Chapter 509: The red horse also wants to show its power
The moonlight illuminated the outlines of the mountains, forests and meadows, as if it was a brightness that only existed in this era, and the clouds in the sky were clearly reflected.
There was a sway in the green grass on the ground.
It's a calico cat walking.
Since most of the grass on the ground is taller than her, she is extra careful when taking steps to ensure that she won't miss the mark or step on anything messy when she steps forward. When she walks with her front foot, her back foot will step on it without any special control.
The place where the front foot steps.
But the Taoist's voice came from behind:
"Miss Sanhua, please don't go, stay here for me and guard this place."
"Meow?"
"There are fewer people in Yuezhou, so there are more evil spirits. Tonight is the first night in Yuezhou. I guess there will be evil spirits to disturb me at night."
"you guess?"
"Yes, I guess." Song You's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing others. He lowered his head and looked at the cat in the grass, "Sanhua Empress is alert and quick, and she is very powerful now. If there is really an evil spirit at night
Come and cause chaos in the camp. The camp is so big, I’m afraid only Sanhua Empress can react in a very short time.”
"Only Sanhua Empress!"
"It must be Miss Sanhua!"
"Meow!"
The cat didn't say anything, but immediately sat down, upright, turned its head to look left and right, then raised its paws to lick it, as if it wasn't going to leave.
"I'll trouble you, Sanhua Empress."
The Taoist said something and then continued forward.
The moon is high in the sky, as big as a jade plate, illuminating the sky.
A swallow slightly bent its wings and shot straight into the sky like an arrow piercing the clouds. Its elegant figure appeared under the bright moon. Only when the upward force completely disappeared did the swallow turn around and fall naturally. After flapping its wings twice, it stabilized easily.
The figure glides downwards and swims into the boundless night of the mountain forest.
The meadow was full of people, snoring everywhere.
There were also people who kept their eyes open and were too scared to sleep. When the Taoist walked past, they looked at him warily.
The Taoist kept walking and walked into the dark mountain forest.
The moonlight penetrated into the mountain forest very little. The forest was dark, but the reflections were blurry. The projections of many branches looked like demons that choose people to eat, and there was a hint of the ancient cypress of Jinyang Road in the trance.
I do not know how long it has been.
Deep in the forest, on a tree with a crooked neck.
A monkey sat on a branch, leaning against the trunk of the tree, sitting very firmly, closing his eyes, and fell asleep.
There was a slight sound from below.
"brush!"
The monkey opened his eyes instantly and looked down.
However, I saw a young Taoist standing down below, holding a bamboo stick and looking up at it. When he saw it, he even saluted him.
"It's polite..."
The monkey was immediately frightened, stood up and wanted to run away, but because of the Taoist's gift, he stayed where he was.
For a moment, various emotions such as confusion and curiosity flashed across his face.
"You...who are you?"
"My surname is Song and my name is You, a Taoist from Yizhou."
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"As long as you are not afraid of me."
"..."
The monkey was stunned for a moment, then sat back down, leaned down and looked down at him: "Why are you coming to see me so late?"
"I just want to ask you, where did you hear about what I said this evening, that Dayan was about to die and the Chen family was about to rise, and why did you tell the people who were migrating?" Song You was very polite.
"you do not believe?"
"..." Song You shook his head, but did not answer, "I just want to ask where he came from and why."
"I saw those people walking under the tree today. I heard that they were going to live here, and I kindly reminded them to prevent them from being killed by others like the people many years ago. As a result, not only did they not thank me
He was so kind and scolded me to leave." The monkey sat on the tree with a shrill voice and was very unhappy, "It's really annoying."
"My heart is simple and honest." Song You said.
"But good things may not always go well." The monkey said still angrily, "You people just don't appreciate it. When you live here, you will definitely drive away the monsters."
"But where did Shimizu hear about it?"
"?"
The monkey instantly became vigilant and sat on the tree staring at him. He even stood up again and climbed up to the treetop. Then he looked down at him and said, "Why do you ask this?"
"curious."
Song You raised his head and stared straight at it.
Although it has a monkey face, it is somewhat similar to a human. Compared to a human, the information revealed in its face and eyes is more plain and not hidden at all.
"Everyone says so!"
said the monkey sitting on the branch.
"You all say that?"
"I won't tell you!"
"It seems that the source of the information is a very remarkable existence, or a very fierce monster, so I dare not say anything."
"?"
The monkey was stunned for a moment and waved his hands quickly: "I don't know, I don't know! Don't ask me, don't ask me!"
"But since that being has spread the news, and everyone is saying so, how can I know that it's the one who is afraid that others will know that he is the one who spread the news? How can I be sure that he doesn't want others to know the source of the news?
What about him?" Song You smiled slightly, "Maybe his purpose is to let people know that the information comes from him."
"impossible!"
"How is it impossible?"
"Then he won't hide!"
"Thank you very much."
Song You smiled slightly and raised his hand to salute.
"ah!"
The monkey suddenly screamed and then it reacted.
"You! You are so cunning!"
"It's just a small talk."
"What are you doing with him?"
"curious."
"You can't find him even if you know it! There are no monsters in Yuezhou and no one can find him. Even the gods in the sky can't find him!"
"I won't say it was Shisho who reminded me."
