Chapter 11: The Demon Dog
The big yellow dog galloped straight at the three of them, only to hear the aconitum bark; "Run!"
The three of them panicked, covered their heads and ran, the sound of the wind in their ears was accompanied by a rapid gasp, and no one dared to look back and take a second look.
After running wildly for a few minutes, the three of them were crossed by the "Tang Lai Canal" (this canal, which began in the Qin and Han dynasties, was completely renovated and expanded in the Tang Dynasty. Blocking the way, looking back, the big yellow dog did not run fast or slow, and calmly followed behind.
There is a canal in front of it, and there is a big dog in the back, which is the time to be stunned, but the big dog suddenly accelerated, and in a blink of an eye it was close to the front, and the aconite was anxious for a while, relying on his good water nature, and jumped into the water with "Gu Dong".
Ning Shuai was a landlubber, turned around and dodged along the edge of the ditch, the speed of the big yellow dog was extremely fast, and with a big mouth full of haras, it bit Ning Shuai.
Nie Tian, who was very good at water, saw that his brother was going to suffer, and he was anxious for a while, and a strong step blocked in front of Ning Shuai, staring at the eyes of the big yellow dog fiercely, although the fear and tension made his whole body stiff, but he still tried his best to shout loudly, but he was too nervous, and shouted out in English, "Stop!"
Nie Tian looked at this bloody mouth, closed his eyes in despair, and waited for the sharp teeth of the big yellow dog, but the pain was delayed.
After a while, the back of Nie Tian's hand felt a little itchy and wet, and he opened his eyes slightly, and saw in his eyes that the originally vicious big yellow dog was cute at this time.
A large round head, pointed triangular ears, and bulb-like eyes that glow faintly red. The limbs are strong, but the dog's paws are like lion's claws, and with the height above the waist, it doesn't look like a dog.
The "four dislikes" in front of him were licking the back of Nie Tian's hand with its sticky, wet tongue, coupled with saliva dripping on its black lips, Nie Tian's heart was full of disgust, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but he was afraid of angering the big yellow dog.
Turning his head, he gave Ning Shuai a look behind him and told him to leave quickly.
Ning Shuai slowly retreated a few meters, hurriedly turned around and ran wildly, and couldn't see his figure in a blink of an eye.
At this time, the big yellow dog turned a blind eye to Ning Shuai's escape, but stared at Nie Tian vigorously, as if he was examining him, Nie Tian cautiously tested, and asked: "Brother dog, it's nothing, I'll go home first, my mother will wait for me to go home for dinner!" ”
The big yellow dog didn't react, still staring at it, Nie Tian was bitter in his heart, and secretly laughed at himself, he actually talked to a dog, and called him a brother.
At this moment, the big yellow dog actually raised its hind legs and gave out a stream of yellow liquid.
The big yellow dog writhed his butt and his urine flew up and down, causing the sand to splash by the ditch.
Nie Tian hurriedly gave way to the back, still stenching into his nose, and quickly pinched his nose in disgust.
After a while, the big yellow dog raised its big head and looked at Nie Tian, and Nie Tian also looked at it, looking at each other, with some indescribable embarrassment.
Nie Tianxia subconsciously avoided the eyes of the big yellow dog, looked away, and just saw a spoof warning sign written by a boring person not far away, with a few big words on it: "Those who defecate by the ditch are dogs!" ”
The warning sign pulled the trance-stricken Nie Tian back to reality, as if to remind him that the "four dislikes" in front of him were indeed a dog.
The big yellow dog's low and dull bark made Nie Tian withdraw his gaze and look at the big yellow dog.
The big yellow dog lowered his head and pointed to his masterpiece with the tip of his nose, and Nie Tian looked at it, and the few patterns on the ground were crooked, and they looked like numbers when they looked closely.
Nie Tian looked at it for a while, and it turned out to be the Arabic numeral "825".
Nie Tian rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe that the pattern in front of him was actually from the hand of a dog, no, it should be a dog's place.
I said in my heart: "If I am not dreaming, then what does this "825" mean? ”
Subconsciously pinching my thighs, it hurts, it's not a dream!
Just when Nie Tian was thinking about it, the big yellow dog barked, and when Nie Tian looked at it, it turned its head to look at Foguang Temple, and then the corners of its mouth rose, making people feel extremely weird.
Nie Tian looked at this "four dislikes" giant dog that showed a strange "smile", and suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back, and he was wet, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore, he just wanted to stay away from it immediately, the farther away the better!
The big yellow dog looked at Foguang Temple, then at Nie Tian, nodded, and swaggered towards Foguang Temple.
Watching the big yellow dog leave, Nie Tianyi sat on the ground, already in a cold sweat all over his body. The big yellow dog he encountered today completely subverted Nie Tian's perception of dogs.
The so-called "there must be demons when things are impermanent", Nie Tian decided at that time that no matter what the number was, he decided to cherish life and stay away from the big yellow dog.
Found along the side of the canal, and finally climbed up from the ditch where there was a lack of water in the dry season, and the aconitum was silted everywhere, and Qi Shuai fled early without a trace.
The aconite head scolded and scolded, saying that this dog was too weird, and he must have become a demon, Nie Tian also thought about the strange behavior of the big yellow dog, and went back to his own home.
The scene half a month ago appeared in front of me again, unconsciously recalling "825" and the eyes of the big yellow dog looking at Foguang Temple, as well as all the strange things in the past few days, I had an ominous premonition in my heart.
Now looking at the TV screen, I think quickly in my mind, Foguang Temple, Tang Lai Canal, and the city wall were all built in the Tang Dynasty, and the Fifth People's Hospital didn't know what ancient ruins there were before, but there should have been corresponding Tang Dynasty buildings, and the ancients built these, what was the purpose?
What does the recent bizarre encounter, the strange figure of the man, the mysterious "825" pattern left by the big yellow dog, and the strange shadow of the humanoid snake body have anything to do with these?
There were many doubts in my heart, and these were inextricably linked with myself, and I was even more determined to find out.
It's not lonely in the middle of a summer night. The golden crescent moon hangs in the dark sky accompanied by bright stars.
In the usually quiet bedroom, Nie Tian could clearly hear the frogs in the pool, accompanied by crickets, singing to their "lovers" about their "heartfelt feelings".
However, Nie Tian is now sitting in front of the computer, busily looking up information related to the bizarre encounter recently, and he is completely unaware of the changes in himself.
In the middle of the night, Nie Tian, who was already asleep, suddenly emitted a faint trace of colorful light from the imperceptible cracks of the pine nut-shaped ellipsoid in his brain, which made him unconsciously enter a state of concentration.
His "stream of consciousness" scurried through every nerve in his body, but soon the chaotic "stream of consciousness" gathered towards the front of his brain, and he felt that the front of his forehead was getting hotter and hotter, as if he was absorbing energy from the outside world.
When you feel that your forehead is burning, this "stream of consciousness" goes down the eyes, nose, mouth, and heart, and finally down to the place between the legs, and then gathers upwards in the lower abdomen and navel eye, a little lower, forming a small bright spot.
After a moment of "stream of consciousness" gathering, there is a warm sensation in the lower abdomen, and then the "stream of consciousness" continues up the spine to the center of the brain, and finally passes over the head and back to the forehead.
In this way, the "stream of consciousness" continues to flow through the body again and again, until the bright spot in the lower abdomen is as big as a pin, and then it stops flowing.
