After about a few breaths, the millet finally stopped beating, but fell back into the porcelain bowl one after another, and the red rope also stopped trembling.

At this time, my parents felt that suddenly a small whirlwind rose out of thin air above the old man's head, and this gust of wind flew out of my window with a roll of paper ashes in the iron basin.

My parents looked at the old man's body wrapped in smoke, and then at the paper ashes flying into the air, and looked at each other, each of them seeing a look of shock in the other's eyes.

They finally saw that the way was coming, the old man and the poor ghost flew away with paper ashes, the poor ghost swept away the money, presumably the old man swept away the sedan chair and the four sedan chair men.

In my mind, the old man said that the paper man paper sedan chair was used by himself, and it seems that he, like the poor ghost, has also become a ghost, and the sedan chair is his means of transportation, which is used to take my soul home.

My parents looked at the old man Jiang who was sitting on the ground, silently, like a dead man, his eyes were full of admiration, his soul was out of his body, and he just left, how much Taoism did it take to do it.

Then the two of them suddenly remembered what the old man said before leaving, these twenty-seven sandalwood sticks could not be extinguished, and hurriedly stared at the sandalwood in the porcelain bowl with dead eyes, for fear that it would be extinguished for no reason.

If it is extinguished, they will quickly replace it with one as quickly as possible, so as not to cause any accidents.

At the same time, I was lying unconscious on the kang and had a very strange and long dream.

In my dream, it was pitch black between heaven and earth, and I felt that I had been moving forward tirelessly.

After a moment of climbing over a high mountain, a moment of crossing a large river, and I don't know how long I walked, a straight road finally appeared in front of me.

The road was paved with yellow dirt and there was no end in sight, and I walked alone on the wide loess road, surrounded by silence and lifelessness.

At this time, I couldn't help but wonder how I could have come to this loess road, and this road was so unfamiliar, I thought about it, and I couldn't remember where there was this road around the village, obviously, I had never walked this loess road.

I looked around a few times, it was all pitch black, gloomy, it seemed that there was only one way to go at the moment, and if I wanted to go home, I had to bury my head all the way to the dark.

Thinking of this, I took a step and walked along the loess road all the way forward.

In this way, I don't know how long I walked, I suddenly saw a faint light in front of me, and there were faint figures walking, and immediately, my face was overjoyed, thinking that I had finally seen a living person, so I hurriedly chased after the light.

When I followed the light to catch up with the crowd, I found that at the forefront were two people dressed in the clothes of ancient officials, and they each had a big "poor" embroidered on their chests, and the light I saw came from the white lanterns they were carrying.

Behind the two of them, there were about forty or fifty people, and all of them lined up in an orderly manner, and their clothes were very strange, some ancient and some modern.

Among them, men and women, old and young, all hurried away with their heads bowed, and did not talk to each other at all.

At that time, I didn't think much about it, I quickly stepped forward and grabbed the arm of a woman who was in a hurry, and asked, "Auntie, I'm lost, do you know how to get to Daliu Village?" ”

This woman originally lowered her head, but I pulled her down, stopped and slowly raised her head, when I saw her face, it really startled me, and my heart suddenly chuckled.

The woman was disheveled, her face was as white as paper, her eyes were straight, the muscles on her face were stiff, there was no expression at all, and she looked lifeless.

That's not all, what surprised me even more was that I didn't look at her dress carefully before, it didn't matter what I was wearing, I was almost scared to scream, she was wearing a black dress, and there was a big "Shou" word embroidered on her chest!

Seeing this, how could I not understand, this woman, fucking wearing a shroud!

I immediately felt a tingle on my scalp, this woman is sick, what are you doing in a shroud, this is a fucking dress for the dead!

Just as I was shocked, the woman spoke to me in a hoarse voice, "Daliu Village? I don't know, it's not far from the ghost door closed, where can you go and ask. After speaking, the woman moved her steps like a machine, followed the crowd with dull eyes, and slowly walked forward.

"Ghost Gate!"

After listening to this, my heart was like being mentioned to my throat, and I began to faintly feel that something was wrong in my heart, isn't this ghost gate the gateway to the underworld? How did I come to such a place, could it be that these people in front of me are all dead.

Thinking of this, I immediately chuckled in my heart, knowing that I had encountered something dirty, or I had crashed into some evil place.

Then I looked closely at the people who were hurrying away, and suddenly found that a few of them had no heads, and a few of them had their eyes bulging high and their tongues sticking out, and my legs were so weak that I almost sat on the ground.

"Hell yes! What a hell of a life! I forced myself to lift the little strength in my body, and without even thinking about it, I turned around and ran.

As I ran, I looked at the loess road beneath my feet, and I finally knew where I had come when I thought of the two ancient officials with white lanterns and what the woman had just said.

The road under my feet is most likely the Huangquan Road leading to the Ghost Gate, and these people, no, ghosts to be exact, they are all in a hurry to go to the underworld to be reincarnated.

The two people in front of them carrying white lanterns are the yin cha who guides the way for the ghost, that is, people often say that the soul seducing messenger, if a person's yang life is exhausted, at this time, there will be a yin cha to take away his soul, and the lantern in the hands of the two of them is the "guiding light" for the ghost to guide the way. ”

If I'm following them, I'll reach the entrance of the underworld, and once I'm there, I won't be able to get out.

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and I ran all the way with my head down, and just as I was running dozens of meters away from the road, I suddenly felt a black shadow flickering in front of me, and then the two Yin cha carrying lanterns appeared in front of me.

One of them stopped me and shouted, "Bold little ghost, you dare to escape without entering the reincarnation of the underworld!" Watch and hit! ”

After saying that, he took out a swarthy whip from his waist, and without saying anything, he slashed his head and face at me.

"Smack".

I was knocked to the ground at once, and the whip was made of no known material, and it brought a puff of green smoke on me, and in a short time I was beaten with my skin and flesh, and my whole body was in hot pain.

I screamed a few times, rolled on the ground with my body in my arms, and for a moment, my back was a blur of flesh and blood that he had drawn.

And those who were in a hurry, just looked back at me, not one spoke, no one showed sympathy, they still hurried away with such expressionless faces, as if everything in front of them had nothing to do with them, very cold-blooded and numb.
