Chapter 4: The Dust
I didn't sleep that night, I was like a kid who got candy and wanted to eat it but was afraid of poison. I know that in this era of such advanced technology, there is still a theory of yin and yang world.
Why are there still animals cultivating to become essences?
Didn't grandpa say that he ***** kill everything he could?
Is it really because of the afterlife?
I'm sure now that youkai have appeared not only in the northeast, but also in other places.
With a series of questions in my head, I tossed and turned until dawn.
Today is Sunday, and the class has not officially started, and when I go out to wash up and come back, I see Hadron staring at me with a dead fish.
"! He doesn't know what happened last night, right? ", I thought to myself.
But his first words dispelled that thought.
"Ah Xiao, was I drunk and hit by a car last night?" , he asked innocently.
"Uh-uh......"
I suppressed the urge to laugh and said, "You got drunk last night and fell into the ditch at the school gate, and it took me a lot of effort to pull you up." ”
"No wonder! My body is falling apart, no, I'm going to sleep again. After Qiangzi finished speaking, he fell on the bed.
I let out a sigh of relief and thought, "I've finally gotten through." ”
I packed my things, left the school gate alone, and wandered the streets of the provincial capital. The bustling crowd, with joy and sorrow on everyone's face, at this moment I actually felt that I was far, far away from this peaceful life.
I quickly shook my head and tried not to think about all the nonsense, what I have to do now is to find a person, Xu Chenzi!
"No. 88 Mixed Dragon Road." I looked at the address on the note and waved down a taxi.
"Young man, what are you doing on Mixed Dragon Road?" Uncle Driver began to talk at me.
It is said that most taxi drivers in China are chattering, and I have always agreed with this sentence.
I replied helplessly, "I'll go there and find someone." ”
The driver looked at me in the rearview mirror and said incredulously, "Could it be that you have a friend there?" ”
Hearing this, I became interested, could it be that this Mixed Dragon Road is still a place with a story?
"Uncle, it's the first time I've been to this Mixed Dragon Road, is there anything different there?" , I asked.
The driver's expression became serious, and he said slowly: "If I were you, I wouldn't go there." ”
"Why?" , I asked puzzled, I have been in college in the provincial capital for a year, and I have never heard of this mixed dragon road.
"I've told others before, but everyone thinks I'm talking nonsense, and if you want to say that people encounter a lot of strange things, it's still us taxi drivers." , the driver unhurriedly lit a cigarette and talked about the incident of Mixed Dragon Road.
I think he thinks very much, taxi drivers are the owners who don't sleep in the middle of the night and go out to solicit customers, if you are lucky, you can pull one or two trips, and if you are unlucky, you may run into dirty things. The dirty things here are those wild ghosts that roam the city and countryside in the middle of the night. The middle of the night is the time when the yang energy is the weakest, and the taxi driver is tired for a day, the yang energy is weakened, and when it weakens to a certain limit, you can see dirty things that you can't usually see. There are many cases of treating dirty things as human beings, and when you meet a kind-hearted person, you may leave a few dark coins, and you will be explained when you encounter an evil ghost. In addition to children of a few years old, the elderly are frail people, and they are born with a different pair of eyes, such as mine.
Now listening to what the driver said, I want to know what is the origin of the mixed dragon road, I quickly said: "Uncle, you can say it, I believe it!" ”
The driver glanced at me, and estimated that I must have understood those things when I went to Mixed Dragon Road, so he nodded.
"When the sun sets in the western mountains, when the night comes, everything there is in charge of special personnel, and the ghosts and ghosts in the night are rampant there." , The driver was stunned for a moment, but still said this sentence.
"Hiss......", I gasped, the driver had no reason to lie to me, I didn't expect that there was such a place, what role is this Xu Chenzi playing, I am now more and more curious about the mixed dragon road.
