Different from the quiet bamboo forest path that he just entered the "Dream Corridor", after Yang Shuang entered the intersection with the wooden sign saying "Death", what he saw when he came back to his senses was a desolate forest.
Bursts of dark wind kept blowing up the dead leaves on the ground, and the yellow paper money floated from nowhere, like unconscious floating insects, drifting across Yang Shuang's body intentionally or unintentionally, sparsely and unevenly distributed. The dead trees looked like monsters with teeth and claws, as if Yang Shuang would pounce on him if he wasn't paying attention.
While Yang Shuang was still looking around, a faint firelight and a rickety figure caught Yang Shuang's attention.
Li Xiaoqi has not been found yet, and the rickety figure that suddenly appeared in the "Dream Corridor" must not be a kind person. Although this rickety figure that looks harmless to humans and animals shows that he has not yet discovered himself, But its ghostly aura drifting towards Yang Shuang completely betrayed its intentions.
Since it was obviously coming for him, he should go and meet it. With this thought in mind, Yang Shuang walked over.
When he walked to the fire, Yang Shuang saw an old lady with gray hair and a thin and sunken face. She was holding a wooden stick and pulling at the fire while she kept mumbling something.
Yang Shuang, who leaned over and sat opposite her, listened carefully and found out what the old lady said.
"How much paper do you need to burn to fill this bottomless heart?"
After hearing what the old lady said, Yang Shuang took out a cigarette and tried to light it with the fire in front of him, but found that he couldn't light it.
"Young man, this is the bardo fire. It cannot ignite you, a creature of the earth."
"It's better to leave quickly."
After saying that, the old lady raised her finger and pointed in one direction.
After taking out the lighter and lighting it, Yang Shuang slowly blew out the smoke towards the old lady and said with a smile.
"Old man, your heart is your own. If you are not satisfied with the current situation, no matter how much paper you burn, it will only cause smoke after killing people."
"What you're doing now, to me, is nothing but immorality and smoking."
"And the road you showed me is called the Tiger's Mouth, you old scoundrel!"
After saying that, Yang Shuang casually flicked the cigarette butt back in his hand, and then a deafening tiger roar sounded behind him.
Soon an overly large gray-white tiger appeared behind him.
"In that case, you will become my tiger..."
Before the old lady could finish speaking, a "thunder" sounded in front of her.
"Reciprocity is the way to treat guests. Now that you have released the tiger, I, who is known as the Golden Cross Armored Tiger, can't hide it anymore."
As a cross of golden light flashed across Yang Shuang's forehead, a translucent golden tiger directly knocked away the giant gray tiger behind him.
Just when Yang Shuang's figure was standing like a divine soldier descending from the sky, Li Xiaoqi's voice sounded at an inappropriate time.
"Ah...you cheating old lady, I just asked you if you had any baked sweet potatoes."
"Grandma, are you going to let the tiger bite me?"
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a black tiger. Li Xiaoqi, who had been turned on the "Jiama Shenxing", walked forward at a very fast pace, and Li Xiaoqi, who saw Yang Shuang, was a living treasure. shouted with a smile.
"Shuangzi, instead of ordering roasted sweet potatoes, try ordering roasted potatoes~"
In response, Yang Shuang, who was covering his face with one hand, said to the old lady.
"I understand your pain, and I will help you get rid of it now."
After Yang Shuang snapped his fingers, his golden tiger bit open the gray-white tiger's throat. Amidst the flying blood, the old lady showed a moment of shock and then spoke pitifully.
"Young man, don't get too proud too soon, and I am not a ghost, I am a woman."
After saying that, Po Po turned into a dead tree at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black tiger chasing Li Xiaoqi also disappeared together.
"Tiger's roosting in the mountains and forests, dragons crouching in dreams, leaving only corpses and no return."
Yang Shuang, who used the small compass in his hand to do divination, looked around the desolate woods and muttered to himself.
Listening to Yang Shuang talking to himself, Li Xiaoqi nodded and spoke seriously.
"Please talk normally."
Putting away the compass and rolling his eyes at Li Xiaoqi, Yang Shuang explained for him.
"What I mean is that tigers often live in mountains and forests, so tigers are often considered to be the master of the forest and the mountain god."
"And just like Xuanwu and Suzaku are often associated together, so are dragons and tigers."
"In a mountain forest where tiger is the main god, there must be a sleeping dragon as the eye of the mountain forest barrier."
"Be careful. Seeing how the nun can control the tiger demon at will, it is very likely that every tree and stone here is under her control."
"Another thing to note is that once you see something like a dragon..."
Before Yang Shuang could finish speaking, all the trees in the forest simultaneously made a "crackling" sound that would only be made when the trees were burning. Then, the burning yellow paper money was like a tornado, blowing Li Xiaoqi away. The two of them were surrounded.
Li Xiaoqi and Li Xiaoqi, who were in the tornado of yellow paper money, felt that the air around them was getting thinner and thinner. While their consciousness gradually became blurred due to lack of oxygen, the poor woman's shrill laughter also became thinner. It's becoming more and more obvious.
"Shuangzi, let me try to break through this strange wind first. You can think of a way to deal with it here."
After speaking, Li Xiaoqi first hit out a few "dust-level ghost exorcism talismans". After seeing that it had no effect on the strange wind, Li Xiaoqi summoned the "demon-breaking blade" and bit it first. His index finger then smeared the blood on the dark blade of the "Demon Breaking Blade". After igniting the "Red Lotus Fire", Li Xiaoqi slashed directly at the strange wind.
Although the strange wind surrounding the two of them did not disappear, Li Xiaoqi still used the "Demon Breaking Blade" to cut a gap.
"Xiao Qi, please hold on a little longer and I'll break this strange wind."
After saying that, after a "thunder" sound, Yang Shuang disappeared beside Li Xiaoqi. Soon after, Yang Shuang's figure appeared next to the dead trees, and "thunder" also struck the dead trees. , and soon as the dryness became less and less, the strange wind surrounding Li Xiaoqi also gradually disappeared.
Li Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously took a step back. Then he felt that his foot seemed to have stepped on something. Li Xiaoqi turned around and looked down, only to see two things like dead wood branches appearing on the ground. And in the middle of them is something that looks like a skull.
Feeling strange, Li Xiaoqi subconsciously kicked the soil around the skull twice. After Li Xiaoqi loosened the soil around the skull, half of a dragon's skull appeared in front of Li Xiaoqi's eyes. In the eye sockets of this skull, there were two red eyes like night pearls staring at him.
Another "thunder" sound sounded, and Yang Shuang returned to Li Xiaoqi. Li Xiaoqi looked at Yang Shuang, pointed at the skull of the dragon on the ground and said without tears.
"Shuangzi, I didn't mean it."
As soon as Li Xiaoqi finished speaking, a dragon roar resounded through the entire forest.
