Chapter 20: The Monk's Exile
"Get on the ground!"
I fell, and the voice of the second uncle came from my ears, endured the pain in my body, twisted my body, and lay on the ground panting: "Second, second uncle!" What's that?! ”
"Roll to the mountain wall!" The second uncle shouted loudly again.
I answered, and I didn't have time to look up at the top of my head, my body rolled on the ground a few times, leaning against the mountain wall, and after a while, I heard the long howl slowly disappearing, and then I breathed a sigh of relief, stood up against the mountain wall, and glanced behind me, and saw Liang Ruoyi, the second uncle and the cloth bag monk all standing behind me, with a serious face.
"Gone, gone?" I asked, trembling.
"Gone." Liang Ruoyi nodded.
"What's that?"
"I didn't see ...... clearly"
"It's almost eleven o'clock, let's hurry forward and try to find a place to hide as soon as possible." The second uncle proposed.
Everyone had no objections, turned around and continued to walk along the mountain wall, speeding up a few points.
"Master, what do you look like about that thing?" The second uncle turned his head and asked the cloth bag monk beside him as he walked.
The Budai monk shook his head, indicating that he didn't see it clearly.
I couldn't help but look up and see that there was still the excrement floating in the fog above my head, and I thought back to the scene of being knocked into the air before, and I felt like a big bird.
"Saliva birds?" I asked with a wry smile.
"It's not." Liang Ruoyi shook his head: "Flying birds don't live inland. ”
The four of them were speechless any longer, and the road under their feet began to change in angle, and it continued to slowly go up.
"Wait." After walking for more than ten minutes, the Budai monk coldly told us to stop.
We stood up and turned our heads to look, and saw the old monk bowing down, reaching out and pinching a stone under his feet, his fingertips were stained with a layer of black things, put it under his nose and sniffed, and nodded to the second uncle.
The second uncle was stunned, and he also bowed and pinched it under his nose and sniffed: "Cigarette ash ......"
Soot?! Liang Ruoyi and I looked at each other, and then looked back at the second uncle and the Budai monk: "Who is it?" ”
"If you guessed correctly, it's Chai Lao Wu and them." The second uncle said and looked at the cloth bag monk, and the old monk also nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with the second uncle's statement.
"It seems that Chai Lao Wu and they did come in before us!" I glanced at the second uncle, but I had some doubts in my heart, why was Chai Lao Wu able to find this place before us? Even if Xu Zeming gave them the map, if they could find it in such a short time, would it be the news that the second uncle gave them?
Now it seems that compared with the seventh master and Liang Ruoyi, the second uncle believes in Chai Lao Wu more.
"Let's go, don't be left behind." Liang Ruoyi glanced at us and said softly.
Everyone continued to walk forward, and I wondered as I walked: "Could it be that Chai Lao Wu didn't encounter the monster just now?" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the Budai monk whispered again: "Don't move! ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and instinctively stopped, only then did we realize that the fog around us was thicker than just now, the visibility had dropped to within five meters, and the fog above us was so thick that even the sun could not shine in.
The second uncle glanced at me, and I looked over and found that I didn't know when, a forest had appeared not far from us, and it stretched into the mist, with no end in sight. The spruce cedars, one by one, look hundreds or even thousands of years old.
"Hoo ......"
Suddenly, there was a sound of breathing in my ears, which scared me so much that I couldn't help but slap a spirit, and subconsciously grabbed it to the side, just grabbing Liang Ruoyi's little hand.
Liang Ruoyi was startled by me, turned her head and glared at me, but did not withdraw her hand.
The ambiguity in this situation made my heart beat several times faster in an instant, and I almost pumped it out in one go!
The breath was gone, and after a few seconds, it reappeared!
"Whew-"
This time, it was heavier and clearer than the sound of breathing just now, as if something was slowly approaching us.
The four of us leaned against the mountain wall on one side, the second uncle was at the front, Liang Ruoyi and I were in the middle, and the Budai monk was at the end.
