Chapter 69 Lost Soul
"Tell the man to go home?"
Aunt Wang's expression paused and she stood there, looking at the running back, feeling a little confused: "Tell the man to go home? That boy from the Zhang family? That's not right... aren't they married yet?"< br>
"Yes...yes, why is Siyu so affectionate?" Aunt Li smacked the taste of these words.
Then, she was stunned and blurted out: "Oh, by the way, have you not seen that boy from the Zhang family for several days?"
Aunt Wang nodded: "Yes, where did that boy go? Looking at the direction Siyu ran, it couldn't be the mountain, right?"
"It's really possible. Didn't that kid say he wanted to walk in the mountains from the beginning? Wouldn't that kid just keep walking in the mountains and never come back? That mountain is..." Aunt Li muttered.
"And I heard that there are still fugitives in the mountains recently!"
Aunt Wang interrupted quickly and glared at her: "Stop talking nonsense and go home quickly. This heavy rain is really disappointing."
……
It's drizzling and the mountain fog is curling up.
The closer you get to the foot of the mountain, the mist becomes hazier. From a distance, it looks like green mountains appear in a painting, while from a closer look, it looks like mountains and rivers become ink.
The unique beauty of oriental artistic conception was originally the favorite of a classical-loving woman like Li Siyu, but now she is no longer in the mood to appreciate it.
All the way to the foot of the mountain, Li Siyu simply wiped the rain from his cheeks with his sleeves that had already been soaked by the rain.
Then, put the basket under your body, use your upper body to block the rain, and open the lid of the box.
First, he took out a simple wooden Buddhist niche and placed it on the ground, and then carefully placed the clay statue inside the Buddhist niche.
Holding the lid to protect her from the rain, she took out the incense burner, incense sticks, tribute fruits and other worship objects from the basket.
Use a basket to block the rain with one hand, insert three standing incense sticks into the incense burner with the other hand, and light the standing incense sticks.
Looking at the white smoke of the standing incense gradually dispersing in the rain and fog, she took a deep breath, looked towards the mountain, and used the method taught by Zhang Hao before, murmuring: "Huiwu Mountain Station, Spirits line up on both sides, and souls from thousands of miles away rush into the body..."
After reciting this mantra, she immediately raised her head, looked at the mountains in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Hao, come back quickly! Zhang Hao, come back quickly..."
The sound echoed, faintly carried into the distance, but seemed to be hidden into the sound of the rain that was getting louder.
……
"What sound?"
"It's raining, who's talking?"
At the same time, not far away from the foot of the mountain, there were two police officers wearing black raincoats, each holding a baton in their hands, looking towards this side curiously.
"There, it seems to be a woman."
"What is that woman...doing?"
The tall, thin police officer wearing thin-rimmed glasses was stunned and said doubtfully.
Another mellow police officer narrowed his eyes: "I don't know, it looks like they are worshiping something. I think there seems to be a Buddhist niche, an incense burner and so on..."
"Buddhist niche? Incense burner? Braving the heavy rain, come here to worship the mountain?" The tall and thin police officer shook his head and laughed: "Oh, I really don't understand these so-called feudal superstitions, alas..."
He hesitated for a moment.
The tall and thin police officer turned around and walked towards the woman's back.
"Hey, why are you going!"
Police Officer Yuanrun was stunned and followed him. When he came behind the woman, the tall and thin police officer was startled. He didn't expect that the woman was so young and beautiful. This was extremely rare in the mountain village.
He asked: "Are you a villager here? It's raining so heavily. What are you doing here?"
Li Siyu stopped mumbling, turned around and looked at the two police officers standing behind him: "My man has entered the mountain."
The two police officers looked at each other.
The man has entered the mountain... So, she is praying here?
The tall and thin police officer did not ask further questions, but solemnly reminded: "It's dangerous in the mountains. The criminals who escaped yesterday haven't been caught yet. It's best to get this man back quickly and don't stay in the mountains any longer." Li Siyu nodded. , and became increasingly worried.
