Chapter 25: Horror
That sneer made my whole body cold, not because I was afraid, but because I smelled the smell of a secret that had been buried for many years, and I had walked into a whirlpool, and the whirlpool was full of some kind of daunting unknown.
The magic was completed in this instant, and the will of the demon pawn began to scatter and drift away, and began to act for the request I had requested, temporarily suppressing these ordinary people.
Immediately, the world seemed to be quiet, the originally chaotic scene, the people who were dancing like demons, all of them stopped all their movements at once, and some people had their cloaks uncovered in the process of twisting the old man, and their eyes stayed in a moment of horror.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of guilt flashed in my heart, since I invited a ghost pawn, such a 'hypnotic suppression' similar to confusion must be full of some kind of fear, and it may leave a psychological shadow on the people here in the future, but at this moment, I can't care so much, and God will forgive me for wanting to rescue those children.
Thinking like this, I lifted the hat of the black cloak that had been covering my head, and on the late autumn night, an inexplicable cold wind blew, and I walked towards the high platform step by step.
The man in black who let out a strange roar similar to a corpse just now kept looking at me, watching me walk step by step towards the high platform, without any words or movements, like a wooden man, but several other men in black nervously gathered around him.
He seemed to be very calm, and he didn't make the slightest movement for me to suppress everyone's affairs in an instant, and from his cold breath, I couldn't feel the slightest concern about this matter but as if he was quietly waiting for me to send it to the door.
My mood was a little chaotic, looking at the 'terrifying' sacrifices on the high platform, the fire light dancing in the brazier, I felt more and more that the high platform was a terrifying place, and I couldn't help but start thinking crankily in my heart
"Corpse roar is a puzzle that the Taoist family can't solve to this day." In the bamboo forest in my memory, the master was holding a book describing all kinds of demons and monsters, and was explaining it to me when I was young.
"Why is it a puzzle that can't be solved?"
"Because zombies themselves are soulless, there are even very few zombies who don't even have a soul because of some kind of mutation, and they can raise corpses alone. But once they are corpses, and then active for a certain time, they are contaminated with human blood and become truly formed zombies, their roar has a strong suppressive effect on human beings, and a formed zombie, even if it roars in the deep mountains and old forests, if it is heard by people within a radius of ten miles, it will also arouse the deepest fear in the heart. You know? Fear is a great harm to the soul, just like a person is suddenly frightened, the consequences will vary depending on the degree of fear, and even threaten life. The soul fears fear. But only the soul can have an effect on the soul, how can a zombie make such a corpse roar? It's hard to understand."
"Ah, Master, is the corpse roaring so powerful? Then I will meet the zombie corpse roar in the future, is it not to be roared to death? ”
"Be in awe, and naturally have no fear in your heart. Even if you are not a Daoist and do not have a soul defense method, ordinary people will not be affected if they do this. ”
"What do you mean? Master? ”
"A person who always has reverence in his heart, who is frank in heaven and earth in his words and deeds, and who does not live up to all things, who is blessed by God, what is there to fear? Stinky boy, go to the bath It seems that you only know how to copy the Tao Te Ching stupidly, and you don't understand the deep meaning at all, wait a minute, after taking a bath, copy it a hundred times for Lao Tzu. ”
"Stinky old man, I'm definitely not going to do it"
Memories in the cold wind of late autumn, before reaching the high platform, the warmth of memories suddenly eliminated my fear, making the corners of my mouth unconsciously flash a smile, and I didn't even notice that at this time, an old and weak hand grabbed me.
"Don't go up." I turned my head and saw that it was not the frail old man. The success of the magic just now made a group of more than a dozen old people finally get rid of those ordinary people, I didn't expect him to stop me at this time, and I seem to have heard someone call him Old Man Liu.
"Why? Isn't it to save the child? "My eyes were full of surprise, didn't he come to stop these people from doing anything to the child?
We didn't notice that there was something peculiar about our conversation, I didn't ask who he was, he didn't ask me who I was, it was just a familiar conversation, all because we had the same goal in mind at this moment.
"Liu Jiwang, I advise you not to interfere, he is my sacrifice, this sacrifice is very interesting, ten years ago, such a sacrifice appeared once, it is very satisfying, do you want to destroy? Do you think that all your protections will make you presumptuous enough to destroy such a sacrifice? "I didn't expect that my brief conversation with the old man would actually touch this middle-aged man who had been very silent, he actually walked a few steps forward, walked to the edge of the high platform, and looked at me and this frail old man condescendingly, unlike others, this man in black was not only wearing a cloak, but also wearing a mask on his face, but what he said was full of all kinds of information, I had fallen into thought, and did not pay much attention to the mask on his face.
Sacrifice, satisfied, ten years ago I remembered the old man who rented us a room, and some of the things he said were not that no one had ever been here!
"Wei Donglai, I have to stop it even if I pay all the price today, what are you going to do?" As I pondered, the frail old man suddenly burst out with a strong momentum, and although his body was still so weak, his eyes were full of a certain firmness, so strong that he was like a rock that stood still.
But I was already dumbfounded, two questions exploded in my heart, the first was the terrifying Wei Donglai? Wei Donglai!! If I remember correctly, in the story that Old Man Ge told us, he was a dead man!! He obviously died at the door of the broken house that night, and his second question is why this old man Liu, who I don't know, would be so tough to protect me? Don't let me be a sacrifice?
My throat was dry in this town, and I thought I was close to the truth, but in fact I found myself in the dark.
"Hmph, of course, I can't do anything, but wait a minute, the ship from the Holy Village will arrive, and I will naturally tell everything truthfully at that time. Haha" In the end, Wei Donglai laughed happily, why was he so happy when he was originally cold and emotionless? Could it be because he finally suppressed Old Man Liu?
After Wei Donglai finished saying this, Old Man Liu's face became extremely ugly, he glanced at the four crying children on the high platform with some guilt, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go." "After that, pull me and leave!
"But the child" I don't know what grievances are going on in the town, but I don't want to be swayed by these grievances, I came to save the children, so I naturally want to take them away.
The reason why I wasn't tough was that I couldn't bear to push away this weak old man who was pulling me, but how could he pull me? I told myself I had to save the baby!
"If I save you, I can't save them, even if I pay all the price, let's go" Old Man Liu's tone was full of sadness and helplessness, but I didn't understand it at all.
"Even if you are still acquainted, you have destroyed a total of 7 sacrifices over the past few decades, which is enough, but this time, do you think that you can avoid the punishment of taking away the sacrifice after paying all the price? Self-righteous even if you're a dead daddy"
"Wei Donglai!" Old Man Liu was angry all of a sudden, and the crutch stomped heavily on the ground again, at the same time, his hand trembled out, and the fist he had been holding suddenly released, and in that fist, there was a small phalange, black, exuding an evil but seductive light.
What's that? I looked at all this more and more confused, and Wei Donglai, who was invincible on the high platform, suddenly bowed his head in fear, and then knelt on the high platform.
His movements were full of awe, but he said resentfully: "Liu Jiwang, you can only rely on this to shelter you, you can only rely on this After today, you will inevitably die, you will die, you will die!" ”
It's a vicious curse, but Old Man Liu is not afraid: "People will always die, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, see through it, what is there to be afraid of?" You're wrong to threaten me with this, what's the use of! Let's go."
While talking, Mr. Liu came to pull me again and wanted to say something to me, but at this moment, from the rolling Yellow River next to me, there was suddenly a burst of drum music
"Hurry up, or it's too late!" Old Man Liu suddenly became very anxious!
