Chapter 14 The wolf worships the moon (the end of the first volume)
"Qimen Dunjia" is all described in obscure language. Lin Junxuan looked at it for a while and felt tiredness coming, and soon he fell asleep.
"Ao!"
At midnight, when Lin Junxuan was sleeping hazy, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of wolf howlings. Opening his eyes, Lin Junxuan lay on the bed and listened. The howling sounded like a wolf rather than a wolf. The place where the sound came seemed not far from where my aunt lived.
"Is that a jackal?" Lin Junxuan thought in his heart, but in his mind he remembered the warning from his aunt before going to bed. His curiosity was not very strong, but for some reason, he always felt a little weird tonight. He looked out the window with his head tilted to look out the window. The moonlight like snow fell from the window. Only then did Lin Junxuan remember that today was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar this month.
The night was as dark as ink, and the howling outside the window soon stopped. Just as Lin Junxuan was about to fall asleep again, a sudden burst of sound came from outside the room. The sound seemed to be coming directly toward this place. From the sound, three to five should be rushing towards this place. Lin Junxuan moved his heart, lifted the quilt, put on his clothes, and walked quickly under the window. As soon as he walked under the window, three animals that looked like wolves but not wolves, dogs but not dogs were flew past the window. When Lin Junxuan walked to the window, he happened to see a glimpse of a green cold light flashing in their eyes.
"Ao!"
A long howl came from the deep night, and the howls pierced into the depths of darkness like a sharp arrow. Soon howls around, like summoning, and as if responding to each other. Lin Junxuan looked at the jackals under the moon, howling and disappearing into the darkness, and suddenly felt an impulse in his heart.
"Go and see." Lin Junxuan said in his heart, as if something was attracting him. He felt that something extraordinary was going to happen today. He put on his clothes and was about to leave, his eyes flew over the "Qimen Dunjia" beside his pillow. A strange feeling surged in his heart. Lin Junxuan always felt that everything was strange tonight. After thinking about it, Lin Junxuan walked back, picked up the ancient book and put it in his arms, then gently pushed open the door and walked out.
The night was quiet, and the full moon hung high in the sky. Under the moonlight, mountains stood in the darkness, hideous and tall. Lin Junxuan walked out of the house and quickly chased after the three jackals disappeared. The bright light was very bright, and Lin Junxuan's eyes could barely catch up with the three galloping shadows under the moon.
"Howl!" The howling of the jackals came from all directions, and the howling was getting closer and closer. The three jackals Lin Junxuan followed ran very quickly, and at the beginning they were still in sight. When they accelerated, they disappeared from Lin Junxuan's vision.
Howlings in the night came one after another, and the jackals in several mountains seemed to be gathering in one direction, escaping the howlings. Lin Junxuan walked quickly in the night. He was not afraid at all. He pushed the weeds all the way away and followed them forward. I don’t know how long after, the howlings in front suddenly disappeared, and the jackals seemed to have disappeared in the empty space, leaving only waves of lingering sounds from the distant hills. Lin Junxuan knew something was wrong in front of him, so he slowed down. Lowered his body, Lin Junxuan slowly leaned over. A few minutes later, Lin Junxuan pushed away the grass, and a lush tree in front stood in the darkness. Next to the woods was a drying ground paved with gravel, soil, and lime. After collecting the millet, people in the mountains would spread the millet on it to dry and then collect it.
Under the moonlit night, Lin Junxuan clearly saw dense jackals lined up in circles, with their front legs bent and their hind legs stretched out. They knelt on the dry valley floor in a pious posture, motionless. In the middle of these jackals, a strong wolf dog, with a circle of white wolves standing high above the moonlit night. Its eyes emitted a cold light, patrolling its people like a king.
"This is a jackal king!" Lin Junxuan said in his heart as he looked at the wolf king standing under the moonlit night. At this moment, the white hair on the neck of the wolf king shook, and his head raised his head and let out a loud howl again. As soon as the howling stopped, the howling sounded the howling sounded from other jackals sounded deep in the mountains, as if responding to the call of this 'king'.
Lin Junxuan poked his head out, and through the long weeds, he saw a series of agile black shadows rushing from all directions.
