death of mountain god

Chapter 4 Dilemma

Trekking poles are still useful, and the delicate and frail anchor Cheng chased after him, and finally kept up with the pace, but when he looked up, the stone archway with roots under his feet was still in place, and he was immediately discouraged: "It's not enough to walk this far. , wouldn’t it be a ghost hitting the wall?”

Looking at the sore waist and weak legs, I'm afraid I can't avoid getting on the cable car. Zhou Li couldn't help crying, and then he made up the conversation: "What can I do, don't care about it, and by the way, I will tell you a secret of the ghost world. The reason why ghosts hit the wall and not I beat you because I can't beat you."

After a while, Zhou Li visually inspected the distance to the stele, and felt suspicious of Dou Sheng, who had been walking forward, but the stone archway on the mountainside had not changed at all. At the same time, the surrounding crowd gradually became quiet, and the children They also walked quietly, and the crowd around them became thinner and thinner. After a while, there were only three of them left on the mountain road.

Zhou Li was a little tired when he climbed up to this point, so he could only use his energy to deal with it. Looking forward, the stone tablet actually shrank into a black spot the size of a thumb. He quickly realized that something had changed the direction of the mountain road. .

The dark and damp atmosphere spread again, and Zhou Li cursed secretly, this is really a ghost hit the wall, if I knew it, I would go back to my house and not go up this mountain, and I silently glanced at Shen Yuntan, beautiful Misunderstanding!

He cleared his throat: "Everyone try to hold their breath, this smell is hallucinogenic."

Cheng Wenzhe didn't feel tired at this time, but felt ridiculous, his chest and back were sweating, and the feeling of his underwear sticking to his flesh was uncomfortable.

Once any smell reaches a certain concentration, it will become unbearable, Zhou Li's Adam's apple rolls, and a sour smell of spoiled food penetrates deep into the bone marrow.

Mobile phones usually have a compass function. Cheng Wenzhe made a quick move, but saw the red and white signs that should point north and south whirling around. He frowned and turned on the map navigation again. As expected, the positioning failed.

"This... this is ghost hitting the wall." He came to a conclusion in desperation.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's sit down here and see who can spend more."

Zhou Li suddenly remembered a story about a dilemma. The train was driving towards a fork in the road. There was a person on one side of the track, and a group of people on the other side. It seemed that the hoarse but gentle voice of the mountain ghost echoed in his ears: Tell me, which one do you choose? A rabbit, or these two innocent people?

He felt that his fate was particularly ill-fated. Fortunately, he chose a mountain that is famous all over the world. Being famous all over the world means that it is popular and can be suppressed, but unfortunately practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Practice has shown that at least some ghosts He is not afraid of people.

The surrounding fog was thicker and thicker, he grabbed Shen Yuntan's wrist, and said righteously: "Yuntan, you also hold Xiaocheng a little, lest monsters come to haunt us and separate us."

Through the mist, Shen Yuntan looked more and more beautiful. Zhou Li sensed his warm wrist, felt uneasy, and let go of his hand slightly, but Shen Yuntan held it tightly with his backhand without thinking, and someone whispered in his ear: " Why let go?"

This question made Zhou Li stunned. He seemed to have returned to the moment when he was asked by the teacher when he was a student. He was at a loss and his mind was blank. He could only give an ambiguous answer: "Ah? I don't know either."

He regretted it as soon as he said it, and the two of them were only a short distance away, he gave Shen Yuntan a sideways look, and explained: "The surroundings are too supernatural, I'm a little flustered, but judging by your calm look, you probably don't believe in ghosts and gods. "

Before Shen Yuntan could make a sound, Cheng Wenzhe suddenly exclaimed: "Shadow!"

Then tremblingly pointed to the northwest direction with his finger.

The ground was originally the shadow of a small pine tree, but it was only as tall as a person, but now it collapsed into a mass as if melted by high temperature, and slowly melted into a shape, and made a human shape like plasticine. Look at the standing pine tree , Where there is a tree, it is clearly a mountain ghost.

The mountain ghost held a dusty pine branch in his hand. The pine needles were extremely sharp, like thorns on a caltrop, and looked very heavy. He hung the pine branch and dragged it, making the sound of the pine needles rubbing against the ground intermittently. .

"Squeak--squeak--"

He asked innocently, "Give me that rabbit, please?"

Cheng Wenzhe closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and said loudly, "Isn't it a nightmare? Is this guy crazy or a monster..."

Zhou Li also admitted it, and replied honestly: "It should be both."

After speaking, he glanced at Shen Yuntan, and he stared at the mountain ghost expressionlessly. Could it be that he was scared to death?Zhou Li pushed him without warning: "Do you know what our situation is now?"

Shen Yuntan withdrew his gaze from the mountain ghost, and slowly stated: "This is a pine spirit. If he wants your rabbit, he should be threatening us now, or in other words, threatening you with us."

Zhou Li continued to ask softly: "Then what should I do?"

Shen Yuntan said: "Shouldn't we ask ourselves at a time like this?"

Cheng Wenzhe stared blankly at the mountain ghost, thinking from the origin of human beings to quantum mechanics, his heart was turbulent, and a sense of mission emerged spontaneously, even overcoming his fear at the moment.

Until a pine branch gradually approached his chest.

The mountain ghost pointed at Cheng Wenzhe, but looked at Zhou Li: "You will save him, right? You see how pitiful he is, with a thin layer of skin on his chest, and he died with a poke."

Zhou Li didn't change his face: "Spiders can make webs."

