It's late at night, the clouds are moving away, and the cold moonlight is drifting across. The fields and mountains outside the town seem to be covered with a layer of silver frost.
On the bank of a small river, the reeds were suddenly blown by the wind, and a mana-laden figure jumped over it, jumped directly over the river, and fell into the grass on the opposite side.
Immediately afterwards, small wooden figures about one foot long fell down.
Dharma Eye!
Chen Yuan pointed across his eyes, and a flash of green light suddenly appeared in his eyes. The strange thing before was nowhere to be found, but with his eyes blessed by magic, he could see a little breath floating in the air.
Flow into the mountains lurking in darkness in the distance.
"Ouch, old madman, slow down!"
As the fat Taoist's voice rang in the night sky, accompanied by a gust of wind, the crazy old man dragged Sun Zhengde from behind. As soon as he landed, the fat Taoist staggered and almost fell. He covered his mouth and rushed to the weeds, "vomit."
’ spit it out.
"Apprentice, what were you chasing just now? But did you find something fun?"
"It's fun, a big round ball."
Chen Yuan looked around, not forgetting to comfort his master. Although madness was sometimes unreliable, he felt at ease when he was by his side.
"Hmm, it's that big!" The fat Taoist came back after vomiting, stretched out his hands and raised them, and made an exaggerated gesture towards the crazy old man. Immediately, he straightened his face: "Master, have you discovered anything?"
"there!"
Following the direction Chen Yuan was looking, under the clear moonlight, you could vaguely see a thatched hut standing on a hill. The crazy old man was aroused by the fat Taoist's gestures, and was about to go there. He just took a step
Chen Yuan grabbed him and shook his head.
"Master, don't panic."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, pointed out the secrets with his middle finger, and drew out a few rays of blue light that fell on the four door god puppets at his feet. The eyes of the four puppets were vivid, and the wooden sculpture with a leopard head and ringed eyes stretched out holding a snake spear.
waist.
"I'm so suffocated that a bird can fade out of the palace!"
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong were silent, standing at Chen Yuan's feet with maces and whips. Only the red-faced and beautiful-bearded wood carving urged the wooden horse to climb a stone and looked at the thatched hut in the distance.
"But let the four Guan people go?"
Chen Yuan raised his hand and said, "Thank you!"
As the words fell, the wooden sculpture of Guan Gong on the stone slanted down with its blue dragon and crescent moon, looked at the thatched hut on the ridge, and rode out. Zhang Fei, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong led nearly forty puppets of different shapes and ran behind them.
Wooden carvings with three-pronged hair, a purple gold crown, and blood-stained purple copper armor are also among them.
Soon, the message came back that the hut was not popular. Chen Yuan then approached it. The hut was in disrepair for a long time, and the roof collapsed with a big hole. The moonlight was pouring down from the hole, illuminating the furnishings inside.
Old tables were lined up against the wall. Chen Yuan's fingertips touched it lightly, and there was a thick layer of dust. Unfortunately, he did not see the jars and various sacrificial objects recorded in the mad man's diary.
'No one has lived there for many years. It seems that it is because the man did not want to be found out and moved elsewhere... But according to what the mad man wrote down, Chang Wei has been away from home for many years but has been nearby. He must have moved, and he can only move.
Go somewhere.'
He looked through the window frame covered with cobwebs and looked at the outline of the mountain standing under the moonlight, like a ferocious beast lurking in the shadow, waiting for him to pass.
"Master, wait for me here."
After saying that, he turned around and left the house. The crazy old man hurriedly followed, thinking about the moon mentioned by his apprentice, "Master, I don't want to stay here with him... Master, I want that big round ball, and we will put it together later."
Catch."
"You all go away... I am afraid of being alone!"
"Then you go ahead." Chen Yuan turned around and said to him.
The fat Taoist was stunned for a moment and pointed at himself: "Why should I go ahead and do anything if I don't know how?"
"You are unlucky and can easily attract evil spirits."
"My boss, what you said... I can't refute for a while."
The three of them were protected by groups of wood carvings as they descended the hill. As they headed towards the mountains further ahead, Chen Yuan had doubts in his mind on the way. If it was really a vicious evil, why didn't the land and the city god care about it?
If the land is not canonized, it does not count, but what about the city god? Is it too far away?
The moonlight gradually covered behind the clouds.
The forest dappled with moonlight gradually turned dark. The rustling footsteps passed through the trees. Following the faint breath of the air, Chen Yuan pinched the magic formula and illuminated the surroundings with the light on her fingertips. She had already arrived.
