Chapter 26: Journey to the Underworld 1
After patting the table, he got up and ran out, and I chased after him. I would definitely talk to him about this problem if I had the opportunity. I couldn't say anything first, and I was in a hurry, and I didn't give others time to prepare.
The two of us arrived at the gate of Yuxiu Building one after another. Xiao Jie kicked open the wooden door without glass, regardless of whether there was anyone around. A huge earthy smell accompanied by dust rushed over. Xiao Jie
Jay waved and walked in directly, and I followed suit.
Although it was daytime, the Yuxiu Tower was extremely dark, and there was thick dust everywhere. The slightest movement could cause dust to rise up. As soon as we went up to the second floor, the door to the first floor closed with a bang.
The sunlight on the second floor is even worse than on the first floor. There are thin and long black hair-like things hanging everywhere, as if they are growing out of the wall. They were not there last time.
Xiao Jie moved the index and middle fingers of his left and right hands back and forth, then touched his eyes, and his blue pupils turned into bright red. He looked around with his blood pupils, and he didn't know when there were two swords in his hand, a long one and a short one.
Purple lightning and green light. Those hairs retracted at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xiao Jie took out a talisman, muttered something in his mouth, and pasted it on the wall. He posted it almost every few steps until he reached the last one at the end of the corridor.
Room.
As soon as Xiao Jie stood there, the door was pushed open by a flood of hair. Xiao Jie waved his hands, and the sword edge of purple lightning and green light split open the door panel that rushed towards him. The large amount of hair behind seemed to be made of iron.
, braving sparks, not afraid of the power of purple lightning and green light.
Xiao Jie put away Zidian and took out a piece of yellow paper that was twice the size of an ordinary talisman from his pocket. He raised it and let it go, hanging it in front of him. Then he bit his index finger and quickly touched it on the yellow paper.
Flying, the other hand holds the green light and chops the flying hair.
When he finished writing the last words in one breath, the talisman flashed red from top to bottom. Xiao Jie stretched out his hand to grab the talisman, flew forward and rushed over, and I quickly followed.
As long as the hair touches the talisman, it will emit smoke. The smell of the smoke is quite foul and unpleasant. How can I describe it? It's like durian soaked in vinegar for more than a month and burned with plastic. Xiao Jie just carried the talisman all the way.
I rushed forward until I entered the last room, where I attached the talisman to a person who was wrapped in bandages, like a mummy, with hair emerging from the gaps in the bandages.
After the talisman was attached, the whole hair quickly withered like a big tree without roots, leaving only the mummy in front of it, and the whole room felt a lot brighter. Xiao Jie glanced at me, took a step back, and put away
Qingmang pulled out the purple lightning and slid it down. A stream of black smoke erupted from the place where the bandage was disconnected. Xiao Jie covered his mouth and nose, ran over and opened the windows on both sides. A gust of cold wind blew in, and black smoke came out.
It disappeared in an instant.
The mummy began to tremble, and Xiao Jie stepped back to me, "Can you beat this?" I heard him ask, and I was stunned for a moment. I didn't even know what was inside, how could I beat it? Before I could reply,
All the bandages on the mummy fell apart, and a naked man appeared in front of us. Looking at the other's red eyes, I knew he was very angry.
I took a step forward and asked, "What should I do? Kill him? Or subdue him?" There was no movement at all from behind. I quickly looked back. It was pitch black behind me. How could there be anyone there? He was so unloyal.
When I looked back, there was nothing in front of me, and I fell into darkness.
I held my breath and listened carefully to the movements around me. According to my eyesight, even if there was no light, it was impossible to see nothing. At this time, there was no other color except black. I roared, and the sound seemed
I was swallowed up by something, and even I could only hear a little bit. I jumped up with all my strength, and I didn't feel the jump, nor the fall, nor even a breath of wind. Whether I was running or punching
, no matter how hard I try, even if I simply clap my hands, there will be no sound. Even if I am deaf or blind, I can't not feel anything at all, right?
I felt tired for the first time, so I simply sat down cross-legged, thinking nothing, and emptying my mind. My whole body seemed to be no longer my own, and it slowly floated up. I seemed to be able to see my body, like
It was like watching a surveillance camera, and it felt like I was out of body, staring at me from the perspective of a bystander.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick... there was a sound. The direction of the sound seemed to be coming from all directions, and I couldn't hear it at all. I simply ignored it and acted as if I didn't hear it. But in my mind, it should be in front of me
A face appeared, a familiar yet unfamiliar face. She looked at me coldly, and then a clear tear flowed from the corner of her eye, across her cheek, down her chin, and dripped on
into my eyes.
Then the whole world suddenly lit up. I was standing on the edge of the cliff, holding a long sword in my hand. In front of me, six masked men in black rushed over with long swords. I subconsciously wanted to wave the sword in my hand towards
They stabbed it and discovered that my body was not under my control at all. I was like watching a holographic movie, I could see but not move.
"Why are you meddling in other people's business? If you had turned around and left, you wouldn't be like this now." I tied my whole body with bandages and smiled bitterly, "You said I was meddling in other people's business? I am a chivalrous man who eliminates violence and keeps peace.
