Dajin Ya said: "A soul-calling master has to look particularly ugly and ferocious for it to work, such a person naturally has an intimidating presence to ghosts and spirits. When we go to find the source of the fox demon coffin, there will certainly be many evil and vengeful spirits there, so with Ma Li San, the Yin spirits will avoid us, it's like we've brought a get-out-of-death-free card with us."
After listening to Dajin Ya's words, I couldn't help feeling that this guy was mocking Ma Li San for being ugly.
But I liked it, so I called Ma Li San.
"Hello! Little Brother Li."
"San, please help me out. I want to go to a rather 'gloomy' place, come and help me hold the fort." I said to Ma Lisan.
Ma Lisan nodded immediately, saying, "No problem, we must come for your matter, Xiao Li Ge."
I said, "Okay, although this time no one is paying for the work, I can't let you come for nothing. I will personally give you 10,000."
Ma Lisan quickly said, "No need, 'gloomy' people and those who recruit 'gloomy' people are like brothers. Talking about money too much between us hurts our relationship, anyway, it's just helping out."
He declined for a while, but finally agreed to take the money, saying he would come in an hour.
"Alright, we'll wait for Ma Lisan to arrive." I gestured for Da Jinya to quickly brush his teeth and wash his face and then pack up, and also asked Mu Xuyou to sit on the sofa and watch TV.
Half an hour later, there was a loud knock on the door of my house.
"Hmm, San is acting quite fast," I went to the door and opened it.
Standing at the door was not Ma Lisan but Zhu Ying, elegant and statuesque.
Zhu Ying was wearing tight leather pants, a black vest, looking quite handsome and spirited.
I was a little surprised, and said, "Zhu Ying, why did you come to our house in the middle of the day?"
Zhu Ying coldly replied, expressionless, "I invite you and Mr. Jin to have a meal."
She still spoke in such a cool manner, one sentence after another.
I said, "What meal are you inviting me and Da Jinya to?"
"To thank you for helping me become an actor," Zhu Ying said for the second time, "This is a personal matter."
Hehe!
I couldn't help but laugh. Zhu Ying, the cool 'female' hunter, actually knew the word "personal favor." Not easy, not easy.
I said, "I can't eat today, let's go another time. I have to go find the source of the fox coffin."
Zhu Ying immediately said, "I'll go too, I'm a fox keeper."
It's true that Zhu Ying is a fox keeper, and she has a little more martial arts skills than her father Zhu Long, but if she goes, what about the afternoon play? No shooting?
She said the work was done for the day, no need to shoot this afternoon.
I clapped my hands, okay!
This time our team is going to explore the source of the fox coffin, it's quite a lineup. In addition to me as the strategist recruiting 'gloomy' people, the team also includes the fox keeper Zhu Ying, Golden Tooth Shaman, and Mr. Jiaohun.
I feel this operation is going to be smooth!
"Sure, it's even better if you're willing to help," I asked Zhu Ying to sit on the sofa and watch TV.
Zhu Ying sat on the sofa and started wiping her hunting knife. Oh, it scared the palm mirror Mu Xuyou, who thought he had encountered the underworld.
Half an hour later, Ma Lisan also arrived.
With our team complete, I directly set off in a van.
"Are you sure you know the way?"
"I know!" Mu Xuyou said.
I asked, "How far is it to the destination?"
Mu Xuyou said it would take five or six hours.
"So far?" I was stunned by Mu Xuyou. I wonder, did Yue Yun know how to save money, steal a coffin, and drive for six hours to steal it? I trusted you, and you stole a coffin from a minority group.
Mu Xuyou said it's about the border of Guangdong.
I almost understood, there are many ethnic minorities at the border of Guangdong, and they use stone coffins for funerals, while other places use wooden coffins.
I thought Yue Yun was quite talented, stealing a stone coffin and even knowing to steal from a minority group. But in the end, he dug his own grave by driving six hours and didn't steal the minority coffin, instead stealing a fox coffin. Well, they say a person with low moral values will face retribution, this statement is true.
Following Mu Xuyou's directions, I set off in the van.
Zhu Ying might be tired from filming recently, as she tilted her head and fell asleep as soon as she got in the car.
Mu Xuyou has been giving directions, telling me when to turn left or right, which direction to go.
The only thing that could ease the boredom was Ma Lisan and Da Jinya's cross talk.
Ma Lisan is a particularly simple and honest person, always missing a string in his head.
As for Da Jinya, he's a bit naughty. Usually, I am his cash cow, so he doesn't dare to trick me. Now he keeps mocking Ma Lisan.
For example, Da Jinya asks Ma Lisan, "San, do you want to be as handsome as me? Handsome as a jade tree in the wind, do you want to?"
Ma Lisan looked at Da Jinya and said, "No, we call Mr. Jiaohun to be as ugly as me."
Da Jinya asked again, "Are you envious of my looks? Look, how handsome! How suave, envious or not?"
Ma Lisan nodded, "Very envious."
Da Jinya was very satisfied with this answer. He hadn't had enough of his swagger, but Ma Lisan said, "But, Jinya, how come you're so handsome, but you don't have a wife? No girlfriend, I'm about the same age as you, and my son has found a girlfriend!"
