Chapter 144: City of the Dead (2)
Above the gate is a black plaque with four teeth and claws engraved - the City of the Dead. Above the plaque hangs a skull and two crossed white bones. As soon as the wind blew on the River Styx, the skulls and bones collided together with a crisp click.
There was a huge bare tree on the left and right of the city gate, the tree on the left was dark black, and the tree on the right was white, and she suddenly thought of the black and white impermanence in the legends of gods and ghosts in her previous life!
The branches of the two trees snaked and stretched into the gray night sky, like countless skeletal hands pointing to the sky.
The city walls were covered with dead gray ghost vines, and the ghosts were flickering with light like fireflies, and they looked like a ghostly desolation.
"This is the City of the Dead."
Li Yanshu pointed to the huge black city and said.
"This ...... Some horror ......"
"I thought you weren't afraid of heaven and earth."
Yun Huang touched his nose and rolled his eyes secretly.
If you are not afraid of heaven and earth, you must have capital, there is a good word, art is high and bold. Now that she is a waste of firewood, her ability to look at the world in her previous life has almost disappeared, and there is nothing to be ashamed of being cowardly.
The two walked side by side towards the city gate, and the closer they got to the city gate, the heavier the cold aura became. Every now and then, I could see clumps of shadows floating around, as if the wind was blowing.
Looking inside the city of the underworld outside the city gate, you can only see a black patch, and the whole city of the underworld looks like a monster with a hole in its mouth.
When passing through the city gate and entering the city of the underworld, there was a momentary feeling of suffocation, like walking and suddenly passing through a film of water.
After the suffocation disappeared, the two were already in the city. The street in front of me looks like an ink painting that is ripping open, and the pavilions on both sides of the street are lined up one after another in the dark, and the red lights are stringed on the pavilions. The snow-white moves that unfolded against the wind fluttered and flew. At the same time as the street pavilions, there are also noisy human voices.
The sound of scolding, soliciting customers, and the sound of bells are mixed together, but there is no half of a figure in sight.
The streets and pavilions spread out into the city, reaching into the darkness as far as the eye could see.
Yun Huang was stunned, and didn't take a step for a long time.
She thought that this kind of gloomy place should be as dilapidated and gloomy as a ghost movie, with a corrupt and cold atmosphere wafting everywhere, and the streets were full of wandering ghosts with nowhere to go.
But this is another world that can be compared to the bustling market in the world!
"Can people?" Yun Huang looked around suspiciously, and indeed only the voice could not see half of the figure, "I could still see a vague shadow when I was at the city gate just now, why can't I see anything as soon as I come in." ”
"Because the city of the dead is a world of ghosts, what you see is the world of the dead that lingers in the city of the dead and refuses to be reincarnated. If you take a closer look, you will find that although at first glance it looks like a bustling market, it is actually full of memory breaks. ”
"You mean, these pavilions are fake?!"
"Fake." Li Yanshu nodded affirmatively, "After midnight, those ghosts who hold up this illusory shadow with their memories will appear in the bustling market in front of them, and they will show the most nostalgic and unforgettable moments of their lives." ”
Yun Huang looked at the realistic scene in front of him in surprise and sighed, "I didn't expect it to be an illusion." ”
"It's not a fantasy, at least as soon as midnight comes, everything will be real for those ghosts."
Yun Huang didn't comment on this, and only asked, "Then how can we see the true face of the City of the Dead?" ”
"After midnight, when the ghosts that created this lively market come out to relive their unforgettable memories, it is enough to find their memory fractures."
Li Yanshu was saying when he suddenly changed his words, "Look, midnight has arrived." ”
