Chapter 37: The Seal of the Mountain Ghost

Mu Qingyang was in a coma for a short time and woke up immediately, only to feel a faint pain all over his body. Looking closely at the surroundings, he had already rolled down the side of the hillside, blocked by a dragon claw locust tree protruding from the cliff, but even so, half of his body flashed out of the cliff, and it was very dangerous to sway.

"How are you?" Su Lao Han had already slid not far above his head and was checking on his condition.

"It's okay, it's just that my whole body is sore, and I can't get up for the time being!" Mu Qingyang replied.

"It seems that it is also a great luck in misfortune, it's okay if people are fine, you wrap the rope around your waist and tie it, and I'll pull you on it!"

Immediately, he wrapped it around his body four or five times and tied a dead knot, and he already felt that the roots of the ancient locust tree behind him were beginning to loosen a little......

"Are you alright?"

"That's it! No problem. ”

"Up!" Su Laohan seemed to have wrapped the long rope around a high raised stone ridge to borrow strength, and his body immediately rose upward.

"Come again!" The whole rope creaked, Mu Qingyang panicked, and the whole person suddenly lost his balance and shook!

"Steady!"

Su Laohan's voice was a little hurried, but he completely forgot that Mu Qingyang was a novice with no experience in mountaineering, and this kind of reminder made him shake even more.

Giggle...... Boom!

The rope could not withstand the friction of the edges and corners, and immediately broke a strand......

"Steady, use your waist strength, don't move your hands and feet!" Su Laohan was also a little panicked.

Mu Qingyang has no way to control his body at all now, and he just can't help but scratch around when he is suspended in the air.

"Steady!"

Giggle...... Boom...... Boom!

The rope broke two more strands, and now only a small strand was barely holding on!

Su Laohan sighed and began to slowly put him down, and when Mu Qingyang grabbed the trunk of the locust tree, he realized that he was hanging down again.

"You can't pull it up, you untie the rope first, I'll pick up the rope and try again?" Su Laohan said helplessly.

"Good!" Mu Qingyang has no idea at all now, just listen to what he says.

While Xie Mu Qingyang, he asked him: "Uncle Su, is there any spare, the two are screwed together?" ”

"Nope! The ropes in the equipment were all carried by the dolls, and I only had one to bundle the tent with for a while. ”

No wonder it's so fragile? He complained in his heart, but he still didn't dare to delay, the roots of the tree behind him were already a little tilted.

After working for a while, I finally untied the rope (I made up my mind to tie a slipknot next time, and this dead knot caused my fingers to blister.) )。

"Next!" A large bag of gear hung over his head.

"What's wrong?" A little puzzled, Mu Qingyang raised his head and asked.

"It's too narrow to be needed." It seems that Uncle Su is also ready to give it a go.

He wrapped the rope around again and grabbed his backpack gear in his hand, this time remembering to snap a live buckle.

"Up!" With a loud shout, his body slowly rose again, and because of his experience last time, Mu Qingyang firmly grasped this life-saving sling with both hands, and finally climbed to the slope a little bit without danger.

Call...... Call!

The two of them just kept panting, they didn't feel nervous just now, it turned out that Uncle Su's hands were worn out; As for him, it was even worse, there was no hole on his body without a tear, but fortunately, it was only a flesh wound, not a vital injury.

After resting for a while, Uncle Su dragged Mu Qingyang up and said, "We have to hurry, I see that the moon is about to come out." ”

I didn't scratch my head for a while, but I also understood that he probably said that it was not easy to hurry when it was dark, so he nodded. In order to help him share some of the burden, and also out of the mood of repaying his gratitude, Mu Qingyang also brought some field equipment supplies into his backpack. (This subconscious behavior actually made it very convenient for me to encounter it later, so sometimes people always have to help each other)

Finally, they dragged them to the top of the mountain, climbed high and looked into the distance, a lush green reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun, gilding the surrounding scenery with a layer of gold, and the mood immediately improved a lot. Ahead is the serpentine path down the mountain, which looks very flat with twists and turns.

"Be careful, we must put our feet on the ground to put the weight of our whole body on it, there are several collapses on both sides of this road, and it is not very safe to carry this path, and the moon is about to come out."

