We both had a tacit understanding of not looking back or mentioning this matter. The voice behind us seemed to have gradually lost patience and finally stopped speaking.
Has it left? Wanlin and I are thinking about this question. In any case, at least now is not the time to look back. Some old ghosts are particularly cunning. If they find it difficult to succeed at once, they will give up for a while and wait until you
When you relax your vigilance and your body's defensive awareness is reduced to the lowest level, an unintentional turning back can put you in immediate danger.
I looked up at the moon. Today's moon phase is the Emei Moon, so the moonlight is scarce and everything is very dim. It is also the best time for all kinds of evil spirits to come out to do harm. According to our industry's "cultivation according to the sun, in order to
According to the rule of "Moon Walking", it is logical to avoid going out at night. Even if you want to go out, it is more appropriate to be fully armed and ready.
What's more, we are coming to a place like the dense forest of southern Xinjiang. Even if we don't talk about ghosts, the poisonous insects and wild beasts in the forest, as well as the monsters and evil beasts that have been cultivated into spirits, are enough to drink a pot. Those things are not necessarily just relying on
When it comes to seeing people with our eyes, it is still unknown how useful the poisons on our bodies that cover our bodies can be.
I don’t know how long I walked, but it felt like several hours had passed. The deep black night in the eastern sky had gradually turned into navy blue. Although it hadn’t turned white yet, it was already one step closer to dawn.
And I found that the density of the surrounding woods has also dropped a bit. Before, there was a tree a few steps away, one next to another, almost completely covering up the moonlight, but now each tree is more independent.
There is often another tree dozens of meters away, with a big gap between them, and the ground is covered with dense weeds, like a velvet blanket.
"Are we out of the deepest part of the jungle now?" I asked casually, "Where are we going further out? Are we going to a village where humans live?"
"We have indeed walked out of the dense forest near the Evil Witch Cult, but it is still far away from the city and the countryside, or it is basically in the opposite direction, because several nearby villages are either entirely members of the Evil Witch Cult.
Either it is also under the control of the Evil Witch Cult, and if we go in hastily, we will only be arrested faster, so I am walking in the direction of the Diancang Mountains."
Wanlin pointed to the faintly rising mountain in the distance and said: "Diancang Mountain is full of righteousness, and there are dragon veins connecting it underground. Although it was shaken in the past, it is also the best way for you to practice Taoism.
When the time comes, you can set up a magic circle and gather the energy of the dragon veins, hoping to suppress the riot of the golden silkworm Gu's true energy in the body."
It turns out that Wanlin didn't just shoot aimlessly and change places, but had already planned the most suitable route in her heart, and even considered helping me suppress the golden silkworm Gu. This is indeed true.
A hero among women.
"But now we are passing through the most dangerous area. If you hear a voice calling you to turn back, don't turn back, because that is the sound made by the red-headed red-chained snake when it is preying. This kind of snake is very strange, and
He is very picky and will only eat intelligent animals as long as he is not extremely hungry. Of course, the ones that best meet this condition are humans."
Wanlin made a gesture of biting her neck with her hand, and then continued: "Those creatures that heard her call, not only did not run away, but turned back, it means they understood the content of the words and knew that someone was calling them, then
Naturally, only intelligent humans would do this. The red-headed red-chained snake would quickly pounce on it, wrap around its body, and then bite off half of its neck in one bite before savoring it carefully."
Wan Lin's words reminded me of a famous prose written by Mr. Lu Xun called "Baicao Hall and Sanwei Bookstore" when I was in Chinese class when I was a child. It mentioned a beautiful snake that eats human flesh, and it was also mentioned in it.
When you go out at night and call the scholar's name, if you pretend to be asleep and don't answer her, you'll be fine. But if you are ready to make a move and answer her, I'm afraid it will become her meal.
Of course, Mr. Lu Xun said that this was just an unfounded rumor and joke. Although he was frightened at night when he was a child, he had never encountered such a thing before. Later he realized that this was just a folk legend.
However, for those of us in this field, even if it is absurd folk tales, except for the kind of jokes that are completely made up for hype, most of them have their own realistic prototypes, and they may be different from what people say.
They are exactly the same, and there are even big differences, but there is always a certain connection between them.
It is precisely because such and such supernatural things have happened in the past that they have been passed down from one person to another by those who know about them. Many details have changed unknowingly and become more like just absurd ghost stories and horror stories.
The so-called beautiful snake I used to refer to is a kind of lonely ghost who can use the word spirit and eat human flesh as a means to replenish Yang Qi and improve cultivation. However, listening to what Wan Lin said, it seems that there are still some ghosts in the world.
Such snakes really exist.
"Is that snake very powerful? Although it is said to be a monster, the most advanced Gu monsters in your evil witch sect are basically monsters controlled by people, right?" I asked casually, "This place is so close to your main altar.
No one has been sent to clean it?"
"The red-headed red-chain snake itself is not particularly powerful, but it is extremely cunning." Wan Lin shook her head and replied, "If it is just a head-on confrontation, there is always a way, but these red-headed red-chain snakes are probably because they eat
With the addition of a human brain, he becomes extremely smart and will not confront you directly when he is not sure. He often uses various conditions or even traps to first lure a person to be alone, and then attack him in groups to entangle him.
If you kill your limbs and eat meat, you will have almost no chance to resist."
She pointed at the sparse trees and said: "The Evil Witch Cult once wanted to set up an altar in the savanna outside the dense forest, open up wasteland for cultivation, and build an altar. Who would have expected that groups of pioneers would be sent there?
Team, all of them disappeared inexplicably in the end, leaving only bones and tattered clothes around."
"They were all killed by this red-headed red-chain snake? No way, this monster is so powerful that it can kill all the evil witches and cultivators in one pot?" I asked in disbelief, although
It is said that monsters are cunning, but the smartest creatures in the world are still humans themselves, let alone those who possess strange skills and methods.
It’s okay to say that a few of them were killed when they first came here, but they were able to be wiped out again and again?
