I frowned and looked at Danto.

Dan Tuo rubbed the cigarette in his hand with his thumb and forefinger, sank his breath, and then said: "The Savage Mountain is full of wild Gu, there are ground Gu in the land, there are wood Gu on the trees and grass, and there are aquatic Gu in the water, we have been in the mountain for so long, even if we deliberately avoid the Gu nest, it will not be impossible for a wild Gu to be invisible." ”

At this time, Boss Jiang came out of the tree shed and echoed: "It's really not normal." ”

Dan Tuo seemed to have sealed all his thoughts in a small world, and he didn't notice Boss Jiang's words at all, but kept saying: "The wild people of the Luohe Circle have bred in this place for I don't know how many generations, they know how to avoid wild Gu, and ordinary wild Gu will not deliberately harm them, and a very subtle symbiotic relationship has always been maintained between the two. But those savages who were disemboweled, all had wormholes drilled out of the wild Gu on their necks, to say that only one wild man was killed by the Gu beast, that is reasonable, but there are so many corpses on the mountain, and each one of them has exactly the same death......

As he spoke, Danto fell into complete contemplation, he stopped speaking, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

After listening to what he said, I also felt more and more that something was wrong in the forest, from the time I entered the mountain to the present, let alone the wild Gu, I had not even heard a single insect song, and the whole mountain forest was so quiet that people panicked, only the faint sound of the wind and the rustle of weeds swaying could be heard.

Boss Wen, who was standing next to Dan Tuo, spoke: "Those savages seem to be ...... All have something else? ”

What he said was foggy, and Boss Jiang asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Boss Wen frowned and said, "I always feel that there seem to be two lives on the savage. Alas, it should not be said either. Didn't I use the mourning bell to control a few savage corpses before, but when I injected mental power into them, I always felt that there seemed to be a life in their corpses, and it was this anger that blocked my mental power and made me struggle a lot when performing the spell. ”

Boss Jiang folded his arms and said thoughtfully, "Savage corpse...... If it is a corpse, why is there still anger in the body? ”

Boss Wen shook his head: "I don't know how to explain it, I just feel that there seems to be something in the bodies of those wild people." Lao Jiang, you say, those savages won't be planted with Gu, right? ”

Boss Jiang: "Probably not, if they have Gu planted on them, I should be able to feel it." ”

Several people present were frowning, and everyone could sense that there was an anomaly in the forest, but no one could tell what caused the anomaly.

Half an hour later, Jin Xiangqian and Boss Yu came back with a few fish, and I heard Boss Yu say that the water in the river they went to was very stable, and after being washed by the heavy rain, the water did not rise, which was very strange.

When Boss Yu said this, Dan Tuo was also present, and when he listened to Boss Yu, he frowned, kept his eyes on the ground, and didn't say a word.

I felt that Danto's appearance was a little weird, but it didn't break it on the spot.

After a long journey of more than 20 hours, everyone was tired, and after eating a hot grilled fish, Li Huaishan's upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and he almost fell asleep by the fire.

I asked everyone to go to rest first, and at night we kept vigil in shifts as usual, and Dan Tuo and I kept the first shift.

Since the time of eating, Dan Tuo has been preoccupied, without saying a word, seeing that everyone else is lying in the tree shed, I think he should speak, but he seems to have made up his mind not to say anything, I waited for a long time, but what he waited for was still his long silence.

As the night darkened, the rest of the team snored as the crescent moon slowly moved to the central sky, occasionally hearing the soft sound of water droplets slipping from the shed.

Dantuo added a few sticks of firewood to the fire, because the firewood was watery, there was a slight sizzling sound after the fire, and when the water was evaporated, it slowly burned.

I turned my face sideways and cast a glance at Danto, only to see that Danto was also looking up at me.

I smiled politely at him, took out the cigarette pack, handed it to him, he waved his hand to signal not to smoke, and then slowly got up and moved to my side.

"Little Second Master, have you ever been to Savage Mountain before?" When he came, he pressed his body as far as he could against me, and asked in a very low voice.

I shook my head: "First time." ”

Dan Tuo first said "oh", and then said with a puzzled face: "Actually, I haven't been able to figure it out, there are so many old people with superb skills in China, why did Bao Youyou choose you?" Oh, I'm not disgusted with you, I just think ...... You're young, and at least in terms of experience, you're still a little bit behind the old guys in the industry. ”

I smiled: "The people of Jisoul Village have always been confusing in their work, and I don't know what Bao Yong thinks. ”

"Well, too." Dan Tuo nodded first, and then whispered: "Little Second Master, where did you hear about the Immortal Gu?" ”

I couldn't help frowning: "Didn't I say it before, some time ago, there were some rumors related to Immortal Gu in Mangshi. ”

Danto: "But who spread such rumors?" ”

"I don't know."

