Chapter Forty-Six: Bi Mo Shu
I hurriedly told Long Xiaoman this question, but Xiaohui on the side took over and said, "I don't know, this is called Bi Moshu!" ”
"Bi Moshu?" I hear it and it feels fresh.
Xiaohui walked in front of me and explained, "It is a religion of the Yi people, with a history of thousands of years, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang raised troops to attack, but was hindered by Bi Moshu, although he finally won the victory and captured Meng seven times, but also paid an extremely painful price. ”
"Zhuge Liang had lingering palpitations about this, and tore off half of Bi Moshu and burned it, and those half of the books recorded were some extremely lethal methods, so until now, Bi Moshu can only do some non-lethal things such as medical divination, searching for people, and sacrificing."
I secretly admired Xiaohui's erudition, this guy seems cynical, but he seems to have endless knowledge in his stomach, and it feels like he knows a little bit about everything.
The mountain road was rugged and difficult, and the rooster who led the way walked in front of it swaying, and sometimes he would go the wrong way, and the old man had to recite the Bimo mantra again, which was much less efficient than the little fat man's small spell.
The pace of the march was unusually slow, and by the time I reached the halfway point of the mountain, I was already so tired that my legs and stomach were weak, and I looked at the towering mountain, and I did not know how long it would take to reach it, so I suggested that I sit down and rest for a while before walking.
My proposal was immediately approved by Xiaohui, and it seemed that he was a little overwhelmed, Long Xiaoman put up a pergola and looked at the top of the mountain, and didn't say much, but she didn't look much better.
"No, no, no!" When the old man heard that we were going to rest, he suddenly stopped, "This is a place where evil dragons haunt, if we are discovered by evil dragons, we can't run any of us, and if we want to rest, we must go to the front." ”
I looked at the old man's serious appearance, and secretly thought it was funny, dragons are all fiction in legends, how can there be such a thing in the world.
I quipped at him, "This whole mountain is the territory of the evil dragon you mentioned, and if it wants to harm us, where we rest will be different." ”
The old man shook his head like a rattle, obviously disagreeing with me, but finding no reason to refute my statement, his face flushed.
"Alright, let's sit down and rest for a while, if there is a dragon, we must at least have enough strength to fight it."
Xiaohui looked around, "You guys wait here, I'll go ahead and explore the way." ”
I found a stone and blew it clean, and let Long Xiaoman sit on it, but I just found a tree to sit on the bottom and rest.
The old man saw that we were not leaving, so he had to sigh, squatted beside him with his big, and muttered that we were not sensible.
I gave him a cigarette, said he didn't need to be nervous, he was fine, and quipped him, "Have you ever seen that dragon?" ”
The old man shook his head, "I haven't seen it." ”
I said, "That's the end of it, you haven't seen it, maybe it's just a legend." ”
As soon as the old man heard this, he immediately stopped, and his face turned red, "Don't talk nonsense, you little doll, if the evil dragon hears it, it will chew us all and swallow us in our stomachs." ”
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, he continued, "This mountain is far more complicated than you imagined, in addition to the evil dragon, there are many mountain ghosts, all of whom eat people and don't spit out bones. ”
I asked him what the mountain ghost looked like, and he said seriously, "This mountain ghost is taller than a human, has three eyes, a green face, a mouth bigger than a basin for eating, teeth sharper than a hunting knife, and likes to eat people's hearts the most. ”
I pretended to be scared and said, "Wow, that's so scary, have you ever seen a mountain ghost?" ”
"I haven't seen it, but when I was a child, a relative of mine saw it, and he told me what the mountain ghost looked like."
I asked him again, "Then when he saw a mountain ghost, why wasn't his heart pulled out by the mountain ghost, didn't you just say that no one who meets a mountain ghost can live?" ”
"This ......" the old man was speechless for a while, but still insisted on his statement, "I don't know, but there must be mountain ghosts." ”
I wanted to say something, but when I saw Long Xiaoman glaring at me, I didn't continue.
Seeing that Long Xiaoman's face was a little unpleasant, I quickly unscrewed the lid of the kettle and handed it over, she took a sip, glanced at me and said, "Don't talk nonsense, there are many taboos in the mountains." ”
I didn't think so, saying that those were just unrealistic rumors, Long Xiaoman asked me, "You haven't seen ghosts before, does that mean there are no ghosts in this world?" ”
I froze, scratching my head in embarrassment, "That's right......"
Long Xiaoman is right, if anyone told me that there are ghosts in this world before, I will definitely treat him as a psychopath. But after experiencing it myself, I realized that there are too many things in this world that we don't know, and perhaps human cognition of this world is only the tip of the iceberg so far.
