Chapter 23 Passing by the Yin Ghost
Because the tent was very low, I gave up the idea of meditation and closed the curtain of the tent and turned over to rest.
The rain in the jungle always comes unexpectedly, since today after entering this vast forest, it has rained four times in the afternoon, I can't sleep for a while, and another heavy rain is pouring down, I am worried about Yin An on the tree, and I am busy sticking my head out of the tent to look at Yin An on the tree, only to see the black sleeping bag wrapped around him like a long silkworm chrysalis Yin An wrapped tightly, I asked Yin An if it is good, hurry up and squeeze it in the tent.
But seeing a small slit under the black sleeping bag like a silkworm chrysalis, Yin An showed his head down and said to me, don't worry, sister, we all sleep like this, this sleeping bag is warm inside, the rain can't come in at all, you don't know, this outside is full of bird feathers and real duck down.
Listening to this, I can't help but admire the craftsmanship of these shamans, who are not only entomologists in a way, but also professors of herbology and biological applications, and even worse, astrological and yin-yang masters, and at the moment, they are still outstanding craftsmen. To be honest, being a witch master is not an easy task.
In the deep mountains and old forests after the rain, due to the temperature difference between day and night and humidity, a faint layer of mist rose after a while, and in such a reckless jungle, due to the fog, the visibility became only a few tens of meters.
The mountains were quiet, and soon after I lay down again, I slowly fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, I was woken up by an alarm rope reserved outside the sleeping bag, I turned over and opened the sleeping bag alertly, only to see that Yin An had come down from the tree and squatted outside the door curtain of the sleeping bag waiting for me to come out, seeing that I stretched out my head, he quietly leaned into my ear and whispered to me: "Sister, there is a situation!" and made a boo movement.
Knowing what he meant, I gently got out of the sleeping bag and tiptoed over with Yin An's cat waist to the left.
There is a creek about 100 meters to the left of our camping tent, where we get water in the evening, and there are trees on both sides of the stream, but we can follow the stream along the side of the creek, and during the day, we follow this stream.
At this time, following Yin An, we quietly walked to a big tree about forty meters away from the creek and hidden, Yin An pointed to the other side and gestured with me, obviously there was something unknown approaching this side from that side.
The rainy jungle is very cold at night, coupled with the mist that permeates the mountains, the shadows between the trees are full of shadows, and it suddenly looks a little weird, at this time Yin An found an abnormal situation, which made me quite nervous, it stands to reason that if it is an ordinary beast, insect and snake, Yin An will not be so vigilant.
Under our gaze, from the faint mist in the distance, some figures appeared, and at the same time, we also heard a slight sigh, this sigh is desolate, desperate, in such an empty mountain range, I can't help but be creepy.
Seeing this situation, Yin An hurriedly handed me a strange dark green flower and plant, and asked me to take this seemingly strange grass in his mouth according to his appearance, although I don't know why, but I still do it like Yin An.
These figures finally approached from the mist in the distance, accompanied by more and more obvious sighs, at this time, there were several rough shouts from it, and if you listened carefully, someone was shouting: "You bastards, hurry up and give grandpa and me to hurry, whoever grinds again, I will eat it now!"
It sounds like a group of people are on their way. While I was guessing in disbelief, the group of people finally came to the brook in front of me, and by a little moonlight, I finally saw the group.
The problem is, I can't see the feet of these passers-by! They all have their heads hanging down, and they are all dressed in gray, and although they have different styles, they are all gray in color.
Under the lowered heads, because the faces are facing the ground, only a black face can be vaguely seen, no eyebrows and eyes, judging from the figure, there are old men with rickets on their backs, there are middle-aged men, and even underage children who look thin, I don't know what sad things they have, and from time to time there are heavy sighs from them.
Had it not been for their sighs, the group would have walked silently as if they were drifting by, yes, and there would be no feet to be seen under the trouser legs of each of them. I turned my head to look at Yin An, wanting to get confirmation from him, and seemed to see my doubt, Yin An nodded to me, it seems that this is really a team of yin ghosts.
Oh my God, how can there be a team of yin ghosts in the middle of such a wild mountain range? My scalp is a little numb.
On the left and right sides of this group of ghosts, a tall black shadow followed behind, and one of them was shouting at the team: "What are you doing sighing, it's annoying me, listen, if anyone sighs again, I'll hook out someone's tongue! Damn, these ghosts, I'm mad at me!" It seems that these two black figures who look different from the other ghosts are escorting this team of ghosts on their way.
