At night, I lay in bed and thought about it again and again, but decided to go down and have a look.

Yes, it has to go down again.

There must be something else in the water.

I had insomnia for most of the night, and I finally fell asleep when suddenly there was a scream outside.

As soon as I was excited, I put on my coat and ran out, colliding with Huang Shanjun and the three of them in the courtyard, and it was obvious that they were also awakened by fright.

Huang Shanjun said: "It's the voice from the village. ”

The four of us hurried to the village, and as soon as we got out of the courtyard, Dayong's mother ran over in a panic, and her hands were covered with blood.

When she saw us, she hid behind us and said, "Dayong is crazy, he is going to kill me and his father." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, I saw Dayong running over with a kitchen knife, his face was fierce, looking at his mother like a stranger, and said, "What are you running, come down and accompany me, don't you love me?" Come and stay with me. ”

My heart was shocked, this voice was still brave, but the demeanor was obviously different from what we had seen before.

Zheng Huanying immediately took out a piece of talisman paper, chanted a spell to raise the momentum, and then threw it towards Dayong.

Dayong actually took the initiative to catch the rune paper, sneered and tore the rune paper into pieces, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, and swallowed it directly.

I was shocked, I was not afraid of Fu, that means he is a living person, is he really mentally problematic?

The rune paper is not good, Huang Shanjun went directly, and few people were his opponents in terms of skill, so he tied Dayong with a rope in a few clicks.

Dayong struggled desperately, angrily shouting at his mother: "You don't hurt me? Why don't you come and stay with me? ”

Dayong's mother's face was pale, and her face was full of tears.

When Dayong struggled, his arm was broken by the rope, I looked at his wound, my eyes shrank, I walked to him to take a closer look, and suddenly my heart chuckled, "He has no blood." ”

I pressed down on his arm, looked at the normal skin, asked Huang Shanjun for a knife, and cut a small wound, after the skin was cut, the red meat inside was exposed, and the skin on both sides of the wound turned out, looking like blistered pork.

And not a drop of blood came out.

Zheng Huanying walked up to him with a solemn face, tried it with various Taoist tools such as rune paper, and said, "Strange, I still can't see that he is a dead man." ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "Maybe our rune paper dao device and even our own ability to look dirty and look at the appearance has long been useless on the island or even on the way here, this island is not without problems, the problem is very big, but we can't see it." ”

Zheng Huanying and Fan Rou glanced at each other, nodded after a moment, and said, "It's really possible." ”

I turned my head to look at Dayong's mother, "You tell us the truth, do you know that Dayong had an accident?" ”

She sat down on the ground, staring at Dayong, who was still roaring madly, and after a moment, nodded slowly.

"What the hell is going on?" Fan Rou asked coldly.

Dayong's mother cried and said: "Dayong is working outside, after the Spring Festival last year, he took a boat to leave the island, we didn't have a boat here that day, he had to drive his own boat to the nearest big island from us, he was happy to go that day, but until dark, I and his father did not receive his call, and he couldn't get through, the next day his father went to the big island to ask only to know that Dayong went to the island at all, and he disappeared like this." ”

"And how did he come back?" I asked with a frown.

Dayong's mother smiled bitterly and said: "I begged to come back, in fact, we don't have a forbidden water period, it's me who is talking nonsense, we really spread the Buddha Island, when I was young, the old people on the island said that our island is Buddha Island, which means that the island was dragged up by the Buddha, and there is a big Buddha under our island to protect us, so we will go to the other side of the island to put on the other side of the island to make offerings." ”

Speaking of this, her face began to turn pale: "Dayong has been missing for more than a year, I don't know whether I live or die, I really have no way to go to the other side of the island, ask the Buddha to bless him, on the night I finished the confession, I had a dream, there was a voice in the dream asked me, do you want my son to come back, of course I said yes, who knows that three days later Dayong will come back in the boat, wearing the clothes that left at that time."

"I thought it was the manifestation of the Buddha, who knew that within a few days Dayong began to go crazy, but I thought that even if he was crazy, it was better than death, so I also said the rest, still take good care of him, who knew that he suddenly took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen tonight, and cut off his father's head without paying attention, and came to kill me, I ......" Dayong's mother cried silently.

