Chapter 48 The five elements are reversed, the fox gets married!
Phew~
In the forest, a dark wind blew, making the leaves rustle.
Zhang Hao looked into the distance, watching the embers of the setting sun fill the western sky.
Counting the time, it should be almost 6 o'clock.
We can't delay it any longer.
Thinking like this, he stepped forward and followed the slope at his feet, all the way down.
The mountains and forests are getting darker. Starting from the east, darkness is shrouding it bit by bit, as if something invisible is constantly chasing and swallowing.
Zhang Hao was leaning on crutches and walking slowly and slowly. Sometimes he looked up and looked at the marks he had left on the surrounding trees. Sometimes he lowered his head and looked at the straw sandals under his feet to see if they were damaged.
When walking in the mountains and forests, if the straw sandals under your feet show signs of damage, it means that you are being teased by mountain spirits and wild monsters, or that your current state is a little bad and something bad is happening to you.
However, for now, there should be no problem.
Walking like this, he followed the marks left all the way to the depths of the dense forest, where there were dense weeds and lush trees. In front of him, there was a winding path that extended deep into the forest.
Zhang Hao had specially explored this trail two days ago.
On the path, he found a lot of fox-like footprints. After walking along these footprints for a long time, he arrived at the clearing.
Judging from the records in ancient books, that open space is most likely the place where foxes get married.
Therefore, Zhang Hao placed the five things he collected with the open space as the center.
And those five things each have their own magical uses.
The main gold of the killing sword was placed due east.
The main wood of the tomb was placed due north.
The widow's tears hold water and are placed due west.
The main fire of Shijia Hui was placed due south.
The shroud is placed in the center.
This is a method of reversing the Five Elements, which can force the yang energy of the person who casts the spell out of the body, allowing the yin energy to enter the body and nourish the body.
To put it simply, Zhang Hao, who is a living person, becomes a "dead person" in a short period of time, or in other words, has no breath of life.
This is just one of the functions of the Five Elements Reversal Method. It is not the most important thing, but it is not used yet. However, the presence of these Five Elements can be regarded as a great guarantee and can play a big role at critical times. .
Entering the mountains in advance and staying for a long time is also to allow him to be tainted with the atmosphere of the mountains and forests, to better integrate into the mountains, to become a member of the mountains, and to make the mountain spirits mistakenly think that he is also a mountain spirit.
Now, after his actions, he has been tainted with enough aura of the mountain and has been recognized by the spirit of the mountain.
As long as this method of reversing the five elements is added, he can truly transform from a living person into a spirit in the mountains.
Of course, it is not a fundamental change, but an external change, and it is only in a short period of time.
As long as Zhang Hao subsequently destroys or takes away the method of reversing the Five Elements, his method of concealing his aura will be useless, and he will still be alive.
And his purpose for doing this...
Thoughts flashed.
Phew~
In the mountain forest, a dark wind suddenly blew through, the leaves rustled, and the weeds were blown to the ground.
What was originally just a dark dense forest suddenly turned pitch black, making it almost impossible to see even one's fingertips.
Dark, quiet, without any sound, it's like being in a silent world, a new world opened up.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao didn't feel any panic, let alone any surprise.
This is...
The idea just came up.
Right in front of his eyes, several indescribable green flames rose faintly.
It's very unexpected, but it seems like it should be that way.
Zhang Hao took a deep breath and stood motionless. Even his breathing became very light.
Immediately afterwards, the green will-o'-the-wisp spread outwards, appearing and flashing suddenly.
Even, three will-o'-the-wisps appeared one after another beside Zhang Hao. In an instant, Zhang Hao quickly held his breath, with a little sweat on his forehead.
Sudden.
The green will-o'-the-wisp turned into a raging flame and suddenly rose into the air.
And the green will-o'-the-wisp turned into an ordinary fire!
No...why, how could a will-o'-the-wisp turn into a normal burning flame?
This will-o'-the-wisp is the will-o'-the-wisp that foxes use when they get married. It is used to guide the way and to identify whether there are living people nearby on the wedding road.
If there are living people, the foxes will guide the mountain spirits and wild monsters to disperse them, or even completely trap them in the mountains.
Generally, the will-o'-the-wisp will not change color unless there is any abnormality. The will-o'-the-wisp will only change color if it detects the presence of living people around it.
According to common sense, there shouldn't be any changes if the will-o'-the-wisp is wrapped around you at this time.
Because he has laid down the method of reversal of the five elements, and he has also set the formation eye at his feet. The method of reversal of the five elements has been activated, so he should be considered a "dead man".
But this will-o'-the-wisp...
If those foxes appear, they will definitely pay attention when they see the flames around them.
At that time, not only will his plan be completely aborted, but he will also be in danger.
Could it be that there is something on him?
Or...
After a short period of time, the will-o'-the-wisp suddenly returned to normal.
Um?
This...
Why is it back to normal again?
Zhang Hao still held his breath, not daring to relax at all.
Phew~
The dark wind swept through the mountain forest, and the rustling of the leaves seemed to turn into a strange melody, echoing in the dark and strange mountain forest.
At the end of the path in front of him, a cloud of mist appeared out of thin air.
The layers of mist that first rose were inaccessible and impossible to see through. It was like a door to another world and a place of reincarnation leading to death.
Boom, boom, boom...
In the strange, quiet and unknown mountains and forests, Zhang Hao could hear the beating of his own heart. The rhythm was getting faster and stronger.
He controlled his breathing as much as possible to prevent himself from revealing too much of a living person.
His eyes were staring straight into the fog, as if something indescribable would appear in the fog the next second.
Ta Ta Ta Ta~
At this time, the sound of footsteps suddenly started.
There seemed to be something stirring in the mist, causing the mist to disperse in all directions.
His eyes widened and his expression was grim.
Two foxes.
The first ones to step out of the mist were two foxes walking upright!
The two foxes were dressed in red clothes and had red hats on their heads. One fox held a smaller suona in his hand, and the other fox held a smaller gong and drum in his hand. They just walked out of the mist. .
Zhang Hao's hair stood on end, his pupils shrank, his heart beat faster and faster, and he almost couldn't control his breathing.
These two foxes looked like humans, except for their sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, faces covered with orange fluff, and two paws holding musical instruments.
No matter the expression, posture, or even every move, they are exactly the same as human beings!
This is simply the scene that most evokes the "uncanny valley" effect!
Zhang Hao suppressed the surprise in his heart and the fear he suppressed with all his strength. His eyes did not move and he continued to look at the mist.
It was also at this time.
The two foxes suddenly stopped and stood on both sides of the winding path.
The fox holding the suona held the suona in his hands and put it in his mouth.
The fox holding the gongs and drums held the gongs and drums in both hands, already ready.
Didi Latala~
Bang, bang, bang~
The next second, a suona sound resounded in the mountains and forests, as well as festive gongs and drums.
