We all asked Zhou Zheng what happened last night?
But Zhou Zheng was pretty much what I expected, and he didn't know anything about what happened yesterday.He just remembered sitting by the campfire on watch, and after an hour or so, he was a little sleepy because he was alone and bored.
Fearing that he would fall asleep and delay the matter, he hurriedly stood up and patrolled around the camp.
As a result, at this moment, he suddenly found a pole standing in the grass next to it. There was still a white ribbon tied to the pole, and it was being rattled by the night wind.
I didn't see this thing when I was camping, so it aroused Zhou Zheng's curiosity. He shook his flashlight. It seemed that the thing was being held by something and was moving far away.
The grass there was as tall as a person, and because of the cover of the grass, he couldn't see what was under it.But it looks like a human figure, wearing a white dress, dazzlingly bright.
Zhou Zheng took a few steps and wanted to chase after him. As soon as he ran to the edge of the grass, he suddenly felt his head sinking, feeling like he was going to be dizzy.
And his memory came to an abrupt end here.He didn't know anything about it until he woke up in the morning.
Speaking of this, Xing Mo suddenly said: "When I was next to the pool last night, I took a flashlight in the middle of the pool, and it seemed that there was something floating on the water, which was similar to what Zhou Zheng said. It's just that I was more worried at the time. Zhou Zheng, didn't look carefully."
As soon as Zhou Zheng heard it, he asked Xing Mo: "Brother Xing, you saw it too? Then what do you think that thing... looks like?"
Xing Mo's complexion was also very bad. Hearing Zhou Zheng's question, he recalled it carefully and looked at Zhou Zheng suddenly.
Zhou Zheng and Xing Mo looked at each other, and said at the same time: "Like... Lingfan..."
Chapter 103 Abandoned Village
Lingban, also called Yinhun Banner.
In fact, it is a vertical flag that is used to attract ghosts during funerals.It is propped up with a long bamboo pole and placed next to the corpse until the deceased is buried.During the funeral, the eldest grandson or eldest son usually walks in the forefront of the funeral procession holding up the soul-inducing banner.When holding the soul-inducing banner, its pole rests against the chest, while the banner flies over the head.After the deceased is buried in the tomb, the soul-inducing banner will be inserted on the tomb until it goes away with the wind.
In many places, the spirit banner is made of three pieces of wood or bamboo, one vertically and two horizontally crossed, and a piece of cloth is hung in the middle.The birthday of the deceased is written on the left side of the cloth, the date of death is written on the right side, and the name of the deceased is written in the middle.The existence of spirit flags has a long history. There are written records: the ancients used them in front of the coffins, but today people often use bamboo to hang them out of the house.
Although the spirit banners in different places are not the same, their functions are similar.It is mainly used to lead the soul of the dead.
And Xing Mo and Zhou Zheng were in this mountain forest, and they both saw the spirit banner.
No tombs were found around, but spirit banners appeared, which made several people full of doubts and anxiety, not knowing what would happen next.
Judging from the current situation, Zhou Zheng was hit by the spirit banner, led by the spirit banner, went to the water pool, and made such a strange move.
Although Zhou Zheng, Youyou, and Xing Mo didn't believe in ghosts and gods, when this happened, they all looked very unhappy.
Having said that, Ma Di poured another glass of wine and drank it down, looking thoughtful.
I nodded and said, "Such a strange thing happened, it really is a strange thing in Fuyang Mountain."
Ma Di's face turned pale, but he shook his head after hearing what I said: "It's nothing, the next thing...is even more terrifying."
Ma Di then told me what happened next:
Although I believe in ghosts and gods, I don't know how to do it. I know there are tricks in it, but I don't have any solution.So at that time I wanted to leave Fuyang Mountain with the team.
But we came here with a topic, and after we went in, we didn't even see the shadow of the ground dragon, so we went back like this, and everyone didn't agree.
And Zhou Zheng was in good health, and after a half-day rest, he recovered again.So they suggested to continue walking into the mountains, no matter what, they had to find Dijiao, even if they took a valuable photo.
Their attitude was very firm, and I had no choice but to obey them.Thinking about it now, I should have insisted on leaving the mountain.
We left the original camp and continued to go into the mountains.After walking not far, they found an abandoned village.The village was located in the mountains, full of devastation, broken walls and ruins, it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.
The map in our hands is a sketch, and there is no information identifying the village on it.The village looked weird from the outside, and we didn't want to enter the village.But I checked the map and compared the coordinates, and it turned out that there is a very high probability that it is the range of activities of the Earth Flood Dragon.
Just when we were hesitant and lowered our heads to study the map, Wen Youyou suddenly let out a cry.We were startled and didn't know what was going on.
Zhou Zheng pointed to the village and said, "There...someone, I saw it."
We hurriedly looked in the direction of Zhou Zheng's finger, but we didn't see anything.
Wen Youyou asked: "Zhou Zheng, did you read it wrong? This village has long been abandoned, so how can there be people?"
