Chapter 19: Searching for Demons in the Mountains (Part II)

Entering the back side, the light is not so bright, but you can also see the road clearly, but this deep mountain and old forest, there are bushes everywhere, and you have to be careful where you go, for fear of inadvertently encountering something poisonous on the way, it is important to look for the demon, but if you haven't found the demon, you will put your life into it, it is too undesirable. I looked back and saw that everyone was lined up, and the village chief Niu and the master on the hillside were watching us, and the village chief Niu was the one who gave orders, and from time to time he commanded a few people to pluck the dense bushes.

It may seem like a sightseeing tour, but only a few of us know the difficulty, and it is tantamount to a grueling trip to avoid missing every boundary and to get there as quickly as possible.

It's just that this great search has just begun.

I waved my hand and threw out the whisker whip, and explored the rest of the square circle, and found nothing, so I immediately took back the whisker whip and hurried forward, but soon, a mountain range in front of me attracted my attention, that mountain range was very peculiar, from a distance it looked like a southwest and northeast oblique angle, and when I got closer, it looked like a southeast and northwest oblique angle, but no matter how I looked at it, there was no ray of sunlight behind the mountain, and from time to time a stream of cold air swept out from inside, blowing on my face.

At this time, Niu Wazi pointed to the mountain and said to me: "Brother Ergou, look at that mountain, that is the Yingyue Ridge that the village chief said, the sun can't shine there every day, but once the moon comes out, that place is very bright, and our people here say that the mountain is a place where ghosts can go, and it exists to meet the moonlight, so it is called Yingyue Ridge!" ”

When we walked into the boundary of Yingyue Ridge, everyone's faces were unusually solemn, and I looked up at the tall mountain peaks behind Yingyue Ridge, perhaps it is not difficult to understand that the sunlight is blocked by that peak. It's as evil as they say, but there is no sunlight, the bushes and trees and grass in the sunlit land are all very low, but enough to overflow over our heads, and the general vegetation is low.

But when I got closer, I saw that it was the mountain wind blowing from the mouth of a canyon under this mountain, and it sounded like a ghost scream, but if someone appeared here in the middle of the night and didn't know why, I would be paralyzed by fright!

Not long away, Niu Dan'er turned back to me and asked, "Brother Ergou, do you think that old cow will eat grass after being possessed by a goblin?" ”

I thought about it and said in surprise: "Maybe not, after all, the cow is just a shell, and the inside is occupied by the demon, the demon eats the essence of the person, with the essence as a supplement, the cow will not feel hungry." Niu Dan'er, why are you asking this? ”

Niu Dan'er trembled and pointed to a piece of green grass in front of him, then wiped a handful of sweat and said, "Brother Ergou, look at that place!" ”

I was stunned, and hurried forward, and was immediately startled by what I saw, for I saw the hoof prints of some animal on the grass, but I could not see it clearly when I stepped on it, and I might be able to see it clearly if I stepped on it in the mud. And some of the grass here still seems to have been chewed, isn't it...... Could it be that the cow can still eat after being possessed by sable essence? It's a stump for me now, after all, I don't know much about these things, but it's a pity that Master and Village Chief Niu were watching from the hillside and didn't come down, otherwise I would have been able to ask Master's opinion.

Master couldn't come for the time being, so I had to make up my own mind, and hurriedly waved my hand, signaling the other six people and Niu Dan'er to search forward little by little around these vague marks.

Everyone's faces were very solemn, and they held a powerful killing blade in their hands. I slammed my arm, and with a whistle, the whisker whipped and slipped through a large bush in front of me, and I saw nothing. But at this moment, a middle-aged man in the distance exclaimed excitedly: "I heard movement!" Come with me and surround it! ”

When three or four people on the side heard this, they immediately chased after them with pig-killing knives, and I couldn't stop them, so I couldn't help shouting: "Be careful!" Don't go that far! ”

The people in my eyes had already rushed into a dense bush, and I hurriedly called out to Niu Daner and the three of them chased after them. But before we could arrive, I heard the laughter of those people not far away, and I was stunned, why did I laugh again? Is it so easy to get caught by them? I don't believe it, I saw how powerful that demon is last night, and the master can only force it away with the magic talisman, but cannot directly destroy it, which shows how deep the demon's path is.

Soon, when I saw two villagers carrying a black and squeaking boar with a wooden stick, I realized that they had caught a wild boar......

