On the Avenue

After this battle, Chen Shi was sleepy and tired, so he took a nap in the car. When he woke up, the wooden car had arrived at Huangpo Village.

Grandpa boiled the medicine and was busy back and forth. It was late at night before the medicine was ready.

Chen Shi drank a pot of medicine, soaked in the medicine vat, and gradually fell asleep in the medicine vat.

Fortunately, the night was uneventful and his old illness did not relapse.

"Is my illness already cured?"

When he woke up in the morning, Chen Shi was very happy. He felt that the breakfast made by his grandfather was not that bad.

Moreover, grandpa did not break his promise when he went to the county town this time. He indeed brought him delicious food from the county town, including candied haws, glutinous rice cakes, stinky tofu, and candy figures, which made him smile from ear to ear.

"Grandpa's medicine is useful, and it's also useful if I practice Sanguang Zhengqi every day. Maybe it can cure my disease!"

Chen Shi looked forward to his future life, so he worked harder and harder. After worshiping his godmother, he practiced the Sanguang Zhengqi Jue and used the Big Dipper to temper his body.

The day was very fulfilling. At night, Chen Shi drank medicine and took a medicinal bath. He practiced the Three Lights Righteousness Technique for a while before lying down to sleep.

He slept for an unknown length of time. When he was enjoying his sleep, he suddenly felt an extremely strong pain in his heart, and his heart twitched violently!

When Chen Shi woke up, he knew that his old heart problem had recurred. He struggled in bed and tried to get up and activate the Sanguang Zhengqi Jue to resist.

However, the pain was so severe that it drained him of all his strength. His heart seemed to be crushed and crushed into a ball, causing the blood in his body to stop flowing!

He wanted to breathe, but couldn't.

The air in the lungs seemed to have been emptied by the blue ghost hands!

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

Chen Shi was surrounded by great panic. He opened his mouth to call his grandfather, but no sound came out of his throat.

It was still night, and Grandpa probably wasn't at home, so he wouldn't have noticed that he was in danger.

"Black pot! Black pot!"

Chen Shi wanted to call the black pot, but he still couldn't make a sound. The big black dog in the yard seemed to hear something, raised his head, listened carefully, shook his head and fell asleep again.

Chen Shi's eyes gradually turned dark, so dark that he couldn't see the moonlight outside, and so dark that he couldn't even see the beams.

His eyelids became heavier and heavier, his mind became more and more dizzy, and his body twitched uncontrollably, like a fish that was fished out to death.

His body jumped violently on the bed twice, and finally calmed down. His limbs twitched from time to time, but the frequency of the twitches became slower and slower, and the amplitude became smaller and smaller.

Finally, Chen Shi became quiet.

There seemed to be a light in the darkness, illuminating the darkness in front of Chen Shi.

He opened his eyes, surrounded by heavy mist, and from time to time, miserable howls could be heard in the distance, like humans and injured beasts.

Chen Shi widened his eyes and looked around hard, but couldn't see anything.

"Grandpa!" he shouted.

"Grandpa!" "Grandpa!"

There were many sounds coming from the mist, from all directions and corners, calling for grandpa. I don’t know if it was an echo or something weird.

Chen Shi was surrounded by fear. He knew that he should stay where he was and wait for his grandfather to find him, but he couldn't help but take steps forward.

He felt that his body had become lighter than ever before, as light as if it did not exist. The mist was like grains of snow-white, fine and weightless sand, passing through his body, feeling cold and cold.

"I'm probably dead." Chen Shi thought sadly.

There were footsteps in the mist, and he followed the sound and saw another figure, a young woman with a pale complexion walking towards her in despair.

Her neck was dripping with blood, and as she walked, blood poured out from a gap in her neck, staining her clothes red.

She spoke as if speaking, but Chen Shi couldn't hear anything.

The woman lowered her head sadly, but her head fell down and landed on the ground.

The woman squatted on the ground and groped around with her hands, but she still couldn't find her head.

A woman's helpless cry came from the mist.

After a while, she found her head, held it up and put it on her neck. She came silently behind Chen Shi and walked slowly.

Another person came out of the mist. He was a man with a big belly. He looked like a powerful person. He was wearing gold and silver and had a high and commanding air. However, at this moment, he looked quite down and out. He had been stabbed countless times. The wound was still bleeding.

Especially the abdomen, full of fat intestines flowed out and dragged on the ground.

He struggled to hold up his intestines with both hands and followed Chen Shi.

Chen Shi walked forward in a daze, and met more people in the mist. Each of them died in his own way. Some were missing arms and legs, some had a big hole in their head, and some had a burst heart and liver. Some were bleeding from pus, some were blown up until only half of their bodies were left, and some were burned into cokes...

Chen Shi was not afraid. He had seen many ghosts and gods and was no longer afraid.

"I must be dead."

He felt a little sad, "I was in so much pain in bed that Grandpa didn't notice, and neither did the scapegoat. They might be very sad when they find out I'm dead the next day."

