22. Onito
A crescent moon leans on the treetops.
In a large wood, tall trees grow in a staggered manner, with jagged shadows and high and low. The trees cover the sky and shake the leaves, shelter the wind and rain, and shelter the sun and the moon.
Deep in the woods, you can hear the chirping of insects and ants, and the crawling of birds and beasts. The moonlight is slanted, even if the shadows of the trees in the forest and the strange rocks are craggy, it looks like it is dancing with teeth and claws, and it only feels that the wind and trees around are roaring, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. It seems that there are demons lurking everywhere in an unknown place, and it is very terrifying.
In the darkness, there was only a white lantern with a hazy light white fluorescence.
Tao Hui and Liu Xingrong stood in front of the grave in the forest in a daze.
Around him was the endless barren graves, and the two of them actually came to this strange forest grave inexplicably, Liu Xingrong's face was pale, and his heart was terrified.
"Little friend, it's better to leave quickly. ”
"Shhhh
The two looked at each other, glanced at each other, got along day and night for a few days, and shared hardships, and had already sharpened some tacit understanding. After a moment, he understood the deep meaning contained in his eyes, and Liu Xingrong immediately remained silent.
Tao Hui frowned deeply, as if she had encountered a great problem, and suddenly her eyes froze, and she tightly grasped the firewood knife in her hand.
I saw a pair of sharp horns on the top of the spired mound not far away, followed by a big head slowly drilled out, and in an instant I saw a pair of strange eyes as fierce and vicious as copper bells, two large wings followed closely behind, and then a skinny body.
The peach coat emblem is like the color of the earth, and the heart is about to rise to the throat, but fortunately, there is the human skin mask to hide. I heard the master talk about some strange stories in the mountains, and the ghosts are also afraid of some fierce and arrogant people, but they like to bully those kind people.
The hideous evil ghost stared at the strange eyes like copper bells, and actually drilled out from under the grave again, and the evil ghost slowly approached the peach coat emblem again, and the bronze bell-like eyes were staring at the scholar in front of him.
The scholar seemed to have passed his prime, was very thin, and wore a light-colored robe. It's just that there are some stains on it, and it's a little tattered, and it looks ragged, and it looks more and more down. The scholar's appearance is also quite ugly, the yellow face is pitted and uneven, and the new and old scars are shocking...
In a trance, the hideous ghost was surprised to find that the scar-faced scholar in front of him was holding a firewood knife in his hand, and he was looking at himself vigilantly, and the evil ghost smiled hideously.
"Sir, don't be afraid, the old man doesn't want to harm the two. ”
This hideous demon actually raised his hand in a good way.
"You...?" asked Peach Hui in shock, and asked in a snorting voice.
"The talent of the old Tianzheng period has been literate and hyphenated since he was a child, and he has been writing poems. is not called a high eight buckets, but he is also rich in five cars. It's just that he died of a sudden evil disease and died without treatment, so he was buried in the ancestral grave of this barren mountain and dense forest..."
"I don't know the old man, Uncle is looking for me..."Peach Hui looked stunned, and asked with a little doubt, "What's the matter?"
"The old man is lonely here, wandering and wandering. Over the past 100 years, I have experienced several ups and downs, but my husband is the first person who can see me. The old ghost sighed slightly, as if Gu Ying felt sorry for himself, and said with emotion, "It's just that in this quiet night and desolate suburbs, the two gentlemen are walking alone, aren't they afraid of being taken advantage of by demons and monsters?"
Tao Hui secretly slandered in his heart, demons, ghosts, aren't you an old man!
Seeing that this hideous demon had no malicious intent, her face softened greatly, and she put down the firewood knife that was tightly held in her hand.
"My cousin and I went to Yanzhou to visit relatives. ”
"Oh, this way to Yanzhou must pass through Nayang Village. The hideous demon muttered to himself, and asked again: "I don't know the two gentlemen, but you are going to Yang Village?"
"Exactly. ”
"I don't know sir..."The hideous demon slowly paced back with his hands behind his back, and his expression was a little pleading, "Can you do the old man a little favor?"
"Uncle, please speak. ”
"Little friend... You are..."
Liu Xingrong on the side became more and more suspicious in his heart, the young man next to him actually said to himself out of thin air, his eyes widened, and he looked around, but he never found the slightest figure around.
Could it be the evil spirits rumored in the mountains? Liu Xingrong was terrified, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only take a few steps closer and watch the changes, and he not only smiled bitterly and shook his head again and again.
