Ayang, do you think what's going on? "
When the aunt saw Qingyang arriving, she asked Qingyang tremblingly.
Qingyang looked at the blood mist in the courtyard and was horrified, but he forced himself to remain calm.
"Auntie, don't be afraid. Go inside first and wait until Uncle Hai and Brother Yuan come back. Don't be contaminated by this blood mist. This blood mist is poisonous."
As he spoke, he saw that the blood mist stopped spreading and instead gradually converged. In just a moment, the blood mist that had spread throughout the yard was all drilled back into the well.
Qingyang then ran into the yard and saw that the boiling well water had also calmed down. When he walked to the well, he saw that the water in the well was as calm as a mirror, reflecting a full moon. But for some reason, Qingyang always felt that today's moon There seems to be something wrong, as if it is out of tune with the surroundings.
But he didn't pay attention. He walked to his aunt and helped her up. Before he could speak, he heard "Auntie! Are you okay?"
Then he saw a young man running in. The young man was wearing a coarse shorts and had a resolute face. He was Qinghai's son Qingyuan, and Qinghai also walked in.
"Ayang, what's wrong with my grandma? My father and I heard her scream from a distance?"
He had gone hunting with his father in the mountains. When he came back to the village entrance, he heard his mother's cry. He immediately lost the prey and ran home.
Qingyang looked at the clean and peaceful courtyard where the blood mist had dissipated, and didn't know what to say.
At this time, the aunt had calmed down, and when she saw her anxious husband and son, she said, "Maybe I was dazzled. I was just going to go to the village to meet you, but when I went out, I saw blood mist coming out of the well all over the courtyard. I was frightened." I had to scream out, but after Ayang arrived, the blood mist disappeared!"
Qinghai Qingyuan was confused when he heard this, but Qingyang knew that his aunt was not dazzled. The scene of blood mist and dead vegetation just now was definitely true.
Uncle Qinghai looked at the dead vegetation in the courtyard with a heavy expression on his face.
But he said softly, "It's okay!"
Then he said to Qingyuan, "Ayuan, you go to the village to pick up the prey we shot. I don't know what happened today. The wild beasts in the mountains are much more ferocious!"
Seeing that his mother was fine, Qingyuan felt relieved, acknowledged his father, and walked out with Qingyang.
As he walked, he told Qingyang how ferocious and cunning the wild beasts in the mountains were today, as if they had intelligence.
Hearing this, Qingyang's heart moved slightly and asked, "Brother Yuan, you said that the beasts in the mountains have intelligence, what's going on?"
"I don't know either. My father and I set up a trap, but it was destroyed by two rabbits holding branches in their mouths. Moreover, the two rabbits were so big, like hunting dogs. I have never seen such a big trap in my life. Where’s the rabbit?”
Hearing this, Qingyang thought about the strange things that happened in his home and Qingyuan's yard today. He was thoughtful and asked casually, "What else?"
"There was also a group of wild goats hiding in the grass and trying to ambush us. Fortunately, my father was very experienced and managed to kill two of them by going around the back. However, they also attacked and drove them away. Even the one who was killed Neither of the two wild goats were recovered.”
The Qing clan relies on the mountains. In addition to farming, they often go hunting in the mountains to supplement their family income. However, they have never heard of such a thing.
Qingyang thought about it and worried about his mother, so he separated from Qingyuan, returned home, and entered the house. He felt relieved when he saw that his mother was fine.
But thinking about the strange things that happened today, I couldn't calm down no matter what. Thinking of the few words that my ancestors usually chattered about, I wanted to go and ask for details.
Immediately, I said something to my mother and walked towards the village. However, along the way, I always felt that the moonlight tonight looked a bit eerie and not as bright as usual.
When he came to the locust tree, he saw that his ancestor was still taking a nap against the locust tree. Qingyang shook him and asked, "Uncle, you should have heard the screams in the village just now. Bloody water came out of my well, and Uncle Hai's yard is filled with blood mist and the grass and trees are withered, do you know what's going on?"
The uncle was shaken awake by him, opened his eyes drowsily, and muttered, "It's Ayang, what are you talking about about blood, water, and blood mist? How do I, the old man, know?"