Mu Qingyang didn't think much about him repeatedly mentioning the moon, he just thought it was an old man's chattering habit, but he didn't know that this matter was really related to his next fate.

The climate in the mountains is always changeable, and the sky is still clear before sunset, but as soon as it is dark, I see dark clouds gathering over, and it is about to rain.

"Quick...... Come on! Su Laohan urged me all the way, and Mu Qingyang didn't care about any down-to-earth statements at this time, just trotted down with his head covered and one foot shallow. Although the slope of the descent was quite buffered by the twists and turns of the road, it was still a little steep, so he couldn't stop once he ran away.

"Be careful! There was a collapse in front of ......"

Before the words fell, he had already been tricked. The toes were mixed by the small hole, and the whole person immediately grabbed a dog to eat, followed by a sharp pain in the right foot!

Hiss!

At the same time that the whole head was dizzy, I suddenly heard a strange sound in my ears, and a cool thing on my face slipped by......

"Don't move! There are long worms......"

There was no need for the old man to remind him, Mu Qingyang had already seen the arm-long Jinlan poisonous snake that was staring at him, its triangular head was raised high, and the red tongue retracted and spit out from time to time, making a hissing sound.

"Go!"

Mu Qingyang hurriedly raised his hand forward, but after all, it was not as fast as the poisonous snake, and the snake's head shook and let go of the slap, jumped up as if it was loaded with a spring, and took a bite on his brow. As soon as his eyes were dark, he immediately felt a burst of soreness and numbness hit his entire head, and he immediately felt extremely nauseous churning up as soon as he grabbed the poisonous snake on his face and threw it away.

"Oops!" At this time, his feet were soft, and his whole body actually began to shake violently, and he didn't know if it was a snake venom attack or a sudden earthquake, in short, the sky was spinning and blurry, and he heard Su Laohan shouting loudly: "The earth dragon has turned over to worship the moon, ...... quickly"

……

I don't know how long I've been asleep, but it's always dark in my concept, and my eyes seem to be on fire, and my whole body is hot. Occasionally, a few drops of cold water drop on the face, which is cool and very comfortable, but if you want to ask for it again, it is always gone in an instant.

……

The state of confusion lasted for a long time, and I could almost wake up in the middle or a few times, but I couldn't do it anymore and fell asleep. It wasn't until he felt that his face was itching so badly that he couldn't help but scratch it a few times that Mu Qingyang realized that he had woken up......

In front of me is a piece of white jade, as if in the underwater world, all you see is sparkling reflections shaking, just like in a dream. In the blink of an eye, I felt that something was covering my vision, so I pulled it with my hand but slowly peeled off a thin film, and a cool breeze blew across my whole face, and I was a lot more sober.

It can be seen that this is a lava cave, although Mu Qingyang is not a geological expert, but the hanging stalactites and stalagmites and the waterhole with the spring water around him can prove the judgment. He was at the end of a slope, and the cold wind that blew in behind him reminded him that he had slipped out of the hole over there. The walls and the roof of the cave are glowing with a silvery white glow, I don't know what texture it is, but they are glowing in the night and the effect is very good, and the whole cave is bright.

I tried to turn over and sit up, and I couldn't help sighing, and I only felt uncomfortable in my heart. Finally stay alone, let's see if there is a way to heal this injury, right?

Hands to eyebrows concentrated his thoughts, but at this time, there was no news as if he was sinking into the sea, and when he realized that he seemed to be unable to control the only situation he could rely on, Mu Qingyang immediately fell into a deep panic.

Once, twice, three times, again and again, he couldn't remember how many attempts he had made, and still nothing had come to turn his predicament, the damn book seemed to be gone, and it had no intention of coming out at allβ€”yes, as its owner, he could feel it still in his consciousness, but it just wouldn't move.

The more irritable mood began to make Mu Qingyang uneasy, he wanted to leave here as soon as possible, in a kind of intuition that he couldn't tell, the environment here seemed to be a kind of constraint to him, a huge pressure pressed over like a blockbuster, almost pressing Mu Qingyang couldn't breathe.

Hurriedly crawled to the waterhole, his foot hurt and he couldn't get up, but fortunately he could easily crawl over, thanks to the gods for allowing us to have limbs! While drinking the pool water, Mu Qingyang couldn't help but think like this.

