Chapter 12: There is someone behind him
The Taoist priest talked eloquently, and when I saw that the more he talked, the more outrageous it became, so I stopped him, saying that you are not so damn alarmist here, within a radius of ten miles, if that thing is really so big, I am afraid that there will be no living people in this area for a long time. Besides, there is such a big thing nearby, will the villagers of Aji Village not notice it at all?
As soon as I said the question, the Taoist priest said with a smug smile: "Alas, you don't understand this!" The vamphivorous vine is an extremely rare plant that can communicate with the underworld, and must be parasitic on plants that can also communicate with the netherworld, such as the hanging corpse forest in Aji Village, haven't you noticed that the whole forest is full of old locust trees? ”
Hearing him say this, I found that this was really the case, and I couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and said that if it was really like that, we could really come out alive and be blessed by the gods!
"Shhh...... Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, isn't it! ”
Just as I was sighing, I suddenly heard the Taoist priest gasping for air, and my heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked him what was wrong?
Looking through the rearview mirror, I saw that the Taoist priest was looking out the window, and there was a look of disbelief in both eyes. I saw him swallow his saliva and ask in a trembling voice: "Didn't you notice that the mountains on that side are full of locust trees?" ”
Hearing this, I hurriedly looked in his direction, and sure enough, the whole section of undulating, endlessly endless mountains at a glance was full of old locust trees that were more than ten meters high. On the other side of the highway, there is no trace of locust trees at all, and a highway completely separates this mountainous area into two distinct areas.
This situation is extremely abnormal, and in Yunnan, especially in the remote area of Luogong, which straddles the Hengduan Mountains, it is almost impossible to plant the same tree on a large scale. The plant coverage rate of Yunnan and Guizhou is among the best in the country, rich in species, to plant a tree on a large scale in such a place, it is necessary to cut down all the original tree species in the mountainous area, and then spend a lot of manpower and material resources to plant, and must consider the adaptability of the planted species to the local environment, which is a thankless and completely impossible project.
Of course, it is not completely impossible, if the local residents began to consciously cut down the original trees from generation to generation and replace them with locust trees from generation to generation, then it would not be difficult to complete such a project after countless generations of efforts. Only, if that's the case, why would they do it?
"Daoist, Daoist, what do you think?" I looked at the mist of the locust forests, and I always felt that there was a ghostly atmosphere inside, and I couldn't help but think of the vamphire vines with dead bodies hanging in my mind.
The Taoist priest took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Opinion, what opinion?" That monster was fed by their own death, even if it is a disaster in the future, it has nothing to do with the poor road, they can only be regarded as deserving of it! Besides, even if you want to manage it, do you have the ability to manage it? If you don't make trouble for others, you will be Amitabha! ”
I didn't expect him to answer like this, and I couldn't help but joke: "Aren't you a Taoist priest, a Taoist master is a high-spirited person, how can you see death and not save it?" Aren't they all written in those novels, when the people are in danger, Taoist priests should take the lead, sacrifice themselves when necessary, and strive to be martyrs and heroes. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist priest immediately snorted: "Ahh Whoever is a Taoist must sacrifice himself for others, you are a feudal traditional thought, and now it is no longer popular, and now everyone is concerned about how to make money and make a lot of money. Dao Ye, I don't have any big ambitions, I just want to earn him 18 million, take a beautiful Taoist aunt to live a stable life, and nothing else! ”
His words amused me and Lin Qiao'er, and we didn't bother to talk to him anymore, but there is one thing that the Taoist priest said is right, that is, we are completely incapable of taking care of this matter. I'm just an ordinary reporter, all I can do is to disclose the matter of the vamphivorous vine and let more people know, maybe this can attract the attention of the relevant departments, and the state will come forward to be more useful than me, an ordinary person!
We were talking about the ghost vine, at this time Lin Qiaoer seemed to think of something, and hurriedly went to her backpack, I saw her take out her camera, so I asked her if she was going to take pictures, and if she wanted to stop.
"No, look at this!" Lin Qiaoer shook her head, and then brought up the photos in the camera for us to see. I was inconvenient to drive the car, so she gave the camera to the Taoist priest first.
Who knew that the taxi only glanced at it, and immediately hummed, as if he had seen something surprising. Seeing him like this, I also became curious, pulled over and pulled over the car, took the camera from his hand, and after just one glance, I immediately recognized that the picture had been taken by the grass pond outside the hanging corpse forest, and it was still the scene when I was about to go down into the forest, but there was nothing strange about it.
