To be exact, it is not the eyes of the bronze statue of the ancestor that are open, because the eyes of the bronze statue are originally open, but under the erosion of yin qi for more than half a year, they are covered with a layer of patina, which looks like they are closed.

So the so-called opening of the eyes is actually the rust and mildew in the two eyes that fall off instantly, reflecting a glimmer of light under the oil lamp.

At the same time, the cold fury that was about to pour into his heart was also suppressed in an instant, and the tide quickly receded.

In the entire range of the mountain bay shrouded by the yin qi, it suddenly began to boil like boiling water, and it was as if there was a giant beast from hell struggling underground, and a large amount of black mist came out of the ground, and instantly steamed up, dyeing the mountain bay that was already invisible to the five fingers with a thick layer of inky black.

In this large amount of black mist, the ghosts scattered around the grass hut were also engulfed by darkness in an instant, and disappeared completely, as if black curtains had risen from the ground to cover them.

The piercing screams filled with terror suddenly resounded in the mountain bay, and no longer caring about the coercion brought by the general's soul, the group of ghosts began to flee in fear, floating out of the black mist that was constantly rising and spreading in the surrounding and air, like headless flies, they only knew how to flee as fast as they could. Due to the panic, this scene came too suddenly, and many of them were immediately engulfed by the black mist that brought them great fear and continued to spread in all directions, as if a black beast with an indistinct shape chased after them with its eerie and terrifying mouth, as if it wanted to swallow them in.

Stimulated by the fear that the black fog was coming and spreading even faster than they could escape, the ghosts suddenly erupted into even more frightened screams, as if they were in gear, and they fled with a faster throttle, looming in the rolling black fog.

At the same time, the black fog in the sky had also risen to the height of the general's soul. Unlike the ruthless engulfing the ghosts completely, the fog, which was darker than the night, was about to touch the blood cloud under the feet of the towering and immovable general's soul, as if it had hit an invisible wall, and it could not be pushed up a single bit, and after a slight condensation, it was driven by the continuous black fog below, and rolled viciously in all directions, until it completely bypassed the range of the blood cloud floating, and then continued to rise to a higher height.

Although the picture is quite impactful, in fact, it only lasts less than five seconds, and it is completely surrounded and submerged by the rising black fog, completely disappearing.

At this time, the grass house is also facing the same situation as the general's soul. Although the inside of the hut was unaffected, the outside was completely surrounded by a black mist that was constantly rising from the ground. If someone had night vision and looked at it from a distance, it would be as if all of a sudden, the hut had completely disappeared from its place.

Disappeared along with everything around the hut.

The rising billowing black fog soon went high enough to the air, and then under the blowing of the hurricane, it began to spread and thicken to a wider area, gradually filling the entire night sky, covering the stars in the sky, and the sky and the earth were pitch black, extremely silent, and everything in the heavens and the earth converged into a sound.

It wasn't until the first half-fist-sized hailstone fell from the dark night, smashed down the asphalt road with a "pop", and bounced in two and rolled to both sides, that the dull and dead silence of heaven and earth seemed to be suffocated was broken. Then, as if the earth had played some kind of movement, a second hailstone of similar size swept through the golden ears of rice and sank into the mud of the rice field, followed by a third knock, which smashed into the surface of the Shidong River, and then the fourth, and then the fifth......

As more hail began to fall to the earth, the whole world began to speed up the beat, crackling, becoming more and more rapid, and it took less than a minute to hear the rhythm anymore, and there was no distinction between each other.

The whole world resounded, mixed with the sound of more and more vehicle sirens and the sound of windows and glass roof tiles shattering.

Everything on earth began to groan in this sudden hailstorm. Recite.

The old man stood quietly under the old acacia on the side of the road. Some earlier, he had been looking at the opposite mountain with black smoke billowing clouds rising to the sky, oblivious to everything around him, even though everything in heaven and earth had ceased to be silent, and there was actually nothing around him.

It wasn't until the first hailstone fell on the road a few meters away from my house that he woke up from his sleepy state and turned his head slightly to look at it.

Then more hail began to fall to the ground.

When everything began to groan under the ravages of this hailstorm. He knew he couldn't let this go on any longer. Now that the autumn harvest is coming, if we allow this hail, which is destined to not be small, to completely and continuously beat the earth, and the ripe rice that has matured all over the mountains, I don't know how much will be swallowed up by the hail, and I don't know how many farmers who have been busy and worked hard for a whole year will face no harvest.

So he sighed slightly, and looked away from the hailstone the size of a whole fist that had just passed through the branches and leaves of the locust tree in front of him, and fell to the ground with a few leaves, his right wrist shook slightly, the thickness of a little finger, only ten centimeters long, the whole body was white and flawless, and even the tip of the millimeter made of unknown information was snow-white, and the spotless pen slipped from the cuff and stopped in his palm.

After straightening his body slightly, he raised his hands slightly, and flicked the middle finger of his left hand against his thumb, and a drop of slightly crystalline blood landed accurately on the tip of his right hand, and then with a wave of his sleeve robe, he drew the pen in the air in front of him.

Quite mysteriously, as he began to wave the jade-like pen in his hand, the hail began to become violent, and it showed signs of abating in an instant, and after only ten seconds, it began to decay faster than when it came, and the noise of the hail raging on the earth subsided sharply.

After a minute, the earth was completely calm again, and not a single hailstone fell to the earth.

If anyone could see it, they would surely have noticed that the rain clouds were gathering and thickening in the sky, and at this time it was more as if they were driven by some kind of force, centered on the sky above the old man's head, and spread out in all directions at a faster speed than when they converged.

