"Are you human too?"

Mo Shouchen looked at the mountain guard with an expression of complete disbelief on his face.

The mountain guard stared and said, "Of course I am a human being. If I were a ghost, would I let you go down the mountain?"

"But why is your face covered in blood?"

The mountain guard touched his face and explained: "I accidentally got these on when I was hunting, and then I ran into some trouble, so I didn't have time to clean them up."

"What about the ghosts following you?" Mo Shouchen asked, pointing to the black shadows following the mountain guardian.

The mountain guard looked back at the black figures not far behind him, smiled contemptuously, and said: "These are ghosts on the snow-capped mountains. They are following me to find opportunities to attack me and prevent me from going up the mountain."

"Preventing you from going up the mountain?"

"Yes!" The mountain guard nodded heavily, "The reason why I live on the mountain is because there is a snow mandrill sealed on the top of the mountain. My responsibility is to repair the seal regularly to prevent the snow mandrill from escaping."

"What is a snow mandrill?"

"This has nothing to do with you. I don't know why you are here, but if you want to prevent me from repairing the seal, then I have to kill you first!"

As he spoke, the mountain guard swung the fire stick and assumed an attacking posture.

"Wait a minute!" Mo Shouchen took half a step back and reached out to stop him: "Maybe I can help you!"

"help me?"

"Yes!"

Mo Shouchen nodded. He believed that the mountain guard was not lying, because the mountain guard's combat power was not enough to match the difficulty of the Yuanbao level.

Therefore, he speculated that the ultimate target of this script mission was probably the snowy mandrill mentioned by the mountain guard.

"Why should I trust you?" It seems that the mountain guard does not trust Mo Shouchen.

Mo Shouchen glanced at the dark figures behind the mountain guardian and said with a smile, "I can help you solve the troubles behind you!"

Hearing Mo Shouchen's words, the black shadows behind the mountain guard began to stir.

They have not taken action against the mountain guardian, probably just to misunderstand Mo Shouchen, so that Mo Shouchen and the mountain guardian can kill each other, and then they can do the last-ditch attack.

But now Mo Shouchen not only believed the mountain guard's words, but also wanted to help the mountain guard deal with them, so these black shadows no longer concealed the malice in their hearts and began to surround Mo Shouchen and the mountain guard.

Although the mountain guardians did not take these ghosts seriously, having them following them would indeed have an impact on the repair of the seal.

Since Mo Shouchen promised to help him get rid of these ghosts, he would naturally not refuse.

Seeing that the mountain guard acquiesced to his proposal, Mo Shouchen said to Su Ya and the fat chef beside him: "Let's go and deal with these evil ghosts."

Because these ghosts killed their companions who went up the mountain together, Mo Shouchen had no sympathy for them. He took out his keyboard and rushed up with the fat chef.

At the same time, several crimson thorns broke out from the feet of these ghosts and attacked them.

Seeing Mo Shouchen and many ghosts fighting with real swords and guns, the mountain guard began to believe that he really wanted to help him.

In order to save time, the mountain guards also joined the battle with fire sticks. After killing nearly half of the ghosts, the remaining ghosts began to flee in all directions and soon disappeared without a trace.

After getting rid of the ghost, Mo Shouchen went up the mountain with the mountain guard.

Although he could see the rocks on the top of the mountain, it was still a short distance away from the top of the mountain, so he asked all the questions in his mind, and the mountain guard patiently answered them.

During the fight outside the cabin, the mountain guard threw a black object at Mo Shouchen. It was a special charcoal ball he made, which was very lethal to ghosts.

But Mo Shouchen, who was hit by the charcoal ball, didn't react at all, so he realized that Mo Shouchen was alive.

As for the snow mandrill, it is actually a kind of spirit formed by resentment in the mountains.

A long time ago, there was a village at the foot of Jiamu Snow Mountain. As a result of foreign invasion, the people in the village had no choice but to flee into the mountains, and eventually they all froze to death in the mountains.

The resentment of these people condensed in the snow-capped mountains and gradually transformed into a snow-capped mandrill. Not only would it attack people who went up the mountain, it would also often come down the mountain to harass nearby villages.

Later, a nearby village jointly invited a Taoist priest to help him deal with the snow mandrill.

However, the Snow Mandrill and Jamu Snow Mountain are connected by the same vein. If we want to completely kill the Snow Mandrill, we have to blow up the entire Jamu Snow Mountain, but this is obviously impossible.

In the end, the Taoist could only seal the snow mandrill on the top of the mountain, and the seal needed to be repaired every year to prevent it from escaping.

People who later die on the mountain will also become evil ghosts in the mountain due to the influence of the snow mandrill.

So before leaving, the Taoist taught the village chief of the village at the foot of the mountain how to repair the seal and some techniques to exorcise ghosts.

From then on, the village chief's clan members would choose a person to go up the mountain to guard the seal, and they would change it every ten years. Even if the village at the foot of the mountain is gone, this rule continues to this day.

When he heard that the mountain guardian guarded the seal on the snow mountain to prevent the snow mandrill from running out and harming people, and that he had stayed there for ten years, Mo Shouchen immediately respected the mountain guardian.

The two of them walked and chatted, and finally reached the top of the mountain.

He didn't know if it was because of the night, but as soon as he stepped onto the top of the mountain, Mo Shouchen felt a cold air penetrate through the thick clothes and penetrate into the seams of his bones, which made him very uncomfortable.

He tightened his collar and followed the mountain guard to the black stone.

The mountain guard took out a mineral water bottle from his arms, which contained a black powder like carbon powder.

He opened the bottle cap, dipped his finger into some black powder, and then told Mo Shouchen behind him: "Help me light it up!"

Mo Shouchen turned on his flashlight and shined it on the black stone, and asked curiously: "Why don't you come during the day?"

While tracing the pattern on the black stone with black powder, the mountain guard said: "This seal only needs to be repaired once a year, but for some reason this year, the seal lost its effectiveness ten days earlier than in previous years. I also went up the mountain today.

I just discovered it while hunting.”

"Originally, I planned to go up the mountain quickly to repair the seal, but I was hit by an avalanche. After I finally crawled out of the snow, I was pestered by evil spirits, which delayed my time."

Hearing that the mountain guard had also suffered an avalanche, Mo Shouchen frowned, as if he had thought of something.

He asked: "You were just about to go up the mountain to repair the seal, and an avalanche happened. Is it a coincidence?"

The mountain guard sighed softly and said: "I know what you want to say. You are right. The avalanche was caused by the snow mandrill to prevent me from going up the mountain."

"You were walking down the mountain just now, but you appeared in front of me again. It is probably the fault of it. It wants us to fight. It seems that the seal can no longer completely suppress it."

Mo Shouchen glanced at the pattern that had just been traced for less than a third of the time, and then said, "Do you think the snow mandrill will run out before you finish repairing the seal?"

The mountain guard turned back and glared at Mo Shouchen, and said, "Bah, bah, bah, don't say such unlucky words, knock on the wood three times!"

Mo Shouchen shrugged his shoulders, but just as he was about to knock the mountain guard's fire stick, the ground shook violently, and a piece of snow not far away suddenly collapsed into a large pit.
