Chapter 128: The Night of Loss
Yang Tiancong quickly rushed over, and I also ran to the grass where Xiaolan was walking in three or two steps, I didn't see a figure, there was a slope under the grass, and the vision was also clear at a glance, Xiaolan couldn't go downhill in such a short time, I immediately shouted at Yang Tiancong: "Old Yang, you face forward, I copy the back!" At that time, Uncle Leopard also drove the two dogs around to look for him.
This girl herself is very unpredictable, I always feel that she has bumped into some evil, at this juncture, disappearing in this old forest infested with hurtful beasts, it is really a hurry to die! I kept calling Xiaolan's name, but no one answered. I wasn't busy anymore, so I hurried back the same way, and not long after, Yang Tiancong also ran back, sweating profusely: "I didn't find it!" How long has it been, and has it really been taken away by wild beasts? ”
I didn't answer, closely identified the direction of the surroundings, to easy to count the hexagram, the girl belongs to the hexagram for the upper hexagram, from the southeast Xun side to go, Xun for the next hexagram, is the "Yi" on the twenty-eighth hexagram "Zefeng is greater" hexagram, and to exchange the number of two, Xun five, at this time in the afternoon is a little closer, it is noon, the number of noon is seven in the twelve hours, the number of two Xun five plus the number of seven at noon, the total number of fourteen, divided by six, two six and twelve, get two, two for the moving, is for the "Ze Feng greater" ninety-two elephant, "Yi" said: withered poplar shengji, the old man gets his daughter, no disadvantage.
At this point, I put my mind at ease and looked around, Uncle Leopard was really not around. Yang Tiancong saw that my face was happy, and asked, "How is it?" How's that counting? ”
I replied: "Xiaolan is in the place of 'withered poplar shengji', where is there a mountain nearby, if you find a place to grow food, you can find Xiaolan, but we don't need to look for it, 'the old man has his daughter, there is no disadvantage', it is estimated that Uncle Leopard has found her, there is no big problem, let's go and see." ”
Following the barking of dogs in the distance, we walked over, and sure enough. Uncle Leopard led Xiaolan out of a sorghum field.
But seeing Xiaolan's face was a little dark. I was shocked, walked forward, sank my face, and asked, "Where have you run in such a short time?" There are hurtful animals in the mountains, and you have an accident, so how can we explain to your mother! The dark purple aura on her face made me very confused, but I felt déjà vu.
"I, I. Brother Fang, don't be so fierce to me......" Xiaolan buried her head and grabbed the corner of her clothes.
"Your big brother Fang is right! Wherever you're going, you have to say hello to us! This is not in the city, in the deep mountains and old forests! "Yang Tiancong has the most impulsive temperament, but he is soft-hearted. Roared here, seeing Xiaolan's aggrieved state, she calmed down again, "Forget it, forget it, don't stay too far away from us......"
Uncle Leopard saw that the two of us were quite angry, and said, "Maybe it's no wonder this girl, when I first found her in a sorghum field on the mountain, she was dangling alone in a daze. It's like walking in a sleep! I called her several times. Patting her on the vest woke her up. It's weird......"
Hearing this, Yang Tiancong and I looked at each other, and each was shocked: Is Xiaolan sleepwalking during the day?!
"Xiaolan, you just ...... Asleep? I stared at her closely, and the dark purple aura on her face had slowly faded.
Xiaolan's head shook roundly: "I don't know, I don't know, after I untied my hand, I was just about to come back, and suddenly I was dizzy, and I didn't know anything, and when I woke up, I saw Uncle Leopard standing beside me......"
I looked at Yang Tiancong again, and he was about to say something, but I interrupted him and said, "Let's go, it's not too early, let's get out of Harrier Gully before the sun sets!" Pick up the pace! ”
Immediately, we packed our bags and continued on our way.
Uncle Leopard deliberately walked with me, and muttered to me: "I said, Master Tian, there is a saying in the mountains that 'hit the great immortal', what snake spirits, fox spirits, toad essences, weasel essences, these beasts are said to be able to cultivate into essence, specializing in confusing people and mastering the human body in the mountains, in my opinion, Xiaolan This girl was not offended by some great immortal at the beginning......
