Chapter 7 The cliff is high

"Please think about it again, really, there is no way?" Beidou asked very seriously. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Cripple bumped into those very serious eyes, paced on the ground twice, and said, "Yes!"

Beidou looked up sharply.

"It's just that stealing life in this way is no different from death!"

Zhang lame closed the door and said, "Have you heard of the Netherworld?"

"Where does the soul go when a person dies?"

Zhang Cripple nodded and said, "That's another world, Xiong Lian can't find it, no one can find it, so I can accommodate you!" But when you enter that world, you are no longer a living person, and you can never return to this world!"

It didn't take long for Beidou to smile, just a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't help it, laughing from the heart, he finally saw Chen Ting, broke off the gold, the three of them were separated for only a few days, but it was like life and death parting and meeting again in the next life, what kind of happiness was that?

"Why did you get gray hair?"

"You can get out of bed?"

"Your injury, okay?!"

After a short reunion, Zhang Cripple sent Chen Ting away and Broken Biting Jin, Chen Ting and Broken Biting Jin were very puzzled, almost turned back three times in one step, and the two were almost about to do it, but Zhang Cripple's physical fitness was far less weak than he revealed, and even stronger than the two expected, the fists and feet of the two had almost no effect on him, and he couldn't even do anything to hinder Zhang Cripple's movements a little, and the two of them were invited out very politely and toughly.

"When they entered the underworld, they had to cross a dangerous place, and the two of them were so injured that they couldn't even walk steadily, so they couldn't go. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Even if they weren't hurt, they wouldn't be able to go, they were too weak, and that place wasn't something that ordinary people were willing to take." ”

"What then?"

"In order to recruit the strong, some offer real money, some take out secret methods and pills, and some promise fiefdoms, and the underworld gives a condition, you sell yourself to them, and they will give you what you want. Actually, I don't know much about the place you're going, I'm just a middleman. ”

At this time, it was close to noon, Beidou was silently drinking tea alone, and there was a sharp pain in the back of his head, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

When he woke up again, Beidou was in a confined space, his hands and feet were tied, and his eyes were dark, and he could only hear the sound of horses' hooves tuk tuk, and he was in the carriage.

The carriage stopped, and Beidou found himself falling, and kept falling, for an unknown amount of time.

With a glimmer of light in his head, he struggled to move forward, and finally, when he came out, it turned out to be in a cloth bag, and he found himself in a net.

I saw a village in the distance, where there was a ghostly fire, like a peaceful village beckoning to Beidou.

Why isn't there a little sound?

Why is it so dark here?

Beidou looked up, and the cliffs on both sides were close to each other at a high place, leaving only a narrow slit for the sun to pass through.

"Come on. A voice sounded in his ears, Beidou's hair stood steeply, and a dark shadow stood at the door of the village, and he didn't know when it appeared, just standing there alone.

Beidou knew that it was the place he was going to and the person he wanted to meet, so he walked forward, straight forward.

Beidou saw a very narrow river, there was no gurgling sound of running water, and the needle drop could be heard, so quiet that it was suffocating. It's windy and cold, and the sight is even more chilling.

The river is not deep, not to the waist of Beidou.

A flute sounded from the village gate, like a widow crying when it was soft, and like a child crying at a high pitch.

At some point, there was the sound of running water around me, and the lake, which was supposed to be silent, suddenly came alive, as if many people were swimming towards it.

Then, Beidou saw a figure slowly standing up from the water and walking this way, the moment the figure looked up, Beidou only felt cold all over his body, he had no face!

More and more water corpses stood up, closing the encirclement little by little, Beidou quickened his pace, and the river somehow became heavier, and it took a lot of effort to lift every step.

A pale hand grabbed Beidou's arm, and more and more hands grabbed Beidou's hands, feet, neck, and waist.

Beidou suddenly felt something on his neck sliding back and forth, and glanced at it with his peripheral vision, and it was a blue-purple tongue!

A human face quickly appeared on the face that was close to the nose, smiling at Beidou, as if welcoming another person to become their partner.

There are more and more such faces, firmly grasping Beidou, Beidou walks very slowly, and he is dragged.

The faces of the water ghosts are different, some of the mouths are very long and cover the noses, some of the eyes are between the mouths and noses, or the eyes are adjusted up and down, blinking.

The strength of the water corpse is very large, which is comparable to the strength of Beidou by a line. But walking slowly is not the point, but a trance, a moment of distraction, even if you are slightly frightened by a grimace that emerges from the bottom of the water with a spare mouth, and the strength on your legs is a little slower, you will be dragged into the water by the water ghosts, which is the most terrifying.

Beidou walked very seriously, every step but to seek a steady word, he stared at the shore, and only did one thing, that is, to move forward.

After going ashore, Beidou looked back, the river surface was not rippling, there was no ripple, how could there be the shadow of half a water ghost?

Beidou's feet were soft, not because of physical exhaustion, but because he was really scared, and he consumed too much of his mind, and once the tense nerves were loosened, it was rolling tiredness.

"I'm the lead, come with me. ”

This person's appearance is ordinary, but between the words, his face is stiff to the extreme, and there is not even normal facial muscle relaxation.