Lin Junxuan was watching attentively, suddenly smelling a feminine fragrance. He looked back suddenly and saw a familiar figure squatting behind him. Seeing Lin Junxuan turn around, the man smiled slightly at him.
"Why are you here?" Lin Junxuan looked at Du Ruoyao and frowned deeply. He never expected that Du Ruoyao would follow him secretly.
"I can't get used to sleeping here, and I haven't fallen asleep until midnight. I happened to hear something in your room and find you suddenly ran out. I was curious and followed," Du Ruoyao said. She was wearing a pajamas and a coat on her outside. She was obviously in a hurry and didn't have time to change her clothes.
"Go back quickly, this place is not suitable for you, it's too dangerous." Lin Junxuan said.
"I heard the screams, that's a jackal. I've never seen a jackal, so let me see it. I'm not afraid, and didn't my aunt say that? Jackals don't eat people." Du Ruoyao said.
Lin Junxuan was about to say something, but suddenly saw the jackal king's long straight ears trembling. He guessed that it had heard something, so he quickly stretched out a finger to put it on his lips to stop Du Ruoyao from talking. Both of them held their breath and remained motionless. When Lin Junxuan nodded, Du Ruoyao tiptoed to Lin Junxuan and lay down. The two of them lay in the grass and looked at the group of jackals gathered by the woods.
Both of them were confused and didn't understand what the group of jackals gathered here in the middle of the night. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they were not for food.
It was quiet in the wilderness, only the sound of the wind blowing through the grass. By the woods, the wolves stood on the turf and stood motionless, while Lin Junxuan and Du Ruoyao were also motionless in the grass. That night, everything was strange.
Half an hour later, there was no more howling of jackals in the dark night, and all the jackals nearby seemed to have rushed over. The wolf king shook his fur and raised his head and let out a long howl.
"Ao!"
The jackals lying on the ground seemed to have heard some order, and stood up one by one, raising their necks and echoing a loud roar. The roars came one after another, like waves gathering, responding to the howl of the jackal king.
"Ao!" In the dark night, the sound of jackals came from far away. In the mountains, lights were lit up by households, but no one walked out of the house. In the countryside, lighting the lights on such a night seemed to be a custom that has been passed down from a long time ago.
"Ao!"
There was another howl. When the jackal king heard the howl, a group of jackals suddenly separated from the surrounding wolves. A team consisted of dozens of jackals and rushed out neatly and orderly. Both of them were startled behind the grass and then found that the dozens of jackals were directly pounced on a protruding black shadow beside the woods. After a segment of the jackals, they surrounded the tree from the protruding black shadow behind, and then their sharp front paws were plucked at the same time, and a large amount of soil was thrown away.
"Why do they dig that hill?" Du Ruoyao lowered her voice and said in Lin Ruoxuan's ear. Her voice was a little trembling. Everything here obviously made her feel a little scared. The only one who made her barely calm was the quiet boy beside her.
"No, that's not a hill," Lin Junxuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "That's a pile of graves!" People in the mountains are buried, unlike people in the city who can cremate. After burying, they are left with piles of graves.
"Ah!" Du Ruoyao exclaimed, and a gust of wind blew over the heads of the two, suppressing her voice. In the mountains, there were many trees, many grasses, and many rocks. When the wind blew through these places, sometimes the sound was like a human voice.
"Shh! Just look, don't talk." Lin Junxuan whispered. His calmness and voice seemed to have an invisible magic, which made Du Ruoyao quickly quiet. The two of them lay in the grass without saying a word, watching quietly.
Dozens of jackals were plucked together, and the grave was quickly dug flat and dug. After a few minutes, a jackal suddenly rushed into the bottom of the grave, holding his mouth and throwing it, and a black thing flew out from the ground. The black thing fell down and was jumped up by the other jackal, and threw it up with his head, one by one, constantly throwing the things dug out from the ground. With the bright moonlight, the two of them clearly saw that it was a human skull!!
A rapid breathing sounded from beside him. Lin Junxuan turned around and found that Lin Ruoyao opened her eyes in horror. Her chest was undulating rapidly, and her hands tightly covered her mouth. Everything in front of her was beyond her imagination. Lin Junxuan shook his head in his heart. He felt strange and a little scared about this situation. After all, he had never seen such a scene before, but he remained calm because there was a weak woman next to her, even though this woman was high-profile.
