Chapter 21: The Ghost Gate
Zhang Yao said again, "One life, two fortunes and three feng shui, it is not so simple to replace life, if the old blind man is really killed by your grandfather, he will definitely have to lay out the formation when no one is around." ”
I looked at Zhang Yao with some surprise, feeling that she also knew a lot about mysterious things, and asked curiously, "Why do you know this?" ”
Zhang Yao said softly, "My father and aunt have told me something about this, and when you are not in the house, I have also read the book on your grandfather's desk." ”
Although I don't believe that grandpa would do this kind of thing, and I don't understand what Zhang Yao said about his life, but grandpa running out alone is really suspicious, usually grandpa has to take me with him, after all, I am a child, grandpa will keep an eye on me at any time, lest anything happen to me at home.
Thinking about it this way, grandpa is really too weird.
I took Zhang Yao out quickly, our house was not far from the old blind man's house, I took a flashlight on the ground, Zhang Yao walked slowly, because the potholes on the ground are not easy to walk, I thought about her after all, she is my daughter-in-law, if I don't walk well, the man has to be responsible, so he stretched out his hand to hold her.
Zhang Yao subconsciously hid back and looked at me with extreme fear, "What are you doing?" ”
I was stunned, "I'm holding you, the road is not easy to walk, I'm afraid you will fall." ”
Zhang Yao's face flushed, she lowered her head extremely shyly, and looked at my outstretched hand resignedly, hesitating for a long time, just like an injured kitten who couldn't believe that humans were feeding.
I wondered in my heart, wasn't it just holding hands, and I wasn't a bad person, so I muttered with some emotion, "You're a ghost, I'm not afraid of you, why are you still afraid of me?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yao also felt awkward, and after grinding for two minutes, she suddenly squatted down and picked up the small branch on the ground and handed it to me, "Let's hold it like this." ”
I was very surprised, it was my daughter-in-law, and she didn't take me with me, thinking that she disliked me, and asked very sadly, "Do you hate me?" ”
Zhang Yao was also stunned, immediately shook his head, blushed and said, "I...... I haven't held hands with a man, I'm afraid...... Let's hold it like this first, okay? ”
Although I did not understand, I respected her, reached out and held the other end of the twig, and continued in the direction of the old blind man's house.
After walking for about ten minutes, the old blind man's house did not arrive for half a day, which made me anxious, usually I can find the way with my eyes closed, but I have not arrived after walking for half a day.
Originally, there were not a few steps on the way to the old blind man's house, and it was reasonable to have arrived a long time ago, but I seemed to be still spinning in place after walking for a long time, and I don't know if it was because it was dark and I couldn't see the road clearly, or why.
At this time, Zhang Yao suddenly stopped and said to me softly, "Don't go." ”
I was very helpless and quickly explained, "I really remember the road, I don't know why I can't get out." ”
Zhang Yao's face was a little nervous, and he looked around again, "Don't go, you can't go out." ”
It suddenly occurred to me that my grandfather had told me before that there are three branches of ghosts, that is, ghosts have three tricks: one is to be confused, two are covered, and three are scared.
I used to hear my grandfather say that there was a college student in our village, and on the night he left the village, it was almost dark and he saw a very beautiful girl hurrying away with a rope.
When he saw the college student from afar, he hid under a big tree and fell to the ground with the rope he was holding.
The college student picked up the rope and saw that it was a straw rope, and put it in front of his nose to sniff it, and it was gloomy. The college student understands that the girl he met is a hanged ghost, and this student was taught by my grandfather before, so his grandfather would occasionally tell him something mysterious and mysterious.
The college student took the straw rope in his arms and walked forward on his own. Unexpectedly, the girl came out of the woods and blocked his way, and she blocked on the left and on the right when he went to the left, and on the right to the right.
In fact, it is what the villagers often say, 'ghosts hit the wall'.
Because his grandfather had warned him, he knew in his heart that this was a trick of the ghost, so he didn't pay attention to it at all. The female ghost couldn't help it, so she deliberately turned into a very terrifying appearance and ran to him to scare him.
Grandpa said that the female ghost was nothing more than trying to confuse and tempt him, blocking the way in front of the road, covering and blinding him, and finally turning into a ghost, nothing more than scaring him. The three tricks were all used, and the female ghost had no choice but to leave.
