The flashlight of the large group and the big head shone on the figure at the same time, and I realized that it was not a human at all, but a primate that resembled a human, covered with black hair. Because it was very fast, it was fleeting, so all three of us had a preconceived view of it as a human being.

"Spirit ape, there is a spirit ape here." It was the big group that spoke, and he muttered in a somewhat exclamatory tone as he pointed at the primate.

"Datuan, do you know this thing?" The big head asked in a low voice to the big group next to him, and the big group was about to speak, but there was a sudden change over there, and he swallowed those words back alive.

I saw that the big white snake attacked the spirit ape fiercely, and the blood basin seemed to swallow the spirit ape whole. Just as the moment of the moment, the spirit ape once again showed its agility and speed, and quickly flashed to the side. The big white snake missed the blow and turned its head to attack again, and the spirit ape dodged again.

The body of the big white snake has all come out of the Buddha statue, about seven or eight meters long, and it flicked its tail like a spirit ape smashed over, and the spirit ape dodged left and right lightly.

At this time, I realized that the two forelimbs of the spirit ape were holding an egg, which looked very much like a snake egg. Now we finally know why the big white snake is angry, it turns out that this spirit ape stole the snake egg.

Although the hall is very spacey, it can't stand these two tossing like this, and soon the three of me and the big head and the big group will have no place to stand, so we can only stand against the wall.

"Qiangzi, what should I do?" When the big head encounters this kind of question, he habitually asks me.

I looked at the distance between the stone gate and us, and it was supposed to be safe. Then he said to the big group next to him: "Big group, fry it." ”

Hearing what I said, Da Tuan no longer hesitated, put down the shovel in his hand, reached out and took out the grenade that had been loaded into the backpack just now. However, he didn't rush to throw it, but pointed to me and Datuan, pointed to the girder above his head and asked, "Shall we go up first?" ”

We haven't made a decision yet, and the Spirit Ape and the Great White Snake have already made it for us. I saw that the spirit ape over there climbed up the three-story beam along the wall with three or two feet, and the big white snake jumped into the air and directly crashed into the spirit ape. This collision is so powerful that if it is hit, the spirit ape will definitely have to turn into a meat pie.

However, the dexterity of the spirit ape made it easy to dodge, and the big white snake hit the girder directly this time, and the girder broke in response. In this way, the spirit ape jumped around on the girder, and the big white snake bumped around on the girder, and the girder was broken little by little, and we couldn't go up.

After seeing this scene, the three of us didn't have to think about whether to go up or not. After making an OK gesture to the big group, Big Head and I quickly lay down at the base of the wall, covering our ears with our hands, waiting for the explosion. After Datuan threw the grenade on the edge of the stone gate, he also lay down there like my sister.

The action of throwing the grenade aroused the curiosity of the spirit ape, and as soon as he got rid of the entanglement of the big snake, the spirit ape quickly ran in the direction of the grenade. And the big snake really followed closely behind, and also came towards us.

I was shocked, and prayed to myself that the ape would not pick up the grenade and throw it at us. I don't know if it's because my prayers work, or if the ape's ability to predict danger is too strong, anyway, when there is still a certain distance from the grenade, the ape slows down and looks over there.

At this moment, most of the spirit ape's attention was on the grenade, and the big white snake behind it rushed over suddenly, and it was about to bite the spirit ape, and at this moment, the grenade exploded.

The spirit ape threw the snake egg in his hand, quickly covered his ears with his two forelimbs like a human, and lay down on the ground. The big white snake that came quickly was hit by the flying rocks and bounced back at that time.

In the corner of the wall, I and the big head and the three people were almost hit by the beams that collapsed from above, but they were also disgraced.

When the smoke cleared, the spirit ape seemed to have seen something strange, and "squeaked" loudly twice, and rushed out along the stone gate with his hands dancing. The big snake, who was injured and bleeding from behind, also got up and chased out, and in an instant there were only three of us left in this hall.

"Hadron, this, what should I do?" The big head asked, pointing to the ostrich egg-sized snake egg in the ground.

When I saw this snake egg, I was nervous again, not only because I was afraid that the big snake would come back suddenly, but because I saw this snake egg, which was already a little cracked. The little white snake that hatched from the cracked snake egg last time almost caught us, and I don't know if there will be another one this time.

"Otherwise, leave it here alone, let's go." Datuan also obviously felt some fear at the snake egg, which was already a little cracked.

But the question now is, where to go. I finally blew up a passage just now, but I didn't expect the big snake and the spirit ape to go out towards that stone gate at the same time, if we go anywhere, it is very likely that we will meet them, this is not what I want.

Datuan pointed to the Buddha statue over there, signaling that we can take out a way out from behind the Buddha statue, and now that the big snake and the spirit ape have gone out, then the Buddha statue should be safe.

