Chapter 45: The Ghost Gate Closes
"The future is terrifying!" After the orphan woman praised Li Xuyang, she asked again, "Who introduced you?"
After Li Xuyang thought about it, he said, "Wang smiled. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Because from beginning to end, only Wang Xiaokai mentioned to him about going to Yin, so he could only say Wang Xiaokai's name. Although I met someone inexplicably a few days ago, and it was also the person who hinted to himself here. But who is he? Li Xuyang didn't know, so he still said Wang Xiaokai.
"Oh, it turned out to be him, is he okay?" After thinking about it, the lonely woman suddenly remembered who Wang Xiaokai was, and asked about Wang Xiaokai's situation again.
"He ......," Li Xuyang hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
"Could it be that he is already gone?" the lonely woman saw Li Xuyang hesitating, so she raised her voice and said.
"Yes, Lonely Woman. Li Xuyang nodded with sadness on his face and said.
"Well, that's it. The orphan woman waved her hand.
Although the orphan woman said this, Li Xuyang could see that the orphan woman was very sad. Because of the tears in the corners of her eyes, it has proved that the relationship between her and Wang Xiaokai is not unusual.
"Are you here to walk in the shadows?" the orphan woman quickly got out of her sadness and got to the point.
"Yes, it's true. I am the undertaker, but I don't know how to become a mourner, so I want to go through the yin to find my ancestor Li Tianyang and ask him how he became a mourner. Li Xuyang said.
"What? are you the queen of the Li family? and the queen of the funeral?" the lonely woman was taken aback when she heard Li Xuyang's words.
"yes. Lonely woman, what's wrong?" Li Xuyang didn't feel wrong, and he wouldn't have thought that the lonely woman would be so surprised.
"Oh my God, after there was a mourner, I didn't expect the Li family to be exterminated!" The lonely woman's voice trembled a little, and her mood seemed even more excited.
"Boy, I said ugly things ahead, whether you can find your ancestor Li Tianyang, I can't guarantee it. But I will definitely do my best to help you get out of the yin, and in the process of going through the yin, I will definitely keep you safe and sound," the orphan woman said.
"Okay, but what should I pay attention to during the yin walk?" Li Xuyang asked, but he didn't expect the lonely woman to agree so quickly.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, tonight happens to be the 14th of July, and it will be relatively simple to go to the clouds. However, it may be a little troublesome to come back, but I will assist you. The lonely woman said, and then went into the back room, and went to prepare the things that needed to go to the yin.
Li Xuyang let out a long breath, his mood at this time was very bumpy, and he didn't know whether he was excited or should feel unlucky. Excitedly, there is finally hope to know how to become a mourner. Unfortunately, the living can not come back alive after entering the underworld.
Difu, when it comes to this word, the first thing people can go to is hell. The so-called eighteen layers of hell are rumored to be more painful and difficult than one layer at a time.
"Are you ready?"
Li Xuyang was still thinking outside, and the orphan woman shouted in the back room.
"Alright. Li Xuyang let out a sigh of relief and walked into the inner room.
In the back room, the orphan woman changed her outfit, and the clothes she wore looked like paper figures. Holding a bell in one hand and a mulberry branch in the other, he shook the bell in his hand and said to Li Xuyang, "Take off your clothes." ”
Li Xuyang looked at the orphan woman hesitantly, and then at himself, but in the end he didn't do it because he was embarrassed.
"Take it off, I don't have to be ashamed, what scene haven't I seen?" The lonely woman was afraid that Li Xuyang was a little embarrassed, so she said like this.
"Here, after taking it off, put it on by the way. The lonely woman took out a dress similar to the one she was wearing, all black in color, and the black was a little shiny.
As soon as Li Xuyang saw this dress, he immediately stopped taking off his clothes, and the lonely woman was holding a shroud in her hand, wasn't it the shroud sold in her store?
"Don't look at it, do as I tell you, hurry. The lonely woman urged.
"Oooh. Li Xuyang was afraid that the lonely woman would be angry, so he took off his clothes neatly.
When Li Xuyang was about to wear a shroud, the orphan woman stopped him, but took a mulberry branch and dipped the water in it from the bowl on the table next to him, and sprinkled it on Li Xuyang.
"What is this?" Li Xuyang didn't dare to move, but just asked the lonely woman who was still sprinkling water. But Li Xuyang asked about some unpleasant smells, which were very pungent, as if he had smelled them from somewhere before, but he couldn't remember them for a while.
"This is the product of stirring rootless water and corpse oil. ”
As soon as the orphan woman finished speaking, Li Xuyang immediately jumped back, and then said in shock, "Corpse oil?"
"Don't worry, these corpse oils are processed and won't have any side effects on you. And sprinkling corpse oil on your body is to be able to block the popularity of your body, so that you can not be haunted by ghosts. The orphan woman pulled Li Xuyang back, and then explained.
