XVII. Chinese New Year's Eve Festival
The white clouds and smoke gradually changed into various appearances, like city gates, like war horses, like ghosts, and finally, when the center of the light smoke revealed a black and swarthy hole, Li Qi was suddenly startled, and a cool breeze blew inside, as if it was the same cold as the dungeon, with the same taste, maybe other people would be born afraid of this kind of darkness and dullness, but such a familiar wind made Li Qi's whole body a spirit, and the feeling of staying in the dungeon for 20 years appeared again, Li Qi suddenly found that he was not going to death, but to the light, Walking towards a new world, there is a person who he desires, is opening his arms to welcome Li Qi's arrival, Li Qi is not afraid at all, under Kong Fang's signal, she does not hesitate to bend down into the black hole, as if she is going home (Chapter 17 of the Legend of the Other World).

"Wait," Li Qi entered the entrance of the cave, the clouds and mist behind him began to gradually disperse, and Kong Fang's figure in the world slowly blurred, and at this moment, Kong Fang coldly called Li Qi.
"Have a safe journey!" Kong Fang said lightly.
"Thank you, you've always been a good person." Li Qi smiled gratefully, perhaps, this man is not as bad as he imagined.
The clouds and smoke disappeared, and the surroundings were pitch black, when Li Qi was used to this kind of darkness, she found that she was walking on an endless road, looking up, the stars were all over the dark night sky, and the feeling of the stars shining was even more beautiful than the ghost fire in the sky of the Yinshui Cave, the starry sky pressure was very low, it seemed that you could touch it as soon as you stretched out your hand, and the black pressure around her was full of people, their figures were vague, and everyone was shining with a faint blue light, but some people's light was big, and some people's light was small, Far away, there is a man dressed in a black cloak, holding a small blue lamp in his hand, and the light flickers in the dark world, as if it is a place to go (Legend of the Other World, chapter 17).
"Is this the Night's Festival? Is this on Huangquan Road? Li Qi pondered, this is a slow and long road, when will it be an end. So Li Qi turned his head and asked the figure beside him: "Hey! Are you dead too? ”
The figure next to him didn't speak, as if it wasn't even conscious, let alone able to speak.
After walking for a long time, many figures turned into spheres, floating in the dark world, faintly flashing with a strange light, looking around, now the whole road is basically full of faint spheres, they surround Li Qi, it is never so fantastical beauty, Li Qi is excited to appreciate the different customs of this ghost domain, the beautiful soul is full of the faint sadness of death, that feeling, it is very wonderful.
After walking for a long time, Li Qi was a little tired, and on the fork in the road he walked through, the man holding the blue lantern stopped there, his huge cuffs were like an invisible black hole, putting away those souls that had all turned into spheres, Li Qi walked past him, he nodded politely, and pointed to a different road on the left, which was completely different from those souls.
"Is it there?" Li Qi pointed to the pitch black area on the left, there was no road, and there was no person to guide the way, as if it had collapsed in the underground palace, buried deep in the darkness of the loess.
Seeing that Li Qi could still speak, the guide nodded, bowed down again and asked Li Qi to walk to the left. At this time, a person with the same figure as Li Qi also walked in, Li Qi turned his head to look behind him, slowly on the long road, the sporadic figures were still shaking, Li Qi was slightly relieved, nodded to the guide, and walked deeper into the darkness of the left road.
On this road, nothing could be seen, and the voices of other ghosts could be faintly heard in their ears.
"How far is it......"
"I don't know, some people can't go out, they will get lost in this darkness, and they will not be rescued by the ghost official until after the night festival and when the morning sun rises again after Halloween......"
"I can't hold on......"
"Hold on, this is the real Night's Festival......"
"It's still far ahead......
……
The chaotic sound of speech lingered in Li Qi's ears from time to time, but the sound of talking became less and less, and he didn't know how long he walked in confusion, only the sound of panting was left in his ears, and at this time, Li Qi was so tired that he could barely walk, there was no road in front of him, let alone a way back, Li Qi couldn't stop, and if he stopped, he would only disappear in this darkness.