He has been planning this moment since the disgusting dank atmosphere filled the air. Apart from attacking, the spider silk can of course also defend.He tensed his body, flexed his fingers, and abruptly spread out a barrier of spider webs to protect everyone.

Suddenly a long-eared rabbit appeared, pulled Zhou Li's coat strap and jumped onto his shoulder a few times, uttering the words: "Mountain ghost, people can't be resurrected after death, neither can my flesh. White bones are something only gods can do, I'm not a god."

The mountain ghost was furious, and his expression suddenly became extremely sad. He suddenly lifted the pine branch and stabbed at Chen Yuan. In an instant, the transparent spider web sparkled like electricity, and the mountain ghost's pine branch could no longer move forward.

"I'll know if you try it." The mountain ghost's face was pale, and his blood-colored lips were dry and cracked, and suddenly he smiled at the rabbit, "Good things will be done to the end, gentlemen, please take it easy. "

Zhou Yue felt an earthquake, the flexible spider web trembled slightly, the center of gravity suddenly became unstable, the three of them staggered, the rabbit tightly hugged Zhou Yue's arm for fear of being thrown out.

Immediately afterwards, a gap was opened on the solid ground, the gap was about half a foot wide, and there were many dark shadows inside, as if countless ghosts and ghosts were hidden.

"Be careful, there's something in the ground—" Zhou Li only had time to say two words, before the words fell, countless fresh tree roots hanging from the soil burst out, dancing like living tentacles and launching an attack.

Spiders cannot weave airtight webs.

There are mountain ghosts outside and tree roots inside, Zhou Li is hard to guard against, he turns over and protects Shen Yuntan with his bare hands, while thinking about what other possessions he has in his hand besides spider silk, he winks at the rabbit to make him look at Cheng Wenzhe.

Cheng Wenzhe didn't say a word, he seemed to be still wandering in the world, his feet were rooted, and he didn't move. Zhou Li guessed that he was frightened.

Tree roots... tree roots... Zhou Li racked his brains and at the same time had to pay attention to the random tentacle attacks around him. After breaking off a weak tree root with his bare hands, a scratch was scratched on his palm. Gritting his teeth, he regretted that he didn't put the kitchen knife at home in his bag. The end of this mutated tree root was extremely sharp. There was a stabbing pain, and he fell to his knees suddenly, and the rest of the roots pierced his vitals like eyes.

It was too late to say, and soon, Shen Yuntan threw himself sideways, quickly lay on Zhou Li's body, smashed the tree roots wrapped around Zhou Li's right ankle with a punch, and rolled back in his arms——

Zhou Li's eyes flickered, and he took a closer look, and found that the ground where he was originally had been pricked into a sieve by a group of tree roots.

Chen Yuan is still in the form of a rabbit, her teeth are quite sharp, and she can bite off any tree roots in front of her without a doubt. His legs kicked towards Cheng Wenzhe's face, trying to make him move.

However, accidents always happen.

Cheng Wenzhe had been in a state of confusion before, but at this moment a sudden external force struck him, and he reacted suddenly, picking up the rabbit's hind legs and throwing it to the side.

Zhou Li's eyes fell on the side where the movement was huge, and he saw a white-haired rabbit lying on the ground with its ears hanging down and struggling non-stop. The surrounding tree roots were also startled by this posture, and they were stunned in mid-air moment.

The rabbit didn't expect him to behave like this, and immediately transformed into a little girl, touching her painful thigh and buttocks and cursing angrily: "How dare you throw your grandpa rabbit, you don't know what's good!"

Cheng Wenzhe looked at his right hand, then mobilized his nerves to look around the battle situation, pointed at Chen Yuan in disbelief and shouted: "Rabbit...rabbit spirit!"

Zhou Li was so exhausted physically and mentally that he wished he could faint on the spot.

The mountain ghost was sitting cross-legged outside the spider web, watching with relish, and suddenly clapped his hands: "It hasn't been so lively outside the house for a long time, please continue."

Cheng Wenzhe turned around abruptly, and finally realized the existence of the mountain ghost. After a moment of quickening his brain, he came back to his senses. He stretched his hand into his trouser pocket, took out a silver lighter, lit it and burned it directly to the roots of the tree.

Shen Yuntan threw a branch from the opposite side to help the fire, Cheng Wenzhe nodded slightly, and then ignited one end of the branch, bravely driving away the roots emerging from the cracks in the ground. Dancing like pain became more and more chaotic.

Seeing that there was something going on, he simply tore off a few sections of tree roots and lit them all, and handed them to the other three. Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and Chen Yuan tilted his nose and snorted to express that he didn't care about it.

Before everyone had time to burn wantonly, the roots of the trees retracted into the ground as if ordered.

The mountain ghost said in a deep voice: "I can't help you if you insist on wasting time like this, but do you really want to continue wasting time?"

Dusk is approaching, the popularity is thin, the birds are returning to their nests, and the layers of mountain peaks are also showing blue. The scenery alone is not lost, but Zhou Li and Chen Yuan looked at each other, and the secret is not good.

The night temperature in the mountains plummets, and it is not easy to survive without a military coat. This is the second thing. The most important thing is that the evil beasts communicate with yin and yang, and the mountain ghosts can easily summon the ghosts who died in the mountains. They have deep obsessions. , at night, the sparsely populated mountains are a ghostland on earth.

Who can find their way home without a guide?Finally spotting a rabbit that can take them home, and the ghosts swarming shoulder-to-shoulder have to eat it alive?
