Chapter 314: Endless Fall
The high temperature, which seemed to engulf people, made my face change, and I subconsciously wanted to jump up and dodge, but I don't know why, at this moment, it was as if I was nailed to the spot by something, and I couldn't move at all.
I wanted to scream a few times to relieve the impending pain, but I couldn't make any sound.
Just when I couldn't help but close my eyes and think that I was about to be swallowed up, the sea of fire that swept in from all directions disappeared in an instant, and the heat that was about to melt people dissipated, and the world around me returned to darkness and silence.
"What's going on?" The moment I was submerged again, I also felt that I had regained my mobility, but I didn't get up in a panic anymore, because I knew that I was still in the grass hut, there was no danger, and everything that had been before was just an illusion.
It's not quite appropriate to say that it's an illusion, because just now, I really seemed to see everything in the grass hut and saw the glittering bronze statue of the ancestor.
Looking at the location of the three so-called red giants before, it was already pitch black, and there was nothing.
The so-called red giant star is naturally the three incense sticks that sit down in front of the light and sit down, and they have burned out at this time, so naturally there is nothing.
"Hallucinations? Or is it real? Looking ahead of me where I couldn't see anything, I couldn't help but talk to myself.
And the little yellow dog, who had been honestly staying on the side when he heard my voice, also stuck to my body with hot air, and rubbed straight forward.
After habitually reaching out and touching his head a few times to calm down the little yellow dog a little, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned again.
"No, before I turned off the light, the little yellow dog slept in the kennel on the ground at the end of my bed, the little thing is very spiritual, as long as you see me sitting down in front of the bronze statue of the ancestor master, it is easy not to come to disturb the side, and I didn't hear its footsteps coming in from outside just now."
"In other words, when I was still in the weird state just now, it had already come to the side and squatted, so ...... The fact that I just saw it next to it wasn't a hallucination, but real? ”
"Just the sparks of the three incense sticks made me see everything in the grass hut just now?"
After thinking about it, I couldn't be sure if I really saw the scene in the grass hut just now, or if it was just a hallucination that appeared in YY's fantasy, so I didn't bother to think about it so much, so I got up and fumbled to turn on the electric light.
Looking at the incense sticks in the incense burner after they were completely burned, especially at the bronze statue of the ancestor in the shrine, I couldn't help but fall into a deep thought.
Although I can't figure out whether it is reality or hallucination, I have to say that the feeling just now is quite wonderful, just like a person completely floating out of the clouds, swimming in the boundless depth, full of unknown mysteries of space. And the three "red giants", the small explosion at that moment when they are completely burned out is also quite magical, it is actually a bit thrilling, and even makes people feel scared, suffocated, and feel extremely small.
"Huanhuan, just now you also saw a fire burning in the house, and the bronze statue of Master Zu is glowing, right?" After pulling myself out of the thrilling aftertaste just now, and concentrating on the bronze statue of the ancestor that looks a little round and smooth under the frequent contact of people, but under the erosion of the years, it looks mottled again, I lowered my head and asked the little yellow dog with a smile.
In response to me, the little yellow dog barked happily and innocently. I don't know if it was just an enthusiastic response to my master's name, or if it really understood what I was asking, and it was supposed to understand it anyway, and gave me a positive answer.
I wanted to light the incense again and turn off the lights, trying to see if I could repeat the experience just now, but after thinking about it, this strange feeling was originally unavoidable, so I simply gave up. Talking to himself, talking to the little yellow dog who doesn't know whether he can hear or understand people's words, he washed his face with half a basin of cold water and missed his feet, and after sneaking out to pee, he turned on his mobile phone and rolled it to the bed.
"The wind seems to be a bit strong tonight, and the temperature is a little low......"
On the first night, the old man most likely stayed at the general's grave and did not return.
The next day, he still didn't come back.
On the third day, seeing that the sky was almost dark, the terraced fields under the mountain, and the village opposite were swallowed up by night, and there was still no trace of the old man.
"Could it be that for the past three days, I have stayed in the general's grave and never went? Is this necessary? "As it was completely dark, and the light that came out of the hut was completely obscured by the night, I knew at once that the old man would not be back to-night.
So a faint worry began to spring up in my heart.
It's not that I'm worried about the old man, but I'm worried about the general's grave.
In my opinion, since the first thing the old man did when he went to the general's grave was to have people smash the merit monument that had just been erected for two days, and temporarily calmed the anger of the general's soul with this move, the next thing was to either negotiate with the general's soul and let his anger disappear completely, or to shock him by means and have to accept this matter, and there was no need to spend so much time there. So it's a little strange not to come back for three whole days.
When my father and grandfather came back the afternoon before yesterday, the smashing of the monument had been confirmed, and it was the old man who asked him to do this.
But if that's the case, why didn't the old man come back?
Only the old man himself knows, and even if he comes back then, he won't necessarily tell me.
After sighing softly, he put away his faint worry, got up and took the small stool together, and entered the thatched hut that seemed colder than the outside.
The weather in the past two days is still very good, the wind and the sun are beautiful, but as long as the sun goes down, it will cool quickly, and when it is close to midnight, it is even a little cold to the bone.
It's kind of magical. At first, when I went up the mountain, I also estimated that if this place wanted to be able to live in people, at least two days, at most no more than three days, and it was necessary to disperse the gathered yin qi once, otherwise the cold air would be heavy at night, and no matter how thick the quilt was, it would not be useful, but in fact, this kind of thing did not happen, and I did not draw a complete spiritual map at all in that week, and the old man did not personally touch it again, but the yin qi in this place has never reached the level of being able to affect people.