I smiled and said, "These are all legends, Uncle Leopard, you have never been afraid of heaven and earth, do you still believe in being afraid of these things?" ”
"No, no, of course not! Hehe, it's just that I've never dealt with a woman in my life, and with a woman along the way, I'm always afraid of getting into trouble. Uncle Leopard smiled innocently and stepped forward.
Indeed, a person with a pure heart like Uncle Leopard, who is not affected by the slightest exaggeration of the world, and has been accompanied by the mountains all his life, may be called a real birth.
It's just that Xiaolan's girl's weird behavior once again made me feel a pimple in my heart. I am also more and more suspicious of the troubles of the women of Yang Tiancong's family and his selfishness in inviting Xiaolan home. Just now, the layer of dark purple qi on Xiao Lan's face, which was by no means innate, strengthened my thoughts: Xiao Lan must have bumped into evil. Sleepwalking as serious as hers, especially daytime sleepwalking, may be the first person in the world. What made me even more strange was that I couldn't see anything wrong with her face.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, in addition to chickadees, squirrels and other birds and beasts, this old forest did not see any large hurting beasts, Uncle Leopard led the way in front, in the pine and artemisia grass stone path, our group of four walked very lightly, this ecological and harmonious world, by our four human beings a little stirred, for a while birds flew around, empty mountains smelled. See the wild flowers in the mountains and forests again, it is now the end of midsummer, and it is about to enter autumn, but the wild flowers in this old forest are still blooming regardless of the alternation of seasons in the world, Bai Juyi's sentence "The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom" The poetry suddenly floated in, urging people to reverie thousands, suddenly, and strange Li Yu's sentence "Lin Hua thanked Chunhong, too hurried", it is obvious that spring comes and summer, Lin Hua is still not old.
About three o'clock in the afternoon, finally through this dense old forest, into a barren mountains and mountains, and the perfect ecological world of the old forest is very different, everywhere but weeds, half a mile do not see pines and cypresses, strange rocks, teeth and claws, very vicious, but see this position, I have a sense of "war" ominous in my heart, this may be the battlefield of the Liberation War, or may be the ancient battlefield of the bloody war for thousands of years, in history, there must have been a confrontation between the two armies here. In the geomorphological feng shui, the ominous place of war, has its own situation, this barren mountain barren land, the terrain is undulating, the soil is soft and moderate, suitable for digging trenches, the strange rocks are dangerous and rugged, the two armies are facing each other, this kind of terrain is often seen, of course, in modern warfare, try to pay attention to hiding and covering, and will not fight on such a battlefield.
In the ominous place of war, the yin and evil resentment are the strongest at night, and people who are not strong in yang, have a cheap life, and are unstable in the heavenly court are also the most likely to run into evil when they walk at night here. Fortunately, it's still daylight. But what worries me is. It's already three o'clock in the afternoon. If we hadn't walked out of this barren mountain and the harrier ditch in front of the barren mountain before nightfall, we were afraid that we might have seen the scene of "hundreds of thousands of troops digging trenches marching".
"Uncle Leopard, how long is this barren mountain?" Yang Tiancong also clearly felt that the terrain here was treacherous.
"The road in this barren mountain is not long." Uncle Leopard glanced up at the sun in the sky, "However, it's a bit mysterious to get out of the harrier ditch before the sun sets, hurry up!" ”
"So, Uncle Leopard. How do you get back? "I think of Uncle Leopard leading the way for us, he himself is old, and his body momentum is not as good as when he was young, so he is not suitable for walking at night in such an ominous place.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'll also rush to Shipen Village. I have an old buddy there, go up to him and play around. Uncle Leopard smiled happily and continued to show us the way.
Xiaolan didn't say much along the way, not as lively as earlier, buried her head in front of us, naturally, everyone realized that time was tight and accelerated their pace. There are fewer words.
Less than an hour. The terrain of this barren mountain gradually shrank and spread out, gathering in a heap. Then it separates to both sides, forming a steep small canyon, and the canyon is still full of strange rocks and mixed vegetation, which is the harrier ditch. At that time, the Kuomintang Hu Zongnan troops and the People's Liberation Army Jinnan Border Region troops led by General Chen Geng fought fiercely here. Calling it a "harrier" is that this long and narrow valley looks like a harrier with wings ready to fly when viewed from the mountain. Later, a brave vanguard of the People's Liberation Army took the lead in climbing the steep valley and highlands, and captured it from a high level, giving the Kuomintang army a great setback, however, Hu Zongnan's troops had tens of thousands, and the People's Liberation Army was less than half of the enemy's army.
