Just a few hours ago, I just finished discussing with Taoist Meng what the food of ghosts is.
But in the blink of an eye, I saw this scene, not to mention how exciting it was!
It is estimated that the dishes on the table are tributes, these guests are here to improve their lives, and the essence emanating from the sun in the sky is probably the food for these pedestrians on the street.
If it is what I think, then all the things in front of me should be ghosts. This so-called Shanyin City is also a ghost town in the true sense.
Damn it, my manna is in a ghost's nest, it's obvious that he has wandered into the underworld!
I really wanted to cry without tears. I turned my head to look at Mr. Yin, but he looked at me with a sneer expression and asked: "Do you know where this place is now?"
I shrunk towards the window, tremblingly said I understood, and asked him again, why did I come to this place when I was clearly walking in the mountains just now?
Mr. Yin snorted coldly and said, "I don't have much yang life left, and I have a special yin energy. At first, he thought I was regarded as a dead person, so I wandered here inexplicably."
But then I thought about it, Shanyin City is surrounded by the Nai River on three sides, and I don't seem to have any skills, so it's impossible to cross over. And the north is the residence of Emperor Dongyue, so it's impossible for ghosts to get close.
Until he heard me say that he had not met Naihe and that he came from the south, after much thought, there was only one way left, which was the gate of hell guarded by Meng Laizi.
What he talked about was like a fantasy. I was stunned for a while, so I asked him about the gate of hell? Isn't that thing in the underworld?
Then Mr. Yin sneered and said, "Then where do you think this is?"
This sentence completely stunned me.
The gate of hell? The underworld? According to him, I am already a dead person now?
I raised my head and looked at Mr. Yin with a horrified expression. I was about to ask him how I died, but he interrupted me with a wave of his hand.
Then he started to explain to me, asking me not to worry. Although I am in an out-of-body state, it does not mean that I am dead, because my life span has not yet expired, and this Shanyin City is not a real city.
The underworld can only be regarded as the dojo of Emperor Dongyue.
Then he asked me again: "When you came from the south, no one stopped you?"
I shook my head and said no. Apart from Taoist Meng, I haven't seen anyone else in these few miles.
Mr. Yin raised his eyebrows and asked me, Taoist Meng? Which Taoist Meng? I frowned and said, it’s the lame Meng you’re talking about.
"Oh, that's it."
Mr. Yin nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask me: "Then what is your relationship with Meng Laizi? Why didn't he stop you?"
I said, how did I know that I came to the mountain to ask him for help when I was in trouble, but he took me away and started chatting with my friend. They were probably chatting enthusiastically, and he didn't want to stop me.
Mr. Yin said "Huh" and raised his head at me, indicating that he wanted me to continue talking.
I told him what happened after I left Daochang Meng's house, from crossing the barren mountain to seeing the archway, to meeting the proprietress and being dragged in. Anyway, I told him everything.
But while I was talking, I began to wonder, what on earth does Mr. Yin do, and what is the identity of Daoist Meng?
The Gate of Hell, something that has only been heard in legends, is actually guarded by Daoist Meng? How can that bastard old man be so virtuous and capable?
There is also Mr. Yin. Judging from the attitude of these people towards him, we know that he must not be an ordinary person, or maybe not an ordinary ghost. The key is how did he get to know Daozhang Meng?
There were too many questions in my mind, and my thoughts were a little wandering, but as I was talking, I suddenly heard Mr. Yin scolding him sternly: "You lied!"
His voice was so small that even the people around him couldn't hear it, but his attitude was extremely stern. The sound of his voice made me break out in a cold sweat.
At that time, my whole body was covered with hair. It took me a long time to react. I asked him blankly what he meant and why I lied?
Mr. Yin sneered at the doctor and said: "Huh, I've been to Meng Laizi's place. The surrounding area is surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there are even strange cliffs and waterfalls. If you want to take a walk, why don't you go see those scenery?
Are you going to climb that barren mountain?"
After speaking, he narrowed his eyes and asked me with a sinister look on his face: "Tell me, who sent you here, and what is your purpose here?"
I was numbed by his eyes, and the trembling feeling surged from the bottom of my heart, and cold sweat broke out in patches.
The key point is that I feel really guilty, because I did lie and concealed the matter about the compass, but the origins of the compass and the middle-aged man are too weird, and I really don't want to tell anyone else about it.
So I can only continue to lie and tell Mr. Yin that I have walked around Daochang Meng's house, and I have only seen this barren mountain. What's wrong with me coming here for a walk?
"Oh? You mean, you've seen the scenery next to his house?"
Mr. Yin's expression became more gloomy: "But except for the mountain stream, the area near Meng Laizi's house is all wilderness and woods. If you have really seen it, you should refute me instead of talking about it."
This is an excuse for me, do you think I am right?"
Good guy, I was completely dumbfounded.
It turns out that Mr. Yin was deceiving me. He was obviously a seductress. When he exposed it in front of me, my whole face turned red. I was trying to find an excuse to round it off, but his next sentence
It made me completely despair.
He pointed at my trouser pocket and said, "Take that thing out of your pocket. I want to see what is pointing at me."
After hearing what he said, I really accepted my fate.
I feel that in front of people like them, all concealment and scheming are in vain. I thought my acting skills were not bad, but I didn't know that I had been manipulated by others a long time ago.
So I put my hand into my trouser pocket and took out the compass, but at first I was a little confused, what did he mean when he said something was pointing at him?
But when I took out the compass and saw the pointer clearly, I was stunned.
Because the red needle was pointed directly at Mr. Yin, I unbelievingly moved it to my right hand, and then the pointer moved to the left. When I moved it to my left hand, it began to move to the right.
That picture made my eyes widen. Is this compass his? What's going on? Do you want me to take Mr. Yin back and hand it over to the middle-aged man?
I really didn’t know how to do it anymore, so I put the things on the table casually, but the moment I saw the compass clearly, Mr. Yin’s eyes widened.
"Spirit-detecting needle?"
He exclaimed in a low voice, then took the compass into his hand, looked at it for a long time, then raised his head and stared at me and asked: "Who gave this to you, tell me."
This time his expression was very calm and his tone was calm, but I don't know why, but the voice seemed to have magic power. The moment it reached my ears, I felt dizzy in my mind.
At that time, my mind went blank, and I couldn't help but spit out a sentence: "A middle-aged man I met at the hospital at the foot of the mountain gave it to me. He asked me to take this thing up the mountain and find a stone and bring it back to him, and he would be able to help me."
