Chapter 0185 rumors of the outbreak of animal tracks)
On the morning of that day, everyone came to the foot of a mountain. There was a place called "Dongxiang Town". The town was quite small and there were all kinds of shops. Shang Tianlin took Agou to the town to buy dry food and other necessities.
Guan Heng, Ruotao, and Tunguihu were looking for inns to stay in the west of the town. After finding a place to stay, Guan Heng gave the store a dozen goods and packed a floor of yards.
At this time, Guan Heng felt a little bored and led Ruotao out of the store to wander around the street. Ruotao changed into a newly bought white cloth skirt, with a scarf on his face, completely blocking the scary look of the ancient corpse. However, the copper chains on his wrists were not removed. When he walked, there were jingling sounds one after another, and Guan Heng had to let her use her sleeves to block his wrist.
Guan Heng asked at this time: "Ruotao, I gave you the bamboo slips I found in the fish belly. Have you understood the contents of it?"
"Young Master, half of the bamboo slips are drawn on the map, I can see this." Ruotao said in confusion at this time: "It's just that the other half carved some difficult words, which made me a little confused. I could only barely recognize the above four words, saying something like "Tianwu Chongbao"."
"Forget it, Ruotao." Guan Heng shook his head and smiled at this time, "Anyway, the bamboo slips in the fish's belly are also made in vain. Don't worry, just think about it slowly."
After hearing Guan Heng's words, Ruotao nodded. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a loud noise from the crowd coming and going on the street. Guan Heng and the others couldn't help but take two steps forward, wanting to hear what was going on.
I saw a woodcutter-like man in the crowd shouting: "It's true, I really saw that monster in the mountains. It was actually eating the flesh of a bear... It scared me to death."
Everyone present changed their faces when they heard this. They said, "The monsters of the 'fuzhu' are so rampant, it seems that our town will not be able to live in the future."
"That's right, the monsters are wandering around. It won't be long before this place will be flooded. While there is no family or people, let's go back to get some luggage and move as soon as possible."
As these people talked, they all scattered, and they all ran to the house like a stray dog, desperately running to the house.
Guan Heng was quick-witted and hurriedly grabbed an old man who ran slowly and asked, "Old man, why are you in such a hurry?"
The old man was caught by Guan Heng, shook his head reluctantly, and then said, "Young man, you see that you are from another place. If you are on the road, don't stay in this town. It's important to run away quickly."
After hearing this, Guan Heng was angry and funny, and he said, "Can I ask what this means?"
"Oh, you don't know that there is a strange thing that has been circulating in ancient times on the nearby plains." The old man sighed and said, "It is said that in ancient times, there was a white deer with four horns on the plains in Chongguo..."
According to the old man, the four-horned white deer is called "Fu Zhu". It is snow-white all over, taller than 100 feet tall, with a huge body. It is originally gentle and never easily fights with other people or monsters. Many tribes regard the Fu Zhu Bai Zhu as a god.
However, a monarch from a small country attempted to capture the white deer and imprison it for himself. After pursuing and intercepting it, the demon deer was seriously injured. It fled to the edge of the cliff and whine. In order not to be captured alive, the demon deer fell off the cliff and died.
But that night, a white deer, a husband who was very similar to that before, ran away from the capital of the small country. The demon deer roared and screamed strangely. Countless floods rushed around, swallowing the capital of the small country in an instant. None of the king and all the subjects were spared to be drowned.
"From then on, the demon deer of Fuzhu will appear around the villages and towns in the nearby plains for decades to more than a hundred years." The old man said with a frown at this time: "Four-horned white deer - Once Fuzhu appears near a village and town, that place will definitely be hit by floods, without exception."
"So that's the case?" Guan Heng thought to himself after hearing this sentence: "When he rushed here yesterday, Ruotao said that Qinghuang's bamboo basket suddenly flashed with colorful light, which means that there may be traces of remnants of souls nearby. If the remnants of souls would choose a powerful host, I believe that "Hushang Deer" is a good target, so it's better to go and take a look now."
"Young Master..." Ruotao came to Guan Heng and said, "I'm very curious about what that husband Bai Lu looks like, otherwise, let's go and have a look?"
"Aoao." The Tengguihu who followed the two also roared softly, as if he had the same meaning. "Okay, but I have to explain to Tianlin and the others."
After saying this, Guan Heng took out a blank bamboo slip and carved several images on it, which roughly meant to tell Agou and Shang Tianlin where they were going, let them wait in the inn, without worrying, and then let the Qinyuan tiger bee accomplice to find Shang Tianlin with a gust of wind.
After the tiger bee sent the letter, they would stay. Anyway, there were Ruotao beside Guan Heng, the ghost-swalking tiger and the five ghosts. In this way, Guan Heng and Ruotao asked about the nearby townsmen and found out where the hills and woods often appear in which the demon deer often lingers, they hurried over.
When we arrived seven or eight miles away outside the town, Guan Heng and Ruotao climbed over two earth slopes and entered the largest dense forest nearby.
"Young Master, look." After walking in the forest, Ruotao pointed to the ground in front of him: "That's a dead bear, so big, I'm afraid that even if it's a small one, it weighs thousands of pounds, right?"
"Well, and the body of this bear corpse has been gnawed, and the heart, liver, lungs, and intestines have been eaten all over." Guan Heng walked up to look at it and said, "It seems that the guy who hunted this bear is the demon deer. I really didn't expect that this four-horned white deer was not a vegetarian.
"Hehe, young master, who are the monsters we encountered along the way just eating grass?" Ruotao laughed at this time: "Swallowing flesh and blood seems to be a characteristic that all monsters cannot change. Are you right?"
"Well, obviously you're right. Look, another group of monsters who want to swallow flesh and blood are coming."
As soon as Guan Heng finished speaking, a sudden rumbling sound came from the jungle. Then, "Soon!" There were ten, seven or eight monsters with foxes and wolves, white tails and long ears. When Ruotao saw this thing, he immediately said: "These seem to be... the 'Zhu' we encountered before."
Just two days ago, Guan Heng and others encountered this small monster called "Zhu Ju". Although they were not big, they were extremely aggressive.
