Chapter 240: Paper Man

"What's up ahead?" Haruko asked.

"It's a building, it's a town."

"I also saw ...... Pyramid? ”

"Yes, let's go down and see."

"Go down? It's so high here, how do we get down? ”

Zhao Zhu patted the glove in his palm and said, "The adsorption power of this glove is enough, you and I stay closer, we will help each other to make a protection, although it is relatively high here, but as long as we are quick with our hands and feet, we should be able to go down for breakfast." ”

From the night out of the camp to the present, although I haven't seen the location of the earth's axis, or even whether the earth's axis really exists, it's still unclear, but it's almost early in the morning at this time, of course, the underground world under the crack, basically there is not much light, and the reason why the shadow of the town in the distance can be seen is that the rocks above that area seem to release a pale green light because of the different material composition.

When going down the cliff, neither Zhao Zhu nor Haruko dared to be careless, on the one hand, if he fell down, it would be a very dangerous thing under the premise that his mental power could not detect the surrounding situation, and on the other hand, how Han Ying died at the beginning, Zhao Zhu still did not know it, so it may be in the dark now, or above or below, there is a pair of eagle-like eyes peeping here.

"Be careful." Zhao Zhu said to Haruko.

"Well, Zhao Jun, you too."

About half an hour later, Zhao Zhu finally saw the ground, and he and Haruko finally came down from the top of the cliff.

Without bothering to rest, the two took out food and drink from their backpacks, and continued to walk forward while replenishing food and water, and the phantom of the town in front of them was getting closer and closer, especially the pyramids of Egypt, which were becoming more and more magnificent.

It's the ground with a big fissure, but there's a pyramid...... It's incredible.

"Zhao Jun, is that the city gate?" Haruko asked, pointing to the shadow in front of her.

"It's ...... Castle. ”

Zhao Zhu was a little speechless, this castle had been seen by Zhao Zhu in film and television works and some ancient European buildings that are now preserved. It's a style, it doesn't belong to Egypt, it doesn't belong to China.

Oracle, Phoenician. Pyramids, castles, so many civilized things appeared here, could it be said that thousands of years ago the ancestors. Have you already discovered this place?

At that time, it was much older than the Qin Dynasty, at least, in Xu Fu's time, he did not find any information about the ancestors and the axis of the earth.

Zhao Zhu has a sense of heaviness more and more, here, it may be a gap in the historical records, a mysterious place hidden in the long river of history.

And he will be a witness to this hidden history.

"Woo woo ......"

A loud horn sounded, and it sounded over the castle. Bring a sense of slaughter and oppression!

Immediately afterward, the door under the castle was raised, and a procession of knights rushed out of it.

"This is not a real person, this is a soul imprint, go, let's keep going, don't go to the confrontation with their breath, just avoid their breath, treat them as if they don't exist, they don't exist at all."

Zhao Zhu said to Haruko as he took Haruko's hand and walked forward. This situation was encountered by Zhao Zhu in the Xu Fu cemetery, when the city gate was also opened, and a group of ghosts seemed to come out as if they were in front of their own lives. Then, Zhao Zhu failed to resist this kind of spiritual oppression and impact, and his spiritual consciousness was coerced into the dream world of those ghosts. Fortunately, I met Xu Fu at that time, and it was a blessing in disguise.

When the group of knights rushed over Zhao Zhu and Haruko, Zhao Zhu and Haruko clasped their hands tightly and did not evade. In this way, they rushed through themselves like shadows, as if they were walking in front of the big screen while a movie was being shown.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhu and Haruko walked into the castle.

The gate of the castle, after the two entered, slowly closed again, as if there was a mysterious force controlling all this.

The main color here is black, there is light, but very little, occasionally some stones will glow, bringing a little insignificant lighting, but it looks more weird, walking between, Zhao Zhu can clearly feel that the surrounding houses are empty, no one is living, around, except for the previous horn, is a deathly silence.

It was as if he was walking in a grave, and this tomb had existed for an unknown number of years.

However, soon, Zhao Zhu discovered that something was wrong, because there was a room with light in it!

Yes, Firelight!

Fresh firelight!

Zhao Zhu and Haruko leaned towards the room, the fire came from the window, the window was made of paper, but it was very strong, after so many years, the houses and buildings here still looked like they had just been built and used for a short time, not at all like a building that had existed for so many years.

When Zhao Zhu pushed open the door, he found a person, lying on the table, no longer breathing, obviously dead.

Zhao Zhu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grope for the person, but he didn't find anything to prove his identity, but looking at the outfit and dress, it was a modern person, and it was an East Asian face.

It shouldn't be Japanese or Koreans, because even if these two countries want to reach out here to try their luck, they should also send their own special troops, but the deceased is wearing a pair of jeans and a navy blue jacket, this clothing matching, it should be the appearance of the people in the group, because only the team organized in the group will feel that they are strong, so they are too confident, and they will act directly without tidying up or unifying the equipment.

After checking the dead first, Zhao Zhu began to look around, and found that the daily necessities around him were readily available, of course, not household appliances, but the utensils needed for the life of ancient people, and even in some clay pots, there was still food stored, it looked very fresh, but I don't know how many years it had been stored, and the home was also very clean and tidy, and there was no dust at all.

