Chapter 38: Reunion

However, before I could figure it out, I heard a loud bang of gold and iron on the bank of the river, and the river shook my ears buzzing, and then the river was agitated, obviously a person fell into the water, I subconsciously wanted to run, but remembering that the little demon was still surrounded by enemies, I gritted my teeth and swam towards the man who fell into the water, although I didn't have a weapon in my hand, but I would strangle him with these hands alone!

I had just swam a few meters when I heard someone on the shore yelling, "Don't do it, it's us!" ”

Fat man's voice!

I was overjoyed, and immediately poked my head out of the river, and saw the fat man standing on the shore with a sapper shovel, and in front of him was the thin monkey of the guide who was tied up sturdily, and the one who was struggling in the river was Ji Gang, who had been separated from us for a long time!

Seeing me peeking out of the river, the fat man waved his hand to me excitedly: "Old Tang, you're not dead!" ”

I looked at the fat man with a wry smile, but before I could speak, the little demon holding the steel knife said viciously: "Dead fat man, what is your father's name?" ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then jumped to his feet directly: "Su Xiaoyou, are you sick?" You don't know what my old man's name is! ”

I pulled the hair of the landlubber Ji Gang and crawled out of the river wet, coughing while waving my hand and saying with a wry smile: "It's okay, this must be a fat man, as long as he doesn't have a tone of four or six, no one in the world can imitate it." ”

The fat man also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong at this time, and frowned and said, "Old Tang, what do you mean?" What did you encounter? ”

Ji Gang lay on the edge of the river bank and vomited the dark green river water, I sat on the river bank and gasped for breath, and I almost suffocated me for more than a minute under the surface of the water.

The little demon threw the steel knife at my feet at random, turned around and went to change clothes near the luggage, just now she drilled a strange fish belly, the clothes were almost soaked with blood, looking slimy, I felt sorry for her.

I didn't feel well, but I really didn't have a change of clothes, so I had to take off my coat and pants and dry them outside, and walk around the river in my shorts while telling me and the little demon what happened in the cave.

After listening to this, the fat man patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Tang, you are really fateful, you were stung by a murderous bee, bitten by a spider, and fell into this monkey's nest, and even picked up a cheap life, what a fucking scourge is a thousand years." ”

"Fucking and poor mouth, why are you tying up this child? Did he recruit you? "I knocked off the fat hand on my shoulder, and I felt a little uncomfortable looking at the skinny monkey's blinking little eyes.

"Kid? Hehe, Old Tang, you kid also has a time to look away, let me tell you, this grandson has to have four or five lives in his hands, to say the least! If it weren't for Lao Ji's ability to press the bottom of the box, we would have to die in the hands of this turtle grandson. The fat man slapped the back of the thin monkey's head and said with a sneer, and before he finished speaking, he kicked the thin monkey to the ground, and the latter sighed in pain, but did not refute it.

I was amazed that such a thin child could have human life on his hands? What kind of international joke is this?

The fat man cleared his throat and said slowly: "First of all, I have to tell you one thing, Lao Ji is not an internal ghost, he buried the killer bee, and this turtle grandson asked him to bury it." ”

I looked at Ji Gang in surprise, I didn't know what to say, the taciturn Ji Gang nodded, and said honestly: "After running away with you, I met a thin monkey, and he told me that there are 'bullet snakes' nearby, so that these snakes are stained with death, and the only thing that can cure these snakes is their own bees, but he didn't tell me that their own bees are actually killer bees." ”

"Shadow Snake?" I feel a little familiar, as if I've heard this name somewhere.

The fat man explained to me: "It's the stuff in the dog's belly, this kid said that it was a strange snake, with two heads, one big and one small, and it walked with its head bouncing, and as long as it jumped on the shadow of a person, it could suck up people's yang energy, and people would not live for more than three days." ”

The more I listened, the more confused I became, and said to the fat man, "But why did he harm us? We have no grievances in the past and no enemies in the near future, and we don't have a few dollars on us, right? ”

The fat man found a clean stone and sat down, and said, "This is a very tortuous story, we still have some time now, you can listen to me slowly." ”

Ji Gang looked at the thin monkey, I sat down next to the fat man, he took out a cigarette from his arms and threw it to me, and then told me a weird and frightening story.

Pheasant Tomb, there is indeed such a place, to be precise, the Pheasant Tomb is not only a bamboo sea, there is indeed a thousand-year-old tomb in the middle of the bamboo sea, but the bamboo sea is really weird, and the people who go in have become masked flies, and this tomb only exists in people's word of mouth.

But five years ago, a group of tomb robbers actually entered the tomb!

