White Bone Monkey King

As the vision darkened,

call--

A strong wind blew violently in the cave, mixed with moist water vapor and an indescribable rotten smell. The old Taoist priest, who was lying on the railing and vomiting until the sky was dark, suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders, as if a pair of arms were resting on him in the dark. on the shoulders.

At the same time, there was the sound of fishy and heavy breathing coming from behind, with a strong smell of rotting corpses. The turbid stench made people feel dizzy.

The old Taoist priest's heart was beating fast, and he rolled around like a lazy donkey. Then he quickly took out a handful of evil-proof glutinous rice from his Tai Chi Bagua bag and sprinkled it on the place behind him.

After doing all this, the old Taoist priest's nervous shout was heard on the dark ship's deck: "Little brother, there is a water corpse in this hole on board! Just now, I, the old Taoist, would have had my neck bitten off if I was slow to react!"

As soon as the old Taoist priest finished shouting, he realized something was wrong: "Hey, that's not right, it's broad daylight. What kind of water corpse dares to show up in broad daylight?"

Curious, the old Taoist priest still spurted out a sip of Sanyang wine without hesitation, then raised his mahogany sword and stabbed it out to prevent the thing behind him from chasing him.

In fact, there was no need for the old Taoist priest to take action. As soon as there was an abnormality on the old Taoist priest's side, Jin An had already appeared beside the old Taoist priest. In the darkness, his eyes were like cold lightning, and he could see clearly what the so-called "water corpse" was at a glance. He was about to take action when suddenly, a torch flashed in front of him, and the fire suddenly lit up in the darkness. Jin An's eyes narrowed slightly to adjust to the sight. The captain of the ship held up the torch to protect a big dog.

"Misunderstandings and misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Don't be nervous, Taoist priest. It's not some water corpse boarding the ship to harm anyone. It's just a playful dog. I just made a little joke with the Taoist priest." The boss of the boat guarded the dog.

With the torch lighting, the old Taoist priest finally saw clearly a big yellow dog behind the boat boss. The big yellow dog was two times larger than the ordinary native dog. It was extremely strong, especially the dog's head was extremely big. At first glance, it seemed that it was good at chasing. The hunting temperament is fierce and fierce.

But the most attractive thing is the pair of green tricks flashing in the dark.

At this time, the old Taoist priest noticed that there was more than one vicious dog in the entire fishing boat, and there were also several pairs of tricks behind the cabin door. Several vicious dogs were staring at him and Jin An.

The boss of the ship also noticed that the old Taoist priest had been staring in the direction of the cabin. He looked back at the cabin behind him and suddenly realized what the old Taoist priest was looking at. Then he said with a smile: "My pet dog has been kept on the boat and rarely sees strangers. They are not familiar with the smell of strangers yet, so don’t be nervous, Daoist Chen and Daoist Jin An, they don’t bite.”

As he said that, the boss of the ship opened a wooden barrel, took out a few pieces of bone and meat and threw them to a few vicious dogs. The vicious dogs returned to the cabin again, and then there was a scalp-spitting sound of crunching bones.

While the boat boss turned around to feed the dog, the old Taoist priest whispered to Jin An: "Little brother, there is something wrong with those vicious dogs. Do you still remember those beast tracks we found in Houchi Village before? I doubt this. The boss of the ship didn't tell the truth. His vicious dogs must have frequented Houchi Village, and they were raised on dead human flesh! When the big yellow dog's two forelimbs were put on my shoulders, I smelled the stench of dead people. taste!"

It's not just the dog that's wrong.

Even the boss of this ship has many doubts.

After the boss of the ship fed the dog, he walked out of the cabin and locked the cabin. He didn't know whether he was locking the dog or not wanting outsiders to get close to the cabin.

Jin An is not like the old Taoist priest. He always puts the world's sophistication first in everything he does. He is smooth and energetic. When he saw the boss of the boat coming out, he went straight to the point and asked: "Boss of the boat, those dogs you raise are not ordinary domestic dogs." Bar?"

