Chapter 14: The Ghosts of the Valley of the Spirit Wind (Part II)
The image of this mandrill ghost is very similar to what Wang Wu described. But this mandrill ghost has green hair on its body. Wang Wu saw a red-haired monster, what is the explanation?
Hu Zhouzhou said: "The color of mandrill ghosts in different regions is also different. There are four main colors: green, purple, red, and black. ”
I nodded. That's it. But this is just a mischievous mandrill ghost, how could he suddenly make more than 20,000 acres of land like this?
I thought I had a general understanding of the situation, so I asked Hu Zhouzhou and Yujing to go out with me.
The seven sub-farms of the planting base are not connected. Some of them are on the slopes, some are at the bottom of the valley. There are many wild weeds growing in the middle. Strangely enough, there are only seven sub-fields where the grass is dry and the ground is cracked.
"Why is that? Could it be that those mandrill ghosts are only interested in the plants of the Lin Phong medicinal herb cultivation base? These days, even ghosts only choose famous brands. "I'm indignant. Cut, why do they look down on the weeds next to them?
Yujing suddenly said that these alchemy herbs were different from other plants. They have an aura in their own right. There are few of them.
It dawned on me: "Those mandrill ghosts are actually not intent on getting along with the planting base!" They just want to absorb the aura of medicinal herbs. Grass dry ground fissures are objective injuries. ”
Jade Mirror says it's possible. But one thing doesn't make sense. Although the mandrill ghost looks hideous, its personality is the same as that of a child. They are playful, love to fight in groups, and are not motivated at all. They don't want to transform into human form, and they don't want to ascend to immortals. So I never took the initiative to cultivate.
How could such a ghost suddenly and actively go out to absorb aura?
I don't think I can figure it out either. The quickest way to figure this out is to grab a mandrill or two and come back and ask it directly. I plan to come out at night and wait for the rabbit, so I will let the jade mirror go somewhere else first, and come back when it gets dark.
The world soon darkened. It's like a huge room with the lights off.
There was not a hint of wind outside the window.
Hu Zhouzhou and I sat behind the dark window, our eyes like electricity, staring firmly at the land that had been swallowed up by darkness.
It didn't take long for the yellow and white light to light up in the near and far distances. The light shone in the black silk of the night, and there were fluffy halos.
Who knows what kind of story is wrapped in the light that is so close at hand?
I don't know how long later, these yellow and white lights were extinguished one by one. Once again, the world has sunk into darkness.
Jade Mirror is back.
"Nothing different?"
I stood up and moved my stiff limbs and said, "Isn't it?" I'm almost sitting in a wax figure. ”
Hu Zhouzhou scoffed: "Pull it down." Do you think anyone can have a wax figure? You're a clay figure at best. I was about to argue with him when I heard a rustling sound outside the window. I hurriedly bent down and walked softly to the window. By the faint light of the stars, I saw dozens of short figures wandering in the ground.
Their steps are small, as if anxiously searching for something. Hu Zhouzhou said in my ear: "The medicinal herbs are almost dead. They can't breathe in the aura anymore. ”
How can you leave the mandrill alone? I couldn't think of a way to do it. At this time, these dozens of figures began to gradually move towards the west. It seems that they can't find medicinal herbs in this branch, and they want to try their luck together in the west branch.
I am secretly happy in my heart, the opportunity has come!
I gently opened the door a crack and stepped out sideways. Under the shelter of the night, I quietly stepped forward, raised my left hand, quickly straightened my middle finger, and pinched the back of the first horizontal stripe of my middle finger with the tip of my index finger. The inside of the tip of the thumb is pinched in the first horizontal stripe of the middle finger. The tip of the thumb is opposite the tip of the index finger, and the ring and little fingers are bent in the palm.
The target of the Spirit Commander is the last figure of the team.
The figure fell silently, and the mandrill ghosts in front of it were completely unnoticed. I was overjoyed, and waited patiently for the army to go far before striding towards the fallen mandrill ghosts.
