Chapter 28

As far as I know, mandrill ghosts are mysterious and unpredictable. They are good at change, but they are afraid of the abnormal sound of firecrackers.

Speaking of this, I think of a little story told by master Yuanqiu to Jiang Yilong and me. It is said that in the ancient times, there was a very ferocious monster called Nian. Every new year's Eve, the animals will climb out of the sea to hurt people and animals and destroy the countryside. In order to avoid the scourge of Nian beast, every night of the twelfth lunar month, people close the door early, but they dare not sleep. They have to wait for dawn. Later, the Nian beast ran around to a small village. Almost all the people in the whole village were eaten by the Nian beast. He didn't want to meet several playing children. He was frightened to turn around and run away with the crackling of firecrackers in his hand. The situation of mandrill ghost is somewhat similar to that of Nian beast, but this is not a New Year Festival, and no one in Taoyuan village has prepared firecrackers.

Later, Jiang Yilong came up with a way. Since the mandrill ghost is afraid of noise, we will make some noise for him. Just like last night, in addition to everyone shouting, we will let everyone go home with iron objects such as pot covers and iron basins. As long as we knock hard, there will be a large number of people, just like beating Luo, drums and firecrackers.

Jiandao mountain is neither big nor small. However, if we want to search Jiandao mountain inch by inch and find out the successful mandrill ghosts, we are not enough alone. Even if we have ten times the number, I'm afraid there is still some shortage.

Although the method Hu Qingguo and I came up with was a little stupid, the key was that there was a bailing who was favored by God.

A large group of people entered Jiandao mountain. In addition to an iron object that can make a sound, each person held something like a long stick machete that can attack.

I said, "linger, do you smell it carefully?"

Bai Ling smiled and said, "in fact, I don't have to smell it. You should be able to guess where the mandrill ghost is hiding now."

"I, I don't know." I was stunned.

"Mandrill ghost is a monster that lurks in the daytime and rises at night. It is afraid of light during the day. Naturally, it hides in a dark place. As soon as the sun rises in the East, it will directly shine on the mountain directly opposite us."

After Bai Ling said this, I suddenly said, "Oh, I see. This mountain has been exposed to the sun for a long time, and it is Yangshan in the northeast and West. Mandrill ghosts like Yin. This is its forbidden area during the day."

Jiang Yilong said, "hey hey, even if you can guess the Yinshan behind it, the place is so wide that it's hard to find it without linger's help. Moreover, if you startle it and it escapes elsewhere, it's even more troublesome."

Bai Ling proudly stuck out his tongue and took a shortcut to take everyone to the Yinshan behind.

Along the way, we spoke with great restraint, just for fear of startling the mandrill ghost and letting it know in advance that the crisis had run away. It took us a long time to get around the Yinshan Mountain behind us. After walking for some time, we found a dead mountain pig in the dense forest. A monster bit a huge blood hole in the neck, sucked all the essence blood, and it was dry.

Fu Hongshan leaned up, looked carefully, and said to us, "he has just died. Otherwise, according to the current weather, the body of the mountain pig would have rotted. Even from the wound, I can't see what beast did it."

"Mandrill ghost did it." Bai Ling hurriedly said, "I can smell mandrill ghost on it."

Hu Qingguo said, "that's right. Besides, on this sharp knife mountain, mandrill ghost is the most powerful mountain king."

Bai Ling said, "it should be right ahead. It's coming soon."

Relying on Bai Ling's magical nose, we walked forward for a while. Then, according to Bai Ling's instructions, we locked one direction and immediately dispersed. At Bai Ling's command, everyone immediately surrounded us like a runaway wild horse.

This is a small slope, overgrown with weeds. Even so, we can vaguely see a cave among the weeds. The cave is very hidden. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to find.

Bai Ling said, "mandrill tastes the strongest here. It should be its nest."

As soon as she finished, I was filled with joy and knocked hard at the iron pot cover next to me. Others also beat and knocked hard. For a moment, the noise was deafening. But it's strange. It's reasonable that we knocked for a long time, and the mandrill ghost was afraid of the sound. He should have rushed out of the cave and ran away. However, this guy still hasn't made any movement until now, so it's difficult that there is another exit in the cave.

I thought so and said no.

Fu Hongshan knew it. He was brave. He took the guy in his hand and dug the weeds in front of the hole and went in. Within half a minute, Fu Hongshan appeared in front of us again. His face was disappointed and said, "the cave is not big or deep. You can see it at a glance. There is no other exit at all. There is a pungent smell in the hole and some hair lost by mandrills on the ground."

