Chapter Forty-Eight: Crossing the Yellow Spring
The two standing in front of us, one of them was a big horse, the size of a baby elephant. And in his hand, he is holding a soul whip tightly at this moment.
Although he didn't have a specific face, I could feel an extremely strong Yin Qi fluctuation from his body.
And beside him was a scrawny, short guy. Again, the little guy has no face. However, the Yin Qi fluctuations I felt in his body seemed to be much stronger than the big man next to him.
Wu Jiu glanced at the two of them up and down, and then he didn't know where he took out a pile of 100 million yuan in money, and then stuffed it into the hands of the two Yin Cha respectively.
I only saw that after feeling the alluring aura emitted by the dark banknotes, the corners of the two yin mouths actually provoked a faint smile, and then slowly made way for us.
And when I saw these two bad behaviors, I truly realized the truth of the saying "money can make ghosts grind" that is circulated in the world.
Walking all the way, I only found that the environment we are in today is simply a copy of the modern metropolis of Yangji.
It's just that the "people" walking here are all ghosts floating in mid-air.
"Boy, don't look at this place is very prosperous, but it is not a netherworld at all, it is just a connecting point in the underworld - the ghost world." Looking at my self-righteous expression, Wu Jiu raised his hand and knocked me on the head fiercely, and then explained softly to me.
At first, I didn't quite understand the difference between this ghost world and the underworld. But later, after I went in and out of the underworld alone many times, I gradually understood.
This ghost world, although it has a gloomy atmosphere and many ghosts, is not a netherworld at all, it is just a place connecting the human world and the underworld. In other words, if we want to travel from China to foreign countries, we have to take a fixed means of transportation, such as airplanes and ships. And the ghost world we are in now is the so-called means of transportation to the Netherworld.
After death, people do not immediately go to the underworld, but hover in this so-called ghost world, and only after they understand their wishes will they be taken by a specific yin to the ghost boat and cross the Yellow Spring to reach the netherworld.
"Boy, you wait here, I'll go back." After a few words of advice to me beside me, Wu Jiu turned around and floated into a tall building that looked like a department store and supermarket in the world.
And at this moment, I am like an abandoned baby, standing in place, watching this phantom-like ghost wandering back and forth in front of my eyes, and a sense of tension inexplicably rises in my heart.
Strangely, though, the spirits seemed to have a sense of fear at me when they saw me, especially when they saw the fire cloud mark on me.
smiled helplessly, his eyes moved with the trend, only to find that Wu Jiu had floated out of the tall building at this moment. However, now in the palm of his hand, there is an extra black garment.
The surface of the garment glowed faintly in the moonlight, but at a glance it was made of extremely inferior material, as if it could be torn apart with a little force.
"Boy, put this on, and don't let those old fritters in the underworld find you. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I won't have time to take care of you. As he spoke, Wu Jiu waved his arm and threw the clothes in my direction.
As for me, I raised my hand to catch it, but the moment my palm touched the garment, it seemed to be given life, and it was automatically put on outside my soul, and scaled to a size that was very suitable for my soul's size.
Glancing at the decent dress on my body, Wu Jiu suddenly sneered, and then said sarcastically: "Don't say it, boy, it's really appropriate for you to wear a shroud." ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately became angry, but when I was about to refute, Wu Jiu covered my mouth, and then pulled me all the way to the west.
On the way, Wu Jiu once again threw a rectangular blue pendant to me, the surface of the pendant was inlaid with three light blue gems, and in each gem, there was a faint yin force that was not weak.
"This is the soul protection pendant, hang it, and when you cross the Yellow Spring for a while, you will be able to be safe." After seeing me hanging the soul protection pendant around my neck, Wu Jiu nodded with satisfaction, and then said no more, and rushed all the way to go.
At that time, I didn't really understand the meaning of his words, could it be that in the Yellow Spring, there would be danger?
Probably because of the influence of the plot of the story on TV, the Yellow Spring in my mind should be as vast as the sea on earth.
But when I really saw the so-called Yellow Spring, those ridiculous fantasies in my mind were immediately shattered.
I found that the Yellow Spring in front of me was as vast as the sea. In the yellow spring water, you can also faintly see the existence of ghosts. Phantom-like arms emerge from the Yellow Spring from time to time, as if they want to pull down the souls of those who ride the ghostly boat.
His eyes glanced over the wide Yellow Spring, Wu Jiu smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, and immediately floated to the side of several secluded boats not far away, and made a deal with the ferrymen who drove the secluded boats.
"Brother, how much do you want to get to the other side." Looking up and down at the ferryman in front of him, Wu Jiu coughed lightly and asked.
"100,000 RMB." As soon as the ferryman said this, I was shocked not far away.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be a ghost world, in this kind of ghost gathering texture, you can actually spend money in the yang world? Isn't that a little too ridiculous?
