Chapter 4 Chapter 4 The Fog

It seemed that the sky was about to light up, and the darkest hour of dawn slipped silently in the bloody and tense atmosphere, revealing a gleam of light in the blue-gray sky.Although the small courtyard is still dark and gloomy, every face can be seen in the blur. There were several corpses lying on the ground, as if they were asleep.The wild wind went down the eaves, walked around in the courtyard, turned the clothes of several corpses, and then went around the eaves, and walked away in a gloomy manner, as if the souls of these dead people were still in the small courtyard Tangled and unwilling to leave for a long time.

Zhang Yaoye was helped out by She Shiyun, and when he saw Battalion Commander Shi and Zhang Ziheng staring at the corpses on the ground, he said, "What are you still doing in a daze? Let's see how to arrange these dead people." Battalion Commander Shi put his hands on the waist pole. He looked helpless, scratched his scalp, looked at Riwobuji and said, "What do you think should be done?" Riwobuji said: "I don't think it is the time to deal with this matter. We are ignoring one of the biggest problems now." "what is the problem?" "What about the people in the village? How come there is no one in the whole village?"

Riwobuji's words made Battalion Commander Shi suddenly realize, and said, "That's right! Why did I ignore this?" But Zhang Ziheng said: "You don't need to worry about this. Master Yao and I have already transferred the people in the village, and they are now hiding in the Jingwu Temple on Woniu Mountain. It's okay." Battalion Commander Shi was surprised, and said, "Why did you transfer it? Did you know in advance that these wild dogs were going to enter the village, and that a group of people would come to snatch the pile of gold you found?" Zhang Ziheng chuckled, and said, "We are not as predictable as you said. We transferred the people in the village because of the collision of Woniu Village."

"Crash? What happened?" "Zhang Zikun of Gou Ri injured a monster. We were afraid that the monster's accomplices would come for revenge, so we moved the people in the village." "Monster? What monster?" "Savage! A real savage! Tall and big, with long hair and protruding eyes, it's scary!" Master Zhang Yao said at this time. Zhang Yaoye's words immediately caught Riwobuji's attention, and he asked, "Savage? With protruding eyes?" "That's right! The eyes really protrude, as if they were about to fall out of the eye sockets. They are so shiny that they want to eat people!" Zhang Ziheng said.

Riwobuji suddenly became a little excited, and he said to Commander Shi: "Captain Shi, it seems that the Goki people in the legend are real. Are they near us and haven't gone far?" "Goki people? What Goki people?" Battalion Commander Shi asked puzzled. Riwobuji said: "This may be a bit long to say. Let's put it this way, the Geji people may be the real Shu people in the legend. In the distant ancient times, the ancestors of our Qiang people migrated nomadicly from the northwest to the southwest. When one of them When a branch moved to the beautiful highlands in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, they met the local aborigines, the Goki people. These Goki people have high noses, strong bodies, and are good at fighting. In order to settle here, the ancestors of the Qiang people, There was a fierce battle with the Goki people. However, after several battles, the Qiang people ended in failure. The ancestors of the Qiang people had already reached the point where they were ready to abandon the ground and flee. But in the end, the ancestors of our Qiang people were attacked The blessing of the god of luck. The god of luck gave enlightenment in the dreams of the ancestors of the Qiang people, so that the ancestors of the Qiang people would stick wool on their necks as a mark, use hard and sharp white stones as weapons, and then fight with the Goki people on the battlefield Therefore, the ancestors of our Qiang people won the victory under the revelation of God. Since then, we Qiang people have been able to live and work in peace and contentment in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, develop production, and multiply offspring. In order to repay God's grace, we Qiang people have symbolized it with white stones from generation to generation. The highest god, enshrining white stones in temples, hillsides, and white pagodas on the roofs of every household, worships day and night, and is extremely devout. This custom has continued to this day."

After hearing the legend from Riwobuji, Battalion Commander Shi murmured: "It seems that this matter is becoming more and more complicated. Then, what about the defeated Goki people you mentioned? They were killed in that battle. You Qiang people were wiped out without leaving a single person? You can’t do it so badly, can you? There should be one or two survivors, right?” "So this is an unsolved mystery for thousands of years. The Goki people were not driven out by the Qiang people. After the defeat, the Goki people disappeared in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River like a mystery. Where did they migrate to? people know."

"Then, are you saying that the savages Zhang Yaoye mentioned just now are the Goki people?" "It's hard to say. I just suddenly felt a certain similarity with the Goki people." "Feeling? Aren't you talking nonsense?" Battalion Commander Shi gave a disdainful laugh. Riwobuji said, "You came here, did your superiors really not assign you specific tasks?" Battalion Commander Shi said: "No! Just let me take care of those old scholars. Then you came over a few days ago and asked me to help you as much as possible. I'm still wondering! What are you up to? Why did you let Guard Cui and I assist you?"

