Chapter 2: The Black Mist
The cool night wind swept across Xiang Huairen's wet body, even if Xiang Huairen was in a coma now, he couldn't help but hug his arms tightly, but it was this night wind that woke Xiang Huairen up.
Xiang Huairen opened his eyes in a daze and found himself lying on the edge of the lake, his eyes widened in fright, he sat up suddenly, dragged his ass hands and feet and took seven or eight steps back.
"Tut-tut, this little coward", Xiang Huairen looked behind him when he heard the sound, and saw that the old drunkard didn't know when he had made a fire, and his clothes were roasting on the fire rack, and the old drunkard was laughing at Xiang Huairen while drinking with a wine gourd, which was not the point for Xiang Huairen, the point was that the old drunkard was only wearing a pair of big red pants on his body, on the other hand, he only had a pair of SpongeBob SquarePants version of cartoon underwear left on his body, Xiang Huairen suddenly cried out in grief, "Ah~ Mom, Dad, I didn't protect myself!" I'm sorry for you! Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo! Ah~".
The old drunkard's tears were really flowing out of Xiang Huairen's tears, "Cry, cry, cry your uncle, you rabbit cub haven't changed, have you?" Poor Dao is to see that you are soaking wet, afraid that you will catch a cold, kindly bake your clothes, don't you see that your underwear is still there? No, the more I think about it, the more angry I get! Let me smash it again".
When Xiang Huairen heard this, he hurriedly said, "Don't don't, old drunkard, what you said is true?" ”。
The old drunkard said angrily, "Is it true that you can't feel it yourself?" Then he picked up his wine gourd and drank it.
Xiang Huairen thought about it after hearing it, he frowned, shrunk the chrysanthemum, and felt that there was nothing unusual, so he smiled and said, "Hehe, thank you, old drunkard!" That's right! Let's get out of here, what are we going to do with those ghosts coming up in a moment? The old drunkard waved his hand and said proudly, "Don't worry! Those water ghosts can't get ashore, and the momentum of the poor road is enough to make them afraid, hahahaha! ”。
Xiang Huairen muttered in a low voice on the side, "You just stood on the shore for a long time and didn't see those ghosts afraid of you", the old drunkard couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly when he heard it, "Hehe, that weather is good!" ”。
Xiang Huairen didn't tear down the old drunkard's bar again this time, and was about to get dressed, and slowly felt that there was a smell of wine in his mouth, and asked, "Old drunkard, did you give me a drink?" ”,
The old drunkard's expression was obviously a little unnatural when he heard this, and he didn't answer Xiang Huairen, Xiang Huairen seemed to suddenly understand something, and pointed at the old drunkard and cried, "Ah~ You still said that you didn't do anything to me!" Mom! My first kiss was taken away by you bad old man", hearing Xiang Huairen say this, the old drunkard couldn't help but blush and said, "Okay!" What is the first kiss is not the first kiss, that is called artificial respiration, and the poor way wants to ask you something serious."
Xiang Huairen saw that the old drunkard was talking with a straight face, and he was afraid that he would eat him again, so he didn't make a fuss and asked, "What's the matter?" The old drunkard stroked his goatee and said, "Have you or your family ever offended anyone or encountered any ghosts or the like?" ”。
Xiang Huairen scratched his head, "No, my family is a rural person who does his duty, it is impossible to offend anyone, I am also the first hell, no!" Just thinking about it makes me scared that I'll never come to this place again," he shuddered.
The old drunkard frowned and said, "It's strange, from your face, you can only see your life before tonight, but you can't see your life after tonight, as if surrounded by a cloud of yin qi, but it is certain that your future fate must be very bizarre", the old drunkard asked again, "Poor Dao is asking you, you were born on the twentieth morning of the second lunar month?" Is it your birthday today".
