Chapter Forty-Four: Difficult Brothers
But it's too late to say anything now, the other party has already kidnapped people, and no matter how much they curse the heavens and the earth, it will not have any effect.
With the departure of the group of ghosts, the power that held the circle was slowly weakening, the wind in the air was much less, and the fog was gradually dissipating.
These evil spirits and ghosts, unlike others, have no shadow under their feet, come and go without a trace. As soon as you enter the Yellow Spring, it is difficult to find.
I couldn't tell the direction of the ghost group, and naturally I didn't know how to find Bei Dye, and Ji Changkong was anxious. Keigo saw his anxiety and didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he just patted him on the shoulder silently.
With this raising of his hand, he suddenly saw the red in his hand, and turned to great joy, and said, "The veil of the ghost bride is still with me, and we can rely on it to identify the traces of the ghost group." ”
Ji Changkong was not happy because of this clue, and said abruptly: "But, how can we know which one is the real North Dye?" If you make a mistake, it will be a waste of time. ”
Indeed, two groups of ghosts, one to the south and the other to the north. If the ghost bride on the sedan chair is really Beidye, then it is better to chase it, even if there is a bloody battle, you have to snatch people back; But if not, they were led to the opposite place, wouldn't it be more dangerous to dye the north?
What's more, this group of ghosts is insidious and cunning, how can they know if this veil is deliberately left behind to confuse the two.
Unable to think of the safest way, Ji Changkong stood in the fog and lost his mind for a while.
It's all to blame on him, knowing that this place is dangerous, and he is so careless. Obviously, Bei Ran is in his arms, and someone else can take advantage of it and let people snatch her away.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and slammed his fist on the stone wall beside him. He was unscathed, but the stone wall shook a few times by him, and the gray stone fell in a plop, almost dying instantly.
Seeing this, Jingwu hurriedly pulled him away, for fear that he would not pay attention and destroy all the houses around him by mistake.
Ji Changkong was pulled by Jingwu and walked a few steps, distraught, and was about to shake off his hand holding him, when he inadvertently kicked something at his feet. He paused, stunned, and then crouched down to pick it up. Keigo followed his movements, focusing his gaze on the item in his hand.
It was a shiny black obsidian, and the daylight that had cleared from the fog filtered through its center, reflecting a deep and mysterious light.
Although they hadn't looked at this thing a few times earlier because of their fright, they all recognized that it was the eyeball of the scarecrow who had lost the bag and dyed it north.
After carefully studying it for a moment, a trace of joy finally surfaced on Ji Changkong's face that had not been stretched for a long time, he put the beads away and said to Jingwu: "Separate chase." ”
Jingwu was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant, and responded: "Okay! ”
*
In the large and empty environment, there was constantly the sound of water droplets falling, "popping, popping" around Ji Changkong. But he only heard his voice, but did not see his shadow, and there was nothing in the darkness all around. And he himself seems to be in a state of chaos, his body can't move, and even his consciousness is fluctuating.
This feeling is familiar, like stepping on cotton, and the whole body is soft. My mind is very empty, I have no desires, I want to be very much and just fall asleep all the time. But he quickly reacted that it was the effect of ecstasy. He tried his best to use the spiritual power in his body, and finally pulled back his distant consciousness, and then gradually woke up.
He opened his eyes, and as far as he could see, he was still dim, only glimpsing a few white flowers floating around in the distance, but he couldn't see what it was.
And the "popping" sound he heard in his sleep came again, and at this moment it was more and more clearly surrounding his ears, again and again, with a strong sense of rhythm.
It took another half a moment for his body to ease up a little. At this moment, he clearly felt that water was dripping onto his hands. And it seems that it has been dripping for a while, and most of his sleeves have been wet, and they are attached to his arms, which is cold.
He frowned and muttered; "Where's the water?"
As soon as the words fell, a male voice immediately sounded beside him, saying, "You're okay, look at me." ”
This voice was very familiar, Ji Changkong blinked vigorously, and his vision brightened a little. He looked at the source of the sound, and saw that only a step away from him, Keigo was tied to a stone pillar by several red silk flowers, and his whole body had been drenched into a soup chicken, and water was dripping all over his body.
The water came from a huge sink above his head, and a small hole was drilled in the bottom of the tank, and the water flowed down from the hole, and it happened to be poured on the top of Keigo's head.
And above Ji Changkong's head, there is also a similar sink. It was only the position of the hole that was drilled a little off, and the hole was very small, dripping only on the arm, so he was spared.
Seeing Jingwu here, Ji Changkong was very surprised, but he didn't say anything, and only continued to operate the spiritual power in his body in order to recover quickly.
Keigo was the first to speak and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Ji Changkong asked rhetorically: "What about you, why are you here?" ”
Speaking of this, Jing Wu became angry and said indignantly: "Before, the two of us acted separately, you went to chase the coffin, I went to chase the sedan chair, and we both caught up, but they were on the road, and somehow they were here." ”
Ji Chang thought that it was really similar to him, so he said, "Each other." ”
Hearing that such a shrewd person in Ji Changkong will also have a day when he will be calculated by the little ghost, Jing Wu turned from anger to laughter, and after laughing, he sighed again: "It seems that I still have to go to the ghost world in the future, among the six worlds, only this world is not familiar, and I just planted a heel here." ”
When he said this, his face was decadent and depressed, and the top of his head was filled with water, and the fine flowing water slid down his cheeks, and his long hair, which was already drenched, drooped listlessly on his shoulders, looking like a white water ghost.
Ji Changkong didn't bother to laugh at him, he just wanted to find out what was going on, and asked, "How long have you been here?" ”
Keigo replied, "I don't know, just wake up a little before you." ”
Ji Changkong said again: "What kind of place is this?" ”
Jingwu pouted to the side and said, "Oh, ask them." ”
Only then did Ji Changkong see clearly that in front of him and Jingwu, there were more than a dozen ghosts looking at them intently, and that posture was very similar to that of a prisoner. And when he just woke up, he saw a piece of white flowers in his daze, which was the little ghost in front of him.
The difference is that the ghost who guards him is dressed in white, while the ghost who guards Keigo is dressed in red. The two columns of ghosts stood on their own side and did not interfere with each other. It's about the same as when you rob people on the street, you go your way, I'll go mine. And at this moment, you are staring at your captive, and I am staring at my captive.
"May I ask, what kind of place is this?" Ji Changkong's tone was stiff, and he said to the white-clothed ghost.
When the imps heard the sound, they looked at each other, and the same thought came to their minds. Rolling his eyes, he replied, "Do you still need to ask, of course this is our king's mansion!" ”
Jingwu sneered: "Heh, the ghost will roll his eyes." ”
When the ghost heard this, he felt that he had been insulted, and he was so angry that he ran out and brought a ladder in, climbed the stone pillar that bound Keigo, and blocked a large part of the mouth on the sink with a small pebble.
The flow of water was blocked, and it was much smaller in an instant, no longer flowing down in strands, only a few drops intermittently, and Jingwu finally didn't have to be washed by the water all the time. But the little ghost was very proud, and when he returned to his partner, several people clapped and cheered together, and said, "Block your water, see what you do." ”
Jing Wu didn't know why, and asked, "A few ghost brothers, can you let me ask, this water ......?"
A ghost learned the tone in which he had laughed at them before, and said, "Oh, look at the thin skin and tender flesh of you, white and pure, drowned, right?" ”
