Chapter 137: Precise Walking
Chapter 136: Precise Walking
The tea dripping on the ground melted like ink, turning into several black round shadows. These shadows were infected together, forming the shadow that Grandpa was squatting just now. It seems that the shadow of hiding has gathered in those few drops of tea just now, and now it is just blooming the shadow of hiding.
How does Grandpa's shadow "drip" into the shadow of the house, and how does it return to Grandpa's teapot? I have no way of knowing.
The crouching shadow slowly stood up, repeated what Grandpa had just done, and lay back on the shadow of the rattan chair.
Grandpa's shadow is back to normal.
Later, my grandfather told me that all the changes in his shadow depended on the old rattan chair over there. Grandpa couldn't have made that kind of change on his own.
The green-haired water demon lost the arrogance just now, lowered his head and bent his waist, and "stood" there like a slave.
My grandfather and I were deceived by its outward appearance.
It swooped down on me and my grandfather just as we were letting our guard down. When the shadow of the green-haired water demon was about to touch the shadow of his grandfather, it suddenly turned into the shadow of countless fish, and quickly surrounded his grandfather's shadow. At this time, Grandpa's shadow was like a rice ball thrown into the water, chased and pecked by countless fish shadows.
I stood by and couldn't help. If the green-haired water demon was standing in front of me, I could rush up and kick it at all costs. But it's a shadow, and I can only be a dog with a hedgehog...... Dry in a hurry.
Grandpa danced his arms, and the shadow danced his arms to drive away the "fish" that were encircling. But as soon as the "fish" drove away and gathered around, Grandpa was afraid that he would be helpless even if he had three heads and six arms.
The "school of fish" launched a frantic attack. Grandpa finally couldn't resist anymore, and the shadow's face, hands, and legs were attacked by them. Grandpa's resisting hand retracted, covered his face in a panic, and quickly covered his arm, and immediately covered his thigh. Grandpa screamed in pain.
Just like the tengu eating the moon, the place where the grandfather's shadow was attacked turned into a jagged shape, uneven. Grandpa's shadow is being eaten by "schools of fish"! In this situation, grandpa's shadow will really be slowly eaten by the "fish".
Grandpa let out a loud shout and pulled out the black scarf from his sleeve. Grandpa chanted loudly: "The dark clouds are coming, and the moonlight is broken." The world is dark, and the shadows are chaotic. Then, with a vigorous hand, Grandpa threw up the black scarf.
In an instant, the sky changed suddenly. Suddenly a large area of dark clouds gathered in the southern sky, and strong electric light flashed between the dark clouds. The sound of thunder "stabbing lala". And in the sky above us, the full moon is still there, and the moonlight is still there.
The attack of the "school of fish" on the grandfather was even more raging.
Dark clouds from the south quickly spread across the sky. The sound of the rain is also getting closer and clearer.
There was a thunderclap, but no rain fell. Dark clouds rolled like smoke toward the northern sky, drowning out the mirror-like moon.
Soon, most of the fine-haired moonlight was obscured, and the sky immediately became much darker. The shadows on the ground were much darker.
Suddenly, I understood my grandfather's intentions.
The clouds were dense and completely obscured the light of the moon. The whole world was immediately so black that you couldn't see your fingers, and all the scenery was swallowed up by the black, melting into this thick black. I felt like I was in an ink bottle. Even if I put my hand on the tip of my nose, I couldn't see my fingers. There is no difference between the eyes and those closed.
Grandpa, the old rattan chair, and the shadow of the green-haired water demon are all gone. I don't know how far we've got.
I heard my grandfather say, "Green-haired water demon, you know how to use shadows against me, but now I have no shadows, and you don't have shadows anymore." Can you help me? ”
Sure enough, it was exactly what I guessed.
Grandpa said, "Liang Zai, let's go back to the house." "I heard the creaking sound of the old rattan chair, and I guess my grandfather lifted the old rattan chair.
"It can't hurt us anymore." Grandpa said, a hand grabbed me in the dark and led me into the house.
"That's it?" I asked.
"We can't deal with its shadow, but we can deal with its corpse. We put away its bones, no matter how powerful it is, there is nothing it can do. Grandpa said as he walked. I wondered how my grandfather could walk freely in such a dark environment. He jumped over the ditch under the eaves as he walked to it, avoiding the stone pier in front of the door and entering the gate. And I accidentally stepped into the ditch in the back. Due to the heavy rain in the south, the roof of the house is generally sloping and there is a drainage ditch under the eaves. The rainwater that runs from the scale-like tiles collects in this ditch and drains into other places.
There is a pair of stone piers in front of Grandpa's door, which are no higher than knees and are cubes. The top and bottom of the stone pier are smooth planes, and the four sides are carved with various elaborate patterns, or a strange tree with a man standing under it, or a strange mountain with a few wild beasts lurking. There was a collector who wanted to buy Grandpa's pair of stone piers, but the price was very high, but Grandpa did not agree.
Grandpa jumped over the ditch with precision and ease, avoided the stone pier, crossed the threshold, and entered the house. And I got my shoes wet in the back, hurt my calf, and tripped over the threshold.
"How can you walk so easily without seeing?" I asked. After all, there is a distance between the place where the rattan chair was placed just now and the door of the house. Although you know that there is a ditch and stone pier threshold in front of you, you should at least try to move forward, right? At least touch the front with your hand to see if you are touching the wall, right?
But grandpa can still do it so easily by holding the old rattan chair with both hands. This puzzles me.
Grandpa smiled: "Hehe, you blindfold me, I can walk in this village without difficulty, and know my exact location." Whoever you want me to go to now, I can walk with my eyes closed. It's not a trick, though, it's all too familiar with everything here. ”
"I see." I whispered, looking back to see the green-haired water demon behind me, it was pitch black.
"Watch out for the threshold." Grandpa said to me. But I tripped and fell defenselessly, and fell into the house.
"We didn't do anything, did we?" I said to my grandfather, "The green-haired water demon is still outside." We're just gone? Whatever it is? Don't save the child's soul anymore? ”
Grandpa said calmly: "I already know how to deal with the green-haired water demon, it showed a flaw when its shadow changed just now. There is no need for us to waste time here. I'll clean it up tomorrow. ”
As soon as I entered the house, the front of my eyes suddenly brightened, and the small five-watt light bulb emitted a soft glow. I looked back outside, and it was still pitch black, and I couldn't see anything. Not even the light could shine into the darkness.
