Chapter 9: The Haunted Building
Seeing that the snake Jiao rushed towards us like an out-of-control train, it was wrapped in a fishy wind, as fast as lightning. My heart sank, and I subconsciously hid behind the master.
At the same time, I saw that the white hair of the Beiluo Shimen exploded, and his body suddenly became larger. Immediately afterwards, with a sharp and piercing scream, Beiluo Shimen jumped up, and I only felt that a flower in front of me had fallen on the head of the snake Jiao. As soon as the cat's paws were stretched out, there was a "poof", and one of the snake's eyeballs was scratched, and the plasma mixed with tissue fluid sprayed all over the ground.
"Wow~~~hiss~~~"
The snake Jiao was hit hard, its whole body was shaken, and it let out a painful roar from the sky, shaking its head and tail violently, and the water in the entire Dawen River was boiling like a pot. Beiluo Shimen jumped lightly, and I reached out and took it in my arms.
Looking at the Beiluo Shimen, who was licking his paws for a long time, I couldn't help but admire in my heart, this civet cat's ability to fight the lion and tiger is really not covered.
Beiluo Shimen hit the door with one blow, and the master was not idle. Reciting the Buddha's name, the tall figure jumped into the air, and the "Donkey Kong Demon Hand" was stimulated, and the palm Buddha light shone, and it slapped on the top of the snake Jiao's head with a bang.
The snake Jiao screamed and was scattered by this palm, and his whole body fell back into the water with a "boom". Immediately after, the black shadow that the cane turned into suddenly burrowed into the snake Jiao's mouth. The snake was in great pain and rolled violently. Rolling from the water to the shore, the weeping willow trees the thickness of buckets on the shore were crushed by a dozen trees.
Master and I hurriedly hid to the side, and saw that the snake Jiao was struggling weaker and weaker, and with a final scream, it fell to the ground motionless. With a "poof", a large hole exploded in the belly, and a black shadow flew towards the master. I saw clearly that the black shadow was actually a black dragon! Black scales and black claws, showing off their might, although they are small in size, they are full of the power of the wilderness.
As soon as the master stretched out his hand, the black dragon immediately turned into a cane, no different from an ordinary wooden staff, without any peculiarities.
I stepped forward and took a closer look at the snake, it was really big enough. The body is thicker than a water tank, more than ten meters long, and each scale is like a plate used at home, hard as iron. The head, in particular, actually has two fist-sized bulges. If you think about it, in time, you will definitely grow two dragon horns.
Master told me that there is actually a dragon suppressed in this Dawen River! The nameless temple at the bottom of the river is suppressed by the dragon's tail. Yuwang Temple suppresses the dragon's head, so a dragon-like branch will grow on the cypress.
The dragon has been suppressed for a long time and is dead, but the dragon spirit is still there. This snake is also a coincidence, absorbing the dragon qi, and it has today's achievements. It's a pity that he did a lot of evil and hurt innocent people, so that he can have today's karma.
After saying that, he put his palms together and recited the mantra of Amitabha Buddha's death. I took out the copper wooden fish, and while knocking, I overtook the snake Jiao with the master.
After all this, I said, "Master, this snake Jiao has been killed, let's go back, and let the people in the village deal with it when it dawns tomorrow." ”
The master hurriedly said, "Don't worry, there is still one thing to be done." ”
"What else?"
The master did not answer, but came to the head of the snake, opened its big mouth, and inserted it into the snake's jaw like a knife. After stirring in the flesh a few times, he felt a blood-drenched gray-white bead. Rinse the blood from the water's edge and hand me the beads.
I took it and saw that the beads were the same size as the glass beads I played with when I was a child, gray and white, hard and hard, and there was nothing peculiar about it.
Master said, "This is a Jiaozhu, which has the effect of repelling water. When you dive, you can hold it in your mouth and breathe in the water like a fish, which is also a treasure. Keep it, maybe you'll need it later. ”
It turned out that this humble bead still had this effect, and I was so happy in my heart that I kept it in my pocket. I saw the master draw a short knife and get busy on the snake Jiao. Three times and two times, pull out a white tendon, soft and tough. The master said, this is the dragon tendon, although it has not yet become a dragon, but it contains dragon energy, which has a binding effect on the monster, go back and weave a rope for the master to give you. Anything else is of no use apart from these two things.
After all this, we climbed over the high embankment and walked towards my uncle's house. I saw a flashlight flashing not far from the entrance of the village, and when I saw our master and apprentice, several people greeted us. When I got closer, I saw that it was the uncle and the village chief with a few strong laborers. They all had pickaxes in their hands, and they still had frightened expressions on their faces.
When my uncle saw us coming, he was overjoyed, and pulled me up and down to make sure that I didn't have any parts, so he put his mind at ease and said, "Just now we listened to the movement in the river and the noise was not small, and there was a loud cry that I had never heard before, like thunder, and I was worried about death." It's okay, what happened to the fish monster? ”
The master said, "Amitabha, just a snake Jiao, has been ambushed. ”
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, and the look of surprise on their faces was suddenly replaced by a look of joy. The village chief sent two people over the river embankment to guard the body of the snake Jiao, and the rest of the people surrounded our master and apprentice back to the village.
When I arrived at my uncle's house, the village chief asked what to do with the corpse of the snake, and the master thought about it for a while, and said that it was better to bury it near the Yuwang Temple. Yuwang Temple has dragon energy, which can suppress demons. The village chief nodded again and again, indicating that he would do it tomorrow. It was getting late, and after a hard night's fighting, I was very sleepy, so I went to my cousin's bed and went to sleep.
