Chapter 173: The Ghost Calls the Soul (Part II)
"Huh? Me, am I really out of my body? Then I'...... Am I a human or a ghost? "I remember that my soul was out of my body once, but that time I was rescued by the master, but this time it was different, this time the soul was originally in the body well, and it was called out by a ghost voice. I don't know that this can only be done when the ghost sends a soul, and once the name of the dying person is called, the soul of that person will automatically leave the body and follow the ghost to the underworld. But whoever is taken away by a ghost, then, what is it that is not a ghost?
"Huh...... Li Ergou, of course you are a ghost now, don't you see the body lying on the ground below, which has become cold and unconscious?! Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of me, and I fixed my eyes to see that it was a long-haired ugly man holding a black iron chain and wearing a black robe, staring at me with terrible eyes, constantly looking at me.
"You, you, you...... Is it a ghost?! ”
I looked at the man again, his face was sallow, and there was an endless pale, as if there had never been a wave. He stared at me coldly and indifferently, and after a long time, he nodded slightly, and the chain in his hand "hulala" burst out, and pounced on me without warning. I was so frightened that I turned around and was about to run, shouting loudly as I ran: "Senior Zhang said, I shouldn't die this time, you, you can't take my soul away!" You can't......"
"Bold, I am a ghost in the Yin and Yang worlds, you are already in danger, and you will pass away soon, I will take you away now, and what is the difference between other ghosts and ghosts?!" The Soul Arrester reported his name, and I muttered even more in my heart, he turned out to be a Soul Arrester, but he was not a real ghost. I remember that although the ghost is not an official ghost, it does the work of the ghost, and like the ghost, it also asks for the souls of the deceased everywhere and brings them to the underworld. Obviously, it is to make merit by robbing business with ghosts, in order to naturally be able to get a positive result as soon as possible. It's a pity that I'm not dead, how can this soul-detaining ghost detain my soul indiscriminately? "You, you still can't detain my soul, my life is not over!"
As I spoke, I ran as fast as I could, only to see that there seemed to be an endless open space in front of me, and it had long lost the appearance of the fifth-layer Jiao Palace, and it didn't look like a crack in the ground. It's like ...... It's like the underworld! I didn't expect that I had already escaped to the underworld, Zhang Xuan's predecessor was right, the fifth-layer Jiaodian is indeed connected to this underworld, but now that I have come to the underworld, isn't it even more troublesome?
How do I get back? Also, if Senior Zhang Xuan saw that my soul had left my body, would he know that he came here to find me?
All of a sudden, a myriad of sad thoughts popped up in my head, but none of them seemed to be optimistic. Now the only thing I can do seems to be to resist the soul detaining my soul to the underworld, and once the judge draws a stroke on me in the book of life and death, then my life will be completely gone!
Wrong...... Wrong wrong!
Seeing the iron chain with sharp hooks and barbs, like a poisonous snake, chasing after me, I hurriedly quickened my pace, and at the same time, I shouted out loudly from the injustice in my heart: "Since you soul-detaining ghost have the magical power to know the life and death of people, then you should know even more that I have already worshiped the Maoshan faction, and now I am a disciple of the Taoist sect, you have no right to take me to the underworld, even if I am really dead, there are Taoist gods to take care of it, and it is not your turn to take care of my life and death!" ”
"Humph......"
The ghost's cold laughter was low and shrill in the back, and I had goosebumps falling all over my body. Then the soul detainer ghost said: "Li Ergou, I don't care if you are from the Daomen or not, now you are a dying person, once you get to the underworld, if the underworld has no right to dispose of you, you will have your own place, but one thing I can be sure of, you can't live no matter what, as long as I hand you over to the underworld, I will give you another credit, hum......"
"Mother's! You only have to take credit, and you don't care if you should be detained or not, you just come to detain my soul! "I ran forward as fast as I could, shouting insults at the back, but what could I do if the soul-detaining ghost seemed determined to send my soul to the underworld? If I am really recognized as having reached the end of my life, then I will never want to go back! Gritting my teeth, I hurriedly argued again: "Even if I am taken to the underworld by you, I will sue you in Yan Jun, you have no right to replace the work of the ghost, but you are indiscriminate, and when you see that people are about to die, you will detain the soul, simply, it is simply messing up the laws of the Yin and Yang worlds, you ...... Are you guilty?! ”
That being said, I don't have much confidence in my words, because I can't take anything with my empty hands and soul now. And the master has long been separated from me, otherwise the master will definitely save me, it's a big deal to burn down an evil sword for me, I'll have a big fight with this guy first, but now...... Now I can only fight to run for my life!
