Chapter 481: Saved
Straight forward all the way without arguing the direction.
The danger of this wild place is far more dangerous than Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu imagined.
The corpses and skeletons that smelled the breath of the living and crawled up from the ground were the most harmless, and on the way they followed, the two encountered more strange and terrifying ghosts.
There are groups of wandering ghosts who keep walking forward in a line, and they don't know where they are going. There are pillars of human heads, glued together, constantly piled up to three or four meters high.
There are even balls of white bones rolling on the ground with the wind blowing from time to time, and it feels like a plant called tumbleweeds in the present world, moving with the wind, rolling wherever it goes.
These strange ghost corpses are either numerous or have unique attack methods.
It's like the pillar of the human head, usually with its eyes closed, as if it is sleeping, and once it is awakened, it will open its mouth and let out a terrifying scream.
Its perception range is extremely broad, and Zhou Qingli is also inexperienced, although he saw it from a distance, he planned to bypass it, but he accidentally stepped into the other party's warning area, alarming the other party, and directly a sound wave, which caused his body to suddenly become a lot more transparent, and Song Jianqiu also vomited blood and suffered internal injuries.
Up to now, Zhou Qingli has also discovered that a soul like him in the underworld will not be injured, but after being injured, it will directly consume that strange power; In fact, it is to directly weaken the soul body, the more serious the injury, the more weakened, if you bear it a few more times, it is estimated that the entire soul body will dissipate because it cannot be maintained.
This is even more terrifying than dying in this world, and it is basically equivalent to the soul flying away!
The two stopped and went, although Song Jianqiu had a mobile phone with him, and he also had compass software on his mobile phone, but in this kind of place, it was obviously not needed; The sky was gloomy again, and there was no celestial body to discern its direction.
Thereupon. The two of them can only identify one direction, keep moving forward, and avoid suspicious objects from afar, however, even so, the two of them still suffered an unfamiliar loss, just stepped into a seemingly ordinary, more other places of the same area, Zhou Qingli's feet suddenly softened, and he fell, and then, suddenly countless pairs of arms stretched out around, grabbed his feet and legs, and dragged him down hard.
The grip on his arms was extremely strong, even if he was immediately alert to the use of the painting soul, he still couldn't break free from the grasp of these arms, and gradually sank deeper and deeper, and in the end, the back arms were almost enough to touch Song Jianqiu, scratching her ass a few times, arousing a layer of goosebumps.
Seeing that Zhou Qingli couldn't get out, nine times out of ten she was still dragged down by her, at this time, she couldn't help but say a very stupid sentence: "Let go of me, you go by yourself!" ”
"Are you stupid?"
Song Jianqiu's two arms hung around Zhou Qingli's neck, so that the other party could have two free hands, and then kept knocking back his arms with rune paper.
However, it is basically useless to do this, these arms are numerous, and they repel one or two, but more arms come out, densely packed, and they are simply inexhaustible.
After hearing Song Jianqiu's words, Zhou Qingli was afraid that the other party would jump off his back, so he hurriedly hugged the other party's legs with his hands, and also supported her hard, lest she be caught, otherwise with her current strength, I am afraid that if she is caught, she will basically die.
"Otherwise, everyone will die together!" Song Jianqiu said angrily.
"Then let's die together!" Zhou Qingli replied without hesitation.
Hearing this, Song Jianqiu was slightly stunned, she could hear that Zhou Qingli was not angry, but very serious, but she didn't know what to say.
"Since you're all here, it's my duty to bring you back!" Zhou Qingli said.
Just then, a voice shouted, "Catch the rope!" ”
Hearing this, as soon as Zhou Qingli turned around, he saw a black shadow shooting straight towards him, he grabbed it, and before he had time to take a closer look, he rolled it up a few times in his hand, so that he could hold it more steadily, and then, there was a force from the end, and he was lifted up violently, crossed a distance of five or six meters, and fell steadily to the ground.
