death

Chapter 10
Hearing that Mai Xiaorou said that she was difficult to deal with, I wanted to drag her and run away.

However, Mai Xiaorou shook his head and said: "My grandfather and I are both people who learn Taoism. When we encounter dirty things, we can't ignore them. This is our principle. You have also started to learn Taoism now. If you encounter dirty things in the future, What you think of should not be to run away, but to find out the truth of the matter."

I murmured in a low voice, "Just mind your own business."

Mai Xiaorou called my name very seriously: "Chen Yu!"

I responded, and she continued: "This is the responsibility of us ascetics, and you should also have this awareness, do you know?"

It's rare to see Mai Xiaorou being so serious, so I nodded quickly.

Only then did Mai Xiaorou put away her serious expression and said with a smile: "That's good!"

At this moment, two old ladies came hurriedly across from us, they were whispering as they walked, and when they came to us, one of the old ladies grabbed Mai Xiaorou's arm and said softly: "Girl, you still Get out of here quickly, two people have died here for two consecutive days."

Mai Xiaorou let out an "ah" and asked the old lady how those two people died.

The old lady said: "I drowned in the Minxin River, but there are guardrails here, and I can walk well, so how could I drown? I guess there are unclean things in the water."

At this time, the old lady next to her pulled the old lady who was speaking and said, "Okay, let's go quickly, it's gloomy and scary here."

After all, the two old ladies left, and before leaving, they also asked us to leave quickly.

Mai Xiaorou frowned involuntarily. She walked to the guardrail and looked into the river a few times: "He's already dead, so we can't just stand by and watch."

Hearing what Mai Xiaorou said, I was also curious to go to the river and hold the guardrail to look into the water. The water is black in the night, and I can't tell its depth at a glance. After watching for a while, I feel A little dizzy, always feeling that the water is shaking.

Then I saw a vortex slowly appearing on the surface of the water. The vortex seemed to have a suction force, which made me suddenly have an urge to jump into the vortex.

I gripped the guardrail tightly, and my body was already sweating.

"Snapped!"

There was a muffled sound, and suddenly I felt a slap on the back of my heart, and my brain froze instantly. Looking at the water in front of me, there was no vortex at all, and the feeling of wanting to go down disappeared all at once. I took a deep breath Take a few steps back.

Mai Xiaorou let out a "hum" at the side and said to the river, "You beast, you actually bullied my boyfriend, you really don't know how to live or die!"

After finishing speaking, Mai Xiaorou went to pinch her fingers, but she stopped after pinching twice. I asked her what was wrong, and she said: "It's not too late now, although people nearby know that there are even dead people here." The two of you have rarely left here. It is inevitable that there will be people who don’t know. Don’t come here. If you do it now, it will be too big to make people suspicious. Let’s come again after twelve o’clock in the middle of the night. Let’s go first go to eat!"

After finishing speaking, Mai Xiaorou took my arm and wanted to leave here.

I just wish for it, I don't want to face to face with some dirty things.

But after walking a few steps, I couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Rou, we're leaving like this. What if the dirty thing in the water hurts other passers-by?"

Mai Xiaorou looked back and said: "Don't worry, those few tactics just now temporarily sealed the breath on the water surface, the dirty things in the river can't smell the breath outside, so naturally they won't move around, but my formation We can only persist until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, when the yin energy is at its strongest, and things underwater will easily see through my formation, so we must come back before twelve o'clock!"

I nodded, but I was still a little reluctant.

During the meal, Mai Xiaorou didn't joke with me anymore, she looked out worriedly from time to time, I knew she was worried about the situation over there.

After eating, we went directly back to the river. Mai Xiaorou took a deep breath and then slowly closed her eyes. She seemed to be feeling something. After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "It's okay, my burst The law hasn't been broken yet."

Because of the previous lessons, I didn't dare to get too close to the guardrail, so I stood in the middle of the road and asked Mai Xiaorou: "Is the thing in the water a water ghost?"

Mai Xiaoju said: "Water ghosts are not ghosts, but a kind of monsters, and there are really ghosts under the water, not water ghosts!"

This sentence sounds a bit convoluted, but I still understand it.

Mai Xiaorou and I stayed by the river, and a lot of people passed by us all night. After eleven o'clock, the number of cars and people on the road began to decrease obviously, and our section was no longer passing by, because suddenly It became a little deserted, so I asked Mai Xiaorou when to do it.

She said: "Wait a little longer, wait for fewer people."

I thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that the yin energy is the most severe at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the ghosts are the most powerful at that time. If you choose to do it at that time, wouldn't it be more dangerous?"

After listening to me, Mai Xiaorou suddenly held the railing with one hand, lifted her hair with the other and smiled at me: "Chen Yu, have you started caring about me? Come here, I'll reward one!"

Saying that, Mai Xiaorou even blew a kiss to me.

I didn't go there, the deeper the night, the more powerful the things in the river, I didn't want to take risks, so I asked Mai Xiaorou: "Will I be a burden to you here, or I will go back and wait for you first ?”

Mai Xiaorou saw that I was afraid, so she hummed and said: "You have the heart to leave me here as a weak woman, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of, just watch from the side for a while, as I said, With me here, I won't put you in danger."

Mai Xiaorou disagreed with my leaving, so I naturally didn't dare to evacuate without authorization, so I just stood there in a daze.

After another ten minutes, still no one passed by, Mai Xiaorou suddenly squeezed a finger and said to me: "Chen Yu, take three steps to the left."

I asked Mai Xiaorou why, and she only said two words: "Do it!"

I obediently took three steps to the left, Mai Xiaorou looked at me, then at the water surface, then at the starry sky and said: "Okay, just stand there, don't mess around Move, I will use spells and cooperate with the Big Dipper to hide your aura, no matter what happens for a while, you are not allowed to move a single step, just watch quietly from the side, understand?"

Spells, hide my breath?
I subconsciously stretched out my hand to check the surrounding situation, but I couldn't find anything. Seeing that I was standing there restlessly, Mai Xiaorou let out a coquettish "hum" and said, "Chen Yu, be honest, don't make trouble, okay?"

I quickly stood my body.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, I couldn't help shivering, I couldn't help but want to sneeze, Mai Xiaorou glared at me, I covered my mouth and nose, and suppressed the sneeze, don't mention the feeling It's hard.

"Whoosh..."

The wind suddenly blew violently, with no intention of stopping at all. Just five or six meters away from me, two whirlwinds appeared. They rolled dust and several plastic bags and turned directly towards me.

When I was very young, I heard from my parents that the whirlwind was made by ghosts. If you are chased by the whirlwind, you should spit on it twice, so that you can drive it away.

When I was a child, every time I saw a whirlwind, I would take a bite, so when I saw a whirlwind approaching me, I subconsciously wanted to spit.

At the same time, I was also extremely nervous. Didn’t two people just die here? Could these two whirlwinds be the ghosts of the two people who just drowned?
When I thought so in my heart, I didn't spit out the saliva in my mouth, and the two whirlwinds didn't hit me, but passed by me, and then scattered at a distance of seven or eight meters from me. Lost.

I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Mai Xiaorou didn't move much during this period, she crawled on the side of the guardrail and stared blankly into the water, looking calm and calm. If I didn't believe in Mai Xiaorou's strength, I would have thought she was also fascinated.

Although I believed in my heart that Mai Xiaorou was fine, I still couldn't help but want to call her name, so I called out in a very small voice: "Xiaorou!"

As soon as I shouted, the whirlwind that disappeared seven or eight meters away suddenly blew again, and quickly turned back towards me.

Mai Xiaorou looked back at me, shook her head at me with a serious face, and signaled me not to move.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I chose to believe in Mai Xiaorou, she would definitely not harm me.

I could feel the two whirlwinds coming to my side, and I even felt the dust and plastic bags rolled by the whirlwind hit me.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or something deliberately made it. It landed on my face impartially, and covered my nose and mouth after being blown by the whirlwind. It took me a little out of breath.

This came too suddenly, I was not prepared to hold my breath, and after ten seconds or so I couldn't hold on anymore.

I wanted to reach out and grab the plastic bag off my face, but I was afraid of ruining Mai Xiaorou's affairs, so I tried my best to hold back the breath.

After a while, I don’t know if I was hallucinating because of the extreme lack of oxygen. I found two people standing beside me, a man and a woman. Press up, as if to suffocate me to death.

The other woman was wearing a skirt, and because of the wetness, the skirt was stuck to her body, and she could even see some flesh color at a glance.

Her hair was loose on the left and right, and the water was dripping down, and she was waving at me, trying to lure me to the river.

I felt my head getting dizzy, and then I could not only see the ghosts, but even hear their voices.

The man said: "Come on, let's die together!"

The woman said coquettishly, "Come on, come and accompany me!"

I looked towards the river with my last strength, and Mai Xiaorou was gone...
