Chapter 131: What is Merit (I)
"Who?"
Ma Zicai's surprise was not trivial, because the voice did not belong to anyone he knew, but a completely unfamiliar voice.
"Don't you think it's too much for you to come to my house and step on me, and ask me who I am?" said the man, his voice dry.
"I'm sorry, it's too dark in here, I can't see clearly, so I'm disturbing my brother. Ma Zicai hurriedly dodged.
"It doesn't matter if it's too dark, you can see it when you go out, as long as you're not blind like me. The man sighed.
"Brother, where did you just say this?" Ma Zicai casually accosted as he reached out and groped around, trying to find a few other people.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, his wrist was grabbed, startled, and almost screamed, before he could shout, this person whispered his identity, only to find that it was Pang Xie who grabbed his wrist, and it turned out that several other people were beside him.
"As I said, this is the Yellow Springs Prefecture. The man said quietly.
"Don't be kidding!" Ma Zicai waved his hand, but he didn't expect that it was dark here, how could the other party see it.
"I'm not kidding, if you listen attentively, you can hear the sound of gurgling water, which is the sound of Jiuqu Yellow Spring flowing endlessly"
"Huh?" Ma Zicai listened intently, and sure enough, he heard the faint sound of running water.
"Hurry up, this place is too close to the Yellow Spring, and after a long time, the body will decay, and the memory will gradually blur, and finally turn into a piece of loess. The voice continued.
"Then why don't you leave?" Ma Zicai asked.
"I made a big mistake, I was chained here, and I couldn't leave if I wanted to. ”
"Then how can we get out?"
"There's only one road here, and if you follow that road all the way out, you can go outside. The man said.
"Oh, thank you brother, let's go first!" Ma Zicai said.
"Good all the way. ”
"Wait, why don't you come with us?" asked Ponsei in a chime in.
"I can't go, there's a chain......"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard two crisp sounds, "Bang, bang!" Two crisp sounds, in the darkness, splashed a little spark, it turned out that Pang Xie had found the two iron chains that locked this person in the dark, and pulled them hard, pulling them off alive.
"Huh?" the man was taken aback, his voice mixed horror and delight.
"Can we go now?" asked Ponsei.
"I still can't walk, both of my legs are broken. The man sighed.
"It's okay, I'll take you away. ”
Pang Xie had a keen sense of five senses, excellent ear power, and the ability to hear the wind, and he had already heard the person's position clearly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed his vest, and regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he picked it up casually.
The rest of the people groped for a while, and sure enough, they found a way, so they followed it and walked out.
Although they fell from the cliff, when they were near the ground, they encountered an updraft, and they were supported by this air current, and they all landed safely, not injured, and they were able to walk.
This road is extremely long, several people walked for more than an hour, only to see a glimmer of light, follow this glimmer of light to the front, is a more than one zhang high hole, out of the hole, only to see a stone tablet standing next to the hole, on which are written "Jiuqu Yellow Spring" four black characters.
......
Outside the entrance of the cave, there was a vast field, although there was some light, but it was not too bright, as if it was dawn, you could probably see it, but you couldn't see it very clearly.
Pang Xie looked up at the sky, and saw a light moon hanging in the sky, sprinkling a dim yellow light, shining on the wilderness, there were no landmarks around, and he couldn't see where it was, so he put the brother he was carrying in his hand on the ground, and planned to discuss where to go.
Under the moonlight, a few people saw his appearance clearly, and couldn't help but be surprised, this person was about twenty years old, white and pure, polite, and looked like a white-collar worker in the city, but the two eyeballs had been gouged out, leaving two black holes, which made people feel a chill in their hearts, in addition, both legs were also broken, and there were blood marks all over the body, which looked extremely miserable.
"Hey, are you ......" Song Dingbo saw this person's face, suddenly became excited, pointed at him and shouted.
"I'm a ghost. Before Song Dingbo could finish speaking, the man interrupted him.
