Chapter 24: Monsters in the Dark

【 .】,Wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

When the old monk said these words to me, the expression on his face and the look in his eyes were all solemn to the extreme.

That kind of extremely serious demeanor is impossible to make people suspicious.

Even if what he said was unreliable and sounded like a fantasy to me, my instinct was to believe him.

"You're referring to everywhere...... Do you mean it's free? I asked tentatively.

The old monk shook his head and said no, what he was referring to was everywhere, it was really everywhere, and that strange situation made it difficult for him to explain.

"Although I can't remember exactly what happened before, I probably remember that we found that monster in a cave, and the temple was built to suppress that monster....... "The old monk said in a low voice: "Although this place is located underground, there is no worship of disciples and believers, but the power of the temple is far greater than ordinary people think, enough to suppress the monster that was seriously injured." ”

"How did you know it was badly injured?" I asked curiously, "You guys hurt you?" ”

Hearing this, the old monk smiled bitterly and said no, he wanted to hurt the monster, but unfortunately he didn't have that kind of strength.

When the monster was found, it was covered in marks of cuts, large and small, and its qi was weak, inferior to that of the most ordinary demons.

"The monster looked strange, round like a ball, but there were a lot of burrs on its body, like steel needles, and many of them were broken, only half of them." The old monk described the monster to me, raised his hand and gestured to me: "It has many eyes, it is a circle, and it grows around its body, and those eyes are similar to human eyes, with eyelids and blinkers. ”

"When you found it, it was very weak?" I asked tentatively.

The old monk nodded, and said that it was because of this that the people present at that time would underestimate it.

"It's all a loss, a big loss." The old monk smiled bitterly: "Although I can't remember clearly, but I still vaguely remember that there are many people who have been washed by it, the long is a stick of incense, and the short is two or three breaths, as long as it is washed by its soul, the internal organs will fester, and there will be a lot of burrs on the body, just like the burrs on the monster's body, like a steel needle and an iron awl, breaking constantly." ”

"Isn't that monster badly injured?" I was stunned: "The qi is weak like that, and you still have such a big ability, so you will suffer a big loss?" ”

"The level is different." The old monk shook his head, his face full of frustration: "It is not a monster in the present world, some people have recognized it, saying that it is the monster closest to the origin of yin and yang in the primeval period...... No, according to Wu Xiaoshi's words, it should be called a creature. ”

Hearing this, I suddenly thought of the Nine Gods and the appearance of the brain monsters.

Indeed, as the old monk said, no matter whether those primeval creatures were seriously injured or not, no matter how weak their own qi was, they were still so easy to deal with us.

The Nine Turtle God is still a thing after the primeval period, and a monster like it, under the suppression of the black dragon, still tosses us half to death, so you can imagine how strong the real primeval creatures are.

"How big is that monster?" I asked, and according to the old monk's account, I began to slowly paint the appearance of this monster in my mind: "Have you seen its physical body with your own eyes?" ”

"I can't say exactly how big it is, it's not small anyway, it's almost .......," the old monk said, turned his head, and glanced around the hall, as if looking for a comparison: "It's half a hall so big." ”

"That's ........"

"You can see for yourself." The old monk smiled.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, remembering what the old monk said before, when you close your eyes, you will see that monster, and that monster is everywhere.......

"Close your eyes and adjust your breathing." The old monk whispered.

I hesitated for two seconds, nodded, then closed my eyes, and slowly adjusted my breathing according to the method taught by the old monk, so that my breathing was as steady and long as possible.

Saying that you are not afraid is definitely false.

After closing my eyes, I couldn't see anything myself, I was shrouded in darkness on all sides, and even the voice of the old monk was gradually blurred.

The only thing I could hear clearly was the sound of my own breathing.

Strange to say, between exhaling and inhaling, I suddenly realized that in addition to my own breathing, there was another breathing sound.

The sound of that breath did not come from me, nor from the old monk, but from a farther away, in the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers...... Someone was there.

When I realized this, I only felt goosebumps on my body, as if someone had suddenly thrown me into ice water, and the roots of my teeth chattered uncontrollably.

I don't think I'm too timid, especially after having the Flesh Gu as my hole card, my guts are much greater than those of Qibao and them.

But at this moment, I would tremble with fear just by hearing the inexplicable sound of breathing.

Afraid.

I didn't feel anything else in my heart but this emotion.

"You see it?"

The old monk's voice sounded coldly in my head.

I shook my head and said I didn't see it, but I heard it breathing.

"You follow the direction from which the sound of breathing came, and walk slowly over ......." the old monk said slowly, "Walk a little past and you will be able to see it." ”

I mumbled and said, OK.

At this time, my consciousness was not blurry, but it could be said to be very clear.

I could feel my consciousness split, one on the outside and one on the inside.

The consciousness outside is the "me" sitting in the temple, and the consciousness inside is at this moment, step by step towards the dark me.

If you think about it carefully, this feeling is quite like the kind that the old man mentioned, out-of-body soul.

After walking for about half a minute, I gradually felt something in front of me.

That feeling is not inexplicable, ordinary people will also have it, just like someone hiding in a room without turning on the light, you can hear his breathing, and you can still judge his location........

It's very close to me, maybe only a dozen meters, or seven or eight meters.

I gritted my teeth, suppressed the fear in my heart, lifted my feet, step by step, carefully followed the sound of breathing, and with each step I took forward, I could feel my heart pounding.

Suddenly, I felt like I had hit something in my head, and my arm touched something that looked like ...... Something like a dead corpse, with a putrid stench, and that peculiar coldness.

I looked closely and found that I still couldn't see anything, there was no light source here, and it was basically impossible to see things clearly.

But just as I was pondering where to find a light source, whether to ask the old monk for help, a faint green soft light suddenly lit up above my head.

When I looked up, a meter or two above my head, there were green circles the size of a basin, only the edges were illuminated, and the rest was black, like many glowing, irregular rings.......

I looked at the dark green circles of light, and my brain suddenly became dizzy, as if I had suddenly been drunk, my head was dizzy, and there was a sharp tearing pain near the back of my head.

Before I could figure out what the situation was, I just felt that Tianlinggai was slapped suddenly.

Suddenly, I opened my eyes and found myself back in the hall, still sitting next to the old monk, still in the same position as before I closed my eyes.

"It did it to you??" The old monk looked at me with some concern, touched my shoulder, and then touched my head, and the worry in his eyes became more obvious.

"No, I didn't even see it, I just saw a bunch of glowing circles......."

As I spoke, I subconsciously raised my hand, stretched it out to the back of my head, and touched the position where the old monk had touched just now.

At this time, I realized that there was a wound on my head that seemed to be cut open, and I could clearly feel the furrow when I touched it with my hand.......

When I took my hand back, I saw that there was blood on my palm, and there was a lot of rancid, transparent mucus.

"What's going on?? Someone attacked me just now?? I looked at the liquid in my hands for a moment, and I only felt that my heart was hairy: "Why is there a hole in my head?!" ”

"That's not right........ That's not right!! ”

The old monk was also a little flustered, his eyes were very scattered, and he was muttering to himself.

"There is a temple to suppress it, it shouldn't be able to harm people, how can it ........ Could it be that the temple is going to be uncontrollable?! ”