"That's a big catch! Haha......" One of the villagers said with a smile: "Tonight, the villagers of our Niutun can sit around for dinner, let's eat roast pig!" ”

A few people on the side also laughed, but I was a little dazed, if the old pig fairy saw them carrying this wild boar, I don't know what I would think in my heart, you must know that the old pig fairy was a wild boar in his previous life, and he practiced for hundreds of years before he was reincarnated as a human. However, these villagers will not know the past of the old pig fairy, and if they do, it is estimated that they will not dare to catch this wild boar.

I looked at the two villagers who were carrying the wild boar, and said in astonishment: "Two big brothers, can you still search the mountains with the wild boar?" ”

The two of them immediately patted their chests, and said with a smile: "It's absolutely no problem, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big harvest from entering the mountain this time, it's really good!" Hahaha......"

It seems that this wild boar has given them infinite strength...... I couldn't say anything about them, after all, they wouldn't listen to me, so I had to turn around and continue to touch the three of them with the cow eggs, but since I found a wild boar, it means that the previous hoof prints were left by this wild boar. In this way, we can abandon the clue and move on. This Yingyue Ridge is not big, but it is not small. In particular, the sharp rocks under our feet and the rugged and difficult mountain roads caused us a lot of trouble for the speed of our travel.

It took us nearly two hours to see the hope of going out, but just as we were about to leave the dense and low bushes, suddenly Dawang shouted loudly with a killing blade in front of him: "Brother Ergou!" Hurry! I see that old scalper! ”

This sound didn't matter, it startled everyone, but at this time, the two people who carried the wild boar also stumbled, the stick suddenly broke, and the rope tied to the wild boar was also loosened, only to see the wild boar rampage into the bushes, and then look for it, but there is not even a shadow to see. This momentary change happened almost at the same time, and when the two villagers reacted, they couldn't help but curse in annoyance, and carried the pig for half a day in vain, and finally let the pig run away, this thing is done!

One of them regretted not slaughtering the boar on the spot, so that it could not run away, maybe they wanted to go back to the village and kill the pig again, but this negligence was to let the wild boar live, I smiled secretly, this is good, so that the old pig fairy will not be happy when he sees it, after all, the wild boar is the same kind in his previous life.

But now no one complained about anything, because when they saw the cow, they found the demon, and everyone hurriedly asked Dawang, "Where is it?!" ”

Dawang stood in place in a daze, heard the words, reached out and scratched the back of his head, and said, "I...... I just saw the figure of a scalper, rushed out in a flash, and then disappeared, but I think it was going in the direction of Da Tan Gou! ”

"Da Tan Gou?!" One of the villagers frowned, and then sighed: "Da Tan Gou is a more treacherous place! In addition to a huge pool that has never dried up all year round, there is bottomless silt all around, and the sand and gravel in that place are very scarce, and it is bordering some cultivated land in the northeast corner of Wuling Mountain, which is also on the edge of Wuling Mountain, if people accidentally fall into it, those silt will swallow the whole person in an instant! ”

I thought for a moment and said, "If the mud can swallow a man, can't it swallow the cow too?" If that cow is swallowed, we'll be even more trouble-free! ”

"Yes, yes!" Niu Dan'er smiled approvingly: "In that case, we can directly tie the cow with a rope, and we don't have to worry about it resisting!" ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and immediately prepared to walk out of this Yingyue Ridge and run towards the big pond ditch. But just after walking a few steps, he heard the shouting of the village chief Niu from the hillside in the distance: "Come back quickly!" Go back to the village right now! ”

I, like everyone else, opened my mouth in surprise, I don't understand why Village Chief Niu called us back at this time? Wouldn't it be a pity to go back now, even though I've found the trace of the cow? If you give up this opportunity, you don't know how difficult it will be to find that cow next time. Sure enough, one of the villagers replied loudly: "Village chief! Mr. Yang! We've found the cow! ”

"Then I have to come back! Something happened in the village! The anxious voice of the village chief came again.

"Something happened in the village?" I looked at the crowd, turned around and hurried back, looking up at the sky, and the sun was about to set. Just the trail of the old scalper...... Alas, I sighed and complained, "Obviously, they all said that they had found the traces of the old scalper, but according to Master's character, he shouldn't give up so halfway?" How could Master agree to Village Chief Niu sending us a message and returning to the village now? Could it be that something is worse in the village than the cow?! ”

Thinking of this, Niu Daner and I hurriedly ran ahead.
