The uncle smoked a cigarette in a muffled voice. I didn't urge him. The white cigarette paper burned little by little, and soon, there was only a cigarette butt left.
The uncle threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out with his foot, sighed and said: "Here, in addition to bears eating people and wolves attacking people, there is also a terrible legend, which has been around for a long time.
I heard that twenty years ago, an old man appeared here. She often wore a bloated coat and walked on this road. When she met people, she would ask them if they needed help. If anyone needed help, she would do her best. Meet that person's needs.
No matter what items or money he lacked, the old man would always give it to us. At that time, we all thought that a Bodhisattva had come to the world to save people who were suffering. "
"Isn't this great? That mysterious old man is not doing good things, nor is he committing evil."
I looked at the uncle doubtfully.
The uncle sighed again and said: "Oh! It is indeed like this. That old man is indeed well-known in the local area, and many people know her.
Some people who received her kindness later became rich and wanted to repay the kindness, but they could not find the old man. She was like windy sand in the desert, falling into the world and making it difficult to find.
In this way, the old man has always been in local legends, and many people have come here to see if they have a chance and hope to see the old man. But at this time, something happened that made all of us , my views on the elderly have changed.
I remember that ten years ago, an expedition team came to our side. They said they wanted to get rid of superstitions. There were more than 20 people. Their equipment was very complete. I had never seen it in my life. They came to explore and bring Such a complete expedition team.
This group of people entered this road and searched for nearly half a year. However, they all died and the bodies were randomly placed on the roadside, just like the man on the trough. My family was also short of money at that time, and I participated in moving the corpses. I saw it with my own eyes. "
"What uncle means is that the deaths of those people are related to that mysterious old lady."
I touched my chin and it felt weird.
That old man has been here for so many years and has never done any harm. Instead, he has been doing good deeds. Why did he kill someone in an instant?
He even wiped out a small team.
Even if something secret happens, it's not like his character has changed so much!
The uncle continued: "Well, the camera left behind by that team had recording footage. I was watching it secretly at that time. The high-definition was not as high as it is now. I saw a black figure appear in it, and then... Turn into a bear and eat all those people.”
"Shadow? Bear?"
I caught two key words.
The black figure is the key, and the sudden transformation into a bear is even more key.
If the camera wasn't fake, we'd be in really big trouble.
This damn thing is a bear demon!
A demon that can transform into a human has a strength of at least a thousand years.
At that level, you can already restrain your own demonic energy, making it difficult for others to notice. Even if he is standing next to you, you may not feel that it is a demon.
Don't look at the movies and TV shows where Taoist monks are always chasing evil spirits for thousands of years to kill them. In fact, this is both correct and incorrect.
In today's Xuanmen, there are indeed experts who can kill thousand-year-old monsters, but there are only a handful of them. Some of the people in movies and TV shows who chase thousand-year-old monsters and kill them are all top experts.
As for some people who have only been cultivating for a few years or a few months, if they want to chase others and kill them, the thousand-year-old demon can kill them just by taking a breath.
"No! Let's go back quickly."
My expression suddenly changed. If that old man was really evil, wouldn't Lin Xueling and the others be in danger?
When the uncle saw my sudden change in expression, he didn't ask any more questions, and we both ran back in a hurry.
I opened the thickly closed door and entered the house panting, but no one in the house had any trouble. When they saw us coming back in panic, they all stood up in a hurry and picked up the wooden sticks each.
"Is there a bear coming?"
"Hurry up and get the torch. I heard that wild animals are afraid of fire. Let's take advantage of the large number of people to scare him away."
"Fuck! Keep your voice down while riding. I heard that thing has a high IQ and can understand what we are saying. If it hears it, will we still have a chance to survive?"
"Brother Gao, you are still well-informed. Come here quickly, don't let the bear chasing you catch you."
I wiped away the cold sweat from the fright, took a few breaths and said, "It's okay, it's just too cold outside. Let's run faster, we're tired."
"Damn! You scared me to death when you stepped on the horse."
"Hahaha! I laughed so hard. Teacher Zhu, you were so scared that you pissed yourself. If you can't, I have to take a photo. If you don't treat me to two barbecues, I will show this photo to the students in your class. "
"The thief actually threatened me, so what, can you just give me a meal?"
"make a deal……"
Everyone also lowered their guard and joked with each other, seeming to be celebrating after the shock.
My uncle and I were both very embarrassed, and we both laughed awkwardly and sat aside.
I sat down and figured it out.
If the old lady in gray is a thousand-year-old bear demon, will people be afraid even if I leave here?
The power of the thousand-year-old demon is terrifying.
For example, the wolf demon has only two hundred years of experience at most. In front of the thousand-year-old giant demon, he is just a little Karami who can be killed with just a slap.
And I am the one who can be slapped to death by the wolf demon...
Lin Xueling came to me and asked in a low voice: "Tianyi, what did you go out to do just now?"
"Nothing, just going out to have a smoke."
I smiled and did not tell Lin Xueling what my uncle told me.
The old lady in gray clothes was definitely not alive, but as for whether she was a big demon or not, it was not clear whether she bit the person on the trough to death.
Even if it was the old lady in gray who killed her, there's nothing I can do!
The thousand-year-old bear demon, even if I hold a sword and attack people secretly, it will be useless.
In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon, and the rescue team still hadn't come, which made everyone in the house very upset.
I'm a little worried. I and Lin Xueling are already under a curse. If we delay for a second, we will be in more danger.
There is no signal now and there is no way to contact Coffin Yang.
Lin Xueling and I walked together on the Gobi Desert. The weather outside was a bit cool, but Naihe was agitated. Let's take a walk outside as a way to relax!
"Tianyi, look over there, it seems like there are people living there!"
While walking, Lin Xueling suddenly pointed in a direction.
I also looked in the direction of her finger and saw a vague village about a mile away.
This makes me very happy. If there is a house, there must be people there!
"Go over and take a look."
I was very excited and accelerated my pace with Lin Xueling.
After a while, I arrived in front of the house, but when I arrived, I felt extremely disappointed.
There are indeed houses here, quite a few, but they are all in ruins, the houses have collapsed, and there are many withered and yellow weeds growing on the roadside of the desolate village.
It has obviously been abandoned for a long time.
"Could this village be the one my uncle mentioned that the bears were moving from?"
I looked at the ruins in front of me, and suddenly the uncle's story came to mind.
