The grandfather's tone was very low. Although he did not continue speaking, I also guessed that if we couldn't break out of this thick fog, I'm afraid both of us would die.
Although I was very scared, I gritted my teeth and walked on the stone bridge out of the village with my grandfather.
The terrain of Zhoujiagou is too remote. There is a small ditch on the way out of the village, which is more than five meters wide. In order to cross this ditch as quickly as possible, the villagers built this stone bridge.
I often walk this road, so I am very familiar with it. After getting on the bridge, I strode forward, thinking that I would reach the other side of the bridge soon.
But the strange thing is that the bridge seems to have been stretched today. When I stepped on the bridge, the surroundings were immediately shrouded in heavy fog. Clear the end of the bridge.
I was extremely scared, but fortunately my grandfather was still with me, put his hand on my shoulder, and pushed me to move forward.
The wind on the bridge was very strong, and there were gusts of wind, because paper money blew from nowhere and floated everywhere on the bridge, almost paving a path.
Although I didn’t understand anything, I could tell that this road was paved with paper and it would definitely be dangerous to continue walking on it.
My calves were getting softer and softer, and the soul-inducing lamp on my chest was affected by the cold wind and became flickering.
The alternating light and dark flames almost turned my face yellow, the atmosphere became more and more weird, and the ghosts' cries were faintly floating in the dark wind, which became more and more scary.
I don't know how to describe my mood. I can only close my eyes tightly and walk down.
At this time, an old coughing sound came to his ears, and the Grand Duke asked hoarsely, "Zhou Xuan, are you afraid?"
I closed my eyes, shook my head vigorously, and forced myself to say that I was not afraid.
The Taigong continued, "Haha, it's okay if you're not afraid. It's just a pity that your mother will be tortured if her body falls into the hands of those people. Alas... How about we take your mother's body with us?"
I trembled, and quickly turned back to look at the grandpa, "Okay, let's go find my mother now!"
"What are you doing back here!"
In the thick fog, Taigong's face was particularly ugly, and he shouted to me in surprise, "What were you talking to yourself just now? Didn't I tell you never to look back, let alone speak?"
Instead, I was stunned and said in surprise, "Grandpa, didn't you just tell me that you wanted to go back with me and take my mother's body with you?"
"When did I say...wait, someone just talked to you?!"
Grandpa hurriedly denied it, but in the middle of his words, he suddenly remembered something, his face changed drastically, and he looked up at the thick fog floating near the stone bridge.
I don’t know when the thick fog got worse. The whistling wind sounded like hundreds of innocent souls howling angrily. The air became colder and the thick fog became endless, as if something was approaching us.
"Damn it, Zhou Xuan, run!"
Grandpa's face was livid, he stomped his feet in anger, and gave me a fierce push on the shoulder, "Run forward, as long as the soul-inducing lamp stays on, there is hope, so hurry up!"
"Grandpa, why are you..."
I was still confused, and I didn’t understand why Grandpa’s face turned ugly. But I didn’t say anything, and a more terrifying scene appeared.
Bubbles appeared in the river under the bridge. These bubbles were as big as a face plate and exploded on the water surface one after another.
Deep in every exploded bubble, a dark gray airflow emerged from the water, and pairs of pale white hands stretched out from beneath the airflow, stretching straight toward the sky!
"Zhou Xuan, leave quickly."
Just when I was so frightened that I lost my mind, Grandpa had already pulled out his copper coin sword, slapped me hard on the back, then put his hand into the bag he carried with him, spilled a lot of yellow paper, and muttered something,
"The Supreme Master taught me how to kill ghosts, and how to make magic formulas with me. I call on the jade girl to capture the bad luck... Be as urgent as the law!"
He recited a long list of spells, and the yellow talismans were sprinkled in the air, and one by one they were ignited. The talismans flew under the bridge with flames, and the half-stretched arms were burned by the yellow talismans and smoked, and soon Retracted to the surface of the water again.
ah--
A large number of shrill screams came from the water, and the cold wind drifted even more fiercely. The grandfather held the copper coin sword and kept swinging it. Seeing that I was still frozen in place, he immediately opened his eyes wide and placed his finger on my lower abdomen. Kicked
"Remember, if you leave Zhoujiagou, you will never come back for the rest of your life!"
Grandpa's kick was so hard that I staggered, and my body rolled to the other side of the bridge involuntarily. When I struggled to get up, Grandpa's body had been swallowed up by a large amount of white mist, even the stone bridge. It was also completely obscured by the thick fog, and nothing could be seen or heard.
"Grandpa, where are you?"
I shouted in a hurry, almost breaking my throat, but there was only a piece of cold wind swimming on the stone bridge, and there was nothing else.
I gritted my teeth and refused to leave my grandpa and run alone. I also planned to climb the stone bridge again to look for my grandpa, but at this time I heard the sound of "tap tap tap tap" footsteps coming from the thick fog, as if there was something. Chased me from the bridge.
Is it the Grand Duke?
I opened my eyes and couldn't wait to call out Grandpa's name, but before I could say it out, the words were completely stuck in my throat, and my whole body was frozen in place, motionless.
A pair of dead man's longevity shoes appeared in the thick fog.
The figure is facing outward, approaching me from left to right.
The longevity shoes stepped on the steps of the stone bridge, making a "tap, tap, tap" sound. The movements were getting faster and faster, but I couldn't see the feet wearing the shoes at all, as if they were being worn by a transparent person.
"Mom!"
My hair stood on end and I was so frightened that I lost my mind. I turned around and ran away desperately, shouting loudly at you to stay away.
Soon I ran under the bridge and came to a forest on the other side of the river. This area already belonged to the boundary of the village. Taigong said that I would be safe as long as I ran out of this forest.
But the woods were still shrouded in white mist, and it was foggy wherever I ran.
The "tapping" footsteps are still following me like tarsal maggots. No matter where I run, I can't get rid of him.
I was so confused that I blurted out, "Who are you and why are you following me?"
A whistling cold wind kept coming from the thick fog, mixed with a faint and sinister roar, "You can't leave, the old beast can't protect you anymore, come back with me, let's go back together!"
It was the third uncle's voice.
My spine exploded, and cold sweat instantly ran down my neck.
When the fear rose to the extreme, my brain quickly calmed down. When I lowered my head, I saw that there was still a copper coin hanging on my chest. It was the one my grandfather had given me before. I didn't even think about it too much and pulled the copper coin hard. Come down and throw the pair of longevity shoes in the direction they came from.
"Get out of here, don't follow me."
ah--
A shrill scream immediately came from the place where the copper coin was hit. After the thick smoke passed, a rotting dead face appeared in front of him.
It's Uncle San!
His whole face was almost bruised, and his whole body was bloated, like a bloated steamed bun. His hair was still wet and dripping with water, and he still looked like he was drowned.
The copper coin injured Third Uncle. The place where he was hit by the copper coin had collapsed, and his face was incomplete. However, his white eyeballs were still filled with strong resentment, and he walked towards me step by step.
"If you dare to plot against me, I will kill you!"
