Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 11

I obviously came down the stairs just now?I muttered in my mouth, and walked there, the light of the mobile phone in my hand kept looking for the stairs when I came.

"Be careful!" If I hadn't been pulled by Zhang Feng, I would have almost fallen, and a huge abyss would have appeared out of thin air at the original location of the stairs. If you look carefully, you can see the red light of the stars flowing. Could it be magma?Have I reached the center of the earth?How deep is this?

"It's magma, forget it, don't think about it, let me tell you, we are not far from hell now."

"What? Why did I go to hell!" I couldn't believe Zhang Feng's words.

"What's so strange, if you can meet me, it shows the problem." Zhang Feng walked back to the position of the giant gate and looked up and down carefully.

"Then how did you get down?"

"Me? Every time I appear, it should be inside the door according to common sense. This time, I don't know what happened, but I ran outside." Zhang Feng stroked the giant door with his hands, his mouth full of doubts. "I said you, you, I said don't touch me, now it's over, we can't go back, what can my sister do?"

I don't know what to say, I feel a little guilty, Zhang Ling must be in a hurry now.

"This seems to be a trough, come and take a look!" I looked along the position of Zhang Feng's finger, and it turned out to be a familiar trough.On the side, there is a shape of a jade pendant embedded in it, which cannot be seen without looking carefully.

I took out the jade pendant from my pocket and carefully put it on.

"Wait a minute, do you really want to go in? What you have to face may exceed your cognition, and it will affect your whole life." Zhang Feng grabbed my hand and asked me seriously.

"Anyway, I'm already in it, and I can't go back if I want to, can I?" I said firmly to him, and Zhang Feng also knew that there was really no way out, so he nodded.

"If you can go back, you must be accepted by the old master as an apprentice. Although your qualifications are mediocre, you can always create surprises." Zhang Feng's words may not sound very pleasant, but they are true.

"If I can go back to Yangjian, I will definitely go to Zhang Muzhen to learn as a teacher." I said while putting the jade pendant on it, pressing it down hard, and quickly took a few steps back, waiting for the giant door to open.

We stared at the door for a long time, but there was no response. I looked at Zhang Feng, and he looked at me with the same expression.

"Why is there no response at all? Did I turn it upside down? I'll go and see." Before I finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake slightly, and gradually raised above the door on the left, showing the outline of a wild beast.There was also a gap between the two doors, and black dust was scattered from the gap little by little.

"Hold this, you may need it later." Zhang Feng handed me a copper coin sword, bit his middle finger again, and smeared blood on the sword.

Zhang Feng shouted loudly in my ear: "Remember, no matter what happens, don't be brave!"

The door bolt of this door seems to be rusted, and the sound of opening the door can almost penetrate the human eardrum.

The process of opening the door was very long. I was holding the copper coin sword tightly, and there was a layer of sweat on my forehead. Maybe it was the fear of the world behind the door.

"Follow me, don't fall behind." Zhang Feng began to walk towards the door. I followed him closely. I have never been here before. If you get lost, there is no "person" to help you .

"Our current location is the 'grey area'. Here, most of the people we can meet are lonely ghosts, unworthy evildoers, and occasionally there are some ghosts and the like. But there are not many, and the ghosts are even worse. Difficult to deal with, I will give you a handful of money for emergencies."

After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he handed me a handful of yellow paper money from Tiandi Bank, thinking that this money is essential no matter whether he lives or dies.

"When I die, I will give my father a dream and let him burn more money."

"Forget it, dreaming can only be done in the gray area, and it will be too late if you encounter a ghost. Do you remember Liu Jianguo said that his dead wife gave him dreaming? I suspect she was no longer here at that time Yes. The thing with a tail you saw before should have borrowed his wife's birthday horoscope to give him a dream."

"Borrowing the corpse to return the soul?" I don't know how to pop out such a sentence.

"You are not wrong to say that your aptitude is mediocre. I think it should be that evildoer who wants to practice and swallow the soul of the old lady. Generally, people who have just died don't realize that they are dead, and it is easy to be killed by others on Huangquan Road. The demon has been absorbed, poor ah!"

"Then no one cares? No, no one cares?" Zhang Feng snorted contemptuously after hearing what I said.

"What you are up there is what you are down there. Sometimes, I think it's better down here, and I don't need to be so intriguing and intriguing." Zhang Feng's words left me speechless. Thinking about it carefully, it really is like this Reasonable.

