They bypassed many emperor shrines, walked into the doorway on the right, and walked up the stairs to the second floor of the palace.
The structure of the second floor is similar to that of an attic. You can see that the beams supporting the roof appear in front of you. The height is not particularly high. Some slightly taller people can reach out and touch the pillars of the temple.
At this moment, the place has been filled with debris. Along the wall, you can see that the columns and boards divide independent rooms. Most of Gui Fangzong and his following craftsmen live temporarily in such independent rooms. The wall facing the yard opens. Twelve carved doors and windows appear, and when the carved doors and windows are pushed open, one can walk to the narrow corridor on the front of the second floor of the temple.
Guifangzong explained: "This palace uses a double-eaves verandah roof. According to regulations, it has two layers of eaves. Our location is on the second eaves. If it is a formal building in the palace, this is also acceptable. Originally, the palace in Shennongjia was a sacrificial palace. Only the adjacent floor was renovated, and the second floor was simply built into an attic to store sacrificial sundries."
"There are still many empty rooms here, all left by the previous craftsmen. You can just choose a room to rest at night."
While talking, Yue Guanchao and Song Siyuan continued to observe along the room. In addition to the rooms where craftsmen already lived, there were still a few rooms near the corridor that were vacant. They could just fit in there.
By the time the room was tidied up, night had fallen!
The pillars of this palace are wooden buildings, and no open flames are allowed. When they went down to the courtyard, Gui Fangzong and the others had already fired up the copper stove. The iron pot above was bubbling and cooking something, and the rich aroma of fat and meat was emitting. , sweet potatoes and potatoes are roasting on the iron rack next to the pot, with hot bubbles popping out from time to time.
"There is nothing to eat on the mountain. They are all freshly hunted hares, wild boars, etc. If you have nothing to eat, you can deal with them a little bit."
Guifang Zong said this, Yue Guanchao and the others had to be more cautious. What they feared most when going out was eating indiscriminately. It would be okay if they had a bad stomach, but it would be bad if they were given some sweat medicine.
"Senior Onikata, we also brought zero dry food. We won't drink this broth. We can just use your place to heat up something."
Yue Guanchao and the others sat around, took out the prepared dry biscuits and meat strips and put them on iron skewers, then baked them over the charcoal fire near the copper stove. The aroma of grain and meat immediately came out, and they breathed hot.
While everyone was eating, Song Siyuan looked at Guifang Zong: "Senior Guifang, since you have been to Shennongjia before, have you ever walked in the mountains?"
Now, if they want to get to the position of Qian Gua, they have to experience many strange situations in the mountains. Compared to Guifang Sect, they are too unfamiliar with Shennongjia. If they can know the weirdness in advance, they can of course take precautions in advance.
Gui Fangzong put down his bowl and chopsticks and nodded to Zhongru: "Over the years, I have also led craftsmen deep into Shennongjia. However, just like yours, I could only reach Shennong Peak at most. Once I left Shennong Peak, I had no direction at all. Rats can only run around and go wherever they go."
"I have heard from the old people around me that these ten monsters are indeed real... Ever since the Guifang people came, the ten monsters of Shennongjia have been circulated for thousands of years. If they were not real monsters, it would probably not be possible for the people around them to be surprised. Word of mouth spreads, and generations are horrified.”
Since Tan Yanqiu had already mentioned to them the three major monsters in the ghost market: the enchanting mirages, the strange livestock walking around, and the ghost chattering in the Zhulin Forest, Ghost Fangzong introduced the remaining seven monsters to them.
There is no trace of the lost trail in the advanced mountain.
In the shallow mountain area before Shennong Peak, an old craftsman used a stone watch to mark the road, which can be regarded as pointing out a clear path for villagers entering the mountain. From then on, hunters entering the shallow mountain will basically not get lost again.
Putting this aside for now, the lost here refers to the deep mountains behind Shennong Peak!
Farmers near Shennongjia have a joking saying: If a hunter enters shallow mountains and comes back, he is not considered capable, but if he can return after entering deep mountains, then he is capable. This is enough to show the terror of deep mountains.
This kind of horror is not about encountering some evil ghost or mountain spirit, but it makes you feel as if you are in another world. Even if the sun is shining brightly, you can still feel the cold and creepy smell. Every disturbance can affect people's hearts and make their hearts skip a beat. Afraid of something weird coming at the moment.
During this period, people can’t help but start to get lost!
Being lost in the deep mountains of Shennongjia is completely different from the outside world!
The vegetation in the virgin forest is dense, and it is common for hunters to get lost. As long as they find the right direction and get a compass, they can get out of the forest. Even if they can't get out, they just wander around in the forest. As long as they circle around more times, they will always be able to get out of the forest. Can find something strange.
