Chapter 9: A knock at the door in the middle of the night

When the incident of the hairy-faced black shadow duo came to an end, the fat man saw that my brows were tightly knit, and knew that I was worried that I would encounter an even more terrifying opponent next, so he smiled and said to me: "The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth." ”

I nodded, and then laughed, it was useless to worry too much at this time, what has not happened in the future yet, there is no need to carry it too soon. Just like the fat man said, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and we are not vegetarians, how can we be slaughtered!

Straight in the direction of the Immortal Cave Mansion again, for two or three days in a row, nothing happened. The only problem we faced was the irresistible biting cold, and along the way, everyone kept secretly praying in their hearts that it would not snow.

The snow did not fall, but we encountered another very strange thing, that is, every night at midnight, at the right time of the night, people who were sleeping and resting in their dreams would be awakened by a sudden knock on the door. Like the terrifying knock on the door in the middle of the night in a ghost story, in the silent night, it is extremely terrifying.

In the open and dense forest, there is no door at all, how can there be a knock on the door in the middle of the night for no reason?

The fat man did not hesitate to express his haunted arguments, and the monkey did not need to mention it, and it was completely the same as the fat man's nostrils. Zha Qiye thinks that it should be a "woodpecker", and there are a lot of woodpeckers distributed in the large and small Xing'an Mountains in the northeast. The sound of the woodpecker pecking at the tree is very similar to the sound of knocking on the door, and I think what the seventh master said is reasonable, but the fat man immediately retorted: "Whose woodpecker pecks the tree on time at midnight, and it is not the chiming bird of the clock." Besides, why do woodpeckers keep following us for several nights in a row? ”

I'd rather believe that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. There is a woodpecker who likes to peck at the tree at midnight and follows us all the time. Because I really don't think this matter has anything to do with the ghost theory. The fat man saw that I didn't listen to anything, so he said something. "Believe it or not." He took the monkey to rest, and muttered, "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you." ”

The inexplicable knock on the door in the middle of the night rang for several days, but when I was keeping vigil, I couldn't find the woodpecker that Zha Qiye speculated about. The sudden knock on the door in the middle of the night, empty and gloomy, erratic and long-echoing, really like the haunting of the fat man's mouth, makes people feel numb when they listen to it. Chills in the back of the head.

The ghostly knock on the door in the middle of the night went on for several nights, and no one could find the culprit. But since there is no real danger, there is no need to care, what human beings are best at is to get used to nature, and the sudden knock on the door in the middle of the night is no longer as terrifying and terrifying as it was when it rings quietly in the middle of the night again.

But things often happen after you get used to it. It's bound to take an unexpected turn and catch you off guard, feeling as if a hard-boiled egg is stuck in your throat.

The knock on the door in the middle of the night for several days in a row really made Seventh Master Zha right. It was a black and yellow woodpecker that was following us all the time. When it was spotted, it was pecking at insects inside trees. Seeing this, the fat man was quite angry and picked up the bow and crossbow in the seventh master's backpack. I wanted to shoot this woodpecker that was always scaring people in the middle of the night.

Zha Ling'er immediately jumped out to stop it, saying that the woodpecker was a beneficial bird. It can eat 1,500 pests a day, and if there is a woodpecker in 130,000 hectares, or 130,000 square meters. You can get rid of 90 percent of the pests. The fat man's unruly personality naturally ignored Zha Ling'er's statement, so the two began to compete for the bow and crossbow, but the accident happened suddenly, and the bow and arrow from the string smacked and shot the woodpecker that was pecking at the tree impartially.

The woodpecker that fell to the ground with a bang immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Zha Linger just wanted to open her mouth to accuse the fat man, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed it again. This is because the woodpecker that falls to the ground is not a real woodpecker, but a mechanism carved out of wood. Everyone was stunned by such a delicate and detailed mechanism, but they immediately realized something and hurriedly turned around to look around.

But the dark and dim woods were dense, and there was not half a human figure in sight. Since such an ingenious mechanism will appear, it means that the next killer of the Black Cat Group has appeared. It's just that for some reason, a trap woodpecker will be sent, is it used as a test to fail, or is there another reason?

Everyone was on alert, and they looked around intently for a long time, but they didn't find any figure, it seemed that this master of the mechanism didn't want to show up.

"The law starts from the technique, and the opportunity is born from the heart." Only a person with a delicate mind and a clever mind can make a mechanism that can be called a stunt. The tricks of traps in ancient China are unparalleled in the world, but many strange tricks and exquisite skills of the wheel have been lost in the torrent of history. The technique is especially used in the tomb, and the ancient dignitaries and nobles can be regarded as exhausted in order to prevent theft. Therefore, the inverted fighting craftsman is no stranger to the number of tricks, and knows that the smaller the object, the more difficult it is to achieve fine and ingenious and high simulation effect. Like this trap woodpecker that fell to the ground at this time, it was so delicate that it couldn't help but be staggering.

Zha Ling'er's eyes lit up and wanted to pick it up and collect it, I was worried that there was a poisonous arrow hidden in it, and I just wanted to stop it, but I was preempted by the demon king white rabbit in Zha Ling'er's arms. It jumped from Zha Ling'er's arms to the ground, stretched out its hind legs, and kicked the woodpecker away with a single kick, and disappeared without a trace. I almost didn't laugh out loud, and said in my heart: Is this little guy jealous because Zha Ling'er is clamoring for woodpeckers?

The truth of the terrifying knock on the door in the middle of the night came to the surface, but the master of the mechanism behind the scenes did not appear, so we had to be careful and began to continue walking in the direction of the Immortal Cave Mansion.

The knee-high snow on the mountains affected the speed at which we could travel, and in normal times, a one-day journey would be worth a three-day journey.

It was a bright night when the stars were scarce and the moonlight and snow echoed each other, I sat under the tree to keep vigil, and suddenly thought of one thing, that is, when Zha Ling'er was in the capital before, transparent wings like butterflies grew on her back, which made me think of a magical and mysterious creature, that is, the "Moth Man". There is a detailed and clear record in ancient books, and it is said that the moth people have butterfly-like wings on their bodies, and they often appear around the grave and have the ability to become invisible.
