The old man said that he would get up, saying that he was a bachelor forty miles away in the east, called the Sheep Guy Pavilion, and I don't know what the specific name is, anyway, everyone is used to calling it like this.

On a dark and windy night, the old sheep herd heard the movement of the livestock behind the house, and thought that some wild beast had come to steal the sheep, so he took a stick and got up to check it.

But the beast did not see it, but found a ghostly thing, grabbed one of his sheep, caught it under its armpit, and ran up the hill without a sound.

Strange to say, not only was the sheep caught by the ghost silent, but the ghost ran without any movement, and looking at his appearance, his feet seemed to be floating on the ground at all.

"And where did this ghost end up?" Feng Bai's interest was suddenly raised to a twelve-point high, because it might be a useful clue.

The old sheep was scared, and the ghost ran very fast, and he went away all at once, so he didn't continue to chase it, so he didn't know where the ghost ended up. "Old man said.

Feng Bai nodded, and then asked the old man where the sheep old man lived, so that he could visit tomorrow.

That night, because the old man's family did not have extra houses and beds, and the old man thought that Fengbai and Su were a young couple, he arranged for them to sleep in the same room and bed.

Feng Bai was afraid that he would ruin Su Su's innocence, so he proposed to sleep on the ground. Who knew that Su Su didn't mind, and insisted on asking Fengbai to lie with her.

"It's okay for you to treat me like a man. She said.

"But you're not a man. ”

"It's okay, we sleep with clothes, what does it matter?"

"It's still not good, you are the princess of the Giant Elephant Kingdom, and you must pay attention to your own name. ”

Su Su sneered lightly, looking very disdainful: "What do we don't do, what do we have to do with the reputation?" said and didn't care whether Feng Bai agreed or not, and pulled Feng Bai to lie on the bed.

Fengbai was very embarrassed and couldn't sleep for a while. On the contrary, it was Su Su on the other end who fell asleep all at once. Feng Bai shook his head, thinking that this princess is really big-hearted, isn't she really afraid that she will do evil to her?

On the second day, Feng Bai wanted to send Su Su back to the palace, and then go to the sheep old man to find out about the ghost. Su Su didn't agree, so he had to go with him, so Feng Bai had to take her with him.

I went forty miles to the west, inquired along the road, and finally found the sheep herd.

He looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, with a lame leg, limping when he walked, and his spirit was not very good, hunched over, and old.

Listening to Fengbai ask about ghosts, he shook his head into a rattle: "There are no ghosts, I was dazzled that night and saw it wrong." ”

Feng Bai was suspicious: "It's not a ghost, what is it?"

"It's just a grizzly bear. The old sheep didn't look at Feng Bai either, and replied.

"But I heard that this ghost has your sheep under his armpit, how can I ask how the grizzly bear is clamped?"

The old sheep glanced at Feng Bai and did not speak.

"Uncle, no matter what you see, you don't have to be afraid, I tell you the truth, I am an immortal from Zhongzhou, as long as you give me a guide or two, it is a ghost, and I can catch it." ”

The sheep old man couldn't help but take a serious look at Feng Bai, and finally stopped his gaze on Feng Bai's scepter.

"Old sheep herd, you don't have to be afraid, Feng Bai's ability is great. Su also gave him courage from the side.

The old sheep was silent for a while, and finally spoke again: "I did see a thing that I don't know if it is a human or a ghost, and this thing has passed for decades, and I haven't seen it since.

But in recent decades, people on the other side of Rhino Mountain have lost a sheep or calf almost every other month. At first, the people over there thought that it was eaten by wild beasts on the Rhino Mountain, but when a hunter was hunting in the mountain, he found something unexpected. ”

"What's unexpected?" said Feng Bai and Su in unison.

The hunter chased a fox wounded by a clamp to a cave, and when he entered the cave, he found that the cave was full of animal carcasses, and from the skull there were not only cattle and sheep, but also bears, wolves, leopards, and other beasts of prey.

