The Land of Yoro Chapter 17: The Shadow in the Cave (I)

As soon as the second master moved, I realized that a white circle was drawn around him, isn't this the kind drawn when burning paper during the Midyear Festival? Now draw the second master in, what does Yuanmei mean by this?

Yuanmei followed my eyes and found that I was looking at the circle, and said lightly: "This is used to fix the soul, he was put on the body, and he was afraid that the soul was unstable, so he came up with this strategy." ”

"Isn't the spicy being made by people?" After saying that, I quickly swallowed the drooling again.

"This is called painting the ground for the prison, which means forbidden to enter and exit, the kind of circle you said to worship the ancestors is to leave a mouth, the mouth corresponds to the top of the circle with incense, and keeps calling the names of the ancestors when burning paper, in fact, this is the simplest art of inviting ghosts, painting circles is afraid that the dark coin will be robbed by the lonely ghosts passing by, the ancestors can not receive it, there are many blames, after all, after the Midyear Festival, the ghost door can only wait for the winter clothes festival three months later, and that mouth is the door for the ancestors to enter and exit, calling the name has two meanings, one is to please the soul, the other is to tell the ghost wild ghost, This money belongs to the owner, so don't take it.

And the solid soul painting circle can't leave a mouth, I not only drew the solid soul circle, but also tied a red rope on his middle finger, and fed him the Shengyang Pill, multi-pronged, just in case, that female ghost can call the wind and rain, I'm afraid it's not as simple as an ordinary wandering soul and wild ghost. ”

After listening to her, I looked at her with some gratitude, if she hadn't been there, just me and the second master, I'm afraid I would have seen Xiuying a long time ago, and although she is sometimes mean-spoken, she is not bad-hearted, which is not very similar to the Li family, but this may be why only she can come back alive from Tibet in the Li family.

Although after Yuanmei came back from Tibet, she has always maintained a kind of ruthlessness that rejects people, but I know that all this is just a means for her to hide her weakness, after all, if you want the Li family not to fall, someone must carry the beam, and she is the only candidate, a young girl, to lead and command a group of old fritters who specialize in scheming and peeking at the position of the family for a long time.

She glanced at me and said calmly: "You don't have to look at me like that, you're right, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can escape, so I don't save him or you, but myself. ”

I shrugged at her, barely squeezing out a smile, Yuan Mei snorted coldly, and at this time, the second master murmured as if talking in a dream: "Water, give saliva." ”

I struggled to stand up, went over with Yuanmei, gritted my teeth and helped up the second master who was still with his eyes closed, Yuanmei took out the kettle and poured him a few sips, the second master drank greedily, and couldn't wait to swallow the kettle, after drinking the water, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the two of us and asked, "Is that little girl on my body watery?" ”

After hearing this, I was stunned at first, looking at the evil smile on his face, I forgot the injury on my hand in anger, punched him hard in the chest, and held my hand and gasped after the fight.

Yuanmei said disapprovingly: "It's okay, it seems that there is no lack of soul, can you get up?" You've been sleeping for almost a day. ”

The second master asked in surprise: "I've slept all day?" No, we have to hurry up and save people."

At the same time as the word "save people" came out, he was stunned, and for a moment the air seemed to freeze, and the three of them lowered their heads at the same time, and finally he smiled and said, "Hurry up, come, take a hand." ”

Yuan Mei and I worked together to pull him up, he tried to move his legs and feet, the blisters on his waist still hurt and he gritted his teeth and hummed, Yuan Mei explained: "Both of your blisters have different degrees of suppuration, but fortunately, the knife wound medicine has played a role, the wound has begun to scab, it should not take long to heal, but the scar must have been left." ”

"Just scar".

The second master stared at me curiously and said, "What's wrong with your tongue?" This guy is big, it's enough to stew in a pot, big girl, what medicine did you give him? I missed, but I wasn't dumb. ”

I glanced at him fiercely, Yuanmei said: "When he rescued you, he put bone residue in his mouth, and he was poisoned by the corpse, and he will get better soon after taking the medicine", after speaking, he turned his head and looked at me and said: "The loss is only a few grains, and you vomit in time, if you swallow it once, even if you swallow it for a while, I am afraid that you will be crippled if you don't die." ”

The second master gloated and said: "You see, this is the retribution that you didn't report and deliberately concealed, okay, for the sake of you being injured in order to save me, I forgive you for God, don't make an example"

This time, the ghost upper body seemed to let the second master walk out of the shadow of Xiu Gu, and returned to the state where the sky collapsed and the ground sank into a soft bed, of course, what he thought in his heart, only he knew.

The three of them cleaned up, along a path with obvious traces of artificial chiseling, and continued to move forward, in order to save the torch, only lit the one held by Yuanmei, and the second master and I followed behind, like two blind people, holding on to the wall, two steps and one tooth of difficulty.

As it progressed deeper, the surrounding environment began to change, the water dripping from the stalactites converged into a stream, flowing forward quickly, and a small black shadow could occasionally be seen in the water, flashing by, saying that it was a fish and not quite like it, and I don't know what it was.

As the cave widened, the number of stalactites became scarcer, and the water beside the path grew larger, gradually from the creek to the river, and finally to the big river with rolling waves, because the torch illuminated the area was too small to see how wide the river was, and the path became a narrow bridge over the river, twisting and turning, with no end in sight.

