Chapter 33: Getting Out of Trouble
The white cat jumped into his arms, and the peach blossom god looked at me, his dark eyes exactly the same as last night.
"Rotting grass is fireflies." He spoke lightly, his voice was neither sad nor joyful, and he couldn't hear any emotion.
I was a little confused, but he didn't say a word, and just disappeared into the fog with the white cat in his arms.
At this time, I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly followed the prompts of the text message and walked outside again, and I was stunned.
I actually appeared at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, and I patted my cheek, a little incredulous, I felt like I had traveled through time and space.
I kowtowed three times to the southeast, muttering the blessings of the heavenly officials.
Shit, what a stupid one.
After reading it, I found a stone to sit down and called Gu Haitang and Chen Changbo, but they couldn't get through.
I panicked, and it looked like they were both still trapped in the mountains.
"Who the hell are you? Why do you know where I'm going? I couldn't help but send a text message, and my heart was in turmoil, thinking that this mysterious person might be Zhang Taiqing.
But if it's him, why help me?
Don't you want me to die so soon?
"Zhang Taiqing will do the same, I will too, I am the one who saved you."
What does it mean? Not Zhang Taiqing?
"Can't you give a little bit of useful information?" I was a little speechless, but he still wouldn't reveal his identity.
"Telling you now, it will only harm you, you want to know the truth of everything, the only way is to enter the Seven Python Gorge, but with your current situation, it is impossible, you must find out the survivors of Longtai Village back then."
"Don't trust anyone, including those around you who you think you can trust."
What he said was obvious, Chen Changbo and Gu Haitang were not credible.
I can't make up my mind, can I trust his words?
Judging from the few times he helped me save the day, he didn't seem to have any selfish intentions.
And Chen Changbo and Gu Haitang do have a purpose.
"Thank you." I ended up typing those three words on the text message.
He didn't reply to me anymore, I waited for about half an hour, and Chen Changbo came out of the mountains and forests in rags.
I asked with concern, "What about Gu Haitang?" β
Chen Changbo glanced at me with disdain, and said that you kid is really a heavy color and a light friend, I am like this, you don't care about my injuries first.
I said that looking at your life like this, it must be a skin injury, Gu Haitang is a girl's family, and she hasn't come out yet, shouldn't I care about her?
"I don't know, I didn't see it, damn it, Zhong Shan was banned!" Chen Changbo wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He explained that Zhongshan should not be allowed to be set foot by living people, and when the bell rings, it means that we have triggered the ban on the mountain, although it is not known how powerful the ban is.
But it's certainly not simple.
Chen Changbo said with palpitations: "Lao Tzu will never go again, he almost killed me." β
"Is the legend true?"
I asked curiously: What legend?
Chen Changbo said: "It is said that Zhongshan is a big bell in the sky, and there is a dragon that makes waves under the big bell that flies from the sky, and the immortal who suppressed the dragon said that as long as no one rings the bell one day, the dragon can regain its freedom." β
"So everyone who comes to Zhongshan is eaten by Jiaolong, because he won't let others ring the bell, but even so, Zhongshan still rings the bell on time three times a day."
I pursed my mouth and said that this legend was almost the same as deceiving a three-year-old child, full of loopholes, and there was no logic at all.
Since this is the case, then how could there still be the existence of Baiyun Village in the first place, who would dare to live on this mountain?
Chen Changbo said that he didn't know either, but the information he found was like this, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.
Many legends are simply added and imposed by later generations, so I don't believe it.
I do believe that Zhongshan is haunted.
"Wang Hao, you still have to be more careful with Gu Haitang." Chen Changbo leaned over and whispered.
Hearing his words, I fell into deep thought, he always asked me to be careful of Gu Haitang, but what about himself?
"Do you have any preconceptions about her?" I asked him.
Chen Changbo shook his head and said: "No, she is really not human, although I don't know how she became what she is now, but she is definitely not human!" β
I said, how can you be so sure?
"I tried." After Chen Changbo finished speaking, he took out a piece of talisman paper and put it on my shoulder.
"How?"
"It feels like this hand is a little cold, and it's a little numb." I shook my arm.
"That's right, you are already in a broken soul now, and you still have such a strong feeling, if she is a normal person, how can she not feel it at all?"
I said, what kind of charm are you?
Chen Changbo said that the yang talisman is to vent the yang energy of a living person, which is a forbidden technique, and if it is not done well, it will kill people.
It is a clichΓ© that people's yang energy depends on three lights, the left and right shoulders and the forehead.
"Xiaobo, don't fool around!" I was startled, if Gu Haitang's yang qi was vented, wouldn't it make her lose her soul?
"Don't worry, I'm measured, this is a simplified version of the sun talisman, and it won't hurt the soul."
"But......" I hung my head, not believing the result.
