Chapter 33: The Ghost Forest
The ghost realm forest, ten miles south of the city, has a radius of nearly 1,000 acres. The www.biquge.info stream meanders through it, then turns around and flows eastward. The journey was not far, Su Jin set off early in the morning, and after half a day of sailing, he saw a lush forest in front of him.
Before I got too close, I felt a cool breeze blowing in the forest, it was almost summer, but it still made people feel cold, and it was really a place with a lot of yin qi. However, thinking that the worm marrow can be the king here, it is estimated that the other monsters are not enough to be troubled, after all, the worm marrow has died in his hands Su Jin, and Jiuyu has already given birth to five fox tails, which is equivalent to three thousand years of Taoism, and the ordinary little demon, Su Jin really doesn't care about it.
Su Jin thought of his own advantages to give himself courage, and seeing that the Ghost Realm Forest was in front of him, Su Jin took a deep breath and beckoned Jiuyu to go ashore together.
Tie the boat to a big tree surrounded by three people, Su Jin saw that Jiuyu's eyes were squinting and seemed to be very sleepy, knowing that his demonic power was overdrawn and he had not completely recovered his senses, so he picked up Jiuyu so that it could save some effort.
After walking a short distance, I saw a man in black standing there leaning against a tree, with a golden mask on his face, his hands around his chest, and a red-gold sword in his right hand.
"Vanin? What are you doing here? Su Jin walked a few steps quickly and came to Fanyin.
"Master Su, I know that you won't go back when you come out this time. Sister Fanli is dead, I have nothing to worry about, I want to walk with you and see the world. Can Su Gongzi dislike me, a disfigured person, who hurt Gongzi's elegance? Vanin stood up straight, it was a joke, but he was serious.
Su Jin smiled: "Why, thank you for helping me, if we can get out of this ghost realm forest, my son will take you to this world for a walk." ”
The two looked at each other and nodded, and walked side by side towards the dense part of the jungle, the further inside, the darker it became, and now it was ten o'clock in the afternoon, but the forest was like night, and the sunlight seemed to be absorbed by the stacks of leaves. It's very quiet, and it doesn't look like there are a lot of youkai at all.
Suddenly, a string of bright light swam in front of him in a trance, Su Jin was frightened, screamed, and hid behind Fan Yin: "Demon ...... Monster! ”
Fan Yin looked at Su Jin's trembling fingers: "Why did Su Gongzi forget, it was a streamer, I let them explore the way." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and beckoned the streamer back, and the streamer seemed to sense the master's breath, gathered over, and condensed into a string of bracelets on Fanyin's hand.
"There's no danger ahead, let's go." Vanin took the lead. Su Jin knew that there was a false alarm, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.
The trees are getting taller and taller, not the usual willows, with dark trunks and round, small leaves, somewhat like locust trees. Most of them are such unknown tall trees. Because this kind of tree is tall and covers the sky, the other trees in the forest do not get enough nutrients, and the days are long, and gradually only a few are left. There are more low bushes and mosses, and vines that wrap around the trees, with large flowers, clinging to the trunks.
"This is just an ordinary forest, it covers a larger area, and I don't see any demons, how can it be called a ghost forest?" Su Jin asked Fan Yin who was walking in front strangely.
Hearing him ask, Vanin stopped and turned around to answer, but opened his mouth but did not speak. "Fanyin, what do I ask you~ Fanyin?" Su Jin shook his hand in front of Fan Yin's eyes.
"Master Su, don't look back!" Fanyin's face became ugly, he squeezed out these words from between his teeth, pulled Su Jin and ran forward. Jiuyu also woke up, jumped from Su Jin's arms to the ground, and quickly ran forward with Fan Yin.
Su Jin ran and glanced backwards, my God! Just this glance, it didn't scare Su Jin down: I saw that the road they walked on was already full of thorns one person high, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance, so many thorns crossed together, blocking the way back, and those things were still spreading forward, and they were about to be entangled in that mess.
The thorns were getting closer and closer, and Su Jin's eyes widened, where were the thorns, and it turned out to be miserable white bones, both animal and human, because he saw a human skull. The sharp broken bones stood there coldly, without a trace of life.
No wonder the quiet mystery in this forest, it turns out that those who come here are dead, whether you are a human or a demon, if you are entangled by the bones full of yin energy, you will only have to wait for death, and when you die, the bones will also melt into this pile of thorns, and the soul will not be reincarnated, only increase the resentment of this bone. So this bone, called "Thousand People's Grievances", is common in ancient battlefields and tombs, and those who encounter it die!
The two of them and a fox ran forward quickly, trying in vain to shake off the piles of bones that were getting higher and higher, how many unjust souls did it take to form the current scale.
"Thousands of resentments" chased after him, and Su Jin really couldn't run: "Jiuyu, don't you know how to fox fire, can't you burn them, you really can't run!" ”
Jiuyu stopped and waited for him: "No, there are too many, they can't be burned at once, it will arouse their resentment, and it will be even more difficult to get out at that time, this kind of thing, it's better to mess with less!" Hurry up, they're coming, and if you get entangled, you'll be turned into bones! After saying that, he didn't look back and ran.
"Jiuyu! You wait for me! Su Jin looked back, he was about to be caught up, he screamed, his legs were no longer sore, his waist was not painful, and he caught up with the fox in front of him like a gust of wind. Jiuyu smiled in a low voice, this person is squeamish, he always regards himself as a noble son, and it is all good to be scared.
A huge ancient tree appeared in front of it, the trunk was as thick as ten people hugging it, the old skin on the trunk was cracked, and Jiuyu jumped up the tree in twos: "You two come up quickly!" ”
Su Jin and Fan Yin climbed onto the tree, and Su Jin hung himself on a thick branch, his hands and feet drooping, and he closed his eyes and panted. "Hold your breath!" Jiuyu leaned over and told him.
Su Jin held his breath with a sad face, looked under the tree, and quickly retracted his hands and feet, and squatted on the branch honestly!
The white bones under the tree rolled forward violently, and when he passed by the tree, there was a sudden pause, and Su Jin covered his mouth and nose with his hand in fright, preventing his breath from overflowing.
The white bone complex moved forward again, and when the "thousand resentments" were far away, Jiuyu said to Su Jin: "Okay, put it down, don't suffocate to death!" Actually, it's not that I can't burn that thing, it's just that those people died pitifully, and I can't bear to let them die again, just stay out of the way. ”
Su Jin looked at him and didn't speak.
