Yu Yi bit his lip and clenched his fists.
The two of them walked under the stars that night. Yu Yi Zeng Jin promised Diao Xue to persuade Diao Ruxiao, but not only has he failed to persuade Diao Ruxiao, but he has also brought the matter to this situation, causing Diao Xue to lose her freedom.
Gradually, everyone in the school grounds dispersed, leaving only Yu Yi alone. He looked at the competition stage and thought of the large stages used for large-scale performances in modern life. He thought of his mother's delicious meals and his friends. He didn't know how they were doing now.
When he was wronged before, he always had someone to talk to and complain to. His mother would always stand up for him and shoulder the responsibility. Now the only one he can rely on is himself. No matter what kind of grievance he has, he doesn't even have anyone to talk to and needs to be alone. Digest it.
Returning to his residence, Yu Yi met Su Qiang who was returning from work and nodded as a greeting.
When he opened the door of his room, Yu Yi accidentally knocked over the fishing rod leaning against the door. He thought of Diaosou and didn't know that he was not in the swamp of Daoxiang Village yet.
With nothing to do, Yu Yi knocked on Su Qiang's door again. This time he smelled the smell of burning paper again, but the smell quickly dissipated, and then Su Qiang opened the door.
"Ah, it's Yuyi, what do you want from me?" Su Qiang still had the same expression, and there was nothing unusual about it.
"Uncle Su, can you tell me the origins of the fog in the swamp and the fog-ringed snake?"
Yu Yi seemed very polite. He had the fishing gear in hand. It would be a pity not to go fishing. However, the tragic scene of Zhang Daniu's broken arm still remained in Yu Yi's mind, and it could not be dissipated for a long time. If he wanted to go to the fishing ground on the west side of the lake, the swamp was the only way to go, but when the fog started, Yu Yi was completely at a loss. He had learned about the dangers of fog-ringed snakes and thought that Su Qiang was well-informed, so he tried his luck with him to see if he knew something about the swamp.
"Swamp mists and mist kraits?"
Su Qiang picked up a branch and wrote these two words on the ground. The words were very deep and large.
"There is such a legend about this mist. It is said that in ancient times, Daoxiang Village was full of spiritual energy, and an immortal practiced Taoism here. There is no time in the mountain. Unknowingly, tens of thousands of years have passed. One day, the demon general also found this place. , wanted to take this place as his own, so the two got into a dispute and fought for days and nights. Because the immortal had enough time to absorb the spiritual energy and his magic power was stronger, he temporarily repelled the demon general, but he also suffered a lot. Seriously injured, he realized that he didn't have much time left. The departure of the demon general would definitely let more demons and heretics know about this paradise. The consequences would be unimaginable, so he sacrificed his mana and life. A huge shock wave was generated at that time, and soon a large pit appeared in the ground. Over the years, the water flow gathered, which became the lake later. A swamp was formed beside the lake. The formation of the swamp and the lake was not accidental. It was actually an energy barrier. After a while, fog appeared in the swamp. As expected by the immortal, the demon general recovered from his injuries and came back with a large number of demon clan members. Many demon clan members felt the abundance of spiritual energy and rushed into the fog. As a result, they were instantly trapped by the fog. After the energy was drained, the other tribe members realized how powerful the mist was and did not dare to get close. The demon tribe members who were swallowed up, because of their strong aura, were absorbed by the water snakes living in the swamp, and gradually nourished the snakes, forming a The extremely venomous fog-ringed snake only appears in foggy days. If the fog dissipates and the snake's body sees the sun, it will dissipate immediately."
Yu Yi's eyes widened, and he was glad that he had no magic power, otherwise he would still be alive after entering the fog. But of course legends are legends, and they may not be true. If Master Donghua was here, he would definitely ask about this situation.
In fact, Su Qiang did not completely tell the story. Before the immortal sacrificed, he also used magic power to condense his life's travels and knowledge into a book, which is called "Dunjia Tianshu". This book is all-inclusive. Ordinary people can get it and be able Call the wind and rain to dominate.
Su Qiang also heard this story from a resident near the lake. When Su Qiang entered Daoxiang Village a few years ago, he was almost injured by a fog-ringed snake. Therefore, he was also interested in the fog and went there. Investigate it.
"Okay, then is there a pattern for this fog to appear?"
In fact, Yu Yi doesn't care about the causes of swamps, lakes, and fog. He cares about how to get to the fishing place.
"Then you really asked the right person. According to my observation, the appearance of fog during the day is random, but it is different at night. The fog will dissipate at Zi time and Yin time!"
The watchman has a large range of walking at night. These are his judgments based on many years of experience.
Zi hour is 23-1 o'clock, Yin hour is 3-5 o'clock, which means that if he can go fishing through the misty swamp, he will only have 2-3 hours. Yu Yi counted them with his fingers.
"What about during the day?"
Yuyi continued to ask, because he didn't encounter the fog when he went there the first time, and the fog briefly dispersed when he went there the second time. He wanted to spend more time fishing, so he wanted to gain some expectations from the questioning.
"As far as I know, it's winter. Sometimes the fog is very heavy at other times, and sometimes there is no fog. Could it be that it depends on the mood of the immortal. Whoever he wants to let in will disperse the fog, and whoever he doesn't want to go in will attract the fog, and then Let the fog-ringed snake attack?"
Su Qiang coughed a few times, but there was no sound, or he felt that the hypothesis was a bit whimsical, so he couldn't help laughing.
In Yuyi's heart, Su Qiang's words are true to the immortal, which is a bit superstitious. Even if it is true as he said, the immortal controls the fog by his mood, so why not in winter? Is it because everyone is in a good mood every day in winter, so everyone can go? Thinking of this section, Yu Yi finally realized that it might be the fog-ringed snake. Snakes are cold-blooded animals and can hibernate. The fog is created by snakes. After hibernation, there will naturally be no fog. It’s just that the lake is frozen in winter, but there are still fish to catch there.
Su Qiang thought for a while and felt that Yu Yi was right, but no one had ever seen this fog-ringed snake, but the tragedy it caused left a deep impression on many people. Every year, villagers accidentally wander into the foggy swamp while fetching water from the lake, and are never seen again. When the fog dissipates, villagers always find corpses appearing by the water, highly decomposed, with a strange appearance before death, and the body is in a miserable state. First, many people’s scalps became numb and they vomited after watching it.
"How are you preparing for the content I asked you to memorize?" Su Qiang stopped worrying about the swamp and asked about another matter.
"Well, there is too much content. Can you reduce some of the content? Otherwise it will be really difficult."
After returning that day, Yu Yi went to read "Huainanzi" and forgot about reciting the contents of collecting herbs. At this moment, the other party suddenly asked him about it. He was a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head with his hand, not forgetting to bargain.
"Collecting medicine is the most complicated thing. You need to carefully identify the medicine. Once the medicine is wrong, all subsequent processes will be wrong. If it is a toxic medicine, it will kill people if they take it!" Su Qiang looked very serious.
This was the first time Yu Yi saw Su Qiang looking serious. Although he was mute and couldn't speak, he was a little scary when he looked serious.
