After hearing Ye Ming's words about making preparations, Wang Rusheng was full of expectations, thinking that this person who knew magic would definitely be able to come up with something very powerful.
After waiting for a long time, I discovered that this person just randomly pulled off an ordinary ivy on the roadside and wove it twice randomly to form a net.
Well, a wooden handle was specially made for this net, which looks like the one used to net butterflies.
Then he handed the net to Wu Hou and heard Ye Ming laugh and say:
"Let's go, find a place to take shelter from the rain."
"Master Shanyuan, is this the preparation you are talking about?"
Wang Rusheng looked at Ye Ming feeling very foolish.
Ye Ming just smiled and said: "Next, you should please the monkey. If it fails to catch the ginseng essence, then there is nothing I can do."
These words made Wang Rusheng's heart skip a beat and he quickly looked at Wu Hou.
Wu Hou blinked in confusion, swung the net in his hand, and used it as a stick to beat around in the forest.
Wang Rusheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, fearing that he would hit him randomly and break the net.
If he hadn't been really weak, he would have thought of catching the ginseng essence himself.
After all, it is hard to have confidence in placing your hopes on a monkey.
Ye Ming was in front, leading a few people to find a relatively spacious cave in the mountain, and said with a smile:
"This is a nice place. I'll take shelter from the rain tonight."
There is a backpack hanging on the white horse, which contains dry food, clothing, etc.
The clothes on Mr. Wu and Wang Rusheng were scratched a lot, and they could just change them now.
After simply eating some dry food, everyone went to rest.
Wang Rusheng was the weakest. He covered himself with tattered clothes and fell asleep after a while.
Mr. Wu looked at the increasingly gloomy sky outside, thinking.
Ye Ming suddenly squeezed to his side and asked:
"Sir, have you got any new inspiration from your recent collection?"
"I have a few, but it feels like there are so many threads. If I were to write, I could write some scattered stories.
However, now I suddenly have the idea of writing a long storybook, but I don’t know where to start. "
Mr. Wu said with some distress.
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Since this trip to collect scenery is effective, let's go for more walks."
Mr. Wu nodded: "It is true that we should walk more, and the 'Holy Fire Fox Cult' matter is not over yet, and I don't want to go back now."
"So, sir, you are planning to eliminate harm for the people and eliminate this evil cult?"
"Master Shanyuan, don't make fun of me. I'm just a rotten scholar who knows how to write a few words. How can I have such ability? At most, I'm just a witness."
The two chatted for a while, but it started to rain heavily outside.
Seeing this, Mr. Wu also expressed that he wanted to take a rest.
Ye Ming also looked sleepy.
After Wu Hou and Shu Shaojun played outside for a while, they had to come in because of the heavy rain.
It didn't matter to Shu Shaojun, and he wouldn't get caught in the rain. The main thing was Wu Monkey, whose withered monkey hair was all wet.
He took out the priceless cassock from the package and had the ability to subdue demons and suppress ghosts, and used it to wipe the monkey hair on his body.
After wiping it, Wu Hou felt much drier, and found that the cassock did not touch the water. He scratched his head, covered himself with the cassock as a quilt, huddled up and fell asleep in the corner of the cave.
Seeing that everyone was sleeping, Shu Shaojun felt a little bored. He took the fish in his hand and ran to play in the distance alone.
In the mountains at night, there was only the sound of rain and no other movement.
In such a dark night, a large black shadow suddenly appeared. The black shadow had a pair of bright eyes and was looking into the cave.
To be precise, those eyes were staring at the only shining thing in the cave.
It was none other than the cassock covering Wu Hou.
The huge black shadow slowly entered from the entrance of the cave somewhat furtively, making no movement at all, and gradually moved towards Wu Monkey.
Wu Hou, who had been playing around all day, slept soundly, wrapped in his cassock, and did not notice the approach of the big guy.
The big guy walked step by step and finally approached the cassock.
