The woods were so quiet that there was no sound of insects or birds, only the branches creaking in the wind, and the breathing of Lin Xiaofeng and Daochang Towel.
Lin Xiaofeng is not afraid of powerful monsters. What makes him uneasy right now is this unknown fear.
After all, before they even figured out what the evil spirit was, Gu Lengyu was already dead, and the way of his death was so weird.
Towel took a deep breath and said, "Brother Lin, let's exit first."
"Yes." Lin Xiaofeng nodded slightly.
The two of them didn't know what evil was behind it. If they continued to stay, the danger would be too great. The best decision was to withdraw from the woods first and think of another way.
Lin Xiaofeng and Master Towel slowly walked back out the way they came in.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past the woods. Lin Xiaofeng and the two looked over, but due to the darkness, they were unable to see what it was that was running past the woods.
Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems like this evil spirit doesn't want to let us go."
Just as he finished speaking, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling, and then shouted: "Be careful."
His instinct told him that danger was approaching, so he hurriedly pushed the towel leader away, and then he also hid aside.
As soon as he got out of the way, a monkey-like monster jumped down from above their heads where he was standing. However, it missed the target and hurriedly got into the woods and hid.
This evil spirit moved so fast that Lin Xiaofeng could not see its specific appearance clearly.
"So fast." Lin Xiaofeng's eyes widened.
"Urgent like a law!" Taoist Master Towel hurriedly took out four yellow talismans and threw them into the air. These four yellow talismans emitted a light yellow light, centered around us, and revolved around us.
"Giggle."
At this time, there was a gurgling sound in the woods, which sounded very strange.
At this time, the monkey finally rushed out again and rushed towards Lin Xiaofeng.
The yellow talismans surrounding Lin Xiaofeng and Taoist Towel instantly sensed that something evil was approaching, and then the four yellow talismans flew up and blocked the monkey.
Now, Lin Xiaofeng finally saw what this monkey looked like.
He actually had a human face, was 1.5 meters tall, and had black hair all over his body.
The face was still smiling strangely at Lin Xiaofeng and Taoist Priest Towel.
A burst of laughter burst from his mouth, and he retreated into the jungle.
Lin Xiaofeng finally saw this evil monster clearly, but even though Lin Xiaofeng was well-informed, there was no record of such a strange monkey in his mind.
He asked the Taoist Master Towel beside him: "Brother Towel, can you recognize this evil spirit?"
The Taoist priest frowned and said, "This monkey seems to be the Corpse Laughing Monkey."
"Corpse Laughing Monkey? What kind of evil spirit is this? Why haven't I heard of it?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.
The Towel Master frowned and said slowly: "Of course you haven't heard of it. Legend has it that once the Corpse Laughing Monkey appears, the Red Gate Inn will inevitably appear nearby."
"Red Gate Inn?" Lin Xiaofeng frowned and cursed secretly in his heart, how could he be related to such a thing?
This Red Gate Inn is not ordinary.
It is said that when the Manchus entered the country, the dragon veins of the Ming Dynasty were weakened, so the Manchu shaman leader awakened the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty, so that the Qing Dynasty finally conquered the Ming Dynasty.
After the unification of the Qing Dynasty, they began to vigorously promote shamanism and suppress Taoism and Buddhism.
The leader of the Zhengyi Sect at that time was named Chen Lu.
At that time, Chen Lu was twenty-three years old and became the leader of the Zhengyi Sect at a young age. He thought that as long as Taoism could surpass Shamanism, Taoism would gain the attention of the royal family, so he sought out the leader of Shamanism to compete.
The leader of the shamanism did not accept the competition directly. A very mysterious thing happened to appear at that time, the Red Gate Inn. This inn was wandering around, but as long as someone bumped into it, it would be difficult to survive.
The leader of the shamanism said that since it was a competition, it would be up to him to conquer the evildoer of the Red Gate Inn first.
Chen Lu wandered around and looked for the Red Gate Inn.
But when he found it, he was defeated by the monster in the Red Door Inn and almost lost his life inside.
But the leader of the shamanism easily walked back and forth to the Red Gate Inn. When he came back, he brought the emperor a letter from the leader of the monsters in the Red Gate Inn. It said that the leader of the shamanism had boundless power and was willing to live without mercy for a hundred years.
Come out and make waves.
Lin Xiaofeng asked hurriedly: "Brother Towel, you mean, the Red Gate Inn is nearby?"
"I don't know either." Towel shook his head and said, "The two of us should leave first. The Red Gate Inn is not something we can mess with."
"Yes." Lin Xiaofeng nodded.
He is very self-aware of himself. Back then, the leaders of the Zhengyi Sect were defeated by the Red Gate Inn. Just the two of them could not be the evil opponents in the Red Gate Inn.
"Let's go." Lin Xiaofeng and Taoist Towel quickly fled to the edge of the woods.
As long as they enter the lawn outside, which is empty and endless, the corpse laughing monkey will completely lose its threat to the two of them.
Just when the two were about to leave the woods, the corpse laughing monkey appeared. With a strange smile on its face, it came to Taoist Towel at a very fast speed, and then laughed at Taoist Towel.
Originally, Taoist Master Towel was about to take action, but when he looked into the eyes of the Laughing Monkey, he quickly became glazed over.
Then, he laughed as if something happy had happened to him.
"Looking for death." Lin Xiaofeng kicked the corpse laughing monkey, sending the corpse laughing monkey flying and hitting a tree hard.
"Giggle." The Corpse Laughing Monkey showed a pained expression on its face, but it was soon replaced by a weird smile, and then it got into the woods.
"Ha ha."
At this time, Taoist Towel, just like Gu Lengyu before, held his stomach and laughed.
I didn't expect that when I was about to leave the woods at the end, I would be tricked by the Corpse Laughing Monkey.
Lin Xiaofeng's heart sank, and then he hurriedly thought of a way.
Regarding Gu Lengyu's death, although Lin Xiaofeng regretted not being able to save him, Lin Xiaofeng already disliked Gu Lengyu's character, so it was just a matter of death.
But Taoist Master Towel is different. He is highly valued by his master, and his character is not as sinister and cunning as Gu Lengyu.
Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly grabbed Master Towel's hand and shouted: "Brother Towel, wake up! Wake up!"
As he spoke, he slapped Taoist Priest Towel twice on the face, but Taoist Towel not only showed no sign of waking up, but instead laughed harder and harder, until tears came out of his eyes.
"What should I do?" Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and calmed down. There must be a way to save him.
