Chapter 241: On Huangquan Road
Sixteen flags are lined up on the left and right!
Holding the talisman paper in his hand, Ning Qiu stepped on Yu Bu, and there were words in his mouth, and flames came out of the talisman head! He threw the rune paper forward, only to see that the flames of the rune paper were getting bigger and bigger, forming a large circle of fire! The flags on both sides were windless and automatic, hunting sounded, and the color of the fire circle began to turn black, and there was a trace of ripples inside, and a vague scene could be vaguely seen!
He quickly materialized, took a few steps forward, passed through the ring of fire, and disappeared into the bar......
All that was left was the circle of flames slowly turning......
The breeze blows, with a bone-chilling coolness......
Here it is......
Ning Qiu's eyes opened.
At this time, he stood on an endless desolate Gobi......
Look up, the gray sky ......
Look at the ground again, the gray stones, the gray earth, like a completely faded world! He couldn't hear anything, and the silence was terrifying, as if all living things had gone extinct......
Well?
Wait a minute......
There is the sound of flowing water......
He looked down, his brow furrowed, and his feet were standing in a stream, washed over his trouser legs by the yellowish water......
Just here, there is a stream?
The stream is not wide, about four or five meters, and the water is shallow, but it is not up to the ankles......
Suddenly, there was a light flickering in front of me......
The stream at your feet looms in sync with the flickering light......
It dawned on him that it was the appearance of this light that could see the yellow stream!
Take a step and chase in the direction of the blue light!
As he got closer, he realized that the light was coming from a lantern, in the shape of an ancient wooden barrel, wrapped in a circle of paper, and carried from top of it with a stick......
The person holding the lantern in front of him was a middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and brown cloth pants, his hair was very short, like the hairstyle of a labor prisoner, and his skin showed a thick dead gray, and the whole person seemed to have faded, except for his clothes, only black, white and gray remained. There was a hole in the back of his head, and a hole in the center of his eyebrows, as if something had pierced it......
Ning Qiu, who entered here after the spiritualization, was almost the same as the person in front of him, and his body was dead gray!
He was walking slowly......
The person in front of him is not a living person, he is in a state of soul, although he looks a little dull, but he is a little more agile than the soul of the yang world. At this moment, the man with a hole in his brain raised his head and looked at Ning Qiu: "Where is your lantern...... The voice was very soft, light like the last words of those who were dying, angry but weak......
Lantern?
Ning Qiu was shocked, this soul consciousness was quite clear!
According to what he and Ye Meng saw through the mirror, Luo Yueqi and Yao Ji were very likely to be locked up in the volcanic hell of the underworld!
Before meeting the two of them, he needs to hide his identity as much as possible, not to expose it, not to conflict, so as not to make his trip unreasonably difficult! Hearing the middle-aged man's inquiry, Ning Qiu tried his best to be expressionless, and replied lifelessly, "I don't know, I'm here when I wake up...... What is the use of this lantern and where did it come from......"
The middle-aged man stiffly lifted the lantern and even pointed to the boundless Gobi Desert behind him!
He said quietly: "The ghost gate is closed, and the ghost guarding the door is sent to ...... Lantern...... It can light the way ahead, and you won't get lost......"
Ning Qiu was a little surprised, there was still such a thing, could it be that an outsider broke into the underworld, if there was no lantern lighting, he would be trapped in the boundless Gobi Desert forever?
The corners of his mouth raised slightly: "This big brother, can you give me your lantern?" ”
The middle-aged man turned around and carried the lantern: "The ghost cha said, this lantern has one soul and one soul, and it can't be lost ......" Before he finished speaking, his head fell to the ground, leaving only one body standing dumbfounded! Ning Qiu took the lantern in his hand with his left hand: "Thank you, big brother!" He pinched the paper knife made of talisman paper folded in the middle finger of his right hand, and it was this paper knife that separated the head and body of the person in front of him......
After all, it's a soul, and it's in the underworld!
Even if the head moves, there will be no signs of ashes for a while, and even if you give it some more time!
It is possible that the body can pick up the head and put it on itself!
Ning Qiu took out the glass bottle, and he bowed gratefully: "Big brother, you gave me the lantern, with your appearance, you may have committed a crime and been shot to death!" Then I can't watch you go to hell and suffer, I'll send you to another place, although it's a little boring, but you can play a little bit of value......"
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand: "My lantern ......"
His body and head turned into green smoke and were directly received into a glass bottle......
Putting the glass bottle into his pocket, Ning Qiu looked in from the top of the lantern, and there was no candle, only a small bottle, filled with oil, and a wick extended from the ground up, with a light blue flame on it! It is this faltering fire that seems to be extinguished at any time that can illuminate a way forward in this barren Gobi......
If you look at it according to the description of the legend of the underworld, the slowly flowing stream under your feet should be the legendary Huangquan Road!
However, according to the legend, the flowers bloom on the other side of the Yellow Spring Road, why is there only one Yellow Spring here without any flowers and plants?
Ning Qiu rolled the rune paper into a slender paper stick, stretched into the lantern and gently flicked the wick, the faint flame immediately grew a few times, the entire lantern was filled with blue light, and the yellow spring under his feet became clearer and clearer! Immediately after that, bright red flowers kept appearing on both sides, but in an instant, his whole body was almost drowned in the sea of flowers......
This bright red flower on the other side, also known as Manzhu Sahua, has petals like needles!
Commonly known as the flower of introduction, it can make the soul walking on the Huangquan Road finally recall some profound things in life!
As soon as the breeze blew, the sea of Manzhu sawa flowers, each small flower swayed gently, like a wave, and the faint fragrance penetrated into the tip of his nose, Ning Qiu only felt that some fragments of dusty memories in his brain had been turned out! When he was a child, Old Man Ning stood behind him with a bamboo whip, urging himself to study seriously, and if he was a little distracted, the bamboo whip would fall on his arm and draw out a red mark......
And every time on the way home from school, the old aunt nearby would point to herself and say to the child: "Look at Ning Qiu, how good it is to study, if you can have half of him, I will thank God!" Then Ning Qiu would feel a series of eyes focused on his backbone, he knew that it was the gaze of a child who was being preached, if the gaze could kill, he should have died countless times......
He shouldn't have remembered these childhood memories, but under the fragrance of them, he remembered them all......
Shaking his head slightly, he buried the memories back......
The past should be buried in the past, and thinking about it again will only add blockage to the heart. The underworld suppressed the flame of the lantern, probably because he didn't want the souls to walk on the Huangquan Road and cause unnecessary trouble with his cranky thoughts. In the boundless sea of Manzhu Sawa flowers, he strode forward with a lantern......
