Although the ghost market is illusory and mysterious, the strange animals in Shennongjia are indeed real. In addition to the savages who often appear, there are also countless rare animals.
For example, duck-billed toad, white bear, white snake, immortal snake, red horse, red pig, red bat, red frog, white monkey, white deer, white magpie, red giant salamander, red snake, red fox, red golden monkey, white toad, White unicorn, white crow, white weasel... It can be said that any beast or livestock that is very common in the outside world must be completely different from the outside world after arriving in Shennongjia.
Let’s not mention albino animals for now, let’s just talk about some more peculiar animals.
Duck-billed toads. Once, a farmer felt thirsty when he went into the mountains. He found a pool of water under a nearby cliff. When he was about to stretch out his kettle to fetch water, three strange-looking toads suddenly emerged from the cold, ice-cold pool. beast.
The shape of these water beasts is similar to toads, but they are more than ten times larger than ordinary toads. They are like chickens and ducks the size of a human head. They are gray and white mottled in color. Web-like membranes can be seen on the front and rear limbs, and sharp claws protrude. The mouth should be that of a toad, but it has a duck's bill.
The mountain man was startled. When he called his companions to look, he saw these duck-billed toads disappearing into the deep pool.
If it is just a strange shape, it cannot be called weird. Some things with scale insect hairs can still continue to squirm even if they are cut into two pieces.
There are many kinds of animals in Shennongjia, and they are popular because of their snow-white color. Many hunters go into the mountains to hunt and sell the animal skins to traders, or sell the collected herbs to medicine dealers. In order to make as much money as possible, some traders, They will also hire some hunters to take them into the mountains to fish, hunt animals, and pick herbs. When walking in the herb jungle, they encounter many scale insects and moths, which are extremely strange.
For example, some moths look like dead leaves. Unless someone disturbs them and flies away, no one would know that they are moths. Or some insects look very similar to bamboo knots. It is not until someone picks them that they realize they are moths. Jumping living things.
The immortal snake is a similar scale insect.
These undead snakes vary in size, ranging from long snakes that are several meters long with thick wrists to small snakes that are half a meter long with fingers as thick as their fingers. They are dark red with black patterns all over their body. They look like a fiery red and black snake.
What's strange about them is not their color, but the fact that they can never be killed.
When the merchant was driving his car, he saw a long snake blocking his way. He wanted the hunter to kill the snake so that he could move on, but the hunter was still unwilling to do so.
After some conversation, the hunter bluntly said that such red-skinned and black-striped snakes cannot be killed. Even if they are cut off, they may not be killed. Instead, they will annoy these snakes. In the end, they suffered a disaster. The hunter advised the traders to choose another path.
The traders come to the mountains just to make money. If they choose another path, it will only consume more time. Along the way, people will eat horses and chew them, and they will throw away the wasted money, which makes the traders feel very distressed.
No matter how skilled he is, he is still afraid of the kitchen knife. Seeing that the hunter was unwilling to move, he did not believe that the snake was really unkillable. He immediately took out his machete and slashed at the snake until it was cut into seven pieces.
He originally thought he could dispose of the dead snakes at will, but unexpectedly, the snakes' bodies were still twisting even if they were broken. However, in his breath, he could see the broken bodies moving continuously, finally fitting the wounds, and turning back into complete snakes.
As the snake fled, it even vomited its whiskers at the vendor and quickly hid in the grass and disappeared.
Now that the trader saw that the snake he had chopped off was restored to its original state, he could not help but believe that the red-skinned and black-striped snake could not be killed.
Without further ado, let’s get down to business. Guoshanhuang is one of the animals in Shennongjia.
This Guoshanhuang is also called Guoshanhuang by the mountain people, which means the emperor who crosses the mountain. To be called such a person is basically more powerful than the tiger, the leader of all beasts.
The mountain tiger actually looks similar to a mountain tiger, but it has no stripes on its body, and its fur is mostly light yellow and snow white. It has two fangs protruding from its lips. It looks like a tiger but is extremely agile and fast. When it runs, it looks like a shadow like the wind, like a streak of wind. The yellow shadows flicker by, hence the name Guoshanhuang.
For such a beast to become the king of the jungle, there must be something powerful about it. With its agile and fast running speed, it can easily capture any beast. Sometimes, it even spares birds and fish, causing livestock and beasts to panic wherever it goes. Running away is extremely majestic.
Sun Daqiao and his group said that they had encountered Shanhuang, but they had never really interacted with it. After entering the Agriculture Shrine and Ji Temple, they took a few glances through the towering terrain. Indeed, a phantom of yellow wind could be seen on the surrounding peaks, hunting for prey. The beast was not only ferocious, but also made them sweat a lot. If they encountered this thing at the foot of the mountain, they would probably go to the west on the spot.
Sun Daqiao and others also heard from people in the village that although the mountain yellow is ferocious, it does not eat dead things like the black bear. If you encounter a tiger and try to fight head-on, you may die miserably. The only way to hide is to hold your breath and not breathe. past his minions.
