Just as I was getting close to the stone sheep, I suddenly saw that the stone sheep's eyes were wrong.

There is no reflection of the evil spirit that Yang Ming said, but on the stone sheep's eyes, each has a little dazzling bright red, which is very eye-catching.

What the hell is this?

Yang Ming didn't say anything about this stubble, what is this red thing?

I didn't want to look into its eyes, trying to stay away from the evil stuff, but the red on its stone eyes was too conspicuous for you to control. I subconsciously took a deep look and suddenly recognized it.

It's cinnabar.

In an instant, I understood where the cinnabar in its eyes came from, it must have been made by Zhou Xuanye, he often made talismans when he had nothing to do, and in the bag he carried, cinnabar and vermilion pen were indispensable, and he liked to practice when he had nothing to do.

In addition, Zhou Xuanye also told me about the finishing touch. This story is known to all, in ancient times, he drew a dragon, but he did not draw eyes, and when people asked why, he said: Once you draw eyes on the dragon, the dragon will come back to life. The crowd didn't believe it, so he put the finishing touch to the dragon, and sure enough, the dragon broke through the air on the mural.

Historically, when consecrating things such as statues in rituals, there has been a ritual of taking a pen to point the eyes of the statues. The eye is the place where the light of the human god dwells, and the idol has no spirit if the eye is not opened. Some ornaments that have been incense for many years are also easy to cultivate evil spirits, such as the story of 'pottery people call souls' told me by Zhou Xuanye.

It is said that in the early years of the Republic of China, there was a dilapidated village in Huainan with dozens of families.

There is a custom of inviting dolls, divided into male dolls and female dolls, and if you want to add men to your family, you will invite a few male doll potters; If you want to give birth to a daughter, pinch a female doll potter. At that time, people were very feudal, and almost every household was pinching male babies.

However, there was one family in that village that was an exception, they did not invite dolls, but there was a potter ornament of a female doll in the house, which was covered with dust. It is said that the ancestors of this family were rich and noble.

In ancient times, most of the people were begging for a living in the soil, and the birth of a male could inherit the family business, and also be able to do farm work and increase production. On the contrary, people with good conditions are not so obsessed with men, and most people with good conditions want to have both children and daughters.

The ancestors of that family had a lot of money, and they gave birth to several men, but they didn't have a daughter, so they especially wanted to have a daughter, so they invited a female potter. Later, after several changes, it also became a dilapidated household, but the female potter inadvertently retained it and rolled down in the middle of the house, unknown.

This is also a matter of more than 200 years, at that time, the house and land, from generation to generation, are ancestral houses, unlike now, new houses generally live for fifty or sixty years, basically will encounter urban planning and demolition, it is difficult to have old houses left.

The female pottery baby, in the corner of the old house for more than 200 years, when she was first invited, she had worshiped God, and in the past two hundred years, by the surrounding incense, it has gradually become an evil thing. Of course, the family didn't know about it, but strange things began to happen in the village one after another.

The children in the village, one after another, and the symptoms are the same, sleepwalking, not only sleepwalking, but also dreaming a few times, they will become idiots.

For a while, the people in the village were panicked, and later some parents found out that their children were sleepwalking and were broken, and followed their children in the middle of the night. As soon as someone follows him, the child will soon wake up from sleepwalking, and you have to ask him what he dreamed of, and the dreams they had were all the same, and they dreamed that a little girl called them by their names and asked them out to play.

What do you play?

The child is very shy to say that he is playing and kissing.

When the experienced old man heard this, he was shocked: "There must be some evil thing doing it, so where is the kiss, it is clearly sucking people's brains!" At that moment, the people in the village found a Taoist priest who could exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts. The Taoist priest also had two brushes, and quickly found the problem, and directly found the troubled female pottery baby out of the trouble.

The villagers were angry and said that they had smashed this thing, and the Taoist priest said: "This evil thing has opened its wisdom, and I am not good enough, if I smash it, it will find something else to live in." The villagers asked what to do, and the Taoist priest thought about it again and again, and said that it would be enough to seal the evil thing in the pottery and make it impossible for it to come out and make trouble, and then find a place to bury it, and never see the light of day.

At night, the thing will wander around, and only during the day can it be used. In the daytime, the Taoist priest took the red pen, occupied the cinnabar, and painted the talisman in the air, and finally the red pen pointed on the eyes of the female potter, sealing the divine light and sealing the evil thing.

Later, the villagers buried the things in a deep slope and called the place Taowapo.

Cinnabar, recorded in the "Book of Scriptures", can: nourish the spirit, calm the soul, benefit the qi, and brighten the eyes. In Taoism, cinnabar has always been known as a weapon to drive away evil spirits, and the charm is used to draw cinnabar, and the Taoist priest is using cinnabar to seal the aura of the pottery baby and suppress the evil things.

