Chapter 44: Forced into the Forbidden Land
The words of the Taoist priest were like a thunderbolt exploding in my brain, and my heart said yes, if you want to say something suspicious, the third uncle who suddenly appeared is the most suspicious, if it wasn't for someone to follow him, why did he find Sister Bailing and the Taoist priest so accurately?
I'm cold, if the third uncle they met is fake, then everything can be explained, and everything that the fake third uncle said is not credible. What Heavenly Witch Sect controlled the village, and grandma was trapped in the ancestral hall, it was all a lie. But if this is the truth, then isn't grandma still in the depths of Yeling at the moment?
For a moment, I felt a little messed up in my mind, and suddenly I had the feeling of watching a suspense movie.
It wasn't just me who thought of this, Sister Bailing also stared at the Taoist priest in disbelief.
"Ahem! Dao Ye This is just a guess, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, this kind of guess is also problematic. You think, I don't have much contact with your third uncle, but Sister Bailing won't be unfamiliar with your third uncle, right? But in the morning, even she didn't find out that something was wrong, and your third uncle knows a lot about things here, if it's fake, it shouldn't be possible to talk to us so much, after all, the more you talk, the greater the risk of exposure. ”
As soon as the Taoist priest's voice fell, Sister Bailing immediately answered with a solemn face: "What you said is not true. ”
The Taoist priest's analysis is very reasonable, I don't know why Sister Bailing said this, so I asked her: "What the Taoist priest said is right, although the third uncle doesn't go home often, but Sister Bailing, haven't you been the most familiar with the third uncle since you were a child?" If that person is fake, you should be able to tell it in no time! ”
Sister Bailing shook her head and said, "If it is usual, what you said is fine, but when your third uncle appeared during the day, it was the most dangerous time, and this Taoist priest was about to die, so I was in a hurry to drag him out, so I didn't pay much attention." Because at the beginning, it was confirmed that he was your third uncle, so he paid too much attention later, and what he said has always guided our attention, and our spirit is on what he narrates, if he is true or false, he may have taken advantage of this loophole. ”
As soon as Sister Bailing finished speaking, I understood what she meant, most of people's thinking has a fixed formula, to put it simply, as long as you think that something is something you are usually familiar with at the beginning, then your subconscious will always regard this thing as something you are familiar with in your cognition, as long as it does not change too much, you will basically not doubt it.
If the third uncle they met during the day was really fake, then he must have taken advantage of the blind spot of the mindset, Sister Bailing is very familiar with the third uncle, so as long as Sister Bailing thinks that this is the third uncle she knows at the first time they meet, then as long as the fake third uncle shows too many flaws, Sister Bailing will not be suspicious.
For Taoist priests, Sister Bailing is the person who is most familiar with the third uncle, and Sister Bailing treats the fake third uncle as the real third uncle, with his rough character, he is naturally more lazy to observe whether the third uncle is real.
If that's the case, things are a little scary, who is the person pretending to be the fake third uncle? Did the Heavenly Witch Cult really attack the village? How is the third uncle?
Countless questions lingered in our minds, and we stopped talking. The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn, and the idea of going back became wavering.
Regardless of the strangeness, we are facing three situations at the moment: first, the third uncle they met by the Taoist priest is true, and what he said is also true, only these traces in front of us are fake, and they are deliberately forged by the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect. If this is the case, the people who set up false traces to lead me into Yeling must expect me to go in, and then something may happen in their favor, then we must flee immediately at this moment, without a moment's delay, because no one knows if there will be ambushes from the Heavenly Witch Sect around.
In the second case, these traces in front of him are indeed left by his grandmother, and the third uncle is also real, but what the third uncle saw after entering the village was an illusion set up by others. If this is the case, the grandma that the third uncle met must not be a grandma, the real grandma is now in the depths of Yeling, according to the various traces in front of her, grandma must be trapped inside, and the fake grandma desperately hopes that the third uncle will find me back, the purpose is to prevent me from entering Yeling to find grandma.
If this is the case, we will fall into a trap when we go back, not only will my grandmother die, but maybe someone has already set a trap waiting for us on the way back, so we must go to Yeling immediately to save people.
In the third case, the third uncle is fake, and the situation in the village is all a lie made up by him. If this is the case, it will be a bit bad, because we can't tell how true or false the false third uncle's words are, and we have no way of knowing the situation in the village, but the purpose of what he said was to lure us back, indicating that he still didn't want me to enter Yeling. As the old saying goes, don't do what your enemies want you to do, then we should go into Yeling.
I analyzed the current situation and consulted the Taoist priest and Sister Bailing.
The Taoist priest thought for a while, looked at me, and then looked at Yeling who was shrouded in a faint mist behind him, and said: "Otherwise, let's go back first, there are only three of us now, and the force is too small to encounter danger, it is easy to capsize, no matter what the situation is at the moment, wait until you find your third uncle or others, and then it is not too late to find a way." ”
Sister Bai Ling also recognized the Taoist priest's suggestion, "He said it well, put aside everything else, have you forgotten what happened just now?" There's no second spirit to help you transfer the spell right now. ”
This is true, even if I have many reasons, but the curse is a bomb! Just one foot in just now, it triggered a terrible evil curse, if Lan hadn't given up his life to save me, I was afraid that I would have hardened.