"It's just a skull, nothing scary." Lin Junxuan patted Du Ruoyao on the shoulder, comforting her not to be afraid. At the same time, he pointed to the direction of his aunt's house behind him, signaling her to go back. Although the moon was as full as a plate, it was not during the day after all. Although it was only a distance, it still looked dark. Everything was connected into one and hidden in the darkness. The intermittent sound of the wind could be heard. When Du Ruoyao saw the jackal digging graves and skulls, she felt extremely terrifying. All the dark things made her afraid of her. She could tell where she was my aunt's house. She would not dare to go back alone if she was beaten to death.
Seeing that her whole body was trembling and she had no intention of leaving, Lin Junxuan ignored her.
Under the moonlit night, jackals and wolves howled and jumped up. Their voices seemed a little excited, as if they were having a grand celebration. After a while, the white skull fell to the feet of the Jackal King. The two eye sockets of the skull were hollow. Looking at the sky, their jaws were wide open and looked quite terrifying.
"howl!--"
The Jackal King howled, and the dense jackals around him lowered their heads respectfully. The Jackal King glanced around like a king, then lowered his head, opened his canine teeth, bit the skull at his feet, and swung his head, and the skull was thrown into the air. The moonlight fell on the skull, which also plated the skull with a layer of frosty silvery white. Under the skull, the Jackal King stepped on his front legs and suddenly stood up, his head rolling towards the skull skull rolling in the air, making a desolate howl-
"Ao!"
The moonlight was like washing, and under the moonlight, the Jackal King stood up, and around them, all the Jackal King lay on the ground, kneeling and worshiping. However, this time, the object of their worship was not the Jackal King, but the skull in the air and the bright moon in the sky.
"call!--"
The wind roared in the wilderness, and the originally bright earth suddenly became dark. Lin Junxuan raised his head and saw the dark clouds in the sky suddenly rolling up, covering the direction of the bright moon from all directions. And the edge of the bright moon suddenly appeared a circle of black, and the moonlight quickly became dim. The circle of darkness "eating" the moon at an astonishing speed. In just a moment, the moon completely became pitch black, leaving only a circle of extremely thin waning moon hanging high in the air on the edge.
"Moon Eclipse!"——" Looking at the vision in the sky, Lin Junxuan subconsciously passed by a noun in his mind. The phenomenon that occurs when the moon moves into the shadow of the earth usually occurs when the full moon is full!
This thought remains in my mind, and what happened the next moment completely overturned Lin Junxuan’s perception:
Just as the moon was left at the edge of the moon, a circular beam of light was cast from the surroundings of the moon, straight through the dark void, and landed on the flying skull. The moment the moon beam passed, the skull suddenly emitted a transparent green light, and then stopped strangely in the air without moving. Circles of water-like ripples spread to all directions with the green skull hanging high in the air. The whole world suddenly became quiet in an instant, and the eyes of the jackals were concentrated on the skull.
"Wow!" In the grass, Lin Junxuan stood up like a demon. He stood in the weeds without caring about the eyes of the jackals.
"What are you doing? Squat down quickly!" Du Ruoyao was anxious. She never expected Lin Junxuan to suddenly stand up at this time. Everything here was strange, which made her feel strongly uneasy and fearful. She grabbed Lin Junxuan's hand tightly, for fear that he would go out, even though it was useless to cover it up at this time.
"Let go," Lin Junxuan's voice came from the top of her head. Du Ruoyao raised her head and saw the young man who was admiring in her heart looking at her calmly. 'Do he know what he is doing?' Seeing those calm eyes, a thought that made her feel crazy flashed through Du Ruoyao's mind. What made her even more crazy was that she actually let go of her hand because of the devil.
The jackals who were originally crawling on the ground had discovered these two peepers now. The jackals and wolves were staring at the human boy walking not far away. Lin Junxuan was calm in his expression, and there was no fear in his heart. The moment he saw the strange skull in the air, a strong thought suddenly arose in Lin Junxuan's heart: "Go over and grab him!" Once this thought arose, it became like a prairie fire-this is uncontrollable - this is an unexplainable intuition! Lin Junxuan believed in his intuition.
Pulling away the grass, Lin Junxuan walked over step by step...