"Ran away? How could it be?" I looked at Bai Ling and said, "ling'er, smell it carefully."

Bai Ling Nuo nosed and smelled twice. For a moment, she looked to our left. When we looked in this direction, we vaguely saw a figure walking with his back to us in the deep mountains and forests.

One said, "which one is that?"

"Look at the back. It looks familiar."

Jiang Yilong said, "no, I'm afraid something will happen."

"What happened?"

"We made a special trip to catch the mandrill ghost today. We didn't expect the mandrill ghost to know in advance that he ran away. At this time, we don't know where he was hiding. And the man must be from Taoyuan village. If he was caught by the mandrill ghost, can he live?"

"Yes, you have to call him back quickly. Don't let the mandrill ghost hurt people again."

Several villagers stayed close to the cave to look for it carefully. Once they found the mandrill ghost's hiding place again, they would inform us immediately. We chased the villager who was walking with his back to us. Along the way, we shouted at him in a low voice. Perhaps it was because our voice was too small and depressed. He heard it at all. However, he walked faster.

"Hey, stand here. Don't go any further."

"Hey, that's you."

"Dog day, which one is this? Deaf."

"Run faster."

We followed the villager for a long time. Finally, we were blocked by the two people. Just as one person was panting and wanted to scold, when he looked at the villager, the anger on his face suddenly dissipated and replaced by surprise. "Eh, why are you?"

They all stopped, and we finally caught up by this time difference. But now, everyone's facial expression is almost the same as that of the villager just now.

"Grandma Yun, why are you?"

What appeared in front of her was grandma Yun. She looked a little flustered and anxious, as if she was in a hurry to go home. However, in the face of everyone's inquiry, she looked at the people, just smiled and said nothing.

"Why are you here? You didn't go to Chongqing with maozi."

"Eh, your feet are all right. Dog day, the ability of this hospital is too great..."

"Surround her." I suddenly yelled, startling everyone. "Surround and don't let her run away."

We are very puzzled, but an invisible circle has already formed. I looked at grandma Yun with a blank face and said: "You mandrill ghost, you have a great ability to change. You have been able to change people. However, you are blind to your ability to change. Unexpectedly, you ate a leg for grandma Yun last night, and then she was sent out for treatment and help all night. Now you don't know whether life or death. How can you be so healthy and alive?"

"She, she's not grandma Yun?"

"How could it be? It's a mandrill ghost. Kill it quickly."

"But it looks as like as two peas. It's a human being."

"I was a little confused just now. I'm still wondering. But now it's not simple. Just let it show its original shape." Jiang Yilong said and knocked the iron basin in his hand. "You knock too."

There was a clatter and four noises. For a moment, it was like firecrackers.

Just now, the cloud mother-in-law was still stable, but as the sound became stronger and denser, she hurriedly covered her ears with both hands, and her face was pale. Then she fell to the ground and rolled back and forth. After knocking for about a few minutes, the clothes on the cloud mother-in-law faded slowly under the condition of our naked eyes, and there were layers of black dense hair, and finally she fell to the ground The bottom became what we saw the mandrill ghost last night.

"It's really a mandrill ghost."

"Come on, get the net."

A fishing net covered the mandrill ghost with a knot. It made a strange roar. Its body kept struggling. The more it struggled, the tighter the fishing net became. I don't know who said to kill it. Several men suddenly rushed up and smashed the mandrill ghost with a hoe and stick in their hands. In less than a moment, the mandrill ghost's head had been smashed to pieces and blood Earth, I can't die anymore.

Looking at the body of the mandrill ghost, Liu Dafu suddenly said, "come on, give me a hand and carry the mandrill ghost back to the village."

I said, "uncle Liu, why are you carrying his body back? Just burn it here."

"There is such a cheap thing in the world. This dog day, who has eaten us and enjoyed us for so many years, turns out to be such a harmful thing. Besides, it has already killed one life, not counting grandma Yun. It is so cheap to let it die. Is it worthy of us?"

Bai Ling said, "uncle Liu, what are you going to do with the mandrill ghost body?"

"Easy, I'll cook and cook the mandrill ghost. Everyone has a share."

I was shocked, but I didn't expect that Liu Dafu's proposal was immediately echoed by the whole villagers and agreed.

It seems that this is true that evil people come from poor mountains and rivers and beasts come from deep mountains and forests!
