Before Grandma had finished speaking, the person quickly entered the black forest, and before I could react, her voice was about to disappear into the darkness, and I hurriedly followed, grabbing the corner of her clothes with my hand like a coward, and carefully following her footsteps.

Although we children often hear adults talk about this place, we have never entered it, let alone me now, fifteen years old, and even adults dare not easily step into it. Just a few years ago, a widow in the next village accidentally entered the black forest while picking up ears of wheat, and when she came out, she went crazy, as if she had been scared away by something, and she looked like she was epileptic, and her hair was disheveled, and we children were so shocked to see it. So from then on, if the village dolls were naughty, they would be dragged by the adults to the side of the black forest for a circle, and after a circle, the dolls were so frightened that they almost peed their pants. Probably because I have read too many villain books, my definition of the black forest is that there must be something strange in it, and I learned to say in the tone of Mr. Feng Shui, that is: this place must not be clean. I can't say what it is that is not clean, but all in all, I am very resistant to this forest.

When I first entered the black forest, my first impression was that it was cold, just the feeling that the air inside was almost close to freezing, so cold that it was like countless poisonous snakes quietly hovering around your arms, rubbing your skin with the cold scales of their abdomen, and transmitting the coldness to you without reservation, and from time to time it seemed that you could also feel the sting of the snake letter. At first glance, I had seen the whole thing, it was the first time I had entered the black forest, and it was the first time I had glimpsed it inside: the same as what I saw outside, whether it was the branches, the trunks or even the leaves, they were all cold black, and it was terrifying. Looking overhead, the branches of the canopy were intertwined with each other, like a big woven fishing net, almost completely covering the sky of the black forest, dense, giving people a kind of imprisoned coldness. Only a little moonlight faintly penetrated through the thin slits between the branches, forming a few mottled light and shadows on the ground, but what puzzled me was that even though there were few light sources inside, I could still see the inside more clearly, and even, in this almost confined space that obscured the sky, it was much clearer than what I saw outside.

So I reached out and touched the heavenly spirit cover on my forehead, and looked up at my grandmother again.

Grandma still didn't look back, it seemed that she was just walking aimlessly on her own, I couldn't figure out what she was going to do, I didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, but I felt that her sense of mystery in my heart was getting stronger and stronger.

Cuckoo!

At this moment, I suddenly remembered a very small sound in my ears, this sound was very small, vaguely as if I was about to die, I don't know if I heard it wrong, but I can be sure that it was an animal sound. I looked up at my grandmother again, but she didn't seem to hear the movement, and walked straight ahead as usual. Maybe I heard it wrong, after all, staying in this ghost place is inevitably suspicious, and the nerves up and down the body are almost tense, and the slightest wind and grass will have to be all soldiers. I wiped the sweat from my head, looked around, and exhaled.

But before I could relax, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange shadow that passed not far from me, and disappeared into the bushes at one end. I quickly turned my head to look, but saw nothing but a few falling leaves. But this time I'm sure I'm not dazzled, it's a brown figure, fast, like a streamer being quickly ripped over.

Cuckoo!

At the same time, the previous sound sounded again, and unlike the last time, this time it was much louder, and it was heard very clearly, the sound was relatively low, and with a sharp tear, like the voice of a cunning child, if I guessed correctly, it should be the voice of a weasel, that is, the yellow skin in the mouth of the people in our village.

I subconsciously looked back at my grandmother, almost at the same time, my grandmother finally looked back at me, her brows were tightly locked, her face was still serious and terrible, her dark eyes looked left and right, and she lowered her voice and said to me: "Xuan'er, did you also hear something?" ”

I paused for a moment and nodded. Then he pointed to the place where the mysterious shadow passed just now: "Grandma, look, it's there, something rushed over just now, and it was very fast, and I couldn't see it clearly." ”

Grandma looked down where my finger was pointing, and she seemed to see something, and slowly, her face became more and more ugly. After a few moments, she approached me, bent down, put a hand on my shoulder, and whispered to me in a soft tone, "Xuan'er, concentrate and look at that place carefully." ”

I didn't know what my grandmother was asking me to do, but I didn't dare to ask, so I did so, and my eyes were firmly fixed on the place where the shadow had just appeared. At this time, I noticed that my grandmother's other hand reached up to my forehead and gently covered the position of my heavenly spirit cover, and then, I felt inexplicably that it began to heat up, as if the incense ash that had just been applied to it had rekindled, and the burning sensation made me panic uncomfortably.