Hearing that everyone said they didn't see it, Zhou Zheng seemed very anxious. He explained that there was a figure behind the broken wall just now.And ran into the village first, trying to find that person to prove it to us.
Fearing that something might happen to Zhou Zheng, we hurriedly followed him.And it was almost dark at that time, and we didn't find the figure that Zhou Zheng mentioned after we went in.
It was cloudy and windy, and it might rain.We don't have a place to camp, so we are going to find a decent house in the village to hide from the rain and spend the night.
When we walked into the village, I had a bad feeling.It just feels like there is a pair or pairs of eyes staring at us in this village.
The four of us are like prey in a circle, ready to be killed at any time.
Walking into the village, there are many broken stones and abandoned wood under the feet, and there is only one path that can only be passed by one person.
The four of us formed a team and walked slowly into the village.
By this time we had given up the idea of camping in the village, because there was hardly a single good house in the village.It looked like it had been bombed, and it was dilapidated.In such a house, there is no shelter from the rain at all.
We walked along that path aimlessly. At that time, Xing Mo was the first to walk, me was the second, Wen Youyou was the third, and Zhou Zheng was the last one.
For self-defense, Xing Mo is carrying a steel trekking pole, I am holding an anesthesia gun, Wen Youyou and Zhou Zheng are both carrying daggers for self-defense.Perhaps feeling the tense atmosphere, we all took out our weapons at the same time.
Each of us held a flashlight and walked slowly through the village.
But as I walked, I suddenly felt something was wrong.I walked in the second place, keeping a little distance from Xing Mo in front.So I could clearly hear the breathing and footsteps of Wen Youyou and Zhou Zheng behind me.
At the beginning, their breathing was still heavy and their footsteps were chaotic.
But as I walked, the footsteps behind me became more regular.What does this mean?
The footsteps of two people will definitely not be consistent due to the pace and frequency, so they will appear chaotic.Then it suddenly becomes regular, which means that there is only one person's footsteps.
Feeling this, I paid special attention.I could clearly hear the breathing of two people.Two people are there, why is there only one person's footsteps?
Thinking of Zhou Zheng's weirdness by the pool before, my heart trembled.
So as I was walking, I turned around suddenly, and the flashlight in my hand shone behind me.
I really saw a very strange scene.
Walking behind is Lin Youyou.Everything was normal for her, and she was shocked when she saw my flashlight.
And Zhou Zheng, at this time, was lying on Lin Youyou's body.
Zhou Zheng's head was resting on Lin Youyou's right shoulder, and his body was wrapped around Lin Youyou's body.Under the light of the flashlight, Zhou Zheng's face was very pale, as white as a piece of white paper, his pale face, those eyes were staring at me firmly, the corners of his mouth were turned up stiffly, revealing a sly smile.
No wonder I only heard the footsteps of one person.It turned out that Lin Youyou was actually walking behind Zhou Zheng's back.
But Lin Youyou, a girl, didn't feel any difficulty and walked freely, as if she didn't know about it.
Seeing me turn around suddenly, Lin Youyou also stopped in fright, and looked at me blankly.
At this moment, I noticed that my flashlight shone on them, and shadows appeared on the ground.
But that shadow only had Lin Youyou, but not Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng has a problem!
Realizing this, I didn't dare to hesitate, raised my hand, and shot at Zhou Zheng's head on Lin Youyou's shoulder.
With a bang, Zhou Zheng groaned and fell from Lin Youyou's shoulder to the ground.
Lin Youyou was also taken aback. She didn't know who I shot at, so she turned around to look.
Zhou Zheng covered his head and asked me in surprise: "Teacher, why did you shoot at me? Luckily you missed."
I rushed over and shone a flashlight on Zhou Zheng, only to find that he was in normal condition now, and the shadow under him was clearly discernible.
Chapter 104 One more person
Since we entered the deep mountains, there were too many unknowns, so the anesthesia gun I brought had the maximum dose of anesthesia.But this kind of tranquilizer gun is used to beat wild animals, not people.I was in a hurry just now, and I violated the rules.
And it's okay if the gun hits the body, but I don't know what will happen if it hits the head.
When I saw that Zhou Zheng was intact, I was sweating because of my impulse just now.I also wondered if what I saw just now was an illusion?
Wen Youyou was also quite frightened. Seeing that Zhou Zheng was fine, she turned around and asked me: "Teacher, what's wrong with you? Why did you shoot Zhou Zheng?"
Xing Mo in front also turned back when he heard the movement, not knowing what happened, so he froze on the spot.
"Zhou Zheng just now..." I regained my strength, pointed at Zhou Zheng and wanted to tell what I saw just now.
Unexpectedly, before I finished speaking, Zhou Zheng suddenly changed his expression, pointed at me and shouted hysterically: "There is something wrong with the teacher, the teacher is bewitched, everyone be careful."
Wen Youyou and Xing Mo were also taken aback by Zhou Zheng's words, they subconsciously hid aside and stared at me vigilantly.
