Chapter 24: Out of the Mountain
All these things that the sixth master said are things that I have never heard of.
To me, these are like the myths of the Arabian Nights, not only shocking, but also indescribably false..... Not a real feeling!
"I don't dare to say anything else, as far as our mainland is concerned, there are at least two ancient ruins hidden in Shennongjia, one near Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, and one near Hukou Waterfall in the Yellow River." The sixth master smiled, and seemed to be quite excited when he talked about this, and his eyes lit up a lot: "Those two ancient ruins have been monitored, and it is those government personnel from the outside world who are staring at those two ruins to death." ”
"What about Shennongjia?" I asked cautiously.
"It was also discovered by those officials, but they couldn't find the specific location." The sixth master shook his head: "There are other things guarding that place, and the miasma and poisonous mist are particularly powerful, the yin and yang qi that you people in the industry call can't be separated there at all, they are all mixed together, and no magic is used." ”
As soon as the words fell, the sixth master laughed twice, and his expression was very gloating.
"There are many people who want to find the ancient ruins of Shennongjia, but the only ones who can really see the ancient ruins are me and the master, this time I will take you over, and you can also open your eyes."
The sixth master didn't tell me too much about that ancient ruin, not because he wanted to hide it from me on purpose, but because he was deliberately selling it to hang my appetite.
To be honest, I hadn't heard anything about what he said from anyone else in the outside world, and I didn't even know there were any of them......
Situ is the official I have come into contact with with with the highest identity and the hardest background, Chen Qiuyan and his grandfather don't count here, because they haven't dealt with too much, it doesn't make sense for him to come in.
I had never heard of such ancient ruins in Situ's mouth.
Chen Qiuyan can also be regarded as an insider, and he knows a lot of state secrets, but about these relics...... She didn't mention it either!
Whether they know these things or not, I can't say for sure, but even if they do, there is a high probability that they will be asked to keep it secret.
Chen Qiuyan's relationship with me naturally doesn't need to be said, if she knew these things, she would have told me as a gossip story, I guess she really didn't know, but it was more difficult for Situ to say.
"By the way, Sixth Master, let's go to Hubei this time, right?" I asked, "Do you need someone else to follow?" ”
"No, you don't." The sixth master waved his hand: "Let's go secretly, so as not to be followed, if we can be low-key, try to keep a low profile." ”
"Keeping a low profile...... Can't you bring a knife? I asked tentatively: "That thing is a bit troublesome, especially my Miao knife specifications are too much exceeded, and it is troublesome to get on the plane and train!" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll go find the car, let's go on the national highway." The sixth master smiled.
I have to say that the sixth master is different from the ghost of Xiangjiang, even if he is in such a secluded and independent place, he still understands the common sense of the outside world very thoroughly.
The night before departure, the sixth master also deliberately showed me a few words, saying that he had already found a car, which was the most ordinary kind of bread, which was definitely low-key.
In fact, I'm a little puzzled, this old-timer has been risking in the mountains all the time, and even if there is a phone, there can't be a signal, how does he get in touch with the outside world?
I asked him this question, but the answer he gave me was vague, saying that there were messengers in the mountains, and that they should just take the words out.
If you think about it, what are the remaining living creatures in the mountains besides us...... If it's not an animal, it should be those deformed children, could it be that the messenger that the sixth master said is them?
In the early morning of the day of departure, the Xiangjiang ghost rarely walked out of his bedroom.
He has been in the bedroom for the past two days, and I don't know what he is doing, I guess it has something to do with the injury, because I found that he has changed a lot in the past two days, whether it is his face or breath, it is much stronger than the previous days.
Especially the face, looking at the red light, it is like taking tonic medicine to make up for it, and it looks like it is scary to say.
At the time of parting, Xiangjiang ghost also specially instructed me a few words, and the tone was very rare and cordial, just like the relatives and elders at home sending away the juniors, I could feel that he was very worried about me.
