Chapter Forty-Eight: Hooking the Soul
"yes, everybody's waiting here, don't they know?"
Zhang Wenshu said a little anxiously, her eyes looking at the dark place from time to time.
"I think we'll have to be patient and wait."
I also said this after thinking about it.
The wind blew, and the smoke from the fire drifted everywhere from time to time, and the smell was a little choking.
After a while, the light of a flashlight began to shake in the distance, rushing towards us.
"Look, are they back?"
I pointed there, and everyone looked at it together.
Sure enough, something seemed to be coming in the distance, and the white flashlight was extremely conspicuous in the dark mountains.
Flickering and flickering, it is getting closer and closer.
"It does look like the two of them."
I spoke.
In this way, two figures slowly appeared, it was them!
After getting closer, I found that Liu Meng's eyes were already moist, the corners of his eyes were red, and he obviously cried a lot.
As for Zhang Qiang, who was with him, he looked at us with a sad face, wanting to say something, but he stopped talking.
Needless to say, several people know the result, just watch the two of them come back.
Just seemed to be unwilling to believe it or something, Zhang Wenshu continued to ask:
"How are you guys, have you found Xu Yi?"
Hearing Zhang Wenshu's question, Liu Meng's tears flowed down instantly, and the crying continued.
Zhang Qiang sighed and said:
I didn't find it, and I don't know where he ran to."
Immediately, as if he had thought of something, he said:
"This boy is a prankster, and if I knew he was playing pranks, I would have to skin him."
The tone was full of resentment, but we all knew that this was just Zhang Qiang's words to comfort everyone.
It's been more than an hour, and no one knows where the people have gone.
In short, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten I am lost, but it doesn't make sense, and I can't say if there will be some accidents.
"What are we going to do now? Where did Xu Yi go, Xu Yi! ”
Liu Meng asked crying, and shouted loudly in the valley Xu Yi, and then hugged his head with both hands and squatted down and began to cry constantly.
This scene, the people around me were very uncomfortable, Zhang Wenshu and I squatted down and constantly comforted her.
But what could she listen to now? It's all in vain.
"I can only call the police for this."
Chen Dong was the first to speak, his face solemn.
"However, the police will not care if they have been missing for less than 24 hours."
Zhang Qiang asked again.
"Whatever, if someone is lost in this mountain, they don't care? Rest assured. ”
Chen Dong took the words and said to everyone.
Liu Meng on the side cried even more sadly, and couldn't persuade him.
"Liu Meng, don't cry, if you cry, how can you find Xu Yi? Are you going to give up Xu Yi? ”
At this time, I couldn't help the anger in my heart, and as I spoke, I slowly accentuated my tone.
I don't like to cry when I encounter something, and crying doesn't solve things.
Blindly crying can't help, but adds a lot of trouble, so how can we help him.
Xu Fei and Zhang Wenshu on the side also felt the change in my tone, and a different light flashed in their eyes.
As for what it is, I'm afraid only they know.
On this night, no one expected such an episode to happen.
"Shall we go back and look for it? Will Xu Yi be in danger on this big night? ”
Zhang Wenshu asked.
"I think it's better not to say goodbye, now everyone still has to try to be together, it's better not to walk away alone."
"As for the danger, there are no fierce birds and beasts in this mountain, it shouldn't be, I think, Xu Yi should just be lost."
Chen Dong analyzed.
"That's it, let's go to the tent to rest first, now it is estimated that it is more than ten degrees below zero, don't Xu Yi didn't find it, it was all frozen."
"Tomorrow morning, we'll pack up our things and leave here and go to the town to call the police."
Chen Dong thought about it and chose the safest way, Xu Yi couldn't find a way, although he could continue to look for it now,
However, he doesn't know what will happen next, these people are uncontrollable, he is not familiar with Zhang Qiang and Chen Dong, and he is okay with Zhang Wenshu, but Liu Meng He can't control it at all.
can only let me rest first, and find a reason for Zhang Wenshu to take Liu Meng seriously, if Liu Meng doesn't believe in evil and runs out to find Xu Yi, it will be troublesome now.
As for Li Yi, he didn't know him at all, and he didn't know how to arrange it, so he managed to hold out until tomorrow morning and send it back directly.
I looked at the time, it was two o'clock in the evening, at least four hours before dawn, and this happened, and everyone couldn't sleep.
At this time, Zhang Qiang gave me a look and motioned for me to go to the side to talk.
Looks like he has something to say to me.
It's just that I have questions, why me? Zhang Wenshu, Liu Meng, Chen Dong, Xu Fei, everyone here is possible, but it should never be me.
Among them, I have the least intersection with Zhang Qiang, what is the matter with him looking for me?
With such doubts in mind, I followed him to a secluded corner and looked back at the camp not far away.
When Chen Dong saw us leaving, he wanted to say something, but his eyes kept staring at me, but he didn't stop it.
When I looked back at him, he immediately withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at us.
