Chapter 12: Delirium and the Mountain God
In my life, I have never seen such a ghost with bad intentions,
I secretly regret how I trusted the man in white so stupidly at that time, and now, there is still a way to come there, I am afraid, everything is just a trick directed and acted by him to confuse my heart.
I ran as close to the stone wall as I could, and even as I ran as hard as I could, the sound was getting closer and closer, and at first I didn't dare to look back, but soon, a huge rock lay in front of me, diagonally in the middle of a river.
At this time, the laughter behind me was still approaching, and there was no way ahead, so I had to slow down, only to hear that the laughter also slowed down, and slowly became like a whimper.
I was afraid of being very angry, so I turned my heart sideways, thinking that the big deal was just death, and when I turned around, I stretched out my slap and slapped it back.
…… But there was nothing behind it, and even the voice disappeared in an instant.
My heart was cold, my legs were a little weak, and I almost couldn't stand on my feet and wanted to lean against the big rock behind me, but at this time, there was something to snuggle up to and comfort me.
I was just about to lean in, when suddenly a cold wind blew, and a cold force behind me pushed me forward, and I fell directly to the ground, and rolled around the river. When I got up, I saw that the big rock that was blocking the road behind me was gone, and there was a deep pit.
Just now, almost half of my feet were about to step into it, and the pit was bottomless, and if I fell, I would definitely die. I picked up a quick stone and threw it down, but I couldn't hear the response for a long time.
I was already drenched in cold sweat, and I hadn't had such a big emotional upheaval for a long time, and then I was a little tired of it, and my body was so weak that I couldn't do it.
After a long time, when I wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the laughter just now sounded again, like a person's laughter, and like a mournful scream, as if it was coming from my ears. This time I heard it clearly, and the sound came out of the pit with the wind.
I turned a deaf ear and ran desperately in the opposite direction of the pit. With that terrifying grin, a man's voice sounded behind him: "Didn't you come to see me?" ”
The sound of his speech, word by word, weighed heavily on people's hearts, and my heart settled down a little, and he finally came.
"Mountain gods?" I turned my back to this and asked.
"Yes." The voice replied.
"Were you chasing me just now?" I asked.
"No, I just pushed you." The voice continued.
"So what was chasing me just now?"
"Chasing your ...... It's Ah Yu, a little green snake raised by this seat, your soul is special, and she wants to use your soul to resurrect this seat. But she never thought that even though there were thousands of ways in the world to resurrect this seat, but this seat was impatient, no matter how she was, it would be in vain. He said nonchalantly, his voice unconcerned about what the green snake had done to him.
"You ......" I turned my head, and swallowed the unfinished words back into my stomach, this mountain god was exactly the same as I had seen in front of that big mansion, and I even clearly remembered the way his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were slowly dripping with blood, and then slowly turned into that bloody bloody man.
Perhaps seeing my momentary pause, he said, "Although we still have more time, are you sure you want to continue to dwell on these useless topics with me?" ”
"Yikes!" I slapped it on the forehead, and suddenly realized: "You're right, I have to ask about the matter, someone dragged me to ask you about a person named Ning Yuzi, he is my second uncle, he disappeared in Yangjiapo twenty years ago, do you know where he is now, dead or alive?" ”
After asking, the ghost on the other side was silent for a long time, I wondered if I looked up at him, only to see him looking straight at me stunned, the affectionate peach blossom eyes seemed to have a gentle river coming, he seemed to be looking at me, but his eyes were so far away, as if through time, through me, he saw someone.
This look reminded me of the way he looked at the door, when he was as desolate and desolate as he is now, and it made me imagine how unforgettable the person behind the door was.
"Did you see anyone?" I asked him in a low voice.
He slowed down, opened his mouth and said in a melodious and gentle voice: "I don't know who Ning Yuzi you are talking about, but you have to say that twenty years ago, there happened to be a male corpse floating from the underground river to the white python cave, and since then, the soul of the male corpse has often followed behind Ah Yu. But I don't think that ghost has anything to do with you. You just saw it, and it's the white-clothed man. I couldn't see where he came from, he didn't seem to have anything to do with anyone, but he listened to delusion.
When you think of it, all evils are born.
He will be punished for his transgressions, and he will not leave this place until his sins are gone.
As for atonement, it is estimated that it will take a long time. ”
"You have a lot to do with that banshee?" I asked him.
"Have you ever heard of the earliest legend of the White Python Cave, the story of two snakes living here. I am the big python that is about to turn into a dragon, and Ah Yu is the little snake I picked up outside. I raised her for a while. ”
"Then do you know where the ghosts killed by the snake demon are?" I really don't have a good impression of the green snake, and it's really hateful to be as harmful as her. She wants to resurrect the mountain god, that is her deep love, but why should her deep love be fulfilled by other people's lives.
