"Brother Tian, if you said that red-haired monkey is really that mandrill ghost, how should we deal with it?"

I briefly told Lin Zi and Lao Shibi about the mandrill ghost, and according to the appearance I described and the memory of Lao Shibi, they agreed that the red-haired monkey who blocked the way in the sacred forest more than ten years ago was the mandrill ghost, so Lin Zi took the lead in asking me how to deal with the mandrill ghost!

"The mandrill ghost is indeed very vindictive, but none of us have seen it with our own eyes, and we don't know what it is capable of. So when the time comes, if you encounter it, you can only see the move! ”

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't think of any good way to deal with the mandrill ghost except for those rumors in the market, so I told them the truth to the forest.

"That red-haired monkey shouldn't be that powerful, right? The old man drove him away with sticks! ”

Erma Wusu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly opened her mouth at this time, and looking at her appearance, she didn't seem to believe that the mandrill ghost was as powerful as I said.

"If I'm not mistaken, when Lao Shibi and they met the mandrill ghost more than ten years ago, they didn't anger him! So at that time, the mandrill ghosts just wanted to play some pranks to tease Lao Shibi and them; If you are really provoked, it is far from that simple! ”

Although what Erma Wusu said is reasonable, if you think about it carefully, the mandrill ghost is actually not simple at all! After all, if you trace it back by chronology, the name of this mandrill ghost can be traced back to ancient times!

I remember a sentence mentioned in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Classic of the Sea": "There is a Gan giant in the south, with a human face and long arms, a black body with hair, and a heel, laughing when he sees people, covering his face, so he can flee." ”

This sentence is the place where the mandrill ghost first appeared, and the general meaning of it is similar to the mandrill ghost I met before that the man who bought tofu I thought of before, indicating that the mandrill ghost can hide its body shape and change its body at will.

And when the name of the mountain mandrill ghost really appeared, it was in the Jin Dynasty Ge Hong's book "Hug Puzi Dengshi", which recorded: "The mountain spirit is shaped like a child, with one foot backwards, and the night is happy to be a prisoner, and the name is Xiao." ”

Therefore, if the old Shibi and the ghosts they met were really mandrills, it can only mean that they were lucky at the beginning, and they did not provoke them, but were just teased; Otherwise, there is a high chance that we will not see Lao Shibi when we come to Heishui Village.

After all this talking, the night was already deep; Lin Zi and Hu Yifei and I sneaked out of the door and ran to the outside of the stone house to find some hay, and then spread it on the ground, preparing to spend the night like this tonight.

After Lao Shibi came here, he talked less; It seems that he came back here after a gap of more than ten years, which evokes a lot of memories for him, and I see him leaning against the wall and pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, but in fact, I can see that he is thinking a lot.

As for Ke Muji and the other two young men from Heishui Village, they regarded Labazi as their own life-saving straw and clinged to him, as if they were afraid that a monster would suddenly come out and eat themselves?

On the contrary, Erma was unveinous, and although she had been on the road for a day, she did not feel a trace of sleepiness at all; Approaching Lin Zi and shouting for Lin Zi to tell her some archaeological stories we have experienced, Lin Zi was embarrassed for a while, and Ke Muji, who was sitting opposite, was depressed.

"This girl seems to have a little bit of interest in the woods!"

Hu Yifei spread the hay he brought back beside me, then sat down next to me, and said to me with his eyes in the direction where Lin Zi and Erma Wusu were.

"It's a little, but you have to come on, Zhuqing is still waiting for you in Miao Village!"

I looked at Erma Wusu's eyes with gold stars, and I knew that this girl was afraid that her heart was budding; I remembered the bamboo green in the ancient clan of Xiangxi, why didn't the original bamboo green look at Hu Yifei like this?

"Hey, you kid, it's so boring, why did you talk about Lin Zi on my head!"

After Hu Yifei listened to my words, a trace of loneliness flashed on his face, as if he had something on his mind? However, he quickly adjusted back and said something to me with a smile.

"By the way, let's see what hints we got for the bronze branch we got in that cave today?"

I also knew that Hu Yifei probably had a lot of sad things hidden in his heart, so he no longer stayed on this topic, but remembered the bronze stump he got when he saw the glass crystal coffin today, and was ready to investigate its secret.

"Well, it seems that there is indeed a big secret hidden here, we have to study it carefully!"

Hu Yifei nodded at me in agreement, and at the same time, he also noticed that this seemingly ordinary small piece of bronze stump seemed to hide a secret that no one knew, and he was very curious to see me take out the bronze branch and bronze plate.

I placed the bronze plate on the ground, and then slowly approached the bronze plate with the bronze stump I got today; We didn't pay much attention to the changes in the bronze stumps and bronze disks before, so we don't know what kind of changes have occurred between them to merge together. So this time, I deliberately kept an eye on the bronze plate, trying to see if there would be any other phenomena when it combined with the bronze stump.

"Buzz!"

When the bronze stump in my hand slowly approached the bronze plate, about a dozen centimeters away, a small soft buzzing sound came into my ears; Immediately afterward, I noticed that there was no significant suction force coming from the bronze plate, and the bronze stump was sucked down.

"Ding......

The bronze stump landed steadily on the bronze plate, and there was a unique sound of metal colliding; And just as the two of them came into contact with each other, I saw a halo of light on the bronze plate, and then a blinding white light appeared on the bronze stump!

Fortunately, the stone house here was quite tightly sealed, and the white light only flickered for a moment, and it did not reach the outside except for attracting the attention of the other people in the house.

"Another road map!"

I flipped the bronze plate over, and sure enough, I saw a road map appear on it, but the position was different from the last time.

"Kara!"

Hu Yifei turned on his mobile phone, and after taking a few photos of the road map as he did last night in the North Sichuan Guest House, I separated the bronze stump and the bronze plate again.

They had seen us tinkering with the bronze plate and the bronze stump, but they didn't know what it was. You thought it was a magic weapon that I was carrying? So there is no special attention.

Lin Zi also knew that there was indeed a big secret on this bronze plate and bronze stump, but he felt that if he wanted to find this secret, he had to find all the bronze stumps first, so seeing what I did with Hu Yifei, it didn't arouse any interest, it was better to talk to the eccentric Erma Wusu girl in front of him!