Talking, walking, unconsciously has entered the hinterland of the harrier ditch, gradually, there are fewer strange stones, and more trees, the natural ecology has begun to become complicated, and a look at the sun on the horizon, gradually to the west, look at the time, it is about five o'clock in the afternoon, and after one and a half minutes, the sun will set.
"Hurry up, everyone!" Uncle Leopard walked in front and stopped to greet us, "It will take half an hour to get out of Harrier Gully!" The sun is about to set! Keep up, keep up! Two young people, why are you walking so slowly! It's better for me to be an old man and Xiaolan! ”
Although the mountains are not as hot as the city, but now it is always the middle of summer and August, we started to walk this day early in the morning, and it is a rugged mountain road, and then in this barren mountain walked for more than two hours, my feet are sore, it is estimated that the blood blisters have been grinded out, and Lao Yang's body has just recovered a few percent, and he is getting tired and tired, but we two young men are complaining on the side, but Uncle Leopard and Xiaolan have no signs of fatigue, I and Lao Yang looked at each other, each smiled bitterly.
Looking at the sun and calculating the time, I slowed down and said to Yang Tiancong: "Old Yang, it is estimated that I am going to walk in this ditch at night." ”
Lao Yang took off the square Buddha seal hanging around his neck, held it in his hand, and said: "Don't worry, I have this in my hand, no matter if it is vicious, I don't dare to approach me." ”
I nodded, his Buddha seal was inscribed with a Buddhist mantra by a high-ranking monk, and it was extremely fierce to ward off evil spirits, and even the dangerous and domineering Luo Qingyang's unjust soul did not dare to get close, which showed its power. As a person in the Xuanmen, I am not afraid of walking at night in this evil and resentful ravine, the key is Uncle Leopard and Xiaolan, and Xiaolan is a woman with Yin attributes. I frowned, walked forward quickly, caught up with Uncle Leopard and Xiaolan, and set off from the village chief Yao's house, I brought yellow paper and cinnabar, just to prevent walking at night in the evil place. When an outsider asks for it, we generally don't draw it to him. It's not that we're stingy, it's that the evil spells we draw condense our own evil warding mana cultivation, and it's easy to expose ourselves, and once or twice it may work, but three or four times it will be seen through by yin and evil, just like the virus is immune to medicine. I drew a talisman in one place, and the yin and evil did not dare to get close, but the next time I drew a talisman and passed through here, I might be surrounded by the aura of yin and evil and resentment, just because I had already exposed myself.
But at this time, I didn't have time to get out of this harrier ditch before the sun set, and I was afraid that yin and evil were really prevalent in this ravine, so I had to draw a "Yellow Court Evil Talisman" for Uncle Leopard and Xiaolan respectively, and let them hold it in their hands and block it in front of them.
Continue walking, the red sun is gradually setting on the horizon, and there is about to be no mountain. I asked Uncle Leopard. Sure enough, there is still half an hour to go! Every time I ask him, there is still "half an hour", Uncle Leopard's "Wangmei quenches thirst" method is really enough to trick people, it is estimated that there is really a way to come to the hour, and he will definitely not be able to get out of this harrier ditch before dark.
Earlier, I heard Uncle Leopard say that every night, the harrier ditch is cloudy. Flying sand and stones, I gradually became convinced, when the sky was about to get dark, sure enough, the wind in the valley was gradually strong, and the wind passed through the hall. Scratch people's faces, and feel pain! The sand and gravel were really rolled up. After walking for a while, the sun had completely set.
When I looked at the time, it was almost six o'clock in the evening, and it was already past the unitary hour, and it was getting dark.
On a hot day, it's still early at six o'clock in the afternoon in the city, but this is in the mountains. Since half an hour ago. It was getting dark, and by this time. It's nearly dark. I felt a little cold and cold, and the wind in the ravine where the bloody battle took place was really extraordinary!
I asked everyone to walk closely, and pinched my fingers all the way, and everywhere I was easy to count the hexagrams, but my heart was disturbed, and I couldn't do it. After walking for a while, I saw a tall pine tree in front of me and a boulder next to it. ”
The three of them were shocked, "What's wrong?" Walking here at night is intimidating! "Uncle Rao is Uncle Leopard is bold, and he can see that he is also very weak when walking at night in this harrier ditch.
