Chapter 43: The Ghost Gate
"Little Chang, you mustn't be careless. Especially when you go out of the ghost gate later, if you hear someone calling your name you must not answer, understand?"
Just as Zhang Zhenren sent me to Fengdu City, the entrance to the city, he was still uneasy and urged.
It seems that both the old man and the woman have one thing in common, and that is that they are both so nagging. So I used the same method I used to deal with my mom at home, nodded my head and said, "Okay, okay, okay, clear." But in my heart, I am not an ordinary person, I am a person who has learned the Maoshan arts, how can those little tricks to call the soul deal with me ah.
However, Zhang Zhenren still said endlessly, "I know you must think that those tricks can't be difficult for you, but they will change into your family's voice, and even become your family's appearance to seduce your soul. You mustn't believe it, okay?"
"Oh, good, ah ......! What do you mean, they'll take the form of my family?"
I was nodding my head impatiently and vigorously when I suddenly heard him say this, but I was surprised. Thinking about it like this, it was really close, if he didn't say anything, when I really saw my family members shouting at me, I would definitely have to be trapped.
Zhang Zhenren saw me finally serious up, so then said in a serious manner: "Of course, otherwise why would I tell you this matter ah. Anyway, you have to remember that no matter who you see calling you, you must not answer him, otherwise your soul will be hooked. And I also heard from my colleague that the ghosts at the Ghost Gate Pass can read minds, they can read out the person you miss the most and the person you like the most in your heart, so you have to be careful."
So it turns out that there are such powerful ghosts at Ghost Gate Pass, so it seems that I have to be more careful when the time comes. Thinking of this, so I said to zhang zhenren: "you said I remember all, you feel at ease to go back to busy, after going out I will burn paper money to you."
Zhang Zhenren smiled and nodded, said: "Well, count your kid a little conscience, did not accept you as a disciple for nothing, but you'd better burn an automatic mahjong table over by the way. Yan Wang there is a that thing, can be convenient, surprisingly, even the cards do not even hand wash, heh ......"
I sighed, Zhang Zhenren is really degenerate ah, it seems that whether in the netherworld or the yangworld, this official really can not do.
After Zhang Zhenren's repeated admonition, I began to be extra careful. Do not go through a lot of danger, to this last moment but lost the front hoof.
Although the last Zhang Zhenren said that the mahjong table thing to ease the atmosphere, but this separation when the feeling of reluctance or still that thick, after all, a few years have not seen, and now only meet one or two hours to be separated, who will not be able to let go.
Zhang Zhenren patted my hand, said: "go, be careful, go out and remember what I said, more accumulation of virtue, I don't want you to even next year's robbery can't avoid, and then let me see you here then, will not spare you this kid."
I sighed, yes, the separation of the end to separate, before is the separation of life and death, I was born in the yang world, Zhang Zhenren to go to the netherworld to die; and such as between is Zhang Zhenren in the netherworld to die, and I want to go to the yang world to live. Life and death two goodbye, even if it is again close relatives, even if it is again how do not want to give up, are ultimately can not be a long time together.
I don't know when, Hando leaned over, pulling my hand and said, often in, don't daze, let's listen to your master's words and hurry back, miss the time I can't finish with you.
In this way, in the reluctance to part with Zhang Zhenren again, out of the city gates, to the return journey to rush.
Taoist family members in the netherworld when crossing the nether, is unable to recognize the road, relying on crossing the netherworld into the white horse to guide the way. As long as there is a white horse, it will not be lost, it will take us all the way back to the yang world, you can say, this white horse in the passing of the yin people's talisman.
However, after walking for not long, we realized that something was wrong, because at this time, the road we were walking on was completely different from when we came before. Because after walking for so long, in front of us has always been a gray sky and earth, while the bridge of ghostly shadows that we walked through when we came has never appeared.
Walking, I suddenly remembered, this fucking return trip turned out to be walking on the yellow spring road, no wonder it was different from the last time we walked, because when we came we didn't cross the yellow spring, and directly entered a small town.
As the saying goes, it's not good to walk on the Yellow Springs Road, there are no young and old on the Yellow Springs Road. Indeed, looking upward on the Yellow Springs Road, we couldn't see the sun, moon and stars, looking downward, we couldn't see the land and dust, looking forward, we couldn't see the great Yang Guan Road, and looking backward, we couldn't see our friends and family.
As we keep moving forward, we only see that the souls of all the ways are crying and refusing to go forward ......
People's sense of survival is the strongest, but on this yellow spring road and how many people can return to the soul? Let the soul how to plead, how to make every effort to escape, can not break the hands of the Yin soldiers this chain of death, all the way back.
Isn't there a saying that there is no inn on the road to the Yellow Springs, and the life and death of the life and death of the life and death of the life and death of the life and death of the life and death of the life and death. There is no inn on the Yellow Springs Road, because if an inn is built, there will be souls who do not want to go forward and become lonely ghosts. Therefore, in this no inn on the road of the Yellow Springs, the sun has more money in the road of the Yellow Springs is also the same in vain, no matter how tired the souls walk, the ghosts will not let you rest to delay the trip, must be rushed out of the road of the Yellow Springs as soon as possible.