Tip-toeingly, he stretched out two fingers, used the tips of his fingers to gently pinch a corner of the cassock, and slowly pulled it away.
For fear of waking up Wu Monkey, his movements were very light.
If the person who had the thing stolen was an individual, I guess this would have been a success.
But Monkey Wu is a monkey, and unlike humans, he likes to tangle his tail with his cassock when sleeping.
The big guy didn't notice this and pulled it to the back. When he saw that it couldn't be pulled, he used a little more strength.
It was this little strength that woke Wu Hou up.
Immediately there was a loud roar of monkeys in the cave.
Seeing that he was exposed, the big guy grabbed the cassock with his claws and pulled hard.
Wu Hou also subconsciously stretched out his hand to tug at the cassock.
It's just a monkey, so it has no strength to fight against the big guy. It was pulled violently, even itself.
It's just that Wu Hou accepted death and believed that the cassock was his own, so he refused to let go.
The big guy was also a little panicked. Seeing Wu Hou not letting go, he just took Wu Hou and wanted to run away.
At this time, Mr. Wu had been awakened and lit the fire stick in his hand to illuminate the cave.
At a glance, the big guy holding the cassock in his hand is a blind bear!
Generally speaking, blind bears have poor night vision, otherwise they wouldn't be called "blind bears."
But this blind bear is obviously different. His eyes are as big as copper bells and are very bright.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that at this time, Mr. Wu was looking at the blind bear.
As a person, when he suddenly saw this tall blind bear, Mr. Wu was so frightened that he stepped back and sat down on the ground.
As a bear, this guy does not look like a bear at all. In other words, it is really a "bear". When it sees people, it has no intention of intimidating or attacking them. Instead, it carries the cassock and Wu monkey. He ran out of the cave, obviously trying to escape.
Mr. Wu thought the bear was about to run away, but suddenly he found that the bear was running in circles for no apparent reason.
Running around, still spinning in circles.
But the bear seemed unaware and kept running.
After running wildly for a while, Blind Xiong had a proud look on his face. He first looked at the cassock in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
I just want to get Wu Hou down again.
Just as he glanced around with the corner of his eye, Blind Bear's expression changed drastically and he started running wildly again.
In Mr. Wu's opinion, this guy is just running in circles.
Seeing this guy behaving so strangely, Mr. Wu couldn't help but look at Ye Ming.
I found that this person had sat up at some point and showed his signature smile.
Needless to say, Mr. Wu knew that it must be Ye Ming who took action.
Blind Bear ran around in the cave, and after a long time, he stopped again.
Looking around, he found that he was still in the cave. When the night light seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the blind man immediately became "bear".
With a "plop", he knelt down on the ground, holding the cassock in both hands, and raised it above his head together with Wu Hou.
This set of movements is very smooth, without a trace of jerkiness.
Wu Hou didn't care about that. He turned over, took the cassock back, crumpled it into a ball and held it in his arms. He looked warily at the blind man who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
The commotion that had been going on for a long time finally woke up Wang Rusheng, who was sleeping deeply. He looked at the kneeling blind man Xiong, and he was also surprised.
Mr. Wu walked to Ye Ming and asked:
"Master Shan Yuan, has this black bear become a spirit?"
"Not yet. It's still a little off, but my intelligence is not low."
Ye Ming said, suddenly pointing at Xiong Xiazi.
Then, the black bear spirit was suddenly seen clutching its throat in pain and rolling on the ground in pain.
When Mr. Wu saw this, he thought Ye Ming was using some magic to punish the black bear for stealing.
But unexpectedly, after the black bear clutched his throat and rolled in pain on the ground for several times, he suddenly stopped, turned over, and knelt down in front of Ye Ming again, and he could actually utter human words:
"Small... I've seen you, sir."
Listening to the black bear's obviously labored words, Mr. Wu looked at Ye Ming, seemingly confused.
