Chapter 49: The World in the Mist
With the light reflected from the ice layer in the river, I saw that the man on the slope of the river bank had a pale face, his skin was wrinkled, his eyes were half closed and half open, and there was no luster at all... I couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. Who is this? This is clearly a dead corpse crawling out of the morgue... This is a male corpse, his facial features were twisted together, and he couldn't tell his age, and his hair was tied up, just like a person who had just washed his hair in winter, and he didn't combed it, and walked around the ice and snow, and frozen.
Yu Xin was like me, and after seeing this person clearly, she was shocked. Both of them couldn't understand what the situation was like in front of them. Could it be that this thing was called us in our sleep before? How did this dead person live?
Such a picture appeared in my mind... In the gloomy and cold county hospital, the door of the morgue slowly opened, and a dead body walked out quietly, walked through the small door, and came to the hospital guesthouse. Then, he followed the stairs of the guesthouse to the second floor and came to the door of Yuxin's room... Yuxin, who was sleeping, heard someone calling her outside the door, got up in a daze, walked out of the house, followed the dead man, and came to the door of my room. Hearing the call, I also got up and walked outside, but I tripped by the bag containing the magic weapon and woke up. So, the dead man took Yuxin away alone...
I felt a creepy feeling, and the pores in my body suddenly opened. I raised my arm and pointed the dead body with the Seven Star Sword.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
I asked loudly, and after I asked, I felt a little more courageous. The corpse stood straight, her clothes were wrapped around her body with wrinkles. Although there was no light in its eyes, I could feel that it was looking at me...
Master once told me that if you encounter a ghost blocking your way when walking at night and the other party looks at you with your eyes, then your eyes cannot be removed and you must look at it bravely. In this way, the ghost will not dare to attack you, and then you can find an opportunity to escape or launch an attack...
Thinking of this, I widened my eyes and stared at the corpse's eyes. Because I didn't know what it was, I didn't dare to attack rashly.
After a stalemate for about two or three minutes, I whispered, "Yu Xin."
"Hmm?" Yu Xin responded nervously.
"Don't be afraid." I took a breath slowly, "behind me."
Yu Xin seemed to nodded, and stepped back little by little, and then jumped behind me with a "rubbing". My heart also jumped violently, but fortunately, the dead body did not pounce on me.
"Very good..." I licked my cold and cracked lips, "I count to three, and you will go back with me."
"Um."
“One…two…three, retreat.”
I protected Yu Xin, staring at the dead man while retreating, and finally retreated down the slope of the river embankment. With a turn, I retreated south along the river channel. Seeing that it was still standing there and not moving, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, I heard Yu Xin 'ou' behind me, and then said, "Be careful."
Before I could react, I felt something tripping on my heel, and staggering, and then fell backwards. Yu Xin reached out to support me.
At this moment, I saw the dead body in the distance lying straight on the slope.
"A Leng, what is it doing?" Yu Xin asked in a low voice.
"have no idea…"
Before I could finish my speech, I saw the dead body crawling towards us along the river bank. Its posture was very strange, like a big frog. As for the speed, it was about the same speed as the mummy guards crawled in the American blockbuster "Mummy 2"...
"Yu Xin, run!"
I pulled Yuxin and turned around and ran. After a few steps, something suddenly jumped down from the river bank to block our way. I looked closely and found that it was the dead body before. After it landed on the ground, it stretched out its arms and pinched it towards Yuxin.
"careful!"
I shouted loudly, raised my foot and kicked it. When I kicked it, it felt like I was kicking a hard iron plate. With a "kick" on my ankle, my calf almost stopped. I was bounced back two or three meters and fell heavily to the ground. I saw the dead body pounce on Yu Xin again, Yu Xin dodged to the side and dodged a blow.
I jumped up, took out a lonely and empty talisman, and beat the corpse, and it avoided it on one side. I jumped in front of me and slashed the corpse with a sword. Although it didn't work at all, it slowed down. I pulled Yu Xin and ran north.
The wind sounded in my ears, and I didn't know if the corpse was chasing me. I ran for nearly half a mile in one breath. Finally I couldn't run anymore. Looking back, I saw that the corpse was also running, only sixty or seventy meters away from us.
Yu Xin couldn't help but screamed, and I was so scared that I was so scared that I pulled Yu Xin to continue running. After running less than a hundred meters, Yu Xin suddenly pulled me.
"What's wrong?" I asked gasping.
Yu Xin stretched out her hand and looked forward. My eyes almost fell off. She saw a cloud of fog floating in front of us about ten meters away... The ghost fog last night!