Only then did I turn my head to look at Zhang Qiang and asked with a puzzled expression:
"Are you looking for something wrong with me? Why do you have to avoid them? ”
Zhang Qiang paused, and then finally spoke, and asked me reluctantly in his tone:
"Do you remember the soul seeker I told you?"
"Before, I heard Xu Fei say that you and he dug up an animal head in the woods, saying that I didn't know what it was, but I told Xu Fei a long time ago."
I realized that he wanted to say this, but there was no need to drag me to this place alone, what was there to be afraid of being heard.
So, I said:
"What's wrong with this?"
"If I told you that you might have dug up a real soul, would you believe it?"
Zhang Qiang said to me seriously, but I didn't take that thing seriously at all, so he smiled:
"Don't be kidding, everyone is sad that Xu Yi is missing, do you want to say that Xu Yi was captured by that animal?"
No matter how low his emotional intelligence is, I'm afraid that anyone can hear the banter in my voice, even if it is not intentional.
But Zhang Qiang was still unmoved, and insisted:
"You believe me, really, I don't lie to you. My family is a Taoist priest, and I know this. ”
Seeing that his tone is very sincere, I don't want to continue to laugh at him, but it makes me believe that there is a non-existent animal that really exists, and has taken away a person's soul, and to say it to others, ridiculous!
Meeting Linde almost didn't collapse my worldview, and every time I saw him, I treated him as a normal person, and I didn't want to remember his identity.
But now, what Zhang Qiang said makes me even more puzzled, such an outrageous thing makes me believe? Why do I keep coming across things I shouldn't?
"Go on."
I don't know why, but the ghost sent God to reply to him like this.
Seeing that I was relieved, Zhang Qiang unhurriedly began to tell me what happened.
It turned out that Zhang Qiang's ancestor was really a Taoist priest, and his grandfather was once a famous Taoist priest during the Republic of China.
With Zhang Qiang's grandfather, he specially wandered in the mountains to help people exorcise demons and eliminate disasters, and it is said that once a few people were found in a remote village, saying that they were going to bury people.
The old lady saw that the person was not a simple corpse, when he was born in the yin, the family house was in the yin position, and when he opened the coffin, his face was blue and his nails were slightly purple.
This is the rhythm of changing zombies, and then I don't know what happened, the corpse really changed, and the old lady was unfortunately killed in order to subdue the zombies.
Before he died, he instructed Zhang Qiang and his grandfather to pass on his mantle, and in this way, from generation to generation. Zhang Qiang also went to college to know that he was a Taoist priest in his group.
I had no choice but to follow my father to learn those things, Zhang Qiang seems to be very talented in this area, and he learns it day by day.
Soon, his father's teachings were almost the same.
His father told him that the reason why the zombie that his grandfather met turned into a zombie was because something called the soul of the soul was taken away.
If the soul does not return to its place after twelve hours of separation, then it is considered dead.
The man's death was unknown, and his grievances and grievances were condensed in his body, plus the Yin House, so he became a zombie.
After listening to what he said, I didn't speak for a while, and kept digesting what he said.
"You mean, Xu Yi was hooked away by Suo Soul?"
I asked.
"Yes, it seems that that thing lost Xu Yi when Xu Yi went out in the middle of the night and hooked his soul, as long as he finds that thing, I think, Xu Yi can also find it."
The meaning of Zhang Qiang's words seems to mean that if you know where that thing is, you will know where Xu Yi is.
"So?"
"So I need you to help me find that thing!"
He said to me.
"But why me?"
"Didn't you notice? Among the few of us, strictly speaking, only you can always meet that thing, even Xu Fei is also because he is with you. ”
"But why me?"
Zhang Qiang's words were even more puzzled, so I immediately asked.
"Because, you are a yin and yang body, half of your body returns to the underworld, and half of your body returns to the world."
Zhang Qiang's words reminded me that someone had indeed said this to me before, but I was just surprised at the time, but I didn't believe it.
"How can you tell? I don't even know it myself. ”
I stared at Zhang Qiang, who seemed reluctant to answer the question, and instead said:
"Now, I need you to follow me to the woods where you met that thing, I think the reason why we couldn't find Xu Yi is because that thing turned into a ghost and blocked Xu Yi."
Zhang Qiang explained to me.
"Blocked?"
"Yes, this thing is very weird, it is said to be a living thing, but it does not have the spirituality of ordinary animals, it can be said to be a ghost thing, but it has a substance."
"So what to do?"
"Find a reason to avoid them for a while, let's go to find Xu Yi in the woods."
Zhang Qiang arranged for me.
I didn't know whether to believe him or not, but what he said didn't look like a lie, so I agreed.
The woods were only a few minutes away, and if something happened, they could run back immediately, and even if they didn't have time, the shouting could be heard a little.
"Okay, then I'll go back and pack some things, and I'll call you later."
After speaking, Zhang Qiang went back to the camp alone.
I did as he was told, cut off a strand of my hair, tied it with red thread, and put it in my pocket.
