Chapter 236: There are ghosts in the mountains
The place where Lao Xu's son disappeared was not far from Licheng, and Yuan Shidie and the others went out of the city in the morning and arrived near noon.
But the road up the mountain was rugged and difficult, and the four sedan drivers were tired.
In order to minimize the bumps in Jingfa's condition, Yuan Shidie had high requirements for the four sedan chair drivers, asking them to keep the sedan chair level every time they crossed a ditch and every time they climbed a section of a slope to prevent Jingfa from being injured again.
So after only half a day's work, the sedan chair drivers were already complaining.
Hearing the sedan chair man's complaint, Yuan Shidie had to take out the silver and offer a higher price to gag their mouths.
In this way, after another period of time, they managed to reach the place where Lao Xu's son disappeared.
It is a bamboo forest, surrounded by a thin white mist.
The sedan chair drivers couldn't figure out why Yuan Shidie asked them to carry the half-dead monk in the sedan chair to this wilderness, but after all, they were taking money to do things, as long as there was enough silver, there wouldn't be so much nonsense on their lips.
But when they came here, a chill inexplicably rose in their hearts, and they always felt that something in the fog was watching their every move.
Fear comes from the unknown.
They don't know if the thing they're staring at them exists, and they don't know what it is.
Because they didn't know, they were scared.
Just as Yuan Shidie was still walking forward, they stopped.
"What's the matter?, I just added the money and didn't leave?" Seeing that the sedan chair drivers didn't follow, Yuan Shidie frowned and said a little unhappily.
"I'm sorry, this lord, this bamboo forest seems to be a little weird, don't you think there seem to be a pair of eyes staring at us all the time?" said one of the palanquins.
"Hmph, don't do bad things during the day, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and it's still daytime. As soon as Yuan Shidie's words fell, the white mist in the bamboo forest suddenly rolled up quickly, instantly blocking everyone's vision.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Ghost!"
This was followed by a riotous running sound, followed by a thud, which should have been the sound of a sedan chair falling to the ground.
Yuan Shidie frowned, knowing that the four sedan chair drivers were frightened and fled, and Jingfa's sedan chair must have been thrown to the ground by them.
She hurriedly ran towards the direction of the sedan chair, and as soon as she took a step, a trace of danger suddenly flashed through her mind, so she stopped abruptly in response.
Looking down, she saw a scorpion lying on her stomach where she was about to take a step, raising the sharp stinger on its tail high.
If she hadn't stopped just in time, the stinger would have penetrated into the sole of her foot by now, and the toxin would have already invaded her body.
Seeing that Yuan Shidie didn't get hit, the scorpion unhurriedly withdrew its tail stinger and crawled to the side slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared into the thick fog.
Seeing the scorpion's actions, Yuan Shidie was a little surprised, but immediately came back to her senses and remembered Jingfa's safety.
She rushed to the spot where she had heard the sedan chair falling.
She hadn't taken a few steps before she could faintly see the outline of the sedan chair in the thick fog.
Fortunately, the sedan chair was still there, Yuan Shidie breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and as soon as she stretched out her hand to open the sedan door, suddenly a trace of danger flashed in her mind, so frightened that she quickly withdrew her right hand.
With a hissing sound, a snake letter covered with barbs appeared where she had reached out just now.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Shidie immediately pulled out her long sword, and without saying a word, she stabbed directly in the direction where the snake letter appeared.
Then she clearly felt the tip of the sword stab at something, and immediately drew the sword back.
But the tip of the sword was not the poisonous snake she had imagined, but a branch.
"Is it really the hell?" Yuan Shidie looked at the slender branch, her eyes puzzled.
At this time, the fog around him became thicker and thicker, and even the sunlight in the sky could not penetrate for a few minutes, which made the already unclear vision worse.
This fog is very strange, whether it is a natural phenomenon or someone deliberately does it, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.
After thinking about it, Yuan Shidie Shi Jian opened the sedan door, preparing to carry Jingfa out and flee from here.
But when she walked into the sedan chair, she found that it was empty.
At this time, Yuan Shidie finally panicked, where did Jingfa go? How could he, a wasted person, suddenly disappear?
At this moment, a large white net suddenly fell from the sky, firmly enveloping the entire sedan chair, and with a whoosh, the volley was lifted in the air.
Yuan Shidie was startled, and immediately took out her sword and attacked the white net.
Her long sword was mixed with the fierce sword qi that had been cultivated through hard work, and with a tear, the white net that was easily cut through rescued the sedan chair from the net.
But at this time, the sedan chair was already in mid-air, and it fell heavily from such a height, and finally could not withstand the impact and cracked.
And Yuan Shidie did not follow the sedan chair to the ground, I saw that she was lucky, and suddenly rose to the sky, stabbing towards the direction where the white net appeared just now.
While her body was still flying in the air, two white threads swished out of the dense fog on both sides, tightly wrapped around her body, and pulled her down.
But Yuan Shidie's Emei swordsmanship is not only the blade that can hurt people, her sword aura is even more terrifying.
At this moment, she had already cast the falling flowers and flying leaves.
Although her body was pulled back by Bai Si, the sword qi roared up like an arrow from the string, instantly disappearing in the dense fog above her head.
Yuan Shidie only felt that the white silk entangled in her suddenly trembled violently, and then a few drops of dark green liquid fell from the air and dripped onto her clothes, instantly dissolving a big hole.
Obviously, the sword just hit something.
But it's also clear that this sword completely angers this thing.
Yuan Shidie only felt a huge force surging from her waist, and the two white threads pulled her to move quickly to the side.
By the time she saw what was in front of her, it was too late, and her body was firmly imprisoned in a large net.
It's like a giant spider's web.
Since this spider web is so big, it means that the spider that weaves this web cannot be small.
Thinking that the sword she had just stabbed a big spider might have stabbed her, Yuan Shidie was so frightened that she hurriedly struggled.
She didn't want to be a spider's lunch.
But no matter how she struggled, the white silk on her body just didn't relax, not only didn't relax, but it became tighter and tighter.
At that moment, there was a sudden tremor from the spider's web, as if something was crawling quickly towards her along the web.
What else can crawl flexibly on the spider web besides spiders, as soon as she thought of this, Yuan Shidie's scalp was numb, and she forced her wrist to turn.
At this moment, she still holds a long sword in her right hand, as long as she wields the long sword to cut the cobwebs, she still has a glimmer of life.
With the strength of her wrist, the white silk on her body also seemed to be sensitized, and the force increased.
Just as she was about to lose control of her wrist, she threw her sword upwards with all her might.
With a tear, the sword sliced through part of the cobweb, causing something to fall from above.
It was a figure, a figure whose body was wrapped in white silk, revealing only a shiny and hairless head.
Seeing the shiny head appear, the vibration on the spider's web immediately changed direction and crawled in the direction of the head.
