cloudy day

Chapter 52

I didn't expect to find the clue of my life experience so soon, so I hurriedly asked what happened more than ten years ago.

The old man took a puff of cigarette, and then said to me: "I don't know why, the three earth-shattering events in Yinling Mountain all happened on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. I still clearly remember the day on the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar. , many people from other places gathered on Baiguipo. Those people dressed very specially. Some wore Taoist robes, some wore Miao people’s clothes, and some wore monk robes. I thought they were here to hunt down demons and catch ghosts, but then I gradually realized that something was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I was observing in secret. They all had an obvious smell of gunpowder among them. The next morning, I was surprised to find that many people had died! Our mountain guards can be regarded as half of the spirit world. , more or less understand the Taoism here, I can see that those people either died of poisoning, their heads were lowered, or they were poisoned... In short, their deaths are very strange." The old man stared blankly Looking at the beams of the house, recalling the past, he didn't even notice that the pipe and pot in his hand were extinguished.

I was just hearing the key point, and my heart was itchy. Seeing that the old man didn't have anything to say, he was just lost in thought. I couldn't help being a little anxious, and quickly shook his sleeves and asked: "Old man, what happened next?"

"Originally, I was as curious as you about what they were going to do next, so I kept hiding in the dark and observing, but unexpectedly at noon, my whereabouts were discovered by a Gu master with a birthmark on my face! I was afraid of him He would kill me with the invisible Gu poison, so I ran desperately until I reached the mountain temple, and then I never dared to go out again." The old man said with lingering fear.

I was a little disappointed in my heart, and I just wanted to say: "Then..."

But before I could say it, the old man interrupted me, "Don't worry, although I have been hiding in the mountain temple on the night of July [-]th, it doesn't mean I don't know anything. I saw that night Until the moon was blood-red, the other side of Baigui Slope never stopped that night, I heard the sound of killing, screams, and the sound of rolling rocks and falling trees..."

I frowned, and couldn't help but ask, "Are they killing each other? Or is it that the gate of hell is wide open and they are killing evil spirits?"

"I don't know what happened. By the next morning, everything was quiet again. I went down the mountain anxiously. Before I reached Baigui Slope, it suddenly rained in the sky. It was blood. Rain!" the old man said excitedly.

"Blood rain!" I exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, before I arrived at Baigui Slope that day, I felt that the weather had become as cold as winter! When I got there, it had become a hell on earth, with countless corpses and blood Flowing into a river, that is a scene that I will never forget in my life, and I am still awakened by the nightmare." The old man let out a long sigh of relief after speaking.

I seem to be able to imagine the bloody and terrifying scene at that time. I couldn't help but have such a picture in my mind. On top of countless corpses, lay a crying baby...

No one knew where the child came from, why it appeared there, or how he lived for three days and three nights in that environment.

But when I think about it now, maybe he was drinking human blood and eating the flesh of dead bodies...

I took a deep breath and asked the most critical question, "Old man, did you see a baby among the dead?"
