In his eyes, under the cyan fluff, a twisted and hideous face appeared, and the facial features on that face were like shrunken orange peels, and the dry folds were piled up together, forming a layer of spider web-like face.

After a few glances, I felt numb all over, and immediately removed the flashlight and looked at its body, but all I could see was the strange scars, and all I could see was a ridiculously long layer of body hair.

Seeing this, I don't know how to describe the monster I saw in front of me, he has the size of a human, but his habits are like a beast.

The thin body and the amazing explosive power just now made me feel incredible, as if there was a powerful physical energy hidden in its body, which was enough to support it to survive without eating food.

Looking up and down, its skin is like the bark cocoon of an old tree, intricately wrapping around its whole body.

When I withdrew my gaze, Dongfang opened his mouth to explain to me the origin of this monster.

In the folk, especially in the mountains, there are often ghost legends, and the most representative is the mountain ghost, as the saying goes; Don't go up the mountain after dark, and hide people in the middle of the night.

The monsters that live in the mountains will appear in the dark of night after cultivating a certain amount of strength, hiding people in the cliffs, beside the streams, and in tree hollows.

And those who are hidden by ghosts are mountain ghosts, and the folk call this kind of death a ghost, some say that the ghost is looking for a substitute, and some say that the ghost sucks people's oxygen to help them practice.

But what Dongfang told me was very different, he said that this kind of person is because he has been abandoned since he was a child, and he has taken a lonely grave in the mountains as his home, so he is infected with death, and over time, he will become a person who does not look like a human ghost or a ghost.

Ancient warlocks had a saying called splitting the soul, which means that they recognize ghosts as relatives and give them a part of their souls, and they will be taken care of by the ghosts, just like being adopted by ghosts.

People have the meaning of blood transmission, which is the saying of elders and descendants, and the ghost wants to recognize relatives, that is, to replace flesh and blood with souls.

But after losing their souls, these mountain ghosts will never return to the crowd, and they will have to live like that for the rest of their lives, competing for time in the night like the beasts in the mountains.

Later, people tried to deal with them, and asked the warlocks to draw various kinds of faces on their faces to expel or intimidate the mountain ghosts.

The technique of changing the face of Sichuan Opera also has a similar origin, and has left many ghost legends, and various yin soldiers also appear in the face, which means to escort those mountain ghosts to hell for punishment.

Later, this form was also transformed again and again in history, and before the formation of the current perfect technique, a method for inviting ghosts and fairies was also derived.

The division of the three princesses, with the Si Ming Shenjun, the Si Shou Shenjun, and the Si Fu Shenjun are the most talkative, which means to ask for the blessing of the gods and bless the world, and in this form to convey a kind of worship to the gods in people's hearts.

Listening to Dongfang's statement, I felt a chill in myself, if I excluded the idea of ghosts, they might have been regarded as monsters by outsiders only because they carried some kind of virus.

Think about it, abandoned in the mountains since childhood, accompanied by a deserted grave in the lonely wilderness, that terrible cry, what kind of person will it grow into?

Compared to the previous ghost legends, there are many fewer nowadays, perhaps because the times have changed.

"I didn't expect that there are still these!" After retracting his gaze, Dongfang was also a little afraid, I knew what he was afraid of, but I didn't ask much more.

Whether it's true or not, we don't want to think about it, because that cold feeling, through the empty gaze and the strange cry, has disappeared.

Looking around again, the hole here was dug by these guys, but look at its claws, although they are very sharp, they can't be used to dig stones.

Dongfang had the same idea as I did, but we didn't have time to figure this out, because since there were mountain ghosts here, it meant that this might be their lair, and we had to get out of here.

At this time, Liu Ran also rushed back, and after seeing the mountain ghost on the ground, he asked us a few words, Dongfang pointed to the stone wall outside, and told her what we had found.

Walking to the entrance of the cave, Liu Ran looked up and saw that there were indeed a few scratches on the stone wall, and the mountain ghost should have come down from above.

I suspect that the mountain ghost used to live outside because of the wounds on its body, and since it is different from the graveyard here, it probably won't go to the tomb to find food, so it can only find food when it goes out.

If the mountain ghost can climb out of the crack, we should be able to do the same, but I also think that if we follow the mountain ghost where it came from, will we encounter other or many other mountain ghosts.

I was a little depressed when I thought about it, but then Liu Ran brought us another piece of good news, she said that she had found an exit, and there was a clear wind flowing there.

When I heard the news, I suddenly felt refreshed and was about to get up and leave.

But Liu Ran was not in a hurry, but asked Dongfang to take out Kun Tiandou and take a look at our current situation.

As if to determine something, she stared at Kun Tiandou in Dongfang's hand, the pointers on it were constantly moving, and the way of movement was that three of the pointers were moving towards the other three.

Eventually, the six hands were completely stacked into three, dividing the disc into three equal parts.

Looking at the pointer above, I looked up and asked Dongfang, "What does this mean?" ”

Dongfang stared at those pointers, and his expression was also surprised, even he didn't know what was going on in this situation?!