The mountain god continued: "Most of the living souls that Ah Yu snatched have become the nutrients of a thousand-year-old tree on that hillside, and under that ancient tree, there is something buried, a bone bead that my bones turned into at that time. It was to nourish the bone bead that she caused a lot of killing. ”
"That bone bead is equivalent to your bones, since your bones are on that slope, why is your soul here? She doesn't nourish your soul, what does she do with a pair of rotten bones? "I don't believe it, you're afraid that you're using the souls of those people to maintain your soul until now, and you're embarrassed to say it, so you put the responsibility on the green snake.
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard him suddenly smile relaxed, as if he understood all my thoughts, and said: "What you think is indeed human nature, and I have the responsibility to say sorry to everyone for this.
The murder in the lake, at the earliest, was because Ah Yu found that my body was getting weaker and weaker, and I refused to rob the human yang qi and gain vitality.
The underground river in the cave is connected with the center of the lake in Yangjiapo.
After I died, Ah Yu did not know that my soul was still in the cave, and she was disheartened, so she took the empty shell and went to live in the lake. But after a long time, she still didn't give up, and she still had the idea of resurrecting the shell with a living soul.
It's a pity that after I left that shell, I became one with this cave, and I couldn't go anywhere else, and I couldn't save those people.
And now, my soul is getting weaker and weaker, and if it weren't for the need to see that person again, I might have disappeared long ago. He spoke eloquently, in an unhurried voice that was completely unwavering, as if he were telling someone else's story.
I can almost conjure up in my mind the image of a gentle and humble gentleman through the fading ghost in front of me.
"And what about my brother? Sir says you can save his life, and of course, in exchange, I will do my best to do what you ask. ”
"Huh!" He smiled and said, "I can't find anyone, how can you trust me that you will help me find it." ”
I also thought about it and sighed, "yes, why should I? I don't have anything to rely on, but you don't have a choice, do you? ”
He bowed his head in silence, no longer looked at me, and only muttered to himself; "Peach."
"Momo" is probably the name of the mortal girl that Mr. said. As he pronounced the name, his voice was suddenly incredibly soft, and a love that was enough to drown spread through the air.
It turns out that it only takes one name to make a ruthless, high-flying god fall to the earth.
Seeing the state of the ghost in front of me, I couldn't believe that he would be a god who had mercy when it came to the life and death of all beings, but still had no joy or sorrow.
He seemed to have lost his memories with the woman named Momo. He said, "The peach is almost gone, and I still haven't been able to see you again." ”
I can imagine what a sad and tender love it is.
At this time, I was so curious that I couldn't ask him anything.
According to him, interrupting the memories of a dying man is the cruelest thing in the world.
Of course, I couldn't bear it, and I watched his stupid appearance silently for a while. Just then, there was a thud in the darkness, and right behind me, a stone fell heavily to the ground.
Ah Yu and her accomplice were here, and I realized this fact for the first time.
I knew that Ah Yu was dangerous, so I looked behind me cautiously and fearfully, but there was nothing there, and I didn't dare to be reckless, so I clenched my left hand and tentatively walked to the place where the stone landed.
There was silence all around, and suddenly there was a tuk tuk tuk footsteps in all directions, slowly approaching, both distant and clear.
I was suddenly shocked in my heart, and the surrounding area was cold, and the mountain god's voice said anxiously: "Keep going, don't look back, help me find the peach, and when you come back, your brother will be safe." ”
I ran forward desperately, the sound of the wind in my ears hunting, only to see the river floating in the river beside me, what I thought was hair just now turned out to be a clump of green bamboo leaves wrapped together, because the darkness in the cave made me see it wrong.
It's not a snake demon delusion, I breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, and the panic just now faded a lot.
I ran along the depths of the hole, and after a while, I felt as if someone was blowing cold air on the back of my neck.
"Hahaha...... Haha......" A strange laugh mixed with footsteps came behind me.
The feeling at that time suddenly reminded me of the time when my husband stood by the water and looked at me many years ago, his eyes were cold, and I was shocked, and I was suddenly cold in the dog days of the hot summer.
Running as hard as I could, I saw the light, and I measured the distance to the entrance of the cave with my eyes.
Soon you will be able to get out...... As the footsteps got closer and closer, I ran desperately towards the hole even though my legs were trembling.
It's fast, it's fast, the light from the mouth of the cave shoots into the hole, and a few colorful butterflies hover.
Three steps, two steps, one step......
However, it was too late......
