Chapter 1096: Weird Events at Zhonghuang Mountain (12)
Su Wu picked up a bowl of soul-collecting rice, neatly sealed the 'little-footed old lady' hanging on the fishhook and threw it aside.
His "six-eared macaque's consciousness-deified form" has been fully revealed, and his merits have been completed. Now if he can practice the method of "watching fire and offering sacrifices to gods", he must first get rid of the "six-eared macaque"'s consciousness-deified form.
However, after taking off this spiritual form of consciousness, Su Wu will most likely lose the ability to sense the 'Liu Er Gui Xie - Xiyi World'. Only after achieving the 'Yuan Shen' can it be possible to gather all the magical powers of the past forms. .
Therefore, Su Wu was not in a hurry to sacrifice the recently caught Li Gui to his own spirit, but instead sealed them all in the Soul Receiving Rice.
After waiting for oneself to pass through the six-eared ghosts and monsters, and then use all kinds of cruel tricks to sacrifice the spirit, it is not too late to practice the second way of consciousness and transformation.
He lurked in the shadows and observed the reality presented in the shadows.
In reality, in the house that was previously haunted by the 'little-footed old lady', a half-hundred-year-old man with frost-white temples took off the hunting bow on the wall, adjusted the bow arms, and tied the bowstring.
He put the hunting bow on his back, picked up a pot of arrows from the corner and placed it in the basket next to him, and put a short ax on his waist.
The old wife folded a few pieces of clothes and wrapped a few cakes, and put them all in the basket. She helped lift the basket to make it easier for the bent husband to carry the basket.
After doing these things, the two walked outside the house.
As for this moment, there was finally some verbal communication between the couple.
"Don't be brave.
When you are older, if you can avoid getting involved in some things, then don’t get involved.
Those young men in the city don't know how high the sky is, so they come to Zhonghuang Mountain to watch the excitement. Just follow them honestly. If you encounter danger, take care of your own life first!
——Our third son still has to rely on us to build him a house and get a wife! "The old wife asked her husband earnestly.
The man nodded silently and didn't know what to say. After his wife finished speaking, he said: "I set up several rabbit traps in 'that place'. Will you go and see if you can catch any rabbits tomorrow?"
Once caught, they would bring the rabbits back, kill them for meat, keep the skins and sell them, and rearrange the mechanisms there.
If you don't catch it, just leave the trap as is. "
The old woman agreed and sent her husband to the gate of the courtyard: "Okay. You don't need to tell me so much. I already know how to set up the trap.
Who will you keep company with later? "
“It’s still the same old guys.
Wang Eryong, Ren Tuer and others. "
“Just a few of them.
You have always worked together as a team, and you are both familiar with the roads in the mountains. If something happens, you can rely on each other.
I heard that the man from the family named Tian in the neighboring village was also summoned into the mountains by the young master a few days ago. Yesterday, he was sent home with only his amputated fingers. Not to mention the whole body, not even a head was left... Things are very dangerous in the mountains this time. You and your elders have to greet each other, but don't be stupid and move forward after being coaxed by those young men with a few copper coins!
Young people can't run away from such evil things, let alone you old arms and legs! "
"Okay. I know what's going on, so you can rest assured.
Bald is coming, I have to prepare to leave. "The old hunter turned his head and watched a tall, thin man dressed like him and of the same age carrying an iron fork and walking to the entrance of the courtyard. A smile appeared on his face and he said to his old wife.
When the tall and thin old hunter heard what he said, he touched the top of his bald head and smiled and cursed at the old hunter: "You are only bald, and you still pronounce my nickname after so many years!"
The old couple standing at the entrance of the courtyard laughed when they heard this.
"Where's Brother Yong?
Will your eldest brother and Brother Sun Qi come today? "After the old woman laughed, she asked 'Ren Tu'er' her concerns.
Ren Tu'er pursed his lips towards the path ahead and said, "Isn't Er Yong here just now?
