Chapter 9: The Stone Pavilion in the Deserted Mountain is full of Ghosts and Monsters
After Zhang Zhenren left, I didn't leave the village. Instead, I continued to stay in Zhang Zhenren's thatched hut and studied the Maoshan Mysteries that Zhang Zhenren had given me every day. Because he died to save me, I had to study the Maoshan Spells thoroughly so that his old man could be pleased. After all, Zhang Zhenren's whole life is just this one request, I must make him satisfied.
This stay, is two years. In these two years, I almost know the things in the "Maoshan Secret Art" in seven or eight. Of course, I was no longer afraid of ghosts.
In these two years, I and the ancient village villagers relationship is very harmonious, after all, I am a single man, planting vegetables and other things will not, all rely on the villagers to help. And the villagers appear point what is not good, also like to find me to help. Although I myself is still in the fumbling stage, but the villagers do trust me very much, or perhaps they this trust is to Zhang Zhenren.
Ancient village is very poor, two years without a change, once I asked them, have not thought out of this mountain?
At that time they are not care about the expression, I was very strange, so I asked, and finally they said: "Which young people would not want to get out of this mountain? But as you can see, we are here even the road is not accessible, can only stay in the mountains for generations. Carry on, just pity the waifs ah!"
Hearing this, I suddenly could not help but make a decision, I want to go out of the mountain, I want to make money, as soon as possible to come back for the villagers to repair a big road that can get out of the mountain! Yes, after all, Zhang * a * this * read * novel xstxt real people had said that I will have a hijacking after three years, now two years have passed, only one year left, I have to do a good job in this one year time, a meaningful thing.
Although the ancient village is not my hometown, but in these two years I have received a lot of favors from them, they are all kind-hearted people. Not to mention that this is the old home of Zhang Zhenren, as a disciple, I should do something for his old man. Accumulate virtue and do good deeds, Zhang Zhenren told me this sentence I have always remembered in my heart!
The day I left the ancient village, the villagers have been sent me out of the village, looking at their eyes of expectation, my heart of the decision to build the road even more firmly.
But I do not know whether it is not out of the yellow calendar, people have not come out of the mountains, I encountered a ghost!
Things are like this, from the ancient village and the outside world is separated by rolling hills, over the mountains of a hundred kilometers. This kind of mountain road is extremely difficult to travel, two years ago when I went into the mountains it took a full day. And this time I was alone, the road is not familiar, so I walked to the dark when I was still in the deep rolling mountains.
The mountains there are still primitive forests, dense trees to the already not too bright moonlight cover tightly.
At that time, I did not know my exact location, nor did I know whether I had taken the wrong road, not to mention how far away from the outside world.
Glancing at a large mountain blocking a short distance in front of me, I sighed helplessly and prepared to spend the night in the mountain first tonight, and then rush over the mountain after dawn. Because I just knew that I couldn't take any more chances of wandering around, in case I couldn't see clearly at night and took the wrong path, then there was a real possibility that I wouldn't be able to go around for the rest of my life.
Good thing it was a full moon, a round of bright moonlight hanging high in the sky, reflecting in the earth a pale white color. However, because of the high and dense forest, most of the moon was offered up by the branches and crowns of the trees, making the mountain road dark and not easy to walk.
In such a big night, walking in this kind of mountain forest wild road between, heart more or less some nervous, after all, this kind of environment gives people a kind of unsafe feeling, even if I am maoshan magician is also the same.
Walking fearfully for a while, suddenly the sound of people talking in front of me, I immediately felt strange, this midnight, in this deep forest how there will be people ah?
Curious, so hasten to speed up the pace, turn a corner through a clump of bamboo, and then saw that there is a stone pavilion in front. And in that stone pavilion, but actually sat two young people, and a beard white old man, and before the sound of that conversation is from them here.
In the old days, such as this road is very long mountain road, the first people will build this kind of stone pavilion and so on, the purpose is to can walk tired have a place to rest their feet, or used for the use of rain.
See this, I will quickly step forward, after all, in the middle of the night in the deserted mountains and forests have a companion heart will be more secure. But when I was near the front, the three of them are ready to get up and leave, so I hurriedly called out: "the front of the old brother, wait!"
Being shouted by me, those three people all stopped and turned their heads to look over to my side, only to hear one of the fatter looking men muttering, "Hehe, it's really lively tonight, in the middle of nowhere I actually encountered so many people."
"Three old brothers, are you all heading out of the mountains here as well?" I quickly stepped forward and asked them.
Another man with a bare head curiously sized me up and returned, "Yes, going out of the mountain."
