After I asked this question, Yao Hongling's face turned slightly red. She said softly and unconvincingly: "Anyway, just remember that this is magic. Do you really believe that someone can invite immortals to come and grind it?"
"
"clear!"
I nodded and said nothing more.
Whether it's a fool's errand or not, you'll know once you open your eyes.
I took out the grapefruit leaves and cow tears, and when no one was paying attention, I quietly put the grapefruit leaves on my eyes.
My eyes widened, and when I looked at the rotating table, I was startled.
Under the dim light, I saw four or so monsters with bull heads, holding on to the table with their hands and spinning around quickly. Under the table, there was also a bull-headed monster squatting with both hands.
Hold the bottom of the table.
That’s only five Minotaurs! Why is this spell called Nine Bulls Turning Mill? I can’t help but feel a little suspicious.
At this moment, a Minotaur's head shook, and suddenly, a shadow of a Minotaur appeared from behind the Minotaur.
I took a closer look and discovered that behind each Minotaur, there was a shadow of a Minotaur. They lowered their hands and followed the Minotaur in front closely.
The table was spinning around, and suddenly I saw that the previous Minotaurs had all moved aside. Four shadows of the Minotaurs immediately stepped forward to support the table and spun around quickly. The Minotaurs who had retreated followed closely.
Behind the Minotaur.
Now I understand what the Nine Bulls are. Five real cows and four shadow cows, together they are nine cows. As for whether this Minotaur is transformed from a human soul or a bull soul, there is no way to know.
It’s true that money can make ghosts grind mills! I didn’t expect Master Jinlin to be able to use spells to drive nine bull monsters to grind mills. It seems that this person’s magic skills are not low.
"stop!"
Suddenly Master Jin Lin shouted loudly, and the nine bull monsters put down the table.
I immediately picked the grapefruit leaves from my eyes and put them into my French cloth bag.
"Come, let's toast the new guests."
Following Master Jin Lin's order, a young man picked up the bowl of wine on the table and walked over to Lin Min and me.
It was a large bowl filled with bright yellow rice wine. You could smell the aroma of the wine from afar.
If a person were to drink this large bowl of rice wine, he would have to tip it over.
Fortunately, the guy poured half of it for each of me and Yao Hongling.
The meal that followed was much quieter. Master Jin Lin did not show off his skills anymore, and the two of them got along peacefully.
After dinner, everyone sat down and talked about going into the mountains together.
After consulting Master Jin Lin for advice, Yao Hongling began to formulate her strategy for entering the mountain.
After listening to their discussion, I realized that things were more complicated than I thought.
The most terrifying thing in Fox Valley is not the legendary fox demon, but something called a mountain demon. It is said that this mountain demon is about the same height as a person and is very cunning. Sometimes it will even follow people behind and stealthily kill them.
Drag it into the grass.
Yao Hongling took out a pen and paper and started to deduce it to us on the spot.
"There are three ways to enter Fox Spirit Valley now. I want to set off at four o'clock tomorrow morning, starting from Foxtail Stream and going up the stream. In this way, I can bypass Fox Spirit Cave. After all, that place is extremely dangerous, with venomous snakes and beasts.
"
Yao Hongling said to us.
Master Jin Lin shook his head and denied the plan: "The yin energy in Huwei Stream is too strong, and that place is not suitable for entering the mountain, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble. In my opinion, the best route is to enter the mountain through Huling Cave. Although there are evil spirits in the cave,
Snakes and beasts, but as long as we buy twenty 'consecrated pine oil sticks' at the foot of the mountain, we can ensure a safe journey."
"No, I think this plan is inappropriate. It will increase the cost of our entire trip. I don't agree with buying pine tar sticks. One pine tar stick costs more than three hundred. If you buy twenty 'pine tar sticks', it will cost more than 300 yuan."
It costs more than 6,000 yuan. Although the boy is always willing to pay for it, as Feng Shui consultants, we should think about the problem with the purpose of saving money for the boss."
Yao Hongling shook her head and said: "My principle is to choose the safest route into the mountain at the same cost. Besides, I don't believe at all that the 'consecrated pine oil stick' will really have a miraculous effect in driving away ferocious beasts. From my perspective
Judging from the information we have, many explorers die in Huling Cave every year, and many of them have bought the so-called 'consecrated turpentine sticks'."
"Hmph! I think the information you have is not trustworthy at all. I, Master Jin Lin, have been to Fox Valley eight times. Holding the 'Consecrated Pine Oil Stick' in my hand, I have been able to turn danger into good fortune every time." Jin Lin
The mage retorted unconvinced.
Not to be outdone, Yao Hongling smiled and said, "Then have you ever entered the Fox Valley from Huwei Stream?"
"Of course."
"Did pine tar sticks also be used?" Yao Hongling asked.
"No!"
"That's right. You can enter the Huyou Valley from the Huwei Stream without using a pine stick, which shows that this way is feasible. Although the Yin energy here is concentrated, it will not prevent us from entering the forest of the Fox Valley." Yao Hongling replied.
.
"There is a mountain demon in that place. The mountain demon can eat people and transform into humans. They are monsters." Master Jin Lin said to Yao Hongling.
