Pu Niu

Zhang Xinya is the most educated among us and has a good accumulation of knowledge.

She didn't know the popular folk names such as "Ghost Face Smile", but she immediately understood it as soon as she mentioned Changyou, and immediately began to recite: "The mountain of Changyou has no vegetation, lots of water, and there are beasts. Its shape is like a bamboo with four ears.

The name is long and right, and its sound is like chanting. When you see it, there will be floods in the county.

You said this is what it is?"

I nodded. This kind of thing is very common in ancient books. What Zhang Xinya read was the original words from the most popular ancient book Shan Hai Jing. It probably said that Chang You looks like a long-tailed monkey, but has four ears.

Once seen, there may be flooding in the county.

Zhang Xinya said: "No way? I think this thing only has two ears!"

I didn't explain, but dragged the remaining corpse over with a grimace. At first glance, it did have only two ears, but as I opened the long white fluff under its ears, I saw that it had only two ears.

I saw another small ear, but this ear was very small. At first glance, it looked like the size of an adult's earlobe, but with both auricles and ear canals, there was no doubt that it had four ears.

Then I turned the body over again. It did have a tail on its buttocks, but the tail was coiled up and pressed tightly against its buttocks. It was hard to tell at first glance.

Lao Bai said that the tail on someone's butt looks like poop...

I was completely speechless for this guy. When I opened my mouth, I always greeted him. I pretended not to hear what he said and continued: "This thing should be the Changyou mentioned in the ancient books. It just has nothing to do with floods. It's just what the ancients always said."

This is due to the old habit of associating natural disasters with monsters. It is just a very rare and rare creature. Judging from its appearance, it may be related to the mandrill. It usually lives in polar environments above the snow line. In the past, snow

Serfs grazing in the wilds are often encountered.

It is said that this thing is very interested in babies. It likes to eat ten-month-old laughing children. At night, it will secretly lie outside the herdsmen's yurts and peek. Because it looks like an evil ghost, it can often scare people suddenly.

The women who are targeted are often frightened into confusion, and then the creature takes advantage of the situation, rushes into the yurt, snatches away the children, and runs away.

Someone has clearly captured this thing before. Probably in the Qing Dynasty, an elder of my family saw the body of this thing in a snowy area. He took the opportunity to take away a child at night. As a result, he encountered a cruel woman.

He chased the mastiff outside the yurt from dusk to dawn, but never gave the thing a chance to open its mouth and eat the child. In the end, the thing couldn't outrun the woman, so it left the child behind and fled into the mountains.

He was overtaken and bitten to death by a red-eyed mastiff.

Although the woman got the child back, she was still in poor health due to severe overdraft. She said her lungs were broken due to a runaway. She started vomiting blood not long after she returned, and finally died.

As far as I know, this kind of thing only appears in cold areas with high altitudes. Apart from snowy areas, it seems that it only appeared occasionally in the Genhe and Mohe areas in the Northeast. In the early years, it appeared in the Aolugu Yalu tribe on the other side of Genhe.

Someone once saw this thing on the mountain, but it was just a glimpse, and then it ran away. It is unheard of to be as large as the one we encountered. I guess, Lao Fu, the crow's mouth, is really right. We are probably going to

In the Spiral Snare Grand Canyon, apart from this mysterious area, I can’t think of any other place where so many grimace mandrills could be raised.”

When Lao Fu heard this, he grinned and said: "I told you a long time ago, you don't believe that we can get out that far, what's the matter? My judgment has always been reliable!"

After saying this, his face drooped again and he said: "Then again, what should we do now? Are we still looking for Mr. Zhang?"

As he said that, he moved a little further away from Lao Bai. The smell was really too choking.

"Wait, wait until Crazy Bear and the others have taken care of their wounds before leaving."

I thought about it and said: "Although Ghost Face Smiling has withdrawn, no one knows whether it will come back. If it comes again, we will definitely not be able to withstand it. It is better to go and meet with my master and the two of them early."

For good."