After hearing this, Xiang Huairen asked curiously, "Alas! How do you know? The old drunkard didn't answer him but said, "That's right, you may not sleep well tonight, to be precise, you won't live in peace in the future, today's ghost is just the beginning, you will often deal with them in the future, this is not a good sign, but this is just a guess of the poor road, strange and strange, the poor road has lived for half a lifetime for the first time to meet a person like you who can't see through the fate of the fate!" Poor Dao is very curious about you, how about you want to learn the Tao from Poor Dao? ”。
After hearing this, Xiang Huairen felt that the old drunkard was lying to himself, shook his head and said, "Forget it!" I'm in my third year of high school, and it's time to graduate this year, so I should have a graduation certificate too! ”。
Seeing that he refused, the old drunkard picked up his wine gourd and poured a sip of wine, and said: "Your eyes are also very strange, people can't see through, as if it has something to do with your future life, I just said that although the poor road can't see your future life, but it will definitely deal with ghosts and monsters often, if you don't learn the Tao, maybe the ghost will die that day."
Xiang Huairen blinked his big pure black eyes and said, "I have strange eyes? Yes! I saw the water ghost in the lake just now, is this the legendary yin and yang eyes? ”。
The old drunkard explained, "You just had too many negative emotions, so that you will attract the attention of the water ghost, so that he has a chance to confuse you, ordinary people want to see ghosts unless he wants you to see them, otherwise you can't see them, as for your eyes, poor Tao can't understand, poor Tao advises you to learn the Tao with me, so that you can also save yourself, poor Tao can also do a good deed, poor Tao can save you once but may not be able to save you a second time."
Hearing this, Xiang Huairen also said with a straight face: "Old drunkard, thank you for your rescue, although I don't have much money, but if you are useful to me in the future, I will definitely do my best to help, but forget it, I plan to find a job after graduating from high school, earn some money, and go home to marry a daughter-in-law and have children" The old drunkard was just about to say something, when the phone rang.
Xiang Huairen was stunned for a moment, picked up his clothes from the fire, took out his second-hand black and white screen mobile phone from his trouser pocket, I have to say that this mobile phone is used, and if it is blistered in water, the screen is only broken. Xiang Huairen pressed the answer button, and a lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hey! Brother Ren, you kid six! One is two consecutive nights of self-study! Cow break! Let me tell you, today's student union roll call, but I will help you shout, remember to arrange me when you come back! ”。
It was Xiang Huairen's best iron buddy Pang Guang who called, and he also knew that Pang Guang was joking with him, Pang Guang knew Xiang Huairen's family situation, so every time he went out to eat, Pang Guang paid money, and because his family situation was relatively solid, he took care of Xiang Huairen.
Xiang Huairen said with a smile: "Haha! Thank you, Brother Guang".
Pang Guang said from the other end of the phone again: "That's right! You remember to call Shen Chuchu, you are not in the whole self-study and she seems absent-minded, alas! I don't know what you're thinking, everyone can see that she has a crush on you, but you don't react at all. By the way, you don't have to buy dinner when you come back, Chu Chu has bought it for you, and I'll pass it on to you."
Xiang Huairen sighed when he thought of Shen Chuchu, Shen Chuchu and Xiang Huairen were in the same village from childhood to adulthood, and the relationship between the parents of the two families is also very good, especially when Shen Chuchu was ten years old, his parents who went out to work were both killed in a car accident, and the driver who caused the accident also died on the spot, and Shen Chuchu's grandparents did not get compensation, and life was even more difficult.
Fortunately, with the help of Xiang Huairen's parents, they often help to make the old couple much lighter during spring planting and autumn harvest, and the old couple also have the meaning of marrying Shen Chuchu to the Xiang family.
Xiang Huairen also knew that Shen Chuchu had feelings for him, but why didn't he like her? In the past, Xiang Huairen really had the idea of marrying Shen Chuchu and having children, but after living in the city for a few years, Xiang Huairen understood that it was not easy to survive in this society, he couldn't give her happiness, and being with her would only delay the future of others.
Thinking of this, Xiang Huairen shook his head with a wry smile and said to the phone, "I know Brother Guang", Pang Guang said again: "That's right! When will you be back? Let me tell you, it's already 9:10 now, and the dormitory closes on time at 9:30, and if you don't come back, you can only sleep on the streets."
Xiang Huairen was surprised: "Huh? So late? Okay, I'll go back right away", Xiang Huairen hung up the phone and got dressed and began to run in the direction of the school.
The old drunkard shouted from behind him, "Hey! Don't go, little bunny! I haven't said three things you promised me yet! Don't be a debtor."
