He stared at the centipedes in the temple. Legend has it that there were centipedes as big as iron pokers in the ancient temple in the mountains. If you catch one, you can buy it for a lot of money.
Unfortunately, old centipedes are shrewd and usually don't show up during the day. To catch old centipedes, you have to look for them at night.
It's night.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Yan Shi brought rotten eggs, iron tongs, lanterns, bamboo cages and other centipede catching tools, put on a torn sheepskin jacket, climbed into the pine forest, and went straight to the deserted temple. As soon as he entered the door, the deserted temple was cold and cold, and the moonlight shone desolately.
.
A centipede as big as an iron tong slowly crawled down from the beam. It was completely black, but its densely packed feet were red, making it look terrifying.
The centipede raised its head and hissed.
Suddenly, it paused, as if it had discovered something, and turned to look at a rotten egg in the corner.
The centipede hurriedly crawled towards a rotten egg. The smell of the egg was too tempting. Maybe the centipede had been hungry for a long time. It hissed wildly and picked up the rotten egg in one mouthful, devouring it.
The centipede tasted delicious, and the sound of chewing could be heard far away. He didn't even notice the iron tongs slowly approaching behind him.
"drink!"
Yan Shi roared loudly, and clamped the centipede's head hard with the iron pincers. The giant centipede hissed and swung its tail wildly, trying to break away from the iron pincers. However, Yan Shi pressed the iron pincers tightly and refused to let go.
The centipede finally gave out.
Yan Shi grinned and happily threw the big centipede into the bamboo basket.
The bamboo baskets are woven very finely to prevent centipedes from biting people.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and imagined how much money the centipede could be sold for, which would be enough to improve his life.
Moreover, Yan Shi was surprised to find that there were many ordinary centipedes in every corner of the temple. Hehe, they were all money!
"Hey, the people in the village are all idiots. There is so much money here that they don't dare to come. The timid ones will starve to death and the bold ones will starve to death."
Yan Shi picked up the centipede excitedly. He had three broken fingers on his right hand, so he could only clamp the centipede with his left hand first and help with his right hand, which was quite inconvenient.
But he quickly picked up many centipedes, and he didn't stop until the bamboo basket could no longer hold them.
Today's harvest was good, and Yan Shi was very happy. He hummed a song and walked briskly out of the deserted temple.
"Woooooo~"
Yan Shi propped up his ears, and heard whimpering and crying sounds coming from the silent pine forest. They were resentful, lingering, miserable, and sad.
Yan Shi's heart skipped half a beat in an instant.
By some strange mistake, he walked in the direction of the cry. In the middle of the night, fog suddenly formed in the pine forest.
Yan Shi held a lantern and walked slowly towards the depths of the pine forest. In front of him, in the mist, was a woman tied to a thousand-year-old tree. Judging from her figure, she looked extremely graceful.
"Help, help, brother~"
When the woman saw Yan Shi coming over, she cried even more sadly. She looked at Yan Shi eagerly, as if looking at her lover.
Yan Shi's wife had just run away, and he was living a lonely life alone. The woman's voice was beautiful, and Yan Shi's heart was beating hard and his mouth was dry.
"Girl, you, have you met a bad person?" Yan Shi walked forward as he spoke.
"Yes, I am the bad guy!" The girl grinned, her face covered with a layer of mist, looming, and her face could not be seen clearly.
Yan Shi was stunned. At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he could tell that something was wrong with the girl's words.
Suddenly, the fog dispersed, and the girl's face was completely exposed to Yan Shi's sight.
Seeing the girl's face, Yan Shi felt a chill from head to toe, his whole body was cold, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.
In front of him, there is clearly the head of a wild dog, with green eyes, fangs exposed, and saliva at the corners of his mouth.
Soon, a bonfire was lit next to the old tree.
Several wild dogs were surrounding the fire, turning their hands constantly. If anyone passed by this place, they would be frightened.
Wild dogs are actually grilling meat.
It's the kind of meat that's skewered and grilled until it's sizzling and oily.
The color of the meat was strange, orange, and the air was filled with a fragrant and sour smell.
Before the meat is fully cooked, these wild dogs can't wait to stuff it into their mouths, chewing it, and the sound of swallowing can be heard far away.
Not far from the bonfire, there was a pile of white bones with blood and a dead centipede. The centipede exuded liquid and soaked the bones.
Sunrise and sunset, spring comes and goes.
There are monsters in the pine forest, which look like wild dogs, eat people, and are good at imagining beautiful women.
No one in the vicinity dared to enter this pine forest anymore, and time flowed slowly.
One night, the moon was particularly round, and the liquid liquid dropped from the sky and landed in the mouth of a centipede. This centipede was highly poisonous, and even after lying in the forest for a long time, its body did not rot.
There is no wild animal willing to eat it.
Suddenly, the centipede moved.
It slowly raised its head and looked around confusedly. On its terrifying head, there were a pair of human eyes, filled with terror.
"Hiss, hiss~"
The centipede opened its mouth wide and wanted to shout for help, but unfortunately, the sound it came out was hissing~
After a while, the centipede finally gave up. It was dejected and slowly crawled into the depths of the jungle...
…
In the deserted temple.
"Lord Mountain God, there is a tiger monster outside the mountain who calls himself Huangshanjun." A wild dog with green eyes knelt on the ground and reported carefully.
The mountain god here is a centipede monster.
Likes to wear black clothes.
Named Yanshi.
This centipede monster has only been cultivated for a few decades, but it has become a great demon. It is stronger than those thousand-year-old demons. It is a terrifying mountain god.
Horrible, ruthless, cruel, and bloodthirsty.
The proud son of heaven.
Yan Shi slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were cold.
"Let him in."
The wild dog monster followed the order and left. After a while, a young man walked in. This guy was wearing a yellow shirt and holding a folding fan. He looked like a handsome young man in troubled times.
"Going down to Huangshan Jun again, I met the mountain god. I have heard that the mountain god here is extremely powerful, and Huang has always wanted to make friends with him." Huangshan Jun was polite and spoke politely.
"What's the matter?"
Facing Huangshan Jun’s enthusiasm.
Yan Shi was very cold.
Huang Shanjun was not annoyed, he waved his folding fan lightly and smiled lightly: "Huang has a big gift that he wants to give to the mountain god."
"Where's the gift?"
Yan Shi squinted his eyes and examined Mr. Huangshan. After a few words, he could see that Mr. Huangshan was unreliable. Apart from his handsome appearance, he also looked stupid.
In the winter, fanning a woolen fan?
"Well, to be honest, the gift is not here with Mr. Huang, but in the hands of a mortal named Li Jun. Li Jun, you must have heard of it, right?"
Yan Shi sneered: "The wanted criminal in the underworld, has he reached the boundary of Huzhou?"
"Yes, Li Jun is not only in Huzhou, but also uses the alias Li Xianshi to cheat and cheat every day. Tiger, are you angry?" Huang Shanjun stared at Yan Shi.
"Hehehe, Mr. Huangshan, you are so funny."
Yan Shi said coldly: "Why am I angry? Where does Li Jun have nothing to do with me? Do you want to provoke me to fight with Li Jun?"
"Don't worry, I can just live my life quietly as a mountain god. Why do I need to get involved in the feud between Yinsi and Li Jun?"
"Wild dog, see you off."
Yan Shi closed his eyes again.
Huang Shanjun was stunned. He did not expect that the mountain gods and city gods in Huzhou had already violated the laws of the underworld. It seemed that they had no choice but to use their trump card.