Brother Sun Qi has already agreed, and he will definitely get it today. I'm not very clear about my elder brother's situation. He's been in poor health recently and is always sick. My sister-in-law probably won't ask him to go into the mountains. "
While talking, 'Wang Eryong' also arrived at the door of 'Hu Orion's house.
He winked at Hu Orion and Ren Tuer, and said, "I recently asked someone to make a few more animal traps. When I get to the mountain, I just put the traps on them. I will be able to increase my income in a few days."
"The situation in the mountain is dangerous now. It is said that some kind of scripture written by Nuwa Empress has appeared on a mountain wall, and the Ligui who were suppressed by Nuwa Empress at the foot of Zhonghuang Mountain have also begun to show their faces.
In the family named Tian in the next village, the man went into the mountains a few days ago. Someone went to her house yesterday and brought back one of his fingers to the woman!
There are many evil spirits in the mountains now, so don't take any chances.
Wait until the matter is over, and then find a way to earn it! " Hu Lihu's old wife hurriedly tried to persuade that 'Wang Eryong', but she was so confused by the word 'Wang Eryong' that she nodded in agreement.
Although people often say that human life is bigger than heaven and that life is more important than anything else, in fact, sometimes, people can often risk their lives for money.
If it weren't for money, why would these old hunters, who are nearly 200 years old in total, take the big risk and go into Zhonghuang Mountain?
Four old men were chatting in front of the yard, waiting for their companions who had not yet arrived.
Not long after, 'Brother Sun Qi' also came over.
When a few old hunters were preparing to set off, another tall and thin figure, an old man who looked fifty-six times similar to 'Ren Tu'er', walked out of the diagonal path, carrying various tools on his back. Greeting Hu Lihu and others: "Wait for me, wait for me!"
The four hunters who were about to set off looked a little surprised when they saw the tall and thin old man.
Hu Orion first looked at 'Ren Tu'er' and asked him: "Didn't you say that your eldest brother has been sick recently and shouldn't go into the mountains?"
Ren Tu'er opened his mouth and looked at the approaching 'brother': "Brother, are you feeling better? Don't run into the mountains before you feel better. Things are serious this time!"
"It's okay, I'm almost fine.
Don't worry, don't worry! "Brother Ren" patted Ren Tu'er on the shoulder and replied with a smile, "I have been idle at home these past few days, and I feel like all the bones in my body are getting rusty!"
Just take this opportunity to stretch your muscles and make some money! "
"You still don't want to be idle at home?
A few days ago, you told me that you wished you could lie in bed for three to five days and have a good rest.
You've only been resting for two days and you feel like your bones are all rusty? "Ren Tu'er looked at his eldest brother in disbelief. He knew very well his eldest brother's nature. He has always been a master who can lie down but never sit down, and can sit down and never stand.
If it weren't for the fact that when the family was separated, his parents favored the eldest son and left him a strong family background, the eldest brother would have lived a life of separated wives and children long ago due to his lazy temperament of spending three days fishing and two days drying nets.
"You don't have to worry about it!"
Boss Ren waved his hand and refused to answer his brother's probing questions.
Seeing this, the other hunters smiled knowingly and said nothing more.
——Most likely, Boss Ren wanted to be idle at home, but his wife beat him out.
Ren Tu'er looked at his eldest brother's face in confusion - it was true that his eldest brother was lazy, it was true that he was seriously ill this time, and his sister-in-law forbade him to go out and walk around, but why now this eldest brother looked rosy and in good spirits, completely different from just now Looks like you've been seriously ill?
Could it be that the eldest brother's sick appearance before was just an act?
Ren Tu'er was puzzled.
Boss Ren glanced at his 'younger brother'.
But it was impossible for him to explain to the other party that he was not Ren Tuer's eldest brother at all.
——His identity is self-evident, it is Su Wu who had been hiding in the shadows and eavesdropping on the conversations of several hunters!
"Everyone is here, let's go!"
"Let's go, those gentlemen are waiting in the village ahead.
If you go late and miss it, people won't give you any money. "
"Okay, let's go now..."
"Let's go, old sister-in-law."
"Be careful, you must be careful!"
Everyone carried their bags and headed for the road ahead.