"However, there are exceptions. For example, if you did all good deeds during your lifetime, you can live comfortably afterward."

"How do you know so much? By the way, how many times have you come down, Brother Feng?"

"the second time."

"."

Hearing his answer, I wanted to give up.

"Although this is my second time here, this time I came alone, not counting your words." After hearing what he said, I almost vomited blood.

"Brother Feng, isn't this your first time here?"

"How can it be the same? I had a narrow escape last time when I came here. I even saw ghosts when I came here last time. The master said that every time there is a yin, the life span will be greatly reduced and the body will become weak. If we hadn't learned If a Taoist wants to help the world and save people, even if you beat me to death, you won't come down." Zhang Feng got excited when he saw that I suddenly stopped moving, and urged me to move forward.

"Ahead, it seems that someone is coming!" I saw a huge humanoid figure walking towards us not far away, and stopped immediately.

"It's not good, I really encountered a ghost! Let's hide for a while, and if it doesn't work, give him the money. You can't tell how many ghosts like this will come across on this road. Maybe it's because you don't have enough money." Zhang Feng He motioned me to hurry up and hide in a miserable ruin on the side.

I've been listening to him just now, but I haven't looked carefully at the world behind the door.Even after entering the door, it is still not very bright, and it takes a lot of effort to see the surrounding environment clearly.

The path we came from was paved with black boulders, which should be the same material as the door.There seemed to be some characters engraved on it, but I couldn't make out what they were.On both sides of the road are ash-like earthen mounds, a bit like grave mounds.Sparse unknown dead trees and weeds are scattered on both sides of the road.

Occasionally passing some abandoned buildings, I can't tell what style the buildings are, but what is certain is that these ruins exude an evil atmosphere.

I looked here and there, hoping that there wouldn't be any giant rats, big worms or something.Zhang Feng looked at the distance intently, and the ghost messenger who was getting closer and closer to us was about to come over.

I was still looking around, and suddenly I felt a cold feeling on my neck. I touched it with my hand and felt a handful of sticky liquid, which immediately reminded me of the scene in Alien.He slowly raised his head and said to Zhang Feng: There seems to be something on my head.

Zhang Feng may have been so absorbed that he didn't hear what I said and continued to observe the outside through the cracks in the wall.

I said you, you, you don't have that much ability, why are you picking this leader?

Seeing that he didn't respond, I held the sword in my left hand, and quickly pressed the flashlight button on my phone with my right hand, and then I shot upwards, and a huge mouth that was still drooling continuously came into view.

"Fuck, what the hell is this? It's so disgusting." Zhang Feng heard me talking and looked along the light.

"Don't act rashly. This should be a leech that has become a spirit. Look at his body." Hearing Zhang Feng's words, I turned around and saw Dazui's slippery body buried under the rubble.

"This thing can also become a spirit. It's really insightful, but Brother Feng, can you show me the way. I can see how much it drools, and I probably feel that we are not enough for it to eat."

"Don't panic, this thing is sensitive to blood. If we don't move around, he probably won't take the initiative to eat us." Although Brother Feng's voice was firm, I felt that his hands must be shaking.

"But it's so motionless, we can't waste it here," I said.

"It's okay. Let's withdraw after the ghost messenger has passed, and run directly back to the main road. There is a demon spell on the paving stones, and it dare not approach." Hearing this was finally reassuring, and we were deadlocked like this , Hearing the sound of the iron chain dragging the ground in the hands of the ghost messenger getting farther and farther, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I said one, two, three, let's run fast, one, two." Just when Zhang Feng was about to count to three, I put my hands on the ground and made preparations, planning to rush out.Unexpectedly, there was a raised stone on the ground with a very sharp edge. It cut my palm open and blood flowed out.

I cursed secretly, why is this person bleeding even after he is dead?Am I not in a soul state?The leech monster also seemed to sense the smell of blood, and its body trembled.The black fat on his body shook back and forth, making me sick to my stomach.Then it twisted its body, the flesh of its whole body seemed to have shrunk and squeezed together.

"No, run!" Before Zhang Feng finished speaking, he rushed out.I rolled, stood up and ran.A loud voice came from behind, the emotional leech was accumulating energy just now.

