Chapter 22: Returning the Sun
I looked through the brick hole, and it was dark behind, and in the hazy light, I could see what seemed to be a large desert, and the sky was full of yellow sand. In the extreme distance, faintly the silhouette of the mountains.
There is something like a ghost wandering in the desert.
No matter where it is, there is only one explanation, and it is certainly not the yang world.
My mind was so confused that I pulled up Wei Rongrong and walked in the opposite direction.
She asked what was wrong, I couldn't explain, and my judgment wasn't necessarily correct. If you want to get out of here, you can only try the opposite direction.
I picked up the black brick, and we walked in the tunnel for a long time, and the light gradually came outside. The tunnel has finally come to an end.
Coming out of the tunnel, a cold wind, Wei Rongrong wrapped her clothes tightly and leaned against me.
I was a little dizzy, and I could barely look over, and there was a big mountain in front of me, and as far as the eye could see, there were thorns everywhere, and there was no way forward.
The wind was strong, blowing a large snowflake, and the night was bitterly cold.
It's too sesame cold. I pulled Rong Rong and was about to go back to the tunnel to take shelter from the wind, and when I looked back, I was stupid.
There is no tunnel behind him, only a ruined temple. The temple door was empty, the eaves were covered with thick snow, and a gust of wind blew, and the snowflakes flew.
Wei Rongrong was so cold. Forget it, no matter what it is, let's get through the night first.
I pushed open the temple door and entered, and there was a tattered altar inside, with several copper incense burners, full of incense ashes. There are also long extinguished candles on both sides.
In the center of the shrine is enshrined a god, dressed in ancient colorful costumes, holding a long banner in his hand, with the words "Ji Fu" on the top and "peace" on the bottom.
A cold wind blew in, and my back was through. Hurry back and close the temple door.
"Brother Qin, do you look at the statue above, it doesn't look like the old man who drove the carriage just now?" Wei Rongrong said suddenly.
The temple was barely warmer, I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully, it was really, the eyebrows and eyes were very similar.
My mind moved, and when I looked up, I saw a horizontal plaque written on the top of the shrine, which was three words, "Cold Forest Altar".
I picked up my phone and looked at it, I raised my eyebrows, there was actually a signal!
At this time, several messages came from the pupae, all of which were sent by Master Chen.
"Xiao Qin, are you really out? Alas, there is no way. ”
"Xiao Qin, I just know what's going on, someone has set up a magic circle in our alley, and temporarily opened up the underworld Yin Road. Our alley has become a passage through yin and yang tonight. And the eye of the circle is right on your door! Are you really in the shadows? ”
"Xiao Qin, someone came to your door and let me fight back."
There was no more information later.
I looked at my watch, and it was half past four in the morning, and I saw that it was going to be dawn. I thought about it, but I still sent a message to Master Chen, briefly explaining what happened to me.
He didn't reply to the message, probably resting, let's talk about it at dawn.
Rong Rong fell asleep, and I found a relatively clean place in the corner of the wall and helped her against the wall.
I rummaged through the temple and found some rags and thick grass, all piled on top of her, barely keeping warm.
After tossing all night, nine deaths, she is naturally a girl who can't stand it.
I'm okay, I'm still in good spirits, standing in front of the temple gate, looking at the cold mountains outside.
I know we're back to the sun now.
There are a lot of things I don't understand here, but if my mind is messing around for a while, I won't think about it much.
I lit a cigarette and stood in front of the window and smoked slowly, waiting for the sun to rise outside.
Before I knew it, after more than two hours, the sky was slightly bright, and the red sun rose and hung in the air.
My heart has only settled down, and the sun will never be seen in the underworld.
I woke Rong Rong up, and she rested, but her head was a little hot. I supported all the way, and we finally found a way down the mountain, to the foot of the mountain, where there is a small park, and some of the aunts and uncles who have been exercising in the morning have come out.
When I inquired in the past, this turned out to be the Dongshanju community, which is more than ten kilometers away from the alley of the massage parlor.
I'm a little confused, how can we go so far in one night?
I got out of the park and took a car and went all the way back to the alley. I can't believe I'm back.
It was like a nightmare, and now that I look back, every detail is so unreal. This is called a dream of yellow sorghum, right?
I felt in my pocket, and the black brick was still there, brought back from the underworld. It means that I really went and this night was not a hallucination.
When I arrived at the door of the massage parlor, I was surprised to see a lot of red paint splashed on the door, making it dirty. While I wasn't there, someone did come last night.
I hurriedly opened the door with the key, Xiaoying was still resting in the store, something big must have happened in the store last night, is she okay?
After opening the door, I asked Rong Rong to rest for a while, and I quickly ran to the back room, Xiao Ying was sleeping, and woke up when I heard a voice.
She rubbed her eyes and said, "You're back?" I didn't sleep well last night, and there was a crackling sound outside, as if it was a feral cat fighting. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that she was safe, but I didn't expect that she was the safest among us.
She didn't leave the store overnight, but she didn't do anything, which is really a blessed person who doesn't have to be busy.
I didn't explain much, I just said that Rong Rong is here, she has a fever, you take care of it. Xiao Ying was anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly put on her clothes and came out.
The two girls take care of each other. I told them to stay in the store and not go anywhere.
I came out of the shop and ran to the food stall at the entrance of the alley.
Hui Kee doesn't sell breakfast, and the door is closed early in the morning. I knew that Master Chan lived in the shop, so I started knocking on the door.
I can't open it no matter how I knock it, it's broken, is there something wrong with Master Chen?