Looking at the sacrifices and insect corpses on the ground, I sighed and made up my mind to leave.
Now that we have made a decision, we will not delay any longer, my backpack contains Lan's bones, which naturally cannot be left behind, maybe these bones will have other effects on Lan.
After sorting out our things, we quickly headed in the direction we had come.
At this time, the night was getting thicker, and the white moonlight was shrouded in a thick layer of black clouds when we made up our minds to leave, and the light was weak, and the barren grass beach and the surrounding trees under the night seemed hazy, as if covered with a faint layer of thin smoke that could not be discerned by the naked eye, and as if our eyes were covered with a circle of mist, in short, everything became misty and seemed so unreal.
This feeling is very bad, and the Taoist priests have obviously noticed a change in their vision, and their pace has unconsciously accelerated. We have not yet left this wide barren grassy beach, there is no wind in all directions, the grass and trees are all stopped, and the huge mountain forest cannot hear a single movement, and it is a little frighteningly quiet.
In the knee-deep weedy beach, the rustle of three people stumbling through the grass was endless, becoming the only sound in this mountain, and listening to this sound made me feel an ominous feeling in my heart.
The Taoist priest and Sister Bailing walked faster and faster, and I felt that my legs were a little weak because of the blood loss just now, and I couldn't keep up slowly.
Just as I was gasping for breath and about to call the Taoist priest to wait for me, the Taoist priest who was walking in front suddenly stopped. At this time, we had reached the edge of the grassy beach, and I wondered why the Taoist priest stopped, and I saw that Sister Bailing, who was following the Taoist priest, suddenly stopped as well.
I was just about to ask what was wrong, when I noticed that the Taoist priest's feet began to retreat, and at the same time his hand kept waving back, as if to tell us to go back.
Now I was even more puzzled, but I didn't expect Sister Bailing to also start retreating, just as I was about to step forward to take a look, the Taoist priest and Sister Bailing suddenly turned around and ran, the Taoist priest even the warm color was ugly, seeing that I was still in a daze, he immediately scolded: "Damn, what are you in a daze, hurry up and run." ”
I was only less than five or six meters away from them, and the moment the Taoist priest's words fell, the people had already arrived at my side, and they picked me up and ran back.
The moment I turned around, my eyes swept to the shadows of the trees outside the grassy beach, as if something was coming quickly towards me.
Before I could see clearly, the Taoist priest had already dragged me out with him. At this time, I felt an extremely ominous feeling in my heart, but I was dragged by the Taoist priest and ran wildly, and I didn't have a chance to turn my head to look, and the three of them ran wildly all the way until there was no road ahead, and only stopped when they were about to enter Yeling a few meters ahead.
"I,, what's wrong?"
I gasped and asked, and before they could answer, I could see what was going on.
I saw a strange white mist spreading out from the shade of the trees around the barren grass beach, and although I couldn't see what was in the thick fog, I could hear the sound of countless weeds stumbling through the mist. The sound was exactly the same as the rustle we had just heard when we broke through the grass, except that the sound was now extremely noisy, coming from all directions, densely packed.
"Daoist, what is this?"
The fog was slowly approaching, and I got goosebumps all over my body as I listened to the noisy rustling sounds.
The Taoist priest was sweating profusely, staring at the mist and saying with an ugly face: "Little reporter, Bailing girl, it seems that some people don't want us to go back like this, this Yeling, we can't go in if we don't enter." ”
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, turned around and strode into the deep darkness.
The Taoist priest's movements were extremely fast, and he had already gone in as soon as he finished speaking, I was not prepared at all, and I just wanted to ask Sister Bailing, but I saw that her face also showed a decisive look.
Damn, shouldn't Sister Bailing be ready to go in too?
At this moment, the fog surrounded by both sides was close to us less than ten meters, except for the rustle of those tripped over the grass, there was a kind of hissing sound in the fog, as if the sound of people gritting their teeth and exhaling, but the exhalation sound was endless, only the exhalation sound could be heard, but the inhalation sound could not be heard, if it was a person, it would have been suffocated to death.
The sense of ominousness became stronger and stronger, and almost at the same time, Sister Bailing patted me and said with a solemn expression: "Come in with me!" ”
After saying that, as soon as she took a step, she actually went in too.
The fog was already only two or three meters away from me, and I was still hesitating, but in the fog, I suddenly remembered countless sharp and deadly screams, this kind of sound I had heard before, outside the ghost school in Fengyang. Almost at the same time, the myriad writhing shadows in the mist grew bigger and bigger, and seemed to rush towards me, and I was so frightened that I could no longer hesitate to rush into the dark depths of Yeling.
Even so, I felt something scratch on my back.
