Chapter Twenty-Six: Illusion and Thunder
The white mist seemed to float very slowly, but the next moment Ah Da finished speaking, it instantly engulfed a group of people. Everyone listened to the big leaning together, and they didn't dare to move, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and the fog was all white and they couldn't see anything, and everyone's eyes were staring straight ahead, as if they had become blind.
The others just felt nervous, but at the moment when they were shrouded in white mist, Cai Fan and Su Guozhong felt a very strange yin qi in it, and they took out their own guys in shock. Cai Fan felt that he would be a little more nervous than when facing people, not to mention that this fog came suddenly and strangely, and it was unbelievable that this yin qi could not dissipate in broad daylight.
After a while, nothing happened, but Ah Da didn't speak, and no one dared to relax, and some people wanted to ask out loud but didn't dare to think of Ah Da to say, which made this situation even more difficult. Team Li pretended to be very nervous, but in fact, he was very surprised: there are actually mountain ghosts in this place?
Just when Su Guozhong couldn't help but ask what was going on in the fog, suddenly a voice came from the fog, as if someone was whispering, but the direction was very fluctuating, and he didn't know that it was coming from that direction. Everyone knew that it was not someone in the team as soon as they heard it, Zhang Feng raised his gun all of a sudden, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, Cai Fan and Su Guozhong put the swords in their hands across their chests and kept looking around, but Ah Da said in a very small voice: "Don't pay attention, it's an illusion, don't shoot, don't talk." ”
Having said that, it's hard to believe that it's a hallucination, and that voice seems to have a kind of weird magic, and people can't help but ask "where are you" out loud, but fortunately, the group of people are all people who have seen ghosts and monsters, and even if they have such an impulse in their hearts, they try their best to suppress it.
The voice disappeared suddenly, and there was a sudden change in the fog, and several white figures slowly floated past a group of people, dimly and dimly, they looked like ancient people, they seemed to be in a hurry, and they were talking and laughing with each other.
Zhang Feng and Yang Guodong's teeth began to tremble, and Ah Da saw that the people around him looked like they were about to make a move, so they quickly raised their two hands and gently pressed down in front of everyone, signaling that they were all steady.
The seven people didn't dare to take a breath, so they watched the figures float by, but fortunately, those figures didn't move other than float by. But before the heart that jumped to his throat calmed down, a tall, slender black shadow suddenly appeared in the distance. This black shadow was different from the previous figure, I saw that it was cloaked, its hands were above its knees, it was hunched and motionless, it was obviously not human, at this time, everyone felt a cold gaze staring at them, which made people shudder.
As soon as this ghost appeared, Cai Fan almost couldn't help but take a step, several people around him had reached the point where they couldn't hold on, Zhang Feng and the three of them were about to open their mouths and shout, Cai Fan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly covered Zhang Feng and Yang Guodong's mouths with Ah Da, pulled their arms stiffly, and looked at the side with some surprise, it was Team Li who shot together to cover Yu Dazhuang's mouth, which made him even calmer than Su Guozhong.
All seven of them stared at the ghost, holding down their breathing, their hearts beating out of their throats.
After holding on for a while, the black shadow suddenly disappeared, and even if I kept staring at it, I couldn't see how it disappeared, and then the white mist quickly dispersed, as if it had never appeared.
When he saw that he was still in the same place, the seven people sat on the ground with their butts, panting desperately, Ah Da took off his hat and wiped the sweat on his head, panting and said: "This is a kind of ghost fog in the valley, I heard it from the locals before, I didn't believe it at the time, I didn't expect it to be true, I also bumped into it for the first time, and everything inside was an illusion, but once you are fooled, it will disappear with the white fog, and you can't even find the body!" ”
Zhang Feng was frightened just now, and said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
Ah Da said: "It's hard for me to predict things along the way, I've taken this road twice, and most of the things I encountered are different each time, this is the third trip, did we see the place where we came down, I often go there to observe this canyon, but I haven't been able to figure out the situation here for so long, what do you want me to say?" And I said before I set off that everything has to be up to me if you want to save your life. ”
Cai Fan and Su Guozhong glanced at each other at this time, ah Da is a layman, but they are not, this is definitely not as simple as an illusion, they all feel the yin qi, it is still daytime in the sky, if it is night......
Su Guozhong swallowed and spitted at the mouth, wanting to say go back, but he didn't know how to speak, so he just came in and left.
