Chapter 35: The fog rises again
Woowoo woo ............"
"Daddy...... Mother........."
"Woo......... Sister......... Where are you? Woowoo......... Xiao Doubao is wrong, he shouldn't be naughty and run around...... Woowoo...... Where are you...... Little Doubao is afraid of the dark ........."
"Woooooooooo......oo Father...... Mother...... Sister...... Little Doubao knows it's wrong, where are you........."
In the darkness of the night, a child about four or five years old got lost, crying and looking for his family
Suddenly, a peaceful golden light appeared on the mountain road ahead, and the child stopped crying, and when he got closer, he saw that a Buddha with a solemn face was looking down at him with kind eyes
"Lingjue Zen Master!" The child knelt down and kowtowed with a happy face, praying
"I beg the Zen master to manifest the spirit, take Xiao Doubao to find my father and sister, and everyone, I beg the Zen master to ......"
"Amitabha, good and good, how can the little benefactor know me?" Lingjue Zen Master asked with a smile
"Xiao Doubao has seen the portrait of the Zen master, and has also been incense in front of the sculpture of the Zen master, I heard the adults say, the Zen master slashes the demon and destroys the demons, purifies all living beings, and there is a portrait of the Zen master at home, you can be blessed with no disease and no disaster, and the incense can also be protected by the Zen master every year, so that the evil can be avoided!"
The child's eyes were full of stars, and he asked with an innocent and curious face: "The Zen master appeared, is it here to save Xiaodoubao, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, the poor monk heard the cry of a child, and said to himself, "Whoever child got lost in the mountains at night, he came to look for you," Lingjue Zen Master whispered kindly and kindly
"Hehe, great, can the Zen master take Xiaodoubao to find his father and mother, and Sister with everyone?" Children are full of anticipation
"Of course you can..."Lingjue Zen Master gently touched the child's head, then raised his hand and picked up the corner of the robe and said, "Come in, it's dark and windy, don't catch a cold!" ”
"Well, good!" The child smiled happily, jumped up and down with both hands to spread the robe, plunged into it, wrapped it tightly around his body, moved mischievously, and giggled
Lingjue Zen Master gently stroked the child's head and hugged it slightly, and the child's laughter disappeared in an instant
Then the robe clung to the body of the Lingjue Zen Master like ordinary clothes, as if no child had ever been in it
Lingjue Zen Master's smile was still the same, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little less, and then his figure gradually blurred until it disappeared
"Don't worry, child, you will soon be able to reunite with your father, sister, and everyone......"
The ethereal sound, with a hint of permeating cold, disappeared into the night
…………
Ling Dusk walked to the edge of the town and went up the hillside, where the cemetery of the malaria dead was when he came, and the mountain to the west was the graves of the ancestors of the town of Shangrin
"I'm sorry!" Whispering, at the moment of crisis, he couldn't care so much, Ling Dui pushed his palms sideways, and the two mounds in front of him were slapped open, and there was nothing inside except for the broken coffin
Then several dirt bags were opened, all of which were like this, and it was not like this until nightfall tonight, if there was such a situation before, everyone would not hide it, and as far as the traces of the collapse are concerned, it is still very new, as if they collapsed at the same time......
Ling Dui pondered, in the dark night, out of the reach of people's eyes, the slightest mist flowed between the grass, trees, bamboos and stones, Ling Dui looked back at the flow of people traveling far away, and the little fire gradually disappeared at the end of the mountain road, and then gradually became a little hazy, as if separated by a faint mist.........
"It's going to be bad!!" Perception was affected by the mist, and Ling Twilight suddenly realized that it swept away in the direction of the flow of people, and at the same time, the fog spread at an alarming speed, coming suddenly, coming strangely, gradually obscuring the vision and blurring the perception
"Ranko Temple's dog offal! Come out! Come out for me!! ”
Ling Dui's eyes were red, her heart was cold, she roared and roared, this scene was so similar to the day when her companions and relatives in Qinghe Village died, the powerlessness of physical and mental exhaustion, the helpless sense of despair, the memories of that day, are the shadows that linger in Ling Dui
"Dog offal! Dog offal! Dog offal!! Come out for me!! ”
The boy ran in the direction of the flow of people, swinging his sword and dancing wildly, shrouded in fog and not knowing whether the direction was correct or not, only hoping that his movements would attract the existence in the dark.........
…………
A group of people kept moving forward, Shangrin was less than a hundred miles away from Yuntai County, and the pass could be seen in a few hours, although everyone walked fast, but there was not much worry
Zhang Xingzhi glanced at the sky, it was already the fifth watch at this time, and it was not far from the dawn, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, there was always a lingering haze in his heart
"Has anyone seen my child?"
A question interrupted Zhang's thoughts, and the family looked around the crowd, one of the women asking the townspeople
"Neighbors, can you help find our child!"
