Chapter 24: Rakshasa Bird
Before leaving, Yang Qian prepared a large bag of luggage for Cao Xiaoyang, telling him that the things in it were very important, and losing one of them might cause him to be unable to reach Xudu and eventually become a lonely ghost on the Huangquan Road.
If you want to enter the underworld from the yang world, there are two roads, the waterway and the dry road, of which the waterway is the river that leads directly to the yang world from the Lechuan River in the underworld, this road is the shortcut that Bai Ying said before, but generally only the yin who comes from the underworld to the yang world can take this road.
The dry road needs to pass through seven important checkpoints, namely Huangquan Road, Santu River Ferry, Wangxiangtai, Vicious Dog Ridge, Jinji Mountain, Wild Ghost Village and Lost Soul Palace, and finally reach the ghost city of Yudu after passing these seven checkpoints.
Not only is this road long, but it also requires a very complicated procedure to pass the checkpoints, and it may take more than ten times longer to read from this dry road than the waterway, which can be said to be very troublesome.
But there are strict rules in the underworld, except for Yin Cha and some ghosts who have been specially summoned, all the rest of the ghosts have to take this path to the underworld, although this road is more troublesome, but fortunately, the vast majority of ghosts only need to go once in their lives.
To enter Huangquan Road, you need to cross the Guimen Pass, which is located in the capital city of Yangjian, roughly in the southwest of today.
After the out-of-body experience, Cao Xiaoyang and Tang Wenwen soon embarked on their journey, Cao Xiaoyang found that in fact, being a ghost also has the benefits of being a ghost, not only can fly, but also can pass through the wall at will, originally a day and a night by car, he and Tang Wenwen arrived directly in one night.
Cao Xiaoyang found that in addition to a lot of paper shops and incense wax shops, there is actually no difference from other places, and the most important thing is that he and Tang Wenwen walked along the street for most of the day, and they didn't even see a ghost, and all the people around were living people.
Cao Xiaoyang felt a little confused for a while, and said to Tang Wenwen: "Could it be that we are in the wrong place, do you think this place is like a ghost town?"
"It shouldn't be wrong, didn't there be a plaque when I entered the city, which clearly said Xudu City. ”
Cao Xiaoyang scratched his head, thinking that this is troublesome, this ghost gate has not even entered, he and Tang Wenwen have lost their way, the most important thing is that he is a ghost now, and it is impossible to find someone to ask for directions, if he directly asks people how to go to the ghost gate, he will scare people to death.
Since ghosts can't be exposed to the sun for a long time, Cao Xiaoyang and Tang Wenwen had to stop and go in front of some shops with eaves, so they walked around the city all day, but they still couldn't find the location of the ghost gate.
In the evening, when the sky was getting dark, Cao Xiaoyang and Tang Wenwen sat on the side of the road discussing whether to go back to the Linglou for the time being.
At this time, on the other side of the road came a mature woman wearing a cheongsam with curly hair, she was dressed very enchantingly, and with her convex figure, she walked very charmingly.
She was holding the arm of a fat man, who was wearing a floral shirt and a large gold chain, and looked very social.
The fat man followed the woman and twisted across the road, Cao Xiaoyang's eyes were unconsciously attracted by the woman, and he forgot for a moment that he was still talking to Tang Wenwen.
Tang Wenwen looked at the woman in cheongsam that Cao Xiaoyang was staring at, snorted coldly, and said, "What a pervert, my eyes are straight when I see a beautiful woman." ”
Cao Xiaoyang coughed. "What, am I that kind of person? You didn't notice anything special about that woman?"
Tang Wenwen looked at it carefully, and said very unhappily: "Isn't it that the boobs are bigger than me, the butt is more warped than me, and the height is taller than me, what's the big deal." ”
Cao Xiaoyang couldn't help but knock on her brain.
"Pain, pain, what are you doing? ”
Cao Xiaoyang was a little speechless and said: "I want to know what you're thinking about all day long, what kind of boobs and ass, haven't you noticed that guy is not human?"
Tang Wenwen stared at Shui Lingling's eyes and looked at it carefully. "It seems like it's true, so what do we do now?"
