Chapter 65: The River God Didn't Come, the Mountain Ghost Came!
Mountain ghosts!?
Liang Qu's heart pounded suddenly.
There is an illustration of a mountain ghost in the "Haomutang Miscellaneous Notes Annotated Edition", and the cracked skin like a dead tree left a deep impression on him!
It resembles a human form, with brown skin like a dead tree, and is difficult to penetrate.
Young eat livestock, like to eat human dirt!
How can there be mountain ghosts here!?
Pingyang Town is 16 miles away from Yixing City!
The fierce sound of nine gongs echoed across the port, and the shaman danced slowly with a short staff, singing unknown worship songs, and thousands of eyes stared at Liang Qu, expecting him to walk up the altar.
Liang Qu was in a trance and suspected that what he saw was an illusion, but the next moment, the black shadow suddenly burst out from behind the gable, and its sharp nails scratched through the Liang Qing bricks, and there was a dense crowd below him.
The children in the crowd looked around and wept when they saw the strange and terrifying creature.
The child's mother covered the boy's mouth apologetically, but when she glanced at the child's gaze, she was also stunned.
A piercing scream came.
Not a hallucination!!
"Retreat!!"
In an instant, the shouting overshadowed everything.
As the words spoke, more and more people saw the mountain ghosts on the roof.
The news of the infestation of mountain ghosts has long been spread from Pingyang Town to Yixing City, and there are even portraits posted, which makes people be careful, and in recent days, there are fewer people in Yixing City who go to Pingyang Town.
That cracked brown skin, no matter what, you can't be mistaken!
A mountain ghost who can kill a warrior!
The screams came and went, and the originally orderly crowd was instantly chaotic, and the cries were endless, but in front of them was Shuizawa, and there was nowhere to escape, and even someone jumped into the water!
It's winter!
The villagers stood up, frightened at the sight of the evil god of the mountain ghosts, and screamed loudly, trying to organize order.
The mountain ghost on the eaves was disturbed, and jumped into the crowd, and was about to pounce on a woman, when a fist-sized stone ball roared and smashed into the mountain ghost's face door with unmistakable accuracy, smashing the mountain ghost in mid-air and flying out, and it was already a few pieces of gravel before landing.
Liang Qu stepped forward against the flow of people, his palms trembled, and blood flowed from the styloid process of the ulna.
At some point, the canine teeth of the stone lion behind him were all cracked, and the stone ball in his mouth disappeared.
"Come this way towards me!!"
The sound was sent straight out against the wind, and for a time it overwhelmed the screams of the crowd.
A large flag was erected on the ground, guiding the chaotic crowd towards him.
The woman who was not hit was so frightened that she fell to the ground, and the man next to her grabbed the woman's hand, and the two of them crawled away.
The villagers were also frightened, threw away their crutches and ran away, and the only remaining Chen Zhaoan quickly stepped forward to comfort the people and let everyone take refuge in the mansion behind them.
A large area soon vacated under the eaves of the mountain ghost's dormant roof, and the mountain ghost who fell to the ground shook his head and got up again.
The powerful stone ball didn't do any damage to it at all.
The lower limbs of the anti-joint, the thin upper limbs, the sharp phalanges, the body is thin, the skin of the whole body is cracked like the bark of a dead tree, and the yellowing pupils are like rotting pus from a wound, firmly staring at the Liang Qu that attacked it.
Except for the lower limbs that are anti-jointed, the rest of the limbs of the mountain ghosts are almost the same as those of humans, but it is precisely this that makes them even more weird.
What you see with your own eyes is much more terrifying than the illustrations in the book!
Liang Qu's heart was pounding, and he didn't know where he got the courage to step forward, but at this time, the arrow had to be sent on the string, and the mountain ghost was already eyeing him.
Little mountain ghosts, big mountain ghosts?
The little mountain ghost is not like it, the height in front of him is similar to him, the mountain ghost does not grow so fast, but the big mountain ghost is not like it, the big mountain ghost who can kill two levels of martial artists cannot be smashed by him with a stone ball.
Could it be the third mountain ghost in addition to the two?
This just explains why it appeared in Yixing City, not across more than ten miles, it was already here!
Hell, where are there so many mountain ghosts, engaged in breeding and wholesale?
His thoughts were like electricity, and Liang Qu even vaguely guessed why this mountain ghost appeared.
