Chapter 286
Scarlet robes...
This kind of description is hard not to remind people of the dust that year.
In addition, Xie Wen also mentioned just now that when he didn't return to the mountain for a long time, he just stayed in this mountain depression for a while. But when I smell it, I feel a little strange——
According to the meaning of the words of these people in the temple, the reason why there are rumors of mountain ghosts in this wild mountain is because the lights on the mountain have been lit more than once, and it seems that people will settle there every few years.
Are those...all dusty?
In the cognition of their relatives and disciples since they were young, if Chen Bubu goes down the mountain alone, he must go to untie the cage. After untying one, he will go to the next one. place.
If he comes back soon, the world will be peaceful and there will be no big cages. If you don't return for a long time, it means that the current situation is in chaos, and there are too many suffering people who have passed away suddenly.
This is just as self-contained as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. No one ever thought much about it, and no one ever doubted it.
Even when I heard it, I just stood on a tall pine branch every day and looked at the end of the mountain road. Or when no one is paying attention, throw a few wooden branches, and use the method of supporting the spirit to calculate where the person has gone and how long it will take before returning to the mountain.
...
Now that I think about it, maybe there are still some things they don't know.
"How do you know that the shadow you see is a mountain ghost?" The people in the temple added some dry wood branches to the fire, and they were still talking about those words, "Wearing red clothes is fine? Maybe it's someone passing by to rest, Just like us."
"That's the truth." The other person might be timid, not willing to believe the rumors of mountain ghosts, and echoed: "It rains and fogs a lot in this area, and there is a lot of snow in winter. It lasts for several days, and it's difficult to travel by horses and horses. It is common to be trapped in this mountain. Even if it is you and me, a walk in the mist can scare a lot of people. I reckon this is how the rumors of mountain ghosts come from."
The older man let out a "tsk", waved his hands and said, "You guys... for a person like me who has been away all the time, if I can see a person and call it a mountain ghost? There must be something else!"
"How to say?"
The fog in the mountain depression is getting thicker and thicker, and there is a damp smell in the air. The firelight of the Earth Temple became a little hazy in the fog, like dancing will-o'-the-wisps.
The man lowered his voice and said, "The day I saw the mountain ghost, when it was almost dawn, it was about the same as this moment. I heard the ghost crying!"
"real or fake?"
"It's absolutely true! A lot of people, young and old, mixed together, that voice, don't mention how scary it is! Just one voice, vaguely coming from over there—" The man's shadow fell obliquely on the ground of the Earth Temple On the ground, bent into a twisted path by the threshold, he pointed to the depths of the valley with his hand, "I never dared to close my eyes again."
Ghost cry?
This made me think of something...
After all, when he was a child, he was haunted by mortal fate, and he heard countless ghosts crying together.
He vaguely touched the door, and was about to ask Xie Wen beside him for confirmation. Then I heard the people in the Earth Temple speak again——
The mountain was exceptionally quiet, and the other people in the temple seemed to be engrossed in listening and kept silent. So only the old man's hoarse voice remained in the whole mountain: "Not only that, but also—"
"Also, it is said that when mountain ghosts appear, they cannot go into the mountains with others." The voice said faintly, "Because the roads in the mountains will become very strange, and they often walk..."
"...you'll find yourself alone."
The moment the voice fell, three human faces protruded from the door of the Earth Temple, staring at Wen Shi with dull round eyes, without blinking.
When he heard it, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the puppet lines between his fingers stretched.
With one hand in front of him, the fierce wind formed a vortex around the thread. The other hand went to grab the person around him, but only caught a cloud of wet mist.
"Thank you for asking?!"
When I heard it, my heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly turned around, and there was nothing around me.
Not only Xie Wen, who was standing side by side with him, but also Xia Qiao, who was half hiding behind him, and Zhang Biling, who followed him, disappeared.
As the people in the Temple of the Earth say——
Walking and walking, before he knew it, he was the only one left.
From the corner of my eye, the three shadows suddenly elongated!
Those three human faces came close to Wen Shi suddenly, their necks were like white snakes, their mouths also grinned to the ears, and a hissing sound came out from inside.
Seeing the three bright red long letters about to lick his face, his expression turned cold when he heard it, and he yanked it with his backhand——
Hearing the sound of "buzz", dozens of puppet threads swept across, whistling through the dense fog and mountain wind, and wrapped around the snake-like neck.
In the next moment, their bodies were separated and they were divided into several families.
Blood mist sprayed out, and the smell of iron rust suddenly permeated.
Those weird heads and necks fell to the ground with a rustle, and turned into a black swamp in the blink of an eye, spreading rapidly. Devouring the vegetation in the mountains, he arrived at Wen Shi's feet in an instant.
It is indeed Zhang Dai's cage.
Even these things carry the shadow of "Hui Gu". It reminds people of Zhang Dai wearing the skin of his younger generation, crawling like a spider in those turbulent black mist.
I was disgusted when I smelled it, and I didn't want to touch a drop. With a look of disgust on his face, he sprinted back a few feet away from the swamp.
After stepping aside for a while, Wen Shi controlled the puppet thread, trying to disperse the sticky swamp. However, the swamp suddenly slowed down the speed of spreading.
