Chapter 8: Mandrill Infested
Izumiko approached step by step, and I retreated step by step.
I don't want to get involved in a fight between Izumi and the dirty.
I didn't know if it was a human or a ghost, but I could see the silhouette of a humanoid.
Now, it's up to Brother Quanzi to see what that thing is.
"Third Master, Young Master Yan, is a dead man."
Soon, Izumiko had already walked over there, and turned back with him, his face gloomy and terrifying.
Hearing his words, I was immediately shocked: "Brother Quanzi, you say, you said it was a dead man?" ”
Izumiko nodded, with a serious expression: "That's right, I took a look just now, this person should be the nearby patrolman, but he has been dead for two or three days, but he should have just been here." ”
I felt a thump in my heart.
Izumiko didn't say it explicitly, but I already understood.
Izumi's meaning is that it is not a human who moves this corpse, but a ghost.
So, I just called that, and I was not wrong.
It's just that it's daytime, can ghosts come out? Doesn't it mean that imps can't do evil in the daytime?
"This place should not stay for a long time, at the foot of this mountain, are all forests, there are no villages, now we can only go up the mountain, the surrounding mountains are shrouded in fog, now Hainan is the hottest time, no matter how much water vapor should evaporate into clouds in the sky,"
"And now our location is not at the top of the mountain, but at the bottom of the mountain, this place is evil, be careful."
From the departure to the mountain, the third uncle, who had always been calm and composed, had a serious expression.
"Third uncle, can you see any fame?"
I asked, turning my head sideways.
The third uncle shook his head: "Third uncle, I am not touching the golden captain, I don't understand feng shui, I can only say that this mist is not dead and yin, because when we breathe, there is no discomfort." ”
I nodded, indeed, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion.
In this world, tomb robbers are divided into four major sects, touching the golden school captain, the general of the hair hill, the unloading force and the mountain movers.
According to the place of origin, it is divided into the southern and northern factions.
Among them, Captain Touching Jin and General Faqiu Zhonglang are the two factions that know Feng Shui the most among the four major tomb robbery sects.
The third uncle told me that the ancestors of our Lin family did not start by robbing tombs, but by the ability to catch ghosts.
Therefore, whether our Lin family is a ghost that has just been taken out of the ground or a treasure dug up by chance, we are willing to accept it and dare to accept it, and because of this, our Lin family's antique business will become bigger and bigger.
Since we started by catching ghosts, Maoshan Taoism is what every child of the Lin family must learn.
However, with the changing times, this tradition passed down from generation to generation has changed.
When my grandfather was in his generation, it was said that the children of the Lin family should no longer be exposed to this industry in the future.
Catching ghosts and subjugating demons, not to mention the danger, will be remembered by the underworld, and you will suffer after death.
Therefore, in my generation, our Lin family has not been exposed to related things anymore.
Only I, who had a bad life, accidentally caught the road and was haunted by water ghosts, so I learned these things.
I also learned about these things after carefully flipping through the Maoshan rune scroll.
Although I don't know Feng Shui, I also know that the current anomaly must have been touched by some mechanism to manifest itself.
"Third uncle, do you think it will be the technique of Qimen Dunjia?"
I asked tentatively.
"It's hard to say, if we don't make a trip, we don't know why."
The third uncle was silent for a moment before answering me.
Anyway, we still have to go up the mountain.
Now that the fog is closing the mountain, it is simply not realistic to find a living person to show us the way.
The only thing I can rely on is the tourist map I bought before entering the mountain.
We made our way up the hill and were surrounded by thick fog that could only be illuminated by flashlights.
Even mobile phones have lost their signal here, and they are of no use at all.
As for the patrolman who died just now, we just ignored him.
Although the fog here was not caused by dirt, the patrol officer died strangely, and the yang energy all over his body was sucked dry.
It's not dirty, it's a goblin doing evil, otherwise a living person can't die like this.
As the old saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.
Suddenly, I felt in my ears that someone was angry at me, and it was still hot.
"Brother Quanzi, what are you doing, you pervert, I won't mess with you."
When I went up the mountain, the third uncle took the lead, behind Brother Quanzi's palace, among me, I subconsciously thought that Brother Quanzi was playing ghosts.
"Young Master Yan, what are you talking about? Even if you don't like me, you can't throw a stone and hit me in the leg. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Geng Quan immediately said that I hit him in the leg.
Hey, it's a thief shouting to catch a thief, I haven't touched it at all.
"I said Brother Quanzi, you are not authentic, obviously you are angry with me first, okay?"
I immediately said that I would go back, but I didn't expect Brother Quanzi, a dignified retired soldier, to be such a scoundrel.
As soon as I finished speaking, the third uncle who walked in front of me said to me helplessly: "Yan'er, how old you are, don't lie on your stomach on the third uncle." ”
Hearing the words of the third uncle, I finally knew what was going on.
Ghost!
There's a ghost near us, and it's teasing the three of us just now.
The cold sweat on my face immediately flowed out, my face turned white, and I looked at Brother Quanzi behind me.
Izumiko probably saw that something was wrong, and her face turned pale.
I followed his line of sight, and obediently, there was really a humanoid creature lying behind the third uncle.
But I'm sure it's not a human at all, somewhere with a tail.
And since my direction was sideways, I saw the side face of the thing.
I'll go, this thing is the same as a monkey, but it's a black monkey, with a mouth full of fangs, and it's opening its mouth, ready to bite the third uncle.
I didn't know where I got the courage at the time, so I shouted directly: "Third uncle, be careful, it's not me behind you!" ”
As soon as I said this, I saw the black monkey baring its teeth towards me, and his expression was very hideous.
The next moment, it abandoned the third uncle and jumped towards me.
It was extremely fast, not at all the speed of a monkey, and it was in front of me in a matter of seconds.
God is pitiful, although I have learned the Maoshan technique, but it is not at the point where I can do it.
In addition, I didn't have any weapons in my hands, so I could only stretch up my arms and block in front of me, stimulated by the desire to survive.
"Evil animals, mandrills, our well water does not interfere with river water, why is this so?"
However, the third uncle seemed to recognize what this thing was, and shouted the word mandrill.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the third uncle standing in front of me with a peachwood sword in his hand.
And on the opposite side of the third uncle, there was the black monkey, grinning and looking at the third uncle.
I looked carefully, and the monkey's eyes were blood-red for a while and clear for a while, probably because he was not very conscious.
At this time, Izumiko also stood next to me, holding a modified crossbow in his hand, which was as lethal as a sniper rifle.
It was a full minute before the black monkey turned and jumped up the tree and ran away.
The third uncle wiped the sweat from his head and yelled: "Run, run, what are you doing in a daze?" Run! ”
Izumi and I don't know why, but our group is headed by the third uncle, who is our soul leader, and when the third uncle speaks, we immediately run away.
