3. The Fog of the Ghost Valley
After Liu Minshi drifted away, Xiao Bei and Hong Yan were stunned for a moment and exhausted their physical strength, so they couldn't catch up, and watched her figure disappear into the dense forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Both of them felt stunned and overwhelmed. Xiao Bei suddenly felt a pain in his heart, as if he had experienced such a taste somewhere, but the time and place were no longer verifiable, giving people a hazy feeling of clouds and mist in a dream.
Then the two of them left the glacial lake and walked for miles into the woods, and when the temperature was a little warmer, they lit a fire to ward off the cold. Then the two sat next to each other, staring blankly at the dancing flames, each falling silent.
Hong Yan peeked at Xiao Bei, and saw that he looked sluggish, as if he was not holding on, frowned, and suddenly said, "Xiao Lang...... Are you reluctant to be Sister Minshi?"
Xiao Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Naturally, I am a little reluctant...... And...... I always felt a little uncomfortable with her......"
Hong Yan nodded, her eyes were slightly red, and said, "I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for her...... But sooner or later, you and I have to tell her that she has a secret affection for you, and she will get along day and night in the future, and her affection will only get deeper and deeper, if she waits until she knows about it when her love for you is deep-rooted, I am afraid that it will hit her even harder, and I don't know what she will do at that time......" Saying that, Hong Yan remembered Liu Minshi's actions when she was Jiuxi, and felt a little panicked in her heart.
"Hmm......" Xiao Bei nodded and said no more, but his expression was still melancholy.
Seeing this, Hong Yan thought about it, and suddenly said: "Xiao Lang, do you really want to marry the two of us at the same time?"
Xiao Bian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Where, Hongyan, I have already sworn to you that I will never be half-hearted in this life......"
Hong Yan sighed and said, "Okay, if you really have this intention, I won't stop it, anyway, Min Shi still has an ice diamond of mine in her arms, or I'll inform her of this with a spirit manifestation now?"
Xiao Bei suddenly felt that his head was big, this kind of children's affection has always been his own strength, in case Hong Yan really called Liu Minshi back, he would be extremely embarrassed. So he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and swore an oath, saying that he only had master-apprentice love for Liu Minshi, and there was no personal relationship between men and women, and he only hoped to find a wishful husband for Liu Minshi, so that she would no longer be lonely in this life.
After that, Xiao Bei's mind turned sharply, and he wanted to find a good match for Liu Minshi, and said in his heart: "Yuwen Tianzhou, the famous sword Fengyue, it seems that Minshi doesn't like it, or ...... My brother-in-law seems to be good, but ...... That Yu Ji said that she had married my brother-in-law, I don't know if it's true or not, I will definitely ask a clear ...... next time we meet."
was bothering to grab the old matchmaker's errand, and suddenly felt that the fog was surging, and he couldn't see things clearly after a few feet, so he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Hong Yan, quickly wear the Ten Thousand Souls Leaving the Banner Cover." Hongyan's eyes couldn't see, he was restless at the moment, and the spiritual manifestation could not be used, and when he heard Xiao Bei's words, he was also quite nervous, so the two put on masks together, held hands, and sat quietly in the fog, waiting for the fog to dissipate.
This fog is different from the previous mist, it is extremely rich, and the two of them are in it, as if they feel that this fog is thick like substance, and even their own actions are a little slow. After a while, suddenly there was a faint sound of bells ringing in front of me.
The sound of this bell is crisp, fluttering, flickering, flickering, and very rhythmic, as if someone is playing a watch. After a while, the sound of the bell became clearer, and it was clear that someone was approaching the area. Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of compact footsteps, and there were a lot of people coming, estimated to be about three or four people.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, I saw a flickering orange light shining through the mist, just shining on Xiao Hong and the others, and then a shrill voice came out, saying: "Where are the ghosts and ghosts ahead? ”
Xiao Bei was already afraid of ghosts, and when he heard that the ghost king was coming, what was it? Moreover, this dense fog and ghost fire yin bells came one after another, and the atmosphere was extremely gloomy and terrifying, and he had already believed seven or eight points in his heart, so he said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency the ghost king...... The two of us are not ghosts, but living people, who have inadvertently broken into the treasure land...... Please also ask Your Highness to forgive us for the innocence of those who do not know. ”
The voice suddenly looked extremely surprised, and said in a loud voice: "Living...... How can there be a living person here? It's the first time in thousands of years. You two hurry up and let me see what it's really about. ”
Xiao Bei was helpless, and said to Hong Yan: "Hong Yan, you stay here for the time being, I will meet this guy and come back in a while." ”
Hong Yan grabbed Xiao Bei's sleeve, shook his head firmly, and said, "Let's go together." Don't leave me alone. ”
When Xiao Bei heard this, his spirit suddenly perked up, and the courage in his heart rose, and he turned around and led Hongyan to stride towards the light.
