Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Plank Road and the Sea of Worms

Chapter 28 Plank Road and the Sea of Worms

I was right, the purple flowers that sprawled around me were the flowers that were said to grow on the other side of the Yellow Spring Road, but they were not fully ripe, and their mature bodies were red.

Legend has it that the flower on the other side is the flower that grows on the side of the Santu River, and it is the flower that blooms on the road of Huangquan. There are a large number of flowers blooming in large numbers, which look like a carpet of blood from a distance, and because of its red fire, it is called the "road of fire", and people step on the guidance of this flower to the hell of the underworld. After crossing the Huangquan Road with flowers blooming on the other side, you will arrive at the Lechuan River, the water of the Lechuan River is blood-yellow, and it is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts that cannot be reincarnated

There is a three-life stone next to the Lechuan River, the words on the stone are bright red as blood, and there are four words engraved on it; Ascend to the other shore early, and you can carve the name of the person you love most in this life and the person you want to wait for in the next life.

Yuan Meng said with emotion, "I remember that the Lotus Sutra records, 'The flowers on the other side bloom for a thousand years and fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves will never meet.'" Love is not cause and effect, fate is destined for life and death. 'I didn't expect that there is no mature flower on the other side and still has the ability to **. ”

"It's good you were quick enough, or we'd be in trouble! Thank you so much this time. "Qingfeng rarely spoke to me solemnly.

"What my sister said is that we don't know water, and if it weren't for you, we would really be dead!" Yuan Meng said to me gratefully.

Originally, I was curious about what hallucinations they had seen, so much so that they fell into the underground lake together, but they didn't want to say, and I didn't want to ask, so I just smiled faintly and said, "My duty is to protect you, and I should!" ”

I glanced at the unripe flowers growing around me, and said in thought, "The peanuts on the other side are on Huangquan Road, after the bronze giant gate, could it really be the underworld?" ”

Yuan Meng and Qingfeng's faces froze, after all, they were from the Tang Dynasty, and the idea of feudal superstition was deep-rooted, after a while, Yuan Meng thought and said, "Impossible, if the door is really the underworld, these flowers on the other side will exist for thousands of years, and they will not only be purple." ”

As soon as I said it casually, Yuan Meng really took it seriously, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if he is in the underworld or the underworld, let's go and go for it!" ”

As I spoke, I stood up, waved my big hand, and said impassionedly, "Sisters, set off towards the Netherworld!" ”

The sisters of the Yuan family looked up at me and suddenly felt full of confidence.

I held the smokeless stove and let Yuan Meng and Qingfeng follow me closely through the blooming flowers on the other side. Miraculously, where we passed, the flowers on the other side became sluggish, and only after we passed, did they become upright again. Maybe the things in the underworld, when they encounter yang fire, they naturally have to retreat!

When we got to the bottom of the ancient boardwalk safely, I left the smokeless stove aside, and it was certainly not a wise move to take this thing with me. Because the trend of the ancient plank road is too steep, we must travel lightly.

Under the ancient plank road, we picked out the equipment again, and threw away the cumbersome things that we didn't need, and only brought emergency necessities on the road.

Having come here, we all know that the destination of this trip is close at hand.

Because the miner's lamp on my head was broken, Yuan Meng used medical tape to fix the wolf's eye flashlight on my hat, not to mention that it really worked, so I had my hands free and climbed the ancient plank road to add another layer of safety.

On the plank road, I am naturally the first, Qingfeng is in the center, Yuan Mengdian is behind, and in order to prevent one person from stumbling and smashing everyone, each of us has opened a distance of a few meters, so that even if the person in front, in case there is a mistake, the person behind can also have time to react, and rescue and dodge can be in time.

Although the ancient plank road is very steep, in fact we are not slow at all, thanks to the darkness of the ink, because we climb five or six meters, we can see completely below, there is no reference, we do not feel how high we climbed.

After ten minutes, we have climbed to two-thirds of the ancient plank road, and the top hole is already in sight.

But by the time I got here, the handrails of the ancient plank road had basically all decayed and collapsed. Only the bare stone steps remain, and when you look down at the bottomless abyss, the environment is really shocking. Although even if there are handrails, most of them are useless, but after all, there is a psychological barrier, and it feels safer, which is unobstructed and really challenges people's nerves.

I took a deep breath, pressed my body against the rock wall, and took a cautious step, stepping firmly in the middle of the stone bar before stepping on my other leg. In this way, I slowly climbed more than a dozen steps, and I was relieved to see that the summit was in front of me, although it was dangerous, but there was always no danger.

As soon as I thought like this, suddenly I heard Qingfeng below shouting, "Watch out for you!" ”

I was startled, and subconsciously raised my head, only to see a red shadow rushing over like lightning, I only had time to tilt my head, I felt a strong wind pass by my face, followed by my right cheek and neck suddenly a burst of red and spicy pain, hurriedly reached out to cover it. At this time, I listened to Qingfeng, who was a few meters away, suddenly reciting a string of jerky incantations loudly, and later I learned that she was reciting "Exorcism Mantra".