Thinking of my master, I was a little worried about the situation of him and Brother Yaozi. Compared with the ghost-faced smiles we dealt with, the big guy who came out when the wind and snow stopped should be more troublesome.

Mad Bear's injuries were serious. Even though Wushuang was very skilled in treating the wounds, it still took him an hour to sew up the rolled flesh. Half of his face was wrapped in gauze. During this period, we had no choice but to urinate into the kettle.

Several times.

When things were almost finished, and I was about to leave to find my master and Brother Yaozi, these two people came back, but they looked a little miserable. Brother Yaozi's face was almost like a pig's head, and his eyelids were so swollen that only his eyes were left.

There was a small slit, and his face was black and blue, turning into a piece of pork belly. His body was also covered in blood, and my master's robe was torn open. It seemed that the two of them had experienced a very fierce fight.

Fortunately, the two of them seemed to be in good spirits. They were talking and laughing along the way. After meeting us, they were startled by our appearance and asked hurriedly.

After explaining the situation, the two of them felt a little relieved.

After a pause, Brother Yaozi said to me happily: "Jingzhe, do you know what we encountered? Damn it, this is the first time in my life that I have encountered such a novel thing! Didn't you keep mumbling about this?

Are the local glaciers and demonic winds coming from strange places? The source is that thing!"

I quickly asked what it was.

"It's something that looks very much like a cow."

Brother Yaozi said: "The color of the body is blue-grey, and it is covered with scales one finger thick. Each of those scales is almost as big as half a washbasin. The two eyes are also light blue, and he has a donkey face.

, but there are fangs in the mouth, especially the nostrils, which are so big that it is scary. I guess it can be easily inserted with a fist, and there may be more left. There are two horns on the head that reach into the sky. It is really powerful. You

Have you seen my face? It’s the result of that thing!”

As he spoke, he brought the swollen face up.

I pushed him away and said that I was not short-sighted and could see what he looked like. I told him not to be pretentious and to speak quickly!

"This face was kicked by that thing's hoof!"

Brother Yao Zi smacked his mouth and said: "Horses, donkeys, these things are kicking backwards, aren't they? I think it looks a bit like these things, and I even thought of it, deliberately

I didn't get behind this thing, I was always dealing with it from the front. Who knew that the thing suddenly stood up and gave me a high whip kick, and a hoof hit me in the face. The two big bowls were like big ocean bowls.

The hoof completely caught my face, and I almost died on the spot!!"

I followed Brother Yaozi's description and imagined it carefully, and I got the image of that thing, but I really didn't know what it was.

"Pu Niu!"

My master said: "This thing is the legendary Pu Niu, an ancient monster that sucks wind and drinks dew. Ancient books say that this thing absorbs the air and turns into frost, and when its nostrils whine, it seems like a hurricane is rising.

From the current point of view, it probably sucks the water vapor in the air when it breathes, and then when it spits it out, it turns into large snowflakes. Wherever this thing lives, it will form

Large glaciers, and they can control the wind.

Whether it was the evil wind we encountered or this underground glacier, it was actually caused by this thing.

However, after tossing us twice in succession, it is exhausted, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to take it down. This thing’s evil nature and moral character are probably comparable to that of the Water Lord. The Water Lord can control floods, and this thing can control hurricanes.

It’s really tight.”

My master sighed and added: "It is rumored that this Pu Niu likes the souls of cannibals the most, and sometimes it will feed on mountain spirits. Whether it is the big-horned deer or the two people with ears, I am afraid that their souls will be scattered and they will be killed."

This thing ate it all, obviously it was not satisfied with these sacrifices, so it continued to pester us."

Zhang Xinya asked: "So, that thing has been killed by you, uncle?"

My master shook his head slightly.

But Brother Yaozi said that he had already been killed.

I was confused by them, and I frowned and said, "What's going on? Don't you two know whether I've killed him or not?"

The two of them fell into silence at the same time, and even they themselves couldn't figure out whether they were killed or not...