"Don't move!" Grandma scolded me severely, and the hand on my shoulder pinched my shoulder blade hard, "Keep concentrating!" ”

Grandma pinched so much that I was going to cry and call my mother, but I didn't dare to move, for fear of being beaten and scolded again, although my forehead was still uncomfortable hot, but I simply didn't care about this. So, his eyes were still staring at that place unwaveringly, his mouth was closed, his face was almost red, and it looked like he was.

Then I felt my grandmother's hand on my forehead gradually withdraw, and at the same time I began to notice with astonishment that wisps of faint brownish-yellow smoke slowly appeared in the place where I was looking at me, as if it were fogging, erratic, and seemed to be becoming clear and thick. When my Celestial Spirit Cover was fully exposed, I could see the yellow smoke wafting in that place, intertwined with each other, slowly wafting in the air.

At the same time, I also sensitively smelled a commotion: it was the peculiar commotion of the yellow skin.

Immediately after, I looked around me and was shocked! I saw that the air around me was all covered with that weird yellow smoke! It was like a group of lonely ghosts, and although the concentration of smoke was uneven, it was very dense, covering almost the entire space of the black forest! I thought of a word my grandmother said to me: demonic spirit.

"Xuan'er, what you see now is demonic energy."

"Demon?"

When my grandmother said this, I was immediately scared and trembled. This word only appears in my villain book.,The demon on the illustration is very simple.,The vague printing is not clear.,So as for what the demon looks like.,It's all up to my own whimsical imagination.。

At this time, my grandmother took the blue package from my trembling hand, and while taking something inside, she continued to explain to me: "Demon is an ancient Chinese creature, their appearance is strange, it can be seen by the naked eye, but most of the demon whereabouts are mysterious, people are generally difficult to notice, and the demon is the breath of the demon, but if you want to see these demon qi, you have to open the heavenly eye hidden in the heavenly spirit cover, there are many ways to open the heavenly eye, such as I smeared incense ash on your forehead before coming in, That's one of them. Being able to see the demonic energy clearly allows us to better guard against the whereabouts of the demon, and remember, the place where the demonic energy seems to be the strongest is often the place where the demon's hiding place is. ”

When grandma said this, I knew a lot better, but I was even more scared, looking at the yellow demonic aura that was permeating the surroundings, grinning and almost crying to grandma: "Grandma, why are you taking me to see this thing?" Let's go back quickly, this thing is weird, maybe our grandparents and grandchildren will swallow it by then. ”

Grandma raised her head and glared at me fiercely: "Fart! I'm bolder than you when I catch a turtle from the bottom of the sea! How can you have a timid and fearful grandson, if it weren't for leaving incense for my Xu family, I would have left you down to feed this yellow-skinned demon. ”

Although I knew that my grandmother was scaring me, I was still afraid that I was about to pee my pants, shivering, feeling sour in my abdomen, and my bladder was also heavy and uncomfortable. I clung to my grandmother's sleeve, for fear that the old man would leave me alone in a single step.

At this time, after the blue package was poured for a while, the grandmother finally took out two bundles of red. This rope is thicker, red and bright, similar to the head rope of the women in our village, but the difference is that there are also square and round peach wood beads and jade pieces on it, shaking with silver shining white light. My grandmother tied one of them to my left wrist, and the other one to her hand in the same position.

