"Oh, oh, in addition to wanting to repay you, there is another reason that if the paradise can be purified, there will be a very strong heaven and earth aura inside, which will be helpful to our cultivation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You're just trying to get a cleaner to clean the house for you, and then you can live in it."

"Great, my lord, you summed it up brilliantly!"

"Hmph, what's the origin of that miasma monster, you so many monsters can't beat one of others?"

"Huh...... Ahem, that miasma youkai is very evil, and all the youkai that come close to it will be confused. I heard that only the purest demon will not be tricked. ”

"I'm not a pure-minded demon, and I can't resist temptation."

"No, isn't there still that adult?"

"Sir is so sullen, and his mind is not pure."

"Hey, human, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

"Sir, I know you heard me, and you say, do you want to go?"

"Go."

......

The gentleman has spoken, and I can only follow in his footsteps.

I asked my husband, "What about my final exams?" ”

The gentleman replied, "Cold salad." ”

Sir must have missed the cold salad I made last time, I thought.

Without further ado, taking advantage of the fact that today, Saturday, and tomorrow weekend, the school will not be in session, and the matter of Xanadu will be solved quickly.

So, on this cold and howling night, the skull leader led us to the alley, and on the way we met an old woman with gray and messy hair, sitting on the edge of the alley, tossing the copper coins in her hand. She glanced sideways at me, but the copper coin in her hand fell onto the crutch next to her, and the crutch rolled out right at my feet.

"Little girl, don't explore the depths of the alley, stop."

She spoke softly and casually, and she looked like an ordinary old woman who was a little strange, but an ordinary old woman would not say such a thing to me.

"Mother-in-law, to borrow an excuse, I'm just going home."

"Sitting in the cave of ten thousand bones, there is a demon in his heart. Little girl, don't admit that you are wrong about the way home. ”

"Thank you mother-in-law for the reminder."

I stepped over the cane and was about to walk forward, when there was a sound of breaking the air behind me, and I flashed sideways and caught the copper coin. Without stopping, I followed the skull to the entrance of what he called a paradise.

It was just an ordinary earthen wall, with a bucket of water next to it, and it was emitting a disgusting smell. Not far away was an old-fashioned house, the red lacquered door was open, and a bright light was coming out of the house, and a middle-aged man with a slender figure was walking towards me with a small bucket, and I thought he would do something drastic, such as throwing something from the bucket at me. I didn't think that someone else just poured the contents of the bucket into the bucket.

Well, it's just a guy who came to pour water.

However, this person looks a little familiar, and it seems that he is the owner of the noodle restaurant I used to frequent?

I immediately made up my mind that I would never eat at that noodle restaurant again.

At this time, the old woman also came over and happened to meet this middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man roughly pulled the old woman's clothes: "Crazy woman, I'm still walking outside at night, do you want to die!" ”

When both of them entered the house and closed the door, I looked around and there was no one.

"Skeleton, how do you get in?"

"My lord, just close your eyes and walk there."

"Oh."

I followed the skeleton's words, closed my eyes, touched the wall, and walked inside, only to feel the light in front of my eyes, and I entered the other world unimpeded.

Cold, bone-chilling.

My teeth chattered, and I couldn't even think.

A warm current came from my wrist and filled my body for a moment, and I exhaled comfortably. That's when I began to observe my surroundings.

The sky was dark, and a gray atmosphere enveloped the entire forest.

As far as the eye could see, it was scorched black, not a single grass grows, the withered trees fell crookedly on either side, there were no animals, no wind, no sound, and the silence around was as if walking into a vacuum. The mist that permeated the surface of the ground gradually dispersed, and dense white bones covered the entire road, stretching into the depths of the forest. There was a black mist wafting from the bones, trees, and even stones, like resentful spirits, silently screaming their dissatisfaction.

It was lifeless, like an abandoned place.

"Skeleton, is all this caused by that youkai?"

"Listen to the monsters who escaped, everything here is directly caused by that monster."

"Escaped youkai?"

"Yes, my lord, among the monsters you rescued that day were the natives of this place. According to them, on the day of the miasma outbreak, many monsters escaped from it, and those who did not escape were attached to this land and did not want to leave, and some did not have time to escape. Later, this paradise was closed, and it was not until recently that this paradise fell here and opened the passage. ”

"So, you don't know about that miasma monster."

"Well...... this"

It seems that we will have to wait until we find the miasma monster to figure out the cause and effect.

"Sir, can you sense where that miasma monster is?"

"Go into the forest, and be careful not to touch the black mist."

"Sir, it's all here, why don't you stay still?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

I touched the gentleman who was still holding the bracelet and said stingy. Mr. is not a last resort, and resolutely refuses to transform, I miss that majestic gentleman so much. But looking at the lazy appearance of the gentleman, as if he didn't see anything in his eyes, I think this place is nothing to the gentleman.

Thinking about it like this, my heart is settled.

I walked along the only path that led deep into the forest. At first I could see some changes in the scenery around me, one tree had only stumps left, another tree had only leaves left, and one tree had a darker atmosphere.

"What lies ahead, sir?"

"Sir, is this place really a legendary secret place?"

"Sir, I'm getting colder."

My husband and I and the skull discussed what to eat when we got home. I don't know when, there was no sound around, no mocking voice of the gentleman, no sound of the skull shouting for mercy.

"Sir."

"Skull."

"Sir, Skull, where are you—"

There was no response, dead silence. I couldn't even hear my own breathing.

I stood still, and the panic in my heart began to spread.

I walked mechanically forward, and kept walking, and I walked and walked, and my eyes could no longer distinguish the changes, nor my ears could hear the sounds, nor could I even feel the cold, nor could I feel the passage of time, nor the changes in space, but in front of me was the ever-same tree and the never-ending road. I was the only one left in heaven and earth, walking on an endless road. There was a sudden desolation and loneliness in my heart, and it was as if I had been on this path for hundreds or thousands of years.

"Lonely?" A distant voice sounded in my ears.
