Chapter 104: Saving people is like fighting fire
Lu Shengcai said: "Then let Yunshang go back alone, I will stay and help you." ”
I pondered for a moment before nodding at Lu Shengcai.
Yunshang still didn't want to leave, so I told her: "Hurry up and go to my master, if I and the dog are in danger in the Zhuangzi, the moment the master comes early, our lives will be more guaranteed." ”
Yunshang nodded obediently, quickly floated out of the door, and left the inn in the blink of an eye.
Lu Shengcai couldn't read sign language, and he didn't know what the person who had just come to deliver the meal said, and after Yunshang left, he asked me again: "What are you going to do in a hurry?" What happened to Wang Chuan? ”
I told Lu Shengcai that the person who came to deliver the meal just now said that Wang Chuan's cultivation was enough to leave Zhuangzi, but he had already been hollowed out of his soul, and it was impossible for him to improve his cultivation, and I guess that Wang Chuan did not leave Baiyizhuang either, and he probably went to the Black Swamp.
Lu Shengcai was still puzzled: "What is he doing in the Black Swamp?" ”
I said that Wang Chuan's human soul was pressed in the black swamp, and when his mind was completely in chaos, the human soul in the black swamp was like a lighthouse in the darkness to him, just like a ship in the night sea would use the light to find the shore, Wang Chuan would inevitably be lured to the black swamp.
Judging from the situation in the past two days, Wang Chuan at this time is afraid that he has already become delirious.
As we spoke, the two of us had already left the inn and walked towards the mountain road connecting the boundary monument and the village.
Remembering that Yunshang once said that whenever the villagers of Dugou Village wanted to leave the village, they would inevitably go to the entrance of the village first, and then turn back in a drowsy state, so I concluded that Wang Chuan must have walked to the vicinity of the boundary monument first, just like the villagers there, and then found a path that no one knew about and returned to the Black Swamp.
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why those people trapped in the village insist that as long as their cultivation reaches a certain height, they will definitely be able to leave Baiyizhuang, presumably everyone who is tempted by the black swamp walks the path to the outside of the village in the eyes of everyone, and then sneaks back to the black swamp quietly without anyone knowing.
Seriously, when I think of the evil in the Black Swamp, my heart trembles, and I only hope that we can find Wang Chuan before he arrives in the Black Swamp.
When we were about to arrive at the entrance of the village, Lu Shengcai and I were hidden, passing by the Jingtang, I saw a lot of people standing outside the gate of the hall, they were excitedly gesturing, discussing when they would be able to leave, in their eyes, thanks to my guidance in the recent period, their cultivation has made great progress, and it is not far from leaving Baiyizhuang and returning to Jingyun Mountain.
Seeing the excitement on the faces of these people, I felt an inexplicable sadness in my heart.
It was like a flock of lambs to the slaughter, excitedly discussing when the butcher's knife would be in his chest.
It was precisely because they were so excited that they didn't have the heart to take care of the situation in Zhuangkou that Lu Shengcai and I were able to avoid everyone's eyes and ears and quietly set foot on the mountain road.
When we entered the area shrouded in purple mist, the two of us didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly spread out and ran wildly.
While running wildly, I impatiently watched into the mist, hoping to see Wang Chuan's figure as soon as possible, but until I reached the boundary monument, I couldn't find any trace of him.
Lu Shengcai squatted down and carefully looked at the soil around the boundary monument, and after a moment, he pointed to a footprint on the land and said to me: "This footprint is new, and the size also matches Wang Chuan." ”
I quickly looked at the footprints on the ground, and then ran in the direction where my toes were pointing.
Wang Chuan's footprints formed a long mark on the surface of the soil, like a lead, leading Lu Shengcai and me all the way to follow.
But after not chasing far, the footprints disappeared into the weeds in the forest, and the weeds in this area grew amazingly, and as long as people walked in, they would not leave any traces at all.
Even so, Lu Shengcai could still find traces of Wang Chuan in this waist-high weed.
He pointed to one of the tall clumps of grass and said, "Look at the creases in these grasses, they are also new. ”
I gave him a push on the shoulder: "Lead the way!" ”
Lu Shengcai dodged into the weeds, and I quickly followed, observing the traces in the grass while dragging his steps and running, the speed was not slow at all.
Through a few woods, we finally found Wang Chuan in the grass near the field, at this time he was walking towards the front with hurried steps, the whole person has completely lost his mind, every step, his body has to shake several times, like a wild grass blown by the wind, every time he shakes, I feel that he is going to fall down the next moment, but his feet are like grass roots, firmly rooted on the ground, even if the upper body is swaying, but he refuses to fall, indescribably weird.
Lu Shengcai and I hurriedly rushed to Wang Chuan's side and held him up left and right.
Wang Chuan's eyes had long since drifted, but with those godless eyes, he was staring at the direction where the black swamp was, even if he was held by the two of us, he still kept taking steps, trying to continue walking.
Lu Shengcai called him: "Wang Chuan? But at this time, Wang Chuan couldn't hear any movement, and was still walking mechanically.
I hurriedly took out a three-immortal talisman from my pocket, condensed a mental power to urge the talisman rhyme, and pasted the talisman on Wang Chuan's back.
Under the influence of the Three Immortal Fu Lingyun, Wang Chuan suddenly stopped, but his gaze still stayed on the place where the black swamp was.
The Three Immortal Talismans can help him come back to his senses, but it will take time.
Lu Shengcai and I didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately dragged Wang Chuan out of the grass.
Originally, I wanted to drag him back to the inn first, wait for the master to come over to suppress the evil spirit, and then find a way to help him recover his soul.
But just as Lu Shengcai and I dragged Wang Chuan out of the grass and were about to walk towards Zhuangzi, there was a sudden noise of birdsong in the forest.
The birds in the forest did not know what they were frightened by, the birds chirped everywhere, and the large canopy of the forest also made a clattering sound, and the next moment, countless birds rose into the air, like a puff of black sand, swaying over the forest.
This is extremely unusual.
Normally, when a bird is frightened, its first reaction is to flapp its wings and fly away, rather than making a rapid chirping sound.
Before the flock of birds could fly away, there was an incomparably powerful evil aura in the direction of the Black Swamp, and as soon as it appeared, it passed through the cracks in the trees and spread rapidly in all directions.
Even Lu Shengcai sensed the danger: "It must be the evil in the swamp who discovered us!" ”
I was so anxious that I immediately straightened up and looked around.
At this time, we are too far away from Zhuangzi, and it is estimated that before we can take Wang Chuan into the village, the evil will have caught up, but even if we enter the village, it may not be safe.
At that moment, I saw a layer of white mist floating in the forest not far away.
In the mist, the spires of the ancient temple loomed.
