Chapter 203: The Strange Woman
The weird place is terrifying
Who sings the song of the netherworld
Darkness, boundless darkness.
Darkness can always make people think and even fear.
Not to mention in such a spooky river channel.
After Xiao Liu and the others took the pills given by Father Zhao, it didn't take long for them to find that not only did their eyesight begin to decline, but even their hearing and vocal cord systems began to slow down.
Xiao Liu took a few deep breaths, trying to drive away the fear in his heart that disgusted him.
And at this moment, suddenly a hand grabbed his hand.
The hand is small and soft, cold like a piece of ice.
"Huang Duoduo?" Xiao Liu was shocked, "What's wrong with her?" Was she scared? She was afraid why instead of grabbing her brother's hand, she ran over and grabbed mine. Did she think of me as her brother? ”
Just when Xiao Liu was surprised, Huang Duoduo suddenly stretched out his index finger and began to gesture in his palm.
At first, Xiao Liu didn't understand what she meant, but as her index finger repeatedly gestured in his palm, Xiao Liu gradually began to understand what she meant.
The two words Huang Duoduo wrote in his palm turned out to be, "There are ghosts!" ”
"Ghosts?" Xiao Liu was shocked!
"What the hell? Where the hell did it come from? Is it a ghost from outside, or is this ghost between us? Why is she hinting at me? Why didn't she just say it, or why didn't she just go and tell her brother? Could it be that this is what she handed me on the note she handed me earlier? ”
At this moment, countless thoughts suddenly surged into Xiao Liu's heart.
Even for a moment, he seemed to think that he had misunderstood Huang Duoduo's meaning.
However, when he wanted to confirm Huang Duoduo's meaning again, the cold hand suddenly withdrew from his palm.
Then, a strange singing voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Liu's ears, "The sky is vast, the earth is vast, and the River Styx is gone." The sky is panicked, the earth is panicked, people are hopeless, and ghosts are impermanent. It's vast, it's vast, it's time to taste it! ”
The song was erratic, sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes as if it was blown by the wind, and sometimes as if it was whispering in one's ear.
This feeling is extremely weird, even a battle-hardened master like Xiao Liu can't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
"Who!" Xiao Liu shouted.
At this sound, he suddenly realized that his throat, which had been silent, did not know when it could already make a sound.
At the same time, the eyes and ears that had lost their sensory abilities also regained their abilities in an instant.
Light, a few dots of light spread around like stars.
They weren't very bright on their own, but when they came together, they lit up the entire area as if it were day.
Xiao Liu rubbed his eyes, trying to make his eyes quickly adapt to everything around him.
And when he really saw everything around him clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Xiao Liu's location is a corner of the underground dark river, where there is a huge underground temple complex, a huge temple complex comparable to Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
These temples, large and small, with different shapes, stand in the underground world at dusk, and I don't know who built them, or why they built them here in the first place.
The light came from a few torches on the banks of the river, and they were scattered all the way to the deepest part of the temple complex.
On the banks of the river stand dozens of oddly shaped humanoid sculptures, and the torches are stuck in their hands.
These statues are all made of copper, and the erosion of time has caused a thick layer of green patina on their surfaces.
They are all about two meters tall, with large heads and small bodies, large eyes protruding outward, long and wide noses, small mouths that are almost invisible, and each holding a weapon that resembles the trident of the Sea King in Greek mythology. Under the beating firelight, it looks particularly eerie.
They stood with their heads bowed, staring at the gravel pavement beneath their feet, as if they were ready to devour every creature that passed in front of them.
Xiao Liu stood stunned for a long time, and somehow, he seemed to have seen this place somewhere. But what surprised him was far from the statues and the incredible temple complex in front of him.
He was surprised by another thing.
Because at this moment, he was the only one left sitting in the half-coffin-like boat.
"Man? Who are they? Xiao Liu couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
The people have long since disappeared, as if these people had never been here.
It seems that from the beginning, only Xiao Liu himself entered here.
Xiao Liu couldn't believe his eyes, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and pinched his thighs again, and a sharp pain suddenly spread all over his body.
"It's not a dream!" Xiao Liu thought to himself. "But if it's not a dream, how can they disappear all at once? Are they ......?"
A terrible thought crossed Xiao Liu's mind in an instant.
At the same time, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of a dark shadow not far ahead.
"Who?" Although Xiao Liu's eyesight has not been recovered for a long time, the days of falling to the ground and fighting for many years have allowed him to practice a pair of excellent eyesight.
