Chapter 13: The Temple
The dense fog in the distance seemed to be far away, but Liu Yusheng and his party had not taken a few steps on the netherworld road, and the fog was already thick around them, and after only walking for a few minutes, the visibility was already less than two meters. Xiran opened the way at the front, he asked everyone to get as close as possible, the three girls were close together, and An Chen grabbed Liu Yusheng's arm and walked at the back.
Liu Yusheng's mental state didn't look very good, he let An Chen drag him forward, and kept muttering: "We will all die, we will all die......"
This road was already quiet and terrible, the dense fog made people upset and irritable, and Liu Yusheng's nagging added a bit of horror. Qu Ran kept looking left and right, and said excitedly: "It's so terrifying!" ”
However, after the initial freshness, Qu Ranran slowly felt bored. She wasn't the only one who was bored, everyone was starting to get bored. Because of this strange netherworld road, it seems that there will never end, they have been walking, non-stop, but in addition to the bluestone slab under their feet, there is only endless dense fog around them.
This went on for a long time, during which time everyone stopped to eat once and rested for more than an hour. But no matter how long the group walked, the situation did not improve in the slightest, and there was still a silent stone road and an endless thick fog. Surrounded by a thick fog, this suffocating silence and repetition tormented everyone's nerves little by little. Everyone also had the idea of giving up, but when they went back, it was exactly the same as going forward, and the way they came from seemed to disappear.
"Ninth Sister," Xi Ran suddenly stopped and said, "This is probably the place, you see?" ”
Yu Po said lightly: "If you want to do it, just do it, don't ask me." ”
Xiran turned around and walked to the back and said to An Chen: "It's not a way to go on like this, sooner or later everyone will go crazy." It can't be delayed any longer, let's do it. ”
An Chen looked at Xi Ran with inquiring eyes, and at the same time crossed his index fingers and made a secret gesture. Xi Ran glanced back at Qu Ranran, and after hesitating for a while, she gave An Chen a look, and the two of them pulled Liu Yusheng into the thick fog. After waiting for Qu Ranran and the others, who were far away, to be sure that they would not be able to see what was happening here, Xi Ran said to An Chen: "I originally wanted to use Xiao Baoer as a sacrifice, but this Uncle Liu happened to come, so let's use him instead of Xiao Baoer." It's okay to save me from arguing with Ranran because of this. ”
An Chen nodded, pressed Liu Yusheng to the ground, pointed a gun at the back of his head, and slowly touched the trigger with his hand. Xi Ran stretched out his hand to stop An Chen, and he whispered, "Don't use a gun, it's too loud." with a rope. ”
An Chen casually put away the gun, took out a sturdy nylon rope from his pocket, and slowly walked towards Liu Yusheng with a calm face. Liu Yusheng turned a blind eye to the life in front of him, and just lowered his head and looked at the ground stupidly. Seeing this, Xi Ran sighed: "Uncle Liu, no matter if you are really crazy or fake crazy, you will inevitably die in short." I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, we were fortunate enough to meet a true psychic master with whom we learned a blood ritual spiritism. Originally, Wu Qian and Xiao Baoer were the objects of our blood sacrifice, and now you can be honored to die for them. ”
Liu Yusheng is still demented, just like a fool. Xi Ran continued: "This blood sacrifice spiritism needs to use the life of a living person as blood food to lure out the patrol messenger of hell, and no matter what evil demons and ghosts are at that time, they will be taken away by the patrol messenger. Whatever the path is doing, I'm sure it won't escape the hands of the patrol messengers, and when the illusion is broken, we'll be able to find the legendary temple! ”
An Chen suddenly interrupted Xi Ran's words, and he said coldly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense with a person who is going to die?" Let's get ready for the ceremony. ”
Xiran was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "I don't know why, I suddenly want to speak." Anyway, get ready to get started. ”
An Chen put the rope around Liu Yusheng's neck, and Liu Yusheng didn't know how to resist, so he was at his mercy. Xi Ran took a small carving knife and began to carve some strange symbols on the ground, the carving knife he held was very sharp, although the ground was full of bluestone slabs, it was still easy to carve patterns on it.
After working for a long time, Xi Ran was tired and sweating profusely, he stopped to catch his breath, and complained: "The stone slab here is too hard, and there are too many symbols needed for the blood sacrifice. ”
An Chen shook his head and didn't speak, and Xi Ran just complained casually, not really wanting to stop. He rested for a while and was about to continue, but at this time, Liu Yusheng, who had always been honest, suddenly spoke. Pointing in horror, he pointed into the distance and said, "Blood! Blood! Blood ......"
Xiran frowned, thinking that Liu Yusheng was crazy again, so she ignored him. But An Chen reached out and patted Xi Ran's shoulder, and then motioned him to look forward, Xi Ran looked in the direction of An Chen's finger, and was suddenly shocked. The direction of An Chen's finger is outside the scope of the Netherworld Path!
