Chapter 252: The Void of the Circle
I couldn't see who that person was if I was too far away, but the one who limped could only be Zheng Cripple.
We watched silently from above, Zheng Cripple went out of the room and locked the door, using a high-power flashlight to shine around, and once the light brushed our figures, Bai Dewang pulled me behind the tree and avoided it tightly.
Zheng Cripple was very vigilant, and after sweeping around, he didn't find anything, and then limped into the mountains on crutches.
Bai Dewang led me silently down the dirt slope and fell behind me not far away.
The mountainous area that Zheng Cripple entered has not yet been developed, there are almost no roads, and there are no obvious road signs, but Zheng Cripple walks confidently, not slow or fast. It can be seen that even if he does not come to this place often, he is very familiar with the route of travel.
After walking for a long time, the night was deep, and it was winter, and there was hardly any sound in the mountains.
The cripple came to the edge of the high cliff and sat down on a large rock to rest. Bai Dewang and I hid in a small forest not far away, staring at him closely.
Zheng lame shone a flashlight on the wall on the cliff, slowly stood up, and suddenly turned off the flashlight without warning. It was already dark here, and his figure suddenly disappeared into the darkness.
I was startled, and I was about to go out, but I was grabbed by Bai Dewang. I had to be patient and wait silently, and after waiting for about ten minutes, I couldn't wait. said softly: "Senior, Zheng Cripple won't slip away." ”
"This lame man didn't take precautions all the way, why is there no one who walks here, the secret should be in the cliff." Bai Dewang motioned to go over and take a look.
The two of us came to the bottom of the cliff and turned on the flashlight to see that Zheng Cripple was gone, and I didn't know where to go.
This cliff is high and dangerous, and the span is extremely long, it is impossible for Zheng Cripple to climb over, and the place where he disappeared should be nearby, in a place we can't imagine.
Bai Dewang went to the cliff root to find it. I stood not far away, remembering that Zheng Cripple used a flashlight to find the cliff just now, I followed his example, and also used a flashlight to take a photo, and this photo found a problem.
I shouted, "Senior, come and see!" ”
Bai Dewang walked over and shone a flashlight together. I saw that at the height of the cliff, there were faintly some scribbled murals, similar to graffiti, and I don't know who painted them. We look at them one by one, and these murals are connected together as if they say something, and many places are plausible, and we can only guess.
The main body of these murals is a figure of fairy wind and bones, his shape is graffiti, there are no facial features and no expression, only a roughly Qi figure, I can't see the age. This person shows many postures in the mural, sometimes punching, sometimes sitting cross-legged, and sometimes holding his hands to the sky, similar to the exercises of the Five Qi Dynasty. All in all, this person should be a master who cultivates in this mountain.
There was a fox drawn from far and near beside him, with only a figure, and no details were visible. No matter what posture the master posed, the fox was quietly lying on his stomach and watching.
The flashlight continued to shine, and the content of the mural behind it was a little weird, and there was a picture of the fox sitting cross-legged on his knees, with two paws on his knees, like a decent one.
We looked around, and Bai Dewang said, "It seems that we have found the right place, this is indeed the place where the fox spirit first practiced." Many years ago, there were masters in this mountain who practiced, and the fox accidentally saw it, so it became an opportunity for enlightenment, and he began to cultivate himself. After hundreds of years, the climate finally came. ”
I don't know if it's because of the cold in the mountains, my whole body shivered, like a pendulum, and I felt a very different atmosphere.
Bai Dewang looked at me: "Xiao Feng, have you never seen the original body of the elf cultivator?" ”
I nodded: "My great fairy is Huang Daxian'er, it is very secretive about its own flesh and never tells me." ”
Bai Dewang nodded: "The elven body is its ultimate secret, and all cultivation is based on this foundation. The elves will succeed in the future, although they can enter the world, but its original body has not been specially protected, and it will suffer all kinds of accidents, and some elves will be destroyed because of the physical body, and hundreds of years of Taoism have come to naught. So the elves are extremely careful with the flesh, and they have a natural distrust of humans. I really can't figure out why the red fox would entrust his body to the cripple Zheng, this cripple really doesn't look like a person who can be trusted. With the cunning of this fox, why would such a choice be made. ”
"Maybe it's because it's a last resort." I say.