"Why are you so careless? Running into the swamp? ”
The man in front of him, with a dignified appearance, looked at his age in his thirties, and was in the prime of life, dressed in a Han Dynasty short fight, with a short knife obliquely stuck in his waist, and while talking, he put away the rope pulled out by Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu while looking at the two.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu to react, a strange expression suddenly appeared on their faces, and they asked, "You just came from the yang world?" ”
"How do you know?" Zhou Qing's vigilance has not been let down, even if the other party saved them just now, it does not mean that the other party may be a good person.
The man obviously saw Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu's vigilance, but he didn't care, but smiled: "The reaction of the two of you, and the girl you are carrying on your back have not left, it shows that the two of you have just come from the yang world!" After saying that, his rope had been put away, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Introduce yourself, my name is Zhao Jun!" ”
Zhou Qing hesitated slightly, but still shook hands with the other party, and said, "My name is Zhou Qingli, and she is me...... Sister, Song Jianqiu! ”
However, at this hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "You are also a soul body?!" ”
The short clothes worn by Zhao Jun, the two sleeves were rolled up, revealing the skin and appearance, looking exactly like a living person, or a person with a physical body!
I thought that the other party had a physical body; It's just like Song Jianqiu now, but I didn't expect that after shaking his hand, I realized that the other party was actually a soul body!
It's just, why does the soul look like a living person?! If it weren't for shaking this hand, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen it at all!
"Look at it! As far as you can see, you must have just come from the yang world! When Zhao Jun heard this, he didn't rush to answer Zhou Qingli's question, but smiled even happier: "It's been a long time since I've seen someone who just came from the yang world!" I know, you must have a lot of questions! But this is not the place to talk and chat, why don't you go to my house and sit down and let's talk in detail? ”
Although he knew that the other party must be very vigilant, Zhao Jun still made an invitation.
However, this time Zhou Qingli did not hesitate, and directly nodded in agreement: "Okay!" Thanks a lot! ”
"You're welcome!" Zhao Jun smiled: "Actually, I'm also very curious about what the yang world looks like now, we just want to communicate with each other!" ”
The three of them changed directions and immediately set out on the road, without much talk on the way, just moving all the way.
But with the changes in the surrounding environment, Zhou Qingli was still clearly aware that he must have gone in the wrong direction before, heading towards a very dangerous place, no wonder he encountered so many strange ghosts on the road.
And now, following Zhao Jun, the more you go out, the more different the surrounding situation becomes, except for the occasional attraction of Song Jianqiu's living breath, and the number of dead corpses and skeletons crawling out of the ground has become fewer, that is, there are obviously more plants on the ground!
Some weeds and wildflowers resemble the present, their rhizomes are mostly gray-white, and the flowers and some leaves will emit a faint fluorescence, attracting some green light the size of fireflies, lingering around.
These are all grown on the ground alone, but as you can imagine, if they were in patches, they would be spectacular and beautiful.
Not much to say, just said that I don't know how long I walked, and in the distance, I could see a hazy black shadow of the mountains, appearing at the end of the field of vision.
As the distance approached, the appearance of these mountains gradually became clearer, and I saw that there were things like spikes growing everywhere on this mountain, they were all black, and they looked like rusty iron forks, stuck upside down on the mountain, but in fact, these were trees!
People can't help but sigh, it is worthy of the underworld, the plants are all strange, and the legendary knife mountain, is it such a high mountain full of knife-like plants?
After arriving at the foot of this mountain, Zhao Jun's words increased, according to him, as long as he left the wilderness, it would be a relatively safe place around it - of course, it was only relatively safe! Because there is no safe place in the wilderness of the underworld!
Soon after, I finally arrived at Zhao Jun's home, which was actually just a wooden house made of trees like iron forks, with a separate courtyard and a large area.
Zhao Jun led the two into the courtyard gate, and then shouted: "Wife! Guests are coming! Hurry up and make something delicious to entertain! ”
I screamed, but before I saw anyone, I heard a gentle female voice coming from the house, and said with some disgust: "I said, let you not call me my wife in front of outsiders...... What a shame to call that! ”
As these words came, the owner of the voice also appeared in front of Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu; She was a woman of about thirty years of age, and she was unexpectedly beautiful, with her hair pulled up high, a hairpin inserted, and although she was wearing a simple cloth skirt, she could not hide the beauty of the other party.
