Chapter 20: The Ancient Beasts
"Mountain God Wanfu ~~~ Bless me White Mountain ~~~"
"Drink~~~Hey~~~"
......
Firewood was lit on the dam field in Baishan Village, and the villagers were jubilant, singing and dancing, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of the rest of their lives, which was a little more lively than the Spring Festival.
I don't see the cold and some people are freezing, and others only hear the sound of celebration.
I don't know if it's irony or the cruelty of reality? I don't know how many "ignorant" people have been harmed by the word "superstition." It's them, it's a tragedy to bury an innocent girl in vain!
......
Just as everyone got carried away, a figure rushed into the crowd and headed straight for a numb-faced and hungry old man.
"Who?"
"Village Chief!"
The villagers were shocked and hurriedly surrounded them.
Tu Lei grabbed the village chief's shirt and roared, "Where is my sister?
"Ah! he's Tu Lei!"
"He's the evil spirit!"
"Does he dare to come back? Hang him up......
"Yes, he should be hung up and sacrificed to the mountain god!"
By the light of the fire, the villagers saw who was coming, and shouted one after another, but no one dared to step forward to do it.
When the pock-faced village chief saw Tu Lei's fierce expression, he was immediately frightened, and his face receded, showing paleness. The happy mood just now has already been thrown out of the clouds!
"Quick, come and pull him away, pull him away!"
The exclamation of the village chief woke everyone up, and several stout men among the villagers immediately rushed forward. But they had only taken two steps before they stopped, motionless in place, their pupils constricted, their expressions full of fear.
"Come on!"
The head of the pock-faced village was afraid of anger at this time, and when he saw those strong sweaters stopping, he was even more anxious.
Tu Lei grabbed the village chief's neck, and the strength in his hand increased a few points.
"Demon law! This kid has a demon law! They can't move!" These villagers saw the strange appearance of a few strong sweaters, and hurriedly retreated, looking at Tu Lei with a look of fear.
"You're damned!" Tu Lei clenched his right fist angrily, and was about to smash it down!
At this time, two women suddenly appeared on the scene and stopped him from making a move.
"Tu Lei, forget it!" Chenxiang stopped Tu Lei and said, "Hatred is not everything, you should think about the living." β
"Someone alive?!" Tu Lei's body trembled, and he came to his senses: "Yes, my sister, my sister...... Tell me, where's my sister?"
In such a form, how could the village chief still have room to resist, with a cowardly look, he said: "Dao chief, he ......"
"Smack!"
Tu Lei slapped him and said viciously: "What kind of Taoist chief! He is a liar who cheats money and sex, and he is a liar!"
The pock-faced village chief didn't care about the hotness of his cheeks, and hurriedly said yes, and continued: "That liar, he took your sister to the 'ghost cave' in the back mountain. β
"Who's following?"
He went alone. β
"Smack!"
Another slap, Tu Lei glared at the people around him angrily, and cursed: "You bastards, let a man take my sister away like this? You also have mothers and sisters...... Are you still human? My sister is only 16 years old, are you human? Forcing my parents to death, harming my sister, all of you will not die a good death, you will not die a good death......
The people around lowered their heads weakly, and they didn't return the words even if Tu Lei cursed. At first, they also wanted to go and see it, but when they heard the Taoist priest say how dangerous the ghost cave was, and how selfish humanity reappeared, no one dared to go up! When I think about it now, it's a great irony!
The more he talked, the more angry he became, Tu Lei still wanted to do it, but Chenxiang persuaded him and said: "Enough Tu Lei, they will pay the price for their ignorance." Perhaps, they will live in self-blame and guilt for the rest of their lives, and there is nothing more suitable for them than this punishment...... Let's go save your sister first. β
"Yes. Tu Lei let go of the village chief and ran ahead to lead the way.
Xiao Rou turned around and walked to the village chief, and said angrily: "I originally respected the old man very much, but people like you are not worthy of the respect of others...... Hmph!deserve it!" he said and kicked the village chief. In the darkness of the night, there was a miserable howl!
