The three of us hurriedly walked to the edge of the gap in the stone, I picked up the rope and slowly pulled the net bag containing the stone ball, I originally thought that since the stone ball was as big as a basketball, it should be very heavy, at least a few dozen pounds, but I didn't expect to pull the rope up, I suddenly felt very light, I was stunned, and immediately thought about whether the net bag fell off? But when I followed the flashlight of Sister Li and Du Hongmei and looked down carefully, I found that the net bag with the stone egg was still firmly tied to the rope, what was going on?

After I didn't pull it up with any effort, I carried it with my hand, and it was really light, is this stone egg hollow? Even if it's hollow, it's not so light. To our surprise, in addition to this stone egg, there is also a strange-shaped stone in the net pocket, but it is smaller than the stone egg. This is even more strange, since two stones of this size, they should not be so light.

Du Hongmei took it with her hand, first looked carefully at the two strange stones through the net pocket, and then gently fell to the ground, and pressed the surface of the two "stones" with her hand, and actually fell into a small nest where her fingers could be pressed. The strange thing is that if you look at it on the surface, the color and texture are exactly the same as that of stone, but I didn't expect it to be a stone.

Just as Sister Li and I were stunned as we looked at these two strange things, Du Hongmei suddenly turned her head and asked the two of us: "Do you remember the monster that Xiao Lei said about attacking him just now?" It looks like a strangely shaped stone monkey, don't you think there's a resemblance to these two things? That is, from the surface texture, it looks like a stone, but in reality it is not. ”

"Hongmei, look at this irregular stone, the shape is very strange, I think it looks so familiar, as if I have seen a similar shape somewhere before, but I can't remember it for a while." Sister Li pointed to the round "stone egg" and the stone that was brought up together.

I leaned in to take a closer look, and the shape was a little familiar, but what did it look like? I can't recall it right away, either.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice behind me say, "It looks like an embryo of a feeding animal." It turned out that Xiao Lei came back from taking a bath. The three of us were so engrossed in observing these two strange things that we didn't notice him.

That's right, after Xiao Lei's reminder, Sister Li and I took a closer look, and it was indeed very similar. What's going on here? Du Hongmei couldn't help but smile when she saw that the three of us turned their eyes to her. From that confident expression, we knew that she did understand the secret.

"Hongmei, don't sell Guanzi, tell us quickly, what the hell is going on, I think this qiē is too weird, I have been in a trance until now, as if I am in a dream." Du Hongmei looked at Xiao Lei, pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded at him gently and firmly.

But she didn't immediately explain what these strange phenomena were all about, but suddenly asked us an inexplicable question: "I think everyone has read Journey to the West, and must think that the way Sun Wukong was born - saying that it is a stone, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, giving birth to a stone egg in it, and then turning into a stone monkey - is completely a novelist's fabrication, right?" ”

We didn't know exactly what she was trying to say, but we just nodded in agreement.

Du Hongmei suddenly stared into the distance, as if she was in some kind of contemplation, and then continued faintly: "Xiao Lei, in fact, the monster you saw like a stone monkey in the cave may be the prototype of Sun Wukong, and this similar monster has always been recorded in the notes of the ancients and wild history legends."

"So how did such a monster come about?" , Xiao Lei asked next.

Du Hongmei didn't rush to answer, but squatted on the ground as if she was a little tired and a little relieved, and motioned for us to sit down. When we sat around, she carefully recounted the before and after.

It turned out that after Du Hongmei repeatedly studied the meridians of the mountain, she determined that the location where we were located was the place where the yin veins of the mountain passed. All kinds of weirdness about this mountain are inseparable from this yin vein, and where the yin vein passes, there will be many strange phenomena. For example, what we saw last night, on a special full moon night, a large gap will be cracked here, and the yin energy emitted will cause many nearby animals to gather and come into heat again. Du Hongmei also told us that there is another phenomenon that we did not see last night - that is, there are many animals that will walk towards the crack, and there will be some animals who are confused by this yin qi and fall into the gap and die. And the carcasses of many animals that Xiao Lei saw in the cave were caused in this way. So why didn't this happen last night? The reason is very simple, it is that there are a few of us here, and the flashlight is shining, so no animal dares to come.

And that's not even more fantastic.

