Chapter 9 Mandrills

At night, the moonlight shines through the window, very bright, but Zen lies in the main hall but is always restless, lying on the bed tossing and turning, thoughts like a tide. Ever since he knew that the name of the centipede in the Dao was Pudu Cihang, he always had a premonition in his heart that it was not good, probably because people who cultivated the truth were always more sensitive.

At this time, the moon was in the west, and the silver light had already covered the window lattice, and he had been tossing and turning for a long time, and there was no sound around him. Suddenly, I heard the rumbling of the wind, and the gate of the temple clanged.

It's so noisy!

He was already restless, insomnia and difficult to sleep, and at this time, listening to this voice, he was even more irritable.

Late at night, he heard strange noises, and he only thought that the other monks in the temple had forgotten to close the door, and he didn't think much about it.

At this moment, the sound of the wind slowly approached the house where he lived, and the sound of rustling and rustling continued to come for a while, which became even more weird. Zen was very puzzled, and before he could finish thinking about it, he heard the sound of thumping boots again, and slowly approached the bedroom door, and he was scared in his heart.

The trees are dense in the cold mountains, there are many shadows at night, many wild beasts lurking, and there are always various sounds that are creepy, but most of these are the sounds of trees blowing in the wind, or the sounds of animals, insects and birds.

However, Liujue is sensitive, and this absolutely ordinary voice is obviously the sound of footsteps.

Zen was vigilant, and when he turned over, he looked back suddenly, and was suddenly startled, what do you say? It turned around that he turned around and saw a head outside the window looking at him with his eyes inside, a murderous ghost, only to see that a pair of round eyes flashed green light and was particularly conspicuous, and the concave nose was very vicious. The face is green, and the teeth are sharp like saws. The big mouth like a blood basin, revealing four teeth, staggered up and down, drooling, very greedy and ferocious.

Seeing such a terrifying scene, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly trembled, and shivered all over his body, and for a while he was cold all over his body, and a cool breath rose from the soles of his feet to his scalp, and he was scared into a cold sweat, and he even held his breath, for fear that the breath would make the monster perceive.

The monster's head looked at where Zen was lying, and its eyes 'swished' and blinked, glowing green like a pearl of the night.

As soon as Zen moved, the monster noticed, and the head suddenly disappeared from the window. It's good to go, Zen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that the vest was cold and swishing, but there was a cold sweat, a gust of wind blew to cover the moon, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and Zen suddenly shivered.

Zen squinted his eyes, but saw a black cloud floating in the west to cover half of the sky, the cloud was like a large blue paper splashed with thick ink, full of ominous feeling, suffocated and depressed, as if wrapped in a thick nebula and difficult to get out. At this time, the cold wind was biting, and a gust of mountain wind blew through the 'whirring ......' as if something was crying, and the swaying shadows of the trees seemed to be strangely shaped, and each shadow was a ghost who wanted to choose people to devour, and there was no sound in the four places. And the moon had been obscured by dark clouds, and the bleak moonlight increased the panic and panic in people's hearts. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if I'm scared, Zen's whole body trembles, and I only feel that the yin and yin in this cold mountain is very infiltrating.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a strange 'Kaba Kaba ......' like a rat gnawing at the door.

This thing, it's not gone!

My heart pounded at once, and my whole nerve tensed.

Hold your breath and listen carefully, the sound is like the sound of a cat's paw scratching the plank, and then I can only hear the 'choking' sound of the door outside. The wood that was inserted into the door fell from the gate,

I heard a very tooth-squeaking ...... sound and the door opened. Then he heard the sound of thumping footsteps, and the sound of the wind had already entered the house, as if something was slowly burrowing into the house, and little by little came to him.

Zen's eyes widened, and his true anger swept into his eyes, and he looked at it sharply, and a very large ghost bent over and came in.

This monster looked very scary, like a monkey but not a monkey, five or six feet long, shaped like a child, with a face like an elder's nest melon, with a long golden hair on its body, but its two arms were longer than the monster's body. The hands were as thin and long as the claws of birds, and they were draped with blonde hair. Two round eyes with green light, as big as brass bells, flashed and flashed, and they turned their heads to look around, opening their huge mouths as big as basins, their teeth sparsely more than three inches long, and their tongues moved their throats and rattled their throats, and even the walls on all sides shook.

"It's a mandrill!"