I looked at Lin Qiao'er suspiciously, and seeing that I didn't see the clue right away, she slowly enlarged the photo. As the image zoomed in, all I could see was the trunk of a locust tree and the mist around it, and in an instant, my pupils shrank suddenly, and the hairs on my body stood up.
I finally know why Lin Qiao'er wants to show me this picture, what the hell is on it, monster?
I saw that the bark of the magnified locust tree was densely covered with human faces, and even each human face had extremely terrifying and exaggerated expressions. Since the faces were the same color as the bark, the outlines of the bark coincided with the outlines of the faces, so that if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to find the clues on the trunk.
This photo makes me creepy not only here, in the fog near the tree trunk, there are also human faces, as if a real human face is covered with milky white gelatin, and the surrounding fog is completely blended together, without opening my eyes and staring all the time, I can't see that there is such a thing hidden in the fog.
I had goosebumps on my back, I slid the picture, and found that on every tree trunk in the photo, in every mist, there were human faces, and the most unacceptable thing for me was that the tree trunk I was holding on to when I was going downhill, the human face on it was still very humane and distorted, showing a very hideous expression, but I didn't feel anything at the time!
"You, tell me, what the fuck is this?" The faces on the screen were so terrifying that I didn't dare to look at the picture again, so I handed the camera to the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest took the camera and looked at it again, shaking his head to indicate that he didn't know. All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the car became silent, and I even felt that the part of my hand that touched the locust tree began to itch, and I knew that it was an illusion, but this feeling could not be removed.
Speaking of this, the Taoist priest seemed to think of something again, leaned into my ear and lowered his voice, and said: "Little layman, there is one more thing, the Taoist master told you, don't be afraid!" ”
At this time, my nerves were already tense, and he suddenly said something so mysteriously, and I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, and I hurriedly asked him to say it quickly!
The Taoist priest glanced at me, pointed behind me, and said in a low voice, "Behind you, there is something!" ”
"What?" I was so frightened that I almost jumped out of my seat, and he held me down, and I turned my head to look, only to find that there was nothing, and the sky was clear outside the window.
"Dead Daoist, are you fooling me?" My face was green, and I reached out to pinch him.
The Taoist priest deftly dodged away, and said to me with a serious face: "Little layman, don't worry, listen to me first!" ”
Immediately afterward, he asked me if I had heard a woman's scream when I was hoisted into the air by the vampire vine that day, and then escaped from the ghost vine.
Listening to him, I remembered the incident, and said yes, and I heard it more than once, and then told him what had happened on the night the car broke down, and what I had heard in the woods.
After listening, the Taoist priest took a sharp breath and said, "That's right! Behind you is the little sister named Aqing who died tragically in Ah Ji Village, and when she received the call that night, she should have died! ”
"What did you say?" I asked him in disbelief, and subconsciously turned my head to look behind me, and the result was naturally predictable.
"Don't look for it, you can't see her, the reason why Poor Dao can see it is because of the hard work of more than ten years of cultivation, cough cough, a mortal like you, unless you are born with yin and yang eyes, you can't see it!"
When the Taoist priest said this, his face was trembling, but my suspicion rose in my heart, so I asked him, "If you can see it, why are you saying it now?" ”
As soon as I asked, he immediately seemed a little confused, and I became even more skeptical. After asking for a long time, he confided the truth, saying that in fact, he was only half a bucket of water, although he had cultivated his spiritual eye, but he was not always in good spirits, and he had just seen a vague shadow following behind me, which reminded me.
"Is it really her?" I still can't believe it.
The Taoist priest nodded and said, "Eight or nine are not far from ten, but don't worry, since she saved you, she should just be on her mind, and she won't harm you. ”
When I saw that the Taoist priest was not like lying, I felt uneasy, and I always felt that there was a gust of wind blowing in my back. But I didn't believe it all, this dead Taoist priest doesn't know the origin, who knows if he wants to trap me.
With uneasiness, we continued on the road, I didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, and I even wanted to turn around and go home immediately, it belonged to the same place, who knew what kind of mess there would be in Fengyang.
But come to think of it, if I go back before the task is completed, the fat man at the newspaper will definitely take the opportunity to fire me.
Around four o'clock, the sky began to change, the sun hid in the dark clouds, and a faint mist began to rise in the mountains. After the experience of the burial forest in Aji Village, I am now particularly sensitive to the fog, and I always feel a little uncomfortable, plus the road behind is winding mountains, I have been driving very slowly, fortunately, at about six o'clock, we have seen the boundary monument of Fengyang Town.
