Chapter 21: The Green Labyrinth
As soon as Gu Jie heard this, he didn't have time to wipe his mouth, so he turned around and said angrily to Huzi, "Hell, your uncle!" Do you think I look like a ghost! ”
Huzi said with an aggrieved face, "What ghosts, those ghosts are so high!" ”
After saying this, Lao Gu laughed angrily! But it was obvious that he didn't like to listen to it even more, because there was no second one meter nine in the whole room. He wiped his mouth, drank his saliva, and said to Huzi, "Boy, what do you mean, just say it!" You're eyeing me, aren't you? If you're tall, you're a ghost? So how many ghosts does the NBA come up with in a year? You said! ”
Of course, Huzi didn't know anything about the NBA, he just said to Gu Jie with a serious face, "Captain, you have to believe me, that's definitely not a person!" You can't grow that tall! ”
Gu Jie seemed to be moved by Huzi's attitude, and hesitated a little and said, "Could it be because you were too young at the time?" You think, you're only so tall now, how short were you when you were seven years old? It's normal for everyone to think it's very high! If you're seven years old and you're as tall as me, you're going to be a hell of a life! Otherwise, you can tell me more about what are the characteristics of those things besides being tall? ”
Huzi thought about it very seriously, then shook his head and said, "I was so scared at the time, and when I turned around, I saw those ghosts again, and I can't remember what they looked like......
All I knew was that they were four of them, looking down at me very high. I don't know if I was about to kill me, but there was a bell in the distance. The bell rang so peculiarly that the four ghosts looked at me again as if they had received some kind of command, and then I didn't know anything.
When I woke up again, I was already lying in front of the mountain road of Guimen Mountain. The old people in the village said that it was the Demon Lord who let me go. "When Huzi recalls the narration, whenever he mentions the word 'Demon King', he still has a face of awe and piety.
Hearing this, Qin Zhen couldn't help but think of a question, so he asked Yudong, "Yudong, do you know how old that demon lord is?" If Huzi was already a demon lord when he was seven years old, he must have been the year of his establishment at that time, right? Now it's been more than twenty years, and the co-author of the Demon Lord is an old man? What if he's old? Will you have almost forgotten all the effort in this aspect of Gu Spell Elimination? Or is it long gone? ”
Yu Dong shook his head and said slowly, "I don't know, and even Juntian doesn't know much about him. This demon lord is mysterious, how many people have really seen him. But I believe that the name of the Hundred Demons and Demon Monarchs is there, and the people are in the spells! ”
After speaking, Yudong thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Huzi, "I don't ask you to take us into the realm of the Demon Lord, just go over this Ghost Gate Mountain." ”
When Huzi heard this, he immediately began to shake his head like a rattle, and waved his hand again and again and said, "I can't help it, I can't help it!" I used to be eaten by a hundred ghosts! ”
Gu Jie was impatient to listen to it, and he wanted to suppress it by force, but he was stopped by Qin Zhen. I saw that Yudong quietly took out another stack of money, put it in front of Huzi, and said coldly again, "Crossing the Ghost Gate Mountain, it's as simple as that." ”
Huzi stared at the stack of money and swallowed and spit, but did not reach out or speak.
Qin Zhen thought that this kid would continue to refuse or sit on the ground to raise the price! Unexpectedly, Huzi picked up the money, looked at Yudong with tears in his eyes and said, "I think the requirements for just passing through Guimen Mountain are too low, I will take you to the place I visited when I was a child!" ”
Maybe no one thought that Huzi's transformation would be so big! Or rather, the charm of money is so great!
Qin Zhen's whole person was stunned! After a while, I secretly sighed in my heart: This is really a man dying for money, and a bird dying for food! I was still jealous of the Demon Lord just now, but now I forget everything when I see the money. Sure enough, it is an economic society, and everything has to be talked about with money. As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind. Now it seems that money can make a grinding ghost!
As long as you have money, you can buy the sky, the land, and the air in the middle. As long as you have money, you can shut up the living, and even make the dead gasp!
In the final analysis, all the troubles and troubles in this world are caused by two things: one is that you have money to eat and are full, and the other is that you have no money and no food to eat.
Although Qin Zhen didn't like this kind of vulgar social atmosphere, he hoped in his heart that the Hundred Ghosts Demon Lord was also such a character! As the saying goes, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
If the Hundred Ghost Demon Lord's Gu Curse Relief can also be done with money, then Yu Dong can solve it himself.
But the question is...... Qin Zhen always felt that a mysterious person who could be so famous in the metaphysical world, the Miao world, and even the military world like Yudong and Juntian should not be the same as Huzi......
What's more, his spells are profound, and he is a witch Gu giant, if he really values money, he can make a fortune by pointing to the witch Gu technique to charge for Gu! Why cling to this mountain?
But anyway, this matter is settled. Tomorrow morning, led by Huzi, they will cross this Ghost Gate Mountain and reach the realm of the Demon Lord.
