Chapter 7: The White Bone Skeleton Reappears
Chapter 7: The White Bone Skeleton Reappears
A breeze blew, and the treetops next to him made a gentle sound, and there was a coolness that made Lin Feng's body shake and make him smart. When Lin Feng came back, it was the end of October, and he stayed home for a day, and today is the second day when he comes here, and it is already the beginning of November, so it is normal to feel cold at this time.
"It's been almost two days, I don't know what the situation of my parents is, I don't know if I'm okay, I must be worried about myself, God willing, let my parents be safe."
Lin Feng prayed in his heart, looked around vigilantly, and did not find anything unusual. The old black dog turned around three times in front, seemingly urging Lin Feng to hurry up and keep up with him.
Lin Feng ran his thoughts away from his mind, quickly followed the old black dog, and rushed home, now is not the time to think about this, it is the right way to go back first.
Ten minutes later, the old black dog and Lin Feng returned to the door, Lin Feng took out the key to open the lock, pushed the door open, and found that everything was normal inside, nothing abnormal, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The old black dog's eyes flickered, and he found a comfortable place, and lay down, squinting, and no longer moving. Suddenly, a strange aura circulated on the old black dog's body, exuding a faint green glow.
Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly closed the door, blocked it, and then leaned in front of the old black dog and looked at it worriedly. Lin Feng guessed that the fruit like green agate had not changed much, but the old black dog might also be worried that the cave was not safe, and controlled the effect of the medicine, so he began to absorb the energy of the fruit when he returned home.
As for why it can control when to absorb the effect of the medicine, it may be that the old black dog has undergone some incredible changes in his body, after all, since it vomited and ate the thing suspected to be the soul fire, it has become all kinds of strange and indescribable, and even itself is "growing in reverse", and it has begun to return to the prime of life from old age.
Therefore, being able to control where to choose to absorb energy may be awakening some kind of talent!
There is also why he didn't start absorbing it when he returned home, he was not afraid that he would attract other mutated beasts and dirty things like white bone skeletons, Lin Feng could only hope that the old black dog had a sensitive feeling as a dog, and he could predict the prophet and detect the danger in advance.
Lin Feng stayed next to the old black dog for a while, and found that he was a little hungry, and found that it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and it had been three or four hours since he went out in the morning, no wonder he was hungry. Fortunately, I prepared the lunch meal in the morning, and hurriedly took it to heat it up and ate it.
After eating, Lin Feng packed up everything, checked the house again, found no abnormality, exhaled lightly, put his mind at ease, and looked at the old black dog, still there motionless, the light on his body was already restrained, it seemed that he was almost finished, and he was no longer worried. Pick up the blood-like knife that you had "picked up" in the cave and look at it again.
The blood knife, no, it should be said that the "psychic knife" is not emitting a seeping red light, like a treasure covered with dust, and like a sharp and restrained edge.
Lin Feng looked carefully, his fingers gently stroked the blade of the knife, the handle of the knife, as if stroking a peerless treasure, the more he touched it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't put it down, but the cracks on it destroyed the beauty, spreading out like a spider's web, all over the body.
Lin Feng gently tapped the blade with his hand, making a crisp and light sound. The sound is like gold but not gold, like iron but not iron.
Lin Feng stood up, held the knife in his right hand, made a straight line with his hand, stood still, and soon his hand began to tremble and spasm. Lin Feng gritted his teeth, desperately trying to keep this action for a long time, but soon he couldn't hold on anymore, let it go, and rubbed the numb muscles of his right hand with his left hand.
"It's too heavy! It's about fifty or sixty pounds, it's not much of a problem to lift it, the key is to swing it briskly and dexterously, it's very difficult to command your arms, Lin Feng just did that action, just to see how long he held on and how hard he worked. If you are like no one, it means that you can easily use this knife, but it backfires, although you have been exercising, but you have not yet reached the realm of seeing fifty or sixty pounds with one hand as nothing, and your hands should not be a big problem, but they are very bulky, and they must not be able to send and receive freely.
