Chapter 69: Ghost Creek
It was already evening when we came to the mountain stream along the fork of the road, and the sunset spread over the western sky, which looked quite magnificent, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the dry bottom of the stream, and the pebbles, large and small, were like golden eggs.
The creek here is narrow and shallow, with more than a dozen large stones running across the stream, connecting the two banks, which should have been used by mountain people to cross the stream in the past.
Looking upstream, the stream meanders and disappears into the corner of the distant mountain, and I don't know where the source is.
We took out the food we had brought and had dinner under a tree on the shore, and it was getting dark. It's a little scary, there's not even a hint of wind.
"Let's go, let's go down." I said to Miss Bai.
As soon as I reached the stream, I sensed that something was wrong, the stream was clearly dry, but I felt a kind of coolness of water. I kind of regret my decision, the stream seems a bit wicked at night.
Miss Bai and I glanced at each other, and the two of them stretched out their hands at the same time, shook each other, felt a lot more settled in their hearts, and cautiously came to the stream together.
After some distance upstream, it finally got dark, and when we looked at the two sides, the trees were connected together, like two black walls, sandwiching us in between.
Since there was nothing out of the ordinary, my heart gradually settled down. It feels like it's just a dry stream, and the villagers are spreading falsehoods, how can it be so terrifying. Thinking about it like this, I feel a little lost inexplicably.
Because it was too quiet, the sound of breathing seemed heavy, and Miss Bai and I looked around from time to time, and the shadows of the two overlapped in the moonlight. The bottom of the stream is uneven, and it is one foot deep and one foot shallow when walking.
"It's strange to say." Miss Bai whispered, "Why did such a stream suddenly dry up?" ”
I shook my head, and suddenly thought of something, "That uncle told us before, when did this stream dry?" ”
Miss Bai was taken aback by me and thought for a moment, "I remember he said, one day four years ago, what's wrong?" ”
"Four years ago..."I muttered, and my heart said, Yang Shujun's mother Yang Chunmei became an evil spirit, and Xiaoqing's father rushed to evil, and it was about that time...
"Ah Leng..."
Miss Bai suddenly called me nervously, interrupting my thoughts.
"What's wrong?"
"Listen..."
I pricked up my ears and faintly heard the sound of 'banging' water, and looked around suspiciously, not knowing where the sound of water came from. But soon I withdrew my gaze and looked into the river directly ahead, because my instinct told me that the sound of water was coming from directly ahead.
My heart was cold, and the sound of the water began to be very thin and soft, and in the blink of an eye, it became louder.
"There's water!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the sound of water turned from the bend of the mountain creek in front of us, and rushed towards us. However, instead of water, I saw fog... A thick fog spread over the entire river, and as we drew closer and closer, the sound of the water was actually the movement of the fog.
"It's not good, Yuxin, let's go!"
I picked up Miss Bai and ran to the bank of the stream, but the fog was faster than us, and in an instant it came close and enveloped us...
The river was gone, there was fog in all directions, and my ears were filled with the sound of 'whooshing' water, but I couldn't feel where there was water, Miss Bai and I held hands tightly, if we didn't stick together, we could only see each other's shadows.
"Where are we?" Miss Bai asked.
"Don't be afraid." I whispered, "Let's see." ”
The night I first entered the mountain, I boasted that if the Qimen magicians could get lost, the world would be in chaos. But now, I'm lost, and I've lost my sense of bearing.
Miss Bai and I didn't know how long we walked, but instead of dissipating, the fog became thicker and thicker.
Miss Bai suddenly shook and stopped, "Ah Leng, listen, something is calling!" ”
"Something? …”
I listened closely, and suddenly I heard the sound of water mixed with the cry of an animal, but I couldn't tell what it was. After concentrating, I felt a strange aura, an evil aura...
"Could it be that the evil is screaming?!"
My mind was racing, and when I thought of evil spirits, I naturally thought of the wooden gossip that raised evil spirits, and then I thought of the stone room, and the cave in the belly of the stone village...
