Chapter 34 "The Fog"
With Qiu Dajun, a local native, as a guide, our next road is quite smooth, if we continue to walk at this speed, I estimate that no more than 20 kilometers of mountain road at most, we can go directly to that strange fog area, we can walk this way can be described as cautious, there is no way this belongs to the undeveloped primeval forest, it is full of some strange animals and plants, some of which even scientists can't name us.
In this way, we walked and rested for four or five hours, and finally arrived at the place at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and saw that there was a large area of fog in front of me, how to say that this place gave me a very strange feeling, as if it invisibly caused a strong sense of oppression to me, and then looked at Peng Hui also stared at the front with a solemn face for two long speechless, thinking about what he was thinking.
And I called Qiu Dajun to go around the neighborhood together, my idea is very simple is to see, is there any other way to get around this fog, but the result made me disappointed, I found this place is very special, just take the place where we stand, there are two mountains on both sides, the mountain is steep and looks like, two naturally formed city walls, it is basically impossible to bypass, it seems that it can only pass through this fog, and when I return to the entrance, I remembered to ask Penghui what he found.
"Not yet. β
Peng Hui paused and continued: "But I just felt that this fog should not be formed naturally. β
Not naturally formed?
I was stunned and immediately asked, "What do you mean at this time?"
Peng Hui paused: "Hmm...... I don't know how to explain it to you, but it's a strange place, and the fog isn't a natural sight, nor is it made up of dirt, and it's the first time I've encountered this situation anyway. β
Well, even Peng Hui has no idea now, but we have come here to say something, and there is no reason to quit! Even if there is any unknown danger ahead, we can only bite the bullet.
Thinking of this, I let out a long breath and said, "Okay, anyway, everyone should be careful when they go in." β
After that, we each found a place to rest, so I stayed in place for about half an hour, and when my strength recovered a little, I packed up my things and set off, and plunged into the fog, this time it didn't matter that an extremely depressed feeling rose from my heart, which was completely irrepressible, not only me, but even Qiu Dajun and Zhang Qian, they were no better, and their faces began to become difficult to see, I guess I couldn't see where I could go at this moment.
We followed the direction we had planned in advance and kept heading northwest, but the strange thing was that our legs were sore after walking for two or three hours in a row, and we never got out of this misty area, this place was like a sea of mist, there was no end at all, and we couldn't get out of it endlessly.
Just when all of us were in a tense mood, Qiu Dajun in front of us suddenly shouted: "Hey! Something is wrong!"
Seriously, I was so frightened by the sudden roar of this thing that I almost jumped up at the time, and I thought it was some danger, so I completely subconsciously pulled out the knife on my waist and rushed forward, and then asked what?
Probably frightened by my actions, Qiu Dajun didn't react for a while, and after a long while, he said, "I said brother, what are you doing with a knife?"
I didn't pay attention to this thing but looked around in front of me, and I was not happy to see that there was nothing abnormal, so I directly angrily scolded Qiu Dajun: "I said that you are fine, can you not be blind?"
Qiu Dajun was not angry and said at the moment: "Hey...... Didn't you notice anything wrong?"
Wrong?
I was stunned and thought about it carefully, but I didn't think anything was wrong, so I asked Qiu Dajun what was wrong.
"Hmm...... We seem to be coming full circle!"
What's going around in circles?
Me: "You're not mistaken, are you?"
Qiu Dajun: "It's not wrong, you see. β
Saying that, Qiu Dajun pointed to a tree next to him: "At the beginning, I was afraid of getting lost, so I left marks on the trees we passed. β
"I found out too. β
At this time, even Zhang Qian on the side said: "I also feel it, don't you say that I thought it was a delusion! β
To be honest, I already believed it when Qiu Dajun first reminded me, and I had to accept this reality even more when I added Zhang Qian's certainty, not to mention Qiu Dajun's military background, it is unlikely that this low-level mistake of identifying the direction will happen to him, so we have encountered an extremely difficult problem at the moment.