Riwobuji smiled and said: "Since your superior didn't tell you clearly, I won't tell you more things. One day you will understand. Anyway, the further you go, the more bizarre things may be." .” "How strange is it?" "I can't say for sure. It will probably be so bizarre that neither you nor I can believe and accept it." Riwobuji's words made Battalion Commander Shi's eyes widen.Now he is also like Zhang Yaoye, he feels a little bit in the ecstasy circle. Zhang Yaoye said to Commander Shi at this time: "Comrade senior cadres, do you think we should go to Jingwu Temple now? I am really worried that something will happen to the people in the village at Jingwu Temple. It has been a few days I haven't returned to the village for several nights, so things really shouldn't be so strange."

Zhang Ziheng also looked at Commander Shi with longing eyes. Battalion Commander Shi scratched his scalp and said, "This matter has become such a mess. The corpses of these people must be collected, otherwise the wild dogs will come and tear them apart. It is not only disrespectful to the dead, but also too inhumane." gone." Master Zhang Yao said: "It's all over now, we should take care of the living first. I'm really worried about what will happen to the old and young in the village at Jingwu Temple." Battalion Commander Shi thought for a while, and said, "Well, let's see if it's okay. Let's carry the bodies of these people into the firewood room and lock them up. We'll find a way to deal with them properly when we return from Jingwu Temple."

When Master Zhang Yao heard this, he said repeatedly, "I want it, I want it." Zhang Ziheng, Cui Jingwei, Riwo Buji and others rushed to carry the corpses on the ground into the firewood room.She Shiyun supported Zhang Yaoye and stood aside, watching silently. Suddenly, Master Zhang Yao took a deep breath, looked at a place not far away, and almost exclaimed.It turned out that a giant blue and black python was over the threshold and wandering towards the courtyard. But She Shiyun whispered to Zhang Yaoye: "Godfather, don't make a fuss, it's Xiaolong. You've seen it before."

