Chapter 79: Mountain Spirits
The ghost salamander mentioned in the article, whether it is the shape of the picture or the description of the habits, is exactly the same as this one attached to Yang Siqi.
It's just that Lin Chu couldn't figure it out, how could the ghost salamander live in the deep mountains and streams, how could it run to the land?
The article also said that within three hours after the death of the ghost salamander, the corpse will produce a large amount of hallucinogenic toxins, so it must be boiled with realgar and rice wine until the corpse turns white and the yin qi dissipates.
Lin Chu immediately told Yan Cunhua how to dispose of the corpse.
Yan Cunhua immediately arranged for someone to go down to deal with it.
"Siqi! You're finally awake! β
Yan Xi's excited shouts came from the bedside.
Yang Siqi had already woken up at this time and opened her eyes.
She couldn't remember what had just happened.
I only felt a burning pain all over my body.
Then he saw that his hands were covered with blood-red whip marks, and he asked in a panic, "ThisβWho beat me like this?" β
Tian Li said: "Girl, what is it to suffer a little, but you have picked up your life back." β
Here, Yan Cunhua walked in front of Lin Chu and sincerely expressed his gratitude: "Young Master Lin, thanks to you, I saved Miss Yang's life." β
At this time, several strong men with dung forks carried a cage into the courtyard.
The villagers in the courtyard gave way one after another.
A young man rushed into the room and shouted excitedly: "Patriarch! Caught! Caught! The beast that killed the sacrifice was caught by us! β
Yan Cunhua heard this and walked outside the house.
Lin Chu, Hu Lai, and Ah Guang also hurriedly followed.
In an iron cage in the middle of the courtyard was a fierce beast, the size of a child of seven or eight years old, covered with black hair, blood-red eyes, sharp fangs turned out, and extremely sharp claws. Like a monkey is not a monkey, like an ape is not an ape.
The villagers were talking about what kind of beast this was, and how they had never seen it.
When Hu Lai went out to see it, he exclaimed: "! What the hell is this? β
Lin Chu hadn't seen it either, but in the same way, like the ghost salamander, he felt the aura of evil in this beast that was locked in a cage.
It seems that this is probably another mountain spirit.
The guy who came to report just now continued to report to Yan Cunhua at this time: "This beast has very great strength and runs very fast, but fortunately it was caught in our beast trap and besieged by more than a dozen of us with forks, so we finally caught it." In this way, we also injured several people. β
Yan Cunhua sighed: "It seems that it really is." β
Lin Chu immediately asked, "Patriarch, do you know what kind of monster it is?" β
Yan Cunhua nodded: "This is a mandrill, I was a soldier in southern Yunnan for a few years when I was young, and I was stationed at the border of the deep mountains and old forests all the year round, and I heard the local villagers talk about it and saw this kind of monster with my own eyes." It is very ferocious, feeding on the hearts of large creatures, and humans are also one of its prey. β
Then he sighed: "I didn't expect that in our Yan Village, there would be mandrills. Luckily, this mandrill is not very large and looks like it is still underage, otherwise we would not have been able to subdue it with a dozen more people. β
Mandrill, Lin Chu had heard of its great name.
It has appeared in the supernatural for several times, almost second only to the female ghost in red.
Especially the countryside is weird, if you haven't met a mandrill, you're embarrassed to say that you're the protagonist.
But Lin Chu never figured out what kind of creature this was.
He immediately re-searched for the answer in the headline article of the Encyclopedia of Mountain Spirits.
Mandrills, primates in the deep mountains and ghosts, and give birth to half-beasts and half-ghosts.
If a female ape/monkey/baboon passes through a shady place in the mountains or accidentally eats the corpse of a victim in the mountains in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is infected with resentful yin qi and eventually gives birth to mandrills.
Mandrills are brutal, extremely vindictive, and love to eat their hearts, killing their mothers at birth and eating their hearts raw.
It is most afraid of peach wood, and the oil gum spilled by the peach tree is also the best thing to deal with it.
After Lin Chu finished reading this article, he couldn't help but sigh.
Behind all the mountain spirits and monsters, there seems to be an unlucky guy who died in the mountains.
The salamander eats the corpse of the victim and turns into a terrible ghost salamander.
