Chapter 4 Di Village Rescues the Girl
The mountain road was rugged, but the five of them had all practiced, which was nothing, and soon the sun was rising, and they found a relatively flat place to rest. "Brother Feng, you said that the old man wouldn't lie to us, where does the barren mountains and mountains look like someone lives here?" The horse monkey was a little anxious.
"You monkey is anxious, don't blame the horse monkey." Dongzi said as she drank the water she brought out of the small inn. "Young Master Feng, you guys are here to rectify a little, Ah Tao and I will take a look around, can we find any clues." Zhou Yuefeng nodded, Ah Ming and Ah Tao walked towards the woods, and the three of them continued to rest in place.
There were probably a few cigarettes that passed. "It's been so long, why haven't the two of them come back yet?" Dongzi asked. "Let's go look for it, don't something happen, there's a weird yin and yang here." The horse monkey got up and was about to clean up the guys. At this time, there was movement in the grass, and it was Ah Tao who came back. "Young Master Feng, I don't know what it is in front, you go over and take a look, Ah Ming is guarding."
"Let's go, then." As soon as the horse monkey heard that there was movement, it was better than nothing, and the four of them quickly rushed to the place guarded by Ah Ming under the leadership of Ah Tao, only to see that there was a lake, but the strange thing was that they actually saw that this lake was "burning".
The horse monkey rubbed his eyes, "Oh,, it's not that my eyes are spent, it's too evil." At this time, Zhou Yuefeng didn't know what was going on, he took out the Qiankun bag, took out a piece of yellow paper from it, wrote a talisman in cinnabar, and then threw it out of thin air, lit it, and opened the psychic eye, but he didn't see any wronged souls.
"Huh?" The four of them were shocked by Zhou Yuefeng's voice, after all, Zhou Yuefeng was also a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, and he had never seen anything. "Brother Feng, what's wrong?" Dongzi asked with some concern. "The fire here seems to be very 'natural', not something to blame."
Ma Monkey and the younger brothers have experienced Zhou Yuefeng's skills, and in this case, they know what he said, that is the truth. Dongzi also seems to have a feeling of trust in him inexplicably. "Young Master Feng, this has been incompatible with water and fire since ancient times, but how can there be a fire in this large body of water?" Ah Ming turned around and asked Zhou Yuefeng.
Just when a few people were struggling, suddenly the fire seemed to have grown legs, quickly "swimming" in the water in the direction away from them, and slowly disappeared at the end of the water, "Brother Feng, I'm not dreaming, am I?" Did you see a fire just now? The horse monkey asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Let's go, let's continue looking for Beidi." Ma Mingyuan looked at Zhou Yuefeng's unsatisfactory answer, and stopped. Zhou Yuefeng looked at the calm lake, and could only lead everyone to continue to look for the lost village. Seeing that night was about to fall, the surroundings gradually became quieter, and the dense woods were suffocating in the darkness of the night.
After walking for a day, although the feet of several people are usually abused by training, they are also sore after this day's trek. "Everyone, where is this Beidi, I can't move a single step with my feet. Oops~~" The horse monkey lay on the ground and sprinkled.
"Don't talk!" Zhou Yuefeng lowered his voice and said. This action made the other four people present fall into absolute silence. The horse monkey also cheered up. "Brother Feng, what did you hear?" Dongzi asked quietly. "Shh~~!" Zhou Yuefeng made a silent movement, and then slowly moved his body forward.
At this time, everyone heard a girl's cry. In the middle of the night, still in this ancient dense forest, there can be a girl's cry, and I know with my heels that this is not a ghost. Except for Zhou Yuefeng, a person who often deals with ghosts and gods, the other four people all had a cool breeze on their backs, trembling and not daring to make a sound.
Zhou Yuefeng opened the psychic eye, which could last for three hours, and there was still half an hour to expire, he hurriedly used the psychic eye to look around, but there was no shadow of half a ghost, and it was surprisingly "clean" here. "Brother Feng, what did you see?" Dongzi held his breath and asked Yuefeng. "There's nothing dirty here." After saying that, he tapped his toes on the ground, and one jumped up the tree.
After looking at it carefully for a while, there was finally a white shadow about half a mile away from them, as if it was hanging from a tree, "Dongzi, did you bring a telescope?" "Bring Brother Feng, give" After speaking, Dongzi threw the telescope to Yuefeng. Yuefeng saw clearly this time, this is a "hanged" girl.
"Let's go, let's go over and have a look" Zhou Yuefeng jumped down from the tree, and the five of them ran in two teams in front and back in that direction. When he was about to arrive, Yue Feng stretched out his hands and blocked everyone behind him. "Don't move, let me go and see first." He walked softly in the direction of the girl, without even the sound of his feet stepping on the leaves.