Upon hearing that they were also going to leave the mountain, I was excited and said, "I'm also going to leave the mountain, it's really lonely to travel alone, why don't we do it together, or we can be a companion."
The bald man is amiable, smiled, nodded and said, "Of course you can, but now it is too late in the day, the night road is difficult to travel, so we are preparing to go to this old gentleman's home to temporarily live for a night, and so on tomorrow dawn we will go out of the mountain."
Hearing this, I realized that the old man with the white beard was not with them.
"Meeting is fate, it just so happens that you have company, the night is thick, the mountain road is difficult to travel, you will also follow these two little brothers to my home to spend the night." At this time, that old man reached over with a smile to greet me.
I nodded my head and gratefully reached over to shake his hand, but as soon as my hand touched him, I froze. Because this fucking old man's hand is cold to the bone, hold his hand, as if holding on a piece of ice like, no half temperature.
This is my heart began to feel wrong, hastily will be a finger on his wrist pulse above, and then found that it actually has no pulse.
Yes, it is "it", not "he", because I know that the old man I met is not a living person at all!
But, you ask me, if this old man is not a human being, is he a ghost? This I can not be immediately sure that he is a ghost, we must know that in the mountains and wild forests, anything is possible, which is why I walk alone in the heart of the reason for uneasiness.
If it was in a crowded place, such as a town, then I could be immediately sure that what I encountered was a ghost. But this mountain, in addition to ghosts, there are many mountain spirits and monsters will appear here, common tree spirit, stone spirit, of course, there are also things such as the earth fairy.
The so-called immortal, usually foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, rats and other things. Especially in the north these earth immortals are very famous, the so-called South Fox and North Horse, most of those out of the horse fairy are the horse brother of these immortals. They call the fox for the Hu Xian, weasel for the yellow fairy, hedgehog for the white fairy, snake for the willow fairy or often fairy, the mouse for the gray fairy, this is what the folk said "Hu Huangbai Liu ash" five fairy.
Although it is very likely that Earth Immortals will appear in this kind of deep mountains, I know that the monks and their encounter should not be Earth Immortals. Because the Earth Immortals all seek to cultivate into Immortals, although they are called Earth Immortals, they are not really Immortals, but just the honorific title that people give to them. If they want to cultivate into immortals they must do good deeds and accumulate virtue, so it is unlikely that they would have killed the monk's companion alive. That's why the Earth Immortal would take in so many disciples and horses, and use the identity of the Exodus Immortal to cross the world and save people.
Of course, the Earth Immortal is not a living bodhisattva, and the Earth Immortal can do just as much harm, but that's all because it's offended. Because they are generally very angry, and can make people's families die. (People try not to invite the Earth Immortals to protect their homes).
Although for the time being it is impossible to tell whether the old man is a ghost or a spirit, but one thing is certain, that is, he is not a person, but belongs to the Yin object.
And this old man with white beard in front of me, specially dragged me to his home, obviously has another intention. I knew in my heart that I was in trouble again tonight. Of course, there was no way that I would let this old man know that I could tell that he was here, but instead, as if I didn't know, I shook hands and made a bow to show politeness.
Then I looked at the other two men, one bald, fierce look, the other looks round and fat. My biggest worry at this time is that the other two men in front of me is a ghost or a person, at this time I am afraid that these two men are also the same goods as the old man, if this is the case, then tonight is a big trouble, a pair of three, how do you ask me to do ah?
Thinking of this, so I immediately made a test, and hastily reached out to the bald man to greet: "Hello old brother, thank you are willing to bring a little brother as a companion."
The bald man saw that I want to shake hands with him, also politely stretched out his hand, but as soon as I touched his hand, I put my lifted heart down, because from his hand I felt the human anger, that is, the temperature. You should know that anything that is not angry has no temperature, and is cold to the touch. This is why some people who are targeted by ghosts always feel that there is always someone behind them blowing cool air at them.
Obviously, the other body fat looking man was with the bald man, and since the bald man was human, the fat man wouldn't be a problem. But to be polite, I shook his hand as well.
The fat man is more enthusiastic, he said he was also two people traveling this night road, thinking of tonight in this stone pavilion camping one night, did not expect to happen to meet this old man, and the old man is good, invited the two of them to his home to spend the night. Now I meet me again, tomorrow out of the mountain can also have more people to talk to.
I hugged and smiled at him, thinking that you are not sure if you are in trouble. At this time, the old man laughed: "All know each other, then let's go, my home is not far ahead."
At this time, I can not easily reveal the old man is a ghost thing, so also pretended to know nothing, nodded and followed the old man.
