Chapter 105: Terror after 11 o'clock
The song only appeared for a few seconds, and then suddenly it was gone, and all that was left was the sound of the rushing water lingering in my ears, and the silence between heaven and earth made me think that the song that suddenly appeared just now was just my illusion, but what about the faint sadness that still echoed in my heart?
"Chengyi, what's wrong with you?" Uncle Johnny had a puzzled look on his face, we were obviously talking, but I suddenly flared up, and then frowned, this behavior was obviously abnormal.
Didn't Uncle Johnny hear it? Except for Uncle Johnny and me, of course, there were other people on the deck, and I looked up at the others, except for Lu Shan, who was thoughtful, and the rest of the people didn't react.
"Didn't you hear anything?" I asked, confused.
Everyone looked at me inexplicably, and Xiao Chengqian even teased: "What do you want to hear in this river full of fierce fish?" I'd like to have a sexy chick who says 'comeon' in my ear, and of course I'll be happier with a 'baby', and I've seen a lot of 'Black Pearl' lately. ”
The black pearl in Xiao Chengqian's mouth refers to an Indian girl with beautiful facial features, but unfortunately her skin is a little darker, which does not meet Xiao Dashao's aesthetics.
Ruyue glared at Xiao Chengqian, after this kid had in-depth contact with him, where was there still the deliberate demeanor and elegance that he had before, and his speech and demeanor were more like a bandit.
But I didn't have the heart to pay attention to Xiao Chengqian's ridicule, I didn't believe that I would have illusions, I stood up and walked towards the edge of the deck, I thought the song came from the river, and the side of the deck could hear it more clearly, but at this time there was Wal-Mart's weak voice, but it was so urgent: "Don't leave me alone in the room, I just hurt my leg, please, I'm afraid." ”
"What are you afraid of? Is it true that a big man is still shooting black like a child? Xiao Chengqian responded.
"I'm not afraid of the dark, I just suddenly heard a woman singing, damn, that fish must be poisonous, neurotoxin, so I had a delusion, but anyway, thank you for getting me to the deck." Wal-Mart is so eager.
But no one took his words seriously, and Brother Chengxin even snorted dissatisfied, saying, "Are you doubting my medical skills?" Could it be that you are poisoned, I can't see it? Don't make excuses, okay? ”
Wal-Mart groaned helplessly, but my heart shook suddenly, and I turned my head and said, "No, Wal-Mart didn't make excuses, Huigen'er, go and get that guy out, I have something to ask him." ”
Hui Gen'er listened to me the most, and when she saw me say this, she immediately answered and went to the cabin to carry Wal-Mart out.
Wal-Mart, who was brought out, was unusually sensitive to me, and while praising Hui Gen'er's strength and strength, he said to me: "Chengyi, I know that the kindest of them is you, and even the three women are not as kind as you." ”
He didn't know that his words had inadvertently offended the three women, and the hot-tempered Seungjin wanted to 'clean up' him the next moment.
However, I stopped Cheng Zhen and asked Walmart very seriously, "Did you hear someone singing just now?" ”
Wal-Mart obviously didn't expect me to ask him this, and blinked his big eyes innocently and said, "It's just like, I'm not sure at all, that song just appeared and sang?" Wal-Mart looked puzzled, and finally shrugged at me and said, "I'm sorry, Seiichi, I really don't know." ”
I was not disappointed with this answer, but looked at Walmart and said: "I have actually always wondered why Ruan Qingqiu's forces would take you as an apprentice, and now I have a guess, you must answer me honestly, okay?" ”
"No problem."
"Aren't you very good at spiritual sense?" I asked seriously.
"Yes, at least that's what my master said, people with excellent spiritual sense are talented people, if nothing else, at least it means that the soul is strong, and the soul is strong, but it's a pity, Chengyi, you know, my family is a rare one-child family, in your Huaxia words, I am a lone seedling, I have to spend a long time in India in the year, and I can only go occasionally" Wal-Mart's expression was proud, he seemed to have forgotten about the injury in the afternoon, and began to gush.
