Hundred Ghosts

What Taoist priests pursue is to follow their heart. Of course, they can eat meat, but they can’t kill animals to make meat by themselves. The vegetarian food in Taoist temples is prepared by senior brothers, while the meat is specially prepared by chefs.

"The priest took some meat back?"

Lin Zi waved his hand and looked around, "No, let's go... Where is He Huai? He was still here just now!"

He Huai walked out of the house pretending to be calm, and greeted him as calmly as possible, "I'm here!"

"Where did you go?"

"Just stand here."

"There was no one here just now."

Lei Orion also nodded to show that Lin Zi was right, He Huai clearly hid in the house just now.

"Oh, I just looked around..." He Huai stared at the ax in his hand with dazed eyes, like a rabbit seeing a tiger...

He changed the topic, "Let's go, it will be dark again in a while, and you are still waiting to go back to drink medicine."

Lin Zi's heart trembled, thinking that he must spend a little more time, and he might forget about it when he returned home late.

The taste of Huaier is really unforgettable.

Helping Lei Orion to push the trolley full of prey into the mountain was a waste of time. The deer on the trolley did not shake when it saw the original forest. Its round eyes looked around, and it was still panting behind the trolley. Lin Zi actually felt a little envious of it...

He didn't want to push it anymore, but also wanted to sit on it!

"It's been a long journey!" Lei Orion put down the cart and pointed to the place where the blood was still there. "This is where I catch prey. Usually there are a lot of prey here, such as wolves, rabbits, wild boars... Anything you want."

The ice on the creek ahead hadn't melted yet, plump wild sparrows were jumping and jumping on the ice, and in front of it was a black rabbit plunging headfirst into the snowdrift.

"Oh?" Lin Zi panted heavily on the scooter, "Look... there is a stream in front of this place, and there are not many trees nearby, and there are many fresh grasses, which can easily attract herbivores. There are more herbivores, like Carnivorous animals like wolves will also come, and then...you come."

It made sense, Lei Orion touched his nose and said, "Then let's bury the body first?"

"Okay, I don't want to leave either, let the living ones be released, and the dead ones be buried."

"Come on, sit here and rest, Lei Orion, you dig a hole first, I will release these living prey." Asking Lin Zi to move, He Huai dragged the deer down and cut off the rope on its feet .

After being tied up for a long time, the deer could not stand still for a long time. He Huai helped it up. After a while, the two deer limped away.

Two of the sparrows in the net bag died, and the remaining ones were trembling all over. He Huai touched its chest soothingly with his fingers. Its heart was beating violently, as if it would burst at any moment.

He Huai put them some distance away from here, and when he walked over, they all flew away.

There were also two rabbits, one was already dead, and the other was lame. Lin Zi looked at its paws, maybe it wouldn't survive if it was put back.

Lin Zi asked tentatively, "How about we take it back?"

He Huai looked back at him, "Do you want to eat braised rabbit head?"

"..."

You can shut up!

"Okay, okay, I admit that I was wrong, don't stare at me... If you want to take it back, take it back, we still have food to feed it."

Lei Orion sighed, "You two have such a good relationship...Look, it's alright to dig so deep, right?"

"We've known each other for more than half a year, and... He Huai is quite a nice person." Lin Zi took a look, "It's almost there, let's bury it."

He Huai's heart fluttered immediately when he heard Lin Zi say that he was nice, and he walked over to him and smiled like a flower.

Lei Orion buried the carcasses of the prey again, and after spreading the soil, he was worried again, "There are also carrion animals here, will they be picked out again?"

He Huai spread his hands, "Then don't care about your business."

"Fine……"

After stepping on the hole, Lei Orion pulled the wooden cart and walked towards the stream, broke through the thin ice, took a piece of cloth hanging from the cart and shook it in the water, and then wiped off the blood on the cart.

Twist the cloth into the water again, and hang it back on the car board. He stretched his red hands from the cold to cover his neck, and said with a sigh, "Okay, let's go down the mountain quickly, really. Sorry to take you so long."

"Where is this, let's go... Come here quickly!" Lin Zi's tone suddenly became serious, and his face was sharp, which made him jump.

"what?"

"Don't look back, come here quickly." He Huai's complexion was also ugly, staring at the direction behind him... What is he looking at?

He turned away.

There is a woman standing across a stream from her. The woman has long black and shiny hair. She looks pretty good, but there are several inches of green hair growing on her chest. She is wearing nothing on her upper body, and her lower body is only wearing Wearing leopard skin.A pair of bare feet stepped in the cold stream.

Behind her was a leopard, staring at them fiercely.

After all, he had spent more than ten years on this mountain, Lei Orion bit the tip of his tongue, and quickly ran to Lin Zi's side.

"Daozhang, she... what is she?"

"She is a mountain ghost, can drive wild beasts, and has a strong desire for revenge."

