Chapter Forty-Eight: Walk to the City of Hades
The figure on the opposite side got closer and closer, and the outline became clearer and clearer, Li Bai didn't dare to continue to look at it, for fear that after seeing its appearance clearly, he wouldn't even have a chance to run.
Just as he was scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, suddenly Granny Meng's voice faintly came from his ears, and the voice said: "Don't care about what's around, go straight ahead, and remember not to make a sound." ”
Although Li Bai didn't know why Granny Meng said this, this voice was like a lifesaver for him at this time, and the situation was critical, so he couldn't think about it. Li Bai paused, tried to calm his mood, took a step, and walked towards the front where the figure was.
Li Bai and the figure walked opposite each other, only a few seconds later, they were only a few meters apart, Li Bai saw clearly this time, the man had a flat face, a coarse cloth and blue clothes, and his eyes were dull, but his walking movements were no different from ordinary people. Li Bai's heart fluttered and fluttered, his legs trembled and he could barely move, and just when the two of them came to face each other, the man suddenly stopped and looked at Li Bai directly.
Although Li Bai had made all kinds of preparations in advance, and this person did not look like a "ghost", looking at him like this still made Li Bai's hairs stand on end, and he didn't dare to move for a while. And what echoed in his mind at this time was what Granny Meng had just said, "Don't make a sound." ”
Li Bai stood straight in place, and the person in front of him was also motionless, just staring at his face blankly. Li Bai glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze, and Li Bai did not make any sound during this period. And after looking at Li Bai for about half a minute, the man walked past him, as if nothing had happened just now.
Li Bai was stunned in place and at a loss. He looked back, and the man staggered and walked in the direction behind him without looking back.
Li Bai breathed a long sigh of relief. My heart almost didn't pop out of my throat. Looking at the man's back, he felt very strange in his heart, why did it seem that it didn't realize that it was an anomaly? As long as you don't make a sound, you're no different from the people here?
Li Bai was only a little relieved at this time, if this was the case, then this adventure seemed to be less than half of the danger, just make sure that he didn't make a sound. Then it is impossible for them to "discover" themselves.
Li Bai thought so and continued to walk forward. The road goes on and on, and there is no end in sight. Li Bai walked for a while, then quickly had no hope, squatted down impatiently, and looked around. Where the hell do you find this? Could it be that this netherworld is a wilderness?
"Granny Meng. Can you tell me where to go? There's only one road before and after, and I'm going to have to walk for hours? Li Bai whispered around him, he felt that Granny Meng should be able to hear what he said.
However, he waited for a while and did not hear any reply. He had no choice but to stand up, sigh, and continue walking forward, walking for about two more minutes. I saw a half-meter-high stone tablet on the side of the road, on which was written "Underworld" crookedly.
Li Bai pouted. I thought it was quite "wild", except for the person I saw just now, I walked for so long, and I didn't even see the soul of a mosquito.
He shook his head helplessly, and took another step, but as soon as he stepped over the stone monument, the scene around him suddenly changed, as if he had switched channels all at once. Suddenly, he was in another place, and the sky was still dark, but there were many more "people" around, and there were many similar stalls and other decorations.
Li Bai was taken aback suddenly, as soon as he finished complaining, he had encountered so many ghosts, it seemed that it was better not to mutter. He looked left and right, and saw a large flag hanging not far away, with two particularly large characters on it that read "Hades".
Li Bai suddenly realized that he should have gone to the bazaar in the underworld. He observed that this bazaar was similar to the ancient bazaar he had seen in the previous books, except that there were not many stalls, and the things sold were actually some colorful clothes, large and small, which had no beauty at all. On the other side, there are all kinds of cattle and horses, and even cars and houses. What made Li Bai even more stunned was that there were boys and girls in their teens standing behind a stall, their faces were extremely pale, which made people feel frightened.
"You can buy anything in this place, even children?" Li Bai sighed in his heart, but suddenly he reacted, these things seemed to have been seen somewhere. He thought about it for a long time, but it surprised him, weren't these things burned to them by his family when people died? Aren't those colorful clothes that don't fit well also clothes that are drawn from pieces of paper when burning paper? And the cows, the horses, the houses, and the boys and girls......
Thinking of this, Li Bai woke up like a dream, these things bought in the underworld may have been accidentally scattered outside when people burned paper, and they were "recycled" by the people below.
Li Bai sighed and pinched himself at the same time, reminding himself not to forget his business. The "people" who went back and forth around him walked very slowly, their expressions were also very sluggish, and they were all walking alone one by one, Li Bai was glad that this gave him a cover.
He walked in the crowd, looking around from time to time, hoping to find a gorgeous figure soon, but this place is not big, not small, from he just came in to the present, there are many more "people" around, it seems that today is a big day to "catch the market".
Li Bai looked left and right, didn't notice the movement around him, and accidentally bumped into the "person" next to him, he just wanted to turn around and say "I'm sorry", but he was almost scared and screamed. He hit this person is a woman, her face is unrecognizable, and she doesn't know how she died before she died.
Li Baiqiang endured the fear in his heart, and suppressed the scream in a daze, the woman glanced at him and walked away like nothing. Li Bai put down the hand covering his mouth, and couldn't help but gasp for breath, he was so nervous just now that he almost suffocated.
When he came back to his senses, there were more and more "strange" people around him, and he was more and more scared, so he was naturally more anxious in his heart, where was the gorgeous?
At this time, Granny Meng's voice sounded in his ears again: "Xiaobai, don't panic, look for her, she is near you." ”
Li Bai looked left and right, could it be that Granny Meng could see her every move? But why can't she hear herself? He shook vigorously, don't think about it so much yet, it's important to find someone.
Li Bai saw that there were fewer "people" on his left, so he walked over there, and suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd, based on his impression, it should be gorgeous!
Li Bai was overjoyed and hurriedly chased after him, but there were too many "people" walking back and forth around, and Li Bai didn't dare to touch them, so he went around left and right, and actually lost the figure. He was anxious, thinking to himself, Sister Huali, don't go far, otherwise I will be in trouble with you again!
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly felt a hand tap his shoulder from behind, and only at this moment, his heartbeat seemed to be stopped in fright, and both legs were almost weak. Li Bai swallowed his saliva and slowly turned around. (To be continued......)