"How can you be a ghost?" Song Dingbo's face was excited, and his body trembled.
"Ahem, why am I not a ghost? I don't respect the Lord, I commit the rules of heaven, I go to hell, I am trapped in the Yellow Spring, I am in pain day and night, it is difficult to die, I am not a ghost, what else can I be?" the man coughed a few times and said.
"You know him?" Ponsie interjected.
"Of course I know! He is one of the Six Desires Messengers who I personally summoned into the sect and joined the Peach Blossom Sect with Licao, and has comprehended the sect master's secret pupil technique, the Soul Fixing Eye, how could I not know him? I just said that there is no news of him recently, it turns out that he is here!" Song Dingbo shouted loudly: "Wang Shuai! Why are you here? Why did you become like this?"
"Wang Shuai, this name sounds so familiar, why can't I think of it, my head hurts!" Wang Shuai listened to Song Dingbo's words, frowned, rubbed his temples vigorously, and said: "Why am I here? That's because a few days ago, when the Lord opened up the kingdom of God on earth, Mrs. came out to celebrate, and I didn't know what happened to my eyes, others could see Mrs., but I just couldn't see it, and as a result, I angered the Lord and was beaten to hell and had my eyes gouged out. ”
"You...... This ......" Song Dingbo took a long breath, wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start, and finally turned into a sigh and said in a low voice: "Is there anything I can do to help you now?"
Wang Shuai sat on the ground, thought for a while, and said: "I am very happy that you can save me from Jiuqu Huangquan, if you still want to help me, take me to the city of vain death, reincarnate, and become a new person!"
"Where's the City of the Dead?" asked Ponsei.
"It's not far north from here. ”
"Okay, let's go and see. As he spoke, Ponsie reached out to lift him up.
"Let me carry it!" Song Dingbo reluctantly stood up, stopped Pang Xie, and said in a low voice: "If I hadn't pulled him into the sect, he wouldn't have fallen into such a field, even if it was me atoning for my sins!"
Ponche nodded.
When Li Tianhua and others saw this scene, their mood was a little low, and they didn't know whether all this was illusory or real, but whether it was true or not, it made them feel extremely bad.
Song Dingbo came to Wang Shuai in a few steps, carried him on his back, and said that it was strange, Wang Shuai was neither thin nor short, normally speaking, he was almost one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, but when he carried it on his back, he felt light and fluttering, but one or twenty pounds.
After carrying Wang Shuai, several people stepped on the barnyard grass in the wilderness, strode towards the north, and after a short time, they encountered a road.
On the avenue, pedestrians continued, and strangely, no one spoke, did not greet each other, and walked silently.
When I got closer, I found that these people said they were walking, but in fact, most of them were floating, their legs barely moved, and their bodies could move, so it could be said that they were all ghosts.
Ma Zicai and the others were frightened when they saw it, and hesitated for a long time before they persuaded themselves to set foot on the avenue on the grounds that they were surrounded by illusions.
It is also strange to say, a few people went up the avenue, and no one paid attention to them around the wandering spirits, as if they couldn't see it, a few people followed the avenue, continued to walk forward, not much effort, came to a city, the city is three feet high, made of green bricks, just above the city gate, inlaid with a stone plaque, engraved with the words "vain dead city".
There was no one to guard the city gate, and several people entered the city along the city gate, and according to Wang Shuai's description, they walked all the way to the center of the city, and for about 20 minutes, they saw a tall mansion in the city.
In front of the government office, there is a Dengwen drum, and there is a plaque hanging above, with four black characters on it: "Zhaozhao every day".
According to Wang Shuai's request, Song Dingbo stepped forward, picked up the drumstick, and struck it heavily.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the mansion was opened, and two teams of Yin soldiers with sharp blades in their hands rushed out violently, surrounding several people in the middle.
"Lord Qiyu Chenghuang, I'm here!" Wang Shuai leaned on Song Dingbo's shoulder and shouted loudly into the yamen.
