Chapter 43: The Fat Man's Recovery
The fat man is bent over by the demon, and the monkey is overtaken by the tanuki spirit and runs around, trying to touch the dementor altar that seals the evil ghost. Everyone ran around, surrounding the monkey who seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, but he still jumped up and down freely in the face of everyone's pursuit and interception, which reminded me of the monkey in the circus. Suddenly he had an idea, and immediately said to the people, "Tie the rope." ”
It occurred to me that the circus had a rope lassoness for horses, and it was best to deal with monkeys running around, so that he would not be able to get even half a point of typhoid fever, and it would be effective in preventing him from touching the altar of the dementor and releasing evil spirits.
During the trip to Kunlun Mountain, the fat man and I were really embarrassed because of the climbing dragon head rock carving rope, but fortunately, because of this, we practiced the stunt of the rope.
Everyone shook the rope noose in their hands, and finally surrounded the monkeys scurrying around. I saw an opportunity and immediately threw out the noose in my hand and caught the monkey with unmistakable accuracy.
The monkey was unwilling to be bound and kept struggling, but the more the noose struggled, the tighter it would be, and finally, his body could no longer swing.
But what I didn't expect was that the monkey had just been dealt with a lot of hard work, and something went wrong on the fat man's side.
The fat man who was tied to the ground somehow broke free from the rope, slammed Zha Ling'er to the ground, shook his weak arms, and rushed straight to the steps, obviously trying to escape from the entrance of the cave.
Seventh Master immediately shouted at everyone: "Catch him quickly, don't let him run away, or he won't be able to come back in the future!" ”
When I heard this, I immediately flew after them, but everyone was far from the exit. If you want to catch up, it's too late.
Suddenly. Something spiraled out of my back and hit the popliteal fossa behind the fat man's knee with unmistakable accuracy. The fat man's body immediately lost its balance and fell down the stone steps. Everyone hurriedly rushed over, divided by two, and tied the demon fat man in a strong knot, and let him struggle, but he could no longer escape.
I bent down and picked up an iron rod from the ground, and sighed in my heart: The cigarette man is really extraordinary, and he can always show his might at critical moments.
The cigarette man pulled the rope with his uninjured hand. On the other end, a monkey on a leash, still shaking, walked up to me. I looked at the fat man on the ground who kept writhing his body like a loach, and then at the monkey that jumped like a zombie, the cold sweat on his forehead kept rising, and my heart said: There is no one who is worry-free.
I walked up to Zha Ling'er, lifted her up from the ground, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
As a result, Zha Linger pouted with tears in her eyes and said, "My foot is twisted." ”
I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, and helped the limping Zha Ling'er to walk in front of everyone.
Seventh Master checked Zha Ling'er's ankle and said, "It's okay, you will be fine after a day or two of recuperation." Then Seventh Master looked at the fat man and the monkey who were not human or ghost. He asked me, "What should I do?" ”
I immediately felt very speechless, and I couldn't cry and laugh and said to the seventh master: "Seventh master, you are the Taoist priest, this thing of exorcising evil spirits and collecting demons." Why did you ask about me? ”
Seventh Master said to me seriously: "I can't think of a good way now, it's better to knock them both out and take them away first." At this time, we should leave this place of right and wrong as much as possible. ”
I heard Seventh Master's plausible answer. can only smile wryly. Everyone held the fat man and the monkey who were very uncooperative, and I supported Zha Ling'er. Then he walked up the stairs and left the demon-filled monster. A land of right and wrong where disasters arise one after another.
Leaving the Immortal Cave Mansion again, for some reason, a trace of inexplicable melancholy suddenly welled up in my heart, as if I was reluctant, and there seemed to be some sorrow. But this melancholy was immediately slammed by Zha Ling'er, and she used the sprained ankle as an excuse to ask me to carry her on my back, or else I could carry it.
When Zha Ling'er was a child, she was a ghost idea, and I had no choice but to carry her on my back. I saw the envious and pitiful glances of the people.
The team proceeded to the last destination in the southwest direction as planned.
The Sanjiang Plain passes to the mountains of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, and some relatively flat hills can be seen, while the area leading from the Xiaoxing'an Mountains to the Greater Xing'an Mountains is almost all majestic mountains and dense forests.
On the last day when he was about to leave Xiaoxing'anling, Seventh Master finally thought of a way to save the fat man, but he mysteriously told everyone that the secret of heaven should not be leaked, and the secret method could not be passed on, and then he took the fat man who was tied up sturdily out of everyone's sight. After only a quarter of an hour, the fat man changed back to his normal appearance and walked back with the pale-faced Seventh Master.
After Seventh Master Zha walked back, he sat on the ground, as if his vitality was badly injured, and said to me weakly: "Give me a little time, I have to rest." With that, he sat down on the grass and began to meditate cross-legged with his eyes closed.
