Chapter 516: Spell to attract beasts
“It’s getting late. If you want me to see, you don’t go up the mountain today.”
In the county town of Miao Township, the thin leader of the county greeted him of them.
This is due to the relationship between Shanmao and Zhao Dahai.
I am worried that Chen Ling will encounter the Wild Boar King when he comes over.
So in the past two days, I asked them to find someone to watch near the dock and wait for Chen Ling and the others to come over.
"It doesn't matter, the sun hasn't set yet. We have also prepared mining explosives. According to what you said, this pig king will stay away if he smells the smell of explosives."
< br>Chen Ling smiled slightly and patted the two dogs beside him: "No, I brought the dogs here. If there is any situation, I can know it early."
"That's okay."
The tall and thin man nodded and looked at Heiwa and Xiaojin: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, these two dogs are really big. They look more scary than wolves."
He looked at the two Hei babies for a while, then enthusiastically went to get something to feed them.
In front of Chen Ling, the two dogs would still eat other people's food, but they would not get close to people even after eating.
While feeding the dog, he said: "Our county's public security team also went to the mountains this morning, looking for the Pig King.
However, we don't know where they are yet. It just so happens that the old village chief of Ranjia Village is here and can go back with you."
Chen Ling thought he was asking them to send the little old man back.
That's not what it turns out to be.
But because this little old man was also an excellent hunter when he was young.
He also knows the Miao family's spells.
When walking in the mountains and forests, if you recite a mantra, you can avoid jackals, tigers and leopards.
He said it would be safer to go back with them like this.
......
“What the hell?”
“Miao family’s spell? Is it the kind of witchcraft that makes people dance like gods?”
“You still believe this in this day and age? Huh? "
Yu Qian was stunned, feeling that what he heard was a bit ridiculous.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth for fear of saying the wrong thing.
Because at this time, the little old man from Ranjiazhai had already joined them.
After listening to Yu Qian, he smiled nonchalantly, "You are actually right, this is the witchcraft passed down."
"It was when you moved here, from Brought here from the south?" Chen Ling asked.
“Yes, the old mantra used to have the word Meishan in it. When chanting the mantra, you must respect Meishan and invite divine power from Meishan. Now you must respect your own land.”
The little old man looked at Chen Ling approvingly and said.
"Then since you moved here, have you ever dealt with leopards, tigers, etc.?"
Chen Ling asked again.
“Yes, if you encounter a leopard or tiger, you hide, don’t move, don’t hurt it, and it will go away on its own. After all, they are usually afraid of people.”
< br>The little old man smiled and said, "Besides, you must be prepared for self-defense before going up the mountain.
Let's go back to the mountain first, let's talk while walking. ”
As he continues to talk, the self-defense preparation the little old man mentioned is the "flying skill" taught by his master.
Every time he goes into the mountains to hunt, in addition to carrying a ghost head knife and a wooden stick, he also Bring fire paper and incense.
Before walking into the forest, you must first "fly", that is, "invisible".
Hide your body and attack anyone who wants to after entering the mountain. The animals in their own eyes have no "self" and turn a blind eye. They can walk alone in the mountains and come and go freely without worrying about being attacked by ferocious beasts.
How to become invisible?
The little old man did not hide anything and told about his "flying body" spell.
"Fly my hand, transform into my hand, my hand transform into a tiger's mouth, sacrifice my feet, transform into my feet, my feet transform into nine ox horns, fly my body, hide my body, my body is hidden in the sky Banqiao, people can't see it, and thunder can't hit it. Please ask the land master to give me a spell."
The little old man recited the formula of the Flying Body Technique in one breath.
“After reciting the mantra, step on three feet, then burn incense and paper.”
The old man continued talking and actually took out the fire paper and lit it.
Then he stepped on the ground with three feet, making three "bang, bang, bang" sounds, and dust flew along his trouser legs.
"Can these few formulas really hide the body?"
Chen Ling and others asked in confusion.
The little old man smiled mysteriously and told an example: when he was still young, he once went up to the mountains to hunt after "flying". He passed by a paddy field and the field ridges were covered with frogs. He walked past When squatting on the field bank full of frogs, the frogs turned a blind eye and still puffed out their cheeks and screamed.
"This means that 'flying' is successful. If you walk across the field ridge and all the frogs jump into the field, it means that your body has been seen by the frogs, and 'flying' has failed.
If 'flying' If it fails, you have to cast the spell again and 'fly' again."
The little old man explained.
"This spell sounds like it's only suitable for one person, right? It shouldn't be used when hunting!"
Chen Ling asked again.
This caused everyone to look at the little old man.
Chen Ling can be regarded as everyone's mouth at this time. People like Yu Qian and Shengtai are new here and are afraid of saying the wrong thing. After Yu Qian said that he was bald just now, they did not dare to say anything easily.