This place is a bit small, not suitable for wielding and practicing here, and Lin Feng is also afraid of disturbing the old black dog, for fear of accidentally letting it "go crazy." ”
"It's still sunny now, I guess there shouldn't be anything dirty, even if there is daylight, I'm not very afraid. ”
Thinking of this, Lin Feng opened the door, picked up his knife and walked out, the wind outside was beautiful, the trees in the distance rustled with the wind, everything was beautiful, and there was no danger to see. Lin Feng opened the door, came to an open space outside the door, picked up the knife and began to swing, and began to exercise, trying to get himself used to this weight as quickly as possible.
At the beginning of the period, he danced in a disorderly manner for a few minutes, feeling useless, Lin Feng remembered that when he collected pictures of various knives before, he also took a look at the so-called "knife cheats" by the way. It is now impossible to destroy rivers and open mountains with one sword, cut off water, open mountains and crack rocks, and sword qi spanning 30,000 miles. But you can start with the basics.
The most important thing in practicing knives is to practice the basic knife skills well, the so-called high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and only by laying a good foundation can we go further. According to Lin Feng's understanding of the basic knife method of morality, it is also the so-called basic techniques such as splitting, chopping, teasing, hanging, piercing, chopping, sweeping, etc. The knife technique is characterized by bravery, speed, momentum, and strength, like a tiger.
Lin Feng had never been exposed to knife techniques before, but he had only a general understanding. After thinking about it, Lin Feng chose the action of "splitting", and decided to practice one action at a time, practice one action and then practice the next action, he still knows if he is greedy and chews more. No matter what you do, you should not be half-hearted and so-so.
As soon as he thought of it, Lin Feng took the knife in one hand, raised the knife above his head, and then swung it down, and then tried his best to control it from slamming into the ground, stopping at the same height each time. This is more difficult than simply swinging the knife hard, especially since the weight of this knife is too heavy and difficult to control, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty, but Lin Feng is a tough person with a strong horn in his bones, and he feels that he must do his best. Whether it is for people or things, Lin Feng has also demanded this from himself since he was a child, and Lin Feng's results have always been among the best. Even after work, this habit has never changed.
Soon, Lin Feng sweated like rain, and his arms began to disobey the call, Lin Feng still gritted his teeth and persisted, he really couldn't hold on, so he sat next to him and rested for a while, took the old medicinal wine at home, applied it to it, and slapped the overexerted muscles hard, just to prevent the muscles from sore all over his body when he got up the next day.
Slowly, the sun sank from the west, and the sky began to darken. The trees in the distance were swaying in the wind, and the gaps in the forest changed shapes as the trees swayed, looking like demons and monsters were constantly baring their teeth and claws, revealing their terrible fangs.
As soon as Lin Feng got serious, he would forget to sleep and eat, and only then did he know that the sun had set when the sky was getting darker, and it was now November, and the sky was completely dark at six o'clock. Lin Feng wiped a handful of sweat, relaxed his whole body, and looked around, there was nothing abnormal. He picked up the knife and walked into the house silently. Close the door, prepare to take a shower, then cook dinner, exercise for most of the day, energy consumption is too fast, already a little hungry.
I saw that the old black dog was still lying there, motionless, breathing steadily, without the slightest sign of badness. However, it seems that there is no faint green light flickering anymore, Lin Feng probably should be about to finish laughing at the fruit like green agate, and he is not too worried, he stayed by the old black dog's side for a while, recovered his strength, and turned to do his own thing, after all, the old black dog did not look like he would put himself in danger at all.
It was past nine o'clock in the night, and Lin Feng felt that his body seemed to be about to recover, and his body was better than before.
"Is it because of the changes in heaven and earth?"
Lin Feng went out in the past two days and saw a lot of dead old trees outside starting to change their hair and sprouts, which was something that was unimaginable before, not to mention that it was winter now, those trees had already died, and they could still take root and sprout, and they grew more verdant than before, which was really strange. There are also those animals that have undergone inexplicable changes, and there is such an example around them, isn't the old black dog!
If it had been before, those so-called experts had already been sliced and studied, and the white bone skeleton from the night before was even more unbelievable, it was something from novels and legends, how could it appear here, as if there was a mysterious force driving all this.
"This mysterious power is so useful to animals and plants, it should also have an effect on people, but it is difficult to reflect it for a while, does it mean that the heavens and the earth have begun to change, and the 'aura' has recovered, from the era of the end of the law to the era of myths and legends that everyone can cultivate and everyone can fly to the sky?" Lin Feng thought secretly in his heart.
