Chapter 34: Dark Night
It's already November, the days are short, and it's getting dark quickly.
It's very dark, and on a night like this, it's best not to drive at night.
I asked the driver to pull the car to a leeward place and stopped, intending to spend the night here tonight and continue on the road tomorrow.
Luckily, we prepared some food to eat, biscuits, cold steamed buns, braised eggs, etc.
Everyone ate something silently, and no one said a word.
It was really dark, and when I looked out of the glass window of the car, I could only see that it was pitch black, and there was not even a trace of starlight.
I felt so depressed that I suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette.
At this time, Li Xiaogang first said: "Go down and smoke a cigarette?" ”
Tang Guoqing is a non-smoker, and said with some concern: "It's better to be in the car, right?" ”
"It shouldn't matter." I said, taking the lead and going down.
Ma Hongxiang and Li Xiaogang immediately followed, and Tang Guoqing hesitated for a while before following down.
Lu Jinjian and his masters also walked down, scattered around, vigilantly thinking about every move around them.
With these forty or so masters giving us the wind, what do we have to worry about?
Actually, I'm not at all worried about someone coming to attack us. With masters like Lu Jinjian here, I hope that our enemies will jump out and fight with us face to face, whether they lose or win, they will have a good time right away.
What I'm worried about is that they don't come out to fight face to face in the open, but just hide in the dark and play some kind of conspiracy.
In the distance, the rolling mountains can only see the undulating outline.
A few cigarette butts flickered in the dark.
The mountain breeze was blowing up from the valley, and it was really cold.
"Suddenly I want to play mahjong." Ma Hongxiang looked into the distance and said leisurely, "You say, if you put a pair of mahjong here at this time, will it have a different flavor?" ”
"It's just a little cold." Tang Guoqing said.
Li Xiaogang said: "Speaking of which, it seems that our four brothers haven't played mahjong together for a long time. It's all a knife, if you tell us about your earlier, then we can't play mahjong in your big villa? Now you haven't appreciated your big villa, you haven't played mahjong in it, and you don't know if you will have a chance in the future. ”
Tang Guoqing said: "Yes, I don't know if I can go back alive this time." ”
Ma Hongxiang smiled: "It's okay, even if it's death, our brothers are on the road together, and we can get together at a table in hell, hahaha." ”
Li Xiaogang said: "I'm afraid that the way of playing in hell is different from ours." ”
I know they deliberately said this to reassure me and not make me feel guilty. But at the same time, there is another aspect, they are deeply aware of how dangerous this time is.
Ma Hongxiang suddenly patted me on the shoulder and said, "By the way, you said that you have seen the Emperor of Xudu, right?" ”
"yes, I've seen it many times." I say.
Ma Hongxiang said: "What kind of person is that guy? ”
"It's okay," I said, "that guy doesn't have much of a show, and he doesn't look like some of the big officials are wearing high-ranking makeup now. Once again in my house, I jumped to scold him and slapped him back into the underworld. Originally, I thought that I must have caused a big disaster that time, but who knew that he didn't care at all, and when he saw me later, he was still the same. ”
Li Xiaogang said: "So, this kid is also a fun person? Does he play mahjong? ”
Tang Guoqing smiled: "It doesn't matter if you can't fight." When I met a few of us, I would pull him into the water in half an hour at most. ”
Ma Hongxiang touched his chin and said, "You said, with your relationship with Emperor Xudu, will there be some special care for a few of us in hell?" Maybe we'll be some kind of petty official in the underworld, that would be funny and good, hehehe. ”
Li Xiaogang said: "Maybe the underworld can still take a few wives now, in case you meet a Nie Xiaoqian or something, then you will get rich, hahaha." ”
These guys really don't know whether to live or die, and they're still daydreaming. I can't bear to tell them that maybe our enemies will directly devour our souls, or directly fight our souls to pieces, in which case, we will not even have a chance to be ghosts.
"I'm just a little worried about my wife and son." Tang Guoqing finally told the truth.
This sentence silenced everyone.
In fact, they are all people with families and wives and sons, and they deliberately avoid these problems, but they are actually very worried, which I can naturally see.
"Why don't you ......," I said tentatively, "I think we'd better go back?" ”
"Go back?" Ma Hongxiang said disdainfully, "There is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, and the pigs are all killed, can you still say that you believe in Buddhism?" You've come here, so keep going! ”
Li Xiaogang also said: "That's it! It's like picking up girls, everyone else is already pretending to be drunk, and the room is open, just waiting for you to reap the fruits of victory, but you say that your aunt and father want to retreat today? How can that work, isn't it? ”
I was directly amused by Li Xiaogang's nondescript analogy.
Ma Hongxiang said: "Our four brothers, pick up girls together, fight together, play mahjong together, and catch ghosts together!" ”
At this time, a strange laugh suddenly came to mind in the sky.
The strange laughter rang out from the sky, and at first it seemed like there was only one person. But soon, one became two, two became four, and four became eight...... Soon, it seemed that people were laughing strangely in all directions, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be filled with all kinds of vicious ghosts.
In the dark, I don't know how many man-eating ghosts and fierce spirits are hidden!
Heaven, earth, front and back, left and right...... There was a terrible laughter in all directions, and the laughter collided with each other in the valley, and it was even more vigorous, like the tide of the Qiantang River.
In the sky, in the valley, overhead...... I don't know how many ghosts there are.
It's like we're surrounded by millions of ghosts!
Ma Hongxiang, Li Xiaogang, and Tang Guoqing and I were huddled back to back, looking around in horror.
But we don't see anything.
There is only endless darkness all around.
Lu Jinjian and his forty masters rushed over as soon as possible, guarding us around, looking around vigilantly.
However, after a long time, no one rushed out to fight in the darkness, only the terrible laughter continued, filling the entire heaven and earth.
I don't even know if it's humans or ghosts that surround us.
"What the hell? If you have the ability to come out and fight to the death! "I screamed, whether it was a human or a ghost, I wanted him to come out and have a good time!
However, still no one came out.
"If you have the ability, you come out, Lao Tzu promises to stuff a piece of in your mouth!" Although Li Xiaogang's voice was loud, he could hardly hear what he said in the other party's overwhelming laughter.
The strange laughter came to an abrupt end.
"You do have a kind." Someone was talking, but I couldn't tell which direction the voice was coming from. For the voice of the voice, like the laughter, came from the sky, from the valley, from all directions.
"Have the ability to come out and go heads-up!" Lu Jinjian used his internal strength, and his voice echoed in the valley.
"You do have a kind," the voice repeated, "but you're all straw bales. I heard that the newly appointed human judge of the Emperor Xudu is quite smart, and it seems that it is nothing more than that. ”
"What do you mean by that?!" I shouted.
The voice said, "Little friend, do you know what it means to divert the tiger from the mountain? ”
My heart suddenly froze, as if I had suddenly fallen into an ice cave.
The voice continued, "Kids, you'd better go back and have a look." I'll come back to me after going to see it, but I can only come by Chen Xiaodao alone, so remember it! ”
I clenched my fists and shouted, "Who the hell are you?!" ”
The voice didn't answer me again, my voice echoed through the valley: "Who the hell are you...... Who is it...... Who ......"
No matter how much we yelled, the voice didn't sound again.
"Get in the car and go home right away!" I yelled like crazy.
