Nine idlers

Xu Changqing was quite displeased when his thinking was interrupted. He looked at Vera indifferently, frowned, and didn't mean to answer her question at all. With the intention of teasing, he said, "Return your things to you?"

"Don't come near me, don't come near me!"

"Get it off, get it off!"

How dare these few people get greedy for this thing anymore, they are all afraid to avoid it, if there is not a more terrifying existence outside the house, maybe they have all escaped from the house at this moment .

On the contrary, Vera was able to face Xu Changqing's teasing relatively calmly. Although she also had a look of fear on her face, she didn't dodge in such a panic, but carefully observed the gem with great interest.

"Can you tell me what this is?" Even though Vera's heart was full of fear, she still had a strong curiosity about such mysterious things.

In fact, Xu Changqing didn't know that the reason why Vera led the hunting trip and chose the Tunguska area was because of the Tunguska explosion.From some records of her family, she knew that after the Tunguska explosion, some mysterious things often happened in the primeval forests of the Central Siberian Plateau, and her grandfather obtained a piece here that enabled the Oliver family to A treasure that survived World War I and World War II safely.It's just that the diary didn't record what the treasure was. It just praised the treasure with a lot of words praising the gods, and she was smart enough to deduce that it should be a gem from the way these praise words were described. something like that.

Before deciding to come to the Tunguska area, Vera never thought that she could find the treasure discovered by her grandfather. She just wanted to explore the way to satisfy her strong curiosity and familiarize herself with the environment so that she could take her with her next time. people come over.However, what surprised her was that what happened yesterday made her see the mysterious things in the legend, such as the mysterious whispers that night and so on.She likes the occult very much.Therefore, I have also read some books on occultism, many of which describe the indescribable mysterious and terrifying novels in American Rockwell literature, so when she heard the mysterious whisper that did not belong to the category of sound, she associated it with it got together.

therefore.When she saw the extremely supernatural Firefox this morning, Vera was actually not as fascinated as others, and she still maintained a certain degree of sobriety.However, she didn't stop her companion's actions because she felt that something was a little strange, but fueled the flames out of curiosity.That's why he chased after him to the beast cemetery.Even at the entrance of the valley, she was the first to see that gemstone, but she thought it was strange that such a top-quality gemstone appeared in an environment full of bones, so she didn't dig it.On the contrary, it was because of some intentional or unintentional actions of hers that the companion also discovered the gem and dug it out first, which finally turned into the current situation.

Vera, who came from a big family, had special training in seeing people since she was a child. Before that, because of emotional influences such as fear and excitement, she could not calm down and see the surrounding situation clearly.And now things have stabilized.She naturally regained her ability to think. With her eyes, it is not difficult to see that Xu Changqing is different. She also sees that Xu Changqing must have a certain understanding of the monsters outside and this devil's gem, and she is not even afraid at all. These horrible things.In other words, Xu Changqing is the one who dominates everything in this hut, and it is also the key to whether they can leave alive.

Hearing Vera's question, Xu Changqing sized her up and didn't answer immediately. Instead, she turned her head and signaled Yakov to clean up the mummy on the ground.When Yakov heard the order, he stepped forward and grabbed the corpse on the ground with one hand.He opened the door like throwing garbage, and threw the corpse out.

Just when Yakov closed the door, Vera and the others vaguely heard some abnormal noises coming from outside. These abnormal noises included the sound of insects crawling.There is also the sound of ferocious beasts devouring their prey. All in all, any kind of sound can make them have endless reveries.

Xu Changqing moved the chair back to the stove, then put the gem in his hand into his pocket unceremoniously, and said: "Since you don't want this gem, it belongs to me. But I don't want to take yours for nothing. Things, you sleep here tonight. I can assure you that nothing will happen to you, and if you can walk to the nearest town during the day tomorrow, you will be safe."

As he spoke, he saw that he walked up to the two young men whose bodies were almost covered by black spots, and touched their foreheads with his hand, and then everyone saw a faint wave of light emitting from where his fingers pointed. The golden light expanded outwards, and the black spots all dissipated the moment they touched the light, and soon the bodies of the two youths returned to their original state.

