Chaozi kicked hard, and he thought it was a vine or something wrapped around him, but the sensitivity of his profession made him start to realize that it was more like a hand. Although he is reckless and impulsive at times, a scout has taught him composure and calmness in the face of danger.

He quietly moved the gun on his back to his side, and unfastened the belt from his waist and buckled it to the tree, and the mountain was still wondering why Chaozi had been tinkering there, and suddenly there was a splash of dirt in front of his heels accompanied by the sound of gunfire.

Dashan subconsciously stepped back and shouted, "What the hell! I almost jumped on your head! When he looked up, he saw a white mass falling from the sky, "What a thing! Then the mass covered the mountain's head and made a mess.

Hearing the movement over there, Cha Wenbin and Tang Yuanshan also hurried over, only to see that Chaozi was taking off the white cloth on Dashan's head, holding it in his hand and taking a look, it was a piece of clothing.

A white gown, very dirty, with blood on it but it had dried up, there was a bullet hole, it was hit by Chaozi, how could such a thing fall?

Chaozi handed the gown to Cha Wenbin and said, "Something strangled my foot, Brother Wenbin, I feel like it's a dirty thing." ”

Uncle Chang was a little nervous and said, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"One body away from me, as long as it's alive, I can feel the breath, but you see." Chaozi rolled up his trouser leg, and the mark of five claws was shocking.

Cha Wenbin put the clothes under his nose and smelled them, then tore off a small piece and lit it with fire, and after a ball of fire, it instantly turned into ashes, and he dipped his fingers in the ashes and rubbed them carefully.

"How?" Tang Yuanshan asked.

"I've been dead for some years, I guess it's something unclean, Chaozi, do you have a problem with your legs?"

"It's not a big deal."

Cha Wenbin took out a talisman and gave it to Chaozi and said: "Then go up again, I'll show you, take a closer look at whether there is anything else on the branch, don't look back when you meet someone who touches your back, and click on this directly." ”

Chaozi took the talisman and continued to push up, and at this time, four or five flashlights shone in unison, and several pairs of eyes watched Chaozi climb up.

A few minutes later, Chaozi shouted from the tree, "Something! Two small chicks, and a few bones. ”

"Wrap it all up and bring it down together."

Two chicks, about the size of a normal domestic chicken cub.

"I've been pinching it in my hands, these two things are really not good birds, they are very fierce, and my skin is going to open when I peck it."

There was also a pile of bones, and Chaozi and the bird's nest were also taken down together, and they shook it to the ground, and everyone looked bad. The thigh bone and skull can be clearly distinguished, what is this not the remains of a human body?

"The bones are gnawed clean, it's really wrong for you not to let me beat the bird, what a good thing can it be to eat human flesh, fortunately, it didn't pluck and stew, knowing that it would vomit to death if it ate human flesh."

Cha Wenbin said: "Dig a pit and bury it in a while, the white phoenix is a dark bird, and what it eats is naturally a corpse, and it has to be a corpse in the grave." ”

"Are these two little ones buried together?"

"With it, it works! Maybe the one who grabbed your leg just now is this person, he may be kindly afraid that you will be eaten by birds when you go up, bury it well, don't fool others. ”

Zhuo Xiong took the pair of chicks and said with a smile: "Bury it well, don't let people have opinions and look for you at night." ”

"Get out!"

That night, Cha Wenbin stayed outside the tent all night, and the heavens seemed to be joking with him, and the cloud never dispersed. Without astrological signs, half of a feng shui bureau is missing, and you can only quietly look forward to tomorrow night.

The injured white phoenix is much quieter with a chick, and for it to eat the corpse is the same as a vulture on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is just the law of its survival. You can hate other people's habits, but you have to respect the basics of other people's existence.

In the early morning of the second day, the first rays of sunlight made the sleepy-eyed Cha Wenbin a little excited, and the position where the light hit was on a hillside opposite. The terrain is relatively flat and undulating, so it may be a good place to bury people. Thinking that the location of the sun tomorrow would not change much, he got up and called a group of people to start walking through the dense jungle, and finally arrived at the destination after a half-day trek.

To Cha Wenbin's disappointment, his feet were full of hard stones, low shrubs grew here, and the naturally formed rocks could not find the slightest grave to start with, not only here, but also in a radius of several miles.

This night is destined to be difficult for some people, and Tang Yuanshan is one of them.