Danto hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "I can probably guess who it is." ”

I couldn't help but be shocked by his words: "Who? ”

Dan Tuo lowered his voice, and it took me a lot of effort to hear his words: "When I entered the mountain ten years ago, I met a wandering Taoist who claimed to be an immortal in the stone, and the reason why he entered the Savage Mountain at that time was to find the Immortal Gu, I originally wanted to go with him, but this person's body method was extremely weird, I only followed a hundred and ten meters, and he disappeared out of thin air under my nose. Later, I couldn't fight the evil ghosts, and I couldn't borrow the sea cloud lantern, so I could only leave the mountain in a huff, but I met this Taoist at the foot of the mountain. ”

I stared into Danto's eyes and asked, "Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier?" ”

Dantuo looked a little embarrassed: "I can see that you don't trust me." I don't blame you for this, I know what people in the industry think of us who are head-lowerers. Hey, actually, when I first met you, I didn't have much confidence in your ability, to be honest. In the past, I have also been in the domestic industry circle, and I have seen many children of the clan who are famous in the family, these people, most of them are golden, you let them catch a lonely ghost It's okay, if they really encounter something dangerous, they will be cowardly like something. When I first entered the mountain, I thought, don't look at your calm and relaxed appearance on the surface, maybe this heart is much more nervous than us old guys, as long as you encounter trouble in the mountains, you must have to smear the soles of your feet, and slip faster than anyone else. Don't mind if I say this, in fact, now I can see that the apprentices taught by the second master himself are indeed different from the children of other clans. ”

No wonder from the beginning of entering the mountain, I always felt that Dan Tuo was always a little secretive, and from time to time he stared at me and Li Huaishan and smiled evilly, at first I always thought that he might have a connection with Buzhou Mountain, but I didn't expect that he thought so in his heart.

It seems that Li Huaishan and I still haven't practiced this kung fu.

But even though Danto said that, I still didn't dare to fully trust him.

At this time, Dan Tuo said: "When I saw the Immortal in the Stone for the second time, he once said that the Immortal Gu had become a real evil thing, the immortal body was gone, only an evil qi remained, such a thing was useless to him, so it was okay not to take it." In addition, he also predicted that if the Immortal Gu was left alone, ten years later, the Savage Mountain would be harmed, and now, it was the ten-year period of the Stone Immortal's prophecy. ”

I didn't know how to distinguish between the true and the false of what Dan Tuo said, so I just frowned and said, "If you want to say that, that Daoist back then should have found the Immortal Gu?" Since he had such great ability, and he knew that the Immortal Gu would come out to make trouble in ten years, why didn't he find a way to suppress the Immortal Gu? ”

Dan Tuo shook his head sullenly: "I can't tell, but I think that Shi Zhongxian doesn't look like a decent person, but he doesn't look like an evil way, alas, that guy talks and does things very strangely, and people can't figure out their heads everywhere, and I don't know what he thinks." ”

I said, "Senior, do you mean that the rumors over there in Mangshi were spread by this Taoist who calls himself Shi Zhongxian?" ”

Dan Tuo nodded: "It should be him, speaking of which, in fact, before I met him, I didn't know what immortal Gu was still pressing in the Savage Mountain, I only knew that there were a large number of Gu nests in the mountain." I pondered, ten years ago, this Immortal in the Stone was probably the only one who knew that the Immortal Gu was hiding in Savage Mountain. ”

I asked him, "Have you told Boss Wen about these things?" ”

Dantuo shook his head: "I didn't tell them, I didn't think that I couldn't go deep into the mountains this time, I guess I would go back after a walk around the three circles, if I didn't think you could be reliable, I wouldn't have said these things until now." ”

"Why?"

"Hey, isn't it all those in the sect. When my master was still alive, he said that the reason why people of our lineage want to keep an eye on the Gu nest in the mountains is also because of a secret from many years ago...... I'm sorry, but I can't tell outsiders about these secrets, it's not a good thing anyway. If we go into the inner mountain, you find some more ...... What shouldn't be discovered, I also bothered the little second master to help me keep it secret. ”

He said this in a vague way, but I roughly understood what he meant, and he just wanted to say that because their vein buried some unsightly secrets in the inner mountain, deep down in his heart, he didn't want us to enter the inner mountain.

I asked Dan Tuo, "Senior, is it possible that the abnormalities that appear in the mountains and forests today are also related to Immortal Gu?" ”

Danto nodded, "I was about to say this." I guess that the wild Gu in the mountains, as well as the wild people in the Luohe Circle, have all been affected by the Immortal Gu, as for what kind of influence, it is not clear for the time being. ”
