Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Land of Terror Again
In my cloth bag, there are 5 'Immortal Guiding Paths', a stack of talismans, a peachwood sword, and a magic weapon that serves as the eye of the formationβthe copper coin given to me by the master's uncle. ()
The string of agarwood is still on his wrist, and he still has tiger claws around his neck.
Listening to the yin wind of the call outside, I was thinking about my own capital, which could save my life and Brother Sheng's lives at a critical time.
"Sanwa'er, you have learned the magic technique, but you can't use it easily, your spiritual sense is too strong, I'm afraid you will become crazy." Master's words are still in my ears, but please magic, that is my greatest capital.
I didn't know if I was doing this right or wrong, and what the consequences would be, and on this night, my heart was a little confused.
The next morning, Master didn't go out, he was carefully looking at a map, carefully marking something on the map, I gently walked up to Master and asked, "Master, aren't you going out today?" β
"The map is complete, there's no need to venture to that village again." Master looked at the map seriously and said to me casually.
"Master, this map is very important?" I said absentmindedly that I actually had a stomach full of things I wanted to say to Master, but I didn't know how to speak, so I could only talk about something else.
"Yes, it's very important, this is the key to finding out the old village chief!" Master continued to mark something with a red pen, but unfortunately I didn't know anything about the character line, but I just felt that what Master marked had something to do with Feng Shui, but I didn't understand it.
"Master, why did you say you were going to start acting after today?" I pretended not to care and asked, after all, it was about the safety of me and Brother Sheng, I had to ask clearly, it was really too dangerous, even if I lost Brother Sheng, I wouldn't go.
"This is a time period, today is the 9th day, there are still 6 days to go, on the last day, he will definitely appear, it is the strongest, but also the weakest, we don't fight unprepared battles, 6 days is enough time to prepare." Master said.
"Master, is it safe for the past 6 days?" I asked cautiously.
"We are on a mission, and there is no day that can be said to be safe." Master replied to me casually, and then concentrated on his map.
I paced out and gave Brother Sheng a look, meaning that the action would continue, and in a few minutes we would be leaving.
A few minutes later, Brother Sheng and I went out separately, after all, people can't be locked up in a house all day long, and in this remote village, people here often walk around.
Brother Sheng and I just pretended to take a walk and went out separately.
We agreed to meet at the foot of the mountain.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Fate is a charismatic guy, its charm is that you can never see his face clearly, but you have always had expectations and illusions about it, because it belongs to you, unique, not repeating things, you are reluctant to put a trace of bad things on it, although it is sometimes a bad guy, tossing you are very painful.
On that day, fate played another joke on me, because less than half an hour after I left, the reinforcements arrived, and there were some people in it that I had been concerned about day and night, and more importantly, they brought a piece of news, very important news, which I missed with them, and Brother Sheng also missed with them.
This is fate, obviously such a small village, the two of us who go separately can miss it with a group of people.
Fate, when it causes tragedy, does not blink, it has no feelings.
Twenty minutes after I went out, Brother Sheng and I met at the foot of the mountain, his expression was very serious, my expression was also very serious, I turned out the yellow cloth bag hidden under my clothes, carried it on my body, and then took out a bundle of string from it.
This is really a bundle of strings, because I don't have the ability of the master to tie the soul knot, so use the stupidest way to tie the two of us together.
I tied the rope around my waist, it was very strong, and then I tied it around Brother Sheng's waist, and I said to him: "This rope is what I laughed at, the rope of the special forces, it is very strong." β
Brother Sheng nodded, he said to me very seriously: "This is my wish, but let you take the adventure with you, if there is really danger, I am willing to let me die, you must run, you don't want to lose me." β
"None of them will die." I said lightly, but there was an indescribable depression in my heart.
After dividing the insect repellent medicine bag and tying my trouser legs tightly, I took off the agarwood in my hand, tore it off again, took out two, and then put the rest into a yellow cloth bag.
"This thing is worn, the effect is not too strong, let's take one in our mouths, don't swallow it for me, that fog has the ability to confuse people."
"I know." Brother Sheng threw it into his mouth like throwing a sugar pill, his attitude was more relaxed than mine, and I always felt that Brother Sheng had a feeling of risking his life.
All the preparations were made, and I took Brother Sheng into the heavy fog.
