Chapter 6: Guarding the Mountains and Strange Beasts
The fat man's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Essay script, do you have the whereabouts of this thing?"
I nodded, said goodbye to Cui Hao, and went back to the residence first, preparing things for the acupuncture.
"Fatty, I'll see you in front of my house in three hours, I'll only wait for you for half an hour, and I'll leave by myself if you don't come."
Three hours later.
Cui Hao walked up to me with a big bag stuffed half a meter high.
He had no choice but to throw his hands at me.
"Little Man, let's talk about it. If I'm going to go to the grave with you, you'll have to help me get the essay script!" ”
I smiled and reached out on the side of the road to stop the car.
Cui Hao followed closely and sat in the back seat of the car with me.
"Master, Chang'an Dongtou Huaishuling!"
The driver who was originally smiling to pick up the passenger turned pale and put his foot on the brakes.
"Locust Tree Ridge...... Yin and Yang Tomb? Go down, I won't go to that place! ”
Cui Hao took out a stack of 100 yuan bills from his coat pocket and threw them directly at the co-pilot.
"Just received, to go or not to go?"
Cui Hao seemed impatient, but in fact, he was secretly peeking at and estimating the driver's attitude.
I sighed, this Chang'an driver has its own news network under it, presumably they all know that this Huaishuling is weird.
Cui Hao is a human spirit in this place, and eighty percent of them have long expected that the driver will be unhappy to go.
for the thickness of the heap must be a thousand.
The driver's face changed, showing a little hesitation, and a flash of greed flashed in his eyes.
"I won't tell you the truth, the place in the Yin and Yang Tomb is weird, and it is haunted in broad daylight. I had a fellow driver who went there, but I almost didn't come out. So ......"
Cui Hao threw ten more sheets over.
"Brother, you've figured it out. I'll pay you at least half a month's work for 2,000 yuan, and if you miss my order, you won't have this temple. ”
The driver hesitated, wanted to collect the money but was worried and did not dare to do it.
"Master, we know that you have inside information, and no one is willing to go here, so we have given so much."
I lifted the slit of the bag to reveal the inside.
"I won't hide it from you, you should know what we are doing when you look at our things, we don't need you to send it to the Yin and Yang Grave, you just need to send it to the entrance of Huaishuling."
I put my things away and handed over another peace charm.
"Huaishuling hasn't reached the realm yet, I'll let you go out safely. Which one do you say makes money, and sometimes it doesn't make life-fighting money? ”
As soon as I said this, the driver finally made up his mind and took the stack of money in his hand.
"Well, if you have money, you are the master, and within 15 minutes, it will definitely be delivered to you!"
The driver stopped talking nonsense, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped out.
"Little Manye, do you really know where the essay script is?"
I nodded.
"The land of Qilu, the east of Taihang. Taierzhuang left, the secret treasure canal. ”
The fat man looked in a trance and muttered in his mouth.
"Little Manye, do you mean that things are in Taierzhuang in Qilu?"
I rolled down the window and said indifferently in the wind.
"Follow me down to the grave to get the corpse clothes, and I will definitely explain the situation to you in detail."
Cui Hao gritted his teeth, his expression entangled, obviously hesitating.
I didn't rush, just watched the scenery on both sides of the street.
The further you cut into the Yin and Yang Tomb, the cooler the surrounding temperature.
The sky that had just been clearly sun-drenched was now full of clouds, obscuring the sunlight of the whole place.
Only the breeze is left, and the scalp of the person who blows is numb.
A mountain is revealed in the distance, and the surrounding towering ancient trees are all over the mountain.
In the cracks of the mountain, there are shadows, and the shadows of black birds hovering over the branches.
The car drove ahead on a quiet dirt road, past the shadows of the trees.
A gust of wind whistled ahead, and crackling blades smashed against the windows, half-gluing the windshield.
"The sky in this mountain is really weird, and the closer you get to it, the weirder it becomes."
The driver trembled and began to talk to us.
"What are you going up the mountain for, are you going up?"
I smiled at the driver and didn't answer.
He swallowed nervously, knowing that I didn't want to say more, so he changed the subject and pressed the wiper switch on the windshield.
"It's so cloudy, I'll have to settle the spot later! I see ......"
The driver's words stuck in his throat.
I looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the driver's eyes were staring at the windshield, his mouth was open like a round bowl, and the person was already wooden.
"What is this? Isn't this a leaf? ”
On the windshield, a layer of yellowing is not fallen leaves, but layers of paper money.
Outside the car window.
The wind howled and blew round hole paper money, slapping on the car glass, constantly blocking the driver's view.
"Guest, I'll pay you back, can you get off here?"
The driver was so frightened that he slammed on the brakes.
I sighed and clicked on the paper money that was pouring around me.
"Master, if you leave us here, then we won't be able to get out for a day and a night."
"Then I'll take you back, and I'll only charge you half of the car price."
I sighed and shook my head.
"Master, this Locust Tree Ridge only has a one-way street, and you can't go against the road. If you don't believe it, go back, and in a moment you will believe me. ”
Facing the driver's frightened eyes, I pushed the door and got out of the car, and slashed three long slashes with a dagger on the dead tree next to me.
Sitting back in the back seat, I pointed to the three scratches.
"Master, turn around and drive back. Ten minutes later, you'll still see the scratches. ”
The driver was already frightened, and he put on the reverse gear and steered back quickly.
I saw that he was nervous and comforted him.
"Master, don't be afraid, the Huaishu Ridge is full of bluffing things, the purpose is to scare people away, and the real ghosts are on the Yin and Yang Tomb. We're not there yet, so you don't have to be afraid of accidents. When you come, the words are numbered, and I will surely keep you safe and sound. ”
But the driver couldn't listen to me anymore, he slammed on the accelerator, and the speed of the car soared to the extreme.
