Chapter 311: Weasel Worships the Moon
At this moment, the wind that accompanied the sand and soil gradually stopped, and I took off the goggles and carefully looked at the place pointed by Qiu Shasha's hand, which was the valley of death at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
In fact, even if Qiu Shasha doesn't say it, the fat man and I have to go to the Valley of Death for the purpose of coming this time.
Just as I was about to speak, the uncle guide ran over, stood in front of me and Qiu Shasha, and asked with a surprised face:
"I ...... I said you have to go straight ahead and go to the valley of death ahead?! ”
Qiu Shasha looked at the guide and nodded, and said in a very nonchalant tone:
"Yes, since you're here, you might as well go in and have a look."
"Then, you can't go there, you can't go there! Don't go!! The uncle guide spoke half-baked Mandarin and looked at Qiu Shasha and waved his hand.
Qiu Shasha shook the map in her hand, looked at the uncle and asked:
"Why can't you go?"
When the guide uncle heard Qiu Shasha's words, his face changed, and then he turned his head in the direction of the Valley of Death and glanced at us, then looked at us and said:
"You don't know, the valley of death can not go to the living, there are a lot of monsters that have become spirits, and the thunder is constantly falling in broad daylight, if this person goes in, ten out of ten will not be able to get out, if you go there, aren't you looking for death?"
After Qiu Shasha heard the guide's words, she coughed dryly and said:
"We're just dealing with people who have become spirit monsters, if there are really monsters in there, wouldn't it be good." Qiu Shasha's expression was always calm, like a quiet pool of water.
After the uncle's guide heard Qiu Shasha's words, he obviously didn't believe what he said, and still spoke out to dissuade him:
"Girl, don't be reckless, I've seen a lot of people like you near Kunlun Mountain in the past ten years, no matter how many people, whether they are from China or abroad, as long as they enter the valley of death, no one can come out alive, so the people here call the valley of death the "gate of hell"! Rumors say that there are not only man-eating monsters in your valley in front of you, but also some people say that it is a place where ghosts are scattered, and even more called it the entrance to the underworld. ”
"When you say that, I want to go in and have a look." Qiu Shasha's eldest lady's temper also came up at this time, she was a master of art and bold, and she carried many Taoist weapons and life-saving means, and she also had a "wooden man" bodyguard by her side, she must be fearless.
"This life is your own, you can't joke around......"
"Uncle, you don't have to say much, are you going to go back here, or are you going to send us forward?" Qiu Shasha didn't wait for the guide to finish speaking, and then directly interrupted him.
Seeing that Qiu Shasha had made up his mind, the guide opened his mouth when the words came to his mouth, but finally swallowed them back into his stomach, sighed heavily, looked at Qiu Shasha and said:
"I haven't lived long enough, I'll go back by myself." As he spoke, he turned his head and left, without saying a word to us, as if in his eyes, we were already equated with the dead.
By the time the guide returned the way he came, the sky had already begun to darken, and Qiu Shasha began to beckon me and Lao Niu and Xiao Ran to set up a tent.
In a place like the Kunlun Desert, the panic of the sun during the day can definitely freeze people into dogs at night, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large.
After setting up the tent, the fat man and I were going to light a bonfire near the tent, firstly to keep warm and secondly to protect against wild beasts, but we searched around the neighborhood and could not find any wood that could be used soon, so we had to stop.
Even so, the fat man and I still hung bells around the tent, and whenever something happened, the bells on the tent would ring.
The reason why we are so careful is because we are in this position now, there are many wild large animals, not only wild yaks, wild asses, yellow sheep, Tibetan antelopes, but also many wolves that eat people and do not spit out bones, so we have to be careful.
The tent was set up, everyone sat up in place, and after Qiu Shasha and I agreed on tomorrow's route with the fat man, we sat together and whispered, chatting with each other......
In the middle of the night, the three of us men took turns to keep vigil, Xiao Ran was the first to keep vigil, when I was sleeping in the tent, in the middle of the night, I suddenly woke up with urine, my mind was ethereal, look out, the moonlight is like water, soaked in the big tree, the snow is bright and snowy, like a layer of frost.
I took a look at the fat man next to me, he was sleeping soundly, I got out of the sleeping bag, got dressed and walked outside the tent to pee, Xiao Ran was still sitting outside alone at vigil, motionless, like a sculpture, I subconsciously looked around, and suddenly gasped in fright, and a chill suddenly rose on my back, because in the dark a pair of green wolf eyes slowly moved around in the night!!
But the wolves seemed to be afraid of something, neither barking nor leaning forward, and kept walking around the two tents dozens of meters away from us, as if they were very afraid of something.
"Brother Xiao? Brother Xiao? I looked at him and sat on a rock, motionless, Xiao Ran called him softly, he was older than me, and he was in the same Dragon and Tiger Sect as me, so I called him that.
After Xiao Ran heard my voice, he waited for a while, and then slowly looked at me through his head, without saying a word, as if waiting for me to continue.
Seeing him like this, I had no choice but to speak again:
"We're surrounded by wolves now, should I wake up Qiu Shasha and the fat man?"
When he heard my words, he shook his head and said only six words to me:
"Don't worry, they don't dare ......," he turned his head again, as if he could lose two taels of meat if he said one more word to me.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk to me more, I didn't bother to talk to myself, so I found a corner and began to solve my physical problems.
But when I finished peeing and turned my head, I suddenly saw a yellow-gray animal squatting on a dirt slope opposite our makeshift camp.
It was the size of a half-sized earth dog, and it sat on the high dirt slope, its eyes looking straight at the moon, like a squirrel holding food, its tail slightly cocked, its upper body not moving, its front paws folded, its seat facing north and south, facing the moon, swinging up and down. I bowed about three times, and then I sat still......
The moonlight above the night sky shone on me, and the dark and deep night sky, a full moon hung high in the sky, and the atmosphere around me seemed to freeze at this moment, and became strange.
What is that animal? Could it be that it's the story my grandfather told me when I was a kid, the weasel worships the moon?!
I remember my grandfather told me that if you encounter a weasel worshipping the moon outside, you should never disturb before you are reliable, and immediately take a detour, and people will not offend it, and it will not offend people.
Suppressing the curiosity in my heart, just as I was about to choose to ignore it, turn around and go back to sleep, the weasel suddenly turned his head to look at me!
Its shiny green eyes looked at me with a clear malice, as if it had some kind of hatred for me......
I felt a chill in my heart when I saw it!
"Brute, bold!!" At this time, Xiao Ran, the "wooden man" who had not spoken, suddenly said those four words, and the weasel who had been worshipping the moon heard it, and immediately turned around and bowed twice to Xiao Ran's side, and ran away......
Seeing this, I was even more confused, what is the identity of that Taoist priest named Xiao Ran? Why did the wolves dare not come forward, making people become weasels, who worship the moon, and are willing to apologize to him?
No matter what, these things are showing that this man named Xiao Ran is by no means simple.
Although I was very curious, and wanted to talk to him for a few words, as soon as I saw his face, which others owed him millions for, I held back, went back to the tent, and fell asleep.
……
The next morning, everyone packed their bags, hurriedly ate breakfast, and set out on the road again, heading to the valley of death, according to Qiu Shasha, if there were no accidents on the way, at most at noon today, we would be able to reach the mouth of the valley of death.
