The next day was a sunny day, Shu Kui thought that he would be able to go home today, and couldn't help but be full of joy, and came to Wanji Building early in the morning, waiting for Ling Jiuchuan to pick him up.

Not long after the door opened, just as she was pretending to dust off her feather duster, a soft voice sounded behind her.

"Excuse me, are you Shu Kui?"

Shu Kui turned around suddenly, and his eyes lit up.

The girl standing there was about the same age as her, her eyebrows were like curved willow leaves, her eyes were like autumn water, her nose was beautiful and her lips were like condensed skin, her long black and shiny hair hung down to her waist, she wore a sleeveless silk dress and half-heeled sandals, and she was slender and light like a fairy descending to earth.

"You...... Who are you? Shu Kui was dumbfounded.

"My name is Jin Luoluo, hello." The girl generously introduced herself, "I am Elder Jin's niece and live in Haocang Palace. ”

Shu Kui said "oh", and he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

It was Bai Jingzhi, who heard the noise and hurriedly ran down from the upper floor: "Oh, Miss Luo Luo, you are here, you have missed the distance, forgive your sins, forgive your sins." ”

Jin Luoluo smiled at him, and then turned to Shu Kui and said, "I heard that you were found by His Majesty in the Matama Wood Forest the night before yesterday?" ”

Shu Kui nodded.

"You still went to the race room and ate Guo Yuansheng's dishes for two nights in a row?" Jin Luoluo continued to ask.

"yes." Shu Kui still nodded, not understanding what she wanted to know.

Jin Luoluo laughed: "Yesterday, after Chef Guo came to bring you breakfast, you became a celebrity - it's not easy to eat a meal from him, I've begged for a long time, but I haven't eaten it yet." ”

These words made Shu Kui a little embarrassed, so he had to smile and be speechless.

"By the way, today is the day when everything is open, Lord Bai, aren't you going?" Jin Luoluo changed his words.

"The small one has to guard the Wanji Building, and he doesn't dare to leave his post without permission." Bai Jingzhi bowed and replied.

"What about you? You don't plan to go back either? Jin Luoluo looked at Shu Kui.

"Go back, I'm waiting for Ling Jiuchuan." Shu Kui told the truth.

"Majesty?" Jin Luoluo was slightly surprised, "Your Majesty has something important, I went out last night, and I won't be able to come back until tomorrow." Why, he didn't sue you? ”

"No ......" Shu Kui said "boom" in his head, completely out of ideas.

"That's ......" Jin Luoluo lowered his head, thought for a while, and suddenly said to Bai Jingzhi that he wanted to drink water.

Bai Jingzhi got the order and hurriedly ran to the pantry.

"I can take you." Jin Luoluo said in a low voice.

"Really?" Shu Kui thought he had misheard.

"Really." Jin Luoluo looked serious, "I also left my hometown to come here, and I know very well what it is like to be homesick." My parents are gone, but you still have family, and they must be worried about you. ”

In just a few words, every sentence entered Shu Kui's heart, which made her feel sad, and she choked up a little: "Our family went out to play, at night, my sister and I were walking, she was missing, and now I can't go back here, I really don't know what my parents will be in a hurry." ”

Jin Luoluo patted the back of her hand to show comfort: "While Bai Jingzhi hasn't come back yet, let's go quickly, even if we go back to take a look, it's good to say a word." ”

Shu Kui nodded vigorously, wiped her eyes, and hurriedly followed Jin Luoluo to her room on the second floor of the palace.

It's an authentic boudoir, with cute little things scattered everywhere, and the dresser is full of delicate and beautiful bottles and cans, and on the wall hangs a bust portrait of a family of three, with an embroidered stretch underneath and a semi-finished shelf on it.

Jin Luoluo walked to a blank wall and said in a low voice: "Through the Netherworld, up to the Nine Heavens, all the dust and the mysterious realm, everywhere, all to the Tao, now." ”

After finishing speaking, he gently pushed on the wall, and the wall slowly turned into two iron doors, which slowly opened.

She beckoned to Shu Kui and walked in first.

Shu Kui followed, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that there was a wide and unusual stone road under his feet, with black overhead, as if walking in a tunnel, and a wooden stake was erected at intervals on the side of the road, and snow-white lanterns were hung on the pile, which illuminated every qiē clearly.

There are a lot of people here, as if they appeared out of thin air, some walking alone, some in groups of three or five, coming and going, with different expressions.

Jin Luoluo walked a few steps, and took out a small cloth bag out of nowhere: "Outside the exit of the world, it is estimated that it is not your final destination, so the one or two gold in it will give you the travel expenses." ”

Shu Kui was both moved and grateful, and was speechless for a while.

"Take it." Jin Luoluo sent the cloth bag forward, "Or, are you actually rich, or, don't you like such a little gold?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shu Kui had no choice but to take them, and at the same time, he sincerely expressed his gratitude.

Jin Luoluo said, "You're welcome", began to look around, and talked about the scene when he was a child, when he first entered the road.

