I subconsciously leaned closer to Liang Ruoyi and asked softly, "Do you want to run?" If the monster comes, it's going to be in trouble! ”

Liang Ruoyi didn't reply, but turned down the flashlight light, and I simply turned off my flashlight.

After a few breaths, a black shadow sprang out of the stone pillars, and staggered towards us, and before I could see who it was, another man ran out of the stone pillars, and stumbled in an even more stumbling manner......

"Bag Master?! Pig?! ”

The two people who appeared in front of us turned out to be dirty, ragged cloth bag monks and pigs' heads. The old monk nodded to me, casually pointed to the two boulders in the distance, and walked directly over without stopping.

"Poof!"

Before I could come to my senses, the pig's head fell to its knees in front of me like a mass of flesh!

"Roar!" I couldn't help but laugh and stretched out an arm: "Brother Pig, what are you doing?" There are still a few months before the Chinese New Year, so I don't need to make this big gift, and besides, I didn't bring a red envelope! ”

"Get out, get out!" The pig's head scolded me weakly, raised his head and stared at the pair of mung bean eyes that he had never stared at in his life, and looked at me viciously: "Help me over, Lao Tzu almost became a roast suckling pig!" ”

Liang Ruoyi on the side couldn't help but sneer, walked over to help me hold the pig's head, and slowly walked towards the two boulders.

"What's wrong?" Seeing my struggling look, the pig's head asked in a low voice, "Why are you injured?" What did you encounter? ”

I smiled bitterly: "This ...... Ahem, I'll talk about that later. ”

Seeing that I was a little embarrassed, the pig head didn't ask any more questions, and came to the two boulders, where the cloth bag monk was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes and pranayama. The pig's head also sat on the side with a hum, leaned against the boulder, and let out a sigh: "Ouch...... I almost burned Lao Tzu to death......"

"What's in there?" I sat on the side, looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and hurriedly rummaged through my backpack with Liang Ruoyi, and opened up dinner.

"A dog...... No, it's a monster. The pig head smiled bitterly: "I don't know anyway, but the master of the cloth bag seems to know, and I didn't hear it clearly." For most of the day, I was chased by it! Later, he bumped into the bag master, tossed for a long time, and crawled with a rolling belt, and then ran out. ”

"Isn't it a red mouth and red eyes, dark brown fur, and a thick, long, white tail?!" I asked, turning my head to look at the pig's head.

"That's right, that's it!" The pig's head looked surprised: "How do you know?" Have you encountered it too? ”

"Nope." I shook my head and helped Liang Ruoyi make a fire: "In the place where you came out, there are countless characters on the pile of stone pillars, and from a certain angle, it just happens to be the appearance of that monster, and when that thing spits fire, because of the increase in temperature, those characters have a color, which is the thing I said......"

"When we were in the caves and cliffs outside, we should have encountered that thing." The pig head nodded slightly: "I only know when the distance is close, that kind of temperature can suffocate people in an instant, thanks to the fact that we have all practiced, the breath will still be adjusted, if you, so close distance, the temperature rises rapidly, it is estimated that Lima will have internal injuries......"

I don't have any reason to refute this: "Not to mention close range, even the few times I felt the heat wave from afar, I had to lie on the ground or hide with my back against a boulder, and I felt my whole throat burn when I took a sip!" ”

The pig's head seemed to have no strength to speak, took out a bottle of water from his backpack and dried it, took out another wet towel and wiped his face, and fell asleep against the boulder.

The fire was quickly lit, and Liang Ruoyi took out the rice and a small iron pot from the pig's head bag and boiled the porridge.

Ten minutes later, the rich aroma of rice made the Budai monk and the pig's head wake up, and Liang Ruoyi and I served it to them, and we were hungry for a long time, so we ate it in a big gulp.

"See anyone else?" Monk Budai asked expressionlessly.

I shook my head: "No, the seventh master and the second uncle haven't seen it, and those who are following us haven't seen it either, so I guess they won't be able to find it." ”

"By the way, where's the toad?" The pig's head said, "Didn't see it either?" ”

"Toad ......" I glanced at Liang Ruoyi, and saw that she didn't seem to hear it, drinking porridge by herself, and simply grinned: "Toad, dead." ”

"Dead?!" The news startled the pig's head, and even the Budai monk looked up at me.

"Well, dead."