"Of course, I kept up, and when I finally met a ghost, I must ask her how to go through the ghost gate. ”
So the two of them followed, but in the blink of an eye, the woman and the fat man were gone, Cao Xiaoyang took Tang Wenwen into a deep alleyway, and suddenly heard a man's scream from inside, they hurriedly ran over to take a look, only to see that the fat man wearing a gold chain just now was lying on the ground rolling wildly, his side was full of blood, and there were two bloody holes on his face, it turned out that his eyes were dug out by someone.
Cao Xiaoyang wanted to reach out to help him, but after the man touched Cao Xiaoyang's cold hand, he immediately stood up from the ground and ran out of the alley while shouting "There are ghosts".
Cao Xiaoyang was a little helpless, and took Tang Wenwen to continue to search for the whereabouts of the female ghost, when he suddenly noticed a strange big black bird standing on the wall next to him, with blood stains on its body and a human eye hanging from its mouth.
Cao Xiaoyang shouted: "It's her!"
So he and Tang Wenwen swooped down on the bird, and after the bird was frightened, it flapped its wings and flew up, fleeing into the distance, Cao Xiaoyang and Tang Wenwen chased all the way, and finally the bird stopped in a field.
At this time, I saw it turn around, and instantly changed into the appearance of the woman wearing a cheongsam just now.
"I said two, I have no grievances with you, why are you chasing me?"
Cao Xiaoyang smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, we just want to ask you for directions." ”
The female ghost snorted coldly after hearing his words. "Neurotic, chasing me for so long just to ask for directions!"
Cao Xiaoyang said with a smile: "Hehe, yes, we want to go to the Ghost Gate, if you know how to go, please tell us." ”
The female ghost combed her hair with sharp claws and said, "The ghost door is closed, it's simple, but I don't like to do things for others in vain." ”
Cao Xiaoyang said: "I'm really sorry, we are in a hurry to go out this time, and we don't have any money with us, can you make it convenient?"
When the female ghost heard this, she immediately frowned. "No money? That's, I don't have that spare time, bye-bye. ”
Seeing that this female ghost was about to fly away, Cao Xiaoyang suddenly had an idea, some guys eat hard and don't eat soft, since soft can't do it, it's time to come hard.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, if I'm not mistaken, that man's eyes were gouged out by you just now, right?"
The female ghost was stunned for a moment, and then raised her eyebrows. "It's me, how?"
Cao Xiaoyang continued: "Does he have a grudge or a grudge against you?"
"There is no injustice and no hatred. ”
Cao Xiaoyang smiled slightly and said, "In this way, even if you hurt mortals for no reason, according to the following rules, you have to peel the skin and cut your tongue under the oil pot." ”
The female ghost suddenly burst out laughing. "Boy, you still know the following rules, it's not easy. ”
"I just know a little bit about today, as long as you promise to take us to the ghost gate, we will not see anything, otherwise we will ......"
"Otherwise, maybe you, a stinky boy who can't even find the ghost gate, would dare to go down there and sue me?"
Cao Xiaoyang put on a serious expression and coughed.
"Anything is possible. ”
"Then you go and sue, I'm afraid that if you can't get a reward, you will touch the ashes of your nose. ”
"What do you mean, I don't believe that the Yin Si of Xudu can't control you. ”
The female ghost snorted coldly and said, "Of course it can be managed, but this gouging out of people's eyes is a crime for ordinary ghosts, but not for me, because this is my job." ”
Cao Xiaoyang concluded that she was talking nonsense, but then he heard Tang Wenwen next to him say: "If I guess correctly, sister, you should not be an ordinary ghost, your real name is Rakshasa Bird." ”
As soon as she heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on the female ghost's face.
"It's still a little girl who is smart and clever, not like that stinky boy who is stupid. ”
Cao Xiaoyang felt a little embarrassed for a while, and asked in a hesitant manner, "What...... What is a Rakshasa Bird?"
Tang Wenwen said: "The Rakshasa Bird is the illusion of resentment in the barren graves, they like to eat people's eyes, especially the scumbags with flowers, so the Rakshasa Bird often transforms into the appearance of a beauty to seduce those flowery men, and then take the opportunity to eat their eyes." Those men were often family members, and it was a sin for them to mess with flowers and herbs outside, so it was not a violation for the Rakshasa to eat their eyes. Am I right, Sister Rakshasa Bird. ”
