Chapter 161: The Battle of the Ghost City (1)
My body was constantly falling in the void, and all I saw in front of me was darkness and darkness, as if there was no end.
I tried to struggle, I tried to escape, but it was all in vain.
Nervousness and fear still took over my entire mind, and my mind went blank, except for the restless heart that was beating faster and faster.
"Don't struggle, try to let the darkness envelop your body, imagining that they are just a part of your body, supporting you to slowly fall, fall, until your feet are on the solid and heavy ground."
Ruan Hongyu's voice was like a clear spring in despair, cleansing my soul and showing me the way forward.
Searching for her words, I gradually relaxed my body and mind, and began to try her methods to find a bright path for myself.
Gradually, I found that the darkness seemed to merge with me, and we had you and me, and I had you, regardless of each other.
At this moment, time seems to stand still, and the falling body is already grounded.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a gray world. Gray sky, gray trees, gray peaks, gray earth, everything is gray.
In this gray world, there is no sun, moon, stars, no day and no night, only eternal darkness.
I looked at the strange world in front of me with curiosity—the Netherworld in the mouth of ordinary people, the "Pure Land of Bliss" in the mouth of cultivators.
"Aren't you a little surprised, you didn't expect that the legendary abyss of death, which is known as the ultimate fear, would be like this!" Ruan Hongyu, who was standing next to me, said.
"Hmmm! I really didn't expect it. It feels like another world, just missing some color and light. I looked at the silhouette of a giant city looming in the distance, and said with some emotion.
"Another world? Hehe! You don't seem to be right to say that, but it's too monotonous and dead here, and it's torture for ghosts to stay here for a long time. ”
What Ruan Hongyu said touched me deeply.
Indeed, in this land full of the smell of death everywhere, under this gray sky where there is no alternation of sun and moon, and day and night are distinct, no matter who you are, there will be a feeling of oppression. It will make them involuntarily want to escape from here. Perhaps this is the root of the peace between the yin and yang worlds!
After Ruan Hongyu came to this world, she seemed to have been touched by something, and began to talk about an unknown past.
Eight hundred years ago, the Ruan family was a family of eunuchs in the Song Dynasty at that time, and Ruan Hongyu can be said to be a famous family.
At that time, she was only in her twenties, and she was already born in the country and the city. I don't know how many young talents from big families have broken through the threshold of their own family.
But at that time, she already had a sweetheart, and she couldn't tolerate anyone in her heart, so in the end, these people all returned in vain.
Who her sweetheart was, Ruan Hongyu did not elaborate.
But I can imagine that that man must be very good, otherwise it would be impossible to impress the peerless Ruan Hongyu.
It's a pity that the two didn't come together in the end.
Because at that time, there was a man who was a hundred or ten thousand times more noble than the man she liked, and this person was the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not my minister!
As the emperor, he sits on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, is the supreme existence, in a word, it is the will of heaven, and no one can disobey it.
For the sake of the family, Ruan Hongyu could only be forced to enter the palace and become one of the many concubines in the emperor's harem.
It's just that with her temperament, she didn't want to be controlled, and finally on the wedding night, she chose to commit suicide wearing a red wedding dress.
On the same night, Ruan Hongyu carried a part of the dragon luck qi and turned into a Shura ghost, and cultivated to the ghost king.
That night the stars were bright, that night was covered with blood clouds, and that night of killing continued.
She was so angry that she went on a killing spree in the palace, and countless innocent people died tragically because of her.
In the end, because of her unprovoked killing, she attracted a high-ranking person.
After several encounters, she was finally subdued by him and sent to the underworld with a secret seal and repair.
But the family has family rules, and the state has national laws.
There are countless people who have died because of her, and even in the underworld, there is no place for her.
In order to survive, she could only fight back, and in these countless years of conquest, her cultivation gradually increased day by day, and gradually became the king of ghost kings.
But even so, she still misses the man in her heart, still misses the prosperity of the world, and wants to escape from this huge cage......
When she said this, she didn't say anything more, but frowned lightly, looked at the darkness in the distance and said, "It's really perseverance, and I actually chased them all here." ”
"Who?"
"Who else could it be, of course it's the pair of devils!" Ruan Hongyu said with a smile.
Hearing that the ghost girls were chasing after me again, my face was quite ugly. With little hesitation, he began to borrow the blue rune.
"Fast as the wind, fast as rain, moving as a rabbit, fast as thunder, yin and yang dao, fast!"
The moment the blue talisman in my hand burned out, the rune paper turned into a white light and bathed me, and my speed suddenly increased to the extreme.
In the blink of an eye, I turned into a rush of thunder, and with lightning speed, I drove away from this dangerous area and rushed in the direction of the huge city.
But before I could get far, I sped back with a black face and a speed that was a few minutes faster than before, and ran in the opposite direction.
I secretly scolded myself for being stupid as I ran, and I didn't even perceive the surrounding situation beforehand, and not only did I not get rid of the pursuers behind me, but instead reminded the other party of my whereabouts.
"Falling to the sky, your little ghost is trapped in the ghost town ahead, if you go late, I guess you won't even have to collect the corpse."
I was running desperately, but suddenly I heard this sentence from behind, which directly made me pause and stand in place.
On the ghost car, I clearly remember that at the last moment, it was Lingji who dragged me back from the yang, which created a perfect period for me to escape.
Originally, I always thought that Lingji had also escaped. But she didn't expect that she was trapped in the huge city in front of her, unable to extricate herself.
As soon as I thought that something might happen to her, my heart beat a drum, and I no longer had the desire to escape, so I turned to the ghost son and mother who caught up and asked, "Ghost girl, what you said is true?"
