Chapter 293: Shelter
I couldn't even see what the shadow was thinking, so I could only follow him closely, and he turned and ran in the other direction.
The wind was blowing, and the wind was raging all around, and the sand and dust in front of us slowed down our progress.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Go find a shelter."
"How do you know there's a shelter here? Have you ever been here? ”
The shadow didn't speak, he just glanced back at me and continued to run forward. In the blink of an eye we had crossed two hills, and just as we were standing on top of the third, we heard the crow chirping in our ears.
"This is already the first sound, and in six more all the crows will rise into the air, and then the deaf ghosts will come out."
I nodded slightly, puzzled, "Then where is the shelter in your mouth, why haven't I seen it yet?" ”
There was a patch of yellow sand in front of me, so my vision was a little limited. But even so, if there was a room in front of me, I wouldn't be able to see it.
The shadow looked around for a week, then grabbed my arm and ran down the hill. As he ran wildly on the wasteland, two strange crows sounded in quick succession.
It was already the third sound, and my footsteps became faster. After crossing the mountain, a river appeared in front of me, and the water was surrounded by yellow sand, but the water looked quite clear.
I looked at the river in front of me and thought to myself, there is water here, and this shelter must be nearby.
Sure enough, with the fifth crow roaring, the yellow sand in the sky actually stopped. Without the yellow sand that obscures the sky, everything I see before my eyes is much clearer.
At this moment, a completely dark building appeared in front of my eyes. The front to the back, from top to bottom, the building is made of black wood, and even the stone strips that build the walls are pitch black.
The shape of this building is particularly simple and simple, a typical three-hall courtyard. Since we are standing on the top of the hill, we can see the whole view of the building.
"It's still inhabited, but it's ......"
The shadow turned to look at me and smiled, "But what? ”
"But I guess the owner of this house must be arrogant and withdrawn, and who would build a house in such a heavy tone."
As we ran down the hill, the sixth sound rang in our ears.
As the sixth sound sounded, I could clearly feel that the surroundings had darkened. As I mentioned earlier, the surroundings of this crowsong country are black, like landscape paintings, and the most vivid color is the yellow sand in the sky.
I don't know where this yellow sand blew from, but it can be said that it appeared out of thin air or disappeared out of thin air. After six crows, the already dark world became even more turbid.
It's like you're holding a white canvas and applying a layer of gray paint. Although you can still see everything around you clearly, you can clearly feel that the world has become more cloudy and dark.
This is obviously the same as the underworld, but the time of the underworld is no different from the yang, and the time of this crow country is unpredictable.
When we reached the gate of the courtyard, the shadow stepped in without even knocking on the door. After entering the first courtyard, an invisible sense of oppression swept in.
As I stood in the courtyard and looked at the houses painted in ink, I felt as if I was in a coffin that had not been sealed.
The dark shadow looked around, and then closed the courtyard door, and just as we arrived safely, the last crow chirped in our ears.
At the moment when the last crow chirped, in this black and white world, a real blue and white light instantly lit up. The beams of light were clearly out of place in the dim world, but as the beams fell, some strange sounds came to mind outside the walls.
"Rustling ......"
The voice sounded like someone was walking on their feet, and it sounded like there was more than one person outside.
I turned my head to look at the dark shadow standing beside me, and the dark shadow clearly understood my inner doubt.
"That's the voice of those deaf ghosts, they can sense you and me, so they've been hanging around here."
"Then they don't dare come in?"
The dark shadow sneered and said, "What kind of place is this, it's not for them to come in." ”
With that, the shadow walked towards the room he saw. Pushing open the door of the house, you can see the furnishings in the room, which are obviously eight pieces in the middle hall.
The furniture looks to be some years old, but the copper kettle on the table looks a little out of place.
The shadow picked up the copper kettle, poured a glass of water and handed it to me.
"Take a sip."
I looked at the water in the quilt, which was also pitch black like ink, and just as I was hesitating whether to drink it, the black shadow tilted his head and toasted.
After drinking, he looked at me and said with a smile, "This water is a specialty of this crow country, and it tastes good, and you can't experience it anywhere else." ”
The shadow obviously wouldn't lie to me, so I closed my eyes and poured the "ink" into my mouth. And the moment the water flowed down my throat, a sweet and crisp sensation swept through my esophagus and slowly remained.
"Well, not bad."
"This is the water in that river?"
The black shadow nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "This river is extraordinary, I'll tell you slowly when I have the chance." ”
My ears were still filled with that rustling sound, and the black shadow led me to the last one into the courtyard. There is a small two-story attic in this courtyard, and standing on this attic, you can see some gray-black shadows floating outside the fence.
"These are the ghosts?"
"Yes, after their souls are gone, they become the immortal virtue they are now."
Just as we looked at the ghosts below, they did not bite each other bloodily, but devoured and fused with each other. When these ghosts are free, they have no concrete form, just a gray-black shadow drifting.
Soon, only the last deaf ghost was left near the house. He was the last to arrive, devouring everyone so much that his pale gray skin turned a thick black.
The steaming black mist told me I couldn't mess with this thing, and he clearly saw me standing in the attic. He stood under the attic and looked up at me quietly.
