Chapter 83 Ghost Shadow Mountain Trail
Uncle Yang pointed outside and turned his head to look at us.
People?…My master and I rushed to the door at the same time.
"Where?" I asked.
"Where... Huh? Why is it gone again?" Uncle Yang scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face.
"Hu..." I breathed, "Uncle and Xiaoliangzi are worthy of being a family. Sooner or later, you will be scared to death by your shock. Where did the people come from in this wilderness? Could it be that we came to Wanjinshan and Gao Qien, and they appeared as soon as we arrived here? How could it be so easy?"
"Hey, you young man, why am I fooling you? I really saw someone..." Uncle Yang said anxiously.
I looked at the master, and the master thought for a while and said, "No matter whether there is anyone or not, let's go and take a look..."
Climb down this huge rock and we walked towards the direction that Uncle Yang pointed out before.
As the saying goes, running to the mountain to death is true. The mountain seems to be quite close to the distance, but when you really walk, it is really a distance. In addition, the strange rocks are abrupt and the vines are mixed, so it took a lot of time to walk to the foot of the mountain.
As mentioned earlier, this mountain is heading northwest and southeast, and the northwest, the higher the mountain is. We walked a long circle at the foot of the mountain, and didn’t even see a footprint. Who is there? No one is abnormal whether you use a compass to detect the magnetic field or judge Feng Shui by the environment.
Uncle Yang had always insisted that he did see someone flashing in this area for a moment, and at this moment he couldn't help but wonder if he was blurred in his eyes.
Back to the temple on the top of the giant rock, my master held me up. It took me a lot of effort to get the monument on it. It was indeed engraved with "Temple Builder Gao Qien", but there was no date. In addition, unlike the temple monument I discovered before, the word "Qi" in "Gao Qien" on this monument is not traditional, but abbreviated... This monument should have been carved in recent years. So, why did this Gao Qien make a fox fairy for offering it here?
The reason why Gao Qien worships the Great Fox Fairy is that it is said that his ability was inspired by the Great Fox Fairy. Now he is offering sacrifices to the Great Fox Fairy here. We believe that his purpose may be to pray for the blessing of the Fox Fairy... From this, it is conjecture that Gao Qien must have lived here forever. Maybe he is hiding here in some place now...
Now it seems that there is nothing like Cock Mountain at all, and that legend is purely nonsense. However, this is not important. What we are mainly looking for is Wanjin Mountain and Gao Qien...
In the afternoon, we first searched along the mountain to the southeast, but found nothing, so we turned to the northwest, and found that the sky was getting dark, without any signs of human beings living in it, nor did we see a house.
"That Gao Qien is not an old zombie. The reason why he lived for so long from the Ming Dynasty to the present was because he borrowed other people's life. So, in essence, his physique is similar to that of us. Since this is the case, he is like us, and he must eat and drink every day to survive. We searched for this afternoon and didn't see the water source. If Gao Qien lives in this mountain forever, he must be in a place close to the water source..."
"Leng'er is right, we all forgot this." said the master.
Just like last night when I was trying to find out where it is suitable for cooking, the master started to measure the water source. I saw that the Tianpan ‘Ren’ fell into the Qian Six Palaces, northwest. In addition, there is a dark stem ‘Gui’ in the palace. Ren is the upper water yang water, Gui is the lower water and Yin water. This shows that if you continue to walk northwest, there will be a water source.
In the afternoon, the clouds dissipated and the sky cleared. At this moment, as the sky darkened, the moon rose. The moonlight shone on the forests and mountains, giving people a cold feeling.
I continued to walk northwest for more than a mile, and suddenly, a stone-paved path appeared at our feet, winding and stretching towards a forest in front. This road emerged from under a large rock...
"Damn, how could there be a way out?" Uncle Yang asked in surprise.
I was also surprised. The two of them squatted down to check with their master, and the little fox also sniffed with their noses. The stones that paved the road had cracked and grass grew in the gaps. It seemed that the road had been paved for at least hundreds of years, or thousands of years...
"Let's go." The master stood up and said.
Following the road, we came to the forest. The trees in this forest are quite thick, standing in the moonlight, like hideous monsters. When we thrust the vines on the road, we walked out of the forest and suddenly heard the sound of water. Is it far ahead? The road was buried by the rocks that collapsed above. After a turn, we saw a waterfall hanging on the cliff. Under the moonlight, it looked like a silver satin.
This waterfall is composed of several waterfalls above. Below the waterfall is a mountain stream, which flows down the slope and into a cave below. There is no doubt that the place where there is water that Master had previously predicted is here. However, looking around, there are woods, and there are no houses. I held the stream water in my hand, and I drank it, which cooled down and penetrated my dantian, and felt refreshed.
"Xiao Zhang, do you want to go to that cave to take a look?" Uncle Yang pointed below.
