Chapter 36: The Twin Tree
We weren't willing to go out like that, and we didn't want to go up the steps, it was too physically exhausting, and staying where we were was just wasting time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so we continued to walk down, walking carefully along the way, feeling if something was inadvertently carrying us to it like an elevator. The two geese were tireless, still walking majestically and vigorously.
If you are in a certain position, you will be suddenly carried up by something, you will definitely feel overweight, and halfway through, the second uncle suddenly stopped, and I asked him what was wrong? "That point should be a vague gray area, and it can't be that we don't feel it at all," he said. "When it comes to this gray area, I suddenly feel ghostly, this place is already dark, and what kind of gray area is enough for people to drink two pots.
Zhang Lao's words made my hairs stand on end, and he said: "Could it be that this is the legendary Yin and Yang Realm?" ”
The tall and thin man asked, "Master, what is the Yin and Yang Realm?" ”
Zhang Lao pondered for a while and said, "The Yin and Yang Realm is the passage connecting the Yang and the Netherworld. ”
I asked, "Then how can you tell that we have entered the yin and yang realm?" ”
Zhang Lao said: "People who enter the Yin and Yang Realm will suddenly have no shadow, and the flashlight we just now has been shining in front, but we have not noticed the shadow behind us. This is the time to pay extra attention. ”
As we walked forward, we used a flashlight to shine around from time to time, and under the illumination of the flashlight, the shadows of six people were cast on the wall, and the two geese chirped twice from time to time, disturbing us, so that Zhang Lao took away the rope, tied them around their necks and feet with the rope, and threw them into the bamboo cage. Even if they can't scream, they don't let them suffocate.
As soon as they were placed in the cages, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the sound of each other's footsteps could be heard echoing on the empty stone steps, which was very real. If we hadn't put the two geese away, we wouldn't have noticed how quiet it was.
Just then, I heard a sparse sound behind us, very sharp, as if something was scraping against the wall. My first reaction was, did the metal ball roll over again? But if you listen closely, it's not quite like it, the sound of the metal ball rolling is very coarse, and the sound I heard is obviously much sharper, and we haven't gone far, and the metal ball can't get here so quickly.
If it wasn't the sound of a metal ball, what would it be? We all heard the sound, and when we looked back, it was still pitch black behind us, and the light of the flashlight was shining on it, and because the stone steps were circling, we couldn't see behind the black stone wall, but the sound was getting sharper and sharper.
The sound seemed to be the oncoming sound of the train coming into the station, and it sounded very harsh. I had a feeling that it was coming from behind us, very fast.
Our eardrums were about to shatter, so we quickly covered our ears and lay down on the wall to the side, facing the wall. The sound whistled past us, and our clothes shook with it, as if it had entered our bodies and came out of our bodies.
The voice was suddenly inaudible. I turned around, the flashlight was still on, and I saw that there was a shadow of a person on the stone wall, and there was no one else around, and I suddenly felt a heat all over my body.
The shadow monster was strangely shaped, very irregular in shape, like a hedgehog, big at the top and small at the bottom, with an upside-down gourd, not like any of us. The shadow swayed on the stone wall, up and down, as if it was being blown by the wind.
Tong Xiangyu also saw it, pointed to the shadow and asked, "Look whose shadow is that?" ”
Zhang Lao glanced at it, the expression on his face changed suddenly, he became extremely frightened, his eyes were wide open, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it for a while, he calmed down a little before he spoke: "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”
The shadow was still dangling on the wall, and he didn't speak, Zhang Lao looked around, except for the six of us, he really couldn't see anyone else, maybe there were some objects hanging around, and after careful inspection, there was nothing hanging at all, so where did this shadow come from?
The second uncle walked over and put his hand on the wall where the shadow was, and the shadow suddenly turned to one side, a few meters away from his arm. The second uncle asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" Don't make a big difference here, if you have anything to say, if you have any demands, just talk about it openly. ”
The shadow was still hanging on the wall, the second uncle saw that the shadow didn't speak, picked up the short knife, and went to stab the shadow, but under this stab, the shadow did not move at all, still hanging on the wall, the short knife stretched into the wall two inches, the second uncle was angry, and then poked the shadow several times with the short knife, and each time he killed him. Zhang Lao said: "Master Chen, it's useless for you to do this, at most you will poke the wall again, and the shadow will still be a shadow." ”
The second uncle saw that it was really like this, and he used all his strength just now, and then he gasped for breath, and scolded in his mouth: "Okay, you shadow, do you think I can't find you?" I'll let you go now, and I'll settle accounts with you later. ”
The second uncle hurriedly asked Zhang Lao what was going on? Zhang Lao did not answer what he said, but suddenly knelt on the stone steps, and asked a few of us to kneel down with him, muttering to himself: "A few of us passed through this place, and we have no intention of disturbing, so we will return the same way." "I said in my heart, why do you like to find psychological comfort?
The second uncle was a little unwilling, and asked him softly, "What's the situation?" How did you get deflated so quickly? What kind of thing is this shadow? ”
Zhang Lao said: "This should be the Yin soldiers guarding the door in the Yin and Yang Realm." ”
As soon as I heard that it was a Yin soldier, it seemed to be very powerful, and I thought to myself that we are people from the yang world, he is a person from the underworld, we are in the light and he is in the dark, and the comer is not good, and if we fight with him, it is simply not a level.
Seeing that the shadow did not react, and was still hanging on the wall, Zhang Lao stood up, bowed, turned around, and walked up the stone steps.
He was walking on the stone steps, and I was right next to him, and I saw him suddenly take out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, and light it coldly, turn around, and suddenly throw it at the shadow, which happened to be still on the wall where the shadow was, and at this time, I heard a terrible cry, which sounded very eerie, a cry that I had never heard before, very small, but very intimidating. The sound seemed to enter our bodies at once, and then drifted away again, and the shadow dispersed.
