Chapter 1: The Black Dog and the White Stone
Chapter 1: The Black Dog and the White Stone
He was flying, the night flashing in front of him, and the terrible lightning was tearing the heavens and the earth apart.
"It's all over!" a voice rang out in the dead silence, bleeding with every word, drenched in hatred with every word.
He felt very tired, a sharp pain came from his chest, and when he looked down, the black spear pierced his chest, pinning him to the high cliff.
"You've already lost," the cruel voice laughed, "you're going to die!"
"Only you are afraid of death," he said, surprised to find himself speaking, "for me, death is eternal than a fleeting life!"
He raised his right hand and wrote something quicklyβnine azure balls of light appeared in the night sky, arranged in a strange way.
The orbs of light leap and change until they come together and become a full azure moon.
The blue moon hung in the sky, bright and beautiful! It shrank inward and rushed to the ground, and the blue tide of rage rushed down, sweeping away the boundless darkness.
The color of the world turned from dark to light, and a terrible howl sounded between the heavens and the earthβ
Fang Fei screamed and woke up, he struggled for a while, and there was a heart-rending pain from the place where the bone was broken.
He was like a doll, just dismantled and put back together.
With a white curtain hanging on one side and the smell of disinfectant water in his nose, Fang Fei lay back on the bed, feeling weak.
"Bed 16, male," a little nurse picked up the medical record book and read casually, "Symptoms: comminuted fracture of the fourth cervical vertebra, torn right fibula, crushed left humerus...... The third and fourth ribs on the right side were fractured, and the ulna of the right arm was shattered...... The right lobe is pierced, and there are pneumothorax symptoms......" The little nurse raised her head and glared at the boy on the bed, "You are still alive?"
Fang Fei opened his mouth, and the pain at the base of his ears and jaw was unbearable.
"Be careful," the little nurse reminded, "you have a wound in the mouth." "When I woke up, it was 8:30 p.m. on September 6, 2019. He turned around and hurried away.
Fang Fei rolled his eyes and found that he was covered with bandages, infusion tubes, and oxygen tubes...... All kinds of detection instruments are inserted horizontally and vertically on the body.
"Is this the hospital? What happened to me?" Fang Fei closed his eyes, full of trance, "Where are my parents?"
"Are you awake?" An adult man's voice suddenly sounded, Fang Fei opened his eyes, and found a middle-aged policeman wearing a big-brimmed hat standing next to the bed, with a wide face, a square chin, and thick black eyebrows twisted together, he stared at the boy, and asked carefully, "Do you remember what happened before he fell unconscious?"
Fang Fei tried to shake his head, but his neck was stiff, the policeman thought for a while, and said, "Can you blink? One time means yes, and two times means negative." β
Fang Fei blinked twice, the policeman couldn't help pursing his lips, and asked again, "Who sent you to the hospital?" Fang Fei blinked again and again, and the policeman showed a look of disappointment.
"He had a concussion that could lead to amnesia," a male doctor approached and looked sympathetically at the boy, "and he will have to have at least two surgeries to make a full recovery." β
"So troublesome?" the policeman frowned.
"The man who left him was just trying to save money," the doctor was indignant, "it went too far, and he threw him in the hospital hall." β
"Anyway, we need to know who he is?" said the policeman patiently.
"So I called the police. The doctor said angrily.
"When will he be able to speak?"
"It's hard to say," the doctor shook his head, "he has a torn temporal bone and a broken jaw, and honestly, it's a miracle that he survived." β
"Is that so?" the policeman rubbed his chin, confused.
"Boom......" A young man hurriedly barged in, and was stunned when he saw the police.
"What's the matter?" the policeman asked him with a calm face.
"Express," the young man timidly took out an envelope and carefully confirmed, "Ward 217 of the inpatient department of Shaocheng Hospital...... Zongzi boy ......" He opened his mouth wide and glared at Fang Fei on the bed, "I thought it was a screen name." β
"Give it to me!" the policeman snatched the envelope, "who sent it?"
"There's ...... on the envelope," the courier muttered, scratching his head, "I'll just deliver." β
"Sender, Wu Ming, address in this city, contact number 13......" The policeman took out his mobile phone and dialed a string of numbers, listened to it close to his ear, and said: "Empty number!"
"The name is also a lie, isn't it?" the doctor tilted his head, "Wu Ming? β
"Can I go?" the courier hurriedly got out.
"Wait!" The policeman touched the contents of the letter, "long strips, cylinders, it should be ......" He looked at Fang Fei, "Can I take a look?"
Fang Fei blinked, the police tore open the envelope, poured out the objects, and said with a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, it's a pen." β
A ballpoint pen lying in the palm of his hand, with a transparent shell and a cyan refill, will not cost more than three yuan. The policeman pressed the button, spit out the nib, unscrewed the barrel again, and took out the refill to inspect it repeatedly.
"Why do you want to send a pen?" muttered the doctor, "who did the prank?"
