Chapter 40: The Fish Rock of Chaos
The ticking of the clock, the sound of breathing, the sound of a heartbeat in the chest.
I looked at the black feathers on the ground, and fine cold sweat appeared on my forehead, if according to what Guan Qing just said, the appearance of black feathers is a harbinger of great disaster.
A few minutes later, I received the seven feathers into a bag, put on my clothes and rushed out the door, even if I didn't trust Zong An anymore, but at this time, it should be the most correct choice to tell the powerful Zong family about the situation in time.
The air at night was as cold as ice, and my hand holding the bag quickly froze, Zong An only went out a minute or two earlier than me, but the strange thing was that I didn't catch up with him all the way, Tianbei groceries were not far from the Bauhinia Courtyard, and I saw that I was in front of Yuji, so I quickened my pace.
Ten minutes later, I realized the seriousness of the problem.
According to the usual appearance, I should have stood at the door of the Bauhinia Courtyard five minutes ago, and I should have entered the house to study the feathers with Zong An at this time, but I couldn't get close to the fish rock that was close at hand, so I could only keep watching that it was almost there, but I couldn't get in, I took out my mobile phone and wanted to call Zong An, but found that there was no signal. It seems that someone didn't want me to tell the clan about this, so they did something along the way and set up a labyrinth-like thing to confuse me.
But who would do it? Why would it do it? If it's really a catastrophe... didn't want me to meet with Zong An, and it didn't hurt me, but simply delayed my time......
The only possibility, this disaster, is not only related to the monsters, but also to Zong'an...... No, it has something to do with the Zong family, and even all the demon slayers.
The panic when he saw the black feather just now has calmed down a lot, and now he has to hurry up and tell Zong An about the feather. I stopped, stood still trying to find a breakthrough.
Since it is confusion, there must be truth and falsehood, as long as I find the true way, I can go out.
Thinking of this, I began to carefully observe the scenery in front of me, there is no problem with the road, as usual, there is no problem with the street lights, the broken light is still broken, the street signs are also normal, there are no suspicious changes, even the green belt on the side of the road seems to be no different.
If it's an illusion, that's all too real.
I closed my eyes and tried to feel if there was any youkai-related aura nearby, but I didn't feel anything except the seven feathers in the bag that had a youkai scent.
No, how could there be no breath of youkai in the vicinity of Yuji? Where did all the monsters go? The question in my mind is enough to write a new 100,000 why.
At this moment, the white feathers in the bag suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, which made me reflexively close my eyes, and the sound of something cracking next to my ears sounded.
After the light disappeared, the unconventional scenery in front of me was covered with cracks, and I gently pushed it with my hand, and with a bang, the false scenery shattered into pieces around me, and the breath of the monster reappeared, and the real fish appeared in front of me.
The feathers of mythical beasts still have this function... It's really a long insight, but after seeing the original appearance of Yuiso, the heart that has calmed down begins to beat faster again.
Today's Yuji not only has the breath of monsters, but also unimaginably much, almost all the places I see are monsters, a large number of monsters around the Bauhinia courtyard, some sad faces, some hideous faces, only one thing can be determined, I was once again unconsciously involved in a terrible thing.
"There was a human here, who made this illusion?"
"How can you let ordinary humans in?"
"Don't talk nonsense, that boy is Lord Yek. β
"Cut, it's not a good thing he's here. β
"Maybe he can help us, I've heard he's friendly to youkai. β
"Be friendly to us, don't make trouble, it's all an illusion, otherwise why would he appear at the door of the evil sect. β
"Yes, he's definitely here to report the news. β
"You see, he's coming. β
The discussion of the monsters was not shy at all, I heard every sentence clearly, and I was shocked by the large-scale gathering of monsters in front of me, who had long been surprised by the groceries in Tianbei, and was speechless.
"Thatβ" I walked into the middle of the herd, "I want to ask, is this what happened?"
The monsters, large and small, were all quiet all of a sudden.
"Excuse me, what's going on here, what are you all doing here?" I asked again, clenching the bag containing the feathers in my hand, it was the first time I faced such a large-scale youkai, it must be fake to say that I was not afraid, and the feathers in my hand were now my only lifesaver.
"You're the ghostwriter, Lord Yeke, aren't you?" After a long time, a youkai that looked like a tortoise walked out of the army of youkai, and its voice sounded like that of an old man.
"Yes, it's me. β
"Are you on our side, or on the side of the sect family. It said.
I couldn't laugh or cry, how could anyone ask this directly, even for my own safety, I would answer that I was on the side of the youkai, "If I say I'm on your side, you will believe it? What if I lied to you." β
"If you really were Lord Yeke, you wouldn't lie to us. The tortoise took a slow step forward and stretched his neck, "Youkai are not like humans, we value credibility very much, because ghostwriters have a good reputation among youkai, and we are willing to believe what you say." β
There is a whisper among the monsters, and there are voices of opposition and sighs.
"You little demons shut your mouth for me," Lu ** didn't even reply and whispered, "The fate of the monsters is not up to you little demons who have never seen the world to decide." β
I don't know where this tortoise came from, but the monsters really kept their mouths shut.
"Actually, I don't want to get involved in the struggle between the monsters and the demon exterminators...", I said, "So I won't choose either of you, I only came today to ask the sect family about important matters, as for any conflicts between the two of you, please don't bring me." β
"That means, you're not going to support demon slayers. Tortoise asked.
"Look at what's going on, if it makes sense to kill demons, I'll still help, and if you make sense, I won't sit idly by. I sighed, I couldn't waste any more time here, "But if it's what I'm really thinking, I don't want to get involved in any trouble related to both of you, so don't look for me except to write letters." If nothing else, I'll go first. I politely nodded to the tortoise, wanting to get to the Bauhinia Courtyard as soon as possible.
The tortoise seemed to understand me, and it took the initiative to make way for me, and although some of the monsters were not happy, they still obediently retreated under the tortoise's gaze.
"Thank you," I said to the tortoise, "whatever you have come here, I suggest that you do not directly clash with the demon slayers, it will not do you any good. β
"Lord Yeke, since you don't want to interfere, then don't ask any more. The tortoise said, "I hope you will match your words with your deeds." β
"Yes. "I took another look at the fish rock where the Bauhinia Courtyard is located, the originally spacious grass was crowded with monsters like rushing to the market, judging from the tortoise's words just now, the monsters seem to be planning something, once such a number of monsters attack, even the Zong family can't resist for long, not to mention that there are several powerful guys among the monsters, but why do the monsters suddenly take the initiative to gather in front of the demon killer? Could it be that Zong An did something immoral to the monsters to make the monsters rise up and attack them? It's really hard to say. Could it be that the disaster foreshadowed by the black feathers is the confrontation between the monsters and the Zongjia? If this is the case, I knock on the door now, will the monsters take advantage of the gap in the door to attack the Zongjia? After a moment's hesitation, I still knocked on the door of the Bauhinia Courtyard in front of a large group of youkai.
"Ye Ke?" Zong An's voice sounded from the other side of the door.
"It's me. I whispered, "The last feather has appeared." β
"...."There was silence on the other side of the door for a long time, "Come in, if it's you, the monster shouldn't dare to take advantage of it." β
The door of the Bauhinia Courtyard opened a crack, and I quickly walked in and closed the door.
"Don't ask too much, come to the house first. Zong An had a dangerous smile on his face, and his left shoulder was stained with blood.
