Chapter Seventy-Eight: Shenmu Dang
I carefully weaved my way through the mangroves, which were not easy to row, and there were many broken branches and dead trees and large piles of dead leaves.
Countless thick tree trunks lay across the water, and roots of all sizes hung down from them and protruded into the water, and I had to carefully circumvent them to avoid the dead branches and roots.
I looked up at the sky, and the foliage of the mangrove trees was so lush that it obscured the entire sky, only the sporadic sunlight refracted through the gaps in the leaves, and the forest on the water was very dim, like dusk, giving people a strange feeling.
"What the hell is this place, it looks like no one has been here for a long time, Xiao Jiu, we have to be careful!"
"Wow!
My wooden paddle paddled across the water, bringing with it the sound of a string of oars.
"It's strange, this place is so frighteningly quiet, this forest is so strange, we've been paddling for so long, the water is so clear, we haven't seen a single fish in it, and we haven't seen a bird in the trees!
I felt a sense of alarm in my heart, this place was really evil, except for the sound of my paddling, there was no sound at all, it was like a sleeping world, it was so quiet, it was a dead silence, could it be that there were ghosts here.
As a disciple of the Wumen, I should not be afraid of ghosts, but now I find that the Wu Yuan in my dantian is actually imprisoned, and the Black Stone Soul City on my wrist is now just an ornament, and I can't give full play to my ability, so how can I not be in a hurry.
If I really encounter a ghost in this ghost place, I can't use my powerful witch service ghost methods, isn't this fatal?
I wielded big scissors in both hands, ready to meet the enemy, and I prayed in my heart that I would never meet a ghost.
I paddled as gently as I could, trying not to disturb everything around me, and finally after half an hour, I came out, and I finally got out of this mangrove forest.
The world suddenly lit up, and I also saw the shore not far away, behind the shore is a large continuous mountain range, the vegetation is lush, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, and it is very eye-catching.
I took a deep breath of air, it was very fresh and refreshing, and a hanging heart relaxed.
"Haha, I'm finally out!"
A small fishing boat was floating on the shore not far away, and an old fisherman in a cloak was casting his nets to catch fish.
"Ahh
When the old fisherman saw me, he suddenly pointed at me and began to scream as if he had seen a ghost.
I'll admit that I'm all black now, and I'm wearing only a straw skirt, but I don't want to scare the old fisherman like this, I looked myself up and down, and there was nothing scary about it.
"Don't be afraid, old fisherman, I'm not a bad person!"
I stood up and waved at the old fisherman, shouting.
"Housheng, hurry up, come here!"
The old fisherman waved at me, and the look on the old fisherman's face was terrified.
"Okay, I'm here!"
"Housheng, you, you came out of the Divine Wood Swing?"
"Where is Shenmudang?"
"There it is!"
The old fisherman pointed behind me with his hand, and I turned my head to see that a thick mahogany was engraved with three big characters of Shenmu Dang, and the three words of Shenmu Dang were like being chopped out with a sharp weapon, and every stroke was made with sonorous power, and it was done by a master at a glance.
"Housheng, you, did you really come out of the Divine Wood Swing?"
"If this mangrove forest is Shenmudang, then I did come out of it. ”
"You, you, you..."
"Uncle, my name is Mo Jiang, haven't you asked my husband how to call him?"
"My surname is Lu, everyone in the village calls me Lao Lu, you can also call me Lao Lu, come with me in the future, hurry up." ”
"Old Lu, come with you, where are you going?"
"Little Brother Mo, you don't know, this forest can't be absolutely not entered, this is a Jedi, no one dares to enter it for hundreds of years, and none of the people who go in can come out again. ”
"Can you get in or out?"
"There's a ghost in there!"
"It's a little eerie in there, but I don't see any of them. ”
"Little Brother Mo is really good, look at you naked, if you don't dislike it, Lao Lu has some coarse cloth clothes at home, and he can barely wear them. ”
"Okay, then the kid won't postpone it, thank you. ”
Looking at the old fisherman's sympathetic expression, I was a little difficult to refuse him, anyway, I don't have a place to go now, not even a piece of clothing, so I should go to the old fisherman's house for a while, and then find a chance to repay him later.
"Little Brother Mo, tell Lao Lu, what does that Shenmu Dang look like?"
"There is nothing special in the woods except that the light is a little dim, and there are some dead trees and leaves on the water. ”
"Old Lu, you still call me Mo Jiang. ”
"Okay, Mo Jiang, you really haven't seen anything special in there, such as women... People?"
"Old Lu, you're asking me if there are any female ghosts in there, right?"
"No, no, no, fairy fairy!"
"Hahahaha, Lao Lu, you are too bold, you don't even dare to say the word female ghost. ”
"Sin sin, sin and sin let's go ashore quickly!"
When Lao Lu heard me say the word female ghost, his face changed with fright, if I told him about the old village chief, I must not scare him to death.
Lao Lu tied the fishing boat to a dead tree stump on the shore, took the catch, and hurried ashore.