It's been about an hour since Xiaohui left, and it's already dark, but I can't help but be a little worried when I don't see him come back.
Long Xiaoman also looked a little worried, just as we were about to go to him, we suddenly heard a rumbling sound in front of us, like the sound of a strong wind, but we didn't see the trees shaking.
Xiaohui suddenly ran from the front out of breath and shouted at us, "Run, run!" ”
The old man's reaction was so quick that he slipped away and disappeared, ignoring even his big precious.
I was still in a daze, but I was grabbed by Long Xiaoman and ran quickly towards the back.
Airplanes!
The rumbling sound behind us was overwhelming, and it should be behind us.
I instinctively turned my head to look behind me, and my heart shrank.
I only saw a layer of black oppressive things covering the sky, and it turned out to be countless buzzing small insects, crushing towards us like dark clouds.
"Ahh
I suddenly felt a needle prick in one arm, and when I looked up, I saw a black strange insect the size of a thumb biting on my arm, the pain was as deep as bone marrow, and a small piece of flesh was torn off from the place where I had been bitten!
The pain was like an electric shock, and it instantly filled my whole body, and I felt like my head was about to burst.
By this time, I couldn't tell the difference between the east and the west, and there was a black fog all around, accompanied by a deafening buzzing sound, and I could still hear the clicking sound of the teeth of those strange insects.
I ran in one direction like crazy with my head in my hands, my neck and back numb with pain, and countless strange insects crawling around me.
Just when I was about to lose it, I suddenly felt that there was a tall and burly figure around me for some time, and before I could see him, I felt a slap on the back, and I flew out.
Syllable!
I landed heavily on a slope, rolled down the slope, and finally fell into a cold, biting pool of water with a thud.
The severe pain in my body, coupled with the cold water, made me completely lose the strength to struggle, my body sank little by little, and my consciousness became more and more blurred.
Vaguely, I seemed to see a large long black figure writhing towards me in front of me, and then I felt something supporting my body and floating upwards a little.
I crawled on the thing's back, it felt slippery, and then I slowly lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I found that it was already dawn, I rubbed my eyes, struggled to get up from the ground, and felt like my whole body was about to fall apart.
I looked around, not knowing where I was, but in front of me was a bottomless octagonal pool with a high slope behind it.
I felt dizzy and dizzy, vaguely remembering what happened yesterday, and hurriedly shouted the names of Long Xiaoman and Xiaohui, but there was no response.
I climbed up the slope, instinctively walking around the neighborhood while shouting the names of Long Xiaoman and Xiaohui.
Click!
Suddenly, I felt something step on, and when I looked down, it was the skeleton of an animal, which looked fresh, as if it had just been scraped alive, and there were a few dead black monsters scattered around me.
After walking for a while, I came across several more skeletons of the same animal, and finally came to the same place yesterday.
But he didn't see Long Xiaoman and Xiaohui, only saw a complete poultry skeleton on the ground, and from the few feathers scattered next to it, it should be the big rooster that led the way.
"Long Xiaoman!"
I shouted loudly all around, but there was no response, and I was anxious that they would be like this chicken, gnawed into a skeleton by those strange insects.
Luckily, I was relieved that I didn't find a human skeleton nearby.
I was tired and hungry alone, Long Xiaoman and Xiaohui were nowhere to be found, barren mountains and mountains, let alone people, I couldn't even hear a bird's call, and a huge fear enveloped me.
To make matters worse, after walking aimlessly in the mountains for a while, I found that I had lost my way.
At this time, I was on the verge of collapse both physically and mentally, and when it was almost dark, I finally couldn't hold it anymore, and I didn't care about any safety or insecurity, so I fell asleep directly at the foot of a big tree.
"Little comrade, wake up, wake up."
Just as I was falling asleep, I felt someone pushing me, I rubbed my eyes, and saw an old man with glasses standing in front of me, followed by a dozen young people in their twenties.
I was stunned at first, and then I felt that the spirit came at once, and I was so excited that I wanted to go up and hug each other.
Seeing a living person at such a time is like seeing a relative.
The old man said that they were from the expedition, and that they were all his students, and that they were going to camp here again, and asked me why I was here alone.
I didn't tell them the real reason, I just said that we were here to play, and that we got lost and separated from our companions.
The old man took out some dry food and handed it to me, and I took it and devoured it, and the old man and the students behind him laughed happily when they saw me.
Suddenly, a young man walked up to me, stared at my shoulder for a moment, and then pointed to my shoulder and said, "Professor, look, he has a dragon scale on his body!" ”