Master Zhang Yao came back to his senses, his back was still cold and his forehead was sweating, and he said: "I have seen this guy before, but I still feel guilty when I look at this cold thing." Battalion Commander Shi and Guard Cui were surprised when they saw such a huge python in a daze.Guard Cui even instinctively pulled out his pistol from his waist again, but fortunately Riwobuji stopped him immediately and explained to him and Commander Shi that the giant python was She Shiyun's pet.Battalion Commander Shi and Jingwei Cui had just settled down, but Battalion Commander Shi still didn't forget to reply: "What's not good to raise, but to raise such a vicious and scary thing." Riwobuji smiled and said, "Don't say that this thing is evil, it will come in handy at that time. All things in the world, mutual generation and mutual restraint, one thing descends another. This is the way of heaven." But Battalion Commander Shi said, "I don't care what the hell it is. Anyway, if this thing really hurts people, I have no choice but to execute it." Yuebuji laughed again and said, "Don't worry, it can't hurt people. It and Shi Yun's heart and nature are interlinked, unless...unless Shi Yun wants it to hurt people, if it doesn't get it right, it will hurt people." Hearing Riwobuji's words, Zhang Yaoye looked at She Shiyun beside him with some surprise and said, "Daughter, you really have this ability?" She Shiyun smiled and said, "Xiaolong understands my thoughts." Zhang Yaoye said unwillingly: "How can it understand your mind? Can it understand what you say or understand the gestures you make towards it?" She Shiyun said: "I communicate with Xiaolong without talking or gesticulating." "Then how do you understand what it means, and how does it understand what you mean?" She Shiyun said: "Godfather, the highest level of communication is without words and gestures, it is the heart." "Heart?" "Godfather, you won't understand. Only by immersing yourself in the lonely world can you feel the magical power of the heart." "In a lonely world?" Master Zhang Yao became more and more confused. She Shiyun said: "Godfather, don't get to the bottom of it, I can't tell you clearly. Even the teacher Jing Yuan just now couldn't explain this kind of thing to you. How should I say it? Actually, we said Words are difficult to express exactly what we want to express..." Riwobuji laughed from the side: "Shiyun, you really want to confuse your godfather. He can't understand what you mean, so don't go too far." As soon as Yuwobuji finished speaking, an extremely confident voice came from an unknown corner: "I walked around the yard for a long time, and I finally met a living person who can talk here, hehe..." This strange voice had a shocking abruptness, which surprised the people present. Master Zhang Yao and Battalion Commander Shi almost simultaneously turned to the direction where the voice came from and asked in a deep voice: "which one?" "Who?" Before the words were settled, an old man and a woman came in one after the other from the threshold that Xiaolong had just crossed. Although the sky was not yet bright at this time, Guard Cui's eyes were sharp, and he exclaimed: "Old man, are you really here?" It was Yinlu and Xiangyu who walked in. Cui Jingwei's performance confused the people on the spot even more.They didn't understand how Guard Cui knew these two uninvited guests who suddenly appeared. Yinlu smiled at Guard Cui and said, "Little brother has good eyesight, hehe... He even recognizes us by meeting." Cui Jingwei's eyes were full of astonishment at this time, he was in a cloud of fog for a moment, thinking that he was dreaming. Battalion Commander Shi also sensed that Guard Cui's expression was different, and asked, "Xiao Cui, what's going on?" Guard Cui said as if awakened: "No...it's nothing. I feel like I had an unfinished dream!" "Did you have an unfinished dream?" Battalion Commander Shi was even more confused. Guard Cui went on to say, "It's a place that Master Jingyuan took me to. It's deep in the mountains and valleys. They are the world's best people who live there!" "A deep mountain valley? An expert from the outside world? Did the old monk Jingyuan take you there? Little Cui, are you out of your mind? You didn't go anywhere?" Battalion Commander Shi was completely dazed by Cui Weiwei's words. At this moment, Riwobuji finally understood what was going on, and said with a smile: "I know what's going on, haha... Battalion Commander Shi, don't ask me. This matter will happen soon. I can’t tell you clearly. I know where the old monk Jingyuan took Xiao Cui to.” "What are you guys up to?" Battalion Commander Shi became anxious. "There is nothing famous about it. Folk secret arts belong to the feudal superstitious way." Riwobuji said. "What does this have to do with feudal superstition?" Battalion Commander Shi became more and more impatient. Riwobuji said with a mysterious smile: "It's a feudal superstition if you say it. If you don't say it, it's as if nothing happened. It's as simple as that." Seeing that Riwobuji couldn't ask any unnecessary words, Commander Shi said angrily, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I'm too busy with business, so I don't have time to chat with you about such nonsense. Xiao Cui, you'll be free later." Then report to me individually and in detail.” "Yes, Battalion Commander." Guard Cui replied, but looked at Riwobuji suspiciously.Cui Jingwei was really at a loss in his mind at this time, and he didn't know how to tell his miraculous experience to Commander Shi, and he had to convince Commander Shi that what he said was not a fairy tale. Yinlu and Xiangyu didn't feel strange to these people in the courtyard at this moment.The first thing Yin Lu notices is the small dragon that has entrenched in front of the wooden door of the firewood house like a green hill.He made a strange gesture towards the little dragon with his hand, the shape was very much like the head of a snake swimming gracefully. The strange thing is that when Yinlu made this gesture towards Xiaolong, Xiaolong, like a sensible child, raised the snake head buried in his body high, and spit out at Yinlu. A few cores.A pair of snake eyes revealed a yellow light, looking very evil. Battalion Commander Shi, Master Zhang Yao and the others suddenly felt terrified, their scalp felt cold and numb intermittently as if covered with a thick layer of frost. And Yinlu smiled and praised: "Sure enough, it is a psychic thing. Good training!" After saying that, he withdrew his hand gesture, and Xiaolong also meekly put away the raised snake head, and buried it in the entangled body inside. Only then did Yinlu say: "Why don't you see my