Chapter 40: The Ghost Messenger
After a stick of incense, He Chong and the three turned around.
"Your Highness, after searching for a long time, I found a small shop in a remote alley. Somewhat dilapidated but uninhabited. It's better to rest for a while in the past, and then look for it with your subordinates. ”
"Let's take a look."
He Chong led the way and walked a few streets, turned into a secluded alley, and sure enough, there was a small shop.
The doors and windows were very dilapidated, and there was a broken old curtain on the pole on the door, which was floating in the cold wind, crumbling, and barely recognizable with the word "face" written on it.
A rusty lock on the door, which seems to have been deserted and uninhabited for many years, has not been taken care of at this time, only as a temporary resting place.
He Chong slashed with his knife and slashed down the latch of the door.
Walking in, it was really dilapidated, no one had been here for a long time, and there were some tables and chairs, although they were full of dust, they were barely usable. There was only one room in the shop, and beyond that was a small kitchen in tatters.
Walking into the kitchen, Zhao Ting saw a small door on the wall. When I opened it and looked out, it was a more remote alley. On one side of the alley is a red high wall, which is built very tall, stretching out and not visible, and is the courtyard wall of a large family.
Zhao Ting walked back to the house, and his subordinates had already cleaned up the tables and chairs, wiped them clean, and took out dry food and water and put them on the table.
"Your Highness, the door is too narrow, and the subordinates have tied their horses to the street, and the brothers will take turns guarding them for a while."
"Okay, I'm tired. Eat some dry food and go for it! Zhao Ting said and picked up a piece of cake and was about to put it in his mouth.
"Ahh
He Chong and the two guards stood up vigilantly.
Zhao Ting listened carefully, and no more voices came, this city was full of strangeness, and it was destined that it would not be peaceful tonight, so he could only wait and see what happened.
"Do you want to check it out?" He Chong and the three of them looked a little nervous, since they entered this city, they felt an invisible oppression, and they had an ominous premonition.
Zhao Ting's face did not change, and he sat upright and continued to eat and drink. The artist is bold, not to mention that the hardships and obstacles he has encountered have never been interrupted since he was a child, although he is the youngest, he is also the most calm and calm.
"Eat! Be nosy! Don't move if there's any movement for a while. Watch and see what happens! He said.
"Yes!" As they spoke, the three of them sat down and began to eat.
"Boom.......boom......" Suddenly there were several strange noises in the distance, which seemed to be the sound of a gong.
There seems to be some messy sounds, but it's too far away to hear it.
The sound of the gong rang at intervals every few times, intermittently, as if from the east of the city to the north of the city, and from the north of the city to the west of the city, and it has been ringing for more than two hours.
Finally, the voice became clearer and clearer, as if it was coming from the west of the city to the south of the city.
Zhao Ting and the others are located in the south of the city.
Every once in a while, the gong was heard getting closer and closer.
"Close the doors and windows, and the candles are extinguished. Whatever you see, you must not act without the king's command! Zhao Ting ordered calmly.
"Yes!" The two guards sneaked under the window to stand guard, and He Chong stood guard at the door.
The bolt of the door was cut by He Chong just now, revealing a fist-sized hole, and the window paper on the window was also full of holes.
Zhao Ting sat at the table and waited quietly.
"Boom...... "Bang ......" and two gongs, this time clear and loud, as if they had reached the mouth of the alley.
The horses were tied to the alley, and He Chong was wondering if someone would steal their horses.
After all, all four horses are good horses.
Suddenly, I heard the horses neighing incessantly, one after another, as if they were frightened, and they wanted to run away but couldn't run and neighed desperately.
In the silence of the night, the sound came far away, and it was terrifying.
He Chong looked at Zhao Ting, and was just about to ask if he needed to go out to check. The last roar of the horses was heard, and the sound gradually became quieter, and it became a rough panting, and finally there was no sound.
Zhao Ting's brows furrowed.
A strong smell of blood wafted into the alley, and the dilapidated hut was filled with a disgusting stench.
