I didn't believe that Master knew the root cause of the bizarre murder, so I asked him to say it first, and Master looked like he was holding the wisdom pearl, and said quite proudly: "I took a nap just now, and the mountain god came to give me a dream, this gold mine is his wealth, and mortals are not allowed to touch it, so a little magic scared away the miners, if you dare to come again, you will be severely punished." So we can't control this matter, go back and tell Chen Youyuan, believe it or not. ”

I was stunned: "The mountain god gave you a dream? What does the mountain god look like? ”

"Golden armor and red robe, holding Fang Tian's halberd, very majestic, must be a famous general in ancient times, and after his death, the heroic spirit was sealed as the mountain god of this place." Master is still full of confidence.

I was angry and funny: "So will the mountain god control all the miners to eat one person?" This is the act of the devil! ”

The master immediately retorted: "That's just your speculation, it may not be true!" ”

"Well, since you don't believe my speculation, then listen to what I just experienced......" I recounted what had just happened, including my confused state, and all my feelings, how the demon fox helped me.

The master was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he say, "I'll tell you what that monster looks like." ”

I recalled, and said it in as much detail as I could: "They are about one meter and two meters tall, most of them are only one meter tall, bald, with long pointed ears, barefoot, long hands, some fat, and a high bulge on their backs, a bit like a hunchback, like a dwarf." But they have two pairs of fangs, sparse short hair in most parts of their body, less hair on their faces and on their chests, and have distinct male and female characteristics, and some wear tattered clothes......"

"Sure enough, it's a lost camel!" Master cried out in surprise.

"What did you say?"

"That kind of monster is called 'Lost Camel', also called 'Low Camel' (the two names are very similar in dialect), and it used to be very common, and it was common to encounter it at night, and after spring sowing, they would go to the rice fields with torches to find snails, and they would leave their small footprints on the newly built ridges, and even break into the forest keeper's house to 'borrow' pots and pans. But in the past ten years, it has become more and more rare, I thought it was dead, but I didn't expect there to be a nest here! ”

When Master said this, I also remembered that I had heard many stories about lost camels, and even now people joke that children dressed very bloated look like "low camels." It can be said that everyone knows about the camel in our country, but very few people have actually seen it, and young people under the age of 30 have basically not seen it. My second master, Lao Lin, often went out hunting at night, and he had seen him a few times in total, but when he got close, he suddenly disappeared, and he has not seen him up close, which is a deep regret.

I actually met a large group of legendary camels, and almost married a chapel? I was really a little dizzy.

Master waved his hand a little excitedly: "It must be their ghosts, they like to play tricks on people, they like to learn from people, and they are especially good at seducing people, if they offend them, they will use the most cruel methods to retaliate, and the miners must have been killed by them." ”

I asked, "What kind of animals do they belong to, savages?" Monkey? I've never seen any of this animal in the books. ”

Master laughed: "They are not animals at all, but spirits bred by the aura and obstacles of mountains and rivers, and the name in the book is '魍', have you heard of it?" That's it, you certainly won't find them in the animal system. If you don't believe me, the next time you encounter them, you can try them with the Golden Bridge, it works for them, they are both physical and spirit things. ”

I was a little shocked, there really was such a thing as a ghostly ghost, and it was so close to me, but before Master said it, I didn't expect that the monster I saw was the famous camel, and I didn't expect that the camel was one of the famous charms.

Suddenly I thought of a serious problem, I was so scared that they choked and took away their ancient mirrors, will they retaliate against me? Their ability to deceive people is terrifying.

I took out the ancient mirror and handed it to Master, "Master, look at what this thing is?" ”

"Ancient mirror?" Master recognized it at a glance and took it and looked at it under the lamp, and it was only then that I had time to take a closer look. It is slightly larger than the palm of the hand, and the outer ring is an archaic pattern, dark red, like copper but not copper, without a trace of rust. The center is slightly bulging, gray and white, like some kind of jade, neither transparent nor reflective, and cannot be used as a mirror at all. Master flipped to the back, and there was a pattern engraved on it, with clouds at the top and waves at the bottom, a monster breaking through the waves, a bird's head and wings, a fish's belly and a fish's tail, and the lines depicted were simple but expressive.

The master said with some hesitation: "I can't tell what age it is, the picture on the back is the meaning of Kun turning into Peng, which means that there is the ambition of Kunpeng, soaring into the sky, it should be used by a scholar on the desk in ancient times to inspire him...... Hmmm, it contains a strong metallic spiritual power, it may be a magic weapon, it can be used to set up formations, restrain wood ghosts, and there may be other uses, where did you find it?

"Found in the cave of the camel."

