Chapter 177 Huang Pizi asks for the title!
I found a convenient place to place two bare ginkgo tree trunks.
Li Siyu stopped Zhang Hao and shared with him his design plan, such as the orientation of the house, the scope of the courtyard, the best location for the gate, and the height of the fence, etc.
After hearing Li Siyu's initial idea, he also put forward a lot of opinions based on his own understanding of the mountain.
For example, the walls of the courtyard must be higher to prevent animals that can jump from entering the courtyard.
Although there will be mountain sacred deer stationed here in the future, and Xiaobai will often come up to guard the house, it would not be good if an animal with no eyes jumped into the courtyard that day and caused damage.
Furthermore, Zhang Hao also made corresponding adjustments based on his knowledge of Feng Shui. For example, the door was moved twenty centimeters to the left, which improved the entire courtyard's ability to block Yin Qi. Some, and at the same time, the whole house is filled with spirituality.
Subsequently, after some minor adjustments, the preliminary plan for the outer layer was basically determined, and Li Siyu also started a new round of measurement work.
Just measuring the outer layer is not enough. The inside of the house also needs to be measured, such as the scope of the house, the size of the room, or the floor area, etc., all of which require further consideration.
After all, self-built houses are very important, and they are all planned according to how to live comfortably and how to build them more conveniently.
These need to be done in advance. After all the planning is done, you just need to start work directly.
Zhang Hao saw that things were going on here in an orderly manner. He took a short rest, turned around and climbed on the deer's back, heading towards the ginkgo forest.
He still needs to cut down some more ginkgo tree trunks today to use as reserves for building houses.
Not long after, he returned to the ginkgo forest.
There was no shortage of things like the diesel saw, the solid spirit basket, etc., and they were still placed where they were.
In the mountains, Zhang Hao is not afraid of these things being stolen. First of all, it is rare for people to come to such a deep place in the mountains. Then, even if someone does steal these things, Zhang Hao rides a mountain deer. It won't take long to get it back, and you can also teach the person who stole it a lesson.
But when Zhang Hao just picked up the diesel saw and was about to cut the next tree, his eyes were fixed and he was immediately attracted by a long and narrow mark on the ground.
It's...this mark again.
Zhang Hao tried hard to recall the time when he cut down the tree before, and made sure that he had never seen this mark.
In other words, this mark was after he took the Mountain God Deer back, and the thing came here again, deliberately leaving this mark here to attract his attention.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but start to wonder, what on earth is this?
Is he really a mountain treasure?
The most important thing is that if this thing is a mountain treasure, it should logically avoid the mountain walker. The mountain treasure is the most afraid of being caught, and the mountain walker wants to catch the mountain treasure.
It cannot be said that the two are incompatible, at least it is not a good relationship.
Of course, there are also mountain treasures that proactively find the walkers, but those are also somewhat special, such as ancient trees. That is because the walkers cannot capture them, nor will they capture them.
But the thing that left this mark found him again and again.
At first, when there was a mudslide, he created an illusion for himself, allowing himself to see Fengdu, and almost fell off the cliff to his death.
The second time, he lured Li Siyu to another place. Fortunately, Li Siyu broke free in time, and then met the ancient tree again, and then found himself.
The third time this thing actually came to my door and left a mark on it, which made me realize that this was a sign that it was prepared and was done on purpose.
But what is the purpose of this thing... is it to lure me there?
Zhang Hao quickly went through possible suspected mountain treasures or things with similar characteristics in his mind, but after searching his brain's memory, he still couldn't find the corresponding target, and he was even still confused.
Looking at the marks in front of him, he pondered for a moment, put down the diesel saw, led the mountain god deer, and decided to follow these marks to get acquainted with this thing for a while.
He picked up the Guling Basket and took the Mountain God Deer with him, following the mark left by that thing.
