Chapter 56: Ancestral Spirit
In the face of my master's accusation, the old man blushed a little, thanks to his skin being a little yellow and black, so it was not so conspicuous, but he was also obviously a little anxious, and the green tendons on his neck bulged out, and he said anxiously: "I won't cheat you, it is more dangerous for you to go up the mountain on another road." ”
The master said with a smile: "Could it be that there are still man-eating tigers on this mountain?" Where is the danger? ”
The old man was stunned by my master's choking, in short, he really hadn't heard of a tiger in Xiangxi, but he was even more anxious, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "What if it's more terrible than a man-eating tiger?" ”
"What's that? Python? ”
"Black blind?"
"Could it be a pack of wolves?"
The master is completely, and he said that the black blind man (dog bear), how can he haunt a place with such a climate? The old man only shook his head and did not answer, but in any case stepped forward and hurried a few steps, insisting on stopping in front of us.
Seeing the old man's performance, the master sighed, and then said helplessly: "I understand" and then put down the mountaineering bag on his body as he spoke, and took out a sturdy bag tied with clinker paper from the bulging mountaineering bag, and then slowly opened it, and it was full of yellow and clear tobacco leaves.
Pretending to be reluctant, the master came out of a small half, regardless of the old man's stunned expression, took the old man's dry tobacco stick, stuffed the old man into the bag of the dry tobacco stick, and then said helplessly: "Brother, don't say that I don't know how to do it, I have a good place, give people benefits, this world, it can be regarded as seeking peace." ”
After saying that, the master turned around, and before he even had time to pack his bag, he picked it up, pulled me away from the old man, and left.
The old man shouted behind us, "Outsiders are not allowed to go up the mountain, no."
His anxious voice has changed, it is hard for his hoarse voice to become so sharp, and the Chinese, which was already a little jerky, seems even more jerky, with a little taste of the local Miao language.
It's a pity that Master and I will listen to him at this time, so we just bury our heads and stride towards the mountain.
Master and I were already in good health, but at this time, when we deliberately increased our speed, our speed was even faster, and ordinary people might not be able to catch up with us when running, let alone the stairs up the mountain, in short, we walked forward for a minute, and we didn't hear the footsteps of the old man catching up.
I felt strange, suddenly a creepy feeling surged all over my body, and all of a sudden the cold hairs all over my body stood up, and before I could react to what was going on, I heard a dog bark in our ears that was an ordinary dog bark, but this sound was not real at all, but it was extremely ethereal, so it seemed weird.
If I had to describe it specifically, it was like a ghost 'talking' to a person, and the sound went straight to the human heart, without a real 'sense of landing', just like coming from the depths of the void.
Although this dog barks weirdly, it is still a dog barking, but when it barks like this, I can't control my legs and go weak, but how can I kneel? He took two steps back, and suddenly leaned on the mountain next to the bluestone path.
Master's situation was not much better than mine, and it was only by holding me up that he could barely stand up straight.
Not only that, as soon as I leaned against the mountain wall, there was a tiger roar from the depths of my soul, which was the stupid tiger that had been sleeping for a long time suddenly woke up, and every time the stupid tiger woke up, I could dialysis into the silent space in the depths of my soul, where I saw the stupid tiger lying on his stomach suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were like torches.
Compared with the previous stupid eyes, this look is too smart This is not enough, as soon as it wakes up, the hair on the whole body stands upright, and when it stands up all of a sudden, its back is slightly arched, and its tail is also vertical, this posture is clearly afraid!
Because when the cat is frightened, it is also like this, and no matter how powerful the stupid tiger is, it is actually just a big cat.
What is the silly tiger afraid of? I was forcibly dragged back to reality from the silent world in the depths of my soul, and it was less than a second later, and at this time, I heard a continuous barking of dogs, like the barking of wild dogs in the mountains, and I didn't know which direction it came from.
