Chapter 106: Whose ancestral grave smokes
Erhu had already choked on the smoke and lost consciousness again, so it was naturally impossible to answer him.
I was also surprised, the two tigers were caught from a hole to the bone cave, I thought we would climb along the tunnel to the hole, but I didn't expect it to lead to the coffin, it seems that the tunnel when the two tigers came in was not the one we walked.
Finally escaped, and there was only a grave left from the outside world, could it be that after struggling for so long, it was inevitable to die in the end? I'm unwilling, I'm really unwilling!
I smashed the top of the coffin frantically, and more and more smoke gathered into the coffin, and I was almost out of breath.
"You go out of the way, let me come!" The voice of the Taoist priest's scolding stunned me, I turned my head to look, and found that in the thick smoke, the Taoist priest's whole body seemed to have a faint red light, like a god. I couldn't see his face clearly in the thick fog, but I could feel that he seemed to be a different person at this moment, especially the red light, which was so mysterious.
As soon as the Taoist priest's voice stopped, he had already smashed it with his fist, bang, bang, bang......
A dull and huge muffled sound sounded in the coffin, sawdust splashed, and every punch of the Taoist priest seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties, and the momentum was so strong that the entire coffin top was smashed and shaken. This scene made me chill in my heart, I know that the Taoist priest is powerful, but now the terrifying power he shows has exceeded the limit of manpower, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with divine power, you must know that in addition to nails nailed on the coffin, there are also tons of dirt pressed!
Soon, the efforts of the Taoist priest bore fruit, the tomb was not opened, and the coffin board was worn. A large amount of earth debris and broken wood fell, but we still did not see the light of day, the grave must have been some years, and the earth that covered the coffin had been cemented together and became a hard lump, and there was not much earth that had fallen.
The Taoist priest did not stop and continued to smash the mud on the coffin, finally penetrating the grave before the air inside the coffin ran out.
The soft and bright light poured down, and the long-lost light moved me to tears, and the Taoist priest took the lead in getting out, and as soon as he climbed out of the grave, he raised his long howl: "Wahaha, the immeasurable Tianzun of your uncle, the poor Dao is finally alive again!" ”
I breathed hard the slightly humid air outside, replaced the smoke that had been inhaled into my lungs, and didn't care about any taboos or not, and lay down in front of this grave that we had dug open, looking at the sky that was mostly obscured by the shade of the trees, and suddenly felt that everything became unreal.
I lay down in a daze for more than ten minutes, and the Taoist priest also howled for more than ten minutes, thanking all the Taoist gods who could be named, and then crying happily with a handful of snot and tears, and repented of all the bad things he had done in his life. If I didn't want to do anything at the moment, I wouldn't want to do anything, otherwise I would definitely have to use my phone to record what he said so that I could use it to coerce him in the future.
Ten minutes later, Erhu's coughing woke me up from that godless state, and I remembered that Erhu was seriously injured, and I had fainted from the smoke just now, and I didn't even pay attention to him, and my heart suddenly swelled with strong remorse.
"Erhu, how are you, does it matter?" I picked up Erhu and asked the Taoist priest for water to feed him, and after he exhaled a few mouthfuls of turbid air, he eased up and said it didn't matter.
I helped him sit down against a cedar tree around the tomb, and then I remembered the situation in the tomb and hurriedly stepped forward to see the situation.
The smoke was billowing and almost forming a pillar of smoke, but there was no fire, and the mound was already in disrepair and was almost a bag of earth, so it was not high, but the smoke was too thick to look into.
Looking at the smoke, I wondered, so I asked the priest, "Eh, you said that we only have a few clothes, how can we make such a big move?" ”
The Taoist priest looked at the smoke, shook his head and said, "It's not clothes, it should be the fire that burned something, otherwise there would be no such a large amount of smoke." ”
I was shocked, remembering that the Taoist priest had burned the entire sinkhole with a fire before, and now there should be no big disaster, if the ground is really burning, then it will be the end of the calf.
"Hehe, reporter, look, isn't it a bit awesome where the smoke rises!"
I was worried in my heart, but I didn't think that the Taoist priest would come up with such a sentence without a beginning, I was very puzzled, frowned and asked him how to say this.
The Taoist priest pointed to the tomb bag with great interest and said, "Immeasurable Tianzun, haven't you heard of the green smoke coming from the ancestral tomb?" ”
I was stunned, and when I turned my head to see that the smoke was rising from the grave, it was really like that, but it was not green smoke, but black smoke.
