Chapter 1: Returning to the Hometown to Worship the Ancestors, Jackals Worship the Moon (Ultimate Modified Version)

Chapter 1: Returning to the hometown to worship the ancestors and worship the moon

The car was driving slowly on the rugged mountain road, and a young man dressed in white Hanfu was holding a copy of "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was looking at it with relish, and the book was telling a story of temporary reincarnation.

The book tells the story of a Mr. Sun Asan who was sick on Gaoyou's boat, and suddenly he seemed to walk to the shore and felt very cool and comfortable. In the haze, someone led him forward, and he came to a house in a trance. When I walked into the room, I saw a young woman giving birth. He tried to retreat, but suddenly he was slapped on the back, and when he woke up, he found that he had shrunk and been reincarnated as a baby. As soon as I wanted to speak, a cold air came in from the fontanelle, and I couldn't speak. On the third day, the maidservant took him to the bath and threw him to the ground, and he lost consciousness again. When he woke up again, he found himself still lying on the boat, and was told that he had been out of breath for three days, but his limbs were soft and his chest and abdomen were still warm, so he was not buried. Mr. Sun Asan hurriedly asked for a piece of paper, wrote down what he had seen, and sent someone to follow the route he had taken to the house of the person he had been reincarnated, and slowly recounted the events in detail. On the same day, he was cured of his illness, so he went to the house of the person he had been reincarnated, and the condition of the owner of the house was the same as he had dreamed, except that he had lost his son in old age. Mr. Sun Asan sighed with relative regret and called it strange.

After reading this chapter, Lin Junxuan fell into deep thought. Modern science has long proven that almost all ghost legends are superstitions, but there are many things that science cannot explain. The most fundamental point is that science has not been able to explain the existence of the soul or the consciousness of life! The legend of reincarnation exists all over the world, but no one can say whether there is reincarnation or not. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Romance of the Gods", "Journey to the West", "Journey to the East", there are more scattered legends, but as the old saying goes, 'out of nowhere', myths and legends may not all be true, but it is impossible to create them all out of thin air. Although the human imagination is mysterious, it is impossible to imagine so many myths on the basis of nothing. Behind these myths, what is the material for such a mysterious imagination? Or -- these myths are actually true.

Lin Junxuan shook his head and fell into deep thought. People's worldview always changes with discovery. Today's people find that the world is scientific, but will one day we discover that in fact, there are gods and demons in this world? Will this world be that myths and science exist side by side at the same time, or is there any secret hidden behind these myths and legends?

The boy leaned his head back in his chair and decided not to think about these questions for the time being, this time he was practicing filial piety in place of his parents, who had been doing business abroad for many years, and went home to worship his grandfather. There was still a week before the ancestor worship, and he decided to go to the county seat to visit the legendary Linggui Peak before going to his aunt's house, Linggui Peak was only famous before, and he had not personally seen it.

After getting off the train, Lin Junxuan found a random hotel near the station and stayed, rested in the hotel for a while, and then found a noodle car and went straight to Linggui Peak.

After getting out of the car, Lin Junxuan, under the guidance of the driver, took a few turns along a zigzag path and saw Linggui Peak.

A temple of red mansions is hidden in the forest, and the Linggui Temple stands on the top of the mountain like a crane. The ancient cypress on the hill is green, and the pine is covered. Linggui Peak faces the river, with steep cliffs on one side and reckless mountains and forests on the other. On the side of the Linggui Peak near the river, the center of the mountain is smoother, there is no long tree, like a natural huge gravel, a pair of huge couplets are inscribed on it with vermilion font, the upper couplet: the wind on the peak, the peak in the wind, the wind does not move, the lower link is: the boat in the continent, the boat under the continent, the boat on the continent is not good. It looked imposing and majestic, and Lin Junxuan was amazed. In the distance, a thick smell of incense came from the air. The curling incense rushed into the sky. An endless stream of pilgrims constantly shuttle through the mountain gate

On the way to Linggui Peak, there is a small stone paved forest path, and there is some moss growing on the edge of the path, which is obviously some years old. Along the way, there were more and more people, all of whom were vows. Further on, on both sides of a spacious stone road, there is a row of fortune tellers, most of whom are immortal beards.

