Chapter 69: Encounter the Ghost City Again
Hearing Li Sanwazi's weak shout, I hurriedly looked up, and at this moment, Li Sanwazi's soul was bound by a black iron chain, and no matter how he struggled, it seemed that he couldn't break free. I immediately waved the rope and broke the iron chain heavily, but the soul of Li Sanwazi did not fall but rose, and floated straight out from the top of the cave. I opened my mouth and suddenly understood that Li Sanwa's life should not be extinguished, and he didn't really die, so naturally he wouldn't fall down.
However, Li Sanwazi's soul does not have the ability to return to his own body, he has been tormented by the old ghost so far, and it is already a muddy nightmare, no, I have to catch up as soon as possible and beat Li Sanwazi's soul into the body! With that in mind, I turned around and got out of the cave exit and made my way through the passageway, galloping outside!
A moment later, when I had crept out of the underground cave to the ground, under the moonlight, I glanced anxiously at the hill opposite, however, I did not see the soul of Li Sanwazi. It stands to reason that his soul should float out of the ground, even if it can't return to his own body, it should be wandering around, at least let me see where this kid's soul is floating!
I suddenly thought that the eye of heaven was in the underground cave, eroded by those evil spirits, and was forced to close, and immediately opened the eye of heaven, but it was okay not to open it, after opening, not only did I not see the soul of Li Sanwazi, but even the figure of the big black dog was gone...... What happened? I came up from the underground cave just now, and it was just the work of the Xuan, could it be that there are other ghosts and monsters in this area who have come here and detained the soul of Li Sanwazi?
Gedi, I was shocked to hear the wild barking of the big black dog, which kept disappearing towards the east side of the mountain road, that is, the sound of the dog barking came from the east. That...... That's not right! It was Ziyan, the female ghost of the Xishan ghost clan, who forced Li Sanwazi to get married, if the Xishan ghost clan sent ghost soldiers to detain Li Sanwazi's soul, he should return to the Xishan ghost clan, that is, he should go west.
How did it go east? I frowned, and I couldn't help but sigh depressedly in my heart, when I rescued Li Sanwazi just now, why didn't I directly catch the soul of this kid? It's all my fault for being careless, letting him float out on his own, and being locked away again. Thinking of this, I hurriedly looked up at the sky, and at the same time pinched my fingers and counted the hours, not good! In two hours, the sky will be dawn, if Li Sanwazi's soul can't be sent back to his body before dawn and let him return to yang, then Li Sanwazi may really become, become a ghost!
I, I seem to understand what those demonic practices mean. They are obviously playing a game of delaying time with me, maybe because I have subdued the old ghosts here, those ghosts and evil things think that they are not my opponents, and there is only one way to fight Li Sanwazi's idea, that is, to make him a ghost forever, only then can he have a chance to marry the female ghost Ziyan. Otherwise, they won't be able to succeed with me.
Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but scold fiercely: "Mother! After that, I hurriedly chased towards the east of the mountain, but before I ran a few steps, I suddenly turned around and came back all the way to the top of the hill, no longer hesitated, directly put the body of Li Sanwazi on my back, and then rushed down the mountain in the direction of the east. Now I have to take Li Sanwazi's body to chase after his soul, otherwise even if I snatch his soul back, it will be too late to rush back and forth.
It's just that I carried Li Sanwazi's body all the way, so my speed of catching up was greatly slowed down a lot, but I still kept one more, and there was a big black dog to guide me, at least I wouldn't be delayed on the road. Big black dog, big black dog, whether you can save your master depends on whether you can bite the traces of those evil things, don't lose it! Alas, I sighed lightly while speeding up, if I can't save Li Sanwazi this time, then the purpose of my trip here will be meaningless.
In this case, how should I explain to Master?
Half an hour passed quietly, and after I climbed two or three hills, I finally found the figure of the big black dog. I saw it squatting in front of a mountain col, and there was a huge black stone in front of the mountain pass, and the big black dog was honestly squatting next to the black stone. I couldn't help but be completely dumbfounded when I saw the scene of the big black dog being empty all around...... Did this stupid dog finally lose it?
"Kuroko!"
I gasped for breath, carried Li Sanwazi to the big black dog's side with difficulty, and asked anxiously: "You, don't tell me, you really lost it!" Do you know, Sanwazi...... Oops! Why are you biting me? Don't bite my trouser legs! I'm just going to have such an unpatched pair of pants now, you ......" I didn't finish my sentence, but I saw the big black dog whining and lowling, and bit my pants tightly, pouting and back, and constantly kicking the ground with his front paws.