"Zongzi boy?" The policeman stared at the handwriting on the envelope in confusion, thought for a moment, and asked Fang Fei, "Do you know who sent it?"
Fang Fei blinked twice. The policeman looked at the pen again and whispered, "Strange. β
"Can I go?" the courier was agitated, "I still have to make deliveries." β
"No," the policeman said with a tiger face, "you stay first." β
"I didn't do anything!" the courier wailed.
"You'll have to cooperate with the investigation," the policeman shook the envelope, "I'll take it with me, maybe there's fingerprints on it." He looked at the ballpoint pen again and hesitated, "That's fine." "Put your hand next to the bed.
"Officer ......" The courier still wanted to plead, but was stopped by the police wave, he stared at the boy on the bed: "Do you have parents?"
Fang Fei blinked, and the policeman asked again, "Where are they?"
The boy tried to answer, but he couldn't figure out the whereabouts of his parents. When he thought about it, there was a sharp pain on his body, Fang Fei's facial features were wrinkled, and a dull ** came out of his nose.
"Analgesics!" The doctor called the nurse, the slender needle pierced the vein, Fang Fei was chilled, everyone's voices became softer and softer, and the scene in front of him was like a shaking aquatic weed, in a trance, far and near, and then completely disappeared......
"You're going to die!" the cruel voice sounded again, "All of them will!"
His eyes widened to see through the darkness. This is not the first time that this dream has appeared, but this period of time is extremely frequentβthe same words, the same voice, he looked and looked, but he couldn't see each other's appearance clearly.
Maybe it's not a person, it's just a shadow.
The spear was stuck in his chest, the pain was heartbreaking, he pulled it out hard, the spear did not move, and the gasp of the huge beast came from his side......
Fang Fei woke up in pain, the night was already dark, and the emergency light next to the bed emitted a faint fluorescence.
This is a triple room. The patient on the left tosses and turns, making the bed creak, and the patient on the right snores loudly and long with his mouth open.
The effect of analgesics is waning, every muscle is complaining, every bone is **. The distress button was close at hand, but he couldn't move a finger.
There was a hot, wet breath on the left, as if someone was blowing at him. The boy tried to turn his eyes, and in an instant, if it weren't for the injury to his mouth, he would have screamed loudly.
In front of the bed squatted a black dog like a calf, with green eyes as big as a wine glass. It has a huge physique, but it is old and hairless, mottled and mottled, and looks withered and depressed.
Fang Fei's heart was shocked, and he wanted to get into the bed, but he was like a mummy right now, and he couldn't move.
The big black dog came up and snorted hot and wet on his face. Fang Fei was about to cry, but the black dog looked at him silently, his eyes were not like ignorant animals, but full of complicated feelings. The boy froze, dispelling the thought of closing his eyes, and looked at it in the nick of Keko.
The black dog's pupils shrank suddenly, the boy's heart tightened, he unconsciously opened his mouth, and there was a sharp pain in his temporal bone and jaw, but he couldn't stop, his mouth opened wider and wider, and a string of ** came out of his chest.
The black dog got closer and closer, the wrinkles on its face and the white whiskers were clearly visible, and it opened its mouth slightly, flowing out a thick white saliva that staggered towards Fang Fei's mouth.
"Stop, stop......" the boy shouted wildly in his heart, but the whole person was like a nightmare, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it at all.
Fang Fei was so disgusted that he was about to vomit, watching the saliva flow into his mouth, it was strange to say, the saliva was not filthy, but as sweet as honey, and the fragrance was full of strange fragrance. But in any case, this is all the saliva of the dog, Fang Fei was extremely sick to his stomach, and tried his best to vomit, who expected that his mouth did not obey the call, grunted, and swallowed the saliva instead.
Fang Fei was about to go crazy, but the black dog had no intention of giving up, and the saliva kept flowing into his mouth...... Fear and nausea, Fang Fei couldn't help but shed tears.
After a while, the black dog finally shut up, and stepped aside to gasp for air, exhausted from beginning to end.
"Damn!" Fang Fei closed his mouth, sat up, and threw up on the edge of the bed to vomit vigorously, but he hadn't eaten for a long time, and spit out a pool of water in vain.
After vomiting, the boy looked up and looked at the black dog. The black dog's green eyes were damp and his eyes were dim, and he looked at the boy fixedly, as if he had a deep meaning. Suddenly, Fang Fei came back to his senses, he had just sat up and didn't feel any discomfort.
The pain disappeared, the stiff feeling was gone, Fang Fei was so happy that he almost wanted to cheer loudly.
"Don't scream!" A voice came from his head, Fang Fei was stunned for a moment, glaring at the black dog, and the huge beast was also looking at him gloomily.
"See what I'm doing?" said the voice in his head, "Quick, get out of here." β
Fang Fei became more and more shocked, staring at the black dog and blurting out: "Are you talking?" As soon as the words came out, the patient on the left stopped snoring and let out a vague dream. Fang Fei hurriedly shut up, if anyone saw him talking to a dog, they would definitely treat him as a madman.
