In Chinese folklore, there are many kinds of legends.

The ancients believed in these legends, but with the progress of society and the development of science and technology, many legends have been dismissed as nonsense.

However, this is not the first time I have seen this old woman, and the first few times I have seen her, it is true that something terrible has happened to me.

The first time, I almost suffered a nervous breakdown from the illusion;

And the second time, if Zhang Xiaoyun hadn't reached out to help, I would have ended up with the same fate as Section Chief Yuan Wangzhou.

But the question is, if this old woman is not a human being—and certainly can't be a ghost, otherwise Zhang Xiaoyun wouldn't be able to recognize her—then what else could she be?

Could it be that in this world, apart from people and ghosts, there really is a third form of existence?

Like gods?

I don't believe in gods, and even though this old woman appears again and again, I still prefer to believe that everything is a coincidence.

What's more, Gao Lingkai is still waiting for me in Fangjiaao now, with my lifelong friendship with him, if this trip really encounters something terrifying, then I, not only can I not turn back, but I have to rush over faster.

Just as Gao Lingkai has never left me, I will never be able to leave him to save my life.

So I made my determination, gritted my teeth, and instead quickened my pace, clinging to the old woman's body, and squeezed in front of her. And couldn't help but look back and look at her.

The cloudy eyes, the wrinkles on the face, it is indeed the old woman I have met again and again.

Zhang Xiaoyun said that she is obviously a human being, but she is not like an ordinary person, and I feel the same.

I can now sense a special being, for example, Zhang Xiaoyun follows me, and I can always feel the cool aura she exudes.

But when I passed the old woman, there was no strange feeling that was different from that of a human being.

But since I can't turn back, I just go forward and don't think about it.

And when I walked about 100 meters forward, I looked back and saw that the old woman had disappeared without a trace.

"Xiaoyun, where's the old woman?" I asked immediately, and even out of surprise, I asked directly.

"I don't know, it's still there, but now, I can't feel her at all!" Zhang Xiaoyun replied.

Then in my head, an old and cold voice sounded.

"As I said, this old woman must be the mother-in-law who is blocking the way, her appearance must indicate that something very terrible will happen ahead, and you still have time to turn back!"

That was naturally Uncle Zhang's voice.

I knew that he was faking indifference, but it was just a cover for his shame.

I still haven't completely let go of his threat to Meng Xiang, but he kindly reminded me, and I still thanked him casually.

After another twenty minutes of walking, I was standing on a line of gray-black rocks.

Just as I was looking at the clouds rolling under my feet, Zhang Xiaoyun suddenly told me: "Gao Li, what my grandfather said is right, there is danger under this cloud!" ”

"What danger?" I asked her immediately.

"I can't tell, it's a terrible thing!" Zhang Xiaoyun replied.

She was a ghost, not a human, and there weren't many things I could remember that could make her feel "scary."

So I immediately asked her, "It can't be that white monster from the Eight Tone Cave running here, right?" ”

"I'm not sure! Because I don't know what it is, I just know that it's scary, it's not like humans, it's different from other animals! ”

If she said that, it must be that kind of monster. Because only that kind of monster can be called "different from other animals".

I don't know if the monster in the cave is the same species as the monster that once entered my brain, after all, I only glimpse the monster in the cave, and I don't see it very clearly.

As for the one that came into my brain, I only saw it in a coma as if in a dream, but in reality it looked the same way, I was not sure.

But I believe they look very close, at least they all have a pair of very strange eyes on the door of their heads.

It's just that the eyes of the monster that entered my brain can radiate some kind of energy, and the monster in the cave doesn't seem to have that ability.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to cut off one of its claws so easily in that cave.

And this "very scary" thing that Zhang Xiaoyun said, is it the monster that invaded my brain, or the monster that I cut off a claw?

I'm not sure about this, but I think if there really is a monster under the clouds, then Gao Lingkai told me that Fang Jiaao killed two families in one night, I'm afraid it was this monster who did it.

"Anyway, we've all come here, there's no way we're going to turn back! Why don't you go down and take care of me, and I'll climb down the rope!" "I told Zhang Xiaoyun.

Zhang Xiaoyun agreed, but just as I was about to tie the rope to a stone ridge, Zhang Xiaoyun's voice re-entered my mind.

"Colliers, that thing is hidden in a crack in the stone below, but I don't know what it is, and if it attacks you, there's nothing I can do to stop it!"

This made me a little embarrassed, because if the monster suddenly appeared and attacked me while I was crawling down the rope, I would not even be able to parry.

But I can't wait here forever, I don't know when I'm going to go.

I thought to myself in my heart, and asked Zhang Xiaoyun again: "In which direction is the monster hiding, and how far away is it?" ”

"On the left, it's about a dozen meters away."

"Then let's go a little further to the right and find another place to go down." I say.

Zhang Xiaoyun understood what I meant, and quickly helped me find a good place to climb about two kilometers to the right.

Not only is there a protruding stone ridge that can tie the rope, but according to Zhang Xiaoyun, that place is only eleven or twelve meters away from the mountain below.

I was afraid that the monster would find out that I had turned around and follow me, so I quickly tied the rope with my hands and feet, and then hung the rope down, and then quickly climbed down the rope.

In less than a minute, I had passed through the clouds and reached the bottom of them.

But at that time, I heard Zhang Xiaoyun exclaim: "Gao Li, hurry!" That thing is coming! ”

I glanced down and saw a white shadow flying down the uneven hill below, towards me.

Its speed was so fast that I hurriedly slid down the rope in a panic, but after sliding less than three meters, I heard a strange howl of "woo", followed by a white shadow, and the monster had already risen from the lower left, almost like a cannonball, and rushed in front of me in a blink of an eye.
