knock!
knock!
knock!
The sound of Jin An knocking on the door softly with his knuckles seemed particularly empty in this deserted and quiet street.
This scene is similar to knocking on the door several times when staying in a hotel to notify the people inside that I am coming in. People and ghosts have different paths, and yin and yang avoid each other.
Of course, there are no "living people" here, only two "thousand-year dead people" dripping with tens of millions of corpse oils, so Jin An is basically informing the dead people inside——
I, the "Millennium Corpse King", am about to come in. If there are other dead people inside, be careful to avoid them.
No one in the Fu Shou store responded, and there was dead silence.
In fact, the scariest thing is when someone responds.
Just when Jin An was about to open the door and enter the Fushou Store, suddenly, the sound of a woman singing came from the capital city covered by dark clouds. The sound sounded like sadness, resentment, sorrow, and weeping, with sadness and desolation, as if there was a big sky.
People want to cry out their grievances but no one listens. People can't help but look up and wonder where this woman comes from.
Jin An was surprised to find that the sound of the woman sobbing and singing came from deep within the humble palace.
"Just a sob can have such a big impact. Is there a terrifying demon living in this palace?"
"Since ancient times, the harem has been a place of bloody struggle. I don't know what kind of encounter caused the unjust death to be so resentful."
There are three thousand beauties in the harem. They sleep one after another, turn over cards one after another, and get pregnant one after another. Every day is a bloody struggle. They step on the corpses of other concubines to get to the top. Jin An has some understanding of these.
Only a little understanding.
At this time, Jin An also noticed another detail, that is, the streets became quiet, and many ghost buildings, including Hongxing Tower, suddenly became silent.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The doors and windows of those pavilions were hurriedly closed, the lights and fires were extinguished, and the streets fell into silence and darkness in just a few moments.
"Is the threat of crying in the palace so great?" Jin An frowned and found that gray mist was drifting on the street unconsciously.
Looking around, I found that the gray mist was floating from the bottom of the crack in the ground at my feet.
"So cold!"
"So evil!"
Jin An looked surprised at first, and then thought about it. It seemed that the threats to the underworld capital did not all come from the palace, but from other greater threats.
Jin An stopped lingering on the street and slapped the crack of the door of Fushou Store with his palm. The door latch behind the door fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Squeak——
call!
As the door of the Fu Shou shop was pushed open by him, a gust of cold wind blew out from behind the door. The front hall of the Fu Shou shop was very empty. They were selling incense, candles, paper money and other things to worship the dead. The most eye-catching ones were the hangings all over the room.
White silk, white lanterns with the word "Dian", white candles, it seems that the gloomy atmosphere in Fushou shop comes from these white silks, white lanterns, white candles...
"Um?"
"Did someone just die in this Fu Shou shop?"
Seeing no danger for the time being, Jin An jumped into the store with the female peacock.
Bang!
It only took two or three breaths from opening the door to closing the door, and Jin An didn't forget to re-bolt the door.
At this time, he took a closer look at the incense and candle shop called "Shun'an Fushou Shop". There was a wooden statue in the front hall of Fushou Shop, which was the statue of Tu Bo.
Speaking of which, Jin'an and the Tubo statue are old acquaintances. Several adventures in Jiangzhou Prefecture are related to Tubo, such as the time when the ancient warlock went to the underworld in the cave, and the time when he returned to the gods in the ruins.
Another example is that every time he goes to the underworld, he will sense the shadow of Tu Bo in the void...
Jin An even had the illusion that Tu Bo was his birth year this year? Because he saw Tu Bo a lot this year!
It was precisely because of this idea that when Jin An saw that the statue of Tubo was enshrined in this Fushou shop, he felt at peace and at ease.
Jin An saw that the female peacock kept looking up at the sky in discomfort. He also looked up at the ceiling and saw the sky above his head covered with paper tied with gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Whether you are a believer or a Buddhist, you can
Find the deities you need here.
"The owner of this Fushou shop is really a god and a man of all kinds."
When he walked to the back hall of Fu Shou Store, he found that half of the courtyard in the backyard of Fu Shou Store was gone. It was replaced by stacked buildings. The ruins of the two buildings merged with half of the yard. He looked up and could see two adjacent pieces of land.
