Chapter 58: The Cave
The little mountain ghost threw himself on the body of the mother mountain ghost, hugged his mother tightly and was sad and painful for a long time, until the sun set and the moon rose, he still refused to let go.
Mo Yan sat quietly beside him, looking at the stars in the night sky, and his thoughts flew to the old house at the foot of Cangshan Mountain. Alas, I haven't heard from me for more than four years, are you okay with my parents? Thinking about it, my nose was sore, and I burst into tears.
The little mountain ghost fell asleep in the arms of the mother mountain ghost, and sobbed a few times from time to time.
Mo Yan also took a nap, dreaming that he had returned to the foot of Cangshan Mountain in Dali and relived those happy times in his childhood.
At this moment, the lid of the medicine box opened a gap slightly, and the faint green ball of light squeezed out, jumped on top of the little mountain ghost's head, and quietly slipped through its fontanelle.
The next day, Mo Yan dug a big pit in front of the cave, and buried the corpses of the mother mountain ghost and two charred male mountain ghosts, although the two of them were the murderers of the mother mountain ghosts, but it was only for a bag of salt.
The little mountain ghost has grown more than a head taller and stronger in recent years, but he is still a child and needs to be taken care of.
"Ho-ho. Mo Yan told him to follow him from now on.
The little mountain ghost screamed with joy.
"I'm going to have to give you a name, let's call it 'Dong Dong'. Mo Yan thought that he and the little mountain ghost got acquainted in the cave, so he gestured.
The little mountain ghost nodded as if he didn't understand.
Mo Yan took out the bronze mirror that he gave to the little mountain ghost, and he couldn't help but be startled when he saw the image in the mirror, and he was very happy when he figured out that it was himself.
The two of them cleaned the cave again, and Mo Yan took out the little Feiyun Ding and put it in the cave, and the body in the eyes of the dementor was overflowing with colorful tassels and exuding a breathtaking aura.
Jin Danzi, this is really a good ding.
Mo Yan counted his belongings, Pikan shoulder, more than 100 three-color true pills, a demon pill of the ghost-faced spirit owl, silver tickets and supplements from the three-grade civil officials, all of which were good, but the spirit ape's Yuan Shen Light Ball was missing. After calculating the number of seven or seven, it is probably gone. Alas, this is fine, it is better than being imprisoned in the Nanyue Wang Ding and suffering.
Now that Mrs. Gui Qimin and others have been subdued, Miao Fenglin's revenge has been avenged, and the crime between himself and Xia Bashan has also been withdrawn.
Prevention is better than prevention, anticipating the enemy's opportunity to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, this is the greatest insight that Mo Yan has gained in the past few years.
"Dongdong, we have to go to Shennongding, hunt demon pills or collect some real medicine to refine a few talismans, and then go back to my hometown in Yunnan with me. ”
"Ho-ho. The little mountain ghost nodded in response.
At this time, Mo Yan wore a bow, arrow, dagger and machete on the shoulder strap of Pikan, Xiao Feiyunding's baggage, medicine hoe and other things were placed in the basket, and the medicine basket full of salt and dried meat was also carried on the medicine box in the cave, and the two walked into the vast forest together.
The last time the mother mountain ghost took him to Shennongding, he vaguely remembered the direction, and some wild beasts along the way didn't dare to approach the red-haired mountain ghost when they saw it, so they avoided a lot of attacks.
After a few days, they finally saw the mountain towering like a mist-shrouded peak.
The meadows are full of wildflowers, the sun is warm, the birds chirp everywhere, and the air is intoxicatingly fresh.
But Mo Remnant is always vigilant in his heart, the more quiet and peaceful he seems to be on the surface, the more likely there is an inexplicable danger lurking.
The green carpet of meadows has a vast white expanse, the water is extremely clear, and some white-brown animal bones can occasionally be seen scattered on the shore.
Dong Dong felt thirsty, so he put down his things and jumped to the edge of the Ze to drink water, the water was cool and sweet and very moisturizing his throat, and he happily shouted "Ho Ho" to Mo Remnant to go over.
When Mo Yan was about to take a step, he suddenly saw a white line on the water coming straight towards the hole, and he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly bent his bow and arrow to shoot at the white line. "Bang" sound on the water surface of the huge waves, a more than two feet long full of golden lins jumped out of the water, the thick tail swept the feather arrow away, the mouth of the "wow" let out a series of baby crying sounds, straight to the little mountain ghost.
Seeing this, he turned his head and ran, and was almost bitten by the fangs of the strange fish, and the strange fish pounced into the air and sank under the water.
Mo Yan was frightened into a cold sweat, and he was relieved to see that the cave was fine.
"Ho-ho. The cave pointed to the ripples in the water.
"Okay, you have to be more careful in the future, this place in Shennongding is full of dangers, and you can't take it lightly. Mo Yan comforted him.
The two continued towards the peak, and soon came to the valley they had been to before. The snow has long since melted, and the dense bushes are full of life, and those small white animals can still be seen everywhere, occasionally running through the trees and grass.
Mo Yan's gaze fell on the bottom of the cliff, the seven- or eight-foot-tall trillium grass in the rock crevice was still there, and the white-haired weasel he saw last time was still lying quietly under the stem, staring at them with vigilant eyes.
Mo Yan didn't get close to it, although he took the dzi last time, he also left the dzi, and the immortal grass elixir bred by heaven and earth was not owned by anyone, but it was a matter of course for anyone who had the ability to take it.
The further I walked up the mountain, the vegetation gradually became scarcer, and I felt a slight chill on my body. Mo Yan stopped, it seems that the lower mountainside of Shennongding is warmer and suitable for the reproduction and growth of plants, and if you go up, you may not be able to find the real medicine.
His gaze fell on the bottom of a cliff, and in the distance lay a dead tree trunk on the ground, its mottled bark glowing in patches reflected by the sunlight, and behind it was a small cave.
I didn't pay attention for a moment, Dongdong ran to the front again, sat on the trunk of the tree and waved to this side, Mo Yan quickly quickened his pace.
At this moment, the seemingly withered trunk suddenly bent and twisted tightly around the hole, and the little mountain ghost screamed in horror.
At this moment, Mo Yan realized that it was not a piece of rotten wood at all, but a thick python, and the mottled bark turned out to be its scales.
Mo Yan hurriedly pulled out the feather arrow and put it on the bow, he didn't dare to use the gunpowder arrow for fear of hurting the little mountain ghost. The giant python found Mo Remnant who was approaching step by step, so he didn't immediately devour the little mountain ghost, but just wrapped it tightly and raised his head and stared at Mo Remnant, the bright red snake letter more than two feet long kept shaking, and the mouth made a "hiss" threatening sound.
Mo Yan took this opportunity to put on a gunpowder arrow, lit the fuse, and then pulled out the hard bow and aimed at the giant python's blood basin mouth and shot an arrow that went directly into its mouth, and then heard a muffled sound of "boom", and the giant python came out of its mouth and nose with billowing smoke, and a strong smell of sulfur could be smelled in the air.
The giant python slowly fell, and the python's body gradually relaxed, and the cave broke free and ran back behind Mo Remnant, poking out his head and looking at the smoking python in fear.
"Who is so bold as to kill my little snake?" asked a young and beautiful woman who came out of the cave, and asked in a loud and angry voice.
