crossing yin and yang

A familiar smell of incense rushed into his nostrils, Wei Yang opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and found himself in the room with burning incense candles again, the beams of the room were still so high, and the hanging man was winding like a long snake, The wooden signs displayed on the incense table are densely packed, with a daunting solemnity, the flickering candles and mottled time, the whole room reveals a strange silence.

Outside the door, the noise sounded again, and the pair of little hands pushed open the half-covered door again, stepped over the high threshold, and ran forward along the veranda stumbling.However, unlike the last time, although his body was running, Wei Yang felt a strange sense of detachment, like the separation of consciousness and body when he was half asleep and half awake, knowing that he was experiencing but unable to control it, fresh and helpless , like a ghost that has been separated from the body.

With such a strange sense of detachment, he watched himself leave the ancestral hall, walk through the corridor, and ran to the small courtyard again.There were still those men standing in the yard, and the naked woman with her black hair hanging loose was firmly pressed to the ground, but Wei Yang suddenly realized that he could clearly hear what those noisy words were saying. The whispers and shouts of the people in the courtyard.

"Jiang Po, Er Niu was stalked by a bug, and she has been mad for seven or eight days, please save her!"

"It's all because he's a bad man. Everyone else has said it, but he still insists on killing that nest of worms! The big ones are as thick as wrists, so they must be fine..."

"Don't tell me, their family has been recruited by evil recently. All the tigers have started to have a fever. All the hot people in our village are here. Nothing will happen again, right?"

"With Po Jiang here, I have to listen to Po Jiang. The yellow chicken and spirits are all offered, just wait for her..."

Wei Yang was a little distracted and wanted to listen more carefully, but the woman who was pressed on the ground suddenly raised her head, and the face like a basilisk was fierce. Staring at this side, there was a faint fierce light in the vertical pupil.

The scene became chaotic again. In the chaos, Wei Yang started to run again, faster and more anxious than before, his heart was pounding, he suddenly remembered what should happen next, he would break into grandma's embroidery room , He would see things he shouldn't have seen, he wanted to control this body to stop, but the small body didn't stop, but fell to the ground with a thud.

As if watching an old video rewind, he watched himself struggling to get up, put his little hand on the door panel, and the door slid inward silently.

His heart shrank into a ball, and Wei Yang opened his eyes wide. However, this time, his eyes were not fixed on the thin and withered figure, and everything in the room rushed into his eyes.The elegant chaise longue is placed by the window, the bright red tassels hang down the bed, the low chest of drawers stands against the wall, the thread basket is filled with colorful silk threads, and a half-embroidered pattern is propped on the embroidery frame. The long silver needle reflected a little light.

In the corner, there is also a small shrine, incense candles are curling up and burning, and a cloud of blue smoke shrouds the divine table. Under the cover of candlelight and those fruit plate tributes, a wooden statue is half-hidden, that is It's a small and exquisite fox, standing upright, with a smile on its face, and a big fluffy tail wrapped around its body, like half a piece of clothing...

Wei Yang's whole body trembled. At this moment, the figure who was unhurriedly dressing up suddenly stopped and turned his head.

He saw the man's face.

Wei Yang's grandma is not ugly, on the contrary, she has always had a strong sense of beauty, Jiang Nu's identity makes her have an unattainable arrogance and aloofness, years have treated this beauty kindly, in Wei Yang's memory In the novel, his grandmother has always been a noble and elegant old lady, with elaborate makeup and perfect posture.

However, the face in front of him was not the one he remembered, it was a pale and distorted face, it was no longer like a human face, but like a fox covered with human skin, the corners of the eyes were slanted up, and the eyes were shining with a faint light, There were drops of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth with a smirk, as if he had just probed into the sea bowl in front of him and sucked hot blood.

In front of her were several powder boxes with the lids removed, and a shudder ran across Wei Yang's back. He could almost imagine how such a monster would dress up and hide its fox face under the powder...

This monster is his grandma?

With a light body, a big hand suddenly hugged him, helping him to block the vision in front of him.In the darkness, a familiar breath lingered in his ears, and someone whispered to him: "Don't look at it, Yangyang, those things are not what you should look at, go back to the ancestral room with grandpa, with grandpa here, we will all be safe ..."

The voice was stern but also gentle. Wei Yang's tense mind slowly relaxed, and he wanted to snuggle up to his grandfather's arms, but suddenly there was nothing in front of him, and he fell to the ground.

Everything in front of him has changed, from day to night, the wind is howling outside the window, and the branches are flapping on the porch, as if some ghost is knocking outside the door, trying to break in.Wei Yang struggled violently, but instead of getting up, his small body involuntarily rolled into a ball, trying to hide himself under the table, the room was dark with no lights on, only a few white lines Moonlight shone in through the crack of the door.

Someone was arguing in the distance, loudly.

"Jiang Lan! That's your grandson, let Hu Gu go! Hurry up and drive it away!"

"Do you think I don't want to? Do you think I don't want to! Immortal Empress, didn't you say that the child is harmful to the family? I am the enshrinement of this generation! I am the enshrinement!"

"Get out of the way! Yangyang, hide, don't come out!"

"Hahahahaha, he killed the second child's family, is he coming to kill me? Wei Changfeng, why did you pick him up, why did you pick him up! He should have died! Hahaha! Immortal Empress , please, please!"

Something broke, and the crisp sound echoed in the empty mansion. Wei Yang trembled even more. He hugged his knees with both hands, and an uncontrollable choked sob escaped his throat. The sound was very soft and thin, but In such a quiet big room, it was as loud as thunder. He covered his mouth with his hands like flying, trying to suppress all the voices, but it was too late...

