The fox said it was just a waste of time. I looked forward and I really wanted to go back.
It was only when I looked back that I understood the fox's words, there was no way back, there was really no way back, the road behind had disappeared, and the hell flowers spread on the road, flooding the entire road.
The fox also looked back with my eyes, and seemed to know that this would happen. The fox shouted loudly, "Don't leave!"
I was frightened by the fox and was shocked. My legs on the single-plank bridge trembled, and the person almost slid down. It was finally settled down, and the fox said again that I was a coward.
I know that no matter how scared I am, I can only move forward. Life and death are fate, and wealth and honor are in heaven. It has come to this time. If you can live, you can live. If you can't live, it's not a pity.
Taking a deep breath, I stood on the single-plank bridge with both feet. Instead of looking down, I looked straight ahead, and walked slowly as if it were flat ground.
The fox followed me, and both of them did not dare to exert their anger. They tried to breathe quietly, for fear that if someone was not careful, they would be unable to stand firm.
The hot flames below seemed to be about to rush up, and you could feel the burning feeling under your feet through the soles of your shoes. I kept reminding myself not to look down, as if you look down, you will be doomed.
I found that although my balance ability is not good, as long as I don’t look down and stare forward with concentration, I will walk very smoothly, as if there is a strange magic power maintaining my balance.
Soon, I walked across more than half of the bridge safely. I thought one-third of the road was difficult to pass, but after more than half, I breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, I suddenly felt something slippery under my feet. I felt relieved and couldn't help but leave happily. As a result, I didn't have time to control the slippery body and fell backwards.
I only have one thought in my mind, it’s over, now I’m done!
I reached out and grabbed it randomly, and my whole body fell down. A wave of heat rushed towards me from behind. My eyes were getting farther and farther away from the wooden bridge, and I could clearly see the fox standing on the bridge, still expressionless, and the snail I stepped on.
Just when I thought I was dead, something suddenly wrapped around my waist. I suddenly opened my closed eyes and saw that the nine tails on the single-plank bridge had turned into a fox, with nine tails flying, one of which was rolling on me.
The fox leaped a few times in a row, and I was swept to the other end of the bridge by the fox, and then placed on the ground.
The fox's tail shrank back, and I looked at the fox with panting. Fortunately, the fox's reaction was fast just now, otherwise I would have been afraid that the corpse would be gone at this moment.
"Thank you." I said to the fox.
The fox stood up and looked at me coldly, as if he was very dissatisfied with me. After the nine tails flew for a while, the fox turned into a human form.
"You are much less useful than I thought." The fox said to me.
"You think of me too much." I glanced at the fox and said.
"What would you do if I didn't choose to help you?" the fox asked as he walked forward.
"There are two possibilities. One is that I tried to survive the sadness, and the other is that I died here tragically." I said with a smile.
The fox's afterglow caught my smile and frowned and asked, "Do you still have the heart to smile? This is just the entrance. When I really got inside, I don't know if I can save your life."
"Don't you see that I'm smiling bitterly? This is called happiness in suffering. Life and death come from fate, wealth and honor come from heaven. To be honest, it's not easy for me to live to this day. I don't have much fear of life and death. However, thank you for saving my life. You are a good fox." I said to the fox.
"Call me Jiuwei. I'm not a good fox. I saved you for myself." Jiuwei said after a cold look at me.
I followed Jiuwei with a smile and walked forward. After crossing the single-plank bridge, it was still the world of hell flowers. But this time the difference is that the hell flowers are not on both sides of the road, but below the road. We were walking on a suspension bridge scene, with a blood pool and a covered hell flowers. The bright red color seemed to be a blood-stained quilt covering the entire world below.
The suspension bridge squeaked as we walked step by step, shaking as if standing on a swing. Fortunately, the suspension bridge gives people a very solid feeling and does not seem to fall apart at all.
Jiuwei said: "There should be a step ahead."
I shone the flashlight in front and squinted my eyes. In fact, the place where the flashlight shines, there is still darkness in front of me, and I can't see the so-called stairs at all.
Jiuwei said: "You can see it after taking a few more steps."
I followed Jiuwei for a few steps. Sure enough, not long after, I saw that the suspension bridge had reached its end, and further forward was a spiraling step.
Seeing the steps, I couldn't help but speed up my pace. The Jiuwei, who had been urging me to slowly get up and didn't look anxious at all. Jiuwei said, "What's the hurry? Be calm."
