When I got off the single-plank bridge, another stone door opened, and it was a spiraling staircase, where it led to I don't know where it was, but I saw endless steps.

After making sure that the stairs were not dangerous, I embarked on the boring path downstairs, and after walking for another time, I finally walked out and saw the scene of another village.

This is a large palace, with red walls and green tiles, clear springs and green water, and criss-crossing corridors made of white marble railings.

"Is this coming back again?"

I ran out a few steps and found that the palaces were built on the water, and in the middle of the pond a large spring was "abruptly" splashing with white water.

"That's right, I'm back again."

Seeing the water here, I think this should be the source of the river in Luoyang City, and this palace should be where the emperor lives.

Now the stone gates I came from are closed and merge with the surrounding stone walls, and of course I don't want to go back even if the doors are open, and the only hope is to find my way home from here and escape.

I had lost my sense of direction at all, trotting along the winding court paths, unable to appreciate the beauty around me, and one carved wooden door after another was left behind.

However, it is not possible to run fast to escape, every house here is the same, and the curvature of each path is almost indistinguishable, and I am now in a vast labyrinth, and a sense of despair that I will never be able to get out of it arises.

"How so?"

I slowed down my pace and looked at the grass and trees here, and saw that almost everything here was engraved with incomprehensible words.

These words are a bit like the scriptures on the walls of the cavern, but I have checked the information that they do not belong to the scriptures or Sanskrit, but to an ancient and mysterious curse, and no one knows what they mean by reading them.

"Goo, goo."

There was a strange sound in the water, and I instinctively looked at the surface of the lake, only to see that a blistered and somewhat pale face at the place where the sound came from gradually sank.

My first reaction was that I thought there were people underwater, so I leaned on the white marble railing and looked down, the water here was very clean, but the light was very dim, so I only saw a slight flow of waves.

"Am I dazzled?"

Suddenly, a weird white smiling face suddenly came out of the water, and I was so frightened that I stepped back one after another and sat on the ground, of course, the exaggerated movements also made my hand touch something around me.

I was the only one in the hallway, and I reached out and touched the place again, and it was empty, with nothing but air.

"Who is it?"

I didn't believe it was my own delusion, so I dared to shout out to cheer myself up, so as not to panic and hallucinate.

"Who, who, who, who......."

The strange echoes have been traveling far and wide, and I don't know how these echoes are generated, only that they are not scientifically based in the current environment.

"Hahaha......"

A string of eerie laughter scared my heart for a while, a bit like a baby's laughter, a little like the whining of a puppy, and a bit like the chirping of a wild cat. Later, I wasn't sure what the sound was, so I got up and ran for my life.....

"Poof."

I tripped over something, and a sharp pain spread all around me, followed by a similar series of laughter. At this time, I suddenly thought that the thing here could also be the kind of black shadow that people could not see, and suddenly I opened the eyes of heaven with my luck.

I saw countless black shadows of all sizes in the corridor, all of them were graceful, some were slim, some were charming, some were half-sized around them, and some were holding swaddling babies.

They seemed to laugh at me for being so cowardly, and I was a little embarrassed to stand up in front of everyone, and of course I wouldn't get close to them, because they could no longer be called ghosts or ghosts, but shadows.

Yin Qi continued to emerge from the water, and I dared to lie on the railing and look down, only to see that there were corpses all over the field, crisscrossing corpses soaking in the water.

"Whew."

I couldn't help but spit out a few sips of sour water, because I really didn't have anything left in my stomach to vomit, but it was this simple act that angered the shadows, as if I had caused them disrespect by what I had just done.

Of course, they are much less of a threat than the soldiers with weapons, and although they have their own teeth and claws, the innate weakness of their bodies does not give me any deterrent.

I wrote two sleepy characters, and then typed one on each side, only to see that the sleepy characters were like a moving wall pushing those black shadows to squeeze to the sides, and suddenly they were in a mess, only a few reflexes took the opportunity to jump into the water to dodge.

"Whoosh."

I drew my sword and turned a moon shadow in my hand, shaved off a white jade pillar beside me, and said, "Can you understand me?" ”

Seeing this, they all nodded, and I smiled with satisfaction: "Don't be afraid, I just want to get out of here, is there anyone willing to take me out?" ”

This time they didn't nod, but looked somewhere in horror. I turned my head and saw a big black cat squatting on the eaves, its head and feet the size of a tiger, its black and smooth fur, and its eyes glaring at me.

"Whew!"

That's when it saw my first reaction when I found it!

"Hey, hey, hey!"

The black cat grinned strangely and took a few steps back, I swear it was definitely the first time I had ever seen a cat laugh, or that it was not smiling but demonstrating to me.

This black cat, also known as the dark cat, is said to come from hell and belongs to one of the three beasts of the Jizo King Bodhisattva. Vicious and indifferent by nature, born of negative emotions such as evil and ** in people's hearts, it is the product of people's hearts.

But I heard that this cat suddenly disappeared a long time ago, how could it suddenly appear in Sunset City, and it is still so big!

I took the sleepy characters back and asked the shadows, "It's always been here?" ”

The black shadows didn't give me any answer at all, and they fled in a panic, and returned to their respective rooms, and in an instant there were only me and the cats left in the big garden.

The cat's slick body scurried around me on the roof, its two bright black eyes locked on me and never leaving for a moment.

I know it's a feline-specific foraging move, and now it's looking for my defensive weakness, and running away will only blow out my fragile back so I'll die faster. So I simply curled up with my body half-bowed, holding the sword in one hand and watching its every move tightly, adjusting my position at any time to maintain a confrontation with it.