"What should I do?"
At this time, Peng Hui said: "You are the leader of the team, we listen to you." β
I?
I was stunned by the question at the time, but after thinking about the meaning of Penghui's words, I understood it after thinking about it carefully, because this mission is my entry test, because I have not been in the industry for a long time, so all aspects, I need Penghui's support as a friend, after all, we are brothers who share hardships together, whether it is the fox demon killing in Dingshuigou, or the trip to the ancient tomb in Qinling Mountain, we are all friends of life and death.
But after all, there is no feast in the world, and he can't always follow me and leave sooner or later, after all, people also have their own things to do, think about it, and know that the person in charge of a province, can there be fewer things to deal with when he usually waits?
And since Qinling came back, Peng Hui's mobile phone has not been interrupted, almost all of them are calls from Hebei, needless to say that eighty percent of these days, there are no fewer supernatural cases over there, but in order to solve the matter on my side first, Peng Hui simply handed over the case to Jiang Yuan to deal with.
Speaking of Jiang Yuan, this person gives me a good impression, he is a friend to make, although this person is a little obscene, but his heart is not bad, of course, I can't deny the fact that this product has indeed cheated me, okay, no matter what, from now on, I have to slowly learn to deal with these things by myself, and make myself stronger as soon as possible.
I don't hesitate anymore to understand the truth, and I have an idea after a little thought, if I'm not mistaken, this place does have the ability to make people lose their way, but I guess it's not a big problem to go back the same way, and in order to verify my guess, we simply practiced it, and sure enough, I walked back in less than two minutes and walked out, which means that this place is easy to come out of but it's difficult to get in.
In the end, I decided that it would be better to do the opposite, if I estimated that the fog would give us the illusion that we were walking straight but actually drew a big circle, so why not go a little to the right with the opposite side, so as to avoid a detour.
But in the end I thought about the problem simply, we used this method in the fog, groping forward for a full hour, and the result was still turned back to the original place, seeing that the time was almost about five o'clock in the afternoon, seeing that the sky was about to get dark for everyone's safety, I decided to withdraw first and wait for tomorrow, although there is a thick fog everywhere and can not distinguish a yin and yang, but the place is not clean is a fact, even if the fog is rushing to the sky here, but the yang energy between heaven and earth will more or less make those things jealous, and it will not come out in broad daylight to harm people, but once it is at night, the excess yin energy suppresses the yang energy, when the time comes, those ghosts and ghosts will not come out to harm you as a genius monster, and it will not be finished if you don't suck your yang energy alive.
This time, everyone's opinion is more unanimous is to go out and talk about it, but strange things happened again, we couldn't even get out, which was a big surprise to us, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, each of us was more and more anxious.
"Don't go. β
I shouted directly: "Fuck we can't get out." β
At this time, Peng Hui's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked me: "Xiao Xuan, your Lu family has been an expert in studying formation organs for generations, do you think this place can be a formation?"
"It's not!"
I said directly: "Actually, I also suspected at first that this might be a powerful Qimen formation, but after observation, I basically overturned this possibility, because I really can't see what kind of formation this looks like." β
Speaking of formation, it must be mentioned, our ancestors handed down the Qi Men Dun Jia, Qi Men Dun Jia is Qi Gate, Liuren, Taiyi three secret treasures of the first major secret technique, the first of the three types of the most rational law, known as the highest level of prediction of Huang Lao Taoism, known as the highest prediction of the emperor's art, its essence is a high-level astrophysics, revealing the role of the eight planets of the solar system and the earth's magnetic field, Qi refers to the three odds, namely B, C, D, the door refers to the eight doors that are opened, rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, surpriseγ
Dunjia refers to the first escape into the six instruments, namely E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. The ancient formation Zhuge Liang created the Eight Formations Diagram to absorb the permutations and combinations of Jingtian and Taoist Bagua, compatible with astronomy and geography, and created many miraculous formations, such as the most famous Eight Arrays.