Originally, everyone had tried to walk on the side of the road, but the place outside the bluestone slab was actually suspended! In other words, the Netherworld Road is like a mountain ridge, and it cannot be walked anywhere else except the road surface. In order to explore the situation on both sides of the road, Xi Ran almost fell, and was really shocked into a cold sweat at that time, who knows what the result of falling will be? Will it be shattered?
However, now in the direction of An Chen's finger, there is still a long distance from the Netherworld Road, and beyond the road, a flat land has appeared. The field took on an unusual color, dark red and black, as if an endless stream of blood had penetrated it. What's even more bizarre is that the ubiquitous fog retreats from the land, and the condition on the ground can be seen clearly.
The ground was bloodied, and there were things scattered all over it. Xi Ran stretched out his finger and made a few gestures, signaling An Chen to stay where he was and take a good look at Liu Yusheng, and he slowly walked towards the ground that appeared out of thin air. When he stepped on the ground, Xi Ran first stepped tentatively on one foot, and after making sure that it was safe, he slowly walked out of the netherworld.
Xi Ran was taken aback by the things scattered on the ground, and in addition to the dark red and sticky blood, there was a gun thrown on the ground. The safety of the gun had been opened, and the bullets had been shot clean, and the gun was surrounded by bullet casings. In addition to this, there is a brown hiking bag as well as a blood-stained hiking boot.
Xiran picked up his bag and shoes and examined them carefully, only to make his face sink. The characteristics of the mountaineering bag and blood-stained shoes are very distinct, and they are clearly Wu Qian's things! Wu Qiang's name will be engraved on all things in secret places, which is his consistent style. What's going on here? What terrible things happened to Wu Qian? He's run out of bullets, his bag has fallen here, and his shoe has dropped, so what about the others? Is it dead or alive? The bloodstains on the ground, do they belong to Wu Poor?
Xi Ran frowned, and the qiē in front of him made him feel that danger seemed to be approaching, but what he was afraid of was not danger, but he didn't know where it came from. This mysterious unknown is the source of human fear.
"Whew! Woohoo! ”
An Chen, who was in the distance, spoke out and asked for the details of Xiran's matter. Xiran stood up and was about to walk back to communicate with An Chen, but the moment he looked up, he froze.
In the distance, a magnificent temple emerged, and through the endless mist, the bells rang out. As the bell rang, the fog gradually dissipated, and the range of the bell did not stop until it reached the side of the Nether Road. When Yiqiē quieted down, all the places were clear except for the thick fog that was still rolling on the netherworld.
Xi Ran looked at the Yiqi in front of him dumbfounded, this kind of magical thing beyond the limits of human imagination made his heart completely shocked. The strange thing is that An Chen is standing not far from this land, but he is unaware of this qiē, the two of them are like being in two different worlds.
Xiran could hear An Chen's voice, and An Chen could see his movements, but the temple he saw here, the bells he heard, and the magical world revealed by the thick fog, An Chen couldn't see it. The Netherworld Road is like a glass with a film, Xi Ran is inside, you can clearly see An Chen outside, An Chen is outside, you can only see Xi Ran vaguely, and you can't see anything else.
"Whew! Woohoo! ”
The three girls didn't know when they met with An Chen, and An Chen sent an anxious signal, urging Xi Ran to go back. Xi Ran reluctantly looked at the temple in the distance, turned around and ran towards the netherworld.
"What's wrong, Xiran? What's going on there? Qu Ranran asked anxiously.
"Something is wrong!" Xi Ran said excitedly, "Guess what I saw? It's a temple! It must be a temple! Right there! ”
An Chen frowned, and said suspiciously, "What madness are yours?" After standing there for so long, did you hallucinate? ”
Xi Ran was stunned for a moment and said, "Have I been standing there for a long time?" ”
"It's been a long time!" Qu Ran said dissatisfiedly, "I've been waiting for you over there with Bao'er and Sister Nine for more than an hour!" You didn't even say hello, I thought something was wrong with you. ”
Xiran was stunned when he heard this, he walked over to check the things left by Wu Qian, and then the bell rang, at best, it was only 5 minutes, why did it take more than an hour? But when he looked at everyone suspiciously, everyone's reaction was the same, which proved that he really stayed there for more than an hour!
Was it that he was so deluded by the illusion that he ignored the passage of time? No! Absolutely not! Xi Ran was sure that the qiē he saw was definitely not an illusion, and he had a clear awareness of time, and the time from walking out of the netherworld path to walking back was definitely only ten minutes! But the others swore by it, and it didn't look like they were lying, and they didn't bother to join forces to deceive Xiran.
Then, there is only one explanation - the passage of time outside the path of the netherworld is different from the passage of time on the path of the netherworld!
