Chapter 340: Where the Afterlife Stone Is
Without any references, I could feel that I was hungry every once in a while. Almost as far as I had reached the foggy place I had seen before, the feeling of obvious hunger appeared four times, two times closer and two times closer, with a longer interval between the two times.
I feel that this is a feeling formed by the human biological clock, even in the state of the soul.
In this way, the first two times I arrived were supposed to be noon and dinner, and the third and fourth times were breakfast and lunch, which means that I had already spent more than a whole day when I got here.
The foggy road ahead, after a closer look, found the fork in the road that Yang Mufan said before.
One to the left, zigzag and still endless, and the other to the right disappeared into the fog ahead, and it was impossible to see how far it was.
I don't know how much time it will take to reach the afterlife, but there is no trace of the afterlife! If this continues, I'm afraid that I may have exceeded the seven-day limit before I reached the vicinity of the next stone. Thinking of this, I didn't dare to stay for half a minute, and continued to run quickly towards the stone steps in the fog ahead.
The fog here is very thick, and when I run over, I can move the flow of that thick fog, and it will form a whirlpool behind me. Coupled with the nearby dots of cyan light, the color of this air flow is dark cyan, which looks very wonderful.
After that, it was a very long process in this dense fog. Also, due to the dense fog, only a small area around it can be seen. To be honest, walking in this place, if it weren't for the change in the bluestone steps under your feet, you wouldn't feel yourself moving forward at all.
From time to time, I feel like I'm being hit by a ghost.
After that, there were two more starvations, and the time between them was also relatively long, which was probably caused by the biological clock of dinner and the next day's breakfast. From this, it can be judged that from the appearance near the pavilion where Yang Mufan was, to the current location, it should be almost the third day, so that there are less than two days left before the previous seven-day limit, and at this moment, I still haven't seen the afterlife stone.
Outside of the first time, the feeling of hunger has begun to become less pronounced than the last, hunger is a feeling brought by the flesh, and perhaps my soul has gradually begun to adapt to the underworld.
This is definitely not a good phenomenon, and the more you get used to it, the more difficult it will be to resurrect your soul at that time.
Thinking of this, I was a little anxious, if I was completely left in the underworld like this, then my grandfather, my father, and my great-grandfather's plan all along would be ruined.
I must not let such a thing be discovered, the afterlife stone must be found!
I didn't think much about it, I kept running along the bluestone steps, and I don't know how long later, the bluestone steps stopped at one place, and here, I could see many small blue fireballs floating in the air, like ghosts, floating aimlessly.
It looked like a cliff in front of it, and I walked a few steps and looked closely, and I realized that it was true, and the bluestone steps of the cliff also came to an abrupt end in that place.
There is no way, how is it possible?
This was completely unexpected, why was this the result?
Just as I was surprised, I saw a figure in the fog in front of me. In the thick fog, the figure only flickered by, and I immediately walked towards it, this time seeing a person floating in the air in front of me.
Looking closely, waiting for the thick fog to gradually dissipate, I was stunned for a moment, and a cyan flame slowly drifted by, finding the face of the figure in the air opposite.
I was stunned, isn't that my face?
Could it be Yang Mufan, he has already arrived here? But in the next second, I noticed that something was not right, and the person floating in the air opposite was different from the clothes Yang Mufan was wearing. Moreover, when I made a move, the figure on the other side did the same.
It immediately dawned on me that this place was something like a giant mirror. The man I saw was just my shadow, but against the background of these clouds, I couldn't see the reflection of the steps below, and it really looked like I was floating in mid-air.
I walked that way, and when I got closer, I realized that it wasn't a cliff at all, and that there was indeed a mirror-like presence in front of me. Moreover, the mirror was so big that it seemed to have no edge, and all around it disappeared between the thick fog flows.
It's really strange, how can there be such a big mirror here, is it possible that the ghost enters the underworld and has to come here to tidy up the clothes?
I shook my head to stop myself from thinking, there was no time to waste now.
In addition to this mirror, I also saw a huge stone monument on the other side. However, the stone tablet was erected on the other side, and it was impossible to see what words were on it because of the thick fog.
But when I saw the stele, I was a little excited, maybe the stele was the afterlife stone?
Jumping down the stairs from this side, and then going up the natural stone steps over there, you will see a bluestone stele. There is indeed text on the bluestone stele, but I recognize the font on it, it is yin, and I don't know what it means. However, I took a half step back, and I saw that the stone tablet was also reflected in the huge mirror over there.
The one inside the mirror is different, and there are three blood-red characters written on it in traditional Chinese: Afterlife Stone!
I immediately walked over to that side, so it was really the Afterlife Stone. However, I looked left and right, this stone tablet is nothing special, staring at it for a while, is there a corner of the future like Yang Mufan said, what is going on, Yang Mufan shouldn't lie to me, right?
After looking at it for a while, I still didn't understand, and I even closed my eyes and meditated, but nothing came of it. When I opened my eyes, I suddenly felt a twinkle and saw a blue flame rushing towards me.
I hurriedly dodged to the side, and the cyan flames burst into the air, but I didn't stop, and rushed at me again.
And this time, the cyan flame was very fast, and with the stone tablet next to me, there was no way to dodge. Unsteady on his feet, he fell and ate when he stumbled.
However, no matter how much I fell in this state of soul, it didn't hurt so much.
That is, when I was about to get up, I saw a strange phenomenon. Because of the fall, my hand touched the mirror-like plane in front of me. The strange thing is that even though I sprayed it, I just felt as if I had touched a stream of air, and my right hand actually penetrated into the mirror.
In this moment, I understood something.
I was distracted by my own preconceived notion that the stele did not represent the afterlife stone itself, but that the huge mirror in front of me was the afterlife stone. I can't see the edge now, because of these thick fogs, maybe when these thick fogs clear, I can see the whole picture of this afterlife.
That's right, it must be like this, I felt excited in my heart, I stood up, dodged the blue and dark flame that had just hit me, and with a dodge, the whole person entered the mirror.
Looking back, I can see the stone tablet outside, but it is the same as what I saw on the outside just now, and there are three blood-red characters on the top of the traditional Chinese character "Afterlife Stone".
Of course, there is another stone monument next to me that I am standing on, and here, there is no stone monument next to me.
For a moment, I had a strange feeling that I was in the afterlife stone now, or was I already in the afterlife stone just now?
I shook my head to keep myself from being confused, and then looked ahead.
Ahead is a bluestone staircase that leads into a mist.
Since he has entered the Afterlife Stone, he naturally wants to see the corner of the future that Yang Mufan said. Everyone wonders what their future holds, and so do I, and even when I find the Afterlife, I'm very excited.
Walking down the bluestone stairs, it seems as if you want to go back the way you came. However, I clearly felt that the time spent walking in that fog was not long, at least much shorter than before.
When I cleared the layers of fog and walked out, I felt soft under my feet.