"Don't be afraid," the voice in his head added, "I'm here to save you." β
"You're here to save me?" Fang Fei stared at the black dog like a ghost, his heart jumped to his throat, he had countless questions, but he didn't know how to describe them, he was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "But you're a dog......"
"It doesn't matter what I am," said Black Dog impatiently, "Listen, you need to get out of the hospital right away." β
"Why?" Fang Fei lowered his voice and looked at the hospital beds on both sides with a weak heart.
"Stay, you'll die!" replied the black dog briefly.
Fang Fei was suspicious, and looked at his body: "Strange, why don't I hurt?...... what did you use?"
Before he finished speaking, the black dog suddenly stepped forward, bit the bandage and pulled it vigorously, Fang Fei couldn't scream, the bandage broke inch by inch, the plaster fell to the ground, and the patient next door babbled, as if he was about to wake up.
The black dog stopped moving, and after a few seconds, the next door fell silent and the patient fell asleep again.
Losing the bandage restraint, Fang Fei was like a moth breaking out of his cocoon, tearing off the remaining bandages in three or two times, jumping off the hospital bed, looking down, he was naked and slippery, only a pair of dirty underwear.
"Wear this!" the black dog brought a set of civilian clothes, beige t-shirt, blue trousers, the style is slightly old-fashioned, but the size fits well.
After some tossing, Fang Fei would not be surprised if the black dog did anything, he obediently put on his shirt and pants, and suddenly heard the black dog say again: "There is also this." It picked up the ballpoint pen and shoved it into the boy's hand without saying a word.
Fang Fei subconsciously took it, glaring at the other party confused: "What are you doing with this?"
"Press the button!" said the black dog.
Click, Fang Fei pressed the button at the end of the pen, the tip of the pen spit out, the refill was bright in an instant, and the pure green light was soft and tranquil, like a small flashlight illuminating the ward.
The boy was surprised, the pen body jumped suddenly, pulled forward hard, Fang Fei was caught off guard, the pen shaft took off, but it did not fall, stopped in front, faintly glowing.
Looking at the ballpoint pen floating in the air, Fang Fei's mouth was dry and his mind was in a mess. The black dog is already ridiculous to speak, and this pen goes one step further, completely defying gravity.
"It's a dream!" he clenched his fist hard, his nails digging into his palms, and a slight tingling came from his palms.
"Don't rub around," Black Dog ordered, "hold the pen." β
"Uh......" Fang Fei shook the rope and held the pen shaft, it was cold and cold, and there was nothing unusual, "How is this pen, how is it ......?"
"Follow it!" the black dog said as the ballpoint pen pulled forward again. Fang Fei was at a loss, swallowed his saliva, clenched the barrel of the pen, obeyed the traction of the ballpoint pen, and bypassed the hospital bed near the door. The patient on the bed grunted and rolled over, Fang Fei's heart was so frightened that he almost hit the corner of the bed.
The door was closed, and there was a string of scrawled handwriting on the door, glowing blue in the dark.
"What is that?" Fang Fei stared at the handwriting, but couldn't make out it.
"Disappearing Talisman," said the black dog in a deep voice, "With this talisman, no matter what happens in the room, no one outside will know about it." β
"You wrote that?"
"No," said the black dog, "the guy you wrote it." β
"In my hand?" Fang Fei stared at the ballpoint pen in his hand, his heart jumped, "You said this pen?"
"Yes!"
"What do you mean...... It writes on its own?"
"Yes!"
"Impossible," Fang Fei was about to delirious, "how can the pen write by itself"
"Dogs can talk, why can't pens write on their own?" the black dog looked as a matter of course, "don't ask, open the door." β
"But ......"
"Open the door!" the black dog pushed Fang Fei for a moment, and the ballpoint pen also pulled forward. The boy couldn't think of it, so he pulled the door open, and when he looked in, the corridor was quiet and empty, and there was a fist-sized hole in the wall facing the door, the edge was smooth and round, like a knife cutting tofu, and the hole was pitch black, and he didn't know where it led.
"Who hit the hole?" Fang Fei couldn't help but complain, "It's really lacking in virtue!"
"This pen is dry," the black dog paused, "and it opens this passage so I can enter the hospital." β
"Wait!" the boy's eyes widened, "you said you came from this hole?"
"Yes!"
"Liar!" Fang Fei looked at the entrance of the cave, and then at the black dog, "You are such a big man......"
"It's better to be smaller!" replied the black dog casually
"What?" cried the boy, "getting smaller?"
"Don't make a fuss," said the black dog angrily, "you'll alarm them!"
"They?" Fang Fei seemed to have fallen into the Pansi Cave, and his questions became more and more suspicious, entangled him breathlessly, "Who are they?"
"They're ......" the black dog suddenly stopped, staring into the distance, "Someone's coming!"