When I got closer, I saw that this was just a girl who was hanging, not a hanging female ghost, and the rope was wrapped around her waist. The girl seems to see a savior. "Big brother, help me." The voice that was almost a wail became even sharper, shaking Zhou Yuefeng's ears.
"Eldest sister, ah no, sister, don't shout, come down first." Zhou Yuefeng threw the green worm sword, cut the rope and flew back. He turned around and reached out to catch it, and then turned around to catch the girl. Brought her out. "Brother Feng, you will still be a hero to save the beauty, this girl looks very smart." The horse monkey shouted.
Over there, Dongzi talked to the girl more closely: "Girl, why are you hanging from a tree." The three of them took the girl back to the campfire and sat down. The girl cried and said, "I am from Beidi Village, because every year we have to use unmarried girls to sacrifice the "divine dragon" in the water, we will be peaceful here, and I was chosen this year." ”
As soon as the three of them heard the word "Beidi", they didn't care what sacrifices he had, and what dragons they left behind. "Sister, where is your village?" the horse monkey couldn't wait again. The girl was not so scared anymore, "It's in the ravine not far away, I can take you there, but how can I get back to the village?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, it's night, no one would think that you would run back, and the family would definitely not bear to send you to death, we will send you home, and then let the family hide you, and it will be okay to leave the village after this limelight." Dongzi is quite considerate of girls.
"Without further ado, we must arrive before dawn, and we will leave now." Zhou Yuefeng put out the fire, picked up the Qiankun bag and opened the way in front, and the group walked towards Beidi.
"Dangdang...... "The girl knocked softly on her door. Who is it? An old male voice came out, and it was her elderly father, and the faint sound of a woman crying could occasionally be heard inside. Dad, it's me, Xiaomei, I'm back. ”
"Xiaomei?" As soon as he heard his daughter's voice, the old man's staggering steps quickened, and when he arrived at the door, he glanced at the fence next to him, probably seeing his daughter, so he quickly opened the door and let a few people in, "Engong, it was you who saved the little girl, it is really a Bodhisattva manifestation." ”
As soon as the old man entered the courtyard, he knelt down. "Uncle, you're welcome, this is what we should do, who made us good people, we ...... our thinking progress" The horse monkey started his own shape again, Zhou Yuefeng was very helpless, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, "Uncle, now is not the time to be grateful, come into the house and hide your daughter." So saying, he entered the house.
When the old lady saw her daughter come back, she was so happy that she almost fainted, and then she thanked her all the time. "Auntie, what, we haven't eaten for a day, can you get us something to eat?" Horses and monkeys never forget to eat wherever they go. "I'm going to get it, I'm going to get it." The old lady excitedly went to get food.
Yue Feng chatted with the old man. "Where did you come from, child, how did you find our village and save my daughter?" "We came from a far away city, and we are usually more adventurous, so we came here to explore, and when we saw your daughter in the woods, we rescued her, and it was she who brought us to the village."
"Tomorrow they will find out that the priestess has been lost, and they will definitely come to my house to find it." "That fierce water ......" the old man said halfway, Yue Feng thought that this sacrifice should have something to do with the purpose of their trip, so he asked again, "Uncle, what is the matter with this sacrifice you are talking about?" ”
"To tell you the truth, our village has been sacrificing the fierce water with unmarried women every year since we can remember, otherwise the dragon in the water will come to disaster, our farmland will catch fire, the water will be roasted dry, and the grain will not be harvested, so there is no way, hey...... It seems to have touched the old man's sadness again. ”
"Uncle, don't worry, hide your daughter tomorrow, and when this limelight is over, you can find an opportunity to send her out of the village." "That's all I can do, thank you anyway." The old man said with tears in his eyes.
The old man was not wealthy, and he did not have a few houses, so the five big men slept in one room, which was still the girl's room, and the girl moved in to sleep with her father. "Brother Feng, I think that fierce water is a place of evil sects, it is estimated that the things we are looking for are there, today I looked at it from above, and I felt that the texture of the water showed that there was something at the bottom of the water." Dongzi said.
"I think so too, and the old man and the girl said that the 'Divine Dragon' sounds like a god, and the water is still on fire, and the way the old man described the disaster, the lake we saw should be the fierce water that the old man said." The horse monkey also added anxiously.
Zhou Yuefeng pinched his eyebrows, "Go to sleep, take care of your spirits, it should indeed be fierce water, we must go, before we go, I want to collect more information in the village, so as not to be overwhelmed when we arrive, even some folk songs may be useful." ”
After speaking, Zhou Yuefeng turned over and fell asleep, the four people here were also thinking about their own thoughts, Dongzi took off his glasses from his eyes and put them on the pillow, looking at the hazy moon outside the window, I don't know what awaits them as soon as the sky dawns......