"Little brother, come here, let Lao Dao show you, maybe you don't want money!" Lin Junxuan had just approached, and a fortune teller wearing a Taoist uniform with slightly white temples beckoned to him from a distance.

The old Taoist priest looked like a fairy wind Dao bone, Lin Junxuan thought that it was still early today, and it was only half a day to go back and forth to the top of the mountain, he wanted to see what this Taoist said, so he stretched out his palm and talked with the fortune teller with great interest. The fortune teller took his hand and looked back and forth, looking at the palm and the back of his palm, but he couldn't make a sound. The fortune teller only said with a puzzled face: "Little brother, my money, I won't accept it."

Lin Junxuan felt strange and asked, "Why is this?"

The old Taoist priest just smiled bitterly, "Poor Dao skills are still shallow, I can't guess your fate for little brother." However, I can only remind the little brother not to be too curious about the things around him recently. ”

Lin Junxuan asked again, and the old Taoist priest himself was also confused for a long time. Seeing this, Lin Junxuan could only stop there, and understood that there was no result if he asked further, so he asked instead: "What is the story of this Spirit Turtle Peak, and do you know why it is called Spirit Turtle Peak?"

The old Taoist priest stroked the whiskers under his chin and said: "It is said that this peak is like a spirit turtle lying on the river, all named Spirit Turtle Peak, there are many things about him, but the older generation all say that this spirit turtle peak is actually empty below, and there is another world below." Among them, there is also a folk story about this Linggui Peak, which should have happened in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, when the revolution was very noisy outside, but we are here in a remote area, no matter how powerful the revolution is, it has not been affected here. Suddenly, one day, there was a thick fog all around the Spirit Turtle Peak for dozens of miles, and people could not see half a meter away in the fog, which had never happened before, and the people in the mountains did not understand anything, only said that the Spirit Turtle vomited essence, but I was afraid that there would be a big disaster. Soon after the mist appeared, a Taoist priest came to the mountain, and he said that there was another world below the Spirit Turtle Peak, and now the seal between the two worlds had been loosened, and a man in the month of Zi Nian Zi Yue entered the Spirit Turtle Peak with a seal to re-seal the mouth. ”

"Did the Taoist priest find the person from Zinian Ziyuezi?" Lin Junxuan asked the road

"I found it, and the man did what the Taoist priest said, and entered the belly of the mountain with the Taoist talisman. But unexpectedly, the passage could only enter and not exit, and as soon as the man's Dao talisman was hung up, the whole mountain shook and collapsed the passage. The man was trapped at the bottom of the mountain and never came back, and people said that the young man Li Longtu was from Lijia Village in the north of the city. ”

Lin Junxuan had heard a lot of such myths and stories, and he was still a little absent-minded. When the name 'Li Longtu' came into his ears, Lin Junxuan's whole body was shocked, and he sat up straight, 'Boom!' Lin Junxuan's heart was shocked, Li Longtu was his grandfather's father, that is, the name of Taigong, and the village where his grandfather was located was Lijia Village.

This kind of rural legend would actually involve his own princess! Lin Junxuan was full of doubts in his heart. In general rural legends, most of the characters mentioned in the legends are unknown, so it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and there are few such direct names.

Bidding farewell to the old Taoist, Lin Junxuan walked in the direction of Linggui Peak Mountain, but his mind was full of the story of that Taoist.

After returning from Lin Guifeng, he stayed in the county seat for a day or two before embarking on the road back to his aunt, whose home was also in Lijia Village. More than two hours later, he got out of the car on the side of the road, some distance from his aunt's house, and had to walk to get there.

