Everyone gathered around, and the Sword Rock King asked, "What mountain ghost?" Why does she want my daughter? ”

The name of this wizard is called, he said, according to legend, thousands of years ago, or the most prosperous period of the Mengmao Kingdom, there lived a mountain ghost, the mountain ghost is fierce by nature, bloodthirsty as life, usually only catch some pheasants and hares for food, but every few years to choose a young girl born in the lunar year, the moon and the cloud, unbroken body to sacrifice to her, in order to prolong her life.

Later, the prince of Mengmao went to the Central Plains to invite a few people who caught ghosts, and expelled her from the country, but because she was not completely caught, so this hidden danger was not eliminated, in history, every few years there will be a girl missing in the mountains and forests, everyone is said to be a mountain ghost.

And the mountain ghost, under his banner, raised a lot of mountain beasts and plants to turn into subordinates to commit murder and evil, these accomplices are characterized by blue light in the night, and when they come and go, they turn into a gust of wind, or a piece of smoke, or a fire, or a pool of water. As for the face of the mountain ghost himself, there is no record.

The King of Sword Rock was so anxious that he asked the wizard if he could subdue her.

Wizard Fadehan pondered for a moment and said, "Although I am a wizard, it is the first time I have faced such a thing, I have only heard his master tell me about this kind of legend of ghosts doing evil before, but I have never had it, and I don't want it to happen this time. Now there is only one way, I pray for God's blessing overnight, and you will do your best to send the girl who was born here in the lunar year and the moon and the sun to send this mountain, although this mountain ghost is powerful, but there are also territorial restrictions, as long as you get out of this mountain, you can ensure safety. ”

After a preliminary investigation, there was only one woman in the village who met the sacrificial conditions of the mountain ghost, and that was the peacock princess - Ah Zi.

Although the King of Daoyan was reluctant to let his daughter leave him so soon, for her safety, he could only leave temporarily.

Her mother, Han Yu Shanna, arranged some clothes and a small bag of gold, silver and jewelry for her, and several of her brothers enthusiastically signed up to escort her sister out of the mountain.

But the King of Daoyan thought for a while and said, "You have all been living in the local area, and you don't have any experience in dealing with the outside world after you leave the mountain, so it's better to stay and be prepared to fight the mountain ghosts." This time, I asked her uncle to send her out, and when I got outside, I waited for a steady dìng to come down, and then came back to contact us. ”

The wizard had already set up a shrine in the open space outside, lit a fire array, put on his magic robes, and began to jump with his magic weapon in hand. All the villagers knelt around and prayed earnestly for a safe first day of the new year.

And Uncle hurriedly sorted out the clothes he brought back when he was a soldier, took some coils and food from the Daoyan King, and rode the white elephant chariot of the Daoyan King with Ah Zi, surrounded by more than a dozen elephants, and walked towards the outside of the mountain.

Before leaving, the King of Daoyan took off the ancient treasure knife he was wearing at his waist and handed it to Ah Zi for self-defense.

Turning around all the way and waving goodbye, reluctant to give up, but forced by the urgency of time, I can only fly with the wind in tears, and the stars and the moon are at the same time.

As you get farther and farther away from the river valley where you live, you have to climb over the hill in front of you to be safe. The elephants climbed all the way up the mountain, and when they turned to look, the village was getting farther and farther away from the foot of the mountain, leaving a light on the fire, which was the bonfire where the villagers were praying all night......

After walking for about three or four hours, the sky has begun to light slightly, although it has been a long time, but due to the high mountain and the bend of the road, and the vision of the night is unclear, I just climbed the mountain until dawn.

It's dawn, and the time has come to hand over Ah Zi from what the old woman said, and I don't know if the people in the valley are safe now. The elephants reached the top of the hill and looked down to see that the village was as small as a matchbox in the mist, and it was too dark to see the bonfire that had been lit before.

Uncle asked the elephant herd to stop first, took out an 80mm German military monocular from the marching bag, came down and set up a tripod on a flat ground, and looked towards the village. Maybe the morning mist had not completely cleared, and my uncle had been debugging there for a long time, and after he had been lying on the ground and watching for five or six minutes, he stopped.

"Uncle, what do you see?" Ah Zi asked anxiously.

Uncle didn't answer, just stretched out his hand and waved, frowning and continuing to watch, and the longer he watched, the tighter his fist became.

After another four or five minutes, Ah Zi asked what he had seen.

Uncle raised his head in a daze, glanced at Ah Zi, and cried heartbreakingly.

Uncle has been a special soldier for so many years, and he should have already trained a calm heart, but he suddenly cried without warning, Ah Zi's brain buzzed, and she knew that it must be bad, she wanted to go up and take off the telescope to see, but she was full of fear, for fear of seeing her Abba and Aunt They had suffered accidents.

At this time, when Uncle saw Ah Zi beside him, he desperately protected the telescope to prevent her from getting it, and he shouted: "Hurry up and ride up, don't come down!" ”

Although Ah Zi had only just turned 18 years old, she also had the noble blood of the Mengmao royal family flowing in her body, she suddenly became rational and calm down at this time, holding her father's ancient treasure knife in her hand, kneeling in front of her uncle and begging with tears: "Uncle, just let me take a look!" Whatever I see, I can bear it, but if I don't see it, maybe I'll never see them again, and you can't bear to let me leave like this!? ”

Uncle hesitated for a moment, but finally held back his tears and gave up the telescope to Ah Zi.

