The gentle breeze mixed with the fragrance of vegetation in the jungle, wrapped in the last ray of tenderness blown from the setting sun, like the gentle little hands of a girl, patting Xu Mo's face.
After opening his eyes this time, Xu Mo lay on the ground stunned for a full minute.
"Did I meet a ghost?"
There is absolutely no way that thing in the mountain temple is a living person.
He was strangled to death.
The mummy's hands were cold and cold. The moment he pinched his neck, all the blood vessels in his body seemed to be frozen. He couldn't move at all. He could only watch helplessly as the other person broke his neck.
This method of death is even worse than being eaten by a tiger.
Xu Mo couldn't understand, how could there be ghosts in this world?
There are so many unknown things here, such as huge tigers, mummies in mountain temples... these are completely beyond Xu Mo's imagination.
It's too dangerous.
You should never go to the haunted mountain temple again.
"To the west of the Bajiao Pavilion is the Shili Slope with tigers, to the east are cliffs, and to the north there are ghosts in the mountain temple, so we can only go south."
Xu Mo got up and headed south.
His speed was not too slow, because Xu Mo knew very well that the tiger must have discovered him.
But this time, nothing was found until the tiger caught me, or maybe because the time was too short, the walking distance was limited. In short, no matter whether you go south, or choose other directions, you will end up in a dead end, and there is no way.
May escape the tiger's pursuit. In the gentle breeze, Xu Mo opened his eyes again.
This time he didn't even bother to get up.
The last time I was eaten out by a tiger, the pain was unbearable. It took me a long time to die.
"You have to think of a way. If you really can't run away, you have to kill yourself. At least you can give yourself some happiness."
Xu Mo is completely out of ideas now.
Run, can't run.
beat?
Tiger or ghost, which one can he afford to offend?
Counting on the fingers, in the past six cycles, I was eaten by tigers four times, strangled to death by ghosts once, and fell off a cliff to death once.
If you think about it carefully, the biggest trouble is actually the huge tiger.
Because if you don’t take the cliff path, you won’t fall; if you don’t go to the mountain temple, you won’t be attacked by ghosts.
But a tiger, no matter what you do, it will pursue you relentlessly.
There is only one exception.
That time at the mountain temple, the tiger did not enter the mountain temple.
Is it because there are ghosts?
At this time Xu Mo suddenly sat up from the ground.
"Then can I use the tiger's fear of ghosts to find a chance of survival?"
Because currently, the east side is a dead end, and tigers will be chased on all sides and south. The only way to avoid tigers is to go north and enter the mountain temple.
If we could find a way to deal with the ghost in the mountain temple in advance, wouldn't the game be successful?
Xu Mo was a little excited.
Time was running out and he didn't have much time to think on the spot.
If it gets dark, the situation will be even worse.
Go to the mountain temple first.
I'll think of another idea on the way.
Xu Mo was familiar with the road this time. After all, he had walked the same road twice.
By the time he ran all the way up to the mountain temple, it was still bright and one-third of the sun was still left before it sunk into the hills.
Xu Mo recalled it carefully when he was on the road.
The ghost I saw in the mountain temple before, that is, the mummy, was not able to move at the beginning.
It was after the sun set and it got dark that the strange things happened later.
This shows that as long as it is still daylight, the mummy cannot be moved.
This is opportunity.
Xu Mo had a bold idea, which was to 'invite' the mummy out before the sun went down.
Let the setting sun bask in the sun, and maybe the mummy won't be able to transform.
Otherwise, it would be buried, but this might not be possible in time to dig a hole.
No matter how difficult it is, you can move further away.
Xu Mo really has no choice now and can only fumble around.
This time he entered the mountain temple and walked straight towards the mummy.
At this time, the mummy was indeed motionless.
Xu Mo bravely touched it, then with a sudden heart, he picked up the mummy.
Don't tell me, it's quite heavy.
The feeling of holding a corpse is definitely not a good one.
It feels like a large piece of wood carving.
As Xu Mo walked out, he muttered, "Boss, I have no choice but to ask you out first, otherwise you will choke me when it gets dark."
Panting, he ran two hundred meters away. Xu Mo found a flat stone, laid out the mummy, and then bowed seriously. Suddenly he heard the roar of a tiger in the distance, and then he fled back to the mountain god.
temple.
By now it was starting to get dark.
Xu Mo thought about continuing to run away, but again, he would never be able to escape the tigers in the mountains and forests.
Staying in the mountain temple may have a chance of survival.
At this time, Xu Mo looked at the place where the mummy was sitting, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Over there, there is a booklet.
New discoveries.
Xu Mo immediately went over to check. The booklet should have been pressed under the mummy's buttocks. If the mummy was not moved, it would never be discovered.