Hongmei said that the most amazing thing is that this "feminine mountain" is like a woman, and it also ovulates, and it is discharged on the night of the full moon. The layers of "cobblestone eggs" we see are actually the eggs of this mountain row, but although this kind of egg looks like a stone on the surface, it is not, it is a falling flesh of those animals, condensed under the action of powerful yin qi.

What's even more incredible is that this special egg, if it encounters the essence of a male animal that falls, if all the conditions are suitable, it will form a special monster like sperm and egg encounter, such as the monster that Xiao Lei met in the cave, which is how it was formed.

We were stunned by all this, and it was amazing, incredible.

However, Hongmei added that the chance of breeding into a monster is extremely low, and most of the eggs are not even "fertilized", and even if they are "fertilized", it is difficult to have a chance to really develop into a living monster - like the one Xiao Lei encountered.

When Sister Li heard this, she seemed to realize something and said, "Is it the strange thing that looks like an embryo, or the embryo that has not finally developed into a monster."

"Sister Li is right, that's it," Du Hongmei praised.

Unexpectedly, this mountain is simply a secret realm in the world full of infinite mysteries and magic, it seems to be calm and ordinary, but it is extremely strange. And the blind man is obviously using this mountain to deal with us, and to deal with him, we must fully understand this mountain, and only the more we know, the more likely it is to defeat him.

A tall blind man with an abnormal endowment, a monster who is half human and half sheep, and such a mountain, almost beyond human imagination, is indeed difficult to deal with.

Time flies so fast, before we know it, the sun has begun to turn west again, we decided to return, yesterday's hard work, plus last night barely slept, today after tossing for most of the day, we are indeed tired. The so-called matching of men and women, work is not tired, it really makes sense, a philosopher said "where men and women are mixed, in fact, it is not a bitter place", it makes sense, we are two men and two women, on the way back, in order to lift the spirit, while walking to engage in love song duet, not to mention, it really works.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the appointed driver had been waiting for us for almost an hour.

Because they are all mountain roads, so the car is not fast, when I returned to the city home, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, Sister Li and Xiao Lei are living at my cousin's house, Sister Li and I went home separately, I don't know how a few of them are, anyway, I was fighting to return home, after taking a happy hot bath, I was paralyzed on the bed, and fell asleep.

But before I went to bed, I still didn't forget to put the gas mask and anesthesia gun within reach of the bedside, and carefully closed all the aluminum alloy doors and windows in all rooms.

When I woke up, it was already eleven o'clock the next morning, and I had never slept so soundly. Lying on the bed, I felt very sore all over. However, because we agreed today to meet at my cousin's house in the afternoon, we still gritted our teeth and got up.

As I washed up in the bathroom, I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw myself in the mirror—because from the mirror, I could clearly feel my seal black.

What's going on? I often hear people say that if Yintang is black, there will be bad luck, although I don't believe in this, but I still feel a little uncomfortable. I've never been in this situation, why did this happen suddenly, could it be related to this experience in the mountains, could it be that it was affected by yin energy? But fortunately, except for being a little tired and sore, I didn't feel anything abnormal on my body. I can just go to my cousin's house and ask Du Hongmei what the hell is going on.

It was a sunny day outside, cloudless, it was almost noon, it was just the scorching sun, and I was not used to wearing a hat, so I only wore a pair of sunglasses and rode straight to my cousin's house.

When I knocked on the door and entered, Sister Li had already arrived, and she was lying on the couch in the living room, and Du Hongmei massaged her. My cousin looked at my complexion and said with a smile: "Xiao Ming is fine, Yintang is only a little dark."

Oh? My cousin seems to have known that my Yintang is going to turn black, and that should be Du Hongmei suing him, looking at his way of talking and laughing, it should be nothing wrong with this phenomenon, so I am also relieved. However, my cousin said that my Yintang was only "a little" dark, but it was very "dark", I hurriedly walked to the mirror, but I didn't expect that the black of Yintang was much lighter, is it the effect of sunlight on the way?

"Hongmei, Yintang is dark, is it because it has something to do with our trip to the mountains?" When I asked her, she looked at me and it still made me feel a little bit of a fawn.

"Ha, yes, are you still quite strong in reasoning", Hongmei replied with a charming smile while massaging Sister Li.
