Chapter 2: Lonely Souls and Wild Ghosts
Gu Hai carried the god stick on his back, in the sunny day, a lantern in one hand, a charm with the word "Hua Ke" written in ink in the other, regardless of the strange eyes of everyone, in the city of Mugen, looking around.
She loved to be lively during her lifetime, and Gu Hai first ran around in the noisy street market. He hurriedly stepped across the white jade bridge, and walked to different stalls in the sound of the water.
But the red spell was quietly in Gu Hai's hands, without any abnormality.
Gu Hai hurried to the stage again. The applause and cheers on the stage rose like a tide, and the laughter and laughter of everyone were opposite to the ancient sea.
Although the gongs and drums here are sonorous and powerful, and the operas are dancing in a chic and elegant manner, the spell is still like an ordinary note, and there is no reaction.
Gu Hai was not discouraged, he searched for the drunken immortal building and the hotel where they had gone.
Every time Gu Hai found a new place, there was a glimmer of hope if the sun rose in front of his eyes. But the silence of the red spell was like a cold snow that had frozen for thousands of miles, falling in his heart.
The ancient sea was unkempt, and with a charm, he came to the wilderness, where the sound of apes was still crying, the wind was complaining, the grass was green, and the lilies were blooming and desolate.
Gu Hai came to Hua Ke's corpse with a charm, but still didn't react at all.
Gu Hai smashed the ice in the hole, took out a piece of ice about the size of his body, he carefully polished the surrounding area to smooth, and then hollowed out the inside to make a crystal ice coffin, and finally gently placed Hua Ke's body inside.
This cave is cold all year round, and the ice coffin does not melt here, but the body of Baohuake will never decay.
Gu Hai then sprinkled the lily petals next to the coffin, if the snow was flying, if the white paper money fell.
At this time, the embankment in his heart could no longer prevent the torrent of sadness, and he curled up on the ground, hugged his head and cried. The mug and the sand fell horizontally, and the liver and intestines were reflected on the ice. He wiped his tired eyes and said to Hua Ke in pain, "Ke'er, where did your soul drift away?"
He clenched his fists, and his eyes were tired and firm: "I will find you and bring you back to life!"
After that, he took the Fushen stick, like turning into a silver light, and flew with the egret, following his route to Kigen Castle, trying to find it.
The red glow of the sunset exists in the sky, just like a flash in the pan, and the morning and evening soon envelop the heavens and the earth.
Gu Hai felt anxious in the sound of insects.
In this way, he inadvertently came to a dilapidated mountain village, he inquired around, and heard that there was a deserted courtyard here, where a hundred-year-old locust tree stood towering to the sky, and in the past, young men and women often begged for marriage there.
But one day there was lightning and thunder, and there was a howling in the midst of it. If anyone goes there, they won't come out again. Therefore, everyone always said that there were powerful ghosts wreaking havoc, and they never dared to set foot again.
When he heard this, instead of retreating elsewhere, he walked straight towards the courtyard!
If there were really ghosts there, maybe Hua Ke also floated here and stopped, and the sun rose leisurely in his heart.
"Hey, lad, are you dying, it's haunted inside!" cried the old man who told him about it, at the top of his voice.
Gu Hai replied loudly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
When the voice fell, the old man would never see Gu Hai again.
The old man shook his head helplessly, and sighed in the silence: "Everyone who goes in says this...... Hey, it's another human life!"
The ancient sea is like a mountain, and with heavy steps, he stepped into this gloomy courtyard.
As soon as he took a step, the cold breath blew into the bone marrow, and the sound of ghost crying came to his face.
Under the starless and moonless night, red lanterns fluttered like dead leaves in the empty courtyard. They are arranged in a neat order, like the light of the eyes of a terrible ghost, like a blood-colored light shining on the road to hell.
In this terrifying light, the clumps of weeds danced like a group of ghosts, and the evening breeze cried like evil ghosts.
In the center of the courtyard, a towering hundred-year-old locust tree, with the wrinkled skin on its trunk, resembles a thousand-year-old demon grinning with its teeth and claws.
In the faint blood-colored light, the red ropes of the lush branches and foliage hung like water curtains, and the pairs of golden locks that collided with each other and made a pleasant sound.
Gu Hai took another slight step forward, and the black shadow that suddenly shook on the courtyard wall startled him.
Gu Hai clenched his grip on the stick and looked at it intently.
A woman dressed in a fluttering black veil sits upright on the courtyard wall. In the slightly flickering red light, her fox-like eyes loomed. At this moment, her mouth seemed to be smeared with blood, and with the faint sound of ghosts crying wind, she hummed a gentle song.
