Chapter 141: The Gatekeeper of Hell
I heard it a little strange, I can understand that people don't get in the car, but what does it mean to try to take those remote roads?
Originally, those weasels liked those remote paths, and if they went there, they would definitely bump into them, but why did he say that?
But I haven't known him for a long time, and I don't want to trust him completely.
Maybe he didn't know about the weasel, or maybe he was well-intentioned.
I nodded, pretending to come down.
The white-bearded old man replied, so he nodded: "Let's meet again if we have a chance." ”
He said goodbye to me, and after saying that, he turned and walked into the darkness, and the candle in his hand went far, far away, so that I could not see it at all.
A cold wind blew, and I couldn't help but touch my arm, anyway, it was dark all around, and I couldn't help but turn on the flashlight on my phone.
There is no one here, and when I come out of the cemetery, I can't feel the existence of yin qi, and it's not a good thing to stay here tonight.
I was happy enough to find the ink umbrella, I touched the paper bag, and stuffed it into my personal pocket, and then strode towards the main road, only there was a chance to get a taxi.
When I got to that road, I had to go through a very remote path, and that path was the road that led to the outside of this village, and I always felt that if there was no such road, others would not have known that there was this village.
Generally walking in this kind of remote place at night, it is better to turn on the lights less, those dirty things hiding in the dark, it is very taboo to have light to them, if you encounter the day of heavy yin, maybe you will see something very strange.
But now I am not afraid of this kind of thing, I am walking on the road quickly, and I am already thinking about how I am going to refine the Soul Returning Pill.
The small note said that refining the Soul Returning Pill requires a magic weapon, but I don't know what the magic weapon is, and what I also know is the dagger in the hands of the doctor I met at Meng Xue's house last time, but that thing can't be refined into the Soul Returning Pill.
Just as I was thinking about what to replace it, I suddenly saw a pair of feet appear in front of me.
My eyelids jumped slightly, and I looked up, and I saw a rickety old man in front of me, but he didn't have any lamp in his hand, he walked very slowly, and there was no sound, just now I thought things were too fascinating, so I didn't hear it.
Now when I saw this old man, the hand holding the phone couldn't help but tighten, and at this time, my eyes fell to his feet, and I found that he had no shadow.
This shows that this old man is not a normal person, and he is quite normal when he appears here now.
When people walk at night, when they encounter something strange, they pretend not to see it, and don't show that they are afraid, I don't know anything, and it's okay.
If you know that there is something strange around you and hear someone shouting, don't look back, most of them will be safe.
Originally, I just wanted to get to the road as soon as possible, and I didn't even bother to accept this ghost, so I kept my head down.
But now in this place, there is a ditch on both sides of the road, and this road is very narrow, and only one person can pass through it at a time, and this dirty thing has been walking slowly in front of me, and I can only follow him like this.
I hoped that he would hurry over, but I don't know if it was my delusion, the more anxious I was, the slower he walked, and in the end it was almost as if he was moving slowly.
I couldn't help but take out the soul collection banner and collect him, and at this moment, his whole body suddenly stood still, standing in front of him like a sculpture.
I frowned, and waited patiently for more than twenty seconds, and the dirty thing still didn't look like it was going to leave, and I couldn't help it, so I took out the soul collection flag, intending to collect the dirty thing.
But just as I took out the Soul Collecting Banner, the filthy thing that was motionless in front of me suddenly turned its head, and I was stunned, it couldn't be a very normal human face.
His face was not very pale, but his eyes were bright. His eyes immediately saw the Soul Collecting Banner in my hand, and then he opened his mouth: "Put that thing back quickly." ”
I pursed my lips, this thing is so strange, it's not afraid to collect soul flags.
"You go your way, I'll go mine, if you just walk straight from here, I can let you go." I say.
The dirty thing glanced at me and a sneer crossed his face, "If you don't put this thing back, you won't want to leave here tonight." ”
I was pondering what he meant when I suddenly saw several huge black shadows swaying in front of the path.