At this moment, the thing in front of me with a sheep's head was suddenly lit with cinnabar on his eyes, and I don't have to guess to know that it must be Zhou Xuanye who suppressed this evil thing.

Suddenly, I felt refreshed, but I only felt that Zhou Xuanye was too awesome. Yang Ming was so frightened that he ran away, but he used a red pen to calm down the stone sheep. Now I became much more courageous, so I stopped looking at the stone sheep and walked around it.

There are no yellow sheep in the back, but there are some bones, like the bones of some animal, thinking of what Yang Ming said, I can't help but guess, is there any monster living in this cave? Did the four members of the engineering team have an accident here?

The stone sheep outside is obviously placed here, what is the point of it?

The stone statues have all risen out of the evil aura, which means that this cave has been around for quite some time.

Just as I was puzzled, I suddenly heard a voice. The sound was just like what Yang Ming described, like the sound of the wind passing through a large cave, and like the roar of some kind of large creature, like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, which was terrifying.

With this sound, in the darkness ahead, there was a sudden gust of wind, and it seemed that something was rushing towards me. Yang Ming also described this situation, I was mentally prepared, but I couldn't run like Yang Ming, because I knew that I couldn't run, and if I ran, I might end up in a coma like Yang Ming for a day and a night.

These thoughts flashed through my mind, and I held the dagger across my chest and stared at the front, not daring to breathe. At that moment, a dark figure burst out of the darkness, lightning fast, and slammed into me. It was so fast that I didn't even see what it looked like, but I was prepared, and I didn't fight hard, and immediately turned to one side the moment it rushed over, and at the same time, the dagger in my hand stabbed at the black shadow from top to bottom.

That thing came quite quickly, this stab, I felt like I was stabbed, but the impact was completely added to my arm holding the dagger, and in an instant the pain of my whole arm twitched, and I took off directly, and the whole person was shocked and took a step back.

And the thing was stabbed by me, and it also stopped, and fell to the ground. When I looked at it, I realized that it was a thing with long hands and legs, a short neck and a triangular head, covered with long black hair, and looked like a deformed monkey.

It barely had a neck, its inverted triangular head followed by its body and shrugged shoulders, its two slender hands hung straight down to its knees, and its feet were equally slender and its body was slumped, not to mention how strange it was.

My dagger happened to be stabbed at about the waist, and the guy was in pain and reached for the dagger around his waist.

I used to flip through the idle books in Zhou Xuanye's room, and I seemed to have seen something similar in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there were too many contents in it, I don't remember the name of that thing, it was recorded, it seemed to grow in the West Mountain, good at escaping the snow, it is said that it can walk through the snow, and pull living creatures into the snow when hunting, so that it can die.

The scope of the West Mountain is very large, generally referring to the area of the Kunlun Mountains in the west, plus walking in the snow, which is very consistent with the environment in front of me, I suspect that this thing should be the thing recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas. It's a pity that there are too many aliases for things recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and I can't remember the specific names.

According to the description in the book, this thing lives in groups, so will there be a ...... in this cave?

I shuddered from giving it a chance to react, and as it went to pull out the dagger, I pulled another dagger from its thigh, this time straight at its neck. This thing is probably used to being rampant in the snowy mountains, and I have never encountered such a fierce resistance, and I immediately cut my neck and bled out.

To be honest, it was the first time I had dealt with something this big, and as soon as the dagger slashed over, a burst of fishy blood shot straight into my face, not to mention how disgusting. The thing made a strange scream, similar to the whistling sound, only much smaller.

Immediately afterward, he fell to the ground bloody.

I was a little glad that I pulled out the dagger from its waist and inserted it back into the leg on the other side, and several experiences made me realize the importance of weapons, and I bought four daggers alone. Wiping the blood from my face, I realized that the whistling sound I knew so well that the inside of this cavern might be the lair of such a thing.

Tan Jian and the two went in?

Can they handle it?

Looking at the corpse on the ground, the smell of blood became even stronger, and the blood that could not be completely wiped off on the face looked even slimier. I took a deep breath, knowing that I had no choice, no matter how much danger there was in front of me, it was impossible for me to retreat, let alone ignore Zhou Xuanye and the others.

In order to deal with the next danger, I pulled out the telescopic stick for self-defense, stuck one section at a time, took it into a stick about one meter long, held it in my hand, pinned the flashlight to my waist, made sure that its light always shone forward, and began to continue walking.

The only sound of my footsteps remained in the cave, and although there was no snow here, the temperature was lower than outside, and it was indescribably cold. (.)
