Chapter 135: The Mysterious Man
Afraid of death, everyone is afraid of death.
At that moment just now, I felt like I was falling into the abyss, but I didn't see any fear of death in Guo Jiang's eyes.
"What did he say last?" I said to myself, trembling.
In fact, I feel like I've been frozen into ice, and it's hard to get me up now, except that my heart is still trying to beat its last momentum.
Zhuo Shu hastily put on my clothes, draped my clothes over me, and wanted to take off the strange shrimp on my back one by one.
Lu Yu came over and wanted to stop Zhuo Shu, Zhuo Shu suddenly protected me, and pressed one hand on the Bodhi Zi on his wrist.
"Don't! don't summon the Hammer, give me a good timeโ" I said halfway, and I didn't have the strength to say any more.
I felt like I was in a very uncomfortable state at this time.
Obviously, my spirit is still in my body, but my body is as hard as steel!
I couldn't move, not even my eyes.
I saw Lu Yu shake his hand in front of my eyes and turn to leave.
Xiong Da took Zhang Wenxuan, who had fainted, and looked at me, shook his head and left.
Xiong Er pulled Zhuo Shu, who was dead or alive and had to wait for me to wake up, and left.
It was getting dark.
I feel like it's getting a little dark.
Because I could even hear their departing footsteps.
Quiescence!
When they left, there was silence.
The nirvana in my heart is still tenaciously stimulating my heartbeat.
I could barely feel any warmth except the only glimmer of warmth left in my heart.
Stillness and coldness are intertwined.
I don't know how long it took.
Crunch, squeak, squeak!
Someone walked up, and it was the sound of shoes stepping on the snow.
I could hear very clearly that someone was coming up behind me.
I don't know who it is and I can't see it.
Because for me now, it's torture.
I was afraid of death before, but now I can't die if I want to.
It's because this damn nirvana is in my heart that I am in this half-dead state.
Knock knock!
Crunch!
This man seemed to be taking steps exactly as fast as my heart was beating.
I even felt like I was stepping on my heart.
The closer he got to me, the weaker my heart became.
In fact, I thought that maybe Zhuo Shu came back to help me collect the body, and I didn't know if I was dead or not, and I didn't know how to tell him.
Slowly, the figure walked up to me.
The blurred light and shadow in my eyes gradually became a little clearer.
The water in the lake churned violently, as if the entire lake had been boiled.
The floating corpses inside scrambled to climb up, but they couldn't climb to the shore.
This man only left me with a back.
But it feels very familiar to me!
It was the one who had taken Ren Yao away.
The black clothes, even if I couldn't see clearly, were dazzling in the white snow around me.
It seems that the copper bell itself has moved, but I can't feel it, I crossed Ren Yao and them before, and now I guess they are also here to take me back!
The water in the lake churned even harder.
I saw a blurry figure squeezed out of the lake by the floating corpses.
Although I can't see it anymore, I have a feeling that this is Guo Jiang.
The man placed his hand on the head of the vague corpse, which seemed to melt and fell back into the water.
He turned to look at me. My eyes were clearer again, but I couldn't see his face clearly.
But I saw a white thing on his face, as if he was grinning at me.
I can't see clearly, but I feel it.
He's just laughing, and it's a bad laugh!
Because I was kneeling on the edge of the lake, it was like he was laughing at me for kneeling.
He took a few steps forward, almost face to face with me.
Even if it was so close, I couldn't even see his appearance clearly.
Maybe it was because I was unconscious, I couldn't even feel him, as if the person in front of me wasn't a real person, or a hallucination.
But the next moment he personally broke my suspicion.
Because he pinched the pendant under my neck.
I looked at his hand as well as familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.
But I just can't remember who it belongs to.
Or rather, this person is someone I know.
At that time, when he crossed Ren Yao, he walked backwards and didn't let me see his face, and now he was looking at me but happened to touch me, and his eyes were blurred.
He picked up the pendant with one finger.
Gently touched the pendant.
I saw that it seemed that the jade on the pendant was broken.
Then the brass bell fell into his hand.
Is he for the brass bells?
Actually, I thought he was some kind of soul messenger, that is, something like Yincha.
But when I saw him purposefully remove the brass bell from my neck, I was anxious and dead.
I was anxious because he knew the copper bell, and he seemed to know what was going on in it, and the heart was dead because I was powerless to return to heaven now, so I could only watch him play with the copper bell.
He held the brass bell between his fingers and shook it gently.
I expected nothing to happen from the brass bells.