Wow, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, Fang Fei's scalp exploded, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but unexpectedly the ballpoint pen jumped forward, and the brush swung on its own. The boy couldn't help it, his fingers turned with it, and the tip of the pen spit out a blue light, leaving a number of handwritings, which flickered and disappeared before Fang Fei could see it clearly.
A female nurse appeared at the end of the corridor with a blazing fire, and a gust of wind rushed in front of Fang Fei. The boy shrank back, but the nurse ignored him and strode past him.
"It's all right," the black dog whispered, "she can't see us." β
"Can't see?" Fang Fei couldn't believe it, "Why?"
"This pen wrote a 'Xuanxiang Barrier Talisman', with this talisman, we don't exist in the eyes of ordinary people. β
"You mean......" Fang Fei stared at the ballpoint pen, "can it make us invisible?"
"Stealth? well, almost. β
"I'm definitely dreaming. Fang Fei raised his left hand and twisted his cheek vigorously, the sharp pain causing him to hiss.
"Don't be stupid, it's not a dream......" Before the black dog finished speaking, Fang Fei turned his head and roared at it with red eyes, "What the hell is going on? β
"Alright!" the black dog was silent for a moment, "you're stuck in the hospital, and there's bad guys watching you......"
"Bad guys?" Fang Fei looked around, "Where are you?"
"Don't interject, listen to me," the black dog said urgently, "those bad guys are hiding in the shadows, they have planted a powerful barrier around the hospital, and if I come to save you, I will fall into a trap." β
"How can there be a trap...... Fang Fei saw the black dog's eyes and swallowed back the words raw.
"The Bad Guy's Barrier has two weaknesses," the Black Dog continued, "first, it only works for us, and ordinary people can come and go as they please, and second, it only works externally, not internally, and cannot be broken from the outside, but it can be destroyed from the inside of the hospital." So we used a courier to take this pen to the hospital, and this pen is in touch with the owner's heart, and it can be operated no matter where the user is. We manipulated the pen outside the hospital, using it to write spells, break barriers, and create an inconspicuous loophole. β
"That little hole, you say?" Fang Fei looked back, and the hole in the wall was a little smaller, like an eye, staring at him coldly.
"Yes!" said the black dog, "the hole must not be too big, or it will alarm the enemy, but if it is too small, you will not be able to get through." β
"Then how do we get out?" Fang Fei was skeptical.
"Follow the pen," the black dog strolled forward, "and there is an exit." β
"Where?"
"Upstairs!"
"Upstairs?" Fang Fei saw the black dog walking away, so he had to follow, "Who are those bad guys, why am I here?"
"You don't know?" the black dog stopped.
Fang Fei shook his head blankly, the black dog tilted his head to look at him, his eyes were full of doubts, and the boy couldn't help but ask, "What's the problem?"
"You're not right...... Black Dog suddenly pricked up his ears, his eyes widened, sniffed around twice, and muttered in a low voice, "Oh no!"
"What?" Before Fang Fei could speak, there was a rustling sound behind him, and when he looked back, a thick white smoke gushed out of the small hole, flowing down the wall, rapidly shrinking and condensing, turning into many ugly and strange little things, no more than ten centimeters long, with a pointed head and a long tail, covered with lizard-like scale armor, slender toes firmly attached to the wall, their eyes as small as mung beans, and a sharp mouth split, revealing razor-like teeth.
"Run!" The black dog bit the corner of Fang Fei's clothes and pulled hard, the boy almost fell, he stumbled forward, the ground was cold and hard, the soles of his feet ached faintly, and there was a chill behind him, which made people feel creepy.
He couldn't help but look back, and found that there were more and more little monsters, thousands of them, not only from small holes, but also from the ceiling, like a turbid current, flowing down the wall, but wherever he climbed, the color of the monster also changed, and in the blink of an eye, it merged with the wall and the floor
"What the hell is that?" Fang Fei was on the verge of madness - the smoke turned into a swarm of rats, crawling like geckos, changing color like chameleons.
"Rat lizard!" said the black dog snapped, "the loophole has been discovered. β
"Isn't there stealth, why can they see me?"
"They have a very smart nose, run fast, and the rat lizard will gnaw away your bones. β
Fang Fei's soul was scattered, and he ran wildly in the corridor with a pen. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and a doctor and two nurses came up, and the doctor was holding the medical records and talking to the nurses.
Fang Fei hesitated, but the black dog collided with him from behind, so he had no choice but to rush over, bypassing the three of them, bringing a whirlwind, and the three of them stopped and looked around.
Fang Fei ran out of a few meters, afraid that the rat lizard would attack the three of them, and when he looked back, the rat lizard deftly bypassed the three of them, setting off a breeze that blew the pages in the doctor's hand rustling.
"Where's the wind?" the doctor held down the page and complained to the nurse, "It's annoying to be on the night shift, my wife is on a business trip today, and no one cares about the children at home......"
