Mystery Leaks

Chapter 425
Soon, the dark yellow light with a little golden light broke through the thick Liu Yun and mist, and expanded to a range of more than ten meters around.

Seeing the people who were abandoned outside the light, they suddenly came back from a desperate situation, and immediately approached us. There were dozens of people, accounting for more than two-thirds.

"This blue lantern is amazing." The fat man was speechless, and said, "Where did you find it? It is definitely a treasure that can overcome all obstacles."

"It was dug out from under the ruins." I replied, at the beginning I thought it was unbelievable that this thing still has lamp oil after so many years; I didn't expect it to have such a miraculous effect, even more powerful than my own strange fire .

Obviously the flame is smaller than the flame of a candle, but the light it emits can extend to more than ten meters away. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it.

"The lamp oil burns with a faint fragrance and smoke, like the legendary Nine-leaf Halifax." After a pause, the fat man moved his nose and said again.

"Nine-leaf Halifax?" I'm a little unclear, so I've heard of Halcyon japonicus. It is a horse chestnut tree. It is said that this tree has wisdom roots and has a relationship with Buddhism.

"Nine-leaf Haloxylon is a precious Buddhist tree, second only to the Bodhi tree. It is said that the seeds of the tree look like a Buddha's head. The oil squeezed out is the best lamp oil for an ever-bright lamp. One can can be burned for hundreds of years." Huang Mao explained , and said: "This kind of tree is very rare, and it will only grow in places where eminent monks and great Buddhas enlightened. Like the bodhi tree, it is the embodiment of the fruit of the Tao."

I was speechless, a can of oil can burn for hundreds of years, it's amazing.

If you look carefully, you can see that there is a milky white smoke in the smoke from the oil lamp, which is very ethereal. When you smell it, there is also a faint fragrance.

No wonder this small can of lamp oil can be kept for so long, not to mention volatilized, it will take tens or hundreds of years to burn.

From this, I am more confident that if that thing is afraid of fire, the green lamp will burn with Buddha-nature and divinity, and I will be able to restrain it even more.

I held up the blue light and let it illuminate as much as possible. Too many people have died, and I can't die anymore, otherwise there will be no one.

After that, we continued to move forward, and the thing did not attack again.

But I could feel that a pair of cold eyes kept appearing from every corner, staring at me.

Obviously, that thing is not reconciled.

As time gradually elongated, the crowd felt a little more relieved.

After the walk, it was the whole middle of the night, when a fire suddenly appeared in front of them. When I got closer, it turned out to be the crowd in front. They sat on the ground around the campfire. There were fewer people, but not too many.

The strange thing is that the fog here is obviously much thinner, and the water vapor is also much lighter.

This is not a gradual change, but when you get close to them, it suddenly fades and the visibility suddenly increases
I took a general look and found that the number of people has not decreased significantly. Obviously, the crowd was just driven here and did not suffer much loss.

This makes me puzzled, needless to say about the ferocity of that black shadow, why didn't so many people kill wantonly?
"What's the situation, that ghost is specifically watching us?" Cao Nan didn't understand.

"It should be that the crowd here is too yang, and it is inconvenient to move, so it turns to stare at us." The fat man explained, paused and said: "And it is obvious that the more crowds, the more Liuyun and The thinner the fog, it means that Yang Qi also has a restraining effect on these two."

I didn't know, sure enough, many people are not useless, especially when facing ghosts and evil spirits, the natural yang energy is the best barrier.

This is also the reason why the big cities are full of ordinary people, but there are no ghosts and evil spirits who dare to go there. They basically stay in the countryside in the wild, because there are many people in the city and the yang energy is high.

The crowd also saw us, and some people cheered at first, but when they saw that our number was reduced by more than half, they all looked at each other and whispered.

After returning to the crowd, Feng Daniu quickly rushed over to join us, seeing that he was fine, we were completely relieved.

"How did you run so far?" Although I already guessed the answer, I couldn't help but ask for confirmation.

