Chapter 38: It's a human-faced bird

Luo Wenbing is very addicted to smoking, his talking skills, and the fat man's cigarettes have made him smoke most of the box.

He took the cigarette in his hand three or two times until there was only a little cigarette butt left, stuffed it under the sole of his shoe and extinguished it, the fat man shook the cigarette case again, he waved his hand, "Don't smoke, just enjoy it." ”

When he spoke, Wu Xie squatted in front of the iron cage to observe the monkey mother-in-law inside, and saw that it had been shrinking in the corner, its mouth squirming slightly, as if it was really muttering something, and its voice was very low.

Wu Xie was skeptical of Luo Wenbing's words, so he pointed to Granny Monkey and said, "You said that you can understand some of Granny Monkey's words, what is she saying now?" ”

Luo Wenbing walked around to the other side of the cage, approached carefully, and listened carefully for a while, before he was not very sure: "I don't know what it means, just listen to it talking, time to talk, time to talk, I know what it said to talk about time." ”

Wu Xie and the fat man glanced at each other, and they both thought of some possibility, if that was the case, all this would really be calculated by Muyu in advance.

"Open your display case, and I'll take a look at that dried corpse." Wu Xie said to Luo Wenbing.

Luo Wenbing rubbed his nose, untied a large bunch of keys tied to the trouser rope, turned on the lamp with the largest wattage in the yard, and walked to the front room and said: "A few bosses, you don't want to fake it, I already know that you are a group, it is better to buy the spicy dried corpse, and the spicy monkey mother-in-law, I can sleep at night." ”

The fat man followed, and the two brothers patted him on the arm, "Don't worry, I'll break with you when we see it." ”

Luo Wenbing knew that there was a door as soon as he heard it, if he could quickly dispose of this thing, he would be able to feel comfortable, and immediately happily opened the glass door of the cabinet, and moved the dried corpse inside to the courtyard with the fat man.

"Come on, come on, come and see, this thing will be very good when it is put in the ancient corpse realm." Luo Wenbing enthusiastically promoted this ancient corpse, "If you buy it, you will never be beaten, and you will never be fooled." ”

Wu Xie stretched out his hand to push him over, "You don't get in the way, we'll decide whether to buy it or not after we have seen it." ”

As he spoke, he uncovered the rotten linen clothes on the ancient corpse, and carefully looked at the patterns on it, and found that there were many strange animal pictograms, and the closest place to the navel was a scorpion.

The scorpion's eight legs were connected to the petals of the lotus flower, but the last petal went straight to the scorpion's tail and merged with the snake body below.

Moreover, Wu Xie also found that this ancient corpse was outrageously light, and when he uncovered a little chapped skin and looked inside, he found that the inside of this ancient corpse was completely hollowed out, and the entire body was made of bamboo strips inserted into the skin to support the appearance of a human being.

This can be compared to the form of a roast suckling pig, where the whole inside of the dried bamboo strip carcass is supported by thin and strong bamboo.

The fat man touched his stubble and said to Wu Xie, "What do you think this thing looks like?" Isn't it very much like a scarecrow in a rice field that scares sparrows. ”

"Sort of." Wu Xie also felt that this description was very similar.

If his guess is correct, this Gu Gan's corpse was buried in that place, and it did not play a role in entering the earth for peace, and there must be many clues under the wooden tower that Nie Xiaoba and the others found.

He glanced at Nie Xiaoba and the others, then got up and beckoned the fat man to go, "We may have to sleep in the car tonight, go over early, that place is likely to have been taken first." ”

When the fat man heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Hurry up and go, those wild lamas are not as polite as us, and they don't even have oil residue left when they go late." ”

Wu Xie glanced at him speechlessly, "Can you be serious, we are here to get down to business, and I can feel from this ancient corpse that that place is not simple, and you'd better not touch the things inside." ”

The fat man patted his chest and said with a serious face: "That's a must, the fat man and I have a lot of hands, you can rest assured, besides, Muyu is also my brother, and we must put his affairs first." ”

Luo Wenbing was originally waiting for these two big customers who didn't look bad to buy the dried corpse with a wave of their hands, but they didn't expect the two of them to leave directly, and they were in a hurry to stop them.

Before the clinker voice came out of his throat, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and immediately froze, and the white of his eyes rolled and fainted.

Nie Xiaoba caught Luo Wenbing, who was about to fall, and instructed the rest of the guys, "Dafu, you and Tie Tuo go to the stackhouse and drive our car over, a few ha, the cage and the dried corpse are all brought up, and we have to go up the mountain before dawn tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes." A few young men responded and immediately took action.

