In the night of the old forest, there is no concept of time, so busy, just quiet for a while, a clear moon has already hung in the sky.

The meat was still simmering, Lao Zhang said that the roe deer meat was so tough that it had to be stewed for a while with soup and water, and when he spoke, he cleaned up the 'water', found a few dead branches, put those 'water' on it, and stood next to the fire.

I didn't understand what I was doing, so I asked Lao Zhang: "If you don't eat these in the water, just throw them away, what are you doing standing next to them?" ”

"Respect the god of the mountain, if you hit a bigger prey, you can't eat alone, these internal organs or something, you have to worship the god of the mountain, with a heart of gratitude, you respect the god of the mountain, and the god of the mountain has to protect us." Lao Zhang's answer was simple.

However, is there really a mountain god to eat? I muttered in my heart, but I wouldn't say much about other people's beliefs.

After drinking two cups of hot water, the roe deer meat was finally stewed, even the soup with water was served in the lunch box, and the roe deer meat was chewed with great toughness, there was no fishy smell, the shredded meat was slightly thicker than the ordinary meat, and the soup and water were eaten, which was extremely delicious, so that many years later, I recalled this stewed roe deer meat, and felt that this was almost one of the most delicious meats I have ever tasted.

After dinner, cleaned up, by Lao Zhang first to watch the night, the three of us went to the tent to rest, after all, when we go out, we can't pay so much attention, such as snow and we are crowded in a tent, the heart is quiet, in fact, you don't have to care about the form.

I was very tired from traveling during the day, and I thought that I would fall into a deep sleep soon as usual, but I didn't know if I had something on my mind, tossing and turning, but I slept lightly for a while, and I couldn't sleep anymore, and I looked at the time, and I only slept for less than two hours.

Ruxue slept sweetly on the inside of the tent, Brother Chengxin had a book on his face, and he had already made a slight snoring sound, and it was quiet in the soul nourishing jar, it is estimated that Wu Lao Ghost was also resting, I didn't want to disturb them, since I couldn't sleep, I simply walked out of the tent.

Outside the tent, Lao Zhang was still guarding the fire, holding a dry tobacco pole in one hand and a bag of wine in the other, he was very responsible, did not take a nap, and was very energetic to guard the surroundings, occasionally taking a sip of wine, or taking a puff of dry tobacco.

Seeing me come out, Lao Zhang was not surprised, smiled at me, I also smiled, sat down on the stone next to Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang handed me the dry tobacco stick, and said: "It's cold at night, smoke?" ”

I didn't refuse, so I took a sip, but I smoked so hard that I coughed several times, just like when Master teased me and asked me to smoke dry tobacco, I still couldn't smoke.

Lao Zhang didn't mind, just laughed and handed me the wine bag, I took a big sip, warmed up, guarded the fire, but I didn't think it was cold outside.

In the cold night, I chatted with Lao Zhang casually, but I didn't want Wu Lao Ghost to float out soon after, it was like this, I couldn't listen to others chatting, and when I heard it, I couldn't help but come to join in the fun.

When there is Wu Lao Ghost, he is always not lonely, it can blow too much, and it makes me and Lao Zhang laugh all the time, and it is easy to pass the time.

Before I knew it, an hour passed, and my sleepiness rose slightly, and when I looked at the time, it was almost an hour before my vigil, and I just wanted to say that I was going to sleep for a while, but I didn't know why, and suddenly I had goosebumps on my body.

This is definitely what my spiritual sense has sensed, I know this feeling too well, I can't help but start looking around, only to find that all eyes are dark and dreary old forests, where is there any abnormality? Looking back, Wu Lao Ghost's face was not right, or he was afraid of startling Lao Zhang, Wu Lao Ghost quietly gestured to me, meaning that something was wrong over there, that way.

Only then did I remember, if it was about the ability of spiritual premonition, Old Ghost Wu was stronger than me, could the wrong thing come from there? I just got goosebumps, but I didn't feel any danger, so I didn't know how to make a sound, and while talking nonsense with Lao Zhang intentionally or unintentionally, I paid attention to that side with my eyes.

There were no footsteps, no warning, I kept paying attention to me over there, and suddenly I saw a figure walking out of the forest over there, wearing a big red robe, and the figure couldn't be clearer.

The camp that Lao Zhang chose for us was on a leeward hillside, sparsely sparsely with a few trees, and every move below could be seen clearly, I looked at the figure quietly, but the figure never looked at me, just walked step by step, and it was walking towards us.