Once pedestrians in Shennongjia get lost, no matter how they move around, they will no longer be able to see all the mountains and forests they have walked through before. Even if they mark them, it is useless. Although these marks can still find traces of walking, they all point in the wrong direction. According to Walking along the marked route will only make the situation worse. Eventually, people will get lost and completely wander into some mountainous areas and lose their traces. From then on, it will be difficult to appear in this world again. It will be like going to a different world and being left there.
Because of this, the rumor of a ghost mansion in Shennongjia spread like wildfire. How could a place that swallowed up the souls of living people and saw neither living nor dead people be an ordinary world? The popularity of ghosts is also reasonable. Zheng
Encounter savages in wild ridges and deep gorges.
The savages in the mountains of Shennongjia are likely to appear no matter where they are, as long as they are in the mountains.
Rumor has it that these savages are taller than ordinary people, and their hands and feet are sharper than ordinary people. They are covered with brown and black hair. They like to eat people. Whenever they encounter people, they will follow them quietly. When pedestrians are unprepared, they will pick up sticks or stones from behind. A sneak attack, knocking people unconscious and dragging them back to the cave, or killing them for fun, or simply using them as food and slaughtering them to death.
Such savages are covered with long and fluffy hair. Unfamiliar hunters can easily mistake them for black bears. Only capable and experienced old hunters can tell that they are savages through the sticks and stones in their hands. .
To deal with these savages, it is almost impossible to use brute force. They are taller than humans, and they can run and hunt faster in the mountains and forests. Plus, with the strength gained from hunting, if a person goes head-to-head with such savages, , almost a dead end.
However, animals always have a life gate, and this wild life gate is their brain.
Such a savage is rumored to be a hybrid of a human and an ape. Although he is tall and big, his IQ is indeed not high. Even an old savage has an IQ of only seven or eight years old. There is a saying that if the limbs are strong and the mind is simple, their temperament Of course, it is closer to the children.
What the savages fear most is that someone is staring at them, so they have to follow the person behind and attack. As long as you can react and stare at him face to face, the savages will immediately put away their ferocious nature and take a few steps back in fear. If the hunter is If Rao's eyes were a bit harsher, it wouldn't be a bad idea to scare these savages.
Inexperienced pedestrians, when they realize something is following them, often realize that something is wrong and immediately run forward. At this time, the savage will pick up the weapon and hit it with one hit. Once he is hit by the savage, there will be no return. room.
As long as an experienced hunter realizes that something is following him, he first does not run or stop, but takes out the thing on his body and throws it back violently. When the savage finds that the person he is following throws something behind him, he instinctively uses a weapon. Go block.
At this moment, the savage was already distracted. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the old hunter immediately turned around and stared into the eyes of the savage. This alone made the savage take a few steps back in fright.
As long as they are face to face with the savages, the old hunter does not need to rush away. Instead, he takes out the bow and arrow from his back and continues to stare at the savages with murderous eyes. After being locked by the hunter's eyes, they will become panicked and at a loss until they pull. He nocked an arrow from his bow and shot it in the brain, and the savage was killed.
Of course, the young hunter is not accurate and may not be able to kill with one hit. As long as he does not hit the brain, the savage will only have a superficial wound. In this case, the savage will be angered and must follow the hunter. He refused to give up until he was exhausted from following the hunter.
If he wasn't an experienced hunter, it would be better to keep an eye on the savage, lest the savage become angry and seek revenge, and the gain outweighs the loss.
After finishing the savages, the sun and the moon will wax and wane again.
The streams in Shennongjia often have signs of rising and falling with the rising and setting of the sun. The streams are deep and shallow, which is normal. The strangest thing is not these streams, but a giant lake located in a deep mountain canyon.
This lake lies completely across a deep mountain canyon. On both sides of the canyon are steep mountain peaks standing thousands of feet tall, and at the bottom of the canyon is a rushing lake.
If it encounters white water, the lakes and streams will only reach around the legs at most. After sunset, you can feel that the lakes have become deeper and deeper to the naked eye, and may even directly overflow the trees on both sides, forming an extremely wide and giant river surface, which will kill any living people who have no time to escape. , all submerged underwater.
Old people, there are monsters living in this lake. All the water is attracted from the ground after the monsters appear at night, with the purpose of swallowing up the living people who come and go.
A hunter with good intentions was once very curious about the rise and fall of lakes. He also visited Bai Lake. The lake was only thigh-deep and could not even drown anyone. The water was so clear that you could even see the fish and shrimp at the bottom of the lake. There was nothing at all. Undercurrent Cave.
However, at night, when the hunter stood at a high place and looked again, he could see that the water level in the lake rose rapidly. Without the tributaries flowing in, the lake water actually rose to tens of meters deep, and even the surrounding shrubs were submerged. A big part of it.
This is a ghost. It is a lake with no tributaries flowing into it, and there are no secret passages under the water. Could it be that the water in the lake really came out of nothing, and was conjured out of thin air by some kind of spirit?
This mystery, no one knows yet, what is going on!
