Chapter 56 Found the Icon
When that golden light came down, it really scared me.
I don't know what that is.
Perhaps because of the light, my cousin and Dong Jing, who were sweeping the school house, both came towards me.
When my cousin saw him, his face looked strange.
"You kid, you don't like the good formation, what are you doing here?"
As he said this, my cousin was about to hit me.
Dong Jing stopped him with one hand: "Don't hit him, he is helping the evil things here to be liberated."
Be liberated?
My cousin looked at him with an incredible expression.
In his eyes, I have made a lot of progress compared to when I first started following him.
But after all he was just a country boy who had not received much education, and he even doubted my ability to understand.
"When did you learn how to transcend?"
My cousin looked at me with a suspicious look.
"just."
I answered perfunctorily and looked up to the sky.
The big white fog was dispersed.
Some small mists were moving towards the direction of the golden light falling from the sky.
In the end, all the white fog that could leave had left.
I counted them clearly, and there were exactly five, no more, no less.
If my calculation is correct, this white mist should be the foul air left behind by the eight children trapped underground.
Now after counting, there are only five.
There is also a big white ball.
That means the other three want to stay here, so they haven't followed the golden light and left.
When my cousin saw this, he took out a Taoist talisman and muttered something.
Not long after, the golden light dissipated.
The dark clouds in the sky once again blocked the moonlight, and a drizzle of rain began to fall.
I was stunned for a moment, what was going on?!
By the time I figured it out, the rain had already soaked the white fog.
Just as I was about to step forward to stop him, Dong Jing pulled me back.
"Don't go. Your uncle did this for a reason."
I looked at Dong Jing in astonishment. "Reason? What reason could there be? Is it really okay to put him to death like this?"
"They are disobedient, so they will never be able to reincarnate." My cousin suddenly spoke to me in a voice I had never heard before.
I was stunned.
Why so cruel?
They are just some children, if their evil spirit can also be dispersed.
Then there will be no rebirth forever.
They will disappear from this world forever!
"If their evil spirits had not been dispersed, or you were leaving this world, would you still think I was cruel?"
I had no way to refute what my cousin said.
Watching the white mist slowly being soaked by the rain, my cousin waved his hand and started muttering again.
The wind nearby began to gather, but due to the obstruction of the formation, not much wind could come in.
It’s different with rain, as it can penetrate the formation and enter the school.
"Why don't you open the formation? Do you really want to die here?"
My cousin looked so serious that I didn't know what to do for a moment.
Dong Jing stood beside me for a while, and seeing that I didn't move, she took the initiative to walk to the center of the formation.
If the sail inside is pulled slightly, a hole will appear in the formation.
She pulled gently, and instantly wind came in from outside.
The wind was not , and the white mist disappeared when it was blown by the strong wind.
My heart skipped a beat; just like that, they were gone.
I don’t know how much time had passed, I was still standing there in a daze.
Dong Jing looked at me and said, "We have already scanned the building and found nothing, but we did find the icon. If there is nothing wrong here, we will leave."
I looked at Dong Jing, not quite sure what to do.
Actually, I know that people are selfish. If my cousin hadn't done that just now, I would probably have died.
He was just protecting me.
But I still feel uncomfortable and always feel like I have let someone down.
My cousin looked back at me, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"You're not leaving yet? You're staying here to observe mourning?!"
I frowned, knowing that now was not the time to lose my temper, so I could only follow my cousin's steps and fold up my sail.
When I returned to the dormitory, it was already dawn.
My cousin took out a piece of cloth from his arms, and there was an icon on it.
This icon is not the same as the one I have seen before, but it is very similar.
There is a snake and a cross.
But with the cross pressing on the snake, the snake doesn't look so majestic.
After putting the things there, my cousin took his cigarette and left the dormitory.
When I see cigarettes, I want to smoke too.
So I followed my cousin out of the yard.
"Come sit down and I'll talk to you."
My cousin asked me to sit down, and I couldn't see his expression next to him.
"The icon we found is most likely a gang icon."
Gang?
I was feeling a little awkward with my cousin because of what happened just now.
But when I heard the word gang, I immediately became interested.
"This is something related to the world of Xuanshu, and I don't know how to tell you. After all, I have little contact with it, and I don't understand it very well. I can only tell you that this matter is related to an ancient curse, and it is very likely that you have been drawn into the vortex."
As I listened to my cousin's words, I started to imagine things in my mind.
What is going on?
"Don't blame me for being so mean. I can ignore you even if you don't eat or drink or have a cold or fever. I've lived with you for so long and I've never restricted you in anything. But this is fate, your own fate. You are the only boy in the Wen family, and you have to remember your mission."
After my cousin finished speaking, he didn't say anything else.
He smoked one cigarette after another, and I suddenly felt ashamed of my ignorance in school just now.
I am just an ordinary person, but I am still thinking about how to make others feel less uncomfortable.
If it weren’t for my cousin, I would have probably died just now.
"Anyway, remember, no matter what happens in the future, you should first think about whether you are safe. Wait until you are sure that you are okay, then think about helping others. You are old enough, you should know what I am thinking."
My cousin stood up, patted my shoulder, and said, "Let's go, let's go have breakfast."
When he said this, I realized that it was already dawn and the sun was out.
While we were eating, Hu Yue and the others woke up.
Hu Yue looked at us with a more or less tentative look, but this time I was only helping to watch the formation and I knew nothing about other things.
My cousin didn't say anything, and Dong Jing and I didn't say anything either.
I don’t know how long it took before my cousin said, “Please contact the heads of the five villages for me. We’ll have a meeting before lunch. I have something to tell them.”
I didn't listen to what they said afterwards.
My mind is always filled with thoughts about what my cousin said about the world of metaphysics.