"It's possible," said Bai Dewang, "there is a mystery in this that we don't know." ”
He used his flashlight to shine on the mural on the cliff wall, and he couldn't see why. I asked softly, "How did these murals come to be?" ”
"It's not human-like to paint so high. I guess the vixen drew it himself. Let's look for it again, there should be its lair here. Bai Dewang said.
The two of us walked back and forth along the cliff roots several times, but found nothing. Bai Dewang scratched his scalp and suddenly said, "Turn on your phone." ”
Just now, in order to track Zheng Cripple from being discovered, we turned off our mobile phones. I turned on my phone, and there was only one grid of signal in the mountains. Bai Dewang said: "You call Zheng Cripple and see if you can get through." ”
I raised my eyebrows, Bai Dewang really did things to win in danger, we couldn't find Zheng Cripple, so it was better to call him directly, and use this very extreme way to throw stones and ask for directions.
Bai Dewang told me Zheng's lame number, I tried to dial it, damn, I really got through, the phone rang nearby, but no one answered.
Bai Dewang and I followed the sound and walked over, and in front of us was a cliff wall, with no entrance or exit. Listen closely, the phone rings inside the wall.
Bai Dewang made a gesture and hung up the phone. He touched the wall, thought for a moment, and said to himself, "Is this the use of this?" ”
He opened his satchel and pulled out a thick, long, thigh-like stick.
I asked curiously what it was.
Bai Dewang didn't answer, and lit the upper end of the bone with a lighter, and suddenly a faint green flame burst out, emitting black smoke.
"Have you heard of rhino photos?" Bai Dewang said.
I chuckled in my heart, "I've heard of it, it's a legend, right?" If you burn the horn of a rhinoceros, you can see ghosts. ”
Bai Dewang laughed: "It's not about seeing ghosts, it's about seeing some unimaginable things in nature, mysterious and subtle things." This thing in my hand is a special Taoist method of the ghost hall, called rhino listening, not for viewing but for listening. ”
Actually, I already knew that there was such a thing in the ghost hall, but at this time, I didn't dare to reveal that I already knew, so I pretended to hear about it for the first time, and was very surprised, and asked him how to use it.
Bai Dewang took my hand and told me to close my eyes and never open them.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard a spiral wind blowing in front of me, "wooing" very strangely, as if there was a high-power blower within reach.
Bai Dewang suddenly moved, and I followed him with my eyes closed, and the direction I was walking was exactly where the wind was blowing.
In terms of distance, you should go to the wall. While I was still hesitating, Bai Dewang pulled me into the wind. The wind was blowing on my face, and it was bitterly cold, and I didn't feel the barrier of the wall, and before I knew it, I passed through the strong wind area, and the sound of the wind in my ears was fading.
Bai Dewang whispered, "Open your eyes." ”
When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a dark place, full of darkness up and down, left and right, as if I had sunk into nothingness. Bai Dewang collected the bone just now, turned on the flashlight again, and shone it around.
It's nothingness. There is no top, no bottom, no left and no right, and all the signs about the direction seem to have been taken away at once.
"Where are we?" I asked softly.
In a place like this, it can't help but make people lower their voices. Bai Dewang said in a low voice: "Rhino Hearing can break the void phase of the magic array, we have passed through the cliff, I estimate that this should be the nest where the red fox is hiding." You take out the phone and call Zheng Cripple again. ”
I pulled out my phone, and the screen was glowing green. I was stunned, just now outside the cliff, the signal was extremely weak, only one bar. But when I got here, it turned out to be a full signal!
I look at Bai Dewang, it's suffocating here. I took a deep breath and dialed over, and in the distance ahead, a bell rang, which was the phone of Zheng Cripple.
"Why didn't he take it?" I hung up the phone and asked in confusion.
Bai Dewang shook his head.
We flashed our flashlights to the place where the bell rang, and we couldn't see anything.
Bai Dewang walked forward cautiously, and I followed closely behind, and after walking a short distance, a large amount of white cotton wool suddenly floated out of the darkness, and I don't know what it was, as if it was snowing in the dark night out of thin air.
I stared closely at Bai Dewang, who was one step ahead.
In this ghost place, there was no reference at all when the flashlight was illuminated in the past, and there was no reflection, except that black was black, which caused considerable psychological pressure.
The only thing I can count on is Bai Dewang, and in such a dark situation, it is easy to lose him. If he loses it, I have a strong premonition that I'm afraid I'll be stuck here and never get out again.