After only seven or eight minutes of driving, the driver squeaked on the brakes, leaned on the driver's seat like a limp and stretched out his finger to the window.
"That'...... What is that? ”
On a dead tree, three long scratches appeared in front of us.
I stepped forward and patted the driver's shoulder, took out a cigarette and handed it to the driver.
"Take a sip and it will be much better."
The cigarette on my body is a cigarette made from the leaves of the corn that I specially bought in the ghost market.
Yin millet leaves are also very simple, they are tea tree leaves planted in the grave corpse pit by special tea pickers and for mysterious methods.
Because in the process of growth, it absorbs the evil qi in the corpse, which is quite high-level, clear and awake.
The reason why the driver is so nervous is also because he is soaked in the corpse gas around him, and smoking this cigarette can naturally ease the calm.
The driver took the cigarette in my hand, stuffed it in his mouth, and his hands trembled, and he couldn't even light a lighter for a long time.
I sighed and reached out to help him light it.
A faint fragrance spread throughout the carriage, and the driver's panicked expression suddenly calmed down.
He stared blankly at the cigarette I was giving.
"What is this? How is this thing so good? ”
I pulled out a smile.
"Such a cigarette will cost me a thousand, do you think it's okay?"
The driver pinched the butt of the cigarette, nor did he smoke it, nor did he extinguish it.
I waved at him.
"Smoke it! What is given to you is yours. Letting you smoke is hoping that you can calm down and not be too nervous. You drive well, with the two of us, unless you are too nervous and crash into a tree, we will not have an accident. ”
I stretched out my hand and pointed to the hill ahead.
At this time, the shadow on the side of the mountain had blocked the last rays of daylight.
Heaven and earth are darkened into chaos.
There were shadows on the road ahead, and the dark shadows in the distance also spread little by little, sweeping madly towards us.
"Driver, I won't cheat you. Drive forward as soon as possible, walk a little further and you'll be home. ”
Cui Hao also came back to his senses at this time.
He gave me a thumbs up with reverence.
"This hand is so beautiful, Xiao Manye, give me a few cigarettes too!"
As he spoke, he pulled over me without looking out.
Looking at his expression, I knew it was done.
Cui Hao has agreed to go to the grave with me.
I slapped his hand away and quickly pushed the cigarette in my arms deeper.
"Go, don't you have more good things in you than I do? I'm just going to grab this little treasure from me? I had managed to snatch all these things from the old smoking gun, and one was one less to smoke. ”
Cui Hao smacked me hard.
"Look at your stinginess, when I find any more treasures, I don't bother to give it to you."
Cui Hao turned his head and ignored me.
As if resigned to his fate, the driver suddenly turned the gear lever and stepped on the accelerator.
"Death is death, and the current situation is not much better anyway."
The vehicle sped away, and in an instant, it stepped through the shadows and swooped forward.
The darkness around us was like ghosts, rushing at our car and surrounding us.
Finally, the yin qi in front of him had condensed into a solid body, turning into a thick fog and blocking the foot of the mountain.
"Stop!"
I shouted, and the driver immediately stopped the car.
I took out a red panda to wake up, and dragged Cui Hao under the car.
"Don't sleep, it's time to get there."
Cui Hao rubbed his sleepy eyes.
The driver's face was full of horror, and his body began to tremble again.
"It's obviously a dozen minutes of walking, but I just drove for three hours to reach the foot of the mountain."
The mountain road is straight, and if it is normal, ten minutes is enough.
It's just that the mountain ghosts are raging and don't want us to enter the mountain.
That's why the road is rough and adds a lot of obstacles to us.
With a wave of my hand, I took out a jade pixiu from my cuff and threw it to the driver.
At the same time, he took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his hand.
I stretched out my hand and pointed to the path ahead.
"Thank you, driver, for today. When you go back, hang this Pixiu on your rearview mirror safety string, which can help you guide the way and ward off evil spirits. ”
I lit the cigarette in his hand.
"This one is the same as before, refreshing and eye-catching. It can be maintained for four hours, and the whole process of holding the cigarette in your mouth can be kept awake without smoking, and you can not be hooked by mountain ghosts. ”
The driver nodded tremblingly, clearly still afraid.
"Don't be afraid, it's hard to go up the mountain and easy to get down. There are mountain ghosts that have blocked the way up the mountain, and it took so long. You can get out in less than ten minutes when you go down the mountain. ”
The driver nodded, and with what I had just done, he had already trusted my words.
He kicked the accelerator and rushed forward.
"Cui Hao, let's go."
I glanced at the butt of the car and turned my hand to beckon Cui Hao to follow me.
It's completely dark now.
The mountain road was dim and there was no light at all.
"Little Manye, why don't we wait until daytime to go up?"
Cui Hao took out a flashlight from his body and took a picture of the dense forest in front of him.
"It's so dark in this place, and there's so much jungle around it, you can't see what's inside. If there's something weird hidden, it's ......."
I shook my head and looked at the top of the hill with the help of the sporadic moonlight.
Under the shadow of the clouds, the moonlight appears and disappears, barely illuminating the mountain.
"No, the night is the best time to go up the mountain, and fatty, I don't think you've ever been to this place. Do you really think there is dawn in this place? ”
The fat man was stunned and paused.
I fumbled and pulled out the oil-paper lamp I had prepared from my body, lit it, and squeezed it in my hand.
The small lantern emitted a burst of warm light, which immediately illuminated the surrounding land within a radius of ten meters.
I turned around and beckoned to Cui Hao.
"Hurry up, if you die alone on the mountain, then I won't be responsible."
Cui Hao met my gaze and gritted his teeth to follow.