"I see, it's the thing that was tied up in the cave in the belly of the stone village! …”
My mind was racing, if Yang Niansheng and the young man lived in Gushui Village in the first place because of this strange mountain stream, I think they must have known the reason why the mountain stream dried up and the secret hidden here. As for the back, the young man ran to the stone village and lived in the stone room with food and drink, and Miss Bai and I thought he was looking for something. Now, I seem to understand what he's looking for, he's looking for a way to deal with the thing that was tied up in the cavern...
Before Miss Bai and I entered the cave, in addition to the chisels of the Eighth Route Army engineers scattered at the entrance of the cave, we also saw a few pieces of moldy rune paper. At that time, we thought that the rune paper should have been originally attached to the top of the cave to contain the original thing in the cave. There are all kinds of signs that the original thing in the cave should have been subdued and then tied inside. Now I feel that the reason why the young man lived in the stone chamber may have been to find a way to subdue that thing... And that thing is hidden in the mountain stream where Miss Bai and I are at this moment! …
The original complicated thoughts in my mind were like a mess kneaded together, but at this moment, they slowly dispersed and became a connected picture... One day four years ago, an unknown 'thing' came to this mountain stream, and after the mountain stream dried up, it hid in an unknown place. Three or four months ago, Yang Niansheng and the young man came here, and after continuous exploration, they finally knew the hidden location of this thing. Perhaps, the two of them had been tracking down this thing before. As for Yang Niansheng's broken leg injury, whether it has something to do with this thing, I'm not sure. But one thing I'm sure of is that they can't deal with this thing. Therefore, after Yang Niansheng was discharged from the hospital, they struggled to find a way to deal with this thing. After searching for everything, the young man later lived in the stone chamber in the mountain behind the stone village, because the stone chamber was connected to the place where this thing was originally imprisoned, but before he could find a way to deal with this thing, he died inexplicably in the stone chamber...
However, there are still many clues that have not been solved, such as the reason for the death of those Eighth Route Army engineers back then, and when this ghost thing came out of the mountain. And most importantly, what is it...
I don't know if the evil aura I sensed in front of me came from it, and if so, was it an evil spirit? My eyes suddenly lit up, and I once again thought of the wooden gossip that was originally placed in the stone room, could it be that this is an evil demon that was originally raised in the mountains? …
"Ah Leng, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!"
Miss Bai saw me standing motionless, and pushed me several times before I came back to my senses.
"Don't be afraid, it's fine." Looking around at the fog, I said in a deep voice.
The sound of the water still echoed in my ears, and from time to time there was a cry of the damn thing mixed in. The voice sounded like a dying old cow, with an indescribable weirdness in its dullness.
"This thing seems to be an evil thing..."
I took out a 'Yiqi Yin Talisman' and handed it to Miss Bai, and said with a sneer, "Don't be afraid, let's not play with it yet, I think, Old Man Niansheng, they must have been here at night, since they are not trapped, we will not be trapped." Yuxin, look at the time, I'll play a game and see if I can find a way out. ”
Last time, because of the heavy rain, Miss Bai didn't have her mobile phone with her, and she didn't know the exact time when we were trapped under the collapse. Hearing me say this at this moment, Miss Bai immediately took out her mobile phone and turned it on to look in front of her (in order to save power, as soon as she came out of the mountainous county, Miss Bai turned off the mobile phone), and after a while, she told me the time she saw.
I pinched my fingers and calculated, Miss Bai helped me memorize the situation, and soon started a bureau, this is a three-pass with the palace of the Fu Yin Bureau, Shi Gan Zhi Xun 'Ji' Luokan Palace, the value of the Tianpeng Star, the value of the Hugh Gate, all in the Kan Palace, called the Three Passes of the same Palace, the overall Fu Yin. If this kind of situation was used for marching troops in ancient times, it can be described as the worst kind of situation, and if you move, you must die, and you must wait for the opportunity, otherwise the whole army will be defeated.
