Chapter 13 is both real and illusory
"Chase! Now only by finding the red-clothed ghost can she crack the distorted space she created! Brother Tiger gritted his teeth fiercely and chased after the black trace.
It's hard to say whether you can find the woman in red or not, but even if you find it, is there really a way?
I had to follow Brother Tiger and chase after the black traces.
In the huge parking lot, only the heavy breathing of me and Brother Tiger was like the ups and downs of the heart, long and long, silent and powerful, but revealing an extraordinarily strange rhythm.
After walking for a long time, the black trail came to an abrupt end.
When I looked up, a brand new elevator appeared in front of me, and green LED lights flashed in the underground parking lot.
It's exactly the same as the elevator we walked out of!
But looking back, in addition to the dusty pillars covering each other, where can you still see the location of the original elevator?
I swallowed, hesitantly staring at the closed metal door of the elevator.
To enter, or not to enter?
Brother Tiger's face became more and more solemn, and the sense of urgency in my heart became deeper and deeper, as if the peeping eyes in the distance were getting closer and closer.
"Let's go!" Brother Tiger relented and pressed the switch button of the elevator.
My heart seems to be beating a drum, this elevator, is it coming from Hades, or is it heading towards Hades?
Bite!
The door opened, and the sound was infinitely amplified in the empty parking lot, and a scream that was almost like a cry shook in my head.
Behind the door, there is nothing left, it is a normal elevator, and there are even advertisements posted on the back wall.
The advertisement "Hongda Real Estate Green Water Garden, Sincerely Invite You to Share the ...... of Clear Water and Blue Sky" was published 10 years ago.
So, this elevator was also ten years ago, and we actually crossed it?
Whoa!
As if to confirm my suspicions, the old incandescent lamp at the top of the elevator was on and off, sometimes dazzling, sometimes dim.
I don't know how long it took, but the elevator door didn't open for a long time, and there was a strange atmosphere in the air.
Bang bang bang!
There was a sharp knock outside the elevator door, and I was stunned.
The elevator was going up and down, but there was a knock on the door outside.
No, Brother Tiger and I both know very well that the people outside are not people at all......
Bang bang bang! At first, the knock was not hurried, but the more time passed, the more rapid the knock became, and finally it was like a storm slamming on the elevator door, and the sound was endless!
I stared at the crack in the door, and there were countless hallucinations in front of me, as if a pair of pale and slender hands would stick out of the crack, and a woman with a hideous expression tugged at the back of my head and laughed loudly.
Bite!
The scream of my soul-shaking resounded in my mind, and my gums were sour, and my stomach was churning with discomfort, urging me to spit out a mouthful of saliva.
However, when I opened my mouth, what came out was a strange demonic blood red!
Brother Hu clenched the peachwood sword in his hand, and his voice was extremely solemn: "Don't believe all your senses, from now on, our senses are all illusions she has given us!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Brother Tiger also spit out a mouthful of blood, which he wiped with his sleeve casually, not caring at all.
The door opened...... However, it was unusually quiet outside the door, and it was not as horrible and bloody as I had imagined. There was only a dusty BMW 7 Series, its dilapidated headlights flickering in the dimly lit basement, and the interior of the car was empty.
Brother Tiger and I both had numb scalps, and the next moment, the BMW 7 Series rushed over!
It was as if we had fallen into a pool of stagnant water.
When this old elevator took us to change floors again, outside the door, it was still the BMW 7 Series.
Brother Tiger and I avoided the BMW impact and came to the elevator door again, with the same black marks under our feet.
I began to wonder if Brother Hu was not good enough to be brought into a dead end by the woman in red?
To go, or not to go? Again, the same problem is at hand.
And we, with the same answer.
I don't know how long I followed the black traces, but an elevator appeared in front of me again...... Iconic lights flicker in the underground car park.
But this time, Brother Tiger and I didn't choose to step in again.
"I'm underestimating this red-clad ghost." Brother Tiger took out the compass, his two eyebrows twisted into one strand, and even his breathing began to become rapid, as if he was facing a great enemy.
He bit his finger and offered five copper coins with his backhand, and bright blood beads poured on the copper coin, as if to coat the copper coin with a layer of gold, making the originally dull copper coin suddenly shine.
"My skills are limited, I don't know how long the enchantment forged by this copper coin can last, I must find a way out before the enchantment disappears!" After performing the Dao technique, the blood on Brother Hu's face gradually faded, and a touch of paleness appeared.
We all know that we can't walk along this black trail anymore, but this parking lot can't be seen from any direction, and if we don't follow the black trail, how can we find the right way out?
At this moment, the horseback riding Tang monk behind me seemed to be burning, and I hurriedly turned my head to look around, but I didn't find anything abnormal.
It's just that in our sight, there seems to be a golden light in a certain direction, guiding us forward.
"Do you see that light?" I looked at Brother Tiger.
He said suspiciously: "Light? What light? ”
I shook my head and said, "It's okay, I'm gone." ”
In fact, the light was still in my sight, but Brother Tiger didn't seem to be able to see it.
This is the guide to the statue of the Tang monk on horseback, and although I don't know why this tattoo leads the way, we don't have a choice at the moment.
"Follow me!" I beckoned to Brother Tiger.
He didn't know why, but he followed me obediently.
I followed the golden light, and nothing unusual happened along the way.
Soon, the light stopped abruptly, and in front of the two of us, a narrow hole appeared that only allowed one person to pass through.
It's impossible to see what the outside looks like, and the existence of this hole is completely contrary to common sense, as if we are in a bottle mouth position, and the surroundings are not as open as before.
I don't know if I want to go out or not.
But Brother Tiger had already taken the first step out of the hole, and then his voice came from the side of the hole: "It's okay, come here!" ”
I didn't hesitate any longer and walked through the hole.
Suddenly the birds were singing and the terrain was open and flat, and the hole behind us slowly closed and finally disappeared completely.
This is, Peach Blossom Spring?
The sight in front of me is like a paradise, and I can't help but wonder if we have come to the peach blossom paradise described by Tao Yuanming.
However, according to the research of later generations, "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" is likely to be a volume of supernatural notes, and the men and women seen in Tao Yuanming's eyes have long been buried in the grave.
I used to scoff at these rumors, but after the events of the past few days, I had to start believing these mysterious rumors.
Is this a peaceful place or a dead man's grave?
