It is said that looking at the mountain leads to death. Looking at Maoer Mountain from the foot of the mountain, it is actually not very big. After climbing up, I realized that the entire mountain is surprisingly big. At least it is impossible to climb over it before dark.
As the sky became darker and darker, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to navigate, people were probably worried that it would be dangerous to continue on the road, so people began to look for a place to camp on the mountain and planned to spend the night on the mountain.
There were not many people going up the mountain, so getting together was the safest option. At least if there was any danger, there would be someone to take care of them. So they all stopped and discussed how to camp.
No one cared about Li Mingyue at first, but they probably felt that the old Taoist who was with Li Mingyue had some abilities. If you have many capable people and strangers, you would have more protection, so a bearded man shouted to the old Taoist: "Taoist Master, do you want some help?"
Come over for something to eat?”
For the thin young man Li Mingyue, he deliberately ignored it. Li Mingyue didn't care about it, but the old Taoist was a little embarrassed.
It's definitely not possible to refuse. He weighs a few pounds. He knows better than anyone else that the clothes he wears are used to fool people. But if he wants to fool people, he still needs some heat. So if he wants to climb over Mao'er Mountain, he has to
Count on these people.
But if he just went through it like this and left Li Mingyue alone, he would feel regretful. Of course it was not because of guilt, but because he was afraid that the sesame was lost and the melon was lost. If this young man was really a master, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
When he saw this young man for the first time, he felt that although this young man was not old, he had extraordinary temperament, and he dared to climb a mountain alone. Old Taoists really didn't believe him when he said he had no ability.
After thinking about it in his mind, he said to Li Mingyue: "Little brother, how about we go over and sit down too?"
He felt that if Li Mingyue agreed, he must really have no ability. Just like what he said before, he was just in a hurry. If he couldn't lose face and insisted on staying by himself, then he would have some ability. After all, his life was at stake.
In comparison, face and other things are really not worth mentioning.
Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, Li Mingyue nodded directly and said: "Okay."
Then he walked towards those people first, causing the old Taoist to follow with an embarrassed look on his face, and smiled slightly at the man who shouted.
Two bonfires were quickly raised on the mountain road, which instantly dissipated the chill. The addition of Li Mingyue and the old Taoist made the atmosphere a little more interesting.
These people not only hope that the veteran Taoist can show off his magical powers at critical moments and protect them, but they are also worried that Li Mingyue will become a burden and drag them down. Therefore, the two people are treated completely differently.
Of course, these people were not stupid. During the conversation, they intentionally or unintentionally tested the old Taoist's background. However, this old guy was obviously an old man. He dealt with it calmly and without leakage, which made Li Mingyue secretly admire him.
These people seemed to know that they could not test the depth of the old Taoist, so they focused their attention on Li Mingyue. But when they saw that thin body and pale face, they could only sigh in their hearts and pray that they could spend the night safely.
What kind of danger should you encounter?
In the team, there was a little girl who seemed to dislike Li Mingyue, which made Li Mingyue feel a little baffled, but Li Mingyue didn't take it to heart. Master said that women are the strangest and most complex animals in the world. What do you think?
Nothing strange about it.
If it was just like this, that would be it, but there was a young man beside this little girl. Although he was carrying a sword, he was full of makeup. Every time he spoke, his soft voice always made Li Mingyue feel creepy.
At this moment, after the little girl whispered something to the young man, the young man walked towards Li Mingyue, pointed at Li Mingyue with a finger, and said with an arrogant look: "There is no more firewood, you go find it."
Bring me some dry firewood."
Li Mingyue frowned and said, "Why me?"
At this time, the little girl also came over, put her hands on her hips, and said matter-of-factly: "There are so many people, who is not better than you? If you really encounter any vicious beast, we have to protect you. What you are doing now is not what you should do."
?If you really don’t want to do it, that’s fine, just don’t come with us.”
Li Mingyue looked at the people around her. Everyone was looking at him. Although they didn't say anything, their meaning was actually written on their faces.
Li Mingyue had no choice but to stand up, patted the weeds on her body, and said, "Okay."
After speaking, he looked around and then walked towards the woods on the side.
Seeing Li Mingyue leaving, the little girl showed a scheming smile. After looking at everyone, she whispered something in the young man's ear.
Then the young man said to everyone: "I'll follow you over and take a look."
According to the girl's instructions, the young man needs to secretly follow Li Mingyue, and then pretend to be a ghost to scare Li Mingyue in order to have fun.
As the boy entered the forest, the girl waited expectantly, wanting to see the poor boy's lost expression.
But she stood there waiting for a long time and didn't see the lost Li Mingyue. Even the boy she sent didn't come back, so she couldn't help but frown.