Get out! Be sure to get out! Be sure to finish it! Li Qi reminded himself from time to time, however, his consciousness was hazy in his helpless cry, until this cry turned into deep despair, and finally, before Li Qi passed out, Li Qi exhaled his last breath and shouted: "Let me out!" ”
However, someone really responded to her: "Want to go out?" See what path you'll take......"
As soon as the words fell, five forks appeared in front of Li Qi, and the signs at the forks were hung on them - Heavenly Domain, Local Domain, Rubik's Cube Domain, Heterogeneous Domain, and Ghost Domain.
Li Qi stopped, she wanted to go to the local domain, but a strange force forced her to change her direction - that road led to the Rubik's Cube domain.
As soon as he stepped into the path of the Ghost Cube, the sky above his head seemed very familiar, and the difference between heaven and earth only seemed to be a faint diaphragm, "This is the Rubik's Cube Domain!" Li Qi was shocked, this is where she grew up, but at this time, the demons found the thin boundary between the Halloween ground and the underground, and they stretched out their heads, and they could easily burrow into the ground and prey on the souls walking on the ground.
"It's the Demon ......" The screams of the other people around him came, and the demons took away one by one as if they were eating, and the few people left around them walked towards the Rubik's Cube Domain, and even the figures wandering on other roads all disappeared.
Li Qi looked up, but these demons, who even ghosts were afraid of, were once so familiar in Li Qi's life - the Firebird, the King of Lanling, the King of Carp, the King of Loulan, and the King of Fenglian......
They all came to prey on the souls when this person was mixed with ghosts, Li Qi excitedly called out their names, and all the fatigue on his body disappeared. Naturally, the demons had already discovered Li Qi walking on the road, some of them shouted, and some of them lingered around Li Qi, without the slightest intention to hurt Li Qi.
Overhead, a terrifying figure slowly came......
"Phosphorus Naan, Phosphorus Naan is also here......" Li Qi exclaimed softly, maybe in this group of demons, only Phosphorus Naan would want to eat Li Qi's idea.
"Li Qi? I almost didn't recognize you after years of not seeing you. He smashed his mouth and grinned.
"Humph! You want to eat me again! Li Qi glanced at phosphorus naan and continued to move forward.
"Eat you?" Phosphorus Naan laughed and said, "After eating you, the Emperor of Day and Night will definitely not let me go even if he dies!" As he spoke, he opened his big mouth and picked up Li Qi.
"What for!" Li Qi exclaimed, he really thought that phosphorus naan was going to eat himself.
"It's a long road, and there's still one more hurdle? If you can't get through, I'll give you a ride! Phosphorus Naan threw Li Qi behind his back and galloped away like a gust of wind.
The cold wind blew through Li Qi's hair, and Li Qi skipped the surviving figures in front of him who were moving forward under the Rubik's Cube Domain, and Li Qi realized that he was indeed lagging behind, such a long road, just like what phosphorus naan said, it was impossible to finish it with his own ability.
Phosphorus Naan ran until he reached a gossip-like formation before stopping: "I can only send you here, the road ahead is more dangerous, you be careful......" Phosphorus Naan said this simply, leaving behind the muddy Li Qi and rushing to the top of the world of the Rubik's Cube Domain.
Li Qi circled, this is a Tai Chi gossip formation map, he is in the center of this formation at this time, there is a door in each of the eight directions of Qiankun, Li Qi thinks that he probably has to walk through this door to really complete the small night sacrifice.
Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, Kan gossip, which door should I choose? Just as Li Qi hesitated, the southwest Kun door opened, Li Qi looked inside, this door looked very pleasing to the eye, Li Qi smiled and walked in.