Got out of the car and slowly looked around, it was quiet, and everything around Lin Junxuan gave Lin Junxuan a strong sense of familiarity. "Squeak!" Descending the road, at the turn, a yellow figure screamed and scurried in front of him. "That should be a weasel?" Lin Junxuan felt strange, although he had been in the city for a long time, he had stayed here for a while before, and he had never seen a weasel, not to mention here, even the nearby villages had never heard of this animal, he had only seen it in some books, I don't know where they suddenly came out, it was really strange!

After a while, he had reached the outside of a dilapidated house at the bottom of the slope, and the two gray bamboo doors at the entrance were open, and the room was a little dark. As soon as the front foot stepped through the bamboo door, a hoarse sound of the doorshaft turning came from inside, and an old man with gray hair and a kind face walked out of the room. Her face was full of traces of time, but her spirit was very strong, and she walked with a vigor that old people of this age did not have.

The old man heard the sound of the bamboo door and walked out of the house, and her eyes fell on Lin Junxuan, with a puzzled look on her face.

"Are you...... , are you Xinyu's child?" said the old man with some uncertainty.

"Yes, I'm Junxuan, my aunt is good," Lin Junxuan's mother is Li Xinyu.

"Hehe, good boy," the old man stepped forward happily, touched Lin Junxuan's head, gestured, and said with a smile: "You used to come here, you were so big, and now you have grown so big." ”

"Come in and sit. ”

Although the house is a little shabby, it is very clean and the things in the house are neatly organized. Entering the floor, the old man served tea and filled the teacups. "Grandma, how did you recognize me at a glance?" After taking a sip of tea, Lin Junxuan asked, before Li Ruochen said it just now, the old man seemed to recognize me at a glance. Although he said that he had seen it before, it was a long time ago, and he was still a child.

"You look a lot like your grandfather," the old man said with a look of remembrance on his face, "It's so similar." "The old man and Lin Junxuan's grandfather are brother and sister, so they are naturally very familiar.

After saying some homely things, Lin Junxuan spoke: "Grandma, there is something I want to ask you, it is about Taigong." ”

"Taigong?" The old man shook and looked at Lin Junxuan with a strange look: "Did you hear something outside?"

"Auntie, I went to the Linggui Temple a few days ago, and I heard a Taoist priest tell a story that the Linggui Peak Mountain is empty, and there is another world below. A Taoist priest sent someone to put a Taoist talisman underneath, saying that it was a seal there. The Taoist priest said that the man's name was Li Longtu! ”

"Your grandfather died early, and neither your grandfather nor I have a deep impression of him. The old man sighed, as if reminiscing about the era they had experienced, and then said, "You should be tired from riding in the car, rest for a while, and I'll tidy up your room first." After saying that, the old man went to work.

After dinner, Lin Junxuan returned to the room arranged by his aunt, sorted out his salutes, and then prepared to sleep. After a while, the old man knocked on the door outside and walked in.

"Jun Xuan," the old man looked at Lin Junxuan kindly: "I've lived in the city for a long time, won't I be used to sleeping in the countryside?"

"No," Lin Junxuan shook his head, "It's quiet here, I like it." ”

"That's good, that's good," the old man smiled, "so I'll rest assured, then you can sleep." ”

"Well," Lin Junxuan answered, and just as the old man was about to walk out of the door, Lin Junxuan shouted, "Grandma!"

"Child, is there anything else?" the old man turned around and looked at Lin Junxuan kindly.

"Grandma, you haven't answered my question during the day. Lin Junxuan looked at the old man's eyes and said.

The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lin Junxuan to continue to ask this question. Turning around, the old man walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at Lin Junxuan, and muttered, "It's really like!"

