Chapter 34: Midnight Song
He walked out of the hall without looking back, and then gradually quickened his pace.
Yes, he really doesn't have any real skills, but the atmosphere of the Jin family is too strange, and what is even more strange is the eccentric old lady.
When did the old lady of the Jin family have such a good temper?
He thought about it strangely, and the Jin family's matter gave him a feeling full of incomprehension, even bizarre.
I'd rather believe in it than believe in it, maybe the Jin family is really being targeted by something beyond people's imagination?
It's just a pity that I can get the honorarium later, but I also have some food left over for my family, after all, two meals are eaten at this Jin's house.
Recalling the Jin family's food, he couldn't help but think of the old lady of the Jin family.
The old lady of the gold price is an out-and-out strict mother, and a woman that anyone who listens to her has to admire.
After her husband died, she took care of the Jin family and raised her children alone, although she was not very rich, but the family had more property than most people in the city.
However, this incident is indeed a kind of family ugliness, but Mrs. Jin publicized this ugliness and went to find those magic sticks so straightforwardly, isn't this tantamount to chewing people's tongues in disguise?
From Shengjing to Miao Township overnight? How could such a thing be?
must just be to build momentum, and then lie that the family has been invaded by evil spirits, and then make this ugly family small.
It must be like this.
It's just a pity that I can get the honorarium later.
Thinking like this, the unhappiness in his heart gradually disappeared, and even gave birth to a little happiness.
No matter how rich you are, isn't it still a bad family style, so that the wild man stole his daughter-in-law? Although the daughter-in-law of the Jin family has wide clothes, this wide clothes already show something unusual, but the wild seeds in the belly have not been removed?
Thinking about it, I had another idea for no reason, maybe the wild man also had an affair with the old lady of the Jin family?
Thinking of this, he smiled.
Walking alone in the empty Jin family's mansion, he felt very strange.
"Why is there no servant in the huge Jin family's mansion?" Subconsciously blurted out and muttered to himself.
Then he came back to his senses and realized that something was wrong.
No matter how big the Jin family is, he hasn't reached the door after walking for so long?
And in this time of cranky thinking, it is better to not pay attention, or the servants are staggered, but why is there no sound, no wind, no insects, no noise from the outside world, only their own voice?
He couldn't help but be a little panicked, looking left and right, there was no one around, only the bright daylight, moistening the world.
The shadows also have a respite under the cover of buildings or trees.
But in the shadows, there seems to be something...
yes, what's that? It was as if he was looking at him.
He stepped up, and walked briskly forward, walking, but the short corridor seemed like an endless long road, and no matter how far he went, he could not reach the door.
Obviously, the door is in the place where you can see, walk briskly for a while, or trot for a while, you can reach it,
But he even used all the strength to feed, but he was still in place, as if he was doing useless work, not so much useless work, but as if the ground under his feet was falling under his own feet.
What's going on?
In my ears, there seemed to be a sound of nothingness.
What was that?
Like an insect flapping its wings, like a chaotic babble, like an unspoken onomatopoeia, and like it can't distinguish between men and women, but with a giggling sound that is obviously playing with itself and then mocking.
He stopped, and the floor tile under his feet seemed to stop, panting heavily, he wiped the sweat left on his forehead, and looked around, but he still found nothing, there was no living thing, but the voice appeared from time to time,
Either the left ear or the right ear,
It's like someone is playing around with them, deliberately whispering back and forth in both ears.
He turned back, and there was no one; Looking back, there was still no one.
Not even a shadow.
So he threw himself down and looked behind him from his split legs,
Or nobody,
No legs, no soles, no toes, nothing.
But the voice was still in my ears,
Even if you cover your ears,
He was scared.
Although he was not physically harmed, his fragile spirit was like a piece of iron that was constantly being forged, and the voice was a sledgehammer forging his spirit.
Then, as if he saw the shadow move, he moved.
It's like some sleeping animal unconsciously twitching its body, and it's like... There's something East XZ in the shadows in general.
Are you dazzled?
