father snake

The dense woods stood quietly in the darkness, and the passing light and shadow interlaced, making it more and more invisible, full of ghosts and ghosts.

On such a gloomy night, facing enemies who do not know where they will come from, immediately makes people feel a sense of crisis. Shi Xiaochuan pushed himself behind, and he stood there with ease.

Xiaobai crawled on Shi Xiaochuan's shoulder. In the darkness, he could hear the slight "hissing" sound of its snake letters. It should have been a terrifying sound, but Shi Xiaochuan felt a sense of peace of mind. .

He stretched out his fingers to touch Xiaobai's cold and smooth slender body, holding a wooden stick made of a broken thick branch in front of his chest, no matter what strange thing came, in short, he would not Let yourself catch them without a fight, if you want to catch them, then come and see who wins.

That thing didn't attack immediately, but kept wandering around, making you tense all the time, but how could you not find the opponent's hiding place, draining your energy, looking for the right time, this plan is not Not bad, but Tianqiu is by no means a passive waiter.

He turned his head, looked at Xiao Bai, hooked his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Come here."

Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, flinched, then jumped up and landed on Tianqiu's arm. Tianqiu picked up its tail and lifted it upside down, "Follow me." He looked at Shi Xiaochuan , said softly, "Just don't get too far away. I have to find it out." Shi Xiaochuan nodded.

Tianqiu searched in the dark dense forest at an extremely fast speed. At first, Shi Xiaochuan could barely find his direction, and followed slowly. After a few minutes, he had completely lost Tianqiu's trace. He wanted to After thinking about it, he hugged a tree next to him and climbed up with two or three strokes.

Trees are always safer than the ground.

Climbing to the top of the tree, the wind picked up, the branches were shaken by the wind, and the rustling sound could be heard incessantly. In this already dangerous cold night, it seemed even more creepy.

Shi Xiaochuan breathed smoothly, listened carefully to the sounds around him with sharp ears, trying to distinguish the part that might be from Tianqiu from the messy sounds, but for a while he didn't hear anything, I feel that all the sounds around me are the natural ones in the woods, and there are no unexpected syllables.

He grasped the rough tree trunk, and felt pain in the palm of his hand, probably because he scratched the skin when he climbed the tree just now. The pain kept Shi Xiaochuan's head dizzy from the wind to keep him awake. He finally heard something similar to a fight. , came from the front left, Shi Xiaochuan wondered if he should climb down the tree and look for it in that direction.

In the end, he still couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart, and decided that even if he couldn't help, he would go to the side and watch, maybe he could do something by looking at the opportunity. He climbed down the tree, and groped his hand to put it against the tree. The stick that was used as a weapon.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the clouds covering the moon moved away at some point. The dim moonlight brought more light to the eyes that had adapted to the darkness. Shi Xiaochuan took the wooden stick to find the right direction and walked there go.

Suddenly, a slight "click" sounded around him, and Shi Xiaochuan, who was about to be in danger, immediately raised the wooden stick in his hand and stared at that direction.There slowly came out a black shadow.

Shi Xiaochuan looked over and felt that the shadow was somewhat familiar.

When the figure came out from the darkness and could see clearly, Shi Xiaochuan realized that his feeling was right, it was Lu Qingyun.

Usually when they are at school, they just pass each other in the corridor. They are familiar with each other and know that they are from the school, but they don’t know their names. If it wasn’t for the incident in Boya Middle School, Lu Qingyun Suddenly appeared in that underground space, Shi Xiaochuan estimated that he will not have any intersection with him until now, but even if the relationship is a little closer than before, it is just a nod to say hello, and even talk Didn't say that either.

Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Shi Xiaochuan's originally nervous mood relaxed a little.

But when I turned my head and thought about it, this Lu Qingyun was not a simple character either. Last time he suddenly appeared in that mysterious underground space, and now he suddenly appeared in this dangerous night. Wherever it was strange, he would burrow wherever he wanted. Although there was no confrontation between Shi Xiaochuan and him, it may not be a coincidence that they appear so frequently in places they shouldn't be.

Lu Qingyun still looked weak and gentle, looked at Shi Xiaochuan, adjusted his glasses, and said in an unhurried, protracted voice, "I advise you to put that stick down, I will I don't want to have any conflict with you, I came here because of the task assigned by the master, not to catch demons and subdue demons."

Shi Xiaochuan was stupefied by his words, what does it mean to catch demons and subdue demons?Is it what I thought?What the half of the classmate said actually meant that he had something to do with the monster?

He thought about it, but he still didn't put down the wooden stick in his hand, but he still relaxed a little instinctively, the Lu Qingyun in front of him didn't give him the feeling of approaching danger.