"Grandma, who are you like, didn't you say that I looked like my grandfather when you first entered the door?" Lin Junxuan asked:

"Taigong, you are more like your Taigong!" The old man showed a look of remembrance on his face: "When I was young with your grandfather, your grandfather left and never appeared again." In my vague impression, when your grandfather left, it was similar to what you are now. ”

"Is the Taigong mentioned in the legend true?" Lin Junxuan looked at the old man.

The old man looked at Lin Junxuan and asked, "After dinner today, I saw that you were reading a book, it didn't look like a novel, right?"

"'Hundred Schools of Thought,'" Lin Junxuan replied, "It's an ancient book of the pre-Qin dynasty." ”

There was a look of appreciation in the old man's eyes: "Nowadays, there are very few young people like you who like ancient books. ”

"Jun Xuan, it's rare for you to come here, I'm about to enter the ground, I'll give you two things from your grandfather's past," the old man stretched out his hands and necks tremblingly, and took off a simple chain from his neck, the chain was a little old, there seemed to be some patterns on the surface, and in the middle of the chain hung a star pendant the size of a fingernail, the surface of the star pendant was a little like a patina, and there were some other small vague patterns. Such a pendant chain can only be said to be a little ancient, not beautiful, in this era of wearing gold and jade, and the most unfortunate is also decorated with silver, such a thing is really not very popular.

The old man held the star pendant, and his expression was very solemn, as if this was a very precious thing.

"Grandma, this is your personal thing, I can't ask for it!" Lin Junxuan looked at the old man very solemnly, knowing that this star pendant was very important to her, and refused.

The old man shook his head: "I'm in my eighties, almost ninety years old, and I'm almost at the age of going to the ground." This pendant was handed down from my mother, and of course it will be passed down from my hand. It's just a pity that my children and grandchildren are not interested in these, I only remembered to give it to you when I saw that you were interested" Speaking of this, the old man's eyes showed a deep helplessness.

"Thank you, Grandma," glancing at the old man, Lin Junxuan thoughtfully, and took the star pendant that the old man untied from his neck with both hands.

The old man then held a box and walked to the bedside, and the old man handed over the rusty iron box: "This thing, my aunt and grandmother have been collecting it for more than 60 years, and it was also passed down by your grandfather." Jun Xuan, you are a person who has read books, you should be able to understand, na, my aunt gave it to you. ”

Lin Junxuan took the box and opened the rusty lid of the box, and at the bottom of the box was a thin book with all the pages yellowed, and the four words 'Qimen Dunjia' were written on it.

Lin Junxuan didn't expect that the ancient book left by the Taigong was actually a one, looking at the four words 'Qimen Dunjia' on the page, Lin Junxuan somewhat understood why his aunt's children and grandsons were not interested in the book left by the Taigong at all. This kind of thing fortune tellers have a book in their hands, and it is not too difficult to buy books on the streets and alleys and on the floor. Sold together with "Qimen Dunjia", there are also "The Yellow Emperor's Mansion", "Shaking the Dragon", "The Yellow Emperor's Mansion" and so on, but its popularity is not as high as the latter. Although Lin Junxuan likes ancient books and has studied "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed", he doesn't believe in this very much.

"Thank you, Grandma. Lin Junxuan took the box and thanked him, but still looked at the old man.

Seeing Lin Junxuan looking at himself, the old man knew that he still wanted to know about his father-in-law, and finally smiled: "You kid...... Okay, grandma, I'll tell you about your father-in-law. ”

"When your grandfather left, your grandfather and I were very young, and when he left, it happened to be the sixteenth lunar calendar of this month, so your grandfather and I took the time of his departure to sacrifice. In fact, a lot of things about your grandfather are known from your grandmother. Before he left, there was indeed a Taoist priest who came to our house, and the people in the village guessed that there was such a story. After your grandfather left with the Taoist priest, he never appeared again. Your grandmother has been telling us that your grandfather is a monk and a Taoist priest. The old man looked at Lin Junxuan and sighed: "Poor grandma, after your grandfather left, there are still two children left at home, and it is not easy for a woman who is so young to support her two children! At that time, the people in the village said that your grandfather died outside, but your grandmother believed that he just went outside to become a Taoist priest and would come back one day." Waited day after day, year after year, because I missed your grandfather too much, and after a few years, your grandmother went crazy. ”

"Crazy!!" Lin Junxuan looked at the old man in shock.