The singing voice is as clear as clear water, like a long flute and makes people feel sad.
If it were an ordinary person, in this hellish scene, seeing such a woman, he would have been so frightened that he would have sat on the ground and urinated on her buttocks.
But after Gu Hai saw it, he was not afraid at all, but as if he hadn't seen it, he took out a red charm and walked around under the fluttering red light.
The spell still didn't react at all.
The beauty in black stopped humming, raised the bones of a knife on her face, and said: "I thought no one would dare to come here, look at your handsomeness, talk to me, I may spare your life." Maybe it makes me happy, and I can serve you for one night. ”
There have been men who have strayed into this place, and the beauties in black still say similar things to them.
The men who were afraid were all full of lust, suppressed the saliva that was about to flow, and walked towards the beauty in black with lustful eyes.
In the end, they all died under the claws of the beauty in black.
But Gu Hai was not moved at all, he shook the red talisman again in the courtyard without giving up, and still did not react at all.
The beauty in black looked at Gu Hai with the eyes of a demon fox, and said, "Boy, I'll give you another chance to die under my pomegranate skirt and be a merry ghost." ”
Gu Hai's heart at this moment was as anxious as thousands of ants climbing, as if there were thousands of years of ice and snow covering the sun. He didn't have the heart to listen to this woman's words at all, and when he saw that Hua Ke's soul was not here, he was about to leave.
The beauty in black looked at Gu Hai's figure about to leave, and said loudly, "Want to escape?"
The beauty picked up a stone and hit the ancient sea that was about to leave.
Gu Hai held the stick and swung it horizontally at the stone, and after the silver light shone, the stone was actually beaten to the locust tree, knocking off a pair of golden locks on the locust tree.
Women are here all year round, and their eyes are different from ordinary people in the dark. Under the flickering light, he found that the golden lock had been broken, and there were two names written on it: "Zhong Qing, Chu Xin." ”
The smiling face of the woman in black suddenly changed into the color of a powerful ghost in the dark night, and she let out a terrible roar: "You actually broke it, I want you to pay for it!"
What was the use of this golden lock, and what made her so angry?
In the sleeves of the beauty's black dress, two black ribbons danced.
The ribbon passed through the red lantern, like a beautiful woman's jade hand, and flew softly towards the ancient sea. They look like weak weeds, and they are not lethal.
But Gu Hai's body is still accustomed to one side, and he can easily dodge it.
At this moment a fat mouse crawled over the yard, and the black ribbon touched the mouse, and the ribbon slowly returned to the woman, but the mouse could not move in place, as if confined to a cage.
When Gu Hai saw such a scene, he was happy in his heart, and he was secretly born.
He was pressed for time, and he was even more anxious at this time.
Looking at this woman's means, it should be her most helpless Dao power.
Gu Hai directly raised his stick, wanting to swing the stick and fight quickly.
But that beauty didn't give him a chance at all.
In her sleeves, eight black ribbons flew out from behind her in an instant, each of which was as swift as a swimming dragon, and one by one attacked the ancient sea in the night.
I saw that the beauty at this moment, under the red light, was like a black spider, spreading outward with her cobwebs that preyed on her prey.
This attack was impenetrable, and Gu Hai could only fly to dodge.
A ribbon flew towards the ancient sea, the white robe of the ancient sea was like a cloud of smoke floating in the night, he stepped on the grass, jumped up, and flew on the red lantern.
Another ribbon passed through the flickering lamp, and beside the leafy locust tree, it snaked like a poisonous snake.
Gu Hai stepped on the lantern again, and saw the red light of the whole courtyard swaying between the two like waves.
The ribbon flew over a red light, and in an instant it stopped shaking as if it had been petrified.
Gu Hai rotated again, as if riding the wind, stepping on the towering locust tree with green leaves.
The black ribbons were as eerie as ghosts, and the remaining few swept through the air like a wave.
Gu Hai Boots stepped on the branches of the trees again, and the branches were like a bowstring, shooting the Gu Hai catapult into the starless and moonless sky.
I saw that the black ribbon was smashing on the swaying green leaves, the branches and leaves of the whole locust tree no longer moved, the red rope of the curtain swaying in the wind was as static as ice bars, and the golden locks that collided with each other could no longer make a pleasant and crisp sound.
After this evasion, Gu Hai had already flown over the beauty in the wind of ghost crying.
His whole body was full of the power of the mountains and seas, and he clung to the Fu Shen Stick, wanting to smash it with a stick.