"This is Jing's wife Xie Minhui!" Zhao Jun said, and then introduced Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu, saying: "This is a pair of brothers and sisters I met outside!" This is my brother Zhou Qingli, and this is my sister Song Jianqiu! ”
"Hello sister-in-law!" Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu greeted each other very politely, according to Zhao Jun's appearance in his thirties, it should be no problem for the two to call their sister-in-law or something.
"Hello!" Xie Minhui nodded with a smile, and then looked at Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu with a curious gaze, especially the latter, whose gaze stayed on him for a long time, and then looked at her husband with some surprise, and said, "Da Jun, what are they ......?" ”
"That's right! That's right! They've just come from the sun! Zhao Jun naturally knew what his wife meant, and said with a smile: "Luckily, you met me, otherwise I'm afraid it will be the same as those wandering ghosts and dead corpses in the wilderness!" ”
"Oh! That's a bonus! Xie Minhui said: "It's been decades since anyone from the yang world has fallen here, right?" ”
"yes!" Zhao Jun also said with some emotion: "So I want to ask, what is the yang world like now!" ”
Xie Minhui lowered her head and chuckled: "Then I'll prepare some food, and I'll listen to it later!" ”
After speaking, he said to Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu: "Don't be afraid, although the underworld is very dangerous, it is still relatively safe here!" Since you are here, then rest assured, you stay here for a few more days, wait for Da Jun to take you around the neighborhood more, get familiar with it, you should get used to it! ”
"Haha! That's right! I think I was scared when I came, but now I have a family and a business. Zhao Jun laughed, patted Zhou Qingli's shoulder, and then said, "Go!" Let's go inside and talk! ”
After speaking, he walked into the house, but when he entered the door, he seemed to remember something again, and said to Xie Minhui, who had turned around and had left a few steps away: "What about my kid?" ”
"I've gone out to play, and I haven't come back yet!" Xie Minhui replied.
"Then he's going to miss out on good things!" Zhao Jun didn't care, just smiled and entered the house.
Zhou Qingli followed Song Jianqiu in with his back, but saw that the room was quite large, with some simple furniture, tables and chairs.
"The home is simple, I hope you don't get offended!" Zhao Jun said, inviting Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu to sit down.
"How can it!" Zhou Qingli shook his head, put Song Jianqiu on a chair first, and then sat down on the side.
Zhao Jun stared at Song Jianqiu for a while, and then asked, "Little sister, what's wrong?" Did you get hurt when you came over? ”
Hearing this, Zhou Qingli shook his head and said, "No! Just a little accident! Song Jianqiu's power was sealed, but it was difficult to explain, so he said it vaguely.
Zhao Jun obviously heard it, so he nodded, didn't ask, and only said: "I know that when you first arrived in the underworld, you must be very uneasy and vigilant, so I'll talk to you about this underworld first, what is the situation!" ”
"Thank you, Brother Zhao!" Zhou Qingli said.
Zhao Jun waved his hand, and then said: "This has to be explained in detail, in fact, it is also a long story, I will first talk about some key points, and then introduce the general situation in the underworld, and finally talk about your top priority, what you need to do!" ”
After saying that, he thought for a moment, probably thinking about how to start, and then he spoke.
With Zhao Jun's introduction, a huge and weird, mysterious and dangerous world slowly unfolded in front of the two, and they couldn't help but look at each other and be shocked.
Compared with the prosperity of the present world and the peace of the country, the underworld is much more dangerous.
Although it is vast, most of the area is not suitable for people, and all the people either pay a fixed monthly tax and live in the big cities, or they gather together to form individual villages.
Of course, there are also some people like Zhao Jun, who have a certain amount of strength and dare to live in this black mountain.
And the people in the underworld, as long as they live in a safe area and work hard in cultivation, then basically they will not die easily, so people here can often live for a long time, as long as there are no accidents, at least more than a hundred years, at most hundreds of years, or even thousands of years!
For some people in this world who are seeking immortality, the underworld is something that everyone has done! Some people even feel that they have lived too long, and take the initiative to commit suicide, so that their souls will be scattered, and eventually disappear without a trace.