Walked forward for an unknown period of time, finally out of the Yellow Springs Road. Appeared in front of us is a dozen steps, above the steps is a high wall of black stone. Black stone wall is uneven, a closer look to realize that the protruding wall is not stone, that is clearly a human brain cover. On the wall were three big blood-red words - Ghost Gate Pass!
Stone wall in the middle of the two gates, the two gates is the color of red. Just above the door plate is also with human skulls do embellishments, and then with this vermilion door plate, as if hundreds of thousands of human heads in the blood flow in general, appear to be horrible.
Looking at this incomparable horror of the door, my whole body feel creepy, Han Dao is directly leaned over, dead pull me. But have come here, as long as out of this door in front of us will be able to return to the world of the living, I can't turn around and go to be a ghost for the rest of my life.
I spit out water, stabilized my mind, comforted Han Duo, and then lifted my step towards the stone steps ......
Just as I stepped onto the stone steps, I heard a shout resounding behind me, and the voice seemed very familiar.
"Xiao Chang ah, grandma called out to you, you should not even?"
Grandma? Yes, it was my grandmother's voice. But didn't grandma die a long time ago, how come she didn't go to reincarnation, instead she would still appear here? Could it be that what Chang Zhenren said was true, that grandma's voice behind her was a ghost transforming into a ghost?
"You little Changzi is so heartless, I loved you in life for nothing. Grandma I came to the netherworld alone and lonely, now has not been reincarnated, you help grandma ah? Woo......"
I was doubting the authenticity of the voice in my mind, but the grandmother behind me was complaining and crying at the same time.
"Could that person really be grandma? Has she really not been reincarnated yet?"
My heart thought like this, but I didn't dare to turn around, I was afraid that if I turned around and really saw my grandmother, I wouldn't be able to help but want to go over there.
And while I was hesitating to turn around and look, she spoke again, "Little Changzi, I'm so pitiful down here, come over here, come over and keep grandma company!"
At this moment, behind me, Han Duo anxiously shouted, "Chang Zi Zi, she must not be your grandmother, if she is your grandmother, she will definitely not let you go over, how would your grandmother want to see you not being able to return to the sun, she must be a ghost transformed into a ghost."
After Hando reminded me of this, I immediately came to my senses, yes, it must be a ghost that changed. I then stopped thinking and continued to cross the steps. I knew that a minute earlier out of this ghost gate, there would be one more point of safety.
"Apprentice, finally caught up with you, alas, I'm exhausted! I still have things I forgot to tell you yet, you now follow me back first."
However, just as I stepped onto the last step, a voice came from behind me again, and that voice was the voice of Zen Master Zhang.
Upon hearing that it was Zhang Zhenren's voice, I turned around and looked over without even thinking. I saw that the person in front of me was really Zhang Zhenren, and the words he said did not seem to be false, I opened my mouth and was about to reply, the side of the Han Dao immediately shouted: "Don't listen to him, he's not your master, he's a spirit of the dead transformed to."
Hearing Hando's words, I was so scared that I hurriedly closed my mouth. Asked her, "Hando, how do you know that he is a dead soul transformed?"
"Because Zhang Zhenren had instructed a long time ago that you can't answer anyone when you cross the Ghost Gate Pass, and since he said so, naturally he wouldn't still come to call you at this time." Han Dao said sharply.
I nodded, for the things that appeared in front of me, I still trust Han Dao more.
"Zhang Zhenren" saw that I had penetrated his illusion, and then he changed back into his original body. I saw that he was bleeding from his seven orifices, and the white robe he was wearing had bright red dots on it, so horrible. He roared with a fierce face, "Come here and give me your soul!"
Sure enough, it was an evil soul phantom, and in his heart, he recited that it was so close, and then continued to walk towards the gate of the Ghost Gate Pass. Fortunately, all those ghosts were just hooking souls and didn't rush up to snatch the souls, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to cope with them. It's not that I'm afraid of not being able to defeat them, it's just that I'm afraid that if they turn into my family's appearance, I won't know how to start.
After going up the steps, there was the gate of the Ghost Gate in front of me. The sky I was in was dark, while the outside of the gate of the Ghost Gate was blindingly bright. Having stayed in this netherworld for a long time, suddenly seeing the light outside the gate, my eyes were stung to the point that I couldn't open my eyes for a while.
Finally saw the light, finally will go out, as long as out of this door, I will be able to return to the world of the living. Thinking about this, my heart was incomparably agitated.
Not only me, Han Dao also shouted excitedly, accelerated speed, three steps into two steps quickly ran towards the door .......
And just as I was about to follow suit and head toward the ghost gate, I felt that all the scenery in front of me had changed. The whole sky and earth was shining with sunlight, birds and flowers, and the warm sunlight filled my whole body, making my whole body incomparably comfortable. Although I had walked the path of the Netherworld, I wasn't really a ghost, so the sunlight wouldn't cause any harm to me.
I stretched comfortably and then started to look around. The next thing I knew, I saw my body on a big bed in a hotel a hundred meters away from me.
"Haha ......"
I couldn't suppress the happiness in my heart and laughed out loud, then I was ready to walk towards my body.
"Chang Zi Zi, are you going to leave me behind?"
Just as I was about to walk towards my body there, Han Dao's voice sounded behind me.
"Hando?"
Upon hearing that it was Han Duo's voice, I panicked and turned around to look, only to see her standing at the doorway inside the Ghost Gate, with a face of sorrow and sadness.