But just stepped into the Kun Gate, the ground suddenly stretched out countless arms, they were crazy to climb out, the black whirring hand stretched out frantically to Li Qi, they wanted to drag Li Qi down another abyss, whenever this big and small night sacrifice came, here are connected to the earth fire ditch, here that will never be born, the soul of the burning body is waiting to drag another innocent soul to accompany them, Li Qi was shocked, and hurriedly ran out of the Kun Gate, but the door disappeared in an instant, where is there a way to retreat, screams, crying, howling, one after another, Li Qizhi felt that this was an abyss that was even more terrible than the Rubik's Cube Domain, as if all the evil ghosts were coming to collect debts, he was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit, and his body couldn't stop shaking, this was the door of death, but he didn't expect that it was leading to another world that could not be born in the earth, fire, and hell ditch.
"How did I come here, how did I leave this damn little night festival." Li Qi secretly exclaimed in her heart, she thought of Kong Fang who smiled maliciously, it seems that Li Qi misunderstood him, he is not a good thing at all, maybe he is also a soul who will never be born......
At this time, a pair of hands grabbed Li Qi's feet, and he was about to drag himself into the abyss in an instant, which were a pair of children's hands, which were exactly the same hands as his own body.
"Give me back my life......" the hands cried helplessly underground.
"I have no grievances with you...... Li Qigao shouted and tried to escape, but his legs seemed to be nailed.
"Give me back...... You damn it, you fake, your selfishness keeps me from living ......," the underground voice continued.
"It's Li Qi...... Don't look for me......" Li Qi was a spirit, and suddenly understood who the person who grabbed his legs was, the line of defense in his heart and the mouth of the embankment, the flood came in an instant, this is Li Qi's voice, and it is also the deepest uneasiness in Li Qi's heart, at this moment in this world where there is no road at all, here is the lowest level of the ghost domain, leading to the earth and fire ditch, in front of the evil spirit that will never be born, Li Qi's heart is also like falling into the quagmire, she frantically wants to break Li Qi's hand, but it is her body, it is her legs, At this time, Li Qi was powerless, his soul left his body little by little, and the tension along the way made Li Qi, who was now exhausted, have no ability to resist at all, she screamed helplessly, howling in pain, just like this group of ghosts screamed the same sound, the ghosts were even more excited, they climbed out of the ground one after another, overwhelmingly flocking to Li Qi, Li Qi struggled among the ghosts, little by little was eroded, little by little by the ghosts pressed by the black pressed into the earth fire ditch, for thousands of years, The unjust souls who died there await such a time.
"It turns out that Li Qi will never be born here." It's like an abyss of oblivion, and you can't be freed until you drag down the next substitute.
"It's over, am I really going to die? Is everything about to end for me......" The desperate Li Qi didn't even have the ability to say this,
Suddenly, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, the ground shook, only a huge sound was heard, the boundary of the ghost domain cracked alive, outside the sky, out of nowhere, countless blue-black strong lights poured in, little by little smashed on countless ghosts, the strong light did not know where to get the power, it could tear the boundaries of the ghost domain alive, and gave a fatal blow in this world that has never changed, only to hear a buzzing sound, the ghost domain suddenly dimmed, as if it was about to disappear in an instant, At the moment of this flint lightning, the thousands of unjust ghosts lying beside Li Qi disappeared in an instant, everything in the original earth fire and hell ditch was a phantom flashed out of the door of death, and even the ghost domain almost disappeared under this power, this power echoed with the symphony of scales in Li Qi's heart, gushing out like a source of power, Li Qi struggled to climb out of the fallen state of mind with this strength, and the surrounding ghosts disappeared with the state of mind, and the originally dark ghost domain appeared with a thousand feet of light, The earth-fire hell ditch in the phantom is now only a smooth road leading to the ghost domain, Li Qi is like a blind man opening his eyes, it turns out that he is actually going around in a circle, and in the distance, a black and white figure beckons to her.
"It's an old ghost! It was the old ghost who saved me! Li Qi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly ran towards the distant night, the road in front of him became clearer and clearer, and it was getting better and better to walk, but the figure of the night disappeared in Li Qi's galloping, and at the moment when the night disappeared, the last door finally appeared.
"It turns out that the old ghost is in the door!" Li Qi thought in his heart, and casually pushed open this seemingly huge door......
