Keeping vigil is actually a very painful thing. It is very quiet all around and my eyes are very sore. Every time I can't stand it anymore, I pour mineral water on my face to make myself a little more awake. But even so, it is still very painful.
Listening to Chen Lei snoring beside me, damn, he is simply tempting me to commit a crime. Ahem, don't think in a wrong way, I'm not into that. But just looking at him sleeping soundly, I feel sleepy.
Damn, I was so sleepy, I stood up immediately, I felt like I would fall asleep if I sat on the ground any longer, so I jumped up decisively and walked around in the dilapidated temple. After walking for a while, I felt like I had to find something to attract my attention, so I looked around and saw the stone statue of the monkey. I thought I was bored anyway, so I started observing it.
This stone statue should be very old, at least two or three hundred years old. It can be considered a good antique. It would be worth a lot of money if sold. Just when I was studying it happily, I suddenly heard slow footsteps outside the door, as if they were walking towards our house.
I was shocked. It was impossible for anyone to come to this dilapidated temple at this time. Thinking of the face I saw on the mountain road before, I immediately opened my eyes with cow's tears and immediately woke up Chen Lei who was sleeping soundly.
Chen Lei got up in a daze and asked, "Comrade police, what's wrong?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, there's something going on outside, listen carefully." I whispered in Chen Lei's ear. Sure enough, when Chen Lei listened carefully, he also heard footsteps. Although he was honest, he was not stupid, and his face immediately turned pale with fright.
"Comrade police, who is that person outside?" Although Chen Lei already had an idea in his mind, he still asked me out of habit.
I shook my head and didn't answer him. At this time, I winked at Chen Lei and asked him to hide beside the stone statue of the evil monkey, while I directly took out the 'Talisman to Suppress Evil Spirits'. As for why everyone might be wondering why I didn't take the 'Five Thunders Strike Back Talisman', the main reason is that I don't know what kind of ghost the other party is. What if it is a very weak one, and I still use the 'Five Thunders Strike Back Talisman' to fight it, wouldn't that be like using a butcher knife to kill a fly
With the 'Talisman to Suppress Evil Spirits' in hand, I felt more confident and rushed out of the house directly. The main reason was that I knew that it is the first to strike that is stronger, and the last to strike will suffer.
After leaving the ruined temple, it was dark all around. Only then did I remember that the flashlight was in the backpack inside. However, it was not appropriate to go back to get it now. Besides, after the cow's tears opened my eyes, my eyes were still quite clear at night.
After I went out the door, I slowly walked to the left of the door. After a few steps, there was a corner. I felt the footsteps coming from the left corner. I gritted my teeth and said, "Hurry up and follow the order." Then I rushed out.
At first glance, it turned out to be a monkey with three eyes and two horns on its head. I took a closer look and realized that it was the same monkey as the stone statue inside, a charming monkey.
There are actually many stories about the charming monkey, such as one my master once told me.
During the Republic of China period, there was an old farmer in a rural area who had two sons, both in their twenties. One day, the second son suddenly came back and took the meat from home and went out. The old farmer and the eldest son did not pay much attention to it, but for many days afterwards, the second son continued to take some meat out. What's even more outrageous is that the second son actually took back a lot of money.
The old farmer was an honest man, and he immediately asked his second son where the money came from. However, the second son refused to tell him, and the old farmer could do nothing about it. A few days later, the second son took some meat out again, but he never came back after that day. The old farmer and others searched for him for a long time but couldn't find him.
The old farmer sensed something was wrong and immediately found a gentleman from the next village. After listening to the old farmer's description, the gentleman did not say much. He took a can of lard and gathered many villagers. They all took weapons and rushed up the mountain.
The gentleman told them that the Taoist priest was probably a monster in disguise, and when he came out, they would just beat him to death.
Then the gentleman found a place, put the lard can on the ground, and everyone hid behind a boulder. Sure enough, not long after, an old Taoist in blue clothes came, breathing hard and walking carefully towards the lard.
The old Taoist's forehead and mouth were slightly protruding, and his face looked like a monkey's. What was even more frightening was that this old Taoist actually had three eyes, one on his forehead, and two black horns on his temples.
When the gentleman saw this, he immediately ordered the villagers to rush out and beat the Taoist priest to death. When the Taoist priest saw so many people suddenly appear in front of him, he immediately begged for mercy, but the people did not tolerate him at all and beat him to death directly.
Its true form was revealed after death. It turned out to be a charming monkey. The villagers followed the direction the Taoist priest came from and found a corpse in a cave. From the clothes, it turned out to be the missing second son of the old farmer.
I looked at the monkey in front of me, it was obviously a charm monkey. I didn't expect that I could meet such a monster from so long ago. At this moment, the charm monkey also smiled at me foolishly, then rushed up, and scratched my face with its claws. Of course I couldn't let it succeed, I make a living by my face.
I immediately dodged to the side and placed the 'Talisman to Suppress Evil Spirits' in my hand directly on its forehead. Suddenly, a burst of black smoke came out of its forehead.
It also started to chirp. At this moment, I thought about the story my master told me. The charm monkey could be beaten to death by humans. It was not that strong.
Thinking of this, I felt more confident. I rushed forward and kicked it again, but the monkey dodged it and rushed forward to grab my chest. Immediately, three large cuts about five centimeters long and one centimeter deep appeared on my chest.
I slapped it in the face with my backhand, sending it flying far away. It saw that I was not easy to mess with, so it turned around and ran away. I wanted to chase it, but then I saw that there were three big cuts on my chest, so I gave up and went back to the house, and saw Chen Lei still hiding next to the stone statue.
"Comrade police, what's going on outside?" Chen Lei looked at me and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay, it's just a monkey in the mountains." I said casually, not mentioning the magic monkey mainly because I was afraid of scaring him.
When he heard it was a monkey, he felt relieved and said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. But suddenly, a charming monkey jumped out from the stone statue on his head and grabbed Chen Lei with its claws.
"Fuck, be careful behind you." I watched the monkey stretch out its sharp claws and pounce towards Chen Lei.
I originally thought that Chen Lei would definitely get hurt, but what happened later was very different from what I imagined. Chen Lei actually kicked the monkey away with one swift kick. I was stunned.
After the monkey was kicked away, it immediately ran out of the house.
"Brother, you are so powerful." Looking at Chen Lei's skills, it was obvious that he was a martial artist.
"Haha, I used to learn some Kung Fu from my grandfather, but I never found any use for it." When Chen Lei saw me say this, he felt a little embarrassed.
