Chapter 42: The Yin and Yang Realm
"Finally escaped......"
Zhou Hexuan ran all the way for ten minutes, and did not stop until he could no longer hear the slightest sound behind him, and when he turned around, he was relieved to see that there was nothing behind him.
Just when Zhou Hexuan just wanted to see what kind of place this was, he suddenly felt a pain in the palm of his left hand.
"Ah......h
Zhou Hexuan raised his hand and looked at his palm, it was pitch black here, fortunately, Zhou Hexuan's eyes were different from before, although it could not be said that seeing things in the dark was the same as during the day, but the words on his hand could still be recognized.
"The Secret of a Deserted Village"
"The secret of the deserted village? Deserted Village......."
Zhou Hexuan raised his head and looked around for a while, the surroundings were pitch black, there was no sun, moon and stars on his head, he couldn't see the mud, dust, flowers and plants when he looked down, everything seemed to exist in a strange space, but Zhou Hexuan could feel the feeling of being down-to-earth from the soles of his feet.
"I can't see the two ghosts here, where did the deserted village come from......."
Although Zhou Hexuan muttered, since the task is displayed, it means that there must be a deserted village here, and the old monk on the train just now mentioned to him that there are living people here, if he wants to leave from the Yin and Yang Realm, he still needs to find those living people, it can be said that Zhou Hexuan just doesn't want to find that deserted village now, so he also needs to find a village with people......
Zhou Hexuan looked around, he ran down from the train just now and ran away, but he didn't feel too scared, but now that he stopped, Zhou Hexuan suddenly felt that he was panicking how to look here.......
Fortunately, now his eyes can see at night, otherwise in this place where there is not even moonlight, maybe Zhou Hexuan would not even dare to move......
"Let's take one step at a time......"
Zhou Hexuan didn't think about it anymore, reached out and touched the stone carving hanging around his neck, remembering the 10,000-character mantra left by the old monk on his head just now, and his heart settled down a little.
In the Yin and Yang Realm, it is like a confined space without a light source, Zhou Hexuan has been walking in the dark for a long time, he thinks that there is at least half a day, but he has not seen anything, let alone any village, not even the ghosts that should be seen everywhere in the Yin and Yang Realm.......
The only thing that made Zhou Hexuan feel strange was that he had been here for so long, and he didn't feel hungry or thirsty, as if he was really a ghost now, and he wouldn't be hungry or thirsty at all.
"Am I going in the wrong direction......
Zhou Hexuan walked for a while, and began to doubt the direction he was going in his mind, if he went in the wrong direction, it would be a matter of time to go all the way.
Just when Zhou Hexuan was thinking about whether to go back the same way, there was a sudden movement in his ears.
"Hey~hey~"
"Huh? The voice ....."
Zhou Hexuan's expression moved, and he immediately began to look for the direction from which the voice came.
Just as Zhou Hexuan was looking for the source of the voice, the voice was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that the voice was approaching him.
It didn't take a moment for the thing that came out of the sound to fall into Zhou Hexuan's eyes, and indeed a group of "people" carried a clay statue.
Zhou Hexuan didn't rush over, a group of people carrying clay statues suddenly appeared in the wilderness here, either these people were strange, or they were ...... It's that clay statue.......
But this Zhou Hexuan didn't want to go up to provoke, but the group of people carrying clay statues seemed to be eyeing Zhou Hexuan, and they walked towards Zhou Hexuan one by one with the clay statues "hey, hey".
"Fairy aisle, lonely soul avoids ......"
Just when Zhou Hexuan wondered what this group of "people" was doing, the group of people suddenly shouted.
Obviously, the "lonely soul" in their mouths refers to Zhou Hexuan who stopped in front of them.
"Immortals? Could it be that they are carrying the true body of the immortal god along the way? ”
No wonder Zhou Hexuan has such doubts, after all, only the real body statues of the gods will be invited back, and it is said that these statues are the incarnations of those immortals in the mortal world, just like the real body of the Buddha in those Buddhist temples.
Zhou Hexuan was suspicious in his heart, and his eyes naturally involuntarily stared at the clay statue that was being carried, the clay statue looked very rough, and it didn't seem like he had been served in the temple, and the appearance of the clay statue Zhou Hexuan really didn't see which way this was a god.
Just when Zhou Hexuan was thinking about it, the group of people had already come to Zhou Hexuan.
"Huh...... It's not a lonely ghost......."
One of the people in the group seemed to recognize Zhou Hexuan's identity, not the lonely ghost who wandered in the yin and yang realm, and there was a hint of surprise in his tone.
"You ....... Is it a human or a ghost? ”
Zhou Hexuan looked at this group of people, and muttered a little in his heart, feeling that no matter whether the other party was a human or a ghost, he could not deal with it by himself.
