Volume 2 The Gates of Hell Chapter 31 A Chance Encounter with a Fellow Practitioner

I took a look, frowned and hurried to stop them, this place is too weird! If you count according to the current hour, it should be night at this time, but the sky in front of you is gray, saying that black is not black, saying white is not white, there is a kind of indescribable obscurity!

What's more important is that this realm is located on the Tibetan plateau, let's not talk about whether it is cold or not, but it does not have a trace of air flow fluctuations, not even the slightest bit! It's exactly like a ghost town where time has been blocked!

To be honest, maybe I'm too sensitive, Langcuo's accident scared me, I really don't dare to have the slightest paralysis and carelessness, and I take it lightly! In case of a mistake in decision, it is not time, it is fate!

I squatted down, twisted a handful of stale ashes accumulated on the ground, put it on my nose and sniffed it carefully, but fortunately, there was no smell of corpse gas, and there was no fragrance of flowers on the other side of the ecstasy.

It is estimated that it may have not been exposed to the sun for a long time, and the mildew on it is very heavy! I stood up again and looked at the ancient city in the distance, and the adobe, bricks and tiles were there, very real, not like a mirage from a reflection.

I sat here for a long time, and I didn't see any flaws! A few students behind him, you said a word to me, and they were very impatient, and they gave Professor Yan the wind in their ears.

Being tinkered with by them, Professor Yan couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked up to me and asked, "Virtuous nephew, I've been seeing you for a long time, but have you seen any doorways?" ”

I shook my head and replied to him with a frown: "Not yet, but I always feel that this realm is strange, not like some blessed land!" ”

Professor Yan giggled when he heard me, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, it's not a solution!" In this ancient city in front of you, whether it is a ghost or a bodhisattva, you have to wait until you have worshipped to know! If not, is there any other path for the virtuous nephew to take? ”

When I think about it, they all say that all roads lead to Rome, but that's to Rome! At the moment, we only have one way, and there is really no good choice but to enter the ancient city. So I gritted my teeth and said to everyone: "Go, no matter what is in front of him, it is the Hades Palace, we have to go to meet the little ghosts first, and then talk about seeing the Hades!" ”

When a few students heard me say this, they were very excited, humming a little song and singing a song and went down the rammed earth steps, and along the way did not forget their own business, and studied the carvings on the floor and the four square tripods.

When we arrived at the ancient city, the city gate was wide open, and there was no gate official guarding the gate next to it, and the whole ancient city street seemed deserted, and no one set up a stall, let alone half an animal walking!

On the street, when I stepped down, I could see that there was a half-foot thick pile of dust. And on the beams, windows and doors, there are cobwebs all over the place, and the ashes are heavy. It seems that no one has come to this ancient street for a long, long time, and the strange atmosphere has suddenly risen to its peak!

At this moment, a few students who were still excited immediately became nervous again. Tang Bao probed his brain, crossed Professor Yan, came to me, and asked me in a low voice: "Teacher Erdou, I look at this place, why are you so panicked, can't it really be a ghost town!" ”

The corners of my mouth curled, and I asked him with a sneer, "What?" Scared? Didn't you just shout the most joyful? ”

Tang Bao glanced at me and felt a little unbearable on his face. He straightened his chest and cocked his head, and pouted. looked around, glared at me and replied: "Look at Teacher Erdou, in broad daylight, can I be afraid?" Joke, I'm just curious! ”

"Really? Okay, you go inside first and take a look for us, if it's really nothing, you send a signal, we're going in! ”

As soon as Tang Bao heard what I said, he was stunned at that time. The straight and straight big breasts wilted down in an instant, and he said to me with a hippie smile: "Hehe, don't Erdou teacher, with your master in front of me, which green onion am I!" Besides, I want to be a green onion, but others won't dip me in sauce! Hey hey ......"

Let this kid tease, and the tension around us can be regarded as easing a lot. The tense nerves were also cushioned. I patted Tang Bao on the head and hugged him into the ancient city.

The architectural style of this ancient city is unique. Behind the main gate, an extremely wide street stretches out against a rather majestic royal palace.

At the four feet of the royal palace stood four temples. Around the temple and the royal palace, about a kilometer long, there are dense rows of humble houses where the homeless people live.

I casually walked to the door of a house down the street and raised my hand to push! The two wooden doors, like sawdust stacked together, instantly scattered in front of me.

The thick ash on the wooden door, together with the debris of the rotten door, kicked up more than half a meter of dust as soon as it hit the ground!

Zhu Yingyu took a look, and thought that the door beam had collapsed, so he shouted closely behind: "Second master, be careful, Liang ...... The beam collapsed! ”。

He shouted and dragged me out to block me, staring at the house in front of him in horror, for fear that if I close my eyes, I would miss the magnificent view of the whole house collapsing!

I sneezed twice, pulled him to the side, rubbed my nose and said, "It's okay, this house is a rammed earth pile, and it can't collapse after boiling him for hundreds of years!" ”

With that, I crossed Zhu Yingyu and walked into the house with my feet up. The few in the back were still a little uneasy, and they tiptoed after me, and timidly entered the house.

