Chapter 13: The Fox with a Thousand Faces
Xiao Gao came to the river, whistled, and in a short time a small boat came, and there was no ferryman on it, and it actually approached us by itself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xiao Gao took me over and carefully led me to the boat.
Xiao Gao and I had just stepped on the boat, and before I could react, the boat actually swam towards the opposite side by itself.
I was very curious and asked Xiao Gao, "This boat doesn't even have a ferryman!" ”
Xiao Gao told me that this boat is demonic and specially set up for people who come and go back to Vaseimen, and it will take us to Vaseimen.
"And how does it know that we are vain?" I asked.
At this time, Xiao Gao took out a jade pendant token from his arms, which was engraved with three big characters of Vain Shengmen, and there were other patterns around it, Xiao Gao told me that as long as he was a person from Vain Shengmen, he would get this token, and there was no problem in entering and exiting Vain Shengmen. I'll get this when I go back this time.
I sighed, and it got more and more interesting.
But before I could react, the sky began to rain heavily, and Xiao Gao said to me, "Don't be afraid, boss, this is the barrier of our vain life." This rain is something that allows you to see things that others can't see, and there are many enchantments in this vain gate, even if ordinary people get on this boat, they may not be able to see the real scene of the vain gate, and they all rely on this rain to break the illusion array. ”
I was stunned, nodded, and let the rain drench me into a soup chicken, I was embarrassed to ask, "Is it that as long as I come to the door in vain, I will be drenched in the rain?" ”
Xiao Gao smiled, "No, because it's the first time for adults." Chen specially let it rain and land on you, so that you can see the real scene of the Vain Gate even if you don't get the token. ”
I sighed, but luckily I don't have to get wet every time, or I'd catch a cold.
After a while. Suddenly the rain stopped.
At this time, a white mist rose steadily in the middle of the river. On the level of the river, where the fog was rising and the smoke was rising, a stone bridge was suddenly erected from the water, and all the sides of the stone bridge were made of various bones, hanging around, which looked particularly strange.
Xiao Gao said happily, "It's here." ”
I was stunned, I should have been here to this slate bridge, Jiang Li used a spell to open this road before, and I followed Xiao Gao from a shortcut this time, which proves that no matter where you go to Vain Life Gate, you must pass through this slate bridge.
I followed Xiao Gao and walked towards the bridge deck, just stepping on the bridge deck, the bones hanging around the stone slab bridge, unsuspectingly suddenly spoke, "Millennium Demon Soul, pass quickly, remember not to turn back." ”
I remember Jiang Li once told me before, this bridge is very long, there will be some things along the way, you must not turn back, there is a demon head behind, once you turn back, it will think that you have repented, and will immediately knock you into the river. I can't step into here.
I was still a little cautious, but then I thought about it, why am I so guilty, I am now a major general of the Vain Sect, this head is held high, take a step. Looking back three times, I guess no one dares to say it.
It was at this time that I suddenly remembered something.
At the beginning, Jiang Li took a few of us, obviously a total of four people came to the slate bridge together, and when he walked about 500 meters, he met a strange person, whose head was very large, as if the size of three heads were put together, but the figure was very short, and it could even be described as thin, which is not an exaggeration.
At that time, this person said three people, please stay, but there were four of us.
I asked curiously. "What do you think is a human being?"
Xiao Gao was stunned, "You mean people?" Or a living person in the yang world. ”
"People, not just the living in the yang world." I say.
Xiao Gao thought for a while and said, "Except for the Three Realms, everything can be called a person. ”
My heart sank, could it be that when we came, that person thought that one of the four of us was not from the Three Realms, so he only said three please stay?
"Boss, do you have any questions to ask me, you can tell me, my mouth is very strict, and I only listen to your orders." Xiao Gao blinked at me.
I thought about it for a while, and simply said to him, "I used to sneak in once when I was young, but I sneaked in to be curious, and there were four of us at that time, and then I met a man with three heads on the way, and the first thing he said to us was, 'Three uninvited guests, stay here, if you want to go to Vashangmen, you must hand over something to me.'" Later, when we went into the Vain Gate, we met the rabbit-faced person, and it also said that three people should come in, and I wondered why you ignored one of the four of us. ”
Xiao Gao was stunned, suddenly pondered, and his eyes suddenly converged. He looked at me very seriously and said, "Unless one of you is a person who is not an existence of the Three Realms, and has an extraordinary relationship with the Vain Birth Gate, such a person we call our own people, and generally we are not allowed to talk to each other at will. ”
I thought to myself. When I came that time, just me, Jiang Li, Wenwen, and the Wandering Corpse King, the four of them, Wenwen and the Wandering Corpse King were all demons, and I was just a little Taoist, Jiang Li...... Could it be because of Jiang Li?
