Chapter 39: Death to the Passer
On the ground, night fell again.
Uncle Liu stood alone in front of the house, his slender figure seemed so lonely.
During the day, the row of houses was full of people, but now he was the only one left.
A night breeze blew, and the candle flame in the room behind him suddenly went out, leaving only half a cold moon hanging high in the sky.
"Do you regret it?"
A voice suddenly came from the darkness behind him, Uncle Liu didn't look back, and said slowly: "I can't say that I regret it, but the longer I live, the more I want to die." ”
"The dead still want to come back to life, but you want to die?" the voice sounded again in the darkness.
"It's just a walking corpse, but making up this living lie may have been a mistake in the first place. Uncle Liu suddenly looked very tired, leaning against the door, looking at the woods that had been shrouded in darkness, and he was depressed.
"Alright, I'm going to sleep. Uncle Liu turned around and walked into the house, even though he didn't need sleep at all.
The moonlight shifted, revealing the figure of the man who spoke in the darkness.
A chubby face, a protruding beer belly, a cheap stall, and a trademark lewd smile.
The person who was talking to Uncle Liu just now was the first Zhao Shi to disappear among the crowd!
Zhao Shi glanced up at the sky, the night was deeper, the moonlight was knees, and there was no sound.
I saw him chuckle.
"I'm afraid a lot of people are going to lose sleep tonight. ”
......
The person who was about to lose sleep in Zhao Shi's words naturally did not refer to Uncle Liu, but to Ning Xiu, who was still wandering in the underground palace at this time.
A cemetery.
Luozi looked coldly at the demons that appeared in front of him.
A crisp sword roared.
The cyan long sword behind him burst out of its sheath, and a dazzling blue light circulated on the blade, and the flying sword slashed through the air in an arc and returned to its sheath.
The demons around him have long since vanished.
He glanced faintly and continued to walk forward.
The gaze is firm and cold.
......
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
Shouts of killing erupted.
Qiu Wanli looked up at the group of Yin soldiers in front of him who were rushing towards him, tightened the steel knife in his hand, his whole body was full of murder, and his eyes were full of determination.
Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his knife and slashed at it.
......
"What the hell is going on, why does the Heavenly Master Talisman given by Cheng Man not work?" Liu Xiangjie looked at the man who was constantly approaching him in front of him, his eyes full of fear.
I saw a pale and bloodless man, dragging an axe, approaching Liu Xiangjie step by step, and finally forced him to a dead end.
The axe man raised the giant axe in his hand, and the strong wind made the talisman on his forehead hunt.
"Don't!"
"Ahh
Red blood splattered, and screams resounded throughout the tomb.
......
As Liu Xiangjie's good friend, Taoist priest Zhou Chengman was hiding in a dark corner at this time, hiding in the enchantment he had arranged.
He looked up as a procession of relatives passed by with an expression of disbelief on his face.
He could see clearly, the man sitting on the headless white horse was clearly Wu Tao!
......
After eating the ghost food prepared by the ghost mother's hand and contaminating some of her breath, ordinary ghosts didn't dare to approach Ning to rest at all.
After that, he didn't encounter a ghost as powerful as the ghost bride, so the journey was quite smooth.
It's just that the more he goes in and down, the deeper the doubts in his heart.
Because until now, there has not been any content recorded in the "Peach Blossom Spring", no village houses, no villagers.
I don't know how long I walked, the downward slope finally began to slow down slowly, and the tomb road became wider and wider, but Ning Xiu's face became more and more solemn.
"Looks like it's coming. ”
A white light lit up, and Ning Xiu walked out of the tomb, and what appeared in front of him was a river.
A large river that is wide and deep.
It's just that there is no water in the river, and the exposed riverbed is bright red as blood, which is shocking.
There is a stone tablet in front of the river, on which a few blood-colored characters are written:
Taoyuan Township!
Ning Xiu stepped forward and found that there was a line of fly-headed small letters under the three blood characters of "Taoyuan Township", which read: "Those who pass die and those who come out live." ”
"Is it said that the river will die, or is it that only the dead can cross?" Ning Xiu looked at the stone tablet, his brows furrowed slightly.
Taoyuan Township is close at hand, but the question is whether to go in or not?
From the time you entered the illusion to the present, almost all you have encountered are dangers, so it is very likely that the past will be even more dangerous.
He glanced back at the way he had come.
At this time, Ning Xiu is like a rope standing above the abyss, it is dangerous to walk over, it is dangerous to stop in the middle, it is dangerous to tremble, and it is dangerous to stop.
Just as he was hesitating about the words on the stone tablet, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him.
I saw a headless white horse suddenly run out from the other end of the tomb and appear in front of Ning Xiu.
It was Wu Tao who was sitting immediately, but his state was obviously very abnormal at this time, not only was his body rotten in many places, but even his face was crawling with maggots. And there is an impure ghost aura all over his body.
"I've finally found you!" Wu Tao looked at Ning Xiu and grinned.
"Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, why don't you go and accompany your lady well, why are you looking for me?" Ning Xiu looked up at Wu Tao, who was now neither a ghost nor a ghost, and chuckled.
"Laugh now, I'll see if you can laugh later, I'm right, lady. ”
Before he could finish speaking, a red shadow struck from the depths of the tomb, as fast as a red lightning.
"Whatever Xiang Gong says is right. ”
At the same time as the charming voice sounded, a red dress floated in, and it happened to fall in Wu Tao's arms, who would it be if it wasn't the ghost bride?
"Now I see where else you can run?"
Wu Tao laughed evilly, stretched out his hand and waved the horsewhip, only to see the headless white horse neigh, and rushed straight towards Ning Xiu!
Ning Xiu took a deep look at Wu Tao, turned around and jumped into the river.
From the moment he saw the ghost bride appear, he had already given up the confrontation, because it was undoubtedly looking for death. And there is at least a glimmer of life when entering the Peach Blossom Spring.
"Xianggong, stop, we can't cross that river!"
Seeing the headless white horse continuing to rush forward, and seeing that it was about to enter the river of blood, the ghost bride screamed in a hurry.
Needless to say, Wu Tao, who was already half-human and half-ghost at this time, also felt the threat from the Blood River, and hurriedly grabbed the reins and stopped.
He was on the shore, looking at Ning Xiu standing in the river, his face was gloomy and terrifying.
Ning Xiu glanced back and saw that Wu Tao and the others had not caught up, so he turned around and walked forward.
There was not a drop of water in the river, but Ning Xiu could clearly feel the wetness under his feet, sticky, like blood.
Then he felt his heartbeat begin to slow down suddenly, his blood began to coagulate, and his vitality began to gradually "disappear".