The figure just flashed, and Xiao Liu had already chased after him.
Xiao Liu is an authentic captain who touches gold, and he is the best at running, jumping, and moving, and at this time, in order to catch that black shadow, he has used the greatest ability in his life.
But what he never expected was that the black shadow saw Xiao Liu chasing after him, and he took a sharp turn and hid in a temple on the side.
And when Xiao Liu chased into this temple, there was nothing inside, not even a ghost.
"! Where can this effort go? Xiao Liu pondered in his heart as he looked at this temple.
It was the smallest of the entire complex, so small that it had only one main hall. In the hall is enshrined a four-armed golden-bodied Arhat, and on each side of the Arhat stands a statue of a boy.
This golden-bodied Arhat was naked, holding a magic weapon on each of his four arms, but the strange thing was that this angry-eyed Arhat actually had a woman's face.
Strangely, the two statues were also women.
What's even more strange is that these three statues actually look exactly the same, as if they were carved out of a mold.
"Huang Duoduo! How could it be her? When he saw the faces of these statues, Xiao Liu couldn't help but shout.
Huang Duoduo, the appearance of these statues is exactly the same as Huang Daochang's sister with princess disease, which can't help but make Xiao Liu gasp.
Thinking of this woman, Xiao Liu suddenly remembered the note she had stuffed into herself before.
He didn't open it immediately after taking the note, but put it in his pants pocket, and when he remembered it, he hurriedly reached out and touched it.
Sure enough, the note was still there.
Xiao Liu hurriedly took out the note, unfolded it, and then looked at the firelight, only to see a few words written on it, "A hundred causes must have results, your retribution is me!" ”
"This ...... What does that mean? Xiao Liu looked at the note in his hand in surprise and said in a trembling voice: "Retribution...... It's her...... What's going on here? ”
And just when Xiao Liu hadn't figured out what was going on, the weird singing voice came over again.
"The sky is vast, the earth is vast, who will pay the debts? People are panicked, their hearts are panicked, and once they enter this place, they don't want to go back to their hometown! ”
Xiao Liu carefully distinguished the direction from which the singing came from, and found that the person who sang this time was actually by the river not far from the temple, but where was he the only one just now, where was the second person?
"Who the hell is pretending to be a fucking god?" Xiao Liu is not a timid person, how can he be a person who can be frightened by a song or two.
He shouted and rushed out.
The singing is still the same, although it is not beautiful, but there is an indescribable weirdness, every word in the song has a kind of magic that drills into the heart, and every word in the lyrics seems to weigh a thousand catties, and the pressure makes people's hearts breathless.
"Once you enter this place, you don't want to go back to your hometown......"
"Don't want to go back to your hometown......"
"Hometown ......"
After Xiao Liu ran a few steps, his breathing began to become rapid, his steps began to become heavy, and even everything in front of him began to blur.
He paused, and he seemed to see a woman standing not far in front of him, holding a child in her hand.
Xiao Liu couldn't see their appearance clearly, but he could see that the child was very small, still swaddling, crying, but the woman was deaf, she was just holding the child, like holding a toy.
The woman stood there staring at him, and the strange song came out of her mouth.
"The sky is vast, the earth is vast, who will pay the debts? People are panicked, their hearts are panicked, and once they enter this place, they don't want to go back to their hometown! The sky is vast, the earth is vast, people are ruthless, and ghosts are gratuitous. People are panicked, their hearts are panicked, as soon as they enter the hall of gods and ghosts, their favors will be repaid, and their debts will be repaid! ”
"You...... You...... What the hell ......," Xiao Liu said as he rubbed his eyes vigorously.
He wanted to see everything in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried, everything in front of him was still a blur.
The woman holding the child burst out laughing, as if she had seen a joke all over the world.
Her laughter was so sharp that it sounded like scraping the bottom of a porcelain bowl with a spoon, and everyone who heard it could not help but stand on their feet.
She laughed extremely crazy, she seemed to be laughing, laughing at Xiao Liu in front of her, laughing at everything in this world, laughing at the fate that had fooled her.
The louder she laughed, the louder the child in her arms cried, but she didn't care at all, she was just laughing, just repeating those chilling lyrics.
"You...... You...... You're not her! Who are you? Xiao Liu shouted with a roar.
The woman didn't mean to answer his question at all, she just laughed.
After laughing, the woman suddenly suppressed her laughter. Then she began to retreat, and when she reached the river, she suddenly threw the child in her hand to the ground, and then turned and ran in the other direction.
