After several days of surveying the mountain, nothing came of it, and the fog once again covered the entire Luoya Mountain, but it was strange to me that there was no sign of earth beasts in this big mountain, which is known as the sacred mountain. This made me very strange, although there were some strange rumors among the villagers from time to time, such as seeing a large snake with a human body, or seeing a glowing butterfly floating in the mountains and forests, but I did not see any of them, and not even Luo Qiong smelled any earth beasts.

The mountain seems to be completely clean!

The contradiction between Tiegu and Luo Qiong has been put on the table, which is not conducive to the exploration of the mountain later. The top priority at the moment is to eliminate infighting and resolve the contradiction between Tiegu and Luo Qiong.

At night, Iron Bone sat by the door to eat, since the last time he fought with Luo Qiong and exposed some of the secrets of his body, the villagers were very scared when they saw him and Luo Qiong, especially him, who is not afraid of such a thing as insects growing on his hands?

"What do you want to say?"

Iron didn't look up, but seemed to know it was me, and asked.

I walked over and sat down next to him, and the iron skeleton moved to the side as if instinctively, as if unwilling to sit with me. Or maybe they don't want to be approached.

"I heard you fought in Vietnam?"

I asked as I lit a cigarette.

"Don't you know?"

His attitude was relatively cold, but I didn't care, smiled and said, "I also heard that you are very disgusted with anyone or anything related to demons, right?" ”

He didn't say anything, which was tantamount to acquiescence.

"Can you talk about it, why are you so disgusted with demons? In my opinion, although many demons are hostile, there are also good demons, and there are always two sides to things, so you can't generalize, let's talk ...... it."

Before I finished speaking, he stood up suddenly, stared at me and said, "If you don't understand, don't be scared, what is a good demon?" A demon is a demon, and it should be killed. Don't think that just a few words from you can make me reconcile with that demon cultivator, if it weren't for the pressure of the leader above, I would have done it with you! ”

After saying that, he strode away, I took a closed door and shrugged helplessly, but the black bull behind him came over with a smile and said, "Xiaoshan, this person is a little weird, but he is not a bad person." Although Team Leader Lai's subordinates are all temperamental people, they are not bad-hearted. The really bad guys have been kicked out a long time ago. ”

"Brother Black Bull, you have a good relationship with Iron Bone, why does he hate monsters so much?"

I asked curiously.

"Hehe, you can be regarded as asking the right person about this, come and give me a cigarette, let's talk about it." When I heard this, I immediately sent a cigarette, and after lighting it, he muttered for a moment and said, "Iron Bone and I only worked together three years ago, and then because we have been working together for a long time, we can be considered brothers." I had a drink with him one night, and this grandson was not very good at drinking, and he was talking nonsense when he drank too much. I asked him why he was the way he was, and he drank a few more glasses and said that at that time, they were scattered in the dense forest and were looking for a large army. As a result, they heard someone shouting for help at night, and the three of them thought that someone might be in distress, and when they followed the sound to find it, they found that it was a child who was shouting for help, and he was falling into the river. The two fighters went into the water to save people, but they didn't expect that it was not a child who fell into the water, but a water monkey! ”

There are two theories about the so-called water monkeys, one is known to ordinary people, the child drowned in the river and turned into a ghost, and specially pulled people into the water to drown. The other is mentioned in "Strange Tales of the Mountains", a kind of flesh-sucking demon, this medicine is similar to a human in appearance but has a monkey's face, and can imitate human speech. Squatting in the deeper water of the lake, it has a lot of strength when it is in the water. Imitate human cries to attract people to approach, and if a good Samaritan thinks it is drowning and goes into the water to save it, it will be harmed by it. I guess the two comrades of Iron Bone encountered the second type of water monkey.

Because according to the speculation in "Strange Tales of the Mountains", China originally did not have this kind of evil demon that could imitate human speech, and it may have been introduced from outside, and it should have been introduced to China from Vietnam or Thailand.

"And then?"

I then asked.

"Being pulled into the water by the water monkey, or two warriors who can't spell, you can imagine the result. Iron Bone watched his two comrades-in-arms being eaten by the water monkeys, and he fled in a panic. So I guess it might have something to do with his hatred of youkai so much. ”

"Then why did he become the way he is? How can you keep bugs in your body? ”

I steer the conversation to the other side.

Hei Niu shook his head and said: "He refuses to say anything about this, but everyone who mixes in the road has a little secret, and it is normal for Iron Bone to refuse to say it." ”

"Oh, okay, thank you Brother Black."

I smiled and said, I was about to ramble a few words, but I didn't think that Luo Qiong hurriedly ran over and said, "That little demon, open your mouth!" ”

I stood up from the chair all of a sudden, this little demon has been handed over to Shen Mengtian to take care of for a while, as the only clue at present, I wish this little demon had spoken earlier, and now I have finally waited for this opportunity!

In the room where the little demon was locked, Shen Mengtian and Hua Niu were there, and when I walked in, I saw that the little demon was hiding back in fear, and a pair of rough hands were holding Shen Mengtian's arm, looking like he already believed in Shen Mengtian.

"Spoken?"

I asked hurriedly.

"Well, it's willing to take us into the mountains, but hopefully it won't hurt it."

Shen Mengtian said.

"It's natural, and we won't be embarrassed by it if it helps us, but how can we prove that this little demon is not playing tricks? What if it tricks us into the mountains and then lures us into a trap? ”

I still have reservations and don't trust it right away.

"This kid won't, come, little demon, talk to your big brother."

She dragged the little demon, but I was a little surprised and asked, "Will it say our words?" ”

What I said earlier meant was that the little demon was willing to help us, but what I didn't expect was that it would be able to speak. It was mentioned in "Mountain Monster Talk" that there are only two types of monsters who can speak human words, one is the demon who has cultivated the Tao and has the ability to transform into a human, for example, for example, Wong Tai Sin is a weasel when he becomes a refined person, and when he becomes a human, if he is bumped into by someone, he will ask the other party in human language if he is like a human, and the other party's answer will determine whether Wong Tai Sin will reward or punish him. This second type has something to do with congenital.,Some demon clans are born with higher intelligence.,That is, the talent is relatively high.,This kind of demon clan learns human language very quickly.,Some demons look like animals, but they're actually smarter than many normal people.,The learning ability is also very strong.。

I haven't figured out the details of this little guy in front of me, but being able to talk means that I can communicate normally, which is always good.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, tell me what's going on in Luoye Mountain?"

I crouched down, kept myself in eye contact with it, and asked.

Its eyes twinkled a little, and it whispered slowly, "My family...... In the mountains...... There are so many compatriots ......"

"Are the compatriots you are talking about a demon from your clan?"

I then asked.

"No...... There are other compatriots...... Big Tiger ...... Orochi ......"

This is not good news, that is to say, Luoye Mountain is not as safe as the guide said, on the contrary, these demon clans or earth beasts may be hiding in the mountains, but they don't show their heads, if we rush in, we may break into the territory of several demon clans, and the degree of danger at that time is naturally needless to say.

"Then do you know Genkai?"

I asked about the main point.

"Know...... It's beautiful...... It's big...... We drink water in Genkai...... And Uncle Long is also ......"

The last words of its mouth startled us all, and I leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "What kind of Uncle Long you said flew in the sky?" And then the kind of dragon that swallows clouds and spits mist? ”

"Uncle Long...... Can't fly...... But there are horns on the head...... They all said it wasn't in good shape...... Can't fly. ”

I'm a good girl, this time the matter has gone up several levels at once, this is not just to save people, if there is really a dragon in the Xuanhai, it will be a big event that will cause a sensation in the whole circle!
