Chapter 71 The Golden Cicada Escapes
At the foot of the mountain, in heavy rain.
Li Siyu knelt on his knees. In front of him were the incense burner, standing incense, and tribute fruits, as well as the Buddhist niche and the clay statue placed in it.
Her whole body was already wet from the rain, and the exquisite Hanfu on her body was full of mud spots.
But these did not make her leave, but made her voice become more firm: "Zhang Hao, come back quickly! Come back quickly! Zhang Hao, come back..."
After chanting these words for a while, Li Siyu took advantage of the opportunity to breathe and raised his head, looking at the lush mountains that seemed to be full of dangers everywhere.
"Zhang Hao, come back quickly..."
Li Siyu lowered his eyebrows, and the worry in his eyes became more and more obvious.
She naturally knew what the two police officers said. The vicious murderer was now in the mountains, maybe near Zhang Hao, or he might have already encountered Zhang Hao.
Without knowing where Zhang Hao is now and what kind of situation he is in, anything can happen.
In addition, the clay statue suddenly cracked, which made her even more worried.
After all, cracking a clay statue is a bad thing.
He raised his head, looked at the clay statue with those moving eyes, and murmured to himself: "Zhang Hao, you must come back..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Siyu's pupils shrank sharply.
Click, click, click...
She stared at the clay statue placed in the Buddhist niche. The crack between her eyebrows became wider and wider, extending all the way down to the bottom.
In the blink of an eye, the clay statue seemed to be split from the middle, split into two, and fell to both sides.
Li Siyu's expression was dull, and then he was stunned. His body tilted to the side, and the lid in his hand immediately dragged his hands. The heavy rain fell into the incense burner instantly, soaking the incense sticks.
However, the standing incense did not go out immediately.
Without the cover, the white smoke from the three incense sticks slowly rose into the sky, gathered in front of Li Siyu's eyes, and then gradually dispersed. But after the large cloud of smoke dispersed, a strange pattern emerged. The strange thing was that , the pattern is like a humanoid outline!
Li Siyu was completely stunned, his pupils seemed to have been shaken, and he stared blankly at the face outlined by the smoke.
But it only lasted for a second, and the smoke dissipated on its own, the standing incense was completely extinguished, and the incense burner was even wetted by the rain.
The clay statue split in the middle...
The standing incense went out and the incense burner was wet by the rain...
Li Siyu sat slumped on the ground, staring blankly in front of him without any movement.
She didn't know what it meant after what happened.
She doesn't know, and she doesn't know.
She just raised her head and looked at the mountains, her eyes full of worry.
……
In the mountains.
Zhang Hao's pupils shrank, and the leading fox jumped towards the clay statue with a fierce look in his eyes. Then, he directly carved the clay statue with his mouth and held it in his mouth.
"Zhizhizhi~"
The leading fox barked loudly, as if to show off that it had completed its mission.
The other foxes echoed one after another and made the same noise.
Then, the leading fox took the clay statue and left with all the foxes.
Shashasha——
When the voices of the foxes became farther and farther away, Zhang Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, and the tension and anxiety in his heart disappeared.
He slumped down on the weeds, breathing heavily. Tick tock...
At this time, the heavy rain that had been falling suddenly stopped, leaving only the rain falling from the surrounding branches and leaves.
He looked up at the tree-shaded sky in confusion, clicked his tongue, and muttered: "The rain has stopped, which means that the fox's marriage is completely over... Phew, it's finally over."
< br>
Zhang Hao's tense thoughts relaxed and dispersed.
The move he just used is a life-saving skill that mountain walkers can use in times of crisis.
However, the conditions for the implementation of this life-saving skill are relatively harsh and require preparation in advance. It also requires the right location and people, and it also requires the cooperation of the outside world.
To put it simply, this life-saving skill is to use a clay statue of your own appearance that has been pinched in advance and place it somewhere. Then the spirits in the mountain and the wild monsters in the mountain will regard the clay statue as the real body, so they will Make wrong judgments.
It is a way for the golden cicada to escape from its shell.
If you want to implement this method in a crisis, you need to arrange the Five Elements Reversal Method in advance and use it at the center of the Five Elements Reversal Method's Gate of Life and Gate of Death.
This is the location.
This is not over yet. This life-saving skill requires placing a similar clay statue outside, using that clay statue to help the real body ward off disasters, and the clay statue placed outside needs to be worshiped for at least three days. With some It takes connection and spirituality.
This is harmony.
These steps are indispensable. If one step is missing or a certain point is not done well, then these life-saving skills cannot be used.
The consequence was that those foxes ignored the clay statue at all, but came directly to his body, skinned him alive, and then took the [Thunder Tribulation Wood] back.
Fortunately, it went smoothly. He was not discovered and deceived the foxes. He also had some breathing time and could rest for the time being.
Fortunately, he was well prepared, otherwise, it's hard to say whether he would be able to run away this time.
After relaxing a little, Zhang Hao couldn't help but think about what was wrong before.
After all, the current situation is quite complicated. It is not a good idea to leave here rashly before you understand the reason why you entered that bizarre state.
He frowned slightly, recalling that before he woke up, he clearly heard Li Siyu's voice. What was certain was that it was Li Siyu who was summoning his soul and calling him back.
So, he woke up because he heard Li Siyu's soul summoning?
Maybe so.
But what happened to my situation that seemed to be a dream and hallucination?
Judging from his various experiences so far, it seems that there is really no way to explain all of this.
Could it be that he stayed with the fox for too long?
Or is it because of the problem with the Five Elements Reversal method?
Or maybe... because the fox is getting married, the mountain elves and wild monsters are extremely active?
Zhang Hao sat on the ground and looked up into the depths of the forest, his eyes a little helpless and a little ridiculous.
Although he thought about it for a while, he still couldn't figure out whether it was a dream or an illusion.
But no matter what, the current situation is pretty good.
The foxes took the clay statue away, and he also got the [Thunder Tribulation Wood].
In general, the first time he participated in a fox wedding was within ten days of officially becoming a mountain walker. It was also the second time he walked in the mountains that he encountered such a big thing as a fox marriage.
If it were other mountain walkers, they might not be able to do what he did the second time they walked up the mountain.
He stood up, shook his aching head, and sighed silently.
Forget it, ignore it for the moment, whether it was a hallucination or a dream, it is not that important to him at the moment.
He didn't think too much about this issue. He turned to look in the direction where the foxes left and thought for a moment.
The method of escaping the mud statue won't take too long. The foxes are indeed not very intelligent, but they are by no means fools. Before the foxes realize that it is not the real body but the mud statue, it is better to go down the mountain quickly. .
Then, without hesitation, he took the Spiritual Basket and turned around, heading down the mountain.
