Chapter Seventy-Two: Illusion and Illusion
After returning to the ruined temple, Xiao Hei stood guard at the door. And I feel more and more sleepy, and I think I also have a big heart, and I can sleep in such a situation.
After daybreak, the whole village returned to its daylight appearance. The snow melted in twos and threes, and there were a few pedestrians on the road. I climbed onto the roof of the village and squatted for a long time.
The old woman selling flowers was not there at this time. A middle-aged man in a cloth coat was rushing home with a load of firewood, and a mother, holding a little boy's hand, walked to one side. A blacksmith was still banging on a cold day, and a man stood outside the counter to discuss something with him. There was also a man who looked like a scholar, walking from the head of the village to the end of the village, and from the end of the village to the head of the village, not knowing what he was looking for.
Xiaobai also jumped up, lay beside me, and said disappointedly, "I searched the whole village, but I didn't find anything good to eat." The doors of every house were locked, and I condescendingly got into the dog hole, and who knew that the dust inside was piled up, and the house was uninhabited. ”
"What did you say?" I said, turning my head.
"I said that there is no one living here at all, brother, if we continue like this, we will starve to death if we run out of dry food. Xiaobai was a little helpless.
I pointed to the pedestrians on the road with my chin and said, "Maybe it's just going out." You say no one lives, so what's next?"
As soon as I said that, I also felt that something was wrong. When I first arrived at the village yesterday, I saw these few pedestrians. Yesterday, when I was buying flowers, the middle-aged man carrying firewood seemed to be passing behind me, and as I was going to the ruined temple, I heard the blacksmith knocking, and the mother and son seemed to be walking from the opposite alley.
My eyes began to look for traces of the scholar-like man, and when I saw him walking in at the entrance of the village, I couldn't wait to jump off the roof and walk towards him.
I made a gesture and said, "This brother, excuse me, I'm placing an order... Eaves, under the surname single, a single name and an eaves word, I want to ask my brother Tai...... "Because I didn't prepare a fake name in advance, I saw the eaves and randomly installed this name for myself, as a result, I maintained a polite posture, and before I finished speaking, the man walked in front of me without looking."
I was stunned for a moment, ran in front of him in three or two steps, and repeated: "Under the ......." Who knows, he is still walking on his own.
I stopped and sighed, "This man is really rude. ”
And Xiaobai on the side, grinning with his teeth, wanted to rush up and bite him.
In the next second, Xiaobai really rushed up and bit him.
Xiaobai, who had a hideous face, pounced on him and wanted to bite him on the shoulder, but it passed through his body and smashed to the ground, almost stopping the car.
Is man an imaginary body?
Seeing this scene, I looked at Xiao Baimian face to face.
Xiaobai's reaction was half a beat slower, and he was stunned for a while and suddenly rushed towards me, saying, "Sister, I really can't stand you! Aren't you a spirit girl?! This place is so strange that you can't find it!"
I was also stunned for a moment and said, "This is not demonic art, there is no demonic energy at all." How can I see that? Besides, aren't you a fox demon? What are you capable of? Why can't you see it?"
Xiao Bai said hatefully: "I've only been cultivating for a hundred years, and I've just cultivated my human form, and you have such high requirements for me, in the fox world, my freshwater is already very powerful, you know? Besides, my ability is useless here." ”
I jumped back to the roof with Xiaobai in two steps and said, "There is indeed no demonic spirit here. If there really is, it's also ghostly, the thing I hate the most. Since you know more than I do, can you see anything?"
"I can't see it! what now?" Xiaobai poked his head out of my arms and said.
I'm so helpless, what can I do, I want to run away now. After looking around and finding that there was no one missing, I asked Xiaobai, "Where did Xiaohei run again?"
"I don't know, he's gone early in the morning. ”
"Are we going to wait for him?" I asked.
"What are you going to do?" The next second, the clever Xiaobai discovered my intentions, and sneered: "Oh, the dignified spirit girl, she is actually afraid of ghosts, and she wants to leave her companion and run away." ”
I grabbed its neck and said viciously, "Afraid of ghosts, it is also the nemesis of your demon clan." ”
One thing, I must admit, is that I've never encountered a ghost clan. It stands to reason that the Spirit Clan should not be afraid of the Ghost Clan, and my little problem is just a remnant of peeking at the pamphlet when I was a child, and it is a long story to say, it is simply a shadow of my childhood.
At that time, I was alone most of the time. Before Shan Junhuang appeared, I had auditory hallucinations for a long time, always thinking that someone was calling me, sometimes, it was a child's voice, sometimes, it was a man's voice, and sometimes, it was a woman. What's more, a burst of laughter can be heard, like a ghost. But every time I look back, there is no one to be seen. was young and ignorant, and when he looked at "Ghost Clan Records", he connected what was written in the book with himself. Over time, even the ghost clan also hated it. Fortunately, after Shan Junhuang appeared, the voice disappeared.
Xiao Bai was glared at by me, obedient, and said, "Then are we going back to the broken temple to wait for Xiao Hei to come back?"
I stared at where I bought the flowers yesterday and said, "That old woman didn't show up." ”
There was nothing to do anyway, and I didn't dare to run around, so I simply squatted on the roof and waited. I told Xiaobai to keep an eye on the old woman's movements.
Until the evening, the sky began to set. Strange to say, fire clouds have always been rare in winter, but today they spread half the sky, and I couldn't help but be drawn to my attention. It's obviously a cold day, but there is an illusion of being in a furnace. The sunset is blood-red, the white walls are reflected in rosewood, the unmelted snow is reflected in red-orange, and the pedestrian figures are crossed with a layer of golden light.
At this moment of distraction, the old woman appeared at the entrance of the village, still in the original position. I beckoned Xiaobai to go down with me.
She was still smiling and selling flowers at the entrance of the village.
"Sell flowers. ”
I opened my mouth and asked, "Old woman, why did you sell me Manju Sahua?
"Wandering flowers, do you want to buy one?"
I was unwilling to ask again: "Old woman, you haven't answered me yet." ”
"Selling flowers in this life, my mother-in-law will look good in the next life. ”
I sighed. She said exactly the same thing as she did yesterday.
Xiaobai in his arms began to grin.
I strangled Xiaobai, and it immediately closed its teeth.
I hesitated to buy another one, but finally pulled out the broken silver and bought one. When I was buying flowers, I kept an eye on it and pretended to touch the old woman's hand inadvertently.
It's a cold temperature, but it's true, it's an entity.