"Just a ghost, you are not qualified to teach me, now the further you run, the closer you are to the underworld, I am not in a hurry, watching you slowly enter the capital city!" After the soul ghost finished speaking, he sneered again, and then said: "By then, my mission this time will be completed, Li Ergou, you shouldn't have died in the cave where I practice, otherwise I may not be too lazy to care about your life and death, now, you have only one way to die!" ”
"Huh?"
I suddenly woke up, it turned out that this ghost was a personal vendetta! Just because I was lying half-dead at the entrance of the passage of the fifth layer of Jiao Palace, he wanted to deal with me...... Wrong! Could it be that this soul-detaining ghost is a ghost entrenched in the fifth-layer Jiao Palace? And the ghost that Zhang Xuan's predecessors said was also him? If you think about it carefully, if this is the case, this soul-detaining ghost is not running around in the yin and yang worlds, robbing business with ghosts everywhere, escorting newly dead ghosts into the underworld. When you think about it, it's just how you describe him!
Now I know, it's too late. Because I can clearly see the Huangquan Road under my feet, and further on, there is the Vicious Dog Ridge, then the Nai He Bridge, and then the Xudu City! Along the way, I could still see the figures of other ghosts escorting other ghosts, but when they saw me and the ghosts chasing me, they seemed to look sideways, but in the face of this ghost, they also seemed to be indifferent and didn't care about him at all.
"Help! I'm not dead! I saw the two ghosts in front of me escorting a new ghost forward, and hurriedly ran forward and shouted for help. But as soon as I spoke, I saw that the new ghost was like me, crying out loudly that he was not dead, and begged for help. Mother, it's okay not to shout, but when I shouted, all the new ghosts on Huangquan Road actually followed my loud shout to resist. It made those ghosts suddenly become scrambling, constantly scolding those new ghosts to be honest, and glaring at me angrily, so frightened that I hurriedly closed my mouth.
Seeing that it is impossible to shout for the ghosts on the side of the road to save their lives, after all, they are the ghosts who ask for their lives, where are the masters who save people. I called out to them, and there was almost no hope. Thinking of this, I sighed deeply, and galloped forward, and the black iron chain behind me chased me like a wind, and in a short time, I crossed the Vicious Dog Ridge from the Huangquan Road, and not far away, it was the Nai He Bridge.
It is said that once the deceased person crosses the Nai Ho Bridge, he is truly helpless and becomes a real ghost!
No, I can't cross the bridge. As soon as my brain was hot, I stopped in front of the Nai He Bridge, and seeing the pitch-black iron chains in the distance, and the menacing Soul Arrest Ghost had arrived, I shouted angrily: "I will never be able to do the Nai He Bridge!" No matter what you want, I will never let you get your wish, if you want Dao Ye to die now, Dao Ye will not die! But as soon as my words fell, I felt that something was wrong, because the ghost had not given me a chance to defend and resist, and the black chains, with a "snort" sound, surrounded my body, coiled continuously, as if they would pounce on me at any moment and restrain me.
At the same time, the soul detainer slowly stopped not far away, and said with a sneering face: "Li Ergou, it's useless for you to say anything now, this time you just don't want to, you have to cross the Nai He Bridge, hehe......" The cold laughter filled my mind, and it shook my head to a terrible pain, and I finally couldn't help but stretch out my hands to hold my head. But I gritted my teeth, and let the chain hit me little by little, and I still didn't plan to take another step towards the bridge.
"Bold! The new ghost reported to duty, why did he stay in front of the bridge and refused to cross the bridge for a long time?! ”
Suddenly, an angry and somewhat majestic voice came from above, and I frowned violently...... How can it be so familiar? At the same time, I hurriedly looked up.
When the ghost heard this, he trembled with fright, and hurriedly lowered his head and said with a flattering face: "Lord Ghost, this kid has just died, and I have already escorted his soul here, but he still insists on refusing to cross the bridge, and asks Lord Ghost to calm his anger, so I will cast a spell to let him cross the bridge honestly!" As he spoke, the Soul Arrester's face became more and more hideous, and he suddenly waved his finger at the pitch-black iron chains that swirled around me.
But it was also at this moment that I was surprised and inexplicably shouted to the ghost who came to check in mid-air: "Brother Chang! Brother Chang is you? I, I'm a second dog! Brother Chang save me!! "This ghost is no one else, it is the ghost who had some friendship with me at the beginning, the experience of rescuing the old madman, I still remember it vividly, and the ghost is always alive, I still remember it vividly. I never thought that in the midst of great danger, I would actually meet an old acquaintance.
Heaven will not kill me!
