Chapter 12 Chapter 11 A creature that is neither ape nor human

Wen Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and then he met the resolute gaze of the little old man.Wen Baoyu knew that the Miao people had no reason to give away his saber while he was alive, so he still hesitated. At this moment, the little old man said a few words, and the owner of the cave immediately explained: "This knife was prepared for Lansi by twelve of them with great painstaking efforts. It may be useful to you now, so I will give it to you first." Wen Baoyu was overjoyed in his heart, he tightened his hands, and held the saber in his hand, and also raised it high, the saber shone coldly under the sun, making people dare not look at it directly.The owner of the cave took a deep breath: "In the entire Lanjiadong, this knife is the best."

Wen Baoyu said loudly: "Thank you, I will definitely not disappoint this knife." As he spoke, he shrank and straightened his body, waved the back of his hand, and performed a set of saber techniques extremely quickly. Do you still remember that Wen Baoyu and Bai Boss were very speculative?Boss Bai liked Wen Baoyu, and once boasted that he would pass on his martial arts to Wen Baoyu.Of course, it would take at least ten or eight years to teach them all, which is impossible—it is very rare for modern people to spend such a long time practicing Kung Fu.But it doesn't take much time to teach only some moves, such as boxing, saber, sword, etc. Wen Baoyu is quick to learn thanks to his intelligence and good memory.

At this time, the set of saber techniques that Wen Baoyu used in front of the Miao people was the set of quick saber techniques taught by Boss Bai.This set of sword skills was created by Boss Bai when he was middle-aged. He boasted that the characteristics of this set of quick knife skills are that one move is not old, and the next move is repeated. It is the second, second only to the Hu family's quick sword technique, but because the Hu family's quick knife technique has been lost since Hu Fei (Flying Fox), so in fact, it is the first. Wen Baoyu didn't have any foundation in martial arts, besides, at this moment, he was still hungover and his steps were frivolous.But at a young age, after all, he is still flexible.In addition, this set of saber moves is indeed superior. Although Wen Baoyu sent it in a mess, if Boss Bai was present, he might be so angry that he would vomit blood, but in the eyes of the Miao people, that kind of tricks , It’s already dazzled——Miao people use knives, they have solid teeth, and they pay attention to practical utility. How can there be so many tricks?

In addition, the saber is indeed a good saber, once it is swung, under the sunlight, it will dazzle brightly, sparkling one after another, making everyone stunned for a moment. Only the Twelve Heavenly Officials have real knowledge in martial arts. I can see that the saber techniques practiced by Wen Baoyu, the combination of human swords and swords, although they are very beautiful, but their steps are vain, which violates the way of martial arts. Hands, vulnerable.But the twelve people looked at each other, but no one said anything.They are not hiding anything for Wen Baoyu, but they have the same thought: I am afraid that it is a more advanced martial art. They have heard that among the Central Plains martial arts, they specialize in picking drunk characters, such as Drunken Eight Immortals Boxing, which are very advanced. Well, I'm afraid Wen Baoyu's saber skills also belong to this category, so they naturally dare not make rash comments.

Wen Baoyu finished playing a set of saber techniques, his face was flushed and he was out of breath, and there were beads of sweat from the boss, but that did not hinder the appreciation of him by all the Miao people in Dongdong. In his eyes, Wen Baoyu felt the degree of respect he received, and he also felt strangely excited. At this time, several old women brought food and wine, accompanied by the cave master and the twelve heavenly officials, together with the eight mountain climbers, they sat on the ground and began to eat and drink again.Wen Baoyu knew that he was going to travel a long distance, so he didn't dare to drink anymore, so his mind was quite clear.So he remembered last night, the question that had been on his mind all the time.

