Chapter 19: Corpse Rock Grass
"Second uncle, look, then, the village is gone." Hou Bin's eyes widened, and he pointed to the disappeared village. Since Hou Bin arrived in this village, he has always felt strange about this village and the old man he met, many places are not in line with common sense, but he has never been able to solve this mystery, this village suddenly disappeared, for Hou Bin, it is not strange to say. At this time, the psychology of the monkey next to him is basically the same as Hou Bin.
But the second uncle had a normal face, just a symbolic glance back, and then chatted with them about the ins and outs of the old man and the village as he walked.
It turned out that Hou Bin had finished feeding the monkey medicine the first day, and the old man called the second uncle outside and told the second uncle everything. This old man is a thousand-year-old king, as I mentioned before. But those two children are actually just a trick to the thousand-year-old king, and there are no two children at all. The purpose of the Millennium Ginseng King was to attract Hou Bin and two people to save his other kind, a hundred-year-old ginseng, that is, the one trapped in the mountains by the stone formation.
It turned out that three years ago, two ginseng pickers came to this mountain, and one of these two people was not only a ginseng picker, but also some illusions. At that time, the two found this ginseng that was less than 100 years old on the mountain, and they were surprised and regretful. The surprise is that ginseng for so many years is very rare, and a professional ginseng picker may not be able to meet one or two in his life. Sadly, based on his own experience, this man found that this ginseng was less than 100 years old at that time. It would be a pity if you took it directly, but if you continue to raise it, you are afraid that you will have many dreams at night. Even if it is not poached by others, this ginseng will run away by itself.
After careful consideration, the man finally decided to keep it and wait for a hundred years before coming back to get it. In order to prevent the ginseng from running away on its own, the ginseng was tied with one end of a red rope and tied to a locust stick at the other end, so that the ginseng would not run away. The problem of ginseng escaping on its own is solved, but what if someone hits this and finds this ginseng? Although there are very few people on this mountain, just in case, this person has placed a ghostly and blind-covering formation near here, that is, the formation of the stone formation. Even if a normal person passes by here, they can't see everything here, only some ordinary trees.
And the reason why Hou Bin and the monkey were able to find this place was because the thousand-year-old King Shen led the way and walked in, otherwise they would not be able to see it. Although the thousand-year-old King can find here, he doesn't dare to get close to this formation, if he gets too close to this formation, he will easily be trapped inside and unable to get out. Therefore, there is no way to participate in the thousand-year-old king, so he used such a strategy to deceive Hou Bin and the two of them to help him break this formation.
Hou Bin and the monkey suddenly realized at this time, and the doubts they had before were finally opened.
The three of them chatted and chatted before they arrived at the Nightmare Crying Cave. This time, the second uncle dealt with the nightmare crying alone, and Hou Bin was responsible for covering the monkey's nightmare crying tendons. In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, the three of them came out of the cave carrying two bundles of weeping tendons, and took a deep breath, this station was over, and they felt that they were one step closer to the Purple Scale Toad King.
It is said that the three of them got the weeping tendons and rushed back to Hades Mountain. By the time we arrived at Hadeson Mountain, it was already getting dark. Lao Wu and Laixi have been very bored here for the past two days, and when they saw that the second uncle and they were back, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. The second uncle briefly inquired about the situation in the past two days, and learned that there was nothing abnormal, so he gave them a task, that is, when the second uncle and they went to find the red heel blood and the corpse rock grass again, they began to weave the nightmare crying net with the weeping tendons, and when they came back, these things were all ready, and they could prepare to go to the Ghost Fang Valley to find the Purple Scale Toad King.
A few people had eaten, and the second uncle wanted Hou Bin and the monkey to rest early, and the next day he had to go to the North Styx Mountain to find the red blood and corpse rock grass. But these two boys don't rest when they should rest, and they don't love when they should start work, especially the experiences of the two of them in the wild in the past two days, if they don't let them say it and show off, they won't be able to sleep at all. Seeing the second uncle lying down, the two of them shared some of the strange stories they encountered on this trip to Wild Children's Ridge with Laixi and Lao Wu.
In fact, these people who run ghosts like to share some bizarre and strange things they encounter with each other. In addition to allowing each other to spend time, more importantly, this can be regarded as sharing some of each other's experience, this road has been going on for a long time, maybe something strange will happen, not to mention the second uncle, even experienced veterans like Hou Xuehai and Ma Shicheng, they don't dare to say that they have encountered any strange things.
Several people chatted enthusiastically, even the fifth child who usually doesn't like to talk, took the initiative to ask some questions from time to time, this chat came late at night, and a few people didn't look at the sky early, and if they didn't rest, the second uncle would definitely scold them when he woke up.
In a blink of an eye, the next morning, the second uncle packed up the things that should be taken, and took Hou Bin and the monkey to the North Styx Mountain. The North Styx Mountain is in the north of the Hades Mountain, the mountain is not far from the Hades Mountain, not as big as the Hades Mountain, it was originally called the North Hades Mountain, but it was called a little rap, and then it was simply called the North Hades Mountain. This mountain is similar to the Wild Child Ridge, the mountain is full of trees, and it is not as desolate as Hades Gate.