Next to the woman, a lean man was holding a crying little girl, pleading with concern for everyone
"It's Lao Zhou!" Someone recognized it at a glance and shouted out, "Hey! The children of the old Zhou family seem to be lost, has anyone seen it? ”
"The children of the old Zhou family...... Little Beanbao? Everyone also remembered the naughty and cute child on weekdays, and laughed dumbly
"When did it happen?" Zhang Xingzhi walked over and asked
"I don't know, I was still playing hide and seek a moment ago" The woman looked a little calm when she saw Zhang Xingzhi, who came
"Where are you hiding again?" Another townsfolk laughed
"Little Doubao, come out quickly, Daddy has candy to eat........."
"Hey! Li Sanpao, your set has long been outdated, look at me. Little Doubao, come out! There are monsters in the mountains, they will come out at night, and they will catch the lonely children and children, and if they don't come out, the monsters will come to catch you! ”
The crowd shouted back and forth for a full quarter of an hour, but there was no response
"This big night, the child won't be lost!" That's when someone said
Hearing this, the child's family turned pale, and everyone was a little unbearable, Zhang Xingzhi said: "Hurry up, let's look for it again, and pick a team of five or six young and strong people to search on the way when they come!" ”
"Listen to the gentleman and hurry up!" The crowd shouted and searched in droves, but soon retreated
"What's going on?" Zhang Xingzhi
"Sir, there is a fog in the rear at some point, and I can't find my way."
Everyone also looked at the fog that suddenly swept behind them, and they were a little confused for a while, and they were talking about it
"Is it morning fog? It's not dawn yet, and the hour is too early than usual."
"I can't say that, the weather is already uncertain, and it's normal to have a few deviations, but then again, will this fog come too quickly?" Some people wondered
"Yes, yes, like a wave sweeping, and it's terrifyingly thick" Seeing the thick fog sweeping in, everyone couldn't see the scene in the fog at all
"Hurry up and get together, don't act rashly!" The flow of people watching the situation at the end of the rear was drowned in the dense fog, and Zhang Xingzhi shouted loudly when he saw it
The crowd hurriedly gathered, and the dense fog soon completely engulfed the crowd, and there was no sound except for the shouts of a group of people at this time
"Everyone, be quiet, don't move!" Zhang Xingzhi's face was full of solemnity, after all, although he had not entered the earth, he had also practiced for many years, and his spiritual sense was also very comparable, he faintly felt that in the dark mist, there was something staring here
The wind was howling, and the thick fog seemed to outline a child's face
"Little Beanbao! It's my little bean treasure! ”
The woman shouted excitedly and plunged into the thick fog, and Lao Zhou handed over his daughter to the people around him to help take care of him, and followed closely behind
"Hee-hee-......" the child's face chuckled, and then dissipated
"Daddy...... Mother......... Let me go! Let me go! The little girl cried and wanted to go with it, but was stopped by everyone
"Don't go out, don't make a sound"
Everyone didn't know why, but Zhang Xingzhi faintly saw that the moment the couple rushed out, they were not obscured by the dense fog and couldn't see their figures, but after walking a few steps, they were covered by something and disappeared silently
Zhang Xingzhi took out a folded rune paper from his arms, it was a peace talisman, looking at it for a few years, the surface was yellowed, and some of the traces of being soaked were still complete, but at this time, the rune on it was glowing red, as if it was about to burn, and it was terrifyingly hot
The yin wind blows from time to time, and the existence in the dense fog keeps shuttling around the crowd, as if waiting for an opportunity to move, and as if afraid of something, slowly approaching but never revealed, just rolling in the thick fog to form familiar human faces to attract everyone
"Huh? Old Zhou ...... "At this time, a person saw the man who had just followed the woman out, and called softly, and the human face seemed to smile slightly, and then dissipated with the wind
"Daddy!" The little girl took advantage of the lack of attention from the adults around her, shouted and chased away, and reached into the fog with her hand
"Little red bean, come back quickly!" Seeing this, the two big men hurriedly stepped forward to hold them
And in the thick fog, there seemed to be a thin curtain sweeping in, about to engulf the little girl
Suddenly, a shocking light swept into the sky from Zhang Xingzhi's hand, bursting into brilliant brilliance, instantly illuminating everything around them, and everyone saw the scene in front of them, and couldn't help but feel cold and breathless
I saw that in the fog ahead, only a dozen meters away from everyone, a huge black shadow like a mountain was opening its bloody mouth and waiting for the little red bean to enter
There were still some strips of minced flesh and rags hanging from the barbed fangs, and blood was dripping from time to time, and a few feet high, three scarlet eyeballs the size of lanterns were staring greedily and hungrily at the crowd below, and the specific form of the black shadow was hidden in the deeper fog to see unreal
And three steps before the black shadow, the little red bean was finally pulled back by the two, and the black shadow's playful gaze suddenly became hideous, as if the disgusting person broke its plan, and was about to swallow the three of them in one gulp, but the figure suddenly froze, and the pupils shrank
"Boom!" The talisman that stayed in the sky exploded violently, and the blazing flames swept in all directions, and when it encountered the dense fog, it crackled, and the fire became more and more vigorous, out of control, and in a moment, the surrounding area turned into a monstrous sea of fire, but this fire was ineffective against people, as if it was only for evil things
The dark shadow in the thick fog let out a penetrating wail and retreated in defeat