The expression on the boat boss's face was startled at first. Maybe he didn't expect Jin An to point it out so directly. However, he has been fishing at sea all year round and is used to seeing big storms in life. He quickly regained his composure and explained that he had heard Dogs can see things that people can't see. In order to take risks, he caught more fish to sell, so he went to the mass graves and adopted a few dogs that had eaten the flesh of dead people. First, he used these to ward off evil and avoid danger, and second, he used the dogs' The smell of the dead masked the smell of the living, allowing him to fish safely in the area around Jiutou Mountain.

"Taoist Master Jin'an and Taoist Chen, don't worry, my dogs are only interested in dead human flesh, not living people." The boss of the boat smiled and repeatedly emphasized that his dogs do not bite.

After the boss of the boat finished speaking, he didn't want to say more. He told the two of them to try not to get close to the side of the boat to avoid being knocked off the boat by the waves, and then walked back to the steering position.

…

…

Crackling——

Jin An and the old Taoist priest each held a torch in their hands, barely illuminating the cave, and looked back and forth at the cave walls on both sides and the ceiling above their heads.

The two seemed to be surveying the environment in the cave, but in fact they were whispering softly.

"Old Dao, I feel a chill on my back. There are always a few pairs of eyes staring at my back. Little brother, those vicious dogs that the boss of the ship keeps in the cabin are definitely not as capable of biting as he said!"

"Um."

"Little brother, have you made any decision?"

"Dog meat is said to be a great tonic in traditional Chinese medicine records, which can dispel cold and dampness. It just so happens that there is a lot of moisture in this cave. Old Taoist, do you want to eat dog meat hot pot?"

"?"

Little brother, something is wrong with you!

The old Taoist priest gritted his teeth because of toothache!

"Little brother, please stop making trouble. Those vicious dogs grew up eating the flesh of dead people in mass graves. Even if they are not afraid of the highly poisonous and sour smell of dog meat, they still cannot pass the test of human ethics!" the old Taoist priest said nervously in a low voice.

This pair of old and young people played tricks more than once. While they were talking, the sampan boat had already penetrated deep into the Jiutou Mountain cave. At this time, the cave was so dark that it was so dark that it was not far from the boat and you couldn't even see your fingers. The outside sunlight could no longer shine here.

However, I didn’t see even a floating corpse of a shipwrecked person along the way.

I don’t know if it didn’t exist in the first place.

Suddenly, a bridge appeared above the head. The bridge was made of bamboo, the most common material in Jiangzhou Prefecture. It looked like a fortress suspended in a cave. This should be the building left by several groups of pirates back then. However, with the gunfire, Due to baptism and the corrosion of time, this bridge has long been in dilapidated condition, with one corner missing in the east and one corner missing in the west severely damaged.

Jin An even doubted whether the bridge could last five or six years.

There were several dead people hanging on the bridge. The dead people had long since rotted into bones. It was unknown whether they were pirates who were hanged or innocent people who were hanged by pirates.

Passing under the feet of the hanging bones, the fishing boat walked for a while and found another bridge. This bridge was a mixture of two architectural styles. It looked like the first batch of pirates came back after being wiped out by the government. Another group of new pirates took over here and strengthened their lair based on the original foundation.

No matter how many groups of pirates occupied Jiutou Mountain, as the place was besieged and suppressed several times by the government, too many people died and strange things happened frequently. Even pirates with sword heads licking blood and full of evil spirits did not dare to build their nests here. , this place has been abandoned for a long time.

Along the way, we saw some short bamboo buildings built on the rock walls on both sides and dead people with skeletons hanging. Bang, the ship finally docked.

There is a simple little pier here that has been abandoned for many years. It should be a building left by the pirates. When we arrived here, we still didn't see the bodies of the shipwrecked people.
