Chapter 14: The Ghost Strikes the Wall

Because Wen Na, Xu Youyou and I were in a hurry to leave this ghost place, and then put on a wet cloth to cover my mouth and nose, it was a little difficult to breathe, and it was impossible to carefully observe the surrounding situation, so I could only follow the footsteps and keep walking, but I didn't know how long I walked, and I still didn't see the shadow of the previous camp, plus my feet hurt my heart, so I had to stop and rest.

Among the three people, except for Xu Youyou and the same person who had nothing to do, Wen Na was also a little out of breath, stopped and covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and observed back and forth with the other hand, looking at her eyes that suddenly opened bigger than a cow, and exclaimed: "Not good!" ”

I was stunned: "What are you talking about?" ”

Xu Youyou looked at her puzzled.

"Look closely!"

"Tell me what's going on!"

Wen Na nervously pointed to the footprints on the ground, but Xu Youyou showed a confused look, squatting on the ground to watch. At this moment, I also noticed that something was wrong, not the footprints of Wen Na's finger, but the fact that I found a pair of torn white socks on a stone and a large snake that was cut in two not far away!

This, isn't this where we are poisoned? How did you not leave! I was amazed.

"You found out?"

"Yes."

"What the hell are you two talking about?"

Wen Na and I both saw the problem and understood that we had been going round and round. But Xu Youyou still didn't see anything, he rubbed his exploding golden retriever vigorously, and looked at me pitifully.

"Hey, you said that you know how to do it as a girl, why don't you know how to use your brain?" I sighed lightly, shook my head helplessly, and grabbed her two golden retrievers and said, "Look at it, look at it, a good girl's family, don't have to think that her hair will be golden." ”

"You hate it!" Xu Youyou opened my hand.

I don't know when our relationship was so good that even Wen Na, who had a serious face, couldn't help but laugh. But for a moment, her expression became solemn again, and she complained: "Don't make trouble, we have to think quickly." ”

Xu Youyou still asked persistently: "No, what is the matter?" ”

"We met a ghost hitting the wall." Wen Na was very sure, her answer gave people a feeling of not being surprised, and then Wen Na popularized the knowledge of "ghosts hitting the wall" for us from the perspective of traditional culture to scientific explanation.

According to Wen Na, the so-called ghost hitting the wall has always been interpreted in many ways. Some people say that some resentful ghosts have blinded passers-by and made passers-by unable to distinguish their directions. This kind of ghost hitting the wall is usually not too dangerous, just calm down and stay for a while. But there are exceptions, some ghosts are too angry, can trap people alive in it, this kind of ghost hitting the wall can generally be broken as long as there is black dog blood or child urine; Some people also say that most of the ghosts and walls in the mountains are the so-called mountain spirits and wild monsters in the mountains. It is a kind of enchantment released by the goblins who have cultivated to a certain level in order to protect their own safety and the tranquility of the place where they practice. This kind of ghost hitting the wall has similarities with the Taoist Bagua Array, although it may be more complicated, but unless the trapped person has a deep grudge against the caster, and will set up something in the enchantment, it will not be too dangerous, that is, trapping people in it and not being able to get out. This kind of ghost hitting the wall has a so-called array eye, which is the key point in layman's terms, and as long as you find it and destroy it, there is no problem. But even if there is no danger, being trapped for a long time can kill someone. Of course, there is a more scientific explanation, that is, when encountering a ghost hitting the wall, it is actually the trapped person's self-perception that is blurred and unable to distinguish the direction, so it will spin in place. That is, the essence of biological motion is circular motion. If the target is lost, the instinctive movement of any living creature is a circular motion, and the solution given by the scientific community is nothing more than the following: concentrate, don't panic, keep your eyes open, ask someone if you get lost, use a flashlight to walk at night, and identify the direction according to the position of the North Star.

This last point, we obviously don't have, because we can't see the Big Dipper during the day, and we can't wait until night. And I had a watch with me, and I did think about using it to tell the bearing, but one of the prerequisites for this was that there was a sun. If there is a sun, you can put a match-like strip on the analogue watch so that the shadow cast by the sun coincides with the hour hand, and the angle between it and the 12 o'clock scale is the north in the middle and the south in the other side. But the sky in front of me is overcast, how can there be any sunshine? So this trick doesn't work either; As for using black dog blood or child urine, it is not realistic at all. First of all, we don't have ready-made black dog blood in our hands, even if there is, the three of us don't dare to hurt the dog to take blood, after all, we haven't even killed a chicken or a fish, how can we hurt the dog, this may be the reason why the dog slaughterers think that useless is a scholar, right? And the boy's urine, among the three of them, I met the congenital conditions, but the problem is that the objective conditions are not met, after such a long time, we have moistened our lips with the dew dripping from the mountain tooth earlier, and the dripping water and rice have not been stained, where to get the boy's urine? Even if there is, in front of two girls......

Hey, hard to speak, hard to say! What's more, this trick is more useful to deal with the "ghost hitting the wall" of the resentful ghosts, if it is an enchantment set by the mountain spirits and wild monsters, the power is much weaker. Therefore, the only thing we can do in front of us, and the safest is to find the array eye, but in this barren mountain range, we don't have much knowledge of survival in the wild, so how easy is it to find the so-called "array eye"?