Master's face changed: "Return it quickly, don't take their things, if you provoke them, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

I spread my hands: "I'm afraid it's too late, I didn't become their son-in-law and scared them enough, I have already offended them, and besides, we have to solve the problem of gold mines, we must solve them." ”

Master frowned: "They are very difficult to kill, destroy their physical bodies, they can also turn into spirits and escape, and soon they can form physical bodies, only by cutting down the trees in the place where they are rooted, and venting the stagnant breath, they will slowly disappear." ”

"I'm sure their roots are around here, because the gold mines are closing in on their caves and roots, so they're starting to hurt people. Then we just have to clear the trees around here, and they're finished, don't be afraid of them. ”

Master was still a little hesitant, and I asked, "They can also confuse people during the day, right?" ”

"Yes, but maybe not as strong as at night."

"How can I crack their illusions?"

Master thought for a moment: "According to my ancestors' records, you can see through the illusion of water by dripping water from the snail into your eye, but I have never tried it, and I don't know if it has any effect. ”

"So what are you waiting for? We immediately went out of the mountain and informed Chen Youyuan to cut down the trees, they wanted people, guns and guns, and everyone rushed in to kill all the camels with snail water on their eyes, and then cut down all the nearby trees.

Master wanted to say something but stopped, but finally agreed to my plan, because this matter does not require us to do anything, and we can complete the task with an idea, so that the Butterfly Gang will not trouble me anymore. Moreover, the camel is an evil creature, and has already killed two people, so it is necessary to get rid of them.

The problem is solved, but Master and I are a little depressed, because getting rid of the camel means that the primeval forest of Zuihou is gone, and people like Chen Youyuan will destroy the natural environment even more unscrupulously, causing irreversible damage to many people and many creatures, which we do not want to see.

"We only tell him the results of the investigation and how to deal with it, and we don't interfere." Master added.

This is a very popular statement, and of course I agree with it. Before dawn we were on our way, and Master and I were on our way to heighten our vigilance to avoid being bewildered by the camel again. With Master's experience and the sensitivity of my senses, I was able to be controlled without any warning before, which shows how terrifying the Camel Charm Technique is. But now I have an extra layer of protection, the demon fox in my body is already "awake", and it will definitely wake me up at the moment of life and death.

The lucidity of the demon fox is not really awake, it is only a state that can sense me by chance, it may be like a person in a light sleep, and when it encounters a loud sound and a strong vibration, it will be very awake in an instant, so only when I encounter danger, or I enter a special mental state, it will "manifest".

"Master, the demon fox told me that it can also benefit from practicing the Yin and Yang Technique, so can it break away from the seal and become a human again in the future?"

"This ...... If it continues like this, it will definitely break out of the seal, but I don't know if it can leave you and become a human again, which is unprecedented. The master looked extremely worried, and said in a low voice, "You have to guard against it a little, in case it ......."

I couldn't help but laugh, what's the use of lowering my voice? It knows as much as I can hear it, and I'm the same person as it is now. I don't think the demon fox will harm me, maybe it still has a little affection for me, so when I was about to worship with the camel, it was furious, and it tasted a little jealous. Alas, now it is two souls who share a body, more intimate than husband and wife, and it is normal for it to drink a little vinegar.

I suddenly had some anticipation, hoping that it would appear to us again as a human being, or at least our best friend. If I want it to become a human, I have to practice harder, and this is okay, I have another motivation to practice.

The scenery along the way was the same as when we came, Master and I were in normal condition, we were not harassed by the camels, and as the day gradually dawned, Master and I were relieved. In fact, Mituozi is very timid, will not be close to crowded places, rarely clash with people head-on, are hiding in the dark to control people's minds, they probably also know that I am not easy to mess with, so they did not dare to chase.

At about five o'clock in the morning, we arrived at Houqi Village, and the master borrowed the village chief's phone to dial Chen Youyuan's mobile phone, and his extremely impatient voice came from inside: "What's the matter, ...... so early?"

"I'm Zhou Tan, things are a little brows, there is a group of lost camels near the gold mine, they stole things, and they killed people."

"Ah, the camel?" Chen Youyuan exclaimed, obviously he also knew what the lost camel was, "Then, what should I do now?" ”

Master said, "You have two choices, first, give up gold mining; Second, bring more men and guns, and some fresh snails, and kill all the camels, and cut down all the trees near their nests......"

Chen Youyuan said: "No problem, I have as many people as I want, I also have some shotguns, and I can also borrow a few people from the police station to bring pistols, you wait for me over there." ”

The master hurriedly said: "This is how I will deal with this matter for you, the task is completed, and you can do it yourself to kill the lost camel." ”

"Wait until I'm over!" Chen Youyuan cut off the call.