I almost laughed and drove the car onto the curb. Damn! Da Jinya, if you act shameless, you deserve to be teased.
Dajinya looked bitter and said Ma Lisan is really unpredictable.
It was seven or eight o'clock in the evening before we parked the car.
The car was parked at the foot of a mountain.
Mu Xu said: It's this mountain, the stone coffin is on the 'feng' of the mountain.
"Is it?" I looked at the mountain, it was really desolate with no signs of human activity.
I asked Mu Xu how he found his way here.
Mu Xu shook his head and said he didn't know, this place was found by Yue Yun and he brought him here.
"Alright, let's go up the mountain!"
I waved my hand and led the team up this solitary hill.
The road was rough and the way up the mountain was extremely difficult, with old locust trees on both sides swaying their branches and looking eerie in the moonlight.
"Tsk tsk, you dare to climb this kind of mountain? I really admire your courage," I criticized Mu Xu.
As we walked along the mountain road, we encountered many eerie spirits along the way.
But with so many ghostly people here, the eerie spirits all avoided us.
In addition, we also have two treasures, one is the ugly face of Ma Lisan, and the other is the fox's blood smeared on the knife by Zhu Ying. These two things are not something ordinary eerie spirits dare to provoke.
We proceeded smoothly.
As we got to the halfway point, Mu Xu suddenly said he had a stomach ache and needed to find a place to relieve himself.
I asked Dajinya to follow him, suspecting that Mu Xu was playing tricks and had led us to this solitary hill for his own good.
Dajinya was unwilling, saying that if Mu Xu had a stomach ache, he surely must need to defecate, the smell of which would be intense, so why should he go.
I kicked Dajinya's butt: "What's wrong with you? Your feet always seem like they've been dipped in a pit latrine, and now you're complaining about the smell of someone else's feces? Have you ever thought about my feelings?"
Dajinya probably felt remorseful for always using his feet to torture me, so he lowered his head and followed Mu Xu's pace.
The two of them entered the depths of the forest.
They took half an hour to defecate, and I had smoked three or four cigarettes, and they still hadn't come out. I began to wonder, why did it take so long to defecate? Just as I was about to call them out.
Suddenly, a miserable scream came from the forest.
The scream came from Dajinya.
"Oh my god!" I stubbed out my cigarette and rushed into the forest. Could it be that Dajinya was being attacked?
I rushed in, and Ma Lisan and Zhu Ying followed suit.
When I entered the forest, I saw Mu Xu in a panic and asked him what happened. Where's Dajinya?
He pointed his trembling finger at a deep pit not far away and said that Dajinya didn't see the road clearly and fell in.
I peered into the pit and was shocked to see Dajinya screaming while being surrounded by numerous snakes!
In the deep mountain, there were indeed snakes, but this many, wasn't this their nest?
I was about to jump into the pit to save Dajinya.
Zhu Ying stopped me, then she jumped in and swiftly wielded her hunting knife, chopping several snakes in half.
"Up you go."
Zhu Ying grabbed Dajinya and carried him on her back, like a monkey, and quickly jumped out of the two to three-meter deep pit.
After we came out, I suddenly heard the sound of something crawling above our heads. I looked up and saw various snakes crawling in the branches above!
The forest was full of snakes! Let's get out of here.
I shouted loudly.
Everyone hurried out.
Many snakes fell onto us, and we quickly brushed them off.
However, Zhu Ying, the Ewenki huntress, was so graceful. Her curved knife kept swinging, and I don't know how many long snakes she had killed.
After leaving this forest, we returned to the mountain road, and when we looked back, we didn't see any snakes following us.
I realized that there was something odd about these snakes, they didn't seem to run away or bite people. There was one that stopped on my neck for a long time. I didn't react at the time, it wasn't until more than ten seconds later that I remembered there was a snake on my neck and quickly shook it off.
It had the chance to bite me, why didn't it?
After some thought, I dismissed the idea. Damn, if the snake doesn't bite me, why would I provoke it?
I calmed myself and pointed at Mu Xu, saying: Are you out of your mind? When you came to this mountain, didn't you notice there were so many snakes here? And you still dared to go to the forest to relieve yourself? If it weren't for the Ewenki huntress in our team, we would all have died here!
Mu Xu hung his head and didn't dare to speak.
It was Dajinya who exclaimed in surprise: Hey, these are not snakes!
"Not snakes? Then what are they?" I asked Dajinya.
Dajinya touched the snake blood on his shoulder, sniffed it, and said it seemed to be eel blood.
"Eel blood?" Ma Lisan was also curious, he dabbed a little snake blood on himself and sniffed it, then nodded hastily, saying yes, it was indeed eel blood.
Damn, how come there are so many eels in this place?
Eels and snakes have some similarities, both long and slim. But eels should be living in the water, how did they appear on the land? And on such a high mountain?
This is really strange!
Before we could figure out the strange eels, Zhuying suddenly poked me with her finger and then pointed to the road ahead, asking me, "Li Ge, what do you see there?"
