Chapter 8: Hell

There is no objection to this division of labor, so they say action is action! Uncle Maudi said that there is only one flashlight, which gives out limited light and will distract everyone, so it is better to turn it off! And so the last bit of comforting light was gone! The whole courtyard was shrouded in the faint glow of the red moon!

Black Feather is a black dog, and he can't see it when he doesn't enter the darkness, so Chongyang is extra vigilant, waving the sharp dagger in his hand from time to time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I have experienced the sharpness of this dagger, and it can cut through any living creature that dares to approach! Black Feather and Snow Feather used to look like stupid dogs, but tonight they were very smart and they didn't take the initiative to attack...... Of course, Snow Feather hadn't appeared until night.

The yard I was familiar with was full of uneven plants. I heard from my grandfather that the trees planted in the yard were all transplanted from outside more than ten years ago when I was only two or three years old. Ten years of trees, nearly twenty years, even small trees have grown, let alone big trees! Therefore, there are tall pear trees, apricot trees, acacia trees, ginkgo biloba, etc., as well as low torch trees, peach blossom trees, begonia trees, etc., as well as some shrubs with a lower nature, and the most are all kinds of flowers and plants, forty-nine pots of lotus...... So this yard is high and low, and there are plants everywhere! Such a scenery looks good during the day, but at night, especially when there is a moon, there are always some strange sounds in the wind, coupled with mottled light and shadow, it can't help but feel a little eerie!

The feeling of weirdness and mystery is even stronger tonight! The red moon in the sky, which was not bright, radiated a bright and evil light, and every plant in the yard looked a little strange, as if they were alive, moving and moving, and the wind passed by the light and shadow, and many tall trees looked like giants with open arms, ready to pounce on us!

I stared at the North Star in the sky, directing the direction, for fear of deviation! The situation is urgent, this is our last chance! Tonight, if what Uncle Maudi said is true, then another familiar person will leave me! There's really not much I have to lose in this world! Grandpa is gone, and Uncle Maudi can't leave me anymore anyway!

What's more, if we don't succeed tonight and Uncle Maodi leaves us, everything will be uncertain!

"That's not right!" I suddenly felt a strange thing, something strange happened, I saw that the yard had fogged up at some point, and I didn't notice it at all! This mist has a pale blue feel and smells earthy! At some point, the wind stopped completely, and there was an eerie silence all around, and there was no sound except for our footsteps!

"It's broken! It's not that simple! Now I can't see the sky clearly, and I can't tell the direction! Chongyang waved the dagger in her hand vigorously, and she was very patient, but now she is finally anxious!

"Don't panic! The fog is weird, we have to be calm and guard against surprises! Uncle Maudi immediately stopped and said, "Everyone is closer!" Standing back to back with each other! ”

We then leaned closer to each other and kept our vigilance high.

However, nothing happened, there was no wind at all, the fog seemed to freeze, the air seemed to freeze, and all we could hear was each other's breathing and heartbeat! It's so abnormal to be quiet, it's not the real world, it's just a horrible dream!

"Wow...... Woo wow......" Suddenly a voice came from the extraordinary silence, which seemed particularly harsh, as if it was a baby crying!

"It looks like there's a baby...... Little hat, is that you? My baby......" Uncle Maudi suddenly became agitated, and was about to leave us, and followed the voice!

I hurriedly grabbed Uncle Maudi and asked, "Who is Little Hat?" ”

"He's mine = baby, you hear him call me ......"

"You don't have children! You're a lonely old man! "I think Uncle Maudi is very wrong!

"Yes, yes...... My baby was born on the sixth day of August! The package production has arrived at the household, the grain has been harvested, and everyone has eaten enough...... My baby is a blessed one, born with a package of rice to eat......"

O my God! When did the package arrive at home? It seems that Uncle Maudi has entered a trance and is in critical condition! Something is confusing our minds, Uncle Maudi is old and weak, and he is the first to be tricked! Oh no, we could all get hit next!

I think of the basic common sense in "The Wonderful Thoughts of the Daoist in the Ghost Valley", but whenever the mind is confused, the most effective solution is to sting! So I snatched the knife from the stupid Chongyang's hand and poked Uncle Maodi in the buttocks, of course, not a stabbing wound, just to give him some pain!

"Ouch!" Uncle Maudi screamed, his voice terrible, echoing in the night sky, sounding particularly terrifying! "My ass! ――”

"Uncle Maodi, you've fallen for evil!"