The two of us probably exhausted the greatest explosive power in our lives, and we rushed to the stone road in a few steps, and the two of us lay on the stone, panting heavily.

"I almost lost my soul!" Zhang Feng said intermittently, and I simply closed my eyes to feel the coolness brought by the stone under me.

"You said, our fate. Fate is true." Zhang Feng lost his voice in the middle of the sentence. I was waiting for the second half of the sentence. When I opened my eyes, a huge figure appeared in front of me.

I originally thought that the ghost mission should wear a black gauze python robe, similar to the one shown in the movie, a Qing Dynasty costume.But this is not the case. The ghost brother in front of him is more than eight feet tall, with eyes like copper bells and a pair of huge fangs sticking out of his mouth.He had red hair and a black face, and was holding an iron chain as thick as the mouth of a bowl. It was still stained with wet blood, and he looked like an evil ghost Rakshasa.

I don't know what shampoo he used, but when there was no wind at all, his hair was floating upwards.

"Stand up, come on." How dare we neglect, we stood up in a hurry, thinking carefully about how people should laugh.Isn't there an old saying that it's hard to hit a smiling face with a fist.

"My lord, I don't know what to do with my younger brother?" Zhang Feng talked to the ghost messenger with a playful smile.

"Don't be so hippie, why did you break into the underworld before your yang numbers are exhausted? Tell me the truth!" The ghost messenger spoke in a very slow rhythm, with reverberation, which sounded domineering and intimidating.

"My lord, to tell you the truth, I am a descendant of Zhang Muzhen. I have learned a lot of mystical skills. I ventured into the underworld privately for the purpose of helping the world and saving people. I want to investigate. If I offend you, please forgive me!" Zhang Feng said What he said was straightforward, and he didn't believe in the education level of the practical primary school.

"Hmph, as far as I know, Zhang Muzhen has no descendants. Where did you come from?" I couldn't believe that this ghost knew Zhang Muzhen.

"I don't know, my lord. I was originally from Jiangnan and was abandoned by my family. Zhang Muzhen met my sister and me by chance, and took them in together." I sneaked a sideways glance at Zhang Feng, and he explained with sweat profusely.

"Even if you talk about benevolence and righteousness, this place is not for you and other mortals to come and go casually. Since you have come, don't go back." After finishing speaking, he picked up the chain in his hand, looking like he was going to tie us up.

"Sir, wait a minute. I know that you are busy with official duties, so you didn't come empty-handed this time." After saying that, he winked at me, and I quickly took out the paper money Zhang Feng gave me before entering the door and handed it to the ghost messenger. .

"Bold, you dare to bribe me, I'm afraid you have eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!" Seeing that he was not interested, I was a little panicked, and turned to look at Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng didn't believe that this bastard was so upright. He quickly took out another large bag of ingots from his pocket and handed it over.

He looked at the ingot in Zhang Feng's hand, thought for a while and said, "It's about the same, but it's still too little. I can only let you go." The old guy of feelings only accepts hard currency.

"Sir, wait a minute! I don't know what the market is now, so I haven't brought enough silver. I'll bring you more when we finish our work and go back up there. Just let us go!" After saying that, he pulled me. Kneel together.

I don't know why, but this dog ghost gave me the feeling that I was handing in my homework in middle school. The class representative and his face were exactly the same.

"None of you mortals mean what they say. If you didn't leave just now, don't leave this time!" Just as he finished speaking, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Slow down!" !"

I looked along the ghost guard's legs, and found that it was a woman in a white dress, with a thin figure and a mask on her face.

The woman walked over quickly, it seemed that she was not afraid of this ghost.

"Who are you?"

The woman didn't answer, but took out something that looked like a token from her waist and pointed it at the ghost messenger.As soon as Guizha saw this thing, he immediately took two steps back.This token seems to be more than just a token, it is white and flawless, similar to the jade pendant I picked up earlier.

"These two people broke into the underworld secretly. The younger one wanted to take him back to see the Master, but these two people actually thought." Before he could finish speaking, the woman waved her hand to signal him to stop talking.With the help of the light of the token, I could see Guizha's face clearly. It turned out that he could not move his mouth when he spoke.

"Leave it to me, let's go."

"But." The ghost guard wanted to say something, but when he saw the token in the woman's hand, he seemed frightened, so he nodded, and then walked behind us, and the sound of the chains dragging the floor gradually faded away.