"Towards the afternoon, the light got worse, and a black figure kept attacking the crowd. Everyone panicked, so they ran here, and seven of them were lost in total," Feng Daniu said.

I nodded, this is similar to the previous guess.

"Why have you been there for so long, we still heard the bell, is it from your side?" Feng Daniu asked.

Huang Mao nodded, and then roughly talked about what happened to us.

I started counting heads.When we came down, there were about 230 people, and there were about [-] people left.

The ruins of the temple were found later, and about 80 people went in. At this moment, about [-] people came back alive, and more than [-] people were damaged.

The total number should be around 150.

But in detail, I found that there were only more than 130 people in total, nearly half of the total number of people lost, and more than 20 people were missing.

Presumably it must have overrun when escaping, or fell behind and was killed by the shadow,
I have a lot of sympathy, so tossing and tossing, more than 100 people died or disappeared. It sounds like an adventure, but it’s a one-sided massacre.

But no matter what, the crowd converged again, and it was finally safer.

Afterwards, we also returned to the bonfire. We were exhausted and frightened after a day of running around, and we were already tired. The night was ominous, and it was not suitable for traveling, so we chose to rest.

There is no sunshine under the abyss all year round, and you don’t feel it when you move. Once you calm down, you immediately feel the cold, which makes people get goose bumps all over.

After the initial curiosity, the crowd began to feel drowsy, and more and more people lay down. Seeing this, the Iron Head Buddha discussed with Granny Jinhua and others for a while, and divided the people into four shifts. One hour, the rest rest, recharge your batteries.

The people in our area were selected at the beginning, so we had to patrol with our eyes open, and waited for an hour to pass before lying down to rest.

I looked at the blue lamp that was still burning, feeling sorry for the lamp oil, so I planned to blow it out, but was stopped by Hu Lai, who said, "Don't turn it off, it's unlucky at night, it's safer to light it up."

I thought about it too, so I didn't go out, grabbed it in my hand and lay down.

It didn't take long before my eyelids started to fight. When I entered the temple ruins before, I consumed a lot of energy, because every step was like walking on thin ice, trembling, and my spirit was highly concentrated, which consumed a lot. In addition, I was in danger in the small hell later. The double consumption of physical strength is a bit unbearable.

Soon, I fell asleep.

……

I didn't know how long it had been in a daze. I felt some pain in my cheeks. When I opened my eyes, the fat man's anxious face turned pale, and he shouted at me: "Wake up, something happened!"

I shuddered Lingling, sat up abruptly, and when I saw it, my spine felt a chill.

The crowd is gone!
Only a dozen or so people were left with their eyes closed.

The five of us were all there, Hu Lai was being woken up by the fat man, Huang Mao, Cao Nan, and Feng Daniu hadn't opened their eyes yet, Xiong Da was holding the merit box to let go, and there were five or six other people, most of them gathered in the Those around me also have new ones.

When Hu Lai woke up and saw, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly kicked Huang Mao.

Hu Lai also kicked Cao Nan awake, and the fat man went to call Xiong Da and the others.

"What's going on?" I asked the fat man, who was the first to wake up.

"I don't know either." The fat man shrugged and said, "I woke up like this, and everyone disappeared."

"I rely on."

I cursed, and hurried to the side to have a look, and found that the bonfire had obvious traces of being trampled by the panicked crowd.

The feet stepped on the ashes and printed on the ground, showing many very messy footprints.Obviously, the crowd encountered something in the second half of the night, hurried on their way, and left us. There were still obvious bloodstains on the ground, and there were casualties.

"What's the matter, damn?" Cao Nan's expression turned ugly.

"It seems that the attack is not over yet, and that thing appeared again in the middle of the night." Huang Mao stepped forward to observe it, with an ugly expression on his face.

"Then why didn't we wake up, the movement must be serious?" Cao Nan asked.

"That thing must have tried to kill us in some way, but it didn't work for some reason. We were lucky and didn't die in a dream." Fatty's voice came from behind.