He raised this question to the owner of the cave: "Since the whole cave is up and down, then I hope to save Yue Yiyue from the evil forces, why not take action?" As soon as he asked, the cave master showed a very embarrassed expression, he didn't answer at first, but repeated Wen Baoyu's question to the rest of the people, and all the people showed the same expression. Wen Baoyu judged by appearance, just thought that the Miao people must have something hard to say, and it is not suitable for him to ask further, Dongzhu has already sighed: "We have taken actions before, but we have never succeeded."

Wen Baoyu was stunned for a moment: "How far has it failed?" The owner of the cave sighed again: "There is no result at all. People who go up the mountain can't find where the other moon is." Wen Baoyu raised his eyebrows: "They all came back safely?" It took a long time for Dongzhu to answer this question: "Yes, they are all back, but...the things to be done have not been done at all. This is also a fatal blow for a warrior...So, It happens so much that no one dares to try again." Wen Baoyu was in a very relaxed mood at the time. He knew that the warriors of the Miao people must have taken their failure very seriously after retreating in vain, and most of them felt sorry for themselves. This kind of situation is sometimes even more terrifying than death. Naturally, if there are too many times, no one will dare to try it again.But he didn't have such a psychological burden at all, even if he couldn't find it, it was no big deal.

Of course, he also thought that if he couldn't find that moon, that is, if he failed to pass the "ladder to heaven", things would inevitably be very bad, but it would be better than the situation of the Miao people. As for later, he also knew that the Miao warriors had a heavy psychological burden-they felt that after they challenged the evil and failed, it was equal to the victory of the evil, and after the victory of the evil, the evil would inevitably haunt them. Because they firmly believe that such a situation will happen, they scare themselves, how can they not feel depressed since then?

Of course, that's another day. After a full meal, the eight mountain climbers also pushed out a leader. The leader pointed to Wen Baoyu and said a lot of things. Wen Baoyu understood less than 10%. All interpreted for him.It turned out that the man asked Wen Baoyu to wait for a while, and he was going to prepare some equipment needed for climbing mountains and ridges.At the same time, they also expressed their confidence to Wen Baoyu—they were also afraid of retreating in vain, and they dared not go alone, but with the leadership of Wen Baoyu, a "warrior sent from heaven", they naturally became more courageous.

Before departure, there were some ceremonies, so it was already in the afternoon when the real departure took place. Although Wen Baoyu said that he had a heavy responsibility, but he was very relaxed. All the equipment was carried by the eight Miao people, and there was even a soft bag for him to ride in, but Wen Baoyu firmly refused, even if it was walking, Wen Baoyu With nothing else on his body except the sharp knife, he was naturally much more relaxed. Wen Baoyu knew that his physical strength was far from those of the eight Miao people. Once on the road, each of the eight Miao people carried at least 30 kilograms of weight, but they really walked like flying. At first, Wen Baoyu could barely keep up. After more than half an hour, he couldn't keep up, and had no choice but to gesture and talk: "The moon has been on the mountain for many years, and we are not in a hurry. Why should we go so fast? Can't we go slowly?"