Due to the lack of walls, the second master and I were helpless, so we could only limp and walk, and the speed of progress slowed down a lot.

There was a sound of water in front, through the light of the fire, I found that the flow speed of the river was significantly accelerated, in the darkness on both sides, occasionally there were one or two splashing sounds, listening to the sound, it should be a fish jumping out of the water, the second master behind him said: "Ah, listen to the movement of this fish is very big, well, when it is time to find a place to rest in front, I will give you two whole, I tell you, this grilled fish tastes always strong." ”

At this time, all I was thinking about was the Yin Array underwater killing Lin Xiaoxiao's ghost fish, and I said with palpitations: "Ba Envoy".

The second master said happily: "Yes, it's Ba Shi, I know you love to eat." ”

"What he said was not to eat" Yuan Mei replied to him coldly.

"Don't eat? Why? If you don't eat the fish, you have to gnaw on the hard broken cakes like stones? Is a cake better than fish? ”

I turned around and glared at him, startling him, and he lowered his head for a moment and suddenly let out a long "whoa."

"I know, you're afraid that this fish is the same as the fish in the Yin Array?" Don't worry, it can't be a ghost fish in a hole, and when we went down to five people, wouldn't Lin ..... die"

As soon as he said a word, he suddenly closed his mouth, coughed awkwardly, turned out the cigarette from the outside of the bag behind me, lit one, and inhaled silently, no more.

After walking for about two incense sticks, the three of them were exhausted, and there was no place to rest within their eyes, so they had no choice but to sit on the bridge and rest temporarily.

Seeing that I ignored him, the second master asked Yuanmei without words: "Big sister, what did you use to drive away that little girl on me?" Why do I smell so bad? ”

Yuanmei was just about to speak, I quickly lowered my head and coughed, Yuanmei looked at me and said, "You haven't taken a bath for many days, how can there be no smell on your body, that female ghost probably thinks you're too dirty, and you can't bear it before leaving, by the way, how do you know that it's a female ghost on you?" ”

"Is there one?" Why couldn't I smell it before? You said that female ghost, hey, then you two are not there to study who is hanging the coffin, I look at the corpse on the ground is very complete, and I am wearing a silver hat, I am curious, squatting there is looking at it, and suddenly a girl suddenly appeared in front of me, and the small appearance is quite watery, but I am unhappy, I was just about to call you, but I didn't know anything in an instant. ”

"Headdress and white robe, well, I guess the female ghost in your body, it is very likely that she was a wizard of the Yu tribe or something like that, the servant believes in the sun, advocating force, it is said that the servant has the custom of changing teeth, that is, after the man becomes an adult, knock out several of his own teeth, and then punch the mastiff's fangs into the mouth, which means to prove that he is as fierce as a mastiff, so the servant was also called a wingman in ancient times."

The status of the servant sorcerer in the group is very high, whether it is a wedding or funeral or a matter of farming, or a boat rush, the sorcerer is required to divinate and pray for blessings, sacrifices and ask the sky, because in the belief of the servants, there are gods in every mountain, stone, grass and tree, if there is no wizard to guide them, it is easy to collide with the gods and cause trouble. ”

"Ah, I see, you mean that only a servant wizard can call the wind and rain to make such a big demon? Oh, I said big sister, don't look at your age, there is a lot of stock in this belly, what is that called? Ah, yes, full of wheels. The second master said a little flatteringly.

Yuanmei didn't bother with him, silently looked at the boundless darkness in the distance in a daze, I don't know what I was thinking, the second master also felt that he was a little bored, and lit a cigarette, and the three of them sat quietly by the river, thinking about their own thoughts.

In the darkness, except for the sound of water, there was no sound, and suddenly, there was the sound of something falling into the water in the distance, and I don't know if the thing in the water was really big, or the cave was too loud, and the people who listened to it were terrified.

In just an instant, the three of them were pulled back from their fantasies, one by one holding their breath and staring at the direction from which the sound came, the things in the water seemed to know that we were watching it, as if they were deliberately performing, and immediately there was a louder sound of falling water, and as soon as the sound fell, a wave crashed on the stone bridge and splashed us, and the three of them let their clothes be wet by the water, and no one dared to move.

The second master said softly: "Big sister, I remember that there is a cross on your map where water ripples are drawn, what does that fork mean?" ”

The words fluttered and disappeared into the darkness, only two seconds later, the three of them seemed to have an order, and stood up, Yuanmei took the lead with a torch and walked like a fly in front, I and the second master didn't care about the pain in the body, limped closely, just walked a dozen steps, only to hear a huge sound of slapping the water about a few dozen meters on the left, the three of them suddenly stood still, stunned for about two seconds, Yuanmei ran directly, I and the second master gritted our teeth, tried all the strength of the body, and followed behind with jumping.

The further he ran, the louder the sound of the water became, and Yuanmei shouted: "Hurry up, there should be a waterfall ahead!" ”

Before the words fell, about ten meters beside him, something suddenly jumped out, and fell back into the water in the blink of an eye, and the splash directly extinguished the torch, and the three people stood in the dark, stunned, and the second master asked tremblingly: "White?" ”

: "Road's"

"Textured, it should be fish".

"What's the red dot on the top?" ”
