Chapter 14: The Ghost Gate
The stall owner was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, his face was pale and bloodless.
He smiled at me, revealing a black cavity, not to mention the teeth and tongue, which didn't even have mucous membranes, and could see his throat at a glance!
"This is a young girl who came here to give it to me. She asked me to hang the rabbit in a prominent position to attract customers for me, which is not for sale......"
I was so happy in my heart that I couldn't cry!
Gong Yiyu really didn't die! She's been here before, and she's delivering the message that way!
The half-immortal didn't lie to me, and if you head west, you can really find her!
I said I wanted to buy this bamboo rabbit, but the stall owner was stubborn and kept shaking his head.
I gritted my teeth, grabbed the bamboo rabbit, stuffed it into my arms, turned and ran backwards!
All the stall owners stopped and stood straight, staring straight at me with their eyes intact.
Curious, quirky, ill-intentioned.
The vendor shouted twice from behind, "No! No! ……”
His shouts were strange, not 'stop', not 'stop', not 'catch the thief', but 'can't'!
Have you seen a few people who were robbed, shouting no?
I haven't seen it anyway.
His movements were stranger than his voice, and his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move, watching me run away.
I ran as hard as I could, breaking through the crowd and causing them to stop and watch.
Countless pairs of eyes, big and small, front and back, tall and short, stared at me together.
It was as if I had entered a secret room with eyes on all sides, eyes on the front and back, left and right, and there was no way out, no exit.
All eyes are on me, watching me, I have no secrets, nothing to hide.
The huge psychological pressure made it difficult for me to walk every step of the way.
I gritted my teeth and pressed forward.
When I thought of Gongyi's words, I was full of energy.
I bumped into one person after another.
I don't know how long I walked, but I finally broke away from the crowd and passed through the huge arch.
I turned my head and glanced up.
At this time, the fog above the arch dissipated, and if you look closely, there are three big words written on it: 'Ghost Gate Pass'!
I was shocked, and my back was cold, I actually walked in the ghost gate!
I was light, my legs were limp, and I froze in place.
Because in front of the ghost gate is the water that cannot be seen at a glance, yellow and gloomy, and waves are beating and beating, but there is no sound.
How do I get back?
Just then, a red-clad ghost jumped up in front of me on one leg and slammed into me.
Its face was hideous, the horns on its head glistened coldly, and it smiled 'hehe'.
I couldn't dodge, and I was hit by it, and the whole person fainted in an instant.
By the time I woke up, it was already the next night.
The moon hung in the sky, half round and not bright, and there was not a single star in the sky, only the dim street lamps kept flickering.
My face flickered on and off with the flickering of the streetlights.
There was no one on the street, not a single car, only the silence and darkness.
It was as if I was the only one left in the world.
What a strange dream!
Is it another trap for dream-eating tapirs?
I touched my arms, but I was stunned!
Inside was a bamboo-woven rabbit.
The eyes are made of red beans, one large and one small.
Not a dream?
Not a dream!!
I really went to the ghost gate and walked around, I really met strange vendors, and I really got the message left by Gong Yiyu!
She must have strayed into there, and she certainly wasn't dead yet!
Otherwise, she would have unconsciously marched forward like the crowd, and would not have left the rabbit there at all!
She's delivering a message to me!
My hands shook with excitement.
It's late at night.
The goblins hiding in the shadows became active, and I was so excited that I didn't notice that the crack on the Soul Orb in front of my neck was getting bigger and wider.
The cold wind blew "whirring", blowing into the cracks of my bones, into the cracks of the Zhenluo Pearl.
"Click" Zhen Lingzhu was overwhelmed, and let out a small scream, like a person who has fallen into the abyss, crying helplessly.
Crying does not bring salvation, but only fears and despair.
The emerald green bead, which had been with me for eight years and had protected me, finally shattered in the middle of the night, halved, and fell to the ground, rolling to both sides.
A strange sensation came over me, making my scalp tingle and confusing me.
It was as if countless needles were pressed against my neck, scalp and back, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
Strange shapes emerged from the darkness, all of them with blood-red eyes, large mouths open, sharp teeth, dense and in all directions.
I just felt my scalp tingle, and death stood on top of my head, licking my neck.
Have they always been here, or have they followed me here?
I do not know.
I only know that if the soul bead is broken, it means that I have to face these evil spirits by myself!
One by one, they approached me tentatively, neither fast nor slow, like cats playing with mice, like eagles teasing rabbits.
They treated me like a meal on a plate, waiting for a full meal.
I straightened my spine and looked straight at them, looking for a solution.
However, I have no longevity, and I don't know how to do Taoism, and when I face evil spirits, I have no power to restrain a chicken, just like a three-year-old child.
I escaped the encirclement and suppression of the villagers, escaped from the ghost gate, and found the traces of Gong Yiyu.
This time, maybe not so lucky.
I sighed, held the bamboo rabbit in both hands, and touched its eyes, which turned red.
"One word ......"
The strange ghosts finally ran out of patience, and they rushed towards me.
Covering the sky and the sun, the air around it became oppressive and cold.
Dense red eyes stared at me, cold, sarcastic, anxious, salivating.
They rushed towards me like crazy, and I was about to be drowned by the waves of water as if I had fallen into the ocean.
I thought I was going to die.
At this moment, the bamboo rabbit in my hand shone with golden light, and I couldn't open my eyes.
A touch of Dao talisman was reflected in the air.
The piercing wails shook my ears, and these strange shapes of evil spirits turned into ashes when they touched the golden light, and the rest scattered in all directions.
In an instant, I was clear again, and the moon hung in the sky, not very bright, not round enough, but beautiful enough.
I played with the bamboo-woven rabbit in my hand and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Gong Yiyu saved my life.
I opened the rabbit's belly and found a wet talisman inside.
Gong Yiyu's disappearance, could it be just to save me?
