Chapter 445: Patrol the Netherworld by Day, Patrol the Sun by Night
At the door, Guo Qiming and his wife were trembling all over, because they could feel a chill coming from outside the door, as if there was a very cold existence floating by their side.
In the house, only Guo Narrowhe stood alone on the edge of the desk, and the old man clutched the desk with one hand, so as not to cause the desk to tip over because of the beating of the four roosters.
Naturally, there were more than three people in the Guo family, but the housekeeper Laifu just stood in the courtyard and didn't dare to move.
Because Fang Ming had explained before, no matter what happened at that time, no one else was allowed to come in and interfere, otherwise the child's life would really be gone.
At that time, Guo Qiming also asked Fang Ming the reason, and Fang Ming only replied with a sentence that they didn't understand very well.
"Heaven does not allow it, blood relatives still have the right to fight for a glimmer of life, and outsiders' actions are like a move against the sky, and they will be counterattacked. ”
Inside the desk, the rooster was still crowing desperately, and in the study on the other side, Fang Ming also opened his eyes at this moment.
The crowing of the rooster came into Fang Ming's ears, causing Fang Ming's pupils to shrink a little, but Fang Ming also knew that he couldn't help with the situation over there now, the only thing he could do was to hurry up here.
Calm and concentrated, this time, he only drew three times to draw the Yin Crossing Talisman, and at the moment when the Yin Crossing Talisman was formed, a cold aura instantly filled the entire study, even goosebumps appeared on Fang Ming's skin.
Holding the Yin Crossing Talisman in his hand, Fang Ming pondered for a moment, and finally put this talisman on his back.
Cross-legged, sitting cross-legged on the ground, Fang Ming closed his eyes, and as time slowly passed, Fang Ming could feel that the cold deepened again, not from the cold of the surrounding temperature, but from his soul.
Just when this cold reached the edge of Fang Ming's endurance limit, Fang Ming's whole person suddenly relaxed, and then he found that the environment around him had completely changed.
There are no desks, no bookshelves, no lights, just boundless darkness and endless cold.
"Has my soul already come to Hades?"
Fang Ming looked around, he didn't dare to be 100% sure, because his master only told him that the Yin Crossing Talisman could allow people's souls to go to the underworld, but what about the specific underworld, his master didn't mention it.
Therefore, now whether he has really arrived in the underworld, Fang Ming is not sure, maybe it is just the periphery of the underworld.
Clang!
Just when Fang Ming was thinking about which direction to go, a gong sounded not far away, hearing this gong, Fang Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to walk towards that side.
The sound of the gong sounded every three minutes, and when the sixth gong sounded, a light finally appeared in front of Fang Ming, but it was only a faint light.
It was the light of a red lantern, and there was a man carrying a red lantern, and under the red lantern was a gong, and in his other hand he was holding a black wooden stick, which he struck every three minutes.
"Beat the guard?"
When he saw this figure, Fang Ming's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he remembered what his master had told him.
Fighting people is a very special profession, and it is also the most lonely profession.
Beat the watchman, a gong goes in all directions, the gong sounds, the yin spirit and ghosts are shocked and avoided, and the powerful gong of the watchman can make some lonely souls and wild ghosts fly away.
Therefore, for the Yin Spirit Ghosts, beating people is the same as the crowing of a rooster in their hearts, but the former is more deterrent.
The watchmen are very special, that is, they never deal with other people, they just carry a gong to walk around, and they will not do things to help each other when the road is uneven.
Except for the time when the watch will appear, even if it is a ghost thing that harms people in front of them on weekdays, they will ignore it.
Of course, if it is only this, it will not be enough for Master Fang Ming to deliberately explain to Fang Ming, and there is another great feature of the watchman, that is, yin and yang.
Everyone knows that the watchman appears at night, but this does not mean that the watchman has nothing to do during the day, according to Master Fang Ming's discovery, the watchman walks the yang road at night, and the underworld road during the day.
Some people say that the watchmen are cold-blooded, but in fact, the watchmen are not cold-blooded, but because their souls are not in the sun at all during the day.
The gong in the yang world and the human skin lantern in the underworld are the characteristics of the watchman.
Therefore, when he saw the figure of carrying a red lantern and striking the gong, Fang Ming immediately thought of beating the guard.
However, Fang Ming didn't get any closer, because when he found this distance, when the gong and drum of the watchman sounded, the sound wave brought him an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
This feeling actually appeared when he heard the third gong, but it was only because of curiosity that he held back the discomfort in his heart and continued to move forward.
