Chapter 11 Bat Grimace
A ravine, separated from north and south, looked at the opposite side, reminding people of terrifying skeletons all over the ground and creepy giant rats. They couldn't help feeling disgusted, which formed a strange contrast with the rich fragrance of fine porridge coming from the moment. I could no longer help but get hungry and get up from the account.
After listening carefully, the sound of clamoring came into my ears, and I looked forward unconsciously. The sky with the rolling clouds rolling like a dark curtain that was removed, overlapping and heavy, with a faint pressure. There was nothing unusual in the darkness, but a strange sound came from afar, gradually floating into my ears, becoming clearer and clearer. I was very confident in my hearing. I frowned and looked at it, and then I saw that a dark cloud floated in the sky. There seemed to be something hidden in the dark clouds, rising and falling, rolling in. What's even more strange is that a whimpering sound was made in the dark clouds. Curiously, I looked at it again and saw that the black clouds were moving quickly, and the sound became clearer and clearer, as if it was a sharp bird song. As I gradually approached, I finally saw that these dark clouds making roaring sounds were frightened birds.
Not only me, Zhuo Bufei and the others were also attracted by the sudden vision, and rushed to the edge of the abyss, looking at the flock of birds gradually approaching the sky. A bad smell came first, and the choking person could hardly breathe.
My eyes were amazing, and I finally saw clearly the black bird flock. It turned out to be a group of black blood bats. Strangely, what did these restless bats find that they became so agitated. I began to meditation, and the smell of porridge floated again, and my heart trembled, and suddenly I realized that the black blood bats might have smelled the fragrance of fine porridge and came in groups, completely for the porridge pot.
Everyone who saw the situation clearly looked ugly and looked heavy. She was breathing heavily. After all, she was a woman and was very careful. She quickly took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose, so that she could breathe much better.
The group of bats was like a thick wall, swelling down the sky. In the moment of crisis, Zhuo Bufei was an old man after all. He waited for an opportunity and shouted, "These are black blood bats, which are extremely poisonous. Be careful. They are all coming for the fragrance of the porridge pot. Stop the porridge pot off the cliff, hurry up."
I was closest to the porridge pot, and immediately understood what he meant, turned around and rushed, a fragrance poured into my nose, and my stomach couldn't help but scream again. In the critical moment, I didn't care about so much. I gritted my teeth and raised my foot to kick the porridge pot off the cliff, and my stomach screamed in a bad mood. The fragrance of porridge was buried by the pungent smell of bats, and I couldn't help feeling sick again.
When I saw my eyes, I finally saw these bats clearly, red all over, showing their ugly appearance, which made people unbearable to pay attention. I was thinking quickly and shouted loudly, "Hide in the tent."
The bats rushed towards the cliff and rushed towards the porridge pot. The bats coming from behind were too dense, colliding with each other, falling down and rushing towards us.
I couldn't care about anything else. I endured my hunger and hid in the tent quickly. I heard the beautiful screams and began to worry, but the dense bats blocked my sight. I tried to rush out to save him, but was forced back by the momentum of the bat group. The smell of smell made me almost unable to breathe. I heard burning pain from my feet. Just as I was kicking the porridge pot, I accidentally burned my ankles by the splashed hot porridge. At this moment, I realized that the wound was very stinging, but it was gradually suppressed my hunger.
"Mistress Yini, come in quickly, what are you doing?" When the stars were rising in pain, the little monkey's voice came from his ears. He felt relieved for Yini. It was obvious that the little monkey took action to save Yini.
I was alone in the tent, and it was impossible to detect the risks outside. I became even more nervous and could not open the tent. The bats kept hitting the tent, making a heavy "puff puff" sound. I grabbed the gap in the tent hard, and my arms were numb by the impact. I never thought that the bat was so powerful that I could hardly hold it.
"Bang bang bang", the gunshots rang out in a dense manner, and the squeaking sound penetrated the entire night, like the sound of a gasp from a ghost, and a burst of excitement all over his body, making people creepy.
The bats' hissing sound became even more irritable and swooped down the cliff one after another.
