Chapter 350: Dead City
Lu Ziyu flashed left and right, and for a whole quarter of an hour, he couldn't get rid of the misty whale, and the misty whale was also strange, and it didn't seem to be in a hurry to eat Lu Ziyu, it was playing and enjoying the fun of hunting.
Lu Ziyu remembered that the cat would catch the mouse, and the cat would not kill the mouse at once, but would continue to torture the mouse until it was exhausted and whimpered.
Of course, this is not much play, there is an important reason is to teach their children by word and deed, so that the kittens around them can learn to hunt, and indirectly let the kittens hone their hunting skills.
After all, the cat's rat catching skills are learned, including some classic actions, in the early years, Lu Ziyu once saw a group of small wild cats playing on the roof of the bungalow downstairs, among which there was a kitten in the air to practice the fluttering action, when it obtained a prey, this is a good teaching aid, there is no reason not to study it.
Sometimes when a mother cat feeds her kittens, she returns to the den with live prey and demonstrates to the kittens how to kill the prey, which is also an education.
Could it be that the whale is also demonstrating to its calf?
Lu Ziyu looked towards the sea of mist below, he glared angrily, and took a closer look with the eye skills taught to him by clairvoyance, and sure enough, under the mist, several petite shadows were following!
"There it is!"
Lu Ziyu came up with a solution, and immediately made a sharp turn and plunged towards the mist below.
Compared with the whale with a huge body, Lu Ziyu's body is much more petite, and when he plunged down, the whale still rowed out a distance due to inertia, and Lu Ziyu was already close to the sea of mist!
"Roar ......" An angry roar came from the whale's mouth, and its speed increased a lot, wanting to stop Lu Ziyu, but at this time, Lu Ziyu had already plunged into the fog, and sure enough, next to him, there were several rhinoceros-sized misty whale cubs, looking at him in a daze!
The big whale behind him was already approaching, and Lu Ziyu jumped on the body of a small whale, threw the double sickle out, and hung it on the corners of the little whale's mouth on both sides, as if driving a carriage, Lu Ziyu lifted the flying sickle up.
The little whale was in pain and began to run down wildly, while Lu Ziyu squinted his eyes, only to feel the fog around him blowing towards him.
"Roar!"
The big whale was already imminent, and after Lu Ziyu saw a big tree vaguely appearing in the mist, he immediately withdrew the flying sickle, and then jumped down, without hurting the life of the little whale.
The big whale wrapped its own child with its tail and was about to take revenge on Lu Ziyu, but Lu Ziyu had already hidden it, and it could no longer be found.
"Whirring ......"
Lu Ziyu gasped for breath, looked around carefully, and didn't know when he had come to a ruined city wall, and after confirming that the misty whale had left, he walked out.
Wait, the city walls?
Lu Ziyu was stunned, and immediately walked out, only to find that this place turned out to be an abandoned city.
The ruins of an ancient city.
Lu Ziyu began to walk in one direction along the broken city wall, and soon came to the city gate, on the gantry frame at the city gate, there was a plaque that had faded, this is a plaque carved from stone, crumbling, as if it would fall down at any time, and the iron nails on it have rotted into shape.
"Dead City?"
When Lu Ziyu saw this name, he immediately frowned, he had heard this word, but he knew it from the mouth of the old man.
The old man once said that the cycle of time is repeated, and the underworld in people's mouths is the place where ghosts wait to be reincarnated after death, and the hell is the place where those who have done great evil in their lives are punished, that is, the criminals of the underworld.
In addition to these two, there is also the city of vain death, the meaning of vain death is very simple, it refers to those who do not die at the end of their lives, but because of suicide, disasters, wars, accidents, murders, etc., and those who die unjustly are called vain death.
Where the ghosts of these people dwell in the underworld is the city of the dead.
For example, if a person whose life is destined to end at the age of 90, but accidentally dies early at the age of 40, he will be imprisoned in the city of the dead until he is 90 years old.
During this time, the souls of the dead imprisoned in the city were able to live like the people of the Yang world, and were able to go to the city to see if their murderers received their due retribution.
However, their personal freedom will be strictly controlled, and they will not be able to receive the paper and paper offerings burned by their relatives and friends to the deceased, nor will they be able to return to the Yang world to receive offerings from their relatives in the Yang world during the Midyear Festival, like other deceased souls, and all the money and goods burned to these deceased souls will be temporarily stored in the place of the Venerable Muren, who assists the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
It is not until these dead souls see that their murderers have received their due retribution, and their resentment is comforted, and they offer to be released from the prisons of the temples, which means that these dead souls can not be handed over until the end of their imprisonment in the city of vain death, and then they will be reincarnated according to their good and evil during their lifetime, or according to rewards or punishments.
But that's just a legend, Lu Ziyu at that time also listened to it as a ghost story, so he didn't connect reality, but there was a dead city here, could it be that he was dead?
Thinking of this, Lu Ziyu hurriedly pinched his face, but found that everything was as usual, and it was still very painful.
"I'm still alive...... If I'm still alive, why is there the legendary city of the dead? Lu Ziyu was puzzled, but he was still driven by curiosity and walked towards the city.
However, as soon as I entered the city, everything suddenly changed, and it became a bustling street, and when I looked up, the illusion I had seen in the mire reappeared.
There is a dense flow of people around, the sky is clear, and there are no clouds.
On both sides of the road are vendors, bustling with people one after another.
"It's strange...... Lu Ziyu muttered, he had seen a ruin before, how could it suddenly become such a wonderful scene after entering the city of vain death?
Suddenly, at this time, Lu Ziyu saw someone in front of him selling stinky tofu again, which made him immediately move his index finger: "Shopkeeper, come two strings of stinky tofu." ”
"Okay." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
However, when Lu Ziyu saw the appearance of the shopkeeper, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Because the shopkeeper's face has no facial features, just a miserable white dough, and the fried in the oil pot is not stinky tofu, but eyeballs.
The surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed greatly, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the people on the street turned around one after another and looked at Lu Ziyu, who turned out to be faces with no facial features, and they were all approaching......