"In the yang world, the sound of the gong of the watchman deters the ghosts of the Quartet, and now it seems that the duty of the watchman in the underworld is just the opposite, and the sound of the gong deters the soul like me who does not belong to the underworld. ”
Ghosts do not belong to the yang world, so they are afraid of hitting the gong of the watchman, and smugglers like Fang Ming do not belong to the underworld, so they are also afraid of the gong of the watchman.
Night patrol in the sun, day patrol in the underworld.
This is the beating man!
Without getting close to the watchman, Fang Ming slowly retreated, choosing the opposite direction to the watchman and continuing to move forward.
This time, Fang Ming walked for almost an hour before he saw the light again, a huge oil pot, spanning in front of him, as high as a mountain, and below each oil pot was a dark blue flame.
Fang Ming couldn't see the situation inside the oil pot, but on the edge of the oil pot, there were a series of muddy ghost figures, and these ghosts climbed into the oil pot one after another, and then disappeared.
"Underneath this oil pot is the real entrance to the underworld?"
After carefully observing for a while, to make sure that there were no watchmen and no mistakes here, Fang Ming was mixed in with these ghost teams, and he wanted to observe the situation of this oil pot up close.
The queue was very long, and when Fang Ming had been in line for almost half an hour, the sound of the gong appeared again, Fang Ming's eyes were condensed, and the watchman didn't know when he appeared on the side of the line.
"People have roads, ghosts have ghosts, don't cross the line and ask for trouble. ”
A cold voice came out of the watchman's mouth, and as the gong sounded, Fang Ming showed a wry smile on his face, as long as the watchman went further, he would be automatically exposed at that time.
Because those ghosts did not react to the sound of the gong, but he couldn't, and every time the gong sounded, he was shaken, and it was easy to be detected.
Just when Fang Ming was about to give up, there was a sudden commotion in the team, and a figure rushed out of the team directly, quickly running towards the oil pot.
Obviously, in this team, in addition to Fang Ming, there are also souls smuggled into the underworld.
The other party also knew that it was impossible to hide under the sound of the gong of the watchman, so he simply used this extreme method, obviously this person knew more about the watchman than Fang Ming, or he thought that as long as he entered the oil pot, it would be safe.
Seeing a figure running towards the oil pot, the watchman didn't make too many moves, but the red lantern with human skin was directly towards the figure, and he caught up with the figure almost in the blink of an eye.
The red skin lantern, which was originally only a foot long, suddenly grew larger after approaching, like a huge red monster, directly swallowing this figure, Fang Ming could clearly see that the flames of the figure in the lantern tossed in less than three seconds before completely dissipating.
"Trespassing on the underworld, obsessive, and ruined. ”
The cold words came out of the mouth of the watchman, but Fang Ming heard this but his heart was cold, people have three souls and seven souls, each soul is extremely important, one less will have a huge impact, this person is ruined, this life will be weaker than ordinary people, and it is even very likely that he will become an idiot.
"Forget it, accept your fate. ”
Fang Ming shook his head and was about to stand up and turn himself in, but at this moment, a laugh suddenly came from the distance.
"Haha, this is who doesn't open their eyes and wants to break into the underworld, it's just looking for death. ”
The voice came, and the watchman's eyes looked over there, and Fang Ming did the same, not far from the team, a figure was slowly walking, and when he got closer, he found that it was a fat man in his thirties.
The fat man had a lovely smile on his face, and in his hand was a black text book that shimmered with a strange luster.
"The Zhou family passed through the Yin Man Zhou Hai, and went to the underworld with a document. ”
Zhou Hai looked at the watchman with a smile, but the watchman didn't reply, just looked at the black text in Zhou Hai's hand, and then turned to leave.
"Passing through the yin?"
Fang Ming was a little surprised, he didn't expect his luck to be so good, the first time he went to the underworld, he met a watchman, a stowaway, and a person who had passed through the underworld.
Most of the deceased have unfulfilled wishes in the underworld, and then give dreams to their descendants, and the descendants do not know what the wishes of their ancestors are, in this case, they must find a middleman to go to the underworld to understand.
Of course, the work done by the Yin people is not only these, to put it bluntly, the Yin people are the only ones who can legally enter the underworld, and there are naturally a lot of cats involved in this.
"Well, it's a good thing for you. ”
Zhou Hai took out a small object from his pocket, and then quickly put it into the hand of the watchman, who was still expressionless, but nodded to Zhou Hai imperceptibly, and then turned around and left here.
"It's not easy to bring some smuggled goods, and you have to bribe a change person, but this time it should be able to return to the capital, at least it is not a problem to sleep for a month in a row. ”
Watching the watchman walk away, Zhou Hai sighed, but then there was a happy expression on his face, and he walked slowly towards the front of the team.