This scene stunned everyone. Even though they had seen the terrifying monster outside, they never expected to see such a sacred scene.They may not know what that faint golden light is, but this does not prevent them from associating.Even though they didn't feel the light in person, the inexplicable sense of sacredness they felt when they saw the light appeared, and the conjecture that the light dispelled the dark spots was connected with the biblical story, making each materialist believer instantly transform into a devout religion The believers couldn't help kneeling on the ground one by one, as if they were reciting their most familiar prayers, and completely regarded Xu Changqing as the representative of the West that existed in the world.

When everyone was shocked by this miraculous scene and converted their beliefs, Vera, who had been prepared for a long time, looked at Xu Changqing excitedly, because she had found the goal of her trip, and Can't help asking: "What happened to that light just now? Is it the holy light of the Lord? You..."

Xu Changqing interrupted Vera's repeated inquiries by raising his hand, pointed to the two young men on the ground who still had a faint light on their bodies, and said, "They are fine, but their bodies will be weak for a while, just like having an accident. It’s like a serious illness.” After briefly explaining the situation of the two of them, he asked Vera and the others to take a look, and said: “I want to go to the beast cemetery you have been to tomorrow. Who wants to be a guide?"

As soon as Xu Changqing said this, the room immediately became quiet.Although Xu Changqing showed miraculous abilities just now, they could faintly feel that the monsters wandering outside could not pose a threat to Xu Changqing, but Xu Changqing's behavior of watching that companion turned into a mummy just now made them feel a little uneasy. Worried that if something happened, Xu Changqing would not help them.

When everyone was hesitating, Vera suddenly raised her hand and said, "I, I can be your guide."

"Then it's up to you!" Xu Changqing didn't care about Vera's positive attitude, he nodded calmly, and sat by the stove, flipping through the books that he hadn't finished just now, as if he wasn't going to pay attention to other things .

Seeing Xu Changqing nodded in agreement, Vera was naturally very happy.Although her rationality told her that it would be dangerous to walk with people like Xu Changqing, her instinct drove him to approach Xu Changqing and others, and her strong curiosity about mysterious things and her adventurous personality that was not willing to be ordinary made her move rationally. Forget about it and make decisions purely on instinct.

As for the others, after seeing Vera take the initiative to stand up, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had escaped a catastrophe, and the so-called companionship and friendship were not so important in the face of a life-and-death crisis.Although they are also curious about Xu Changqing, Yakov and others, and even about the things they have encountered before, this curiosity and the newly born belief emotion are not compared with the great life and death and the great terror that may appear. It's worth mentioning.However, while they were glad that they had escaped, they also faintly felt that they seemed to have lost something very important.

Afterwards, there was nothing to do all night. Vera and the others were already exhausted from the day's work, and encountered all kinds of unimaginable things, which had a great impact on their spirits. Instinctively, they fell asleep one by one without worrying about any accidents.

In fact, Yakov was also very curious about what the gem that Xu Changqing had in his pocket was, but he didn't take the initiative to ask. In his opinion, if Xu Changqing needed him to know, he would tell him if he didn't need him to ask, and he didn't need him. I know, even if I ask, it's useless.So with strong curiosity, he completed the training assignments that Xu Changqing set for him, and found a blanket to spread on the ground, fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the hunter's hut, the monster formed by the natural grievance did not leave, but kept circling around the house. It was not that it didn't try to get closer, but there was always an invisible force around the hut that repelled it, and sometimes even It will also devour the resentment of all beasts on it.If this monster has spiritual intelligence, it will definitely be able to see the comparison between the strengths of the two, and it will not stay around the hut anymore, but the problem is that this natural grievance only has instinct, and its instinct is to take back its treasures, so This confrontation of constant impact, engulfment and repulsion lasted until the first ray of sunlight appeared on the top of the distant mountain in the morning.

Although this natural grievance is powerful, it is not strong enough to confront the yang energy of heaven and earth. The moment the sun appeared, it faded back at an unparalleled speed, and as it faded, it enveloped the surrounding forest. The night's cold mist also dissipated.The forest seems to have returned to its original state, but careful people can find that there are no sounds of wild animals or birds in this forest, and even the chirping of insects has disappeared, as if all living things in this forest have disappeared. dead.