Hiding alone in a tent is the most insecure. After thinking about it over and over again, I couldn't help but want to rush out, but no matter how hard it was, the tent that was covered with bats had almost reached its limit, and huge pressure invisibly hit my heart.
I heard the gunshots again, and there was obvious that someone was attacked, and I felt worried. It was strange, but I was inexplicably worried about the beautiful situation, but I was not very concerned about the others. I was shocked by my sudden thoughts. At this time of distracting time, I bowed my head silently. In the tent, under the dim light, I saw the bat lying on the tent reflecting a strange shadow. After careful examination, I looked down and sweated down.
My three souls almost left my body. On the tent, all the black shadows gathered together were transmitted to the ground through the tent above my head. The shadows that appeared flickered and condensed were a gloomy and terrifying face. I was in a daze, and the tent made a squeaking sound, as if it could not hold on to the bat's load. Then I pulled it, and the tent torn a crack open. Through the gap, I saw the bat's appearance clearly. The flat head was covered with fluff, which was extremely ugly. I opened my bloody mouth and made a squeaking scream. The sharp teeth, as my mouth opened and closed, the green saliva stuck together, made people feel cold and grim. The terrifying look was no less than the group of rats on the opposite side.
In a panic, the strange bat wings had already reached in. I quickly picked up the blanket and blocked the crack. When I touched the bat's scratch, the creepy and cold feeling was very strange. The sticky and smelly juice penetrated in and dripped on my cheeks, slipping and falling on the ground. I had goose bumps all over my body and my heart was furrowed.
When I set off, Zhuo Bufei once gave me a gun. At this moment, he was panicked and didn't care about anything. He took out the gun and fired several shots in a row.
The scarlet blood penetrated into the tent, and it penetrated into the tent, dripped to the ground, and a burst of blue smoke emerged. I was very frightened, and I watched the bat blood pass through the tent, dripping onto the ground, making a sizzling sound, and white mist came out. The mist poured into my breath, which was very unpleasant, and a sensation of dizziness came.
"It's poisonous." I hurriedly picked up another blanket and covered it on my head, tore open the tent, and rush out. After I came out, I saw the situation clearly and couldn't help but exclaim in my heart. At this moment, I realized that the bats were just surrounded by my tent, and there were a few scattered on the other tents, which was nothing serious, and there was no danger.
At this time, the tent finally couldn't bear it. When it reached the edge of collapse, the oil lamp on the ground was knocked over by the bat group, igniting the tent. The raging fire started to burn, and the bats hissing sound flew up quickly. Under the scorching fire, the sizzling sound came into the ears. The dense bats were burned, and the unpleasant smell surrounded them.
These strange bats were very afraid of the flames and scattered in the flames. Even the bats lying on other tents fled inexplicably and gradually flew with the brigade.
"Silly girl? Are you okay?" The little monkey's anxious voice came from the tent, but the beautiful tent was quiet.
They heard the sound of bats leaving, and then they each came out of the tent, touched their foreheads in horror, and looked at the group of bats that were leaving, with a look of horror on their faces.
The little monkey rushed into the tent in panic and screamed anxiously for a moment, "Uncle Zhuo, the lie girl is gone."
The little monkey opened the tent and everyone ran in and found that there was no beautiful figure. Zhuo Bufei was most anxious, and his face was flustered, and he began to search everywhere, but in the dark, with the burning fireworks of the tent, no beautiful trace was found.
In the tent, there was a delicate short gun thrown on the messy ground. This was Jing Ni. I saw her wiping in the corner of Longquan Inn, and hurriedly picked it up. I found that there were blood stains on the short gun. My heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and I squeezed a cold sweat for Yin Ni's safety.
The little monkey was quick-eyed and found a short gun. He snatched the gun from my hand, looked at me, turned around and ran to Zhuo Bufei.
"Old Zhuo, let's go around looking for it." The old monkey comforted him when he saw this, "Yini's niece reached out and got Lao Bai's true teachings, so there should be no problem."
The little monkey stomped his feet and said regretfully, "I should have been with the girl Yani just now." He glared at me hatefully, "It's all him. If it weren't for giving him porridge, the girl Yani would definitely not be in trouble." Perhaps it was because of the confusion that he was concerned, and he blamed me for all the blame.