The main reason why he held the Mountain God Deer was that since the thing dared to lure him there, it meant that the thing might have some tricks. As long as this thing might be harmful to him, he would immediately ride on the Mountain God Deer and run away.
Even if he can be deceived, he can be affected by hallucinations, but the Mountain God Deer will never do it. As long as the Mountain God Deer is around, that thing can't hurt him.
Continuing to move forward along the mark, Zhang Hao soon walked out of the ginkgo forest and came to a forest path.
As we continue to move forward, there are more and more marks, and soon the whole road is covered with that kind of mark. There are even long and short marks, more and less, as if there is not one thing, but many. Many of the same things are wandering around here, leaving these elusive marks.
Zhang Hao straightened up, looked at the marks in front of him, and paused. He did not continue to move forward, but was thinking about whether to go back.
Because he has been walking for at least ten minutes since he left the ginkgo forest. Within ten minutes, if that thing was really waiting for him, he would have encountered it long ago and would never have walked so far. , he still didn't encounter it, only saw some marks.
After thinking about it, Zhang Hao immediately turned around, holding the mountain god deer and preparing to walk back.
To be honest, he has given up the idea of meeting that thing now. Not to mention that it is too insincere, and Zhang Hao now feels more and more that the other party is not necessarily a mountain treasure, but maybe something else, something unknown. , even if you see it, you may not be able to get anything. It is better to just let this thing leave marks everywhere.
The most important thing is that this thing lured him here but never saw him, which means that this thing is still afraid of something, or it wants to wait until everything is safe before appearing again. Zhang Hao will naturally not give that thing this chance.
But just when he turned around and raised his head, he found that the surroundings had become completely dark. Except for the trees, stones, and the road under his feet within 3 meters in front of him, other places were invisible. Five fingers.
Zhang Hao didn't panic at all, but the corners of his mouth turned up.
This shows that that thing couldn't hold it any longer. When it saw that he wanted to leave, it jumped out decisively and wanted to keep him.
Oh.
It is still a thing in the mountains, and even if it has spiritual intelligence, it is still shallow. If this is a scheming person, it will never appear at this time.
Zhang Hao thought about it, but ignored it. It was as if he didn't realize that the surroundings had turned dark at all. He continued to move forward with his head sullenly, holding the mountain god deer.
Just then.
"Roar!"
On the forest path in front of Zhang Hao, a tiger suddenly appeared. The tiger opened its bloody mouth, let out a heart-shaking roar, and rushed towards Zhang Hao.
But Zhang Hao turned a blind eye and continued walking forward. Just when the tiger's open bloody mouth was about to touch Zhang Hao's body, the tiger suddenly disappeared.
Then, brown bears, demons, black and white impermanence, and even the ten kings of hell appeared one by one, all trying to stop Zhang Hao from moving forward.
But Zhang Hao was not affected by anything at all, and continued to move forward without looking at the hallucinations. As long as the mountain god deer did not remind him that he was in danger, he would ignore it. In this way, after walking a certain distance, Zhang Hao found that the darkness around him was gradually fading away, revealing the light hidden within, and he finally confirmed his suspicion.
When he saw those messy marks, he kept thinking, why did that thing leave so many marks? Is it because that thing wanted to leave them?
Obviously not.
There is only one possibility. Those messy marks are either traps set by that thing, or that thing wants to use these marks to do something.
Now it seems that that thing just wants me to observe those marks, and then forcefully pulls me into the hallucination, forcing me to do something.
It was the same before, but he was woken up by Xiaobai.
But this time, he ignored it and simply let that thing play out to see what tricks it could play. Looking at it now, it was nothing more than that.
It's still the same as before, no progress.
Just thinking about it, at this moment.
As Zhang Hao's sight became wider and wider, the darkness around him became less and less. On the forest path under his feet, the weeds beside him suddenly trembled, and then, a man wearing a coat walked out. Broken cassock, short figure.
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment and looked at the figure.
"Wearing cassocks? Is this a monk?"
But...is this monk too young?