Legend of the Eight Formations was created by Zhuge Liang, according to legend, Zhuge Liang was stacked into a stone formation with a chaotic stone when he resisted the enemy, and was divided into life, injury, rest, Du, Jing, death, surprise, and opened eight doors, and the changes can block 100,000 elite soldiers, but all the formations have magic weapons for arrays, but there is no magic weapon for placing a formation in this place at the moment.
In a hurry, I asked Qiu Dajun if he could find a way out, but the head of the goods shook like a rattle and said that he couldn't help it, so we had to continue to go forward, which was also a way to no choice, so we couldn't stay where we were!
Finally, when the sun completely set, the surroundings suddenly fell into boundless darkness, and then my heart was pulled up for no reason, and I scolded in my heart I fuck his grandma, this node is the time when the yin and yang between heaven and earth alternate, and the yin energy will slowly recover without yang energy to suppress the yin energy, and this place will not become a human prison at that time!
I forced my fear in my heart to take out the flashlight from my bag and turned on and continued to run, at this time the temperature around me was getting colder and colder, this is an unusual cold but cold, cold and cold, it feels like someone is taking a needle and pricking your flesh, anyway, I can't express it in words.
Perhaps in order to echo the current tense environment, without warning, suddenly there were ghost cries behind us one after another, this sound came so suddenly, our nerves were originally tense to the extreme, even if there was a little wind and grass, this and nerves would be completely broken.
Zhang Qian is a little better, although she is a woman, but she also came out of the Spiritual Bureau, judging from the calm look on her face, she has never been exposed to these before.
But Qiu Dajun is different! He is completely an ordinary person, although he has been a soldier, but in his bones, he is somewhat afraid of this kind of ghost and god thing, which is also human nature.
A big man was actually frightened to open his mouth mom and lay directly on the ground with a good hanging, shouting that there was a ghost and running crazy like crazy, I was also curious, so I looked back at it, it didn't matter if I was scared by the scene behind, I saw a large piece of black pressure behind me, and the evil ghost with an extremely hideous appearance was chasing us over.
To be honest, buddies have seen a lot of dirty things, but it's the first time I've seen it when the death is so hideous, and many of his mother's headless ghosts are headless, some have no feet and some have no arms, and the most disgusting thing is that there is only the upper half of the body below the waist, dragging a long section of intestines and internal organs, and I shiver all over my body when I see it! An inexplicable chill rises from the back of my heart, and the scene is so exciting.
At this time, Qiu Dajun and they were already running away, only I was still in a daze, seeing these ghosts immediately catch up, I was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and after reacting, I ran and guessed that these should be, the villagers in the abandoned village in the depths of the mountain, and I don't know how these villagers died, and what kind of treatment they endured when they died, the miserable image is really impossible to look at.
We ran three or four kilometers in a row, so people were tired and almost couldn't die, and one by one they gasped for breath, and then the speed slowed down, and at this time, Qiu Dajun, who was running at the front, suddenly said with some uncertainty: "There seems to be a temple ahead." β
Temple?
I asked with some doubts, "How can there be a temple in this place?"
Zhang Qian said: "Don't worry about this, go in and hide, the old lady really can't run." β
Then I consulted Penghui's opinion, Penghui didn't say much but nodded and agreed, although I have a lot of doubts in my heart, but it's not a joke at the moment, not to mention Penghui also agreed, and we went directly into the ancient temple at the moment.
As soon as I entered the main hall Qiu Dajun they closed the door, the moment the door closed instantly set off a lot of dust, it is obvious that no one has come here for too long, the dust on the ground is a thick layer, before I can catch my breath Penghui took out a lot of talismans, handed them to us and then asked us to put the talismans, respectively on all the doors and windows of the hall, is that each window has to be pasted, now we are busy, fortunately plus Qiu Dajun to help, we have enough manpower to paste it after a while, at this time the ghost screams outside became more and more intense, we looked at each other one by one, and saw the horror in each other's eyesγ
It took about more than ten minutes! The outside finally stopped a little, and I was able to spare time to observe the scene inside the main hall, which is a rectangular hall covering an area of about two or three hundred square meters, and the courtyard wall outside has basically collapsed, and the place where we are is is the main hall.
