The roaring light of the fire not only illuminated the cave, but also warmed the people and drove away the cold. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, Jianjun sat by the campfire, facing the entrance of the cave, and sat cross-legged. His eyes were closed and he looked as if he was asleep, but Jianjun pricked up his ears, and his closed eyes narrowed into a slit, always paying attention to every move in the cave.
After a short time, a small pebble fell not far in front of Jianjun, and the sound of the stone falling on the ground was very small, but it was listened to by the attentive Jianjun. Jianjun's head was raised slightly, the movement was slow, if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't see it at all, when Jianjun raised his head to forty-five degrees, he saw a black shadow on the top of the cave more than seven meters high was moving slowly, although the light of the bonfire was very strong, but the top of the seven-meter-high cave was a little dim because it was too high, but Jianjun could see it.
At the top of the cave, a monkey-like creature was crawling slowly, and Jianjun couldn't figure out how a monkey could overcome the attraction of the ground to walk on the direct one. Although there are many wild beasts and wild monkeys in this deep mountain and old forest, this is very strange, wild beasts are generally afraid of people, even if they are not afraid of people, they should be afraid of fire, the bonfire in this cave is very vigorous, and this creature that looks like a monkey is not afraid, which makes Jianjun very puzzling and puzzled.
The strange creature didn't notice that Jianjun was staring at him, but still crawled slowly on the top, and after a long time came to a cliff, and then walked down the cliff, and as the monster got closer and closer to the ground, the fire also illuminated it more and more clearly.
The monkey's torso, the whole body is golden, but the face is the face of a cat, which looks a little hideous and terrifying, and the claws are even more magical, it turns out to be the claws of a lizard, and the whole body looks tight, but no matter how you look at it, it is a little weird.
The monster still walked very slowly, but the pace was steady, and there was no sound at all, and the goal was very clear, it was a mountain runner sleeping in the corner.
Seeing this, Jianjun groped out an exorcism talisman directly from the package beside him with one hand, and was about to get up, but before Jianjun could make a move, he saw a blue light flash away, directly hitting the four-like monster, a scream, like a cat, directly from the mouth of this monster, and then, an inch-long wound appeared directly on the monster's back, and a large amount of blood donated from the wound surging out.
"A mountain spirit dares to make a mistake here!" The voice of the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain sounded behind the founding army.
The monster called the mountain spirit by Ma Daoist was injured, but it still clinged to the stone wall, but its movements immediately became faster from the previous slowness.
The screams of the mountain spirits and the scolding of the horse chief woke up everyone who were still asleep, and for a while, everyone saw the mountain spirits swimming quickly on the stone wall.
"This is, this is the mountain god! Don't hurt him, hurry up and bow down! One of the hunters knelt directly on the ground as he spoke, and bowed down to the mountain spirits who were constantly wandering on the stone wall.
The crowd did not pay attention to the Orion's actions, but continued to watch the mountain spirits as they climbed the stone wall. Ma Daochang didn't know when there were a few more copper coins in his hand.
'Whoosh' A few copper coins stood out from the hands of the chief of the horse, and the light and shadow illuminated by the bright light of the bonfire hit the stone wall directly, and the slightest spark appeared from the stone wall, accompanied by a crisp sound.
The three copper coins all hit the stone wall, because the mountain spirit was moving too fast. There have been several cuts and white marks on the stone wall, and it can be seen from this point alone that Ma Daochang is very handy, and ordinary copper coins can have a knife-like effect in his hands.
The mountain spirit kept wandering, but everyone could see that this mountain spirit wanted to escape, and now it was constantly approaching the entrance of the cave, but unfortunately Liu Jushi and Huang Jushi were in the middle of the cave entrance, and this mountain spirit obviously had some wisdom, and saw two people standing at the entrance of the cave, and he turned around and climbed towards the top of the cave, intending to escape from the top of the cave.
Liu Jushi and Huang Jushi did not have any nervousness, their expressions were extremely indifferent, and then a burst of white mist floated out of Liu Jushi's hands, and the entire cave entrance was white.
'Bang', the mountain spirit that was swimming at the top fell down directly, staggering on the ground and trying to stand up, but I don't know why, this mountain spirit seemed to have drunk too much, and he was weak, so he could only lie on the ground and shake. Huang Jushi held a peachwood sword in his hand, and directly stabbed into the heart of the mountain spirit, and a stream of blood rushed out of the mountain spirit's body like a sharp sword, and the blood column was more than twenty centimeters high.
The mountain spirit struggled a few times before it stopped moving, and it was clear that the mountain spirit was dead.
The white mist slowly dissipated, and everyone looked around the mountain spirits, especially Jianjun, who looked very carefully. The body of the mountain spirit was indeed like what Jianjun had seen, like a monkey, and his face was also a cat's face, but the claws made Jianjun startled, and he saw that the nails on the claws were as sharp as knives.
"Hey, this is the mountain god, a few masters, how can you kill the mountain god?" Orion saw that everyone had killed the mountain spirit, and hurriedly said in horror.
"What mountain god? Have you ever seen a mountain god look like this? Liu Laodao opened his mouth and scolded.
"This is our mountain god, and we still have a statue of the god in our village! How could I be mistaken? Orion replied.
"One township, one city, one town, one land, one mountain and one mountain god! This is a mountain spirit, which is completely different from the mountain god! The mountain god is a spirit that can be transformed into a human form in the immortal class, and this four is not like an ordinary spirit! Liu Laodao explained.
Everyone didn't have any doubts about whether this monster was a mountain spirit or a mountain god, after all, several older people had seen this kind of creature, and they all knew what it was.
"What the hell is this mountain spirit? How can you look like this? Jianjun asked with some curiosity.
"You, you can help him treat him as an animal, when I was young, the juniors of the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain had to go to the wilderness and countryside every year to hunt them, and there have been a lot fewer of them over the years, I'm afraid that in a few decades, these mountain spirits will not be able to see them!" Ma Daochang said with a little emotion.
"I'm just curious, why did this mountain spirit look like this? It's not like four at all! Jianjun continued.
"Haha, the mountain spirit was a very common spirit in the past, but the continuous war in the past few years was killed by some sergeants in the field, and most of the old soldiers who had fought in the field before knew the existence of this mountain spirit! As for how this mountain spirit came from, no one knows. Just like an ordinary wild thing, who knows how it evolved. Liu Laodao smiled when he heard Jianjun's inquiry, and then said.
"The claws of this mountain spirit have the effect of warding off evil spirits, Jianjun, you take this claw!" Liu Laodao said as he cut off the claws of the mountain spirit with a hunting knife, and then threw them into the bonfire, and after a while, the smell of burning emanated from the bonfire.
The flesh of the mountain spirit's claws was quickly scorched by the fiery bonfire, and the charred flesh was peeled off, revealing the jade-like bones inside.
Jianjun played with the bone with nails in his hand, not so much a nail as a knife, the mountain spirit can use this sharp nail on the top of the cave as if walking on the ground, its sharpness can be imagined, this mountain spirit only has three fingers, the same is true for nails, with the longest nail in the middle, Jianjun simply directly connected the longest nail to the phalanx to split down, it is very comfortable to hold in the hand, and the length of the nail is twenty centimeters, just like a dagger.
For a while, Jianjun couldn't put down his new dagger.