All the way to the village at the foot of the mountain, looking for a family in the yard to stop the car, Wu Xie looked at the time on the watch, it is now more than 1:40 in the morning, he used the walkie-talkie to inform everyone to hurry up and rest, tomorrow morning at half past four.

Nie Xiaoba, the person who kept watch at night, would naturally arrange it, and he didn't say anything all night.

On the second day, when the sky was slightly bright, they got up, and a large thick cloud gathered on the top of the mountain, so that the little sunlight could not be seen, and a shallow morning mist floated in the mountain forest at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed that it was a very cloudy day today, and I did not know if it would rain later.

Wu Xie and the others hurried to have breakfast at the villager's house, and when they took their equipment and walked on the mountain road, the fat man saw an earthy yellow van parked in the yard of a family, and the surrounding area of the car was covered by forage for the livestock.

"Innocent, look over there, could it be the car of the group that played the monkey digging the grave before?" The fat man said.

Wu Xie took out the binoculars and found a position, and saw that the letter on the front of the license plate of the van was not covered by grass was Chuan D, and he looked at the tightly locked gate.

"It seems that the group of people is local, of course, it is also possible that the locals brought outsiders to look for treasures here." Wu Xie raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Wenbing, who was wilting to the side, and asked him, "Do you know this family?" ”

Luo Wenbing woke up early in the morning to find that he had been kidnapped, and then he realized that what he had met was not an ordinary cultural relics dealer, but a hairy dog who climbed the coffin.

"It's going to be suffered, it's going to be suffered, this time it's really dripping back to talk." Luo Wenbing had a sad face and regretted it.

"What is a man muttering here?" The fat man slapped him, "Hurry up, the third boss asks you something, answer honestly." ”

Luo Wenbing frowned bitterly and sighed, "A few cauldrons, I don't know where you want to get me, really, I swear." ”

The fat thief laughed twice, "Of course, it will take you to cut your fortune, don't be afraid, just cooperate obediently." ”

Luo Wenbing knew that he had accidentally gotten on the thief ship, and now it was too late to get off the ship, so he had to cooperate honestly.

He didn't dare to run, there were so many people, if he ran away, this group of turtle sons would be armed with knives and sticks, and what would happen if they retaliated against his family.

Wu Xie asked again, and Luo Wenbing said: "That's Li Shengbao's house, that turtle son is in his fifties and beats a single, he is a famous second-rate son in our town, and he has been pulled away by the police station many times, it's not a good thing." ”

"But it's a little strange, I got such a big car for a while, isn't it a poor buckle, how can I make a fortune after a while."

Wu Xie knew it, it seemed that the locals and outsiders had come here to fight.

Everyone no longer stayed, and continued to climb over a mountain under the leadership of Luo Wenbing and walk towards Jianping Mountain.

There is only a mule mountain road here, which is so steep and rugged that a bicycle cannot be ridden, and it is estimated that if the speed of the motorcycle is fast, the kung fu man and the car will have to die together.

The mountain is reckless and deep, the scenery is a secluded and lonely scene, full of mystery and cold fog, slowly, there are fewer and fewer people coming out on the side of the road, to the back there are only a few points of mountain people wearing ethnic minority costumes, carrying backpacks to the mountain to catch the morning market.

Wu Xie also saw that there was a little boy who was not much taller than the big back basket on his body, and the back basket behind him was spaced apart, and on one side there were dried herbs, and on the other hand, he curled up with his fingers in his mouth, and his little face was red from sleep.

I heard the child say that his parents had an accident in the mountains a few years ago, and his grandmother left earlier, so he and his little sister were left at home.

The fat man may be a father in a few months, and he can't see this kind of scene, so he secretly stuffed a small pile of money into the pocket of the little sister in the back basket, and specially gave the change in the wallet, and when he left, he also took out a handful of candy from Wu Xie's pocket and put it in the palm of the child's hand.

"Hard-working baby." The fat man sighed faintly, he remembered that when he went to the countryside with the team, he also ran on the mountains with a full pigweed on his back.

The light of day soon and completely brightened, and the Jigong Liangzi they were going to was on the opposite hill, with a cliff in the middle, and when the probe looked down, it was full of fog and clouds.

The fat man looked at Luo Wenbing with unkind eyes, "You kid is not honest, if you hadn't just asked that kid, we would have almost been led astray by you." ”

Luo Wenbing was a sturdy guy with a big waist and a round waist in front of and behind him, where did he dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly explained: "There is a road and a road, the road I led is the right one, don't just look at the chicken Liangzi you see now, in fact, more of it is in Yundian, if you want to go up from the bottom of the mountain, then you can go directly to the province." ”

The fat man snorted coldly, "You kid don't want to play any tricks, how to go?" ”

"Go further, get over the ridge above this village, and follow me."

