Chapter 16: The Snake

"Ghost Spirit Mountain? The name "Couldn ......" sounds familiar, and it inevitably makes me associate it with "Ghost Cave".

"That's right, the Cave of Spirits is there. Let's go later. Liu Jing turned to look at me and said.

I nodded slowly.

After breakfast, we said goodbye to the old woman and walked straight to the ghost cave. As I walked along the road, I took a look around my surroundings.

The houses are slightly higher to the left and right. And the treasure of the house is also close to a mountain. In front of it, there is a river that knows the back. This is an excellent place for Feng Shui.

Sure enough, as Liu Jing said, the remaining filthy qi here has nothing to do with feng shui.

What exactly is that related to? I inadvertently skimmed over the Ghost Spirit Mountain in the distance and was stunned.

"What are you doing standing there? You're not going to faint again, are you? Liu Jing turned her head and asked teasingly.

"You say, could the filthy air in this old man's house be related to Ghost Spirit Mountain?" I asked Liu Jing. "It's not impossible." I guess Liu Jing also thought so in her heart, and answered me categorically.

Khan, inadvertently, there is another reason for the district ghost spirit mountain.

Walking on the road, Liu Jing and I also teased without a word.

At this moment, her face was so flat, she couldn't see the true thoughts in her heart at all. Last night, the sad wife who deeply thought about her husband was a part-time worker.

Hey, she's so tired.

"By the way, when did you learn the art of empathy?" As she walked, she suddenly asked.

"It's a long story," I cleared my throat and said fluently, "To put it simply, in fact, my parents are also onmyoji, and they have made me study hard since I was a child, you know." ”

I thought about this answer for a long time, and I knew that Liu Jing would definitely ask me this question again. I can only think of one answer to perfunctory him. Not a single word in the whole sentence is a lie. It's just that my parents didn't let me learn yin and yang. And Liu Jing didn't ask any more, she was a person who didn't want to talk more.

After walking for a while, we came to a single-plank bridge, which is the only way to go to the Ghost Spirit Cave.

However, the bridge deck is so narrow that only one person can pass the guò alone.

The water flow under the bridge is fast. If you accidentally drop it, you will end up with no bones left.

I'm going to go to the ghost cave thousands of years ago to be so difficult to walk.

"Where the hell is this water coming from?" I couldn't help but wonder about Liu Jing.

"The water here is sourced from the top of the Ghost Mountain, and there is not only one stream, but a stream of water that makes up countless streams. Finally, they all converge into a small river and flow into the Houzhi River. ”

I nodded knowingly, and walked over the single-plank bridge first, ready to cross the bridge.

It's not that I don't have the spirit of ladies first, it's that I want to cross the river first and try to see if the bridge is safe. After all, it's embarrassing to let a girl's family be the first person to eat crabs.

I raised my hands to the sides to keep my balance. Walked lightly onto the bridge.

The head never glanced under the bridge, and his eyes were fixed on the opposite bank, and he did not blink.

The sound of running water constantly beats my heart stone. It is not as strong as the heart stone will be slapped with impetuousness.

There are 6 meters, 5 meters, 4 meters left...... The longest part of the road is only 10 meters, and the maximum walk is more than 20 steps. It's just that this time I feel that it has been unusually long, and I have a feeling of experiencing three autumns.

Less than two meters into the end, I held my breath, gritted my teeth, and made a leap.

The gaze moves in an arc as if it were doing regular movements. When it froze, I realized that I had reached the other side.

Relieved, I turned and waved at her. The meaning is clear - hurry up.

And Liu Jing also slowly walked from the side of the bridge. Because of her small body, she seemed to walk lightly, and she was not in a hurry, but she was also very careful. Overall, the bridge style is much easier than mine.

Behold

It's just the calm before the storm......

At this moment, ripples were set off on the surface of the water of reality. Then the surrounding scene began to shake. It was shallow to deep, and even standing on the shore began to lose my center of gravity, swaying from side to side.

"Suffered!" shouted in his heart that it was not good, and went towards Liu Jing.

In between, she stood in the center of the wooden bridge swaying from side to side, and she was also swaying from side to side, trying to control her center of gravity.

"Be careful, run to me......" just wanted to shout......

"Boom!!" A deafening voice resounded through the sky.

This voice is like the roar of the overlord tiger in the mountain, making people's hearts tremble with this roar.

The source of the sound seems to be the inside of the Ghost Spirit Cave.

And Liu Jing was jumped by this loud noise, her body suddenly trembled, and she stumbled and fell into the stream.