"Xiaorou, let's go!"
"Yes, I'm here. β
Clapping her hands, Xiao Rou chased after them towards Chenxiang.
Everyone was dumbfounded, this girl is a little evil!
......
ββββββββββββ
The moonlight sprinkled the branches, and the mountains and forests reflected a piece of silver.
On the mountainside, a cold chill emanated from a cave. Since the bones of poultry were found here, it also became a "ghost cave" in the mouths of mountain people.
Outside the cave came a middle-aged Taoist priest with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, who placed the unconscious girl on the edge of the rock, and then took out a peachwood sword and slashed at the entrance of the cave......
"Of course I do a full set of ...... Hehe, those idiots, just obedient with a little tricking. Not only did she give me money, but she also gave me this little lady with fine skin and tender meat, which is really interesting! Haha-" The Taoist priest laughed wildly in his heart.
He was an ordinary charlatan, cheating and drinking in Datong City all day long, and more than half a month ago he heard that Baishan Village invited Taoist priests, and knew that it was an opportunity to make a fortune. So he hurriedly arranged everything, scattered the chicken bones outside the cave, and panicked that this was the "man-eating ghost cave". Later, he revealed several tricks such as "spitting fire" and "fighting ghosts" to deceive the trust of the villagers.
Originally, he just wanted to cheat some money and leave, but by chance, he met a hunter's daughter on the mountain, and he was moved by lust, and he wanted the villagers to sacrifice with a girl. And that girl was Tu Lei's sister, that is, the girl who was unconscious in front of her, which led to the tragedy that happened later.
......
After looking around, the Taoist priest didn't notice any movement, and then picked up the girl and walked to the cave.
After a while, the fire flickered in the cave.
The cave is deep but not very large, the walls are full of large and small caves, and the ground is very dry, except for the gloomy feeling, this is a good cave.
Looking at the unconscious girl on the ground, the Taoist priest's eyes showed an obscene light.
"Little lady, little lady, if you want to blame you, blame those townspeople, you are sent by them, even if I Zhang San wants to do it, they are afraid that they will also force it on me, right......?
Tu Ling was alert, and gradually woke up from the coma, and what caught his eyes was a shirtless man, his eyes were obscene, and there was saliva at the corner of his mouth, and his appearance was extremely trivial and disgusting.
"You, what are you going to do? Quick, let go of me......"
Tu Ling struggled in fright, but his hands and feet were tied, and no matter how much he struggled, it was in vain.
"Haha-" Zhang San smiled and said, "Let go of you, you will be reluctant to leave later." This is the 'ghost cave', and if you cut your throat, no one will come to save you. Quack-"
"Let go of me, you brute! Bastard! Shameless stinky fellow! You can't die well! You're ...... to be a ghost."
Hearing Tu Ling crackling and scolding a lot of words, Zhang San was stunned. I can't imagine that the girl who is usually timid and scared and sven scolds people so hard. What a human being!
......
Being cursed like this, Zhang San was annoyed, and said fiercely: "Just scold, you will be good-looking soon!"
"Ahh
Tu Ling looked ahead and screamed again, how many times brighter than he did just now.
"Hehe, little beauty, now you know you're scared!"
Zhang San shook his hair proudly, his heart was even more satisfied, but he didn't see the fear in Tu Ling's eyes, it was definitely the fear of the heart!
"Hey, ...... behind" seemed to feel a chill, and Zhang San couldn't help but turn his head behind him.
β......β
Zhang San stood still and didn't dare to move, and two jerky words appeared in his mind -- "monster"!
What is in front of you? Is it a "big tiger"!? A blood-red, ox-like body, a lion tiger on the outside, two huge sarcomas on its back, and its eyes shining with blood-devouring golden light.
"I, my mother, this, what is this?" Zhang San swallowed nervously, and his heart was horrified and couldn't make a sound.