Everyone seemed to feel that it had been a long time, so someone asked: "Is something going to happen?"
Someone else asked: "Do you want to send someone to take a look?"
At this moment, there was a sudden strange noise in the forest, and then a person suddenly jumped out. It was the young man carrying the sword, but he was so frightened that he couldn't choose his way out, and his already rosy face was as pale as paper. He wrote:
Full of deep fear.
Everyone was puzzled. They looked behind the young man and were immediately stunned. Under the firelight, a pair of eyes exuded a faint green light, which was breathtaking.
There were more and more eyes, and soon everyone was surrounded.
Everyone retreated continuously and soon gathered into a pile. Those who had weapons also took out their weapons and prepared to fight desperately.
Faced with this situation, the little girl's mind was still on Li Mingyue, and she asked the frightened young man: "Where is that guy?"
The poor boy was speechless and his mind went blank.
Looking at the boy's violently shaking body, the girl said coldly: "Trash!"
With a wolf howl, the pack of wolves directly attacked everyone, and everyone could only resist passively. In just an instant, someone was torn apart by the wolves, and the night sky was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood.
The smell of blood completely aroused the wolf nature, and the situation became more and more tragic. Fortunately, someone picked up the burning wood and temporarily forced the wolves back.
The forced wolves did not leave, but retreated for a certain distance and waited patiently for the flames to extinguish.
Sure enough, it was difficult to support a single tree, the flames were quickly extinguished in the wind, and the wolves swarmed up again.
Not far away, Li Mingyue was holding a bundle of branches, frowning slightly, hesitating whether to take action.
But at this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the bloodthirsty wolves suddenly became sluggish. Then they roared, retreated slowly, and soon disappeared.
Seeing this scene, everyone let out a breath of fear, but still remained vigilant and did not dare to make any carelessness.
In the dark, Li Mingyue squinted her eyes slightly, feeling a little weird.
He could naturally tell that the previous gust of wind was abnormal, but he couldn't tell exactly why it was abnormal, but his eyes kept staring in the direction where the gust of wind disappeared.
After confirming that the aura had completely disappeared, Li Mingyue walked out holding the branch, looked at the wolf corpse lying on the ground, and asked with pretense of confusion: "What happened?"
Because of Li Mingyue's movements, everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Mingyue. After confirming that there was no danger, they all breathed a sigh of relief and began to clean up the mess. They did not answer Li Mingyue's questions.
The little girl snorted coldly and asked: "Where did you die just now?"
Li Mingyue pointed to the branch in his hand and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you ask me to collect firewood?"
The girl was speechless and extremely angry.
Li Mingyue put down the firewood, walked to the old Taoist who was looking a little pale at the moment, and asked in a low voice: "What just happened? How could there be a wolf?"
The old Taoist glanced at the crowd, which was missing a few people, and said in a dry voice: "Wolves... there are a lot of wolves, but I don't know why, these wolves suddenly left."
When he said this, he seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at Li Mingyue suddenly.
It was strange that the wolves suddenly left before. Logically speaking, since the wolves had already hunted, they could not suddenly give up unless something scared them appeared. Li Mingyue returned just at this time, so he felt that the wolves were scared.
, it is very likely that he is this thin young man who looks very sick.
Just like a drowning man who suddenly grasps the life-saving straw, the veteran Taoist is extremely happy.
Probably wanting to establish a relationship with Li Mingyue as soon as possible, he lowered his voice and said: "After you left earlier, that guy followed you into the woods; but he probably encountered a pack of wolves halfway and ran back. So you still
Be careful, I'm worried they won't let it go."
Li Mingyue suddenly had a stunned expression on her face and looked at the girl not far away.
In fact, of course he knew that someone was following him. He had deliberately gotten rid of the boy before, otherwise the guy would not have led the wolves back alone. It was precisely because of this that Li Mingyue hesitated to come out before.
If that little girl hadn't done this, maybe the lives of those people earlier wouldn't have been in vain.
Li Mingyue said: "Thank you, Taoist Master, for informing me. I will be careful."
The old Taoist nodded, feeling heavy.
Regardless of whether Li Mingyue really had something to hide, at least he felt that he had done what he should do, and if he had to do anything else, he would try his best.
Now that someone is dead, he can't really be indifferent. But since he has chosen to climb the mountain and is here, whether he can leave alive or not depends on God's will.
At this moment, Li Mingyue's attention was still focused on the dark wind from before. He was really curious as to why the spirit on Mao'er Mountain helped humans.
According to common sense, don't all demons and monsters hate humans? And judging from what the old man said before, there have been quite a few passers-by who have been harmed by the Yin Spirit of Mao'er Mountain.
So he wanted to find an opportunity to find out and see what secrets Maoer Mountain held.