I turned my head and looked at Jiuwei, and saw that it looked very alert, as if I had noticed some danger.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked.
"I don't know." Jiu Tai said coldly.
I felt a little bored. I seemed to be deeply disgusted by the fox. I didn't talk to Jiuwei anymore, but took out my own exorcism battle and walked forward carefully.
When Jiuwei saw me holding an exorcist warrior in my hand, he asked in surprise: "What is this?"
"Exorcist war," I said, "I used to be a ghost hunter."
"That's the Heavenly Master?" Jiu Tai looked me up and down, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like that. It's the Heavenly Master who cheats money, right? I've seen a lot of that kind."
"Although I lack the ability, I have more or less caught ghosts, but I have never seen monsters. To be honest, sometimes I wonder if you are the product I imagined, or if I am dreaming now?" I looked at Jiuwei and said, "The recent experience has really made me feel crazy. If an ordinary person had encountered such a thing, he would have gone crazy long ago. Ghosts, fairies, monsters, mutant species, and science fiction films are not shot like this, but I did meet them.
Jiuwei suddenly stopped and reached out and grabbed my arm.
"What are you doing?" I looked at Jiuwei in horror. This beautiful fox would not want to seduce me at this time. I was really afraid that I would not be able to control myself by being seduced by such a beautiful fox. Gradually, I seemed to like this fox more and more. Jiuwei's personality is very interesting.
"Ah!" I screamed.
Nine-tails did not seduce me, but pinched my arm, "I heard that humans use this method to confirm whether they are dreaming."
"Okay, I understand now that I'm not dreaming." The corners of my mouth twitched. I couldn't say the wrong thing in front of this fox.
After taking another two steps, we reached the end of the suspension bridge.
What appeared in front of us was a circling staircase, another transparent staircase, emitting a cold air. I am sure this was an ice stone again.
And as I expected, Jiuwei frowned and said, "Ice Stone, cold and bone-like, can you go up?"
I don’t know if the spell cast by the King of Hell on me before was still effective. I stood up with one foot and tried it out in uncertain terms. I found that I only felt a little cold in my legs, but it was not a big deal.
Nine-tailed looked at me suspiciously: "You are not invaded by the cold."
I smiled without explaining, just said, hurry up and take a look, and then go up first.
Jiuwei followed soon. This was an air staircase with no support on both sides. There was only an empty road in the middle. The bottomless black on both sides was not deep. The width of the stone steps was not large, but only about one meter. Although it was much better than a single-plank bridge, if you look on both sides, you would still feel chilling.
I shine the flashlight in front of me and the exorcist battle in the other hand. The more I go up, the more I feel scared and my legs will tremble involuntarily.
The stairs are very long and look like there is no end. The more I walk, the less I feel, the less I feel. I look back from time to time to look at the Nine Tails following behind me.
After seeing Jiuwei's solemn face, I felt a little calmer. If there was only one person in such a place, I would be afraid to go crazy. Fortunately, Jiuwei was by my side.
I became more and more aware that I was fragile and vulnerable, and there were always people around me. Without the people who accompanied me, I was afraid that I would not live long.
Jiuwei noticed my strangeness and said, "Don't think about it, concentrate on moving forward."
I nodded silently and walked forward. The more I walked, the more I felt that the cold air under my feet was particularly cunning. Could it be that the curse that the King of Hell put on me began to fail?
I subconsciously looked down and fell to the ground suddenly, almost falling into the abyss.
"You're looking for death!" Jiuwei roared at me, a little worried.
And I widened my eyes and looked at the bottom of my feet. The light of the flashlight moved to the stone steps, and then my hands began to tremble constantly.
When the clang flashlight could not withstand my trembling hands, it slid down onto the stone steps. After rolling for one step, it was quickly picked up by Jiuwei.
I opened my mouth wide and looked at the stone steps under my feet in disbelief. I was extremely frightened, like countless insects that were piercing my heart gradually penetrated into my heart through the capillaries all over my body.
What did I see? How could this happen? I only felt my eyes were sour and my nose was sour. That indescribable sense of fear penetrated my whole body.
I must have read it wrong, I must have read it wrong, I looked up at Jiuwei and asked earnestly: "I'm wrong, tell me if I read it wrong, I'm hallucinating it, everything is dreaming, right? You just appeared in my dream, right?"