Fang Fei didn't dare to stop, the ballpoint pen dragged him to the end of the corridor, passed through a door, and went up the stairs. Fang Fei had just recovered from his injury, and he hadn't eaten, and after running less than two floors, he felt that his back was sore and his legs were weak, so he couldn't help but stop, holding on to the stairs and gasping for breath.
"Don't stop," the black dog tugged at the corners of his coat, "and ride on me." Fang Fei was stunned in response, and the black dog lowered his head, drilled under his crotch, and forcibly put him on his back.
"Ahh
The black dog jumped lightly, jumping over an entire flight of stairs, and then jumping over a second staircase.
"Why don't you take the elevator?" Fang Fei looked at the dark corridor.
"The iron cage, you say?" the black dog panted, "No, there are too many rat lizards, we'll be trapped......"
The rustling sound became more and more urgent, Fang Fei was frightened when he heard it, and suddenly felt that his shoulder sank, and a rat lizard opened its mouth to bite. He didn't think about it, grabbed the monster with his backhand, pinched its sharp mouth, and the furry feel made his scalp explode. The boy rounded his arm and threw it forward, snapping, and the lizard fell against the wall, turning over and suddenly sucking the wall firmly.
The black dog rushed to the end of the hallway and slammed open an iron door. The cool breeze blew in his face, and Fang Fei's head was a little clearer. He turned his head to look around, and secretly complained - this was already the roof of the hospital, and there was no way to go except to jump off the building.
The black dog turned against the iron door, and there was a tooth-aching gnawing sound behind the door, and in the blink of an eye, there were a few more holes in the steel-forged door, and the rat lizards burrowed into it in rows. The black dog waved its front paws and flapped indiscriminately, and the rat lizard turned into a mass of flesh and fell to the ground with a snap, and several rat lizards dodged their paws and jumped on the black dog, opening their sharp beaks and gnawing on their razor-like teeth.
The black dog let out a roar of pain, turned around and bit the lizard, chewed it twice, and swallowed it, but the hole in the iron door quickly expanded, and the lizard rushed in like a waterfall. They were not afraid of death, and pounced on the black dog like a storm.
In the blink of an eye, the black dog's body was crawling with rat lizards, and it was whirling around, scratching and biting, and the corpse of the rat lizard quickly submerged it, and slimy blood flowed all over the ground, gathering into a small pool.
Fang Fei saw that his legs were weak, and he couldn't help but retreat step by step. His mind was in a mess, and everything seemed to slow down in front of him: the black dog was jumping up and down, too busy to take care of himself, and the rat lizard easily bypassed it, rushing over it like a tide.
The ballpoint pen suddenly jumped, pulling Fang Fei's right hand, the tip of the pen was aimed at the mouse lizard, and a stream of heat drilled into his fingertips, passing through his arms, shoulders, and neck, and reaching the tip of his tongue in one breath.
"Heavenly Spirits and Spirits Dispel Evil Spirits......" A series of words rushed out of the boy's lips, the ballpoint pen ran like a fly, and the tip of the pen left a series of handwriting in the void, and the blue light was shining, and it was fleeting.
There was a loud sound in the air, and the blue light on the tip of the pen suddenly soared, bright and transparent, like the sea water under the sun, and swept the entire roof of the building in an instant.
The rat lizards hit the blue light, like hitting a soft wall, they let out a terrible scream, and they popped out, flying out more than 20 meters, and falling downstairs like raindrops.
The mouse lizard on the black dog was also swept away. It trotted and rushed to Fang Fei's side, its appearance was miserable, its body was covered with tiny wounds, rat blood and dog blood were stuck together, in pieces, difficult to distinguish.
"What just now, what just happened?" Fang Fei shuddered.
"Nothing," the black dog asked urgently, "where is the pen pointing?"
Fang Fei didn't have time to answer, the ballpoint pen tugged vigorously, dragging him around in a full circle, and the tip of the pen pointed behind him.
"Go ahead!" the black dog pushed Fang Fei to the edge of the roof, and the boy looked down, his legs limpβthe building was twenty stories high.
"Jump forward!" Black Dog ordered.
"What?" Fang Fei doubted his ears.
"Jump forward!" said the black dog again, "the exit is ahead." β
"Are you kidding?" Fang Fei shouted, "You let me jump off the building?"
"Jump!" the black dog urged.
"Impossible, I'm ......" Before Fang Fei finished speaking, there was a dull thunder in the sky, and he raised his eyes to see that there was nothing in the sky, and there was a black cloud, tumbling and tumbling, flowing down towards the top of the building.
"What's that?" Fang Fei opened his mouth wide and looked at the black clouds as they pressed lower and lower. He was horrified to find that it was not a cloud, but a myriad of huge bats, gathered together, all black, their fiery red eyes shining like stars, the so-called thunder, the sound of their wings flapping at the same time,
Suddenly, a scream was heard, and the bats were in a commotion, and a behemoth squeezed away the bats, swooping down, its wings as sharp as knives, its neck winding like snakes, and its two giant eyes burning and shining, shining down like searchlights.
