Chapter 499: 'Nai He Bridge'
We nodded solemnly in response to Yuan Feng, I thought to myself that I had come here, I can't go on a business trip, otherwise I will be wronged.
And the ghost city of Fengdu, which Yujie has been looking forward to, is also in front of me, and I find that she is even more nervous than me. Also more excited.
At this time, Yuan Feng recited the spell, and the stone gate rose with a 'boom', and at the same time, a cold air hit us, and everyone held their breath.
Looking inside through the stone gate, it was almost the same as the side we were, except that there was some fog, which was not very real.
We followed Yuan Feng into the stone gate, which was cold and unusually quiet, and there was also a sense of fairyland.
I didn't feel anything unusual at the beginning of the road, but the light around me slowly dimmed, and I heard the sound of the river. After walking a few more steps, I saw a slender arch bridge looming in the mist.
"This can't be a bridge, right? When you cross this bridge, you won't forget everything and go to reincarnation, right? Yujie was very nervous and asked in a low voice.
"Yujie, I'm big and timid, don't scare me, is there really such a thing as a bridge?"
I appeased Yujie and Datou, saying that the bridge is all legends, this is just a road to the ghost city of Fengdu, she is usually so sensible, I didn't expect that at this time, she began to be confused.
Yuan Feng heard our conversation and turned around. His expression is very calm, which makes people feel very down-to-earth at a glance.
He sued us. "This is not a helpless bridge, you will arrive at the ghost town of Fengdu after crossing the bridge. The more you are afraid of it, the more likely it is to go wrong, and once it does, it will be much more troublesome than the Nai He Bridge. ”
"How much trouble?" Qingxue couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe you will always swim away in the rift between the ghost city of Fengdu and the demon world." After he finished speaking, we all gasped, I didn't expect that there would be such a test, but if it was just a Yangguan Avenue, it would be too easy to go to the ghost city of Fengdu, and it was really unlikely.
Although the others didn't speak, they could see that they were all worried.
I saw that Yujie was really nervous, so I grabbed her cold hand, "Don't be afraid, follow me." ”
Yujie took a deep breath and nodded at me. So we mustered up the courage to step onto the bridge.
As soon as I walked to the bridge, something strange happened, and I found that I was alone, and I didn't know when to let go of Yujie's hand.
Suddenly I felt someone push me, and I staggered two steps to the right to the edge of the bridge. Looking down, I was so scared that I almost fell down, there was no river below, it was a bottomless black hole.
I hurriedly returned to the middle of the bridge and began to run on the bridge, but my legs seemed to be filled with lead, and I looked down to see a pair of bloody hands already grasping my ankles.
I quickly kicked and kicked. It took a long time to kick the hands away, but at the same time another dry wood-like arm reached out to me, grabbed my arm hard, and began to pull it down the bridge.
I pulled out my soul and cut it down without hesitation, and after my arm was cut off, there was a cry of pain from the side, and I could hear the sound that it was my milk!
I hurriedly turned around, only to see that my milk was scarred, and now she was lying on the stone railing on the bridge, "Four tigers, save my milk, I'm trapped here, pull me up"
Why is my milk here! Is she locked up in this chasm?
"Milk, I didn't mean to hurt you just now, but aren't you in the ghost town of Fengdu?"
"Help me," my grandmother looked at me in pain as she stretched out her remaining half of her arm.
I remembered what Yuan Feng said, no matter what you see or hear, you have to move forward, but what if my grandmother is really locked up here?
I hesitated for a moment and walked towards the bridge, when I stepped on something hard under my feet, and when I looked down, it was actually a branch, no, this should be the arm of my milk that I just cut off.
I hurriedly stepped back, knowing that it wasn't my, it must be my hallucination, and with this firmly established, I began to move on without looking back.
But as soon as I walked for a while, I heard Yujie's voice, "Four tigers, four tigers!" "I saw that she was now trapped by a lot of hands, and she was about to fall.
