Chapter Twenty-Four: Another Dark Shadow

It's not the first time I've seen this dark shadow, or it's not the first time I've seen this kind of dark shadow. In the house where the nine sons were dug up, after someone knocked down the statue of Zhong Kui, I have seen such a one.

The black shadow is still hazy, and there are no significant physical features, I don't know if it is a thing. I was stunned and confronted it, I didn't even feel scared, my mind just kept recalling the black shadows I had seen in the Nine Sons' house, and I wanted to try to compare them. Unfortunately, although I remember it very well, I didn't look carefully at the time.

Qin Yiheng also stared at the black shadow motionlessly, and neither of us squeaked. The shadow was also motionless, as if it were staring at us. I'm a little skeptical if this thing is a shadow of something nearby, it's not filth at all. But in this wilderness, it is simply empty.

It was five or six minutes, or maybe it was because I was so nervous that I felt like it was stretching out. Anyway, after a while, the shadow moved, and at first it shook slightly, and I began to think it was a hallucination or that I was dazzled. Then the shadow's range of movement turned out to be larger, as if it was slowly squatting, and it shrank into a ball anyway.

This time I looked at it very carefully, although the shadow did not have a clear division of limbs, it always looked like it was separated by a layer of frosted glass, and if I had to describe it, it looked a little like a shadow of water. However, the general movements can still be distinguished, at least from the outline, the shadow is indeed squatting, or kneeling.

What the does this mean? Come and worship me, kneel for me? It doesn't look like it, I squinted at Qin Yiheng, and I didn't know if Lu Dao could open his mouth to ask now, so I simply turned my face and continued to ponder by myself. After looking at it for a while, the shadow shook again, and I felt a little uneasy. Because I suddenly realized that his action was so similar to the action of starting before the 100-meter race. Holy, it's not going to be ready to run, is it?

I couldn't calm down now, so I quickly squeezed Qin Yiheng's hand with my hand, wanting to remind him. He also shook my hand vigorously to remind me to calm down. Then, he suddenly let out a soft "sigh", like a sigh, and a little like an exclamation.

I turned my head to look at him, his eyes widening, and I didn't know what I had seen. I turned around, and the shadow didn't move, still in one position.

I wondered how scary it was, but after looking at it for a while, I realized that although the shadow was not moving, it seemed to be gradually getting bigger, at least a third larger than when I first saw it. It's because it didn't stand up, and if it did, it would probably have to be two meters tall!

My palms began to sweat, but fortunately the shadow did not continue to grow larger, but after a while, it suddenly disappeared without any warning, and I wondered if it had really appeared.

Qin Yiheng cleared his throat and said, "I can move now." Grab the shovel and we'll dig up the plaster statue again. Be careful, don't break it! ”

This is another test of physical fitness, fortunately I usually go to exercise occasionally, otherwise I would have to be paralyzed tonight. Fortunately, the soil was not very solid, Qin Yiheng poured some liquid into it, and when he dug it, it was easier than the first time, but he had to be careful not to break the plaster statue by mistake, and it took more time. When the plaster statue was dug up and placed on the ground, more than half an hour passed.

Qin Yiheng circled around the plaster statue, thought about it, and asked me to take a flashlight to shine it, and he carefully began to break the body of the plaster statue little by little.

As he knocked, I wondered, most of the shadow just now came out of this plaster statue, this thing is a container? With doubts, I wondered if I would find anything if I smashed the plaster cast.

Not to mention, it really didn't disappoint me. As soon as Qin Yiheng smashed an arm, a thread or rope or something like that was exposed in the plaster statue. It's not thick, and even if there's a flashlight, you can't see it clearly. Qin Yiheng was stunned for a moment, but he actually sped up, smashed the plaster statue with a few big strokes, and then cleaned up the debris and debris, and pulled out the thing.

Qin Yiheng lifted the thing high, looked it up and down a few times, and said "I'm sorry", seeing that this thing was not a simple object. I looked at it a few times, but I didn't see anything special, but it was longer than I thought, and more cumbersome, with a lot of knots and buckles, and it looked like there were many roots connected together, and when you picked it up, it looked a bit like a fishing net, but it wasn't that complicated, at best it was a hammock half-finished.

What is this? For fishing? I asked Qin Yiheng, but he just said "um", and asked me to clean up my things, use the soil I dug up before, dry wash my hands, choose damp soil, and wait until I go back to his house.

I had no choice but to do so, picked out some soil with moisture, and rubbed it briefly, making my hands sticky and disgusting. When I was washing my hands, Qin Yiheng tidied up my things, broke down the long pole found in the plaster statue and put it into my bag, and then put the stone that smashed the plaster statue on the mound we dug upright, and took me back.

It was Qin Yiheng's car that went back, and he didn't speak on the way. I was afraid that he would be distracted, so I didn't bother. It wasn't until I entered his house, collapsed on the couch and poured a few mouthfuls of water that I asked him what was going on tonight.

Qin Yiheng opened a can of beer, sat on the sofa, took a sip, but asked me if I saw that shadow.

I nodded, and when he saw me nodding, he asked me again, what was that shadow like?

When I heard him ask, I recalled. I really didn't see what it was, but my deepest impression was that the shadow squatted down, and it got bigger.

I replied to Qin Yiheng, he nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Originally, I lost money and lost my fortune today, in order to deal with the situation like tonight, and I want to see if I can have some communication with this filth." It's just a pity that before I could get ready, this filth was taken away by the little ghost who came to seduce the soul. ”

I was speechless when he said these few words, and to sum them up, it was just six simple words: 50,000 yuan for nothing. But now, that's all it can be.

I asked him, "Is that shadow in this plaster statue all along?" ”

Qin Yiheng replied very happily: "I don't know what to do." I can't tell if this thing was confined in the early morning, or if it slipped in on its own, anyway, this shadow has something to do with it. After speaking, he opened his bag, took out the thing he found from the plaster statue, and spread it out as much as possible on the coffee table, "I can't say what this thing is called, but the purpose is obvious, this thing is the meridians made by a certain master for this plaster statue, embedded in the body of the plaster statue." ”

Is this a meridian? If he hadn't told me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have figured it out if I had eight heads!

I stood up and took a closer look at the thing, and I could see a little bit when he said that. After this meridian is spread out, it is not difficult to find that it is obviously made according to the structure of a person's body, with longer limbs and a shorter head and tail. But this is not right, how can this meridian have a tail? It's not long, but it's clearly standing out together, and it's a man to write together?

I pointed to the extra piece below and asked Qin Yiheng: "The plaster statue has obvious gender characteristics, is this part the job?" ”

He shook his head, stood up, pointed to the spot I was pointing with his hand, and said word by word, "That's the point." This is the tail, because this meridian is not human. ”

Qin Yiheng continued to tell me that at first, he couldn't think of it so far, but because he saw the filth, he could conclude it. The reason why it grows bigger, and it gets on all fours, is because, attached to the plaster cast, that is, on this meridian, is not a human filth at all, but a horseβ€”