On this mountainside.
After entering the mountain, I don't know when the water mist started to appear at my feet, making the surrounding area look misty, as if I was walking in a dream.
swish swish...
Something seemed to pass by in the fog, causing the sound of falling leaves. The fat Taoist was so frightened that he followed closely behind the crazy old man, his fat face constantly looking around.
"The most dangerous thing is walking in the back." The crazy old man suddenly said something, which made Sun Zhengde subconsciously look back. He saw that the road he came from was already a vast expanse of white, and the fog was billowing, as if something would come from the next moment.
Emerging from the fog.
"Boss, your master's words are too scary..."
"Then come to the middle."
Chen Yuan moved the light blooming on her fingertips and walked for a while through the layers of white mist. The terrain gradually became wider and she vaguely saw a stone cave hanging on the mountain wall.
Fortunately, it is only seven or eight feet tall.
Chen Yuan jumped up, stepped on the raised mountain wall with his feet, and stepped on a few loose gravels. He had reached the entrance of the cave. The cave was only one person high, and a dark wind blew out from inside.
Woohoo!
The sound of wind blew through the entrance of the cave, bringing with it a cry similar to that of a woman, and the jagged stalactites illuminated by the Dharma light made people shudder.
Chen Yuan looked into the depths of the cave, and the smell of that thing was getting stronger and stronger.
…
As the three people sank into the cave, the full moon outside seemed to be staring directly at them like human eyes, or looking at the other side of the foothills.
In the night, several figures in the distance approached the mountain with magic swords and a man in gray uniforms.
"Senior Brother Feihe, is the monster you are talking about in this mountain?"
Others echoed: "What does that monster look like? How does it behave?"
"Hmph, junior brother, why should I ask the monster? I will kill it when the time comes."
Woo~~
The howling of wolves echoed in the nearby foothills. On the ground illuminated by the moonlight, the people who came over were all wearing the same clothes. The robes were tied around the waist and were light and close to the body. However, the swords in their hands were different. The person walking in front,
He is nearly thirty years old, with a bun and a very ordinary robe. He has a thin face and a pair of mustaches. He looks like a businessman.
He smiled and said:
"Haha, that Junior Brother Fei asked very well. Before leaving the army, he asked about monsters just to be on the safe side. Junior Brother Qin, don't blame him. Speaking of which, I feel really envious when I see you all coming together after receiving the emergency message.
Unfortunately, I haven’t seen my fellow disciples in the sect for several years.”
"Senior Brother Feihe is too humble. The Tianshi Sect has dispersed throughout the nine states. It is also a practice. But why does Senior Brother start working as a merchant in the town?"
"Haha, as you said, the masters dispersed across the nine states and went about their own business, all of which were cultivation. When I was fourteen years old, my master chose me to study in the mountains. At the age of sixteen, I entered the foundation building, and at the age of twenty, I entered the foundation building.
Nine, the foundation building is complete...Now I start doing business in the town to make a living, which is also a kind of practice."
Amidst the soft words, among the few people walking forward, a slim figure had a calm expression on his face, not showing much interest in what they were talking about.
Xingmu looked around, and the fog became thicker and thicker at this time.
"Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Feihe, the surrounding fog is thicker than before, but you can't feel any evil spirit. Is there really a monster in this mountain?"
"have!"
The Taoist priest named Feihe suppressed his smile, "Pindao has been doing business in Tianhe Town for four years. He has heard some rumors here about the monsters in the mountains. I didn't pay much attention to them at first, but half a month ago, I accidentally noticed out of the corner of my eye.
If you can see something unusual, you will follow it to this mountain. Just like Junior Sister Zhu, you will find that there is no evil spirit, so you don't dare to act rashly, so you can only observe from a distance and send a message to your sect to act together."
Zhu Jingshu turned her face and said, "What did you see?"
"The mountain opened one eye, and the eye flew out, floated to the sky, and coincided with the sun and the moon. Just like this!"
In the last low voice, Taoist Feihe looked in a certain direction, and several people also looked. Outside the surging fog, everything was as usual, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a bright full moon floating by.
It reaches the top of the mountain and overlaps with the big mountain.
next moment.
Just like closing your eyes, the full moon disappears in an instant.
…
at the same time.
In the narrow cave, Chen Yuan and the others had walked a long way through the mountain with the help of Dharma light. For a moment, there was a faint light of burning fire in front of them.
