Chapter 48: Hades
The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.
In the courtyard, a group of catchers were looking at Granny Ma in front of them, listening to her say the horror of the underworld.
Lin Shan frowned, "Can't you summon spirits?" Bring the soul up from hell, we ask. ”
Qi Zixiao had seen this way before.
When Granny Ma heard this, she let out a hoarse laugh, like a night owl, "Hehe, the spirit conjuring is only known to Taoist masters, and it is necessary to die a normal death, this girl was skinned to death, resentment soars to the sky, if the soul is still in the world, it has already turned into a ghost, and only the underworld can accommodate this kind of existence, not to mention that the old woman will not summon spirits, even if she can, she will not do it......"
Hearing this, a group of people shuddered in their hearts.
"The time is almost up, you can decide for yourself, it's still too late to leave, and the old woman doesn't need to take risks."
Granny Ma glanced at the sky and spoke indifferently.
Looking at her like this, it seems that she wants them to leave.
"Okay, we agree, if you enter the underworld, you will enter the underworld."
Qi Zixiao opened his mouth with a smile.
Lin Shan on the side seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Qi Zixiao.
"Okay, then come on."
Granny Ma nodded, turned around and walked towards the room behind her, and said as she walked, "I saw the two white lanterns at the door, they are guiding you forward, and the soul has entered the underworld, only by carrying the lantern can you see the road ahead, and at the same time protect you from being attacked by some evil spirits......"
"And if you want to enter the underworld, you need to use the things of the yin, this coffin has just buried a dead person before, the old woman spent money to buy it, and found a coffin for the other party again, therefore, entering this coffin, the yang energy on the living person will be compressed to the extreme, with the help of the girl's relics as a guide, you can enter the underworld......"
Looking at the pitch-black coffin, Qi Zixiao and the others all felt that their scalps were numb, only the dead entered the coffin, and the living entered the coffin, and this was the first time they saw it.
"These paper money is the money for the soul of the dead, if you receive the money, it will not embarrass you, the candle will guide you on the way back, once you are lost in the underworld, the lantern is broken, this is your last hope......"
Granny Ma's gloomy voice sounded.
"Have you figured it out, who will go to hell?"
Lin Shan's throat kept rolling, looking at the pitch-black coffin, and there was a cold sweat on his forehead.
His qualifications and age are older than Qi Zixiao, and he naturally needs to do such things as entering the underworld.
However, Qi Zixiao smiled and stopped Lin Shan, "Brother Lin, this is what I promised, so naturally I will come forward." ”
He lowered his head and whispered in Lin Shan's ear, "You help me watch outside, if there is something wrong, kill this Ma Po as soon as possible!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Shan nodded, "Then you must be careful, if you don't feel good, come back immediately, so as not to put yourself in for a case." ”
Qi Zixiao, as the head catcher of Qingxian County, was even rewarded by the county guard, and his future is bright, even if this case cannot be solved, it will still not affect his status.
Granny Ma looked at them expressionlessly on the side, her tone was a little impatient, "Is it finished, hurry up when you are done, once the hour is over, there is no way to enter the underworld." ”
Qi Zixiao glanced at the other party, then looked at the black coffin, and pushed the coffin lid open, revealing the scene inside, empty, but exuding a rotten smell.
Thinking that this was a dead man lying down, Qi Zixiao's heart couldn't help but churn.
Granny Ma took out two pieces of the skinned girl's clothes, put them in Qi Zixiao's hand, and said calmly, "Take the clothes, so that you can find the location where the girl is, and she should not have been reincarnated yet." ”
"Also, the old woman finally told you, enter the underworld, only do what you should do, no matter what you see or encounter, don't participate in it out of curiosity, otherwise, you may never come back!"
"There are many variables in the underworld, if you really can't come back, the old woman can't save you."
Hearing what the other party said, Qi Zixiao nodded, took the clothes, took a deep breath, and then stepped into the coffin, the saber he carried with him was also at hand, in case of an accident, he would immediately split the coffin, with the power of a second-grade martial artist, even the big bluestone would be cut in two.
Lin Shan and a group of fast catchers all looked at Qi Zixiao with admiration, and one of them muttered in a low voice, "No wonder people are head catchers, I am fast catchers, this courage is not comparable to ordinary people......"
"Qi Catcher, you can go with confidence......"
Lin Shan said.
As he spoke, he was about to close the coffin lid, Qi Zixiao stopped him, and looked at the other party with an ugly face, "Brother Lin, what do you mean, what do you mean to let me go with confidence, I am in the underworld, not dead!" ”
He felt that this Lin Shan was too unable to speak.
It's like cursing him to death.
"Ahem, I mean, you can rest assured that you can enter the underworld, there is me on the earth......"
