Chapter 52: Confusing
"In that case, then why are you doing it? She's also a kind person, and you saw it in the morning, her father was so sad! I said with a long sigh.
Lan's expression didn't change much, and after staring at me for a while, she suddenly said, "If I don't occupy her body, I'll disappear!" ”
I was taken aback by what she said, and I hurriedly asked, "Disappear?" How so, haven't you been fine for more than a hundred years? ”
Lan looked at me with a wry smile on her face, and said in a sad tone: "Because I let you take away my bone body, the reason why I have been able to wander in the yang world for more than a hundred years is that my bone body is still there, which is equivalent to my body; The second is because the mountains here have chosen me, and the power of the mountain gods has continuously nourished and strengthened my spiritual body, so I can always live carefree in the mountains. Now, the mountains here have given up on me. ”
"What do you mean by giving up on you? Mountain God... Don't want you anymore? ”
As soon as the words came out, I felt awkward, how could I say it as if Lan had dumped someone.
Sure enough, Lan also heard the fault in these words, glanced at me, and then said with some grievances: "It's not all because of you!" ”
I was stunned, puzzled, and asked, "Because of me?" ”
Lan nodded slightly, hummed the doctor, and said: "Because you took people out of the 100,000 mountains, and for a period of time they were separated from the whole world, and the mountain gods here died out of me, so I gave up on me and chose her to become the next mountain spirit." ”
Hearing her say this, I suddenly realized, and patted my head, "Oh, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, so if I hadn't taken you away at that time, He Xiaoyi wouldn't have disappeared?" Won't you be given up either? ”
Lan nodded and said, "I'm afraid so!" ”
I sighed, thought about it, and then asked, "Since it was a misunderstanding, and now that you are back here, can you communicate with the mountain god?" ”
"No way!" Lan immediately shook his head, without the slightest thought.
She said: "I have been wandering here for more than 100 years, and I have never seen a mountain god, and I don't even know if it exists. Although the mountain god chose me, it was not what he told me personally, but what I felt from every flower, tree, and rock here over the years, because everything here recognized me, and I could always feel the power of the gift from the mountain. So, I can't communicate with it! ”
After hearing this, I also felt that my head was big for a while, and suddenly I remembered something, and hurriedly said to her: "Wait, you just said that the premise of your existence in this world, one is a bone body, and the other is the identity of a mountain ghost." Does this mean that as long as you get your bones back, you can still stay in this world even if you leave this body? ”
Lan saw my excitement, his eyes darkened, but he quickly returned to normal, and said to me: "I know what you mean, don't think about it, when you buried me, the obsession that remained in the bones before my death had already dissipated, and the bones and bodies also dissipated at that time!" ”
I was stunned for a long time before I muttered, "How can this be?" ”
"Ah...... Reporter! Lan called me suddenly, and because I was distracted, I didn't notice her temporary change of title, but I answered absentmindedly.
After a little hesitation, she suddenly asked me a very strange question: "Reporter, do you know Sanmiao Xianzhai?" ”
I repeated the name, making sure I had never heard of this place, so I shook my head: "Haven't heard of it, what's wrong, what's wrong with this place?" ”
"No, no, I'm just asking!" After hearing my answer, Lan breathed a long sigh of relief, and her mood was much better.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt her!" Lan Chong showed me a very bright smile, and then said, "I'm just borrowing her body temporarily, and when the time comes, I'll give it back to her!" ”
I don't know why, when I heard her words, my heart seemed to be pinched by something, and I asked with some worry: "I gave it back to her, then you ......"
Lan stood up, gagged my mouth with his fingers, and grinned: "Don't worry, by that time, I'll be fine, but before that, I need to be alone for a while!" ”
"Leave... Where to? I pulled her fingers away, a little anxious!
"Go do something very important!"
"Then I'll go with you, you are not familiar with life alone, and now it is different from before, I can take care of you!"
I blurted out almost reflexively, Lan looked at me in some surprise, his mouth curled, and said with some amusement: "You really don't know anything when people do, don't worry, I have the memory of this body, and no one else can interfere in this matter, you just need to promise me a request!" ”
Although she always had a gentle smile on her face, her words were categorical, and she had obviously made up her mind.
I sighed, "Say it!" ”
Seeing that I had agreed, Lan smiled slightly, suddenly leaned over to my ear, and said a word in a breath, the warm breath teased my ears, itchy, making me have an indescribable strange feeling, if I hadn't already known that Lan was my grandfather, I was afraid that I would have misunderstood something.
After Lan finished speaking, although I thought her request was a little strange, I still readily agreed, and Lan gave me a hug and left that night.
In the bedroom, I lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ground, but all I was thinking about was He Xiaoyi... No, it should be Ran's figure. The words she had just said to me were a bit strange, especially the final request, which made me scratch my head.
She asked me to find an ancient Miao village, she didn't know the specific location of this Miao village, only knew that its name was Sanmiao Xianzhai, and also said that as long as I could find this village, she would be able to get away from He Xiaoyi. But on the other hand, she won't come to me again until I find Sanmiao Xianzhai, and I can't find her!
In my opinion, this request is not a difficult matter, first, the village she said is a Miao village, and grandma knows these things best, even if grandma does not know, we have enough time to find it after that, so I am not very worried. Old friends Chinese network
Second, it's also my selfishness, no matter which one of Lan or He Xiaoyi disappears, it's not what I want to see, and now Lan has given me a hope, even if it's fake, for this selfishness, I have to believe that it's true.
Maybe I was still deceived by her eyes, compared to the Lan I first met, she did change a lot, not the kind of change that the Taoist priest and grandmother thought, but ...... It seems to have changed its character!