At first, I was still wondering, but gradually, I found that the big black dog seemed to want to tell me something, and finally, after being dragged around the big black stone by the big black dog, I asked in astonishment: "Kuroko, are you telling me that only in this way can I find the soul of the three children?" In order to find those evil things that kidnapped the souls of the three children?! ”
"Wang!"
When the big black dog heard my words, he wagged his tail and barked at me, and then kept jumping around. I hurriedly turned my head to stare at the huge black stone in front of me, and now I realized that this huge black color, both in terms of color and appearance, seemed to be completely different from the surrounding rocks. Moreover, when I approached this huge black stone, I could clearly sense a cold and piercing aura.
Stretched out my hand and gently placed it on the black stone, and suddenly, at the same time that a cold and piercing breath entered my arm and reached my whole body, the Haoran righteous qi in my body also rushed out in an instant, forcing that yin qi out. But at the moment when the yin and yang were intertwined, I looked at the black surface in front of me in a daze, and two rows of quaint handwriting appeared. These handwritings were all flickering like flames, as if the words were all imprints of a red-hot soldering iron.
"Heaven has no way, hell has no door......"
Two rows of eight words, while seeing these eight words, my eyes widened slightly, there is no way to heaven, no door to hell? This, is this another place that wanders between the boundaries of the Three Realms, some kind of ghost market-like place? I remember that when I came back from Miaojiang, I entered a ghost market with the old pig fairy and the master, but strictly speaking, it was not a ghost market, but a demonic temple. Maybe this place is the real ghost city!
The so-called ghost market is at the boundary between the two worlds of yin and yang, which does not belong to the underworld or the yang world. However, most of the people who were able to go there were unwilling to enter or retreat due to fate, so they fell into it forever and could not be exalted. Thinking of this, I felt like someone had poured a basin of cold water, cold from my head to the soles of my feet, and now there was still an hour and a half left, but the big black dog told me that Li Sanwazi's soul was captured in the ghost market, how can I find a soul that is hidden deep in the vast ghost market?
sat weakly on the ground, and put Li Sanwazi's body on the ground together. At this moment, I miss Master so much, if only Master was here. It's a pity that even if the master is here, I can't use the Dao method to save people, so I can only rely on myself, alas...... However, the time given to me now is only one and a half hours, where can I rescue a person's soul from the ghost market in an hour and a half?
"That's right!"
My brain suddenly became hot, I jumped up, patted the back of my head hard, and immediately grinned: "I'm so stupid, I almost forgot that there is an error in the hours of the yin and yang worlds, and one and a half hours in the yang world is equivalent to several days in the underworld." But even if it is a ghost market between the two worlds of yin and yang, it should take at least a day and a half, that is to say, as long as I enter the ghost market, I will have a day and a half to find the soul of Li Sanwazi and bring his soul out! ”
If you can't do it in an hour and a half, then a day and a half is definitely more than enough! I grinned again and hurriedly looked back, stunned again. There was not a single ghost around except for an empty and desolate mountain pass...... Wait, just now the big black dog seems to have told me how to enter the ghost market, my mind is in a hurry, I immediately put Li Sanwazi's body in a relatively safe place, and then came to the black stone, and asked the big black dog guarding Li Sanwazi's side: "Heizi, can you enter the ghost market just by circling around the black stone?" ”
The big black dog barked at me and wagged his tail. I was about to lift my steps, but I stopped and asked, "But how many turns do you have to turn around to get in?" A lap? Two laps? Three laps...... Seven laps? ”
"Wang!"
When my words fell on the number seven, I only heard the big black dog bark quickly, I hurriedly paused, and grinned: "Good boy Heizi, you take good care of the three babies, and when I come back, remember not to let any ghosts and evil things invade the body of the three babies during this period, otherwise even if I find his soul before dawn, and his body is occupied by other ghosts, it will be useless!" ”
After receiving an affirmative reply from the big black dog, I finally put my mind at ease and walked quickly around the black stone. One lap, two laps...... Five laps ...... Six laps, seven laps...... When the seventh lap turned, I seemed to have a flash of inspiration, waved my hand and slapped the black stone, and shouted "Open!" ”
A trembling sound of "hum" came out, as if the black in front of me was split into countless pieces by a strong force, and then dispersed like lightning, and turned into a cloud of thick black gas, I only felt that it was black in front of me. I opened my eyes again in a daze, and couldn't help but be stunned, because what was no longer an empty and desolate mountain col in front of me, but a brightly lit and lively ancient city street......