Cai Fan shook his head and motioned to Zhang Feng and them to stop worrying about this, and then asked, "Ah Da, do you want to spend the night here?" Will this white fog still appear at night? ”
"Well, if there is an overnight, I can't say for sure, but I haven't met the first two trips, and I haven't mentioned anyone who came here before and can go back." Ahh
Cai Fan nodded, didn't say anything, and thought to himself that the people he met at night might all be dead, and he had to take some precautions tonight. Although he didn't recognize the dark shadow in it, even fools could see that it was not a good lord; I glanced at the gun in Zhang Feng's hand again, I don't know if this thing is useful.
Team Li pretended to be unpleasant, but he wondered in his heart: Is this the mist of the mountain ghost? Something is wrong, isn't it a black fishy fog? What's going on?
A group of people ate something on the spot, and when they were almost rested, they pooped and urged everyone to hurry up.
Several people in the team thought that the next road would be calmer, but after walking for less than half an hour, they saw Ah Da suddenly raised his hand in front, "Stop, stop, I heard it clearly, I said to run wherever I wanted, don't fall behind!" ”
The spirits of the group tensed up again, and before they could ask out loud, they saw that the sky in front of them had darkened for some time, and a large cloud covered the sky. And the most frightening thing is that the sky began to thunder, thunderclouds rolled in the sky, and lightning fell in the distance from time to time, and the thunder of "click" made people's hearts and livers tremble.
Cai Fanxin said, your uncle, no wonder you have to wear plastic shoes and plastic jackets, there won't be any formation in this place!?
Lei Yun didn't look at it, but he was very scared in the face of this kind of Tianwei big guy, and the white fog just now didn't move, but it engulfed everyone in a blink of an eye. Zhang Feng kept asking Ah Da what to do, but Ah Da just didn't answer, stared at the sky for a while, and suddenly asked everyone to follow him.
How dare the other six people not listen, so they followed Ah Da and ran wildly, Cai Fan gasped and asked out loud: "Ah Da, what kind of place is this?" So what's going on with Ray? ”
Su Guozhong also shouted dissatisfiedly while running: "You should say it, this makes us feel bottomless." ”
Ah shook his head and ignored them, just ran in one direction as fast as he could.
After running like this for about twenty minutes, Ah Da looked at the sky again and stopped. Cai Fan and the others looked back and saw that the cloud was already much smaller, and it happened to pass by where they had just been. The seven men threw their belongings on the ground and panted like bellows.
Ah Da will then said: "I can't tell you this, this kind of thunder has been encountered by many people before, it will appear suddenly, and a few people have been killed, some experts have analyzed that it is because of geological and climatic reasons, anyway, I don't understand, but I have observed, it has a certain law, as long as you see the right time, you can avoid lightning strikes, there were teams wearing special insulated clothes to force their way through, but still dead." ”
After saying that, everyone had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth.
Su Guozhong kept scolding in his heart at this time, and looked up at the sky from time to time, and asked, "That means we will encounter this kind of thunder?" How sure is the kind of law you are talking about? Why don't we go back first? ”
Ah Da said: "According to my previous observations, plus I also calculated before leaving, it should be no problem, follow me 90% of the way safely, this lightning strike zone is very evil, but we have already gone more than halfway, you can decide if you can't go back, you are the captain." ”
This probability shocks everyone's hearts, if it is ten percent...... I can't think about the consequences. Several people in the team retreated in their hearts, especially Zhang Feng and them, but Su Guozhong didn't say anything, they couldn't leave, the Xuanshi Society has a very severe punishment for those who escape, if you want to continue to stay afterwards, then you have to take on more dangerous tasks, the most serious thing is to give you a spell to make you forget everything in the Xuanshi Society, Zhang Feng They have also seen a few, as if they lost their souls and don't recognize anyone, but the reward for each mission is very considerable, so many people are reluctant to leave. And the previous ghost fog has come, and several people believe it in their hearts, and at the same time pray that the heavenly thunder will not be split down.
Su Guozhong thought about it, but still didn't say to go back, and got up from the ground without waiting for his breath to be even, "Quick, get up, what are you waiting for, lead the way!" ”
Ah Da answered, picked up his things and looked at the sky, and then took everyone to continue on his way.
The six of them followed Ah Da in fear, and walked and stopped very regularly. When Su Guozhong's eyes barely lowered to look at his feet, he regretted that he didn't go back just now as he walked, and he would have to die if there was any mistake.
Fortunately, there were no more strange thunderclouds along the way, and finally when it was close to evening, Ah Da stopped, told everyone that he had passed through the lightning strike area, and camped in place, this place could not be hurried at night, it was too dangerous, and then began to build a pot and collect firewood by himself. Cai Fan and the others relaxed, sitting on the ground and not wanting to move, the physical exertion was huge, coupled with the mental tension, and they were frightened by the surprise of Ah Da, and the six people all had loveless expressions on their faces.