Khan, halfway out of a Cheng bite gold.

There's so much, I just want to get on the road, and it's as hard as learning from the West.

She fell into the river, and instead of going down the current, she fell directly to the bottom of the river as if her feet were being grabbed.

Khan, strange places are so weird, even though it's very unscientific, but that's how it happened.

If she drowns, how can I do what follows? I don't know if it's because of pity for the fragrance or for my own yin and yang eyes, I think I have a reason to save him.

I took a few steps back against the river to add to my buffer. Holding my breath and not doing anything, I ran to the stream, ready to jump into the river and rescue Liu Jing!

Forget it, just die. Even if this scene is being simulated, it is fake......

Quickly entering the river, without even hearing the splash, I fell into this deep water. The eyes were slightly open, but the current was so rapid that it was impossible to see a few centimeters away.

But when I looked closely, I found that these scenery was actually fixed, and I was able to travel through them. It's like a stereoscopic image or a mirage, without any collision volume.

Looking up, the pattern of the water outside the river is still very fast, in stark contrast to the calm inside the river.

If I were a photographer. I'm definitely going to take this unprecedented picture and maybe win an award when the time comes.

Before I could make any more observations, I suddenly noticed that my whole body was falling rapidly, so fast that my heart was in my throat like a free fall.

"I'll go, it hurts!" Just a moment after I fell, my ass hit the hard ground, and it hurt.

It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers. I fiddled with the bag and took out the fire fold and candles.

Lighting a candle, I shine a qiē around me.

Although I don't know anything about my surroundings, I don't know what I'm afraid of. Whispering Liu Jing's name, maybe it was this unknown that scared me.

"Liu Jing, Jing, Xiao Liu Jing, Xiao Jing Jing." I shouted teasingly, only to reply with a repetition of my echo.

Just as I was disappointed and thought she was going down the river, I suddenly heard a response.

"Young man, please be serious."

This is Liu Jing's voice, I hold the candle and walk along the source of the sound.

found that Liu Jing was sitting on a big rock at this moment, holding the stone wall with one hand and her heart with the other, presumably she was frightened just now.

"Scared the hell out of me, I thought you were washed away." After saying that, I stroked my heart.

And she also replied: "I'm fine, where is this?" ”

"I don't know, I said as I held a candle and looked around." I found that there were only some uneven stone walls, and the surrounding space was very small.

"Where is this?" Seeing that the surroundings were a field that she had never known, Liu Jing couldn't help but ask.

"You don't know, how do I know." Dare to love her as the host.

Look at the upper flesh of the place where it fell, and this place is still a body of water, which is obviously a stone wall that is no different from the others.

This place is really spooky. And this place, there is only one road to us.

There was no other way, we patted the dust off our bodies. Stood up and walked the way over......

Before we had gone a few steps, the road began to fork in the road, which made us not know which way to go.

The candle was held up in the middle of the wall, and a drawing of a giant snake was faintly spotted.

It has nine tails with a protruding tail end, making it look very hideous.

"What kind of monster is this?" I couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is the Nine-Tailed Snake." Liu Jing replied calmly, but the candlelight kept flickering in her eyes.

"Do you know the Nine-Tailed?" This time she asked me rhetorically.

Seeing that I shook her head, she opened her mouth and explained to me, "It is a legendary ancient snake with a huge body, covered in scale armor, and nine tails. Legend has it that she was incarnated by Daji. In the battle of Muye, King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang in one fell swoop, and King Zhou fled to Lutai, where Daji was burned to death. After Daji's death, he revealed the true colors of the nine-tailed fox fairy, and turned into a nine-tailed giant python to attack the blue crane fairy Seeing that Daji was dead and waiting to be restored to heaven and return to heaven, how could his body be entangled by the nine-tailed and unable to move, and finally forced to capture the nine-tailed fox with his own soul, and finally the nine-tailed fox and the blue crane were unable to recover, and finally wandered in the bush in the form of a nine-tailed snake, because the soul of the fox fairy has been captured, and it will not harm the world again. ”

"And what does it mean that there is a picture engraved here?" I was curious, but I slowly came up with an unwanted answer in my mind.

But

Liu Jing seems to think the same as me. I don't know if I really don't know or not, so I slowly spoke: "The nine-tailed snake has absorbed the yin and resentment qi of the world, and it is an ancient divine beast with the ability to manipulate space and the world. The nine-tailed snake is hiding in this cave. ”

Even though that's what I'm thinking, I can't help but gasp.

I just want to be an ordinary onmyoji,