The four people carrying the sedan chair laughed when they heard Zhou Hexuan's words.
"Little brother, do you know that this is the Yin and Yang Realm, not a place where the living come from, why did you break into here.......
Zhou Hexuan heard the other party say this, and his heart finally relaxed, the other party would say this, which means that they should not be ghosts.
"I also came to this place without knowing it, and I can't see anything in the darkness around me, and I haven't seen anyone in the long time since I walked here......
"Hahaha...... Of course, there can't be people in the yin and yang realm......."
Another big man also laughed when he heard Zhou Hexuan's words.
"Yin and Yang Realm? What is the Yin and Yang Realm? Aren't the big brothers just living people? Zhou Hexuan didn't want these people to know how he got in, maybe they had some taboos about that train, and when the time came, it would be better to pretend to be stupid, these people thought he was indiscriminately and sent him out.
When those people heard Zhou Hexuan's words, they glanced at each other, and they didn't give Zhou Hexuan an answer, but said: "Since you are a living person, then follow us, fortunately, you happen to appear in our area, here is our grandmother to protect, there are no powerful ghosts around, if you fall far away, maybe you will become a mess of bones by this time......"
The big man's words shocked Zhou Hexuan's heart, and then he looked up at the clay statue carried by several big men, it seems that this clay statue should be the grandmother in their mouth......
Those few people didn't talk nonsense, and continued to walk forward with the clay statue, even if Zhou Hexuan stayed here at this time, his eyes were black and there was nowhere to go, so he could only follow a few people and go back with them.......
These people swayed again and again, and Zhou Hexuan didn't know how long it took to finally see the bright place.
When he got closer, Zhou Hexuan found that this was indeed a village, and it was a very ancient kind, and the lights he saw were not normal firelight, and the lanterns hanging in front of the door were indeed green colors, which made Zhou Hexuan's heart panic.
"Hey~hey~"
Those people didn't take into account Zhou Hexuan's thoughts, and continued to carry the clay statue into the village and walk through the middle of the village.
Zhou Hexuan followed into the village, but there was no one to see left and right, as if this was a lifeless uninhabited village, or... Huang......
Such a thought instantly appeared in Zhou Hexuan's heart.
"Few... Big brothers, where are we going? Why isn't there anyone here? ”
Zhou Hexuan swallowed and spat and cautiously asked the people in front of him, but this time those people didn't seem to be as enthusiastic as before, and they didn't even reply to his inquiry, and still walked forward by themselves......
Zhou Hexuan saw that several people didn't react to his words, thought about it, slowed down a little, walked to the front of a room with the door ajar next to him, and pushed the door.
The inside and outside of the room were pitch black, and it didn't seem to be difficult, but the most eye-catching thing in the room was something that Zhou Hexuan didn't expect.......
When Zhou Hexuan's eyes fell on the house, he unexpectedly saw a coffin being erected in the room, no, not just a coffin......
Zhou Hexuan himself was startled when he saw it for the first time, and when he suddenly saw this kind of thing in such an environment, everyone would be frightened.
But except for the two coffins, everything in the room is no different from ordinary people, and it looks very sparse and ordinary.
Zhou Hexuan thought about it, and pushed open the doors of several houses one after another, there seems to be no habit of closing the door here, none of them are closed with locks, to Zhou Hexuan's surprise, there are more or less coffins in every house here, some large and some small, but there is nothing unusual, Zhou Hexuan originally wanted to go into the house and push open the coffins to see if these coffins were really containing corpses, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't muster up the courage......
Just when Zhou Hexuan was inspecting the houses in the village, those people had already walked through half of the village carrying the clay statues, and at this time those people were the only "living people" Zhou Hexuan had seen.......
Those few people didn't seem to care about Zhou Hexuan's behavior just now, and no one turned around to say anything to him, and they didn't even care about Zhou Hexuan's departure, they still carried the mud statue towards the end of the village step by step, Zhou Hexuan followed these people until they walked for half an hour before they reached the end of the village.
At this time, Zhou Hexuan finally saw the others and went to ...... At first sight, it was still a group, and now he finally knew where the people in this village had gone.......
"Ask the statue of Grandma to come to the altar ......."
Just when the big men walked over carrying the clay statues, the crowd naturally separated a way, and let those people carry the clay statues to the front, and the front happened to be a high platform, and there was an old man over half a hundred standing in front of the high platform, and the old man shouted just now.
The big men did not hesitate, carried the clay statue step by step down the steps to the top, and when they reached the top, they put the clay statue down, took the shelf, and the clay statue was placed on the high platform fairly.
When the four big men got off the high platform, the old man raised his head and shouted again.