I was shocked when I heard it, and remembered the word: killing.

When a son kills his father, he kills him.

"The big Buddha you are talking about, have the people on the island seen it?" Zheng Huanying asked.

Dayong's mother replied: "Someone of the older generation has seen it, it is the old man Song who lives alone in the west of the village, and he has seen it. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Dayong suddenly straightened up, stiffened, and stared at the outside of the village, and I followed his gaze and happened to see the beach where I had gone to the island.

I asked Huang Shanjun to look at Dayong, and walked cautiously forward for a while, and found that a series of footprints appeared on the sea, and the toes were pointing at me, obviously walking out of the sea.

I couldn't help but widen my eyes, and just as I was about to speak, I noticed that the footprints no longer extended forward, and after a pause, another pair of footprints appeared next to the footprints, and their toes were pointing towards the sea.

But the footprints that came out of the sea were deeper, and either the man was heavier or there was something on him.

The footprints that appeared slowly walked into the sea, and I couldn't see the person when I opened my yin eyes, and in the end it was the old physiognomy who helped me.

At the same time that my eyes were covered with a faint layer of blood red, I also saw clearly what caused the footprints, the person walking on the beach turned out to be Dayong, he was carrying a person on his back, I tilted my body and looked at it for a long time, and found that he was carrying his father.

I looked back at Huang Shanjun and found that the Dayong who was tied up by the rope was still lying straight on the ground, without any movement.

I chuckled in my heart and wanted to chase after it, but I found that Dayong quickened his pace, ran a few steps, and jumped directly into the sea, when the waves came with the wind and washed away the footprints on the beach.

"I'm out of gas." Fan Rou sighed and said.

I came back to my senses, hurriedly went back, and felt the artery in Dayong's neck, there was no beating, my chest did not rise and fall, and I was really out of breath.

Dayong's mother was stunned and cried.

We comforted her for a long time, and carried Dayong back home with her, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Dayong's father's body lying across the doorway, with a layer of skin attached to his head and neck, and blood all under his body.

The incident happened suddenly, and the coffin was not prepared, Dayong's mother wiped her tears and went to someone else's house to borrow two coffins.

Back at the accommodation, we sat in silence in the courtyard.

"Cong, what did you just see on the beach?" After a while, Fan Rou asked curiously.

I told them about the footprints I saw.

Fan Rou said: "It seems that it is really necessary to go to the sea again. ”

Huang Shanjun said: "I have contacted them, tomorrow morning will send two sets of diving equipment, it just so happens that these days are also tired, tonight will rest early, tomorrow the four of us will go to the sea together." ”

I nodded, got up and walked into the house first, and Fan Rou caught up when the door closed.

She stared at me and said, "Congcong, you didn't lie to us? ”

I felt a little baffled, "What am I lying to you?" ”

She looked at me for a long time and said, "Your father is the first phase master, and he has great skills, obviously he doesn't deal with the sixth master, but he lets you beg for a life under the sixth master, this is not right, are you father and daughter planning something?" ”

"Not really." I smiled wryly and said, "I haven't seen him in five years." ”

I didn't mean this at all, although my dad passed the news to me, he really didn't show up.

Zheng Huanying walked over and said, "Fan Rou, don't be suspicious. ”

"I'm sorry, I've been too nervous these days." She apologized to me.

I shook my head, "It's fine. ”

After Fan Rou and Zheng Huanying both returned to the room, I closed the door and lay down on the bed.

"Old Physiognomy, are you there?" I said in my heart.

For a long time, he responded impatiently, "Here, what are you doing?" ”

"Did you say the Maskless Mask was here?" I asked.

He said angrily: "How do I know, okay, don't ask me about this, you have to come to this place yourself." ”

I touched my nose and didn't dare to talk to him anymore.

I slept until dawn, and when I woke up, Huang Shanjun had already brought two sets of diving equipment to the island.

After breakfast, Zheng Huanying suggested: "Do you want to go to the old man Song mentioned by Dayong's mother first, hasn't he seen the Big Buddha?" ”

When I think about it, it's really easy to get into the water rashly.