"yes, it was gone shortly after. At that time, it was because your grandfather was not with her. She's just left me these two things from your father-in-law," the old man sighed, perhaps thinking of his mother, and his eyes moistened.

The old man sighed and stood up, and when he talked about his mother, the old man was very sad: "Hey, don't talk about this. It's late, Jun Xuan sleeps. My aunt and grandmother also went to sleep. ”

Walking to the door, the old man suddenly turned around: "Jun Xuan, don't walk around when you sleep at night, remember not to go out if you hear any movement." ”

"Why?" said Lin Junxuan in surprise.

"In the last few days, there have been many jackals barking outside at nightβ€”what a strange thing, how can these wolves have appeared again after they have disappeared for more than fifty years!" the old man muttered to himself with a puzzled expression, and walked out tremblingly.

After the old man went out, the room was quiet again. What the old man said before he left came to mind again, weasel, jackal...... These things disappeared out of thin air more than fifty years ago, and suddenly appeared out of thin air fifty years later. I don't know why, after Lin Junxuan came back this time, the things around him seemed to be weird.

Taking off the star-shaped necklace from his neck, Lin Junxuan looked over and over again, and didn't find anything strange about this star-shaped necklace, put it back on, Lin Junxuan took out the "Qimen Dunjia" in the box and looked at it, and there was no mystery in the book, it seemed to be an ancient book that could be seen casually on a local stall.

"Qimen Dunjia" is all written in obscure language, Lin Junxuan felt that he was in the clouds for a while, and fatigue hit, and he fell asleep after a while.

On the first night, Lin Junxuan may have slept relatively heavily due to the fatigue of the long-distance car, and did not hear the jackal sound spoken by his aunt, after staying here for two days,

"Whew!β€”"

In the middle of the night, when Lin Junxuan was sleeping hazy, he was suddenly woken up by a burst of wolf howls. Opening his eyes, Lin Junxuan lay on the bed and listened, the howl was like a wolf instead of a wolf, and the place where the sound came from seemed to be not far from where his aunt and grandmother lived.

"Could that be a jackal!" Lin Junxuan thought in his heart, but he remembered his aunt's admonition in his mind, and inexplicably remembered what the Taoist priest said. His curiosity wasn't very strong, but somehow, he always felt a little weird tonight. Looking sideways at the window, the window was bright and clean, and the snow-like moonlight fell from the window, Lin Junxuan remembered that today was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar of this month, and tomorrow was the day to worship.

The night was like ink, and the howling outside the window soon stopped, just when Lin Junxuan was about to fall asleep again, suddenly a sound came from outside the house, and the sound seemed to be coming directly from here, from the sound, there should be three to five rushing towards here. Lin Junxuan's heart moved, lifted the quilt, put on his clothes, and walked quickly to the window, just under the window, three animals that looked like wolves but not wolves, dogs and not dogs swept through the window, when Lin Junxuan walked to the window, he happened to catch a glimpse, and a green cold light flashed in their eyes.

"Whew!β€”"

There was a long howl from the depths of the night, and the howl was like a sharp arrow into the depths of darkness, and soon the howls all around came and went, as if they were summoning, and as if they were responding to each other. Lin Junxuan watched the jackals under the moon gallop and howl and disappear into the darkness, and an impulse suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Go check it out. Lin Junxuan said in his heart, as if something was attracting him, he felt as if something extraordinary was going to happen today. After getting dressed, I was just about to leave, and my eyes swept over the "Qimen Dunjia" next to the pillow, and a strange feeling came to my heart. After thinking about it, Lin Junxuan walked back again, picked up the ancient book and put it in his arms, then gently pushed the door open and walked out.