“Yes, this is also related to our customs and rules here.
Going into the mountains alone, flying skills can protect yourself.
When hunting, there are more people and fewer animals. If you have a gun and a knife, you don’t need these spells.”
The little old man pointed at the towering mountains in the distance, "Actually, it's not that hunting is useless, but if there are too many prey coming down from the mountains, we will put away our swords and guns and stay in the village and not go out. Offend them at this time."
When encountering a group of more than a dozen wild beasts or mountain birds, the hunters in the Miao Village do not dare to shoot easily.
They believe that this is a kind of "mountain spirit" or "elf" in the mountains. If they shoot at this time, something bad will happen.
If you have to fight, you must be mentally prepared, and you cannot shoot the leader, you can only shoot the ones behind.
After shooting the prey, you should quickly apply gunpowder to your face, and at the same time hang the gun upside down on the nearby tree. You should also stand upside down next to the tree and act as an "elf" After seeing this kind of behavior, they think it is their own members and can let it go to avoid trouble.
"The Wild Boar King is an exception this time. It dug up the graves of the ancestors of the Miao family and ate the bones of the people. This is no longer a mountain spirit, but a real monster and monster. Grandpa Land will not forgive it. "
The little old man gritted his teeth.
......
The sky is a little dark, and these mysterious witch-god cultures make Chen Ling and others not only absurd, but also have some expectations and curiosity.
Hearing the little old man speak so truthfully, they had the urge to experience it.
Especially these people from the provincial TV station, their eyes are even more frightening.
I don’t care about taboos anymore.
Take the little old man aside to talk.
After a while, they caught up with Chen Ling and others.
I don’t know if I gave money or made some other communication.
Several people from the provincial TV station immediately turned on their filming machines.
The little old man chanted the mantra again, lit the fire paper, and demonstrated the 'flying body technique'.
Bang, bang, bang...
After stomping my feet three times, paper dust was flying up and down.
However, what embarrassed the little old man was that he had just finished reciting the curse and had not walked a few steps further.
There were wild monkeys in the trees peeing on him.
Then he followed behind with his teeth bared and barking wildly.
Even Chen Ling and the others fired shots to drive them away, and Hei Wa and Xiao Jin's threatening roars were ineffective.
The reaction of the wild monkey and the sharp cry make people feel a little scared and their scalp explodes.
"Uncle Ran, you just finished reciting the mantra, and this wild monkey is acting like this. Is something wrong?"
"..."
The little old man suddenly became excited when he heard this. I turned around and looked at the wild monkey on the tree, as if I remembered something.
“Stop talking and leave quickly.”
At this time, his embarrassed face gradually darkened. He waved his hand and walked hurriedly, as if there was something behind him. Just like chasing after my son.
Everyone was a little nervous when he looked like this.
In addition, the Wild Boar King has killed several people in the past two days.
As the sky gradually darkened in the mountains, everyone felt that there was a strange and inexplicable atmosphere surrounding them.
Especially near the bamboo forest halfway, I saw the hoof prints and blood stains left by the Wild Boar King.
The hoof prints were as big as bowls and sunk very deeply into some soft mud.
Some dwarf trees next to the bamboo forest were swaying here and there, and their branches and leaves were severely damaged. The surrounding land looked like it had been plowed. There were ditches on the slopes, and all the fresh and moist soil was turned up. The scene was quite terrifying.
No one dared to stay for a moment longer. The people from the TV station were also careful when taking pictures. They took a simple photo and left quickly.
Chen Ling was okay, he walked a few steps and fired two shots.
Stop the wild monkey that is following persistently on the top of the tree behind.
Heiwa Xiaojin stopped making any noise at this time, and he didn't even wag his tail very much.
He walked around Chen Ling, sniffing and peeing, and became familiar with the environment here.
Finally.
Everyone rushed back to Sanxiping before dark.
The wild monkeys stopped following.
The little old man breathed a sigh of relief.
Tell them that when they arrive at the village later, they should do nothing else but offer a stick of incense to the land master.
"What's wrong, Uncle Ran? Is there really something wrong with that wild monkey chasing after you just now?"
When Chen Ling asked this question, Yu Qian's face was tense and he didn't care. Wiping the sweat, he held Chen Ling's arm tightly behind Chen Ling, his eyes full of expectation and fear.
This old boy is also a coward.
My face turned pale with fright just now on the road.
But I just want to hear this mysterious thing.
If there was nothing evil at all, he might still be disappointed.
Fortunately, this is a Miao village, and the Miao people here also believe in ghosts and gods...
At this time, I heard the little old man say: "There is something, nothing else, just before I chanted the curse The 'mountain spirit' we were talking about was not happy when we heard us saying its name when it was getting dark, so it came over and let the wild monkeys scare us..."