"This thing is called a demon avoidance rope, and it is a unique magic weapon to ward off evil spirits. Take the red rope and string it with peach wood and jade pieces, soak it in a porcelain bowl with morning dewdrops, add salt and fragrant ash until it dries naturally. The dew is the essence of the morning, the sex is water, add salt, and the soaked magic vessel will have spirituality, and it will be pervasive after turning into water. The incense ash is burned, and the sex is fire, which can destroy demons and ghosts. The porcelain bowl is fired, which is earthy and can accommodate all things. The jade block is in the Bagua Eight Palaces, which is a thing of the Buddhist family, mild in nature, gold in nature, based on compassion and evil, and avoids evil. Peach wood is a ghost wood, sex wood, cutting evil and controlling ghosts. And this demon avoidance rope gathers the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the little demon does not invade, and the big demon does not avoid it. ”

Then, my grandmother patted my head and motioned for me to follow her closely, and I didn't dare to relax at all, so I followed her closely, my eyes were staring at my grandmother's back, and I didn't dare to glance at the sides, even if I could still see a few faint wisps of demonic energy.

I don't know where my grandmother is going to take me, or if she is moving as if she seems to have no sense of direction as before, but I also noticed that the demonic aura around us is getting stronger and stronger, and sometimes I often have transient tinnitus and dizziness, which seems to be a little uncomfortable with this environment.

The number of trees in front of me began to decrease, and the space and vision continued to widen, but at the same time, I was shrouded in the surging demonic energy, and in this environment, I was like a crab in a steaming drawer, and I was uncomfortable with the hot mist everywhere. As the concentration of demonic energy continued to intensify, I began to feel the movement of the demon-avoiding rope on my left wrist, at first I couldn't tell what it was, but slowly, I noticed that the jade blocks and peach wood beads on the rope were constantly knocking on each other, making a subtle sound, like the sound of teeth trembling in the cold sky. This seems to be some kind of reaction, as if to imply that he is not in a safe situation.

To tell the truth, at this time, I was already very scared, I was trembling when I walked, and I felt that a lot of seaweed came out of the soles of my feet and entwined my ankles, making me walk very muddy and watery, as if I had been filled with lead. At first, my hand would still grab the corner of my grandmother's back from time to time, but slowly, I don't know if my grandmother walked fast or slowly, and I often opened a short distance from her old man, but it was still in the limited field of vision that I could see. But maybe it's because I'm a little sleepy, and my whole thinking has become a little slack, until I finally found that my grandmother was gone.

When I saw my grandmother disappear from my vision, my eyes suddenly widened, and I found that all around me were confused patches of scattered demonic energy, and a few sparse branches of trees with teeth and claws. I was stunned for a moment, and then I cried and my face was as wrinkled as a bitter melon, and I wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, so I hummed and chirped. Ever since I was a child, I have hardly ever been out of the house, let alone anything lost, so in the face of this situation, I just walked around stupidly, with no clue at all, and my mind was almost blank.

Actually, I don't know how I grew up to fifteen years old, just growing a stupid person, not even as good as a girl in terms of mind or guts, usually going to the field to catch a grasshopper will make me nervous to death, let alone being alone in this weird environment.

I staggered along as I staggered along with my grandmother's soft cries, and the ground under my feet was already a little muddy, slimy and even more difficult to walk, and the humidity of the air became heavier, and I always felt a cold wind constantly burrowing into my armpits.

Cuckoo!

It was then that I suddenly heard the strange cry again, and the elongated tone was hollow. I was so frightened that I almost collapsed on the ground. Immediately followed the sound, but did not see any suspicious traces, and there were still layers of slowly floating demonic qi around them. I swallowed my saliva and stood motioning, straight from head to toe like a fishing rod, my eyes glancing in either direction, trying to notice something. It wasn't long before I heard a rustling sound in my ears, as if something was stirring in the grass beside me, and then I heard a pop, and I saw something rushing out of it, and I quickly looked in the general direction of the sound, it was a brownish-yellow shadow, as I had seen before, dragging the yellow demonic aura that filled the air before my eyes.