At first, the eight Miao people looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Wen Baoyu was talking about, because Wen Baoyu thought they were walking fast, but to them, they were just walking at a normal speed, so it was difficult to understand.Of course, I finally understood that they respected Wen Baoyu very much, and they didn't mean to despise Wen Baoyu. Shout out loud. Walking and stopping like this, Wen Baoyu had only walked about ten miles when the sun was setting. Wen Baoyu wanted to enjoy the sunset again, and said a series of praises for the magnificent scenery to the eight Miao people. Not to mention that the eight Miao people couldn't understand his polite words at all, even if they did, they would be stunned, not knowing what was so special about the big sunrise and sunset they had seen since they were young. But they still listened very respectfully, not daring to express any dissatisfaction with Wen Baoyu. It was getting dark, and they camped beside a clear water pool. The Miao people's "camp" used local materials. Eight people cut off branches with seedling knives, built a shelf, and then spread a huge plant leaf (Wen Baoyu called it I don’t know the name), and then, a bonfire was lit, and there were two sharpened branches. In the pool, there were many fish. They only picked a gray one, like an eel and slightly flattened. All the fish are grilled, and all the other fish are thrown back into the pool. That kind of unknown fish is very fragrant when grilled, and the Miao people carry salt with them. In Miaojiang, salt is a very precious thing. Offering it with both hands, Wen Baoyu will use it first. Wen Baoyu finally knew some of the habits of the Miao people at Lansi, so he took the salt block from everyone's hands, scraped off a little bit with the Miao knife, and then returned the salt block to the person with the cut off salt block. Seasoned with salt, the fish has no small bones, and the mouth is so smooth and plump. After eating, the Miao people lit the straw to smoke inside and outside the tent, and the straw gave off extremely pungent smoke. ——After being smoked once, it can prevent the invasion of poisonous insects. Wen Baoyu slept very soundly. When he woke up the next morning, the Miao people had already roasted a deer. Wen Baoyu felt that he was not "building a ladder", but like an emperor on a tour. At this time, he had at least a hundred times in his heart. The above is blaming me for making a fuss, it’s just a ladder, what’s the big deal, it’s not so easy! In his way of traveling, it was not until three days later that he climbed over two mountains and reached the bottom of that peak. When I came closer to see the peak, I realized that the mountain was really extremely steep. When I looked up, I couldn't see the peak at all. Wen Baoyu found a relatively flat place, and simply lay down on his back, but still couldn't see the peak. Layers of cloud bands obscured the line of sight. After three or five days, Wen Baoyu's "Bunu" made great progress. He asked: "Among you, who has ever climbed this mountain?" The eight people shook their heads together when they heard this, and Wen Baoyu asked again: "Since you are all good mountain climbers, why don't you come and have a try?" This question is more complicated. Wen Baoyu explained it for a long time, but the eight Miao people still didn't understand.Wen Baoyu thought that even if the Miao people understood and answered his question, it was impossible for him to understand, so he gave up asking no more. They started climbing the mountain at noon that day. The process of climbing the peak was unexpectedly smooth. Wen Baoyu estimated that even if he reached the top of the peak, it would take four or five days. According to legend, the moon is "halfway up the mountain". There can be results. That night, after being drunk and full of food, Wen Baoyu stayed in a cave that was cleaned for him by his followers Miao people. The next day, the situation did not change. The weather was very good that day, and the view was very good. Looking up, the peak pierced the sky, towering and majestic, and it was extremely spectacular. Staying in the cave again that night, Wen Baoyu began to think about how he should start to act.After climbing the mountain, he fully understood why the Miao people in Lanjiadong failed in their search for the "moon" many times.Because there are many large and small caves on the mountain peak, and most of the places are full of derived vines, which are very densely coiled. I am afraid that no force has dared to challenge them since ancient times. Even if you know the height of the destination, it is not easy to find it, let alone "halfway up the mountain" in general, let alone what you are looking for! The Miao people firmly believed that it was "another moon", and Wen Baoyu naturally knew it was impossible.But with his wild imagination, he couldn't think of what it was. Wen Baoyu couldn't figure it out at the time, but friends who read this story, of course, already knew that what the Miao people considered to be "another moon" was the "cosmic locator" that Du Ling's kind placed in that cave. One point has already been written, so there is no suspense. Aliens have