There was no one in the house, and the furnishings were very simple, and against the east wall, there was a wooden bed with straw mats. In the middle of the room there were several broken wooden chairs, and around a simple wooden table, which was placed in an extremely neat place.

Judging from the display of the items in front of me, there should not have been any devastating changes here, and I think the owner of the house must have gone out and not come back for some reason.

To say that this inference is reasonable. But there is one thing that still makes me puzzled, that is, why the stone bowl oil lamp on the wooden table is still on, and it burns extremely vigorously, and what is even more incredible is that the animal fat lamp oil in it has not decreased at all after so many years!

We moved around several rooms in a row, and the situation was almost the same, no difference! This makes me wonder even more, how can it be such a coincidence, could it be that everyone here will evaporate from the world as soon as they leave the house?

Even if this is the case, these people will disappear for more than a few hundred years, otherwise the door will not decay to the point of shattering at the touch of a button, but how can this lamp be explained!

I frowned and looked at Professor Yan, among our bunch of people, he had lived the longest and was the most knowledgeable! It is said that he will see you for a long time, and he will see you for a long time, maybe he can say something.

But Professor Yan was also drooping his head at this moment, staring at me with a question mark on his head!

Hey, hey, it looks like it's better to close your eyes and touch forward! Take a look at the most imposing palace first, and you may find some useful information inside.

Thinking about it, I led everyone in the direction of the palace. But when we were halfway there, we suddenly saw a house in front of us, the doors and windows were open, and there was a young man and an old man sitting at the table inside, toasting and drinking!

I was subconsciously stunned, and I raised my leg to go over to see what was going on. Professor Yan grabbed me from behind and whispered to me: "Don't worry, the two of them are dressed in ancient clothes, and there are professional objects on the side. ”

What, fellow travelers? Are you kidding! There are two people sitting inside, and they can see that they are not from the same dynasty as us! Let's not talk about whether they can embarrass me, just seeing my appearance is estimated to be enough for them to drink a pot.

I ignored Professor Yan and walked straight over. Seeing that I insisted on going, Geng whispered and hurriedly stopped in front of me and said, "Teacher Erdou, I know that you are a materialist, maybe I shouldn't say this, but I just want to remind you that Professor Yan is right, this ancient city is already a lot of weirdness, maybe what we see may be the deceased owner of the house, come back and think about the old!" Teacher Erdou, more is better than less, my opinion, let's not provoke this as well! ”

"Huh? Yellow-haired girl, you know a fart! If you study archaeology, you must have an old-fashioned and more serious character, or how can you go down to the tomb and enter the Xuanzun Hall in the future! At a young age, how can there be some thoughts of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in your head, you should respect history and recognize reality, understand! ”

"Teacher Erdou!"

"Get out of the way!"

When I came down these few throats, Geng whispered and cried out by my scolding! As soon as she gave way, Zhu Yingyu, who had no eyesight, was poked by Professor Yan, and came up with a bowed head, with a mouth: "Alas, what is the second master......"

"Get out!"

"Eh......"

Zhu Yingyu didn't wait to speak, he actually asked me to scold him back, and as soon as he gave way, I looked back at a few people behind me, and said in my heart What's wrong with this is, a huge ancient city, I finally found such two gasping ones, don't ask to understand, just rely on our own way, the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse can go back!

Thinking about it, I shook my head, let out a long sigh, turned around and went inside. Waiting for this one to get in scared me. There were not only two people in this room, but there were also cats under the window, munching on dry food.

When these four saw me enter the house, they ignored me, and they did whatever they should do! I walked to the table and hugged my fist and said, "Two, junior Zhao Erdou, I am a little thirsty when I pass by here, I don't know if my seniors can enjoy a bowl of water to drink!" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the old man by the door looked at me for a moment, and replied slowly: "Young man, don't be so polite, although there is a view on both sides of the river and spring water, those who may come here must be capable people in the Qiumen, and they are the top of the industry." Come...... Sit! ”

"Eh, those two Yuanliang, I'm not welcome!"

I listened to the reply, and made it to the chair next to the table. After the old man's clichΓ© just now, hey, I really had to give Professor Yan a thumbs up, let him speak!

No wonder Professor Yan is so worried, this inverted peer encounter, as if facing a great enemy, two words discordant, will draw a knife against each other!

Dare to ask the world who does not die for money, and which bird does not die for food! What's more, there are all patrons in front of the agency town begging for a living, licking the tip of the knife and fighting for territory.

When the old man saw that I was sitting down and didn't speak, his expression was still very cautious, he drank the turbid wine in the bowl in one gulp, wiped his mouth and asked me: "Little brother, seeing that you are in a hurry, I don't know where this behavior came from!" ”

As soon as I heard it, I broke out in a cold sweat, and my heart was broken, this old thing is going to get straight to the point! Thinking about it, I looked at the other three in front of me again, and now their faces were no better than mine, and they all tucked their hands into the waistband of their trousers. Looking at this posture, it is estimated that the time to speak is about to start!