Under the white moonlight, a dark shadow appeared, with a pointed snout, long ears, a big and fluffy tail hanging down on the ground, and its sharp claws knocked on the door. With a slight push, the door was closed. opened.Wei Yang opened his eyes wide in horror, and saw a shadow standing outside the empty porch, it was a fox, its eyes glowed green, its bright red tongue stuck out, greedily licked its sharp teeth, There was a ferocious smile on the picked kiss.

Wei Yang tried his best to shrink under the table. He was not afraid of small animals, but when he saw this fox, his body trembled involuntarily, because those eyes did not look like real animals, but instead shone fiercely with greed. , with hatred, like the eyes of a real murderer.With a grunt in his throat, he finally couldn't help it, and leaned over to escape, but the fox's movements were faster and fiercer than him, and his limbs just stretched out, like an arrow flying from the string. Come on him!

The bloody mouth was so close that he could see the sharp teeth in its mouth and the saliva on its lips clearly, but he had no time to dodge, his thin hands and feet had completely lost strength, and he couldn't even move. At this moment, his chest Suddenly something warmed up in front of him, pulsating and pulsating, warm and solid, like another heart.

White light blooms!

Wei Yang took a deep breath and woke up from the darkness. His arms, shoulder blades, chest and abdomen, every inch of his skin was aching, and his ribs seemed to be strangled by something, making him unable to breathe.The next moment, the hot thing on the chest came back again, beating and beating, steady and powerful, with vitality, it was indeed a person's heartbeat, but the two were too close, as if the two hearts were tightly bound together next to each other.

The next moment, he felt the itching around his neck. The black hair was deeply buried in the socket of his neck, and the cold and sticky skin was stuck to his shoulders, and he seemed to be trembling slightly. The trembling was too violent for people to distinguish Where did Qing come from.Wei Yang wasn't really sober, but he still stretched out his hand with great effort, wrapping around the slightly trembling shoulder.

"Brother Qi..." For some reason, his voice became hoarse again, and there was still a vague smell of blood in his mouth, but there was a familiar fragrance of grass at the end of his nose, which was the smell of the shower gel they shared.So he knew who was holding him tightly at this moment, who was protecting his life again.

Memories flow like tides.He remembered how he came to the mansion, how he opened the warehouse, and how he found the fox statue in the wooden box. He also remembered the things in his dream, the shrine in the embroidery room, and the man with the face of a fox. face, remembered the hysterical scolding in that dark night, and... the fox.

There was a pain in his chest, and a round and hard bead stuck on his ribs. It should be the bodhi bead hanging on his chest. Not long ago, he also had something hanging on his chest, a piece from Longhu Mountain , the amulet jade that emits bright white light.

Is everything in the dream real?Did that piece of jade save his life?What happened to the house fairy that was being offered?Did he really get caught just now?Why did he forget everything about that year... A lot of disturbing thoughts swirled in his head, but Wei Yang didn't say anything, he just clung to the shoulder in front of him even tighter, so tight that he couldn't breathe Come, it seems that as long as you hold him firmly, those things that bother you and torture yourself will eventually disappear.

The two hugged each other so tightly, and it took an unknown amount of time before the trembling finally stopped. Wei Yang heard a touching touch in Wei Yang's ear, and Zhang Xiuqi said softly, "Yangyang."

His voice was a bit ambiguous, but intimate and soft, as if he was calling for his most beloved lover. Wei Yang's Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed the thought back with the smell of blood. His brother Qi might not understand the meaning of "lover" The meaning, no matter how gentle, would not be that.With a wry smile on his lips, he struggled to sit up: "Brother Qi, did I have a problem just now?"

It wasn't until this moment that Wei Yang realized that he was in a state of embarrassment. There was a big cut on his arm. The blood seemed to have just congealed. Dust spread all over his body. He didn't know how many times he had rolled on the ground. There was still a burn on his hand, which was burning , has begun to seep out.And the room he was in was no longer the small and crowded warehouse. Instead, it had become the embroidery room that he least wanted to enter. However, there were no old furniture and hazy shrines in the room, only a floor of sawdust, almost A copper plate, a scene of fierce battle.

Zhang Xiuqi seemed to have regained his composure, and slowly let go of the person in his arms. His appearance was not much better than Wei Yang's. His shoulder blades were cut by a long bloody mouth, and there were several claw marks on his arms. His eyes were bloodshot, and even the corners of his mouth There was a little blood on them, but he didn't care about his embarrassment, he just answered, "Possessed, by a fox."

The answer did not surprise Wei Yang, but he still froze for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhang Xiuqi's chin, and gently wiped the blood oozing from his lips with his fingertips: "Your tongue...you use your real tongue... Saliva?"

The wound was simply impossible to ignore, like a red flower petal bloomed on the tip of the pink tongue, the little Tianshi's articulation was no longer articulate, and there was a kind of ambiguity that would only be caused by an injured tongue.Wei Yang knew the purpose of real saliva, but he also knew that unless it was a critical moment, this method would not be easily used.Has the situation just now reached a critical moment?

Zhang Xiuqi also stretched out his fingers, and gently touched Wei Yang's bright red lips: "The sword will hurt you, but the essence and blood will not."

His heart thumped, and Wei Yang tightened his lips, which means... Could it be that the bloody smell in his mouth came from Brother Qi's real saliva?The finger touching his lips was cold, and the pulp of his finger seemed to be covered with a layer of rough calluses. It was just a finger, but it seemed that he wanted to gather all his senses on it. Wei Yang took a light breath and grabbed it with his backhand. Holding the hand, he struggled to stand up from the ground.

"I picked up a wood carving just now, that's why this happened. Brother Qi, let's go back to the warehouse and have a look." Without any explanation, he pulled Zhang Xiuqi up and walked out the door as if fleeing.