Luo Wenbing walked in the front, the scattered houses on the mountain were no longer visible, and when they reached a higher place, there was no path at all, and they walked directly in the bushes.

Fearing that snakes would emerge from the grass, everyone broke a long stick in their hands.

In the afternoon, the sky was drizzling, and everyone put on raincoats over their clothes to continue their journey, and finally walked to the place where Luo Wenbing met the ancient corpse of the monkey snake in the evening.

The sky was gloomy, there was no sun, the night was falling fast, the rain was still falling, and there was no way to hurry with a slippery step, Wu Xie ordered to camp here tonight to rest.

Nie Xiaoba commanded the men to set up a tent to hide from the rain, and Wu Xie and the fat man carried Luo Wenbing to the bottom of the Libazi tree.

"This is where you found the dried corpse?" Wu Xie pointed to the grass behind the tree and asked him.

Luo Wenbing nodded, Wu Xie looked up, the leaves and fruits were very dense, and he couldn't see anything strange, so he decided to go up to the tree to take a look.

"Be careful." The fat man told him.

After training with the black blind man for many days, Wu Xie felt that he was much more agile when he climbed the tree, and his hands and feet were as nimble as a monkey, easily climbing to a high place, and holding the branches at hand to stand firmly.

He always remembered the experience Luo Wenbing recounted, when he didn't pay attention to the strange thing when he caught fruit on the fruit tree.

He suspected that there might be something else on the tree, which Luo Wenbing had overlooked.

After half an hour, the fat man below was a little anxious, "Did you find it?" Or I'll come up too, and we'll look for it together. ”

"Found it." Wu Xie poked his head out from among the leaves, with a little smile on his face, and he raised a large lump of black pressed things in his hand, "This is it." ”

After saying that, he slipped down from the tree, and the fat man gave him the towel in his hand, and held a flashlight to shine on the thing, "What kind of thing is this black buzz." ”

Wu Xie wiped the rain off his face and shook the things in his hand, "Let's go, go to the fire and talk in detail." ”

The two returned to the canopy, and Nie Xiaoba hurriedly served two bowls of ginger soup for them to ward off the cold.

"Little Third Master, what have you discovered?" Nie Xiaoba asked curiously.

Wu Xie blew a little, drank it in one go, put down the bowl, turned over the thing he had just gotten from the tree, pointed to a triangular bulge on it, and said, "Look, is it familiar?" ”

The fat man took a closer look, opened his hand to compare it, and hissed, "How does this thing look like a helmet for riding a motorcycle?" But what is this triangular convex for, aren't you afraid of the head? ”

Wu Xie nodded, "That's right, but it's not a helmet, it's a specially made mask, do you remember the dried corpse made of the monkey snake, its head is very, very small, and there is an equally triangular hole in the forehead bone." ”

"This thing was supposed to be the face of the dried corpse, or rather, this thing was the face that the dried corpse really wanted us to see."

Wu Xie said, turning the "helmet" to the front, and the moment he saw the thing clearly, the fat man suddenly gasped.

Under the glow of the fire, the fat man could clearly see that it was the face of a human-faced bird!

"it!" The fat man exclaimed, "What's the matter with this?" How did this ghost bird end up here? ”

Wu Xie's face was solemn, "Do you remember the specimens of the two human heads, snakes and worms that we saw in the secret room of the West Queen Mother's underground palace, and then think about the dried corpses of monkeys and snakes, which are also spliced together by different animal bodies." ”

"Actually, we overlooked one thing at the beginning." Wu Xie Dao.

The fat man looked at the face of the human-faced bird, and finally came back to his senses, "What? ”

"Monkeys are wise." Wu Xie looked at the monkey mother-in-law who was chained to the side under the tree.

"What kind of form is the Gu King who turned into a monster in the story told by Cai Laojiu, and why is he called a monster."

The fat man's mind immediately turned around, "You mean, the Gu King in the Tusi tomb is actually a monkey himself?" ”

"No, maybe not a monkey." Wu Xie stared at Granny Monkey's face tightly, "It's for some reason, atavistic people." ”

In the shadow of the lamplight, Granny Monkey's face seemed to lead to a bewitching smile.

Wu Xie sighed, "It seems that there is destined to be a vicious battle tonight." ”

I'm sorry for all the treasures, I've been dealing with some trivial things in my hometown these days, and I didn't have time to code words, I'm very sorry.

Thank you for the rewards of the big guys such as [Amnesia does not lose you] [the most innocent when I was young], than the heartΒ·Β· *
