Chapter 21: The Night in the Back Mountain
After a while, it was completely dark. You don't have to ask, there must be something weird in this.
Originally, we were still talking and laughing, but now we all became nervous. The father took out the compass, but found that it was all messed up, and the compass was running faster than a marquee. I turned on my phone and the compass was also out of effect.
My father told us to be careful, because things could change at any time. Obviously, he didn't expect that there would be monsters in broad daylight.
Due to the rugged mountain road, we had to line up. 's father walks in the front, Le Zonglei is like a fly, he must follow his father. I was behind Le Zonglei, and Sun Mingyang was behind me. We walked very slowly, which delayed the time.
From time to time, a few bird calls rang out in the darkness, reminding us that there were other creatures here.
After walking for a while, a lively inn appeared in front of me. The antique two-story building is bustling in front of the door, and there is an endless stream of restaurants for eating. They are all dressed in ancient costumes, and judging from the costumes, they look like people from the Song Dynasty.
We stood there and looked at the inn opposite. I can't help but wonder in my heart, could this be a mountain market?
With this question, I asked my father, "Is this a mountain market?"
"It doesn't matter if it's a mountain city or a mirage, let's go and see if we can find out. ”
The father hesitated and said, "Lixin, you sense it, tell me what you sense." ”
Feeling a great responsibility for a moment, I closed my eyes, not wanting to be disturbed by everything in front of me, and took a deep breath. I felt a little weird, I didn't have any images in my head, but my sense of smell told me that there was a strong smell of moisture and fishy.
"There's moisture, there's a fishy smell, it's like a river, a big river. I told my father.
Father nodded: "This is not a mountain market, there is something that wants to harm us." It transforms the reservoir into an inn, and if we walk past it, we will drown before we know it. Let's take a detour. ”
My father's words are not unreasonable, because behind Xiangshan, there is a reservoir, which is known to everyone in the village. We followed my father down another path, and after walking a hundred steps, my father asked us to look back, and at this time we found that the inn was no longer there at all, and what appeared in front of us was the big reservoir.
Luckily, we didn't pass just now, otherwise we don't know how we would have died.
Le Zonglei was also taken aback, he didn't expect it to be so terrifying, and apologized to us again and again.
"Master Yun is too powerful, otherwise we would have died just now. Sun Mingyang said.
"When Lixin gets the "Demon Suppression Record", my small skills will not be enough to worry about. Father said.
"Really? Our Mo family's "Demon Suppression Record" is so powerful?" I couldn't believe it.
Father nodded, "It's all left by your ancestors, and it's all about the true records of their subjugation of demons and subduing demons, and it's also something that fellow practitioners regard as treasures." Lixin, your Mo family's reputation is the first in the industry, and you will know it when you read that book in the future. ”
Hearing my father say this, I wanted to see it sooner, and when I thought of it, I was like being beaten with chicken blood, and my whole body was full of strength.
We walked in the dark for a long time, and found that it was getting brighter. When it was all daylight, our compass was back to normal, and I looked at the time, it was twelve o'clock in the morning.
"Could this be a fantasy as well? Why did it suddenly dawn? "I'm a little confused.
The father looked at the direction, and then looked at the compass in his hand: "This is not an illusion, the sun at noon is the most poisonous, and it is also the time of the day when the yang energy is the strongest, it should be the formation that broke that thing." We're going to have to dig it out before three o'clock, or we'll probably have to get under its control after three o'clock. ”
As soon as my father finished speaking, he suddenly struck a thunderbolt. The sky that was originally full of sunshine suddenly became overcast, and a gloomy wind blew.
"It's going to rain, master, let's find a place to hide, right?" Le Zonglei said busily.
Father sighed: "This demon is not dead, the mana can't control the dark, so it will be cloudy and rainy, it seems that I don't clean it up, it thinks we are easy to bully." ”
Father looked at the terrain and asked us to wait for him on the road, he climbed up the high ground, took out his double-row Five Emperors Bronze Coin Sword, and set up a magic circle on the high ground.
My father, who was as light as a swallow, recited a spell I did not understand, and pointed his sword at the sky. At this moment another bolt of lightning struck, and suddenly struck a large stone, which was split in two and rolled down the ground.
"No, get out of the way. "Father shouted at us.
We hurriedly ran to the side and saw the stone roll down the hill. Immediately after that, the thunder was like crazy, and it was split down one by one, and the mountains and rocks rolled everywhere. My father told us to go to the high ground, and he came to protect us, but the rocks were rolling and I couldn't climb up.
Le Zonglei and Sun Mingyang were very fast, dodging left and right and climbed up, Sun Mingyang turned his head and grabbed the hand, but I saw a stone, which happened to roll towards us.
"Fame be careful, there are stones in the back. I yelled to remind him.
Sun Mingyang didn't have time to dodge, so he threw me aside with a strong swing. But he was hit by a stone, and with the stone, he rolled down the mountain.
"Sun Mingyang! Le Zonglei is here to help. I cried out in pain.
The next second I'm going to slide down the heights, trying to catch Sun Mingyang. But I was dragged to the side by Le Zonglei, and several large stones rolled past me until I reached the cliff at the bottom of the mountain.
Sun Mingyang had long since disappeared, rolling down the cliff with the rocks.