If it was just a ghost, no matter how powerful Lin Zi was, she would dare to give it a go, but she was not just a ghost, she was also a mountain demon, a mountain god.

She can control all kinds of beasts, but he dare not fight with them!

The ground under her feet seemed to be shaking, and countless beasts came out of the jungle behind her, tigers, wolves, jackals, wild boars... staring at them fiercely.

"Dao... Daoist, what should we do now?"

"I can't help it, I'm not a beast tamer...I'll see if I can reason with her..." Lin Zi's mind was muddled, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

He Huai grabbed his hand and ran back, "What are you talking about, don't run while you have the opportunity!"

The mountain ghost is really not easy to mess with. If there is only one person, he alone... No, a tree can definitely escape, but if you take the two of them, you can neither turn into a tree and take root in the ground to hide them, nor can you hide it from them. It is not possible to change the tree on the spot and then convert it back to the city.

As soon as they moved their feet, the wild beast caught up. How could human feet compare to the beast's legs, and they were surrounded by wild beasts not long after.

Lin Zi: "..."

If you can't run away, it's better to let him say a few words first.

The mountain ghost chased after her, but Lin Zi was embarrassed to look at her legs, turned his face away, and said, "It's so offensive to pass by here, I beg your majesty... Miss Mountain Ghost, let us go."

He Huai was very depressed, "You are quite familiar with what you say?"

"On the way I was looking for you, I encountered eight bandits' dens," Lin Zi said softly, "That's how a group of people surrounded them first."

He Huai hurriedly asked him, "Then how did you escape?"

"I summoned ghosts in the middle of the night to frighten them."

But the problem is that beasts are not afraid of ghosts!

Lei Orion couldn't listen anymore, "We didn't mess with her, did we? Can't we just tell her to let us go?"

Lin Zi smiled wryly, "I said it just now, did you see that she listened?"

The mountain ghost grinned, and slowly raised his hand. The surrounding beasts looked like they were ready to attack. Seeing the sharp fangs, Lin Zi was terrified. If he bit into his throat...but there was no chance of him surviving.

He glanced at the ax and sickle in Lei Orion's hand.

But He Huai and Lei Orion might be able to do it. He Huai can take the enemy's head with thousands of horses, and he might be able to chop it off with an ax and sickle.

If I only know how to draw symbols, following them will only slow me down... It's better to use it as a bait to resist one or two, and buy them some time.

Lin Zi smiled wryly in his heart, and turned around to tell He Huai the plan, "He..."

There was a sudden pain in the back of his neck, and his body suddenly softened, but he didn't fall, but was caught by He Huai. In a blur of consciousness, he grabbed He Huai's hand, and soon fell powerlessly.

It's strange how the general's hands are so hard...like wood...

He thought sadly again, he was willing to be a bait, but He Huai's doing so made him feel very uncomfortable...

At the same time, Lei Orion's voice was heard, "Brother He, what are you doing..."

After the two of them fell to the ground and lost consciousness... Lei Orion fell to the ground, and Lin Zi was hugged by his waist.

A seedling quickly sprang up behind the place where He Huai was standing, and grew into a tall tree at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The long tree roots broke through the ground and entwined tightly around the beast's feet or waist. The tighter the beasts struggled and wailed, the pain was more of fear than pain.

The mountain ghost whose legs and waist were strangled by tree roots glared at him resentfully, put down his hands and whistled.

He Huai slowly retracted the roots of the tree, and the out-of-control mountain ghost stared at him and retreated, and the howling of the beasts gradually stopped.

Then the tree roots on the beast loosened, and He Huai smiled at her, "I offended you just now, we are really just passing by here, if he doesn't want to let us go, please let us go, if not, you can try with me. "

The roots of the tree returned to the ground, and the beasts who had regained their freedom hid behind the mountain ghost, staring at He Huai vigilantly.

The mountain ghost stared at him thoughtfully for a while, then left with the beast.

He Huai breathed a long sigh of relief, and leaned against the locust tree to wait for Lin Zi and Lei Orion to wake up.

This wasted a lot of his effort...

He Huai knocked and looked no different from ordinary people, but actually smiled wryly with his hard hands.

Listen, what a crisp wood sound.

Not only that, but also his feet and body.It took him a lot of energy to pick the Huaier that was attached to him to make medicine for Lin Zi, and suddenly planting such a big tree, he didn't have enough yang energy to control this body.

He Huai thought to himself that Lin Zi couldn't find out about his appearance, maybe that little thing could take him with the whole talisman...

Although most of his talismans are useless to him.

And if he knew that he was cheating on him for so long by a man in disguise who had a bad intention for him, he would definitely be angry too.

He Huai could see that he wasn't angry, but he was still angry with himself. He could be regarded as a big monster who had lived in the world for hundreds of years. He had fallen in love with Lin Zi alone for hundreds of years, so he was not willing to let go.

If he lets go, how many hundreds of years will he have to wait.