Hearing the black shadow's drinking, a group of yin ghosts really remained silent immediately, and the previous long sigh turned into silence for a while, and just like that, this group of yin ghosts walked all the way along the stream, and quickly disappeared into the mist in the distance.
Where are this team of yin ghosts going, and in addition, what are the characters of those two tall black shadows, and how did they appear here, just when countless speculations appeared in his mind, Yin An suddenly looked around strangely, looking at his expression, it seemed that he had found a very strange thing, seeing this, I couldn't help but pull the corner of his clothes, wondering what he found again.
"Sister Lin, Mr. Lei seems to be around here, and my worm Gu smelled him. Yin An leaned into my ear and whispered.
"Ahh How could it be such a coincidence?" I thought to myself. Just when I felt strange in my heart, Yin An pulled me again and motioned for me to continue looking in the direction where the yin ghost came just now, and sure enough, a strange figure vaguely appeared from that direction!
This time it was a living person. Yes, at least he still has feet.
He is a fat man, with a big waist and a round waist, five big and three thick, more than one meter and eight meters tall, if he continues to develop over time, he will have the potential to become a sumo wrestler, and what does not match his body is that he seems to be quite agile in his movements, and he walks by the stream with great dexterity, and it seems that he is following the group of Yin Oni in Fang Cai, and he is going straight forward in the direction of Yin Oni.
"Sister Lin, something is wrong, why has my worm Gu been following this fat man, it seems that this fat man has the smell that was left on Mr. Lei before. Yin An whispered to me a little strangely.
"Ah, but, this size! Old Lei is a thinner man. "Could it be that the insect Gu's sense of smell or the target has been deviated, I am a little skeptical of Yin An's judgment, but why would the insect Gu be wrong, I thought for a while and said to Yin An: "Otherwise, let's follow quietly first, and wait to see the situation." Can you remember the location here, our parcel tent was left here first. ”
"No problem, Sister Lin. After getting Yin An's reply, he and I followed the big fat man who appeared later and quietly followed along the stream.
In the heavier and heavier mist, we did not dare to make too much noise, only to follow cautiously far behind, fortunately there were no thorns and obstacles by the stream, as long as we were careful of the pebbles under our feet, we would not make too much noise.
Following so softly and lightly for a while, Yin An looked up at the starry sky at night from time to time in front of me, and seemed to see something famous, he turned around and whispered in my ear again: "Sister, it's strange, the direction we are following is exactly the direction pointed by the tail basket in the Eastern Canglong Astrology, it won't be so coincidental, do they also have to go to the jungle outside the Great Array?"
Hearing Yin An say this, all kinds of mysteries are more entangled and complicated, what is the mystery inside and outside the Great Array, why is there even a team of Yin Ghosts heading there? It seems that no matter what, we can only continue to follow up and find out, I hope we don't get discovered by those zombies.
With puzzlement, Yin An and I followed all the way, in order not to alarm the yin ghost in front of us and the mysterious fat man we followed, Yin An and I always kept a distance of at least nearly 100 meters from the fat man in front of us under the leadership of the worm Gu.
The water mist at night is already very heavy, the visibility is almost to the point of only seeing a radius of ten meters around the body, and the trees and weeds on the side are more dense, if it is not for the fact that there is still some room to walk on both sides of the creek under your feet, the dense branches on both sides are already like a jungle wooden wall thick in the jungle.
Rao is like this, we are also blocked by the branches and branches that grow horizontally, and the legs scraped by the dense thorns under our feet hurt, and we dare not wave the wooden staff to open the way happily, and we have to step on the stream from time to time, which can be said to be really in the wilderness, trapped in the forest.
I really want to ask Yin An if they had walked such a "unique" road with the white peacock last time, and later I learned that maybe all roads lead to Rome, and the road they took a few years ago was Yangguan Avenue, unlike us who are struggling on a single-plank bridge.
In this predicament, I was sweating profusely after walking for a while, but I didn't expect to follow it all the way for more than three hours! I looked at my watch, and for some reason, it stopped. Roughly judged, it should be dawn after walking for a while, the stream under the feet has long been gone, and there is still a dense forest around the body, and after following Yin An's cat waist through a forest, the trees in front of him suddenly thinned, and after climbing a small slope, a huge sinkhole hidden in the mist appeared in front of us!