He Chong and the two guards were a little impatient and wanted to rush out to have a look, but they didn't dare to move without Zhao Ting's instructions.
Zhao Ting's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he sat motionless.
Suddenly......
A trembling voice seemed to float in and out.
"Emperor Beiyin of the capital of Xudu, Kuang Zheng three five, Yu beheaded six days, appointed to heaven, salty control of all souls. The ghost ghost came to kowtow, and the chase was finally rewarded, and he was imprisoned under the evil barrier. ”
…….
The voice was fluttering, but the words were clear to everyone's ears.
Zhao Ting listened carefully, and suddenly the light in his eyes flashed, his sharp eyes stared at the broken door, and his palms began to move his internal force, ready to strike out with one palm at any time.
The other three people were terrified when they heard it, He Chong looked out from the hole in the door, it didn't matter what he saw, with how well-informed he was, he was so frightened that he almost screamed.
I saw a few skeletons floating in the narrow alley outside, each skeleton was surrounded by a dark green light, a burst of white and a burst of green, as if there was nothing, floating in the air.
What's even more terrifying is that these skeletons have no flesh on their faces, but there are still eyeballs in their eye sockets, dripping and turning, still with flesh and blood, bright red, and blood flowing out of the corners of their eyes.
Two rows of white Sensen's teeth were exposed in the mouth, and there were no lips, but a long blood-red tongue was spit out, hanging softly, and as the skeleton fluttered in the air, the tongue also swung and curled.
He Chong only felt a wave of nausea and shivering, and his legs were a little weak.
The two guards also looked out of the broken paper hole in the window, and when they saw all this, they were stunned.
The skeleton floated by, followed by a group of strange figures.
He Chong looked closely, and it turned out to be a group of monsters who didn't know whether they were humans or ghosts, all of them were hideous and terrifying, strange shapes, and they didn't dare to look at them directly.
Four hideous-looking red imps carried a huge gong and struck twice after walking for a while.
At the end was followed by a bull's head, a horse's face, and two ghost messengers.
The horse-faced envoy read gloomily as he walked: "Emperor Beiyin of the capital of Xudu, Kuang Zheng three five, Yu beheaded six days, appointed to heaven, salty control of all souls." The ghost ghost came to kowtow, and the chase was finally rewarded, and he was imprisoned under the evil barrier. ”
The Minotaur Ghost-faced Messenger pulled a large iron chain, and a row of white shadows were tied to the chain. Piao Yu has no feet, and he can't see whether it's a ghost or a ghost.
A gust of wind blew, accompanied by a fishy smell.
In this silent and dark night, all this sudden appearance is so strange and terrifying.
It's like suddenly arriving in the legendary eighteen-layer hell, in the Yama Temple.
The three people behind the doors and windows were shocked by everything in front of them in the narrow alley, and their hair was upside down.
He Chong took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to approach the entrance of the cave to see if it was more real.
Suddenly, a pair of big white eyes floated outside the cave, looking straight into the house from the outside of the cave.
He was taken aback, and the three souls and nine spirits seemed to float into the air, and his mouth opened wide, just about to exclaim......
I only felt a pain in my back, so I couldn't make a sound anymore, and I couldn't stand up with my whole body, so I sat on the ground with my buttocks.
Zhao Ting stood behind him and looked at the three subordinates lying on the ground, just now he clicked on the acupoints of the three people in time, otherwise these three people would have screamed if they were not scared.
The big white eyes outside the doorway stared miserably into the house.
The room was dark, and his eyes rolled up and down the entrance of the cave a few times, as if he hadn't seen anyone inside for a while.
Zhao Ting stared at it coldly, pulled out the golden soft sword in his waist, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to stab it.
I heard a very slight voice behind me say, "Don't move! ”
Zhao Ting was really taken aback this time, he was only paying attention to the door with bated breath just now, but he didn't know when someone came behind him. This was a big surprise. With a twist, the golden sword stabbed backwards.
