Chapter Forty-Three: The Mysterious Man in White

Suo Ba simply stopped, and a bad premonition told him that he might be entangled in something.

Suo Ba looked around and whispered to himself, "Could it be that the trees here all grow similarly?" No, you can't! This tree is too similar. ”

Xiao Dunzi saw Suo Ba standing there stunned, so he walked over and asked, "Brother Starling, why don't you leave?" What do you think of again? ”

Suo Ba frowned and asked, "Little Dunzi, didn't you notice that we were all in the same place when we walked around?" ”

Xiao Dunzi scratched the head of the big pumpkin, shook his head and said, "I didn't notice it!" ”

Suoba pointed to the big tree and said, "Do you think that big tree is the one we slept on last night?" ”

Xiao Dunzi said disapprerovingly: "Aren't all forests like this? The trees are almost the same, and there are many such big trees! ”

Wang Tianjiao fussed and said, "Mom! It looks like it's the real one! We're not going to be bumping into the hell, are we? ”

Xiao Dunzi said: "Big Yanma, can you not be evil? Where the hell did you get in broad daylight? ”

Wang Tianjiao glared at Xiao Dunzi fiercely and said, "I think you are a ghost, you are a big pervert." ”

Xiao Dunzi glanced around with the eyes of a big toad, and then looked at the big tree.

He may also feel that something is not right, and suddenly he feels his scalp tingle and a cool breeze swishing on the back of his neck.

Xiao Dunzi asked, "Starling won't really be like what Yanmar said, right?" ”

Xiao Dunzi's voiceover is saying, starling, we won't really meet ghosts, right?

Suo Ba whispered, "It's hard to say. ”

The three of them approached the tree, Suo Ba took out a dagger and carved a "eight" character on the tree, and after carving the words, the three of them continued to hurry.

Suo Ba made a mark, if they walked and met this carved tree again, it means that they are really in trouble - the ghost hits the wall.

The big toad's eyes were rolling and frightened, and he held the bow and arrow in his hand, ready to shoot it at any time.

Wang Tianjiao worshiped the Buddha while walking, and her mouth was still babbling, but she couldn't hear what she was muttering? Maybe she was asking Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless her!

It's coming, it's coming, whether it's supposed to come or not, and something strange has finally happened.

Xiao Dunzi suddenly exclaimed, "Look, starling." ”

Sure enough, he returned to the carved tree, Wang Tianjiao stood in the middle, holding Xiao Dunzi's arm fiercely with one hand, and pinching Suo Ba's arm with the other.

Suo Ba only felt that his arm was pinched by Wang Tianjiao, and maybe she had pinched out a few big purple bumps!

The more she was afraid, the more her hands trembled, and the more she trembled, the tighter she clenched.

Xiao Dunzi whispered to Wang Tianjiao: "Yanma, can you do it lightly?" You want to strangle me? ”

Wang Tianjiao trembled and said, "I'm afraid! Besides, I didn't choke your neck, as for strangling you? ”

Wang Tianjiao asked Suo Ba again, "Brother Starling, why are we back again?" Are there really ghosts? ”

Xiao Dunzi grabbed the words and asked, "What about the starling?" Is it really a ghost? ”

Soba wasn't scared by that, because he had seen those things more than once.

Besides, even if he is afraid, he can't show it, he must stabilize the situation, if he messes up first, then Xiao Dunzi and Wang Tianjiao will definitely be scared and crazy.

Although Suo Ba was not afraid, he didn't know what to do, he subconsciously touched the rag bag on his body, this "treasure bag" has a lot of magic weapons! It always comes in handy when it matters.

Suddenly, Suoba felt a figure flicker behind him, and then gently patted him on the shoulder.

There are only three of them in the deep mountains and old forests, and Xiao Dunzi and Wang Tianjiao are next to Suoba, so it is impossible to pat him on the shoulder? Is there a fourth person?

Thinking of this, Suo Ba's hairs stood on end, and his ears couldn't help but tremble.

Suoba suddenly turned around and looked at him, and he couldn't help but be shocked that a strange man was standing behind him.

The stranger was a strange man, wearing a snow-white fur hat.

He was wearing a snow-white fur coat, and even the shoes on his feet were white fur cotton shoes.

From head to toe, he was furry snowflake white, with a rectangular face full of red face, a straight nose and a straight mouth, white eyebrows, and a snow-white beard.

Just looking at the face, he is about forty, but he looks like an old man.

Suo Ba was surprised as his brain rotated 360 degrees.

Although the mountains are cooler than the outside, after all, it is summer, and even if it is unusually cold in the morning and evening, it will not be so heavy.

The deep mountains and old forests are really a strange place, and you can meet all kinds of strange people and things.

Suo Ba thought to himself, what kind of master is this strange man in white?

Suo Ba is now a person who sees and hears in all directions, and he doesn't even notice that someone is behind him.

This strange man should not be a wicked person, otherwise he could have taken his life in one fell swoop when Suo Ba was defenseless.

Since this person did not do that, he would not be an enemy, if not a friend.

Besides, Suo Ba has just arrived, and he doesn't know anyone, so how can he be an enemy? So he lowered his precautionary heart.

At this time, the man in white spoke first, and he said to Suo Ba with a smile: "Young man, are you lost?" ”

Without waiting for Suo Ba to answer, Xiao Dunzi said first: "Who are you?" Haunted. ”

The man in white smiled and said, "Of course I'm not a bad person."