The night was quiet, a full moon hung high in the sky, and under the moonlight, the mountains stood in the dark, hideous and beautiful. Lin Junxuan walked out of the house and chased quickly in the direction where the three jackals had disappeared. The moonlight was very bright, and Lin Junxuan's gaze could barely catch up with the three galloping black shadows under the moon.

"Howl!-" The howls of the jackals came from all directions, and the howls were getting closer and closer. The three jackals that Lin Junxuan followed ran very fast, and they were still in sight at the beginning, but when they increased their speed, they disappeared from Lin Junxuan's field of vision in an instant.

The howls in the dark night came and went, and the jackals in several mountains within a radius seemed to be gathering in one direction, and with that howl, Lin Junxuan walked quickly in the night, brushing aside the waist-high weeds all the way, and followed forward. I don't know how long it took, but the howls in front of me suddenly disappeared, and the jackals seemed to disappear again in the air, leaving only the aftermath of the distant hills. Lin Junxuan knew that there was something wrong ahead, so he slowed down. Lowering his body, Lin Junxuan slowly leaned over, a few minutes later, Lin Junxuan pushed aside the grass, a lush tree in front of him stood in the dark, next to the woods was a sunning flat paved with gravel, mud, and lime mixture, after the mountain people finished harvesting the grain, they would spread the millet on it to dry, and then collect.

Under the moonlit night, Lin Junxuan clearly saw the dense jackals lined up in a circle, with their front legs bent and their hind legs straight, kneeling on the sunning flat in a pious posture, motionless. And in the middle of this group of jackals, a jackal as strong as a wolfdog, with a circle of white hairs around its neck, stood proudly under the moonlit night, and its eyes radiated a cold light, like a king patrolling its people.

"This is a jackal king!" Lin Junxuan looked at the wolf king standing under the moonlit night and said in his heart, at this moment, the white hair on the neck of the jackal king shook, and raised his head and let out a loud howl again, as soon as the howl stopped, the howls of other jackals sounded in the depths of the mountain, as if they were responding to the call of this 'king'.

Lin Junxuan poked his head out, and through the long weeds, he saw that vigorous black shadows were rushing from all directions. He was puzzled, he didn't understand what these wolves were doing here in the middle of the night, and it didn't seem that they were looking for food.

The wilderness was silent, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the grass. At the edge of the woods, the jackals stood motionless on the sunning lawn, while Lin Junxuan was motionless in the grass.

Half an hour had passed, and there was no more howling of jackals in the night, and all the wolves in the vicinity seemed to have rushed over. The wolf king's fur shook and he let out a long howl.

"Whew!β€”"

The jackals lying on the ground in a circle around them seemed to hear some command, and one by one they stood up tremblingly, and raised their necks in echo with a loud roar, which came again and again, like waves converging, in response to the howl of the jackal king.

"Whew!β€”" In the dark night, the voices of the jackals were heard far, far away, and in the mountains, every house was lit up, but no one came out of the house. In the countryside, lighting up the lights on such nights seems to be a long-standing custom.

"Whew!β€”"

There was another howl, and when I heard the howl of the jackal king, a team suddenly divided into a group of jackals around me, a team of about dozens of jackals, pounced out in an orderly manner, and then found that the dozens of jackals were directly rushing towards a protruding black shadow at the edge of the woods. As soon as the jackals were divided, they surrounded the black shadow that protruded from the back of the tree, and then the sharp front paws were flung at the same time, and a large amount of dirt was thrown into the air.

Lin Junxuan was silent for a moment, thinking that they might be digging graves, and the people in the mountains are all buried, unlike the people in the city who will be cremated. After the burial, this pile of graves is left behind.

