I went down the path, bypassed Li Wan, went up to the mountain, and then hid by the little river beside the fork in the road that led to Huai Shu Wan, and I turned off my flashlight and hid in the grass on the other side of the river, so that they could go into the valley and go to Huai Shu Wan, and I would be able to see it. Fortunately, there have been no stings yet, and there are no bugs or snakes in the grass.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, I saw a few flashlights coming this way, and when I stopped at the fork in the road, I heard the voice of Zhang Wan Zhang Jian, and it is estimated that this group of Taoist priests also hired Zhang Jian as a guide and came by the path.

Zhang Jian said: "Dao Chiefs, if you enter from this road, it is Huaishu Bay, you have to be careful." ”

The old Taoist priest Zhang in the city thanked him and took out a wad of money to him, Zhang Jian took it with a smile and said that the elders were too polite.

The old Taoist priest smiled: "Hard work, it should be." Then he told Zhang Jian not to talk to anyone about it. Zhang Jian agreed, and trotted away, probably still shadowing here.

The old Taoist priest looked at the light of Zhang Jian's flashlight and walked far away, and asked, "Did you ask about his birthday?" ”

Senior Brother Xuan Ming's voice: "This kid has no defense at all, and he will come out in a few words." ”

The old Taoist priest smiled: "This kid is still dreaming of making a fortune." No one should be allowed to know about it. ”

Then I asked everyone to unload the things, and through the light of the flashlight, I saw that there were props such as burning paper, talismans, and flags.

Senior Brother Xuan Ming said with a smile: "It's still Senior Sister Xuanji who is the smartest, and it doesn't take much effort, so that the little Taoist priest is fascinated, and obediently circles the specific location." Otherwise, let that guy lead the way, you look at that cowardice, I will be scared when I send it here, and it is estimated that the knife will be on his neck, and he will not dare to take us in again. ”

Senior Sister Xuanji smiled: "Senior brother will make fun of others." ”

The old Taoist priest smiled: "Xuan Ji is so beautiful and lovely, there are few little Taoist priests who are not fascinated by her." As he spoke, the old Taoist priest spread out the map, looked at it with a flashlight, and scolded after a while: "Damn, I suspect that the people who lurked in the geological team before have different intentions, how can this location be so close to the outside, how can it not be discovered." ”

Senior Sister Xuanji hurriedly said, "It's better for us to wait for Senior Brother Su Xuanke to come later, this time we just inquire." ”

Senior Brother Xuan Ming laughed and said, "Oh, you only have your Su Xuanke in your heart, and I think that we senior brothers have no ability." Today is to let you see and understand, and the senior brothers can also rely on it. ”

Senior Sister Xuanji said shyly: "Who only has Su Xuanke in their hearts? ”

The old Taoist priest said: "Xuan Ke has something to do now, let's try it first, if it can succeed, it will also be a great achievement, Xuanji, you are waiting here, when we need you, we will call you over." ”

Senior Sister Xuanji smmmmed for a moment.

At this time, I understood in my heart: This Xuanji senior sister told me so much, just to gain my trust, why let me save her, a bunch of nonsense, it is really the most poisonous woman's heart.

Then a few people sorted out their things and went into the valley, and Senior Sister Xuanji stood alone on the side of the road.

I saw that the people were far away, so I wanted to bypass Senior Sister Xuanji and follow through the grass, so I crawled by the river, preparing to cross the river in a shallow place downstream, when the river next to me suddenly made a popping sound, as if there were fish.

I was afraid that my sister would find me, so I hurriedly lay on my stomach and did not move, and my sister used a flashlight to shine into the water, but I didn't see anything.

I waited for a moment, then continued to climb. Ten meters downstream from Senior Sister Xuanji, where the river is shallow, I am going to wade across the river from there, run to the grass opposite, and from there bypass Senior Sister Xuanji and enter the valley.

I stared in the direction of Senior Sister Xuanji as I stretched out my legs into the river.

Suddenly, there was a force from below, which immediately pulled me into the river.

It's over, I forgot that there was something in this river before, and the master said that it might be a water monkey or something.

I hurriedly took out my flashlight, only to see a black claw in the water, grabbing my feet, pulling me to the deep water, I fell into the water, and the talisman hidden in my clothes was probably all wet, I struggled, trying to climb to the shore over there, but the claw, with great strength, grabbed my feet.

In a few moments, I was dragged a few meters away, and the water was up to my head.

At this time, I saw the bright light of the flashlight shining towards me, and I hurriedly stretched my head out of the water to breathe, and before I could say the word for help, I was pulled into the water again.

