The days of being frantically pursued by the boss of the horror world
Chapter 74 The Mystery of the Ceremony
Yu Jin made a mark along the road, and tried to walk in a straight line as much as possible, so that it would be convenient for him to return to the original road later.
The sorceress told him to keep going straight, and he really just walked forward, regardless of the forked roads around him.
Along the way, he felt eyes watching him, especially bright in the dark night.This kind of gaze carried the coldness and cruelty unique to beasts, like a few cold stars nailed to his back.
There are inevitably poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains. He has both weapons and abilities, so he doesn't have to be afraid, so he doesn't hesitate to get nervous.
The beast has been lurking around him, but has not taken the initiative to attack, as if waiting for something.
He walked for a while and finally stopped.
He saw the marks he had made.
Yu Jin didn't know if he walked around unintentionally, or if there was something wrong with the mountain forest.In fact, there are very few reference objects here, and he has almost no way to identify the road except for the marks he has made.
He paused, then continued walking forward.After walking for a while, he returned to the original place.
Yu Jin carved a second mark on the tree that had been marked originally.
He still went straight forward, and finally found that although he would return to the original point, he was not taking a repeated path, but no matter which direction he walked, he would always return to this place.
He stood still under the tree, put his palm on the trunk, and prepared to study the strangeness of the tree.
The tree looked indistinguishable from any other tree nearby, and he couldn't be sure for a moment, cutting the trunk.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound behind him.The wild animal that had been staring at it finally couldn't hold back, and jumped out of the grass.
is a wolf.
Leaving aside the reason why wild wolves appear in such places, Yu Jin only thinks that the appearance of these wolves is quite different from ordinary wolves.
But after all, he is not an expert in this field, and he can't see the specific problem. Seeing the wolves surrounding him, he immediately lit a flame to drive them away.
The wolves did not dare to approach rashly, but they still surrounded him, lowered their bodies and howled, as if warning and threatening.
He must suffer from close combat with wolves.If the fire wasn't enough to drive the wolves away, he'd have to consider running out of arrows.
Seeing him bending his bow and nodding his arrow, the wolves became even more anxious.
When he aimed at a wolf in a certain direction, other wolves suddenly rushed up and hit the vital point.
Yu Jin's whole body was ignited with flames, and the surrounding vegetation was ignited by the fire, forming a natural protective circle.
Anyway, what this village did was not a good thing, even if this forest was destroyed, he would not feel too guilty.
But the wolves only hesitated at first, and soon attacked him resolutely.
This desperate look reminded Yu Jin of the servants domesticated by those vampires.
The purpose of this pack of wolves is definitely not to prey, but to prevent him from getting close to something.
They are guarding the secrets here.
Yu Jin tried to stay away from the tree, but saw the wolves standing in place and did not follow.
It was the tree in question.
But the more it is like this, the more Yu Jin needs to dig out the secrets there.
He walked away silently, pretending to give up, but in a corner where the wolves couldn't notice, he took out a light arrow and aimed at the wolves.When the wolves felt the danger and rushed towards them, they used the surrounding vegetation as fuel to burn the wolves by surprise.
Even so, he was still scratched and bitten by wolves. Fortunately, compared to the losses suffered by the wolves, the injuries he suffered were minor injuries.
The pack of wolves finally fell to the ground one by one. Yu Jin clutched his wound, looked at the small piece of woods that had been almost razed to the ground, and returned to the tree.
The jade bracelet on his hand glowed faintly, as if it had the power to heal, and the wound healed itself in a short while.
Without the cover of the surrounding vegetation, the scene around this tree is more clearly displayed in front of you.
Yu Jin cut the trunk, broke off the branches, and even burned the cut branches, but there was no effect.
Then the focus should be on the land where the tree takes root.
There might be something buried in the ground.
The land under this tree does not look abnormal at first glance.He borrowed the scabbard to dig away the soil on the surface, but touched a small hard box.
The box looked old, its surface had been discolored, and a charm was pasted on the seal.
Just as Yu Jin was about to uncover the talisman, he saw a faint golden light from the talisman.He hesitated for a moment, put away the box, and prepared to leave.
When he turned his head, he saw Ding He standing not far behind him, his face pale and gloomy.
He walked towards Ding He, but saw Ding He took a step back, his voice was cold: "You are injured."
It was not his normal tone.
Yu Jin took another step towards him, and stopped when he saw that he was still retreating: "What's wrong with you?"
Ding He didn't answer, he shook the box in his hand: "Because of this?"
Ding He turned pale and nodded.
Yu Jin put his hand on the sealed talisman: "Is it the thing inside, or the talisman outside?"
Ding He's voice trembled imperceptibly: "Outside."
Yu Jin took off the spell.The talisman erupted with a strong golden light, nearly burning his eyes.He squinted and tossed the charm aside.
When the talisman fell to the ground, it was like a piece of waste paper. When the wind blew, it hung on the branch of the tree next to it, breaking a hole.
As soon as the talisman was removed, Ding He's face returned to normal, and his expression softened.
Yu Jin opened the box: "You said before that you also have limitations, is it because of this?"
Inside the box was a jade bracelet, which was a pair with the one in his hand.Ding He took out the jade bracelet and put it on his wrist.
The jade bracelet emitted a faint white light, reflecting his complexion like jade.
"This is my other half of power. Without this half of power, I have to rely on people or in dreams to act freely." Ding He bent his eyebrows, "You throw away the spell, I'm not afraid that there will be no way to restrict me in the future ?"