The master waved his hand.
Although the entrance of the cave was quite large, it could be shined in with a flashlight. The closer it went inside, the smaller it seemed. The water flow had almost reached the top of the cave, and it was impossible for anyone to be there.
"His grandma, where will those bastards live?" Uncle Yang squatted to the stream and let out a few breaths. "Anyway, there is nothing to be anxious. If we can't find it, we will treat it as a trip. After walking for so long, I'm already hungry. Why don't we eat and drink first?"
The master smiled slightly, "Okay."
"Just eat here?" I said casually.
"Well, what's wrong?" Uncle Yang smiled, "Are you afraid of encountering a burning monster like last year? With your master here, what are you afraid of?"
Uncle Yang's words suddenly reminded me.
"Master, let's go and see if there is a cave behind the waterfall..."
When I arrived at the waterfall, I used a flashlight to shine from top to bottom. Although I couldn't see clearly, I could still tell that there was a mountain wall behind the waterfall. I felt disappointed in my heart. I casually moved the flashlight down. Suddenly, the light beam shone on something dark, and I suddenly felt energetic...
"Master, it seems that there is really a hole. I'll go over and take a look!"
When the little fox heard what I said, he jumped into the water stream first, swam over the water, and then went into the waterfall, and then disappeared.
I was about to take off my clothes when my master grabbed my arm.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
The master did not answer.
"No..." Uncle Yang said hesitantly, "I really got it right. Are there burning ghosts here?"
The master made a gesture, turned around, his eyes were bright, and he looked around.
Uncle Yang and I didn't even dare to show off our anger.
After a moment, the master whispered, "Stand and don't move, something is coming."
"Where?" I asked hurriedly.
“It’s near us…”
Why can't I see it?...I felt a chill in my heart. What could it be? Could it be a ghost?...At this moment, the master lowered his head, "Leng'er."
"What's wrong?"
"Look at your shadow..."
When I looked at it, I immediately felt so scared that my sweat came out. I saw that my shadow was very strange. Compared with the shadow of my master and Uncle Yang, I didn’t have a ‘head’. My body was upwards, and it was like a tree stump…
It seems that something is on the mountain wall high behind me. The moonlight casts its shadow and overlaps it with my shadow.
"Don't move." The master whispered, "It seems like this thing is targeting you, I'll deal with it..."
As he said that, the master slowly touched a token from his pocket, and took out a talisman paper with his other hand, quickly wrapped the token in front of him, and silently chanted the spell. I kept staring at the shadow that overlapped me, and suddenly, the shadow moved. At the same time, the master turned around and beat the token up, and broke through the air. With a "pitch", something fell down and thumped into the stream. The thing jumped out of the stream and ran away, jumped and jumped in the blink of an eye, and it looked like a person with a very long neck but no head...
"Where to go!"
The master pulled out the Seven-Star Sword and rushed over. The thing was fast, but the master was faster. He threw out the Seven-Star Sword with a "brush" and inserted it into the vest of the thing. As soon as the thing fell to the ground, the master came to it, jumped up, and stepped on it with his feet...
Uncle Yang and I rushed to the front and saw that this was a non-human thing. It had no head and had two adult lengths. The broken mouth was rotten and scattered. As we struggled, our neck was raised upwards...
"this…"
"It's a evil person," said the master, "it's artificially raised..."
The master tore open the rotten cloth strip on the ghost's body, and saw that it was not sure whether it was on its front chest or back. It pressed the five elements position and nailed five copper coins with long nails...
I wonder if the ‘people’ that Uncle Yang saw during the day was this thing.
The master gave it another one with the Yiqi Yin Talisman, then ignited the fire and burned it.
Behind the waterfall, there was indeed a cave, the entrance of the cave was very small, just for an adult to turn around. Lying at the entrance of the cave, I shouted the little fox inward, the sound was covered by the waterfall, and I could not hear anything at all. I was very anxious. The little fox had not come out for so long, and I don’t know if he had encountered any danger...
The more I climbed in, the bigger the cave, and in a short while, people could walk upright. While walking, I shouted at the little fox, and finally heard the little fox's screams. After a moment, the little fox came to us and rubbed against me intimately.
I don’t know where the cave was. After walking for a while, there were arching urns on the walls of the cave on both sides of the cave. Each urn was in charge of a little stone carving. The carving work was very rough and not the work of today’s people.
We are getting more and more strange. As the cave turns another turn, a light suddenly appears in front of us. Judging from the situation, the cave has come to an end. My heart is thumping, where is the cave?
Finally arrived at the entrance of the cave, I looked out anxiously, and was immediately shocked by the wonders in front of me...
An oval valley stands in the middle of a strangely shaped mountain. This mountain gives people the feeling that it is composed from top to bottom with several huge rocks. The overall shape suddenly looks like a chicken...