This is the feeling in my heart at this moment, but Lan is gone, and it is too late to regret it at this time, and now I can only take one step at a time.
The threat of the curse and the ghost have been solved for the time being, Lin Qiao'er has also returned to normal, although the matter between He Xiaoyi and Lan is not perfect, but it is not a bad ending. Just when I was full of joy and thought that I could finally live a peaceful life, something terrible and desperate happened.
On the evening of the second day after Lan left, the creepy uneasiness at the Mountain Ghost Festival crept into my heart again, and the old turtle, who had already regarded the third child's back as his home, also stretched his neck in horror and looked around, shouting that it was coming, it was coming......
Grandma had a gloomy face, and while instructing the fourth uncle to go to the village elder uncle to transfer the villagers, she asked me to return to the grave space again.
That night, the strange fog descended again, swept over the village, and then dispersed the next morning.
This time, due to the timely response of the grandmother, although there were no casualties, the fog cleared and left countless terrifying traces. Outside the house, on the courtyard wall, on the road, you can see black marks everywhere, like the marks left by something that has been burned.
These marks are strange and come in a variety of postures, from human figures in various postures to livestock and animals, as well as many mudras. The most terrifying thing is that these marks are not dead, once the breath of a living person touches them, these black shadows will immediately 'come to life', turn into something similar to a ghost, and will also attack people.
Fortunately, after the resurrection of these monsters, as soon as they encounter the sun, they will be burned to ashes, under the advice of grandma, the villagers take advantage of the daylight, all the 'traces' in the village are resurrected, and the sun is used to remove them all.
Although there were no casualties in this incident, it was attacked by the white fog twice in a row, and the people in the village were already panicked, rumors went viral, and some people were even ready to move out of Dingyan Village.
According to the Taoist priest, the Yin Spirit Passage should be random, and it is rare to encounter it in a thousand years, but now it has appeared in the village twice in a row in just one week, which can no longer be described as a coincidence.
I don't feel sick either, I always feel like the fog is coming at me.
After that, two more days passed, and Lin Qiao'er woke up, but the terrible fog came again on this day.
This time the situation was very vicious, because we did not notice the slightest warning beforehand, and it appeared so suddenly, and it appeared in the mountains and forests behind my grandmother's house.
This convinced me that the target of the fog was me, and it was too late to organize the transfer of the villagers, so I gritted my teeth and simply rushed out of the house and ran out in the direction of no people.
Actually, I didn't know the bottom of my heart, but soon I found that when the direction of the fog spread changed with my movement, I was in pain and ecstasy and at the same time a little hairy on my back, and my heart said that this fog really appeared because of me, damn it, this is going to kill me!
I ran all the way, until I led the mist to the town spirit monument, and just as I was about to use the old way to avoid the pursuit of the mist, I suddenly remembered something, and a cold sweat instantly flowed down.
I realized that I couldn't open the passage to the graveyard space at all, because I didn't have ice silkworms.
By the time I realized this, it was too late, the fog spread very wide and at an astonishing speed, and by the time I paused, it had already caught up.
Before I could react, my eyes were obscured by white, and the noisy, strange echo instantly rushed into my mind, as if there was a kind of magic that was trying to pull me into another ethereal world.
I've experienced this psychedelic feeling a lot in Toast, and I already have a certain amount of resistance, and a scale hanging on my chest also glows with blue crystal, helping me resist the magic in my body, which was given to me by the mermaid princess Qing'er.
Even so, my consciousness became more and more blurred, and I felt that I was disconnecting from the world a little bit, and almost half of my body was pulled into a dark and eerie world.
The bad situation was much worse than that, and while I was concentrating on resisting the magic, countless faces with different expressions suddenly appeared in the thick mist, all of which were condensed by the mist, and merged with the mist, which was very difficult to detect, and pounced on me, letting out a cry of excitement.
I had no time to distract, I could only wave the apocalypse to block it by feeling, but those white faces were not afraid of the apocalypse at all, although some were blocked, but more of them were attached to me, and they were bitten together, the pain was almost the same as the pain when the curse of Doom occurred, my consciousness could no longer hold on, and it collapsed in an instant, all the pictures disappeared, and the whole world was left with darkness with no end in sight.
I stared blankly open at the infinite darkness in front of me, my body was numb, and the water was flowing beneath me, cold and cold, slowly carrying me in an unknown direction.
In this space, I couldn't see anything, and I don't know how long I had been drifting, but finally there was a glimmer of light in front of me, it was a crack in the opening of a huge door to the sky, and the water below me carried me, little by little, to the crack of the door.
Just as I floated in front of the crack in the door, and the next moment I was about to pass through the crack in the door, there was a rumbling roar all around, and it was the huge door, which was closing little by little.
At the same time, the water flowing towards the crack in the door suddenly turned, and took me around the huge gate, and at the end of the direction of the current, a huge whirlpool with gray light appeared, like a huge mouth waiting for its prey, and the water carried me into the whirlpool little by little.
An unprecedented fear came over me, a fear worse than death, and I began to struggle with my strength, thrust my apocalypse into the nearby mountain wall, clasped my fingers on the rocks, and desperately climbed out in the opposite direction of the whirlpool.
Perhaps it was my desire to survive that moved the gods, and the path back became clearer and brighter, and then a hand reached out to me from the end of the light.
I grabbed it without hesitation, and as soon as I pulled it, I felt a lightness all over my body, and immediately appeared in a cloud of mist, surrounded by the sound of rushing water, everything was so familiar.
I sat up abruptly, and when I looked around me, I was shocked.
I saw that there was a boundless mist around me, but it was not the mist of the Yin Spirit Corridor next to the Spirit Monument in Dingyan Village, but the demon lake in the nightmare that I couldn't be more familiar with.