Fan Rou and Huang Shanjun also agreed, and we dead people went to Old Man Song's house together.

Old man Song is over seventy years old, one-eyed, and his facial features are a little fierce, but his eyes are very gentle.

I can't see the face now, I can only see it.

Seeing us coming, he was not surprised at all, took a puff of cigarette, pointed at Fan Rou and Zheng Huanying and said: "When these two went to the island, I was thinking about when you would come to me, I thought it would be early, but I didn't expect that someone would come here in the end." ”

We are all a little ashamed of what he said.

"Grandpa Song, what happened when you saw the Big Buddha?" Zheng Huanying asked.

Old man Song glanced at me and said, "It was ten years ago, I was sixty-two years old, although I was old, but my body was not as bad as ...... young, every time I went out to sea to fish, I caught more than them, and my eyes were still at that time."

He babbled about his sixty years old for a long time, and then sighed and said: "But since I went to the sea with a person and barely came up alive, my body has not been able to do well, and the past ten years have only been a remnant." ”

"Who did you go to sea with?" I asked.

He said slowly: "A woman, she looks ...... It's kind of like you. ”

My back stiffened, and the four of Huang Shanjun also looked at me.

I swallowed, took out my phone, flipped out a picture of my mom, and asked him, "Is that her?" ”

This is a black and white photo I took from my parents' wedding photos.

He nodded and said affirmatively, "That's the woman." ”

I grabbed him by the arm, "Where is she now?" ”

"She didn't come out again after she entered the sea." Old man Song said regretfully.

There was a buzz in my head, and it took me a long time to recover, but I felt that something was wrong, my mother's body was found in the Seven Troubles River, how could I come here?

Unless...... It's her soul that comes here!

Old man Song said: "At that time, she came to me, saying that she heard that we have a big Buddha here, she wanted to see it, but she didn't know which direction it was, let me take her over, I didn't want to, but later I saw that she bid very high, just got three thousand yuan on the way, I agreed." ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Song looked at us and said, "Da Yong's mother should have told you that the legend of my island was dragged up by the Big Buddha, and what she didn't know was that the Big Buddha was located on the yin side, just like a person holding something, and the yin side was just facing the body of the Big Buddha. ”

"But before leading the woman to find the Buddha, I heard the old man mention it, and I didn't see it in person." He continued: "I led her to the shadowy side, I thought she was kneeling on the rock, who knew that she jumped into the water without hesitation, I was frightened, I thought she was going to kill herself, and I quickly jumped down, trying to catch her, I never thought that I would see a huge Buddha head, full of one-third the size of the island. ”

He stopped talking suddenly, and I hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" ”

He smiled bitterly and said: "I just saw this, my right eye was a pain in my heart, and then my head buzzed, I was unconscious, and when I woke up again, I found myself lying on the fishing boat, the owner of the fishing boat said that I was floating on the sea, he thought I was dead, and I saw that I fainted, although my right eye hurt, but I can barely see things clearly, a few days after I went ashore, the right eye was like the fish out of the water, gradually dried up." ”

Zheng Huanying took two steps forward and lifted his right eyelid, I went up to take a look, the eyeballs were really shriveled, the whites of the eyes and black eyeballs could still be seen, but there was obviously no moisture.

I anxiously asked, "What about the woman who entered the sea?" ”

He replied, "I don't know, she didn't come out again after she jumped into the sea, and I only saw the head of the Buddha statue when I jumped down, but I didn't see her." ”

After thanking him, I got up and walked out, my mother's soul must be here.

When he walked to the door, Old Man Song said, "You should find that our island is not normal. ”

I stopped.

He continued: "There was once a Taoist priest on the island, and he said that the reason why this is because of the Buddha, so he can't distinguish between people and ghosts on this island. ”

I chuckled inwardly and turned to look at him.

He sat on the stool, his expression was indifferent, he looked normal at first, but now he realized that something was wrong with him.

He was very thin, and it was easy to see the cyan blood vessels on the hands of an old man of his age, but he couldn't see it, as if it was skin against bones.

"Can you tell if I'm a human or a ghost?" He said slowly.