"Don't talk about these nonsense, do you think it will burn down there, and then the ground will also burn?" I asked, a little worried.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible, the place where you burn your clothes is five or six meters from the ground, at least five or six meters from the ground, at this height, even if you really set the roots on fire, such a thick layer of soil, it is impossible to affect the ground when you break through the sky."
I nodded, the Taoist priest's words were very reasonable, I was too nervous just now, otherwise it would be impossible not to think of this.
Compared with my unfounded worries, the Taoist priest's focus was more practical, he walked around, frowned and muttered, "Strange, this doesn't seem to be the ghost forest!" ”
I also found out what the Taoist priest said, all the weird demon trees growing in Yeling, and most of the surrounding ones are cedar trees, and I didn't see any of the demon trees with human faces. The cedar trees in my hometown belong to economic forests, which were not originally there, and were all planted artificially later. Near the village settlements, the mountain people burn the native miscellaneous trees and replace them with cedar trees to supplement their families, so as long as they find cedar forests in their hometowns, they will not be far from people.
Besides, there is a grave here, so it is even more unlikely to be Yeling, which is a forbidden place that the mountain people have feared for generations, and no one will bury the grave in it when they are full. In other words, not only have we escaped from the sinkhole, but we have already left Yeling, and it is possible that there are villages around us.
This is really great news, I told the Taoist priest about this, he was also very happy, originally thought that it would take some effort to leave Yeling, but he did not expect to get into a rat pit, and he escaped directly.
But I didn't wait long to be happy, I started to worry, we escaped from Yeling like this, but what about Sister Bailing, how is she, will she still be trapped in Yeling?
The Taoist priest saw what was on my mind and comforted: "Don't worry, Bailing's ability is no less than that of Daoye, since your grandmother can come out of the forest safe and sound, Bailing girl will definitely be able to, after all, she is also your grandmother's heir." ”
I nodded, agreeing with the Taoist priest's words, no matter what, the most important thing at the moment should be to rush back to the village and find a way to figure out the situation, as long as we can rescue grandma and them, even if Sister Bailing is still trapped in Yeling, we can organize people to rescue them.
After determining the goal of action, we no longer stayed, the Taoist priest carried the second tiger, the third was seriously injured in the cave, and his body was full of blood holes, I naturally couldn't let it camel me again, and the three people and a dog began to look for a way out of the mountain.
I was still a little worried about the smoking grave, but the Taoist priest said that I didn't need to worry about it, and that it would stop after it burned itself for a while.
……
With the second child by our side, we quickly found the traces left by the mountain people, and along these traces, it didn't take long for us to find our way out of the mountain.
When we entered the mountain, we walked through the valley at the east end of the village, but when we came out, we had already gone around to the westernmost end, that is, the winding mountain road that had been built in and out of the village, which was also close to the mountains and rivers, but the low area adjacent to the mountains and forests was opened up into farmland.
We were walking in a very close direction to the place where the second tiger had been attacked, and he warned us to watch out for our feet, especially the bushes and holes, which were likely hiding rhizomes ready to hunt.
The journey was safe and sound, and after leaving the forest, the time was already four o'clock in the afternoon. The weather was gloomy, and although it was only four o'clock, the sky was very gloomy, and it looked like evening, and there was a feeling of oppression.
The fields were covered with a thick fog, and the village was completely obscured, and even the outline could not be distinguished. After listening to Erhu's previous narration, looking at these fogs at this time, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, but the strange thing was that Erhu said that the fog had chased them to the depths of the forest, and the fog at this moment only shrouded the fields and villages in front of the forest.
Erhu was also a little puzzled, but he still reminded us loudly: "Xiaoyi, Dao Chief, you must be careful, the fog is terrible, it really can't work, let's bypass this place, walk from the river, and go to the town to call the police first." ”
I don't say anything about Erhu's words, and I don't want to say whether it is useful to call the police, and the time it takes to just get around this field is beyond our reach. The injury of the second tiger, our tired body can not be delayed for a long time.
The Taoist priest also did not agree with Erhu's suggestion, he thought about it, and finally decided to try the weirdness of the fog first. The Taoist priest has many methods that I have never seen before, take the one in front of me, he can use a pile of leaves to weave an ox and make it move, this magical scene surprised and envied me, and I wanted to worship him as a teacher immediately. The Taoist priest was very proud and told me that this was a little trick to transfer souls and control things, and the calf's body carried a part of his soul and could share perception.
We stopped more than ten meters away from the fog, the Taoist priest controlled the calf to sway into the fog, we all subconsciously held our breath, ready to run away at any time, but after the calf entered, nothing happened, we could still see the calf made of leaves swaying slowly disappearing in the fog.
