Chapter Eighty-Three: The Shadow Gate
Quan Ling and the others also immediately ran out of the range of the big locust tree.
I took a closer look at the big locust tree, but it was very quiet, and there was nothing unusual about it.
I looked at the little fifth sister inexplicably: "Little fifth sister, what's wrong?"
The little fifth sister pointed to the big locust tree with palpitations: "Look at the foot of the tree on the east side of the big locust tree." ”
I immediately followed the direction of the little fifth sister's finger.
Unexpectedly, under the big locust tree, there was a shadow of a black person.
But there's no one under the big locust tree.
No one, a figure from anywhere.
The shadow was quiet at first, but as we looked at it, the shadow seemed to have a premonition of a crisis, and ran wildly under the big locust tree.
However, no matter how it runs, it just can't run out of the range of the big locust tree.
A lonely figure, running around under the big locust tree, this scene is really weird.
Even though I am used to seeing all kinds of strong winds and waves, seeing this scene still scared me into goosebumps.
The walker was furious: "Bastard, dare to try to hurt my master, damn it!"
Without saying a word, he rushed directly to the shadow and stepped down heavily.
The shadow shattered and vanished in an instant.
The little fifth sister's mood calmed down a lot, and she even showed off a little proudly: "I just said, we were followed, and you still don't believe it." ”
"Now you believe it. ”
I was dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, we were followed by a shadow!
No wonder the little fifth sister has never found any trace of the other party.
The fat man also sighed: "How can this shadow seem to be alive, and it still knows how to track." ”
The little fifth sister said: "Fatty, a manly man, you have to talk about it." ”
"I just saved your life, are you going to take off your head and kick me as a ball. ”
The fat man said disdainfully: "When did you save my life? That shadow can't hurt me, you fat man and I can crush that shadow with one kick." ”
Little Fifth Sister: "Bragging, you can really crush it, what did you run just now?"
Fat man: "Cut, fat man, I'm playing with it." ”
I ignored the entanglement between the two, but asked the old man.
"Sir, what the hell is that shadow? ”
The old man sighed: "Hey, that should be a ghost raised by the Shadow Sect." ”
I was surprised and said, "Is the shadow door also from the side door, and what is the ghost shadow?"
The old savage man said, "That's right, the shadow gate is indeed a side door. I thought that the Shadow Gate was extinct, but who would have thought that they still existed, and that the magic of creating ghosts had not been lost. ”
"I guess they're here for the Ghost Eye and the Walkers. ”
"This ghost shadow is the unique secret technique of the Shadow Gate. That's not really a shadow, it's a remnant of a human soul. ”
I gasped: "In other words, the one just now is actually a ghost." ”
The old man nodded: "You can also say that." It's just that this is not a complete ghost, but a broken soul. ”
"The human soul is divided into the heavenly soul, the earth soul, and the human soul. ”
"The Shadow Gate can use secret techniques to strip out people's earth souls. Earth spirits are similar to human shadows, and can blend into human shadows without being discovered. It's best to keep track of. ”
"As far as I know, in order to strip the earth soul from the soul, it needs to be stripped from the living. ”
My face turned pale: "In other words, to make a ghost, you need to kill a living person." ”
The old savage nodded.
The Shadow Gate is really inhumane!
Quan Ling interjected, "Since this shadow can lurk in our shadow without being discovered, why did it break away from our shadow just now?"
The old man said, "It's all this big locust tree that saved us." The so-called big locust locks the yin, which means that the big locust tree can bind the ghosts. ”
"This big locust tree has restrained the ghost, and it naturally can't continue to run out of the range of the big locust tree with us. ”
It dawned on me.
At the same time, I'm also very curious, we walked all the way, and we didn't notice the existence of ghosts, why did Xiao Wumei, the weakest person, find out?
Quan Ling explained with a smile: "Little Fifth Sister has a talent in perceiving spirits, as long as there are ghosts following us within a radius of ten kilometers, she can sense it. ”
I looked at the little fifth sister dumbfounded, I really didn't expect that this weak girl still had such a powerful ability.
