei took the hands of the two little guys and walked towards the garbage mountain in the big pit.

Wu Ming opened the King Kong umbrella to protect the two from the rain.

"Let's go to its house for a tea party! Rush to it!"

Ye Bei stepped into the filth step by step, picked up one of the spirit cards, and put it into the baggage.

"The host's house is not clean, and of course the guest has to help clean it."

Lingxi gave a hard "um" sound!

"And." Ye Bei turned to Wu Ming and asked, "Why didn't you take it out earlier?" Do you have a piece of hygiene? Why are you stunned? ”

Wu Ming's face was slightly flustered: "Oh... Brother Ye and Sister Lingxi said very reasonably, I listened to it so intoxicated, I forgot it for a while. I am blind in both eyes, if I scratch my hand, I will not be able to hold the sword after the wound is infected, Brother Ye and Sister Lingxi are not ordinary people, and they cannot be generalized. ”

Ye Bei muttered quietly.

β€œ...... Cutting people so neatly, making a fool in such a place, and touching the fish for a perfect reason, this guy is definitely a natural black. ”

After complaining, Ye Bei continued to rummage through the garbage, and his hands called the hard plastic shell of the trash can and the disposable tableware to be cut, and the large and small scars overflowed and bleed.

The broken glass of a beer bottle in the garbage mountain cut through his footboardβ€”

- Blood slowly seeps into the ground. A young bud came out of it, it seemed to see the spring light, and the leaves burst out with majestic vitality between the opening and closing, as if they were breathing in and out.

- Growing like crazy.
