Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Chapter 158 Meeting Huang Daxian

At this time, I didn't care about looking for him, so I turned on the light with my mobile phone, walked out the door, and went to the simple toilet in the back mountain.Maybe because the Taoist temple looks holy, the toilets are deliberately set far away. I really don't understand. Do the masters in the temple have good stomachs?And none of them have trouble getting up at night?

The mountain wind at night was so strong that it made the shadows of the trees on both sides of the path faint and rustling.I didn't feel scared, I just wanted to go to the destination quickly to solve the problem, and I cursed in my heart that it was the bottom of the spicy pot.Not only did it hurt my stomach, but it also made me uncomfortable now.

I won’t go into details about the original latrine. Anyway, no matter how people in Taoist temples stay away from it, it is an inevitable part for ordinary people. No matter how smelly it is, it is very practical at critical times.

After solving my personal problems, I returned the same way, feeling much more relaxed physically and mentally.Tonight, the moonlight is hazy, but the stars in the sky are very dazzling. I have no sleepiness at all, and my interest in viewing the scenery is revived. I am going to walk to the cool hall in front of the temple to see the stars.By the way, where did my "iron buddy" go?

Just after walking a few steps, two low-pitched calls suddenly came from the grass beside the road, which sounded like cat meowing, only more low-pitched and shrill.Although the Taoist Temple is not far away, walking alone on the mountain road in the middle of the night, hearing this sound still makes me tremble all over, and goose bumps popped out.

Now the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, especially when I don't know the enemy's situation.Apart from my mobile phone, I didn't even have a self-defense guy, so I had to speed up my pace and stay away from the place of right and wrong.

But as my pace quickened, the movement in the grass became louder and louder. Obviously, the things inside didn't want to just treat me as a passer-by in the middle of the night, but wanted to provoke me.That being the case, I also found a thick pine branch as a self-defense tool.

Just as I was about to bend down, a black shadow flew past me quickly. If I hadn't stepped back in time to stop my hand, I would have caught it right away.The thing was fluffy, and its fluffy hair swept across my hand, and before I could see what it was, it sank into the grass again.

I didn't dare to hesitate, I picked up the branches at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time turned passive into active, and swept directly towards the grass.This move actually forced a few little things to jump out.I put the light on my hand, and I saw that they were slightly bigger than domestic cats, with yellow hair all over their bodies, and their two eyeballs shone with a penetrating light under the light.

"It's a weasel." I finally saw what they looked like.Weasel, commonly known as weasel, also known as "Huang Daxian" among the people, is nocturnal and usually haunts caves and graves.I don’t know why you can also meet around Taoist temples?What's more, I can't figure out that the yellow skins are very timid, and they usually don't take the initiative to attack people. Why do they keep pestering me tonight?And look at this battle, it seems that they are coming out in full force.

This thing is extremely evil, and it is very deceptive.I complained secretly in my heart, mainly because I didn't have a good self-defense device in my hand, a branch, they didn't seem to be afraid at all.

"Hey, either go their own way, or come to a showdown, my sister is short of a fur scarf?" I yelled at them, trying to scare them off with my momentum, but they seemed to feel threatened, and they all rushed forward. He jumped at me first.

"Okay! This is the worst-case scenario. If it goes well, this year's scarf will be available." I have fully learned the essence of Fat Brother's super-optimism in the face of adversity.

The first Huang Daxian that jumped up was swept aside by me.Then there was the second one, and it opened its mouth and bit my tree pole. Before I could shake it off, the third one had already jumped to my feet, and I quickly kicked it up to push it away.

Then a few more came, and I took a few steps back, retreated to a tree, and fought with them.There were as many as seven "Huang Da Xian" in this litter. They didn't know what stimulated them, and they were extremely ferocious, and they kept baring their teeth at me.Fortunately, although there are many of them, they are not big in size, and my movements are very flexible, and there are trees to lean on.They can't do anything to me for a while.

However, the protracted battle exhausted my physical strength after all. I was annoyed by being entangled, so I killed my hands, and I no longer reserved my strength, making those yellow skins howl non-stop.Just when I thought the situation was reversed, a yellow-skinned child sneaked up the tree from behind at some point, and jumped on me directly from the branch.

Because the distance was very close and the light was weak, it was too late to escape.It opened its mouth to bite me, and I quickly grabbed its fur, tore it off and threw it far away. Fortunately, it only bit the clothes, but it also scratched a bloody gash on my hand.

I gasped in pain, raised my pole to chase, and by the way, I also cleaned up the few around my legs.At this time, a gust of wind blew, mixed with a strong stench.My first reaction was that it might be the smell of the toilet.But after the wind passed, not only did the stench not dissipate, but it became stronger and stronger.

