The kind old woman's face suddenly changed, her eyes suddenly became sharp, which startled me. I subconsciously sat back with my butt touching the futon, and then she said with an ugly smile: "Uh, grandma, do you know me?
"The old woman leaned forward, the expression on her face was so stiff and rigid, and she said coldly every word: "Take off the mask on your face and let me see your true face!"
I touched the wooden mask on my face, then glanced at Xu Ming. He nodded and motioned for me to follow suit.
Although I didn't know what it meant, I still took off the mask. When she saw my face revealed bit by bit, her expression seemed more frightened than mine, and she subconsciously pushed back and murmured.
He murmured to himself: "No, it's not him! No, it's him. It turns out to be him..."
I don't know who the "he" the old woman is talking about is, and I don't know if the old woman has confirmed whether I am "he". Anyway, everything is very convoluted, and it makes my head hurt fiercely, and I am completely confused.
Here. After a long time, the old woman finally came to her senses, took a long breath, and then gave Xu Ming a hard look and said, "You kid, if you give this old woman problems, I thought
What a simple matter, the result is like this.
Xu Ming didn't dare to get angry when he was blamed, and said with a smile: "Grandma, if I don't say that you are very capable and kind-hearted, who would I be looking for if I don't look for you?"
The two of them talked for a few words, and then the old woman turned to me and said: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't have to take care of your affairs, but since you have come to my door, I can't take care of you."
Drive you out. Come on, let me see how you got here first, and then I can decide your future path..."
As she spoke, she put her finger in her mouth, soaked it with some saliva, then stretched it out in front of me and drew a strange rune on my forehead.
Strange to say, when her sharp and pointed fingers were pressed against my forehead, all my thoughts seemed to be piled up, and then suddenly a crack opened, like a dam bursting.
The ground surged toward the outside, and in the corner of my eye, I seemed to see a lot of brilliance emerging from the top of my head, as if I had achieved enlightenment at this moment and became a Buddha on the spot, giving birth to those strange and colorful rings of brilliance.
However, this was just a moment. A hurricane-like mental shock hit me directly on the beach. My eyes turned black and I almost fainted.
I gritted my teeth and endured it for a while, but more ferocious waves continued to hit me. After more than ten times in a row, I yelled "ah" and fell directly to the ground. I felt that what I was carrying on my shoulders was not a person.
Instead of my head, there was a pot of boiling hot pot, churning endlessly. My eyes and nostrils were itchy, and when I subconsciously touched them, they were all filled with blood. This situation scared me so much that I stood up immediately.
As a result, his feet became weak and he fell down again.
Seeing me like this, the old woman waved her sleeves, as if a breeze was blowing on her face, but she removed all the decorations on my body.
When I got up again, time seemed to have passed for a long time. I saw that Xu Ming had also taken off his mask. He and the old woman looked at me helplessly and shook their heads. My heart felt cold. What happened?
What's going on? What happened to me just now?
The old woman looked at me bleeding from all my orifices, sighed, and said that the person who sent you here put a strong restriction on you to prevent anyone from tracing back to the passage you came from and sending you back. This kind of restriction
It's very ferocious. If I forcefully untie it, I might be able to deduce it, but at that time, you would have already lost your soul. It's not worth the loss. That person has such a powerful mind. I guess he wants you to stay here forever.
place, or go to Youfu to return to life?
Hearing the old woman's regretful words, my heart shrank. The person she was talking about was actually Luo Shiba, my previous life.
Through the layout of Luo Shiba's old house and the unique energy and talisman energy I absorbed when I went to the five Yelang Sacrifice Halls, he built the most authentic soul altar during the Yelang Alliance period, allowing me to live in my first eighteen lives.
They were all reborn, and at the last moment, he killed me and sent me here, and he actually put such restrictions on me.
Is his ultimate goal to seize my soul and occupy my body?
Or does he want me to come here and deliver the news about the Evil Spirit Cult to me?
My mind was in turmoil, and I subconsciously asked, is there no way for me to return to life?
The old woman looked at me, smiled, and said that what is said is that there must be a cause, which means that this world is actually composed of countless clues. Only by sorting out these can you return to your body safely.