Yao Hongling smiled and shook her head and said: "I don't really believe in the theory of ghosts and gods. I think more often, it's a person's psychological effect that affects him."
After listening to Yao Hongling's words, Master Jin Lin glared angrily: "Okay, since you said you would follow your route, I don't have anything to say. If something happens, don't blame me, Jin Lin, for not warning you."
It looked like the two were about to quarrel again.
When Tong Fang saw this, she quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Foxyou Valley is an undeveloped deep mountain scenic spot. As long as the address of the hotel is checked, the expansion and construction of the entire scenic spot will enter a substantial stage. This is also what our Mr. Tong is most concerned about. Because there are many dangerous situations in the mountains,
Mr. Tong specially invited Master Jin Lin as his escort, and I hope that everyone can work together to successfully complete this mission and find the Fox Eye Treasure in the Fox Valley as soon as possible."
Tong Fang glanced at Yao Hongling and Master Jin Lin and quickly lowered their heads.
In the end, under Tong Fang's suggestion, everyone chose Yao Hongling's plan. We will set off at four o'clock tomorrow morning.
After the matter was finalized, Tong Fang took me to a small hotel with a wooden structure.
The entire Fox Mountain is a large scenic spot, and Fox Valley is just a part of it.
Therefore, many restaurants and hotels have been built in Hushan Town, because many tourists come here every year for vacation or adventure, especially in autumn and summer.
These are all what I saw from the pile of information Yao Hongling gave me.
Tong Fang arranged for Yao Hongling and me to stay in the same hotel, with the two rooms next to each other.
I didn't sleep well last night and planned to go to bed early tonight. So as soon as I entered the guest room, I took off my clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I took off my clothes, I saw the lights in the room flash and make a soft "bang" sound.
Soon, the lights in the room came on again.
It's not a good sign to see a strange phenomenon when you enter the house. Find a compass and go out to explore the situation first.
Thinking of this, I took the compass out of my bag and placed it on my lower abdomen to measure the magnetic field here.
If the pointer moves randomly, there must be something wrong here. Maybe someone died.
I carefully looked at the pointer on the compass, and fortunately, I didn't find anything unusual.
My hanging heart was relieved, and I took out the clothes from my bag and walked towards the bathroom.
I took a shower in less than ten minutes and returned to my room to prepare for bed.
Just when I was thinking this, I suddenly saw a figure passing by outside the window. I immediately opened the door and took a look into the corridor.
I felt my eyes shaking for a moment, and soon I saw a woman running down quickly.
It only shook slightly at the entrance of the corridor and then disappeared without a trace.
Strange, it seems to be Yao Hongling.
At this time, instead of staying in the guest room, she went downstairs to do something.
Without thinking too much, I put on my coat and quickly chased after him.
This girl ran very fast, and in just the blink of an eye, she ran into the jungle behind the hotel.
What is this woman doing in the woods so late?
I was very surprised and wanted to know even more what was going on.
I walked slowly in the direction where Yao Hongling disappeared. After walking for a while, I heard the sound of a hoe digging into the soil from the forest.
I walked forward in the direction of the sound, and after a while, I saw an old man bending over and digging a hole in the ground under the night sky.
I looked at the old man carefully, and I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. Isn't this old man the Master Jinlin at the dinner party that night? What is this guy doing here digging in the dirt so late?
Suddenly, he saw Old Man Jin burying a dark jar under a tree, and then filling it with soil with a shovel.
After burying the soil, I saw Old Man Jin take something out of his pocket, and there was a "pop" sound, and a ray of fire rose from the dark forest.
It's the light of a lighter.
Afraid of being discovered, I quickly squatted down and then lay down on the grass bit by bit.
However, what I didn't expect was that when I raised my head and looked forward again, Old Man Jin had disappeared.
This old guy's skills are really amazing, and he left so quickly.
But it's okay, I just took this opportunity to dig out this guy's jar and take a look. I want to see what the hell is inside.
Thinking of this, I walked forward slowly.
After looking around for a while, I didn't see Old Man Jin, and I felt relieved.
I squatted down at the place where he was digging the soil before, and soon started to dig up the soil with my hands. Fortunately, this guy's jar was not buried very firmly. After digging for a few minutes, I saw a dark bird faintly visible in the soil.
of the altar.
I was a little excited and put my hand on the mouth of the jar, ready to take it out of the mud pit.
Just when my hand was about to exert force, I suddenly heard a "whooshing" sound coming from the grass.
I turned around and was startled. Under the hazy night, I could vaguely see a black snake with a snow-white neck. It stood upright and was ready to attack me.
My hand happened to be in the mud puddle, and before I could get rid of it, the snake bit my arm.
Just when the snake bit me on the arm, I saw clearly what the snake looked like. It was a flat-jawed cobra. This bite would have killed me.
I felt sad in my heart.
Just when the snake was about to touch my hand, the snake quickly bounced back as if it had been electrocuted, then turned around and burrowed into the grass.
Darling! This snake ran away on its own. This is so strange!
I couldn't help but feel surprised, and I inadvertently remembered what the vixen Mina said the night before. She said that I have the blood of the Snake King in my body.
Is it because of this reason that this snake cobra let me go?