It was almost noon when the three of them arrived at the North Styx Mountain, and a few people rested for a while and began to go up the mountain to find the Red Heel Cave. When they were in Wild Child Ridge, Hou Bin and the two ran out to play in the middle of the night, and they ran into the thousand-year-old ginseng king, and the thousand-year-old ginseng king showed the way, otherwise they would have gone to find it without purpose. But this time it wasn't necessarily that lucky. There is no one living in this area, and there is nowhere to inquire if you want to.
The three of them searched for three days on the mountain, but they couldn't find where the cave was. Hou Bin and the monkey are both about to collapse, not to mention not to sleep well at night, but also to feed the mosquitoes, the mosquitoes in this mountain are much more ferocious than the ones at home, a bite is a big bag, not an ordinary itch, not down for several days, it is really a pack of unflat, a pack and up. Usually, when they are fine, the three of them are like Monkey King, scratching their ears and cheeks.
Although he didn't find the cave in the past few days, the second uncle didn't find nothing. He noticed that there were a lot of bats flying out of the mountain at night. Bats usually live in crevices in rocks, or in old houses that no one lives in. But if there are caves, they prefer to choose caves as their habitat. Bats are nocturnal creatures that are diurnal and nocturnal. It is precisely based on this that the second uncle has been paying attention to the direction of these bats' flight in the morning for the past two days, and has been looking for Hou Bin and Hou Bin in this direction. Sure enough, the second uncle's method was correct, and finally on the afternoon of the fifth day, the second uncle found a cave on the west side of the North Styx Mountain.
The second uncle decided to go first to see, if it was a small cave, there would definitely be no red heels, but if the cave was deeper, then it would basically be determined. It's still the old way, the second uncle took a flashlight and walked in front with a crossbody bag on his back, and Hou Bin followed behind with a torch. The three of them hadn't walked far before they felt a burst of cool breath rushing from inside.
The second uncle cautiously took the flashlight everywhere as he walked. Red weeping and weeping are not the same, weeping are piles of people living in one place, and before you can even notice them, they will already tell you in their voices how far away they are from you, where they are. But the red heel usually likes to be alone, and occasionally there are two or three together, and when they are fine, they are very quiet, and they like to lie still in one place. The color of their bodies is not very conspicuous, their whole body is black and gray, and in this dark hole, find an inconspicuous corner and lie still, even if it is in front of your eyes, if you don't pay attention to it, you can't see it.
The second uncle was walking in front of him, and suddenly stopped, originally Hou Bin and the others were more nervous in this dark hole, and the second uncle stopped this time, and suddenly became even more nervous, thinking that he had found a red heel, so he hurriedly bent his waist and widened his eyes. At this time, I saw the second uncle shining a flashlight on a corner and said, "See? That's the Corpse Rock Grass. As soon as the two of them heard that it was corpse rock grass, their hearts relaxed a little.
Hou Bin looked at the place where the flashlight was shining, and after looking at it for a long time, he saw that the corpse rock grass looked a bit like a fungus, it looked a little like Ganoderma lucidum, and it was long and black. Originally, Hou Bin thought that this thing was like grass outside, with green leaves, but he didn't expect that even this thing was pitch black.
At this time, Hou Bin said: "Then the monkey and I will go to collect the corpse rock grass first, right?" ”
At this time, the second uncle pulled out an evil sword from behind him and handed it to Hou Bin, and then held the other one in his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry to pick the corpse rock grass first, since you have found the corpse rock grass, I estimate that this red heel should not be far away." After that, the second uncle asked Hou Bin and the others to light the torch, and when it was critical, this torch could be held for a while, and the red foot was also more afraid of fire.
The two of them hurriedly lit the torches and followed the second uncle to walk cautiously behind. After looking around here for a long time, he didn't find the shadow of the red heel, and the second uncle asked the monkey to pick the corpse rock grass, and then the two of them guarded by the side. You can't take it lightly here, and although you can't find the red heel after looking around, you can't guarantee that it won't suddenly pop out of somewhere.
"Second uncle, how much do you want to pick?" The monkey asked.
The second uncle took out a pre-prepared bag from his crossbody bag, and then found another pair of gloves and handed it to the monkey, "Half a bag is enough, remember not to let your hands touch the corpse rock grass, otherwise it will be more painful than letting mosquitoes bite." ”
The monkey was a little scared when he heard it, although he had gloves to prevent it, but if he accidentally touched it, would it be very troublesome, thinking of this monkey and asked the second uncle: "Then, what will happen if I accidentally touch it, will my hands rot?" ”
I didn't want the second uncle to laugh out loud when he heard this, "No, it will make you itchy and itchy, even if you don't deal with it, you will get better in two days." ”
As soon as he heard the second uncle say this, the monkey put on his gloves and began to carefully collect corpse rock grass. Seeing that the corpse rock grass was almost picked, at this time, a sound similar to the roar of a beast suddenly came.