I can clearly feel that even when the sun is shining during the day, the convergence of yin energy does not completely stagnate, and at night it will intensify geometrically, but it is never so thick that it will affect people. Even when it is the heaviest yin, it feels normal and does not feel too cold.
Don't think about it, being able to suppress the yin qi of this evil land has nothing to do with me, it's all because the old man stays here day and night, and as he leaves, he won't come back for three days, so this situation will naturally no longer exist.
It is not very obvious during the day, but it is obvious at night, the grass hut is cold, as if it is still winter, especially the metal things, which are obviously a little prickly to the touch.
I have twelve yuan protection, it doesn't matter much, but it's still a puppy's Huanhuan, it's not so good, I've added two old clothes to its nest, or fluff, the effect is still not very obvious, in the second half of last night, I saw it shrunk in the nest and shivered. I had no choice, so I had to make dinner early and eat it together, and then I added one of my down jackets to it, and I went back to the nest as soon as it was dark, and I didn't want to move.
Even so, I still have no intention of drawing a map of Lishan's righteous qi to dispel the heavier and heavier yin qi.
It's not because I'm lazy, but when it was dark yesterday and I obviously felt that the yin qi was getting a lot worse, an idea suddenly popped up.
Perhaps, this is exactly what I should be in this environment?
I can't tell if there is any benefit, but I suddenly feel that maybe this is the right choice.
It was driven by this thought that even if he found that the yin qi tonight was much heavier than last night, he still had no intention of making a move.
In this way, it will be bitter for the little yellow dog, and I will not say anything good to eat, and I will suffer from freezing at night.
"If the old man doesn't come back tomorrow, will I send you home?" Squatting in front of the already thick kennel, I whispered after touching the head of the small thing on the edge of the kennel.
This time he probably really understood what I was saying, and the little yellow dog, who had just raised his eyes and squinted at me, suddenly got up, sat in the nest and looked at me with wide eyes, and made a soft chirp, as if in protest.
"Obedient, it's not that I don't want you anymore, it's that this place is very cold, if the old man still doesn't come back tomorrow, it will get even colder, if you continue to stay here with me, there will be problems, go home to accompany your parents and they are the same, when the old man comes back, it's not too late for you to come back." It seemed reluctant, and I whispered again.
After two more minutes of talking, the little yellow dog finally agreed to go home, and after humming and licking my palm a few times, he lay down again.
After finally completing the "ideological work" of this little guy, I stopped inking anything, turned over the hat and sleeves of the down jacket, and put the cold air on the little yellow dog, then got up and went into the inner room where the old man slept, and came to the small table and began to incense.
As the lights went out, the whole grass hut suddenly fell into darkness again, and only the sparks of three burning incense sticks came out.
After that little experience the night before, I felt as if I had liked the feeling, and I couldn't get rid of it, and I had some aftertastes, so I couldn't wait to light the incense again as soon as it got dark last night, trying to experience it again. However, when I sat down all night, I couldn't remember how many times I had changed the incense, but I remembered that every time the incense went out, I quickly got up and changed the incense, and I couldn't re-experience the wonder.
But it doesn't matter, this is something that is unattainable and has a low chance of being reproduced, and I didn't have much hope when I did it, I just wanted to do it. If you don't have hope, you can't talk about disappointment.
As his mind calmed down, his concentration was focused on the three dark red points of light in front of him, and the night wind blew through the lush woods, the weeds on the nearby graves, and the sound of slapping on the grass hut gradually weakened until it disappeared. The whole world is in absolute silence and depth, without any sound, only three points of light burning quietly in the dark night.
Gradually, the whole world became depressed again, even dead. Just as the approach before a storm, in the boundless depth, it was as if a Void beast was about to be born.
I don't know why, I obviously focused my attention on the three red dots in front of me, trying to create the feeling of inadvertently encountering the night before, but unconsciously, my mind drifted to the dream I had on the first night of going up the mountain.
In that dream, the grass hut floated quietly in the middle of the bottomless abyss, emitting a faint fluorescent light, in stark contrast to the extreme and hideous black around it, and under the grass hut, a coffin with black blood constantly flowing, dragging the grass hut on the coffin lid.
Different from the scene in the dream, this time under the grass hut that appeared in my mind, there was no big coffin on top of it, so the grass hut that lost its support inevitably began to fall.
Falling together, there were also three dark red points of light that seemed to be very close and seemed to be far away.
At first, I didn't think it was anything, I just thought about it, and it wasn't a big deal anyway. But as the speed of the fall became faster and faster, and I even felt like I couldn't breathe, I gradually began to panic a little.
In addition to the feeling of being extremely uncomfortable, the main thing was that I remembered that in that dream, there was a pair of cold, lifeless giant eyes looking at me under the abyss, like the gaze of death.
So I started panicking, and I started to shudder, trying to stop this endless fall.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it, not only can it not be stopped, but it is still accelerating.
In the boundless darkness around me, it was as if an invisible hand had appeared, approaching me little by little, as if it was about to crush me, and I could even clearly feel that the chill of death was approaching.
So I panicked even more and wanted to shout out, so as to shatter and dispel the extreme suffocation and depression in my heart.
But there was nothing I could do, and no matter how wide I opened my mouth, it was like a lump of lead had been stuffed in my throat, and I couldn't make any sound at all.
In the midst of the overwhelming fear that became more and more irrepressible, I couldn't help but begin to despair.
Because although I can't look down, I'm pretty sure that under the abyss, there are indeed a pair of death-like eyes looking at me, and the distance between me and me is getting closer and closer.
And as soon as I touched that eye, even if I was even a little closer, I would die instantly.
However, at this time, there was no one to stop my fall, no one to save me, and I was completely powerless to do anything about it.
"What now?" Naturally, I didn't want to sit still, so I didn't want to give up despite my despair.