I felt like a flock of crows were croaking in my ears, and I couldn't help but say, "Okay, you don't have to explain to me why you're so good at the Dao, I don't think I'm interested in knowing." ”
It is true that Wal-Mart is very good at all aspects of the Dao, even the simplest basic techniques and steps are very reluctant, let alone the higher-level techniques, but he forgot it, the reason he once said that the first entry time is still short, and the second time to practice is limited, and his family has many things that he also needs to deal with.
Such a sudden appearance was like a brief episode, which passed quickly, and we didn't notice that Uncle Johnny's face became a little ugly at that time, nor did we notice that the time was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, or what happened in the afternoon, which made us feel palpitations and didn't want to sleep so much.
Then we started drinking again, chatting, and discussing the plan of action for the future.
The time unconsciously pointed to 11 o'clock, and I don't know why there was a large white mist on the river, and before that, I heard several intermittent, indistinct singing, but, because there was no effect, I didn't want to increase everyone's psychological pressure, so I didn't bring it up again.
On two occasions, Wal-Mart was visibly moved, but I hinted at him preventing him from speaking out.
Because this song finally reminded me of one thing, that is, the legend that Singh told me before entering this river, a martyred woman, wandering day and night, and the moving song of murder
"Okay, I think we still need to rest, and we have important things to do tomorrow." Uncle Johnny seemed a little excited, and finally after drinking the whiskey in his hand, he proposed to rest.
At this time, I didn't know why, I subconsciously glanced at my watch, it was just 11 o'clock.
In the face of Uncle Johnny's proposal, everyone may also feel tired and say yes, but at this moment, a singing voice that has never been so clear came from the depths of the river.
The voice of the song was small, but it was so clear, it was an Indian song, the melody was not as cheerful as the common Indian songs, but there was an indescribable faint sadness, and the female voice that sang was so ethereal, ethereal, mixed with strong personal emotions - it was a desperate sadness, which made people grieve in an instant.
"Chengyi, after 11 o'clock at night, anything strange will appear. People should know how to avoid it, so it is best to sleep before 11 o'clock every night, if you can't do it, try not to go out after 11 o'clock, not to say that you must be afraid of those strange things, this is due respect. Master's words came back to my heart, one he said when he was a child when he told me about reverence for all things.
However, when I grew up, I found that the bigger the city, the more this awe was lost, and it was useless to do so, because the popularity was too concentrated, and human beings strongly crushed some of the existing spaces, and they did not appear, and there was no need for awe, originally, such a division was equal and fair, and day and night existed separately.
I don't know, in a big city, such a thing is good or bad?
Putting aside all these cluttered thoughts, I still walked towards the deck, 11 o'clock, did it appear?
This time, it was no longer me who heard it, but everyone heard the mournful singing, and everyone's reaction was different, the most afraid was naturally Wal-Mart, hiding in the middle of everyone, a little trembling, and the reaction of others was not big, just a little confused.
However, I, Lu Shan, Brother Chengxin and a few others are different, judging from the common expression, we were reminded of the lost lover, and a bitter despair began to churn in our hearts.
I knew that this was definitely not a normal phenomenon, the Penglai stopped in a safe place, and we, as cultivators, were all aroused by the distant singing, which was a dangerous signal, so I said loudly: "Don't listen carefully, everyone silently recite the meditation technique." ”
But I didn't want my words to fall, Wal-Mart, who was trembling with fear just now, and Singh, who was not much better than him, suddenly became confused, and then walked in my direction.
Here I am at the edge of the deck, towards the river over there.
"Stop Walmart." Uncle Johnny's voice came, his expression sad and painful, but he grabbed Singh, grabbed a bottle of unfinished wine beside him, and poured it towards Singh.
Naturally, I stopped Wal-Mart, who was limping to my side, and grabbed him, and the easiest way was to slap him hard.
Singh and Wal-Mart suddenly came to their senses, Brother Chengqing stepped on the deck, and began to recite the Tao Te Ching loudly, as a cultivator, Brother Chengqing must have the power to think, aside from this, the scriptures of the Tao Te Ching itself have a certain indescribable power, it is a transcendent power, and when reciting, it can naturally resist the influence of singing.
In this way, it is the best kind of help for people like Walmart and Singer who can't do the mantra carefully.
The singing continued, and I sighed helplessly, because I didn't need to open my eyes to the sky, I also saw that behind the big white mist on the river, there were a lot of wandering ghosts.