He anxiously stayed by Cha Wenbin's side, the Taoist priest had not closed his eyes for two whole days, he was lying flat on the ground, his eyes looking at the hazy sky without blinking. Today, the clouds and mist are still the main theme, the mountain wind is accompanied by the bonfire, Zhuo Xiong adds firewood from time to time, and more than once he wants to ask: What's wrong with you?

"Do you have eyebrows?" Tang Yuanshan asked, this is related to the rise and fall of the family for a hundred years, and it is the most urgent thing at the moment.

"Nope."

"You'll have to figure it out, I'm counting on you."

"Wait."

Tang Yuanshan couldn't hold it anymore, he put his sleeping bag first, and Dashan came to rotate the second shift of Zhuo Xiong Station, and it was already close to twelve o'clock at this time.

He took a coat and put it on Cha Wenbin: "Brother, go to sleep, this is what someone invited us, we can do it if we can, and if we can't do it, we can't do it, don't let yourself collapse." ”

"Dashan, when I don't become a Taoist priest next year, let's go to your original place together."

Dashan touched the back of his head and said, "I can do anything, listen to Brother Wen Bin, but you really don't want to be a Taoist?" ”

Cha Wenbin flipped the seven-star sword in his hand and said: "I don't want to do it, it's time to spread it, let that kid from Hetu take over." ”

"He's still young, isn't he?"

"It's almost, I also took it when I was the same age as him, and the master led me into the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual. Tao is a thing that depends on understanding, he has that talent, and if he doesn't take the wrong path in the future, he will create a famous hall. Go back, find someone to tell you and both of them about your daughter-in-law, and she is not too young, and it is time to start a family. ”

"Daughter-in-law? Hey. Dashan was a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands and said: "I haven't thought about it, I'm uneducated, I'm a rough person, who is willing to follow." ”

"Steadfastness is more important than anything else, and when I am not there one day, I will go to those two brothers when I have something. This man has a sinister heart, and they have a lot of slippery heads, and they will help you. ”

"Brother Wen Bin, what are you talking about, you are so capable, I still feel more at ease with you."

"I ......" Cha Wenbin wanted to speak and stopped, his life star had already fallen, and there would be three months at most, and when the time came, he would have to go on the road after all.

The mountain stood up and shouted, "Look, the moon is out!" ”

Sure enough, the clouds that had shrouded the night for two nights began to gradually dissipate, and a hole was broken in the huge sky, and the moon was hidden behind it, and it was about to stand out.

At this moment, the white phoenix, which had been hanging, suddenly got up and let out a long cry towards the night sky. Cha Wenbin looked back and saw that the bird had already stood up, trying to flap its injured wings several times, but its feet were hanging from the rope and could only flutter in place.

Cha Wenbin asked, "What time is it today?" ”

"How do I know this ......?"

"Ming" was another long cry, this time it stretched its neck and screamed louder and more continuously, like a warrior blowing the horn of a charge, long and long. The cry of the white phoenix was born with a hint of sadness, and it was more appropriate to say that it was a horn than a horn.

Cha Wenbin's fingers quickly pinched: "Fourteen, today is the fourteenth of July." ”

"Damn, if you call Lao Tzu to kill you, you won't be able to sleep well!" Chaozi got up with his clothes draped and cursed, not only him, but everyone else was woken up by the bird's cry and climbed up from the tent one after another.

Chaozi was already a little rushed, and at this time he ran towards the white phoenix with a dagger, first slapped the bird's head fiercely, and then lifted its feet upside down and shouted: "Eat people, Lao Tzu let you eat people, peel your skin and feed you to those two little ones!" ”

"Slow down, don't come nonsense!" Cha Wenbin shouted.

"Why keep it, it's the same as crying and mourning."

"What time is it?"

Chaozi rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Twelve o'clock is a few seconds." ”

"That's right, Fifteen! Today is the seventh and a half months, Halloween! Look! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the cloud cave had been completely opened, and a beam of moonlight scattered down the sky, shining white and shining on about half an acre of land in the valley. The light was like a lamppost, too conspicuous and too eerie.

"Quick, remember that place!" Cha Wenbin was too late, he shouted with some excitement: "The first ray of the autumn wind, I understand, it's not the sun, but the moonlight!" ”

Slowly, the clouds in the sky began to close again, and in less than a minute, the world fell into darkness again. The white phoenix was uneasily held in Chaozi's hand, and its cries echoed in the vast night sky for a long time. The mourning horn began to blow, and the carnival that belonged to that world was about to begin......