In the evil said, he didn't know how many people he had said in his life, and today's Great Qi Luo Emperor focused on magic and tried his best to support it, so the masters of magic were especially widely distributed among the people.
And he filled up the numbers indiscriminately, mixed in them, figured out people's hearts with words and looks, and fabricated them out of thin air, after being trusted by the people of the main family.
Then he pretended to be profound, and then slowly and logically said that he had encountered some kind of demon at a certain time and place, and then how to fight with the dragon, how to devote his whole body to cultivating into a sword swing, how the wind and clouds protruded, how the world changed color, how earth-shattering, singing and crying.
Those masters are often dizzy and fascinated by it, and then he is leisurely saying that some made-up demons and monsters fighting with him have eyes like copper bells. There are also demons with eyes all over their bodies, and ghosts with long tongues that hang themselves. There is no shortage of rancid bodies and arthropods, like insects the size of mountains.
Now, since I met this boy by chance. Those who have never encountered strange things, and can't avoid demons and monsters, have become more out of thin air.
The hideous demon actually bowed to the scholar again, but he talked about it again.
"More than 300 years ago, after the 'Battle of Mountains and Rivers'. My ancestors of Yang Village settled down here to escape the war. The ancestor has a simple personality, is diligent and pragmatic..."
"Our ancestors, when they came here, bulldozed bricks and cut wood into beams. He began to build houses, hoe fields, raise poultry, have children, and pass on the lineage. As the years went by, this wasteland gradually became a small village......"
The hideous demon Bronze Bell was stunned for a moment, and his hideous face seemed to be in a trance, as if he was a little immersed in memories, but in a blink of an eye, he clenched his jagged teeth.
"Sir, an old man born in Yang Village, Qingzhou, his surname is Yang, his name is Ziyu, and his words are upright. This barren tomb is actually the ancestral tomb of Yang Village. Too many people in Yang Village are buried in this forest grave after a hundred years. The old man has been waiting here, looking forward to seeing his family and friends again one day, but..."
"It's just that for some reason, the old decay of this barren grave has been unworshipped for more than a year. ”
"Perhaps, the villagers have moved the graves elsewhere?" said Tao Hui suddenly, the Yang Village in the mouth of this evil ghost had such a vivid past, which made her very interested.
This world is really ridiculous, with the head of the prison and the dignified manners, the heart of the wolf and the lungs. There is also this hideous ghost, biting and chewing words, and the quality of the text is polite.
"The people of my Yang Village have always been born in Si and died in Si, there is a way to return to the roots, if you are not buried here for a hundred years, it is extremely unfilial. The hideous devil opened his mouth, "Sir, please come with me." ”
After speaking, this hideous demon actually led the peach coat emblem to a forest path.
Liu Xingrong saw that the young man in front of him was pulling his legs and leaving, his face changed, but he didn't say much, just followed behind the young man.
A few people walked around in this dense forest, and after a while, they suddenly opened up in front of them. The dense forest, which could not be walked out of no matter what, was easily walked out under the guidance of the hideous demon in front of him.
This way directly out of the dense forest, several people came to a mountain.
"Look, sir. ”
The peach coat emblem was full of suspicion, and looked in the direction pointed by the hideous ghost.
"Huh?"
As far as the eye can see, the smoke is filled, as if in a dream, the moon is in the middle of the sky, the mountain is clearly visible, but the mountain is hazy.
The layers of misty white mist were like a huge white tent, covering a small village.
The night was already dark, and everything in the village was hidden in the thick white mist, and people could not see the slightest clue, only the tips of some towering heavy buildings and flying pavilions were faintly visible.
This fog?
The peach coat emblem was puzzled, and suddenly heard the hideous demon speak again.
"Sir doesn't know, it's strange to say, this fog often comes out of nowhere at night......" The hideous demon pointed into the depths of the cloud, and the copper bell stared wide-eyed.
"The old man has always wanted to check the tricks, but because he is an earthbound spirit, he can't leave this barren mountain. For more than a year, there has been no descendant to come to worship and be buried in this dense forest ancestral tomb. The old decay became more and more anxious, more and more resentful, and his appearance became more and more ugly. ”
"Huh?"
"My descendants have always been filial, and they will not ignore their ancestors, I am afraid that something has happened, and please help me" The hideous evil ghost was stunned word by word, and his face was solemn.
"How can I help?"
"Then I asked the gentleman to give me a message to my people. In the darkness of the night, the hideous evil ghost seemed to hand over an object, "Sir, just give this to my granddaughter and tell her ......."