After saying that, he closed his eyes again and let Qingyang shake and call, but it was of no avail. Instead, he began to snore.
Qingyang had no choice but to give up.
When I returned home, I saw that my mother had completely calmed down and was preparing dinner.
After the mother and son had dinner, the mother put away the dishes and went to bed early, but Qingyang couldn't fall asleep.
When he came to the courtyard, he started practicing the Unnamed Boxing Sutra again.
I started to move my fists and breathe out, and I saw that the feeling of air flowing into my body in the evening began to come back.
After finishing the set of punches, Qingyang's body was covered with the sticky dirt again, but his energy was extremely good, and his whole body felt like he had endless strength.
After the exercise, I went to fetch water to clean up, but thinking about what happened in the evening, I felt a little scared.
It was just uncomfortable to have the dirt all over my body, so I had to bravely wash my whole body with water.
But just after cleaning, and about to return to the house to rest, he suddenly heard the sound of dogs barking in the village, breaking the quiet night.
The home-raised hound also ran into the yard at this time, barking at the sky.
At this time, there were shouts and curses coming from everywhere in the village, but the domestic dog, which was usually docile, completely ignored the owner's curses and just kept barking.
Qingyang stretched out his hand to comfort his dog, but he nimbly dodged it and kept barking at the sky.
Qingyang couldn't help it. At this time, his mother was also awakened by the barking of the dog. She put on her clothes and came out, scolding the dog. The dog who usually ran to his feet and stuck out his tongue when he saw his owner scolded him turned a deaf ear today. Howling incessantly.
Qingyang followed the dog's posture and looked into the sky. He saw a full moon in the sky, but it seemed to be covered with a layer of red gauze. There was a trace of red among the silvery white, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
The night sky that usually shines with stars and the moon now seems a bit depressing. The stars that appeared in the night sky in the past seem to be obscured by the blood-colored gauze on the surface of the moon.
And when he calmed down, Qingyang could hear the roars of tigers and wolves coming from the green hills behind the village, mixed with the neighs of various wild beasts, as if the entire green hills had been awakened.
At this time, the people in the village no longer wanted to sleep, and they all came out of their houses. They could not help but feel a little frightened when they heard the roars of wild beasts in the mountains and the barking of dogs in the courtyard.
At this time, Qingyang thought of his uncle's nagging under the locust tree, and looked at the full moon in the night sky that looked like it was covered with blood gauze. He felt a little scared in his heart, but his father was away all year round and only returned home at the end of the year. Now he was the only man at home. , but couldn't get distracted, he immediately helped his mother, entered the house, comforted her to sleep and then returned to the courtyard.
Seeing that the dog was still barking, Qingyang felt angry for some reason and grabbed the dog. The dog wanted to dodge, but he didn't know that Qingyang's speed and movements had been greatly improved after introducing Qi into his body twice. , the dog was caught in his hands.
At this time, the dog was still whining, baring its teeth and claws, trying to attack Qingyang.
Qingyang was shocked when he saw this. This dog is usually docile, but what happened today?
Looking at it, I saw that the dog's eyes were red, full of violence and resentment.
Qingyang looked into Gouzi's eyes and couldn't help but feel his heart sink. He thought of the stories about animals becoming spirits told by his uncle under the locust tree at the head of the village, and also thought of what Qingyuan had encountered them in the mountains just now.
"Are these animals going to become sperm?"
But didn’t my great-uncle say that in the Dharma-Ending Age, animals would never have the chance to become spirits?
Then he thought that the Nameless Boxing Sutra that he usually practiced was nothing special, but today he was able to draw Qi into his body.
If I can do it, can animals do it too?
Thinking of this, he wanted to slap the dog in his hand to death. After introducing Qi into his body twice, he felt that his strength had greatly increased, and he was confident to slap it to death.
But thinking that she and her mother had raised this dog for several years and had already developed feelings for it, she finally couldn't do it, so she found a rope and tied it up. She also tied its mouth with a rope to prevent it from barking any more and disturbing her mother. sleep.
After doing this, he threw the dog in the kennel, but he felt that the kennel seemed much smaller, and the dog seemed crowded in it.