I deliberately shouted Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang glanced at me, with his eyesight, such a close distance, coupled with the conspicuous red robe, how could he see the figure below, but he was stunned and didn't react, but asked me: "What's the matter?" ”

I didn't have anything to say, "Walking that way is the deep forest, right?" Just wanted to ask. ”

"Uh-huh." Lao Zhang answered, or was a little sleepy, plus I was outside, he relaxed, and after answering a sentence, he took a nap by the fire with some squints.

I understand what's going on, that figure is definitely not a person, I have cultivated for so many years, and my spiritual premonition is much stronger than that of ordinary people, even if I don't open the eyes of heaven, if that spirit is strong enough, it can affect me and let me 'see' it.

As for the old ghost Wu, not to mention, it is a ghost itself, how can it not be seen?

It's just that I didn't feel hostility, taking advantage of Lao Zhang's sudden nap, I signaled to Wu Lao Ghost not to be impatient, but I was funny to find that Wu Lao Ghost had already been hiding behind me and shivering, this guy, he is a ghost himself, what are you afraid of?

I didn't bother to pay attention to Old Ghost Wu, I took the wine bag from Lao Zhang's hand, drank it one by one, and lit a cigarette for myself by the way, which can be regarded as a kind of relaxation, and then just watched the red-robed figure walk in step by step.

It's just that the more it walks in, the more I feel that something is wrong, because I can't see its face clearly in the night, but I can clearly see that it is wearing an official robe, I don't study history well, I can't recognize which dynasty's official robe it should be, how many official robes it is, what does it represent, and I am still secretly guessing in my heart, could it be an obsessive ghost who still wants to be an official when he dies?

But the next moment, when it was less than ten meters away from me, it just raised its face, and I was completely shocked, what is that?! Indigo's face, two big fangs, fiery red hair, and a bit of a funny official hat are unusually hideous!

But because the lines on its face are unusually hard, it shows a bit of honesty, and it is not so scary when you look closely.

But in any case, it was definitely something outside of my cognition, and I took a deep breath, barely calming myself down, and didn't do anything hostile, just because I trusted my own spiritual sense, I really didn't feel its hostility.

Old Ghost Wu was already shaking, seeing that the voice was less than 5 meters away from us, it whispered in a trembling voice: "I haven't seen any official robes like this!" ”

I just reacted, speaking of Wu Lao Ghost is an ancient, its knowledge of these must be deeper than mine, I just remembered to take a closer look at its official robe, but found that the figure had already walked to us, and did not come, just squatted in the place where Lao Zhang supported the 'water', grabbed a 'phantom' with one hand, and began to eat and chew, eating to see the bottom of the heart tremble.

The internal organs contain the essence of the five elements, and if you want to say that the yang energy of living beings is of course hidden in the internal organs, otherwise the yang energy will leak out, so what will it be? Unless it is a person with heavy yang energy, the natural leakage has the effect of repelling evil spirits.

I understand too well, what the figure caught out was actually a mass of yang energy and essence that had not been dissipated in the internal organs, but I didn't know what kind of bad taste it was, so I had to turn into this bloody eating appearance, take a sip, and suck it away.

But at this moment, my heart is also completely relaxed, I understand what this figure is, look at it eating Lao Zhang's tribute, look at the official robe it wears, with a mountain pattern printed in the middle, I know, this guy is the mountain god in Lao Zhang's mouth!

It's that I was confused just now, I didn't think about this stubble at all, think about it, those mountain gods in the Buddhist temple, who is not like this? In the Taoist temple, you have to worship the god of the mountain, and most of those mountain gods are like this, and they look vicious!

People often can't tell the difference between the land and the mountain god, thinking that the short white-bearded old man is also a mountain guard, and that's a mistake!

I didn't expect that I could see a 'little god', so I couldn't react in my head for a while, I couldn't feel how strong it was, in terms of strength, compared to the strongest enemy I have ever met, the little ghost, much worse, but people do have a 'god position', and I should respect it.

At that moment, I stood up and performed a Taoist gift, and so did Wu Lao Ghost, and when the mountain god saw it, there was finally a hint of friendship in his eyes, but he didn't react, he still munched on it.

I picked up the wine bag and said, "Since you're here, there's no one who doesn't serve wine to your guests, so let's have a drink." ”

While talking, I poured some wine on the ground, and Lao Zhang seemed to be more and more sleepy, and he snored while napping.
