Chapter 159: The Boundary Between Life and Death
The two of them and a cat walked on the deserted mountain path, the wind walked quietly in front of the road, Luo Hua followed behind and shouted, he could always find some interesting things, such as the little hedgehog curled up on the side of the road, and the gray cloth hanging from the dead tree, which always aroused his strong curiosity.

"Feng Jin, what do you mean by the strips of cloth hanging on the tree?" Luo Hua asked, pointing to the branch of a dead tree on the side of the road.
Gray strips of cloth were fluttering in the wind, like a conjuring banner by the grave.
As soon as Luo Hua finished asking, he couldn't help but shudder, and his whole body kept shaking, and he felt that this place was a little weird.
"If you don't care about these things, your life will be more comfortable, and it's not a good thing to be too curious." Feng Jin said without looking back.
"Why does that strip of cloth look so sad when it hangs alone on a tree?"
"If you knew what it was, you wouldn't be so interested in it......"
"What the hell is it? It feels really uncomfortable to keep me appetizing! ”
"It was a shroud, and whenever someone died in Sandaoxing Village, the relatives would tear off the last cloth of the deceased and hang it on a tree to commemorate the deceased."
Luo Hua suddenly realized and said: "Not only does the name of this village sound strange, but I didn't expect that the customs are also different from other places, why is there such a heritage?" ”
"I don't know about that...... I heard that it was to let the soul of the deceased reach the Nai He Bridge safely and smoothly enter the river of rebirth to be reincarnated. ”
"Oh, it's hard to understand, it's just a strip of cloth, and it means so much."
Feng Jin reminded: "There are still many strange things in the village, when the time comes, you must not ask nonsense, keep your mouth shut, otherwise I will lose my life." ”
Luo Hua's voice stopped abruptly, he covered his mouth, kept nodding, and said vaguely: "Don't worry, I will never ask questions, and I will not joke with my life." ”
"That's good. We have to speed up, otherwise we won't be able to enter the village as soon as it gets dark, and it's very dangerous outside. Feng said carefully.
"Dangerous outside the village?" Luo Hua thought silently in his heart, but this time he didn't ask Feng Jin again, he could see that Feng Jin's expression was anxious, he had only been to this mysterious village once, and this time he was not very familiar with the route, so Feng Jin didn't dare to take risks, and he had to enter the village before it got dark, so as not to cause trouble.
The trees on both sides of the path are very dense, and the sky-high trees block the sunlight, and the light under the trees is very dim, and you can only see the scene a few hundred meters in front of you, and beyond that, only a gray patch remains.
Feng Jin took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, four o'clock in the afternoon, according to the time when the sun goes down now, there are about two hours or so before dark, the biggest problem is that I don't know how far the road ahead is, when he came here or when he was very young, his memory is already very vague, and now he is not familiar with the route at all.
"How long do you have to go?" Luo Hua said weakly in the back.
He felt that his legs were no longer his own, he had not rested for two or three hours just now, and if he continued to walk, his legs would probably fall into the root of the disease, so he insisted on stopping and resting.
Feng Jing couldn't resist Luo Hua, and said: "I can only rest for a while, I don't know how far there is next, it is rumored that this place is extremely dangerous after dark, and only by entering the village can we ensure safety, once we encounter a danger that we can't deal with, we have to save our lives here today." ”
"I know...... Take a break to recover your strength, isn't it also to better hurry, as the so-called sharpening the knife does not mistake the woodcutter, you should understand this truth, you can speed up after resting. ”
Of course, this truth is clear to Feng Jin, but now the situation is very special, no one can guarantee whether he can reach Sandaoxing Village before dark, at this time he regretted a little in his heart, he didn't plan well this time, he knew to call the master to ask about the situation here before making a decision, rashly entered the boundary of Sandaoxing Village, now it is called Tiantian should not be called the earth is not spiritual, everything can only rely on himself.
Thinking about this behavior is a bit big, but there is no hope of turning back, so I can only go one way to the dark. Feng didn't care about Luo Hua, who insisted on resting for a while, and dragged him up from the ground to continue his journey.
At some point, a puff of smoke began to rise from the woods on both sides of the path, which spread to the path, and the visibility became even worse, and you could only see a few dozen meters ahead.
Wind continued to walk forward silently, obsidian crouching on his shoulder and looking around as if he were facing a great enemy, his eyes constantly rolling, as if he noticed some threat around him.
"Why is there smoke all of a sudden? Not yet? Luo Hua asked puzzled.
"The sun is about to set, the temperature in the woods is starting to drop, the moisture in the air is condensing into mist, nothing strange, it's just that the visibility is getting worse, which is very bad for us." Feng Jin explained.
Luo Hua nodded, agreeing with Feng Jin's statement.
However, he was still not at ease, and after a few glances behind him, he found that the road he had just walked was already shrouded in smoke and could not be seen at all.
The two of them were almost blackened in the smoke, Luo Hua wanted to stop and rest several times, but was dragged by the wind, no matter how difficult it was, he had to persevere, he vaguely felt that something was wrong with the smoke.
"Look ahead! Is there something standing there? Luo Hua pointed ahead and said.
Feng Jin looked around, and indeed saw a hazy black shadow in the smoke, which looked more than a person tall, square, like a stone tablet.
He was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that he should have reached the edge of Sandaoxing Village, and couldn't help but speed up his pace. When he saw the true face of the black shadow, his heart full of anticipation suddenly fell to the bottom.
The two stood under the stele and looked at each other, and the stele was more than one person high, giving people a feeling of great heaviness.
There is a huge character engraved on both sides of the stele, one side of the direction of the road is engraved with "life", and the other side is engraved with "death"!
Luo Hua asked with a shocked face, "Is this ...... What is it?! ”
"The boundary between life and death." Feng said solemnly, his gaze never left the stone tablet from beginning to end, as if something magical on it was attracting him.
Luo Hua checked it several times and determined that there were only two words on the stele, why did Feng Jin keep staring at it? Can you still see the flowers?
"Is this monument the boundary between life and death?"
Feng Jin nodded and said: "That's right, when you enter the realm of death, you have entered the realm of Sandaoxing Village, and you must pay attention to every word and deed in the future, and try not to speak if you can." ”
"Oh, it's all up to you." Luo Hua said, since he came here, he could only be at the mercy of Feng Jin, and now he has a feeling of getting on a thief ship, and he was once again pitted by Feng Jin.
"Can we get out when we go in?" Luo Hua asked again, this was the question he was most concerned about.
"What do you think?"
"Looking at your expression, why do I feel hopeless?"
"So what? Now that I've come here, there's no turning back, and as for whether I can come out unharmed, I can't guarantee that I can remember what I said, and try not to talk without opening my mouth, and I'll take care of everything. ”
Luo Hua muttered: "Then I'll pretend to be a dumb person......"
"That's great!"
"Good mom you're big!" Luo Hua scolded. (To be continued.) )