He thought so and walked towards the shadows.
This time he didn't seem to be tormented by the tiles, for he did feel himself moving one step closer to the shadow of the wall.
So he turned his head and ran towards the door.
The space that was once immovable seems to have finally moved.
He approached the door, grabbed the doorknob, and pulled it open.
However, it's not the street outside the door, it's... Another courtyard.
It is the same as the courtyard of the Jin family where he is, the flowers and plants are the same, the sun is shining, there is no one, the ears are ringing, and the door is closed.
Even the shadow twitched again.
He jerked his head back, and the shadow remained motionless, and when he turned back again, the shadow seemed to move again in the courtyard outside the door.
He slammed the door shut, leaned against the panel, bit his nails, and looked at everything around him with a shudder, as if... Everything is moving,
The inanimate dead things seem to be alive, and they seem to be approaching them like legs.
The buzzing sound was finally amplified in a small voice, and the ear hole tickled, as if something was about to crawl out of the ear hole.
But when I tried to dig it with my fingers, I didn't take out anything.
What the hell is haunting you?
He thought unconsciously.
The shadows in his eyes twitched again, and it seemed that everything seemed to be coming towards him just now, because the things were still standing still.
Only this time, it was as if something had come out of the shadows.
Pap, papa...
That's footsteps,
From far and near, dense, in all directions, the tide is coming, and the noise that existed before is also in the ears, not subsiding, but is covered by the footsteps, becoming the background sound of the chaotic and numerous footsteps.
The footsteps are always just approaching, approaching, approaching, approaching, approaching, approaching,
He covered his head and buried his head in his knees,
Eventually, the footsteps stopped, and the murmur in my head stopped completely.
With a look of hope, he looked up, and there was nothing, as if there was nothing, and there was no one, but everything seemed to be back to normal, he thought,
Then he stood up suddenly, and tried to escape from this hellish place like crazy, and grabbed the doorknob with his hand.
And when he opened the door,
But he saw it, which he will never forget... Stuff.
His sanity was finally shattered, and he ran wildly, and the noise that had disappeared came back.
Like an insect flapping its wings, like a chaotic babble, like an unspoken onomatopoeia, and like it can't distinguish between men and women, but with a giggling sound that is obviously playing with itself and then mocking.
And hasty and deliberate
The sound of footsteps,
and, with the malicious ridicule of playfulness,
Those things, those things, he was chased by that thing,
A great number of things, tormenting him, destroying him,
Finally, in the midst of the madness, he returned to the hall where he had been.
"There's a youkai! There are youkai! Right outside the door! Better! That's a lot!"
When he had said that, he fell to the ground.
——
Hu Qiye used a spell to read what he had experienced, not a soul search, just a simple reading, and at the same time shared the picture he had read with Qin Yuelou.
The two of them just saw the unfortunate man listening to the greetings of the servants around him, motionless, like a prince, and then ran back and forth in the cloister, and when he reached the gate, he did not move again, and when he opened the gate again, he saw the pedestrians in the street, and ran back in a mad manner.
Qin Yuelou and Hu Qiye naturally didn't hear anything strange, but when Qin Yuelou opened the six ears, they heard a certain rhythmic noise.
Buzzing, like flies, like mosquitoes, but louder than flies and mosquitoes.
Hu Qiye also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
For an old fox like Hu Qiye, who has been practicing Taoism for thousands of years, even if his cultivation falls to the bottom, then this insight will definitely still be there, but Hu Qiye can't tell what it is.
That obviously has to be done with caution.
Haosheng settled the poor fellow, Qin Yuelou and Hu Qiye were ready to wait for him to wake up and ask, but when he woke up, he became crazy.
"What are you? Why did you arrest me? I'm just a little bee who picks honey industriously, so why don't you let me go to the garden to collect honey? Buzz, I'm going to sting you!" The little bee shook its arms and walked and buzzed and flew, wanting to create Qin Yuelou.
But he was knocked to the ground by Qin Yuelou's fist.