After Song Yu finished speaking, he ignored the monkey and turned around to leave.
The monkey sat on the branch and stared at him blankly.
Suddenly I heard some noises above my head again.
In a hurry, I raised my head and saw a swallow flying from the top of the tree.
The monkey couldn't help but be stunned again——
I had just climbed up, thinking that it would be safer if I climbed higher and distanced myself, but I never thought that the swallow was standing right above my head.
The monkey couldn't help but feel scared.
…
At the same time, in the meadow at the foot of the mountain, where the immigrants stayed for the night, a loud cry of a baby suddenly sounded.
"Wow……"
The sound was so loud that it disturbed the silence of the night sky.
It is difficult for people to ignore the cry of a child. In addition, many people have not slept well tonight, and they are woken up one after another. There are more people waking up, and the noisy sounds and chaotic movements wake up more people.
"Whose baby is crying?"
"Crying so hard?"
"It seems to be coming from over there."
Everyone followed the sound and looked in one direction.
Just looking at it, I felt a sense of vigilance.
"Over there? Isn't that at the edge of the forest? Where is anyone resting there?"
"There's no fire over there! It's pitch black!"
"Could it be a monster? I heard that monsters like to cry like babies and trick people into eating them!"
"I'm afraid that the one who killed a thousand swords with a baby came here and thought the baby was troublesome, so he threw the baby away!"
"Ask Mr. Cha..."
Demons and ghosts tempt people to eat by the roadside and rivers. The most common method is to imitate the cry of a baby, and the second is to dress up as a beautiful girl. Such legends are common in various states and places.
It's just that the demons and evil spirits still don't change.
It's nothing more than useful.
If you pretend to be a young and beautiful woman, there will always be people who are lustful. They know that it may be a demon, but they don't care about anything else. They fall into the trap, thinking that they will die under the peonies, but in fact they will be swallowed in one bite. If they imitate the cry of a baby,
There are always kind-hearted people, especially the elderly, who know that it may be a ghost, but are also worried that it might be a real baby, so they take the risk to see it.
Humans are social animals and naturally like to take care of their young.
The same is true tonight.
It’s just that there are many people tonight, and there are officials accompanying them. Before people came, they knew that there were fewer people in Yuezhou and more evil spirits. They were also told by the government how to deal with evil spirits, so they should be more vigilant and prepared, so they got entangled with a few official officials carrying long swords and a few people.
He was named Qingzhuang and was led by an official, accompanied by several experienced old men, and slowly approached there.
Everything is hazy under the moonlight.
The sound is getting closer and clearer.
By the time they were very close to the sound, everyone had already walked in front of a group of bushes.
The vegetation was so dense that the moonlight couldn't shine through at all, and it looked pitch black. If someone really abandoned a child, it seemed like a good place to do so.
Everyone bent down and explored cautiously.
Suddenly an old man frowned and his eyes widened.
"wrong!"
As it got closer and closer, the sound became louder and louder. Although it was indeed like a baby crying, it became more and more harsh and stung his eardrums. Ordinary baby cries did not have this feeling.
"careful!"
As soon as the old man's words came out of his mouth, it seemed as if something had been revealed.
The voice in front stopped immediately.
There was deathly silence in the dark grass.
Everyone was alert and quickly retreated.
However, the grass suddenly began to shake, making a rustling sound that became increasingly violent.
Suddenly there was a crash——
A monster sprang out from the grass.
This monster looks like a wild boar, with tusks and serrated teeth. Its body is as hairy as steel needles, and its tail is twisting wildly behind it with great flexibility. If you look closely, you will see that there is a mouth on the tip of the tail. It is actually a pig.
The monster with the body of a snake and its tail represents a terrifying situation.
"Wow……"
When the monster opened its mouth, a baby cried, and its eyes stared at the person in front of it with greedy light.
"Don't be afraid! The book says don't be afraid. As long as you are not afraid of monsters, they can be beaten to death. If they run away, they will be defeated one by one! Everyone, come together!"
"Wow……"
The monster suddenly rushed up.
Several officers drew their knives one after another, either because they were timid or they mustered up their courage. The other young men also held sticks and swept around the formation, and all the knives were slashing at the pig demon.
Although pigskin was as hard as armor, it was no match for metal or sharp blades. A single cut still left scars, blood flowed out, and the monster raised its head and screamed in pain.
However, the size of the monster is huge after all, and there are indeed fewer people with it this time. Not to mention the monster, it is difficult to deal with ordinary wild boars. The monster rushed past, and when it hit two people, two people were immediately lifted.
He turned out and fell to the ground wailing.
The monster was injured and in pain, but became more ferocious.
He stopped and looked down at everyone, took two steps back, pointed his fangs at the people still standing in front of him, and rushed forward again.
At this moment, a rumble was heard.
The horses' hooves hit the ground, like the beating of drums, approaching quickly.
Seeing that the monster had already rushed in front of them, when several officials were panicking, they saw a horse riding on the wind and riding on the grass in the moonlight. It was as fast as a black shadow, and it bumped into the monster sideways.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the snake-tailed pig was immediately knocked away.
At the same time, the grass was swaying from far to near, and a calico cat was also galloping like the wind, heroic, like a tiger and leopard on the grassland, squeezing through the weeds, and quickly came to the scene from a distance.
