Chapter 45: Separation
Just as I ran into the range of Yeling in a panic, I turned to look at the fog again, only to find that all the fog had dissipated as if it had never appeared.
Are they all fantasies, we have been deceived?
When I think about it, it's really possible, and the current situation reminds me of the first time I entered Yeling in my childhood. At that time, it was precisely because I saw the countless fierce spirits rising on the grass beach that I was frightened to break into Yeling, but then I learned from the mouths of the other playmates on the grass beach that they also saw countless terrifying things at that time, but they were in Yeling behind me.
Now almost exactly the same thing happened again, only this time I didn't see what was in the fog, but now that I think about it, it is very likely that the fog is just as false as the ghosts of the past.
Thinking of this, I subconsciously wanted to go out, but found that it was pitch black all around, and the canopy was extremely dense, and the slightest moonlight could not penetrate it, and when I turned to look, I found that there was no grassy beach in the direction I had just entered.
Strange, how can this be?
Fortunately, I have experienced such a thing more than ten years ago, and the current situation is better than back then, at least I have grown up, although it is dark, but I just got a flashlight from the Taoist priest, and the most important thing is that I am not the only one who came in this time.
Thinking of the Taoist priest, I hurriedly turned on my flashlight and shone it around. The deep forest was silent, the light of the flashlight was not strong, and I couldn't shine too much, and after looking for a few circles, I felt bad, and I couldn't find the two of them around.
This can't be, the three of us didn't come in much apart, could it be that the two of them didn't care about me and went inside after they came in?
My heart hung up all of a sudden, I wasn't too scared when I entered here, because the Taoist priest and Sister Bailing were all by my side, but looking at the current situation, I seemed to have become a person again. Memories of the past came flooding back, and when I thought of all kinds of strange legends of Yeling, the pores on my body involuntarily shrank, and I felt an unprecedented chill.
Gotta find them now!
Thinking about it, I didn't stay, I shone a flashlight around, chose a slightly easier direction, and was just about to leave, when something fell out of the backpack behind me.
I didn't think much of it, I just thought I hadn't fastened the zipper in my hurry, turned around to look at the thing that had fallen to the ground, and when the flashlight hit the round skull, I almost screamed in fright.
But it soon occurred to me what it was, it was supposed to be Ran's bones in the backpack.
I took off the backpack and saw that it was so, but it wasn't that I didn't pull the zipper, but that there was an extra claw hole the size of a sea bowl on the backpack, and the edge of the claw hole was pitch black, as if it had been corroded, stained with some green mucus, quite disgusting, and Lan's bones leaked out of this place.
I was completely stunned when I saw this scene, and suddenly remembered the feeling of being scratched on my back when I entered Yeling just now, and cold sweat broke out. It seems that my previous guess was wrong, the fog was not an illusion, and there was indeed something terrifying in the fog, if it wasn't for the backpack and Lan's bones just now, I really can't imagine what things would have become.
Picking up the bones and putting them back in the bag, I was afraid for a while, no wonder the Taoist priest and Sister Bailing would rather enter Yeling than come into contact with the fog, damn it, what is that fog?
I untied the spare rope in my backpack and tightened the gap, not daring to stop any longer.
At that time, I was really scared enough, in fact, if I think about it carefully, the most correct thing for me to do at this time is not to go to the Taoist priests, but to look for those thousand-legged centipedes in the same place, find the centipede, enter the Yeling to go deep into the Yeling to find the whereabouts of the grandmother, and retreat can follow the centipede's crawl to leave the Yeling, but this person, is always easy to lose the ability to judge when nervous, and when I think of this, it is already more than half an hour later.
The trek through the jungle was difficult, and the half-hour trek had already left me panting like an ox, and this was in the direction I had chosen to walk. When I sat down to rest, I suddenly thought of the thousand-legged centipede Gu that I found outside Yeling, which was suspected to be left by my grandmother, and I immediately regretted it, I was really stupid.
I can't find a Taoist priest, and I can't find Sister Bailing, this is really damn bad!
It's been a tired day, and I've lost so much blood in vain just now, it's okay not to rest, but not long after I sat down, tiredness mixed with sleepiness immediately came up. I knew I couldn't sleep in it, I had learned about the weirdness of Yeling when I was very young, and who knew if something unspeakable would happen after I fell asleep?
