Picking up the yellow cloth bag and bringing the yin and yang rice, the four of us went out in the night and rushed towards the back mountain of the Gu village......

Fei Sanniang told us that the mountain behind this Gu clan is called Grass Ghost Mountain, because it was rumored that there were mandrills in this mountain before liberation, so over time, people called it Grass Ghost Mountain.

This mountain is very big, as far as the eye can see, you can't see the edge at a glance, in this night, this grass ghost mountain is like a real black and oppressive devil, across the rear of the Gu clan.

Grass Ghost Mountain is a primeval forest, the woods in the mountain are luxuriant, it is a large mountain range, if you enter the mountain, if you don't have an acquaintance to lead the way, it is very easy to get lost and can't turn out.

When I heard that this grass ghost mountain was so big, I was worried: "With such a big mountain, which one should you go up to find mandrills?" ”

Fei Sanniang smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, there is a valley in this grass ghost mountain, this valley is called grass ghost valley, there is a cave in the grass ghost valley, called grass ghost cave, it is said that the mandrill lives in the grass ghost cave." As long as we arrive at the Grass Ghost Valley and release the yin and yang rice, we will definitely be able to lure the mandrill out. ”

"Oh? So is that grass ghost cave far from here? I asked.

"It's not too far, it's a ten-mile mountain road into the mountains, and it doesn't take an hour." Fei Sanniang said.

Soon, we entered the mountains, which were densely wooded and there was only a small mountain road, which was difficult to walk, especially in such a night.

At this time, there is a full moon hanging in the sky, so that you can't see the mountain road clearly. The mountains are cooler than outside, and the temperature is a little cooler, especially when the cool mountain breeze blows, sometimes it makes people shiver. Fei Sanniang led the way, we followed closely, the four of them didn't say much, everyone's heart was not easy, because this time it was my life, if I couldn't take the straw hat of the mandrill, then the golden silkworm Gu would attack in seven days, and I would only have to die.

My heart is also cloudy, I am not afraid of death, but I can't let go of it. I still have a lot of things to do in this world, and I still have a lot of unwillingness, I haven't felt family affection in my life, I haven't felt love in my life, and I don't want to die. I can't let go of Yang Qing, and I can't let go of my grandfather.

Thinking about sad things in my heart, I don't know how long I have been walking with Fei Sanniang, and I don't know how far I have walked, I only know that my legs are a little tired, at this time Fei Sanniang stopped, pointed ahead and said, "Here it is, this is the Grass Ghost Valley." ”

"Oh? Has it arrived? "I retracted my thoughts, looked around, and saw that we had entered a valley, with two hills rising on either side, and in the middle of it was a low-lying place, which was relatively flat, overgrown with grass, and with few trees.

After walking more than ten meters forward, I found a piece of flat land, and I said to them, just choose this place to lure out the mandrills!

After saying that, I put the bowl of yin-yang rice on the ground, and removed the other bowl that was poured on top of the rice, so that the aroma of yin-yang rice wafted away.

Yin and Yang rice is actually a bowl of cold rice, for ordinary people, there is no taste of rice, but for mandrills, it can be smelled within a hundred miles.

After doing this, I threw the yellow cloth bag to him and said to him, "It's up to you!" ”

"Don't worry, I can't guarantee that I will subdue evil spirits and worship ghosts, but if I want to use Qimen Technique to trap them, it is not a problem." After speaking, Chen Xianyi took out eight small yellow flags from the yellow cloth bag, and then inserted them around the yin-yang rice, forming a trend of encircling the yin-yang rice.

Before we came, we had a discussion about how to take down the mandrill if we drew it out. At that time, I had no choice but to use yin-yang to subdue it. However, Fei Sanniang did not suggest that we deal with it like this, she meant that first, we would offend it, and second, if there was a conflict, we didn't know who would take whose life.

Hearing Fei Sanniang's words, we asked her if she had a good solution. After all, after luring the mandrill out, if you don't use hard means to lower it, how can you get your hands on its straw hat.

Later, Fei Sanniang told us that although this mandrill can charm and harm people, it often steals other people's things. But it is very polite, stealing other people's pots and pans, and later carrying treasures to thank you.

However, if you offend it, then you will be very unlucky. Someone deceived the mandrill, so he used paper paste some pots and pans, but the mandrill stole back to cook the rice and burned it all at once, and the person who deceived the mandrill died very miserably.

Speaking of this, Fei Sanniang said that the mandrill is said to be able to speak human language, and if we discuss it well, we may be able to get its straw hat without using our hands. On the contrary, once we do it, not only will it be difficult to get the straw hat, but we may also be in danger.