This magical saying , it really scared everyone except Chen Ling.
People from the provincial TV station were frightened and quickly recorded it.
Especially when I heard the little old man say that the mountain spirit has an ear for the wind, or it can hear what people are saying wherever there are trees in the mountains.
Quickly suppress the fear in my heart, record and ask questions at the same time.
It can be said that he is very dedicated.
Chen Ling was squatting next to the Tutu Temple, petting the dog, and listening to their conversation.
He thought about it and realized that he had not felt any danger just now. He believed in his instincts. After all, he had been awakened by jackals peeping at him when he had spent the night in the mountains in the past.
This is his ability that is different from ordinary people, or is stronger than ordinary people.
Furthermore, the reactions of the two dogs were also very dull.
In addition to the traces left by the Wild Boar King, showing excitement and mania, and leaving urine provocations and marks.
In addition to barking fiercely at the beginning of the group of wild monkeys, I later ignored them.
The response was mediocre all the way.
......
After a while, Shanmao and Zhao Dahai came out, bringing two Taihang dogs. Behind them were the local county police officers, who also brought some dogs.
Seeing the mysterious and changing expressions of the little old man and others, he did not dare to say hello to Chen Ling loudly.
I came closer and asked what was going on.
After Chen Ling finished speaking, Shanmao and others also felt confused.
I didn’t see any mountain spirits or elves, so they just gave the strange behavior of wild monkeys a strange name.
On the contrary, these police comrades who came to help the mountain people deal with the Wild Boar King looked like they were used to it.
I didn’t have much reaction to what Chen Ling told me.
Just looking around at Heiwa and Xiaojin's two big dogs, they were amazed.
Chen Ling kept asking questions, asking what kind of dog it was and whether it was strong or not.
In the end, of course there are people who want puppies or something.
......
After chatting for a while, he became familiar with it.
So, after Chen Ling and others paid incense at the Tutu Temple, a group of people from the public security brigade, together with Shanmao and the others, complained to Chen Ling about what they had experienced in the past two days.
The Wild Boar King is said to be terrifyingly ferocious and savage, but in fact he is not too reckless and is too smart and slippery to look like a pig.
It ignored the wild boar cannon made.
Avoid it from a distance.
This kind of trap is useless for the King of Pigs. To dig a trap, you have to dig the big one, the kind that can trap an elephant. The rocks are solid and difficult to make.
Knives and guns have limited damage to it, so you can only use explosives.
But it's a pity that this wild boar king was quite crazy when it took revenge on humans. In fact, after going crazy, or after discovering that many of its kind were hunted and killed, it also became cautious and cunning.
"I think this is normal."
Chen Ling held the rice bowl and ate while holding bones to feed the dog, "As I said, this pig king can grow to eight hundred in the mountains. To a thousand pounds, if nothing else, its ability to save lives must be first-rate.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is cautious, cunning, smart, or even intelligent. I have never heard of the wisdom of a wolf. Really? This pig has lived a long time and is no worse than a wolf."
"Yes, this wild boar king is not as smart as a pig."
Shanmao and Zhao Dahai have witnessed some surprising phenomena in the past two days.
Yu Qian was still immersed in what the little old man from Ranjiazhai said. At this time, he said with a hesitant look: "Just now, the village chief said that there were elves coming out of the mountains, saying that they were like this. It's weird. If a "monster" like the Wild Boar King comes out with the elves, something might happen.
He told us that he regretted reciting the spell in the forest to use the "flying skill". .
It was the spell that attracted the group of wild monkeys, but fortunately they were not jackals or leopards."
Several people from the provincial TV station nodded, "The old man said it was a way to deceive the elves. If the elves hear it, it won't work anymore and they will get angry and punish the tribesmen
If it weren't for the blessing of the land god, there would be trouble. "
"Huh? Is there any other way to say this? ”
Chen Ling and Shanmao were a little surprised. Without going into more details, they continued to talk about the Wild Boar King.
After all, the Wild Boar King is something that can be seen. .
It is also very threatening to the mountain people.
The so-called ‘mountain spirits’ and ‘elves’ cannot be seen or touched.
Except for those who believe in this, most people will not really believe in things that are purely based on people’s imagination.
But after spending the night in Ranjiazhai.
When I woke up early in the morning, I heard someone making noise outside.
It is said that a large group of wild sheep and wild deer ran out of the mountains, passed by Sanxiping, and went to the mountains and forests below.
It left many feces and dense hoof prints.
On the hillsides behind several Miao villages, wild sheep and deer were caught in the traps and traps used to deal with wild boars.
At this time, Yu Qian and others, who had returned to their senses after a night, were instantly confused: "Is this... really driven by the mountain spirit?"
