Chapter 207: Mountain Baby
I looked at him like a monster, Zhang Mu looked natural, he put away his sneering face, and continued to walk forward with a big grin.
I have to say that Zhang Mu's sentence does point out a problem that I haven't noticed.
Ever since Tang Honghui told me about this, my subconscious has been considering these missing monks in the position of victims. Zhang Mu can be said to have sounded a wake-up call for me, if what he said is true, then this trip is much more dangerous than the previous trip to Duanjia Village.
I walked silently, pondering the possibility of these two situations, and the concrete road under my feet slowly turned into a dirt road, and slowly we were out of the confines of the town.
This area is completely undeveloped, because it is too far from the city and the terrain is not good, so it does not attract any investors, so at this time. This area is still a backward scene. When I passed through a village, I saw the old mud houses.
"It's strange to build a temple in a place where this kind of bird doesn't, and it's strange to have incense, and it's a group of Asan monks, I feel a little wrong when I think about it."
Zhang Mu looked around. As he spoke.
Times have changed, and now it is no longer the era of prosperity of faith in the old days, most of the virtuous monks have gone to the famous mountains and rivers, and some of the remaining small temples have slowly declined, and there is still a temple left in this kind of place to this day. It's not just surprising, it's just a little scary.
It's true that something is not quite right with this temple, but what kind of thing is going on is still something that we have to see for ourselves to know.
We continued along the dirt road, and the weeds and shrubs on both sides of the road became more and more dense, gradually covering the path under our feet. It's like going to a temple, and it's almost time to go to the mountains and old forests to explore.
"Brother Yin, I bet with you, if there is no great secret hidden in this temple, I won't believe Zhang."
Zhang Mu picked up a stick in his hand and tossed the grass on both sides of the road in front of him, turning his head to me while opening the road.
"Bet, I'll follow."
I said with a smile.
"You, do you know what a bet is? If two people bet on two different answers, what kind of bet is it if you're like me? ”
"I also think it's not normal here, or if you give in, you bet that it's okay here?"
"Phew! If I'm betting the other way around, then why am I betting on it? ”
Zhang Mu snorted angrily and immediately stopped.
"Shhhhh
I was about to continue joking with him when he suddenly made a silent gesture to me, and he himself closed his eyes and listened. I was stunned by him, and I quickly shut up and listened quietly.
There wasn't the slightest bit of wind right now, but I could still hear the rustling of the grass not far away.
What is it? Snake? Rabbit?
When I was a child, I lived with my grandfather in Dongwangzhuang, and I remember vividly that these small animals often ran down from the mountains and strayed into the village, and this is the sound they make when they hide in the grass.
I looked curiously in the direction of the sound source, and my heart fell again, which had become a little nervous. Not to mention that Zhang Mu is a powerful celestial master, even if he is an ordinary person, as long as he has a stick in his hand, that little thing in the grass can't hurt us at all.
"Big, can you be afraid of small animals as big as you?"
I laughed and tapped him lightly on the shoulder.
Zhang Mu's body stiffened, turned his head and laughed dryly, his face was a little red.
"Oh, little thing, your Grandpa Zhang is here, come out and die quickly!"
Zhang Mu's face was a little unbearable, he deliberately shouted, and rushed over the place where the sound of the stick in his hand came from.
I smiled and watched his back pounce on the grass.
Swish!
What we didn't expect was this. A small gray-brown thing sprang out of the grass, jumped up, and jumped directly into Zhang Mu's face.
Even though Zhang Mu's reaction was not slow, he still couldn't keep up with the speed of the gadget, and as soon as the little paws of the gadget waved, three deep paw prints immediately appeared on Zhang Mu's face. He let out a cry of pain, threw away the stick in his hand, and covered the wound on his face.
That thing didn't even stop after hurting Zhang Mu, it came straight to me, and I didn't even see the appearance of that thing clearly.
"Finish the calf, this is not a small animal, I guess it is a spirit!"
I was horrified, and subconsciously stretched out my arms to block in front of me.
A sharp pain came from my forearm, and I could feel my clothes being bitten through, and two rows of sharp little teeth were tightening and trying to bite deeper.
When I looked at it, I was startled, and the one on my arm was clearly a child!
It's just that this kid is a little different in the rain. Its skin is completely bronzed and has a bit of an Aboriginal feel to it. There are a few strung leaves around his waist, and it seems that he still knows how to hide his shame. It has almost no hair on its head, only two long sparse hairs, which are yellow and appear to be malnourished. The face is sunken inward. It looked extremely ugly, but the teeth were neat and sharp, and the blood from my arm quickly soaked my clothes.
