Chapter 118: The Ghost Gate
Everyone looked at the ghostly black gate in front of them and looked back, only to see that it was pitch black, and the way they came was long gone, so they had only this one way to choose. This group of people was all embarrassed, many of them still had blood stains on their bodies, obviously they had experienced some bad things, especially bad things, it was our Luo Lan and his party, and then he and He Xin saved many people, and it took more than half a month to come here.
Those who had just woken up from the fierce battle couldn't help but swallow hard and try to moisten their throats, which were dry from shock, saying that it was one thing, and seeing it was another.
Follow their eyes, only to see a black iron door, about ten zhang high, about five zhang wide, the door is carved with all kinds of birds and beasts that have not been seen, there are two huge and hideous stone lions in front of the door, a group of people stand under the door and look around, although it is not as small as ants, but it is not very big, to say why they panicked, it turns out that there is a plaque hanging on this door, and the book "ghost door pass" three big characters.
Those three big characters seem to be alive, if some of the people in the crowd are not too frightened, I am afraid that they will have to call a good sentence for this word, such a domineering and natural word is rare in the world, but under the support of this black dark iron gate, the three bronzing characters also look ghostly, how can ordinary people still be in the mood to appreciate it, however, there are still people who are tasting these three words with relish, this person is none other than Luo Lan.
Originally, after going through so many battles, going through so many battles, and dying so many people, everyone thought that they could finally rest and rest, but this gate made them frightened, and it was not a good place to close the ghost gate.
In the end, Luo Lan spoke, only to hear him: "We have just experienced so much, what else is terrible, haven't we already walked around the ghost gate?" How terrifying can the things in it be, we have come here, why can't we go on, even if we die, we will end up forever clean and don't have to worry about this, worry about that. Whether you go or not, I will definitely go, and I hope to see you again in the future. ”
After speaking, he turned around and left without looking back, and as soon as his fingers touched the cold door, he heard a sentence from behind him: "Brother Luo, you saved my life, I will go with you, and besides, I can't do anything but wait for death if I stay here, maybe I can kill a way out with you." ”
The combination of black blood stains and white shirts is very weird, and it also looks ghostly in the dim scene, He Xinyi and Xu Yan took the initiative to follow.
The rest of the people just stared at it for a while, but there were a few nimble people who followed Luo Lan, but there were still many people left, most of these people were nearly middle-aged, they had already lost the vitality and momentum of those young people, and now they were safe for the time being before the ghost gate was closed, and the road behind them was gone, and it was estimated that those monsters would not be able to come, why should they go to look at the inside of the ghost gate that was very dangerous, why should they take risks, it's not bad to stay here like this, isn't it?
Pushing open the Xuantie Gate, what was presented in front of Luo Lan was a completely different scene from before the Ghost Gate, it was a blood-red road, as if it was paved with bright red blood, and everyone who knew something about Chinese mythology naturally thought of one word, Huangquan Road.
Huangquan Road is a road in the underworld in Chinese mythology, and Huangquan, in Chinese culture, refers to the place where people live after death. When the spring well is deep, the water is yellow, and the person is buried in the ground after death, so the ancients took the yellow spring area in the depths of the earth as the underground world where people live after death, that is, the secluded underworld.
Yellow Spring is also known as Nine Springs, under Nine Springs, Nine Springs refers to the depth of nine springs, or it is said that there are nine heavens in the sky and nine times in the earth, which means extremely deep, and the extreme depth of the underground is called the Yellow Spring. In Chinese mythology and Taoist texts, Huangquan Road refers to the road taken by a person to report to the secluded underworld after death.
Lifting his feet to step on this land, a cold air seemed to rush directly to his head from the soles of his feet, this is the unanimous feeling of everyone, of course, this is just the feeling of ordinary people, not Luo Lan, at this time he is watching the scenery on and around the Huangquan Road with great interest.
In addition to the bright red pavement, there seems to be no difference between the road here and the present world, but the brilliant blooming flowers on the side of the road are the best colors that cannot be seen in the world, and the petals are more bright red than the road.
"Buzz"
A buzzing sound came, the sound seemed to come from all directions, and it seemed to come from the side, and it didn't stop for a while, at first everyone just thought it was a noise, so they didn't care, and continued to follow behind Luo Lan, Luo Lan was aware of it, but he couldn't tell what it was, so he had to wait and see.
"Ahhhhh
This is the pressure of the soul, the injured person or the person with weak soul power will not be able to bear the pressure of the soul on this road, this should be the place where the soul passes, and the living will receive this pressure when they pass by, and the further they go, the stronger the pressure will be.