Dozens of jackals picked up together, and the mound was quickly dug and hollowed, and after a few minutes, a jackal suddenly rushed to the bottom of the mound, and with a mouth and a toss, a black thing flew out of the ground. The black thing fell, and was jumped up by another jackal, with its head, and threw it up, one after another, constantly throwing the things dug out of the ground, by the bright moonlight, the two of them saw clearly, it was a human skull!!

Lin Junxuan was a little scared when he saw this, but he didn't want to go back at this time, he was thinking about what they were doing, he raised his head and looked at the sky, although the sky was full like a disk, but after all, it was not daytime, although it was only separated by a distance, but the surroundings still looked black, everything was connected, hidden in the darkness, and the sound of the wind could be faintly heard intermittently.

On a moonlit night, jackals howled and jumped, their voices a little excited, as if they were having a grand celebration. After a while, the skull of Bai Sensen fell to the feet of the Jackal King, the skull had two hollow eye sockets, looking at the sky, and its jaws were wide open, looking quite terrifying.

"Howl!-"

The jackal king let out a long howl, and the dense wolves around him bowed his head obediently, and the jackal king glanced around like a king, and then lowered his head, with a canine tooth, and bit the skull at his feet, and with a flick of his head, the skull was thrown into the air, and the moonlight fell on the skull, and the skull was also coated with a layer of frosty silver. Underneath the skull, the Jackal King stepped on his front legs, and suddenly the man stood up, and the skull and skull that rolled its head towards the air let out a desolate howl.

"Whew!β€”"

The moonlight is like washing, under the moonlight, the jackal king stands up, and all around, all the jackals are lying on the ground, kneeling and worshipping, only this time, the object of their worship is not the jackal king, but the skull in the air and the bright moon in the sky.

"Whew!-"

The wind was howling in the wilderness, and the originally bright earth suddenly darkened, Lin Junxuan raised his head, only to see the dark clouds in the sky suddenly rolling, covering in the direction of the bright moon from all directions. And the edge of the bright moon, suddenly appeared a circle of black, the moonlight quickly became dim, that circle of darkness 'eaten' the moon at an alarming speed, only a moment the moon became completely black, only the edge of the edge of the extremely thin waning moon hanging high in the air.

"Lunar Eclipse!-" Looking at the vision in the sky, Lin Junxuan's mind subconsciously flashed a noun. The phenomenon that occurs when the Moon moves into the shadow of the Earth usually occurs during the full moon!

This thought was still in his mind, and what happened in the next moment completely overturned the cognition in Lin Junxuan's mind:

Just as the moon in the sky was only left with the glow of a waning moon on the edge, a circular beam of light fell from all around the moon, straight through the dark void, and landed on the flying skull. At the moment when the moonlight beam passed through, the skull suddenly emitted a circle of transparent turquoise light, and then it stood eerily motionless in the air. Circles of ripples like water spread in all directions, centered on the turquoise skull hanging high in the air. The whole world suddenly fell silent in an instant, and the eyes of the jackals were focused on the skeleton.

"Wow!-" In the grass, Lin Junxuan stood up as if he was enchanted, and he stood in the weeds like that, not caring about the eyes of those jackals.

The group of jackals that were originally crawling on the ground had already discovered this voyeur at this time, and one after another jackals bared their teeth and stared at the human boy who was walking not far away. Lin Junxuan's expression was calm, and there was no fear in his heart. The moment he saw the strange skull in the air, a strong thought suddenly rose in Lin Junxuan's heart to get close to it: "Go over and catch him!" As soon as this thought was generated, it was like a fire that could not be explained! Lin Junxuan believed in his own intuition.

Pushing aside the grass, Lin Junxuan walked over step by step......

"Huh!~" Seeing a human teenager approaching, the dense pack of jackals on the sun-grained flat turned their heads, baring their teeth one by one, and their eyes emitted bursts of cold light. If ordinary people had seen it, they would have retreated long ago.