The driver continued: "For the convenience of our taxi drivers, there is also a WeChat group on the Internet. Just in the past year, the banknotes received by taxi drivers soliciting customers on Minglong Road often turned into a pile of paper ashes by dawn, and several drivers died in the car in a horrific state. The result given by the medical examiner was severe shock! ”
"Is there really a demon?" , I muttered to myself.
"Later, the above did not pay attention to this matter until that incident happened." When the driver said this, there was a panicked look on his face.
"What's the matter?" I couldn't wait to ask.
The driver lit another cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "That matter has been blocked from above, but many people still know about it." That incident also caused the residents of Mixed Dragon Road to move away. It was the beginning of this year, and several residents of Mixed Dragon Road were on their way home at night, their blood was sucked dry, and their bodies looked like dried corpses. The complete blockade of this matter has also attracted the attention of the above, so all the residents of Mixed Dragon Road have moved out, and now they live in Mixed Dragon Road by a group of people arranged by the above. ”
"So that's the case, has the situation on Mixed Dragon Road changed now?" , I asked.
"Since those people came, there have been no vicious incidents there, but some drivers can still hear strange screams coming from here when they go out at night." , the driver said.
I nodded, and although I was afraid, it wasn't very serious. After all, I saw something incredible last night.
Finally, the Mixed Dragon Road has arrived.
It's noon, and the sun can't open their eyes. I paid and got out of the car, and before I could say goodbye to the driver, he kicked the gas pedal and jumped out.
I smiled helplessly, in front of me was an old-fashioned street with no end in sight, empty buildings, there was no one here in the daytime, a chill hit my face, I couldn't help but shiver.
I walked slowly, and I now wondered if the place was inhabitable, and there were a few pillars around the street, covered with talismans, and the ground was painted in blood-red, and everything looked so eerie. I tried not to look at the strange things and walked inside step by step.
"This is number 36." , I looked at the building number and muttered to myself.
I continued to walk inside, and at this pace, number 88 should be fast.
"Here it is...... Number 36! I rubbed my eyes vigorously and looked at the grade.
"It's number 36...... Will it be repeated? I comforted myself, but things didn't seem to be so simple, I turned my head and saw the stone statue of the evil beast on the street, this stone statue of the evil beast was here when I first saw No. 36, which means that I have been standing still! Fear began to spread from my heart in an instant!
I turned around with great difficulty, and it was strange that it was quiet.
I swallowed and said, "Could it be that you encountered a ghost hitting the wall in broad daylight?" ”
I had a retreat in my heart, and shouted: "Lao Tzu doesn't go in, I'll go!" ”
In fact, I shouted this voice to give myself courage, after all, no one is afraid of this matter. I turned my head and walked towards the exit, I should have called my grandfather after all this happened, but I didn't dare. To let the old man know that I disobeyed his orders, I guess I had to kill me from my hometown to the provincial capital to beat me. My steps are getting faster and faster, and I want to get out of this strange place quickly, but the reality is so unsatisfactory.
"Whew......", I let out a sigh of relief, I have been walking for so long, I can't get in, so I should be able to come out.
I looked up at the buildings on both sides, and most of the buildings here were the same, and it was easy to lose sight of the place.
"Building number...... Number 36! I looked at the building sign that seemed to be a talisman.
"Calm down, calm down!" I tried to calm myself and think about how to crack this scene.
Suddenly, my chest burned, and the flowers of the dead began to appear in my chest, and at this time, I felt a cool feeling in my mind. My eyes became clearer and clearer, and every grass and tree, and an insect flying in the air became extremely clear.
Everything in front of me is starting to become unreal......
"None of this is true." I closed my eyes, and at this moment my heart was as calm as water.
When I opened my eyes again, the building in front of me had disappeared, and I was standing in an open space, and in front of me stood an old man with a white beard in a Tang costume.
"Dusty senior?" , I hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Nineteen, after so many years, we meet again." , Xu Chenzi smiled and patted me on the shoulder.
