Fat Wei, Gui Dao and Chen Zhi silently watched Qing'e's shadowless body walking in front, feeling an indescribable sense of strangeness and fear in their hearts, especially Gui Dao, whose eyes kept staring coldly.
Looking at her, her hand never left the handle of the knife.
Chen Zhi has heard that there is one thing in this world that has no shadow, and that is a ghost.
Ghosts have been the most extreme fear of death in human beings since ancient times. They are considered to be the appearance of people after death. Since ancient times, there have been many descriptions of ghosts. Some people believe that ghosts are bad and will hurt people. Wrong ghosts will look for substitutes.
For revenge, there are also female ghosts who will suck men's essence and blood.
There is a description in "Book of Rites? Jiyi", "All living things must die, and those who die must return to their hometown. These are called ghosts, and ghosts have no shadow." What it means is that ghosts are the souls of dead people, and ghosts and people are
The biggest difference is that ghosts have no shadows.
"Is the woman in front of me who calls herself Qing'e really a fox fairy?" Chen Zhi thought in his mind, "Or did she die in the closet a thousand years ago, but she didn't know it yet?
”.
Chen Zhi remembered that Qin Yueyang once told him for sure that there were no ghosts in this world, but what happened before him made Chen Zhi have to have doubts.
Qing'e did not show any abnormality. She did not look back at Chen Zhi and others. Instead, she quickly walked down the wooden ladder. Her posture was very light, her behavior was relaxed and natural, and she was without any precautions.
Feeling. It really feels like an ordinary girl of seventeen or eighteen without any scheming.
"Come down quickly!" Qing'e said from downstairs with a clear tone, her face full of innocence.
"Okay! Wait for me, sister, I'll go down right now."
Fat Wei didn't seem to be afraid at all at this time. In fact, since entering the divine realm, Fat Wei rarely showed that he was afraid of anything. He grinned heartlessly and said, "A little bit."
mean".
After saying that, he picked up the gun and walked straight downstairs.
Ghost Sword and Chen Zhi looked at each other and followed suit.
When they returned to the yard, Parrot and the others were shocked when they saw Qing'e suddenly appeared. Parrot acted in the most exaggerated way, almost lying on the ground without holding the gun. He pointed the gun at Qing'e and said
, "Brother Xiaozhi, what's going on? What kind of monster is she? Do you need me to shoot her?".
"Fuck you, I scared you like this. I'm a fox fairy and demigod. Just like Qin Yueyang, I'm not a monster." Fat Wei slapped the parrot on the back of the head hard and said, "How can I be a monster? You think I'm a monster."
Are you a Taoist priest from Maoshan?".
At this time, Chen Zhi casually described the experience of seeing Qing'e to Parrot and others, and described it as a miracle of being able to stay alive in the realm of gods. He tried to be as vague as possible, emphasizing that Qing'e was
The identity of a demigod reminds everyone of Qin Yueyang, which reduces everyone's fear.
But Parrot and the others were still very surprised, thinking that this incident was simply unbelievable, and were very wary of this woman named Qing'e, and did not dare to approach the fox fairy at all.
Qing'e acted very calmly at this time. She didn't seem to want to explain too much. At this time, she showed unusual indifference and simplicity. She didn't ask a word about the identity of Chen Zhi and others and the purpose of coming here.
.It seems that **** wants to take everyone to the divine mausoleum where the Nine-tailed Sky Fox is buried, so that she can leave this divine realm and go outside to find her husband Ren Quan from the Ming Dynasty.
After Chen Zhi waited for everyone's panic to subside, he asked them to rearrange their equipment and prepare to set off.
Chen Zhi first went to the entrance of the courtyard to check the situation outside the courtyard, only to find that the sky was filled with thick light yellow fog, covering the sky. The smell of meat had become very pungent, mixed with the smell of sulfur, which was already thick.
It was very thick surrounding the outside of the yard, but it was blocked by a row of small trees from entering.
Chen Zhi frowned as he looked at the mist all over the sky, and reluctantly returned to the courtyard and asked Qing'e, "Do you know when the aroma of the food outside will dissipate? Why are there so many food poisonous insects here?
"
Qing'e shook her head and blinked her eyes innocently, "I don't know. I fell asleep after entering the cabinet. I don't know what happened during this time."
Chen Zhi pondered for a while and said to everyone, "We don't have much time, but we are trapped here now. The smell of the food poison outside is getting stronger and stronger. We have to wait for the smell to dissipate before we can go out."
, but God knows when that will be. Or, we can find another way."
Everyone frowned after hearing Chen Zhi's words. In this strange place, it was impossible to find another way.
But at this moment, Qing'e next to her suddenly said, "I know another way."
"I know that there is a shortcut that leads directly to the shrine in the center of the city. It is a secret passage that only demigods know. When we were young, we often sneaked through this passage and ran to the shrine to play. I am not interested in it.
The road is very familiar, I will take you there, you follow me!".
After everyone heard Qing'e's words, they were excited at first, and then worried. The reason was obvious. Following this woman of unknown origin and letting a fox fairy lead the way would lead to being trapped in a trap.
After hearing this, Chen Zhi didn't move or say no. There was a little hesitation on his face.
"Okay, sister, we're relying on you!" Fat Wei responded loudly, turned around and whispered to Chen Zhi, "Okay! Let's go, don't think so much. Besides, why are you afraid of her? Sometimes
You have to learn how to pretend to be confused, don't you understand? If she really wants to help us, we will appreciate it! Think about it, if she really wants to do something evil to us, she still needs to choose someone
Do we only take action in the local area? We have already entered other people’s territory.”
What Fat Wei actually said makes sense. Although the identity of this woman who claims to be Qing'e is very suspicious now, it can be seen from the feeling on her body that she is not hostile. If Qing'e really wants to harm them, she will
There is no need to use cries to lure them upstairs, just do it in the dark. The most important thing is that they have no other way to choose right now, and following Qing'e is the only way.
After a period of rest, Shitou's condition is much better now, but maybe because he just swallowed the meat containing the poisonous poison and vomited too much, his face is still livid, his thinking is a little slow, and his hands and feet are a bit sluggish.
It's numb, but there's no problem in following the team.
Qing'e waved to everyone, indicating that everyone should follow her, and then quickly walked to the backyard.
They arrived at a corner at the back of the courtyard, where some strange small flowers with green cores and white petals were densely planted, emitting a strange aroma that made people feel like sleeping after smelling it.
At this time, Qing'e stretched out three fingers, quickly made a seal, put it to her mouth and whispered two spells. Everyone felt a slight vibration on the ground, and the flowers, grass and land in front of them immediately pressed the crisscrossing patterns.
The form split apart, like a bunch of puzzle pieces falling apart, revealing a large black hole underneath.
A section of stone steps was exposed below the black hole, leading directly into the darkness below, with no end visible.
"This is the secret passage," Qing'e turned to them and said, "This is a shortcut to the shrine, you all follow me!"
But at this time, no one moved.
When they saw this dark underground passage, everyone hesitated. They said there was a way to go, and they all thought it was an above-ground way. But what they didn't expect was that they had to go underground. The dark and deep passage
Inside the cave, it is pitch black and bottomless. I wonder what mechanism is hidden inside? Who dares to go in easily?
Qing'e seemed to notice everyone's hesitation, and her delicate face suddenly smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling, and she really looked like a fox in the dark.
"Don't worry, come with me quickly! After half an hour here, the aroma will invade the yard, and the fragrant trees will not be able to stop it. By that time, you will go crazy because of the poisonous poison.
Would you rather bite each other and devour each other to death?"
