Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 72

Mu Stick was a little hairy from Yu Ling'er's laughter, covered his chest with both hands, and asked sharply: "Girl, what are you doing?"

Yuling'er snorted: "Look at you, let me see how you are hurt?"

Mu Zhuer looked down, moved around, and found that there was nothing unusual except for the discomfort just now.He stood up and said, "Fortunately, I'm fine."

Yu Ling'er went over, grabbed the talisman paper attached to the wooden stick's chest, and tore it off: "This talisman paper saved you, otherwise the lipstick mist would be enough for you."

Master looked at my hands and saw that the red frost was fading away, so he was relieved.

I was rather puzzled and asked, "Master, why do you have to catch him? Do you know him?"

Master nodded: "Of course I recognize him, he is Xiaosan."

"What?" Master's words surprised me, "He...is Xiaosan?"

Master said: "Although his appearance has changed, I have lived with him for so many years. I can tell from his body shape and facial contours that he is Xiaosan. However, I don't understand why he appeared alone. Here. And he didn’t answer, it’s not in line with common sense. And from the way of his hand, it seems that he is not from our Xuanming, what’s going on here?”

Seeing that everyone had gathered around, Master led us to the front of the mountain temple.He beckoned Wei Meng: "Mengzi, split that confession."

Wei Meng replied, "Okay." He walked over with the knife in hand, and he hugged the pig's head and tried to move it to the side.After hugging it, I found that the pig's head became very light, so I picked it up without any effort.When we took a closer look, we found that the flesh and blood in the pig's head had been sucked out, leaving only a piece of skin.

The master thought for a while, pointed to the confession, and shouted: "Chop."

Wei Meng raised the saber in his hand, and the saber struck right in the middle of the confession.Only a muffled sound was heard, and the confession was separated into two halves.

Everyone has always been curious about this confession, and now that it has been opened, they all look at it with wide eyes.What is certain at present is that this confession was originally a tree stump, and this tree stump must be hollow.

Just when the stump was split open with a knife, a giant moth suddenly flew out from inside.This giant moth is blood red all over and is about the size of a basketball.The moth was also full of coldness, and flew into the air, circling left and right, as if unwilling to leave.

Holding the knife, Wei Meng slashed at the void a few times, and the moth flew away with a puff.

We focused our eyes on the split tree stump again, and saw that the tree stump was indeed hollow. Where the moth stayed, there was an oval space covered with a layer of red frost. Fading away, we saw an egg appear in the space of the tree stump, the size of a pigeon egg, crystal clear, emitting red light from time to time.

My eyes lit up, and I said happily, "Is this a treasure? It's placed in such a secret place, and it has a red light. It must be worth a lot of money."

Master spat at me: "I know the money. I guess it's the moth's egg. I didn't see it hovering and refusing to leave just now. It has been staying in this tree hole, absorbing the rotten air. I guess Xiaosan They also came to gather shade from this moth."

I suddenly remembered what the old village chief once said, and I said to the master: "Master, why do I feel that the child is not necessarily Xiaosan? The old village chief said that he saw a strange child when he was young, but it took decades It happened a while ago, and Xiao San has been here for more than 20 years at most. The time is not right."

Master nodded: "I thought about it too, so let's call that child Xiaosan for the time being." As he spoke, Master picked up the moth's egg casually: "This is really a good thing, but it may not be worth much, but for us It’s still important to say.”

I took the moth eggs from Master's hand, and it felt cold to the touch, and the chill quickly spread all over my body.But the touch is smooth, really like a pearl.

The master said: "This is an extremely yin thing. Before Xiaosan could take away the yin energy, the moth was frightened by us, and a part of the rotten energy remained in the egg. By coincidence, this spermatozoon was formed. Blood egg."

I questioned: "Then what is the function of these blood beads?"

The master replied: "It is very useful. The most basic effect is that we don't need to paste that talisman paper to pretend to be ghosts. As long as we have this thing in hand, the surrounding yang energy will be covered by it, and ordinary ghosts can't find us at all." It's people."