Zhuo Bufei stopped the little monkey, lost his mind for a moment, looked up at the sky and the North Star, and couldn't help but think of Yin Ni's childhood, so he murmured, "She shouldn't have anything to do."
The Luohan was straightforward and did not care about other people's feelings at all. He said unintentionally, "Will the niece fall into this deep ravine?" But after careful investigation, he shook his head and denied his opinion, "No, there are no traces of falling here. With the beautiful niece's skills, even in times of crisis, it can leave some traces, but it is intact."
At this time, the old monkey suddenly cried out in horror, "Look, what is this?"
Our eyes gathered at the same time, and we saw a strangely ferocious ghost face on the ground that had turned into ashes.
Zhuo Bufei stared at the ashes on the ground and said in surprise, "Why is this totem so familiar?"
The Arhat blurted out, "Isn't this the totem on the ancient altar in the stone village?"
The white-headed man was stunned and nodded in agreement, "Yes, isn't this the totem engraved on the sacrificial tower of the stone village?"
The little monkey had no intention of appreciating me. He angrily pushed away me who blocked his sight, ran forward and shouted, "Sing Ni girl, where are you?" He grew up with Yan Ni since he was a child, and met again at this moment, and felt in the dark. Among these people, perhaps except for Zhuo Bufei's most worried about Yan Ni, he was the one who counted him.
When I recalled the little monkey's words, I realized that Yini was attacked by a bat to deliver me porridge. When I remembered the gunshots, I turned around and looked for Yini in the direction of my memory. The wound on my legs hurt, but I didn't care about it anymore.
At first glance, there was a raised hill in front of me, with layers of rock walls appearing. From a distance, I was moving forward.
In the middle of the night, there is no boundary at first sight, and there is a little more terror, like a black veil, covering your gaze. On this vast earth, a wave of loneliness surges into your heart. Facing the night, people are very timid. What I am most worried about is the beauty of safety. By the way, you have to see people alive and die with corpses, but neither of them has been verified at present.
The mountain wind blows in the dark night, making people feel very sober. Fortunately, the oil lamp in my hand is covered by a gauze cover so that it will not be blown out by the wind.
Just as I was worried about the beautiful safety, the strange feeling hit my heart again. I always felt that in this night, there was a mysterious force pulling me, like an invisible big hand, threading a needle and carrying you, you are like a puppet in his hand, and you can only be at his mercy.
It was a Buddhist bead, and I only remembered this Buddhist bead left to me by my father. The Buddhist bead that was originally lying quietly in the clothes on my chest was as if it was attracted by a magnet, and I actually wanted to break free from the barriers on my chest.
I was scared and hurriedly reached out to cover the Buddhist beads, but I was very curious inside. What was going on, so I slowly let go of my hand and let the Buddhist beads hold it. I followed the force to pull it towards the darkness.
My head began to be out of control, and I don’t know how long I walked, a huge tree appeared in front of me. The big tree was almost beyond imagination. On its dense torso, twisted branches spread, covering a large area of land, and the ground seeped out of fluorescent light, like the bright stars in the sky.
What's even more strange is that behind the tree, you can vaguely see a mountain wall. On the mountain wall, ancient graphic carvings form ghostly Taotie patterns, inlaid with blue turquoise, and flashes crystal light in the luminous light, an invisible pressure that hits everyone's hearts.
Looking up, a bright moon appeared in the sky, like a moonlight scattering down, shining on the stone wall, reflecting the moonlight, just like the light emitted by the stone wall.
Just when I was surprised, the people behind me slowly followed. It was Zhuo Bufei, and then everyone rushed over.
Zhuo Bufei's eyes fell on the stone wall, and even forgot the beauty of his disappearance. He walked towards the stone wall tremblingly, stretched out his hand to caress the stone carving, "It's here, it's here." Zhuo Bufei's voice trembled, slowly took out the human skin from his arms, looked at the stone wall for a long time, turned around and said to everyone, "It's here, we found it." This is where the pattern on the human skin scroll was prompted.
The Luohan rushed forward, and the backpack made a cracking sound. He said happily, "Old Zhuo, are you sure it's this?"
