Chapter 68: Darkness
Without waiting for me to ask again, Cui Erniang chuckled and floated away.
I looked at his back and felt a little.... Well... The egg hurts.
Hong Aya walked over, patted me on the shoulder and smiled, "Cui Erniang has taken a fancy to you?" ”
I opened her hand: "Don't! I'm a straight guy! ”
"I'm too.... I didn't say you bent ......"
“........”
After a very strange conversation, I suddenly remembered the red rope on my hand, and when I looked down, I found that there was still no red rope on my finger!
"Red Aya, Red Rope.... Why hasn't it appeared yet? I panicked and asked, "Isn't there something wrong up there?" ”
Hearing this, she also nodded and said: "I can't rule out this possibility, after all, their target is you, as long as you destroy your body, then you will change from fake death to real death!" ”
"Holy! So what to do?! ”
"Let's take it one step at a time." Hong Aya said: "Let's try first and see if we can get out of the underworld." ”
In this way, I returned to the city of vain death with her again to find Dou E and asked her if she could get out of the underworld, but she told us very clearly - no.
"But you can give it a try, and maybe you can get out." Dou E said: "Maybe the red rope is broken, it stands to reason that as long as the body is not bad, you can go out, but it will take some more time." ”
We thanked us and went back the same way, until we walked to the Yin Yang Gate, where we saw Cui Erniang and the big man in armor.
"What, you want to go out through the Yin-Yang Gate?" Cui Erniang was a little surprised, and reminded: "If you want to leave from the Yin Yang Gate, you must pass through endless darkness and that guy's shelter on the way. ”
"When we came down, didn't we go directly to the door of the Yin and Yang Gate? Why do you have to go through so many places to go back? I asked, confused.
"Of course it's different!" Cui Erniang shook her head and said: "When you came, you actually passed through these places, but the person who sent you down cast a spell, so that you arrived in front of the Yin and Yang Gate in a drowsy state, but you went back this time without direction guidance, so you could only pass through that guy's territory by yourself." ”
He kept saying "that guy" seems to be a very powerful thing, but I don't know what it is, and just about to ask, the big man in armor grabbed ahead of me and said: "There are some things, knowing it is not good for you, in short, you should be careful when you pass by, don't wake up that thing, otherwise... Even if Erniang and I go, we will only die. ”
"We got it." Red Aya replied thoughtfully.
Cui Erniang opened the door and instructed me: "If there is danger in the future, use the talisman I gave you." ”
I have some second monks who can't touch their heads, it stands to reason that I should take advantage of the amulet I left the talisman, how do you look at Cui Erniang's appearance, it seems that I still want to catch up to protect me?
It seems like..... We don't have much to do with each other, huh?
I was a little dazed, but I grinned at him before following Red Aya out.
As soon as the front foot stepped out of the Yin-Yang Gate, the surrounding environment suddenly changed greatly, the rocks and loess disappeared, and even the Yin-Yang Gate was lost.
Around the two of us, wrapped in pitch darkness, a very narrow path was faintly visible beneath our feet, stretching forward until the end of the line of sight.
"Red Aya, are you... Know what 'that guy' is? I remembered how thoughtful Hong Aya had just looked, so I asked her.
"I've heard of some, but I don't know if it's true." She pointed to the road under her feet: "Let's talk as you go, it's a long road." ”
She reminded me not to step on the outside of the road, or I would be swallowed up by the darkness, in which there is no end until the soul dissipates.
So the problem comes, the road is very narrow, and it can accommodate two people walking side by side, and there is no extra space. I tried it with Hongya, and found that we had to be close to each other to walk side by side, so I proposed, "Why don't we two go side by side, how about me in front and you behind?" ”
"This road is not how you want to go." Red Aya said: "If you take the wrong step, you will also be devoured." ”
"And what about you in front and me behind?"
"You don't want to walk side by side with me?"
“.........”
Helpless, in the end, I could only continue to cling to it and walk forward slowly.
"Let me tell you the story I heard." After walking for a while, Hong Aya suddenly spoke: "This is also what I heard from an official in the underworld, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”
As soon as I heard that she was going to say this, I quickly nodded: "Say it quickly." ”
"This has to start from ancient times. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a man named Liu Ran, who practiced martial arts since he was a child, and had a good martial arts at a young age. ”
"Liu Ran is reckless by nature, and in just two years of fighting on the battlefield, he was canonized by the emperor as a protector general, but Liu Ran had no intention of being an official at all, he just wanted to rush to the forefront of the army, how could he not dare to resist the holy decree, so he took it hard, but not long after he became a protector general, an accident appeared without warning."
Speaking of this, Hong Aya suddenly stopped talking and looked at me with a smile.
I was listening to it energetically, and when I saw that she didn't say anything, I hurriedly urged: "Oh, you say it quickly, what happened?" ”
"A python has appeared."
"Python?"
"Yes, one.... A giant python that can turn the palace into dust with a flick of its tail....."