Lu Qingyun frowned, a bit of disgust appeared on his fair and upright face, "I never thought that people in the Taoist sect would have such collusion with monsters."

Shi Xiaochuan remembered what Tianqiu said, "Lu Qingyun, are you a Taoist priest?" He asked curiously.

Lu Qingyun adjusted his glasses, "I am a disciple of the orthodox Laoshan sect of Taoism, and I went to Lingshan Town Middle School to study in order to facilitate the investigation of those strange things that happened in Lingshan Town." Strange things? "Shi Xiaochuan murmured and repeated, yes, Lingshan Town is not to blame, what is to blame?

Over the years, countless people have died due to various accidents. In the past, it was the Shi family or the daughter-in-law who married into the Shi family who died inexplicably. Aunt Ping, who works in the museum, either disappeared or died in a strange way. If someone is interested in making an analysis and comparison graph, I am afraid that there is something wrong with it.

It has only been noticed now, which shows that some people in Lingshan Town have some tricks to cover up these things tightly.

"The middle-aged woman who disappeared in the library is a distant relative of my mother. After my mother told me about it, she also told me some rumors about your Lingshan Town. I felt something was wrong. The teacher asked us to go out to practice more, so I chose this place. As soon as I arrived in Lingshan Town, I felt that something was wrong. First, the evil spirit in the library was obvious. I thought it was the spider that was causing trouble. Thinking about it, I found out another 'Sanqing faction' after following the vine, and that's fine, I actually found out that the 'Sanqing faction' was in collusion with that spider." Lu Qingyun fired at each other He told Shi Xiaochuan what he had done without hiding anything.

Some of these things are known to Shi Xiaochuan, and some things he does not know at all.

"I know about that spider, but what does that spider have to do with Lingshan Town?" Shi Xiaochuan asked wonderingly.

"Hmph, the people in Lingshan Town are just sacrifices and food. Every few years, a few lives will be sent to that spider, but what's more frightening is that I think the headmaster of the 'Sanqing Sect' is also It’s very problematic, and he probably has something to do with the death of so many people in Lingshan Town.” Lu Qingyun said thoughtfully, “There are some crooked ways in this world, which can prolong life by sucking people’s energy, although they will become ugly later on. Humans and ghosts are not ghosts, they still live in this world, I saw that psychic from a distance, and I thought he—probably hadn’t been human long ago.”

Shi Xiaochuan had no objection to this inference, "Could it be that the Shi family members in Lingshan Town were all—"

Lu Qingyun sneered, "There is no such simple thing, the Shi family is not innocent, I told my master about it, and my master did the math, the ancestors of the Shi family met the 'San Qing Dao' 300 years ago People', that is, the person who is now aliased as 'Spiritual Son', made an oath to use the blood of some of his descendants in exchange for the prosperity and wealth of the entire family."

Shi Xiaochuan was startled when he heard these words, and looked at Lu Qingyun in disbelief, "No way, wouldn't it be so crazy? This is their descendant!"

"Hmph, people are greedy, why can't they do it? Later, the people in power in the Shi family probably couldn't bear to attack their own people, so they started to sacrifice other innocent people instead of their own people." Lu Qingyun said disdainfully, "I only feel sorry for the members of the Shi family who have died for hundreds of years. They probably never thought that it was their ancestors who sold them."

Shi Xiaochuan remained silent. He remembered the unshakeable family ceremony on March [-] every year. That night, the "psychic" also appeared, and he also specified a "snake". Dizzy in the ancestral hall and let him pick and choose, it's like picking a fat and strong pig out of the pigsty for slaughter.

With such a connection, the terrible things Lu Qingyun said are likely to be true.

It's just that the truth is so cruel.

Shi Xiaochuan couldn't accept it for a while. He originally thought that the Shi family was cursed, which is why they suffered such bad luck, but he didn't expect that it was his shameless ancestors who did the nasty things.

While he was still in a trance, Lu Qingyun pulled him, "We have to hurry up, that 'psychic' is here too, or we should prepare well, I'm afraid we won't see tomorrow morning It's sun."

Shi Xiaochuan cheered up and followed him, "Tianqiu—" he said, and suddenly closed his mouth again, remembering that only he knew about Tianqiu.

Lu Qingyun looked back at him, "It's that snake demon, right?"

"how do you know?"

"I figured it out, I've been with you for a long time, and that snake demon also knew that I was following, otherwise, why do you think he was so relieved to leave you alone in this woods." Lu Qingyun turned back and said a word to him, and then Shi Xiaochuan was shocked.

How many things are there that I don't know?

For a moment, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pool, where moss-covered stone walls were all within reach, and he had nowhere to put his strength, so he could only wave his hands, sinking, sinking.