If this is the case, Lin Feng has some faint expectations in his heart. But more is worried, if it really becomes like that, this society will be chaotic, there is no strong force to restrain it, people's desires begin to become infinite, order begins to collapse, the code of ethics is often no longer people's moral standards, believe in the supremacy of power, the strong dominate everything, there was still a law to restrain before, what else can be restrained at that time?
Lin Feng is silent, he is not a very ambitious person, he just wants to guard everything he cares about, such as his parents and brothers, he wants to be filial by his parents' side, and then marry a wife, have a child, and live this life plainly but warmly, but now....
"Forget it, since you can't change everything, then adapt to all this, make yourself strong, let your fate be in your own hands, first find your parents and younger brother, no matter what becomes like in the future, face it together as a family, even if there are any accidents, there are no regrets. Lin Feng thought.
Suddenly, a slimy thing was licking in Lin Feng's hand, and Lin Feng jumped down, and when he looked at it, the principle was that the old black dog woke up and was licking his palm affectionately.
"Ah Fu, how do you feel when you wake up?" Lin Feng looked at the old black dog in surprise, and the old black dog circled around Lin Feng, and jumped a few times, indicating that he was in good shape.
Lin Feng was a little suspicious, as if there was no change after eating that fruit? Then Lin Feng laughed softly, who cares about him so much, as long as the old black dog is fine, he is not a very curious person, he reached out and hugged the old black dog's neck, just like when he was a child, gently stroking the old black dog's head.
Lin Feng didn't know if it was an illusion, as if the old black dog's fur was smoother, like black satin.
After playing with the old black dog for a while, Lin Feng looked at the time and unconsciously it was already more than eleven o'clock in the night, checked it again in the room, put the psychic blood knife within reach, and began to sleep, probably too tired, and soon fell asleep.
At night, there is no moon in the sky, only stars, and you can vaguely see the scenery not far away. To the southeast of Lin Feng's house is a "lake and ocean field", in fact, this is Lin Feng's local dialect here, which is actually "swamp field".
The swampy fields are in the low-lying waterlogged and groundwater overflow zone, the cold spring water is often exposed, and the muddy areas with weeds and different depths are generally located in mountain pits, which are difficult to cultivate and have low yields.
When Lin Feng was a child, his family still farmed there, just to be able to collect more grain and sell some money for Lin Feng's two brothers to study.
But now it has been abandoned, and the changes in the leylines in the past few days have really turned it into a large swamp. At this time, confused and foggy, white bone arms stretched out from these swamps, and they seemed to be unable to see their heads at a glance.
Then a white skeleton got up, the soul fire in the skull swayed, looking from a distance, like a lantern floating, slowly walking towards the direction of Lin Feng's home, and the bones made a "click" sound during the walk, with this scene in this night is particularly infiltrating.
Lin Feng seemed to be having a nightmare at this time, frowning, muttering words in his mouth, and his clothes were already wet with sweat.
Suddenly. Lin Feng sat up straight, panting, and looked around in shock, only to realize that it was a dream, but he couldn't remember what the dream was.
Reaching out and picking up the psychic blood knife, his heart was a little calm.
I don't know why, the apprehension in my heart has not dissipated, the night is terrible, Lin Feng can clearly hear his heartbeat, and his heart is inexplicably depressed, as if he met the white bone skeleton the day before yesterday.
Suddenly feeling something, Huo Di looked at the place where the old black dog was sitting, but there was nothing.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, suddenly became like a sharp sword, clenched the knife in his hand, tiptoed up, and began to look for the trace of the old black dog, and found that the door had been opened a small crack, Lin Feng went out along the small crack, and saw the old black dog standing on the slope not far away, his body was tense, his fur exploded slightly, the green light in his eyes was victorious, it was a foot long, his throat made a muffled sound, and he looked down the slope condescendingly, as if he was facing a great enemy.
Lin Feng quickly came to the old black dog's side, and looked at its line of sight, a white expanse, little by little firelight floating. Slowly moving towards this side, and then the faint light, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a large white bone skeleton, and the soul fire of the head was swaying, like a fire candle in the wind.
Lin Feng felt a cool air rise from the soles of his feet, and it was cold to the top of his head, and then from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Startled into a cold sweat, his body trembled slightly, and a wave of fear and despair surged into his heart.
