Chapter 16 Phantom of the Mist Mountain
It was still dark, so Jiang Chao got up early, uncharacteristically.
Moreover, he had been wearing a tight-fitting suit with a blanket outside since he woke up, and today he began to look for what clothes to wear.
It seemed that he was going out for a trip, instead of just strolling around the door like before.
Unfortunately, there are no suitable clothes in the cabin.
He did have a broken space suit, but it was too weird and inconvenient to wear it out.
And if you meet someone, you might be mistaken for a monster.
And if he is swarmed by others, he will be stabbed to death with a dung fork, or he will be beaten to death by a hoe or a pole.
By then, his reputation as a "god" who descended from the sky will be passed down through the ages.
After thinking about it, Jiang Chao found a piece of white cloth, cut it a little and wrapped it around him.
It looks strange, but at least it's not as strange as before.
Wangshu: "Are you going out?"
Jiang Chao: "Yeah!"
Wangshu: "What are you doing out there?"
Jiang Chao: "I want to find a beautiful stone, or jade or precious stones, to make the outer shell."
In Jiang Chao's hands, there was a new radio that had been assembled, but without a casing.
Wang Shu: "I know where it is and the shortcut to get there."
Jiang Chao, who had always lowered his head, finally looked at the shadow on the screen at this moment.
He asked: "What kind?"
Wang Shu said: "It's a big piece of jade with cloud patterns on it. It's very beautiful."
Jiang Chao: "I just want a stone to make a shell."
Wang Shu seemed to be worried about Jiang Chao's health and safety, afraid that he would go too far or encounter any dangerous situation, so she hoped that he would go to an area that she thought was safer.
It's just that an artificial intelligence is so concerned and worried about him, which always makes Jiang Chao feel weird, as if the people in the painting have come to life.
After all, if you think about it carefully, everything is just a programmed reaction.
"Forget it, let's go take a look!"
Just like that, Jiang Chao took the lantern and set off.
This time, he did not go through the front door, but walked deeper into the stone wall and walked out through another door.
There was a dark gap in front of me, and I didn't know where it led.
This gap obviously does not lead to the outside, but to the depths of the mountain. However, the light cannot reach the end. At first glance, it looks like a dark hole that leads to the underworld.
Then as I walked forward, I heard a ticking sound.
Lifting the lamp, a stalactite cave suddenly opened up in front of me.
There are caves in the mountains. Large caves are connected to small caves. After walking through one cave, there is another cave. I don’t know how big it is.
On the way, Jiang Chao heard the sound of underground rivers flowing, passed through forest-like stalactites, and walked through naturally formed steep slopes like stairs.
It's like walking in another world.
——
The sky is dark and bright.
The two Taoists who stayed overnight at a villager's house at the foot of the mountain finally set off and set out on their way home at dawn, looking a little anxious.
Regarding the things they found and what they saw and heard here, they were eager to take them back, as if they were hiding a secret bigger than a mountain in their chests, and they were extremely eager to find a fellow traveler to tell them.
They walked until they reached the halfway point of the mountain. When they were about to climb over the first mountain, the sun came out.
The fat Taoist wiped his sweat and said, "Have a rest!"
But the thin Taoist sat at the end near the sun: "The sun is coming out."
The fat Taoist looked down: "The roads have been washed away."
Thin Taoist: "After this period, it will be easy to leave later."
The Yangtze River can be seen here, and the sun that has just risen is not very bright. At this moment, night and day coexist.
Even looking from the other side, the river wall is not far away, and even the cave with the statue of the god is right below.
After resting for a while, we then walked up the mountain. Just as we entered a deep bamboo forest, we saw layers of thick fog pouring in from the depths of the forest.
The two raised their heads and spoke.
"It's getting foggy."
"It's okay, let's go on!"
We just walked through the Jiao yesterday, and today there is heavy fog in the mountains. The climate in the mountains can be said to be truly unpredictable during the transition between winter and spring.
Walking into the bamboo forest, the fog becomes thicker.
The evergreen bamboo forest is also incompatible with this season, making people feel like they have broken into a secret realm.
"Such a heavy fog."
"It looks like the clouds are floating down from the sky."
The bamboo forest grows on the mountainside, so the two of them walked uphill. In addition, the original road was washed away, and the two of them looked a little strenuous with their waists bent. The thin Taoist walked in front and occasionally pulled the fat Taoist.
.
Suddenly, a melodious singing sound came from the depths of the high bamboo forest. It was a woman humming.
The song was melodious and melodious. It was a melody that the two of them had never heard before. It was like heavenly music. It was definitely not something that a country woman could sing.
Just listening to this singing voice, it seems that I can vaguely imagine that it must be a beautiful figure that is as graceful as the moon in the sky, but I don't know why it has landed here.
The two people immediately stopped and looked into the dense bamboo trees.
The two of them were a little stunned, and the fat Taoist asked: "Did you hear that?"
The thin Taoist nodded: "It seems like a woman is singing."
In such a heavy fog, although daylight is approaching at this time, it has not yet completely lit up. It is a moment of separation between yin and yang when the sky is dark and unclear.
At this time, when they heard the mysterious woman humming a voice that was almost like fairy music, both of them felt a little weird.
The two people unconsciously lowered their bodies and hid to the side.
The fat Taoist didn't know why at first: "What are you hiding from?"
The thin Taoist shook his head and said cautiously: "Be careful, something is not right."
As the song got closer and closer, a figure gradually came from the depths of the bamboo forest, but only the upper body was visible, while the lower body was completely wrapped in mist, as if the whole person had stepped on the clouds and mist.
It was a young man wearing white clothes, but he was tall and felt like he might be a young man.
The other person's hair is black and shiny, and his skin is as good as that of a child, making it difficult for people to tell his true age.
The white robe is as soft and delicate as silk, but it does not conform to any standard system at all. It is just wrapped around the body.
Simple and rugged clothing is used in this walk in the jungle, but it has a natural freedom and ease.
Coupled with the tall and well-proportioned body, it exudes primitive wildness and even gives people a sense of divinity originating from the ancient wilderness.
The moment they saw the man in white, both of them felt extremely surprised, because they had just clearly heard a woman's voice coming from the bamboo forest.
"Who is that?"
"Why is he a man?"
"The person we heard was obviously a woman!"
"What the hell."
Before the two people's doubts were answered, something even more surprising happened.
The woman's singing voice sounded again, it was still so clear and graceful, and the voice came from not far away in front of her.
What did the Slender Taoist discover: "I heard it, next to that person."
The fat Taoist was already sweating profusely: "Stop talking."
Because the man in white clearly didn't speak, but the melodious voice of a woman singing kept coming from his side, as if there was an invisible figure beside him closely following him.
However, no matter how they stared with their eyes wide open, they could not see the singing and dancing woman.
This strange scene made the fat and thin Taoists feel horrified.
This time I didn't just say I saw a ghost, but actually saw a ghost.
"hiss!"
The two of them no longer dared to speak. After taking a breath, they even held their breath.
Looking at the man in white walking down from the bamboo forest on the mountain through the clouds and mist, especially when he was getting closer and closer, the fat and thin man squatted behind a stone and a bush without daring to raise his head, and huddled tightly against the stone.
Body.
The two looked at each other.
It was clear in his eyes that he had definitely encountered some inhuman existence.