used this cosmic locator irregularly for many times. Every time they use it, the locator may leave the cave. Since it is a "glowing sphere", it suddenly appeared in the dark and was captured by the Miao people. It is also very natural to think that it is "another moon"! Since the Miao people believed that the luminous sphere was "another moon", they naturally felt that this moon should be the same as that one, appearing every night, full and short.But "another moon" has no such laws at all, and the Miao people don't understand the reason.I had no choice but to use my rich imagination to enrich it, so over time, there was a saying that "the moon is imprisoned by evil forces", and it became the responsibility of the warriors to save the moon. However, when the warriors climbed the mountain, they couldn't find the cave at all, and naturally all of them returned without success, just like Wen Baoyu at this time, although he went up the mountain in a hurry.However, the area of ​​"halfway up the mountain" is so large that Wen Baoyu didn't even know what he was looking for. He was in the cave that night, after thinking about it, he had already decided to "fight for a long time". Anyway, there are wild fruits on the mountain. There are birds, fish in mountain streams, and all kinds of animals, and caves are available for shelter. Even if you look for it for a year or so, there is no problem. Wen Baoyu is very optimistic. He always thinks in the positive direction of everything. There are good and bad attitudes towards life like this. The good thing is not to take difficulties as a matter of course, and go forward bravely, so the chances of success are naturally high.The bad thing is that if you don't make a correct estimate of the difficult elements, you will be more likely to lose in the face of difficulties. Wen Baoyu's thoughts that night were carried out completely according to his own way of thinking, and no one could discuss with him at all—the eight Miao people did not sleep in the same cave with him out of respect for him. He was optimistic, hoping that during his search, that "another moon" would suddenly appear once, then it would be much easier. Knowing its location, it would naturally be easy to solve it. Even if he doesn't show up, he is prepared to search for it for a long time - he doesn't know how much time it will take.He only knew that he would never be so lucky that he could discover something within ten days! There was only one thing he was anxious about: he pulled the big lie, lied to his parents, and went to Australia to find a school. If he didn't return for a long time, his parents would definitely expose the lie. According to what he said afterwards: when he thought of this, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he couldn't think about it—of course I don't believe that he would really be that anxious, he said exaggeratedly, It was because he knew that his parents had come to him and caused me great inconvenience, so that I could sympathize with him! Wen Baoyu's decision to "resist the war for a long time" was naturally his fault. Later, when I severely reprimanded him, he said, "Then what should I do?" This time, even Bai Su sent him: "After you know that the matter will not be completed in a short time, you should go down the mountain first, try to inform us of the situation, and then go up the mountain to be a savage!" Wen Baoyu lowered his head and thought for a while before saying: "Yes, I was wrong, I apologize to everyone!" These are all postscripts - this story, in the process of narrating, has many "postscripts", everyone must have noticed, this is naturally a form of story writing. Or some people will say: there are so many "postscripts", it is certain that Wen Baoyu was not killed or injured on the mountain, which greatly reduces the element of thrills, and thrills will naturally occur, but even if there are no "postscripts", the situation of Wen Baoyu on the mountain , Write in a suspenseful way, who would believe that Wen Baoyu would die in Miaojiang?It would be even more interesting not to add this kind of suspense that we know will not happen. That night, Wen Baoyu tossed and turned, thinking for a long time. Naturally, he couldn't help but think of Lansi. He couldn't help being fascinated when he thought of being able to live with Lansi in this paradise-like environment. He stepped out of the cave and asked the Miao people. I ordered a bamboo tube of wine, poured it myself, drank it completely, tossed and fell asleep at dawn, and when I was about to fall asleep, I felt a mountain wind outside the cave, and the sound of the wind was very strong. It's like a thousand horses galloping to roast. Because the eight Miao people were very experienced, the cave they chose was leeward from the wind, so no matter how strong the wind was, they couldn't get into the cave. Wen Baoge's drunkenness welled up, coupled with the fact that he was extremely tired, the roar of the wind became the best sound of sleep. He was in a daze, only felt that the eight Miao people seemed to be entering a cave. I came to see him, and then, amidst the sound of the wind, he fell into a deep sleep and entered the dreamland. He really slept very