, will not be blown away by the boundless wind. However, the great road is impermanent, and there will inevitably be variables when one escapes. From here to the east, go straight for a hundred miles, where is the junction between this place and Youfu, and there is a river of life and death.
If you successfully break through the Yin and Yang Realm, you may be able to return to the human world - but this method is extremely dangerous. Except for a few extremely lucky people, few people can break through; and even if you do, the soul will not be able to break through.
There may be damage and many changes may occur...
As he said this, I suddenly thought of Mr. Tiger Cat. The fat bird’s previous life was Qu Yang, and it claimed to be Dana who returned from You Mansion. It can be seen that it also followed this path back then, and even so
, its memory has also been severely damaged, and it was incarcerated by mistake. So far it can only live in a fat parrot. Am I going to follow the same path as an adult now?
Can I get through? Even if I get through, will I be like Mr. Tiger Cat and become something I can't even imagine?
But if I also become a fat bird, will the little demon dislike me...
My mind was in a mess, but when I heard the old woman say that this was the only way to go back, I had no choice but to grit my teeth, stand up, bow deeply to her to express my gratitude, and then
He asked carefully: "I am very grateful for the great favor. I wonder if I can ask my honorific title, grandma. If I don't know, I will have to offer three sticks of incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to express my gratitude..."
I said it respectfully and politely, and the old woman also showed a smile on her face. She waved her hand and said no. Old lady, I have been here for too long and I have forgotten my name. If you are interested, follow Xu Ming and call me.
Grandma is fine. In fact, for the sake of safety, I still suggest you stay here. If you really want to cross the river of life and death, you may lose your soul.
I thought about my relatives and friends in my life, but my nostalgia became more and more persistent. I did not listen to the advice, but bowed again, and then left here resolutely.
I left the palace and walked past before playing card games again. Xu Ming caught up with me and patted my shoulder to persuade me: "Lu Zuo, don't be impulsive. There are too many people who have appeared here inexplicably over the years."
, when they knew they couldn’t go back, most of them chose to live here, and only a few people chose to go there. However, I haven’t heard of anyone being able to cross over. Wait a minute, we won’t be able to cross over in more than a month.
I'm going back, and I might be able to take you back with me then. Although there will be variables, it's still much better than your desperate behavior now..."
Seeing Xu Ming's anxious expression, I patted his shoulder and said, brother, you have done enough for me. I won't say too many words of gratitude, just keep it in my heart. If I don't go back as soon as possible,
So even if I can go back in the future, I will no longer be who I was at that time. Although there are not many successful examples, I know of one.
Xu Ming looked at me seriously for a while and read the determination in my eyes. He finally nodded and agreed to put on the mask and this.
He handed me a piece of parchment on which a specious map was drawn with black paint. He pointed to a long river in the lower right corner and said: "Here is the river of life and death, the realm of yin and yang. I hope that when I go back,
I can see you again." I put on the mask, put away the parchment, patted his shoulder, and said yes, but I still hope that after I go back, we will never meet again.
Xu Ming and I parted ways under the archway, and then ran towards the east of the town according to the direction of the map. Because of the mask he gave me, I didn't encounter any trouble. I saw a lot of people along the way.
They couldn't be said to be humans or ghosts. They were living in this town as if they were ordinary people. I didn't have the time to study what kind of situation this was. I was in a hurry and ran towards the outside of the town.
When I walked to the edge of the town, I saw that the cow heads that had previously surrounded the town entrance had disappeared, leaving only scattered huge footprints.
Because of the arrival of Niu Tou, the town was solemn, and there were men in black armor patrolling the edges. I saw people coming in and out at the entrance of the town, so I walked from there. Unexpectedly, the old bald man was still there and wanted to leave the town when he saw me.
, touched his nose and said, Newcomer, be careful when you go out, don't let those angry beasts get an advantage.
I don't know if this was a kind reminder or a warning. He just bowed and left silently.
After leaving this ghost town, I followed the map and started walking towards the east. Without stopping, I soon walked a long distance away. When I looked back, I saw that the lights of the town were still there, but they were getting darker and darker.
Weaker.
I sighed and was filled with emotions, but I had no time to pack them up and prepared to continue on my way. However, at this moment, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in the corner of my eye, blocking my path.