After the sound of heavy breathing, I slowly turned my head to look around, and finally after a few seconds, I saw a gray shadow in the white mist.
"There!" I whispered.
But when the others turned their heads to look, I saw that the gray shadow suddenly flashed and disappeared!
"What's that?" Liang Ruoyi was in my ear at this time: "You saw it?" ”
Feeling the warm exhalation, my old face turned red, and I didn't dare to look at the ice beauty who was close at hand: "A gray shadow, very fast, I don't know where to run and ......"
"Whew-whew-"
Suddenly, the sound of breathing reappeared in the fog that had just fallen silent, and this time it was very real, as if it were around us, very quickly.
"Master, be careful!" The second uncle at the front suddenly shouted, his body shook, and his right hand was clenched into a fist, like a dragon going out to sea, and went straight behind the old monk!
The cloth bag monk was stunned for a moment, took a step to the side and turned around with a palm, Liang Ruoyi and I saw a gray shadow suddenly rushed out of the fog, ignoring the second uncle's fist, "poof" a muffled sound, and took the next punch hard, just slightly sluggish, and the second uncle roared, kicked back a few steps, and sat on the ground with a butt!
At this time, the old monk only had one arm, and before he had time to make the next move, he was clamped by the gray shadow with a thick long arm, and disappeared into the mist in the blink of an eye......
"Hey!" I screamed, but I couldn't do anything, from the second uncle's fist to the old monk being snatched away, it only took two or three seconds, and when I came back to my senses, that thing was long gone!
"W-What?!" I turned my head to look at Liang Ruoyi, and found that the second uncle was still sitting on the ground, so I hurriedly let go of her hand and ran over to help the second uncle up, and saw that his wrist was already a little red and swollen.
"You're blind!" Liang Ruoyi also seemed to be a little shocked: "Such a big bear is blind, you can't see it?!" ”
"Bear blind?!" I glared: "Black bear? Isn't it a brown bear?! ”
Although I didn't study zoology, I've always seen the animal world, and brown bears are still distinguished from black bears.
"Miss Liang is talking about brown bears...... second uncle took a breath and smiled bitterly: "It's the first time I've seen such a big brown bear, and the standing height just now is almost seven feet and nearly eight feet...... But Miss Liang, it's not a blind bear, this thing's eyesight is good! ”
"The Bag Master will be fine, right?!" My greatest concern is naturally the safety of the old monk, in the previous operation, the old monk has also encountered several dangers, but each time the danger has been saved, I don't know this time......
"Probably not." The second uncle shook his head slightly: "Now in this season, there should be no shortage of food for brown bears, what is the purpose of kidnapping the master?" ”
"Feeding the kids?" Liang Ruoyi asked.
The second uncle still shook his head: "It shouldn't be, during the period of raising children, these brown bears generally do not take the initiative to attack other species...... In any case, with the skills of the cloth bag master, self-protection should be no problem. It's hard for us to look for it, so let's wait here for a while, and after lunch, Miss Liang, you can contact Zawuhar. ”
Liang Ruoyi nodded, and took out the walkie-talkie. My second uncle and I found a big rock nearby, hid behind the stone to rest, and ate lunch, for fear that those big birds would come again.
"They went smoothly and didn't encounter any danger." Liang Ruoyi quickly followed and said softly.
"Let's eat." I nodded at her and handed the bread and water.
No one mentioned the matter of the Budai monk again, although the second uncle said that the old monk should be fine, but everyone knew in their hearts that it was all self-comforting words, in this kind of action, the dead are too normal, if it weren't for our group of people to be able to gather together, we would never have come to this point.
From Sun Hu and Sun Leopard brothers, to Mazi, to Uncle Bao Weng, and the corpse chaser I forgot his name, these people all died in action......
Waiting for more than one o'clock in the afternoon, there was still no news from the cloth bag monk, the second uncle got up and patted his buttocks: "Let's go, let's continue to hurry, it's not safe here." ”
