Chapter 2: Ghosts are impermanent
Closing the door heavily, Kao Dong fell asleep with a depressed mood, and did not wake up until noon the next day, he was indeed tired these days. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Recently, there are no particularly important courses, so Kao Dong often stuffed himself in the room to study the Taoist technique of yin and yang eyes, although God gave him a pair of defective eyes, but he didn't want to give up, he firmly believed that as long as he put in more effort than others, one day he could also become a real onmyoji.
He had seen in ancient books an herb called wall tendon grass, which can stimulate people's nerves, but this herb also has a certain toxicity, and an inadvertent one will lead to nerve necrosis.
After a brief plan, Kao Dong returned to his hometown, where he had seen this herb on the cliff behind his hometown, and he decided to try it.
On the edge of the cliff, Kao Dong found a sturdy tree, fixed the rope at one end, buckled the waist loop, glanced at the cliff, and felt that his legs were a little trembling.
"Whew...... I can ......."
Taking a deep breath, Khao Dong tried to keep himself relaxed, and then climbed down the rocks on the cliff.
This cliff is not too high, about 100 meters, under the cliff is a big river, when he was a child, he often played by the river, but rarely went down the river, because the river is very deep, and many people have drowned.
Soon Khao Dong saw a herb appear in the crack of the stone, and slowly moved his body, and Khao Dong touched along the cliff.
Just as he took out his tools and was about to dig up the medicine, suddenly a green head poked out, and his eyes were pitch black, and it turned out to be a snake the size of a finger, covered in turquoise.
Kao Dong felt a pimple in his heart.
"Hiss......" The snake kept spitting out snake letters, and twisted towards Kaodong little by little.
"Damn, Ye Luqing? Trouble! ”
Ye Luqing is a very famous poisonous snake in Kaodong's hometown, it is not big, but it has a strong sense of territory, except for the eagle, this snake is not afraid of any other animals, including people. If you accidentally enter its territory, it will actively drive away, but fortunately, this snake will not attack easily, as long as it obediently leaves its territory, nothing will happen.
But Kao Dong didn't want to retreat like this, this kind of snake he had often heard his grandfather mention, it was extremely spiritual, and it must have chosen the domain here because of the wall tendon grass. This herb grew here ten years ago, and it has not withered or grown much until now, which is enough to show that it is special, and maybe it can really cure his disease.
But right now, he only has a hoe in his hand to dig medicine, and he doesn't dare to shoot at will, so after thinking about it, he should retreat first.
As Kao Dong slowly retreated, the little snake also stopped driving, spit a few times towards Kao Dong and turned his head to leave. Kaodong's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly raised the hoe and threw it over, and it hit the stone with a clang, and even the snake's fur was not rubbed.
"It's broken!" missed the blow, and Kao Dong hurriedly climbed up the rope.
Sure enough, the snake angrily turned around and twisted towards Kaodong, Kao Dong was so frightened that he sped up, but on this cliff, where could he climb Ye Luqing, seeing that the green snake was about to bite his ass, Kao Dong gritted his teeth, and his legs were fierce, and the whole person bounced, and the green snake took off and bit into the air and fell into the river, and Kao Dong patted his chest.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a green figure appeared in sight again, and the snake actually climbed up again.
Khao Dong gritted his teeth and quickly dug up the herbs and climbed up again, but the little snake seemed to have learned wisely, and instead of blindly attacking, it quickly twisted to the top of Khao Dong's head, and then crawled along the rope.
In this way, Kaodong's retreat was completely sealed.
"Nima ......"
With a secret curse, Kao Dong unbuckled the buckle around his waist for the first time and fell into the river, he didn't stop, he dived quickly along the current, and he could even feel that the poisonous snake had also fallen.
Because he was so flustered that he didn't have time to identify his direction, his head hit the cliff wall, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound, and a sharp pain came......
"Wow ......" A large mouthful of water poured into his throat, and Kao Dong was directly choked and fainted.
I don't know how long it has been!
"Ahem......" Kao Dong spit out a large mouthful of water, woke up weakly, looked around, and it was dark.
Got up from the water's edge with difficulty, and for a while Kao Dong didn't recognize where he was, but listening to the crisp sound of dripping water, it seemed like he had been washed into a cave?
I touched my head, and there was a deep hole there, but it was blistered unconscious.
Feeling the herbs in his hand, it seemed to be still there, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness I escaped!"
The temperature in the cave was a little low, Kao Dong shivered, his bag was lost, his mobile phone was soaked in water, and now he only had a herb left in his hand. The temperature in the cave is so low, you have to try to get out as soon as possible.
"Anyone?" Kao Dong tried to shout, he knew that this was nonsense, how could there be people in this kind of place, he just wanted to give himself courage, he always felt that this cave was a little weird.
"It's been a hundred years...... Finally waiting for a living person! An excited voice rang out.
"Who? Who's talking? Kao Dong was startled and made a defensive move, is there really someone?
"No need to look for it, it's ahead of you!" The voice was a deliberate reminder.
Kao Dong squinted and saw that there seemed to be a passage in the dim front, where a shadow was shaking, accompanied by the sound of chains?
Kao Dong walked over cautiously, and suddenly he felt that he had hit something, soft. Without waiting for him to think about it, a dazzling light suddenly lit up, and Kao Dong couldn't help but cover his eyes, and it took a long time to get used to it.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that it was an invisible light curtain? It happened to be stuck at the entrance of the passage, blocking his way.
And at the end of the passage was a black rock wall covered with iron chains, and under the rock wall there was a figure, it was a strange man who was gray and white as if he had no clothes, and his appearance was also a little strange, and his face was very long up and down, as long as half a face of an ordinary person.
The man's whole body was covered with iron chains, especially on his chest, and there were more than a dozen iron chains piercing back and forth, and he felt trembling just by looking at Kaodong.
"You, you're ...... Are people ghosts? Kao Dong felt that he was a little uncomfortable in speaking, he really wondered if this person in front of him was a human being? It's all chained like this, and it's not dead?
However, the man didn't answer him at all, just tilted his head and kept looking at Kaodong, and from time to time he raised the corners of his mouth, which seemed to be laughing?
"You—You're not a ghost, are you?" Kao Dong swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively.
"It's not!" The man replied simply.
Hearing the other party's admitation, Kao Dong nodded, yes, he doesn't have yin and yang eyes, if it's a ghost, he shouldn't be able to see it.
"And who are you?"
"White impermanence!"