But what makes me feel strange is that the general temple hall is not for the Buddha or Guanyin, or the Three Holy Princes, but this is only a clay statue of the old man, this statue depicts the old man's face kindly, but no matter how I look at it, I don't see which one this is, to be honest, I think I know a lot about Buddhism, these Bodhisattvas and Arhats, but I have carefully looked for this one in my mind, could it be that it is a Taoist? Forget it or don't want to.
So in order to show respect and gratitude, I simply took out three incense sticks, lit them and bowed respectfully to the statue three times, and then inserted them into the incense burner in front of us.
And these incense are very popular with those dirty things, there are Taoist disciples in them who dare not do anything, but once no one is watching, those lonely souls and wild ghosts who have been pinning on these incense all day long live in like they are not crazy!
So in order to be safe and not cause trouble, I still expressed my kindness, and I put my mind at ease when I saw that there was nothing abnormal, and I went into the fire to warm up while discussing the next step, to be honest, this time it was an accident, from which we can draw a conclusion, that is, the only way to get through this foggy area is to act at night, although now I don't understand how this works, but these are no longer important.
"Rest here tonight!. β
Peng Hui proposed: "Although those things outside are not difficult to deal with, they are strong in numbers, even if they stand still and let us cut us at will, they can exhaust us, it is better to hide here for a night and wait for dawn tomorrow." β
I thought for a moment and said, "But I don't think those things outside will stop easily, and now they don't plan to attack us, but if they really go crazy, I can't hold this broken temple." β
Peng Hui nodded and said: "I can't rule out this possibility, but if it really comes to that time, we can only fight hard." β
I don't know what's going on, maybe I've never encountered such a thrilling and terrifying thing, Qiu Dajun is a little stupid now, sitting there motionless like a piece of wood, to be honest, I always have a feeling of pit him in my heart, after all, this is a fateful business, although Qiu Dajun has been a soldier and has fought a few unknown small wars, but in the final analysis, he is still an ordinary person, and I regret pulling an ordinary person in, not to mention that this person is not bad, good-hearted, happy-hearted, and has nothing to say.
I stepped forward and patted Qiu Dajun on the shoulder to show concern, Qiu Dajun came back to his senses and saw that it was me, and his face barely leaked a smile that was ugly than crying, and then asked me: "Those ...... outside"
I understood what he meant at the time, thought about it and said, "You can see it, they are not human." β
After receiving my reply, Qiu Dajun still seemed a little incredulous, stood up and walked towards the window, and looked out along the gap, perhaps to verify the truth of my words!
But after a while, I saw Qiu Dajun suddenly snort, and then a bizarre scene happened, seeing that he slowly turned around and walked directly towards the gate without saying a word, and then stretched out his hand and pulled the talisman on the door, which frightened us at this moment, and didn't care about anything to stop his stupid move.
I yelled even louder, "What are you doing Qiu Dajun! Crazy, aren't you?"
As a result, Qiu Dajun seemed to not understand me at all, and continued to move in his hands, and I could only go up to forcibly stop him, but this body belongs to the stronger kind, which is what I can fight against as a half-old descendant, so I basically didn't have any effect when I went up, but was hit by Qiu Dajun's arm to the chest, and pushed me two or three meters away.
At this time, the ghost screams outside were already calming down, and suddenly there was a tendency to become more and more intense, and there were many yellow talismans left on the gate at this time, if we continued to let him mess around, our situation would be dangerous.
At the same time, Zhang Qian was not idle, and he didn't know where to find a quick brick, and smashed the back of Qiu Dajun's head at once, only to hear a bang, Qiu Dajun fell to the ground and fell directly unconscious.
Before I could react, there was a loud clattering sound from the closed door, followed by a series of frantic slamming of the door outside, and I was shocked, and I thought to myself that they were still coming.
