When I heard Mai Xiaorou say that she was a bit difficult to deal with, I wanted to pull her and run away.
Mai Xiaorou shook her head and said: "My grandfather and I are both Taoists. We cannot turn a blind eye when dirty things appear. This is our principle. You have begun to learn Tao now. If you encounter dirty things in the future,
The thought should not be to run away, but to find out the truth of the matter."
I murmured in a low voice: "I'm just minding my own business."
Mai Xiaorou called my name very seriously: "Chen Yu!"
I responded, and she continued: "This is the responsibility of us ascetics. You must also have this awareness, do you know?"
It's rare to see Mai Xiaorou so serious, so I quickly nodded.
Mai Xiaorou then put away her serious expression and smiled: "That's so good!"
At this time, two old ladies hurriedly walked across from us. They were whispering as they walked. When they came to us, one of the old ladies pulled Mai Xiaorou's arm and said softly: "Girl, you still have to
Get out of here quickly, two people have died here in two consecutive days."
Mai Xiaorou said "Ah" and asked the old lady how those two people died.
The old lady said: "The people drowned in the popular river. But there are guardrails here and you can walk well. How could you drown? There is probably something unclean in the water."
At this time, the old lady next to me pulled the old lady who was speaking and said, "Okay, let's leave quickly. It's so dark and scary here."
After that, the two old ladies left. Before leaving, they told us to leave quickly too.
Mai Xiaorou couldn't help but frown. She walked to the guardrail and looked into the river a few times and said, "People are already dead, so we can't just stand by and watch."
Hearing what Mai Xiaorou said, I was also curious and walked to the river and held up the guardrail to look into the water. Under the night, the water was all black. At a glance, I couldn't tell the depth at all. After looking at it for a while, I felt
I feel a little dizzy, and I always feel like the water is shaking.
Then I saw a whirlpool slowly appearing on the water surface. The whirlpool seemed to have a suction force, which made me suddenly have the urge to jump into the whirlpool.
I clutched the guardrail tightly and started to sweat.
"Snapped!"
There was a muffled sound, and I suddenly felt like I was being slapped on the back of my heart. My mind went cold for a moment. When I looked at the water in front of me, there was no whirlpool at all. The feeling of wanting to go down suddenly disappeared. I took a deep breath.
He took a few steps back.
Mai Xiaorou snorted from the side and said to the river: "You evil beast, you actually bullied my boyfriend. You really don't want to live or die!"
After saying that, Mai Xiaorou went to pinch her fingers, but she stopped again after pinching twice. I asked her what was wrong, and she said: "It's not too late at this point, although people nearby know that there are many people here."
The two of them rarely leave here anymore. It is inevitable that there will be people who don't know about it. Don't go in here. If you do it now, it will be too big and will arouse suspicion. We will come back after midnight. Let's go first.
go to eat!"
After saying that, Mai Xiaorou took my arm and wanted to leave.
I don't want it, I don't want to come face to face with something dirty.
But after walking a few steps, I couldn't help but ask: "Xiaorou, we're just leaving like this. What if the dirty things in the water harm other passers-by?"
Mai Xiaorou looked back and said: "Don't worry, those few finger tricks just now temporarily blocked the breath on the water. The dirty things in the river can't smell the people outside, so they won't move around. But my formation
We can only hold on until midnight, when the Yin Qi is at its strongest, and things underwater will easily see through my formation, so we must come back before twelve o'clock!"
I nodded, but I was still a little reluctant.
During the meal, Mai Xiaorou stopped joking with me. She looked out worriedly from time to time. I knew she was worried about the situation over there.
After dinner, we returned directly to that section of the river. Mai Xiaorou took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. She seemed to be feeling something. After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "It's okay, my array is fine."
The law has not been broken yet.”
Because of the previous lesson, I didn’t dare to get too close to the guardrail. I stood in the middle of the road and asked Mai Xiaorou: “Is the thing in the water a water ghost?”
Mai Xiaojudao: "The water ghost is not a ghost, but a kind of monster, and there is really a ghost under the water, not a water ghost!"
This sentence sounded a bit convoluted, but I still understood it.
Mai Xiaorou and I were guarding the riverside, and many people passed by us one night. After eleven o'clock, the number of cars and people on the road began to decrease obviously, and we no longer passed people in this section, because suddenly
It became a little deserted, so I asked Mai Xiaorou when she would start.
She said: "Wait a little longer until there are fewer people."
I thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that the Yin Qi is the strongest at midnight, and the ghosts are the most powerful at that time? If we choose to do it at that time, wouldn't it be more dangerous?"