"I don't need this kind of thing." Yu Jin also threw the box back to the original place, "So every time you saw me before, it was all in a dream?"
No wonder he always felt dizzy when he saw Ding He, and he really didn't wake up.
Ding He hesitated and said, "It's not...you've seen the corpse in the coffin, right? I occasionally attach to people."
"Can you only attach to living people, or can you live or die?"
"It's okay." Ding He smiled ambiguously, "I can also attach to you."
Yu Jin asked: "If you are possessed, will you feel any abnormal feeling?"
"I don't know what it feels like to be possessed. But after being possessed, your body will be under my control. You can feel, but you can't act."
Yu Jin asked a philosophical question: "At this time, is this body you or me?"
Ding He pondered for a moment: "It should not be counted. But if you have to say it...it should be me. Unless your consciousness can regain the dominance of your body."
Yu Jin was thoughtful, and followed him out of the woods.
He suddenly asked coldly: "Can you possess me at any time, and make decisions for me when I don't want to?"
Ding He was startled, stroked his hair soothingly, and said softly: "I will not possess you without your consent."
He didn't look like a liar, Yu Jin felt relieved and leaned towards him.
Without the effect of the spell that suppressed Ding He, the forest was just an ordinary forest, and Yu Jin walked to the exit with ease.
Ding He, who had a physical body this time, finally did not disappear suddenly.
He smelled Ding He's scent: "You have a special fragrance on your body."
Not the scent of the corpse soaked in spices, but his own.
Ding He held him in his arms: "Do you like it?"
"After smelling it, I feel a sense of peace." Yu Jin blinked slowly, "It makes people want to sleep."
"I can only let you see me if I enter your dream." Ding He's voice sounded a bit ethereal.Yu Jin knew that he was about to fall asleep again.
When he woke up, it was dawn again.The sorceress came late and took him from the mountain to the village.
Yu Jin looked at the sorcerer's kind side face, thought for a while, and asked, "Why do you believe that I'm not evil?"
The sorceress is old, but her words are clear: "Because of a miracle. It was God who guided me to find you."
"Do you know what was once sealed in the mountain?"
The sorceress turned her head to look at him with serene and insightful eyes: "It's God."
Yu Jin didn't ask any more questions, and followed him back to Yu Cheng's home.
Yu Cheng didn't make such a fuss anymore, but his tone was a little worried: "I've packed up my things, and I'll leave that day. But you...you must be careful, there are already people in the village who don't care about you. You can burn the forest, Many people rely on mountains for food, and now they hate it."
They want to bring down the sorceress together.In the final analysis, they have never believed in God, and what they believe in is only profit. If God cannot bless them, they cannot be called God.
They sacrificed in this way, which would inevitably arouse Ding He's dissatisfaction, and his life became worse and worse.The more miserable the life, the deeper the resentment towards Yu Jin, thinking that this sacrifice must not satisfy the gods.
"They said that the sorceress is getting old, her eyesight is not working well, and she can't make good decisions. I'm afraid the sorceress will not be able to help you in the future."
Yu Jin wanted to say something, but Yu Cheng waved his hand to stop him: "Don't talk too much, I don't believe you, I just remind you, be careful."
He was frank and upright, and Yu Jin also accepted his kindness, and his face softened a little.
Yu Cheng chuckled, not knowing what he was laughing at.
Taking advantage of the early time, Yu Jin asked Yu Cheng about the seal in the forest: "Do you know anything special in the forest?"
"I don't know much about this." Yu Cheng usually doesn't go to the mountains to cut firewood, and it's all hearsay. The demons are suppressing here. But I have lived here for so long, and I haven’t seen any strange things happen here, it must be all made up.”
Yu Cheng was startled suddenly, took half a step back, and looked at him hesitantly: "Could it be...you are the evil spirit that was suppressed here?"
After he finished speaking, he shook his head again: "Impossible, impossible, you came from outside, where could it be a ghost."
"What if I really am?" Yu Jin looked at him with a half-smile.
Yu Cheng's world view was shocked again, he looked at him in surprise, suddenly patted his thigh, and suddenly said: "Yes, you should not be an evil spirit, you should be that Taoist priest!"
Yu Jin saw him startled there, and didn't care too much, went to drink tea and eat fruit by herself.
Yu Cheng said to himself: "I think what kind of god this is, it should be evil spirits."
Yu Jin paused, and glanced at him: "Why do you say that?"
Yu Cheng said confidently: "Look, how can there be a normal god who needs this kind of ritual? This kind of god who wants to eat people is simply a demon."
"What you said...is also possible."
Hearing his response, Yu Cheng was in a state of confusion: "Why don't you go with me. Now they are not obsessed with rituals anymore, if you sneak away, no one will care."
Yu Jin touched the bracelet on his wrist: "Didn't you say that I came to accept his Taoist priest? If I leave, who will take care of him?"
In Yu Cheng's eyes, Yu Jin's image became taller and taller.Self-sacrifice for others, this is the real master.
If only he could meet such an expert in the future.
In the last ceremony before the wedding, the river is sacrificed.
On the penultimate day, it wasn't just the sorceress who came.The group of villagers looked at Yu Jin indifferently, not knowing what they were thinking.
The sorcerer looked as usual, held his hand and told him: "This is the last day, you must be more careful."
The sorceress told him to keep going straight, and he really just walked forward, regardless of the forked roads around him.
Along the way, he felt eyes watching him, especially bright in the dark night.This kind of gaze carried the coldness and cruelty unique to beasts, like a few cold stars nailed to his back.