No words for one night, early the next morning.
When the sun hasn't fully risen, everyone gets up. What is commendable is that this tiger is really a responsible person. He carried a bamboo basket containing all kinds of herbs against poisonous insects, snakes and ants, as well as some small utensils such as sickles and hoes.
And he also took off his 'movie tycoon' outfit and changed into a Miao Min's dress. I probably want to add a sense of intimacy when I encounter Gu seedlings! Otherwise, with the outfit he wore before, it is estimated that Qin Zhen and the four of them are not dead yet, so he will have to return to the west first!
As soon as he was ready, Gu Jie took the two buns and prepared to eat them while walking. This gentleman has probably forgotten the unpleasant story of yesterday......
Before they got out of Huzi's house, the two buns had already been wiped out by Gu Jie. Qin Zhen looked back at the appearance of the gentleman, hey, little white teeth, green leeks, not to mention how good-looking...... It's good to see that Qin Zhen can't stand it! I simply turned my head and hurried to continue on my way, so as not to vomit out what I ate yesterday!
When I first entered the mountain, there was still a road under my feet. And from time to time, there are some birds and insects chirping around, which is quite lively.
But as they went deeper and deeper, the surroundings began to become quieter. And the dense mountain forests make it very dim!
When you raise your head, you can only see a full of ancient trees, covering the sky and the sun. The atmosphere made them a little nervous. However, Yu Dong also comforted them a few words on the side, roughly saying that he had not yet reached the realm of the Demon Lord, so he didn't have to worry so much.
To be honest, walking into this mountain is like walking into a dark green labyrinth. It is surrounded by dense woods, making it difficult to discern directions. That's probably why it's important to find a local guide.
Towering green branches crisscross the sky, forming a vast pergola that cuts the blue sky overhead into fragments. Sunlight can only shine through the gaps, spilling in little bits, forming small pillars of light that pierce through the morning fog and haze, making the place even more psychedelic and psychedelic.
I don't know why, but the trees here vary greatly in height. Some branches soar into the sky as high as tens of meters, while others are only more than one person high. These high and low branches and leaves are intricately intertwined, and they seem to form a huge green web under the sky overhead. If you enter the 'Ghost Gate', you will no longer be able to escape!
The scariest thing is that it's not just trees, but also a thousand strange vines. Numerous vines fill almost the entire mountain forest, making it difficult to walk an inch!
Some of these vines hang straight down from the high canopy, some are softly wound around the trunk, and some are twisted and curved.
Under their 'matchmaking', different towering canopies are intertwined. The thick rattan hangs in the air like a giant python swimming, which makes people feel creepy!!
People say green is eye-catching, but here, green makes people feel so scary! This is a claustrophobic labyrinth, and the whole mountain is the best natural barrier to the Demon Lord's realm!
Fortunately, there is a person like Huzi who has lived here since childhood as a guide, otherwise, the four of them will face severe consequences.
According to Huzi, due to Yunnan's unique climate, there are no too obvious four seasons. Therefore, some of the animals in the deep mountains are also relatively 'not on the right track'.
For example, snakes, animals that need to hibernate. Here, whether you hibernate or not depends entirely on the climate and mood of the year. Even in winter, it doesn't get cold, so the vines and snakes here are hard to tell all year round.
Huzi said that if you didn't bring snake-repellent herbs, then maybe you would suddenly find out that a certain 'rattan' hanging in front of you actually has eyes! Or maybe the thick vines you've stepped on are soft!
Listening to these words, Qin Zhen's scalp was numb for a while! Goosebumps rise layer upon layer! The heart is also overwhelmed with a 'bang' beating! This is really torture for people who are afraid of snakes!
However, Huzi didn't care about Qin Zhen's pale face, he still dutifully told what he knew. He said there are a lot of Burmese pythons here, and there are countless deadly poisonous snakes. Probably because of the Demon Lord's Gu refining, the unique poisons here are everywhere.
But the evil thing is that these poisonous pythons are like being drawn in a circle and encircled in this mountain, and they have never come out of the mountain to harass the people at the foot of the mountain!! Is even a venomous ant good? Never!
The common people said that this is the demon lord who has enclosed the poisons in the Ghost Gate Mountain, and prevented them from causing trouble to the people, this is to bless them!
Therefore, the four words of the Hundred Ghosts and Demon Monarch are not only a terrifying taboo, but also a 'god' that is feared by the local people.
Since no one has ever seen the Demon Lord, over time, some people have begun to speculate whether the Demon Monarch really exists? When a name is somewhere between reality and legend, in question whether it exists or does not, it is destined to be deified.
There is even a local saying that has been passed down from generation to generation and is very firmly believed in: there is only one Demon Lord, and there is only one from beginning to end. He is immortal and powerful. Palm all spirits, control all ghosts! Hidden in the mountains, it protects the people of the water and soil on this side.
This, roughly among the Miao people in this area, there is a legend about the Hundred Ghosts and Demon Lords.
