The fish raised by Guo Yuansheng was indeed very useful to Old Man Wang, and after drinking two meals of fish soup, the dead gray on his face had faded a lot, but he was still pale and weak.

Shu Kui went over to guard when he was fine, this concern, even Xing Yuan couldn't understand it, and asked if the two had known each other for a long time.

A few days later, the old man Wang was able to sit up, he leaned against the head of the bed, either looking out the window, or closing his eyes to recuperate, not complaining, ignoring anyone, silent, giving what to eat, and judging the two of them before.

Shu Kui also didn't speak, went to take a look, sat for a while and left.

By the time all four fish were eaten, Old Man Wang seemed to be fine.

On this day, Shu Kui pushed him in a wheelchair and came to the shade of the trees in the yard, and the two were silent as usual, one was in a daze, and the other was by his side.

After a long time, Old Man Wang suddenly spoke: "Shu Kui, apart from staying in Jinzhai, do you know anyone else here?" ”

"The people of the Kuixian Kingdom, the boss and chef of the Sai world, the King of Shengze, the little prince of the merman clan, and the people of Xianyun Town under the mountain." Shu Kui did not hide it at all.

After listening, Old Man Wang didn't make a sound, and after a long time, he said again: "To be honest, I really want to scold you." ”

Shu Kui smiled and didn't make a sound.

Old man Wang sighed: "I am a dying person, you almost died in order to find medicine for me, it is not worth it." ”

Shu Kui still smiled: "Uncle Wang, my life is my life, your life is also my life, there is nothing worth it or not, besides, now, I am not dead, and you are still alive and well, so I am very glad that the choice at that time was correct." ”

"Live well." Old man Wang smiled bitterly.

"Actually, you, me, and Xing Yuan are in the same situation." Shu Kui said that he could completely understand his feelings, "We all left our families and friends suddenly, and when we arrived in this inexplicable place, we met monsters who didn't treat us as human beings, homesick, wanted to go back, and we were going crazy thinking about it." ”

"Yes, in the past 60 years, there has not been a day when I have not complained, complaining about the unfair fate, why is it that I alone will encounter things that others can't meet in several lifetimes." Old man Wang said and looked at Shu Kui's hand, "However, I still have to say that it is really not worth it for you to help me like this, and I am not grateful." ”

At this time, Shu Kui didn't know what to say.

"Having been here for so long, I know what the outcome of suicide is." Old man Wang continued, "When my wife left, it was the big tree who took me to send her, I once asked the ghost who came to pick it up, and then reincarnated, can I return to the world, do you know how he answered me?" He said that our souls are incomplete, and those who have sinned heavily in life will suffer forever in hell, and those with light sins can only wander on the Huangquan Road and cannot be reincarnated. ”

Shu Kui was stunned, he didn't expect it to be like this.

"For so many years, I pinned my hopes on the afterlife, but I didn't have an afterlife." Old man Wang smiled bitterly again, "I've lived enough, I don't want any more souls - after committing suicide and dying, my soul is scattered and liberated." ”

If this is indeed the case, Shu Kui will really be a disadvantage.

"Send me back, I want to rest." In the end, after recovering from a serious illness, Old Man Wang said so many words that he felt tired.

Shu Kui pushed him back into the room, watched him lie down, closed his eyes, and left.

Throughout the day, Old Man Wang's words were like a thorn, which kept sticking to Shu Kui's heart, making her a little puzzled, and began to review the whole thing.

At first, she went out of the village to look for medicine, purely stimulated by the doctor's indifferent attitude, holding her breath, wanting them to see that human beings are not useless. However, after encountering so many horrible things in the woods, she was completely discouraged and wanted to hurry back to the village, but at that moment, the flare gun was lost.

The next thing that happened, now that I think about it, I am still in a trance, if it is a dream, Shu Kui is willing to believe it.

After coming back, when she heard the doctor say "Old Man Wang is no good", at that moment, her sadness and sadness were like a flood that burst the embankment, and she thought that no one could help except herself, and she must use all means to save Old Man Wang.

Speaking of which, she prides herself on being a kind-hearted person, but when she calms down and thinks about it, she has never been so careless.

Perhaps, it was the feeling of empathy that made her too obsessed - and in the end, she came up with what she thought was the most plausible explanation.

That night, I don't know what time it was, Shu Kui was suddenly awakened by a gentle knock on the door.

She got up and opened the door, and saw Old Man Wang standing there: "Uncle Wang, what's wrong?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

Old man Wang smiled unexpectedly, turned around and left.

Shu Kui saw that the direction he was going was not the room, but outside the door, and couldn't help but be shocked and anxious, and hurriedly followed: "Uncle Wang, it's so late, where are you going?" ”

"I want to see my wife." Old man Wang replied, and his feet did not stop.

"Your wife?" Shu Kui thought he had misheard.

Old man Wang looked back at her: "Yes, she has done two halves, and after being tried, she should still be there." ”

"What about you...... How are you going to get there? Shu Kui thought, is Old Man Wang dead?