"Sun Mingyang, Sun Mingyang. "I slid down the high ground crying, and I heard Le Zonglei and my father shouting at me behind me, but I didn't want to stop.
Sun Mingyang, you can't be fine, I've lost too many relatives, I don't want to lose you, Sun Mingyang, you must not be okay.
When I got to the edge of the cliff, I didn't see Sun Mingyang, and I tried to calm myself down. Plucked up the courage to look at the bottomless abyss, if Sun Mingyang rolled down, then he would have no chance of survival.
It's all my fault, Sun Mingyang was hit by a stone in order to save me, and it's all my fault. Tears were like beads with broken threads, dripping down the rocks. The heartache is terrible, and there is even some lack of oxygen. I was sitting on the edge of the cliff and felt a ringing in my ears, I was afraid that I wouldn't hear Sun Mingyang's cry for help, so I turned around and wanted to call Le Zonglei over. saw Le Zonglei and his father running over.
When they saw me like this, they probably knew a little better.
"Can you go down this cliff? Sun Mingyang must be down there, he is waiting for us to save him. I cried and told my father.
My father's throat moved, but he didn't speak. He stepped forward and looked at the cliff. It's steep and steep, and there's no bottom in sight.
"We're going to look for books, time is running out, we can't afford to delay any longer. That thing was injured just now, and this is the time to work in our favor. I asked Narcissus to go to the bottom of the cliff to find Sun Mingyang, she is faster than us, let's divide into two ways, and we won't delay things. Father said, silently reciting a few words.
"I'm looking for Sun Mingyang with Narcissus, master, you and your sister are going to dig books. Le Zonglei said.
The father disagreed: "No, if you follow Narcissus, it will only cause trouble for her, and Narcissus will be able to reach the bottom of the cliff in a while, and it will be a drag with you." ”
I was much more relieved to have narcissus, but I hadn't seen the shadow of narcissus yet, so I asked my father, "Is narcissus coming?" ”
My father comforted me: "Don't worry, Narcissus has already gone to find it, let's hurry up and hurry up and try to go back early." When Narcissus finds Sun Mingyang, he will naturally come to join us. ”
After listening to my father's words, I felt a little relieved, and followed him on the main road, and we walked briskly to the west.
Without Sun Mingyang behind me, I always feel empty, Sun Mingyang will be fine, I secretly pray in my heart.
After walking for a short time, my father stopped. There was a big pine tree in front of me, and my father said he had found it.
At that moment, it suddenly became dark again. This time, there was a north wind, which hurt our ears.
My father told us to hurry up and not delay, because it would probably rain later.
My father decided on the location, and we started work. With the small shovel they carried, the three of them worked together and soon dug up a red jar.
The jar was dug out, and my father put it in his bag and handed it to Le Zonglei to carry. We began to return.
At this time, there was a mournful cry from the mountains, like the cry of thousands of people, pouring in from all directions.
"It's not good, it's a hundred ghosts on the road, and it looks like I've met an opponent today. Father frowned.
"Then what should we do?" asked Le Zonglei in horror.
"Hide first. "My father was surveying the terrain.
Not far away, I saw a mountain col, and I was busy pointing it out to my father. We ran into the col, and the three of us crouched inside, watching the situation outside.
After a while, there were more dense figures on the mountain, and they were like walking corpses, covering the entire mountain.
My father took out three pieces of talisman paper, and we put them on our foreheads. It's invisibility charms, as long as we don't speak, they don't make a sound, they can't see us.
We slowly lay on the ground and looked at the situation outside.
They seemed to be looking for something, and some of them passed by us, and the smell of decay floated in the air. I know they're looking for us.
Watching them walk by in waves, I felt that my whole body was going to stiffen, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to gasp.
Suddenly, Le Zonglei behind him screamed and ran away like a rabbit. As he ran, everything followed.
"It's not good, Le Zonglei is in danger. The father screamed and ran away.
I found myself shuddering, but I got up and followed their direction.
We've alarmed the ghosts, the invisibility charm has been invalidated, and the layers of figures are coming with us.
At this critical moment, a flute sounded. The things seemed to be frightened, and suddenly they fled into the wilderness, and after a while they were gone.
"Lixin. A familiar voice sounded behind him.
I turned around and saw He Cong, who was still holding a hundred ghosts in his hand.
Great, where did it come from?
Before I could speak, I heard Le Zonglei screaming in the distance.
I ran towards that side at the same time as He Cong, and as I ran, the sky dawned, and everything in front of me became clear.
Le Zonglei fainted on the side of the road, we ran over, how could we let Le Zonglei lean on himself and pinch his people.
Le Zonglei opened his eyes and screamed.
"Ghosts, there are ghosts. ”
"Well, now there's nothing. He comforted him.
Le Zonglei glanced around, and finally lost his breath.
"Lixin, take a look in the backpack, the jar is still there. Le Zonglei hurriedly reminded me.
I took down Le Zonglei's backpack and saw that the jar was still lying inside, but the mouth had been opened.
We took out the "Ghost Kitchen Cookbook" and "Demon Suppression Record".
I couldn't hide my curiosity and rummaged around a few times, only to find a problem.
The middle page of "Demon Suppression and Demon Suppression" was torn off, and it looked like it had just been torn off.
I was wondering how there was one missing, Le Zonglei looked behind me and screamed again.
I was so frightened by his shout that I didn't even dare to look behind me.