I can't get out now, I must have encountered a ghost with three branches, that is, 'ghost hitting the wall'.
But I thought about it, there is Zhang Yao, a little female ghost next to me, is she manipulating me?
I immediately turned my head to look at Zhang Yao, "Aren't you fixing me?" ”
Zhang Yao's expression was a little flustered, and he quickly explained, "It's not what you think!" ”
Before I could continue to ask, there was a sudden sound of rustling all around, and the black pressure looked terrible, and it was already black, and it was so dark that I couldn't even see the flashlight clearly.
But after a while, a few people suddenly walked not far away, and it was Zhang Yao's father and mother who walked in front, and they were followed by the second envoy who went to my house last time.
I suddenly reacted at that time, and I was so angry that I threw out the branch in my hand directly, and looked at Zhang Yao angrily, "You deliberately didn't let me go to grandpa?" ”
Zhang Yao looked at my fierce appearance, was so frightened that she almost cried, and said to me aggrievedly, "My father and aunt just want you to explain clearly to Lord Chenghuang, they promised me that they will not hurt you, but you beat the soul envoy sent by Lord Chenghuang, if you don't apologize, Lord Chenghuang will let you and your grandfather be punished!" ”
I was angry when I heard this, I originally loved her as my daughter-in-law, but she deceived me, blocked my way to find my grandfather, and found her father and mother to take me away.
Zhang Yao saw that I was angry, and continued to speak, "Your grandfather does have a problem, don't you want to know where the robe on your body came from?" This is the Tianxian Cave Clothes, how can your grandfather take this thing, my father and aunt said, in the past, the head of the Taoist sect had this Tianxian Cave Clothes, but then suddenly there was no news, they all thought that your grandfather was murdered for money, and took this Tianshi robe, your grandfather is definitely not a good person. ”
I wanted to refute, but Zhang Yao's father and mother came to me with the soul hook messenger, and didn't give me a chance to speak, so they put the soul hook chain on me, and when I saw that the iron chain was pulled hard, I actually broke out of my body, and they took me directly to the small hole near the village entrance Tiankan.
As soon as I was pulled in, I felt that it was dark in front of me, and I couldn't see anything, and it took me a few seconds to gradually see the light.
I was stunned, there was a bronze gate several meters high in front of me, and there were countless vicious dogs on top of the door, staring at me fiercely, if I moved, they would pounce on me and eat me.
Zhang Yao looked around in surprise when he saw me, and said to me, "This is the Ghost Gate, and if you go inside, you can go through Huangquan Road to the City God Temple." ”
I don't want to talk to Zhang Yao at all now, she is a traitor in my eyes, a betrayer, and unforgivable, I ignored her at all, and turned my head directly to the other side, and saw that a couplet was written on this bronze gate, "Life and death are helpless." "All evils in the world are not evil".
There were still people dressed in black standing in front of the door, and when they saw us coming here, they saluted one after another, and politely said to Zhang Yao's father, "Master Zhang." ”
I suddenly became suspicious in my heart, it seems that Zhang Yao's family also has a problem, the people in the underworld are familiar with them and respectful, they are definitely not ordinary ghosts, even the soul envoy has to walk behind them, just like the feeling of a little brother.
At that moment, I just wanted my grandfather to come and save me, but I didn't expect that I would be pitted back to the underworld by my daughter-in-law, and my soul was hooked below, where is there a chance to live, I was the land lord before, and grandpa can bring me back.
What I'm about to face now is Lord Chenghuang, and I guess I won't be able to live.
Sure enough, there is a god with his head raised three feet, and if he does something wrong, sooner or later he will be arrested and brought to the underworld to be punished.
The soul messenger pulled me into the ghost gate with the iron chain, and when I walked in, there were countless human heads wandering aimlessly, and it looked very scary, because I had seen some faces, they were the old people in our village, and I also saw my little friend who used to play, who drowned because of playfulness, but I didn't expect to be here.
But they didn't pay attention to me and did their own thing.
All this made me dumbfounded, although I had been to the Land Temple, but it was the first time I really saw the underworld like this.
I was amazed, but when I came back to my senses, I didn't feel anything but fear.