"Zo!" Seeing a human teenager approaching, the dense pack of jackals on the sun-drying ground turned their heads, with their teeth emitting cold light in their eyes. Ordinary people would have retreated long ago if they saw it.
Facing the hostile wolves, Lin Junxuan had no look of fear on his face. He looked calm and stared at the wolves opposite him, slowly leaning down. When a ferocious dog leaned down, he often made frightened sounds and then ran away quickly. In the explanation of the mountain people, when the dog saw the human being leaned down, he often regarded the other person as his own kind. Dogs often feared the same kind with larger size than their own. Jackals and dogs had the same habits.
Lin Junxuan slowly leaned down, and at the same time, the originally peaceful eyes emitted a terrifying cold light. This cold light was more terrifying than the light in the eyes of the jackals. When the jackals touched Lin Junxuan's gaze, they were as if they saw a person who was larger and more cruel than their own body, and they all avoided them with frightened eyes.
The strong prey on the weak is the law of survival in nature and is also suitable for the wolves. Lin Junxuan's eyes swept across the wolves one by one, and no wolve could stare at him from his eyes.
"Ruoyao, leave here!" Lin Junxuan bent down and advised Du Ruoyao in the grass. The calm tone made the latter understand that the seemingly crazy young man in front of him fully understand what he was doing. That kind of calmness is even more terrifying than madness!
The jackals and wolves made a sound of their teeth disappearing under Lin Junxuan's terrifying gaze. The jackals and wolves whimpered, turned away. They did not dare to look at Lin Junxuan's gaze. They stood up with satisfaction. Lin Junxuan stepped forward again, and the jackals and wolves whimpered, making frightened sounds, and retreated one after another.
"Ao!"
After a howl, the jackals suddenly parted, and a circle of white wolves on their necks walked slowly over with light steps. Lin Junxuan did not stop. He looked at the eyes of the jackal king with a layer of silver on his body, and walked forward along the passage given out by the jackals.
The Jackal King stared at the young man in front of him with green eyes, and Lin Junxuan did not let him go, staring at the Jackal King tightly. The noble aura raised by long-term reading of sages played a role at this moment. His spirit was perfect. The Jackal King stared at his eyes. In the eyes of this human boy, it did not see fear, only an irreversible will like steel. This will has never been felt by humans. It is so powerful that the Jackal King felt that his spirit gradually dissipated in the face of the steel will. It could not resist the strong will of this young man. This will is as vast as heaven and earth, and irresistible!
"Woo!~" The white hair that was shaking on the neck of the Jackal King drooped softly. It lowered its head and made a low whimpering sound from its mouth. Lin Junxuan stepped forward, but it retreated step by step. Lin Junxuan went forward, but it took two steps back, as if an invisible giant blade was pressing against it in the air, forcing it.
"Woo!~" With a wailing cry, the Jackal King finally lowered his head and retreated to the side. There was no obstacle between Lin Junxuan and the skull. Lin Junxuan walked forward, and the jackals looked at him one by one, their eyes moved with his pace, but no jackal came out to stop him.
Lin Junxuan quietly looked at the skull in the air. The skull was within reach. When he approached it, he found that it looked very supernatural. Without any hesitation, the next moment, Lin Junxuan stretched out his arm and grabbed the skull in the air. At the moment when Lin Junxuan grabbed the skull, the skull broke out.
"Wow!" The star-shaped pendant chain hanging around Lin Junxuan's neck suddenly floated up automatically, making a vibrating sound. In the darkness, the star-shaped pendant chain emitted a faint white light, and an invisible energy entered Lin Junxuan's body along the pendant chain, and along his arm, he penetrated into the green skull.
"Boom!" The skull shook and suddenly shattered. A black vortex emerged in the void while the skull skull was shattered. The wind blew around. The black vortex immediately rotated and expanded rapidly as soon as it was formed. A strong suction force was emitted from the center of the vortex, which immediately sucked Lin Junxuan, who was close to him.
Lin Junxuan felt that the darkness in front of his eyes was sucked into a dark and narrow passage. His body rotated with the powerful suction force. Under the influence of the powerful force, Lin Junxuan felt that his body seemed to shrink sharply. He could not tell the direction in the darkness, and only a "boom" sound could be heard in his ears, a bright light passed through his eyes, and then Lin Junxuan knew nothing...
