Chapter 23: Demons

Bao's father and son are called Bao Xiaotong and Bao Datong, but the strange thing is that the father is called Bao Xiaotong, and his son is named Bao Datong.

They said that Ah Zhan had called them with his mind, and I was skeptical, because on the one hand, I sensed that they had no ill intentions, and on the other hand, after this night's horror, I was not easy to accept the new situation. But I was anxious about Ah Zhan's situation, and finally decided to believe them, so I went to the waterhole together.

"Really, people with Taoist skills will have this kind of teleportation method of thoughts, and the common people call this telepathy, but look at you stupidly, you don't understand it!" Bao Datong talked a lot, I hated him very much, but he pestered me.

"Don't you people of the world like to talk? Eight years ago, I saw that Ruan Zhan once, he is even more powerful than you, and he can go a whole day without saying a word. "His mouth 'smacked' sound, a 'I don't understand you' idiot look, that face for some reason makes me hate it very much, if it weren't for the fact that a hand is broken, not because I'm in a hurry to find Ah Zhan, I really want to punch him on that grinning face!

He chattered so much along the way, from the middle of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and when I was about to be torn by him with a headache and unbearable, I saw Ah Zhan sitting quietly on the edge of the waterhole.

"Ah Zhan!" I screamed and immediately ran over, and saw that his nose and face were swollen, and there were many bleeding places on his body, and his right hand was simply fixed with a branch, which was obviously broken!

"It's hard to be a brother!" Bao Datong next to him suddenly burst out, with a can't help but smile in his tone, which made me angry, but Ah Zhan still looked lukewarm.

"Are you alright?" Ah Zhan ignored Bao Datong and turned to ask me.

"I'm fine. But a total of four classmates died, and the rest were gone. "I was ashamed and told me what had happened that night.

"Then you didn't say it just now!" Bao Datong interjected again, "Maybe we can find clues there?" ”

I was angry, but before I could speak, Ah Zhan said, "What use can you have?" ”

"Then you called us!"

"I wanted to invite Uncle Bao, who knew it would be useless to come with one!"

"Uh-" Bao Datong was choked by Ah Zhan and couldn't reply. I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't laugh at the thought of what happened this night!

"Children, don't quarrel when you meet!" Uncle Bao Xiaotong finally spoke, and finally calmed down the scene of a verbal fight first, "I noticed when I came over just now, there is indeed a yin qi that has been extending here!" Ah Zhan, what's going on? ”

"There's a weird baby, it seems to be the child of the female ghost, but judging from the process of my fight with him, he is not a ghost!"

"It's the process of being beaten!" Bao Datong muttered.

Ah Zhan ignored him and continued, "As soon as I came to the waterhole, he pursued all the way, desperately trying to stop me. Several times, I almost died at his hands, and I guess he had at least a hundred years of Taoism. Still, I know his lair must be here! So when it was dawn and he suddenly disappeared, I stayed here to see if anything changed. ”

When Bao Datong heard this, he opened his mouth again, wanting to say something, but after receiving a pair of white-eyed flying knives from his father, he stuck out his tongue and shut up.

"Won't he see the light of day?" Uncle Bao asked.

Ah Zhan shook his head, "He is very sensitive to light, and the sunlight suddenly disappears as soon as it comes out of the top of the mountain, but he is not a ghost, I can feel this, what is going on?" ”

"It must be a ghost, that is to say, although it is a demon, it lives underground, and it is in the company of the things of the extreme yin, and feeds on the things that rot the yin, so it is also afraid of the light."

"But what's going on? How did we provoke them? I asked indignantly.

"How can these things be speculated by common sense." Uncle Bao sighed, "Let's take a look first." Do you know where they are? ”

"I'm not sure, but it should be on that side." Ah Zhan stretched out his hand and pointed, "I just felt that there was a ghost qi sneaking into there too!" ”

"Not sure? It's a pity that your natural goodness is sealed! Alas, the tyrannical destruction of heavenly things, the violent destruction of heavenly things! Uncle Bao shook his head and sighed, and slowly walked to a relatively high place, with peculiar footwork, as if it was a formation according to certain rules, and we followed behind him.

The direction that Zhan was pointing to was a little in front of our campsite, which had been flooded last night, but only one night, the water had receded rapidly, revealing a gravel field like a river stall. Because those little cobblestones are moist and cute, we picked up some yesterday, and never thought there could be anything horrible down there!

The place is a basin-like low-lying land, surrounded by cliffs on three sides and gentle mountains on one side, which slowly stretches upward. We came in from this side of the mountain, and in fact it was the only exit from the small valley. Directly opposite the hillside is the small but lovely waterfall and the waterhole that looks crystal clear during the day.

The beautiful sun is shining brightly in this valley at the moment, and the scenery after the new rain looks so refreshing and beautiful, but we almost died here last night, it is like hell in my memory!

Uncle Bao closed his eyes, and did not pinch his fingers as I imagined the Taoist priest, but just closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said, "The time is not right, another hour will be the right time for us." If that thing is fierce, we can trap him until three o'clock in the afternoon, and we can catch it all in one go. ”

Uncle Bao spoke quite anciently, I listened to it a little bit incomprehensibly, and later learned that three o'clock in the afternoon was the most vigorous time of the day, and it was for this reason that the prisoners were to be cut at that time in ancient times, and they thought that the people who were executed at this time would not come back to take revenge!