"Wang Ba calf, dare to hurt your grandfather and me! See if I don't cut you! ”
Zhang Mu's nose was deeply cut above the bridge of his nose with three long cuts, and then a little bit higher. I guess this guy is going to have to be a one-eyed dragon. Zhang Mu was furious, directly pulled out the long sword behind him, and with a diagonal wave, a sword shadow rushed towards me.
"I'm Cao! Other! ”
I was shocked, but Zhang Mu couldn't stop it.
Zhang Mu floated along with the shadow of the sword. But the child bit my arm and didn't let go, and the tip of Zhang Mu's sword slashed violently, but a spark was blown on the child's back.
The child screamed in pain, let go of my arm, and slammed into the grass. Between three jumps and two scurries. It has already climbed a big tree, and Zhang Mu has cut a long hole on its back, and blood beads are oozing out at this time. The child looked at us viciously, and I looked at it, only to realize that his two pupils were golden vertical pupils like snakes. makes people can't help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts.
"Damn, don't run!"
Zhang Mu was still angry and shouted. Swinging his sword and about to chase after him, the boy immediately turned and burrowed into the leaves, and soon disappeared.
"Damn it. It really hurts... Brother Yin, are you alright? ”
Zhang Mu couldn't help but start covering his face and scolding again, he put his sword back into the scabbard, and asked me.
I looked up my arm and saw that the bone was not broken. It's just that a lot of blood has been shed, and this skin trauma may be a very big deal on ordinary people, but for me, it's not a big problem.
I shook my head lightly and held the wound down.
"The way that thing looks. You saw that too, right? ”
Zhang Mu's face suddenly sank, and he asked.
I nodded, the child's appearance was so frightening, especially the snake-like golden eyes, I couldn't forget it.
"I ran into such a thing before I entered the temple, and I'm afraid this trip is not so easy to do."
Zhang Mu sighed.
"If it's not good, you have to do it, at least you have to go in and see what is doing it, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to Tang Honghui when the time comes."
I smiled bitterly and gently patted Zhang Mu's shoulder. Take the lead and continue walking.
Although the child was terrifying just now, it didn't seem to have much intention to attack, I guess when it was squatting in the grass before, it was just observing us curiously, and it was not until Zhang Mu rushed towards it that it was frightened and fought back.
That's why I didn't want Zhang Mu to attack it just now. The last look of this thing clearly tells us that it is holding a grudge. Now that Zhang Mu has slashed it, I don't know how this thing will retaliate against us.
To be on the safe side, I called An Yihan and Zhu Yan out, and the two girls carefully guarded my side and continued to walk along the trail.
A little further on. That's when I saw the temple in its true face.
The temple was not what I had imagined, it was just as large as an ordinary small temple, and the style was completely Chinese, and there was no such thing as the Indian style of big domed architecture. Except for a line of text engraved on the lintel that we couldn't read, there was no mark at all that could prove Ah San's identity.
"Brother Yin. Have you ever seen a carving on the lintel of a temple? ”
Zhang Mu glanced at the gate of the temple, turned his head and said to me.
I frowned and shook my head.
Although I don't know anything about Buddhism, I know that no matter how down-and-out the temple is, at least there must be a plaque hanging in front of the temple, and it is a great disrespect to the Buddha to engrave the words directly on the lintel like this.
There is a problem, there is a big problem.
I gently pulled Zhang Mu to stop him from continuing to go inside.
This place is definitely not normal, relying on me and Zhang Mu alone, maybe we can't take care of each other when we encounter danger, now that the destination has been found, it is better to go back early and discuss with Tang Feng and Yin Lianqiu before making a decision.
I raised my hand and looked at the watch, it was almost noon, and the yang energy was at its heaviest at this time. It is estimated that even if there is something in the temple, it is impossible to come out and trouble us at this time when the yang energy is at its heaviest.
Zhang Mu didn't have a good impression of this place, I pulled him back, this guy didn't say anything, but felt relieved.
Zhang Mu and I returned the same way, slowly leaving the temple far behind. Just as we were about to walk out of this meadow, we suddenly saw an old man with a cane in front of us.
It was not far from the nearest village, and it was not unusual for us to see an old man, but as we passed by him, we suddenly heard him sigh, and his mouth was still muttering:
"Two more died..."
