Chapter 3 The Underworld is still alive
Chapter 3: The Underworld is still alive
Although I was not small at the time, I still felt terrified, such a scene is not something that everyone can experience, and besides, there are some dead ghosts around me. I followed Qiu Zhige and walked straight ahead, and after walking for a while, I saw a building.
The building looks a bit like the torii in the TV series, and there are four big characters written on it: "Netherworld", and there are two people standing under the archway, the two of them are dressed very funny, wearing ancient costumes outside, but wearing ties, and leather shoes on their feet, standing on both sides of the archway with two spears, and their faces look exactly the same as those ghosts around them.
When I saw this, I knew that the two of them must be the legendary ghosts, and the ghosts around them walked through the torii one after another, and when they walked under the torii, the two ghosts would stretch out their hands and reach into the chests of those ghosts, and take out a beating red viscera, which was the heart, and then put in a gray thing.
The ghosts didn't feel anything about it at all, they didn't scream, they kept an eerie dead silence, and when they had done all this, they waved their hands and let them go inside, and then sat down on the next one in the same way. It didn't take long for Brother Qiu Zhi's turn to hide, and I was afraid to hide behind Brother Qiu Zhige.
I looked at the beating red organ and knew that it must be the heart, but I didn't know what the gray thing that was put in, and after thinking about it, I suddenly had a strong desire to survive in my heart, I was still young and didn't leave so soon, but when I wanted to turn around and leave, the two ghosts had already noticed me.
"Hey, where do you want to go, come back to my poor master, and install the ghost heart!"
But I ignored them completely, turned and walked straight to the back, when the two ghost claws were on my shoulders, and I immediately felt hopeless. But then things happened that I didn't expect, and after the two ghosts twisted my body right, they let out a cry: "Oh, that's not right! ”
One of them stepped aside to deal with the other ghosts, while the other stood in front of me and looked at me carefully, and then said angrily: "What are you doing here, your life is not over, go back to yourself!" The underworld is not something you can come to casually! After saying that, he pushed me back, and I felt that I was floating backwards, and gradually I couldn't see the archway anymore, and I slowly landed.
When I landed, I saw a stone monument placed on the side of the road, and there were three forks in the road in front of me. Just when I was confused, the cry of "Little Jiu, Little Jiu" came, and I could hear it as my grandmother's voice, mixed with my mother's call, and a dim light lit up on the road in the middle.
At the same time as the lights came on, two people jumped towards me, and I couldn't see clearly what they were from a distance, until the two people came to me and I realized that there were two paper figures in front of me. The paper man's face was painted red and there was a strange smile, which looked a little scary, but I saw those real ghosts just now, what is such a paper man?
The two paper figures walked up to me and said, "Xiao Jiu, follow these two paper figures and walk forward, remember, you must not look back, no matter what you hear or see, you must not look back!" This voice sounded very familiar, and I felt a sense of comfort and peace of mind.
The two paper figures stood on both sides of me, one on the left and one on the right, and directly sandwiched me on the way back to my soul. When I set foot on the path of resurrection, I found that it was completely dark, and I couldn't see clearly except for the dim light in front of me. After walking for a while, two people dressed in official clothes appeared in front of them.
"What a bold man, dare to take the soul from the underworld and leave it all!" The two ghosts pulled out their waist knives from their waists, looked at us angrily, and directly raised their waist knives and slashed at the two paper figures. The paper figure on my right immediately let go of my hand, and rushed towards the two ghosts with both hands outstretched, and the paper figure on my left was still holding my hand tightly, looking ahead with a weird smile.
After the paper man rushed over, the waist knives of the two ghosts also slashed at its body, but in an instant, the waist knives in the hands of the two ghosts turned into powder, and the paper man also bumped into the two ghosts, directly knocking the two ghosts away, and after the collision, the two ghosts also turned into light smoke.
The paper figure came back backwards and continued to drive me forward, after walking for a while, there was a very sad shout behind me, as if something was happening behind me, I was just about to turn my head to see what was happening, the two paper figures each stretched out a hand to cover my ear, and kept my head looking ahead, and at the same time our speed was much slower.
After a while, the terrible voice gradually faded away, and the paper figures withdrew their hands and began to run directly towards the place where the light was, faster and faster, and the sound of the wind was almost heard in my ears.
Suddenly, I felt a hand grab my foot, and the other hand held my foot to prevent me from moving forward, and the speed of me and the two paper figures gradually slowed down. The two paper figures slowly turned their heads to look behind me, but they didn't forget to hold out a hand to prevent me from looking back.
I couldn't see what was going on behind me, I could only stare at the place in front of me that was flickering with a dim light. Soon, a very terrible cry came from behind me, which was even sharper and more piercing than the one I had just heard on the road, and it made me tremble. Then, I felt that the hand holding my foot had gradually unloaded its strength and quickly let go.
At the same time that hand let go of my foot, the two paper figures turned their heads at the same time, withdrew their hands, and quickly floated towards the place where the light was. It's a great feeling to float up, but it's a pity that it's pitch black all around, and it would be nice if it could be the sky, but it's nice to be in a place like this now.
After drifting for a while, the darkness around me gradually dissipated, and in its place was a bright light, and I could almost dimly make out the outline of a familiar mountain in front of me, which was a mountain in my hometown, and it seemed that I had come to the sun. Looks like I can finally get out of this terrible Netherworld.
But things are not always so easy to achieve, and suddenly there is a terrible cry behind him, and this terrible cry sounds like thousands of ghosts screaming together, which sounds very numerous. The two paper figures sounded familiar words again: "Xiao Jiu, these two paper figures need to help you resist the ten thousand ghosts behind, the rest of the way can only be walked by yourself, remember not to turn back, walk towards the place of light!" ”
With that, the two paper figures let go of my hands and threw themselves behind me. I didn't dare to look back, so I could only listen to the loud scream that floated quickly towards the place where the light was. After a while I saw the village, and there were quite a few people working in the fields next to it, but when I floated past them, they didn't see me at all, just complaining about the weather and planting their heads.
After bypassing the many houses in the village, I came to my house. I saw that there were quite a few people standing in my house at this time, and a Taoist priest in a yellow robe was chanting words there, and I immediately recognized that it was the gentleman of our village, Uncle Yi.
In the middle of the room was a door panel on which I was lying on top of it, and my grandmother and mother were lying on the edge of the door and calling my name, and my father was looking at me nervously. At this time, Uncle Yi seemed to see me, his face looked a lot more relaxed, and said in the direction where I was: "I'm back, hurry up and return to your body!" Don't miss the hour. ”
