Chapter 179: The Road is Broken
In this way, I kept pushing away the rotting corpses in front of me one after another, and from time to time pieces of flesh fell off their bodies, bringing up a trace of flesh fibers.
I was afraid that these things would float into my nose, so I had to swim around the minced meat.
I don't know how many rotting corpses I opened, and finally saw Liu Kaixuan in front of me, but he is now completely unconscious, his eyes are closed, his mouth is still wide open, and from time to time a small piece of minced meat floats into his mouth, which makes me feel sick.
I swam forward, reached out and grabbed his arm, and after making sure again, I pulled him upstream.
"Gollum!" Liu Kaixuan, who was originally held by me, suddenly spit out a blister, and I lowered my head in confusion, but it just happened to meet his gray eyes!
"Not good!"
I only had time to shout these two words in my heart, and then his arm, which was originally held by me, twisted, instantly buckled on my arm, and then pulled me to swim into the water!
I tried to break free of his hand, but I found that his strength was amazing, and my arm felt like it was about to be cut off, and I couldn't use the slightest strength!
Moreover, Liu Kaixuan swam extremely fast, and after only a few swings, he pulled me to the bottom of the water.
I saw that the bottom of the water was full of white bones, and the number was amazing, I don't know how many people have drowned in this yellow spring!
It stands to reason that I am a soul, and I should not need to breathe, but at this moment I only feel as if my lungs are about to burst, and it hurts fiercely.
"Gollum"
I couldn't hold back, I instinctively opened my mouth and exhaled a breath, and then I was choked with a big mouthful of water, Liu Kaixuan just looked at me expressionlessly, and those gray eyes were full of banter.
I choked on sip after mouthful, my eyes blurred for some reason, and eventually, even my consciousness gradually blurred, and the last thought that flashed through my mind was that I really seemed to be going to die in the underworld
It's also ridiculous that other people's souls come to the underworld after they die, and I actually want to die in the underworld.
The pain in my lungs reached a peak, and I felt as if I heard it explode, and my consciousness completely dissipated at the last moment.
"Shen Huai Shen Huai"
In my ears, an unknown whisper, although my name was called, I didn't know where it came from, and I was so tired that I didn't even want to move my fingers.
"Wake up"
Awake? Why wake up? Besides, am I awake now? It's just too lazy to open your eyes.
"It's going to be a delay! Wake up! ”
The voice was very noisy, even a little familiar, I thought very slowly in my mind, I don't know how long it was, it seemed like a year, it seemed like a minute, and I finally remembered the origin of this voice.
It's Liu Kaixuan.
But isn't he dead? And he dragged me to death, why did he wake me up now?
I was tired and a little too lazy to think.
"Shen Huai, wake up!"
"Childe, Childe wake up, Red Aya is still waiting for you to save it"
That's right, Red Aya is still waiting for me to get the herbs back
But I'm already dead, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a tingling in my heart, as if I was stabbing it with something sharp.
My brows furrowed unconsciously, and my eyes opened subconsciously.
In front of them, there were Zhang Kai and Liu Kaixuan, their faces full of anxiety. Seeing me wake up, Liu Kaixuan grinned: "I'm scared to death, I thought something happened to you!" ”
They helped me to sit up, and I found myself still sitting on the raft, and the old man sat there motionless as if he had never left, holding the rod without even the slightest change.
"What's going on?" I let out a sigh and asked.
"It's that kid who has to stare at the surface of the water and trigger the magic circle of the Yellow Springs, that's why you fall into the illusion." The old man suddenly responded to me and said, "It's good that you have a big life, otherwise you would really be here." ”
"Illusion?" I was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pinched my thigh, it really hurt.
"But how could it be an illusion that was so real just now?"
As if to guess what I was thinking, the old man continued: "However, although you were in a fantasy just now, the scene you saw was real. ”
"However, aren't all those who come to the underworld already souls, why do they still die?" I asked, a little puzzled.
"Huangquan, it's different from other places." The old man said slowly: "Every few years, the Yellow Spring will appear in the yang world once, at this time, as long as the people around the Yellow Spring, will be attracted by it, and then in various postures, into the river, and finally drown, if you don't collect enough people's souls, the Yellow Spring will not disappear." ”
This thing will appear in the yang world?!
"Then the water I just drank"
"Fake." The old man replied indifferently.
Hearing him say that it was fake, I was relieved, otherwise, it is estimated that even if I return to the yang world, I will have to go on a hunger strike for a long time to recover!
"Shen Tianshi" Zhang Kai called me behind me, I turned my head, saw his face full of guilt, and said to me: "I'm sorry It's all my fault, that's why I hurt you"
"It's fine." I waved my hand: "You are also the first time to go to the yin, and it is normal to be curious, but you don't do this again, otherwise we will be killed by you sooner or later"
"Okay," he nodded hurriedly.
The raft continued to move forward, and there was no other shore in sight.
The old man suddenly spoke:
"Don't think I don't know." The old man suddenly spoke: "You are yang souls, not people who have just died at all."
My heart jumped, but on the surface I was silent, and I asked him, "Oh? Why did the old man say that? ”
"You're missing something." The old man said: "You can't learn the demeanor of a person who has just died." ”
"Look?"
"I've been on the Yellow Springs for 1,500 years, what kind of ghost haven't I seen? But the people who have just died, basically they are all down-and-out, no one wants to believe that they are dead, even if they have walked the road of death, their hearts will still be extremely depressed, they are worried, worried about their relatives in the yang world, and their demeanor is something you can't learn. ”
I pursed my lips and didn't speak, mostly not knowing what to say.
"I think, you should be here for the chaos in the underworld" After a while, he popped out again: "About Cui Yu." ”
Gritting my teeth, I nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Hehe, the fate of the underworld will be left to you"
As he spoke, a wave of ripples suddenly rippled on the surface of the water, and a palm-sized fish jumped up from the water, and then landed impartially in the fish basket in front of the old man.
"Hahaha! Look, isn't this fish coming?"
