Super Ghost Merchant 252 Qingzhu as a demon?
"Uh... Then you two look at it! ”
Xu Li stuck out her tongue and tossed her sleeping bag, she said in her heart that she was really scared stupid by these bamboo rat corpses or something, otherwise, how could she ask so many idiotic questions.
Yuebai and the fat man looked at each other and smiled, took off their backpacks, and after they scratched a large pile of branches and leaves around them, they poured fuel on them and lit a bonfire.
After the three of them had used the bonfire to bake some dry food and drink some water, the two men and a woman began to discuss the strange things they had seen along the way since they had reached the Cloud Piercing Mountain.
The first thing the three of them talked about was the centuries-old mountain road.
When the topic started here, Xu Li said that she still thought that the mountain road was a special road for ancient craftsmen when they were working in the mountains and transporting things.
Of course, in the opinion of this mountain road, the Moon King and the two have no objections.
After all, Xu Li's statement is probably the closest to the real speculation, and in their opinion, the wider mountain road seems to be the only one that can explain it.
After the questions about the mountain path were finished, the three of them began to discuss the Luohan bamboo on this mountain and the stone holes where the Luohan bamboo grows.
These things are obviously artificial, and even if these bamboos are natural plants that grow on their own, the stone holes that grow bamboo should always be artificially drilled.
But if these stone holes are really drilled by man, then what is the purpose of the people who made these stone holes? Could it be that in ancient times, people already had the awareness of protecting the environment by reclaiming mountains or planting trees on barren mountains?
And on this point, Xu Li also gave some of her own understanding and opinions.
According to Xu Damei, in ancient times, there were indeed incidents of planting trees on barren mountains, but at that time, the planting was planted by some rich people to plant plants such as trees and bamboos on the mountains behind their homes, and the purpose of those people was nothing more than to show that they were rich and powerful, and the meaning of wealth and nobility.
"But this is not the back mountain of anyone's house, and there are no villages and towns nearby, so what is the purpose of spending so much effort to grow bamboo here?"
After listening to Xu Li's opinion, Yuebai asked, his eyes were full of confusion and confusion.
"Then I don't know!"
Xu Li smiled bitterly and said: "The view in Taoism is that Luohan bamboo has the effect of warding off evil spirits and driving away demons, and I think that the bamboo in this mountain should be to block some evil spirits!" In ancient times, people close to the mountains didn't think that there were demons in the mountains, maybe these bamboos were planted here to seal the demons and ward off monsters. ”
"Seal the monster and block the monster? That's right, seal the monster and block the monster! ”
Yuebai seemed to think of something after hearing this, and only after he looked around at the darkness around him did he mutter, "Could it be that these bamboos are to block that thing?" ”
"What's that?"
The fat man inquired as he lit a cigarette, and he carried the bonfire with his waist knife to make it burn a little stronger.
"the bamboo rat to death!"
Yuebai frowned and explained: "The bamboo rats on this ground are all killed by broken neck bones, this situation is definitely not that the bamboo rats are killing each other, I guess there are some monsters on this mountain, that's why someone made so much effort to plant these bamboos in the first place." ”
"There is a demon on the mountain, so you should also plant bamboo under the mountain!"
The fat man rolled his eyes and said, "Don't forget, there is no bamboo in the lower half of this mountain, there are only ordinary wild fruit trees below, if there is a demon on this mountain, then it should also be drilled there to plant bamboo." ”
"What if that youkai isn't on this mountain!"
Yuebai did not give up his guess because of the fat man's rebuttal, but he said more confidently: "It must be so, that monster lives in the east of Chuanyun Mountain, and planting bamboo on this mountain can just block the way out of the monster, if I guess correctly, the valley on the north and south sides of this Chuanyun Mountain is also full of Luohan bamboo." ”
"But these bamboos didn't stop that monster!"
The fat man continued: "If these bamboos really have the effect of warding off evil spirits and demons, then why are there bamboo rats whose necks are broken?" ”
"That's because the way of the monster is stronger now than when these bamboos were planted."
Without waiting for Yuebai to answer the fat man's question, Xu Li on the side took the lead in answering: "These bamboos have been growing for at least sixty or seventy years, and after so many years, this Luohan bamboo may not be able to stop the increasing demonic things." ”
"Eun, I think so too!"
Yuebai nodded and said: "I think, after that monster is powerful, I am not afraid of these bamboos, in recent days, after that monster found that Luohan bamboo can't stop itself, it is ready to go out of the mountain to harm people, and the dead bamboo rat here is probably also its masterpiece!" ”
"That's right, that's the logic!"
Xu Li also looked around, and immediately, she said carefully: "It seems that this mountain is really not as safe as I thought, we all have to be vigilant tonight, and don't desert when you two take turns to keep vigil!" ”
"Well, don't worry!"
As soon as they heard this, the two Moon Kings didn't realize that the word 'you two' in Xu Da Beauty's words was more prominent.
And when the latter yawned at this moment and said, 'I'll go to rest first,' the fat man reacted and cried out depressedly, "You don't change shifts with us to keep vigil!" ”
Xu Li seemed to hear the fat man's depression, but she still pretended to be tired and didn't hear anything and got into the sleeping bag.
"Forget it, let's just work hard!"
Yuebai smiled bitterly, and after stretching his waist, he said to the fat man: "Eh, you stand on the first shift, and the shift changes every two hours!" ”
"Cut, you eccentric thing knows how to protect your horse!"
Although the fat man's mouth was complaining, but there was no dissatisfaction in his heart, as if the fat man at this time was a rare aristocratic gentleman among the children of a rich family, of course, if the fat man did not complain in his mouth, I am afraid he would be more like a gentleman.
The three sleeping bags prepared by the three of them in advance were hung on several Arhat bamboos one meter away from the campfire.
After Xu Li sprayed some insect repellent water around her sleeping bag, she got into it directly with her clothes on, and Yuebai also got into her sleeping bag according to the prescription.
The two seemed to subconsciously say goodnight to each other before the closing eyes, but this bedtime phrase was not big or small, but it made the fat man half angry.
When the fat man in front of the campfire heard this sound, he couldn't help but despise the two people in the sleeping bag who only showed their heads, and the former even scolded in his heart for showing affection and sharing quickly or something.
A day of climbing the mountain was indeed tiring, so not long after the prospective two entered the sleeping bag, a slight snoring sounded from the nostrils of the two of them.
At this time, the fat man was still sitting in front of the campfire and hooked the branches and leaves that were close to him into the fire, and he began to look around and think crankily when he was a little bored without speaking.
This person, the most afraid is loneliness, when no one speaks, or a quiet atmosphere around a person's body, then the person's brain will subconsciously appear what they are most afraid of.