Lin Shan coughed dryly and explained, but as he spoke, he felt that this didn't seem to be right, so he added again, "That, you must have a smooth journey on this trip......"
The more he listened, the more frightened Qi Zixiao became, and waved his hand speechlessly, "Okay, don't talk about it, besides, I'm really going to die." ”
So saying, he lay down and lay down on the pillow where the dead man had pillowed.
"Crunch"
Lin Shan slowly closed the lid of the coffin, and darkness gradually enveloped Qi Zixiao's vision.
With a "bang", the coffin lid closed completely.
Suddenly, Qi Zixiao's world quieted down, and he could only faintly hear a little sound outside.
Closing the coffin, the smell of decay became even heavier, Qi Zixiao couldn't help but want to vomit out, he felt that it was extremely cold inside, as if there was a cold wind blowing constantly, and goosebumps rose.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sound of Qi Zixiao's breathing was extremely clear in the dark coffin.
In the darkness, it seems that only one is left, and the sound of his heart beating can be heard quietly.
There was no up and down, no front and back, and even no concept of time, in this dark place, countless chaotic thoughts popped up in Qi Zixiao's mind in an instant.
Fear, loneliness, loneliness, hesitation, helplessness......
Darkness seems to be able to channel negative emotions in people's hearts, and bring to the surface emotions that usually do not appear at all.
"This is the state after death, will Lin Shan collude with Granny Ma and kill me here?"
"Lin Shan and I are both head hunters, he should be jealous of my current achievements......
"Ye Hongling's chick is good-looking, if she can be included in the room, she can establish a relationship with the Sharpshooter......"
In Qi Zixiao's heart, all kinds of evil thoughts began to breed, good and evil are one, no one can always maintain good thoughts, and there will be all kinds of evil thoughts, but the number of these evil thoughts is too small, and they have always been suppressed in the deepest part of their hearts under the law and moral norms.
The human heart is the most complex, and no one can really understand another person.
Darkness is a fertile ground for evil thoughts, and madness breeds, which is why many people choose to commit crimes at night.
However, perceiving the appearance of these evil thoughts, a flash of light flashed in Qi Zixiao's eyes, and his powerful will instantly extinguished the evil thoughts.
The inside of the coffin was sealed so that outside air could enter it without suffocating him.
I don't know when, one whispering voice after another appeared in Qi Zixiao's ears, squirming, all kinds of sounds were mixed together, making his mind confused.
At the same time, his vision began to change, and a powerful sleepiness struck, and at this moment, yin and yang were reversed, and the boundary between life and death began to blur.
Qi Zixiao felt as if a dark whirlpool had appeared, and within the whirlpool, a powerful suction force appeared, and his consciousness was slowly sucked into it!
The next moment, a little light seemed to appear in front of Qi Zixiao's eyes, and his ears were also quiet.
The light gradually expanded, and at this time, Qi Zixiao realized that it was a lantern, a white lantern, carried by a pale figure, and his face was stiff and walked forward.
Qi Zixiao looked at himself and found that he was also carrying a white lantern in his hand, wearing the girl's clothes, a dignified man, actually wearing a woman's clothes, to his surprise, he didn't have anything inappropriate.
Vaguely, he felt as if something was calling to him in front of him.
Qi Zixiao looked at the white lantern in his hand, according to Granny Ma, this is for her own lighting, and it can also play a role in protecting herself.
The surroundings were dim, it seemed to be a desert of yellow sand, and nothing could be seen three steps away.
A gust of wind came out, and the white lantern in his hand was almost blown away.
Qi Zixiao hurriedly grabbed the lantern and looked around, the light of the lantern could only shine within three steps of the surroundings, he hesitated for a moment and walked towards the direction he sensed.
As he walked, Qi Zixiao muttered to himself, "This is the underworld, it doesn't seem to be as terrible as I imagined." ”
In his consciousness, he has always thought that the underworld must be the kind of ghost-ridden, eerie and terrifying scene, eighteen layers of hell, and screams can be heard at any time.
But now, in the dim world, there is silence, and almost no sound can be heard.
This made Qi Zixiao wonder if he had entered the underworld.
"I heard that there is a king of Yama and a bodhisattva king of the earth, but I don't know where they are......"
Qi Zixiao's mind swirled with all kinds of thoughts, and he kept moving forward.
A lantern has become the only one in this world, and occasionally, Qi Zixiao can see a figure suddenly appear, with a slight touch of illusion, slowly walking towards the front.
His face was numb, his eyes were hollow, and his steps were mechanical.
Qi Zixiao looked at these figures, and knew that these were the souls of the underworld, the underworld was in charge of the six realms of reincarnation, and every moment there were a huge number of extremely large souls entering here, reincarnated from the underworld.
This is the rule of heaven and earth, which is commonly known as the way of heaven!
He didn't dare to alarm these spirits, but just followed the senses in the dark.