I think it's right, since the big white snakes have run out, as long as we don't break the Buddha statue and expose the snake eggs inside, even the little snakes hatch out, and they won't come out to attack us right away.

Just do it, this time we didn't use grenades, not only because we were afraid of blowing up the Buddha statue and seeing the cruel scene and the snake eggs that might hatch, but more importantly, we only had this last grenade left, and we had to keep it for later. And the flashlight started to run out of power, so we turned off a flashlight again.

Now I'm holding a flashlight and shining a light, and the big group and big head are by the wall and start digging bricks. Since I had already explored it once before, I easily found the direction and broke through the wall this time.

Soon after, a gap was opened for one person to pass through, and the three of us hurried out of the hall. After coming out, it was a dark tomb road, and I didn't know where it led, let alone where the big snake and the spirit ape would be.

I looked left and right, signaling to walk in a direction far away from the stone gate that had just exploded. After walking for a few minutes, I didn't meet the big white snake and the spirit ape, so I relaxed my pace a little.

"Datuan, how do you know that thing is a spirit ape?" This question, after hearing Datuan say the spirit ape, I wanted to ask it, but it was only delayed until now.

"Actually, I haven't seen it either, but I've heard from the older generation that I thought it was very similar after seeing it just now, so I shouted it, which is really incredible." Da Tuan said with a sigh.

After a large group of explanations, I figured out what was going on with this spirit ape. Datuan said that the river diggers have the rules of the river diggers, and every time before digging the river, they must have chicken, duck or pig's head meat, put on the incense table, and after some prayers, throw the meat they brought, and wait until they can't see it before they start.

This is like worshipping the river god, after not seeing it, it is equivalent to the river god giving these gifts, so as to no longer embarrass them as river diggers. If the tribute dropped was just a swirl in the river, then the river diggers would turn around and leave, no longer bothering about the idea of being here. This is almost the same as touching the gold captain, the rooster cries and the lights go out and does not touch the gold.

It's just that with the development of the times, now more and more people digging the river no longer care about this form, as long as it is profitable, they will go down the river, and no one cares about the problem of respecting the river god.

According to legend, this spirit ape is the messenger of the river god, and the older generation of people said that when they saw the tribute to the river god, they were all brought back by this kind of thing and dedicated to the river god. The older generation depicted their appearance very carefully, so after Datuan saw his appearance clearly, he could determine that it was the spirit ape that the older generation was talking about.

According to what Datuan said, I also understood a little, no wonder Datuan was a little surprised when he saw the spirit ape, it turned out that in his heart, he still regarded this spirit ape as the messenger of the river god.

"Datuan, you mean, this thing eats meat? It can't be a water ghost, dragging people into the water and eating them. "The logic of the big head really makes me a little unable to keep up, but there is indeed such a possibility.

"It's right for a spirit ape to eat meat, but it doesn't eat people, on the contrary, it has saved people." Datuan's impression of the spirit ape seemed to be so good that no one was allowed to doubt it.

Next, Datuan told the story of the spirit ape saving people. It was when he was a child, and the times were still very chaotic, and many people in the village were forced to be helpless, so they could only be this river digger.

At that time, before digging the river, the ceremony was very heavy and grand, for fear that the river god would be angry. He was also watching the excitement by the river at that time, and when he saw the huge pig's head sinking into the river with only a shallow layer of water, the adults around him were very excited, and in his very small opinion, it was like a festival.

Immediately afterwards, many people in the village went into the water with tools, and the water level just above their knees was the best place to start digging the river, and the water will be shallower and shallower today.

But something happened on the first day, there was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy in the village, a little far away from the others, and no one cared about anyone at that time, just bent on digging for treasures. Later, when I went ashore, the young man's grandmother asked one by one, only to find that the person was gone.

At that time, the people were relatively simple, and the family couldn't find anyone, and almost every family helped, and searched all over the river, but still didn't find it. The whole village searched for three days, but they couldn't find a shadow, and his family gave up.

But early on the morning of the fourth day, the young man was seen lying on the bank of the river, soaking wet, with his trousers torn and his legs covered with bright red scars.

After the guy woke up, he told the truth, it turned out that in the process of digging the river, he stepped into the mud, and then was dragged into the river by something he didn't know. dragged all the way down the river, and just when the guy was about to suffocate, he suddenly felt a loosening of his leg and struggled.

At that time, the young man's mind was already not clear, but he saw an ape-like thing beside him, holding a chicken and grinning at his porcelain teeth, and the chicken was the tribute they threw into the river when they worshiped the river god. When he woke up again, he was already at home.

Therefore, the older generation of river digging people are even more serious about worshiping the river god, they think that this guy can come back, because they worshiped the river god before going down the river, and the river god also accepted the tribute, so when there is danger, the river god sent a spirit ape to help save people.