The old savage told us that the shadow was trampled to pieces, and that the people of the shadow gate could judge our position by it.
Our top priority is to find the five poisons, and it is inconvenient to quarrel with the shadow door.
So we'd better find a place to avoid the shadow door now.
After that, we sped up and hurried.
We galloped for two or three hours, until the moon and stars faded, and finally we found a small village.
We're almost exhausted now, so we've decided to spend the night in this village.
The village was so quiet that you couldn't even hear the barking of dogs.
At this time, it is really a bit inappropriate to knock on the door of the villagers.
I decided that I couldn't find anyone to stay with, so I found a secluded corner of the village to rest.
It's just that I don't know if the little fifth sister can suffer this kind of torment.
However, there is no end to it, and we finally find a deserted house where no one lives.
Although the room is dilapidated, it is better than sleeping on the street.
A few of us walked in at once, ready to spend the night here.
The furniture in the room was rotten, moldy, dark, and smelly.
But fortunately, there was a lot of dry straw in the room, and we spread out the dry straw and used it as a bed.
Sleeping in such a place naturally requires a vigil.
I am now full of energy, and before I feel sleepy, I offered to keep vigil.
The walker feels sorry for me and wants to keep vigil for me.
However, when I was in the bamboo forest for the past few days, the walker had been guarding me, and I was already tired at the moment, so I forcibly ordered the walker to go to sleep.
I lit a pile of dry straw and sat boredly on the fire.
Not long after they had fallen asleep, I suddenly noticed a shadow in the doorway, and it was walking towards the room.
My heart was beating wildly, was it the shadow door chasing after me?
However, I quickly dismissed the idea because I heard loud and clear footsteps.
I immediately woke up a few people.
When several people saw the figure, they immediately became nervous, looked at it with fierce eyes, and prepared for battle.
The shadow's footsteps finally entered the room.
Unexpectedly, it was a ragged and unkempt stinky beggar who came in.
I let out a long sigh of relief when I saw that it was a human being.
When the stinky beggar saw us, he was furious.
He jumped up screaming, trampling the fire and scolding us at the same time.
"Little bastard, this is Lao Tzu's territory, who let you break in. ”
"Get out, get out of here. Otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill you now. ”
He grabbed the straw and kept throwing us, with exaggerated movements and extreme anger.
I couldn't laugh in my heart.
This beggar is insane, even if we rob his territory, we won't be angry like this.
The walker was furious and wanted to teach the beggar a lesson.
But I stopped the walker in the end.
In any case, it was also our fault that we forcibly occupied his home.
I knew it was useless to explain to the beggar, so I just took the man out of the house.
Knowing that this house was a stinky beggar's nest, I didn't want to stay in it for a moment.
Who knew that even when we left the house, the beggar would not let us go, scolding after us, and from time to time picking up stones and throwing them at us.
I couldn't get angry, so I wanted to kick the beggar away.
However, at this time, Quan Ling stopped me: "Wait, have you noticed anything wrong with the village?" ”
I frowned and looked around.
But the village is very quiet, and there is nothing wrong with it......
Wait, the village is quiet, very quiet, and this quietness is the biggest abnormality.
The beggar's shouting was so loud that it spread throughout the village.
Why didn't any of the villagers come to see the excitement?
I immediately said, "Why is this village so quiet......? It's an empty village. ”
The old savage said, "The village has a lot of cats. Let's go to this house. ”
As he spoke, the old savage kicked open the door of a nearby house and shouted inside.
"Hey, is there anyone at home? We're passing by here, trying to make an excuse to drink water. ”
The house was very quiet, and there was no response.
The few of us looked at each other, and I immediately said, "Let's go, let's go inside the room." ”
The room was cleaned and spotlessly clean, and even the delicious meals were on the table, but the meals were already cold.
All signs in this room indicate that this is not a deserted village, and that there are indeed people living in the village.