Su Guozhong rested almost before he said to Ah Da: "You have to make things clear in the future, otherwise you will kill people." ”
Ah Dabian was busy working, and said without looking back: "You will be afraid, when I used to lead the way, some people were afraid, did not listen to the command, and then harmed others, my former old squad leader said, only walking on the edge of death will stimulate people's potential, at this time people are the most determined." ”
Su Guozhong threw his hat on the ground and thought: I inspired you to be an uncle, your old squad leader is sick? What nonsense is this? But now everyone is fine, so they don't bother to talk to Ah Da anymore.
When the things were cooked, Ah Da beckoned everyone to come over to eat, Cai Fan handed over the plate, only to see that it was filled with compressed biscuits and dried vegetables, but he didn't care, it wasn't that he hadn't had a hard life before, as long as he could fill his stomach, but Su Guozhong didn't want to eat this, so he complained a few words.
Cai Fan looked around while eating, and sighed in his heart, before he came, he thought it was just a difficult road, but he didn't expect that there were so many dangers, and he admired it in his heart, and he was very stable, as if it was okay afterwards, and Team Li was also very calm, at this time Cai Fan was a little glad that he came along.
Eating the unpalatable compressed biscuits, Su Guozhong suddenly asked, "Ah big, how many of the teams you led have died?" ”
"Seven have died, but I've heard of a few teams that didn't make it back." Ah, he ate and said without raising his head.
When Su Guozhong heard this, he had the urge to smash the plate. Cai Fan felt that the dead were not strange, if there was no accident, this place would have been finished long ago.
After eating, it was already dark, and Ah Da commanded Zhang Feng and them to set up a tent, and divided the time to take turns to keep vigil. Cai Fan looked at the sky at this time, and the stars in the sky could be seen very clearly, the weather should be good tonight, but he didn't know how to look at the sky, so he called Ah Da, "Is there anything to pay attention to at night?" ”
Ah Da said: "This place is very quiet, there are no wild beasts, the camp is still quite safe, but if you are in a hurry, even if there is a compass, it will not work, that thing can not be believed here, it is easy to get lost, there is an underground river under the turf near this place, you can not see clearly during the day, it is easy to fall down at night, and you see, the stars in the sky can be seen very clearly, but if you look closely, you will find that there is no Big Dipper in it, no one can tell what is going on." ”
Cai Fan was shocked when he heard this, looked at the sky again, and sure enough, there was no Big Dipper, and after pondering in his heart, he went to the two tents and burned some dark paper, and muttered in his mouth: "Everyone has a share, don't rob it, we are passing by here, we have no intention of disturbing, everyone is safe." ”
Although Cai Fan didn't notice the existence of a yin spirit around him, he didn't care if it was useful or not, he burned it first. Then he inserted a circle of incense on the ground around him, tied it to the incense with a red thread and connected it into a circle to enclose the tent, and finally, Cai Fan took out a pile of charms, starting from the first incense, and read: "The way of heaven is over, three or five percent, the sun and the moon are together, out of the slender, into the underworld, the air preaching, the air is clear, the evil ghosts and thieves are all extinct, those who look at me are blind, those who listen to me are deaf, those who dare to plot against me will suffer from it, I am Ji Bi, Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law!" ”
Recite a sentence at each step, and then paste the spell on the red line, until the last incense, after the spell is recited, Cai Fan "ha", stretched out his hand, and suddenly saw that all the incense inserted in the ground burned by itself, this scene is really magical in the next Ah Da, he is not an atheist, he has been on the edge of Kunlun Mountain for so many years because he is too fascinated by Kunlun Mountain, and always wants to figure out the secrets here, there is an authentic mage in the team He met it for the first time, and he couldn't help but look forward to this trip more.
After Cai Fan finished reciting the mantra, he took out a bundle of incense and handed it to Ah Da, "If any of you keep vigil, you must see the incense, this kind of incense is specially made by me, one can be burned for about three hours, and you must replace it with a new one in advance before burning, just insert it on the red line and light it, save a little use, I have so much." ”
Su Guozhong didn't say anything in his eyes, he also had similar means, but he would save trouble if someone made a move.
Ah Da took it and asked, "This Master Cai, what is the use of this spell?" ”
Cai Fan knew that the other party was stunned by his own hand, and finally had a feeling of returning to the path he was good at, put on an unfathomable look, smiled and said: "This is a spell to ward off evil spirits, which can prevent ghosts from coming in." ”
"Oh." Ahh
The first round of vigil was Ah Da, and Cai Fan and they rested in the tent.
