Chapter 28 - Meishan

"I said we have nothing to do to climb mountains. This makes me tired."Brother Xiang started to complain with sweat. It was not just Brother Xiang, but also me, Xiaopang, Tailong, Han Sifan, Jin Xishan, Magpie, Xia Yu Meng, and even Liu Tianyi, the nine of us climbed on an unknown mountain on the edge of Chongqing and Sichuan. The reason was that Jin Xishan's grandfather seemed to be seriously ill. Jin Xishan's father didn't seem to have time to come back, so he asked Jin Xishan to come back to see his grandfather. Later, Jin Xishan was bored when he came back alone. It happened that the school had a high temperature holiday, and he didn't have to go to school for seven days, so he sent us A few of them also got together. Originally, we felt like we were just climbing mountains and playing in the water. Four men and four women would be happy, but it was a pity that Liu Tianyi popped up out of nowhere. That Liu Tianyi looked down on Brother Xiang and said: "You are a grown man and you still say you are tired, but other girls haven't even said you are tired yet.""Get out of here, I'm not happy to see such a sissy like you."Brother Xiang took out the mineral water and took a sip. He said gently to Jin Xishan: "About how long will it take? I'm so tired.""About days."If you can get to a temple before it gets dark, just hold on a little longer. We'll rest there for one night and we won't arrive until the next day."Jin Xishan replied with a smile, but he wasn't angry because of Brother Xiang's words. Strangely enough, The four people in their dormitory, except for Han Sifan, are really gentler than the other. Brother Xiang's face turned pale when he heard Jin Xishan's answer. He had no choice but to lower his head and follow behind. We walked for about another two hours. It was already dark, and we finally arrived at the temple that Jin Xishan was talking about. It's really a ruined temple. There isn't even a plaque. Not to mention the tatters on the outside, there are some hay on the ground inside and there are spider webs everywhere. "Look, the thing enshrined in this temple is really interesting."Brother Xiang pointed to the middle of the temple. I looked up and saw, hey, it's true, this is not a Bodhisattva or a god, but a tall stone monkey. , of course, it is not the Great Sage, it looks very evil. The monkey has two eyes and one eye above the eyebrows. The face is full of violence. The stone statue gives people the feeling that this monkey is full of killing intent. "It's a monkey and it has three eyes. Is it a combination of Sun Dasheng and Erlang Shen?"Tailong smiled, obviously he didn't take this stone monkey seriously. I didn't say anything and carefully took it out of the bag. He took out three sticks of incense and placed them in front of the stone statue. , and then I whispered: "A few of us are staying for the night, and I hope you will come to us."This is one of our customs when we meet gods and worship them. There are countless evil gods in this world. It is best to be polite when you meet them. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if something happens. Then the nine of us also put our luggage on the ground and tidied up the temple a little. Then when we saw that the sky was getting dark, we lit a fire in the middle of the temple. The main thing was to prevent bears in the mountains. It's dangerous, and the risk of making a fire is relatively high. Then we were bored and playing with our mobile phones next to the fire. Maybe Jin Xishan saw that everyone was not in a high mood, so he said: "Don't be so sad. I'll tell you a ghost story.""No, sister. , we are not children, can we still be scared by you? Stop talking."The trembling look of Xiaopang's whole body has exposed him. He should be very scared. "It's okay, we are all scared, please tell us. "Brother Xiang and I looked at each other. We have seen real ghosts. How can we still be afraid of these ghost stories? "What do you think our mountain is called? Jin Xishan asked mysteriously. We shook our heads and said we didn't know, so she said, "I tell you, our mountain is called Meishan, a ghostly Meishan."She pointed to the stone statue in the temple and said: "We have a kind of monster here called the Charming Monkey. It is said that it specializes in eating human internal organs, and this temple is used to worship them. The old man said that a virgin must be sacrificed every three years."The virgins are then placed in the temple just like we do, and at night, the charming monkeys will eat the boy and girl. "Jin Xishan said it mysteriously, and it looked like he had experienced it himself. We didn't feel anything at all, right? There's nothing scary about this, but the little fat guy next to me was actually scared. His face turned pale and he said: "Sister, please stop talking, this is too scary. "It's true.""Looking at Jin Xishan's smiling face, I knew she meant to say it to scare people, and I really didn't think there was anything scary about it. She was just a monkey. At that time, we didn't take it to heart, and then we played around for a while. I took out my sleeping bag and closed my eyes to sleep. I don't know how long I slept. I was woken up by the wind. I opened my eyes in a daze and didn't get up. Many people should have done it. That's it, wake up After I fell asleep, I wanted to lie down for a while. I was lying on the ground, half-squinting my eyes, looking at the moonlight coming in from the window, and felt comfortable. But then I suddenly thought, I remembered that the window was closed before we went to bed. There is a large window in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the temple. At that time, we were afraid of snakes, insects, rats, and ants, so we closed it. Especially before I went to bed, I checked it again, but now the window has been opened, and the cold wind from the mountain is blowing. my body Go up. I didn't dare to get up immediately because I thought of Jin Xishan's words. Could it be that the evil monkey is really coming to attack us? Anyway, it's unlikely that these people would get up and open the windows. After all, everyone was asleep at night. Xiang, who is so full that he can open this thing? I half-squinted my eyes and looked around to find the charm monkey, and suddenly I saw a pair of red eyes looking at the stone statue in the middle of the temple. With us. Looking at the moonlight, I can see that it is really a monkey. This monkey is about half a meter tall. It does not have three eyes like the stone statue. It has jet black hair all over its body and its nails are three centimeters long. It looks extremely sharp and its eyes are glowing. Hong Guang was looking at us, as if he was hesitating whether to come down and attack us. The one sleeping on my left was Brother Xiang. I kicked him carefully with my legs. Brother Xiang opened his eyes in a daze and whispered: "What are you making a fuss about?", sleep well by yourself! "After that, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep. Later, he seemed to be afraid that I would annoy him, so he directly pulled up the sleeping bag.I almost jumped up and cursed. I looked at Han Sifan, and there was little chubby Jin Xishan in the middle. It seemed unrealistic to call her. I frowned and thought for a while, this monkey should be alone. Seeing the large number of us, I didn't think so. If you dare to come down, the only way now is to lure it out and kill it lifelessly. I think this monkey shouldn't be too powerful. I stood up, pretending not to see the charming monkey, then opened the temple door and walked out. Before I came, I had already drawn three flame talismans and carried them with me for self-defense. I touched the talisman in my bag. , I sneered in my heart, I will use this charm monkey to try my flame talisman later. The previous talisman had no power at all, but it won't be like this this time. After I came out, I kept walking forward. After walking for about a minute, I stopped in a relatively open place with no trees in the jungle. I waited for the charming monkey to come over. As for whether it would come over, I didn't know much about it. Not worried.