Yuxin and I looked at each other, and eagerly, I pointed westward and said, "Go!"
When I rushed to the bottom of the river embankment, I screamed in my heart. The river embankment in this area is high and steep, almost vertical. We had no choice. I inserted the Seven Star Sword into my waist, jumped first, jumped onto the embankment, and after a few steps, the soles of my feet slipped violently. In a hurry, I stretched out my hand and grabbed a root that emerged from the mud of the river embankment. At this time, Yu Xin also climbed up and grabbed another one.
The two of them pulled the aura root and climbed up again. The aura roots on the dike were frozen hard and crisp. After only one step, the one on my hand broke with a bang. Then, Yu Xin's one was also broken, and both of them fell down.
Fortunately, the clothes I was wearing were thick, but I fell down so much that my internal organs almost moved. I struggled to get up with Yu Xin. As soon as I helped me, the dead body fell in front of us.
I hurriedly pulled out the Seven-Star Sword, and spread the sword to protect Yu Xin. To my surprise, the dead body did not attack us. I and it were in the stalemate that was before.
Just as my mind was turning sharply and I was thinking about countermeasures, I saw something vaguely emerged from the body of the dead body. This was a man, a man in ancient clothes... After this "person" came out, the dead body fell to the ground.
I finally realized that the reason why this dead body moved was because an ancient dead ghost was attached to it... Suddenly, I felt something licking my neck. In amazement, I looked back and saw that the fog floated behind me and Yuxin. As soon as I saw clearly, my eyes were pitch black and I could not see anything...
"A Leng, where are you, A Leng?" Yu Xin's voice seemed to come from the horizon.
"I'm here!…"
I reached out to touch it, and felt that I felt someone, and Yu Xin was vaguely there. I hurriedly pulled her and pulled her into my arms.
"A Leng, where are we?"
"In the ghost fog, don't be afraid, be good..."
My eyes looked around and I could see nothing at all, "Let's go and see."
I hugged Yuxin and groped forward. I felt that after walking for a long time, the darkness in front of me was still endless.
"A Leng, can the Jade Goddess break the fog?" Yu Xin asked.
"Silly girl." I smiled bitterly, "Although you are used as a medium, the Jade Goddess can only be invited once in her life."
"Then are we going to be trapped to death?"
"I think of something else."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt soft under my feet.
"What's going on?" I was shocked.
"I don't know." Yu Xin said.
As they were soft and soft, their feet suddenly became empty, and Yu Xin and I fell slowly downwards. The feeling of being both real and illusory was like a dream.
"A Leng, are we dead? When we fall to the end, will we go to the underworld?" Yu Xin asked.
"Don't talk nonsense..."
I was not sure about it, and I didn’t know what the situation was. Fortunately, there was Yu Xin next to me. If it were me alone, I would definitely have collapsed. I don’t know how long it took, but from the senses, it seemed that after a long time, my feet touched the realm. Then, my eyes lit up and I saw Yu Xin.
"Where are we?" Yu Xin asked.
Looking around, I was stunned. There was a strange world in front of me. It was gray, the sky was extremely low, and I couldn't see the sun, and there was a desolation everywhere.
"Listen, what's the sound?" Yu Xin said.
I pricked up my ears and vaguely heard many shouts and shouts.
"Let's go and take a look."
I plucked up my courage, walked with Yu Xin, following the sound, and the more I walked, the louder and louder I climbed up a wide and long slope, and suddenly there was a wide big ditch. In the ditch, countless people were digging the soil. These people were shirtless, old and young, and there were also people who looked like supervisors, carrying long whips.
Yuxin and I looked at each other.
"Is this... this happened when the Grand Canal was dug?" I looked around in horror, "Where are we?!"
Suddenly, a few supervisors walked out of a simple house on the slope, and one of them took the lead, which looked vaguely familiar.
"What are you going to do?!" They came to me and I asked vigilantly.
I couldn't understand anything about these people saying "Wuliwulu". Suddenly, I remember who this person was, the "person" who came out of the dead body. I vaguely seemed to understand what was going on...
One of the supervisors came to me horizontally and stuffed a pointed shovel with a very strange shape into my hand. The other few stared at Yu Xin in a daze.
"Depending on what you mean, the reason why I got me here was to do river work?" I smiled.
The man seemed to understand what I said, hummed, pointed at me, and then pointed to the river. Then, he pointed at Yu Xin again, made a hug, and shook his lower body and shook again. The other supervisors grinned, revealing their black teeth.
I was furious, "Go home and go!"