, Acting chivalrously and doing justice is the chivalrous spirit I should have."
"What's the use of your chivalrous spirit? A great chivalrous person is doing it for the country and the people. If you survive for a few people and suffer such a serious injury, how many people will think of you? A chivalrous person like you is just trying to gain fame.
That's it. Maybe someone will remember you in the future, but you are just a reckless man in other people's mouth." Although my whole body was in pain, I still sat up, "I never said that I was a hero, but I didn't want anyone to
can hurt you."
"Hurt me? Do you think you can deal with people who can hurt me?" Being ridiculed by others, especially by people who care about me, I gritted my teeth and said nothing. Her expression softened, "
If you really care about me, go to the battlefield and protect the unarmed people instead of pretending to be a hero here." Ignoring the pain in my body, I tore off the bandages on my body and the blood flowed down instantly, "If I go up
If you go to the battlefield and kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, are you willing to marry me?"
The air seemed to freeze at this moment. After a long time, she stood up and looked at me with a cold gaze, "Now the war is raging and the people are displaced, but you still think about the love between your children. People like you,
He is not worthy of being my husband. My husband must be a great hero who has the world in his heart and saves the people from fire and water." Regardless of the severe pain from the wound, I tried to stand up, but fell to the ground, but I still struggled.
I stood up and said, "I can do anything for you, including being what you call a great hero." A cold voice sounded in my mind, "Then come to me after you do it.
!Before you become a great hero, you'd better learn your martial arts well. As for your three-legged cat kung fu, don't wait until you go to the battlefield. If you think about it when you are surrounded by enemies, no one will come after what you did today.
Save you." I gritted my teeth and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Give me five years and I promise to marry you."
"General, general..." I was brought back to reality by the calls. Xuyang stood in front of me, holding a spear in his hand. I turned around and looked around. It seemed to be an ancient street with shops on both sides.
, "Where is this place?" Xu Yang shook his head, "I don't know. I was sleeping, but I felt something abnormal around me, so I came out on my own initiative."
There is something strange about this place. There is no sunshine or moonlight, but there is no darkness at all. It's like the feeling on a cloudy day before it rains. The roads under your feet are all smooth stones, but this material,
I have never seen it before. The shops on both sides don't look like they are made of bricks or wood, but more like paper.
When Xuyang and I were aimlessly shopping, a man wearing a long gown came towards us. His face was extremely pale, and he lowered his head and didn't know what to think. Xuyang stepped forward and held him down, scaring the other man into panic.
I screamed in confusion, and I walked up to him and motioned to Xuyang to let go, "Can you tell me where this place is?" The man patted the dirt on his body, "This is the old part of Yousi City!"
Xuyang and I looked at each other, what kind of place is Yousi City? I have never heard of it before, so I continued to ask him, "Why are you the only one here? Don't you need to do business even though the shops on both sides are open?"
The man looked suspicious, "Human? Are you new ghosts who just died and didn't get their household registration? That shouldn't be the case? Newly deceased people can't come so far away?" When he said this, I think I have arrived.
I'm in the underworld, but how did I get here? Am I dead? But wasn't I already dead?
I sent away the man in long robes with questions, and Xu Yang and I wandered on the street. Is the underworld so backward? There isn’t even a high-rise building, but he said this is an old city. Is there a new city? There is one on this street.
There is no one, and I don’t know who to ask. The key is how to go back.
"Brother, that's him." I heard the noise and turned around to see that the male ghost in long gown had brought a group of ghosts over. "It's those two ghosts. They looked like they were just dead. They didn't understand the rules and they bullied me just now."
." The ghost called Big Brother pushed away the long-robed ghost and floated over, "It's just..." Before he could finish speaking, I asked him directly, "Do you know how to return to the human world?" That ghost
I was stunned for a moment, and my face turned ferocious, "What do you mean by that? If I knew how to return to the sun, would I still die?" I said, "Then do you know how to get to Xincheng District?" The ghost raised his fist and said,
"Then you have to ask it." After saying that, his fist grew bigger and bigger, and rushed towards him with a sinister wind.
Xu Yang stood in front of me, stretched his body three times, opened the opponent's fist, and lifted him up, "Our general is asking you a question." The kid next to the ghost disappeared without a trace.
"Sir, have mercy on me. I have eyesight but I don't know Mount Tai. I didn't know that you two are generals of the underworld. Please spare me!"
"Don't move, put that ghost down." A man in black uniform, no, it should be a ghost came over. He was holding a silver long-barreled pistol in his hand and pointed at Xu Yang, "I'll count to three.
, If he doesn’t let him go, I will shoot him, as soon as..." Xuyang threw the man over directly, and the ghost holding the gun was hit hard by the ghost who was thrown over, "According to the laws of the underworld, intentional injury
Underworld Police, you are under arrest."
Xuyang glanced at me and asked me if I wanted to take action. I motioned him to stand back. I walked up to the underworld policeman and pulled up the ghost on him. "Hello, we were just asking for directions. They were the ones who moved first."
