Chapter Forty-Eight
The three days passed quickly, especially when a few of us idlers were fighting the landlord every day, and the time passed even faster.
On the evening of the fourth day, I, Little Buddha, Hai Dongqing, and the three of us set off from Longshan County with their things.
First, he called a taxi and went straight to Pagoda Village, and then took the guys out of the south of the village and sneaked up the mountain.
The act of going up the mountain in the dark must seem to outsiders that we should avoid people's eyes and ears, but in fact it is not all.
We're really trying to be evasive, yes, actually.
It has to make people feel like we're going to play for real, right?
"Is this thing okay on my back?"
"It's fine."
"Is it really okay? I'll tell you, I saw it the day I was surnamed Yi."
Little Buddha seemed to remember the scene when I opened the box that day, and couldn't help but shudder for a while, and didn't continue.
Attentive readers will surely remember that the master once helped me find something, packed it in a box, and handed it to me.
It must have been a few months since then, and of course this thing has been with me for months.
Honestly, sometimes I feel a little uneasy when I see that wooden box.
"What are you carrying for him?" Hai Dongqing has always been very curious about the box, but no matter what he says, I haven't opened the box to show him, which makes him very puzzled.
Actually, I don't blame me, I only saw that thing once when I checked it, and the rest of the time it was covered with a box, for fear that it would leak out and cause trouble.
None of these things are well controlled, and a few of us are destined to die.
"Flying Heaven."
(Note: 隰, pronounced xi second tone, describes a low-damp place, or a newly cultivated field.) )
Since ancient times, there has been an evil thing in Xiangxi from generation to generation, called Xitian.
The appearance of this evil creature is like a thick green liquid, cold as ice, and it will not evaporate when placed in the sun, but it will emit bursts of fragrant smoke.
At night, the sky will also emit a unique fluorescence, which is not only weird, but also eye-catching.
By the way, I've got to make it clear here, this thing is a living thing.
What exactly is Xitian, it is really not clear in the records of the past and present, only vaguely said that it is made of the gathering of yin qi, but it is a living thing, which is very contradictory.
There is no single qi in the body of a living thing, whether it is an animal or something else, as long as it is a living thing, there must be two qi in the body.
I have never seen a living creature with only one kind of qi, and I have seen only a few of them in books, and Fei Yutian is one of them.
Most of these things live in the low-lying areas of the mountains, and they look like swamps from a distance.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who live in caves in the mountains, at the bottom of underground rivers, and above the coffins of the main chambers of the ancient tombs.
That small box of Xitian came from the ancient tomb, and this was something that the master's men found by accident.
Coincidentally, when they went down to the tomb, they happened to see this thing attached to the lid of the coffin, and the faces of several people appeared on the surface of the liquid from time to time, so frightened that they almost fainted in the tomb.
At that time, no one dared to go up to do anything, so they could only exit the tomb and call the master in the mountains to report the matter.
When the master found out, he came to me as soon as he found out, and then I was happy.
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.
The most powerful formation in "The Legend of the Dao" requires only one kind of material, and it happens to be this Xi Tian.
To be precise, the full name of this thing should be Fei Yutian.
I don't know where this name came from, "The Tao Ji" doesn't explain it, but just says its characteristics and power.
"Flying in the sky, a thing that gathers yin, likes to absorb souls, and also likes to attract spirits."
"When a living person touches it, the seven spirits are out of the body, the three souls are gone, and the person is gone."
Although this thing is powerful, it is still quite easy to catch it, just sprinkle it evenly on the surface of Xi Tian with cinnabar, and Xi Tian will lose the ability to harm people in a short time of a stick of incense, and let people catch it and fiddle with it.
Subsequently, use the jasper box to put Xi Tian in, and even if it has great skills, it will not be able to come out.
"Where are we going?" Little Buddha stopped his steps, scolded and slapped his limbs with his hands, scratched his back a few times from time to time, and estimated that he was bitten by mosquitoes and couldn't hold on, and he couldn't wait to take a bottle of insecticide and fight to the death with those beasts.
"Continue on the mountain trail, and you will be there in about half an hour."
After hearing Hai Dongqing's answer, the little Buddha nodded, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and smoked hard.
