Chapter 92 Shankui
As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure, and without Liu Mazi, an old horse, to follow all the way, I am afraid that few will survive. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ . He is old and knowledgeable, and everyone is convinced when he speaks. The crowd got on their horses and rushed into the dark mountains with their mortal wounds.
Since this realm is called Monk Ditch, it is related to monks. It is said that more than 100 years ago, there was a wandering monk who passed by here, and he said that this mountain is called "Hades" in Feng Shui, and that Hadeskou must be to eat people, which is unlucky. Later, the old monk built a small temple in the mountains, and the small temple just blocked the fierce momentum of the mouth of the king of Hades.
After the caravan entered the mountain, they crossed a forest, crossed a river, and finally saw the legendary ancient temple on the steep and steep mountainside. This temple is not exquisite, there is no legendary 'color' color of the Gami Yellow Temple, and the inside is even more deserted, the rubble is incomplete, and it is full of cobwebs.
"Xiao Zheng, do you recognize the hemostatic grass? Go and find some for your third brother Chang. "Settle everything, Liu Mazi instructed his subordinates.
People like them who go south and north don't look at it without much culture, but they have a strong ability to survive in the wild, throw them into the big ravines, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, and they will not starve to death for the rest of their lives. There are so many good things that grow in the mountains that they all recognize them.
Chang Laosan was seriously injured, got off the horse, the tense nerves relaxed slightly, and immediately fell asleep, this blood was not less, his face was pale, his body was hot, and everyone couldn't scream when they were eating. If Xiao Zheng can't find the hemostatic grass, it is estimated that he will never have to open his eyes again after falling asleep.
"You three don't have to worry about him, why do you have to fill your stomach? Otherwise, how can Ming'er have the strength to hurry? What if the bandits catch up again at night? Life and death have a destiny and wealth in the sky, even if there is really a three long and two short, it is his own life! Liu Mazi said to the three brothers of the Chang family.
The night in the mountains is bleak and cold, except for the bonfires lit in the ancient temples, and the black ones between the mountains are not visible to the five fingers. From time to time, there was a strange call of cuckoos. Now people have never seen a cuckoo, and they all think that this little thing is good because of its good call, but in fact, people in the mountains know that wherever they go, as long as they hear the cuckoo's call, there must be dead people or graveyards nearby.
"Don't ...... Don't look for me...... I'm not going with you!! Don't drag me...... "Next to the fire, Chang Lao Sanmeng kept 'groaning', as if he was having a nightmare.
"Big cabinet, Master Liu, it's been more than an hour, why hasn't Xiao Zheng come back yet?" Boss Chang asked his younger brother while wiping his face.
"Yes, it stands to reason that this mountain is full of 'medicine' herbs, Xiao Zheng should recognize it? Why haven't you come back yet? "Liu Mazi stood at the entrance of the ancient temple 'gate' and looked down the mountain, but the mountain was a mess, and he couldn't even see a figure.
Ma Chengfeng called Shangyun Qiang and told them to take care of the goods, and I will go out to find that kid.
The two of them held torches and didn't bring guns, and followed the route that Xiao Zheng came out of just now.
Most of the wild ravines in the north are pine trees, and the soles of the feet are full of soft pine needles and fallen leaves. These fallen leaves are covered with soil and play a certain role in keeping warm, and many low vegetation are parasitic under the fallen leaves, and no matter how cold it is in winter, it will not freeze to death.
The two of them walked along the mountain ridge all the way, and after walking for half an hour, they saw a low bush in front of them, and I don't know what kind of plant it was, but in the early 'spring' the branches were full of red fruits, the red fruits were as big as fingernails, and there was 'dew' water at night, and they looked crystal clear and very beautiful hanging on the red fruits.
"Cheng Feng, you see?" Yun Qiang pointed to the bushes and said.
I saw that there were many white bones scattered everywhere on the ground near the bushes, almost all of them were wild beasts in the mountains.
The two looked at each other and didn't know why, why did these animals die under the bushes, could there be something wrong with these fruits?
At this moment, there was a strange sound from behind the bushes, and the movement clicked, as if some animal was gnawing bones with its sharp teeth, and the listener straightened up 'chicken' bumps.
"Xiao Zheng? Are you there? Ma Chengfeng shouted.
At this shout, there was no movement behind the bushes. Yun Qiang clenched his fists and said, I'll go see what's going on.
"Don't go, maybe it's a blind bear in the mountains?" Ma Chengfeng grabbed him, bent down and picked up a small pebble from the ground, took aim, and threw it out.
He is now playing more and more slippery kung fu, almost referring to where to hit and where to shoot without missing a shot. After the pebble flew into the bushes, only a piercing scream was heard, and then a pair of 'yin' cold eyes 'emerged' from behind the bushes.
"Made, who is sneaky? Come out! Yun Qiang shouted.
Whoa...... Whoa...... The bushes rustled as the guy touched them, and a big 'hairy' guy stepped out of it. It turned out to be a monkey, not small, looking about the size of the African gorilla on TV, but it was noticeably thinner than the gorilla, and it had slender arms that allowed it to walk upright. The whole body is covered with white 'hair' except for the face.
The strangest thing is its face, this guy's facial features are very similar to people, even the expression when he is angry is exactly the same, he covered his head, came out of the bushes and bared his teeth at Ma Chengfeng and grinned, as if asking who hit it just now.
"I'm ...... This...... What is this for? Yun Qiang didn't look bold, but the first time he saw this strange creature, it was difficult to accept it for a while, and he was so frightened that he took two steps back and didn't dare to rush up.
This guy is tall and thin, almost catching up with Yun Qiang, with a short upper body, two big long 'legs', two arms hanging straight down to the knees, and a pair of big hands with sharp nails at the front. Drops of blood trickled down its sharp nails. It wiped its mouth, and the corners of its mouth were covered in blood.
Although Ma Chengfeng has never seen this kind of monster, he vaguely remembers that in "The Book of Thieves", the second half of the chapter introduces the strange things that Dong Sanli walked in Xing'an Mountains when he was young, which describes a creature that has only appeared in legends, Shankui!
In ancient times, people were 'superstitious' beliefs, there was land in the plains, there were mountain gods in the mountains, and there were mountain temples in some remote mountainous areas, and the temple was dedicated to a big monkey, which was actually the legendary mountain kui. The mountain is so powerful that it can single out the blind tiger and the bear, and it has almost disappeared in recent years.
"Beware, it seems to be Shankui!" Ma Chengfeng and Yun Qiang were holding torches in their hands, and the monster looked like a human, but after all, it was also an animal, afraid of fire, and did not dare to approach. But it was clear that it was very interested in the two men.
Ma Chengfeng noticed that there seemed to be a bloody strip of rag hanging on the mannail of this guy's left finger, and he vaguely guessed something in his heart.
