The lizard was not bigger than a palm, and its scales glowed white, and after breaking free from the tortoise shell, it scurried up my legs.

My face was green with fright, but I couldn't move according to Liu Sanshou's instructions, and my whole body trembled into one, but the four claws of this lizard were as if they were smeared with oil, and every time they just climbed to the position of my thigh, they slid down with a "sloppy" sound, and this happened several times.

And its head has been facing up, as if attracted by the fragrance in my hand, I can't help but think, all this seems to be in Liu Sanshou's calculations, is this thing a water fly?

But Liu Sanshou, I rolled my eyes and looked at the dense forest in the direction where he disappeared, and I saw that in the darkness, a slender bamboo pole was moving in my direction little by little, very slowly, as if in slow motion in the movie, as if I was afraid of startling the water fly, and after a long time, it finally fell in front of me.

Under the moonlight, the top of the bamboo pole was tied with a transparent fishing line, which was more than a meter long, and there was no fishing hook at the bottom, but a thumb-sized piece of lead fell in the air, dangling in the air, until it landed on the dark green turtle shell under the feet, and it seemed to be magnetically sucked up, and then the bamboo pole slowly shook up, and it rose with the turtle shell.

The turtle shell glowed with a faint dark green light in the moonlight, as if it was not ordinary, but at this moment, a white shadow flickered in the afterglow, and then fell on my hand and arm, I fixed my eyes, the water fly jumped up directly from the ground, the limbs and claws hugged my arm, the sharp claws embedded in the flesh, I gasped, gritted my teeth and did not dare to move, just watched the water fly crawl towards my head little by little, stretched its neck and greedily absorbed the fragrance.

At that time, the shell of the turtle hanging from the fishing line was less than half a foot away from my arm, and if I had pulled it back a little earlier, I would have been caught by the water fly.

Time stood still, and the cold scales on the water fly's body made me feel like I was in an ice cave, but the wound that had been scratched before had already begun to flare up, and the pain was so painful that I lost feeling in my whole arm.

The water fly is a poisonous snake, it is one of the most poisonous creatures in the world, I don't know how long I can last, for the first time in my life, it is so close to death, and the bamboo pole is also stagnant in the air, not moving at all, I don't know what Liu Sanshou is doing at this time.

Time was slowed down at this moment, every second was extremely tormenting for me, and the body began to change gradually while absorbing the aroma, the pure white scales began to turn pale yellow little by little with the absorption of the aroma, and then turned golden again, from gold to carmine, then from carmine to cinnabar red, and finally to scarlet, as if blood was oozing from the cracks in the scales.

The brain became more and more cloudy, and I vaguely seemed to see Liu Sanshou coming out of the dense forest, I gritted my teeth and tried to keep myself awake, but at the moment when my eyes regained vision, I saw a group of people behind Liu Sanshou.

The group of people stood in the forest, wet, staring at me expressionlessly, including Aunt Li, Da Zhuang, and Wang Erniang...... All of them were the unjust souls of Sanchawan, and it was past twelve o'clock, and they appeared again.

And Liu Sanshou didn't know anything about the situation behind him, his body was like a cat, quietly approaching me little by little, and at the same time, the body of the water fly changed again, and the color of the whole body converged to the head at a speed visible to the naked eye, and two small flesh crowns were gradually growing.

The water is already at the most critical moment, Liu Sanshou's face is full of sweat, but his body does not dare to move, constantly staring at me, I don't understand any of it, Liu Sanshou's face is ruthless and he is about to pounce on me, but he heard a sudden "whoosh" in the waterhole, a miserable white palm stretched out from the water, grabbed Liu Sanshou's feet, Liu Sanshou's face changed greatly, and his body fell to the ground unexpectedly, and was pulled directly into the water.

My eyes were red, and I opened my mouth to call his name, but Liu Sanshou's head was submerged in the water, and finally made a gesture that I could understand, that is, don't speak.

The surface of the water returned to calm again, as if nothing had happened, the water fly was not disturbed by the fluctuations just now, the shape of the flesh crown on the head became clearer and clearer, I held back my tears and looked at the incense that had burned to the end, and a sad woman laughed behind me, but at this time it broke the silence of the valley.

"Giggle......

The laughter was ethereal and long, high and low, but there was no movement after the sound.

I'd rather listen to the crow's cry than the mountain spirit's laughter.

After Liu Sanshou encountered an accident, the mountain spirit finally came to him.

The mountain spirit is a kind of hoodoo thing, no harm to people, but this smile, the changing figure of the water fly suddenly stagnated, and turned its head straight to look at me, the scarlet letter swam in the huge open mouth, the body bowed together, a puddle of white liquid shot out of the mouth, straight into my throat, the flesh crown on the head instantly turned into nothingness, jumped from the arm, burrowed into the water and disappeared.