Zhang Hao was very confused, but before he could think about it further, he saw the figure wearing a torn cassock raised his head, revealing a face with sinister eyebrows, rat eyes, and a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
"Weasel?"
Zhang Hao stopped and was even more surprised. He didn't expect that the person wrapped in the cassock was actually a yellow man!
Moreover, it is indeed a bit funny for Huangpizi to wear a cassock, because his stature is too short, which makes the cassock very ill-fitting.
At this moment, Zhang Hao was sizing up the weasel, just watching quietly without speaking, and with no intention of coming forward.
Experience told him that this weasel should be the so-called initiator, that is, the thing that led him here.
After all, the weasel is still more in line with its previous behaviors.
For example, at the beginning, he found a mark in the mudslide, so he thought it was a mountain treasure, so he went to look for it, but he didn't want to be trapped by the illusion.
Weasels are good at creating hallucinations. It is said that weasels' farts are extremely smelly and smoky. Once a weasel farts, you can't see anything.
But what the world doesn’t know is that it’s just ordinary weasels that fart and escape, but if it’s a weasel with spiritual intelligence, it can create hallucinations for people, and this kind of hallucination is so strong that even a mountain walker will fall into it if he is not careful. trick.
Afterwards, the information provided to him by the ancient tree was that this thing could be disguised as anything in the mountain, and the weasel was the best at camouflaging the mountain monster.
It is also different from foxes. In ancient folk customs, people often believed that foxes would turn into beautiful women and absorb people's essence.
The folk customs that mention weasels are mostly about Wong Tai Sin, a family fairy who protects us. There are positive and negative comments. But what the world rarely knows is that weasels can rely on their own intelligence in the mountains to deceive all the people. The things in the mountain made the things in the mountain mistake him for anything, even the ancient trees couldn't tell the difference.
This was even more true today. If that thing was a weasel, it would explain why the weasel was so persistent in trying to lure him here.
And the few times before, I wanted to lure myself to find Him.
This weasel tried to lure him over again and again, maybe it was to ask for the title of the weasel?
There are also many rumors among the people about the weasel's quest for seal.
Most of the time, someone goes into the mountains and encounters a weasel that has been practicing for thousands of years. Then the weasel jumps in front of the person and asks the person, "Do you think I look like a human, or do I look like a god?"
If the answer is like a human, then this person and his family will suffer disaster, because the weasel wants to become a god, and if you deliberately tell it to be like a human, then the weasel will definitely take revenge.
But if you answer like a god, then you will bear the cause and effect of the weasel becoming a god, and you will bear the karmic debt.
Therefore, in folk custom, some people say that if you encounter a weasel asking for a seal, it means that this person must have done something that is outrageous to both humans and gods, so the weasel comes to punish this person.
Recalling these records and the folk tales he heard, Zhang Hao still didn't move even half a step and continued to look at them in silence.
Just then.
The weasel standing in the middle of the path, blocking the way, stared at Zhang Hao with its two wise and confusing eyes. Its sharp mouth was slightly opened, revealing its sharp fangs and long tongue.
"Do you think I look like a human, or do I look like a Buddha?"
Sure enough, the weasel began to ask for a seal.
That sharp, harsh, and confusing voice instantly reached Zhang Hao's ears.
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes and was surprised.
Like a human or like a Buddha?
Why not be like God, but be like Buddha?
And why is this weasel still wearing a cassock full of holes?
Interesting.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hao naturally didn't think of the reason.
As if it couldn't wait any longer, the weasel opened its mouth again and asked in a sharp voice: "Do you think I look like a human, or do I look like a Buddha?"
Zhang Hao still didn't answer, and even prepared to continue walking forward.
The weasel was still reluctant and asked again: "Do you think I look like a human being or do I look like a Buddha?"
When Zhang Hao passed by the weasel, he looked at the weasel sideways and said angrily: "I think you look like a Gou Ba!"
