Chapter 150: Little tricks
Of course, I didn't bring real feces, but powder with a similar smell. This kind of thing can be sold as long as you look for it, of course, you won't buy it on the bright side, but for a native of Qingyun Town like me, it's as easy as a finger.
Although everything is unpredictable, I have a strong feeling that something is likely to happen tonight. The air was filled with miasma, and the ground was full of beast footprints, and it would be strange if there were no problems living in such a place.
In fact, it wasn't just me, Cai Hongyue decided to live here, saying that when it was the safest place, Panhu, Wang Tiancheng, and even Ling Xiao all expressed that this was the wrong choice. Of course, what they said was very vague, for fear that Hongyue would be angry.
If it's a normal person, think about it carefully with your head to know - if a professional demon slayer says it's dangerous, it must have a basis, and he won't make such a bad joke with you. But Hongyue's reaction was terrible, and she was right to insist on herself.
I don't know where she learned the knowledge of the three-legged cat's survival in the wild, but with some knowledge of the wrong occasion, she said that this is the best place to live. There is nothing wrong with the knowledge on which the red moon is based, but that only applies to tropical primeval forests.
I guess that others don't know tonight, but Ling Xiao shouldn't be able to fall asleep, and when I saw Hongyue and everyone start to set up tents here, his face was also a little unsightly, indicating that he also found a problem.
As far as I know, the knowledge of the field of demon slayer may not be as rich as that of a true survival expert, but it is more than enough compared to the average person, because they will enter such places in order to get rid of ghosts. And I don't even have the knowledge of the funeral scriptures in my head.
And I am also the most familiar with this Nanshan Ridge, known as the mass grave of Nanshan Ridge at night, it is almost another "world", if you want to be safe here, either you have a big life, or you have a big ability.
But Red Moon does not belong to the above two situations, she belongs to the third type - big heart. People are stupid and don't measure their own strength, and the reason why I agreed to Hongyue to live in this kind of place without any objection is also to let Hongyue taste the hardships.
Anyway, when encountering danger, it won't be me the first person to have an accident, so let her do it herself. When I first entered the tent, there was still some light faintly coming in from the outside, but when the small oil lamp left in the tent was on, I asked Wang Ermazi to turn off the light.
I said Mazi, let's go to bed early tonight, and I guess something fun might happen when I wake up early tomorrow morning. Wang Er Mazi also laughed, saying that he really wanted to see the red moon's deflated expression.
In order to avoid danger, Wang Er Mazi and I also deliberately kept a certain distance from those people, so in terms of direction, my tent and Wang Er Mazi were at the lowest point, and it was also the closest place to go down the hill.
According to Red Moon, this is the most dangerous place, and whoever lives here is a fool. But I still took Wang Er Mazi to set up a tent here, during which Hongyue has been sneering, and Wang Er Mazi wanted to go back several times, so I stopped it.
In the end, I smiled and said to Hongyue that there was no way, who made us both stupid, and she seemed to understand that she was boring herself, and left with a cold snort.
But I'm not fighting against Red Moon, but because Red Moon is completely wrong - this is the safest place to see anything in the darkness near the downhill down the hill and towards the south side.
Hongyue was not familiar with the terrain of Nanshan Ridge, so he made that kind of stupid judgment that Nanshan Ridge was an ordinary forest. Like Nanshan Ridge, the number of ferocious beasts is not large, and the real horror is actually the lonely ghost and wild ghost. And there are several places in Nanshan Ridge that can be regarded as the concentration point of evil qi.
And the reason why I set up a tent in the current place is to avoid the concentration of evil energy as much as possible. If my calculations are correct, the Red Moon is in the deepest part, the closest to the uphill position, and it is barely contained in the concentration of evil energy.
I thought I just reminded her that she definitely wouldn't take it seriously, so I didn't need to be bored. After chatting with Wang Er Mazi for a while, my eyelids also began to get a little heavy. I set my mind to get up for an hour before I got up.
According to the structure of the human body, it is best to set sleep in units of 90 minutes, which is just enough to supplement a week's deep sleep. The average adult needs about three weeks of deep sleep.
Red Moon definitely can't wake up at this time, and the reason why I want to wake up at this time is to check the sobriety outside. Before I went back to the tent, I actually buried a demon talisman in the campfire that could identify ghosts.
Around two o'clock in the morning, it is the time when the evil spirit is at its strongest, and it is also the time when the ghost activity is at its highest. In the Nanshan Ridge, the wandering lonely ghosts were already ready to move almost before nightfall, and I felt it the moment I entered the Nanshan Ridge.
But now the most important thing is to ensure safety, Wang Er Mazi can lie in a large shape and sleep carefree, but the things I should pay attention to are the ones that need to be paid attention to. If that red moon was killed directly by the ghosts, everyone would naturally be happy, but Panhu was the employer after all.
I really can't believe Wang Tiancheng's guy, so it's better to supervise it yourself. Panhu has a strong body, but it can be seen from his face that he should not have experienced this kind of long journey, and the feeling of exhaustion is completely written on his face.