I don’t know what my face looks like. If it’s too hideous, grandpa will cry.

He didn't want grandpa to cry.

There is a long queue in front of you, with no end as far as the eye can see. How many people are walking mechanically in the mist, not knowing where they are going.

Chen Shi walked forward with the weird people behind him to get along with the team.

They moved on, and more people joined the larger group.

There were many more people in front and behind Chen Shi. They were the other two teams. They walked like zombies and there was no end in sight.

In front of him, more teams appeared. It was crowded. The strange thing was that despite so many people, no sound was made.

Only miserable howls were heard from the fog from time to time.

Suddenly, a huge claw stretched out from the fog. It was skinny and covered with scales. It didn't look like a human hand. It grabbed a person and retracted into the fog. Then there was a chewing sound in the fog.

"Hehehe!"

Something laughed in the fog.

Chen Shi was terrified, but the people around him ignored it and continued to move forward numbly.

At this time, more claws stretched out from the fog, grabbed a person and retracted into the fog. Chewing sounds and giggles were heard from all directions.

They seemed to have walked into a feast held by gluttons in the mist, except that they were the delicacies at the feast, and the monsters hidden in the mist were gourmets, tasting the rare delicacies!

Chen Shi didn't dare to move forward, but his legs seemed to be unresponsive and were still moving forward mechanically.

In the mist around him, more and more "gourmets" came to taste the food, and there were more and more giggling sounds. More claws stretched out, grabbing people who didn't know how to resist and shrinking back into the mist.

Chen Shi's scalp was numb, and he saw a bony big hand grabbing him. He wanted to avoid it, but his body was still moving forward mechanically, and he couldn't avoid it at all!

Seeing that he was about to be caught by the big hand, suddenly there was a drum sound, like a drum, and like a broken gong, the sound was a bit dull and rustling, but it scared the claw back.

"Chen Shi——"

There was a call from behind him, accompanied by the sound of drums.

Another subtle scent of incense came into Chen Shi's nose, which was also vague.

"Xiao Shi——"

He heard this call more clearly. It was his grandfather's voice, and the sound of gongs and drums became clearer.

"Grandpa!" He burst into tears.

Grandpa's voice came: "Xiao Shi, follow the sound!"

Chen Shi tried his best to stop, turned around with difficulty, and walked in the direction of the sound. Every step was extremely difficult, like stepping on a mountain of knives, like wading through a sea of ​​fire, and his legs felt a sharp pain of piercing bones and scraping flesh.

He listened to the sound and moved forward with difficulty, but the sound was intermittent, and could only be heard with the sound of drums and incense. If the incense or drums were cut off, he would lose his direction.

Surrounded by surging people, only Chen Shi went against the flow, and was knocked to the ground and stumbled.

He walked for an unknown period of time, but still did not get out of this feast of gluttony. There were big, bony hands everywhere, and he might be caught at any time.

Just as he was about to be overwhelmed, the mist suddenly parted, and in the mist, a huge creature with fireworks spurting from its nose and stomping on the ground, shaking the ground, rushed towards this side.

When the huge creature came to him, Chen Shi found that it was a black dog, which looked like Hei Guo, but countless times bigger, like a hill.

"Hei Guo, is that you?"

The black dog was like a demon from the underworld, ferocious and fierce, with fire in its eyes, burning the jagged hands that grabbed it, and with a snap, its sharp teeth bit off a big hand. Then the nose moved, sniffed the smell of incense, and the two burning pupils rolled around, and the eyes fell on Chen Shi.

"Hoo!"

The black pot, as big as a hill, was so excited that its tail swept wildly, stirring up gusts of wind, crawled down, let Chen Shi climb on it, and then turned around and ran wildly.

"Dong Dong!"

The sound of gongs and drums became louder and louder, and the call of grandpa became clearer and clearer. Chen Shi lay on the back of Hei Guo, holding the black dog hair tightly in his hand. Suddenly, he felt that the light in front of him was getting brighter and brighter, so bright that it was dazzling.

He raised his hand to block the dazzling light, and then a joyful voice came: "Wake up, Xiao Shi finally woke up!"

Chen Shi opened his eyes and gradually adapted to the light. He looked around confusedly and saw that he was in a somewhat dark and strange room. The air was filled with a strong smell of incense, and the walls were blackened.

An old woman with white hair wrapped around her head sat in the corner, holding something like a gong in her hand. When she tapped it lightly, it made a sound similar to gongs and drums, and there was also a rustling sound.

There was also a large brazier on the ground, and there was a paper talisman burning in the brazier. The flame was very high, more than one person tall.

Behind the flame was a big black dog squatting, its eyes were illuminated by the flame like fire, and when it blew out of its nostrils, it was the smell of fireworks. It was Hei Guo.

Grandpa sat on the other side of the brazier, with a ball of mixed water and fire floating above his head.

"Where is this place?" Chen Shi wondered.