The hunter was frightened, so he came out, and when he came back to the village, everyone thought it was incredible, even the bears and leopards were eaten, which showed how powerful this thing was. Moreover, it can be inferred that the herdsmen's cattle and sheep are not eaten by fierce beasts at all, but this cruel thing that even bears and leopards dare to eat. ”

The sheep old man swallowed his saliva and continued: "Within a few days, this hunter disappeared without explanation. His three sons suspected that it had something to do with the cruel thing on the mountain, so they searched for the rhinoceros mountain and found the cave, but a terrible thing happened. ”

"Ahh

"They saw a big black snake in the cave, and the head of the big black snake was raised high like a big umbrella, and its body was twice as thick as the body of an adult.

The big black snake opened its mouth and swallowed Orion's eldest son on the spot, and the second and third sons tried to fight the black snake, but the second son was also eaten, and in the end, only the third son escaped.

After the news spread, the herdsmen within a radius of dozens of miles no longer cared about the theft of livestock, anyway, they lost one head a month, and everyone took turns one by one, and they couldn't lose anything. ”

When the old sheep said this, his eyes narrowed, he looked at Feng Bai and Su Su, and said, "Young man, I advise you not to take care of this matter, you can't take care of it." ”

Feng Bai knew why he refused to mention this matter in the first place, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble to himself and others, or even losing his life.

But how can such an important clue be given up?

"Uncle, do you know where Orion's surviving third son lives now?"

Hearing this, the sheep old man squinted and looked at Feng Bai seriously, and looked straight at it for a while. His eyes are not good, and if he stares at them for a long time, his eyes will cry, and he wipes the corners of his eyes, as if he is crying.

"Young man, even if you are really a fairy, I advise you not to go, if you lose your life, my sheep old man will be guilty. ”

"It's all right, just tell me where Orion's third son is. ”

The old sheep turned his head to look out of the house, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Fengbai, I also think forget it, this big black snake is so fierce, it eats livestock, it is a fierce beast, it eats people, I'm afraid of ......"

"Are you afraid I'll be eaten too?"

"Hmm. ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of, I can still dodge the three moves of the great god Houtu, and I'll be afraid of a snake?"

When the old sheep heard the four words of the great god Houtu, he was stunned, and then stared at Fengbai carefully for a while, and then said slowly: "Young man, I hope you can really eliminate the harm for the people, if you remove this evil, I will lead the herdsmen under the rhinoceros mountain to build a temple statue for you." ”

As soon as Feng Bai heard this, he knew that the sheep herd was going to tell him the residence of Orion's third son, and he was immediately overjoyed.

Sure enough, the sheep old man told Fengbai that Orion's third son lived not far from the main peak of the rhinoceros mountain fifty miles to the west.

Feng Bai and Su Su left the house of the sheep herd, and before they could mount their mounts, they saw four or five guards galloping close and surrounding them.

"Princess, the king is looking for you everywhere, go back with us. "One of them.

"I'm not going back. Su Su turned his face away.

"If you don't go back, we won't be able to get along. ”

"What does it matter to me whether you guys are good or not?"

The guards were speechless and glanced left and right, and the two guards suddenly jumped off their horses and lifted Su up.

"Fengbai, help me, I don't want to go back. Su Su struggled and shouted.

Feng Bai felt that the king would definitely be worried that Su Su had been out for so long, so it would be better for her to go back, so he said: "You better go back, Rhino Mountain may be dangerous, so don't follow you." ”

"You bastard, you don't even care about me. Su Su said angrily.

Feng Bai smiled: "When I come back from Rhino Mountain, I'll apologize to you." ”

"You asshole, you asshole, you're not human. Su cursed, and was carried on his horse by the guards, and then galloped with the guards to the Elephant King's Palace.

Feng Bai shook his head with a smile, and then rode alone to extinguish the fire and galloped in the direction of Rhino Mountain.
