Chapter 31: The Bridge
"By the way, didn't you say you're hurt?
Seeing that the air was slightly dignified, Dieyi took the lead in breaking the silence and asked.
By the way, I was just stabbed in the heart by that paper man!
Hearing Dieyi's words, Ye Chen was shocked, he had been chatting all the time, but he had forgotten that he was still injured.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen hurriedly lifted his clothes, but to his surprise, the lower abdomen, which should have a big hole, was extremely smooth at this time, and there was no trace of injury!
"I, how did I get out?"
Ye Chen seemed to suddenly understand something, and asked the two of them with some eagerness.
"How did you get out?" Dieyi covered her mouth a little funny, pointed at Li Qiao'er, and said, "You have to thank Qiao'er for this." β
"Ah, what's going on?"
Ye Chen was a little confused for a while, and looked at Li Qiao'er with a flushed face on the side suspiciously.
"That's it...... It is. As soon as Li Qiao'er remembered the experience just now, she couldn't help but blush with shame, and hurriedly took a few deep breaths before continuing to speak, "At that time, Sister Dieyi and I had already come out, and then the fog dispersed, and I, I saw you......"
"I saw you naked, and then, and then your hands were still in that place...... Sister Dieyi thought you were there at first, so she didn't let me disturb you, but, I really couldn't be relieved, so I rushed in and pulled you out......"
At first, she didn't know what Ye Chen was doing, she just thought that she was injured and uncomfortable there.
It wasn't until she pulled him out that Dieyi tried to hold back a smile and explained to her.
Hearing that Ye Chen seemed to be doing that kind of thing, Li Qiao'er couldn't help but feel a burst of shame, and a few words should have been said for several minutes before she stammered.
That kind of thing?
Ye Chen was stunned again, his shirt was indeed taken off because of the unbearable pain after he was injured, but what was the kind of thing they were talking about?
Ye Chen looked at Dieyi, who was still trying to hold back his laughter, with some doubts, and suddenly grasped the key point of the problem - that place!
He suddenly woke up, and before he died, he seemed to have had such a thought......
"Ahem. After thinking about it, Ye Chen didn't dare to ask any more, hurriedly coughed twice, and asked again, "By the way, Qiao'er, did your father tell you anything else, such as what dangers are there after leaving Huangquan Road?" β
"Hmm, let me think about it. β
Li Qiao'er heard that Ye Chen became serious, and hurriedly tried to recall the things her father told her before.
"I remembered!"
Qiao'er clapped her hands happily and slowly talked to the two.
Go to the Ghost Gate Pass first, and then take Huangquan Road. And along the Huangquan Road, a section forward, is the Nai He Bridge.
According to her father, the bridge is divided into three layers - the upper layer is a good bridge, and there is no danger; the middle level is both good and evil, and there are often strong winds on it, which is not too dangerous; the real difficulty is the lowest evil bridge, under the bridge there are many powerful ghosts, the slightest carelessness will be dragged down to become a stand-in, and on the bridge are many copper snakes and iron dogs, even if they can pass, they are indispensable to shed a layer of skin.
As for the back, her father was secretive every time he said it, obviously there was something he couldn't tell her.
Hearing this, Ye Chen already understood a rough idea in his heart, but Dieyi said excitedly: "It seems that this bridge is indeed simpler, let's go directly to the top when the time comes." β
Hearing Dieyi's words, Qiao'er shook her head a little bitterly, and said complicatedly: "It's not that simple, people cross the bridge, and they have to go through each of the three floors to temporarily wash off the smell on their bodies and successfully reach the opposite ......."
"Go to each of them!"
Although Ye Chen already had some premonitions in his heart, he didn't expect it to be like this......
"Okay, it's useless to dwell here anyway, sooner or later, let's hurry up. β
Dieyi stood up, patted the ash on her body, and said to the two of them with pretended optimism.
Now they can only go one way to the dark, after all, they don't want to be trapped here all the time.
......
As Qiao'er's father said, the distance from Huangquan Road to Nai He Bridge was not far, and there were no accidents on the short road, and it didn't take long for a heavy bridge to appear in front of the three of them.
The bluestone bridge deck has five steps and is divided into three floors. The bridge is more than a thousand feet deep, and there is a faint wail of ghosts mixed in between the clouds and mist, which casts a heavy layer of horror on the bridge......
"What's next? Just walk over there?"
Ye Chen couldn't get an idea, so he had to look at Li Qiao'er, who still knew a little about this.
"Hmm. β
Seeing Li Qiao'er respond, Ye Chen didn't hesitate any longer, and took the second daughter's hand and walked straight towards the Nai He Bridge.
The top layer was quite simple, and it didn't take long for a few people to walk smoothly to the bridge. It's just that when they were about to step on the opposite side, several people fell straight to the second floor as soon as they were light.
"That's right......"
Ye Chen looked up at the bridge that had been restored to its original state at this time, and felt a little frustrated in his heartβhe originally thought that he could jump over it directly.
"Be careful. β
Feeling the cold wind coming from the shop, the faces of several people gradually became solemn. Starting from the second floor, the rest of the road is not so easy to walk.
"Hey, how many of you, but the bridge?"
"Eighty percent still want to run back from here. β
"It's all over, I can't help it, if you want me to say, these people are also some unproductive boys when they are alive"
......
Ye Chen and the three of them walked in the opposite direction, and they also attracted a lot of criticism on the bridge, and many ghosts couldn't help but sneer - although they didn't know why, but this kung fu on the bridge was also quite difficult to pass, and having fun to find it was naturally what they wanted to see.
"Be careful......
Ye Chen touched his face, which was a little stiff by the wind, and whispered a word to the two of them when he was about to reach the bridge.
"Don't worry, we're fine, it's you, don't get crazy anymore. β
Maybe it was because she felt that the atmosphere was a little dignified, and Dieyi said something to joke Ye Chen, but she also knew in her heart that the real danger was still to come.
"Then we're going down. β
After making sure that everything was ready, Ye Chen held the second daughter's hand tightly and walked towards the bridge.
"Hiss......"
Although he was mentally prepared, when Ye Chen really came down, he couldn't help but gasp.
I saw that the third layer of the bridge is far less solid than the first two layers of bridges, the blue bricks on the bridge deck have fallen nearly half at this time, there are no guardrails on both sides, only an iron chain is shaking with the wind, a little careless, will be dragged into the abyss by the ghosts under the bridge.
And the bridge is not stable, in addition to always be careful of the road under your feet, but also carefully watch the copper snake and iron dog on both sides, if you are bitten, those people are afraid to explain here.
"For a while, we can only walk one after the other, and we must hold on to this iron cable. β
"As for those bronze snakes and iron dogs, leave them to me, you just have to move forward. β
Ye Chen glanced at the two of them deeply, grabbed the chain and groped his way forward.
The second daughter saw that Ye Chen was taking the lead, so she didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly followed one after the other.
"Uh......h Woo......"
Feeling the breath of the living, the ghosts under the bridge were much more excited than usual, screaming and pounced on the three of them - after all, the effect of the living as a stand-in is much better than that of those evil spirits.
But Qiao'er's father also reminded him before that as long as he didn't care about it and wasn't frightened by the ghost, there would be nothing the ghost could do.
So the three of them also held their minds at this time and walked forward step by step.
"Yo, isn't this a Taoist brother?"
"Why did you fall to this wicked bridge?"
Just when a few people were halfway there, a familiar voice came from Ye Chen's front......