"Mo Jiang, why is the big scissors on your back so big, what are they used for?"
"Oh, I'm a tailor, and these big scissors are used to cut cloth, which I have passed down from my ancestors. ”
"Lao Lu, I've never seen such big scissors, today is really an eye-opener, uh, Mo Jiang, I still have a few coarse linen skins at home, can you cut a piece of clothing for me, you see I'm full of holes, the women in the village have to hide when they see me." ”
At the end, Lao Lu's face turned red, revealing a very embarrassed expression.
"You don't have anyone at home to mend your clothes?"
"Lao Lu grew up in a poor family, and he has never been married in his life, and he has no brothers and sisters. ”
"Okay, I'll just take care of the clothes. ”
"Little Brother Mojiang, you are really a good guy, have you ever started a family?" Lao Lu turned around and introduced you to the most beautiful girl in the village. ”
"Well, I'll talk about that later. ”
Lao Lu spoke very long-winded, but I didn't feel annoyed at all, Lao Lu reminded me of my cheap daddy Mo Deqian, and I don't know what happened to him.
"Old Lu, what's the matter with your feet?"
Old Lu walked in front with a fishing net, twisting and turning, and it seemed that one leg was long and the other was short.
"When I was young, I went into the mountains to hunt, and I accidentally fell and broke my right leg, but fortunately, I met people from the neighboring villages, and finally found a life, and then I couldn't enter the mountains, so I could only fish in this water for a living. ”
"Didn't you heal it?"
"How can we poor people have the money to heal their legs, as long as we can live, I am also considered to be fateful, so I have chosen a life, and many hunters in the village have never been able to come back after entering the mountains. ”
"Old Lu, don't worry, I'll find a way to heal your leg. ”
"Lao Lu first thanked Brother Mo for his kindness, when he arrived, Lao Lu's dilapidated house was there. ”
Lao Lu pointed to two broken wooden houses at the foot of the mountain not far away and said.
I looked in the direction pointed by Lao Lu, and there were dozens of wooden houses built high and low on one side of the mountain, with strange traffic, chickens and dogs smelling each other, bamboo planted in front of the house, and mulberry planted behind the house, which was like a small mountain village with dozens of families.
I was following Old Lou towards his house when suddenly there was a giggling laugh on the path ahead.
A group of three or four five or six-year-old children, giggling, ran out of the door of a house, running on the head of a child at the front, carrying a big red belly pocket, and the child put the big red belly pocket on his head with two hands and put it on his head as a red hijab.
A child in the back was even more excessive, with a pair of big girl's red shorts on his head, which looked like he was wearing the innermost kind of close-fitting clothes, and a group of children laughed while running.
"The bride is married, the bride is married, hahahaha. ”
A group of children were heckling in the back.
Behind a group of children, a big girl chased out of the door, holding a long broom in her hand, angry and screaming as she chased.
"Give it back to me, give it back to me, a bunch of little rabbits, I'll go back and tell your parents!"
"The bride is married, the bride is married, hahahaha. ”
A group of children shouted and ran towards me and Lou.
"That's the show girl, a bunch of little rabbit cubs are so naughty, they actually steal other people's underwear to play, it's too much!"
"A bunny bunny, put down the show girl's things!"
Lao Lu stopped a group of children in their way and shouted loudly.
"Grin..."
A group of children stuck out their tongues at Lao Lu, rolled their eyes and grimaced.
"The short-legged Lu can't run fast, and he follows his ass and nibbles on pickles!"
A group of children were not afraid of Lao Lu at all, and they were so angry that Lao Lu blew his beard and glared.
Seeing a group of children running past us and running past us, I certainly couldn't stand idly by, so I stepped in front of the leader and snatched the red belly pockets and red pants of the two children on top of their heads.
"Ah, where did the come from!"
These children were just naughty, and they didn't even notice me, and they can't blame me, I was all black, and Lao Lu was in front of me, and no one noticed me.
"Ah, in a skirt!"
"Yikes!"
I opened my mouth wide and spread my hands to pounce, causing a bunch of kids to run away.
The big girl ran over panting, this big girl was born very smart, with big eyes and a goose egg face, and a good figure.
When the eldest girl saw me, and the red belly pocket and short red trousers I held in my hand, her cheeks turned crimson all the way to the back of her ears, and she was very shy when she looked at me.
"Ah Xiu, it's not Grandpa Lu, I'm talking about you, you don't even put away your own underwear, why did you let these little rabbits steal out to play?"
"Grandpa Lu, the sun is good today, I turned the things in the cabinet out to dry, and I also closed the courtyard door, but this group of little rabbits came in over the wall, it was really mischievous, I will definitely sue their father and mother when I turn around." ”
"Here you go!"
I gave the big girl's red belly pocket and short red pants back to her, and the big girl grabbed the red belly pocket and short red pants and turned her head and ran, without saying a word.
"How can there be a big man who doesn't wear clothes and skirts, it's really not ashamed!"
