Chapter 25: The Man in the Mist

"How..... Why are they dead? "Shen Qingming is in chaos, he is still a rookie celestial master after all, and his personality is actually more like a senior white-collar worker, and he can't accept the fate of Zhang Ge, who was brave and invincible at that time, and died with the beast in an instant.

But he did fall into the pile of bones, and he had no physiology.

With the death of the stinging beast, the chaotic space lost most of its energy and began to fall apart, and the light and shadow of the real world penetrated in. Yang Xu calmed down a lot, dragging Shen Qingming closer to the edge of the real world.

Just when the group was desperately trying to escape, Qin Yeyou Chen Lao, who was in the deep mountains and old forests, was also in a desperate situation.

Just after noon, there was a strange sound in the forest from time to time. Even though the fog didn't enter the mountain, the cold feeling was already obvious.

Boss Chen sneezed loudly: "It's cold in the mountains, young man, pay attention to your body and don't catch a cold." ”

Qin Yeyou tilted his head, meaning that there was no problem.

Chen Lao cared about the junior and asked him, "I see that your face has been very heavy since you entered the mountain, do you remember something?"

Qin Yeyou didn't want to lie to others, so he had to nod.

"What do you have on your mind? I'm a good listener. Chen Lao bent down and walked through the forest and said, "According to my years of experience, if you hold back your words for too long, your heart will rot." ”

"Heart, how can it rot?" Qin Yeyou asked.

Chen Lao smiled: "It's better to mourn than to die, hahahaha, the reason why the old man can live so long is to understand not to immerse himself in the memories of the past." ”

"Hmm...... A long time ago, my parents took me into the mountains to hunt, and everything was the same back then. Qin Yeyou began to say, "I also caught a squirrel with my own hands and named it Xiaobo, but unfortunately disaster fell from the sky, and my parents passed away one after another, and Xiaobo didn't know where to run in the end." ”

Chen Lao didn't speak, and walked forward quietly.

Qin Yeyou continued: "Later, although things have improved, it is still inevitable that the family will fall into the middle of the road. Now that I think about it, the most regrettable thing is that when I was a child, my parents loved me too much and couldn't bear to let me learn Taoism, so I couldn't become a heavenly master. ”

Chen Lao persuaded him: "If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing." It's not too late to relax and distract from everything, and if you can't accomplish it in the past, it's not too late to do it. ”

Qin Yeyou nodded and said, "In order to make up for what I lost, I have also made many remedies, but I don't know if it's too late." ”

"It's too late, it's too late, just do it. Chen Lao said, "Look, if you don't want to say what is on your mind, I thought you were born dumb." ”

The two of them walked through a forest while talking, and there was a ruined temple on the mountainside, on which were written the three huge golden characters of the Wise King, which was very incommensurate with the dilapidated temple. When I walked into the temple, I found that it had been uninhabited for a long time. Only the statue in the middle was still spotless, and the so-called statue of the King of Wisdom had eyes on it, staring at the two people who walked in.

"The King of Wisdom..... It seems to be a Buddhist figure, but the interior architecture is very similar to the consistent style of Taoist temples, how can this statue appear here. Chen Lao took a few steps closer, "The statue of the god is not cultivated, men and women do not argue, and there is a strange scale in his hand, which is really incredible." There is such a thing hidden in the mountains and fields, and I have a hunch that the disappearance of the previous team is inseparable from this wise king. ”

Qin Yeyou was also very curious about this statue, and after observing it for a long time, he said, "This statue has eyes but no beads. ”

It's not that Qin Yeyou scolded this statue, it's really that the craftsman only carved the eyes when carving, but not the pupils.

"This ..... It reminds me of an old news for many years, there used to be a kind of esoteric religion in the YN area, cultivating eyes, to see through the truth of everything in the world, known as having eyes without beads to see everything, the sect leader has practiced to the stage of white eyes, this esoteric incense is not prosperous, it should have been disbanded for many years. ”

"There are eyes but no beads..... Can you see everything?" Qin Ye lobbied.

Chen Lao guessed: "Probably because there are no pupils, you can't see things, and you won't be blinded by the appearance of things, right?"

At the same time, the fog under the mountain also overflowed the mountainside, and Chen Lao frowned, saying in his heart why did the fog come so quickly. Chen Laoqiang calmed down and said, "Don't get in the way, I don't dare to approach the temple in this fog, and it will naturally go down after a while." ”

As soon as they rested in the temple, many villagers came out of the thick fog, holding steel forks and torches in their hands, and surrounded the ruined temple.

Chen Lao hurriedly came forward to explain: "Don't get me wrong, folks, we are not bad people, we are not here to steal things, let's put down everything in our hands and have something to talk about." ”

Before the words fell, someone in the villagers raised their hands and fired a shot at Chen Lao, and no one expected this to happen suddenly, Chen Lao took two steps back on the spot and fell to the ground, life and death unknown.

Qin Yeyou reacted faster, as soon as the gun rang out, he had already stuck to the villager's side, raised his foot and kicked away the homemade shotgun in the man's hand, grabbed the villager's wrist, and threw him into the dense fog with all his strength. Seeing this, the villagers attacked Qin Yeyou like crazy, Qin Yeyou grabbed a person's steel fork, broke it up and down into two sections, and swept down the surrounding villagers with a long stick in his hand, and the villagers rushed up, or grabbed hands or feet, so that Qin Yeyou couldn't move for a while, and someone took out two bamboo tubes and leaned against his mouth. Qin Yeyou held his breath, desperately probed his head, knocked over the bamboo tube, and the thick fog also floated out, and the villagers avoided it and let go of Qin Yeyou's control.

Qin Yeyou got out of the way a little, took advantage of the situation to drag the three spikes of the steel fork into the body of the villager behind him, and then took the torch in the man's hand and stabbed it into the chest of the villager who killed his companion by mistake. One rolled out of the encirclement, holding a person's throat with one hand like an iron tong, and the person was silent with a little force. The figure moved slightly, and then appeared behind another person, covering the person's mouth, staggering left and right, and then another person fell.

Between attacking and defending, Qin Yeyou put down four people in a row, and the remaining villagers were shocked by him, and no one dared to take a step forward.

"It's my turn. Qin Ye lobbied. He leaped into the crowd, his legs flying up and down, like harvesting ears of wheat, and walked through the crowd, which was like a wave of wheat, easily separated by him. By the time Qin Yeyou broke out of the encirclement, there were more than a dozen people lying on the ground.

The villagers looked at him like monsters, laid down their weapons and ran back into the fog trembling. Qin Yeyou didn't go after him, and quickly turned around to check on Old Chen's situation. Chen Lao was not injured by that shot, but was hit by iron sand and fainted, Qin Yeyou was just about to help Chen Lao up, when he saw that the lid of the bamboo tube had been opened, and the whereabouts of the dense fog stored inside were unknown.
