Chapter 6 Corrosion
"What do you do?" The boy's sudden action instantly made Luo Xiaoyan exclaim, and immediately reached out to pull the boy up from the stream.
All around, the ghosts who were still trying to slowly approach the creek to catch the boys were retreating a long distance after the boys' actions.
"Don't come here!" The boy walked into the deeper water, and even splashed a stream at Luo Xiaoyan to prevent Luo Xiaoyan from approaching.
"Why? Do you know what kind of water this is? You're going to die, come up! "I have seen the soul that fell into the water of the Lechuan River being devoured, although this is only a branch, and I don't know if there will be evil spirits, but Luo Xiaoyan still has lingering palpitations about this.
"Don't try to lie to me! Those ghosts are afraid of the water here, and you are afraid of them too, so you are just like them, all ghosts! The boy continued to go deep into the water while yelling at Luo Xiaoyan on the shore.
Luo Xiaoyan stood on the shore hesitatingly, seeing that half of the boy's body had been submerged in the stream, her heart became more and more uneasy. If you want to sue the boy, she is not a ghost, but a living person like him, but even if she says it, the boy will definitely not believe it. Looking at the still calm stream in front of her, what has been haunting her mind is the image of the soul that fell into the Lethe River being devoured.
"I'm not a ghost!" Sighing softly, Luo Xiaoyan slowly closed her eyes, stretched out her feet and prepared to step into the stream, wanting to tell the boy in the water that she was not a ghost, and she could also touch the water of the Lechuan River.
"You're crazy!" With a loud shout, Luo Xiaoyan's shoulders were grabbed by two hands, and she was forcibly dragged away from the stream. On the shoulders, two hands, one on the left and one on the right, one with a warm temperature, but the other hand is cold and biting.
After being pulled away, Luo Xiaoyan opened her eyes in surprise, but what she saw was Gu Qi and Linlang. The voice just now was not Gu Qi's voice. It's from Linlang.
"The water of the Lethe River can entangle the soul, so that the soul cannot break free, and can only be carried upstream by the river, and the king of Jizo will overtake it. And for the human body. It's like sulfuric acid, which can corrode the flesh and skin, leaving only the skeleton. As for the soul, it is also taken away. After stopping Luo Xiaoyan, Linlang let go of the cold and piercing hand. Said softly.
Hearing this, Luo Xiaoyan looked at the river in surprise, the boy was still walking towards the middle of the river, and the water surface had reached his waist. As the boy walked forward step by step, it was even clearly visible that in the clear water, the boy's skin and flesh soaked in the water fell off with every step. Soon all that was left of his legs was skeleton, and his waist began to fester, but the boy didn't feel it at all. Continue to walk forward step by step.
Such a picture is more terrifying than watching the soul being directly devoured by evil spirits, so Luo Xiaoyan couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and quickly looked away. Although this boy's situation is very miserable, Luo Xiaoyan is a little lucky, she was fortunately stopped just now, otherwise she would be the same as this boy at this time.
"His body has been corroded, and there is no way to save it, but there is no way to save his soul?" It's one thing to be afraid to look at a boy in the water. But Luo Xiaoyan didn't want to see this innocent boy, and in the end, even his soul would be swept upstream, and he might even be devoured by the evil spirits.
"How to save it? Who can save? Linlang asked rhetorically, her tone full of indifference.
Luo Xiaoyan sighed. He turned his back on him. Yiqiē is indeed as Linlang said, no one and no ghost can enter the Lechuan River and save the soul of the boy in the water. She is not a virgin, and she wants to do what she knows she can't do. It's just that when she remembered the picture of being under the Nai He Bridge again, her body couldn't help but tremble a little.
Luo Xiaoyan, who turned her back, didn't know. As she turned around, Linlang's gaze that had been falling on the surface of the Lechuan River fell on her, and her eyes were very complicated.
In the branch of the Lechuan River behind him, the boy never made a single sound from beginning to end. As the ghosts surrounding the stream dispersed, Luo Xiaoyan finally looked back. The water in the creek was still quiet, not even a ripple. Whether it is the skeleton of the boy or the soul, it has disappeared, and this piece is as if nothing has happened.
The ghost market was lively again, and this little episode was quickly forgotten by all the ghosts, and Linlang's eyes had already been withdrawn from Luo Xiaoyan's body, looking at the stream that was just a branch of the Lechuan River, and once again fell into his memories.
Gu Qi glanced at Luo Xiaoyan, and then at the calm Lechuan River, originally he only brought Luo Xiaoyan to the ghost market by fulfilling his promise, but he never thought that such a thing would happen. Gu Qi couldn't help but sigh lightly and said softly, "Let's go back." ”
Luo Xiaoyan nodded, and didn't want to stay here. This boy's entry into the water once again deepened her fear of the Lethe River, and also awakened the shadow that had been pressed into her heart.
As Gu Qi walked out of the ghost gate, outside the ghost gate, as the boy said, a group of ghosts with broken arms and legs were swaying near the ghost gate, looking around, as if they were looking for something. Seeing Luo Xiaoyan and Gu Qi coming out of the ghost gate, a few ghosts came up and sniffed at the two of them, but soon frowned and drifted away.
"Does it stink on me?" Luo Xiaoyan subconsciously sniffed her own arm, but there was no smell on her body. The ghost's seemingly disgusted behavior just now made her wonder.
"They're sniffing you for any anger or yang, and if they do, you're going to be devoured by now." A voice sounded behind the two of them, and when they looked back, the person who spoke turned out to be Lin You who the two of them were trying to find before, "Every year when the ghost door is opened, these ghosts who are trying to devour the living will run out, it's really troublesome!" ”
Lin You said, the white mourning stick in his hand was thrown out, and he didn't need to control it, and the mourning stick kept falling on the heads of these ghosts, and for a while, the wailing continued. The mourning stick in Lin You's hand is completely different from the mourning stick that Luo Xiaoyan got before, it is not an improved real product of Bai Wuchang, but a real mourning stick.
"Lin You? You ......" Seeing that Lin You had already withdrawn the mourning stick in his hand, Luo Xiaoyan wanted to ask if he was Bai Wuchang, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't ask anything. (To be continued.) )
