Chapter 11 A near miss
The moment Ding Yi saw the two-headed infant spirit standing at the door, he felt all the blood rush to his head, and his mind went blank for a brief moment from the shock.
How could he remain calm when such a scene, which he once only saw in movies, was now vividly unfolding before his eyes?
At that moment, Ding Yi had only one thought in his mind: to find a way to survive.
Survive in this bizarre and inexplicable world!
The two-headed infant spirit stood at the doorway, its two heads looking around in different directions before one of them let out a light laugh.
"Hehe, let's choose the last one against the wall, it won't be easy to spot."
The other head shook its head upon hearing this:
"I choose the first one, the last one is too far!!"
"Listen to me, the last one is safe!"
"First!"
As the two heads talked, they started arguing and looked at each other, their pale faces showing expressions of anger.
"Damn, of course we'll choose the first one! Let's get out of here as soon as we're done!"
Ding Yi lay slightly back, and as he listened to the two-headed infant monster arguing, he cursed inwardly.
"Then let's each have one!"
Just as Ding Yi was cursing under his breath, one of the heads of the strange infant suddenly spoke.
"Hehe, that's a great idea!"
The strange infant seemed pleased with the idea, standing still and clapping its hands happily, which made Ding Yi, who was lying behind it, break out in a cold sweat.
Although he wasn't the last one, who can guarantee that this strange infant wouldn't become interested in him when it passed by?
However, it was clear that Ding Yi had no better option at the moment. He could only try to slow his breathing, pretend to be asleep, and close his eyes tightly.
"Clap, clap!"
The sound of footsteps from the heels of the cotton shoes was exceptionally clear in the quiet room, indicating that the two-headed infant ghost had entered the room.
As Ding Yi lay on the bed, he felt a chilling aura slowly approaching him from the direction of the doorway, and then it stopped right in front of him!
"Oops!"
Ding Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he had already prepared for the worst.
Before going to sleep, Ding Yi had deliberately placed the oil lamp and wooden plank in his bosom. If this damned thing really wanted to do something to him, Ding Yi was prepared to fight back.
"Wow, this person has amazing vitality!"
"Huh? It really is. It's quite rare. I really want to eat it. It must taste good."
"Are you asking for it? If Master finds out, we're all dead!"
"The flesh and blood statue loves people with strong blood and energy. Let's go, let's go. This person has definitely been targeted by the master."
The two-headed infant spirit stood in front of Ding Yi's head and chattered for a few words. Then, it actually continued to walk inside, seemingly abandoning Ding Yi.
Despite this, Ding Yi felt even more panicked.
"What the hell? Am I being targeted? And what's this flesh and blood statue? Is it that statue in the courtyard?"
A series of questions arose in Ding Yi's mind, and just as he was thinking haphazardly, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from behind him.
"Slurp, slurp..."
The sound was, well, like the sound of sipping a milkshake through a straw.
The fact that this normally normal sound could be so terrifying at this moment caused Ding Yi to feel a deep pain, and he almost vomited.
Time passed by in this extreme agony, and after an unknown amount of time, the eerie sound finally stopped, followed by another sound.
"Crench."
It was the sound of a stone slab being pushed aside. After all, the sound of friction between stones was quite unique, which made Ding Yi think of a possibility.
That is, the bed board under everyone can slide!
Sure enough, after a heavy thud, the sound of the stone slab closing rang out again, and then Ding Yi felt the chill coming towards him from inside the room once more.
This time, the chill didn't linger; it went straight to the front of the room, and then the same eerie sound rang out again.
Now, Ding Yi finally understood what the stench he had smelled when he first entered the room was.
That's the stench of rotting corpses!
Perhaps the monster had drained the flesh and blood from the corpses here, so the smell of decay wasn't so outrageous as to be unbearable. Therefore, it only smelled like rotting garbage through the stone slab.
But the thought that there might be a dried-up corpse hidden beneath him made Ding Yi's heart clench again. He wondered what sins he had committed to end up in such an absurd place.
Fortunately, the two-headed infant spirit left after consuming the first person, and the room returned to calm.
At this moment, Ding Yi dared not make a sound. He kept his eyes closed and lay quietly on the bed, pretending to be completely asleep.
He seemed to sense that the two-headed infant spirit was perched on the window outside the room, silently watching him. If he made any move, it would pounce in and devour him instantly.
Time passed by, and just when Ding Yi was about to give up and his mind was starting to wander, he suddenly felt a ray of light shining on his cheek.
"Its daybreak?"
Ding Yi's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but slightly open his eyes, only to find that the room was brightly lit by the light coming through the window, clearly indicating that the sun had already risen.
"call."
Only now did Ding Yi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, inexplicably relax, thinking to himself that the night was finally over.
While it's not certain that the Taoist temple is safe during the day, it's certainly much better than at night; otherwise, the demon wouldn't have chosen to come at night.
While Ding Yi was lost in thought, the villagers in the room began to wake up one after another, perhaps due to the light.
Upon seeing this, Ding Yi could no longer control himself. He slowly sat up and immediately looked at the spot closest to the wall.
No one is empty.
really.
Ding Yi's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and then he dared not delay any longer and hurriedly followed the others off the bed.
What puzzled Ding Yi was that the two people who disappeared from the room did not seem to attract the attention of the others, as if they had simply vanished like two flies.
Ding Yi found this strange, but he couldn't bring himself to ask and could only pretend he didn't know.
When Ding Yi walked out of the room, he found that the people in the other three rooms were also coming out one after another, and the old man who looked like a village chief was standing in the middle of the courtyard waiting.
Ding Yi stood in the group with the others, glanced around and found that neither Bai Yunzi nor Qing Yunzi had appeared, and he didn't know where they had gone.
Before long, it seemed that all the villagers had come out of the room. The old man glanced at everyone, then walked silently out of the courtyard.
A large group of people walked through the connecting corridor they had come from and returned to the front courtyard of the Taoist temple. The courtyard gate was already open, as if it had anticipated their departure.
Looking at the lush greenery outside the courtyard gate, Ding Yi felt as if the events of the past two days had been a dream. He couldn't help but turn around and glance back, only to suddenly discover that a blurry figure was standing in the shadows of the Taoist temple behind him, watching him from afar.
"Is it Baiyunzi? Or Qingyunzi?"
Ding Yi was unsure, but dared not look again. He quickly turned around and, together with the others, stepped out of the Taoist temple and headed down the mountain.