"How did you die?" The pig's head frowned: "What evil things have you encountered?" Or is it because of those vertigo-making characters? ”

"Neither." I shook my head: "Do you remember that on the way to this operation, the abscesses on the toad's face cracked one after another?" ”

"Remember!" The pig's head stared at me motionlessly: "I didn't care at the time, because the abscess on his face had also burst before, and I was disgusted, so I scolded him a few times, what does this have to do with his death?" ”

"The abscess on his face doesn't break open because the toxins in his body have flareed up." I didn't plan to tell the true situation of the toad: "But he didn't have any medicine himself, I thought that I could find some elixir in the Nanpan Divine Palace this time, but I didn't hold on to ......it."

"Then how did he die?" The pig's brow furrowed even deeper, as if he was sketching the picture in his mind.

"Yesterday afternoon, after we got separated in the stone pillars, I quickly found Liang Ruoyi, and the toad ran into us again." I took a sip of porridge and said, "Because it was late, we didn't look for you again, we found a place to rest, in the middle of the night, I woke up and saw that the abscesses on the face of the toad were all broken, and the red, yellow and white flowed all over the face, which frightened me, and I ......"

"Damn! You've disgusted me! The pig's head lifted his fat leg and kicked me with some difficulty, and then took a bite of the ham sausage in his hand and scolded: "It's shameless, I hate it when someone spoils my appetite when I'm eating!" ”

"Get out!" I glared and replied, "You asked me to say it!" Blame me! ”

"And then?" The cloth bag monk on the side did not change his face, still drinking the porridge in the bowl in small sips, and asked softly.

"Later......" I glanced at the pig's head: "Later, I asked him what was going on, and he told me that there were a few days every month, and the qi in his body could not be suppressed, which seemed to be the so-called Yuanyang Qi, if there was no drug suppression in the past few days, he would have burst into blood, and the abscesses on his face would burst, and then the seven orifices would bleed and die of blood...... At that time, his expression was quite relaxed, I asked him if he needed help, he said no, it would be good to find the elixir in the past two days, so I slept, and when I woke up again, the toad had become a pool of blood......"

", disgusting!" The pig's head took a bite out of me, and turned to eat his own food.

Monk Budai nodded, and didn't say anything more, as if this matter had long been expected by him.

I glanced at Liang Ruoyi intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that she also had no reaction, and sighed in my heart: The toad is indeed quite miserable, looking back, he was killed like this by my father, and he lived for 20 years, and in the end, he died at my hands...... The arrangement of fate sometimes makes people feel funny and helpless.

The four of them did not speak again, and ate their supper quietly, the pig's head rested on the boulder, and the cloth bag monk seemed to be in good spirits, and he did not look as languishing as when he first came out of the stone pillar group before.

"This Nanpan Shrine, have you ever been there?" The old monk stood in front of the boulder and looked at the Nanpan Shrine on the low hill and asked.

"I've been in." Liang Ruoyi walked over: "We only looked at the lower floor, and we encountered evil things, because there were too few people and there were injuries, so we didn't dare to venture again." ”

"What evil thing?" The old monk asked.

"Monster in Red." I continued: "Dressed in red, covering all the body, you can't see anything, and after grabbing the person, some red silk threads will emerge from the body, slowly entanglement of the person, which is somewhat similar to the black-faced corpse, but this thing is very powerful, and it is not very afraid of me." ”

"Oh?" The old monk was a little surprised when he heard that the monster was not very afraid of me: After all, from the beginning to the present, there is no evil thing that can not be afraid of our Gu family.

The old monk looked thoughtful, and I paused and asked, "By the way, master, what is the thing that breathes fire in the stone pillars?" ”

"Many." The cloth bag monk raised his one arm in front of his chest and slowly twisted the Buddha beads.

"That's right, it's called more." Liang Ruoyi suddenly realized: "I knew what it was when I saw the picture of the thing on the stone pillar, but I didn't remember its name after thinking about it for a long time." ”

"How much is that?!" I smiled wryly, "What is this?" How does it sound like a character from an anime. ”

"It has been recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"." Ice Beauty explained, while stretching out her slender jade hand and brushing the hair in front of her eyebrows upwards: "That's what you see." ”

"This wolfdog、Oh no, this is more, it breathes fire?!" I was even more surprised: "Is there really such a monster-level thing in reality?!" ”

"Of course not!" Liang Ruoyi glared at me: "How can any creature hide a fire in its stomach?" However, it does breathe fire, that is because it likes to eat rotten things, these things are digested in its stomach, and because of the special structure of its stomach, it will take a long time to defecate, so these garbage will be deposited in its stomach, and after a long time, it will produce a gas similar to biogas, and coincidentally, because it likes to eat rotten food with a lot of bacteria, in the years of evolution, many teeth have become the hottest part of the body, used to kill rotten germs, and this temperature is not generally high……”