They seem to be very familiar with the thousand-year-old tomb in the pheasant tomb and are determined to get it, before and after spending seven years for this tomb, a group of people lived in Bailongyu for two years alone, in these two years they mingled with the villagers of Bailongyu as members of the scientific expedition, and after being thoroughly acquainted, they paid for it and hired the villagers to do things for them.

What the villagers do is as simple as digging holes!

Since they can't find the tomb in the bamboo forest, they start digging directly outside the bamboo forest, and dig until they reach the middle of the bamboo forest, and they can't believe that they can't touch the edge of this big tomb!

The old people in Bailongyu tried their best to stop it, and a legend was passed down when their ancestors were there, there is a monster in the pheasant grave that can turn people into stone, and it is said that those who can't get out of the pheasant grave are turned into stone by a mysterious force.

Although the old man respected the pheasant grave like a god, the young people in Bailongyu disdained it, the young man was just strong, and the tomb robbers were extremely generous, so the young men in the village at that time almost all organized themselves and dug holes for them.

This digging took more than seven months, although it took a lot of detours, but in the end they really let them dig through, in a dark and windy night, this group of tomb robbers sneaked into the pheasant grave, what they experienced in it no one knows, but after three or four days, there was a violent explosion in the pheasant grave, and the hole that was dug out with great effort was collapsed, and the group of tomb robbers were buried alive below.

Although this explosion brought a lot of panic to the people in the village, it was all strangers who died, and it did not prevent them from living, but slowly, something happened to the people in the village.

One by one, the young people who participated in the digging became a little insane, irritable, extremely irritable, fond of eating raw meat, afraid of fire, acting like wild beasts, the hair on their bodies became longer and longer, and their language and IQ were degrading rapidly!

Finally, within two months, the twenty-four young people had become outright monsters who didn't recognize their six relatives.

Others call them "savages".

The old man said that the so-called scientific expedition personnel had angered the evil spirits in the pheasant grave, so they sent a disaster to bury them alive in the pheasant grave, and these twenty-four young men were also accomplices, but for the sake of their face as not the mastermind, they did not harm their lives, but only made them crazy.

At that time, the families of these twenty-four young people tried many ways to heal them, but there was no cure at all, and finally one night, these twenty-four young people disappeared into the village at the same time, no one knew where they went, no one knew how they left, these twenty-four people seemed to suddenly evaporate from the world.

After a long time, the old man who was digging medicine in the deep mountains said that he had seen them in the depths of the mountain after the Qing Killing, and these twenty-four young offspring had completely become wild men, walking like flying between the mountains and forests, and occasionally roaring like thunder, but these twenty-four wild men never harmed the local residents, but only protected this mountain in their own way to prevent the invasion of outsiders.

Now that I think about it, the wild man that the little demon encountered is very likely to be one of the twenty-four wild men.

But I still don't understand, what does this weird saga have to do with what happened to us? Why does the fat man say that the skinny monkey will be the murderer?

I told the fat man my doubts, and the fat flicked the cigarette ash, and said with a heavy face: "Don't worry, listen to me, didn't there be a big explosion in the pheasant grave back then, and buried the group of tomb robbers in the tomb, and the cave was also destroyed, but the cave leading to the pheasant grave was not one, but two, and one was the robbery hole that the tomb robbers secretly dug along the cave, and the explosion collapsed the first road, but the second one remained, the skin monkey, the bullet snake and the sabertooth fish, They all escaped from the pheasant grave, and along with this monster, there were many ...... Ancient artifacts! ”

I gasped and hurriedly asked, "Don't play dumb riddles for me, I know that your father was an antique dealer for a period of time before making a fortune, which dynasty you explained to me!" ”

The fat man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What's the point of me still hiding it from you at this time?" But I'm not sure about it, listening to the words of this turtle grandson, there are Ming Dynasty, Han Dynasty, and even Western Zhou Dynasty! ”

I touched my chin and guessed, "Could it be that the people in Bailongyu are killing people for these dark weapons?" ”

The fat man stood up and moved his fat body, shook his head and said, "You can't guess that these artifacts were brought out by these leather monkeys, and they can actually do business with the residents of Bailongyu!" Exchange the life of the dead! As long as they lead a person into this valley, they can exchange it for a spiritual weapon! Because of this dirty deal, no less than ten people have died in this poor country over the years! The four of us almost became lonely ghosts. ”

I looked at the skinny monkey lying on the ground, as if a bunch of words were stuck in my throat, but I couldn't spit out a word.

"You're generally right, but there's one thing wrong, the group of tomb robbers back then, in fact, didn't die, one of them crawled out alive, and he has been living incognito all these years, and he ...... It's all around us! The little demon said casually while wiping his wet hair.

I was cold like falling into an ice cave, and according to the logic of this matter, there is no doubt that the person who ran out must be me, why is this ending? So many people have died directly or indirectly because of me!
