Chapter 2: Night of Fright (Part 2) Today's first update (Father's Day)
In an instant!
A chill, blood-curdling aura wafted over me, making me shudder involuntarily. Afterwards, I kept combing my hair, and the sachet in my left hand also sent waves of warmth to dispel the coldness within my body.
Because I didn't know the specific direction, I could only follow the monks' chanting voices and walk slowly. Before long, my clothes were soaked through. It wasn't my cold sweat, but the dampness in the air around me that made it so uncomfortable. The sticky feeling clung to my clothes and skin, making me feel very uneasy.
I'm constantly groping in this environment, following the sound to find Ye Yi and Fahua Master's trail. I have a feeling of walking on moss, every step is so muddy, the difference between lifting and putting down can only be proven by strength. Straining to lift, straining to put down, lifting to pull out my feet, putting down to stabilize myself. This feeling is extremely uncomfortable. The breathable air around me is abundant, but I clearly know that every breath will cause some harm to my body. The only thing I can rely on is the sachet given by my mother and the constant combing of my hair. When combing my hair, let the invisible flames on my head continue to burn, keeping my body clear and not being infected by the strange sounds and powers around me.
Even so, I still walked with great difficulty. As the sound got closer and closer, I started to feel that it was no longer a feeling of walking in the mud, but rather many hands tearing at my body. And there was also a feeling of being hit on my body! It was clear that I couldn't help but cry out.
I've started to learn my lesson, the pain has made me more alert and focused. I began swinging the sachet in my hand, repeatedly muttering "Om mani padme hum".
Just as I was about to take a step and almost came to a standstill, I suddenly heard a gunshot!
Right after that, the crackling sounds were endless. It was the sound of firecrackers! Who would set off firecrackers in the middle of the night? But no matter what, at the moment when the gunfire and firecracker sounds started, I almost shed tears. It was like a lifesaver! The fog around me dissipated instantly, and my line of sight could see from half a meter to several meters away. Only then did I realize that I had fallen into another "ghost hitting wall" situation - behind me, not far away, was the Moon Gate of the Scripture Pavilion.
Right after that, I heard Ye Yifeng's loud roar, the monks' thunderous chanting, and the firecrackers' deafening "boom boom" cheers! Then I heard the deputy captain's rough voice: "Ye Yifeng, Yang Guang, are you guys okay?"
This time, I followed the sound and ran a few steps before seeing the deputy captain. He actually brought these two people with him. One was Dr. Liu, the forensic doctor we had met before, and the other was a young man about my age. They were all wearing police uniforms. Each of them was holding a string of firecrackers in their hands. However, they were relatively small, far from being as deafening as those used at the Da Di Hong event.
I rushed over, laughing at him, affectionately: "Captain Wang, you're just in time."
Ye Yi and Dharma Master Fahua also walked out of the Great Hero Treasure Hall from the south, but there was not a hint of joy on their faces. On the contrary, they looked worried and anxious.
As soon as Ye saw the deputy captain, he asked: "How did you get here?"
As soon as I saw Ye was about to blow up, I hastily said: "It was me who called Captain Wang."
"Who are you?" Ye Yi looked at me incredulously, then shouted at me in a heavy tone, "Do you know what kind of trouble you've gotten yourself into?!"
I thought I was being kind-hearted. At that time, the only thing I could think of was to pull in external help to assist, how did it become my fault? I argued: "Wasn't I also doing it for you guys?"
"Amitabha Buddha, Yang Shizhu, your good intentions have caused trouble." Fahuadaoshi said to me with his hands clasped together.
Have I caused trouble? Have I gotten into trouble?
"Now you're dragging three innocent people into this. What if something happens to them? Are you prepared to take responsibility for the consequences?"
I dare not say I can undertake it. This is not a general matter, and it cannot be understood with general ideas, let alone resisted by killing people to compensate for life. So, I simply do not know how to answer this question.
Lotus Master said on the side, "Since you've come, let's first enter my temple. Three donors, since you've come, then rest assured. Even if there is a great calamity, my temple will help you bear it for now."
Liu Lao and the deputy captain were both worldly people who had experienced all sorts of strange events, so at this time they didn't force out any words. But that young police officer spoke proudly: "What are you doing? What's a 'disaster root'? We're the People's Police, this is feudal superstition."
The deputy captain and Liu Lao hadn't said anything yet, when Ye Yi glared at that kid and asked: "Was the fog you dispersed with your cannon just now normal?"
"That's just a coincidence!" said the little policeman.
"Haha, then go out and try it, if you don't die, come back."
Yeyisaid that, and the young policeman was afraid to be arrogant, looking pitifully at the deputy captain and saying: "Captain, look at them."
"Shut up, no one takes you for a mute."
Ye turned around and walked towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall, with everyone following behind him. Only Master Fahua politely gestured and said: "Please follow me."
I finally had the chance to ask Master Fahua: "What's going on?"
"Amitabha, we were just about to capture that Rakshasa with Ye Shi's help. But these three donors suddenly broke the formation and now we're being captured by the Rakshasa instead."
I just realized the severity of the situation and said: "Sorry, I thought you were at a stalemate. That's why..."
"Don't blame yourself, Yang Shi Zhu can already feel it with his intuition, which is not easy. It's just that our temple and Ye Shi Zhu are at a stalemate with the Raksha, we think that only when the morning sun breaks through the dawn can we truly make a move. It's just that we lost an opportunity, wait until dawn and the Raksha's siege outside the temple will naturally disperse."
"What's their relationship with Wang?" I asked.
"Originally, it didn't matter. The three people who just broke open the trapped array will inevitably be regarded as objects of hatred by Luo Sha. Fireworks have a strong deterrent and lethal effect on yin-yang creatures, which will inevitably affect it. Luo Sha remembers grudges, these three people will inevitably be entangled by Luo Sha, although not to the point of death, but it's hard to avoid unexpected injuries."
Lotus Flower said up to here, the deputy captain suddenly interrupted and said: "Yang Guang, I dropped a file today and found something strange."
I turned to ask the deputy captain: "Oh, what did you find?"
Deputy Captain said, "Aren't you going to check out the other three crime scenes? I investigated the files and found that the time of death for all three families was around 7 o'clock in the evening. What's even more coincidental is that including this fourth family's child, all of them are Dragons, born in February. And what's even stranger is that all four deceased children were born on February 2nd, Lunar Dragon Head Raising Day."
Ye stopped in his tracks and turned around to ask the deputy captain, "Is what you said true?"
The deputy captain said: "I found it strange because of this matter, so I paid attention to it."
Ye Yi stood at the entrance of the Dahongbao Hall and said to Master Fahua: "Fahua, I think we may have taken a wrong direction!"
The Lotus Master also nodded and said, "If what the police officer said is true, then it's really wrong. Rakshasa doesn't appear alone, and the dragon may exist in this city."
The two policemen who heard Ye Yi and Fahua's conversation were both incredulous and stunned. It was too incredible, were there really dragons?