The refreshing coldness calmed him down temporarily, recalling the past, he should have been slid into this underground cavern by some accidental collapse, but the snake venom in it made him unconscious for a long time. It was also during this period that the toxicity slowly subsided and the foot injury was much better. It was probably because of the monster's physique that he could recover slowly, and Mu Qingyang believed that he would definitely be able to escape death from this death.

But in any case, I have to eat to replenish my strength first, and I don't know how long I have been sleeping, my stomach is now hungry and acidic, and the thought of some dry food in my backpack immediately made Mu Qingyang's saliva almost flow down.

Quickly crawled to the original location, opened the backpack, and sure enough, found a large package of compressed biscuits and a few boxes of beef jerky, and even found a few pieces of pickles and a packet of tightly pressed fried noodles underneath. Mu Qingyang now simply wants to sing and dance loudly, it turns out that kindness will really be rewarded! I didn't pay attention at the time, but I didn't know that there would be such a big surprise in the field equipment!

Carefully mixing a small piece of biscuit with a small piece of beef jerky, he stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it a few times, swallowing it, and let out a long breath......

It's a fairy-like treat!

Mu Qingyang couldn't help but sigh comfortably, followed by a series of wry smiles: "I really didn't expect that I, a monster, would almost shed tears for such a little food?" It was an amazing experience. ”

Knowing that he couldn't eat too much now, this almost common sense problem made him struggle for a long time. It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to do. The feeling of hunger would not have been able to imagine the pain in it if it had not been experienced.

Trembling and wrapping up the food, Mu Qingyang gritted his teeth and began to check the injury on his right leg. The right ankle is now swollen with a large bag, but he can barely move, indicating that there is no problem with the bone, it is estimated that the ligament is torn, and he can only hope that his monster physique can be successfully restored, and this injury that ordinary people must go to the hospital to treat.

I endured the severe pain and massaged twice, but I felt that not only did it not help, but there was a tendency to aggravate the condition, so I had to give up this plan to speed up the method and bandage my right foot tightly.

Leaning against the wall, he stretched and continued to check what else was in his backpack.

A multi-purpose saber, a flashlight, boxes of solid fuel, an alcohol stove and a matching pot, a first-aid kit, and even a few bright flares and a thin blanket.

It turns out that he is so rich now, although these things cannot be said to be valuable, but they are things that Mu Qingyang urgently needs now, but unfortunately he can't find his mobile phone, probably because he lost it in distress a few times.

The back was uncomfortable, and I touched the back, but I unexpectedly found some regular concave and convex patterns on the wall......

What is it?

When I turned my head, it looked like a strange picture, but it didn't seem to be ......

The water vapor on the walls of the cave has eroded most of the surface in mottled manner, and it is pitted.

Mu Qingyang hurriedly wiped it vigorously with his coat, because he had a hunch that if he could see that pattern clearly, he could solve the problem that he couldn't summon the Dragon's Spirit.

As she wiped, a wonderful picture appeared in front of her, a barefoot girl was sitting by the stream and deep in thought, with a huge leopard lying next to her, and a bobcat licking her calf at her feet, but the surroundings were very familiar, and look again...... It turned out to be next to the mountain stream he had just passed!

In the upper right corner of the mural, there is an ancient poem carved in the seal, and Mu Qingyang saw that it was written in a small seal. Fortunately, I usually have nothing to do, I like to look at pictures of various calligraphy works on the Internet, but I have learned a lot of ancient fonts by self-study.

Reading it word by word, it was the famous "Nine Songs. Mountain Ghosts.

It seems that the picture is a fragment of the mountain ghost in the legend, and then it reminds him of one thing, all say that the mountain ghost is synonymous with the ancient mountain god, and another says that it is the incarnation of the goddess of Wushan, in short, it is also the role of a demon king. Now that the image of this guy is here, does this weird cave have anything to do with her?

The Dragons are also the remnants of Jiuli inherited from ancient times, and it is said that they are the subordinates of the ancient great witch Chiyou, who are in charge of the elves and monsters in the mountains and fields, so this mountain ghost is also not involved with our clan?

I don't know if it's because I'm worried about it now, Mu Qingyang actually thinks about this mural!