When I picked it up and looked at it, I found that the booklet was half a foot wide and half a foot long, and its texture was yellowed.
The cover page says ‘Piaoyun Essay’.
Piaoyun should be a name, an essay, something like a diary.
Xu Mo opened it out of curiosity and suddenly felt as if he had opened a door to a new world. What was recorded here was indeed some daily life. In addition to the local customs and customs, most of the contents were related to 'cultivating immortals'.
For example, this sentence says, "I walked to Zixia Mountain and quietly watched the rising sun and the purple air coming from the east. I knew there was an expert. I waited quietly. Sure enough, I saw a group of people coming on an ox. After seeing the ceremony, I asked about Liu An, a casual cultivator, and discussed the Tao with him.
In three days, I gained a lot, and I feel that I have taken a further step towards cultivating immortality.'
Another example is this sentence: "Swallowing the air in the swamp, eating the essence of the cloud valley, and living in the valley for three months. Although I am hungry, I am good at cultivating it. I seal my sword in the hut, cultivate my body, form relationships, spread good deeds, and do great good deeds!"
The meaning between the lines is probably about cultivation.
Xu Mo would believe it before he saw a ghost, not to mention that he had really experienced the corpse fraud, so he was convinced of it.
"Is this still a world of cultivating immortals?"
Xu Mo felt something was stirring inside him.
As a man, you will remain a boy until you die!
But when I thought of the big man-eating tiger, I fell silent again.
No matter how wonderful this world is, you have to live past tonight to have a chance to see it.
At this time, the sky was already very dark, and it was no longer realistic to read all the books. Xu Mo was thinking about a problem at this time. Taoist Piaoyun, that is, the mummy, since he is a Taoist who cultivates immortality, he should be quite capable, but he is not.
Died in this mountain temple.
So how did he die?
During the previous transportation, apart from dehydration and dryness, I also didn't see any wounds on the other party's body.
Besides, the mountain temple also belongs to the tiger's sphere of influence. Wasn't Taoist Piaoyun attacked by the tiger when he came? It's also strange.
Xu Mo quickly flipped through the pages. Since this book is an essay, there might be something at the end that Taoist Piaoyun wrote before he died.
Sure enough, something was discovered.
Xu Mo went to the broken window and read with the last glimmer of light outside.
The last few pages read, "I entered Zao Mountain on the third day of the seventh lunar month. I encountered a tiger and fought against him. I was defeated. Fortunately, his spiritual wisdom has been opened and he is eager to seek the truth. He has not eaten my body. He has been living in this place, preaching and teaching, and enlightening him."
The tiger is both a teacher and a friend!'
'The tiger is determined and determined, but my pursuit of truth is not as good as mine. I am ashamed, I am ashamed!'
Xu Mo's heart thought, Tiger Tiger, King of Mountain Beasts.
Isn't this a tiger?
The tiger mentioned in Piaoyun's essay is most likely the huge tiger outside.
Look back quickly.
Blank page, no further follow-up!
At this moment, Xu Mo felt the resentment of those readers who were halfway through pursuing the book but failed to find the author.
I wish the white knife would go in and the red knife would come out.
"Old Master Piaoyun, if you stop updating eunuchs halfway through writing, why not not write it at all?"
Xu Mo cursed.
It feels like I understand some things, but there are still many unsolved mysteries.
For example, after Piaoyun Taoist and Tiger became friends, what happened between them?
Also, how did Master Piaoyun die? Is it related to the tiger?
Judging by the way the body was dried, I'm afraid it must have been dead for a few years.
Of course, there is a lot of content in this essay that Xu Mo did not have time to read. It may contain answers that Xu Mo wants to know, and it is also very likely to contain some secret records of cultivating immortals.
What a good thing.
Put it away first.
Xu Mo directly held the booklet in his arms.
It was quiet outside. Xu Mo thought about whether to run away, but it was hard to make up his mind.
Especially knowing that the tigers outside are not simple, they are intelligent, and they also know how to practice. Isn’t this more sophisticated than a monkey?
To put it more bluntly, this is a tiger monster.
Maybe at this moment, the grandson is squatting outside and pretending to be Voldemort, waiting for him to go out.
In addition, since Taoist Piaoyun is dead, how can his body move? Is he still so vicious?
What happened to the lantern with green flames in the opponent's hand?
Xu Mo felt that he had only explored the tip of the iceberg. Obviously the water inside was deep.
At this moment, a tiger roar suddenly came from the forest outside.
Xu Mo hurriedly looked around and saw a green light flickering in the distance, accompanied by roars of tigers and the crisp sound of trees breaking, as if everything was in chaos all of a sudden.
"A fight started?"
Xu Mo squinted his eyes, secretly thinking that the opportunity had come.
