Chapter 51: Eggs (II)
There is a folk saying that there are nine demons and one nightmare, which means that nine demons can be generated in the world, and one nightmare may not be formed; And the ferocity of the nine demons is not as good as one nightmare. The thing in front of me turned out to be a nightmare hatchling, and it was about to hatch.
"So what do we do next?" If it's an ordinary demon, I might be able to get the tapir in my body to eat it. But the ferocity of the Nightmare and the similarities it has to me, I really don't know what to do.
The ancient tree in front of him has completely withered, and the branches and trunks are wrapped in the thick sap flowing down from the insect eggs, emitting a ** smell, which looks lifeless. All the villagers were gone, and as soon as the light of the lantern disappeared, the surroundings were immediately plunged into darkness. The crane stretched out his slender finger and pointed to the right, and the lantern on the house next to it immediately came back on. In the faint light, I saw a dark shadow in the canopy of the tree suddenly move, and it looked like the thing was about to hatch.
"Crane," I tugged at his robe, and the tension made fine sweat ooze from my forehead, "you hurry up and think of a way." ”
He tugged at the robe I was holding on, pouted and muttered, "Really! I don't want to care about the things you control your dreams about. ”
I saw that he looked lazy, and seemed to be determined not to care about this matter.
"Even if you don't care about me, don't you care about those villagers of yours!" I continued to pull his robe and said, "Their spiritual power has been eaten by the nightmare, what if you don't save them!" ”
“……”
"Are you just going to watch the village you created with your own hands ruined on this thing! Feed! Do you want this retreat in the future! ”
From the direction of the canopy, "Smack! A loud bang interrupted my argument. A large mass of thick orange-yellow sap dripped from a high place to the ground, and when I looked up, there was not much yellow light left, and the hatching was almost complete.
"Hurry up!!!" I almost ripped off the crane's clothes.
He finally reacted, stretched out his fingers and rubbed his nose, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it!" I'll just help you. ”
When I heard him say yes, I immediately let go of my hand and waited expectantly for him to react. I saw that he unfastened his clasped hands, reached into his robe and dug it out, and found a humanoid doll. Look at the straight black hair and sparse bangs, plus a gray casual jacket and martin boots...... Isn't that me!
"When are you ...... Oh! It hurts! "I was about to ask him when he made a doll based on me, but he tore a few hairs from my head, and I screamed in pain." What are you doing!! ”
"Help you, or what do you think I'm doing?" He still had the same face, holding the hair plucked from my head and carefully wrapping it around the body of the humanoid doll. Then I took out a piece of rune paper with my name written on it and pasted it on the back of the doll.
"Now, let me test you, what is this ancient spell that uses humanoid puppets called?" Tsuru asked, doing his work.
I WAS STUNNED FOR A MOMENT, AND THEN I THOUGHT OF A SCENE THAT OFTEN APPEARS IN TVB PALACE FIGHTING DRAMAS: A CERTAIN CONCUBINE ASKED FOR A HUMANOID PUPPET FROM A TAOIST PRIEST IN ORDER TO COMPETE FOR FAVOR ON THE TOP, AND THEN WROTE ON IT THE BIRTH DATE OF THE QUEEN WHO HINDERED HER PROMOTION, AND DESPERATELY POKED IT WITH A NEEDLE, AND FINALLY THE QUEEN DIED VIOLENTLY UNDER THIS CURSE, THEEND.
"This is, the art of disgust?"
"Ha, I haven't watched a lot of TV series!" After finishing the work in hand, he said to me, "The art of disgust is also called the method of nightmare. From ancient times to the present, this kind of spell actually has more than one effect of curse, but the interests of human beings are too heavy, and only the use of curse has been handed down.
"Nightmare Town, that is, Nightmare Town. Another function of this spell is to act as a stand-in, so that Nightmare mistakenly thinks that this is its target, so as to towning Nightmare in this doll. The nightmare in front of us is still just a hatchling, so this spell should be able to wipe it out completely. ”
It dawned on me that I had to say that Tsuru knew so much more than I did, and I admired him a little. I urged him to move quickly, for judging by the sound coming from the canopy, time was running out.
"Okay, okay, it's almost okay, don't rush me!" Tsuru said impatiently, casting a spell on the humanoid doll, placing her where I had just stood. "There's one last step left! Quick, create a dream and imprison it here, so that it doesn't have to wait a while for it to find out that something is wrong and run out. ”
I immediately followed the instructions of the crane and weaved a small dream based on this crossroads. It can be said that dreams are like another form of enchantment, which can also play the role of imprisoning living beings.