In the fog, I still feel like that, the road is confused, but because of the agarwood beads in my mouth, my heart is extraordinarily calm, I don't think about anything else, just think, take one more step, I will be one more step closer to fulfilling the promise.
I was in front, Brother Sheng was behind, we walked very quietly, and when I couldn't see the road clearly, I lit the first 'Immortal Guide'.
The immortal guiding is a good thing, in Taoism it is more effective than the compass, because the compass is affected by the magnetic field, and this immortal guiding the way will not, because of the relationship between the above talismans, the smoke it emits will only drift towards the place where there is an exit.
I didn't know much about the principle of the immortal guide, to be honest, I didn't know the principle of the talisman pasted on it, until a long time later, I met a guy who could draw the immortal guide, he told me: "Actually, to put it bluntly, the immortal guide is actually a yang talisman, that is to say, it will be fixed to point to a place with sunshine and yang energy, and when you go to such a place, you will naturally get out of the maze of yin energy." This is our Taoist prop, used to deal with those things, if you are a road idiot, it is not easy to use it to find a way. β
According to the principle of the immortals, it is of course very good in this place, except for the wind when we are about to reach the top of the mountain, which caused me and Brother Sheng a little trouble, we actually climbed to the top of the mountain without danger.
Once born, twice ripe, is this the principle?
I cherished the immortal who was still half left, stood on the top of the mountain, and said to Brother Sheng: "In that fog, there are things that seem terrifying to normal people, Brother Sheng, can you live there?" I'm not like Master, who can seal the five senses, so I'm sorry, I can't let you close your eyes and open them again, and then come out. β
Brother Sheng didn't react, just stood on the top of the mountain, his eyes looked at the river under the mountain that he couldn't see clearly, the village was shrouded in fog, but the river didn't, standing on the top of the mountain, he could see it.
"Brother Sheng?" I screamed, Brother Sheng reacted, and then turned to me and said, "What am I going to do?" To walk through that fog? β
"First, don't be afraid. Second, it's even more ferocious to you. Third, if you can't do it, just shout at me, I've always been ahead of you. "I'll put it simply.
Brother Sheng glanced at me and said, "I'll try not to be a burden to you. β
The way down the mountain, of course, was very smooth, although Master told me that every day we were in was dangerous, but I still vaguely came up with a message, these 6 days should be safe, not half a month, just that day is not safe, right?
Perhaps, after all, we were the first people to visit this dead village in decades, and who knows the real situation?
15 days? In fact, I have already guessed what a tragedy the villagers are, they have been living those terrible fifteen days over and over again in the past few decades, even if they have become ghosts.
You can not be afraid of pain, you are not afraid of difficulties, but will you be afraid of non-stop, repetitive pain and difficulties? Just when you think you're relieved, it starts again!
Or the same is true of the reincarnation of the human world, so it is necessary to cultivate a delicate heart, which can be broken and liberated.
Thinking about it, Brother Sheng and I have stepped into the fog, I didn't look back at Brother Sheng, maybe the glance I was worried about at this time will also become his psychological pressure, the courage he needs now, the more courage the better.
Or the ghost crying wolf, when their voices sounded, I obviously felt Brother Sheng behind me tremble, but just for a moment, I felt that the person behind me was firm, and that kind of firm aura made me feel it, how much support should there be in my heart?
Human potential is limitless, and of course, it takes a seed to inspire. The teacher's last wish was unintentionally the seed in Brother Sheng's heart.
It's still those terrifying ghosts, it's still a hellish scene, and when we step out, I feel the rope tied to my body tighten, and when I turn my head, Brother Sheng is sitting on the ground.
I didn't go to explore Brother Sheng's psychology, I just looked at him and said; "Walked out, didn't it?"
"Yes, it won't be scary to come out." Brother Sheng took a few deep breaths and stood up.
"After seeing this, will you change from a scientist to a superstitious person?" I jokingly said that I needed a little lighter atmosphere to relieve the stress when I thought of that terrifying silent world, and even though everything was going well for us here.
"No, neuropathy is also a science, isn't it? I don't guarantee that what I just saw is the world as seen by a neurological patient, and that's worth studying. Perhaps, in the future, I can become a medical scientist. "Brother Sheng is actually very humorous occasionally.
"Let's go, let's go into the village. The good news is that we got here, and the bad news is that to that river, your destination, needs to cross this village. "I wanted to laugh, but the last expression was a frown, and I couldn't control it.
