All things are animistic. Although they are not enlightened, they approach based on instinctive attraction.
Ye Qin did not expel these creatures because these animals had no impact on his practice. When the practice was over, those animals would leave on their own and follow them.
A touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky, and the first ray of morning light came to the mountains. It fell on the highest point of the terrain, and the stones soaked in moonlight began to be baptized and washed by the sun again.
At this moment, Ye Qin had already returned to the cave to rest, and the animals had disappeared without a trace, completely missing the grand scene last night.
There is a lot of white mist on the top of the mountain. In the morning light, the mist is lingering, the sun is rising, and the sea of clouds is rolling, against the blue sky, it looks like a masterpiece written by a famous artist. With a stroke of a pen, it is the best sunrise picture.
Golden light shrouded the continuous mountains. In the rays of the sky, they looked like dragon scales, emitting a gleaming light, and even the villages not far away were decorated with special colors.
Longyuan Village is just a hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain. There is a huge lake not far away, surrounded by mountains and rivers. In addition, the geographical climate here is relatively suitable.
Although the location is relatively remote, there are still many people living here, with nearly a hundred households. Although it is not as prosperous as a big city, everyone's lifestyle is different.
Wang Dazhu and Zhou Niu came back from a wedding banquet in the neighboring village. In order to take a shortcut, they chose a trail in the mountains.
The two drank too much and the journey was relatively slow. When they came to their senses, the sky was already dark.
It was evening, and it was night again.
Zhou Niu pulled Wang Dazhu and said, "We have to hurry up. If it's too late, we won't be able to see the road."
It can be said that the villagers in this area have been running all over the mountains and plains since they were able to walk.
But it is still quite dangerous in the mountains at night. Not to mention encountering poisonous insects, snakes and ants, if you accidentally encounter medium and large carnivores, it will be dangerous.
Zhou Niu burped, "Brother Wang, are you going the wrong way? Why do I feel like I've been wandering around here?"
Wang Dazhu scratched his head and said, "No way. I walked through it a few months ago, so I shouldn't make any mistakes. If I go further west, I should be able to walk out."
As the night began to unfold, a full moon hung high in the sky, and the silver light cast by it illuminated the road between the mountains and fields. The two of them could barely distinguish the direction without looking like blind men.
Zhou Niu looked at the moon above his head, "Fortunately, there is a moon today, and our mobile phones are out of battery, otherwise we would really be walking blind."
Wang Dazhu was a little strange, "Today is not August 15th, why is the moon suddenly so round, like a big cake in my pot."
As he spoke, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Niu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I ate so many pork elbows at the dinner table just now, I bet you all ate them for nothing."
Wang Dazhu chuckled and touched his belly, "I haven't walked on the mountain road for a long time, and I have digested everything, but the sauce pork elbow tastes really good."
The two of them walked on the road with one foot deep and one foot shallow. "But having said that, have you noticed that the moon today is brighter than usual."
Because of this, the surrounding environment does not seem so dark. Mountain men are used to walking at night and do not feel scared.
"And why are you so quiet today?"
Zhou Niu looked around, and there were usually chirping of insects and birds, especially frogs and cicadas, occasionally mixed with the calls of night owls.
But now there was no sound, it was incredibly quiet, there was only the sound of their footsteps, which was strange and unaccustomed.
Although many animals are resting now, this is the time when some night creatures are most active.
After hearing what Zhou Niu said, Wang Dazhu was puzzled and looked up at the sky, "Yes, I used to see night owls flying by when I walked at night, but now I can't see any."
In rural areas, it is customary to call owls night owls.
It seemed that all the creatures on the mountain had fallen into a deep sleep. Even the nocturnal field mice could not be found. It seemed as if all these animals were hiding.
The too quiet environment made them a little uncomfortable. Although Wang Dazhu and Zhou Niu didn't believe in any strange stories, they felt a little unusual at the moment.
"Forget it, let's go quickly. It feels weird in the mountains today."
Wang Dazhu was very nervous, so he didn't think too much about it.
The two of them quickened their pace, but they never thought that the road they were taking was gradually becoming easier, heading towards the direction with the highest terrain.
Zhou Niu frowned, "Logically speaking, we should have reached the bottom of the mountain by now. Why are we still here? Maybe we went in the wrong direction again."
Wang Dazhu, as if he had seen something, waved to Zhou Niu, "Brother Zhou, come and take a look. There seems to be something ahead of you."
There were shadows in front of them. Zhou Niu pushed aside the bushes in front of them. However, when they saw the scene in front of them, their pupils suddenly shrank and they froze on the spot.
Wang Dazhu gasped and was about to scream, but Zhou Niu tightly covered his mouth. At this moment, his eyes widened greatly and his expression changed even more.
The two of them leaned against the big tree, their breathing becoming a little heavy.
One can't help but wonder what exactly they saw? !
Wang Dazhu lowered his voice, "Brother Zhou, we must have hallucinated just now, why are so many animals gathered together?"
Zhou Niu shook his head, unsure whether he had drunk too much.
He took a deep breath and pushed aside the bushes in front of him again.
With the moonlight above my head, I could see more clearly this time.
I saw densely packed wild animals standing not far away. It was impossible to see the bottom at a glance.
They are all small animals such as voles, rabbits, weasels and foxes.
Although these animals are relatively small in size, there are still many of them.
Many of these animals are even antagonistic.
The fox and the rabbit stand together!
There are also weasels and voles. Although they both have the word "rat" in them and sound like relatives, they are hard to catch a glimpse of, and voles are still on the weasel's diet.
That's not even the most important thing.
Best of all, all the animals maintain the same pose!
Wang Dazhu swallowed deeply, feeling as if his throat was smoking and extremely dry. He said in disbelief:
"Brother Zhou, do you feel that these animals seem to be..."
He couldn't say anything anymore after that.
Zhou Niu's face was pale, and large drops of sweat appeared on his forehead, which fell to the ground. He obviously understood what he meant.
Those animals had their upper bodies upright and their forelimbs slightly bent. From their angle, it looked like they were worshiping the moon!
All beasts worship the moon!
This scene gave me goosebumps.
When the mountain breeze blew at night, the two of them couldn't help shivering, and then they realized that their backs were soaked with cold sweat.