The strong smell of blood in the wind, coupled with the popularity of thousands of people, successfully attracted mountain ghosts.
Sacrifice to the god of the river, sacrifice to the god of the river.
The river god didn't come, the mountain ghost came!
Liang Qu hated itchy.
On the port, the shamans, the priests, all disappeared.
The villagers hid in their houses and shrank in the alleys, which were already full of people, and there was a thick wall of people outside, not daring to move, for fear of attracting the attention of the spirits.
Within a radius of dozens of meters, only the empty altar remained, and the three bloody animals hanging on the side.
The mountain ghost's wisdom is not low, and it seems that Liang Qu is a threat to it, and the two sides are facing each other, and no one moves.
Stared at by the yellowed vertical pupils, Liang Qu only felt like a snake on his back, wrapped around it, quietly watching.
He felt that the joints in his body were gradually weakening, but he didn't dare to break the silence in the confrontation.
The blood in the styloid process of the ulna bone pooled together and flowed down the middle finger, which was a little itchy.
Liang Qu's fingers trembled slightly, and the blood beads fell, dripping on the bluestone slab, covered with dust but not broken.
In a moment, the beads of blood burst.
"Ah Shui, we're here to help you!"
Not good!
"Don't!"
Hearing that it was Li Libo and Chen Jiechang's voices, Liang Qu was shocked, and then he saw the mountain ghost take a step forward, and then ...... Gone!
So fast!
Liang Qu held his head in both hands, and the mountain ghost's fingerbones scratched on the tungsten gold armguard, blasting out sparks, and a huge force struck, knocking him out entirely.
Pedaling the bluestone slab and moving out a few meters, the stone slabs were all cracked, and another evil wind hit from the left side, Liang Qu was able to protect his neck, only to feel the sharp claws rubbing against the armor of the lower arm, and stabbing down into his waist and abdomen, but he couldn't move an inch.
The claws of the mountain ghost fell into the canine and bear skin, and they were blocked by the mountain cow's leather belt, and they couldn't be pierced at all!
Opportunity!
Liang Qu's blood courage was stimulated, he rolled the big gun in his hand, flicked his big arm, wrapped the big gun and clamped the mountain ghost's arm, and slammed down with his right fist against the mountain ghost's face door.
At the same time as he struck, he already felt the strong wind hitting his chest, and the mountain ghost's other claws were pressed together like steel knives, with a piercing chill.
"Good!" Liang Qu roared and half-turned his body, avoiding the vital point, and his hand movements did not stop at all, and smashed down with a punch on the mountain ghost's head.
The fist slammed into the door of the mountain ghost as if it were hitting the granite.
The claws pierced halfway through the big skull, and the ribs were stuck, and the blood stained the white robe.
Liang Qu didn't move, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, and he grabbed the mountain ghost's arm with a hideous face, not allowing it to move in the slightest.
The mountain ghost's right arm was stuck by Liang Qu's left arm bend and the body formed a triangular solid, and it couldn't move, and it tried to retract its left hand.
Unexpectedly, Liang Qu's left arm still had strength left, and the green tendons on his arm were exposed, twisted like a snake, and huge violence was condensed in it, grabbing the ghost hand on his chest with the only movable palm, and at the same time fixing the mountain ghost's arms!
A rain of right fists like cannons rained down on the mountain ghost face gate!
The brave momentum made the hearts of the villagers stir, and the fear turned into smoke with every punch, and they almost shouted out.
The Tianshui centipede, which was lurking on Liang Qu's wrist, took this opportunity to climb up the crook of the mountain ghost arm and bite down on the weakest part.
A trace of blood red overflowed from the centipede's mouthparts, breaking the defense!
With one successful blow, Ah Wei injected all the venom at once, and quickly drilled back into his sleeve.
The venom penetrated into his body, and the mountain ghost felt the deadly threat, and his legs pressed Liang Qu's chest.
Liang Qu was so struck by the blow that he felt like he had been hit in the chest by a battering ram, making a sound from his sternum to his ribs that was on the verge of shattering, and his heart almost stopped.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he didn't dare to look back, but he saw two figures passing by and coming to him, raising their sharp knives and slashing at the mountain ghost.
The sharp knife seemed to be slashed on the golden stone, and the two bloodletting knives that killed pigs and cattle actually broke two openings at the same time.
Mountain ghosts!
It resembles a human form, and its skin is brown like a dead tree.
Guns are hard to penetrate!