But the copper bell that I couldn't shake but had to wait for the copper bell to move by itself was actually rang by him, or the copper bell became an ordinary bell!
Because as he shook wildly, the brass bell rang irregularly.
I suddenly remembered what my grandfather had said.
"You have to remember that once the copper bell rings in the hands of another person, you only have two ways, the consciousness runs away with the copper bell, how far and as far as you can, and then you kill him, no matter who it is!"
What makes me feel even more strange is that the countless floating corpses in the lake have gone crazy in an instant.
The fangs and claws desperately grabbed the shore and wanted to come up.
Perhaps he was disturbed by the movement of the floating corpses.
He put his index finger to the corner of his mouth: "Shhhh
What's even more strange is that these floating corpses are really obedient and submerge into the water after he made this booing action.
There was silence again.
"Alas, you're dying!" said the man.
I wanted to ask him aloud how much he knew about the Brass Bell and who he really was, but I couldn't tell him, so I left him to himself.
He seemed very upset that I didn't get a response, and threw the brass bell on the ground.
"Oh, a lot of souls!" he whispered.
Then I just saw him wave his hand, and immediately two figures floated over from a distance, I couldn't see clearly, but I felt that it was the silver fox and Shi Ming.
Coupled with Guo Jiang, who had just climbed up from the lake, there were three ghosts standing next to this person, and they seemed to have rushed over because of what he said.
Just now he smashed Guo Jiang's corpse, and Guo Jiang who appeared now must be a ghost, and the other one is also a person who has died a long time ago, what else can he do here besides a ghost.
The souls of the three of them were clearly still sapient, for they were moving, as if they were looking at their limbs.
Especially after they saw this person, they actually lowered their heads very obediently.
Being able to control the soul, can it be said that it is a stepping stone?
But I've never seen any stepping figures, how could there be such a number one person.
And didn't Ren Yao be sent to the underworld by me before, if this person is not a bad person, why did he appear when I called for the door to go to the underworld?
If his previous appearance had a purpose, then what was his purpose, or that his strength was completely above mine, but what did he have to bother with?
"Come with me!" he whispered.
Guo Jiang and the others were very obedient, and immediately turned around and were about to follow him away.
I'm making one last bit of effort to see this man before I'm completely dead.
But no matter how much I looked, I couldn't see it clearly.
Even my heart was beating very slowly.
I really can't escape this!
Suddenly, he turned his head to stare at me.
We looked at each other, and I couldn't see him clearly, but he seemed to see me through.
"You can't even use such a good thing?" he said with a tone of regret in his voice.
And while he said it.
I saw a road appear on the lake in front of me.
A stone road, just like the road he walked when he crossed Ren Yao.
The road that appears on the water!
I don't think he's human!
Ghost?
Or is it a demon?
Otherwise, there could be no such means.
He saw the road that had just appeared, and seemed a little decadent: "Alas! I would have liked to play a little longer!".
The stone path swooped down to his feet.
Puffs of gray smoke spread from the end of the stone path.
"Hey, hey, I know, I know, what are you urging!" he said angrily.
Then he waved his hand, and Guo Jiang and the others had already taken steps and walked on the road.
"You're dying! You can't die yet!" he said to me, reaching out to my chest.
The heart, which had been slowly losing power, was beating violently in an instant.
He did all this, turned around and set out on that path.
The heart seemed to be being urged by an external force, beating in a panic.
It even made me feel a little pain!
Hurt?
My feelings are slowly coming back!
I was so happy, not only that, but I also started to feel cold!
But how is that possible?
Shouldn't I be devoured by those strange shrimp?
Also, if you kneel naked in the snow for so long, you should have frozen to death a long time ago!
But I felt the hot blood rushing into my limbs in my heart.
The frozen limbs slowly regained consciousness.
By this time the man had reached the end of the road.
But just as he was about to disappear, he suddenly turned around and waved at me.
It was as if I had been pushed into the lake below by some strange force.
A lot of water poured into my mouth, and I struggled desperately.
It was as if I had woken up from a dream and everything around me came back.
I managed to climb to the shore with the help of my unfamiliar water, and I shivered from the cold.
Fortunately, they were kind and left me with the rest of my clothes.
I changed into clean clothes to feel better.
In particular, all the scars on my body are gone.
And I had an extra scar on my heart, like it had been cut by a fingernail.
And on this wound, there appeared something like the black lines that extended from the imprint on my palm.
But what I paid attention to was the brass bell lying quietly at my feet.
Everything just now is actually true!