Wen Na looked around carefully, and the frowning appearance of the moth made me look in a daze. Just as I was in reverie, Xu Youyou didn't have the eyesight to block the white and tender hands in front of me and swayed back and forth: "Are you okay?" Wen Na was also attracted by Xu Youyou's movements, and looked at me.

In order to avoid embarrassment, I hurriedly turned my head to look at the footprints on the ground, and the result really made me discover some mysteries: "Hey, there is something wrong with this footprint." ”

"What do you see?" Xu Youyou asked again with a puzzled face, and then checked the footprints with me.

At this time, Wen Na also squatted down, covering her mouth and nose while observing carefully, and after a while, her brows stretched and said, "So that's the case." ”

"No, what do you see again?" Xu Youyou asked anxiously.

Looking at her appearance, I couldn't bear it anymore and planned to sit down and talk to her, but thinking that it was better to squat on the poisonous mushroom, I leaned down and pointed to the footprints of the three of us and said, "Look, are these footprints stepped on by the three of us?" ”

"Uh-huh." Xu Youyou nodded.

"If you look closely, it doesn't seem that the footprints are exactly the three of us."

Xu Youyou lowered his head and looked, and sure enough, among the footprints of the three of us, there seemed to be footprints of other animals, but they were relatively small and shallow, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it. Looking at it, Xu Youyou seemed to have found a few yellow hairs, picked them up and looked left and right.

"Hey, do you still have time to look at your hair?" I asked helplessly.

Xu Youyou glanced at me and said angrily: "Nonsense." Which is my hair? If you take a closer look, what kind of animal hair is this? As he spoke, he brought the yellow hairs to me and Wen Na.

I couldn't tell what it was, but Venna seemed to be knowledgeable and glanced at it and said, "Weasel hair." ”

"Weasels?" Xu Youyou and I asked in unison.

"Well, it looks like we're blinded by weasels. You see, this hair is exactly the same as the tip of the wolf's brush. Wen Na took the golden retriever in Xu Youyou's hand, pointed to the small footprints and said, "As long as the weasel footprints in here are erased, I think it will be no problem." ”

Listening to Wen Na's speech, Xu Youyou and I only nodded, and I had to admire Wen Na's academic performance was so good, she was even stronger than Du Niang. So we went as planned, destroying footprints as we went. To say that it is to destroy is to draw a horizontal line with your foot on the footprints in front of you with every step you take, and so we walked and rowed and walked, and it didn't take long for us to come out. Suddenly, the three of them jumped up excitedly and happily, Xu Youyou first hugged me and Wen Na respectively, and then I also hugged Wen Na, but only in an instant, both of them felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly separated, but our faces were still embarrassed to burn, and we looked away from each other, not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, Xu Youyou suddenly spoke: "Alas? Look, there's a guy sitting over there? As she spoke, she pointed to a stone at a fork in the road ahead.

Following Xu Youyou's fingers, sure enough, there was a huge red stone not far in front of us, dividing the road in two. One points to the mountain, and the other continues onwards. And there was actually a person sitting on the boulder, a little distance from us, my glasses were broken before, and I wanted to walk forward because I was a little unclear about people, but I was pulled by Wen Na.

Still frowning, she whispered to me, "This person is a little strange. ”

"Are you thinking too much?" I replied quietly.

But we forgot that there is a god and her second Xu Youyou, as long as this eldest sister doesn't see it, she will be able to stab the sky out, and there is very little time to cry like she did before. While I was discussing with Wen Na, the eldest sister actually stepped forward with a big grin. By the time Wen Na and I found out, it was too late, she had already walked in front of the man, and Wen Na and I had no choice but to walk a few quick steps to follow.

When I got closer, I took a closer look at the man sitting on the rock, and he was dressed a little strangely.

Although it is relatively cold in the mountains and forests, after all, it is okay to wear a slightly thicker long-sleeved dress in midsummer, but this person is wearing a fight with the "big thief" Ouyang Tianzuo in "Three Heroes Sword", he wears a dogskin hat, a yellow suede jacket on his upper body, a pair of yellow bloomers on his legs, and a pair of yellow leather boots on his feet.

This person's appearance is also incomparable. He is not tall, he can even be described as a sting, the big pointed head is the same as the loophole, the yellow eyebrows are drooping, the yellow eyes are grunting around and can't say how shrewd, a little upside nose, the goatee on the mouth is also as golden as the eyebrows, and he is smoking a long cigarette pouch in his mouth. He saw the three of us approaching, looked up and looked up as if he didn't notice us, and then twitched again.

Wen Na and Xu Youyou and I looked at each other, not knowing whether I should ask the person in front of me abruptly. At this time, Xu Youyou showed her characteristics like a light in the night, stepped forward and asked with a smile: "This uncle, may I ask where we want to go to Baofeng Temple?" ”

When the strange man heard Xu Youyou call him, he was also stunned: "Are you talking to me?" "It's incredible.

"Yes. Except for the three of us, isn't that you? The three of us just got lost, so I'd like to ask you which way to go to Hoho-ji Temple? Xu Youyou was noncommittal, afraid that he would not hear clearly and repeat it again.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Xu Youyou's answer, the man squatted on the stone, grabbed the cigarette pouch in his hand, and said excitedly and nervously: "You answer me a question first!" ”
