28. Mountain golems
With a cry, he stumbled out of the woods.
Wang Qilin grabbed the knife and quickly stepped up to support him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Dahan's face was full of horror: "Graves, graves, good, many graves......"
Wang Qilin shook his head at Xu Da, and Xu Da picked up a fire stick as a torch and went into the forest.
There are many trees growing on this hill, all of them old trees with thick adult thighs, and their lush branches cross each other, like a canopy, covering the sky and the sun.
So although the night was fine tonight, the woods were dark and obscure.
Xu walked in with a torch, Wang Qilin cut off a bunch of thick branches with a knife, and the branches that covered the sky and the sun leaked a hole, and suddenly, the snow-white moonlight split the night like a sharp sword and shone in.
Under the moonlight, the forest was full of waist-high mounds of earth.
In front of the mound stands a tall stone monument.
It's just one tomb after another!
In this gloomy night, I suddenly saw such a messy grave, and my heart was furious.
Xu Da spat on the ground and scolded: "It's really unlucky, you actually chose a mass grave to spend the night." ”
Wang Qilin frowned: "I haven't heard that there is a mass grave in the township." ”
Xie Toad, who came in later, looked at the surrounding terrain, he habitually stretched out his fingers and shook his head: "Go, this is a place of prisoners, and the living can't stay longer." ”
"Prison ground?"
"Yes, look at the trees here, what trees?"
Wang Qilin looked around and found that something was not quite right, there were many trees here, but there was only one category: locust trees.
The tall and the short, the big and the small, are all locust trees!
Xie Toad said: "You can see it, it's all ghost trees!"
The word 'Huai' is a ghost standing next to the wood, so Taoists call it a ghost wood.
Xie Toad continued: "Ghost trees are planted here in order to prevent the ghosts in the grave from wandering around, why don't you dare to let the ghosts leave here? The dead people buried in these graves are all murderous corpses, and they are all problematic!"
Xu Dahu doubted: "If you plant a locust tree on the grave, it will become a place for prisoners?"
"Hmph, ignorance, look at the environment here and look at those tombstones, is there anything abnormal?"
Wang Qilin held the torch and took a closer look, and there was indeed something abnormal.
Although there are no wild flowers and grasses growing on the dirt hills, there are still a lot of hay in the mountains outside, while the tombs in the forest are bare and no grass grows.
Look at the tombstone again, no matter how tall or short the tombstone standing in front of the grave is, there is not a word on it, it is a bare plate stele!
Xie Toad said slowly: "You said that you have lived in Torii Township for twenty years and have never heard of a mass grave here, then obviously this mass grave has existed for more than twenty years, and the people imprisoned here are all old ghosts." ”
Leaving the forest, nine people quickly set up the coffin and changed places.
But further afield, it's still the forest.
This mound is forbidden in the countryside, and there are often rumors of ghosts, so no one has dared to go deep into it for many years.
There is no destruction by people, and the trees flourish luxuriantly.
When the campfire was regenerated, the group searched the surrounding woods.
No graves or anything like that were found this time.
Wang Qilin was about to go back, Xu Da quietly approached him, poked him with his hand, and pointed behind the two of them.
Seeing this, he looked back and saw Xie Toad squatting on the ground groping for something.
Repeated groping.
Wang Qilin asked tentatively, "Dao Chief?"
"Huh?" Xie Toad looked up.
"What are you looking for?"
"Look for leaves. ”
"Looking for leaves?"
"Well, I want to shit and find some leaves to wipe my ass, what's wrong?"
Wang Qilin rolled his eyes wildly.
The two waited for Xie Toad to pick up the leaves and leave, but Xie Toad picked up one after another and didn't leave.
Xu Da was impatient: "How many leaves are you looking for?"
Xie Toad was also impatient, and said, "I want to find a lot, what's wrong?"
"No, prepare so much, do you have to wipe your mouth in addition to your buttocks?" Xu Da asked curiously.
"Get out!"
He went to the tuba, Wang Qilin went to the trumpet, and entered the forest from two directions.
This grove is also home to intertwined locust trees.
The ground is full of fallen leaves.
Stepping on it is soft, like stepping on rotten meat.
Wang Qilin casually found a place to close his eyes and began to release water, and was about to moan comfortably halfway through peeing, when he suddenly felt something stabbing him in the back.
was stabbed in the deep mountains and old forests, and Wang Qilin hurriedly turned around.
This turn was startled and peed on one hand!
This made him angry, and he shoved the dick into his pants and asked, "Who?"
At some point, a man in a coarse white coat stood in the shadow of the locust tree behind him.