"The bee stings and dies, I'm for your own good, don't go crazy." Qin Yuelou said to the little bee that was still buzzing on the ground.
"How can this good guy really go crazy? What the hell is wrong with him?" Qin Yuelou asked Hu Qiye strangely.
"I don't know." Hu Qiye also shook his head.
But Qin Yuelou can also figure out that this guy's sensory world is different from what ordinary people experience in their sensory world, for example, ordinary people will only feel that this is a strange creature of nature when they look at barnacles.
But when barnacles are densely concentrated on the surface of something or creature, it will have the effect of making people fearful.
And taking this secret fear as the basis and magnifying the secret fear is another terrifying scene.
This terrible sight will be described in words by each person's senses in their own way, but words will not be as shocking and terrifying as seeing it directly and imprinting it in the mind.
But ordinary spells are not enough to reproduce this shocking horror.
To put it simply, this horror is confined to someone, and only he can experience it.
With this experience, the gods quieted down, and Qin Yuelou also took out a cigarette case from the warehouse and brought one for himself.
He is now cultivating immortals, so he is not afraid of smoking.
So if you don't cultivate immortals, don't smoke.
Judging from the situation of the matter, things have become a big deal, and he tried to go out, wanting to leave, but there was a buzzing sound in his ears.
Without adequate preparation, he was not prepared to confront something that did not know the roots.
He can also find the main body of the Immortal Sword Dao to kill it with a sword, but that would not be in line with his mind of playing games.
Qin Yuelou feels that it is normal to play games, but playing games is also to watch the plot, but this is obviously part of the plot, not a side quest like Hu Qiye.
If he opens the hanging, then he can't see the plot, he is body
The one with it can't see the plot, so it's very unsightly.
Took out a sheathed short sword from his waist, held the sheath short sword in his hand and held a sword flower, the short sword and the color tone of the scabbard are consistent, the black hard leather is glowing with bright silver reflections, and is wrapped in golden metal, metal is the skeleton of the sword scabbard, and the leather leather is only a little embellishment, but looking at the leather, it has the texture of gold, iron and wood, like wood, like skin and gold.
Therefore, the golden skeleton is like a pattern engraved in the leather, and in the pattern of the golden skeleton is also inlaid with gemstones of different colors, either square, round or diamond-shaped.
If you divide the whole pattern, it looks like an eye with a jewel as its pupil.
The hilt of the sword is also gold and black as the background color, and the center of both sides of the hilt is also inlaid with round gemstones, eight gems on each side, and the arrangement of the upper three, two in the lower three can be embedded in the black base on both sides, and the gold other than black is not very monotonous.
There is no handguard sword grid, maybe only people with excellent swordsmanship will use this kind of sword without sword grid, after all, the sword grid is meant to protect the hand.
It's just that what makes people feel weird is the sword head at the end of the sword handle, the sword head is a weird-looking head, this head has been seen for a long time, and it makes people feel that it is six or seven points similar to Qin Yuelou's appearance, as if this head is engraved according to the face of Qin Yuelou, who is not completely ape-like.
The face and cheeks on the head of the sword have dense white fluff, and there are white sword eyebrows, like a white-haired man and a white ape, the eyes are one black and one white two gems as eyeballs, the six pointed ears are orderly divided and edged, and the lips are not closed, just open, only the white teeth are exposed, square closed, different from human teeth, regular like a wooden lattice.
There was also a thick white hair on the skull, which was tied like a sword spike by an invisible rope, and at the end hung a tiny golden hand bell.
There was a clang, and the rattle rang.
The head of the sword opened its mouth and closed suddenly,
There was a thud.
Two gemstones, one black and one white, had sparkling eyes.
"Mystery taste, delicious, collect a little more, and you can draw your sword."
The sword head's teeth didn't move, and his lips didn't move, making a sound similar to Qin Yuelou's timbre, but with the feeling of a metallic sound.
"Don't talk in my face." Qin Yuelou slapped his sword and said.
The head of the sword ignored it, humming a song that was not in tune.
It's midnight now.