I watched Uncle Bao take Bao Datong to prepare in an orderly manner, and he was looking for a big round stone to make an incense case, and he was putting charms and magic weapons or something, which was completely different from Ah Zhan's understatement with both hands, and it was the same as acting, and I felt that this father and son were quite unreliable. And although the camp was full of messes, full of things we discarded yesterday, I didn't dare to go forward to clean up, so I slowly came to Ah Zhan's side.

"If you don't take the opportunity to do it now, won't that thing run away?" I asked in a low voice.

"This is their old lair, and now that it's getting dark, their abilities are strong, but they haven't reached the point where they can run out in broad daylight! Besides, the direction where Uncle Bao stood was not standing casually, it was the town position. ”

"Who is this Bao father and son?" I lowered my voice, "Looks like an extra, is it reliable?" ”

"Uncle Bao is a friend of my father, and my father took me to see them during the summer vacation eight years ago." Ah Zhan glanced at the aura-looking little Taoist Bao Datong, "He and my dad are not a faction, but they cherish each other, so they have made a promise to each other, if either party encounters difficulties, the other party will help once, and will do their best, regardless of life or death!" ”

"So you found them with that idea? So how did they come so fast? ”

"They live in the mountains, and the reason why I agreed to travel here with you was to stop by to see them."

When I heard Ah Zhan say that, I had a little more doubt about the ability of these two masters, thinking that if they lived thousands of miles away and arrived here overnight, they could still say that they were flying with Edgeworth or some kind of spell, but they actually lived in this mountain, so if they arrived so late, wouldn't they just come with their legs!

However, Ah Zhan obviously saw my doubts and added, "I only passed on the idea to Uncle Bao in the morning, and I have been chased and killed this night, and it has almost become a problem to escape for my life, so how can I have time to apply for support." ”

"That's pretty much it, seeing that this uncle has brought so many bits and pieces, I'm afraid he will have to clean up for a while, then they will come quickly! But is it really okay? "With so many classmates uncertain about their lives and deaths, I really can't feel at ease.

"Let's put it this way-" Ah Zhan looked at me with certainty, "My dad has passed away, and in my opinion, among the living people, if Uncle Bao can't cure that ghost, then let's wait for death together!" ”

Listening to Ah Zhan say that, I had to shut up, but because I was uneasy, I kept peeking at the father and son, and after seeing them pack up their things, Uncle Bao sat by the stone and closed his eyes, as if nothing had happened, and that calm concentration was so impressive to me, and Bao Datong could not help but talk nonsense and stood quietly on the side.

After I don't know how long, anyway, when I almost couldn't bear it anymore, Uncle Bao finally opened his eyes.

"Datong, hold the town position and listen to my orders." He stood up and ordered, "Ah Zhan, you guard the intersection and never let him go out from here!" Wanli, you come with me, I want to borrow your extremely prosperous yang energy! ”

I looked up at him, and almost instantly changed my impression of him, and began to have confidence in catching ghosts and monsters. Because he is so different at this time, he is no longer the old man with a smile on his face, loyal, silly and even a little funny, but a master with bright eyes and calm demeanor!

The three of us juniors responded respectfully, and each of us did as I was told. I followed him and walked slowly up the gravel field.

As soon as I got there, I felt that the stones under my feet moved unusually, and I felt like something was shaking. My feet went limp, and I sat down on the ground. Before I could get up, I vaguely heard a voice from the ground, "Son, people often say that loving mothers are defeated, you shouldn't disobey my advice and provoke this group of people, two of them are not mortals, and this is a monstrous disaster!" I can't run away, son, run away, take my mother's beads and run for your life! Let's go, let's go! ”

Urging, reluctance, and crying are the voices of the female ghost in gorgeous clothes. But at this time, she is not a little cruel and gloomy, but sad and sad, and the feeling of a mother in the world when she sends her child on a long trip is the same, maybe more miserable, which makes me a little unbearable in an instant.

"Come thousands of miles and stand in this position!" Uncle Bao called me, although I didn't have Ah Zhan's cold as a knife when facing the enemy, but I was also very calm, as if I was doing a job, without the slightest mercy.

When I heard this, I walked over and saw him make a circle on the ground. Obviously, it was a gesture with an ordinary peachwood sword, but a red mark was protruding on the ground, and then a charm was casually burned in it, and strangely enough, there was no paper ash left.

"Enter the circle, I want to borrow your yang energy!" He said, not knowing if there was an enchantment, and he was not afraid that our words would be heard by the things below, "You can sit, you can lie down, you can even sleep, as long as you don't let your feet leave the circle!" Can it be done? ”

Before I could answer, there was another violent shaking under my feet, and the whole ground rumbled, like a localized earthquake.

"He's coming!" Uncle Bao said with a solemn face, and immediately retreated to ten meters at a speed that I couldn't describe, and then defended another direction.

I wanted to ask something, but before I could say anything, there was a 'bang', and a big hole broke through the ground, and a small gray thing with a long fluffy tail broke through the ground!