But it's strange to say, before the Taoist priests came, I just stepped into Yeling for half a step, and immediately fell into the way, and now the whole person has come in, and after walking in it for so long, the curse on my arm didn't react at all.
Thinking about it, my heart moved, I lifted the sleeve of my right hand to look, and found that all the black lines were not abnormal, curled up quietly, although it still looked so hideous, but I was relieved. But the devil sent me to lift the sleeve of my left hand again, and after just one glance, I was taken aback to see the hateful Rakshasa grimace on my left arm as if it was alive, with green fangs and sharp eyes, as if he was laughing.
I was cold, and hurriedly lowered my sleeves, and said to myself, what is going on? The curse didn't react, why did this grimace live?
I really don't understand why all this mess is drilling into me, but luckily this grimace doesn't do any real harm, otherwise I would really be playing to death.
There were also some biscuits and water in the backpack, although it was a bit creepy to put them together with Lan's bones, but thinking that Lan didn't even want a chance to reincarnate in order to save me, I didn't think there was anything terrifying about these corpses.
I ate some, rested for a while, regained my strength, and began to go on looking for them.
The flashlight wasn't strong, but it stood out in the dark woods, and if they were near me, they would have seen the flashlight coming for me.
I don't know how long I walked, but the extreme tiredness and sleepiness made it very difficult for me to take every step forward. Just when I was thinking about whether to build a bonfire in the same place, get a good night's sleep, and wait until dawn to make plans, I suddenly felt a little cold in the back of my neck, and I heard a slight 'bang' sound, and then I felt a warm in my chest, as if something was burning.
Puzzled, I put my hand on my chest and pulled it out, but there was nothing, but when I stretched out my hand, I saw a lot of paper ashes stained on my hand. Now I'm even more confused, where did the paper ash come from?
In the blink of an eye, I suddenly remembered the evil talisman given by the Taoist priest during the day, wasn't it in the bag I carried on my chest?
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, and at this moment, a shadow suddenly flashed in front of the flashlight, I was startled, grabbed the flashlight and hurriedly shone around, but found nothing.
I began to panic in my heart, and the Taoist priest lived together for some time, in Chengdu during the leisure time I asked him a lot of Xuanmen things, this spirit rune ashes in two situations, can be big or small, one is that the spirit rune is a one-time, after being used because of the loss of spirituality, turned into ashes; The other is that the spirit rune itself is not powerful enough, and it is not invincible to external evils and exhausts its spiritual energy, and finally turns into useless ashes.
If it's the first one, it's good to say, but if it's the second, then the situation is not good, and the Taoist priest said that the evil talisman can be worn for life, because it can always protect the wearer from the invasion of external evils, but once the spirit talisman turns to ashes, it means that there is a powerful filth that has attacked the talisman holder, and the power of the evil talisman is not enough to get rid of this evil thing, then the talisman holder is dangerous, because the evil thing that attacks is powerful, and it is very likely to kill the talisman holder.
This talisman was given to me by the Taoist priest in the morning, and now this talisman has become paper ashes, doesn't it represent......
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the thought of staying was swept away, and I ran forward frantically.
And what made me feel chills in my heart was that I had not run far away, and there was a cold breath from the back of my neck. I suddenly thought of this cold feeling in the back of my neck when my chest burned just now, and I immediately understood what was going on, and hurriedly turned around to look.
The flashlight flashed by, but still nothing shone through, but the cold feeling on the back of my neck became stronger and stronger, and the hairs on my body exploded, and I vaguely felt that something was blowing on my neck.
I thought of the bronze mirror of the mountain ghost, the bronze mirror is psychic, and can illuminate evil spirits, I didn't think about taking out the bronze mirror from my pocket and shining it behind me, and suddenly my whole body was cold!
Under the reflection of the flashlight, I saw that in the bronze mirror, there was a terrifying monster with a huge head as big as a basin, but the body was only the size of a fist, lying on my shoulder, a black tongue stretched out like a poisonous snake, licking back and forth on my neck, and the black gas condensed like substance continued to drill into my body through that disgusting tongue.
I screamed in fright, and without thinking about it, I subconsciously grabbed it with my hands.
