Upon hearing Chu Ling's question, Cao Zhenhai smiled: "Girl, I really don't know if there are Taoist priests on this mountain. But looking at the weather now, it's really impossible to live without a warm house on this mountain. Besides, there are still many mountains on this mountain.
It’s really just a small house like mine. I don’t think there will be anyone else there, and even if there were, people would still be dead.”
Chu Ling nodded, turned her head and glanced at the door. Snowflakes like goose feathers were constantly blowing into the cracks of the door. Even in this room, the cold wind could still penetrate thick clothes and penetrate into people's bodies.
This uncle is right, it can really freeze someone to death.
But Chu Ling was puzzled. The elders in the family had mentioned to her countless times that the old Taoist priest who had a good relationship with his grandfather lived in seclusion on this mountain all year round and claimed that he would never come down the mountain in his life. Wouldn't he have been frozen to death long ago?
?
"Girl, who do you think that person is? A relative of yours?" Cao Zhenhai interrupted at this time.
"No, he's just an acquaintance. I need to ask him to do something."
"I'm looking for a Taoist priest to do something...Girl, have you two got into trouble?" Cao Zhenhai probably stayed alone in the mountains for a long time. He is talkative and very curious.
"No, it's something else." Chu Ling shook her head and smiled.
"Oh, okay, I thought you two were possessed by an evil spirit. If you are really possessed by an evil spirit, you don't have to hide it. I have been staying in this mountain all year round, and I also know some tricks to exorcise evil spirits. If it's not a big trouble, I'll tell you
Maybe I can help you too." Cao Zhenhai was very enthusiastic.
But what he said made Bai Wuji and the two curious. Why did they know some tricks to ward off evil spirits after staying on this mountain all year round?
Seeing Bai Wuji and Chu Ling's doubts, Cao Zhenhai smiled and said: "Haha, I forgot, you two don't come to this mountain often, so you probably don't know... This mountain is not ordinary, there are some evil things.
, in the early years there were often deaths, but in recent years it has become much quieter.”
When talking about this kind of topic, Chu Ling became a little interested and asked curiously: "Oh? Are there still ghosts in this mountain?"
"It's not haunted. Those things are probably not ghosts. They are five things that look like zombies. They are said to be extremely powerful. They tear people apart and eat people without spitting out their bones! In the early years, when I went up the mountain, I could always encounter broken corpses.
, it’s all their doing! People in our area who understand this call them zombies, but I don’t know what they are. Oh, there is a legend about these five zombies here...
It just so happens that it’s okay, I’ll tell you about it.”
So Cao Zhenhai started telling stories.
It is said that the five zombie-like monsters were originally humans, a group of robbers in the mountains about hundreds of years ago. It is said that they are all evil people who commit murder and arson, and do all kinds of evil. Moreover, each of them is very skilled in kung fu, and they are familiar with each other.
Due to the terrain on the mountain, the government at the time couldn't do anything about it.
Because the government was incompetent, the robbers committed rape, robbery, and all kinds of evil. The people nearby were frightened at night, for fear that the robbers from the mountains would come down to rob and kill people.
Later, a mysterious man came to this area. He was an eccentric old Taoist priest. But according to legend, he was not a good person. It is said that some children secretly saw him practicing some evil magic and even stole the children here. Later, one time, the robber came down the mountain and the old man
Although the Taoist priest knew magic, his fighting skills were definitely not as good as those of the robbers. That night, the old Taoist priest robbed all the gold and silver he had defrauded for decades, and he himself was severely beaten and humiliated by the robbers.
The old Taoist priest became angry and determined to take revenge. He left here for half a year. When he came back, he brought five mysterious things. They were mysterious because they could walk, but they were covered with black cloth from head to toe, leaving only a pair of eyes to see.
Lu. At that time, someone saw the eyes of the five people, which were blood red.
Later, the old Taoist priest took these five strange things up the mountain.
It is said that it was winter when the old Taoist priest went up the mountain. The mountain was blocked by heavy snow. For twenty days, the old Taoist priest was not seen coming down. When the snow stopped and spring began, when a group of people went up the mountain, they found five withered corpses, as if they had been killed.
It looked like it had been burned by fire. As soon as you touched it with your fingers, the corpse blew away in the wind, and around the dust was the black cloth that the old Taoist priest had used to cover the five strange things. At that time, the villagers felt that the old Taoist priest probably had no ability to move it.
The reinforcements who came were all burned to death by the bandits.
But soon, late at night, the villagers who entered the mountain first found the body of the old Taoist priest who had been torn apart beyond recognition, and then found five zombie monsters wearing bandit clothes! There were about twenty villagers in the group, and only two were left.
Those who escaped, the rest died in the hands of those monsters.
"...It is said that the monsters have been staying in the mountains for hundreds of years, and no one has been able to deal with them." Speaking of which, Cao Zhenhai took a sip of hot water.
Chu Ling was curious and asked: "If this rumor is true, would anyone dare to go hunting in the mountains?"
"Haha, not everyone believes the rumors. Besides, people died in pieces before. Who knows whether they were killed by monsters or wild beasts? Moreover, there is also a legend that those five monsters only come out at night.
He kills people, and he never knocks on the door. As long as the door is closed and no one knocks on it, it will definitely be fine if he stays here for one night."
Don't come out during the day, but only hurt people at night?
Bai Wuji was confused for a moment. Thinking about the number of those monsters being five, and the legend Uncle Cao just told, Bai Wuji found that no matter what he thought, it was all weird. But he couldn't figure it out for a while.
I simply didn’t want to think about it anymore. The three of them chatted casually again. Uncle Cao was not only a talker, but also a sweetheart. At that time, he took out the various talismans he had made and said where to stick these things, the five monsters would be there.