Hearing this, we have the current strategy, first let Chen Xianyi use the Qimen technique to lay a formation called "Mountain Sealing Technique" on the periphery of the Yin and Yang Rice, and wait for the mountain mandrill to be drawn out, we will discuss it well, if it is willing to lend me the straw hat, then it is easy to say, if it is unwilling, we have to urge the "Mountain Sealing Technique", trap it in the formation, and force it to take it in time.

With all the preparations done, we ducked into a small bush a few meters away and began to wait quietly for the mandrill to appear.

Hiding in the small bushes, we didn't dare to make a sound, and in an instant the whole valley fell silent, and only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard in our ears.

The night is getting thicker and thicker, looking up at the moon high overhead, the moonlight is white at this time, sprinkled all over the mountains and rivers, and it is obvious that it is the middle of the night at this time.

Time passed minute by minute, and I became more and more unconfident in my heart, to be honest, Fei Sanniang only heard that the local method of yin and yang rice can attract mandrills, as for whether it can really attract it, no one knows, after all, Fei Sanniang has never said that anyone has done this.

If the mandrill is brought out, we can't deal with it, we can't get its straw hat, this is also the will of God, we can only blame ourselves for not having that destiny, and we can't complain about people. But if the mandrill can't be attracted, then it's really unwilling.

I was very anxious in my heart, and I silently prayed that the mandrill would appear soon.

More than an hour passed in the bushes, and there was still no movement in the entire valley. Not to mention mandrills, not even a mountain ghost has been seen. In addition to the whirring mountain wind blowing from time to time, there was only the chirping of night birds, insects and beasts, which kept chattering, which made the already anxious and restless heart even more upset.

After waiting for another half an hour, I really had no patience at this time, and I had to get up and scold this stinky mandrill for not coming.

But just when I was about to get up and scold my mother, Fei Sanniang on the side suddenly pressed my shoulder, and then hurriedly made a "shhh

I was about to ask her what she was doing, when she pointed out the edge of the grove and motioned for me to look over.

As soon as I saw her expression, I was stunned, and I vaguely guessed that she must have found something, so I quickly and carefully looked outside the small bush, and then I was startled, because there was something outside the bush!

As for why something came up, it was because it was still a little far away, and I couldn't see what it was. We could only see a dark figure walking towards us fifty meters in front of us, but we couldn't tell if it was a ghost, a human, or an animal.

At this time, the four of us were highly nervous, and looked at the black shadow vigilantly. The shadows didn't seem to notice that we were hiding in the bushes, so they came slowly. Soon, it finally came to us a few meters away, and the direction it went was the place where the yin and yang rice was placed.

Seeing this, we all faintly felt in our hearts that this thing might be a mandrill.

We stared at the black shadow that was walking towards the Yin-Yang Rice step by step, and stopped when it reached the position of the Yin-Yang Rice. At this time, we can all be sure that the person who came must be a mandrill.

At this time, it was already very close, but four or five meters away, the white moonlight sprinkled on its body, we fixed our eyes and were shocked, only to see that it was a person!

Yes, although this person can't see his face clearly, he is indeed a person. Looks like an old man, dressed in yellow and wearing a straw hat, what else would this be?

At that moment, the four of us were stunned, and said in our hearts, why did we run out of one person?

Several of them were also puzzled, and Fei Sanniang whispered, "Could this be the mandrill?" ”

We looked at each other in disbelief, although Fei Sanniang's words made me not believe it, but thinking that this is a big deep mountain after all, and it is the middle of the night, it is indeed impossible for ordinary people to run here. Thinking of this, I hurriedly opened the eye of heaven, and then looked at the old man in front of me, and found that this old man was really not a normal person.

Tianyan is also called Huiyan, and as I said before, there are three common breaths that open Tianyan, angry, yin, and evil. Normal people and ordinary small animals usually appear orange red in the observation of the eye of the sky, and there is also a halo, which is also called Haoguang (yang fire). If it is a monk who has attained the Tao, a real person and a variety of spirit beasts, it will often show fiery red or purple, some evil beasts or animals that cultivate immortals, will also appear orange in the eyes of heaven, but the scattered color is relatively dim, and there is no halo, and those who have cultivated into a real body will show light yellow, these are collectively called "angry", wild ghosts are white in the eyes of heaven, evil ghosts and resentful spirits are mostly gray in the eyes of heaven, and there are also black, these are collectively called yin, in short, the darker the color, the more difficult to entangle; Then there is the evil spirit, which is mostly cyan and a little blue-headed.

Seeing this, I immediately understood that this old man was not a human, but an animal that cultivated immortals