junior brother? I came here specially to meet him." "Junior Brother, who is his Junior Brother?" Battalion Commander Shi looked at Guard Cui in a daze and asked again. Guard Cui hurriedly said to Battalion Commander Shi, "It's that old monk who passed away, Master." "Passed away? My junior brother passed away?" Yinlu started fussing. Suddenly Zhang Yaoye became confident and said to Yinlu: "Old brother, don't worry. This young man Cui just said wow, only I know that old monk Jingyuan is not dead. Oh, no, Only I know that the old monk Jingyuan has not passed away. He has fallen asleep for a while, just like a person who closes the door when he sleeps, and someone has to wake him up. As long as he wakes him up, he will be fine. Yes. Only my goddaughter Bai Xiaoyang can do this, so we were thinking about saving my goddaughter and then going to wake up the old monk Jingyuan." After hearing Zhang Yaoye's words, Yinlu immediately showed a respectful smile to the rustically dressed old man, and said, "I didn't expect you to know a lot!" Mr. Zhang Yao said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "I'm an old guy from the township, what can I understand? It's not what my goddaughter told me. My goddaughter, the way is really deep. !" Whenever Bai Xiaoyang is mentioned, Zhang Yaoye always has a happy expression on his face. "Are you a daughter-in-law? Where are you? Hearing what you said, I really have to see her." Yinlu was also interested in the daughter-in-law Zhang Yaoye mentioned. Zhang Yaoye's expression darkened again, and he said, "Oh! But in this world, good people suffer! My goddaughter was taken away by a group of bad people, and I don't know where she is now." Yinlu looked at Mr. Zhang Yao, then at the people standing on the spot with different expressions, and said, "It seems that things are getting more and more complicated." Zhang Yaoye went on to say: "It's very complicated. I still feel like I'm dreaming." With her hands behind her back, Yinlu turned around twice on the spot, made a thoughtful look, then raised her head suddenly, and said, "See if this is okay, one of you will take me to see my junior brother first. " "It's useless for you to go and see. The old monk Jingyuan is like a zombie at this time. He is unconscious and sleeps like a dead person. Let's try to find a way to find my goddaughter quickly, and save her as soon as possible. The hope of the old monk in Huojingyuan is even greater. If I miss the time, I am afraid that my goddaughter will come, and I will be powerless." But Yinlu chuckled and said, "Since I'm here, I'm afraid I don't have to wait for your daughter-in-law to show up, right?" Zhang Yaoye couldn't understand the meaning behind the hidden words, and said solemnly: "Why don't you believe my daughter-in-law's method? I saw with my own eyes that my daughter-in-law rejuvenated and rescued Master Tuo. At that time Master Tuo was already drowned in the drinking cow pond. It was my daughter-in-law who used a few silver needles to bring Master Tuo back to life. If you haven’t seen my daughter-in-law save Master Tuo with your own eyes, of course you won’t believe me what you said." Yinlu knew that Mr. Zhang Yao had obviously misunderstood his meaning, so he said with a smile: "Hehe... fellow, you misunderstood me. I didn't say a word that I don't believe in your ability to be a girl .I mean that you have the means of being a girl, but I may not have it. Do you understand what I mean?" At this moment, Zhang Yaoye seemed to turn his head around, and said, "You mean, you can also be brought back to life?" Yinlu said: "I don't dare to talk about bringing the dead back to life, so compared to your daughter-in-law, my skills may be a lot worse. But I know my junior brother's illness. Teachers come from the same school, there is always a good understanding." The similarities. My junior brother may have known that he had such a catastrophe, so he had notified me before his accident, so I did not come here by chance. I came here for an appointment. This matter, this little Cui should clear." Now Guard Cui is both clear and unclear.There was still confusion on his face, but he still nodded towards Mr. Zhang Yao, expressing that he agreed with Yin Lu's words. But Battalion Commander Shi whispered to Riwobuji beside him, "Do you think everything this man says is reliable?" Riwobuji nodded with a smile. Although Battalion Commander Shi felt that everything that happened at this time and place was covered by clouds, he still said to Guard Cui: "Well, Xiao Cui, you immediately drive the jeep and take this old man to Jiangjiawan .Let's take care of things here." Guard Cui said "yes", and walked out of the courtyard with Yinlu and Xiangyu. According to the arrangement of Commander Shi, Master Zhang Yao and She Shiyun were originally supposed to stay in place and guard in the courtyard. Because of the existence of the giant python and dragon, Commander Shi was not worried about Master Zhang Yao and She Shiyun. what can go wrong.Moreover, he also believed that the giant python little dragon was completely manipulated by She Shiyun.In his current consciousness, he can only use manipulation to deal with the relationship between She Shiyun and Xiaolong.Although Yingying Commander Shi didn't believe in mysterious things, he still knew about the circus performances in the circus. Those wild lions and tigers were also at the mercy and manipulation of animal trainers. However, because Zhang Yaoye was eager to see the people in the village, he insisted on going to Jingwu Temple with Shi Yingchang and the others.Once the stubborn strength of the country old man comes up, even eight mules can't pull him back.Battalion Commander Shi couldn't hold back against him, so he had no choice but to follow him, but he was worried about She Shiyun who was alone, so he was in a difficult situation for a while.At this juncture, Zhang Ziheng finally volunteered to raise his hand and said: "Since our Yaoye is leaving, I am the only one staying." His eyes also shifted and dodged a little, and he didn't dare to look at She Shiyun who was standing aside. But Zhang Yaoye said: "You should have expressed this attitude long ago. This made Lao Tzu and Battalion Commander Shi stand up against each other." Zhang Ziheng was extremely unconvinced and said: "Who called you Yaoye? Hengmutou!" Zhang Yaoye also responded angrily: "It's good to know that I am your Yaoye!" Then he couldn't wait to urge Battalion Commander Shi and Riwobuji to go on the road.And Zhang Ziheng had already put his hands into the sleeves of his padded jacket, found a dark corner and squatted down, as if he disappeared in the dark courtyard all of a sudden.