Ye Ming smiled and said: "If any beast or monster wants to speak human words, it must first refine a horizontal bone in its throat.
This black bear lives in this mountain and knows a lot about this place. Through it, we can know a lot of things. "
"I see."
Mr. Wu looked surprised.
Ye Ming looked at the black bear and said:
"Looking at how big and powerful you are, you want the cassock. Why don't you just grab it instead of stealing it?"
The black bear spirit stammered and explained the reason.
To put it simply, this guy turned out not to be a wild bear. He grew up in a temple and hung out with the monks every day. Over time, he gained some spirituality from the temple.
But then the color of the world changed, and countless ghosts and ghosts fell from the sky. The monks in the temple all went to fight with the ghosts, but no one came back alive.
As a result, it became a wandering wild bear.
In the past few years, I have never killed any animals wantonly except for necessary meals.
This time I stole the cassock mainly because I missed the people I saw and missed the monks of the past.
After listening to what Black Bear said, Mr. Wu and Wang Rusheng were both puzzled and admired.
The monks in that temple were indeed truly virtuous monks.
Ye Ming, on the other hand, seemed completely indifferent to this and just asked the black bear spirit how much he knew about this place.
The black bear spirit said that he has the ability to hunt for treasures and can find the treasures in the mountains.
It uses this ability to find where the cassock is.
There is indeed a ginseng essence in the mountain, and it also tried to catch it, but failed.
In fact, not only him, but also the tiger demon often tried to catch it when it was entrenched here, but all ended in failure.
When Wang Rusheng heard this, he was happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that the black bear could help catch the ginseng spirit, but he was worried that the ginseng spirit was more difficult to catch than he expected.
The black bear was kept useful, so no one drove it away and let it stay in the cave for the night.
The black bear would get close to Wu Hou from time to time. The main purpose was to get the crumpled cassock in Wu Hou's hand.
Regarding the behavior of the black bear, Wu Hou remained extremely vigilant, hugging the cassock tightly and not giving the other side a chance.
Seeing this, Black Bear felt helpless, but he still shamelessly stayed close to Wu Hou.
In this way, the night passed, but the rain outside still didn't stop, and the sky didn't clear up until noon.
There are few roads in the mountains and it becomes even more difficult to travel after the rain.
Fortunately, everyone has a "pioneer" who can go ahead and help clear the way.
The black bear walked in front, all the way to the top of the mountain.
It just didn't make it to the top of the mountain.
According to Black Bear, the ginseng spirit himself also knew that others might come to catch him while he was practicing, so he would patrol around the top of the mountain an hour in advance every time, and only after confirming that it was safe would he start to absorb the moonlight for practice.
A large part of the reason for the Black Bear's previous defeat was that the opponent might find out in advance.
After everyone reached the mountainside, they lurked temporarily.
Black Bear said that he could wait here until dark, when the ginseng spirit came out, and then take this opportunity to attack.
When Ye Ming heard this, he smiled and asked Wu Hou to get a lot of smelly "geraniums".
Let everyone sprinkle their juices on themselves.
Everyone was overwhelmed by the strong stench.
Wang Rusheng asked: "Master Shanyuan, what's the use of this?"
Ye Ming smiled and said: "The ginseng spirit is a spirit spirit of plants and trees. It likes fragrance the most and hates stench. If it is covered by this smell, it will not come close.
In this way, there is no risk of being discovered. "
While Wu Hou was painting himself, he glanced at Ye Ming.
Seeing that this person's body was still clean and not dirty at all, he stretched out his juice-filled hand to the corner of Ye Ming's clothes.
But before he even touched it, he got hit on the head.
"You monkey, you really deserve a beating, and I don't need this."
Wu Hou, who had been beaten, touched his head and felt a little aggrieved.
Ye Ming didn't care about it, he just stayed lazy as usual, found a tree, and just lay down next to the tree to rest.
Others are waiting here too...
