Chapter 885: Mysterious Beast
The ghost market is still illusory and mysterious, and the strange animals in Shennongjia are indeed real, in addition to the wild people that often appear, there are countless rare animals.
For example, the duckbill toad, the white bear, the white snake, the undead snake, the red-haired horse, the red-haired pig, the red bat, the red frog, the white monkey, the white roe deer, the white magpie, the red giant salamander, the red snake, the red fox, the red-haired golden snub-nosed monkey, the white toad, the white unicorn, the white crow, the white weasel...... It can be said that any beast and livestock that is very ordinary in the outside world must be completely different from the outside world after arriving in Shennongjia.
Albino animals aside, let's just talk about some of the more peculiar animals.
The duck-billed toad, once a farmer felt thirsty when he entered the mountain, and found a pool of water under a nearby mountain cliff, and when he was about to stretch out the kettle to draw water, three strange-looking water beasts suddenly came out of the cold and icy pool water.
The shape of these water beasts is similar to that of a toad, but it is more than ten times larger than an ordinary toad, as if it is a chicken and duck the size of a human head, with a gray-white mottled color, and the front and rear limbs and claws can be webbed membranes, and the sharp claws are protruding, and the mouth that should be a toad has a duck's beak.
The mountain man was startled, and when he called his companions to look, he saw the plasequius toads disappearing into the deep pool.
If it's just a strange shape, it's not weird, and some things with long scales and hairs can continue to wriggle even if they are cut in two.
There are many kinds of beasts in Shennongjia, because the color is snow white, many hunters will go into the mountains to hunt, sell the animal skins they get to the traders, or sell the collected herbs to the medicine dealers, some traders in order to make as much money as possible, they will also hire some hunters to take them into the mountains to fish and hunt animals, pick herbs, walk in the herb jungle, meet a lot of scale insects and moths, it can be regarded as extremely strange.
For example, some moths look like dead leaves, and if they are not disturbed by people and fly away, no one will find out that they are moths, or some insects, which are also very similar to bamboo joints, until they are picked and found to be living creatures that can jump.
The undead snake is a similar scale insect.
These undead snakes are of variable size, ranging from long snakes with wrists several meters long to small snakes with fingers half a meter thick, with dark red and black patterns all over their bodies, looking like a fiery red and black snake.
Their singularity is not in their color, but in their ability to never kill.
When the merchant was driving the car, he saw a long snake blocking the road on the road, and he wanted the hunter to cut down the long snake and hurry away, but the hunter was never willing to do so.
After some talking, the hunter bluntly said that this kind of red-skinned and black-striped snake cannot be killed, even if it is cut off, it may not be killed, but it will annoy these snakes, and in the end it suffers, and the hunter advises the trader to choose another path.
The traders entered the mountain to make money, and if they chose another path, it would only consume more time, and along the way, people ate horses and chewed, and the silver was thrown out, and the traders were also very distressed.
No matter how high the kung fu is, he is afraid of kitchen knives, and seeing that the hunter is unwilling to move, he does not believe that the snake really can't be killed, so he immediately took out the machete and slashed at the snake, and refused to stop until it was cut into seven pieces.
He thought that he could dispose of the dead snakes at will, but unexpectedly, even if the snakes were broken, they were still writhing, but between breaths, he had already seen the broken body move constantly, and finally the wound was anastomosed, and it turned back into a complete snake.
As the snake fled, it even spat out its whiskers at the vendor, and quickly hid in the grass and disappeared.
Now, when the trader sees that the snake that was cut off by himself is restored to its original state, what he sees in front of him is true, and he has to believe that the red-skinned and black-striped snake cannot be killed.
Not much to say, to get back to the point, the mountain is yellow, which is a kind of Shennongjia beast.
This mountain yellow, there are also mountain people called the mountain emperor, which means that the emperor of the mountain, can be called such a name, basically more powerful than the tiger of a hundred beasts.
Guoshanhuang actually looks similar to the mountain tiger, but, there are no stripes on the body, the fur is mainly light yellow and snow-white, two fangs protrude from the lips, the shape is like a tiger but extremely agile and fast, running like a shadow like the wind, like a yellow shadow drifting by, so it is named Guoshanhuang.
Such a beast can become the king of the jungle, must have its own power, with its agile and fast running speed, it can easily capture any beast, even, sometimes even birds and fish are spared, where the livestock and beasts run in panic, majestic.
Sun Daqiao and his party said that they had met the mountain yellow, and they had not really dealt with it, but after entering the agricultural shrine and the temple, they took a few looks at the towering terrain, and the surrounding peaks could indeed see a yellow wind phantom, hunting beasts, ferocious, but also made them pinch a lot of sweat, if they encountered this thing under the mountain, most of them went to the west on the spot.
Sun Daqiao and they also heard the people in the village mention that although Guo Shanhuang is ferocious, he does not eat dead things like black bears, and if he wants to fight hard when he encounters Guo Shanhuang, he may not know how miserable he will die, and only by holding his breath and not breathing can he avoid his minions.