I smiled wryly in my heart, obviously something was wrong with Zhou Zheng just now, why did he point out me instead?
I hurriedly defended: "Just now I saw Zhou lying on Yoyo's body, and he had no shadow. I found something wrong with him, so I shot him. Why don't you believe me?"
When Xing Mo and Wen Youyou heard it, they couldn't tell the truth from the fake, so they looked at Zhou Zheng warily again.
Zhou Zheng sneered: "Teacher, have you become confused after entering the mountain? Look at me, how can there be something strange? Is it a decent way to make up nonsense, and I am still lying on Yoyo? I am so big, she can recite it well." Are you moving? Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Youyou nodded and said, "Teacher, are you delusional? I didn't feel that I was carrying someone behind my back?"
In fact, based on the situation at the time, it is not difficult to see that Zhou had a problem.Because Zhou Zheng respects me very much and admires me very much.He originally studied other subjects as an undergraduate, and he applied for my major as a graduate student just to follow me.Even if I did something, he wouldn't talk to me like that.
But at that time, everyone was so nervous that they didn't have time to analyze Zhou Zheng's tone and words.
Zhou Zheng pointed at me again and shouted: "The teacher is controlled by the ghost now, he is possessed by an evil spirit, if we knock him out, the ghost will come out."
At this moment, Wen Youyou came to his senses, and shouted at Zhou Zheng: "Zhou Zheng, what are you talking about? How do you talk to the teacher? Don't you not believe in these things? What the hell, God, it's simply inexplicable."
After being told by Zhou Zheng, I couldn't help but take a look. There was a shadow under my feet under the moonlight.
Recently, everyone has been a little paranoid, almost neurotic.
Xing Mo, who stood silently by the side, said at this time: "Everyone, stop being suspicious of each other. I think we are all scaring ourselves. We are all here, and no one can do anything in front of others. I suggested Let’s leave tonight, let’s go out of Fuyang Mountain tomorrow.”
In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, we decided to follow Xing Mo's advice and rest on the spot until dawn.
In the abandoned village, we found a leeward broken wall and lit a fire.We were not in the mood to set up a tent anymore, so we leaned against the wall, rested on our luggage, and rested staggeringly.
But I know that everyone is not sleepy. After experiencing the unpleasantness just now, I can't arrange another night watch.It's just that Xing Mo volunteered to let everyone rest. He came to watch the bonfire, but he was actually monitoring everyone.
Zhou Zheng and Wen Youyou leaned against the fire, while I leaned against the broken wall and watched Zhou Zheng secretly.
I found that Zhou Zheng should have returned to normal at this time, and he joked with Wen Youyou from time to time, making Wen Youyou giggle.
I rubbed my temples, could it be that I was really bewitched?Or hallucinations?
Except for Zhou Zheng and Wen Youyou whispering a few words from time to time, Xing Mo and I didn't speak.The only sound was the creaking of burning wood in the fire.
The humidity in the mountains is too heavy, and the fire has warmed my body a lot, and I can't help but feel sleepy leaning against the wall.
I don't know how long it took, but it seemed that some raindrops fell on my face.I opened my eyes and found that the fire we lit was about to go out.And the sky began to drizzle.
A few of them hadn't woken up yet, and they were snoring lightly one after another.
But at this moment, I suddenly discovered a problem.
There were four of us, and there were three of them besides me.At this time, the sky was overcast and there was no moon in the sky.
But with the residual firelight, I found that there were four people lying under the broken wall.
I was jolted up a bit, and after a few cold wars, I lost all sleepiness.
I sat up gently, lest I might make a mistake, I rubbed my eyes and took a closer look.
Sure enough, Xing Mo is lying next to me, I can see clearly.
It turned out that Zhou Zheng and Wen Youyou were resting at the far end of me, but at this moment, three people appeared there.Since they were all wearing the marching blankets we brought, it was impossible to tell who the extra person was from the outside.
I stabilized my mind, and didn't dare to act rashly, lest I would startle another person and kill him.
I filled the anesthesia gun with anesthesia bombs, held it in my hand, stood up slowly, and walked towards the three of them.
The ground is full of weeds and gravel, and there are many broken branches. The footsteps I walked over were not small, and many dry branches were broken.But the three of them are still motionless, which makes me have an ominous premonition, could it be that they have...
I didn't dare to think too much, and stopped when I got close to them.
They both covered their faces with blankets.
"Zhou Zheng... Yoyo..."
I yelled twice in a low voice.Neither Zhou Zheng nor Yoyo responded to me.
I swallowed, and slowly approached with the gun raised, trying to lift the blanket off their faces to identify them.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, I suddenly felt my head sink, my eyes went dark, and my body fell down.
The moment I lost consciousness, I saw Xing Mo standing behind me.
Having said this in one breath, Ma Di heaved a sigh of relief, and subconsciously touched his neck.
I hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with Xing Mo?"
