Chapter 16: The Passage of Hades
I looked at the corpse, I felt very eerie, I looked at it, and suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at me with a cold look, my back couldn't help but feel cold, my brain felt a strong dizziness, and my whole body was close to numbness.
The old driver seemed to be saying something in front of me, but I couldn't hear anything clearly and couldn't move.
It was as if my soul was trapped in something.
I turned my head to see if I was trapped. I was lying in that coffin.
And the old driver and my body were still standing there, staring at me, as if he didn't know that I was trapped in this body.
I just felt that my body was slowly starting to stiffen, and a cold that penetrated deep into my bone marrow was seeping into my body, and I tried to break free with my mind, but I found that it didn't help at all.
At this time, an evil voice suddenly came, "What's in this coffin is the real you." ”
It was low and indifferent, with a slightly hoarse voice, cool, like ice water in winter.
I couldn't help but tremble, what does this mean that this is the real me?
Is this still a fantasy? I ignored the voice, restrained myself, and suppressed any emotion, only in this way, in a state of stillness, could I break through the illusion.
I looked at the coffin, the red lacquered coffin, bright red as blood, with unknown talismans carved on it, I looked at those talismans, and suddenly I became dizzy, and I could only close my eyes.
When I felt clearer, I opened my eyes and found myself in an unknown space.
There were clouds and mist all around, and blue fire fluttering in the distance.
And the old driver was still standing there, just far away from me, as if talking to my body, tugging at my body, with a very anxious look.
I shouted to him from the side, but he couldn't hear it at all, as if the yin and yang were separated.
My soul and body were separated, and I felt a slight startle every time he pulled my body hard.
Am I already dead?
While I was still puzzled, a huge shadow shone over my head, and I turned my head to see that it was the big monster.
It was a little comforting that it could still see me, but the didn't seem to be able to speak, and it couldn't tell me how to get back to the flesh.
At this moment, I saw a few ghostly shadows floating near the river, accompanied by a cold laughter. Their shadows look thick, and there are vague facial features on their faces, but they can't see their looks clearly.
When the ghosts saw me, they whispered, as if to say, how can there be people here? It looks so fresh, with fine skin and tender meat, it looks delicious.
After listening to it, I broke out in a cold sweat.
I thought, the old driver is not here now, but what can I do, I already knew that I would also learn some charms and the like.
Seeing that the ghosts were about to fly towards me, one of the big-bellied ghosts in the lead asked me in surprise, "Why do you smell of life?" ”
I was so frightened that my teeth chattered and said, "Just died." ”
The big-bellied ghost whispered something to the ghosts next to him, and after speaking, he laughed out loud.
Then, a fierce glint flashed in its eyes, and a vicious smirk appeared on its shriveled face, and it spat out its long serpent-like tongue.
Then a huge bloody claw stretched out, grabbed the air from the top of my head, and I jerked back, only to be forced to dig a hole in the ground behind me by the big bloody claw.
The ghosts here are much fiercer than those in the yang world.
The pot-bellied ghost looked at me again and laughed wildly, "I don't know where it came from, our brothers have been hungry for several days, just to replenish their vitality." ”
As soon as the ghost had said this, suddenly, the earth beast came out of nowhere, and scared the ghosts enough.
The earth beast was like a cat smelling a fishy smell, fidgeting and gearing up, and before I could react to what was going on, it slammed the ghosts one by one, like eating a small bean paste bun, and swallowed them all.
After eating, don't forget to burp a few times.
The old driver said that this thing eats ghosts, and it turned out to be real.
I'm relieved to have it next to me. As I walked along the river, I saw several ghosts scattered around, and the beast ate with me, as if it were a buffet, and it seemed that it had been hungry for a long time.
The beast was also wise, and feared that the demons would see it run away, so they hid it first, and when the demons came to catch me, they would jump out and eat them.
Looks like they're using me as bait, and I wonder if it's a ghost when all this happens.
The further we went, the clearer the appearance of those ghosts became, the more they looked like people in the yang world.
And the streets and buildings here are gradually becoming clearer, and they look no different from the above, banks, shopping malls, supermarkets, there are even them, but they are a little old, like the feeling of the 80s.
In addition, there is no sun here, and the light is more like the light of the moon.
When we walked further, we saw a painting boat on the river, which was beautifully built, and the lanterns inside and outside were also ingenious and exquisite, and a woman's cry came from time to time in the painting boat.
I couldn't help but want to go over and take a look, but I found a delicate woman sitting on the painting boat, with a slender and moving body, wrapped in a red dress, with a trace of tears in her eyes shining like starlight, her hair flowing and soft, her skin fair and fragrant, especially the flaming red lips, I only felt a thick fat powder on my face.
It's hot enough, it's riotous enough, especially the pear blossoms with rain, and it's delicate.
I couldn't help but feel like I was in a rage.
At this moment, the earth beast suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and went up to eat her.
The beautiful female ghost in red was so frightened that she shrunk her body and was about to hide back, her petite and delicate body trembling.
I roared angrily, you have eaten all the way, blind, this is a ghost, it is clearly a fairy, okay!
When the beast heard me, it stopped and stepped back behind me, looking at me pitifully with its big red eyes, as if it knew it had done something wrong.
I looked at it carefully, and was shocked, it was even 1 times bigger than before, it stood on the painting boat, the painting boat sank straight down, this way to eat really fat, it was so fat.
I'm going to get that monster ashore and don't sink the ship in a moment.
The woman in red was still palpitating, her eyes were round, and her delicate body was shaking, and she said to me, "This is an earth beast?!" ”
Her voice is really as pleasant as a yellow warbler out of the valley, but her voice is a little trembling.
"Yes, I raised it." I scratched my head embarrassedly, "Didn't scare you, did you?" ”
"You actually raised this earth beast?" I saw her ruddy little mouth open slightly, and her eyes were full of surprise.
"I see that you still smell of life, you should be a new ghost, right? Even an old ghost who has been cultivating for a hundred years is not capable of raising this earth beast. The woman in red took a deep breath and was stunned for a long time, but she really couldn't figure out why.
I didn't answer her directly, I can't say that it was because she was so stupid that she mistook me for its owner.
Just as I was pondering my words, I suddenly heard a noise in the distance, and I saw a crowd of people.