I hurriedly walked over to pull her, but when I walked in front of Yujie, she smiled grimly at me, and then pushed me under the bridge violently, and my feet were unstable, and I almost fell headlong.
I quickly stood on my feet, and then pulled my legs and ran. I understand, every qiē here is fake, I've been fooled twice, and I won't believe anyone who comes this time.
As I ran wildly, I heard a lot of cries coming from under the bridge, and then I began to tell me all kinds of stories, and my heart was so shaken by the sound that I began to break out in a cold sweat, and my clothes were completely soaked.
With that experience at Snow Manor, I won't listen to anyone who tells me stories this time. Now that I think about it, I estimate that Jiaxian must have thought the same when he built the manor and this bridge, and only after such a test can he get to the ghost city of Fengdu.
So I didn't care so much and ran as hard as I could, but at the same time, the muscles all over my body were tearing and pulling, and the stinging pain like pins and needles hit my whole body.
I don't know how long I ran, suddenly I bumped into a person's body, and when I looked up, it turned out to be a happy monk, and I said to myself that this bridge was really annoying, so I pulled out the soul and was about to cut it down.
Le Xing Monk hurriedly suppressed me with a ghostly aura, "I'm real! Then the monk pointed behind me and told me to see for myself.
Half-convinced, I cautiously turned around, and a complete arch bridge spanned a rushing river, and I had really come!
I looked around and saw that only Yuan Feng and Le Xing Monk, as well as Chi Yan, were there, so I asked them, "What about the others?" ”
Le Xing Monk frowned tightly and said, "You kid is neat enough, except for Chiyan, you are the first to come, they haven't come here yet, everyone encounters different situations, it can only depend on personal ability!" ”
It seems that at this time, animals still live simply, and I stopped talking, and waited anxiously with the Le Xing monk.
At this time, Ling Xiao came out, he frowned tightly, and didn't say a word, but he wasn't as panicked as I was just now, and he didn't know what he had encountered.
Then the big head and Qianmo walked out, and as soon as the big head came out, he began to shout, "Oh, I'm really tired, why is this bridge so long!" ”
Qianmo was shocked, "Big head, you haven't encountered anything?" ”
"Nope." Big Head scratched his head and said.
Yuan Feng laughed, "It seems that this little brother is the most careless." ”
The next thing that came out was Qingxue, who was almost frozen with a popsicle and couldn't say a complete sentence coldly.
It took a long time for Yujie to come out, she was like she was scared stupid, she was trembling, and she didn't speak, I asked her what she saw, his teeth chattered, and he said slowly, "I see the devil again"
It seems that the demon has a great influence on Yujie.
Yuan Feng waited for us to slow down for a while and then continued to lead us forward, the scenery on the side of the road began to change, the trees became fewer, the light became stronger and stronger, and finally a bright light came down, we all closed our eyes involuntarily, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw the surrounding scene clearly.
We were standing on an asphalt road that was bustling with traffic. There are ordinary tiled houses, villas and small western-style buildings, shopping malls, restaurants and hotels all around.
However, the cars on the street are all horse-drawn carriages, and the style of the buildings is more like the thirties and forties of the last century, and the ghosts are dressed exactly like modern people. Wood fluttering bird blood.
Sure enough, as the boss once said to me, this is the same city as the world.
I observed the ghost people here again, and found that there are many ghost people whose ghost spirit is not as good as a few of us, isn't the people in Fengdu Ghost City more powerful?
So I asked Yuan Feng what was going on.
He told me that the ghost people who came here were not necessarily the strongest in the Three Realms, but they were all dedicated to cultivation and had some strengths, and most of them had their own ambitions, wanting to get a job in the ghost city of Fengdu. After arriving here, they also have to start from the bottom, slowly climb up, as long as they work hard enough, there will always be a day to achieve their ambitions.
After listening to him, I think these ghost people are a bit like the civil servants of the ghost world.
"And what position are you?" Yujie asked Yuan Feng curiously, "Just to pick up our envoy?" ”
Yuan Feng smiled faintly, "I'm from the Ministry of Justice." ”