Shu Kui listened, responding, and inadvertently, the corner of his eye swept to a familiar figure.

She was stunned, she couldn't believe it, and hurriedly fixed her eyes to take a closer look, and sure enough, the person walking not far in front looked like Shu Di.

"Ogi-chan!" She screamed in disbelief and subconsciously.

The man in front of him hesitated slightly, turned his head slightly, and then quickened his pace and continued to walk.

Although he only saw half of his face, Shu Kui was 100% sure that this was his sister Shu Di.

"Ogi, wait." She was anxious and excited, and she couldn't care much more, and she just wanted to catch up.

Shu Di walked briskly, but three or five meters away, haunting the crowd, flickering and flickering.

Shu Kui followed the trot, from time to time to avoid the oncoming people, the speed was not fast, and he couldn't close the distance between the two.

She called as she ran, hoping to get Shu Di's attention, but Shu Di turned a deaf ear and walked in a hurry, as if she was in a hurry to go somewhere.

The two of them went one after the other, and I don't know how long it took, Shu Di disappeared suddenly, and they couldn't be found again.

Shu Kui let out an "oops" in his heart, looked around in a daze, and found that he had gone out of the road, standing in a completely unfamiliar place, there was no wide stone road, no snow-white lanterns, surrounded by dense forests, dimly lit, only a sheep intestine path, I don't know where it leads.

The sky seemed to be dusk, and the sunset in the distance was like blood.

"Look, look, someone's coming." Suddenly, there was a whisper in the woods

Shu Kui looked in the direction where the voice came from, but found nothing.

"Is it human? Really people? Another man asked in a whisper, hoarse and panting.

In an instant, there was a rustling sound everywhere in the forest, and Shu Kui felt that she was surrounded, with countless pairs of eyes flashing in the darkness, and malicious eyes swept over her.

"Man, someone's coming!" With the strange laughter of the excruciating roar, a pitch-black and dry hand stretched out and quickly grabbed Shu Kui's wrist.

Shu Kui was defenseless, and was immediately caught, only to feel that his hand was cold and hard, and his palm was as rough as sandpaper.

The fear in her heart was indescribable, and she struggled with goosebumps all over her body.

Fortunately, the hand was only tentative, and the grip was not very tight, and when she struggled, she escaped the clamp.

Once she was free, she didn't want to linger here any longer, so she hurried along the sheep intestine path and ran forward as fast as she could.

On the way, my body was constantly touched by something, and I didn't know if it was the branches and leaves or the "people" in the forest.

Shu Kui felt that he had run far, far away, and the sheep intestine path had finally come to an end, but what appeared in front of him was not a city or a village, but two huge black iron gates.

She was a little confused for a while, she couldn't figure out where this was, and she didn't dare to rush forward.

"She's going in, she's going in." Behind him, the pursuers approached.

Shu Kui turned around and looked at the dark jungle, and could feel that the air was getting colder and colder, and the sky was getting darker and darker, as if something was covering the sky and the sun.

She involuntarily began to tremble, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to run to the door and thrashed hard: "Help, help, open the door, help me!" ”

There was an immediate response from inside, and a small window on the door was "brushed" open, and a voice asked, "Where is Lu Yin?" ”

"Lu Yin? What way? Shu Kui was confused.

"No wayfinding?" The voice said, "Is there any money?" ”

"Money?" Shu Kui is still confused.

"No money?" The voice was unhappy, "Then what is valuable about you?" Take them all out for me to see. ”

Shu Kui trembled, suddenly thought of the small cloth bag given by Jin Luoluo, and hurriedly handed it in from the window.

"That's it, call Hanako!" The sound paused for a second or two, and then sounded again unhappily, the cloth bag was thrown back, and the small window was "brushed" shut again.

This time, no matter how Shu Kui slapped or said good things, there was no sound inside.

At this moment, the pursuers have arrived in front of them, first countless black shadows, and then slowly show their original appearance, charred black, mutilated, rotten, and seemingly not good.

Shu Kui was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground unconsciously, simply closing his eyes and resigning himself to fate.

The next moment, the cold tide came and quickly engulfed her, and all the skin on her body was torn and painful, as if it had been forcibly peeled off. Fortunately, this torture did not last long, and after about ten seconds, the top of her head was cold, and her whole body suddenly felt relaxed, and she fluttered like a cloud.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was one hand at a time, and while pulling at him, he was constantly killing each other, so that for a while, no one could win.

Subsequently, Shu Kui found that she was floating in the air, with a person lying at her feet, with a goose egg face, shoulder-length hair, and closed eyes.

How so? For a moment, her mind went blank, and only the question kept circling.

And just in the moment of her stunnedness, a hand finally waited for the opportunity, and grabbed her ankle tightly, and the long, sharp nails were like the jagged teeth of a trap.

Pain, doubt, panic, despair, all these came to her mind, and she looked at the sunset on the horizon for the last time, and it was as if she had been pressed into the water, and for a moment, she could not hear anything, see nothing, and feel nothing but coldness around her.