"Whew-"
With a beast roar, the monster opened its bloody mouth, and Tu Ling fainted on the spot.
Zhang San thought that he was a monster and wanted to eat him, so out of instinctive self-preservation, he ran away......
The monster didn't rush to catch up, glanced at it mockingly, and then walked over to Tu Ling and sniffed.
......
"Help!
The cave is rugged, and his upper body is covered with scaly wounds all over his body...... But he still rushed out of the cave desperately.
......
In the mountains and forests, three figures are running on the path, and the speed is comparable to that of a cheetah.
Tu Lei took advantage of the moonlight to hurry, he grew up in the mountains, and he naturally moved freely on such a mountain road, and the two daughters of Chenxiang also followed closely with their wonderful light skills.
"In front of the dusty girl is the 'ghost cave', let's ......" Tu Lei hadn't finished speaking, but he saw a person running out of the cave.
"It's him! That's him! He's the liar! You bruteβ"
Seeing the man's appearance clearly, Tu Lei roared and rushed forward.
......
Of course, Zhang San knew Tu Lei, but now he didn't care about anything else, he only wanted to live.
"Brute, I'll kill you!"
Tu Lei grabbed Zhang San and didn't have any chance to talk to him, and smashed punches on his body one after another.
......
"Enough of Tu Lei. Seeing this, Chenxiang stepped forward to stop him, and said softly: "If you beat him again, he will die, ask your sister's whereabouts." β
Tu Lei suddenly came to his senses, secretly scolded himself for being blinded by hatred, and then picked up Zhang San and said, "Say, what about my sister?"
She ...... She was ......, "Zhang San's nose is blue and his face is swollen at this time, his qi is weak and weak, and he can't spit out half a word for a long time."
"You, say it quickly!"
"Yes, there are monsters......"
"Smack-"
Tu Lei slapped it down and roared, "You are a beast." Tell me, what's wrong with my sister?"
"Cave, there really is a ......" Zhang San wanted to say more, but he didn't interrupt.
"Whew-"
A cold beast roar resounded throughout the mountains and forests, startling layers of snow waves.
When Chenxiang and the others heard the reputation, they were also stunned!
Zhang San was so frightened that he exclaimed: "Yes, it's it, it's it, it's that monster who ate your sister!
β......β
Dead!My sister is dead?!Eaten by that monster?!
The anger in Tu Lei's heart overpowered the fear, and he drew the dagger at his waist and rushed towards the monster desperately......
"Tu Lei is back!" Dusty Fragrance looked shocked, and Xiaorou tugged at Dusty Fragrance's clothes.
Tu Lei was very angry, but anger did not bring him great strength. In front of the monster, he was not any threat at all. The monster was not in a hurry to kill him, but fought with him. Some powerful "hunters" will play tricks on their "prey" before hunting. Obviously, this monster is the "hunter", and Tu Lei is the "prey".
Chenxiang saw Duan'er and knew that Tu Lei would not be harmed for a while, so he quickly thought about a countermeasure in the middle of the trouble.
Xiao Rou on the side said nervously: "Sister Chenxiang, that monster is so powerful, so terrifying! What should we do?"
"Xiao Rou recognizes?"
"Well, I have read the record in the "Book of Foreign Objects": There is a beast in the northwest, which resembles a tiger, has wings and can fly, and then kills people, knows people's words, and sounds like dogs, has infinite strength, and is ferocious...... And its name is 'Qiqi', and it is one of the four fierce beasts of antiquity. I didn't expect to meet here today!"
"And what weaknesses does it have?"
"No, the Ancient Beast is only capable of enemies, and has no weak points to attack. But ......"
"But what?"
"This 'Poor Strange' seems to be still in the growth period and has not fully developed. The sarcoma on its back hasn't grown wings yet, and if we go together, we should be able to deal with him. β
"Ahh
"Not good!" Seeing this, Chenxiang hurriedly rushed forward.
