Chapter 381: Above the Clouds
Someone once said that the person you love will one day come to pick you up with colorful auspicious clouds. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt that time, the light on the horizon was golden, and the clouds seemed to be burning with fire.
Xie Jiuli's mind was thinking about the best scenes, but the wind blowing from his side was as sharp as an ice blade. The difference between dreams and reality is actually sometimes easy to tell. Perhaps, it was a gust of wind blowing over his face, just like waking up in the morning in a daze that accidentally scratched his own skin while shaving. As a trace of blood melted into the white foam, the dream shattered.
In fact, you can't hear the heartbreak at all. It's all illusory.
Xie Jiuli squeezed into the ranks of the hundred ghosts, and then walked up to the bloody road that was dyed by the flesh and blood of the previous ghost king, watching the clouds in the sky float past him, and the light passed through himself and projected farther away. He never lowered his head to look at the blood-colored white bones in front of the stele.
He stood beside him with a pale face, pursed his lips and said nothing. Behind him were Wei Xiaoan and Mo Tutu. Wei Xiaoan held Mo Tutu's hand tightly, his expression complicated and cautious.
Wei Xiaoan thought that this was the best outcome, and they were going to leave this place anyway. After leaving, everything that happens here can be treated as if nothing had happened!
Yes, it's like nothing happened.
But Wei Xiao'an's heart couldn't help but think, if one day he was bound to the stone tablet waiting for the person to be killed...... Is it him, or Mo Tutu, Xie Jiuli - no matter who he is, will he still make such a choice today without hesitation?
Can they be so stubborn that they have even the weight of hesitation in their hearts?
He didn't know the answer, and he didn't want to think about it. As the saying goes, he's dead, at least not for more than a year. Whatever he does, he is dead and will not come back to life if —— is true.
This road does not look any different from a normal road, except that the end of this road is above the clouds. The road took one step at a time, but it didn't take much time. Even soon, Xie Jiuli saw the door.
The colorless gate, pure white like a cloud. The pure white color, the holiness of it, as if it had never been defiled.
Xie Jiuli stood in front of the door of this gate, watching the ghosts around him pass by quietly and orderly, disappearing in front of this door one by one. He didn't know where the door led, and he suddenly began to feel a little worried.
He looked back at him and asked, "Are we really going to go in with them, what if we follow up and find out we're in hell?"
"Don't worry, the other side of this gate is definitely not hell. ”
Xie Jiuli asked, "Why?"
Qian replied, "Today has not completely passed, and the underworld will not interfere with the night walk of the hundred ghosts. Black and white impermanence will only recover these ghosts after this day, and today they can go anywhere they want, meet anyone they meet, and do whatever they want. In a word...... No one will care, and there will be no need to worry about paying for it. ”
Xie Jiuli understood, "Could it be that in the hundred days after the Midyear Festival, Yan Jun will not interfere with the behavior of the hundred ghosts, nor will he restrain their behavior?"
"That's right, in these hundred days, all the ghosts are free. ”
Wei Xiao'an and Mo Tutu came behind Qian Ji and Xie Jiuli and heard the conversation between them. Wei Xiaoan couldn't help asking, "It's okay to kill people and set fires at will?"
Qian Qian nodded again, "The meaning of being unbound is that you can do anything." ”
Wei Xiaoan frowned, puzzled: "It's really unreasonable......
"You humans have a deep-rooted concept of ghosts, that is, as long as there are ghosts and ghosts, there will inevitably be disasters. Not all calamities come from the ghosts, but you humans have blamed them for all their evil deeds in order to shirk your own responsibilities. ”
Wei Xiaoan didn't know how to refute it, after all, all the stories he knew about ghosts were legends.
Obviously didn't want to say much about this question anymore, but said lightly, "Let's wait for the last goblin to disappear in front of this door, and then let's follow in." ”
Mo Tutu asked, "Why don't you go in with you?" Anyway, you won't go to hell after entering. ”
"Aren't you worried that if you follow them, you will follow their path?"
Mo Tutu was speechless: "We look so stupid?"
If you are not afraid of anything, you are afraid of 10,000, so everyone stood in place and waited for the last ghost to disappear from their eyes. After that, he was the first to walk into this pure white door.
Then, the other three followed.
The fog gathered again, as lonely as a wilderness, and there was a dead air everywhere, except for a large door that could be faintly seen in the thick fog. It was a gate carved with a hideous pattern, and three traditional characters were carved into the center.
Death.
The ghost gate is closed, ten people go, and nine don't return. The legendary gate of the junction of yin and yang. Legend has it that every year on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, the ghost gate will be opened once, so that the ghosts who are separated from the underworld can return to the yang world and meet their relatives. It also allows many ghosts whose wishes have not been fulfilled to be able to fully relieve the worries and regrets of the yang world, to repent, to let go, and to finally get out of the sea of suffering. But there are also a large number of lonely ghosts, or powerful ghosts with hatred, who will return to the yang world to do evil.
The ghost gate is closed here, but there is another identity, that is the gate of the grave keeper's world!
Seeing the change in the expressions on the faces of Qian Qian and Xie Jiuli, Wei Xiaoan and Mo Tutu glanced at each other, and Wei Xiaoan asked, "What's wrong with you, do you recognize what kind of place this is?"
Xie Jiuli nodded, then looked back at him and replied, "This is the Ghost Gate." ”
Wei Xiaoan was not shocked, only deeply puzzled: "Didn't you say that we wouldn't come to hell? Why did we still come to the Ghost Gate Pass in the end? Isn't it hell after passing this pass?"
Xie Jiuli shook his head and said, "It's true that this is the Ghost Gate Pass, but this Ghost Gate Pass is not the Ghost Gate Pass we know." Behind this door is neither the earth, nor hell. This is the entrance to the world of the grave keeper, the gate connecting the present world and the world of the grave keeper!"
Wei Xiaoan's face finally began to show shock, "Really?"
Xie Jiuli nodded, "Of course it's true! this is really the entrance to the Tomb Keeper's World!"