Facing the hostile pack of jackals, Lin Junxuan didn't have the slightest look of fear on his face, his expression was calm, his eyes stared at the jackals on the opposite side, and he slowly leaned down. A ferocious dog will often make frightened noises when humans lean down, and then run away quickly. In the interpretation of the mountain people, dogs tend to see humans leaning over as their own kind. Dogs tend to be afraid of their own larger counterparts. And jackals, like dogs, have the same surname.

Lin Junxuan slowly leaned down, and at the same time, a terrifying cold light emanated from his originally peaceful eyes, which was even more terrifying than the light in the eyes of the jackals. As soon as the jackals came into contact with Lin Junxuan's gaze, they were like seeing a kind of person who was larger and more ferocious than their own, and they avoided it one by one in fright.

This is the law of survival in nature, and it is also suitable for jackals. Lin Junxuan's gaze swept over the jackals one by one, and none of the jackals could force their gaze to meet them.

The wolves made a sound of canopy teeth and disappeared under Lin Junxuan's terrifying gaze, and one after another the jackals whined, don't turn their heads. Don't dare to face Lin Junxuan's gaze. Standing up satisfied, Lin Junxuan stepped forward again, the jackal whined, made a frightened sound, and retreated one after another.

"Whew!β€”"

After a howl, the jackals suddenly separated, and the jackal king, who had a white circle around his neck, walked slowly with light steps. Lin Junxuan didn't stop, he looked at the eyes of the jackal king, who was plated with a layer of silver all over his body, and walked forward along the passage that the jackals had vacated.

The Jackal King's green eyes stared at the young man in front of him, and Lin Junxuan didn't let it go at all, staring at the Jackal King deadly. Lin Junxuan's long-term reading of the sage book cultivated by the aura of the majestic played a role at this moment, his spirit was complete, the Jackal King stared at his eyes, in the eyes of this human boy, it did not see fear, only the irreversible will of steel, this will it has never been felt in human beings, it is so powerful, so that the Jackal King felt that his spirit was gradually dissipating in front of a steely will, it could not resist the powerful will of this young man, this will is as vast as heaven and earth, and it cannot be resisted!

"Woo!~" The white fur on the neck of the jackal king hung down softly, and it lowered its head, and let out a low whining sound from its mouth. Lin Junxuan pressed forward step by step, and it retreated step by step. Lin Junxuan took a step forward, but it had to take two steps back, as if an invisible giant blade was in front of it in the air, forcing it.

"Woo!~" With a grief, the Jackal King finally lowered his head and stepped aside. There was no more obstacle between Lin Junxuan and the skull. Lin Junxuan walked forward, and all the jackals looked at him in unison, their eyes moving with his pace, but none of the jackals came out to stop him.

Lin Junxuan quietly looked at the skull in mid-air, the skeleton was within reach, and when he approached it, he found that it looked very supernatural. Without any hesitation, the next moment, Lin Junxuan stretched out one of his arms violently and grabbed the skull in mid-air.

"Wow!-" The star-shaped pendant chain hanging around Lin Junxuan's neck suddenly floated up automatically, making a vibrating sound. In the darkness, the star-shaped falling chain emitted a faint white light, and an invisible energy entered Lin Junxuan's body along the falling chain, and along his arm, it sank into the turquoise skull.

"Boom!-" The skull skull shook, and suddenly shattered, a black vortex emerged in the void at the same time as the skull shattered, and the wind raged around it, and the black vortex immediately rotated and expanded rapidly as soon as it was formed, and the center of the vortex emitted a strong suction, which sucked Lin Junxuan, who was close at hand, into it.

Lin Junxuan only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was sucked into a dark and narrow passage, his body rotated with the powerful suction, and his body was also shrinking sharply. I couldn't distinguish anything in the darkness, I could only hear a 'boom' sound in my ears, and a bright light passed through my eyes, and then Lin Junxuan didn't know anything......