Anyone who dares to come in, says that these are passed down from ancestors. In the past, the older generation used to hunt in the mountains and need to stay overnight, so they needed these talismans to protect themselves.
But when Chu Ling saw those magic talismans, she could only laugh.
Even the basic format of the talisman was wrong, and it obviously had no effect. Presumably, the monsters rumored on the mountain were also wild beasts. But Chu Ling didn't point it out and gave Cao Zhenhai some face.
After chatting for a while, Cao Zhenhai said to Chu Ling and Bai Wuji: "But the snow is getting heavier and heavier. I have a car here. I will get two things later and take you down the mountain. No matter who you look for, wait for the snow."
If you stop and go again, you will really lose your life."
Cao Zhenhai meant well, and Chu Ling also understood that continuing to search like this was really not an option. She didn't want to go home for a blind date anyway, and she didn't care how long it took, so the two decided to go down the mountain with Cao Zhenhai.
But one thing is very unfortunate. Although the mobile phone signal on this mountain is very poor, there is no Internet, and there is no TV, the radio signal is not bad. Cao Zhenhai is usually bored here, so he listens to his old-fashioned radio. But at this moment,
The news was broadcast on the radio, saying that there was a heavy snowfall on the mountain, and the mountain road had been blocked by snow.
"Sealed? Why so fast?" Cao Zhenhai looked unhappy. He pushed the door open at that time, and with a crash, the snow passed over the threshold and pushed directly into the house, submerging Cao Zhenhai's ankles. When Cao Zhenhai looked outside, the snow could already cover his calves.
Wow, this is absolutely impossible to leave.
"It's over, it's over, I can't leave now..." Cao Zhenhai shook his head, pushed the door open, came to the table and said to Bai Wuji and Chu Ling: "It's snowing too much outside, and the mountain road is blocked. Fortunately, I have some reserves.
If we eat enough, it will be fine for three people to eat for a month. It will take at least a week for us to go down, so you two can make do with me for now."
Chu Ling quickly shook her head: "How can you be so embarrassed? You can calculate the cost of Uncle Cao's things and we will settle the bill."
Cao Zhenhai waved his hand: "What's the bill? Who hasn't encountered trouble? A few mouthfuls of things are worthless... Come, there are three cabins downstairs. Do you want to live together or separately?"
Chu Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "It's better to separate."
Cao Zhenhai glanced doubtfully, smiled, and said: "Young people, don't always get angry because of trivial things. It's fate that we can meet together. We must cherish each other."
Bai Wuji and Chu Linglin had black lines on their faces. What is this? Is it a misunderstanding?
"No uncle, actually we are not angry, we are..."
Bai Wuji opened his mouth to explain, but Cao Zhenhai went to clean up the house with a smile. Bai Wuji could only shrug helplessly at Chu Ling.
Soon, night fell, and the wind outside became louder. Snow balls pattered on the door. You can imagine how heavy the snow was outside. With such heavy snow, no one would be able to survive outside.
, at this time, it is estimated that there will only be dead people left outside.
Bai Wuji was just thinking about this out of boredom, when suddenly there was a knock on the door!
Chu Ling and Cao Zhenhai were also stunned. At this moment, the three of them were sitting at the table drinking ginger soup.
"Why did someone knock on the door suddenly?" Chu Ling raised her eyebrows.
Cao Zhenhai's face suddenly turned pale at this time, he shook his head and said: "No way, what time is it, the snow is so heavy outside... It must not be a human, it must be a zombie! The zombies in the mountains are rumored, I heard they like heavy snow.
Come out!"
Boom, boom, boom!
The knocking on the door still continued.
Bai Wuji stood up and walked to the door.
Cao Zhenhai hurried over: "What are you doing? Don't move. This door can't be opened."
But at this moment, a trembling man's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Brother...brother, open...open the door, it's freezing to death, it's freezing to death..."
This is a human voice.
Cao Zhenhai was startled, and looked along the crack of the door. There was a man in a down jacket standing outside. He looked gentle, with eyes, and his face looked thinner. He had a woman in his arms, which was completely opposite to the gentle man.
, looks a bit charming, and her figure cannot be seen in a down jacket, but if this face is matched with a similar figure, she will definitely be a rare beauty in the world.
"Human?" Bai Wuji was stunned.
"Hey, wait a minute, I'll open the door right now." Cao Zhenhai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the door. A man and a woman walked in tremblingly, their faces turned pale with cold.
Seeing the two people coming in, Cao Zhenhai quickly closed the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "You two are going up the mountain so late?"
The gentle man smiled and said: "I'm sorry, please, uncle. We originally wanted to go to the mountains to play, but the snow was too heavy and we were stuck. The car was also broken down. It was very cold inside. I happened to see you.
The hut was empty, so I came to get warm."
"Oh, that's it, that's okay... But we can't go down to this snow-covered mountain for at least a week, so don't leave and stay here temporarily."
"Thank you very much, uncle." The man said with a smile.
The man looked polite and spoke politely, but the charming-looking woman didn't say a few words from beginning to end. She only trembled and rubbed her hands.
Bai Wuji looked at this man, raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously thought about what he just said, saying that he came to the mountains to play, and then got trapped, unable to get off, and the car was broken down. Bai Wuji frowned
, I thought it was wrong. There are often people hunting on this mountain, which means there are many wild animals, and there may be some wild beasts. And when choosing a place to play, you should at least understand the conditions here, right? These two people don't even have shotguns.
Are you here for fun? Even if you are on vacation, you have to choose a safe place without wild animals, right?
