A cold sweat the size of a bean ran down my cheeks, making me itch a little. The creepy feeling seemed to stiffen my body, and I couldn't move.

When the sweat from my cheeks slowly slid into my mouth, the salty taste made me suddenly wake up and understand what was wrong!

There is no wind around at all, so how did this "rustling" sound come from!?

A ray of fire lit up in front of him, Zong Chu lit the candle again, and with the help of the firelight, I was shocked to find that all the leaves of the surrounding trees were standing up like the tail of a rattlesnake......

At the same time, through the gap between the dense leaves, we can see that there is a dry human face facing us in the trunk.

That face is not a face with skin and flesh, but a kind of face that resembles a human but has a non-human face formed by the lines between the bark.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

The lines on the bark of the tree changed, and in a shocking laughter, they became terrifying and hideous! The leaves shook even more, and I noticed tiny particles falling from above.

It's clear that these particles fell from these leaves......

"Cover your nose and don't inhale these particles!" Zong Chu said loudly.

I immediately covered my mouth and nose, but realized that it was already a little late, because there were already small particles floating above us all around us, which meant that we had already inhaled this thing!

"What's the deal?" After covering my mouth and nose, I asked inarticulately.

"Tonic proverb." Zong Chu turned around and put his back to me and handed me something: "Remember the pig, the council is preparing a set of cannons." ”

I didn't look at it and reached for it, but then it hurt to do it manually. It turned out that Zong Chu gave me a dagger, and just now because I didn't pay attention to my hand, I was cut on my hand, and the sharp blade of the dagger already had my blood.

However, after a moment's episode, he still took the dagger and held it in his hand.

I stared at the trees in front of me with wide eyes, and hidden in the dancing leaves were the dry and oozing faces on the trunks! A pair of ghost-like eyes looked at us without any dead ends.

"Humph......"

I felt that Zong Chu's body was a little weak from behind, and he shook his head vigorously as if he wanted to shake off the chaos and stay awake.

I hurriedly asked him what was wrong? Zong Chu replied angrily, and said that these particles were poisonous.

"So, what then?" I panicked for a while, what should I do if something happens to Zong Chu.

"Don't worry." gave me a reassuring pill, and Zong Chu took out a talisman.

"Royal Spirit Datong, Mingyang dispelling evil, sealed!"

Zong Chu took out the previous bell and wrapped it with a talisman, and then the bell rang for a while.

"Ahh

With a terrible scream, the forest regained its calm, the leaves rustled without shaking, and the twisted face on the trunk vanished.

"Let's go! This can't withstand the ...... for a while," Zong Chu told me, his breathing was heavy.

The two of us continued to walk into the depths of the mountain, and the particles inhaled by Zong Chu were really toxic, and after a while, he couldn't run.

"I'll help you." I went over and hugged Zong Chu's waist that was very wide for me, and one of my own hands was not long enough to play.

Let his thick arms rest on my shoulders, and Zong Chu's whole body turned upside down towards me. I struggled to move forward little by little, and before I knew it, my eyes were red.

"Zong Chu, don't scare me, where are you uncomfortable now? What do you need me to do to get better!? "Now Zong Chu is my only support, if something happens to him, then I really don't know what to do.

"Don't cry, I, I can't see you crying the most!" He muttered.

My body shuddered suddenly, and I had a very special feeling in my heart as if an anesthetic had calmed me, but it was quickly replaced by a violent beat. It's as if all the blood in the body is flowing towards the heart.

My face was against my chest, which felt a little hot through my clothes, and I wanted to look up at Zong Chu's face, but I didn't expect that he pushed me away at this time.

"What's wrong with you?" His appearance was getting more and more abnormal, and I was a little worried.

Waved his hand at me to ask me not to go over, Zong Chu covered his face with his hand, and his breathing gradually increased. I am familiar with his appearance, Liu Laohan and Uncle Li were like this before.

"You stay here and don't move, I'll be back soon......" Zong Chu turned and walked away.

I tried to follow, but he scolded me and wouldn't let me go.

"I'm really fine, it's just that I need some time to get the particles out of the poison!" He spoke without stopping.

"Remember what I said, light a candle, and wait for me to come back......"

Zong Chu's figure was gradually shrouded in black, and now I could only light the candle as he said and then insert it into the ground, leaning against the tree and waiting quietly.

I took out the pendant my father had given me and stroked it carefully. With the smooth surface of the orange-red firelight pendant, it has a strange luster.

"Father, mother, what are you hiding from your daughter?" I smiled wryly.

When I was a child, the children in the village used to laugh at me for not having a mother, and the family was even more strange and unwilling to play with me. The most serious time was when a little girl said that our family is all youkai and that's why it's so weird.