The light was dim, and it was hard to see what he looked like.
The man didn't say a word, just stood in the shadows.
Motionless.
There is no rest, and it does not look like a living person.
When he made this discovery, he leaned forward to take a closer look.
I was suddenly a little ashamed.
His courage was still not strong enough, and it turned out that this man was a stone statue.
It's just that the carving is too realistic, like a living person.
But where did this stone sculpture come from?
Wang Qilin looked around, the woods were deep and dark, and the branches of the trees shook when the wind blew.
The stone sculpture stood quietly in the shadow of the locust tree, and he thought about it, he was in a hurry to pee just now and didn't look at the environment carefully, so he probably didn't notice the stone carving.
But things were strange, and he hurried out of the woods.
Xie Toad came out with his Taoist robe for a long time, and when he saw this, Xu Da smiled evilly and wanted to tease him, but the old Taoist priest was even more ruthless: "If you open your mouth, believe it or not, I have a spell to stuff some hot stuff in my mouth?"
Xu Da immediately covered his mouth.
Wang Qilin told Xie Toad about the stone statue, and Xie Toad's face immediately became solemn after hearing it: "Is there such a thing?" Take me over to see it." ”
The three of them went into the woods again.
The vision was very bad at night, and Wang Qilin just now found a random place to pee, so it took a while to find a place.
There were also water stains on the leaves on the ground.
But the stone carvings were gone.
Xie Toad's face was solemn: "This wasteland is really an evil sect, no wonder you are a forbidden place in your township." ”
Wang Qilin asked calmly, "What was that just now?"
Xie Toad groaned for a moment and said, "I guess it's a mountain puppet......"
He was about to elaborate, when the night wind blew in, with a voice that seemed to be deliberately suppressing his voice: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, thank Daochang, thank Daochang......"
Xie Toad hurriedly shut up, and the three of them listened attentively.
The voice was soft, soft, and intermittent.
Xu Da listened to the gloomy expression: "Who is calling here, why didn't you call me?"
Wang Qilin wanted to slash him: This kind of thing has to be compared?
Xie Toad hurriedly said: "Don't agree, it may be a wild ghost calling the soul!"
They didn't answer, and the crumbling call in the wind slowly stopped.
Wang Qilin waved his hand, and the three of them hurriedly withdrew first.
At night, Laolin is by no means a good place to talk about ghosts.
As a result, as soon as they walked out of the forest, the men carrying the coffins surrounded one after another, and some even shed tears: "You finally came out, but I didn't agree to you just now, and I thought you were also missing!"
Wang Qilin was depressed: "You were calling us just now?"
Xie Toad is an old Jianghu, and he paid attention to the key point: "Who is missing?"
Ninth Brother Chen Jiutie said with a blushing face: "A brother named Su Yaojin, come and talk about it." ”
Lao Ruan is a man in tears, he said: "Not long after you entered the forest, Brother Jin also wanted to relieve him, Brother Jiu was afraid that something would happen to me and let me go with him, and we didn't go far......
"Don't talk nonsense!" Wang Qilin said in a deep voice.
Lao Soft hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, it's that Brother Jin went into the forest and squatted behind an old tree, and then he suddenly said, 'Who are you', and then there was no sound, I called his name, and then he didn't answer, and then we went to look and found that he was gone!"
"You've found the right place?"
"Got it right. ”
Wang Qilin said to Xie Toad: "When I saw the stone statue, I also subconsciously asked, 'Who are you'!"
The ninth brother asked, "Lord Wang, Daochang Xie, what should I do?"
Xu Da muttered, "Why don't you ask me?"
Xie Toad groaned and said, "Does he have any clothes and luggage left?"
"There was no clothing, but a sack of grain. ”
"Take it. ”
Xie Toad took out a piece of yellow table paper from his arms and rubbed it on the grain bag, then skillfully folded a paper crane with one hand, and turned his finger to the crane's head: "The wind rises, hurry!"
The crane flew up with the night wind, but then it burst into flames.
Seeing this, Xie Toad's face became ugly: "His anger is gone." ”
Lao Soft lived up to his name, his legs were really soft, and he knelt on the ground and cried.
Chen Jiu asked with a heavy face, "Are you dead?"
Xie Toad wanted to answer, but shook his head: "You still don't know." ”
Everyone shuddered.
That's worse than death.
Chen Jiu looked at the remaining seven brothers and said resolutely, "Carry the coffin and return." ”
Xie Toad smiled coldly: "The mountain puppet is closed to the road, and you can't go out, so you can't move at this time, so you can't respond to all changes without change!"