"Who! Who's where? I cowered and shouted at the position, my voice shaking. It was at this time that the reaction on the red rope on my wrist became even more violent, almost like it was about to jump out, constantly shaking, making a loud and clattering sound, which made me upset.

I have been staring at the gray air for a long time, and I have never felt any wind and grass, it has always been quiet, watching the demonic energy in the air continue to flutter, up or down, left or right, revealing an unknown strange atmosphere. This, coupled with the vibration of the rope in my hand, made me feel even more urgent.

"Who?"

I shouted again, my confidence was obviously insufficient, and there was a tingling feeling of paralysis all over my body, which made me have no strength to move even half a breath. Looking at that piece again, it was still as quiet as ever, as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and the demonic aura that kept emerging made me upset.

After almost a minute or so, I still couldn't be silent for too long in the face of this dead silence, and finally I wanted to shout a few more times. Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden fluctuation in the air opposite, and then he saw a figure slowly coming out of the darkness at the end of the distance!

I was so frightened that my heart was about to jump to my throat, I was so panicked that I didn't know what to do, my body seemed to be frozen, I couldn't move, even if I consciously wanted to escape, but my limbs were not at my mercy.

As if someone was holding me firmly on the shoulder, I stayed stupidly in place, constantly watching the figure keep approaching, and the beads of sweat on my brain kept falling. At first, the figure was still ten meters away, and in the blink of an eye, it was five meters away, and then three meters, two meters.

Although the view of the place here is not very clear, I can still vaguely see the outline of the figure, short, fat, with very broad shoulders, like two pampas fan blades fanning the wind and noisily approaching me. Slowly, I felt that this look was a little familiar, and as the distance between me and her continued to shorten, I finally began to see that it was my grandmother!

"Grandma!" I was so excited that I almost cried, and my body no longer looked like a tight string, and I completely relaxed. I ran straight to my grandmother and hugged her tightly.

"What are you doing? Scares you like this. Grandma seemed to see the corners of my red eyes with tears, and touched my head very kindly, and the roughness of the ravines in the palm of my hand made me feel very warm.

"Where did you just go?" I still snuggled into my grandmother's arms and asked without raising my head.

"Grandma was dazzled just now, and I didn't notice that you didn't keep up."

I tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "Grandma, don't come here, it's terrible, it makes me scared, let's go home." ”

"Okay, grandma will take you away."

Grandma's hand continued to caress my head, and I didn't know what was going on, when I suddenly felt some pain in my head, but I didn't care so much.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a slight shouting in my ears, as if someone was calling my name, at first I thought it was some auditory hallucination, but in the end, I could hear it clearly, it was calling my milk name! And that voice turned out to be my grandmother's voice!

I was stunned and didn't realize what was going on. Then I noticed that the demonic qi around me did not dissipate, but instead gathered even denser than before! Moreover, the demon-avoiding rope on my left wrist shook very violently, and the peach wood and jade pieces on it were like rice cakes in a pot, crackling non-stop.

I sniffed my nose and noticed the smell of yellow skin that permeated me!

I looked up suddenly, and found this grandmother I was snuggling up to, looking at me with a kind smile on her face, so kind that it was weird, and she laughed terribly. I didn't think about anything, and immediately got out of her arms, only then did I feel a pain in my head, and subconsciously touched it with my hand, but when I put it down, I found that my palm was covered with blood!

I looked over to my grandmother and found that at some point, the hand where she had touched my head had long hooked nails, very sharp, and the blood on them shone with a chilling light. She still smiled at me, and her smile was exaggerated, and the curvature of her mouth continued to expand, and slowly hooked to the back of her head!

Whoa! After a sound of weaving tearing, grandma's entire face was split in two with the corners of her mouth as a tear! Bloody fell to the ground, like a sparrow breaking its shell, revealing its other face! It was a hairy face with brownish-yellow hair, two wide, erected ears, and a long, pointed mouth with a row of sharp teeth. That's a yellow-skinned face!

The monster still looked at me with a smile:

"Come, grandma will take you away."