It's just a dog barking, why? Why? I was inexplicably cold in a sweat, and I couldn't help but turn my head around in a panic, but in a flicker, I saw that the sky in front of me seemed to be dark, and before I could figure out if it was my hallucination, I saw that the black piece disappeared.
I subconsciously wanted to rub my eyes, but I saw a beast appear on the road not far ahead? No, it's not a beast at all, it's a monster to be exact, it's like a cow, but its head is like a tiger, and its whole body is fiery red
Before I could react, and before I could see the details, I felt that this monster looked so illusory, not like the real thing, but in your eyes, I saw the monster staring at me with a smile and a humane expression, I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my throat, and then, I saw a red lightning bolt, which suddenly rushed towards me and Master.
Master and I didn't have time to react before we saw a bloody mouth open towards Master's head, and the sharp fangs seemed to want to swallow my Master's head in one gulp!
"Teacher" I could only subconsciously shout this word, and when my hand stretched out, I didn't have time to pull Master.
I seem to have a premonition that as long as this illusory monster's big mouth only wants to bite my master's head, my master's soul will be devoured, what can I do? In the last moment, I almost forgot to be afraid.
And the stupid tiger in the depths of my soul was originally terrified, but at this time, it also seemed to sense my anxiety from the depths of my soul, and the feeling of being willing to face this danger on behalf of the master, and suddenly roared, and the next moment it was about to burst out of my soul.
The roar of the silly tiger is something I have never heard, although I am afraid, but I have the courage to roar, maybe there is a little bit of unconvincing in the middle, I want to challenge at that moment I clearly feel that I am a silly tiger, a silly tiger is me!
The monster was about to bite my master, but suddenly it was as if it had heard the roar of a silly tiger, and suddenly it turned its head, and just like that, I met its eyes, which were the most indifferent I had ever seen, and were filled with some kind of inexplicable evil aura, which made people's hearts palpitate, and there was a strange magic, as if it wanted to drain all human energy and courage.
I want to be subdued under these eyes, kneeling down but an inexplicable will supports me, that is, I stand strongly, and stubbornly I want to look at it!
"It's kind of interesting." In the depths of my soul, such a faint comment sounded, and the words that should have been suppressed and frustrated were said in such a calm tone, and it was extremely strange that it was the boy of the Dao.
I thought I was saved, but the guy just commented on it, and he fell silent.
In less than two seconds, I thought I was hopeless because the stupid tiger didn't have time to come out, but I didn't want the figure of the fiery red monster to suddenly stop, and then quickly fade and fade until it disappeared completely.
"I told you not to trespass, I'm not welcome to do this again. If you can see the ancestral spirit, I'm afraid you're a cultivator. At this time, the old man's voice came again, still hoarse, with jerky Chinese, the difference was that people could clearly feel that he was angry.
I didn't have time to wipe the sweat from my forehead, and when I turned my head, the old man didn't know when he had walked in front of the strange carving again, and was looking at me and the master with indifferent eyes, his hand was on the carving, and I clearly saw the blood overflowing from the palm of my hand, but as soon as it flowed out, it disappeared as if the carving was sucking blood.
At this time, I suddenly remembered that the image of the monster was not eight points similar to this carving. The only difference was that the monster didn't have the hair that stood upright like a hedgehog, and it had weird wings.
I don't know if it's my illusion, I saw that the carving seemed to flash a red light, and then disappeared with a 'boom', at that moment, it was just weird, but in fact the ordinary carving seemed to be full of a strange majesty of evil and cold-blooded aura, which made people feel the infinite oppression of the spirit.
Just at a glance, I couldn't hold on to my legs again, even more powerful than just now, I could only rely on the mountain wall completely and then recall the monster just now, I think compared to the carving, it seems to seem immature and many indescribable feelings.
'Whew', I let out a long breath, because the carving only emitted such an aura for a moment, and it obviously made me feel incomplete, and when I looked at it again in its heyday, it had regained its calm appearance, and it had become a strange but not special carving.
"Yes, we are cultivators, but we can't imagine that your village is unexpected," the master took two steps towards the old man and said something inexplicable.