"It's ...... Ah......" Before Fang Fei finished speaking, the black dog hit him, the force was surprisingly great, Fang Fei left his feet off the ground and pounced forward, and in his scream, the roof of the building had fallen behind him.
The wind was blowing, Fang Fei's heart stopped beating, and it was pitch black in front of him, and there was no "exit" at all. His body was like a dead fish in the refrigerator, his limbs were cold and stiff, and only the ballpoint pen was still moving. At this juncture, it was still in Fang Fei's hand, the barrel of the pen vibrated violently, and the tip of the pen wrote words at a speed that was difficult to read with the naked eye.
The bright cyan handwriting gathered together, like a large group of buzzing and flying fireflies, flying in front of Fang Fei, forming a circle of light, faster than lightning, spinning extremely fast, driving the airflow to form a whirlwind. The words were scattered among them, outlining the outline of the whirlwind, it was a huge whirlpool of light, green and vast, bottomless, and a strong suction force gushed out from the eye of the wind, and the volley grabbed Fang Fei's body, like a monster snake's huge mouth, sucking him in at once.
The black dog looked up at the snake-necked monster, a hint of mockery flashing in its eyes, and it leaped forward and burrowed into the whirlpool, and the cyan light was extinguished. The snake-necked monster could pounce, but it pounced, glided for more than ten meters, turned around, and found that Fang Fei, the black dog, and the whirlwind were all gone.
The monster roared in a low voice, flying around where the whirlwind had disappeared. A pitch-black figure stood on its back, like a cold iron pillar, and a huge swarm of bats circled above his head, gathering and scattering, obscuring the sky and the moon.
"Don't bother, Ghost Bafang," the crow appeared beside the monster, "it's the 'Blue Wind Escape Technique', and they're gone." β
"Damn!" the dark shadow on the monster's back growled, "how did they get through the barrier?"
"I guess they took advantage of naked worms. β
"What do you mean?" Oni Hachifang looked at his accomplice in confusion.
"The barrier can't prevent naked insects, and someone brought the Dao weapon into the hospital and broke the barrier from the inside. β
"What kind of Dao weapon?" asked Oni Hachifang.
"I don't know!" the raven shook her head.
"They can't escape," Oni Bafang gritted his teeth, "any retreat will leave a mark, baby, do you smell it?" he stroked the snake-necked monster, who craned its neck, sniffed back and forth, and let out a roar towards the southeast.
"Catch up!" Ghost Hagifang waved his hand, and the basilik flapped its wings and flew high, followed by bats, black and curved, as if a huge question mark was lying across the sky.
The crow watched the "question mark" disappear, sighed, shrugged, and disappeared.
Fang Fei rolled with the whirlwind, the huge wind pressure manipulated his body at will, one moment it compressed into a ball, turning into a small projectile, and the other time it pulled around, as if it was about to tear him in half...... For a moment, he thought he was going to die, but the whirlwind changed direction, turned around, and dived down at great speed.
Blood rushed to his brain, Fang Fei's eyes were dark, but fortunately, the time was short, before he fainted, the boy's feet sank, and he finally stepped on the ground.
The whirlwind momentum was violent, Fang Fei turned around a few times, and after a moment of drowsiness, the object in front of him gradually became clearerβhe was standing in an old courtyard, with mottled walls on all sides, and in the center of the courtyard there was a large locust tree, with strange branches in shape, like a flying dragon. To the west of the locust tree is a small two-storey building, which is very traditional Chinese architecture.
Bang, the black dog fell from the sky and landed beside him, lying on the ground and panting.
"Where is this?" Fang Fei looked around in surprise.
The black dog didn't answer, and an old female voice came from behind him: "This is my house." β
Fang Fei was startled, turned around and looked, the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of soft-soled cloth shoes, the shoes belonged to an old woman, she was full of silver hair, thin and elegant, her eyes were as bright as pearls, and she was holding a long cigarette stick in her hand, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, and the smoke made her face blurred.
This is not ordinary tobacco, the smoke has passed, the strange fragrance is flowing, Fang Fei inhaled a little, and his consciousness became clear.
"Thank goodness," the old woman leaned over and drew the ballpoint pen from his hand, "you still have it." β
Even though he was in the eye of the storm, Fang Fei kept holding the pen, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know why he did that.
"It's fate!" the old woman saw through his thoughts, "this pen likes you and is willing to follow you." β
"What kind of pen is this?" Fang Fei could finally talk to people instead of listening to a dog nagging in his head.
"Wishful thinking. The old woman replied.
"You made it?" Fang Fei asked again.
"I don't have the skills for that," the old woman shook her head slightly, "an old gentleman made it." β
Fang Fei looked at the black dog, and then at the old woman: "You are its owner?" The old woman nodded: "My surname is Long......! Mrs. Dragon, alright. β
"Why did you bring me here?"