When Li Xuyang heard the orphan woman say this, he was immediately relieved, and also said, "Spread more." ”
"No matter how much you sprinkle, it's useless, I warn you, this corpse oil will only last for a maximum of seven days. But you must know that an hour on earth is a day underground. Also, a lot of things happen along the way, so you just have to be careful. And I'll tie a red rope around your finger in a moment, and once you go down, the red rope will disappear, but it's still there. As soon as you come back, just move your fingers, and I can sense it here, and then I will pick you up. ”
"Also, when you enter the underworld, you must talk less, and don't talk if you can. ”
Li Xuyang asked curiously, "Why?"
"For the living speak with anger, but the dead do not. As soon as you speak, you will expose yourself, and at that time, I don't need to say more about the dangers that will be there, right?"
"Well, got it. Li Xuyang nodded.
After the orphan woman sprinkled the corpse oil and water, she let Li Xuyang lie on the bed. Three incense sticks were lit at the position of Li Xuyang's head, high in the middle and low on the sides. Four candles were lit at each of the four corners of the bed.
"Close your eyes. ”
After Li Xuyang closed his eyes, he only heard the words in the mouth of the lonely woman, and he didn't know what she was talking about.
According to the Yin walker, the steps of walking in the Yin are generally very cumbersome, because it is necessary to secretly open the ghost door and put the soul of the living down. This has become a very dangerous and hard errand, but Li Xuyang is more fortunate that it coincides with today's Midyear Festival, the day when the ghost gate is opened, so there is half of his strength left.
Li Xuyang, who was lying on the bed, didn't know how long it was, but when he opened his eyes again, he found that it was pitch black all around. Now he finally understood what it meant to be unable to reach out and not see his five fingers, and the black could not see where the road was.
Just when Li Xuyang was confused and didn't know where to go, the voice of the lonely woman came into his ears.
"I'll give you a guiding light, you follow it, and when you reach the Ghost Gate, the light will hang above the Ghost Gate. Sure enough, if you come back, move your right index finger, and I'll let the guide light bring you back. Remember, you only need seven hours, and within seven hours, you have to come back, or you won't come back. ”
"Remember, you have to come back within seven hours. ”
As soon as the lonely woman's voice fell, the guiding lamp staggered forward, and Li Xuyang hurriedly chased after her.
I don't know how long I walked, the guide light continued to float forward in front of him, and Li Xuyang always followed behind the guide light, but he suddenly found one thing, that is, after walking for so long, he didn't feel tired at all.
Li Xuyang subconsciously touched his heart with his hand, and then suddenly thought, "It turns out that I don't have a heartbeat!"
No heartbeat? No heartbeat? No heartbeat? Am I going to die?
When Li Xuyang was thinking nonsense, the guide lamp suddenly stopped in mid-air, did not continue to move forward, but stayed in the air for a while, and then went up, directly hanging in the corner of an archway.
Li Xuyang looked up, the archway was very similar to the ordinary archway, but there was no pillar to support the upper half, and it was completely suspended in the air. On the two corners of the torii, there are two wooden sculptures that look like eagles, their wings spread, as if they are flying in the sky.
And in the middle of the archway, there are three big characters written on it, "Ghost Gate".
When Li Xuyang saw these three words, his heart became a little uncontrollable, and he simply felt a trace of fear. This time, I came to the real underworld, not the five-turn soul locking bureau set up by Ma Jiu before. This is a place that everyone is afraid of, but he has come.
Li Xuyang just wanted to take a breath, and suddenly thought that he was a soul and had no gas. But just as he was about to step forward and pass through the ghost gate, an eagle roared.
This hawk cry frightened Li Xuyang, if he hadn't had no heart, Li Xuyang would have been really frightened.
Looking at the sound, I saw that the two wooden eagles on the archway were alive. The living eagle was staring at Li Xuyang with straight eyes, which startled him again.
Li Xuyang was already frightened and didn't dare to move, and after the eagle looked at it for a while, its wings moved a few times and flew directly towards Li Xuyang, the speed was staggering.
In just a few seconds, the eagle had already begun to hover over Li Xuyang's head, but Li Xuyang kept his head down, not to mention that he dared to move, but he didn't dare to look at the eagle.
After the eagle hovered over Li Xuyang's head for a while, it returned to the torii again, and then changed back to the appearance of a wood carving.
"Ahh Li Xuyang's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he took a step forward gently, seeing that the eagle would not come over, but after the first step, there was nothing abnormal.
Then there is the second step, the third step......
Finally, Li Xuyang moved into the inside from the outside of the ghost gate little by little, and as soon as he entered, he saw a road full of flowers on both sides, this road is very narrow, almost a meter wide, but the flowers on the side of the road are blooming very beautifully.
On the left side of the road, there is a stone monument that reads "Huangquan Road." There is also a column of small letters next to it, which reads, "The flowers bloom on the other side."
"Could it be that the side of the Yellow Spring Road is the legendary Flower on the other side?"