Baitou Weng said, "It's here, this is the place we are looking for. According to historical records, the construction of this wall and the sculptures on this wall were indeed the Ming Dynasty's technique."
"But the inscriptions on this wall are obviously not written by the Ming Dynasty?" The old monkey grabbed his chin and raised objection, "Can you remember it wrong? Are you sure it's here?"
Zhuo Bufei looked carefully at the Taotie pattern on the wall, and after confirming it again and again, he said happily, "I'm sure it's here."
"What's wrong with you? The beautiful girl is not yet there? Are you happy with this stone wall?" The little monkey was worried about the safety of the beautiful woman. But what he couldn't understand even more was that when his uncle saw this stone wall, he completely forgot about the beautiful woman's situation.
The patterns on the stone wall, roughly looking, under the moonlight, emitted an invisible power, like a living giant snake. One, two,... nine, and the stars are spliced together. When you look closely, it looks like snake scales. As the moonlight shines, the light continues to flow on it. As everyone's eyes, it seems like life, suddenly it is alive, wandering with everyone's eyes.
At this moment, a rustling sound came from behind me, and I felt trembling in my heart and thought to myself, "It's not a group of bats." Looking back in shock, I found that under the moonlight, there was a beautiful figure behind the big tree ground. In the shadows, the scattered hair was flying in the night wind, like a female ghost in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". The frightened cheek showed a timid look. Isn't this the disappearing charm? She was ragged, her temples were messy, and she was stunned, as if she was lost.
The little monkey was extremely surprised and ran forward excitedly and said, "Si Ni girl, are you okay? Where did you go just now?"
Zhuo Bufei also rushed forward, saw the silly look of a beautiful and silly voice, "Girl, girl..."
I breathed a sigh of relief, came back from the loss of consciousness, and looked at Yini. Yini slowly recognized Zhuo Bufei and cried out loud. Although she was good at it, she still couldn't hide the fact that she was a woman when facing the bat group.
Zhuo Bufei kept comforting, and the little monkey became even more anxious. He took a rough look and found that it was not a big deal before he slowly felt relieved.
The Buddhist beads hanging on my chest emerged from my clothes. Under the moonlight, they were shining like the light on the stone wall. The strange characters were projected on the stone wall in the blue light emitted by the turquoise, and the colorful cloud patterns appeared, like the rolling clouds in the sky, magnificent and magical, and shocking.
Everyone was stunned, and even the beautiful crying stopped crying.
Bang, a crisp sound came, and the rope that I tied with the Buddhist beads was broken crisply. I was strangled and coughed. I touched my painful neck, but I watched the Buddhist beads fly towards the stone wall, touched and embedded in the stone wall, appearing in the center of the nine snake patterns, forming a picture of Nine Dragons grabbing beads. From a distance, it was jaw-dropping. The stone wall chirped and made a light sound. After a moment, it rumbled and trembled again. The flowing light gathered in an instant, like nine living dragons, gathered inwardly to the Buddhist beads.
It was like nine giant dragons snatching a crystal-clear pearl. The light slowly gathered on the Buddhist beads. The engraved lines of the Buddhist beads flashed with bright light, and instantly lost their color and became dim. Even if the moonlight shone everywhere, there was no vision just now. It seemed that all the light was swallowed by the Buddhist beads. The color of the turquoise also lost its spirituality and dimmed. The Buddhist bead gathered all the light and emitted the light was as huge as a bucket.
Zhuo Bufei said in surprise, "Is this a dragon ball?"
The rest of the eyes fell on me, but even I looked at the vision in front of me in surprise. Could this be the secret my father had not told when he was dying?
The crystal bead became brighter and brighter, and finally appeared in front of him like a bright moon. But in the blink of an eye, a crack appeared in the pearl light ball, like a smashed open water ball. The light spread, with purple lightning rushing into the stone wall. The stone wall began to crack and finally collapsed, with a strong dust rising, and the turbid and rotten aura visible to the naked eye came out in an instant. Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they quickly retreated one after another, and they stopped until a safe distance.
Black gas poured out from the broken stone hole, forming a thick stream of smoke from cooking. On the collapsed stone wall, the stone wall inlaid with Buddhist beads, seemed to be shot by gun bullets, becoming riddled with holes.