I saw the bright light hurriedly running towards me, one hand reached into the water, grabbed my shoulder, pulled me out of the water, I saw that Sister Xuanji was struggling with a red face, pulling me hard, I also hurriedly reached out to hold her, but the strength of the two people, still can't compare to the things in the water, we were dragged into the deep water together, Sister Xuanji grabbed me tightly with one hand, and wanted to grab something with the other hand, the flashlight rolled on the ground and shone into the water, I saw a black shriveled monkey like tree bark, and was obviously stunned by the light. Much less strength, I kicked it away. and Senior Sister Xuanji finally climbed to the shore.

The thing's claws followed, stopped at a very shallow point, and slowly dived back into the deep water.

Sister Xuanji and I lay on the grass on the shore, panting vigorously.

Senior Sister Xuanji asked, "Why are you so bold and come alone." ”

I didn't want to talk to her and turned my head away.

She didn't speak, she groped for something, and for a moment she threw my head at her, pinched my cheeks with her hands, opened her mouth, and she stuffed a pill into my mouth with her other hand, and I just wanted to spit it out. I saw that she still had one in her hand, stuffed it into her mouth, swallowed it and said to me: "This is a talisman pill, now my body is completely soaked, taking this pill can prevent you from getting sick." I saw that she had eaten it too, and it should be true, so I swallowed it.

After a while, I felt a warm current in my chest, which instantly spread throughout my body, and my body, which was about to be shivering from the cold, instantly warmed up.

I looked at her angrily, thinking to myself: She shouldn't hurt me, otherwise she wouldn't have saved me just now, could it be that those words just now were just a cover in front of those Taoist priests in the city.

Senior Sister Xuanji seemed to have guessed what was on my mind, and said, "You should have heard what we said just now, I don't want to explain anything, I just hope you can believe me." As if he was a little sad again, he whispered, "Even if you don't believe it, it's nothing." You'll get to know later. ”

Then she looked up at the sky, pointed to the sky and said to me, "Look, that star is your star." ”

I looked up at the sky, there was no moon now, the stars were much brighter, I don't know which one, she pointed again, I followed the direction of her finger, and found that there were no stars there, and after looking at it for a long time, I realized that the starlight seemed to blink in my eyes.

I guess they lied to me again, and said that I would be a Gemini or something in the future. This star is so faint that ordinary people basically can't see it, and it only brightens up for half a day.

Senior Sister Xuanji saw that I didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Good brother, you have to believe that in the near future, this star will move slowly and get brighter and brighter, and one day, it will illuminate the entire world at a certain moment." ”

I said, "Don't bully me for not reading much, I went to junior high school, except for the Big Dipper, there are very few stars in the sky that are particularly bright, and the bright ones are only meteors." And our teacher said that the star is shining just because the star is burning, and if my star is really bright one day, it is because the star has exploded and burned out, proving that its life is about to end. ”

Senior Sister Xuanji didn't speak again, but hugged me gently and said, "Little Daoist's star will not explode, it will always shine in the sky." ”

As much as I love being hugged by her, I feel like she's just taking advantage of me.

That's when I noticed that the valley inside was glowing brightly, and someone was running this way.

Sister Xuanji hurriedly asked me to hide in the grass, she picked up the flashlight, walked to the fork in the road, and it was a little Taoist priest who came running, and Sister Xuanji asked what was wrong.

The little Taoist priest said, "The ghost inside has appeared, let me come here to protect my uncle." ”

At this moment I saw a fire in the valley, as if something was burning, and from time to time there were screams.

Senior Sister Xuanji asked, "What's the situation inside?" ”

The little Taoist priest looked at the fire and replied: "This village is full of unjust ghosts, Senior Brother Xuan Ming is going to clean up all these ghosts, I am afraid that some ghosts will run out of the valley and hurt Uncle Shi, so I am called to come and guard." ”

I watched Senior Sister Xuanji bite her lip and didn't speak.

But I am very sad, these wild souls died here in vain, but I don't want to be wiped out by all the Dao arts.

After a while, the light of the fire became smaller, and the little Taoist priest ran in again.

I came out of the grass and said to Senior Sister Xuanji hatefully, "You are really hateful, why do you want to kill them all." ”

Senior Sister Xuanji's expression was very solemn, and she said to me: "You are just a fool in the mountains, and you have never seen many vicious things." Do you know that the outside world is a hundred times more vicious? In the eyes of many people, these ghosts are nothing more than mustards, thorns, and mosquitoes that stand in their way. ”

I was angry, but I was helpless, and then I remembered the sentence in the Tao Te Ching:

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.

In the eyes of some people, the world is just ants.
