Chapter 11: The Devil Strikes the Wall
This wild run has evaporated a lot of the wine in his body, and he has sobered up a lot.
Now it's nightfall, and there is a forest in front of me, and the woods are gray, which makes people feel very depressed.
Li Canghai took a few breaths, and then chased forward.
With this lifting of his foot, he found himself lost.
There was no road in this forest, and he had not paid attention to the route when he ran in before, but now it was gray all around, and it was even more difficult to discern the direction.
Just as Li Canghai was pondering which direction to go, countless fireballs rose from this forest.
Those fireballs were the size of fists, emitting a green glow, which looked extremely strange in this gloomy night.
Li Canghai pondered for a moment, but decided to take a look inside, hoping to find Di Qing's whereabouts.
He cautiously groped his way through the darkness, and soon came to the vicinity of the fireballs.
Through the dim green light of those fireballs, Li Canghai found that there seemed to be many undulating small dirt bags in this forest.
This made him very strange, this forest is not above the mountains, how can there be so many dirt bags of different heights?
He took out the fire fold and blew it hard.
I have to say that the fire fold is a very great invention in ancient China, and in this era when there are no matches, it is very convenient for Li Canghai to make a fire.
By the faint light of the fire fold, he finally saw the towering earthen bag in front of him, it was a dirt tomb!
And those green fires are actually ghost fires!
Li Canghai's scalp was a little numb, he was not a timid person, and he didn't pay attention to one or two graves at all.
But when he found himself surrounded by mounds, the feeling was different.
As far as the eye can see, the dense mounds are filled with countless ghost fires, even if there are no ghosts, but this weird atmosphere is enough to scare people to death.
Li Canghai naturally didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but fortunately, he knew the reason for the formation of those ghost fires, which reduced his psychological pressure a lot.
"This place is a mass grave, I'd better leave quickly."
Li Canghai found a few dead branches, tore off a piece of his clothes, made a torch, and walked forward with his feelings by the faint light of the fire.
Along the way, Li Canghai saw nothing but graves or graves, and he didn't know how many graves there were, and he hadn't even reached the end after walking for half an hour.
Li Canghai was tired of walking, and just about to rest, he suddenly found some burning dead branches on the ground, which made him dumbfounded at that time.
These dead branches were used to start the fire when he made the torches, how did they end up here?
He took a closer look around and made sure that this place was indeed where he had been.
Li Canghai had not woken up at this time, and although he felt strange in his heart, he only felt that he had lost his way and went back into the distance.
So, he sat for a while, and when he had sobered up, he determined a direction and went straight down.
This time, Li Canghai carefully wrote down the route he took.
However, when he stopped again, he found himself back to square one.
Only then did Li Canghai realize that he might have encountered a 'ghost hitting the wall'.
The ghost hitting the wall is not really encountering a ghost, but an illusion generated by the psychological impact of the environment, which Li Canghai knows very well.
There are many solutions to this weird thing, the simplest of which is to ask someone for directions.
However, there is not even a ghost in this wilderness, let alone people.
Li Canghai looked up at the sky, trying to find out the location of the North Star, as long as he determined a direction, he could get out of this grave.
However, the forest was shrouded in thick fog, and there was no starlight to be seen.
Li Canghai thought about it for a long time, and felt that he could only use the 'local methods' he had heard in his previous life.
So, he got a bamboo tube and sprinkled it with a bamboo tube full of urine.
According to the method he heard, he poured out some urine at every intersection and went to the left.
Li Canghai secretly played the drum in his heart, and he didn't know if this method would work, but fortunately, he was still a child, and he thought that the boy's urine could be used to ward off evil spirits, and it shouldn't be a problem to break the ghost and hit the wall.
After walking for another half an hour, Li Canghai returned to the bonfire he had lit again.
Li Canghai was completely dumbfounded, and secretly said in his heart, is there really a ghost in this world?
These ghosts won't let him out, so they probably want him to chat with them, right? I don't know if there are any female ghosts here, but if they look pretty, they'll admit it.
Li Canghai thought wildly in his mind, the night was dark and the wind was high, and he was in a cemetery, and only in this way could he relieve his nervousness.
Just thinking about whether he would meet a beautiful female ghost and have a realistic version of 'A Chinese Ghost Story', a white figure suddenly fell on the grave opposite.
"Oh, ghosts and ghosts, look at grandpa's 'pure yang liquid'!"
Li Canghai was tense, jumped up suddenly, yelled to give himself courage, and then raised the bamboo tube containing urine and was about to throw it over.
"Li Canghai, you can see clearly, it's me!"
The figure hurriedly spoke, and it turned out to be Di Qing's voice.
Di Qing jumped down from the grave, and by the light of the fire, Li Canghai could see clearly that it was really her.
"What does it smell like? It stinks! Di Qing leaned over to the fire and said in disgust.
Li Canghai smiled wryly, hurriedly threw the bamboo tube aside, and said, "This is a mass grave, it may be the smell of rotting corpses." ”
Di Qing leaned closer to Li Canghai and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"It's not that I'm afraid that you won't be able to deal with that ghost alone, so I followed." Li Canghai added a few dead branches to the fire, rolled his eyes and said, "Who knew that you would run so fast and cause me to be trapped here." ”
"By the way, you went to chase the ghost, did you catch it?" Li Canghai asked curiously.
I don't know if it's an illusion, he seems to see a trace of fear in Di Qing's eyes.
Li Canghai shook his head vigorously, and secretly said that he might be hallucinating, and this violent woman would also be afraid? Unscientific!
Di Qing shook her head, she looked at the firelight and said, "That shadow is extremely fast, I used all my strength, but I couldn't catch up, and then I was also trapped in this forest." Fortunately, I found the fire, so I followed the firelight. ”
"You can't even catch up? Could it be that the shadow is really a ghost? ”
Li Canghai and Di Qing talked nonsense about their respective experiences, and then based on the experiences of the two, Li Canghai made a judgment, that is, there are really ghosts!
"It's ...... Ghosts? ”
Li Canghai was talking about his thoughts endlessly, and suddenly found that Di Qing's body was trembling, and his eyes were full of fear.
"You're afraid of ghosts?" Li Canghai asked curiously.
Di Qingqiao's face turned blue and white, she bit her lip and nodded vigorously, as if she was really frightened.
Li Canghai touched his nose and said in his heart, it turns out that you also have something to be afraid of!
"Then why did you chase that ghost before?" Li Canghai asked in surprise.
Di Qing moved to Li Canghai's side, pouted and said, "I thought it was a snitch, but I didn't expect it to be a ...... Ghost. ”
By the light of the fire, Li Canghai suddenly found that Di Qing's face rose with a pitiful softness.
Thinking about it, Di Qing is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl after all, no matter how high her kung fu is, she will still have fear in the face of the unknown.
"Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world. Even if there is, we are not afraid. As long as he dares to come out, I will let him taste the power of 'pure yang liquid'!" ”
Li Canghai subconsciously hugged Di Qing in his arms, he was a kind of care out of instinct, and Di Qing did not beat him for the first time, but lay in his arms.
"What is 'pure yang liquid'?" Di Qing asked in a daze.
"Eh, pure yang liquid is a kind of divine water, which can exorcise ghosts and demons, you can sleep in peace!"
Li Canghai scratched his head in embarrassment, and casually said a reason that could make Di Qing feel at ease.