The mandrill is a kind of ghost in the mountains, shaped like a child, with a long body and a black body, and infinite strength. Legend has it that it has a brutal personality, can run faster than a leopard, can tear tigers and leopards with his bare hands, is the overlord of the mountains, and has a very long life, and likes to eat prisoners at night. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" mentions: "There are mandrills in the south, with long human faces, long arms, black bodies with hair, heels, laughing when they see people, crying when they see people, covering their faces, because they eat people, they are fleeing when they see people." ”

At this time, he suddenly stood in front of his bed, almost as tall as Liang Zi, and Zen was very frightened. I thought that there must be no place to escape from such a small place, so it was better to take advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly assassinate it nearby.

Zen quietly touched out four peach wood cones, held them in his hand, first hit the strong and then suffered, when Zen suddenly burst out, instantly difficult, very fast to it, hit the abdomen, making an awl piercing the cloth like a sound.

The mandrill was furious and stretched out its huge claws to grab at him. At this time, the mandrill stretched out his big hand like a fan and slapped it towards Zen, and Zen saw that the monster's claws were extremely sharp, like sharp blades. Zen was defenseless and didn't dare to touch it, so he rolled the quilt with one foot, he shrank slightly, the mandrill only grabbed the quilt, the quilt fell into the mandrill's hand, only to hear the sound of '......', the quilt was divided in half. grabbed a good quilt and turned it into a strip of rotten cloth.

When the mandrill only caught the quilt and didn't catch anyone, he was very angry, jumped up and stretched out his paws, and Zen hurriedly took two or three steps away from the side diagonally, and moved around the room to dodge. The mandrill grabbed an air, only on the wall, and suddenly the rubble flew everywhere it clawed.

Zen stretched out his hand and hit a peach wood cone, the wood heart of the hundred-year-old peach wood, the four peach wood cones that were practiced, the peach, the essence of the five woods, so the suppression of the evil spirit is also to be able to hurt the ghosts.

Peach wood can avoid evil and hurt ghosts, it is said that because the ancient god Yi is famous for his good shooting, he learned the art of apprenticeship, and after learning it, he will take revenge and poison him from behind the teacher, and his teacher raised the peach wood stick to smash the back of Yi's head. After Yi's death, he became the official who commanded all ghosts, and he was afraid of peaches.

However, there is a mountain called Taodu Mountain among the ghosts in Xudu, and there is a big peach tree covering 3,000 miles on the mountain, which is a spiritual root that suppresses the ghosts, and the condensation of the ghosts' masculinity. There is a golden rooster on the treetops, and whenever the golden rooster crows in the early morning, as the order of the ghosts, the ghosts who wander out at night will drive back to the ghost domain to avoid the ghosts from leaving behind in the world. The gate of the ghost domain is located in the northeast of the peach tree, and there are two gods standing by the door, named Shen Tu and Yu Lei. The gods are generally located on the left door, dressed in colorful battle armor, with a majestic face, a divine posture, and a golden war sword in his hand, while Yu Lei is located on the right door, wearing a black battle robe, his expression looks leisurely, and there are no magic weapons or sharp weapons in his hands, but he just sticks out a palm and caresses the huge golden-eyed white tiger sitting beside him. If the ghost did something unreasonable during the night, Shen Tu and Yu Lei would immediately find out and catch it, tie it up with a rope made of mango reeds, and send it to feed the tiger. Therefore, the ghosts of the world are afraid of the gods and gloom. Peach wood is also known as "ghost horror wood", which is a tree that ghosts fear, so the saying of warding off evil spirits comes from this.

But no matter what, the peach wood contains the pure yang of heaven and earth, this is the nemesis of the Xuanyin ghosts, the older it is, the more powerful it is, if the peach wood in the hand of Zen is a thousand-year-old peach wood, the mandrill will also turn into ash under a blow.

At this time, the mandrill was injured by the peach cone, but he couldn't help it, so he left angrily.

In the end, this mandrill is also a period of refining qi, and the cultivation is not under Zen, and Zen can't subdue it, so I am afraid that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, and I dare not force it to stay, so I let it go.

At this time, Zen opened the door and lit the fire to take a look, and saw that the claw marks on the door of the main hall were like dustpans, and the doors were penetrated where the five fingers were caught, and the two doors became broken.

The mandrill retreated, and Zen returned to the main hall, this night was always vigilant, not daring to relax in the slightest, lest the mandrill come back again, really tired.
