That's right, it's a slope, and there's a black hole down there, and I don't know what the situation is. I frowned and looked down, took two steps down, and felt that it was gloomy.

No, I remember when we came in, there was a flat ground in front of the gate of Ziqiong Pavilion, how could there be a slope?

I walked down slowly, and I saw the fluorescent dots in front of me, which I am all too familiar with, this thing can be seen everywhere in the summer around our countryside! That's some green ghost fire!

It's just that this is Kyoto, how can there be a ghost fire on the side of this big road! Fortunately, when I was a child, I didn't walk at night, and I was already immune to this thing, as long as I didn't think about it, I wouldn't be too scared to go.

However, as I walked a little further, I found that the ghost fires seemed to have moved, and the palm-sized, green, eerie ghost fires jumped back and forth in the darkness of the roadside as if they were living creatures. At the same time, it seems to be accompanied by a burst of crying!

In the middle of the night, seeing the ghost fire was already nerve-wracking, and when I heard the terrible and terrible cry, I suddenly became nervous and stopped.

I held my breath and half-crouched on the ground to look at the ghost fires, and at that moment, I saw a beast with a green light coming down from its body, crawling out of the darkness, as if it was preying on the ghost fires! The reason why those ghost fires are bouncing back and forth is because they are dodging this thing!

I saw that the beast had a bird's head, with pointed feathers, and two blood-red eyes, and a long, sharp beak, which when it stretched out, it took a piece of ghostly fire in its mouth, and swallowed it as soon as it raised its head. And the body of this thing, like a big lizard, looks really strange.

Such a strange scene surprised me, and my mind quickly seemed to be like a movie, and I couldn't help but think of a picture album-like book and periodical that I turned out of the old box at home when I was twenty, and it seemed to record this thing in front of me.

"The mound beast, this is a ghost beast of the Yin Division, with a bird's head and a body, a red eye and an iron beak, and a hidden winged belly. Eating corpse gas, hindering people. Non-cultivators are not allowed to see it, but if they are disturbed, they can spit on their faces and drive them away. ”

This passage echoed in my mind without warning, and I had no memory of who had told me it. But I have the impression that there is indeed this content!

Just when I was wondering if there was something wrong with my brain, I saw that the monster was actually attracted to me and came towards me.

The speed of this mound beast is very fast, and I remember what I just said. What this thing likes the most is the fresh corpse qi, which is what the ghost fire carried on it.

It's just that if you don't have enough corpse qi, then this kind of beast also knows how to create corpse qi by itself! As for the manufacturing method, turning the living into the dead is the most convenient way.

I realized that this guy had absolutely no kindness to me, and he just ran away. However, despite the fact that the perched mound beast is not large, it can run much slower than a human run. I ran fast, but I couldn't shake it off completely.

I don't know if I got rid of it completely, and all of a sudden, I heard a pop, this guy grew two wings out of thin air from the inside of his belly, and I remembered the phrase 'hidden wings in the belly', which is what it means!

When the beast grew wings, it became more and more arrogant, and flew directly at me, and the head was about to attack me with its sharp beak, and I remembered the introduction in the text just now.

The so-called 'can spit on its face' is probably consistent with the allusion of Song Dingbo catching ghosts with saliva in "Sou Shen Ji".

After figuring it out, I gritted my teeth, slammed my nose, and saved a mouthful of thick old phlegm, and opened my mouth directly at this beast.

The sticky thing flew out and stuck to the feathers on the side of the guy's face, and at this time, I actually smelled a burnt smell, and my saliva was almost like sulfuric acid to it!

Soon, I saw the beast fluttering, and all at once it was gone. This can be regarded as a sigh of relief, and when I turned around slowly, a heart that had finally settled down almost jumped out of my chest directly!

I saw a swarthy guy spinning in circles in the direction I was heading forward. It was no more than two feet tall, skinny, and foul-smelling. If he didn't move, I thought he was a monkey!

But looking at the way he walked back and forth, he did carry his hands behind his back and leaned forward, like a little old man. He also wears a black, pointy paper hat on his head, which looks funny and a little creepy.

For some reason, another passage began to pop up in my head.

"The black tree is less than two feet long and weighs more than 100 catties. Sexual cruelty, it is cold and thin, and it is turned into death. He likes possessions, eats human flesh, crawls on all fours, and is faster than a horse. There is no escape. The weak can be bribed, or they can be surrendered by Taoism. ”

To put it bluntly, this kind of monster called the black tree is the illusion of the yin spirits of those old men who were born with yin damage and meanness and harmed others and themselves. This kind of thing, maintaining the greedy and murderous character of his life, it is best not to run when encountered, or to submit with the Dao method, or to find a way to give some benefits.

This passage had just flashed through my mind, and the guy actually found me, and I was startled and quickly took a half step back. But I remembered that I couldn't run when I saw this guy.

This guy is 'crawling on all fours, faster than a horse', and it's impossible for me to compete with him, so the only thing I can do now is stand still and hope this guy doesn't see me.

However, my wish was soon frustrated, and I saw that the guy quickly wanted me to crawl over, and very quickly, and in an instant he was already in front of me.

I was startled, but fortunately, I still had the talisman that Tang Yue had left for me before!

I quickly reached into my pocket, in order to escape, I tried to travel as lightly as possible, and many things were stuffed into my pocket, but at this moment, when my life was at stake, I only touched a bag full of miscellaneous items, and I didn't touch the charm!

I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely, and I saw that the black black tree was about to open its mouth to bite me, and I finally felt a piece of paper, and suddenly pulled it out, only to find that it was not a charm at all!

However, although this thing was not a charm, it still attracted the attention of the black tree, and I saw the black tree looking at the thing in my hand, and both black eyes were shining.