I covered my nose and hurriedly stepped forward to pick out the Buddhist beads. I looked carefully, but I didn't notice any special changes. While thinking about it, I realized that the dark corridor was squirming with green light shadows, constantly squirming and rushing outward.
I saw these things that were climbing out clearly at night. It turned out to be giant snakes with green light, rushing out.
I was afraid of snakes since I was a child. I didn't realize my scalp was numb and my ears were buzzing. I never dared to stay anymore and ran back quickly.
The little monkey's eyes were sharp and shouted, "Snake, everyone get out of the way."
Surprised, everyone took a few more steps back, but these snakes seemed slow, but in fact they were very fast, and appeared at the entrance of the cave in the blink of an eye.
The triangular green tongue stretched out the scarlet snake letter, and the eyes burst out with a creepy cold light. It was obvious at first glance that these snakes must be highly poisonous.
Yini screamed and hid behind Zhuo Bufei. The little monkey didn't know what happened to Yini just now, but at this moment he hurriedly blocked Zhuo Bufei and took out a strange iron hook from his skin. At a high glance, it looked like an iron sickle, "Yini girl, it's okay, I'm here." But as soon as he finished speaking, there were more and more snakes gushing out, and the little monkey was shocked.
"This is a damn snake hole, we can't go in." The Luohan cursed and took out a bundle of explosives from his backpack. This was given to him by the Baitou Weng in advance. He said hatefully, "It's better to just use explosives to blow these ghosts to death, and clear the road."
The white-headed man stopped him and said, "I finally found this place. If you go down there, the entrance of the cave may be destroyed. Wouldn't everyone be in vain?"
The old monkey agreed, "Lao Luo, you're hurry up, I'll panic when I see these ghosts." He looked at the surging group of snakes and shivered all over.
The little monkey stared at the group of snakes and said annoyedly, "I would have known to bring some sulfur or the like, but now it's fine, which scares the girl Yani." He glanced at Yani with concern and frowned and thoughtful.
More and more snakes were gushing out, and even the air around them emitted a fishy smell. There seemed to be endless groups in the cave. Worried, everyone hurriedly turned around and retreated far away.
It is strange that the snakes were like domestically raised, waiting quietly around the entrance of the cave, like loyal guards, and did not retreat.
"What should we do? These snakes are guarding here, how can we get in?" Luohan saw the situation clearly and cursed, "If I had known this, I would rather be with those two guys."
The white-headed man frowned and said, "It's over. Now I'm going to find a way. What can we do if these snakes entrench here?"
Zhuo Bufei sighed helplessly, "I've really miscalculated." He thought about it over and over again, and finally asked Luohan, "Can we explode these snakes without destroying the entrance?"
The Arhat looked at it for a long time and finally looked at the White-Headed Man. After all, the White-Headed Man is an expert in firearms, but the White-Headed Man shook his head and said, "I can only wait until dawn to see the situation clearly before I can talk about it."
At this moment, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and there is no way to see anything. I can only wait until dawn. The surroundings look gloomy and weird, and the tent is destroyed. Fortunately, the trees can still block the wind and rain.
Several people began to pick up some dry firewood and raised torches to keep warm on the one hand, and prevent wild animals from hurting people. The bonfire lit up and the flames flashed, and they instantly felt the surroundings brighten up. However, when I observed the surroundings through the bonfire, the thick darkness was an unknown world. A gust of night wind blew, and I tightened my clothes and felt that everything became even more weird.
"This is all we can do now. Everyone takes turns to watch tonight. As long as it is dawn, everything will be fine." Zhuo Bufei immediately arranged the order of the guards.
The seven of us, apart from the frightened beauty, were divided into three groups of vigils, and Zhuo Bufei and I guarded the eve.
The night in this place was very strange and suddenly became cold. Fortunately, the bonfire was strong, so it was not unbearable. Zhuo Bufei seemed to have something to worry about, turned around and glanced at the beautiful sleeping beauty, and then took out the human skin. Against the bonfire, the characters on the human skin showed strange shadows, like the snakes at the entrance of the cave, which was very terrifying.