When it was ready, he took out two folded notes from his treasure chest-like robe and handed one to me. I took the note and looked at it, it was a copy of something like a Buddhist scripture.
"This is the Sutra of the Buddha, put it on the body, and those bad things will not be able to see us for a while." With that, the crane led me into the shadows of the roadside, quietly observing the small humanoid puppet exposed to the ground.
In the darkness, a sudden "squeak" sound came from the direction of the ancient tree, apparently something heavy on the branch, and it was still moving. The juvenile nightmare went into action, and it didn't take long for it to jump to the ground.
Even though I had the Sutra of the Dharani Sutra on my body, the young body of the demon should not be able to see me, but my palms were still sweating nervously, and I was trembling unconsciously. My heart was beating faster, as if it was about to burst out of my throat.
The shadow slowly moved towards the humanoid doll, finally entering the range illuminated by the lantern's light. As soon as the furry black tentacles appeared, I immediately couldn't help but exclaim, "Spider! ”
The crane reached out and covered my mouth and whispered to me, "The Nightmare has no fixed form, and the more you fear something, the more it will become the object of your fear." You don't make a sound, ruin the whole plan. ”
I nodded, swallowing my shout before the crane let go. I don't know when I was so close to him, almost leaning against his chest. I don't think he likes to be clean anymore, I just feel that being closer to him makes me feel safer.
The full picture of the nightmare gradually appeared in my field of vision, and sure enough, it was a giant spider that had been completely black. The row of dense eyes on its massive torso kept bobbing from side to side, giving me goosebumps at the sight. Especially when looking at this dark corner where we were, its eyes stayed for a moment, but fortunately, its attention was immediately attracted by the humanoid doll on the ground.
At a distance of three meters from the puppet, it violently spat out a plate of sticky, hot and humid spider silk. The steaming spider silk emits a foul smell like sulfuric acid. Soon, clumps of spider silk wrapped around the doll, and the doll gradually turned into a white ball of sticky.
Seeing that his prey was already in the bag, the nightmare quickly approached, the sharp black claws inserted into the center of the white sticky ball, and then brought to his mouth, opened his bloody mouth and began to slowly devour, the sound of this eating sounded creepy, I subconsciously grabbed the crane's hand tightly. I don't know if it's an illusion, but the crane clenched it tightly as if it were comforting me. It didn't take long for the entire doll to be swallowed into its stomach, and the silence around it was once again restored.
I waited for a while, but there was still no movement, and I couldn't help but wonder if Tsuru's spell had worked. "Hey, is that okay......" I whispered in his ear.
The crane didn't answer me, still staring in the direction of the nightmare. I felt bored, and I regained my gaze. Suddenly, Nightmare's huge belly began to bulge, like a balloon, growing bigger and bigger. The bulging was so fast that it almost burst its belly.
Aware of the problem, the Nightmare began to swing its claws around in frustration, and many of the houses on the side were destroyed by his claws, but it had no intention of stopping, and seemed to be in unbearable pain. Finally, with the "Bang! With a few sounds, the nightmare's stomach cracked through countless small holes, and beams of dazzling white light shone out of the black holes, illuminating the dark night sky as if it were day.
I turned my face and the crane covered my eyes with his hand, and the harsh light made me feel faint.
"It's over." He said quietly.
When I heard this, I dared to open my eyes. The wet fog gradually lifted, and the vision became clearer. The place where the nightmare was just now turned into a large black pit, and countless bright white points of light slowly floated out of the pit, like fireflies, dotted with stars, flashing with intoxicating brilliance in the night sky.
"These things are ......" I looked at the "fireflies" floating towards me and curiously reached out to touch them.
"Don't touch it, if you do, you won't come back." I immediately withdrew my hand.
The sparkling light suddenly became larger, and gradually took on the shape of a human being. I was pleasantly surprised to see the changes in front of me, as the villagers who had just disappeared were slowly walking out of the silver-white points of light one by one.
So these are all souls...... They were all saved......
I couldn't help but look at the crane standing aside, still standing silently in the light with his hands on his cuffs. But I could clearly feel that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Seeing that I had been staring at him, he immediately glared at me and said:
"Look at what, don't think about it."
...... I didn't speak, just watched him quietly and smiled.
"Hey! What are you doing! Did I laugh! "He walked up to me with some anger, pouting like a child.
"I didn't say anything." I turned around and thought to myself that he would be even happier than I was when he saw the villagers return.
"Given that you just laughed at me, I've decided to detain you for a few more days." He whispered in my ear.
"What!" I was so scared by him that I exclaimed.
"A few weeks." He began to walk back.
"Hey!"
"A few years."
