Chapter 42 Legends and facts often deviate

After Qi Wu paid tribute to the mountain god, he hurriedly gathered with everyone.

The crowd, covered in water, shivered when the cold wind blew them.

"If you go on like this, you're going to get sick."

The old hunter walked to the corner, took out a handful of firewood, and said with a big smile: "We hunters sometimes take shelter from the rain here, so we left firewood here in advance to be used today." ”

Qi Wu was overjoyed: "Thank you so much." ”

The old hunter didn't care: "It's nothing, living in the mountains is that you help me and I help you, and when the rain stops tomorrow, let's just collect some firewood and put it back." ”

Everyone quickly piled firewood on the fire mark on the ground, Qi Wu took out the fire charm and lit a wooden branch, stretched the wooden branch into the dry firewood, and gently blew the fan, and the dry firewood was slowly ignited.

Looking at the gradually rising flames and feeling the warmth of the flames, someone took a long breath.

"Finally alive."

"Brother Qi, do you eat yellow rice crackers or white rice crackers?"

"One of the same?"

One of them distributed dry food, and when they got it, they put it by the fire and roasted it.

After baking the fragrance, Ah Yue took out a jar of pickles, asked everyone to spread them on the cake, and took a bite of it, full of salty and fragrant.

"Ah Yue's skills in making pickles are really good, if you want me to say, Ah Yue, you might as well open a pickle shop, why follow us to do business?"

Ah Yue smiled and didn't say anything.

Qi Wu thought of the scene just now and asked, "Old Sun, why did you ask Ah Yue just now if he was pushed down?" ”

Qi Wu and the others entered the mountain for the first time, and wanted to cross the mountain range and go to Qinghuai County on the other side to sell goods, they searched for a long time, and finally found a local old hunter to lead the way.

Old Orion looked solemn: "Have you ever heard of ghosts? ”

Qi Wu and the others had serious faces, they traveled from south to north, and naturally knew some ghost things, and one of them even said loudly: "You mean a ghost who acts for the tiger?" ”

The old hunter nodded and said in a low voice: "This mountain is called Songshan, about ten years ago, a hunter went into the mountain to hunt, and then disappeared, leaving only a shoe, at that time someone said that a tiger demon came to the mountain and ate the hunter." ”

"At first, people didn't want to believe it, thinking that they had lived here for generations, how could there be a tiger demon?"

"But as time went on, some people said that when hunting, the hound barked in one direction, and he looked in the direction and stiffened in fright."

"It was a colorful tiger, the size was four meters long, the tiger leaped, pounced on the hound, he saw this and ran away, fortunately the tiger did not catch up!"

"People also found that people were missing from time to time, so they reported the situation to Qinghuai County, and after the officials learned about it, they asked me to go to Yanjiang County, saying that Songshan is close to Yanjiang County, and you only sell the prey to Yanjiang County, which should be under their control."

"When I came to Yanjiang County, the officials said that Songshan belongs to Qinghuai County and should be under the management of Qinghuai County."

"After pulling a few times, each side sent two monks to search for the traces of the tiger demon in Songshan, and searched for ten days in a row, and did not even see a single tiger hair, the two monks felt that we had tricked them, wasting so much time in vain, we explained that it might be that the tiger demon deliberately avoided them and did not dare to come out, and the two monks did not listen to our explanation, and walked away."

"We went to the government again, but the government no longer cared about us."

"We have no choice, most of us leave Songshan and find another way to survive, only a few of us old guys are left, nothing but hunting, stay here."

"Later, we found out that when we were hunting, we would encounter those missing travelers, and the travelers would suddenly disappear from your eyes, suddenly appear, and push you."

"Sometimes when I take people into the mountains, those travelers pretend to meet us by chance and ask if we can take him with us, how dare I agree and take them away in a hurry?"

"The older generation said before their deaths that there is a thing in the world called a ghost, and when the tiger demon kills someone, the person turns into a ghost, looking for prey for the tiger demon, and tricks people into a place, so that the prey becomes a new ghost."

"But it's easy to deal with the ghost, as long as you refuse the ghost's request, the ghost won't do anything to you."

Qi Wu suddenly wondered, he was still strange before, such a large mountain forest, it stands to reason that there should be many hunters, how did it take a long time to find a few hunters, and these hunters still live together.

It turned out to be forced by the tiger demon.

Qi Wu saw that Ah Yue was hesitant, so he asked, "Ah Yue, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." ”

Originally, Ah Yue felt that he was embarrassed to ask his questions, but when the boss said so, he didn't hide it.

"I only have one question, does this ghost have a female ghost? Is it good-looking? Will it be seductive? Inhaling men's yang energy? Is it possible that I will start a forbidden love with her, evade the pursuit of tiger demons together, and wander the rivers and lakes? ”

Every time Ah Yue asked a question, a question mark popped up above everyone's heads, even the old hunter.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ah Yue scratched his head embarrassedly: "I see that this is what is written in this novel, a Chinese ghost story, a ghost and a ghost." ”

Qi Wu was silent for a moment and patted Ah Yue's shoulder: "Read less books." ”

Then Qi Wu asked again: "Then why don't you report this matter to the Five Great Immortal Sects, the Five Great Immortal Sects defend the righteous path, and they will definitely not sit idly by." ”

"Five Great Immortal Gates?" Old Orion looked dazed, he had never heard of this title.

"It is the five famous sects such as the Dao Sect and the Hanging Temple, and they are also the five most powerful sects in the whole continent."

"I think I've heard the name." The old hunter said uncertainly, I don't know where he had heard it, maybe it was in the teahouse at the foot of the mountain, maybe it was a traveler entering the mountain, maybe it was heard when he was young, maybe he heard it when he was old.

I can't remember.

In fact, the people know very little about immortal cultivators, and they just listen to it as a rarity.

Not to mention that the stories passed on by word of mouth are too easy to deform, and when they reach the ears of ordinary people, they are often very different from the real stories and cannot be believed.

For example, Qi Wu once heard that the reason why the Dao Sect is called the Dao Sect refers to the vast immortal road, the meaning of asking the heavens, and cultivating immortals is cultivating the mind, and you need to constantly ask what kind of path you are pursuing, whether it is the right path or the devil's path, and don't lose your heart.

Once Qi Wu met a disciple of Daoist Daozong, it seemed that his name was Dai Bufan, and asked him why Daozong was called Daoist Daozong, and Dai Bufan's answer he still remembers very clearly.

"You ask this, this has to say that we ask the founder of the sect to ask the ancestor of the sect, in order to find a treasure of feng shui, the ancestor spent a lot of money to ask the people of the Tiance sect to locate and calculate, and finally found a fairy land that gathers feng shui from all directions, and also said that if the sect wants to prosper forever, it needs to be established at a specific time and in a specific place."

"As a result, Master Zu didn't know the way, obviously he had made a mark, but he was still lost, so he had to ask the old farmer on the side of the road for directions, and then he found the address of the sect without delaying the hour."

"In order to thank the old farmer, Master Zu named the sect Wendaozong."