I sighed, "Wow, that's a really cool thing."

Master stretched out his hand to take the blood bead from my hand: "I'd better take it with me, I'm afraid you won't be able to control it."

After the brief battle just now, the temporary calm was restored.The wooden stick asked: "Master Yuan, shall we continue to enter the mountain tonight?" The master looked up at the sky and said, "Forget it, we will rest near this mountain temple today, and we will enter the mountain again tomorrow morning. Pay attention to safety at all times. Light the mosquito repellent in a while, then pick up some firewood, and build a fire."

Everyone worked together to build a fire.Throwing the mosquito repellent into the fire, a strange fragrance came out after a while.

Master said that there are many dangers in the jungle at night, and we have to arrange a shift, and wake everyone up if there is a situation.

I said: "Master, let me come first, you go to rest first."

The master nodded and said, "Okay, when it's midnight, wake me up and I'll take your place."

After the master made arrangements, he leaned against a big tree and began to meditate cross-legged.I don't know whether to adjust breath or sleep.The others also looked for their own places, and the stick climbed to the branch of a nearby tree, saying that it was safer.I snickered and said, "You are safe, don't turn over and fall down in a dream."

Xiaoyue was resting under the tree, but she hurried over after hearing what I said.

Wei Meng and Yu Ling'er gathered around the fire, hugging their knees and resting on their heads.

Ning Xiaoyue rubbed against me and said, "Oh, I'll stay with you on night watch."

I quickly said: "No, just keep one person, two people are also a waste."

Xiaoyue whispered to me mysteriously, "May I ask you something?"

I was very surprised when I heard it: "Ask me, why are you so mysterious?"

Ning Xiaoyue whispered: "Just now, you asked me for toilet paper, but I didn't give it to you. How did you solve it in the end?"

I almost spat blood.I squinted at Xiaoyue: "You care about me?"

Xiaoyue covered her mouth, leaning back and forth with laughter.Finally, I suppressed my laughter and asked me: "Did you not wipe it?" After speaking, I started laughing again.

I pretended to be pointed out by her: "Oh, it's bad, just now I saw Xiaosan passing by, and when I got nervous, I immediately pulled up my pants, that's too bad."

When Xiaoyue heard it, she slammed, walked away from me by two meters, covered her nose with her hands, "Ah? Why are you so disgusting?"

I chuckled: "It's all your fault, you won't even give me a piece of paper."

Xiaoyue snorted: "Don't think that you and Master Yuan teamed up to deceive me. I don't know. I will teach you a lesson."

I smiled and urged Xiaoyue: "Okay, you should go to sleep for a while, you have to hurry tomorrow."

Ning Xiaoyue responded, leaned against a piece of bluestone, and began to rest with her eyes closed.

I glanced at the silent night sky and took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air.I looked at the partners in various sleeping positions beside me, and my mind was full of thoughts.Another tense and busy night, when tomorrow's dawn comes, we have to embark on a journey again, marching towards the unknown territory.What will be waiting for us?

I sat on the ground and kept filling the fire with dry branches, thinking about something.

It was very quiet all around, and I suddenly had another intuition, I felt that a pair of eyes were staring at us in the dark.I looked around suddenly, and there was waist-deep thatch all around, and there were even bushes as tall as a person.Under the cover of the moonlight, with the night wind, it swayed gently, making regular rustling sounds.

I didn't see the eyes in my intuition, and I also wondered if I had become suspicious after experiencing too many things.I lowered my head to make the fire, but my ears listened carefully to everything around me. In the rustling sound, I could clearly hear a person's panting, which was not from our group, but from another place.

I suddenly stood up and grabbed the Japanese sword.I wanted to check around, thought for a while, but didn't dare to move.On the one hand, I dare not act alone, and on the other hand, I am afraid that Master and the others will be in danger after I leave.Just when I listened with my ears sideways again, the panting sound disappeared again.