The smell was so intoxicating that I couldn't bear it, and even my head felt dizzy, I staggered and almost fell to the ground.Only then did they realize that something was wrong, seeing those yellow-skinned people stopped attacking, retreated a few meters away, where the light was out of reach, and prepared to wait for an opportunity to ambush.

"Huangpizi has odor glands in his body. When he is threatened, it will emit odor, which can paralyze the enemy." I covered my nose and retreated under the tree, thinking: "I have probably been tricked, just treat me The moment I fall, how will these things carve up my flesh and blood?"

My eyes were dim, and I felt that the tree body I was leaning on suddenly became soft, and there were many soft hairs covering my arms, which were slippery and itchy.I stretched out my hand to grab it, but unexpectedly tore off a handful, all of which were oily and black.The tree didn't know when it turned into a woman wrapped in a white coat.

No, it's a female ghost, with a pale face, showing a mouthful of sharp teeth, looking down at me coldly and shouting: "Give me back my hair, give me back my hair..."

"Ah..." I screamed and fell to the ground.

At this moment, I can't use any strength in my limbs, and I just watched the female ghost's claws stick out, tightening my neck tighter and tighter.But I didn't even have the strength to thump and resist, I couldn't scream, and my mind went blank, so I had to accept my fate and wait for death.

At this time, there were several barks of dogs in the distance. Although the sound was intermittent, it became clearer and clearer.Then the power stuck in my neck disappeared out of thin air.A burst of hurried footsteps stopped beside me, lifted me up and patted my face.

I was in a trance as if I had a nightmare, and now I was finally woken up, my eyes were finally focused, and I saw a dark and wrinkled face.

Heh, I subconsciously pushed him away in shock.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm the head of the Taoist temple, and I'm fine." He moved the light over so that I could see his face clearly.

Shocked, I moved closer, and after confirming, I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him.

"Benefactor, why do you come to the back mountain alone in the middle of the night? Even if you want to relieve yourself, you should find someone to accompany you?" The Taoist priest's question hit my sore spot. Can you care about my life?

I was a little lost and sat on the ground without speaking.The old Taoist priest usually looks like a shrewd thief, and he runs the Taoist temple like a commercial hotel, but he still has a good way of observing words and demeanor.

Seeing that I was silent, he probably thought it was a quarrel between lovers, so he didn't ask any more questions.I took a closer look, those yellow-skinned people all ran away at some point, and the female ghost also disappeared. What's going on?

"Daoist, did you see a long-haired female ghost in white clothes strangling my neck when you came?" I asked the Taoist.

"No! When I arrived, I saw you here alone, with your hands on your neck. When I smell the smell of the Huang Daxian, I know that you probably inhaled too much of their stench and lost your mind."

"The Great Immortal is really powerful." I sighed from the bottom of my heart.

"Let's go back first, I see you have wounds on your hands, have you been bitten?" the old Taoist asked with concern.

Frankly speaking, I have always suspected that he is a fake Taoist priest, who only wants to make money blindly on weekdays, pretending to practice a few tricks, but in fact he has no real skills at all.But at the critical moment, he was quite humane, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, I got caught."

"Then let's go back to the temple first!" He pulled me up from the ground.

My legs were trembling badly, and my strength hadn't recovered yet. Just as I was about to climb onto his elbow, another figure flashed out in the darkness, blocking my hand, and then I was hugged by the sky .My best friend finally appeared, and as soon as he appeared, he acted so ambiguously in front of outsiders.

"Hey, put me down quickly, I can walk by myself." I was very embarrassed, but I had no strength to break free, so I had to bury my face in his arms, flushed with embarrassment.

The head of the road scratched his hair like a chicken coop, and said awkwardly: "This...that's fine." Then he consciously walked in front with the light on, guiding us.

"Why did you go?" I couldn't help asking Brother Ling.

"..." He remained silent, just continuing to move forward.

I was a little discouraged, pressed against his heaving chest, and began to tell the whole story of tonight: "When I was in Beijing, I had a bad stomach. I had to come here alone, and met a few weasels, who were stimulated by some kind of stimulus, and kept pestering me, and finally I was poisoned by them, and I had hallucinations, and almost strangled myself.”

After I finished rambling, we almost returned to the Taoist temple.The Taoist priest signaled us to wait in the main hall, and he wanted to find some medicine to detoxify me.Brother Qiling put me on the futon, then turned around and held my hand, inspecting the wound on it.

I shrank my hands back, making a silent resistance with emotion.He looked up at me, sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry, I see you slept well, and I can't bear to wake you up."

"Then why did you go?" I asked curiously.