"I want to give you something," Lady Dragon looked at the boy with a look of sadness, "I wanted to do this a long time ago. β
"A long time ago?" Fang Fei scratched his head vigorously, "You know me?"
"No," Lady Long pursed her lips, "I know your parents. β
"Mom and Dad?" Fang Fei was in high spirits and asked urgently, "Where are they? How did I get hurt? Who left me in the ......hospital?"
Madam Long looked at him silently, and only after a while did she say, "Don't you remember?" Fang Fei said strangely: "Should I remember?"
Madam Long looked directly into his eyes, her gaze was cold and sharp, Fang Fei was very uncomfortable, lowered her head, and suddenly heard the old woman whisper: "It's okay if you don't remember." β
"Why?" Fang Fei was suspicious, "Have you seen my parents?"
Mrs. Long wanted to speak and stopped, the sadness in her eyes gradually became stronger, Fang Fei's intuition was not good, and when she was about to ask carefully, the black dog suddenly jumped up and barked at the northwest, Mrs. Long turned her eyes, frowned and said, "Good guy, it's really fast." β
"Who?" Fang Fei looked up at the sky, but saw nothing.
"Enemy!" replied the old woman briefly.
Fang Fei was frightened when he thought of the monsters he had seen, and hurriedly asked, "Are they catching up?" Mrs. Long nodded: "Follow me!"
"What are you doing?" Fang Fei followed behind the old woman in a daze, "My parents ......"
"We'll talk about that later," Lady Long walked into the small building without looking back, "We have more important things to do." β
Fang Fei walked into the small building with her, the furniture in the room was all ebony, dark and shiny, and the style was simple, and a large painting of a black dragon was hung on the wall of the door, with teeth and claws, swaying, the fly in the ointment was that the eye sockets were blank and there was no dye longan.
"Why doesn't this dragon have eyes?" Fang Fei asked curiously.
"Ever heard of the finishing touch?" asked Lady Long nonchalantly.
"I've heard that," Fang Fei replied casually, "that's an idiom." β
"That's not just an idiom," Lady Long exclaimed, "Ying Long!"
The big black dog walked into the house and looked at the old woman fixedly, his eyes moistened, and a drop of azure tears flowed from his left eye.
"It turns out that its name is Ying Long," Fang Fei thought to himself, looking at the black dog, "The name is quite imposing." β
Madame Long put down the cigarette stick and pulled out a brush from her waist, the silver-gray pen shaft was slender and smooth, the pen barrel was pure blue and transparent, wrapped in a tuft of pale black hairs.
Madame Long stretched out her brush and dipped it in the black dog's tears, and pointed it in Mo Long's eyes, her lips twitched slightly, and a wonderful trilling sound came out of her throat.
The ink dragon squirmed, Fang Fei rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was delusional, but the dragon's eyes brightened, emitting a pale green glow.
Fang Fei took a step back, subconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes staring at Mo Long, and his whole person was like a tense bowstring.
The dragon struggled and poked its head out of the drawing paper, the dragon's head was huge, the dragon's horns propped up to the roof, followed by the neck and torso, it rushed straight towards Fang Fei, fluttering and swift as the wind. The boy was so frightened that he froze and closed his eyes tightly, but the expected impact did not occur, and the breeze blew in his face, leaving behind a stale smell.
Fang Fei was about to collapse, his legs were softer than noodles, but curiosity overcame fear, he secretly opened his eyes, and saw the oily dragon scales at a glance, and the flowing dragon tail swept across his cheeks, cold and cold, not painful or itchy
The boy looked back, and the ink dragon floated in the sky like a pale black cloud. It went around to the bottom of the locust tree, coiled around the trunk, and turned around the locust tree against the stars and moon, one, two, three times...... After nine full turns, a low roar came from under the locust tree.
Boom, with the soil under the roots, the locust tree moved westward, the earth was a hungry man, and its big mouth opened gloomily, and the dark green stone steps could be seen at the entrance of the cave, and milky white clouds gushed outward from the hole.
There was a gloomy thunder in the sky, Mrs. Long looked up, her brows furrowed, Ying Long barked twice, her fangs were exposed, and her eyes showed a fierce light.
"I'll lure them away," Madame Long said to Fang Fei, "you go into the cave and look for something." β
"What are you looking for?" Fang Fei looked at it, and a black cloud floated from the northwest, moving fast, small as a pawn at first glance, and as big as a basin in the blink of an eye.
"A white stone tablet. Lady Long said.
"White stone tablets?" Fang Fei looked at the black hole and felt his scalp tingle, "What's the use?"
"You'll know when you get it, remember, you have to get it yourself," Mrs. Long stared at the boy, seeing that he was still and couldn't help but stomp her feet, "Go, it's too late." β
Fang Fei still didn't move, the black dog became frantic and bit his trouser leg and dragged him to the edge of the hole. The cave was bottomless, Fang Fei looked at it, his heart was beating suddenly, he remembered Aladdin in "Arabian Nights", who entered the underground palace under the temptation of the wizard...... What awaits him below? Monsters, zombies, or countless treasures?