After many hunters enter the mountain, they must not bend the bow and arrows but hold their breath to leave, although the speed of this mountain yellow is fast, the eyesight is indeed not very good, slowly hold their breath to move, you can completely escape the danger.
After talking about the strange living things, there are some special dead things, which are still weird and strange, so that people don't know how to understand.
The mountain canyon leading to Shennong Peak will pass through a very peculiar forest of stone pillars, which are different in shape, dense and different, like the teeth of the grate filling the valley.
As people walk, it is easy to hear strange sounds such as ghosts crying wolves, pedestrians hurrying, women and children whispering, men practicing martial arts and hunting, and old people sighing.
I don't know where these sounds come from, but I know that at night, I can see the sounds coming from all directions, like a lively ghost market, noisy and non-stop, until the next day, the sun rises the next day, and it is completely gone.
Sun Daqiao and they hurried to Shennong Peak, of course, they had to pass through this place, when the noisy sound of the night came, it was like a hundred ghosts walking at night, seeping so that people's scalps were about to crack.
They also thought that it was probably a prank by a person in a hurry, but they searched all the corners of the pillar forest, and found no living creatures, and of course, they did not find any ghosts and spirits, as if the sound appeared out of thin air from the stone pillar, which was very strange.
After the day, they were also curious about the stone pillars, and used the shovels and earthen bamboo barrels of gunpowder at hand to blast the stones, and thought that there would be some mystery in them, and in the end, they only saw countless iron ore particles mixed in the stones, and there were no sophisticated instruments, nor did they see strange creatures underground.
Based on this, Sun Daqiao also asked Uncle Mi, this old farmer said that the voice of the stone pillar forest comes from the soul of the construction of the agricultural shrine and the temple, and many people died when the agricultural shrine and temple were repaired in the past dynasties, and the souls of these people were left in the stone pillar and stele forest, and they could never be separated.
At night, these spirits will appear and walk among the stone pillars, as if they are still alive in this world, and continue to walk and talk.
Sun Daqiao and the others did not look for the stone pillar forest, and indeed they did not find anything strange, and he also asked the old farmer why he did not find the soul.
The old peasant only said that human eyes cannot see souls, but can only hear the voices of these people, and if you want to see souls, you have to soak the stones in the pillar forest into the tears of cows, and then apply them to your eyes, but when people see souls, these souls can probably feel that people are looking at them, and maybe they will be wrapped around the door, but they will suffer bad luck.
The old farmer also said that when he was young, there was a family of hunters surnamed Huang, who was naturally bold and capable of hunting, and he wanted to rise to the top of the list if no one else dared to do things.
That time, he really soaked the stone into the cow's tears and wiped it on his eyes, in order to show his boldness, he also took a lot of fox friends and dog friends, and took advantage of the day to hide in the jungle far from the pillar forest.
After the sun set, the pillar forest sounded a noisy sound from time to time, Huang Orion opened his eyes, looked at the pillar forest carefully through the bushes, and really saw countless humanoid phantoms, and when he saw walking around in the pillar, he was about to call his fox friends and dog friends to come and see, when he turned his head, he saw a dark blue phantom figure approaching in front of him.
The illusory figure was only half a meter away from his face, and even the facial features on his face could be seen clearly, white and cold.
This glance frightened Huang Orion immediately fainted, his fox friend reluctantly brought him back, and when he opened his eyes again, the phantom seemed to be glued to his eyes, no way to escape, and it did not disappear, Huang Orion was so frightened that he looked for a lot of people to see things, until an old goddess gave him a talisman, and then he saw that the dark blue phantom gradually dissipated.
After this incident, his eyes were seriously damaged, and his vision became dim, as if he was seeing through a layer of glass, and the hunter's eyesight, which could have been seen a hundred meters away, was completely smashed into his own hands.
After that, Lao Huang also said goodbye to hunting completely, and planted his own medicinal materials with peace of mind, so that he could still see things near him clearly, and he would not delay his farming.
With Lao Huang's experience, the people nearby also know that they will see the soul when they paint cow tears, and no one dares to try to wipe the cow tears, so far, no one dares to do this.
Sun Daqiao mentioned his previous experience in Shennongjia, and now he can't help but shiver: "These three monsters are only three-tenths of the top ten monsters in Shennongjia, and we haven't experienced other things at all. ”
"It is also because of this that we panicked, we didn't want to steal any more noble tombs, we just wanted to get out of Shennongjia, and after that, we really had no choice, so we hid in the temple for nearly ten days before we were completely saved."
"Hey, now it seems, it's really evil!"
Everyone listened to Sun Daqiao's words, even if they hadn't experienced these things, with the old man's mouth, they felt that they were in front of them, and they listened to it for nearly an hour.
"Song Qianjin, you can't explain this with science, right?" Yue Guanchao teased.
"It's true that it can't be explained by science anymore, but there must be a reason for these situations, and since Sun Daqiao's introduction, I can basically be sure that there is something here."