When he arrived near the lamp, Xiao Bei saw the appearance of the person who came, and immediately turned pale with fright, and the courage he had just won was suddenly out of the clouds.
I saw a four-person sedan chair covered with a white ribbon, which was being carried by four corpses, stopped in front of Xiao Hong and the others, whose arms were from the shoulder down and their heads from the jaw to the jaw, all of which had been cut off. Each corpse had a hole in its collarbone and was connected to the small sedan chair. Several extremely long tentacles protruded from the window, firmly bound to the bare spinal cord of the corpse, and looked similar to the usurper's nerve fibers.
As soon as the person in the sedan saw the two of them, he suddenly lost his voice and shouted, "Really...... It's really a living person, hurry, hurry, hurry up and get on the sedan chair, otherwise it will be too late!" The implication of panic in his voice was obvious.
Xiao Bei swallowed his saliva and arched his hand: "Thank you...... His Royal Highness the Ghost King Xie had some kindness, but it was just ...... We and the other two have important matters and cannot respond to your invitation, so please forgive me for ......"
"Stupid, this aura of collusion has become thicker, you two don't get on the sedan chair again, and you are in danger of turning into wild ghosts at any time! Don't get on the sedan chair quickly!" The voice was so anxious that it burst into foul language.
Xiao Jie suddenly felt Hongyan pinching his hand, and then Hongyan's voice said from the bottom of his ear: "Xiao Lang, don't be afraid, my spiritual manifestation has been restored, even a real ghost can deal with it, it is better to follow him into the sedan chair, maybe you can ask the way out of the valley." ”
Xiao Bei nodded and said, "That's bothering." Then he got into the sedan chair with the wild goose.
As soon as the two entered the sedan door, they saw a child about seven or eight years old sitting in the sedan chair, with bright eyes and bright teeth, snow-white and pink, which seemed incompatible with the title of the ghost king. However, he has an iron cage in his hand, with a copper bell tied to the cage, and there are four openings around the cage, and those tentacles are issued from the openings, connected to the corpse outside the sedan chair, adding a sense of gloom to him.
When the boy saw the two men coming up, he looked puzzled and asked, "Are you living?
Xiao Bei touched the cover on his face, shook Huo Huo and said, "This ...... This is the Ten Thousand Souls Detachment Banner Cover, which is used to block this mist. ”
When the child heard this, he immediately showed joy, patted the seat cushion on the sedan chair, and said: "Great, no wonder it hasn't become a thing, it turns out that wearing such a treasure, I haven't seen a living person for a few days, hurry up and take a seat, I will take you to see the master." ”
"Master, aren't you the Ghost King?" Xiao Bei had an incredible look on his face.
"Alas, the Ghost King is just a title, I am a living person. However, he helped the master to govern this group of avatars, so he was called the ghost king. The fat boy said happily.
Xiao Bei immediately put his mind at ease, and suddenly felt that Hong Yan pinched his hand, and when he looked back, he saw Hong Yan with a malicious smile on her face, knowing that she was cowardly before laughing at herself, she couldn't help but sigh and make a helpless expression.
"Then who is your master?" Xiao Bei asked again.
"Master, the master is powerful, omniscient, omniscient, ruling all beings, controlling all ghosts, and is the supreme of the two worlds. I will now take you to him. The boy said.
When Xiao Hong and the others heard this, they looked at each other, and at the same time, they couldn't help but be excited in their hearts, and they nodded when they saw the style.
The child said, "You can take off your mask, there is a method of eliminating yin in this sedan chair, and the fog cannot enter." With that, as the child shook the iron cage and the bell rang, the four headless corpses carried the sedan chair and walked slowly into the fog ahead.