"Wait a minute," Mrs. Long walked up, took out the satisfactory pen, looked at the moonlight, and said regretfully, "The ink is almost finished, and it can be used three times!" and solemnly handed it to Fang Fei, "I'll give it to you, don't use it until the last resort." β
Fang Fei was a little dazed as he held the pen holder: "But it can move on its own!"
"It used to listen to me," the old woman blinked, "and from now on, it obeys you alone!"
Fang Fei lifted the ballpoint pen and found that compared to before, there was only one-fifth of the ink in the refill.
"Let's go!" Madame Long pushed him, and Fang Fei staggered into the hole.
The black dog blocked the entrance, and Fang Fei couldn't advance or retreat, so he had to walk down. He held up the ballpoint pen, the faint light from the refill illuminating the stone steps beneath his feet. The cave is surprisingly deep, and there is no bottom for more than a hundred steps, there are no monsters or treasures along the way, and there are clusters of moss growing on the damp stone walls in the east and west, which are cold and fluffy to the touch, which makes people very uncomfortable.
After walking for more than two minutes, the stone steps came to an end. Fang Fei entered a stone room, which was shrouded in clouds and mist, shrouded in a bright white light. He stopped, raised the ballpoint pen, stared at the light, and imagined that he had a pistol in his hand, and the white light was the monster's one-eyed, and if the monster pounced, he would point the ballpoint pen, and bang, the monster's blood was splattered on the spot.
With a burst of excitement in his heart, he brought the tip of his pen to his lips and blew away the green smoke that swirled around the muzzle of the gun in his fantasy.
"Satisfactory......" he squinted at the ballpoint pen, trying to guess how it worked.
The clouds and mist suddenly dissipated, the light source was revealed, and a white stone tablet lay on the quaint bluestone table. Fang Fei walked up and picked up the stone tablet, the thing was very light to hold, warm and smooth, like the skin of a living person.
The stone chamber shook and shook violently, upside down, like a big ship in a tsunami.
Fang Fei was startled, turned around and ran, just stepped on the stairs, and the rocks fell behind him. He didn't dare to turn back, so he gave up his life and rushed out of the cave in one breath, still feeling the shaking of the earth. A cool breeze blew in his face, and the boy staggered, turned his head to look around, and found that there was no one.
"Ying Long," Fang Fei shouted, his throat choked slightly, "Lady Long...... No one answered, the courtyard was empty, as quiet as a tomb.
Squeak, there was a sound behind him, Fang Fei looked back, the cave healed like a wound, the locust tree moved back to its original position, the ink dragon let go of the trunk in a circle, and the green miserable eyes glared at him.
"Oh!" Fang Fei panicked, rushed into the small building, ran up to the second floor, and glanced back before going upstairs, the huge dragon tail was rapidly drilling into the picture scroll.
He leaned against the wall and gasped, vaguely understanding one thing in his mind - the old world was falling apart, the strange things he saw tonight were part of the new world, and his common sense was completely challenged - talking dogs, discoloring mice, flying ink dragons, magical ballpoint pens, and ......
Fang Fei looked at the white stone tablet, it was the most ordinary thing he encountered tonight, but why did Madam Long go to such great lengths to hide it underground?
Fang Fei lifted the stone plate, knocked it, pinched it, and there was no response.
The doors on the second floor are all open, and there is a study in addition to the bedroom. Fang Fei walked in, there was an old-fashioned table lamp on the desk, he put down the stone plate, twisted the switch, and carefully inspected it by the light.
The lithographs are rectangular, slightly larger than a book, and look a lot like a tablet, with a white and hard material, slightly transparent under the light. There is a vague shadow in the center of the stone tablet, which at first glance is a circle, but on closer inspection, it is a small Taiji figure, with white and black, and there is no yin and yang poles.
Fang Fei stretched out his hand to stroke Tai Chi, his fingertips had just touched, and there was a tingling pain, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and the stone plate fell on the table.
There was a small hole in the fingertip, and blood flowed from it. Fang Fei sucked his fingers, wondering in his heart - the stone is slippery, how can there be spikes?
The stone tablet lay on the table, and a drop of blood trembled and stopped above the Taiji, and suddenly penetrated down, turning into a slender line of blood, flowing rapidly around the outline of the Taiji diagram. In the blink of an eye, Tai Chi became half red and half white, and two yin and yang fish were about to come out, the red fish had white eyes, but the white fish had a smart red eye.
Tai Chi rotates silently, the white fish turns up, the red fish falls below, and the stone plate bursts out with dazzling light, red and white, illuminating the study.
Fang Fei was so curious that he stretched out his hand, his fingertips touched the stone tablet, and with a snort, a strong light flashed, and the stone plate disappeared.