The red-blooded ghost baby who attacked me was completely powerless under the "Exorcism Curse", and with a terrible scream, he rushed into the boundless darkness of the underground cavern. This evil creature is really powerful, smooth and steep cliffs, walking on the ground, there is no chance of sniping.

The burning pain on my face and neck quickly turned into itching and pain, and when I put my hands in front of my eyes, my heart suddenly became cold, and my gloves were full of blood!

In an instant, I realized that I was finished, and it wouldn't be long before the corpse poison of the Red Blood Infant would kill me.

At this time, Yuan Meng's voice came from below, "Xiao Soul, are you okay?" ”

I looked at the black blood on my gloves and shouted, "It's okay, keep climbing!" "I took off my gloves and threw them down to prevent them from slipping.

The cave at the end of the ancient plank road is only five or six meters away from me, and since I am not far from death, I am naturally no longer afraid of death. Soon I was climbing up.

Standing on the edge of the cave, I looked inside, the cave was only two meters high, but it was dark and endless, and I didn't know where it led.

I turned around, bent down to look down, and saw that the Qingfeng below had already arrived at the place where I was attacked, and even Yuan Meng at the bottom was less than ten meters away from reaching the top, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Yuan Meng at the bottom seemed to have discovered some danger, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Qingfeng, go up, something is coming up below!" ”

I was startled, and hurriedly looked to the bottom, through the beam of the wolf's eye flashlight, I saw that the flowers on the other side were chaotic into a stream of porridge, but I couldn't see what happened at all.

In desperation, I quickly took out a cold firework from my backpack and threw it down. The silvery-white flame released by the combustion of titanium powder made it like a falling meteor, cutting through the pitch-black black hole and falling straight to the bottom of the cliff.

Through the bright flames, I saw countless white flower insects swarming out of the flowers on the other side, surging up the cliff like a white tide, and rushing up more than ten meters in a blink of an eye, I never expected the speed of those insects to be so fast, standing on the edge of the ancient plank road cave, anxiously shouted, "Yuan Mengqingfeng, hurry up, the insects are coming!" ”

At the same time, I wondered very much, we had just come from the flowers on the other side, why there was not even a single insect at that time, could it be that we were all hiding in the gap between the hints? But what inducements make them swarm out in the thousands?

Glove! I was shocked, the bloody glove, not long after I threw it down, the sea of white flowers and insects appeared!

Damn it! I was annoyed. But who would have thought that a bloody glove would cause such a big disaster.

No, since blood can wake up the unknown sea of insects from its slumber, it means that those insects are extremely bloodthirsty! In case they catch up, with the huge number of worms, there will be no bones left before we can be gnawed!

Thinking of this, I shouted even more anxiously, "Hurry up, those bugs are eating people!" ”

What reassured me a little was that Qingfeng had already climbed up, and I reached out to pull her into the cave, she was a little safer for the time being, but Yuan Meng's situation was not optimistic at all.

Although she was the first to discover the sea of insects when it appeared, because those unknown white insects were too fast, Yuan Meng would definitely not be able to reach the entrance of the cave and would have to be glued by the sea of insects, which is terrible!

"Think of a way!" Qingfeng jumped to his feet beside me.

"Let's go, leave me alone!" Yuan Meng's shouts came from inside the cave.

Hearing her words, my heart felt like it was burned by hot oil, and I suddenly broke out in a hot sweat, what should I do?!

Yuan Meng climbed up like crazy, but the more she hurried, the more she made mistakes, when she was only more than three meters away from the cave, her feet slipped in an uproar, and the whole person fell headlong, so frightened that Qingfeng screamed and closed her eyes. And my heart wanted to fall into the abyss.

In the process of falling, Yuan Meng luckily grabbed the handrail of the ancient plank road, stopped the downward fall, and her whole person hung in the air. But her troubles are far from over, the sea of insects in Baihuahua is only half a meter away from her, and the ancient handrails that support her whole body weight are creaking and painful, and it seems that they will break at any time.

Hanging in the air, Yuan Meng glanced at the sea of insects close at her feet, and her heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and at this moment, a mountaineering rope hung down and appeared in front of her eyes.

Yuan Meng was overjoyed, and reached out to firmly grasp the climbing rope, so dangerous! As soon as she let go of the handrail of the ancient plank road, the rotten piece of wood fell into the abyss with a clatter. And the sea of worms also flooded up at a very fast speed.

I saw that the swarming sea of insects was already close in front of me, and I used all my strength with both hands to quickly pull Yuan Meng up.

Finally, before the sea of insects reached the entrance of the cave, Qingfeng and I worked together to rescue Yuan Meng.

Even though we all arrived in the cave, that didn't mean we were safe. Because outside the entrance of the cave, there was already a rustling of insects and the sound of climbing.

I took out two cold fireworks from my backpack and lit them at the same time, and threw them at the mouth of the cave to try to block the sea of insects below.

Then I dragged Yuan Meng and Qingfeng to the depths of the cave like crazy, but the hateful thing was that we hadn't run out twenty meters yet, and another bronze door blocked the way. I tried to hit it with my body, but the bronze door didn't move, but the rustling of insects behind me was getting closer.

We're dead.