When Zhao Zhu was about to leave the house, the firelight suddenly swayed.

Zhao Zhu stopped suddenly, turned around, and looked at this candle, the candle should also be an object that originally existed in this house, but it was very likely that it was lit by the group of people who came in later, and this person probably fell asleep on the table. He never woke up and died, and his companion may have left here.

This means that someone is one step ahead of Zhao Zhu. They have fallen behind, so even if no one from other forces can look at the clouds and distinguish the qi, they probably have their own special methods to achieve the same effect.

The candle is still burning. But under Zhao Zhu's gaze, it seemed like a shy woman, and she began to be more and more embarrassed, the flame began to get lower and lower, and became weaker and weaker, and Zhao Zhu's face was getting closer and closer to the flame, as if she wanted to see it completely.

The mutation occurred at this time, and the flames burst out. Turned into a fire snake and rushed directly towards Zhao Zhu's eyebrows, which was a bit like the feeling of a flamethrower erupting, but Zhao Zhu had already prepared, and fifty water attribute cards weaved a barrier in front of Zhao Zhu.

There was a crisp "hiss", the fire snake was hit back, and completely disintegrated, and the candle was completely extinguished at this time, and the room suddenly became extremely dark. Zhao Zhu and Haruko could see that in a corner of the room, there was a woman wearing a white mask, standing there. Look at them coldly.

"This is not the place where you should come, here, it should always be peaceful!"

The masked woman's voice was weird, because in Zhao Zhu's ears, it sounded like the voice of his mother Wu Xiuya. In Haruko's ears, it sounded like the voice of her younger brother Xu Ao.

At the same time, the masked woman's figure took a step back, and the whole ground disappeared into the wall, disappearing without a trace, Zhao Zhu was too late even if he wanted to make a move before, because the other party was not a human, and it didn't seem to be a ghost, it was also a kind of spiritual imprint, but the way this imprint carried it was a little different.

"Interesting, there is also a guardian force guarding this place, this guy should be an unlucky ghost." Zhao Zhu took a deep breath and left the room with Haruko.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of suona outside, and then, Zhao Zhu saw a group of people walking in the distance, this group of people walked in a very strange posture, a little uncoordinated and stiff, and felt a little tight, but soon, Zhao Zhu realized what kind of people it was, this is paper people!

"Back off, into the house!" Zhao Zhu immediately took Haruko's hand and returned to the room he had just entered.

"Zhao Jun, what is this?" Qingzi is a little unclear, although she is a Taoist heir, but her experience is indeed a little lacking, and she is not as experienced as Zhao Zhu.

"This is here to collect the corpse, this is the invisible rune paper, stick it on your forehead, calm down, don't be found by those things, this rune paper turns to cover the detection of ghosts."

Haruko put the talisman paper on her forehead and began to meditate.

Then, the door was opened from the outside, and a group of people walked in, and when they got closer, they could see clearly, this was a group of paper people, their faces were smeared with thick rouge, which looked very weird, but their behavior at this time was even more weird, four paper figures, each holding a hand or a leg, carried the dead man who was lying on the table out of the room.

Then, there was a paper man in a blue robe, as if he had found something, and walked towards Zhao Zhu, he stood in front of Zhao Zhu Zhao Zhu, and looked at it, the face made of paper constantly changed into a contemplative and inexplicable expression, bringing a strange and terrifying aura, but in the end, he still turned around and left the house, and at the same time, the door was closed.

Zhao Zhu and Haruko breathed a sigh of relief and took off the talisman paper from their foreheads.

"Brother Zhao, what is that?"

"There is a legend, it is said that the origin of the ancient Chinese custom of burning paper, it is said that at the beginning, it was the king of Yama who first made a paper man to help him go to the yang world to deal with things, and then the people in the yang world knew, when someone in their own family died, they burned paper people, they thought that the paper man had the ability to walk through yin and yang, and brought words to the Lord of Yama, so that he could do well, so that his relatives would suffer less under the ground, and reincarnate early. As for the legend of the bull head and horse noodles and the fact that people now burn paper and people burn cars to serve the dead underground, it is a custom that evolved later, and it has long been incompatible with the earlier version. ”

"Zhao Jun, you mean, that group of paper people was sent by the King of Hades?"

"I don't know. But we're right now, right underground. Haruko, now we have to be mentally prepared, the closer we get to the axis of the earth, the more strange and incredible things we will face, even with our strength, if we are not careful, there is a possibility of capsizing in the gutter, just like the previous paper man, if he finds us, if we destroy all these paper figures, will it lead to an even more terrifying existence? ”

"Yes, Zhao Jun, I know." Haruko nodded, however, her eyes suddenly widened, because Zhao Zhu, who had been standing with him before, at this time, his face slowly became extremely pale, and that expression became more and more abstract, vivid...... Turned into a paper man!

Zhao Jun ...... You! ”

"I ...... What's wrong with me? Hehehehehehehe...... Hehehehehehe......" (To be continued.) )