It was only later that Wu Jiu told me. Although all the ghosts can collect is the underworld, in this mixed ghost world, there are both humans and ghosts. Therefore, both yang banknotes and dark banknotes should be prepared relatively in case of emergency.
After listening to the other party's price, Wu Jiu nodded to it strangely, and then beckoned to me and signaled, "Boy, get on the boat." ”
I'm very strange, Wu Jiu, who has to cut the price of a toilet paper for half a day on weekdays, is facing a high amount of 100,000 yuan today, and he agreed so happily, could it be that Wu Jiu bought a lottery ticket yesterday and won the jackpot?
But after I asked Wu Jiu, I realized that in this ghost world, the ghost boat was the only tool that could lead to the Netherworld.
Therefore, the ferryman can ask for the ferry fee in an irregular manner. However, their price is directly proportional to the quality and safety of their boats.
Some of the Huangquan ghost towing incidents, or the quality of the problematic boat, in order to attract customers, will naturally keep the price very low.
And the higher the price of those boats, the higher the safety. Therefore, in terms of security, the money that should not be saved must not be saved.
Slowly stepping on the boat, I only felt that at this moment, my whole soul seemed to be attracted by a force of gravity, and my soul was firmly fixed on the board of the boat.
After that, no matter how much the boat swayed, my soul seemed to be unaffected.
"Boy, now you know what it means to get what you pay for." Glancing at me with disdain on his face, Wu Jiu leaned back, lay on the board, and hummed a little song leisurely.
In a short time, the boat we were taking slowly sailed out of the dock under the trend of the ferryman, and continued to move towards our destination, the Netherworld
As the boat continued to go deeper, I could clearly feel a strange smell of blood permeating the Yellow Spring, and in addition to the unique yin qi of the underworld, there was also a taste that I couldn't tell.
However, after smelling this smell, my whole expression became in a trance, as if I had eaten the so-called "head-shaking" pill.
"Boy, don't look down, once you let some of the unjust souls below take away your mind, then you will stay here forever." As if sensing that something was wrong with my state at the moment, Wu Jiu on the side hurriedly patted me on the shoulder and reminded softly.
As for me, after hearing his words, I closed my eyes according to the words, hoping to cut off the connection between me and those wronged souls.
But even so, my ears could still hear the strange sound coming from under the yellow spring.
"Ouyang, save me."
Suddenly, a sweet voice that I was very familiar with appeared in my ears, echoing for a long time, like a slender palm playing with my mind.
"Ke Meng!" I exclaimed to myself, and then I could vaguely see a strange scene in my mind.
In the scene, it is the vast Yellow Spring, and Ke Meng is being pulled down desperately by a group of powerful ghosts who jumped out of the Yellow Spring at this time.
Looking at the nervous expression on Ke Meng's face, I couldn't help but feel a little worried in my heart, and then slowly stood up, wanting to jump off the yellow spring to rescue Ke Meng.
But the moment I stood up, a loud slap accompanied by a hot sting pain appeared on my face.
When I opened my eyes immediately, I found that at this moment, Wu Jiuzheng was staring at me with an angry expression, and scolded me sharply: "You stupid, as a sacrificial Heavenly Master, you can't even tell the difference between reality and illusion, it's really embarrassing." ”
And after hearing his words, I slowly realized that the Ke Meng I saw just now was trapped, and it was all the illusions released by those powerful ghosts in the Yellow Spring, in order to be able to get me out of the Yellow Spring.
Although the pain in my face has not gone away, I have been saved because of it, so I can't help but feel a little lucky. Moreover, looking at Wu Jiu's eyes beside him, there was also a trace of gratitude.
Soon, the boat we took successfully arrived at the Netherworld.
Stepping on the solid ground, my eyes slowly scanned the surroundings, only to find that the scene at this moment was very different from the ghost world before.
If the ghost world just now was a modern metropolis, then this place at this moment should be a prosperous ancient capital.
As my gaze continued to flow, I noticed that not far from us, there were two burly Yin Cha. However, this time in their hands was not a soul chasm whip, but a slender scythe-like weapon.
I don't know exactly what it is, but I can vaguely guess that it must be extraordinary with the deterrent power it exudes.
And behind the two yin, there is a door that seems to be extremely heavy. There were three vivid skeleton shapes carved on the gate, and among those three skeletons, I could faintly feel an extremely strong ghostly energy fluctuation.
Moreover, the moment I fixed my eyes on the skeleton, drops of crimson blood slowly oozed from the corners of the skeleton's mouth, and the entire door was dyed with a strange blood-red color.
Patting me beside me, Wu Jiu raised his hand and pointed to the top of the gate. Looking up, I only found that on the plaque at the top of the gate, there was a line of three big characters written in bright red color: Ghost Gate Pass.