I asked the fat man who had come to his senses, "Do you feel anything uncomfortable?" ”
The fat man shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just feel very unenergetic." And his arms hurt so much that he couldn't lift them. ”
The fat man's arm was dislocated, and he was already picked up by the smoke man, but now he should feel very painful. I remembered that when the fat man was bent over by the demon, he was as energetic as a bison, and it was estimated that a lot of vitality and energy had been consumed at that time, so I told him to lie down and rest for a while, and told everyone to continue their journey tomorrow.
In the evening, Seventh Master finally stopped meditating, and his face became much more ruddy. This half-truth, mysterious Taoist priest began to wander around the woods while everyone was asleep. Dressed in a white robe and holding an iron-bone fan, he looked like an ancient scholar and scholar, wandering around the woods, looking like a female ghost in white from a distance, wandering in the dark and calm woods.
In the second half of the night, I changed the night owl's shift vigil, and when I saw the seventh master with a good face, he asked him: "Seventh master, the fat man's problem is solved, what do you do about the monkey's condition?" ”
Seventh Master Zha glanced at the monkey tied to the tree and said, "The fat man is possessed by the soul of a monster, and he can easily solve it if he thinks of a way." But the monkey is overtaken by the spirit, and this monster follows us to the left and right, and if it is not completely eradicated, it is difficult to crack its evil spell. ”
I heard the tanuki spirit following the left and right of the team, and immediately looked around, and nervously asked the seventh master, "How do you know?" ”
Seventh Master opened the iron bone fan in his hand, leaned his face into my ear and whispered: "This is not simple, if the tanuki spirit was not nearby, the demon law would have been broken by itself." Nowadays, the monkey still looks evil, which means that this wild cat is hiding around us and controlling the monkey. ”
I see, this cunning and sinister tanuki spirit is on the same page as us. In this case, it can only be endured for the time being, and when it shows its tail, it will be eliminated in one fell swoop.
But I never imagined that in the next journey, we would suffer a lot because of this annoying tanuki.
After a whole day of non-stop rapid travel, we finally came to the border of the Great Khing'an Mountains before dark.
As far as the eye can see, the strata of rocks in the distance are scattered, and the distant peaks overlap, all of which are tall mountains, dense forests, lush greenery, dense layers, and pine waves.
The pine trees on the top of the Xing'an Mountains are the most, and I especially love the pine trees and the unique taste of their rosin.
At dinner, everyone gathered around and chatted, and the fat man said, "The dry food is too hard, and the compressed biscuits are too dry, so it would be nice to have some game to eat." ”
After speaking, he asked Zha Ling'er: "Ling'er, do you know the flying dragon?" ”
Zha Ling'er shook her head, and the fat man immediately frothed at the mouth and said to Zha Ling'er: "The flying dragon is the hazel chicken, I don't know if you have heard of it, "dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground", in which the dragon meat refers to the hazel chicken. Flying dragons and bear's paws, monkey heads and hash toads, and called the four mountain treasures. The hazelnut chicken is extremely delicious, just soak it in hot water, it is already extremely delicious, and there is no need to add any ingredients at all. ”
After speaking, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, and then continued: "The process of catching hazel chicken is also very interesting. This hazelnut chicken has the reputation of "mandarin duck in the forest", and likes to perch together in pairs and inseparable. So when you catch a hazel chicken, you can catch a pair with one catch. If you catch only one and tie it to a tree, the other one will immediately throw itself into the net. ”
After hearing this, Zha Ling'er immediately became interested, and insisted on catching hazel chickens with the fat man, saying that she really wanted to eat meat.
It's getting late today, and I resolutely disagree on the grounds that it is dangerous. But the two most stubborn people in this team insisted on catching the flying dragon, and said all kinds of reasons, Zha Ling'er was even more liar, crying and making trouble, I really couldn't stop them, so I had to promise to give them an hour, if they returned late, there would be punishment to serve. The two of them immediately cheerfully assured me that they would go and return as soon as they went, and that they would not delay any time or run around, and then they ran away into the woods.
When I saw that the smoke man gave his brother a look to the night owl, the night owl nodded at once, and then he dodged behind the tree and disappeared. I know that the night owl was sent by the smoke man to protect the heartless fat two.
Although I am full of worries, but the team has just arrived in Daxinganling today, and now I have to discuss the next journey and various things with everyone, and I have no time to worry about the fat two who are out of tune. And there are night owls escorting them in secret, so I don't think there will be any problems with their safety.
As soon as the fat man came back, he said to me dejectedly: "I didn't catch a pheasant, but I found a huge beehive, and I can take out some honey to eat tomorrow." Also, outside this mountain, there is a knee-deep wide river, and now everyone has a smell of rancid water, and tomorrow during the day you can take a pleasant bath. (To be continued......)