Ah Zi leaned in front of the telescope frame, supported his body with one hand, and held the lens barrel tremblingly with the other hand, and brought his eyes up......

Although this telescope is already military-grade high-power high-definition technology, it is too far away to see very clearly. But you can still see the whole appearance of the cottage, and the piles of smoking bonfire ashes in the celebration square last night. But there was not a single figure to be seen.

Ah Zi moved the telescope left and right, looking for her Abba and Aunt and the other villagers. But the whole village was empty, and even the nearby villages were empty, not even ...... Not even a single chicken or dog roaming outside all day long is missing, as if it were a dead city that has long been uninhabited.

Ah Zi thought to herself: Could it be that they are hiding somewhere? Still is...... Fight the mountain ghosts somewhere?

She continued to move her binoculars and looked back at the mountains and forests around the stockade...... Still didn't see a single bird. She looked farther into the valley......

Suddenly, she saw it! She saw a figure swaying, but because of the obscuration of the vegetation, her telescope hurriedly swept across the corner, and she couldn't see clearly. She turned the telescope in the previous direction and looked closely.

It was a mountain path leading to a waterfall in the river valley in the distance, that place Ah Zi was familiar with, there was a large waterfall and a deep pool, every time after the rain, the waterfall rushed down from the cliff wall of the mountain, stirring up a vast mist, in the mist would rise a rainbow to the sky, when she was a child she often went there to play, and secretly named it - Rainbow Pool.

She was shocked by the scene in front of her! All the villagers, in a long queue, adults, children, the elderly, and even cows, horses, chickens and dogs, all lined up, walking towards the cliff wall of the river valley......

Although I couldn't see their expressions clearly, and I couldn't hear their voices, all of them didn't make any extra movements, all of them with their hands hanging down in front of them, half hunched on their shoulders, one by one like zombies, slowly walking towards the cliff, they were in good order, even the cattle and horses maintained the same speed, and mixed with the flow of people on the mountain road, continuously from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain......

Ah Zi slowly moved the telescope upwards along the flow of people, wanting to see where the head of the team was and what they were going to do.

In the next scene, Ah Zi will not forget jì even if he dies!

At the end of the long dragon was the cliff of the waterfall, and the people kept their speed and walked forward one after another, as if they didn't know that if they took another step, they would fall down the waterfall and sink directly into the deep pool......

One, two, three...... Ten, eleven ......, adults, little people, and babies on their backs, all stepped silently like this, and disappeared into the mist of the waterfall in a blink of an eye, and then a new person would fall, one, two, three......

What about Abba and Grandma!? Ah Zi searched back and forth desperately with a telescope, but she also knew that it was too far away to see her face clearly, and she didn't know if she was still in the middle of the line or had already jumped down.

Ah Zi looked at it blankly, and at this time Uncle said: "Let's go, let's go, if the mountain ghost chases after us, we haven't walked out of this mountain yet!" ”

Ah Zi was completely stiff over there, and Uncle Ah had already begun to put away the binoculars and drag Ah Zi, who was in a daze, to ride on the white elephant.

At this time, Ah Zi came to his senses, shook his uncle's shoulder and cried: "Let's go back, let's save them, go wake them up!" What the hell is wrong with them, what the hell is going on! ”

Uncle took out the cloth belt and trapped Ah Zi and his body together, and whispered, "Don't be stupid! Come on! Otherwise, the lives of the villagers will be in vain! ”

Ah Zi waved her hands and struggled to get off the white elephant, but her uncle grabbed her and shouted, "How can you save it!" It's up to you how you save them, how you call them! You'll just be like them, and you'll end up jumping into the pool! ”

Ah Zi suddenly thought of something, took out her mobile phone from her clothes, and dialed Abba's number...... "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed is not in the service area." ”

She changed to her grandmother again, and she answered the same way.

She changed her numbers one by one, and called all the clansmen she knew in the list one by one, but all of them were not in the service area.

Uncle drove the elephant herd desperately out of the mountain, and Ah Zi was already numb to lean on Uncle's back, her eyes were dull, her mind was blank, she just felt that she was a sinner, and in order to save her life, she actually caused the whole clan to jump into the waterfall......

They ran and ran until dusk, when they completely crossed the mountain and reached the border near Ruili City. Uncle dialed a comrade-in-arms at the local police station.

Not long after, a police car came to answer the problem, and after the uncle unloaded all the luggage and equipment, he released the elephants back into the mountains, and they were sent to a nearby guest house, and the escape came to an end......

Hearing this, several questions arose in my mind:

First of all, is the deep pool that these villagers jumped into the same deep pool that the old woman jumped into back then, if it is the same, then since the old woman can survive, the villagers may not die.

Secondly, the old woman must not be a mountain ghost, because in our records of yin and yang Yishu, the mountain ghost is a young woman, and her face is beautiful, and she will not change, and the old woman has blue light in her eyes and turns into blue fire, this set of things is more like illusion than the ability of human ghosts.

Again, why these villagers jumped off the cliff collectively like an evil person, this is really incredible, don't think about it for the time being.

Fourth, I've seen Ah Zi's eight characters, it is indeed born in the lunar year, the moon and the cloudy day, the "mountain ghost" wants to catch such a girl back, is it really to eat meat and drink blood? There are other attempts...... For example, the last time Sister Ming was also all yin......