When I woke up early the next morning, I found that the embankment was full of onlookers. The village chief borrowed a dump truck from Lassa in the battlefield, and more than a dozen strong laborers worked together, and it took a lot of effort to lift the more than ten meters long snake Jiao into the car and drive towards Yuwang Temple.
As for the scene of burying the snake Jiao, we didn't go, but went straight home. When he returned home, the master locked himself in the family temple, blocked any requests to see him, and began to take out the dragon tendons to ponder. If this dragon tendon wants to play its strongest role, it also needs a complex sacrifice to do it, and I am very busy with it.
It took about a little more than a week for the dragon tendon to be completed. Because this dragon tendon is too flexible, it is not enough to cultivate, and it is difficult to control. What I learned from Master was the way of fortitude, and it was quite laborious to use such soft things. If you want to use it freely, you need to practice a lot.
I was idle and thought about the use of the dragon tendon rope, thinking that since this dragon tendon rope has an effect on monsters, it is better to take the Beiluo master to practice my hands. As soon as my idea came to me, Beiluo Shimen, who was sleeping, shook violently, jumped up and was about to run.
"Stop! Don't run! ”
I yelled and chased after me. The yard was full of clanging, and I was so tired that I was sweating all over, and I couldn't catch a single hair of this civet.
The morning after the dragon tendon was completed, I had just arrived at Master's place, but I saw Master packing his luggage, saying that he was going to go on a long trip, and asked me not to be lazy and practice diligently. I wanted to beg Master to take me with me, but Master said that I don't know how many months it will take to come back, and I am afraid that it will delay my schooling, so I should stay at home.
Although I was reluctant in my heart, I still sent Master to the entrance of the village. The master is still dressed in the same clothes, gray robe and bast shoes, a bowl, a wooden staff, and a small bag. Walk all the way.
After Master left, I was left alone. No one wanted to play with me, so in addition to practicing every day, I chased Beiluo Shimen all over the world. The beast was slippery and tight, and I couldn't touch its edge.
That day, I was running after the cat in a bored way, when I heard someone outside calling my name. When I went out, I saw that it was Xu Bin and Xu Lijuan. I didn't expect the two of them to come to my house, and I was so happy that I hurriedly invited them in.
Xu Bin didn't come in, but asked anxiously, "Lu Bo, do you have time?" ”
I hurriedly said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Xu Bin said: "You don't know, Wang Jiao of our class is missing!" ”
I was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Why did you go missing, did you call the police?" ”
Before Xu Bin could speak, Xu Lijuan hurriedly said: "It's useless to call the police, the police can't be busy at all." I'll tell you the truth, counting Wang Jiao, there have been four missing girls in our county, and none of them have been found. I guess I must have been abducted by human traffickers and sold to the mountains to be a daughter-in-law. ”
Xu Bin immediately retorted: "Definitely not, Wang Jiao is so smart, how could she be abducted." Something must have happened, Lubo, you can help us find it. ”
I can understand Xu Bin's mood, Wang Jiao is the flower of our class, she is beautiful, and her grades are excellent. It's just that I'm a little proud, and my eyes are above the top. However, Wang Jiao and Xu Bin are very close. Regarding the ambiguous relationship between the two of them, Xu Bin secretly did not hide it from me.
As a graduate, falling in love is an unforgivable thing for teachers, and seeing a couple break up a couple, it is all for your good. Therefore, the development of the relationship between the two is carried out secretly, and very few people know about it. Now that Wang Jiao suddenly had an accident, it is understandable that he is anxious.
However, I'm not a police officer, so I won't solve the case at all, so how can I find it?
Xu Bin thought about it and gave me a clue.
Xu Bin and Wang Jiao were both admitted to the county key high school, and it was okay during the summer vacation, Wang Jiao received an invitation to explore a ghost building. At that time, Wang Jiao once called Xu Bin and wanted to invite him to go with him. Xu Bin was not interested in this kind of thing, and persuaded Wang Jiao not to go, so as not to encounter danger.
Who knew that Wang Jiao said a coward, and hung up the phone. Later, something really happened. There were five people who went together, three men and two women, but when they came back, Wang Jiao was the only one missing.
Later, the police asked the four men what had happened that day. The other four all said that Wang Jiao found it boring and left early. And then there was no then.
Hearing this, I also think that this matter is actually quite simple, maybe it is really as Xu Lijuan said, Wang Jiao is alone and may have been abducted halfway. I said my thoughts, Xu Bin shook his head in disagreement, and said, "Lu Bo, do you know where they went to the ghost building?" It was the old sanatorium in Nanguan. There is a lot of evil in that place, and something must have happened there. ”
"What? They actually went there! How daring! ”
When I heard about Nanguan Sanatorium, I was also taken aback. There are no locals who don't know about that place, the famous ghost building. It was originally a sanatorium built in the fifties and sixties, but it was later abandoned. It is said that more than 10 years ago, a young mother once jumped from the abandoned building with her newborn baby and fell to pieces. After that, the sanatorium began to be haunted.
Because the county has not planned to develop there, the place is relatively remote, not far from a cemetery. It is said that someone who drives by there at night will find a strange fire coming from the upper floor, and it will disappear in a flash. People living in the neighborhood can also sometimes hear some creepy sounds coming from inside. But when it looked, it was pitch black, and there was nothing.
Wang Jiao's gang is really bold, they dare to go to such a dangerous place to find excitement. I saw that Xu Bin looked anxious and couldn't bear it, so I promised him to go and have a look. So I packed up my things and went out with Beiluo Shimen.