So if Wang Tiancheng, who was with Panhu, also fell asleep with him, then Panhu might be in danger, and if nothing happened when he got up at two o'clock in the morning, he could judge that nothing would happen tonight.
90 minutes of sleep didn't bring any obvious effect, I still felt tired when I woke up, but it was definitely better than not sleeping, and more importantly, when I looked at the campfire that should have been extinguished, I suddenly lost my sleepiness, and I couldn't help but grow my mouth.
At this moment, on the bonfire, a blood-red light is burning - this is the strongest reaction of the demon talisman! There will be this kind of blood-red light, generally speaking, there are only two situations, one is that there are too terrifying ghosts nearby, at least they are all at the level of the ghost king.
The other shows that there are a lot of ghosts. I closed my eyes and felt it, but I didn't feel anything particularly powerful. If it's strong enough to make the demon talisman glow with blood, then I don't think I can't feel its spirit.
That is to say...... There's a whole bunch of goblins coming in our direction? But it's rare, why......"
Thinking about the second scenario, I couldn't help but be confused by the possibility of a large number of ghosts. Could it be that there are corpse chasers like Wang Tiancheng who came to Nanshan Ridge, this possibility seems to be greater, otherwise, I really can't imagine why a group of unjustly killed ghosts would gather.
Originally, I wanted to wake up the fat boy directly, but after thinking about it, I still think it's okay, he can't help when he wakes up anyway, so let him continue to carry the luggage tomorrow. After half a day, there was no movement, and I opened a small window in the tent.
The perimeter of the window was closed with a zipper, and when it was opened, the darkness enveloped the entire forest, and there was hardly any scene to be seen, except for the blood-red flames on the campfire.
"What an evil man...... Nanshan Ridge is a place, and sure enough, no matter how many times you come, you will feel evil. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. A deathmatch with Village Chief Hong came to mind.
However, just when I thought that something might not happen tonight, and I was about to open the window to go to sleep, suddenly, a powerful wave in the space made me shudder slightly. He jerked his head up into the depths of the darkness.
It was as if I had felt a vision at the same moment, and there was a slight movement in the tent of the red moon and the tent of the tiger in Panhu, and after a while, both of them walked out of their respective tents.
I was quite surprised to see that Wang Tiancheng didn't fall asleep selfishly, I originally thought that he would definitely not take Panhu's personal safety seriously. Seeing that both of them had already gone out of the tent, I also climbed out.
The sky is full of stars, and the cold moon is like a stiff orphan, squatting on the edge of the sky and looking coldly at the ground, the moonlight looks like a cold ice surface in the thick inky darkness, without a trace of temperature.
I saw that Wang Tiancheng and Ling Xiao had already come to one place and looked into the distance, and walked up curiously, asking if they also felt something. Ling Xiao glanced back, and then said with a wry smile, not to mention the feeling, we are likely to have encountered a hundred ghosts walking at night.
"Hyakki Night Walk......? Really, are you sure?! "At first, I didn't react, but the knowledge contained in the funeral scripture suddenly appeared in my mind, and I screamed in shock, and Wang Tiancheng hurriedly covered my mouth nervously.
"You can't let those beasts hear it! Once discovered, we will also end up with a fate of fleeing for our lives! There are so many things on her body now, it's still too late, and she will definitely go crazy if she wants to wake up the red moon! ”
I looked at Wang Tiancheng's anxious appearance, and I was also amused in my heart, thinking that this guy also regards Hongyue's opinion very important, but it can be understood, after all, this guy is also a snob, I already knew.
But there is one thing that must be clarified, I grabbed Ling Xiao and asked again seriously, is this really running into a hundred ghosts at night. Ling Xiao said that there would be no mistake, he had encountered a hundred ghosts a few years ago, and this was the third time he had encountered a hundred ghosts at night.
This time, the fluctuations of the evil qi he felt in the air were exactly the same as the previous two times. When I heard him say this, my face gradually became solemn. Ling Xiao whispered, maybe leaving is the best way, now they are not far from us.
I also agree with Ling Xiao's opinion, and that's why I have to keep repeating whether the current encounter is not a hundred ghosts walking at night. Hundred ghosts walk at night, it seems to be literal, but it does not refer to lonely souls and wild ghosts, but to those "monsters" who have achieved positive results.
No one knows the reason for the night walk of the hundred ghosts, not even me, it is not recorded in the funeral scriptures, and naturally I have never heard of the reason for the night walk of the hundred ghosts in the past.
But the impact it will have is very clear to me, when this group of beings who have been separated from the Three Realms gather, it will inevitably cause a phenomenon - the unison of ten thousand ghosts. Hyakki Night Walk gathers all the youkai in a certain area and wanders together.
There are two phenomena of the night walk of a hundred ghosts, one is that there is a ghost king to open the way, and the other is that there is no ghost king, only a hundred ghosts. If there were only a hundred ghosts, the situation would be relatively better, but if there was the participation of the ghost king, things would be troublesome.