"It seems that the other three directions have disappeared, and the three pointers of heaven, east, and west are stacked on top of each other in a backward manner!" Dongfang said this, and slowly changed the orientation of the wooden body.

But the pointers were nailed to them, and they lost their ability to recognize their bearings.

"I guess it's a place where it's out of control of the magnetic field!" Liu Ran came to such a sentence coldly, which made us all look at her with questioning eyes.

Liu Ran didn't explain anything, just said that it was her guess, and told us not to touch the things here and leave this place as soon as possible.

Seeing that she was so anxious, I glanced back at the stone balls and mountain ghosts, and finally I could only shake my head, forget it, no matter how curious I am about the stone, it is not as important as saving my life, and I will have the opportunity to come back to get it later.

Once we had settled down, we prepared to leave here and continue crawling along the crack. This time it was Liu Ran who walked in front, and she was also exploring the way just now, so she should know very well what is here.

After we climbed for a while, Liu Ran asked us to stop and rest first, and she climbed forward by herself for a distance, and after a while she came back to call us, and said, "It's not far away, I feel the wind, it's just ahead." ”

We answered, knowing that the exit was close at hand, and we all quickened our pace, so we really wanted to grow a pair of wings on our bodies and fly out of such a dark place in the fastest way.

But it often backfired, this last part of the journey was much longer than expected, we walked for another half an hour, and we didn't feel any wind, but unconsciously, the breathing became much smoother.

Along the crack, I didn't dare to look down, and I didn't have time to look down, the flashlight was always anxious to shine upward, for fear that I would miss something.

But after climbing for so long, she didn't see the way out that Liu Ran said, and she didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, as if she was still far from where she said.

Counting the time she had just left, we should have arrived at the place she was talking about.

I finally couldn't help it, picked up my speed, came to Dongfang's side, and asked Liu Ran loudly, "How long is it until you arrive?" ”

Liu Ran turned around, shining a flashlight at us, and hid behind the light, "Soon, it's almost here, a few meters away!" ”

I narrowed my eyes, feeling like I was saying something perfunctory, "You just left, did you go to that place?" ”

"No, I just looked to see if there were any other mountain ghosts nearby!"

I sighed, and just as Liu Ran was about to turn around and continue to climb forward, Dongfang suddenly said, "Maybe it's time for us to climb up, I think what Kun Tiandou refers to is a way out, and there is only one direction in which luck flows here, and that is to constantly impact outward." This is also exactly our way out, if the pointer on Kun Tiandou refers to the up, east, and west, we can follow the direction of the pointer! ”

After Liu Ran heard this, he didn't answer, and after a while, he moved the flashlight away, and added a sentence in his mouth, "Maybe, but we should find the tuyere first, and then climb up!" ”

I don't know whether to trust their analysis or not, because I don't know their expertise.

Fortunately, there was no conflict between the two, so we continued to climb forward, but from this time on, the east would make some marks on the stone wall from time to time.

I was very skeptical of his approach, and said that you don't have the heart to make a mark in the tomb, so that we can get lost, and in this place where there is only one direction, there is a use for making a mark.

But after all, I didn't stop it, but looked curiously at the marks he had made, only to find that what Dongfang had carved with a dagger was actually a mask.

His sword skills are very good, he carves well in wood, and he is also comfortable in stone, but after a few glances, I realized that there was still an expression on that face.

It's like a face that changes in Sichuan opera, looking at it like that, I began to wonder, isn't there something left in that weird mask on this Dongfang Mo?

Thinking so in my heart, I didn't pay attention to what Liu Ran said, but focused all my attention on Dongfang.

He walked very fast and seemed to be in a hurry to get out of here, so I had time behind him to see his carved face.

The expressions on those faces are changing, one is different from the other, but the difference is just expression.

I don't know if this change is heralding us, or if it's the environment.

I looked at more than a dozen faces in a row, but I didn't see that the expressions of those two were the same, it was just that it was constantly changing, not to the crack in front of us, so single.

In fact, I also have my own thoughts on these faces, which may be used in the East to keep count, indicating how long or how far we have walked.

However, there is no duplication of Facebook, which means that the number has not exceeded nine, but it has been continuing, which also shows that this is not a number.

But I want to see, how many different expressions does he have?

Quickening my pace, I pretended to be casual and struck Dongfang with the flashlight in the face, his expression was calm, completely different from the face he carved into the stone wall.

It's not a description of his mood, it's not a calculation of time or length, which is a little strange.

He blocked my flashlight with his hand and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

I looked at the face he had just carved and asked, "What are you doing?" In such a hurry to go out, how can there be time to carve these on the stone! ”

At this time, I also subconsciously clenched the dagger, ready to attack myself if he had any abnormal movements.

However, Dongfang thought about it, suddenly became happy, and waved his hand at me, "Don't think about it, I don't have any problems, it's just ...... to engrave these."

Before he finished his words, he heard Liu Ran's surprised voice in the distance.

"Found it, come here!"