There is no fence, there is no fence, and there is a stone tablet erected next to the path with two characters engraved on it, Ghost Gate. The glyphs are very jerky, and each stroke does not look like a whole, like a messy matchstick placed there.

Beidou asked, "Isn't this the underworld?"

"This is the ghost gate, not the underworld, or just the tip of the iceberg on the periphery of the underworld. I haven't even seen the underworld, it's the heavy land of the underworld, how can we soldiers and pawns see it?"

Most of the houses here are made of stone, and the stakes are surrounded by a yard. Some people are warming up by the campfire, some people are drying clothes, there are people walking by along the way, and there are people crossing sideways, but no one has taken a second look at Beidou, even if Beidou feels that his status is not low, no one cares about the guide next to him.

No one knows anyone, or rather, everyone is withdrawn and doesn't want to care for anyone.

There is a square with a lot of people and stalls, like a bazaar, but people rush by, and their eyes catch the faces of a few people, and they are so stiff, like the walking dead. Even in front of the booth, there was only a faint sound of communication that could be heard by the parties.

The square extends in all directions, and when you get here, you can see some magnificent palaces, which are countless times taller than the private houses along the way.

The two crossed the square, walked up from a winding path, there is a slope here, there is a temple on it, and immediately a monument on the winding path, three words, leading to the temple.

There were two people coming out of the temple, one of them was dressed in the same clothes as the guide next to him, and the other had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the muscles on his face had the most basic contraction.

The moment Beidou and this living person looked at each other, they suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.

In the temple, Beidou saw a person, like the owner of this place, he pulled out a case file and asked: "The surname is Han, the name is Beidou, he is fifteen years old, he lives in Candlefire City Aratian Lane, he killed twelve city guards four days ago, and now he is wanted, am I right?"

"Yes. ”

"Is there anything you'd like to ask, little ghost?"

Beidou asked for some basic rules.

Master: "Serve us, everything in the previous yang world has nothing to do with you, even if your biological parents stand in front of you, it is also the fate of your previous life, you will no longer be you, but a soldier here, you have no name, no past and no future, you sell your life to us, even if you want to climb the chopping board to make a piece of fish and meat, you have to be meticulous in execution, do you want to be careful?"

The guide on the side smiled and said, "When you get to this place, can you still say no?"

The corners of the master's mouth raised slightly, as if he was smiling, as if confirming the sentence of the introduction.

Beidou nodded.

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Beidou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "I have three brothers, and I am wanted together, can you...?"

The owner of the temple said: "I have a rule here, calling one life for another, and if you ask for your life, you can only save one person's life for you." ”

Beidou was very lonely. Just when it was difficult to make a choice, the messenger on the side said, "Didn't someone make an exception in the past?"

The owner of the temple: "I remember what you said." You crossed the river of sunken corpses when you came, and you must have learned how powerful it is. If you can pass the level again, you will be allowed a chance to save people, and if you can pass two places, you will be given two chances. ”

The messenger on the side said: "It's rare to see an adult so reasonable, don't you thank you?"

Beidou bowed deeply.

"Even if it is those Jiangyang giants, the strongmen of the green forest are here, it is not easy to get through one dangerous place, and if you want to cross two dangerous places in a row, it is one in ten thousand, let alone a child. ”

Beidou's eyes were very serious, and he didn't mean to back down at all.

The owner of the temple waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

To the west of the village is a cliff, the rock wall is rugged, the strange rocks are tightly clothed, Beidou looks up, and a hundred meters above his head, there is a cave, and the red light of the bonfire is particularly bright in the dark.

The messenger said: "This place is called Moonlight Cliff, and you will know what kind of danger there is in it, and all you have to do is to climb to that cave before dawn." ”

The ray of sunlight at the intersection of the cliffs on both sides of the head has also disappeared, thinking that it is already night outside, Zhang Cripple said that he sent people to the guards before noon, thinking of this, Beidou was a little shaken, if so, then what is the meaning of standing here at this time?

One more minute of delay, the meaning of Beidou standing here is a little more vain, and the deadline he set for himself is to pass through two dangerous places before dawn.

At first, everything went smoothly, the weight of the mountain caused the rock at the bottom to be hard, as long as the convex rocks and cracks were the fulcrum, it was not difficult to climb, and in the blink of an eye it was ten meters away. From here, it is not always possible to find a hard fulcrum, and when necessary, you can only borrow a dagger to dig a hole to use as a handle for hand and foot support.

In the blink of an eye, it was twenty meters away, equivalent to a five-story building, with a snap, a stone in his hand was broken, at this moment, Beidou's heart fell and fell, as if he had been splashed with a basin of cold water, fortunately, he climbed very carefully, and never hung the weight of his body on a hand, and maintained his body balance at this moment.

Such a fake stone is not an exception, after thirty meters, it is encountered frequently, and the number of times is too much, and it gradually becomes numb.

It is extremely difficult to suppress the fear in your heart and keep your mind sharp during the process of climbing with bare hands. Forty meters away, with a click, he began to fall, falling to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Beidou let out a muffled cry from his mouth, and he arched his back and stabbed the dagger deep into the cliff.

At the bottom of the cliff, Beidou looked at the bonfire outside the cave above his head, and it suddenly swelled in Beidou's pupils, as if to say, are you coming?