Suo Ba nodded and replied, "Yes, we've been here for a long time, I don't know what mountain this is?" I can't get out no matter how I go. ”

The man in white smiled and said: "The name of this mountain is Lone Mountain, but in fact, the mountain is not big, and there are not many trees, but it is just an illusion of being in it." ”

Suo Ba asked puzzledly, "Why is it called Lone Mountain?" ”

The man in white said: "There was a general in the Ming Dynasty in order to fight against the Manchurian Nurhachi, he was the only one left in the end, after the defeat he retreated to this mountain alone, and then saw that the chasing soldiers were coming in a steady stream, he didn't want to be captured and humiliated, and finally killed himself with a horizontal knife, and all the blood was sprayed on this tree, and the soul of the dead also fell on this tree, since then people have called this mountain the lonely army mountain, this tree is called the heroic soul tree by later generations, young people today you are here to go around and can't go out, presumably you have something to do with this general, right?" ”

Xiao Dunzi was full of suspicion and said, "Hey! What the hell are you? How did it come out of nowhere? It's Nurhachi again, and it's Lone Mountain, what do you want to do? ”

The reckless man in white was not angry at Xiao Dunzi, he just smiled and said nothing.

Suo Ba said to Xiao Dunzi: "Dunzi, don't talk nonsense. ”

Wang Tianjiao listened to the words of the man in white, her hands clenched tighter, she never expected this trip to the Northeast to be so terrifying!

Just got rid of the dryad and hit the ghost, didn't you say that the ghost only came out at night to haunt people? Why did you run into a ghost in broad daylight? It's really wicked.

Wang Tianjiao is a woman who cherishes her life, she must not lose her life.

Because that old thing left her a lot of money, and there was an inn that could ensure that she had no worries about food and clothing, Wang Tianjiao couldn't just throw it away to others for nothing.

Wang Tianjiao was thinking about it in her heart, and she was trembling and asking for Buddha.

Xiao Dunzi also has his own little abacus, he thinks he can't die! He hasn't married a wife yet.

The woman has never tasted anything, so she hit the ghost, so she can get the Yanma first and then die! It's not in vain that he is a man again.

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

Xiao Dunzi temporarily hugged the Buddha's feet, and also learned to worship the Buddha on the Yanma, and his Buddha worship inevitably had too many distracting thoughts.

After the man in white finished talking about the origin of the name of General Mountain, he seemed to be waiting for Suo Ba to say something, and he still looked at him with a smile.

Suo Ba hugged his fist to the man in white and said: "Listening to your words, it can be seen that you are not a guest, may I ask the name of the senior?" ”

The man in white smiled and whispered: "Don't ask the source when you meet in Pingshui?" The people of the rivers and lakes are in charge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and they all meet by fate. ”

Suo Ba saw that the man in white was unwilling to reveal his identity, and it was inconvenient for him to investigate further, not to mention that it didn't matter who his surname was.

Staying here may be more auspicious, and at present, how to get out of this maze is the most important thing.

Think about it! Suo Ba clenched his fists again and said to the man in white: "Since this is the case, I won't ask much, then please point out a clear way, we should leave this ghost place early." ”

The man in white smiled and nodded, and said to Suo Ba: "Then please come with me!" ”

After speaking, the man in white turned around and led the way in front, this man was of medium stature, neither fat nor thin, his back was slightly rickety, his steps were very light, and he could hardly hear the sound of lifting his feet to the ground.

Xiao Dunzi gently pulled the corner of Suo Ba's clothes from behind, and whispered to him: "Starling this guy is a little weird, could it be a bandit Xiangma?" It's better for us to tie him up and ask him for a way out, and then escort him to lead the way, if he has a crooked eye, he will ...... immediately."

Saying that, Xiao Dunzi gestured in front of his neck with the palm of his hand, implying that he wiped his neck if he was not honest.

Xiao Dunzi's concerns are not unreasonable, in this barren mountain and wild mountain in front of the village and behind the shop, how can a kind guide suddenly appear?

Besides, he is still dressed so strangely, like he looks after being dressed in disguise, but if you look closely, you can't see any clues.

For example, his snow-white beard, which he had never seen such a white beard, looked so white that it looked a little fake, but no matter how you looked at it, there was not a trace of paste.

In the autumn of troubled times, bandits and horses in the Northeast are extremely rampant, flooded to the extent that they can be seen everywhere robbing homes and houses.

As the saying goes: "You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't do without the heart to prevent people, in short, it doesn't hurt to be careful and careful." ”

Suo Ba followed closely behind the man in white, holding the handle of the dagger pinned to his waist in his hand, and his eyes were also staring at the man's every move.

The man in white stopped talking all the way, just walked forward with his head down.

He's always spinning around, like he's hiding from something?

What puzzled Suoba was that sometimes he didn't take the wide and flat roads, but instead took some difficult potholes and narrow roads.

There are even some places where you need to bow your head to get through, and there are so many trees that you almost have to climb to get through.

The man in white always walked in front of him in order to lead the way, and always kept the same distance from Suo Ba and the three of them.

It's like measuring with a ruler, and it's not the slightest difference.

Suoba walked a few steps quickly to catch up, and asked how long it would take to get out of the maze, but he couldn't catch up.

Suo Ba is fast, the man in white is also fast, Suo Ba is slow, and the man in white is also slow.

Suo Ba and the three of them were all tired and panting, but the breathing of the man in white was still very even.

Suoba guessed that it probably had something to do with the fact that he often walked such difficult mountain roads, and over time he developed endurance.

Xiao Dunzi dragged Suo Ba and leaned on Suo Ba's ear and said, "Starling brother I don't feel right, does this old guy want to lead us to the bandits' den?" ”
