Chapter 8 I'm Going

Xuan Xia kept holding up the phone and glanced at the pond out of the corner of his eye.

Unfortunately, a bubble is too insignificant for such a large pond.

But if a few more pop up, it will be different.

One "Gulu", two "Gulu", three "Gulu"...

The pond was like boiling water, or like a pool of reagents that had reacted chemically, and bubbles began to bubble up.

At the same time, Xuan Xia discovered that the sky had also changed. Originally, the setting sun on the horizon cast a light orange hue, but as the water in the pool rolled, the setting sun in the sky seemed to be boiled, and it truly turned into "the setting sun is like blood." ".

The grunting sound was noisy, as if it would explode in the next second.Xuan Xia's reaction was to retreat and stay away from the pond.

He took about ten steps back until his heel touched a hard object.

Xuan Xia looked back and found that blocking her retreat was a toppled stone statue.

It was a human statue, but the carving was not very detailed. It was a bit like the carving technique of the Han Dynasty.

The width of the statue reached to the crook of her knees, and a pair of eyes were like lines, in the shape of smiling eyes. But the more Xuan Xia looked at it, the more she felt that those eyes seemed to be looking back at her.

At this point, I don't know how many people will be scared crazy. Xuan Xia is not a courageous person. If you say she is afraid, she is indeed afraid, but besides pure fear, there are other things in her mind.

For example, there are stories about strange powers and chaos in her great-grandfather’s notes.For another example, strange powers and chaos are mostly accompanied by harm to people.

But the problem is that she doesn't want to be killed!
It was enough to experience death over and over again in her dreams. Finally, she did not follow the plot of the dream and made adjustments. The future must be beautiful.

Now, if something jumps out and says to her, "Take your life from me," Xuan Xia thinks that it is nothing compared to that thing.

One thing goes up and another goes down. After having this awareness, the fear of fear has been reduced to insignificance.

With his mind settled, Xuan Xia suddenly discovered that the pond that had just been a demon was no longer churning and bubbling, and had returned to its calm appearance at the beginning.

It was as if everything just now was an illusion.

But speaking of hallucinations, Xuan Xia felt a cool breeze on the back of his neck.

It's like someone is blowing on the back of your neck deliberately, but the difference is that this breath is so cold that it makes the hairs stand on end.

Xuan Xia clenched his fists.

It was probably because Xuan Xia didn't do anything. After a few seconds, another cool breeze came.

This time, the wind was not only blowing on the back of her neck, but the cool cold wind also poured into her ears, making her ears itch and her heart became frizzy.

Xuan Xiaxin said, is this challenging my bottom line?

At the same time, a mantra came to mind in her mind, "Knowing the truth is clear, the Tao is in all directions, the Tao shines in all directions, and is omnipotent." That was the passage that appeared most often in her great-grandfather's notes, at least in the few articles she read. have.

According to the explanation in her great-grandfather's notes, this is a formula for dispelling hallucinations and can also make people clear their minds.

At this time, the scene was so weird that Xuan Xia couldn't care less whether her great-great-grandfather's notes contained novels or photos, so he just muttered along.

Unexpectedly, this formula seems to be really useful.

The coolness on the back of my neck disappeared without a trace, and there was no longer any wind. Even the blood-red setting sun in the sky became somewhat normal.

But after a few seconds, the calm pond rippled again.

As ripples appeared, someone suddenly spoke in a babbling voice in the empty scene.

"The gods are the most ruthless..."

"You are so ruthless..."

"I was expecting you to come, but you came to teach me how to give up..."

Every sentence echoed in Xuan Xia's ears, like a 360° stereo surround sound.At the end of the play, there was a "crash" sound, the water surface broke open, and a figure jumped out of the water.

Xuan Xia had already expected that something might come out of the pond, but when someone actually jumped out, he couldn't help being startled.

Fortunately, she held it back and didn't scream. Apart from raising her eyebrows, her expression was relatively calm.

Judging from her body shape and clothing, the person who came out of the water was a woman.Wearing a plain white traditional dress, her hair was loose.

Because he lowered his head, he couldn't see his facial features clearly.

The woman first came out of the water in a weird posture, and then rose straight up step by step as if hanging from a wire. She didn't stop until she was about an adult's height away from the surface of the pond.

Then the disheveled woman suddenly raised her head, her dark eyes staring straight at Xuan Xia.

Xuan Xia took a deep breath. This man had no whites of his eyes!But in her mind, she was thinking inappropriately: What nonsense, how could she not have even a drop of duckweed on her body.

While he was driving away at such an untimely moment, the woman spoke.

"It's not him. Was he the one who called you to see me? Why didn't he come?" The voice sounded like weeping, but fortunately it wasn't a dramatic tone.

Xuan Xia didn't want to ask or know "who he is," so he just said, "Then I'll go."

If it weren't for the fallen stone statue blocking the way behind her, she would really have walked.

woman:"……"

A second passed.

The woman's sleeves flicked, creating a wave of sleeves in mid-air, and the drama that had just been interrupted resumed.

"You taught me to respect the gods, but the gods are ruthless and want you and me to be separated forever..."

"I only saw the high platform with the gods sitting on it, but I didn't see you..."

"..."

The babbling tone was high or low, but fortunately Xuan Xia understood what was going on.

In a nutshell, this woman had an easy time with a man. Later, the man left to serve the gods and broke up with her, but she couldn't let go. She waited for the man to come back every day. Maybe she even went to find him, but she couldn't wait. , and can't see it, the resentment will grow day by day and night by night. I don't hate men and hate gods.

The matter was understood, but Xuan Xia didn't understand why she appeared here.

Is she related to this woman, or man?Or he was simply unlucky and got caught.

When choosing between these three options, she couldn't help but think of her great-grandfather.

Doesn’t becoming a Taoist priest fit the situation of this woman’s story?
But when I thought about it again, it felt wrong.It is said that her great-great-grandfather only became a Taoist priest after her great-grandmother passed away, so there could be no separation or a date for the man to return.

After figuring this out, Xuan Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the woman again, Xuan Xia thought about what to do.Otherwise, look through the notebooks she brought out to see if there are similar situations and formulas that can be used.Just like what I said just now.

Thinking of the effect of the sentence just now, Xuan Xia subconsciously read it again: "Knowledge is always known as Ming. The Tao is in all directions, and the Tao shines in all directions. It is everywhere."

At the same time, another voice sounded along with her words: "It is obvious that it exists, but it is not there, and the evil dissipates."

Xuan Xia subconsciously looked over, following the sound, and saw that the stone statue that originally blocked her path was gone, and the path she came from reappeared, and there was an additional person in a wheelchair.

Seeing the person in the wheelchair, Xuan Xia felt lighter instantly.

Although I'm not familiar with him, I know him at least.

Finally she didn't have to face that woman alone.