I looked around, pointed to the pine tree in front of me, and exclaimed, "Look at that pine!" Ten minutes ago, Uncle Leopard, didn't your big yellow dog still pee there? We walked for a while, why did we come back again?! ”
When I said this, Uncle Leopard and Yang Tiancong argued carefully, and immediately their souls flew away, staring at me, extremely surprised, and Xiaolan snuggled up to me tightly, trembling.
"Ghost hitting the wall?!" Yang Tiancong was the first to react.
Uncle Leopard trembled all over, took out a dry tobacco pouch, and was about to light it, and the old man was going to light his scud as soon as he encountered a panic.
I was about to speak, but I heard Uncle Leopard shouting, "it! The lighter won't burn again! This match can't be lit! ”
As soon as he shouted here, the three of us all trembled, remembering the story he had told us earlier about sleeping in this harrier ditch and hitting ghosts, especially Xiaolan, who screamed and drilled straight into my arms, I held her, Yang Tiancong took Uncle Leopard's matches and lighters, tried many times, but it didn't burn!
The wind in the valley is getting stronger and stronger, and it is really destroying branches and breaking trees, flying sand and rocks.
"Don't panic, everyone, follow me, keep moving forward, take a look first!" Anyway, I walked in the front, walked for about ten minutes, in the twilight, but felt that the strange rocks around me, the old trees covered my eyes, have become stone spirits and tree monsters, come to me with teeth and claws, the sky is getting darker and darker, there is no star, there is no moon, and then there is no time, I will not see the five fingers, I remembered the story of Uncle Leopard hitting the ghost here, there are no stars in the sky, his lighter, matches can not be lit...... Could it be that this is the precursor to a ghost collision? How many of us are really going to hit the ghost here tonight? I took a long breath, patted my chest, and secretly said in my heart: Okay, don't care about your cows, ghosts, gods, snakes, and fierce gods, I haven't offended you, if you really want to offend me, once the jade is shattered and thundered, don't blame me! cheered himself up, glanced at everyone, and signaled that everyone could not be left behind. After walking for a while, I only felt that the space around me was very familiar, and the night was getting darker, and it was no longer easy to distinguish foreign objects, but it was not until I saw the giant pine and stone again that I stopped abruptly and shouted, "Old Yang, Uncle Leopard, don't go!" Back to where it was! ”
The three of them naturally saw the pine tree again, and they were very frightened, Yang Tiancong's eyes widened, he stepped forward, carefully touched the pine stone, and shouted: "Did we really hit the 'ghost hitting the wall'?!" Earlier, Village Chief Yao also said that many people walking here at night were blocked by ghosts and hit the wall, turning over and over in the ditch, but they couldn't get out of this ravine! I see, Mr. Fang, we really bumped into a ghost this time! ”
"It's not a ghost hitting a wall!" I looked at the crowd and said categorically, "Ghosts hit the wall when people are drowsy and unconscious!" He only cares about walking, and has no mental consciousness at all, so how can he know that he has encountered a 'ghost hitting the wall'? A few of us were completely conscious! No, it's not a 'ghost against the wall'! ”
"What's not a 'ghost hitting the wall'? We've been going around this ditch several times, and each time we've come back here, isn't this a ghost hitting a wall for us? Uncle Leopard took the earthen gun from his back and put on a posture of battle.
"The so-called 'ghost hitting the wall' among the people, in fact, where is the 'ghost'? These are people who walk at night when their bodies are extremely tired, and they are so tired that their mental consciousness is temporarily abnormal, and their eyes are dizzy. He himself is not sober at all, he has no idea that he is walking blindly! I shook my head, "We went around and around, but we never got out of this area, I think, maybe this is not a ghost!" Rather, "
"Huh? What about my two dogs?! As Uncle Leopard shouted, we also realized that the two dogs were missing.
"What a ghost! Without my instructions, my two dogs would never run around! Uncle Leopard yelled, and then called the dog around.
"Lao Yang, from now on, anything we see may not be true!" I grabbed Xiaolan's hand, "This time, it's really troublesome!" ”
"How so? Even if I see you, maybe you don't really look like you?! Lao Yang's complexion changed slightly.
I nodded heavily.
