Chapter 44: Huangquan Road Meets a Mysterious Man
Remember, I have only one hour with auspiciousness, and after an hour, whether I find it or not, I must return immediately.
After listening to Gu Yuan's advice, I nodded and remembered, Gu Yuan was still a little uneasy and said: "Whether you find it or not, if you encounter danger, ring the bell, I will go directly to the underworld to pick you up." ”
Although his speech was still as cold as ever, it was obvious that he was worried.
I stepped forward and hugged his waist and comforted, "I'll go back when I go." ”
The words were closed, and Jixiang took my body around, and the two of us went down to the underworld and arrived at the ghost gate.
It turned out that the underworld was not the pitch black I imagined, but the gloomy feeling that looked like a rainy day, except for the depression, everything else was fine.
I looked towards the ghost gate, the ghost gate is so big, it leads to the world and goes down to hell, and this glorious gate looks quite magnificent.
I never thought I would be able to visit here while I was alive.
Jixiang did not rush to open the door, but set up a soul collection banner at the door.
This is to prevent souls from rushing out in large numbers, and the Soul Banner can take them into it.
When everything was ready, Ji Xiang lit a yellow talisman and told the ancient abyss in the world to cast a spell to open the door.
I waited quietly for two minutes, and the scarlet ghost door opened a gap.
A strong yin wind rushed down the gap.
The soul collection banner was blown by the yin wind, and the copper bell shook with the wind, and the jingle bell broke the tranquility of the underworld. Ji Xiang sits cross-legged under the Soul Collecting Banner, which rotates above his head.
"Little brother, go and come back quickly, remember to enter the underworld and don't speak, so that no soul will notice you." I had to order, and I had the courage to squeeze in through the crack in the door of the ghost gate.
The moment I first stepped into Huangquan Road, a withered hand suddenly put on my shoulder, and I only felt a tingle all over my body.
I gagged my mouth with my hands, trying not to make a sound, and slowly turned my head, only to find that I was holding my shoulder by a blind man whose eyes had been plucked out entirely, and two empty bloody holes on his emaciated pale face, which looked very terrible.
I pressed my back molars and held my body back from moving.
The gouged-out ghost just slapped me on the shoulder, then slowly removed his hand and turned away.
I guess he was in the wrong place.
I still stood still, not daring to move, until he was some distance away from me, and my body relaxed. It seems that he sensed that the ghost door was open, so he stumbled into me.
As far as the eye could see, there were already quite a few souls who felt the ghost gate open and began to walk slowly towards it.
My cat bent down and went up in the opposite direction of the ghost, looking down for the critters I could see.
I didn't notice it outside the ghost gate before, but it turned out that it was very, very cold inside, not just cold, but the kind of cold that was damp and piercing.
I looked down with a blue lantern and looked down for all kinds of small animals, and after walking for a while, I found a small rabbit in front of me.
She was lying next to the flower on the other side in a daze.
I was so excited that I ran over, covered my hands directly, and clasped the little rabbit in the palm of my hand. It's so small, it's about half the size of a palm, and it's super cute.
Once you grab it, gently slip it into your pocket and continue looking for it.
The further I go inside, the colder it gets, although I am a soul now, but this kind of coldness is still a little unbearable for a living soul like me, and there is white gas all around me, as if my soul is frozen.
Just as I caught the ninth critter, I felt like I was going to die.
There is only one missing, and if you endure it, you will definitely be able to find it.
I put my hand on the blue lantern, thinking that there was a candle in it, which would keep me warm, but who would have thought that the flame of the candle had been wrapped in ice ballast, and there was no heat at all.
I couldn't stand it anymore, my body was like being soaked in ice water, and I was shivering.
Slowly walked to the side of the road, squatted in the flowers on the other side, watched the souls float by one by one, and was very anxious, wanting to give up but not giving up.
If I call Gu Yuan to pick me up now, then these nine little animals will be caught in vain, and I don't want Yan Lin to become mentally retarded after being resurrected.
Until I saw something moving in the flowers on the other side.
I was overjoyed in my heart, and I didn't care whether it was cold or not, and with a little footstep, my body soared into the air, passing through those souls and directly to the other side.
Sure enough, there was a small white snake the thickness of a little thumb among the flowers on the other side.
At the moment he was lying in the grass insects, motionless, and seemed to be frozen.
It's pitiful, little white snake, don't be afraid, I'll take you out.
I leaned down quietly, and was about to reach it with both hands, but it was grabbed by the other hand.
I anxiously wanted to get back to the little white snake, and as soon as I looked up at the person, I was stunned the next second.
The girl who was standing in front of me fiddling with the snake had the same face as me, except that she was dressed in a Hanfu and had a lily bun on her head, and no one was playing with the little white snake as if no one was around.
I was about to go up to her and ask her for the little white snake, but there was a pleasant boy behind me.
"That's not yours, are you looking for this?"
I looked back and saw a young man with silver hair and blue eyes standing behind me.
I saw him, handsome facial features, tall and tall, dressed in white casual clothes, which lined him fresh and clean, and a pair of blue eyes, as if carrying the galaxy.
A pair of fluffy white ears grew out of his silver hair, and a big snow-white tail behind him, just like the nine-tailed fox male protagonist who came out of the cartoon, but he only had one tail.
I looked down at the little fox in his hand, not knowing whether to take it or not.
Seeing the girl tuck the little white snake into her sleeve, I moved my steps and wanted to come back. "That doesn't belong to you, this one is yours." The boy's voice is like a silver bell ringing in a valley, with ethereal inspiration.
I paused and watched the girl leave with the little white snake, and I didn't know why I felt sad, as if my most beloved thing had been snatched away.
It wasn't until the girl completely disappeared from the road that I came back to my senses. Picking up the bag in my hand, the boy put the little fox in my pocket.
I looked down and counted, no more, no less, exactly ten.
I bowed my head to the boy, reluctantly looked in the direction where the girl had disappeared, and went back the way I came.
The young man in white had been following me, and I didn't speak, and he didn't speak, and I didn't know if he was friend or foe, so I had to keep walking.
Just as I was about to reach the door, my body was completely cold and I couldn't move.
Even the strength to raise his hand and ring the bell is gone. The boy was still standing behind me and looking at me curiously, as if he didn't quite understand why I was cold.
After a moment of relaxation, I propped myself up again and squeezed through the crack in the door.