The shadow was huge, not human-like at all, and terrifyingly large.
But it was too dark, and the voices were blocked at the end of the path, not far or near us.
"You can turn off the light in your hand." The dirty thing said again.
Seeing those huge things, I felt a kind of awe in my heart, and I didn't know why I was in this mood, so after thinking about it, I still put the soul collection banner and the mobile phone in my pocket.
If this thing takes the opportunity to do something, I won't be afraid, I can take it out at any time to collect the soul flag, and now what makes me curious is the huge black shadows in front of me.
Even in the dark, I could see the faint light in the old man's eyes.
This kind of eye is not owned by normal people, but there are no absolutes in things.
In the book that my grandfather left me, there was a kind of night vision eye.
Animals generally have those night vision eyes, but if a person has grown in the dark for a long time and has never seen the sun's rays, plus he has a special personality, he will have a pair of night vision eyes that are different from ordinary people.
But when I think of the way he didn't have a shadow just now, it should be those dirty things.
It's nice to have these eyes, at least I can see where he is, but it's still a bit oozing to just see one pair of eyes.
"What do you want to do? And those things in front of you, are they your accomplices? I said lightly.
"You don't know who those dark shadows are?" Hearing me say this, the dirty thing seemed a little strange, and I couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
I furrowed my brow, puzzled.
I feel like I've encountered too many novelties today, it's the medicine man before, I don't know what a medicine maker is, he was very surprised, and now I have encountered this dirty thing again, I don't know what those huge black shadows are, he is also very surprised.
Could it be that the medicine man and the dark shadow are both very famous things?
"Does it matter who they are? Now I just want to get out of here quickly, and if you are interested, you should get out of the way, or I might take you in. I said.
When the dirty thing heard me say this, he suddenly let out a low laugh: "You should only be able to collect ghosts, do you think I'm one of those things?" ”
Isn't that what those things are?
It's just that I didn't say it, just looked him in the eyes quietly.
"I've been living here for a long time, and the things in front of me have come out a lot recently, I advise you not to go over tonight, once it's over, your life will be gone." Said the dirty thing in front of him.
"Then tell me who those dark shadows are in front of you?" I asked.
"That's the Gatekeeper of Hell, I don't know how to do it recently, those Gatekeepers of Hell used to stay in the underworld, but they suddenly came out some time ago, and the ghosts passing by here know who they are." Dirty said.
The Gatekeepers of Hell? It's a very new word.
It's just that the name of this gatekeeper of hell is active in the underworld when I hear it, and they are different from those dirty ghosts, so it's no wonder I have a sense of awe.
This dirty thing in front of me still has credibility in this sentence, but I also wonder how they appeared in the yang world? Isn't hell guarded?
"So, you admit you're a ghost."
"I'm human, but I can't see the light." The dirty thing in front of him muttered, with a hint of loneliness in his voice.
"People? Then you ......" I didn't say the next words, just looked at him quietly.
"You mean why I don't have a shadow, right? Actually, I still had a shadow a long time ago, but then a terrible thing happened, and since then I have no shadow, do you know how terrifying it is for a normal person to have no shadow? When the people outside saw me like this, they always thought I was a monster, and even drove me out of our village, and I could only walk around the neighborhood, and only come out at night, so that they would not find out that I had no shadow. ”
I didn't know whether to believe what he said or not, so I listened to it as an anecdote, whether he was a human or a ghost, I wasn't afraid of him, and I wasn't too interested in his business.
"Aren't you afraid of all the dirty stuff around you?" I say.
"When I see a lot, I get used to it, and I can see those dirty things when I am young." He said.
"So since you know so much, you should know how to get out of here, right? And the two gatekeepers of hell in front, when did they appear? Why can't you pass through there? I asked.