After many hunters enter the mountains, when they encounter a mountain tiger, they will not bend their bows and arrows, but hold their breath and leave. Although the tiger is fast, its eyesight is indeed not very good. If you move slowly and hold your breath, you can completely escape the danger.
After talking about the weird living things, there are also some special dead things, which are still weird and strange, and people don’t know how to explain them.
The mountain canyon leading to Shennong Peak will pass through a very peculiar peak forest of stone pillars. These stone pillars have different shapes and density, just like the teeth of a comb filling the valley.
When people walk around, it is easy to hear strange sounds such as ghosts crying and wolves howling, pedestrians rushing on their way, women and children whispering, men practicing martial arts and hunting, and old people sighing.
I don't know where these sounds come from. I just know that they can be heard coming from all directions at night, like a lively ghost market. The noise is non-stop and will not completely disappear until the sunrise the next day.
Sun Daqiao and the others were on their way to Shennong Peak, and of course they had to pass through this place. When the noise came at night, it was like a hundred ghosts walking in the night, and it was so loud that people's scalps were about to split.
They also thought that it might be a prank by people on the road, but they searched every corner of the pillar forest and found no living creatures. Of course, they also found no ghosts or ghosts. It was as if the voice appeared out of thin air from the stone pillars. , very strange.
After daylight, they were also curious about the stone pillars. They used the shovels and gunpowder made from earthen bamboo tubes at hand to explode the stones, thinking that there would be some mystery in them. In the end, they only saw countless iron ore particles mixed in the stones. There are no sophisticated instruments and mechanisms, and there are no strange creatures underground.
Based on this point, Sun Daqiao also asked Mr. Mi. The old farmer said that the voices in the Stone Pillar Forest came from the souls of the people who built the Nong Shrine and Ji Temple. Many people died when the Nong Shrine and Ji Temple were repaired in the past dynasties, and the innocent souls of these people were left in the stone pillars. In the Forest of Steles, one can never be freed from it.
At night, these souls will appear and move among the stone pillars, as if they are still alive in this world, continuing to walk and communicate.
It was not like Sun Daqiao and the others had not searched the Stone Pillar Forest before. Indeed, they found nothing strange. He also asked the old farmer why he had not found any souls.
The old farmer only said that human eyes cannot see the soul, and can only hear the voices of these people. If you want to see the soul, you have to soak the stones in the pillar forest with cow tears and then apply it on your eyes. However, When people see souls, these souls may also feel that people are looking at them, and they may come to haunt them, but they will suffer bad luck.
The old farmer also said that when he was young, there was a family of hunters named Huang. He was naturally courageous and capable of hunting, and he wanted to take the lead in things that no one else dared to do.
That time, he actually soaked stones in cow's tears and wiped them on his eyes. To show his courage, he also took many friends with him to hide in the jungle far away from the Pillar Forest during the day.
After the sun went down, there was constant noise in the pillar forest. Huang Orion opened his eyes and looked carefully at the pillar forest through the bushes. As expected, he saw countless human figures walking around the pillars. When he was about to call his friends and friends to come and see him, he turned around. The moment he raised his head, he saw a faint green shadow approaching in front of him.
The illusory figure was only half a meter away from his face. Even the facial features on his face could be clearly seen. They were pale and air-conditioned.
This sight frightened Huang Orion and he fainted immediately. His friend reluctantly brought him back. When he opened his eyes again, the shadow seemed to be stuck in his eyes. He could not escape or disappear no matter what. Huang Orion was frightened. He had to find a lot of observers, until an old goddess gave him an amulet, and then he saw the green shadow gradually dissipating.
After this incident, his eyes were severely damaged, and his vision became dim and unclear, as if he was seeing through a layer of glass. The hunter's vision, which could see a hundred meters away, was completely lost in his own hands.
After that, Lao Huang said goodbye to hunting completely and planted his own medicinal materials peacefully. At least he could still see things nearby clearly and did not delay his farming work.
With Lao Huang's lesson learned, the people nearby also know that if you apply cow's tears, you will see the soul. No one dares to try to apply cow's tears. So far, no one has dared to do so.
Sun Daqiao mentioned his previous experience in Shennongjia, and even now he couldn't help but shudder: "These three monsters are only three-tenths of the ten monsters in Shennongjia. We have never experienced other things at all, such as ghost markets, Mountain Yellow and Ghost Whispering Forest are the weird mysteries we witnessed."
"It was also because of this that we panicked and chose no other route. We didn't want to rob any more noble tombs. We just wanted to get out of Shennongjia. After that, we had no choice but to hide in the temple for nearly ten days before we were completely rescued."
"Hey, now it seems that it is really evil!"
Everyone listened to Sun Daqiao's words. Even if they had not experienced these things, coupled with the old man's words, they felt like they were in the scene right in front of them. They listened for nearly an hour without knowing it.
"Song Qianjin, you can't explain this with science, can you?" Yue Guanchao teased.
"It is true that it can no longer be explained by science, but there must be a reason for these situations. Since Sun Daqiao introduced it, I can basically be sure that there is something here."
