Chapter 1: Mengshan in Distress (Final Revised Version)
Gushan Village, located in the hinterland of Mengshan Mountain on the border of Yunnan, because the fog in the mountains does not disperse all year round, and there are often villagers who see the crane-haired old man dressed in white sitting by the stream to fish in the early morning, and then disappear mysteriously, it has been rumored for a long time, so it has the name of ghost village.
During the Jiaqing period, legend has it that a master traveled here, he said that this place is located in the land of the dragon's mouth, the aura gathers, and it is a place of practice, so he stayed, and this residence is more than 100 years.
As the saying goes, it is only a few days in the mountains, the world has been a thousand years, the master finally sat into an immortal, the local villagers in order to commemorate him, they took the mountain spirit stone Qingwang jade to shape his true body, placed in the temple to worship, in order to seek the protection of the gods.
However, the world is impermanent, and in the second year of this master's transformation into an immortal, the villagers disappeared one after another, and people were panicked for a while.
It is rumored in the village that it is because of the departure of the masters, which caused the evil spirits in the forest to come out and make trouble again, and the villagers believed it to be true, and came to the temple to burn incense and pray for the immortals to go down to the earth to eliminate the demons, but in the end to no avail, the villagers had to leave the place where their ancestors had lived for generations with their families, and they never came back.
Gushan Village gradually declined, and eventually became a deserted village.
Decades later, Zhang Mosheng followed a group of Tufuzi to the border area of Yunnan to find ancient tombs, and in order to avoid the search of border guards, he accidentally broke into a primeval forest.
The mountain road is rugged and covered with weeds, and it is really difficult to walk an inch under his feet, Zhang Mosheng walked at the back of the team with a basket of explosives soaked in rain and sighed, he looked sad, and he only thought that he could find a good fighter as soon as possible, and touch a few bright weapons well, so that he could prove his ability, and in addition, he could buy a house and land and marry a daughter-in-law with money.
The sun is in the west, and clouds are coming.
"Xiao Zhang, what are you doing with your head hanging all day?" Li Laohan asked him as he walked.
"Brother Li, it's been a few months since our brothers came out, and they haven't caught anything, so let's go back and let the old ducks laugh at them." This is Liu Si with glasses.
"Don't shout, a few of us are not in a good position, when we meet the mountain thunder and sweep the ground, there is no way to hide in Tibet, the important thing at the moment is to get out of this forest first." The bald Chen is the eldest brother here, and no one dares to refute his words.
Everyone was silent and continued to walk forward, the bald Chen slowed down and walked side by side with Zhang Mosheng, who was left behind. This operation was planned by him, and the person was also selected by himself, and in his opinion, this twenty-year-old young man is the most promising one of the young people of this generation.
"Xiao Zhang, it's a little unlucky to encounter this kind of thing when you come out for the first time, don't mind."
Zhang Mosheng looked up at the lead cloud above his head and said, "Boss, it's going to rain, there should be a village not far ahead, let's go over there to avoid the rain, otherwise there will be trouble." ”
The bald Chen also looked up at the sky, the dark clouds were overwhelming, and the place was located in the hinterland of the rainforest, and the atmosphere became extremely weird. He shouted to the front, "Hurry up, everyone, let's go to the village ahead to take shelter from the rain." ”
The rumbling thunder followed, and the group quickened their pace in the direction of the village.
Suddenly, Boss Wu, who was walking in the front, screamed, and the whole person disappeared in a flash. Then I heard a strange cry that went straight into the sky, and the sound was sharp and piercing, not like a beast in the mountains.
"Help." Liu Si, who wore glasses, lay on the edge of the mountain road and screamed loudly.
Zhang Mosheng and the others immediately quickened their pace to the accident site, but it was too late, when they arrived, Boss Wu had long since disappeared, and only one of his shoes was left on the edge of the cliff.
The people on the edge of the cliff were frightened by his action, and the bald Chen was even more angry, pointing to the person closest to Zhang Mosheng and scolding: "You kid eats, why don't you stop him." ”
The man was thin and tall, looking weak, he was already trembling and frightened, but at this time he was scolded by the bald head Chen, his legs were weak and he immediately knelt on the ground, looked at the vast jungle tremblingly, suddenly screamed, and jumped off the cliff.
Everyone was stunned by his action, even the scolding bald Chen was startled, slumped on the edge of the cliff, looking at the dense forest at the bottom of the cliff with a pale face, extreme fear made him lose his instinctive thinking, and his eyes were dull like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Zhang Mosheng regretted it after jumping down, because there was no direction at all, and the thick swamp told him that this was a no-man's land, and everything could only depend on luck.
According to Zhang Mosheng's inference, Boss Wu should have slipped off the cliff, it stands to reason that no matter whether he lives or dies, the person should be within a radius of three meters in the dense forest under the cliff, but he searched all over and found no trace of Boss Wu, and he didn't see anyone alive or dead.
When the rain came, he quickened his pace through the woods, and from time to time he made a secret signal with a whistle, hoping that his companion would find him by the whistle.
Zhang Mosheng "greeted" God while walking, and before he knew it, it was the middle of the night, he seemed to see a little fire not far away, and he was a young man who had never known what it meant to be afraid, wiped the rain on his face and walked towards the firelight.
Walking and walking, he felt that something was wrong, the firelight seemed to be deliberately leading him, after Zhang Mosheng stood still, he took out his jade pendant from his waist, held the jade pendant high above his head, and said sharply: "Where is the ghost, wait for the hurry and leave." ”
Not to mention, this trick is really effective, as soon as the words fell, the jumping firelight really disappeared, and after a while, the thick fog dispersed, and everything returned to normal.
Zhang Mosheng sat cross-legged until ten o'clock at dawn, when he heard a whistle coming, three long and one short, which was the distress code they had agreed upon.
Follow the whistle all the way to the north, walk for about ten minutes to see a man standing in front of a big tree with his back to him, what is even more strange is that this person keeps hitting the trunk with his head, every time he hits, there will be a whistle, and the last short tone is from the other direction, listening to the movement should not be far away.
Zhang Mosheng quietly walked in the direction of the man who hit the tree, and sure enough, he saw another companion, he was squatting in the grass, holding a big stone with both hands and hitting something hard, every time he knocked it, a short whistle sounded, and at the same time, streams of bright red blood splashed out.
Just when he wanted to go over to stop it, he suddenly felt someone behind him pulling his clothes, and at the same time, a faint voice said, "Xiao Zhang, don't go, don't go." ”
Zhang Mosheng heard that this was Boss Wu's voice, and immediately turned around, however, what he saw was a bloody corpse.
He was not afraid of this, gently lifted the head of the corpse, and said, "Brother Wu, you can go in peace, I know what to do." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a whirlwind on the ground, and Zhang Mosheng whispered to the whirlwind: "Don't delay, let's go, I'll be fine, don't worry." ”
The whirlwind suddenly stopped, and everything was calm.
Two months later, Zhang Mosheng walked out of the forest alone, and on the way back, he dreamed that Boss Wu was standing in front of him, and his eyes kept bleeding out.