"The deepest part of Shennongjia is no better than the outside world, follow the sixth man when you enter the mountain, everything is under his command, don't think that you are not afraid of anything if you have a physical body Gu to protect it, the danger in that place is not what you can imagine."
"Don't worry, Master Xiang, I will definitely be careful!" I laughed.
When he sent me out of the mountain with the sixth master, the words of the Xiangjiang ghost were obviously more than some time ago, which shows that he was really worried about us.
"I don't know how much potential you can tap into yourself, but no matter what, you have to remember four words and do what you can."
"Understood!"
"Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, you should be smart, don't learn from those insatiable wastes, be careful not to kill yourself, it's almost enough."
Xiangjiang ghost said these words very politely, but I knew that he was for my good.
Some things are not as simple as I thought, even if I can figure it out now and control my desire for certain powers, but when the time comes, I make a decision that I shouldn't have made, and it will be no different from looking for death.
When we went to the shore to bid farewell to us, in addition to the Xiangjiang ghosts, there were also Beigong and a few familiar faces following us.
The three brothers of the mountain family, the big head, and the monster like Xiaoshanbao, and the ugly boy we met when we first went up the mountain.
The Wen Chou and Wu Chou, who had done something with me not long ago, were among them, but they stood farther away, just standing at the edge of the woods, looking at us from a distance.
To be honest, I'm also quite worried about Beigong's safety, after all, Wen Chou and Wu Chou have a holiday with it, if I don't fight with them again, Beigong may have to suffer.
However, it is unlikely that this situation will occur, Wen Chou Wu Chou They also have an old ancestor on top of them, the old man has a good impression of me, it is estimated that Wen Chou Wu Chou has a conflict with Beigong again, he will also come forward to mediate.
"There are people watching Shennongjia all the time, we have to be careful."
The sixth master propped up the boat, slowly rowing in the Xiangjiang River, speaking of this, there was an unconcealable excitement in his eyes.
"Looks like you're pretty happy?" I asked.
"We can't move, and there is no need to move, there is no direct conflict of interest with us, but I heard people outside say that the old religion is also eyeing the ancient ruins over there in Shennongjia." The sixth master said, hehewei laughed: "In the past few years, they were quite low-key, and they were relatively secretive, so we didn't care, but I heard that they sent people into Shennongjia last week." ”
"Okay." I also laughed and nodded: "If they are still there when we arrive in Shennongjia, then even if we are lucky, we will bury them on the spot." ”
The sixth master snorted, and propped the boat up the Xiangjiang River, his eyes full of excitement.
The golden snub-nosed monkey lying on his back also seemed to feel the excitement of the sixth master, and squeaked.
Walking up the hill we left and up along the Xiangjiang River, the mountains and forests on both sides gradually became sparse, and the scenery I could see was not as natural as what I had seen before.
It seems that the breath of life is not so thick, and the place where the ghosts of Xiangjiang live should be regarded as a blessed land......
Many of the black creatures visible to the naked eye were walking underwater, a few of them were humanoid, nine times out of ten were the water monkeys we saw last time, and the others...... Most of it is fish.
They swim underwater all the time, and they don't have the intention of showing their heads.
It wasn't until our boat went up nearly three miles, as if it was about to go out of the boundary of the Xiangjiang ghost and their lives, that those underwater creatures showed up one after another.
Those are all different species of fish.
Catfish, carp, grass carp....... In fact, they are quite common in ordinary people's lives, but their body size is a little larger, and the smallest one weighs nearly 100 pounds, like a small submarine!
He jumped out of the water with a bang, and then fell back into the water, and quickly dived to the bottom of the river, never to show a trace.
"They're saying goodbye to us." The sixth master smiled: "These are all spirit animals that want to become essences, but they don't have any great skills, when I come back this time, I will take you to meet those monsters." ”
"Monsters?" I asked with great interest, "Is it a fine fish?" ”
"Yes, it's not an ordinary essence."
As he spoke, the sixth master showed a mysterious smile.
"Those monsters are the most ruthless horns in this hundred miles of rivers, the lord calls them water spirits, and they call themselves the chief of water (zhang) ......."