Xiang Huairen shouted without looking back, "You remember my mobile phone number 1543693???? I'll go back to school first! ”。
The old drunkard sighed and said to himself, "It seems that this son's life in the future will be accompanied by ghosts!" It's really strange how can he be wrapped in a mist in his life in the future? Could it be that he has something to do with the people of the netherworld? Impossible! Hiss~", the old drunkard was looking down and thinking about this, and suddenly felt that the air around him suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees, and the lake was also covered with thin ice, and the old drunkard understood in his heart that this was not the cause of the weather, but the ghost qi or yin qi, the old drunkard lived for almost a hundred years and met such a powerful ghost qi for the first time.
Knowing that the other party was not good, the old drunkard did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly picked up the copper coin sword and compass in the bag, the old drunkard stared at the compass tightly, and the compass pointer quickly turned and finally pointed to the poplar forest in the southwest direction, "bang", the compass exploded in response. The old drunkard was shocked, what kind of ghost thing has such a powerful ghost aura, slowly the poplar forest in the southwest direction floated out a thick black mist to the old drunkard, the old drunkard didn't have time to think about who it was, sat cross-legged, took out two candles and put them in front of him, and took out eight pieces of rune paper and put them in eight directions, such as east, west, north and south, put his hands together, and read in his mouth: "People come to separate the heavy paper ghosts, come to the next mountain, a thousand evils can't make it, and ten thousand evils can't open the Chongyang Formation!" The candle rune paper spontaneously combusted without fire, and the flames reached a height of more than a cane to protect the old drunkard, and the old drunkard stared at the black mist, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
When the old drunkard finished all this, the black fog also floated less than a meter in front of him, and the black fog still floated forward, and when it touched the old drunkard's formation, it continued to float forward without any resistance, until the old drunkard was completely surrounded.
The "bang" rune paper candle was also extinguished.
The old drunkard was in a cold sweat, although the formation was hastily arranged, but his Dao technique was considered a leader in the Dao realm, why didn't it have any effect at all? How powerful is the other party? The black mist wrapped the old drunkard tightly, the old drunkard felt that his bones were about to be crushed, and the old drunkard opened his mouth with difficulty: "Poor Dao is the current head of Qingyun Mountain, Huang Qianxun dares to ask Your Excellency, who is it?" ”。
Suddenly, someone shouted from behind him, "Hey! Who set the fire and where? Suddenly, the old drunkard felt his body loosen, the black fog dissipated instantly, the old drunkard shook the ground with both hands, gasping for breath and was covered in this cold sweat, the old drunkard was shocked in his heart, just a look at the other side made him so embarrassed, but the old drunkard didn't want to stay because someone was coming, it was better to leave quickly for unnecessary trouble, he put away his things and just put on his clothes, and ran over two uniformed policemen, one of the young policemen looked at the old drunkard and said, "Who let you light a fire from here?" Don't you know that the city is now forbidden to light fires? Come with us."
The old drunkard had just been embarrassed by the unknown ghost and said angrily, ", the poor road has no time to talk to you", after saying that, he picked up his burlap bag and wine gourd and was about to leave, and as soon as he took a step, he smiled and said, "Hey, hey, hey!" Look at your police uncle, all of them are their own families, what are you doing? As he said to the old drunkard, he pushed away the black gun in front of him, and the older policeman said, "I'm sorry sir!" We suspect that you are involved in a number of recent cases of sexual assault by men in our city, and you have illegally set fires, so please come with us for investigation."
When the old drunkard heard this, he smiled more ugly than crying and said, "Okay! Good! "I thought to myself: Does Poor Dao look like a gay like that? But what he cares about the most is the black fog just now, why did he find himself, the old drunkard can clearly feel that the black fog wants to kill himself, but why did he let himself go? Could it be that he found someone who was not himself? If it's not me, who is it? pinched his fingers and calculated a hexagram for himself but didn't come up with anything, so he had to wait until he finished his trip to ask his grandfather, and the police put out the old drunkard's fire and took the old drunkard away.
Xiang Huairen trotted all the way to the school, and explained to the doorman before being let in, and when he arrived at the door of the dormitory building, it was already 9:40, but the door was still not closed, but a few police cars and ambulances were parked downstairs.