I reached out and picked it up, trying to bring it inside to wake it up. As soon as I touched its body, I felt a chill invade my body, and it felt like someone had poured a bucket of ice water on my head.
I felt a layer of sticky liquid on its body. How can mandrill ghosts have slime on them? What's more, when I picked it up, I clearly saw that its limbs were dark green, with five toes connected and webbed between the toes!
Web!
Hu Zhouzhou and Yujing obviously saw it as well. Hu Zhouzhou instinctively retreated a distance and shouted, "This is not a mandrill ghost!" But...... But...... But...... Impossible! ”
I didn't ask what I was holding. It's not that I'm not curious, it's that I have more important things to worry about at this point.
The red shadows flickered, and the group of short figures had gathered around me at some point. They squeaked, bared their teeth and claws, and glared at me with rage!
I was completely stunned by the "squeak" sound one after another. God, comrade! I'm just a brand new Taoist! Why did your old man give me such a big test as soon as he came up!
Jade Mirror calmly told me to put their companions down.
I laughed stiffly, swallowed hard, and carefully put the little thing in my hand down.
They swarmed up to check on their companion's injuries, and half a minute later, they glared at me again. This time, in addition to anger, there was also hatred in their eyes! I hurriedly shouted: "It's not dead, it's just ......" These guys don't know if they were covered with hatred and pain or if they couldn't understand human language in the first place, they ignored my words, and rushed to me and Hu Zhouzhou with their teeth bared!
There were several monsters hanging on me in an instant. Hu Zhouzhou is no better.
They were scratching and biting at us, and I could hear the sharp claws tearing through my flesh distinctly! I screamed in pain. I jumped up and threw them desperately, but they seemed to grow on me, and I couldn't shake them off at all. In desperation, I fell heavily to the ground, and the monsters that had been hanging in front of me before were in pain, and they let go of their hands.
I didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, I lay on the ground and rolled over. At the same time, I moved my fingers wildly, and with my eyes closed, I pinched all the fingers I could remember at this time.
Suddenly, there was silence. The deafening "squeak" sound was gone, and only the screams of Hu Zhouzhou and me were left in the quiet night. I opened my eyes and saw the monsters fall to the ground and die like a handful of mosquitoes that have just been sprayed with insecticide.
I sat up breathlessly and raised my hand to wipe my bloodied left eye.
At this time, the sixth child, Zhao Nan, Zhao Bei and several employees heard the sound and ran out one after another. They were stunned when they saw it. After a long time, the sixth child pointed at those monsters tremblingly and said, "So, what are they, what are they!" ”
I looked at the jade mirror, and he frowned, and said something that even I couldn't believe - he said that those things on the ground were water ghosts.
Water ghosts, commonly known as water monkeys, are a type of ghost that lurks in water. The body is full of red hair, the face is like the bottom of a pot, and the eyes are red like blood. Water spirits are incarnated by drowned resentful spirits.
Aren't they supposed to stay in the water and lure people to drown as substitutes? How did they come to shore in droves?
The two brothers, Zhao Nan and Zhao Bei, saw me and Hu Zhouzhou covered in blood, and hurriedly helped us into the house to bandage. I said that I didn't know what to do with the water monkeys on the ground, and asked the sixth to find someone to get them all to my room and lock them up.
Zhao Nan and Zhao Bei said they would take me to the hospital. I took a closer look at the wounds on my body and found that although there was a lot of blood, the wounds on my body were only flesh and did not hurt my muscles and bones. He refused. Save yourself from the trouble of getting an explanation from the hospital.
I wondered in my heart, these water monkeys are obviously murderous, and they try their best, how can the wounds they make are so shallow?
The wounds are not deep, but they are numerous. It took them more than 20 minutes to wrap it up for us. The ground was covered with bloody cotton swabs and bandages, which at first glance looked quite scary.
The sixth came and said that he had people get all the water monkeys into my room. I looked over and saw that they were pretty reliable. They used thick hemp rope to tie the water monkeys one by one to a sturdy one, looking like hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake.