After a short discussion, everyone decided that Luo Lan would start to pick up the fallen people and continue to move forward, but this situation did not change, but as time passed, the more roads they walked, the more people they fell.
Even if Luo Lan didn't report much hope in this group of people from the beginning, but the people around him fell one by one, and in the end, even He Xinyi fell in front of him, but he could only watch, he was very frustrated, and he could only think of a solution in his heart while resisting this soul pressure, although the current soul pressure was not enough to suppress him, but it was only a short distance, and he had to go a long way to walk here.
Soul coercion, spiritual coercion, this thing is similar to Spartan's spiritual coercion, it is directly acting on the soul, the farther you go on the Huangquan Road, the stronger this force seems to be, endure the pain, Luo Lan thought.
So does the method of countering Spartan's coercion work as well?
It didn't work to him, Luo Lan decided not to care about those anymore, bit his finger, and drew a magic circle in his hand, which was a damage magic circle that directly acted on the soul, compared to the things on the Huangquan Road, this thing was more powerful!
However, the damage caused by this magic circle can provoke Luo Lan's soul power to counterattack, because the damage is strong enough, and naturally the soul can only explode if it wants to protect itself, and Spartan's coercion is, to put it bluntly, the soul power is strong, and it directly acts on Luo Lan's soul and has a crushing trend;
When Luo Lan's soul power is far inferior to Spartan, he uses this magic circle to provoke the explosion of the soul itself by harming himself to achieve the purpose of resisting Spartan's coercion, but it is a great consumption of Luo Lan's own soul, and his soul is directly injured, which is very painful, but if he meets someone as powerful as Spartan in the future, what will he do, this is better than death.
But for the sake of this group of people, is that so? Are they worth it?
In the end, Luo Lan relented and slapped the hand that drew the magic circle to his chest.
"Hmmm......" snorted, as if his head was about to be torn apart, but Luo Lan looked at the people who didn't understand the situation and stood up one by one, Luo Lan felt very happy, I don't know why, why he was so happy.
"Brother Luo, ...... you" He Xinyi was the first to notice Luo Lan, she hurriedly ran to Luo Lan's side and asked, "What's wrong with you, why are you ......" Before the words came out, she saw a transparent film that seemed to block something out of the film, because of the impact of the outside thing, the film rippled in circles, and there was no need for words, at this time, the pale Luo Lan in front of him was able to explain everything, didn't he?
"Thank you......" He Xinyi choked up a little, thinking about the parents who pushed her out and ran away with their son, and then looked at the man who saved her again, and smiled sadly, she didn't expect to be alive for so many years, and she didn't expect it to be this man she didn't know, twitching the corners of her mouth, but she just held back a sentence, "I'll help you." ”
"Hmm." Now Luo Lan is very weak, but he doesn't care about any men and women, let's see what is in front of him.
Everyone had already seen the film, and saw that the film began to move with Luo Lan's walking, and these people who dared to come in and follow Luo Lan were not human spirits, so they walked with Luo Lan on the Huangquan Road like this, and they didn't dare to step out of the film at all.
The smarter saw that He Xinyi's physical strength was exhausted, so he stepped forward to offer his hospitality and took over the burden of Fu Luo Lan, of course, even if he was not in Fu Luo Lan, He Xinyi was still by Luo Lan's side.
When Luo Lan and his team were heading farther away on Huangquan Road, the people who stayed at the Ghost Gate Pass were complaining, since Luo Lan and his group left, the dark iron gate of the Ghost Gate Pass could no longer be pushed open, for some reason, it didn't matter much originally, but when the disappeared way gradually reappeared, they began to panic.
Because this reappearance of the road brought what they were afraid of, those monsters, those high-level ghosts of the underworld chased after them, but there was no Luo Lan here, most of the young adults who were the main force of the battle had already followed Luo Lan, went to the end of the ghost gate, and were walking on the Huangquan Road, fear gradually crept up on their faces.
"Ahh
Without the living, the ghosts lost their purpose and wandered around looking for the living, and these ghosts never touched the ghost gate, as if they were afraid.
On the other hand, Luo Lan led everyone to walk quickly, and finally walked out of that part of the road, no longer feeling the pressure from the depths of the soul, Luo Lan wiped the magic circle on his chest, and then sat down to rest with a pale face, at this time, of course they didn't know that the people who stayed outside the ghost gate had been slaughtered, even if they knew, most people still wouldn't care, wouldn't they?
Seeing which film Luo Lan took back to rest, everyone also sat down to rest, and Luo Lan took back the film, which shows that it is safe.