The area of ​​the building ruins on the right is slightly larger, and it has occupied part of the roof of Fushou Store.
I don’t know whether it was born with a big hole, or someone smashed a big hole in the ruins of the building on the right. More than a dozen black-painted coffins rolled down from it, almost filling half of the yard.
These coffins were in pieces, and Jin An noticed that the black coffins without coffin covers were empty and there were no dead people.
Jin An estimated in his heart that even if there were dead people, they would have left long ago...
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the ruins of the building above his head. With so many coffins rolling down, could it be that the location of this Fushou store was once a Kaiyizhuang or a coffin shop?
He saw that the gray fog outside was getting thicker and thicker, and had a tendency to expand, so he simply left in no hurry to avoid being trapped by the thick fog, and began to clear out the coffins in the courtyard one by one to check for potential dangers.
Just when Jin An was halfway through the inspection, there was a sudden abnormal noise from the street outside. Jin An frowned, put down the coffin in his hand, and carefully lurked in the front hall to look out through the crack in the door.
At this time, the gray fog outside was very thick and gray, and nothing could be seen, but the sound of buildings collapsing and many screams could be clearly heard coming from the streets.
It is not clear whether these screams come from the out-of-body spirit or the aborigines of the underworld capital, because the streets have long been shrouded in fog and cannot be seen.
At this time, the situation outside was unclear, and Jin An did not use his spiritual consciousness to explore the situation outside to avoid unnecessary complications.
Sudden!
Without warning!
A man suddenly leaned against the door. His bloodshot eyes were wide open. He peered through the crack in the door. The man's eyes happened to meet those of Jin An behind the door. The two of them blinked at the same time subconsciously.
, then, the man outside the door began to bang on the door loudly, as if asking Jin An to open the door and let him in.
Seeing that Jin An never opened the door, the man outside knocked on the door instead of banging on it. He banged on the door with force, causing a lot of dust to fall off the door frame.
Looking at the situation, I'm afraid the door bolt won't last long.
The door of Fushou Store suddenly opened and then slammed shut instantly. The man who hit the door was dragged into the store by an arm behind the door, and then the door returned to calm.
In the backyard of Fushou Store, Jin An threw the body of the man who knocked on the door into the backyard.
When their eyes met just now, he had noticed that the mental state of the man outside was very wrong, like a mentally disturbed madman. He would not be overflowing with sympathy at this time and talk calmly to a madman living in the underworld.
Looking at this skillful killing and dumping of corpses, I wonder who is the person in the underworld...
The storm outside lasted for a while. As time went by, the noise and screams gradually came closer to the Fushou Store. Jin An, who was hiding in the Fushou Store, could even clearly hear that his neighbors were being smashed one after another. The crisis was approaching.
Fushou store is getting closer step by step.
However, the vandalism on the street skipped the Fushou store and did not affect the Fushou store. As the vandalism gradually faded away, Jin An walked to the door and planned to take a look at the situation outside.
Just when he walked to the door and was about to remove the bolt, his hand stopped in the air.
He stood there and thought for a while, then asked the female peacock: "Do you think the tentacles of the Inanimate Holy Land have reached the capital city of the underworld? If I open the door and go out now, will I meet the people of the Inanimate Holy Land face to face?
"
The female peacock, who was still brooding over the thousand-year corpse oil incident, had cold eyes and said nothing, and kept lowering her head to comb her feathers.
Jin An retracted his hands to take the door bolt, and said with an unusually calm look: "It all shows that it is easy to dodge a gun and difficult to defend against an arrow. Instead of going out now and being in the dark, it would be better to hide in the Fushou store and turn the disadvantage into
To gain an advantage, we become a secret enemy, waiting for the people in the Inanimate Holy Land to fall into the trap."
This is to plan to wait and see.
"I don't know how many people the Holy Land of Wusheng will send to assassinate me this time. They can't find a chance in the underworld, so I will take the initiative to create opportunities for them in the underworld." Anyway, time in the underworld is slower than that in the upper world, so he can afford to spend time.
long time……
one day……
Time passes like this day by day, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and the Fu Shou store and the street where the Fu Shou store is located have returned to their former peace.
There was a lot of damage to the streets that day. There were collapsed doors everywhere, exploded window frames, bricks and tiles scattered all over the ground, and everything was devastated.
To be continued...
