No one said when the clear fog spread.
Everything happened so silently, the sun fell completely below the horizon, darkness enveloped the forest, they walked side by side in silence, leading their horses, the forest at night was filled with damp water vapor, and at this moment the fog came from Drilled out from every corner, wrapping the two in nothingness.
The light of the huozhezi in his hand cannot penetrate the thicker and thicker fog, the visibility is only five or six meters, and the surrounding is terribly quiet, only the sound of stepping on grass blades and dead branches, and occasionally a few hoarse voices from the ethereal distance. Dong Zheng knew that they had better find a safe place to rest now to spend the night.
Where can I go to find a safe place? They couldn't find their way at all, no matter where they went, they were always surrounded by ghostly tree shadows in the dark and the unchanging forest scene.
"Where are we?" Ren Heming said softly, as if he was afraid that a slightly louder voice would disturb the unknown existence in this dense foggy forest.
"I don't know." Dong Zheng paused, and finally expressed the common concerns of the two at this moment, "Senior brother, are we lost?"
Although they really don't want to admit it, it's a fact after all - they got lost, and in the foggy forest in the middle of the night, the evil spirits they were hunting didn't know where they were lurking, and they were just two people and some talismans.
In any case, staying in place is the most dangerous choice. They moved slowly and aimlessly. The thick fog interfered with the judgment of the direction. I don't know if they have been going around in circles. Can get out of the forest.
The road in the forest in the mountains was very difficult to walk, and the stock of Huozhezi was not much. Dong Zheng felt tired, and the excessive coldness made his mind a little dull.
After an unknown amount of time, Dong Zheng and Ren Heming thought for a while that they were dazzled when they saw the warm light in the thick fog.
"Lights?" Ren Heming paused for a while, and suddenly regained his energy. He patted Dong Zheng's shoulder hard and said, "Go, go and have a look."
The two walked quickly towards the light. The light was getting closer and closer. After walking for about ten minutes, they finally arrived.
This is a temple, with a small half of the wall collapsed and the front yard overgrown with weeds, apparently abandoned for quite some time.
They walked into the temple, which was leaking everywhere. The statue on the high platform had its hands folded on its chest, covered with a thick layer of dust, and its face was already blurred. There is a row of burning candles on the tribute platform. The candle oil sticks the red candles on the platform, and the hot wax that burns and flows down remains along the body of the candle to completely fix the candle.
The indistinct face of the god statue was illuminated by flickering firelight from bottom to top, and the shadow shrouded from the top of the head, showing a kind of ferocity and evil that should not appear here at all, and it was extraordinarily treacherous.
Dong Zheng quickly observed the surroundings. This place may have been used as a temporary residence for beggars or passers-by. There were many hay stacks beside the pillars. They stood in the center, with the tribute platform and the statue in front.
"Someone must have been here not long ago." Ren Heming murmured, and he put one hand on the embroidered spring knife, guarding vigilantly, "Maybe the person who lit the candle has not left yet."
He took a step toward the shadow behind the statue, and the floor creaked overwhelmedly.
"Wait a minute, this is not right." Dong Zheng stretched out his hand and wanted to hold him. The moment his fingers touched Ren Heming's elbow, an indescribable dull sound came from the ground, and at the same time, there was an unknown violent vibration.
not good!
The moment before his feet lost support, Dong Zheng immediately turned around and took off, hugging the pillar beside him, Ren Heming screamed and fell down with the broken floor. However, before Dong Zheng could make the next reaction, the pillar was broken.
In the candlelight, under the indifferent gaze of the idol, he fell into the abyss below.