After hearing what I said, Mai Xiaorou suddenly put one hand on the railing, lifted her hair with the other and smiled at me: "Chen Yu, have you started to care about me? Come here, I will reward you!"
As she said that, Mai Xiaorou blew a kiss to me.
I didn't go there. The deeper the night went, the more powerful the things in the river were. I didn't want to take risks. Thinking of this, I asked Mai Xiaorou: "Will I be a burden to you here? How about I go back and wait for you first?"
?”
When Mai Xiaorou saw that I was scared, she snorted and said, "You can't bear to leave a weak woman like me here. I'm not even afraid. What are you afraid of? Just watch from the side for a while. I said,
As long as I'm here, I won't put you in danger."
Mai Xiaorou didn't agree with me leaving, so I naturally didn't dare to evacuate without permission, so I just stood there in a daze.
After another ten minutes, no one passed by. Mai Xiaorou suddenly made a finger gesture and said to me: "Chen Yu, take three steps to the left."
I asked Mai Xiaorou why, and she only said two words: "Just do it!"
I obediently took three steps to the left. Mai Xiaorou looked at me, then at the water, then at the starry sky and said, "Okay, just stand there, don't mess around.
Move, I will use magic to hide your aura in conjunction with the position of the Big Dipper. No matter what happens for a while, you are not allowed to move a step, you can only watch quietly from the side, do you understand?"
Magic, hide my breath?
I subconsciously stretched out my hand to explore the surroundings, but couldn't touch anything. Seeing me standing there restlessly, Mai Xiaorou let out a "hum" and said coquettishly: "Chen Yu, be honest and don't cause trouble, okay?"
I quickly stood upright.
"Huhu..."
Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, and I couldn't help shivering. I couldn't help but want to sneeze. Mai Xiaorou glared at me. I covered my mouth and nose to hold back the sneeze. The feeling was incredible.
Feeling uncomfortable.
"Huhu..."
The wind suddenly blew very hard and showed no intention of stopping. Two cyclones appeared five or six meters away from me. They rolled up dust and several plastic bags and turned directly towards me.
When I was very young, I heard my parents say that whirlwinds are caused by ghosts. If you are chased by a whirlwind, you should spit on it twice to drive it away.
When I was a child, every time I saw a cyclone, I would take a few mouthfuls of water, so when I saw a cyclone approaching me, I subconsciously wanted to spit.
At the same time, I was extremely nervous. Didn’t two people just die here? Could these two whirlwinds be the ghosts of the two people who had just drowned?
When I was thinking this, I didn't spit out the saliva in my mouth, and the two whirlwinds didn't hit me. Instead, they passed by me and dispersed seven or eight meters away from me.
Lost.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Mai Xiaorou didn't move much during this period. She crawled by the guardrail and stared blankly into the water. She looked calm and calm. If I didn't believe in Mai Xiaorou's strength, I would have thought she was also fascinated.
Although I believed in my heart that Mai Xiaorou was fine, I still couldn't help but want to call her name, so I shouted in a very small voice: "Xiaorou!"
As I shouted, the whirlwind that had disappeared seven or eight meters away suddenly started blowing again, and quickly turned back towards me.
Mai Xiaorou looked back at me, shook her head at me seriously, and signaled me not to move.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I chose to believe Mai Xiaorou, she would definitely not harm me.
I could feel the two whirlwinds coming to my side, and I even felt the dust and plastic bags carried by the whirlwinds hit me.
There was a plastic bag among them. I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or something intentional. It fell right on my face, and after being blown by the whirlwind, it directly covered my mouth and nose.
This time I couldn't breathe.
This happened so suddenly that I wasn't prepared to hold my breath. After more than ten seconds, I couldn't hold on anymore.
I wanted to reach out and pull the plastic bag off my face, but I was afraid of damaging Mai Xiaorou, so I tried my best to hold in my breath.
After a while, I don’t know if I was hallucinating due to the extreme lack of oxygen, but I found two people standing next to me, a man and a woman. They were all wet. The man’s hands were pulling the plastic bag and pushing it hard into my face.
Pressing up, it seemed like he was suffocating me to death.
The other woman was wearing a skirt. Because it was soaked, the skirt stuck to her body. At a quick glance, you could even see some flesh color.
Her hair was spread around, dripping with water, and she was waving at me, trying to lead me to the river.
I felt my head getting more and more dizzy, and then I not only could see those ghosts, but I could even hear their voices.
The man said: "Come on, let's die together!"
The woman said coquettishly: "Come on, come and accompany me!"
I used my last strength to look towards the river, and Mai Xiaorou was gone... (To be continued)