deeply. The wine brewed by the Miao people is sweet and easy to drink, but the alcohol content is quite high and it is easy to make people drunk. Wen Baoyu is not good at drinking (kid, what kind of wine are you drinking!), but because of his extremely strange experience (imagine, he is suddenly in the Miao border, with a Miao sword on his waist, and a ladder to the sky, and is charged with saving a moon. This kind of encounter, I am afraid that only characters in cartoons can encounter it!), so he was emotional for a while, and naturally started to drink. The reason why he said in detail that he drank that night is because if he hadn't been drinking and slept so soundly that night, the development of the situation in the future might be completely different. Wen Baoyu didn't know how long he had slept before he woke up. Before he opened his eyes, he turned around first, and let out a natural sound after falling asleep.At this moment, he already knew something was wrong! He chose a flat place to sleep in the cave, and spread a straw mat brought by the Miao people. Although the straw mat was not very soft, it was quite comfortable to lie on. When, there will be no sound. However, at this moment, when he turned around, there was a sound of "Xisuo".Moreover, what the hand touches is by no means a straw mat. Before Wen Baoyu opened his eyes, he muttered, "What kind of tricks are you doing?" When Wen Baoyu said this, he thought it was the eight Miao people who accompanied him up the mountain, but something was wrong. He opened his eyes while talking, and the first thing he saw was a pair of round and big Eyes, those eyes reflect a kind of dark green gaze, like a ghost, very close to him, it seems that they are staring at him with burning eyes! Hao Duanduan woke up from a sleep and suddenly found such a pair of eyes staring at him at close range. One can imagine how surprised he was.Wen Baoyu's reaction was that he didn't move at all, he just opened his mouth suddenly and yelled! After this yell, although he was in extreme panic, he could also know that he was no longer in the cave last night—the cave last night had a very strong echo, and he sighed loudly, and there were several times. The next echo reverberates out.But at this time he shouted loudly, but there was no answer. And following his loud shout, those eyes retreated at an extremely fast speed, about two meters away. The saying "a pair of eyes recedes" is of course not quite correct, because a pair of eyes cannot exist alone, they must belong to some kind of head, and the head must be connected with some kind of body.But after Wen Baoyu saw those eyes, because the situation was so weird, after he screamed, his gaze still stopped on those eyes, and he didn't pay attention to what kind of body those eyes belonged to! At that time, Wen Baoyu's thoughts were extremely disordered, and all the terrible things that I told him that might happen in Miaojiang all flooded into his mind, making him completely at a loss.Fortunately, when he yelled, those eyes moved away, which made him feel that yelling was of some use, so he yelled again, louder than the last time. But this time, his yelling had no effect, and his eyes were still in the original place. At this moment, Wen Baoyu also began to see clearly what kind of head those eyes belonged to, and what kind of body the head was connected with. When this boy told us what happened later, he didn't hide the panic in his heart, but he actually laughed at me like this: "When you told me about the dangers of Miaojiang, you only talked about poisonous insects and snakes, but I What I saw was simply frightening, because I didn't even know what it was!" When he was narrating to me, I also saw that "I don't know what it is", so I didn't blame him, but admired his calmness at that time, because according to his narration, his situation at that time was really dangerous Jue Lun, if he panicked for a moment, he would surely disappear into this lofty mountain from now on, leaving no bones left! At that moment, what Wen Baoyu saw were those eyes, which belonged to a human-like head with messy, long, knotted dark brown hair, a high nose, but on both sides of the nose, there were also long hairs of the same color on the face. The face also has a very wide mouth. Ordinarily, upon seeing such a face, the first thing that comes to mind should be: that is an ape. However, that's not an ape. Apes don't have such a wide mouth with never thick lips. So, undoubtedly human? But what kind of person is that?Wen Baoyu then saw the body connected to the head. The body was also full of long hairs. Looking at the body alone, it could be said to be an ape, but the creature's body was covered with a very broken skirt. Commonly worn by Hmong women. The apes in the mountains may be very good at imitating human behavior, but since this creature in front of him cannot be classified as an ape and is wearing a skirt, what should it be? Wen Baoyu felt that it was strange and inexplicable, so he naturally called out for the third time. At this time, he only hoped that his call could attract the eight Miao people, but his third call, But it only caused the creature to open its wide mouth and smile at him.