But the black ribbon didn't know when, and it had become a spider's web, using the ancient sea as food, and swooping towards him.
Gu Hai was frightened, he immediately retracted his attack, his posture jumped backwards, only to see several ribbons flying by his cheeks and chest, after he dodged this blow in a thrilling way, the swishing sound of the ribbons in the wind still seemed to ring in his ears.
Before Gu Hai could stand still, he saw the black ribbon fly like a ghost.
This airtight attack, this will go on endlessly!
Gu Hai said in his heart: "I only have five days left, go to find Ke'er's soul, I can't delay any longer!"
Suddenly, like a ray of light, flashed in his mind.
I saw that after Gu Hai dodged sideways again, he actually raised his stick in the opposite direction and swung it away.
The beauty looked at Gu Hai's appearance, covered her bright red lips, and said with a high smile: "Are your eyes dizzy?"
When she was proud, she suddenly remembered that the place where Gu Hai swung his stick was the place where the golden lock that had just fallen to the ground was located.
The black ribbon had danced out, and she couldn't take it back for the time being.
She didn't want to die, and opened her arms to stand in front of the pair of golden locks.
Listening to the sound of a stick whistling in the wind stopped abruptly.
I saw Gu Hai holding a Fu Shen stick, and in the trembling light and shadow of the red light, he stayed above the forehead of the beauty.
Although Gu Hai won, he knew that he couldn't win, but he had no way to find Ke'er's soul.
But at this time, if the vast and misty question was in his heart, he asked curiously: "What is so strange about this golden lock, why do you want to sacrifice your life to protect it?"
The beauty saw that Gu Hai didn't want her life, and because there were more than one people here, she said slowly: "Once, he and I met for the first time under this locust tree, and fell in love, and then agreed to stay together for life, and hung a marriage lock here." ”
As she spoke, she bent down to pick up the lock on the ground, and looked at the two names on it with a sparkling look of nostalgia: "Zhong Qing, Chu Xin." ”
It turned out that the woman's name was Chu Xin.
"Zhong Qing treats me wholeheartedly, even better than his closest relatives. But in the end, when he came to my house to propose, my family refused to do so because of their enmity with his family. Later, I met many men, and some of them moved my heart, but none of them were as clear as Zhong Qing's feelings for me, and they did not hesitate to me. ”
Chu Xin said, two lines of tears fell from the fox's eyes, under the red light, like blood and tears, and the vocal cords continued to cry: "Later, I was disheartened and inadvertently comprehended the power of the Dao, so I hid here, pretending to be a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, guarding the place where I first met him, as if I was still with him when we first met. ”
Her jade fingers seemed to be embedded in a golden lock, and she said with a sad smile: "Later, I killed a lot of people, and even Zhong Qing, who loved me the most, died at my hands. ”
When Gu Hai heard this, he only felt a burst of fear in his heart. But he set his eyes on the broken golden lock again, and Nian Chuxin was also an infatuated person, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, this golden lock was broken by me." ”
Chu Xin held the golden lock in the palm of his hand and said, "That's it, after I finished talking to you, my mood was much more comfortable." Our relationship has long been broken, and we can't stay together for a lifetime, and this golden lock should have been broken a long time ago. ”
Gu Hai felt that the person in front of him had the same illness as him, and kindly comforted: "Don't make up and kill in vain in the future." Let's live well. ”
After that, he took the long stick and said, "If he lives, he will hope that you will live well." ”
Then Gu Hai stepped on the long stick and left with a flash of silver light. Gu Hai was flying, his mind was suddenly illuminated, Chu Xin guarded the place where they met for the first time, maybe Hua Ke's soul was also waiting for him in the place where they met for the first time!
Just as Gu Hai was about to fly towards his former village, he suddenly heard a woman's abusive voice in the village: "Zhong Qing, can't you be nicer to me?"
Then in the silent night, in the midst of a few dog barks, a man's impatient voice sounded: "Hmph, Lao Tzu will marry you back, you have to listen to Lao Tzu." ”
Gu Hai suddenly remembered what Chu Xin said, the infatuated Zhong Qing who used to treat her better than her relatives, Gu Hai understood in the flight that Chu Xin did not kill him, but what Chu Xin said was also true, she did kill him.
Chu Xin was in that empty and dilapidated courtyard, looking at the dark sky, and said with a few tears: "Do you want to live well?"
In the city of Mugeng, E Tianwan trampled the bloody drama under his feet and ordered: "Tell me, where is the ancient sea?"