"The surname is Yi, let me ask you something."
"Say." I looked at him curiously.
"We were studying that picture last night, and I've seen it several times, and the thing you said has eyes all over your body is the injustice of protecting the baby." The little Buddha asked me, "Is it?" ”
"That's right, that's right."
"Your old man has been here too, and he said that place is a cave, right?"
"That's right." I nodded, my brow furrowed.
"But we seem to have overlooked one thing, the monster is down the mountain, and there is no cave on the map." Little Buddha spread his hands: "No matter what you think, anyway, I don't feel like that thing is guarding something, it's more like wandering around the mountains, don't you notice that its movements are very similar to being intercepted on the way to run?" ”
I shivered violently, only to feel the cold air in my spine, and the cold sweat on my forehead began to bubble out.
"This" my face became more and more ugly: "It seems that this is really possible"
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the depths of the jungle in the distance, as if some animal was roaring, and the hoarseness in the roar made people shudder.
"It won't be so unlucky, will it?" Little Buddha asked me helplessly.
I was about to answer his words, but Hai Dongqing picked up the conversation.
"It doesn't seem like it's some kind of injustice."
Hai Dongqing frowned and said, listening carefully to the continuous screams, shaking his head, and there were doubts between his eyebrows.
"The sound is like a monkey"
Before Hai Dongqing's words fell, the sound of tree branches being violently plucked sounded in the jungle in front of us.
It's like
Something was moving quickly through the woods
", monkeys?" Little Buddha's eyes seemed to be very good, he shook the flashlight into the distance, and saw several huge black shadows squatting on the branches looking at us, he raised the gun without saying a word, and said impatiently: "They dare to come over, let's eat monkey brains today, I'm really, it's only been a long time since I went up the mountain to meet this thing."
"Your monkeys are so big," I exclaimed, for I could dimly see the pale faces of those "monkeys".
Where the is this monkey?!! It's a bunch of mandrills!!
After I carefully counted the number of these mandrills, I immediately began to curse my mother, where did these beasts come from?
In addition to the three who played as strikers before, there were seventeen mandrills scattered behind.
That's a full twenty of them, and they're all grown mandrills, and we can't even get the size of that head.
Mandrills are still omnivores, not only vegetarians, but they also love meat.
In ancient times, there were not a few people who were eaten by mandrills, and because of this, coupled with their white-faced horse faces, most of them called mandrills mountain ghosts in ancient times.
I only heard the old man tell Uncle Fat about the fact that there are mandrills in Longshan, because they are the ones who saw mandrills in the mountains with their own eyes.
I've never heard of it before, let alone seen it in the mountains.
It seems that it is really fate, God has arranged it, the old man and the fat uncle have met, God probably wants me to meet and try it once.
"Little Buddha, don't shoot." Hai Dongqing said, his face was a little pale: "We have no way back after shooting, and now they haven't done anything to us, let's step back first and see the situation." ”
The little Buddha nodded silently, spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth to the ground, and was fully prepared to meet the enemy.
"Be careful, little Buddha, you put down the gun first and slowly retreat"
At this time, we listened to Hai Dongqing's command, and just raised our feet and were about to take a few steps back, but we didn't expect that the group of mandrills suddenly roared, and the sharp and piercing roar seemed to warn us, or this was the signal of the attack.
Little Buddha frowned, and immediately raised the muzzle of the gun, intending to shoot first to scare and scare the group of beasts.
But before he could shoot, the group of mandrills rushed into the jungle on the side, and they were all rushing towards us quickly.
When the first mandrill scurried past the jungle beside us, the little Buddha also pulled the trigger, but missed the brute, after all, there were branches blocking the view, and five. The burst shot was too close to hit that far.
What's more, mandrills move very fast, and it is not easy to hit them.
As soon as the guns rang out, the roars of those mandrills became more urgent, and they rushed one by one
Wrong!!!
They didn't come for us!!
I looked at the mandrills that were quickly distancing myself from us, and I felt a very intuitive sense of danger in my heart.
"Hiss!!!"
"Damn, they're running for their lives, not trying to attack us," I shuddered uncontrollably, looking in the direction of the evil in the distance: "They're hiding from something behind!! ”