My heart sank. More and more I feel that Jiang Li has something to hide from me, and he doesn't want me to know, if I hadn't come here suddenly, I would have almost forgotten about it.
Xiao Gao said that there are only two possibilities, the first is that this person is outside the Three Realms, this cannot be called, the second is that the relationship between this person and Vain Life Gate is not trivial, it is his own person, so he can't talk at will, and the third is both, such a person is avoided by others as much as possible, this is the rules of Vain Life Gate, and only senior disciples know these rules.
I looked at Xiao Gao with some surprise, "So, you're also an older person?" ”
Xiao Gao smiled hesitantly, "I'm dying in vain." It's been two thousand years. ”
I couldn't help but tremble, such awesome!
I can't help but admire in my heart, this old employee who has been working in Vain for so long has come to be my little brother, this is too incredible, I, Chen Xiaoke, don't know anything about Vain Shengmen.
At this time, there are a lot of demon spirits coming and going on the slate bridge, I walked towards the front with Xiao Gao, I looked back from time to time, just opposite the little demon in charge of the slate bridge, it looked at me with a smile, nodded very politely and saluted, I turned my head in embarrassment.
I didn't expect this to be a mixed position. It's true that the treatment is completely different, and if I had done this on a normal day, I would have been thrown into the river a long time ago.
Walking into the red temple, the lights are bright all around, the red lanterns are hung high on the beams of each room, the antique architectural features, I can't help but think of the architectural design of the capital city, and it is also the same, basically similar to the ancient courtyard, but there are some more strange-shaped stone statues.
The inside of the red shrine is like a semicircle, and there is a clearing in the middle, and there is a well, which is surrounded by black vines, faintly revealing an evil aura.
The steward of the Red Temple is the director of the prison, and the director of the prison also has a group of people who are responsible for registering, verifying, estimating, and arranging various matters for the first time here.
Because I came this time to restore my life, so according to the rules, I must register at the Red Temple, but the process of reincarnation is not quite the same.
Because Xiao Gao is here, there is no need for a special person to take me in.
Xiao Gao and I were about to go in, when someone suddenly shouted, "Please stay." ”
We turned around together. It turned out to be the director of the prison in vain, which was particularly embarrassing, but fortunately, at that time he still looked like a child, and now that I have become an adult, he shouldn't have noticed it for a while.
Jiang Li also once told me. The director of the prison is also extremely powerful, he was originally a fox with a thousand faces, good at all kinds of face-changing techniques, and has a strong ability to perceive, he belongs to the Qingqiu country, and was once the prime minister of the Qingqiu country. But he was driven out of Qingqiu Country by a traitor, I don't know why, he met the master of the Vain Door, and the owner of the door let him stay here to do things, but his ability should not be underestimated, when he left Qingqiu Country. The Wandering Corpse King was just born, so you can imagine how terrible his Taoism is.
Standing in front of us at this moment is this thousand-faced fox, the appearance of a white-faced Confucian student, with a smile on his face, unable to see his true expression, holding a folding fan in his hand. In an extremely gentle tone, he said, "This is our new Major General Si from the Vain Sect?" He was so young and defeated the elites of the Three Realms. ”
I hurriedly saluted, "I am the head of the Dragon and Tiger Sect under the mountain, and I am also a little Taoist. ”
The prison director smiled happily, "Coming back today?" ”
Xiao Gao sighed, "I acted on orders and came with a major general to receive the order." ”
The prison director's eyes sank, and he immediately changed his tone and said in a cold tone, "My mother-in-law is not here today, I'm afraid I won't be able to get my life, let him go back." ”
This Xiao Gao was stunned, looked at the prison director with a slightly embarrassed face, and said, "This ...... It was my mother-in-law who asked me to bring the major general back to life, why won't I be there! ”
The prison director looked at Xiao Gao with an unhappy face, "Is there anything else I don't know about this whole vain door?" If I say no, then I don't. ”
Xiao Gao was speechless for a while, so he had to obediently close his mouth.
I immediately said, "Since we're not here, let's go back." ”
"Who said I wasn't there!" Suddenly, an extremely gloomy and terrifying voice, like the breath of a thousand-year-old demon, came from the pressure, which made people a little breathless.