At the same time, the black clouds that rose from the bay of the mountain, after reaching the high altitude, also spread out behind the mountain, and no longer came to this side, and began to light up with lightning and muffled thunder.

When the old man stopped his pen and put back the pen that I had never seen before, which glowed faintly in the dark night, into his robe, the rain clouds in the sky had spread to a wider area in the thunder and hurricane, and could no longer form a violent storm and threaten the crops on the earth.

And after doing this, the old man did not linger under the old huai any longer, turned around and walked back to the house slowly.

It wasn't until he entered the courtyard and returned to the eaves that it rained unusually lightly.

Eventually, the rain continued throughout the second half of the night, and did not stop completely until dawn began to break in the east, and the water of the Shidong River also rose significantly, as if the heavens and the earth had just undergone a wash, and everywhere was fresh, mixed with a faint mud and rice fragrance.

At the same time, I was freed from an unprecedented, indescribably strange state.

Know what's going on, but don't know exactly what's going on. Looking at the bronze statue of the ancestor that has completely faded the rust and mildew, and the oil lamp that will not be extinguished because the fuel is about to run out, and the rain that is dripping and dripping on the bronze statue, it took a long time before I finally really woke up, and had a clear understanding of the past night, and quickly got up and walked outside, and then suddenly thought of something, and quickly stopped and turned around, bowed three times to the bronze statue of the ancestor who was being washed by the raindrops, and then turned around and walked out again.

Before I saw the outside scene, a gust of morning breeze, wrapped in the fresh air that had not been seen for a long time, poured into the door first, which made my heart and spleen tremble slightly, and there was a slight numbness feeling all over my body, only to feel that the cells in my body were instantly alive, indescribably comfortable.

Breathing in like a long drought and rain, he came outside, the dark clouds in the sky were dispersing, and a slightly dazzling white light lit up in the east, and at this time, the general's soul, the blood cloud under his feet had also disappeared, and he was standing less than two meters outside the door, and the old ghost Hou was often on the tuft of thatch, quietly looking at me, or at the door.

"You have finally lived up to your master's high hopes, congratulations." As soon as he saw me come out, he said lightly, still without any expression on his face, but his tone was diametrically different from when he came, and even all the time, not stiff at all, even with a hint of relief, a hint of softness.

As early as when he said the last sentence last night, I already knew why he really came, and as soon as he said this, I suddenly became more certain, and I scratched my head and laughed.

"Thank you, thank you very much. In short, I don't thank you for my great kindness, I have written down the general's affection, and I will definitely repay it if I have the opportunity in the future. "Because of the inevitable excitement, my speech has become a little incoherent.

"No thanks, Ben Jiang actually didn't do anything, and he was able to inherit the essence of the mantle of the master, relying entirely on your own efforts and creation, and it has nothing to do with me." It seemed that he was not very comfortable talking to me in such a tone, and after a pause, the general added meaningfully: "Of course, it is also because you are lucky enough that the general did not have time to do anything. ”

"I can't say that, I'm a hairy boy who can make you miss the general, and I'm willing to move here for me, which is already big enough in itself, so how can I say that I haven't done anything, this alone has done enough, in short, thank you very much." At this time, I didn't want to have any more verbal disputes with him, so I naturally had to pretend that I didn't understand what he meant by the second half of his sentence, and said flattering words with a smile.

It may sound a bit fake, but that's because I'm not good at communicating, and I can't say these things, but I actually say them from the heart. But obviously, this heartfelt sycophant was unfortunately slapped on the horse's leg.

"I thought that after half a year of Qing cultivation, but now I have comprehended the essence of the master and truly inherited the mantle, even if I will not be reborn and become a person who cultivates outside the world, my heart will also undergo some changes, and I will no longer be so vulgar, but I didn't expect it, but I would have thought too much."

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard a sentence that was not salty or light, and then smiled a little awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

In this life, no matter what, I can't be the kind of person who is pure and has few desires, and only pretends to be moral in my heart, after all, this is brought from my bones, and now I have a lot of worries, and it is too difficult to be that kind of person.

Perhaps, since you are disgusted with the vulgarity of the philistine, then stop talking about those vulgar scenes.

So after laughing, I didn't bother to say anything more, and instead looked around.

With the rain that lasted for half a night, Shanwan has returned to normal, because this rain is from the transformation of a large amount of yin qi forced out of the ground of Shanwan, although on the surface, there is still no obvious change, but it can also be clearly felt that those seemingly dense and strong, but in fact lifeless, never really experienced the wind and rain and sun of the vegetation, has begun to show some breath of life.

This will be their last short time, because as the yin qi that has shrouded them for most of the year dissipates, the yin qi under the ground is also forced out, and the qi veins return to normal, and they who have grown up completely in the erosion of yin qi will not be able to adapt to normal photosynthesis at all, or in a few days, most of them will die in the scorching sun and grow back again.

As for those wandering ghosts who have also been in this environment for a long time, as if they have regarded this place as their home, as the earth's qi returns to normal, they naturally can't continue to stay here, most of them have witnessed the drastic changes last night, and after escaping from the black fog rising from the ground, they ran away without looking back, and those who stayed because of their unwillingness, at this time, most of them ran to the mountains and forests to hide because the sky was about to dawn and the general's soul was still here, and only a few of them really dared to show their faces.

Among them, there is Hou Lao Ghost, and the first to arrive Lao Duan, Duan Yifa.

The latter stayed because he wanted to know what had happened this past night, knowing that I was not a ruthless and decisive person, and wanted to explain something to me. And the former, because he knew that he had stabbed a big basket, and it was not so easy to escape if he wanted to, so he had to stay and wait for the fate.