Like a piece of red-hot carbon stuck in my throat, I rolled desperately on the ground with my neck stuck, and the sharp pain from my throat instantly swept through my body, and my first reaction at that time was: It's over.

I'm definitely going to die here, the only people who can find me in the deep mountains and old forests are the villagers of Yujiamiao, and when they find my body, I must be the same as now.

The severe pain made me gradually lose consciousness, and the ghost of Sanchawan didn't know when it appeared beside me, still looking at me with that expression, as if it was just waiting for my breath to take me away.

I grabbed my neck and looked unwillingly at the waterhole, and suddenly I saw a vague black figure coming up from the water, that figure was familiar, but I didn't have time to think about who he was, and my vision fell into darkness, and finally there was complete silence.

……

When I woke up, I was already in Changshengdang, my mind was blank, and I didn't remember anything.

Sister Yu's eyes were as cold as ice, and she turned around and left the moment she saw me open her eyes, I wanted to ask what was going on, but I found that I couldn't speak in my throat.

It wasn't until the fourth day that some memories came back to my brain, and I couldn't wait to grab Sister Yu and ask Liu Sanshou about his whereabouts, but Sister Yu snorted coldly, "If you don't lead the sheep, you will be killed by the sheep, he was killed by his own greed." ”

Liu Sanshou is dead in the end.

I sat on the bed and lost my mind, all I could think of was the gesture he made to me before he sank to the bottom, this was not the first time I had witnessed death, but I still couldn't bear a fresh life to disappear in front of my eyes, especially these days with him, which made me feel in my heart that his nature was not as bad as I had expected.

"I told you a long time ago, holding back the treasure and holding the sheep is to do things with your head, and if you are not careful, you will die unexpectedly, Liu Sanshou is innocent, you don't have to worry about his affairs, take a good rest, and prepare for the meeting at the helm of the thief door in half a month, and you will attend for the eighth master."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After coming back this time, Sister Yu's attitude towards me has changed a lot, I knew that she was blaming me for Liu Sanshou's death, so I didn't say much, and kept thinking about what happened in the past few days, the waterhole in the deep mountains, the village that fell into a slumber, the woman under the water, the water fly that turned into a Jiao, the hand that killed Liu Sanshou, and the black shadow before I disappeared consciousness.

Including how I came back, Sister Yu must know, but she is silent about this matter, and I have no way of knowing.

Yujiamiao is a very strange village, located in the deep mountain hinterland of western Sichuan, but worship the great god Nuwa, everything boils down to the cause of the earth temple, I have seen a lot of statues of Nuwa, but it is the first time I have seen a baby naked like that, and the baby ......

A flash of light flashed in my mind, I jumped up from the bed suddenly, and when I got downstairs, Sister Yu was already gone, I turned on the computer and began to search for all the information related to the Nuwa Temple, from the afternoon to late at night, and finally locked on a netizen post whose screen name is a string of numbers.

The post is a photo, in which a statue of the goddess appears naked with a baby in her arms, but it is much bigger than the one on the mountain behind the Yujia Temple, the outline is very clear, the goddess statue has slightly open eyes, and her eyes are facing the baby in her arms, and the baby is curled up in a ball with her eyes closed, like a new life.

I stared closely at the baby in the photo, the hand holding the mouse unconsciously trembled slightly, and the mud tire in my father's arms in Sanchawan came to mind again and again, and it was exactly the same as in the photo!

There is also a paragraph under the photo: Re-walking the ancient road of the Yellow River, I encountered a strange earthen temple, does anyone know which god this is?

It's just that this post doesn't seem to be followed by anyone, there are few replies, and it's not nutritious.

The time of posting was three years ago, and I left my phone number below with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, hoping that the landlord would be able to see it.

After I finished the incident, I called my father, but it was turned off, looked at the time, it was already more than 1 o'clock in the morning, my father and mother must have slept, I also turned off the computer and went back to bed but couldn't sleep left and right, and the words that Ji Zongbu said to my father echoed in my ears: If this mud tire opens its eyes, Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save you.

How could a mud fetus open its eyes, and if it did, wouldn't it become a real child?

In my sleep, a cold wind blew on my face, and I suddenly lost my sleepiness.

I rubbed my eyes and found that the window didn't seem to be closed, and the wind was blowing outside, giving me goosebumps from the cold.

I struggled to get out of bed and close the window, but then I thought, no, why is this wind so cold on dog days, and at the same time, the sound of water ticking behind me suddenly sounded in the room.