Pregnant female apes/monkeys/baboons passing by places infected by the grievances of the victims, drinking water infected by the grievances of the victims, will give birth to mandrills that are half beasts and half ghosts.
In the final analysis, the cause of all these mountain spirits and wild monsters is related to the human beings, the spirits of all things.
Lin Chu was about to tell Yan Cunhua how to deal with mandrills.
Yan Cunhua had already instructed his subordinates to fetch the good diamond charcoal, cut off the fresh peach wood branches, and burn the mandrill together.
It seems that he has learned the correct way to deal with it with the local villagers in the mountains of southern Yunnan, where mandrills are often infested.
After the mandrill is caught, it is absolutely impossible to relent.
This kind of brutal beast can even eat its own mother when it is born, and can it still be expected to remember its kindness?
Not only does the mandrill not remember gratitude, but also holds grudges.
Once the tiger is released and returned to the mountain, the end is often the death of the whole family.
Therefore, after catching the mandrill, it must be burned with diamond charcoal, accompanied by fresh peach wood.
Although this mandrill was taken to the river to deal with it, a terrible scream could still be heard above this Yan Mansion.
At that time, in addition to the mandrill, there should have been other spirits that killed the sacrifices.
They eat their eyeballs.
So Lin Chu took advantage of this time to look for it in that headline article.
In the process of searching, he saw the introduction of the female water ghost he had met underwater during the day.
Jellyfish, the spirit of the woman who was immersed in the pig cage in ancient times, often appeared in the rivers and lakes in the mountains. Its hair is like aquatic grass, it has no legs, and its tail is slender like a snake, and the tip of the tail is that of a boy or girl, which is used to lure living people on the shore into the water.
This name reminded Lin Chu of another creature in the sea.
Keep looking below.
Lin Chu finally found the kind of mountain spirit that specializes in eating eyeballs-the flying locust snake.
Looking at the name, Lin Chu was almost certain that this was a flying snake.
Sure enough, its illustrated illustration book is a fierce monster with a locust's head, locust's front legs, locust wings, and a snake's long and narrow body.
This is a kind of monster in the countryside, because its appearance is so terrifying, it gathers the body of the most terrifying reptilian snake, and the big head of the pterocarpan insect......
In fact, locust snakes generally do not actively attack large animals such as humans, but only attack small animals such as birds, fish, and poultry, and eat their eyeballs after biting them to death. Because they are very small.
Although the article is so introduced.
But today, a large number of mountain and wild spirits all appeared in Yan Village, and Lin Chu suspected that there must be some reason behind this.
Therefore, just in case, this flying locust snake must be destroyed.
According to the article, flying locust snakes are extremely difficult to catch because they can fly, crawl, sneak in water, and are extremely fast, and they are generally eliminated by traps.
Lin Chu immediately explained the situation to Yan Cunhua.
Yan Cunhua expressed strong support.
Soon the trap was ready, and in a large copper basin, there were dozens of pairs of carp eyes.
The earthy smell of carp was extremely strong, and Lin Chu and the others hid behind the rockery, and they all smelled a gust of fishy wind.
Therefore, it is an excellent item to lure flying locust snakes.
About ten minutes later, there was a buzzing sound in the sky.
More than two dozen flying locust snakes rushed down from the night sky and rushed into the basin to grab food.
Hu at the back of the rockery saw the right time, pulled the rope in his hand, buckled the lid, and directly locked all the flying locust snakes in the shed.
Ah Guang hurriedly took a few young men from the village and stepped forward to move the copper basin to the charcoal fire that had been prepared a long time ago.
Soon there was a sizzling, popping sound from inside.
Lin Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the mountain and wild spirits that were known to have entered the village had finally been eliminated.
But at this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from the courtyard next door.
Lin Chu, Hu Lai, and Ah Guang hurried over.
Yan Cunhua and the rest of the villagers had already arrived first.
The good-looking girl said in a panic: "There are ghosts in the thatched house, in the thatched house!" β
Tian Li turned to Yan Cunhua and said, "Old Yan, I just told you that there are ghosts in the thatched house at home, and you still don't believe it, now you should believe that I didn't tell a lie, right?" β
