Several consecutive days of mountain reconnaissance yielded no results, and heavy fog once again shrouded the entire Luoye Mountain.
What surprised me was that there was no sign of any earth beasts in this mountain known as the Sacred Mountain. otbnkotgt The mountain seems to be completely clean The conflict between Tiegu and Luo Qiong has been put on the table, which is very detrimental to future exploration into the mountain.
The top priority is to eliminate internal strife and let the conflict between Tie Gu and Luo Qiong be resolved.
At night, Tie Gu sat by the door to eat.
Since the last fight with Luo Qiong revealed part of his body's secrets, the villagers were particularly scared when they saw him and Luo Qiong, especially him, with bugs growing on his hands.
Who wouldn’t be afraid in the eyes of anyone?
"What do you want to say?"
Tiegu didn't raise his head but seemed to already know it was me, so he asked.
I walked over and sat next to him.
Tiegu moved to the side as if instinctively, as if he didn't want to sit with me.
Or maybe he doesn’t want to be approached.
"I heard you fought in Vietnam" I asked, lighting a cigarette.
"Don't you know?"
His attitude was relatively cold, but I didn't care.
I smiled and said, "I also heard that you are disgusted with anyone or anything that has anything to do with demons, right?"
He didn't say anything, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
"Can you tell me why I am so disgusted with demons?
In my opinion, although many demons are hostile, there are also good demons.
Things always have two sides, so we can't generalize.
Let's go on."
Before I finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, stared at me and said, "If you don't understand, don't scare me.
Any good monster is a monster and should be killed.
Don't think that just relying on You can make me reconcile with that demon cultivator with just a few words.
If it weren't for the pressure from the superiors, I would have done it with you."
After saying that, he strode away.
I was rejected and shrugged helplessly.
Behind him, Hei Niu came over with a smile and said, "Xiaoshan, Tiegu is a bit strange, but he is not a bad person.
He is under Team Leader Lai.
Although they are all bad-tempered people, the really bad ones have been kicked out long ago.”
"Brother Hei Niu, you have a good relationship with Tie Gu.
Why does he hate monsters so much?"
I asked strangely.
"Hehe, you have asked the right person about this matter.
Come and give me a cigarette, and we two brothers will have a good chat."
After hearing this, I immediately sent a cigarette to him.
After he lit it, he pondered for a moment and said, "I and Tiegu We only worked together three years ago Yes, because we have been working together for a long time, we are considered brothers.
One night, I drank with him.
This grandson was not a good drinker.
He behaved badly after drinking too much.
I asked him why he became like this.
After drinking a few more glasses, I opened my eyes He said that at that time, a group of three soldiers were separated in the dense forest and were looking for a large force.
However, they heard someone calling for help at night.
The three of them thought that someone might be in danger.
When they followed the sound, they looked for them.
It was discovered that the child who was calling for help was falling into the river.

At that time, the other two soldiers were good at water, and Tiegu stood on the shore and went into the water to save people.
However, they did not expect that the child who fell in the water was not a child.
But a water monkey” There are two versions of the so-called water monkey.
One is known to ordinary people.
After a child drowns in the river, he turns into an evil spirit and pulls people into the water to drown.
There is also a kind of flesh-sucking demon mentioned in the mountain ghost stories.
This kind of medicine looks like a human but has a monkey face, and can imitate human speech.
Squatting in the relatively deep lake water, you are very powerful when you are in the water.
It imitates human calls to attract people to come closer.
If a well-intentioned person thinks it is drowning and goes into the water to save it, it will be harmed by it instead.
I estimate that Tiegu's two comrades encountered the second type of water monkey.
Because according to the speculation in the mountain ghost story, China originally did not have such evil spirits that can imitate human speech.
It may have been introduced from outside.
It is estimated that it was introduced into China from Vietnam or Thailand.
"What happened later" I asked next.
"We were dragged into the water by the water monkey, and we were two warriors who didn't know how to use magic.
You can imagine the result.
Tiegu watched helplessly as his two comrades were eaten by the water monkey, and he ran away in a panic.
So I guess His hatred of monsters may have something to do with this."
"Then why does he look like this?
How can there be bugs in his body?"
I steered the conversation to the other side.
But Hei Niu shook his head and said: "He refuses to talk about this matter to his death, but everyone who hangs out on the road has some secrets.
It's normal for Tiegu to refuse to talk."
"Oh, okay, thank you Brother Hei Niu."
I smiled and said, and just as I was about to chat a few words, Luo Qiong hurried over and said, "That little demon has spoken."
I suddenly stood up from the chair.
This little demon has been under the care of Shen Mengtian for some time.
As the only clue at present, I wish that this little demon would speak earlier.
Now I finally waited for this opportunity.
In the room where Xiao Yao was locked up, Shen Mengtian and Hua Niu were both there.
When I walked in, I saw Xiao Yao hiding back in fear.
A pair of rough hands was holding Shen Mengtian's arm.
He seemed to trust Shen Mengtian very much. look.
"Opened his mouth" I asked quickly.
"Well, it's willing to take us into the mountains, but I hope we won't hurt it."
Shen Mengtian said.
"This is nature.
We won't make things difficult for it if it helps us.
But how can we prove that this little monster is not playing tricks?
What if it deceives us into the mountains and then lures us into a trap?"
I still had reservations and didn't immediately trust it.
"This kid can't do it.
Come on, little demon, tell your big brother yourself."
She gave the little demon a tug, but I asked in surprise: "It can speak our language."

When I said it spoke before, I meant that this little demon was willing to help us, but what I didn't expect was that it could actually speak human words.
It is mentioned in the mountain monster talk that there are only two types of monsters that can speak human words.
One type is the monsters that have practiced the Tao and have the ability to transform into human beings.
For example, Wong Tai Sin is the weasel who transformed into a human being.
When he becomes a human, if he is bumped into by someone, he will ask the other person in human language whether he looks like a human being, and the other person's answer will determine whether Wong Tai Sin rewards or punishes him.
This second type is related to innateness.
Some monsters are born with higher intelligence, that is, higher talents.
This type of monsters can learn human language very quickly.
Some monsters that look like animals are actually better than many normal people.
Be smart and have strong learning ability.
I haven't figured out the details of this little guy in front of me, but being able to speak means that he can communicate normally, which is always good.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you.
Tell me what's going on in Luoye Mountain."
I knelt down, keeping eye contact with it, and asked.
Its eyes flickered, and it said quietly and slowly: "I have many compatriots in the mountains."
"Are the compatriots you are talking about demons from your clan?"
I asked next.
"No, there are other compatriots like Big Tiger and Orochi."
This is not good news.
It means that Luoye Mountain is not as safe as the guide said.
On the contrary, these monsters or earth beasts may be hiding in the mountain, but they just don’t show their heads.
If we go in rashly, we may break into several monsters.
Needless to say, the level of danger will be at that time.
"Then do you know Xuanhai?"
I asked about the key points.
"I know it's very beautiful and big.
We were drinking water in Xuanhai and Uncle Long was also there."
The last few words in its mouth made us all startled.
I leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Is the Uncle Long you are talking about the kind of dragon that flies in the sky and swallows clouds and spits mist?"
"Uncle Long can't fly, but he has horns on his head.
They all say he's not in good health and can't fly."
I behaved, and this matter suddenly went up to several levels.
This was not just about saving people.
If a dragon really lived in the mysterious sea, it would be a big event that would cause a sensation in the entire circle:
