Chapter 38: The End of the Road
"Please!" Zhong Ming took the copper bell and raised his hand towards Bai Xiuyi.
Bai Xiu couldn't figure out for a moment whether the other party was polite or really wanted him to lead the way.
If it's the latter, is it possible that the Ming family knows where to put it?
Bai Xiu's thoughts in his mind turned quickly, and he continued to play the role of a disciple of the Ming family, and said politely: "I am new here, and I dare not trespass." ”
Zhong Ming raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What, don't you dare? Are you still worried that there is fraud in it? Don't worry, it's at the end of the land of listening to the soul - Huangquan Biluo, it depends on whether you have the ability to get it." ”
Bai Xiu's mind was keen, and he said meaningfully: "Didn't Your Excellency say before that your mansion would not give it to me anyway, why did you change your words now? I have never doubted my ability, but I am careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”
Zhong Ming was not annoyed when he heard this, but said: "Your Ming family is not only scheming, but also likes to treat others with themselves, I understand." But I'm not lying to you, it's not a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy. Because I believe that even if you want to bring it out through Huangquan Biluo, it will be a matter of death. ”
Bai Xiu naturally snorted coldly according to his meaning, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency doesn't need to be alarmist, I am determined to succeed in this trip." ”
Zhong Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since that's the case, it's useless to talk more, please." ”
As he spoke, he had taken the lead in taking a step.
Bai Xiu was secretly vigilant, and followed him into the city gate with a calm expression on his face.
This time, there were no visions.
Although the Suling River is still flowing quietly, the scenery on both sides of the river is no longer a high and low mountain, but a sea of flowers.
The sea of flowers stretches endlessly, and there seems to be no end in sight.
Through the fading moonlight, Bai Xiu stared at it and realized what it was.
It was a piece of flowers.
Its petals like blood gently stretched, spitting out slender stamens, like a weeping girl, with a poignant beauty of blood and tears staining her clothes.
"It's been so many years, and the sea of blood flowers here is still blooming so gorgeously. Zhong Ming was also photographed by the beauty of this sea of flowers, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and mutter.
Listening to his words, Bai Xiu somehow remembered the acacia flowers in the small courtyard of Bai Yu, maybe there is a poignant story behind this sea of flowers in the mountains.
But now is obviously not the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, seeing that the other party is still intoxicated, Bai Xiu couldn't help but interrupt: "Let's continue to move forward." ”
Zhong Ming snorted, squinted at him and shook his head again and again, and said, "I don't understand the amorous feelings, no wonder the ghost king Si Ming always says that your Ming family is too utilitarian, it seems that this is indeed the case." ”
Seeing him mention that person, Bai Xiu's heart moved, and he said quietly: "How has the ghost king been in recent years?"
Zhong Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this, and said jokingly: "Interesting, you actually care about his old man, could it be that after so many years of loving and killing each other, your Ming family still has feelings for our Ghost King City?"
Bai Xiu didn't know what he meant, so he had to pretend to be silent.
Zhong Ming was still looking at the sea of flowers, suddenly sighed, and muttered: "Speaking of which, both of them are hard-working people, and they still can't see through that feeling for several lifetimes."
Later, the situation finally got better, I thought that the two of them had released their previous suspicions and stopped making trouble, but I didn't expect that twenty years ago, the ghost girl suddenly changed her temperament, and then left the ghost king city.
She blindly wandered in the yellow springs, and when she saw the unpleasant souls, she turned them into flowers in the mountains, so that they could never be reborn, and provoked the mourning of the souls everywhere. ”
Bai Xiu was secretly frightened, these mountain flowers were all turned into undead?
In such a sea of flowers, how many souls must be scattered from the hands of that ghost girl?
Seeing that his expression was different, Zhong Ming naturally knew what he was thinking, and sneered: "You don't think that these Zhaoshan flowers are all her handiwork, right? They are not the same as those of Huangquan Biluo...... As for the difference, you'll know when you get there. ”
Bai Xiu didn't care about his mockery, but looked at the other party and said slowly: "This is probably the reason why you suddenly changed your words." ”
"What?" Zhong Ming asked with an eyebrow raised, as he didn't seem to react.
Bai Xiu said: "Just now you agreed so readily to me to get that thing, not only because of your confidence in the dangerous place of Huangquan Biluo, but also because the ghost girl is there, and you want to borrow her hand to get rid of me." ”
Zhong Ming gradually smiled and stared directly at Bai Xiu.
Finally, he said coldly, "You're not stupid...... But what does it matter if I say it or not, anyway, everyone who gets there will die in the end, and you won't retreat. Why should I do anything more to add to the troubles of a dying man?"
Bai Xiu said in his heart, and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”
"......," Zhong Ming laughed dryly, and then mocked, "If there are no other problems, then please." I just opened the ghost gate directly to the outside of Huangquan Biluo, and you can get there by following this road. I'm not going to go to that place, good luck!"
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.
Bai Xiu's target is not really the thing in Zhong Ming's mouth, although he is afraid that he will show his feet if he asks too much, but he also has to ask some questions, otherwise his trip will be in vain.
After thinking about it, he still said: "There is a question below, please tell me the truth." ”
Zhong Ming didn't expect him to really ask questions, so he snorted coldly and said, "For the sake of you being half a dead person, I will answer you with kindness." Say, as long as I know and can answer you, I must know everything and say everything. ”
"Where will you go after you leave your body and are swept away by ghosts to the place where you listen to your soul?" Bai Xiu asked.
Zhong Ming suddenly had a strange expression on his face.
In the end, he said: "Although the soul is out of the body and has no mind like the wandering soul, it is also a soul, and if it is taken to the place of listening to the soul, it will naturally follow this river to Huangquan Biluo."
But I can warn you that while a soul doesn't reincarnate on its own, it doesn't have any surprises. The soul is kept in the original body, and the soul lacks the most important soul, even if it is reincarnated, it is a fool.
And once the original body dies and the soul has no support, it will soon return to heaven and earth. What is the difference between being alive in the world and the power of the soul being dissipated?
If I'm not mistaken, the last creature to enter the Land of Listening Souls is the one from three days ago, right?
Bai Xiu's heart sank, but at this time, he could only pray that Bai Hua's life was still in Huangquan Biluo.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Zhong Ming sneered: "If you have any other questions, please ask them quickly, your time is very precious." ”
Bai Xiu thought about it for a while, and simply asked, "If I can successfully get it, can Your Excellency introduce the Ghost King on your behalf?"
Zhong Ming glanced at him, and said angrily: "Don't worry, if you can really come back from Huangquan Biluo alive, even if you don't want to see him, the Ghost King Si Ming will want to see you." Okay, I've got to go, and I'll see you forever. ”
Saying that, he didn't care about Bai Xiu's reaction, as soon as he collected the copper bell, he turned around and walked out of the gate of the ghost city.
Bai Xiu sighed, looked up, and saw that the moon had set in the west, and he thought that there was not much time left before dawn.
He did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately walked briskly towards the lower reaches of the river.
Bai Xiu thought that he still had a long way to go, but in fact, the bluestone road under his feet would soon come to an end.
At the same time, a roar was heard in front of me.
Bai Xiu's heart moved, and he hurriedly quickened his pace, and it didn't take long for the incomparably shocking but incomparably weird scene to appear in front of him.
At the end of this road is a huge waterfall!
The waterfall was 100 meters high, and the originally calm river water suddenly turned into a silver dragon and rushed straight down, crashing into the deep pool under the waterfall, making a heavy muffled sound, and at the same time rising a mist, almost enveloping the entire waterfall in it.
And behind that thin mist, a huge basin finally revealed its true face.
It was like a giant eye, staring at him deeply, meaningfully.