"Seeing the gatekeepers of hell can only take a detour, they can't be noticed, hell, do you know what kind of place it is, you will only be put into hell if you are seen by them, once you are in hell, do you think there is still a way to live? I've been walking on this road for a long time, the last time they appeared, it should have happened a month ago, they only appeared for one day, but only for that day, but there were also a lot of deaths, if you can also see those dirty things, you can probably see these dead things on both sides, no one knows what they came out for, and now they appear again, it's really panicking...... "The old man said word by word.
There was such a strange thing, I looked around, and sure enough, from the ditches on both sides of the road, something very strange gradually emerged, and in the dark night, the miserable white and miserable face, a little shocking, was crawling in the ditch little by little.
But looking at the current situation, they showed no sign of climbing up, just stared at me, and then moved stiffly.
I also pretended to see it, and after thinking about it, I asked, "Is there any other way here?" I'm leaving here today. ”
After so many years, I only know that there is such a way, and there should be other roads, but I don't know.
"There is only one such road, there were originally other paths, but those paths are sneaky, and ordinary people can't deal with them, so those paths are also blocked." The old man said.
There's the gatekeeper of hell in front of me, and I don't dare to offend it like that, but there's no other way, it's really difficult.
"When you encountered this kind of thing before, where did you come from?"
Hearing me say this, the old man simply sat down on the ground: "Just wait here, it's almost dawn, they will naturally leave." ”
Waiting......
I looked at other places, and there was no village in front of me, no shop in the back, and if anything really happened here, no one found out.
There were those filthy things on both sides, but those filthy things were some very low-level geisms, and I didn't want them to take up the space in my soul flags.
Forget it, it's better not to take the risk.
I thought about it and sat down on the ground, staring at the huge black shadows in front of me.
I became numb after watching those ghosts too much, and after a long time, my eyelids were a little sore, and I couldn't help but yawn and rub my eyes.
At this moment, I suddenly heard several dull sounds, as if something huge was falling, and the distance was a little far away.
"You're not human!" The old man, who had been sitting quietly in front of him, suddenly turned his head and looked at me in horror.
I was so frightened by his sudden roar that I froze in place for a while.
Soon I saw the old man get up from the ground in a panic, don't look at the old man's figure is a little rickety, but the movement is very neat, when he started to do something, he hurried to my side, jumped over me at once, and almost fell into the ditch, but in the end he was still staggered to his feet, he looked back at me a few times and ran away in a panic the way I came.
Seeing him like this, I felt a little dazed.
Am I not human?
At this moment, the dull voice suddenly sounded a few more times, as if it was coming from in front of me.
Forget it, no matter the old man, it's inexplicable.
I couldn't help but look up and look ahead, and this look startled me, only to see a few huge black shadows that had been swaying in front of me, and I don't know when they were staggering in my direction.
The huge figures were so terrifying that I felt my scalp tingle, and then I realized that the muffled sounds just now were all the sounds they made as they walked.
Step by step, the distance between me and me was cut in half in the blink of an eye.
At this time, I realized that the old man probably saw them coming, so he suddenly ran away.
Those are the gatekeepers of hell, and no matter how curious I am, I don't dare to confront them like this.
I got up from the ground and tried to slip away, but just as I had turned around and had not taken two steps, a dull voice suddenly came from behind me, and the voice was very cold, as if it had come from hell.
"Who's there?"
I felt my scalp tingle even more, and I don't know if they were asking me, but I was alone, and I was scared.
Originally, the ghosts in the ditch, after hearing this sound, immediately let out a scream, and then went directly into the ditch, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Look at their bravado, they are not afraid of me at all, and the soul collection banner in my hand, now they are like this, it is estimated that the huge black shadows behind them are really the gatekeepers of hell, otherwise who would have such a great deterrent?
I walked hard, but the dull footsteps kept ringing behind me, and soon I felt a gust of wind blowing.
I felt that something was wrong, there seemed to be a little change in front of my eyes, and when I squinted my eyes and saw what was in front of me, I was startled and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Boy! Those huge figures, I don't know when they came directly in front of me!