Old man Wang didn't answer, and pointed ahead: "Look, someone has come to pick it up." ”

Looking along his fingers, sure enough, there was a person fluttering there, dressed in black hanging on his skinny body, with a pale face and a stern expression.

"Are you ......" Shu Kui didn't dare to ask again.

Old man Wang watched the man in black come closer, nodded at him and said hello, then turned around and asked, "Do you want to go together?" ”

Shu Kui didn't know how to answer for a while.

The man in black also saw Shu Kui: "Did you see you off?" Until the ghost gate is closed. ”

"Okay." Shu Kui felt that since Old Man Wang came to find her before leaving, he should have wanted her to see her off.

Seeing that Shu Kui agreed, the man in black took out an iron chain behind him, shook it, and put it on the wrists of the two of them, connecting them together.

"What is this for?" Shu Kui was very unhappy, as if he was being treated as a criminal.

"Protection." The man in black replied, "Otherwise, if I am taken captive by those guys in the sinking forest, the Kui Xian Ling family will come to me and ask for someone, and I won't be able to give it back." ”

"We're going through the Sunken Forest?" At the mention of this, Shu Kui was a little scared.

"There is always only one way to and from the underworld." The man in black said, pulled up the chain and set off.

Shu Kui followed closely, feeling that she was moving at a normal speed, but the scenery around her was moving rapidly, and the gate of Liujinzhai was completely useless, and she couldn't feel that the mountain road was rugged, and her feet were as flat as a cement road.

In just ten minutes, they had come to a small path.

Looking at the dark forests on both sides of the road, Shu Kui couldn't help but panic, so he started to talk, wanting to relieve his nervousness: "Is it dawn?" We've been walking all night? ”

"No, it's still night." The man in black said coldly.

"But the sun is almost out." Shu Kui pointed to the fiery red morning glow on the horizon.

The man in black didn't raise his head: "There will be no sun here, that, it's the karmic fire of hell." ”

Shu Kui was dumbfounded, and there was nothing to say.

"Follow me, whatever you hear or see, don't look back, don't run around." After the man in black finished his instructions, he stepped onto the path.

Shu Kui has been here and still remembers it vividly.

Just like last time, in the forest by the roadside, there were countless shaking black shadows and chattering whispers. Old man Wang was not affected at all, and walked forward without squinting, but Shu Kui's heart was beating faster and faster, and he couldn't help but think about it.

"Shu Kui, stop." Behind him, Ling Jiuchuan's voice suddenly sounded.

Shu Kui was startled, gritted his teeth, and ignored it.

"Where are you going? Don't go any further, there's a ghost gate ahead. Ling Jiuchuan sounded very anxious, "Have you forgotten what happened last time?" ”

Shu Kui was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing her in a daze, the man in black knew very well what would happen, so he immediately pulled the chain and urged: "There is nothing behind you, go quickly." ”

Shu Kui came back to his senses and hurriedly followed and continued to move forward.

"Stop, Shu Kui." Ling Jiuchuan's voice became louder, "Take a closer look, the two in front of you are wild ghosts from the Sinking Forest. ”

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the man in black turned his head, and Shu Kui saw that the flesh on his face quickly rotted and fell off, revealing Sensen's white bones.

And the situation of the old man Wang was not much better, while walking, a large amount of blood began to appear under his feet, and after a while, he sighed, stretched out his hand, and actually pulled out a piece of black and red intestines.

Shu Kui almost screamed, his feet seemed to be firmly nailed to the ground, and it was difficult to move a single bit.

"Let's go." The man in black looked a little impatient, and patted Shu Kui Tianling on the lid.

Shu Kui only felt that a cold wind was blowing on his face, and suddenly he was excited, and his mind was clear.

The black-clothed man and Old Man Wang in front of him all returned to normal, and Ling Jiuchuan's voice didn't sound anymore.

The three of them continued on, and after a few more moments, a man emerged from the woods.

She stood on the side of the road with an expressionless face, and between her eyebrows, she was six or seven points similar to Shu Kui.

With the experience just now, Shu Kui calmed down a lot, and kept silently reciting "This is not Xiao Di" in his heart, while passing by this person.

The trail is not very long, it takes a few minutes to reach the end.

Shu Kui saw clearly this time, on the two huge black iron doors, there was a black plaque with a few blood-red characters written "Netherworld Ghost Gate".

The man in black stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the small window on the door opened.

"Open up, I'm bringing someone back." He said towards the window.

The iron door creaked, opening a passage more than wide for the two of them.

"Okay, you wait for me here, I'll send him in, and then I'll send you back." Entering the door, the man in black removed the chain on Shu Kui's wrist.

"What will happen to Uncle Wang? Will you be disillusioned if you go in again? Shu Kui couldn't help but ask.

The man in black didn't answer, pulled the old man Wang away, and at the same time, intentionally or unintentionally, glanced out of the iron gate.

The iron door was still creaking and slowly closing, and just when the passage was only half a person wide, suddenly a man turned sideways and squeezed in.