"Ahhh......h Oh, yes! I just saw my dead baby crying and making a ......fuss," Uncle Maudi paused and said, "Poke me, that little one is gone!" ”

"Giggle...... ......"Uncle Maudi hadn't finished his sentence when suddenly a red-bellied child ran over with a smile in front of him......

"Where the kids, so cute!" Chongyang's voice is gentle, he is about to leave us and chase that child!

"Poke her!" Uncle Maodi shouted! I realized that I was in a bit of a trance just now, and I also thought that the child was so cute, that people couldn't help but feel the urge to hug it and kiss it! What's going on!

As soon as Uncle Maodi shouted, I hurriedly swiped lightly on Chongyang's arm, and in order to make her hurt, I even pinched it hard! It's so powerful, I know that the general pain will pass at once, and if the three of us fall into a trance and be fascinated, then the game will be completely over!

Immediately afterwards, I raised my thigh, gritted my teeth and stabbed myself hard, and then buckled my wound hard, and the intense pain made my heart much clearer! Chongyang was also pulled back to reality by the pain! It was as quiet as ever.

Now all three of us are hissing and breathing, standing stupidly in pain! Suddenly, I noticed that everything in front of me seemed to be clear again, and the pale blue mist was gone! I immediately looked up at the sky, and the slightly reddish moon was still there, but it was almost setting! The stars are clearer!

"What the hell did we just see?" Everyone didn't speak, so I asked.

"What the hell is there! There are ghosts, and your grandfather is also a ghost! How did the old man come up with this trick, this kind of mysterious thing, I've seen a lot of it before, but I don't know what the principle is and how to make it! Now that I'm here, it's obviously made by your grandfather! He seems to have improved a lot in the past ten years, I thought it was just a little trick like a ghost hitting the wall, who knew that he would come up with such a breathtaking thing! Uncle Maudi's voice seemed to be much weaker!

"Is that a ghost?"

"You kid has also studied Qimen Dunjia for so many years, the Trap Maze and the like, you should know that in fact, the kind of things that can't be called ghosts are actually not much, and many times they are just things made by people! Ghosts are in the human heart, and the spiritual world of man is a wonderful world, and once it is induced by something, ghosts will be born in the heart......" Uncle Maodi said and said, as if he was very weak, he stopped talking about this topic, and said weakly: "I am sleepy! I feel like I'm going to fail! Let's go up to the small building as soon as possible! Otherwise, the old man Wood Ghost's ingenious plan will be disrupted by his subtle trap maze......"

"Alas! I don't know what the hell I'll encounter before! Well, now that we see the stars again, without further ado, let's go! "I found the North Star and relocated due west.

"Uh, I kind of get it! We didn't meet a ghost just now, we were just poisoned! Chongyang sniffed and suddenly said, "This feeling...... It seems to be the smell of the water spirit and the fire spirit that will bring people into a world of illusion...... Fortunately, everyone has bled out, remember to press the wound later, and let a little more blood out, otherwise you will be confused......"

"What are Water Elemental Spirits and Fire Elemental Spirits?" I wondered.

"This is the magic weapon of my two grandfathers, in fact, it is a kind of thing that I don't know what the ingredients are, the fire spirit is a red powder, the water spirit is a blue potion, mixing the fire spirit and the water spirit will produce a colorless gas, earthy smell, people can smell it for a while, and they can produce all kinds of hallucinations......"

"I don't think it's like ah, hallucinations should be different for everyone, why do I hear the child crying and laughing, and I also see the fat child with a red belly?"

"The hallucinations are not induced, of course, everyone is different, in fact, everyone's hallucinations are induced by something suppressed in their subconscious! And tonight, in this maze, it must be a well-designed thing that has uniformly induced everyone, so everyone has the same illusion in front of their eyes......"

"You know a lot, huh?" We talk as we go, lest the excessive silence give birth to another moth!

"Actually, these are all taught to me by my two grandfathers, they have been running endlessly in the past twenty years, and the rest of the time is spent studying the effects of various potions and powders on people! I've only got a glimpse of it," Chongyang said, "Speaking ......of which, my two grandfathers are really masters in this area when they work together!" I've seen some incredible effects, but unfortunately I can't figure it out myself, and I don't understand the principles, I've just learned some tricks! ”
