Volume 5 The Curse of the Old Village_Chapter 345 The Ghost Eyes of the Stone Bell
At this moment, Wang Zi, who was holding the boat, suddenly shouted: "Quick, go into the cave." ”
After saying this, Wang Zi desperately supported the boat, and the boat also accelerated its speed.
For a moment, I didn't know what was going on, so I stood on the boat and looked around.
With the rumbling bell, I heard the overwhelming sound of fluttering again. The sound came from above, and I looked up.
In just a few moments, the situation has changed. I noticed that the light directly above where we were was had disappeared.
Losing the light, it became pitch black again.
But the fluttering sound was getting louder and closer. At the same time, I saw a dense red dot of light in the air. It's as if the night sky is dotted with countless red stars.
"Quick, flashlight." Wang Zi pulled his throat and shouted.
"It's coming, I've been waiting." Fat Dahai answered, and the flashlight lit up in his hand, and a pillar of light shot into the air.
The fat man held a flashlight and swayed in the air. The beam of the flashlight has a limited brightness, and it can only illuminate a small area in the air.
Even so, under the beam of the flashlight, I still saw a terrifying scene.
I saw an animal flying all over the sky, flapping its wings and flying aimlessly in the air. That fluttering sound is the sound they make when they spread their wings.
I recognized them as a bunch of blood-colored bats. Bats are all over the place, their eyes glowing red, and this is the red point of light we just saw. And the little light that was originally directly above the head did not disappear, but was blocked by the bodies of the bats.
And when our canopy was about to rush into the hole, the hole was already blocked by the bats.
Several huge bats landed on top of the boat and swooped down on us.
Wang Zi and Yumo had to wield the bamboo artemisia to drive the bats away.
But the bats, for some unknown reason, flew away and then quickly circled back and circled around our boat. The scary thing is that more and more bats are circling and then all flying down on us.
"Quick. Into the tent. Wang Zi's voice was already hoarse, and he suddenly shouted.
The four of us quickly drove the approaching bats out of the way, and each of us got into two tents.
Wang Zi and I got into the front tent, and the fat man and Yumo got into the other one.
One after another, the bats landed on the canopy, and the canopy made of bamboo strips was banged by the bats.
Wang Zi's face turned pale, and I asked him anxiously, "What the hell is going on?" Where did those bats come from? ”
"This is the Stone Bell Ghost Eyes, and those bats are an animal unique to this place, called the Ghost Eye Bat."
I frowned and asked, "Why are there so many weird here, stone bell ghost eyes, ghost eye bats?" What kind of name are they? ”
"Shi Zhong, didn't you see it? The water area where we are located, the surrounding mountain walls, from the bottom up, form the shape of a bell, which is natural
formed a stone bell. The bell we just heard was the sound of this huge stone bell being blown by the wind. This natural stone bell is usually silent. Because the air inside and the air outside form a kind of balance of air pressure. But as long as people and ships enter it, causing an imbalance in the air inside and outside, and forming a convection, it will cause the wind to pour in from the eye of the sky above and make a bell. I use the sound of gongs to open the way, and it is the sound of gongs that destroys the frequency of the bells, so that the discomfort of our body is relieved. ”
After listening to Wang Zi's explanation, I understood the source of this rumbling bell. It was because we broke into here that the bell rang.
At this time, the bats outside still did not give up, and they kept hitting the canopy of the awning boat, but fortunately, the canopy was strong enough, and although it was hit, it could still maintain stability. And the bats didn't seem to dare to break into the tent, but kept pounding outside.
I think maybe Wang Zi drove this special canopy boat to avoid these sudden things and deal with these unexpected changes.
Wang Zi listened to the movement outside for a while, calmed down a little, and continued to explain: "The bell of this kind of stone bell can attract ghost-eyed bats. Ghost-eyed bats, as the name suggests, have a pair of ghostly eyes that can see through yin and yang. To put it bluntly, you can see ghosts, and they are creatures that live between the two worlds of yin and yang. If you are targeted by them, I am afraid it will be very troublesome. ”
"Then we can hide here, can we get out?"
Wang Zi nodded: "My canopy boat, the canopy is made of bamboo strips of Dingshan bamboo. This kind of Joyama bamboo is more special, and patches of red spots can be vaguely seen on the bamboo, and if you don't look carefully, it looks like it is stained with blood. This is because Joyama bamboo likes the sun, and it can absorb yang energy, and the excess yang energy forms red bamboo spots on the bamboo body. Therefore, for some yin and evil things, it has a restraint effect. This Dingshan bamboo was originally called Ding Shankhut, according to legend, it was the famous general Xue Dingshan of the Tang Dynasty who bathed in blood, and the blood stains stained a bamboo forest, and blood spots were formed. Of course, this is all a legend, but the bamboo itself must have a certain aura. So I used the bamboo canopy to keep out the bats. ”
Wang Zi took the trouble to explain to me, and I understood why those bats only hit and didn't rush, giving us a chance to breathe.
I listened to the movement outside, so I said worriedly, "But it's not a way to hide all the time." ”
Wang Zi nodded: "Don't worry." They are caused by the sound of the bells, and the bells are ringing because of our intrusion. Now that the air convection inside and outside is almost complete, the bell will stop when the air pressure is balanced again. Bats will also fly away. ”
I listened to the outside, except for the crashing of the bats, the bell that had been lingering in my ears was indeed much weaker, and I couldn't even hear it if I didn't listen carefully.
And the frequency of those bats hitting the canopy is also getting slower and slower. After about ten minutes, the sound gradually stopped.
Wang Zi tried to poke his head out and look at it, then turned around and called us: "Come out, it should be fine." ”
I got out of the canopy and found fat
The sea and the rain also came out. Looking further into the sky, I saw that the hole above the light appeared again, and there were a few ghost-eyed bats hovering around.
Most of the bats had already flown out of the hole.
"Quick, we've been delayed for too long, hurry inside." Wang Zi commanded Yumo to prop up the bamboo artemisia again, and drove the canopy boat along the narrow hole to drill in.
I didn't expect it to be so difficult to find the stone gate where my grandfather was. Coming here, we have experienced several trials of life and death, and if we were not careful, we would have already died here.
I didn't know what was waiting for us yet, so I could only pray to myself, hoping that my grandfather's spirit in heaven would bless us, find the stone gate smoothly, and bring his soul back.
And this ghost-eyed bat has deeply imprinted on my heart. I thought it was just a one-sided relationship with them, but I didn't expect to meet them again in the future.