I hurriedly turned and walked behind me, but I also saw two large black shadows standing behind me.
But even when I got so close, I couldn't see what they looked like, I could only see a black patch, which made people breathless, and I guess they were as dark as the black shadow when I was a child, all black.
That's when I realized that they had just called me, and I felt a chill all over my body.
At this point, if it was possible that I really wanted to hide in the ditch by the side of the road, like those dirty things, but it was obviously impossible, and I had nowhere to escape, so I just stood where I was.
"Who's coming?" I heard the cold, hollow voice of a dark shadow ringing above my head, and I felt a little pain in my eardrums.
I gritted my teeth and didn't speak, but they didn't seem to behave aggressively towards me.
But it's not a matter to keep going like this, after a long time, I can't help but tentatively speak: "I'm just passing through here, and there is no malice, if you disturb a few, I apologize to you here, you adults have a lot, don't worry about me." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a dead silence in my ears, and after a long time, I heard a dark shadow say slowly: "Someone can actually see us." ”
Hearing him say that, I felt like things were going to get worse.
Could it be that they just thought I didn't see them? Did they just test me by doing this?
Isn't it revealing that I say that? My heart sank.
Then I saw those black shadows slowly walking towards me, and my huge body forced me to breathe a little hard.
I felt a cold sweat on my head, and I couldn't help but say, "I really don't have any malice, I'm just passing by here in a hurry, I'll leave now." ”
After saying that, I walked straight to the front, silently thinking to myself, don't stop me.
But as if they hadn't heard me, the shadows kept moving closer to me, and at last I had to stop.
At this time, the huge black shadows were only two meters away from me, and I couldn't see the top of their heads, and I felt two thick walls in front of me, blocking my way.
Finished... How could I come across something so strange?
I couldn't help but close my eyes, now I had no way to escape, and I was a little desperate in my heart, the cold sweat on my body was rising layer by layer, almost wetting my clothes, and sticking to my body was very uncomfortable.
Just when I thought they were going to take me to hell, I suddenly felt a wind blow beside me, and then I heard several voices in unison.
"We have been waiting here for a long time, and there is no danger on the road ahead, so you can go boldly and boldly."
I was a little stunned when this sentence was said respectfully, and I looked up slightly, but I still couldn't see their heads, and I could only feel that they should be bent over now.
After I figured it out, I became even more desperate, and since I was desperate, I was not so scared, so I said, "Are you trying to take me to hell?" But I didn't make any big mistakes, I still have to live well, you hell accept people, are you so casual? ”
The figures of the black shadows moved, and finally one of the black shadows said: "We have just received a notice that we know that you are going to pass through here, so we will hurry out to help you investigate, the road ahead is no longer those ghosts, it is clean, you can walk over with confidence." ”
This is the road to hell that has opened up for me...... I felt a little sad and angry, but I quickly calmed down.
I know I'm going to pass through here, so I'm waiting here, who the hell is it? I was waited for by a few gatekeepers of hell, and if I could get out alive, would I have more face if I said it?
"It's okay if you want me to go to hell, but can I see the priest before then? I have important things to say to him. I said.
I want to ask him, does he care about his children? Although it is his body in the yang world, but he did it, and he can't just deny it.
Hearing me say this, several of them immediately became a little panicked: "We don't dare to let you go to hell, the road ahead is not the road to hell, it is the road of the normal yang world, we just came to help you clean up those ghosts." ”
Hearing him say that, I just understood a little, it just seemed to be... Did I misunderstand?
Looking at their attitude now, it seems that what they just said is true, after all, these few huge things of theirs are more than enough to pull me in directly.
But I'm still a little worried, and I don't believe it so easily.
"Then tell me, who told you to come?"
Knowing that I passed through here, there were the pharmacist, some little ghosts, and the old man with night vision just now.
Who the hell is it?