The two police officers did not stay long, as they still had tasks to attend to and left in a hurry. Only the sound could be heard intermittently.
"Hurry up and think about how to catch the murderer. There has been no news for several days. The director called me eight times a day!"
The tall and thin police officer sighed and complained: "What's the use of being anxious? It's not that we don't want to catch him, but the mountain is too big and we can't find any traces at all! Besides, whoever is not anxious, we brothers are all the same Have a good sleep all day.”
Police Officer Yuanrun smiled helplessly: "We have this time to complain, so why not hurry up and find the murderer? The sooner we catch the murderer, the sooner we can all feel at ease."
Jingle bell bell.
The words just fell.
There was a rapid ringing of the phone.
Officer Yuanrun was stunned and hurriedly ran to a big tree to take shelter from the rain. He then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked at the internal phone number of the bureau on the screen. He picked up the call without hesitation.
"This is the police center. We just received a call from the suspected criminal suspect Liu Wenchang. He said he was on the mountain behind Zhaojiacun!"
……
On the tree-lined path leading to the mountain, the humidity, sultry heat, and cramped space ceased to exert pressure all the time, and also disturbed Zhang Hao's thoughts and emotions.
The sound of rain, thunder, and all kinds of messy sounds intertwined together, lingering in his ears, and always intruding on his remaining patience.
What went wrong?
From leaving home, all the way to the mountains.
According to his own speculation, no matter which possibility it was, he needed to go back to the mountains to take a look and verify his inner thoughts.
Judging from the current situation, if Li Siyu cannot see or hear himself speaking, that means that he may be in a disembodied state. To put it simply, his soul is out of body.
That is what old people often say when they lose their soul and need someone to call it back.
Because he thought about it, only this situation would prevent Li Siyu from seeing and hearing.
However, if he really had an out-of-body experience, how could he push open the door and open the door?
The soul has never been physical.
Another possibility is that he has always been immersed in hallucinations. He may have encountered a fox trap while running down the mountain, or some kind of mountain spirit monster, which caused him to fall into some kind of hallucination.
If it was an hallucination, it would be easier to explain. Everything he saw was an illusion, unreal, and all imagined out of thin air.
And if you want to break the illusion, it's easy to say it's easy, it's easy to say it's simple.
However, he now needs to find a way to verify which state he is in, whether he is in a hallucination or has lost his soul. Only by finding his own state can he use the most appropriate method according to his state.
Running all the way, stepping over weeds, walking through dense forests, and stepping over stones, Zhang Hao followed the path down the mountain all the way up.
"Zhizhizhi~"
At this time, the fox's cry suddenly sounded in his ears.
Zhang Hao suddenly jumped up and immediately stopped, as if falling into an ice cave.
Not good...
There's a fox nearby!
You don't need to think about it to know that the foxes may have already realized that the mountain treasure was lost, and they have also seen through that Liu Wenchang is not the one who stole the mountain treasure, so there are foxes all over the mountains and fields looking for the scent of the mountain treasure.
Want to catch him.
But now his physical condition is very strange, and he doesn't even understand his condition. If he encounters a fox at this time... the consequences will be disastrous, and his hiking career may end here.
You have to... you have to think of a good way in a short time.
Also, he needs to verify some of his inner thoughts as soon as possible.
He didn't hesitate and continued up the mountain along the original path.
Just when he bypassed the dense forest in front of him and came to the corner leading to the depths of the dense forest, Zhang Hao's expression suddenly stopped, his feet could no longer walk, and his eyes stared straight at That tree-lined path is a bit weird, but looks normal.
I saw "Zhang Hao" sitting next to a big tree on the tree-lined path, with a dull and calm expression. His eyes were open, but there was no light in them. His body was motionless, letting the rain wash away. He looked very... It's peaceful, but also full of unacceptable weirdness.
