Chapter 131 The Beast Guarding The Spring
In the deep mountains of Dieyun Mountain, there are dense jungles and rugged mountain roads. It is easy for people to lose their way in the mountains.
With Xiao Wu as a guide, the three of them walked smoothly at first. They were all on the herb-collecting mountain roads that everyone often walked. However, as the road got farther and farther, neither Luo Chen nor Lu Xiaobai could tell which direction they were going. A forest of trees, completely submerged in the trees of the mountain.
The rugged footing made it difficult for the three of them to walk. There were almost no smooth roads in the mountains.
It was already sunset, and it was getting darker in the mountains. Xiao Wu turned on his flashlight to illuminate it. He seemed to be more anxious to find the longevity spring than Luo Chen and the other two, to prove the strangeness he saw.
"A long time ago, it is said that the longevity spring was discovered by a monk. After drinking the spring water, he ascended to immortality on the spot. In order to protect the spring water from being used by people with malicious intentions, he raised a ferocious beast to guard the spring water. .”
"Do you have any other legends about immortality here?"
"Yes, there are many legends in southern Xinjiang. Every village has a few of them, such as immortal magic and Feng Shui magic. Most of the legends in Gumu Village are related to immortality. I remember hearing a legend when I was a child, saying that... Let the dying live again."
Luo Chen was stunned, "Is there really such a legend?"
"We don't know whether it's true or not. We've never met anyone living in the village."
Luo Chen asked, "Are there any strange people living in seclusion near your village or in this mountain?"
"I've never heard of how people can live in this big mountain. Living alone in the mountains is a problem even with food and accommodation, let alone all kinds of snakes, insects and wild animals. There are many venomous snakes in the mountains."
With that said, Xiao Wu took out a pack of medicine, which was prepared antidote powder. If he accidentally encountered a poisonous snake, he could rescue him in time.
Luo Chen's attention is no longer here. He just wants to know what the legend is like that allows people to live again.
At this time, Xiao Wu stopped and split a few branches blocking the road with the hatchet in his hand. He scratched his head and wondered, "I got lost here last time, but I remember which way I went after that." It’s unclear.”
"You are from the mountains, don't you remember the road?"
"Mountain roads are difficult to walk. Even mountain people will lose their way if they go to the wrong place, especially after dark when there is no sun to judge the direction."
Luo Chen said: "If you are worried, we can go back now."
He didn't care about the Longevity Spring or anything like that. He wanted to go back to the village and learn more about the legend of living again.
Xiao Wu didn't seem to want to go back, "Just go this way."
He chose a path, and it was pitch black ahead. It was already completely dark.
Lu Xiaobai, who was silent, suddenly asked curiously: "You said you saw the longevity spring and were attacked by the guarding beast. What did that beast look like?"
"It was dark at the time, so I couldn't see clearly, but I can be sure that the beast was huge. Its arms were as thick as a tree. It's not something you can find in our mountains."
"How did you escape?"
"I was scared at the time and thought I was going to die there. The beast just roared at me and scared me away. I accidentally fell down the hillside and was injured. I guess the beast would not hurt people easily, it was just to scare people. "
The sultry heat in the mountains made Luo Chen and Lu Xiaobai sweat all over their bodies, and their clothes were completely soaked. Occasionally, unknown flying insects would land on them. Fortunately, Lu Xiaobai was prepared and wore sunscreen. The jacket is thin and has black stockings on the lower body, so you will hardly be bothered by mosquitoes. It’s just that it’s a little hot and makes you sweat more.
Seeing that the two of them were a little embarrassed, Xiao Wu suggested taking a break. He took out some food and water from his bag, and everyone replenished their strength. He also said confidently: "I feel like I may be able to find it this time."
"Why?"
"Because the path I took this time felt the same as the last time I got lost. The surrounding branches had not been cut down and were all new paths."
People who walk on mountain roads will be equipped with hatchets to cut down the messy branches blocking the road at any time.
"What does Changshou Spring look like?"
Xiao Wu was excited, "It will shine."
"Glow?"
A person, lost on a mountain road at night, suddenly sees a pool of water glowing. You can imagine what a strange sight it is, but Luo Chen feels that Xiaowu probably had a hallucination after getting lost.
After resting, the three of them continued on the road. This time they walked a long distance. Both Luo Chen and Lu Xiaobai felt tired. Their calves were sore and weak and they could not exert any strength. It was the first time to walk such a long mountain road. For two inexperienced people, Say, it's a big test.
But Xiaowu himself became more and more excited. He said that he could really find it this time because the road was becoming more and more familiar.
"Look, the trees here are very thick, which means the trees in this area are very old. There are a lot of weeds on the ground. No one has been here."
As he was walking and introducing, he suddenly stopped.
Because not far from him, there was a pair of white bones of a wild beast. When he squatted down warily, he signaled Luo Chen and Lu Xiaobai to come over and whispered: "Look, these bones are the ones I encountered last time, intact. It’s here and no one has touched it.”
This is a signpost.
"Is the longevity spring nearby?"
"That's right, let's keep quiet and approach slowly."
Xiao Wu gasped excitedly, squatting down and leading the two of them forward quietly. There was another thick bush in front of them. The night became pitch black and nothing could be seen. Luo Chen could imagine how difficult it would be to get lost in the mountains at night. It's a very desperate thing, because people almost lose their sight.
At this time, Luo Chen suddenly saw a beam of light. He thought he had seen it wrong, and Lu Xiaobai also looked surprised.
A light indeed flashed from behind the thick tree, and Xiao Wu fell directly to the ground, "Don't move, we are here, the monster is also nearby."
"What kind of monster is it?"
Luo Chen also lay on the ground, but out of curiosity, he quietly crawled towards the light source. Does the longevity spring really exist? If it's true, maybe it has something to do with him.
If you drink the spring water, you can be reborn when you are dying?
"Brother Luo, stop moving."
"Don't worry, I can protect myself."
Driven by curiosity, Luo Chen kept crawling forward, and finally arrived at the foot of the strongest tree. He quietly poked his head out, and a faint light made him open his eyes in shock.
Behind the tree is a pool of stones. There is a strange light in the water, which seems to be a firefly guiding the way in the dark night, which is unbelievable.
Is there a pool of spring water hidden in the mountains? Is longevity spring real?
Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly crawled out from behind the stone. Yes, it was crawling. The body of the black shadow was as thick as a big tree. Outside the body were densely packed legs and two long tentacles.
Centipede!
Luo Chen was stunned. The monster guarding the spring turned out to be a giant centipede as thick as a tree.
