Twilight Ghost

Chapter 18

Bai Ze was quite trustworthy, and he took Hua Chongming to the forbidden area on Wanfo Mountain the next day.Originally, Abbot Jing Kong was worried that they would get lost in the forest full of strange trees and grass, but Bai Ze was very familiar with this place, and he didn't look like an outsider at all.

But for some reason, Hua Chongming always felt a little strange all the way, and he couldn't tell where it was, but this feeling kept haunting him, making him unable to concentrate on his journey.

"Look at this tree, it has grown for at least 300 years, and the bark is twisted like this..."

When Bai Ze said this, Hua Chongming suddenly realized what was wrong, "Have you noticed that there are no ghosts or monsters here, not even a single one?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out when Bai Ze grabbed Hua Chongming's hand.The wound on his heart has more or less healed. Although the monster power has not reached the original level, there is no problem with such tricks as turning water into ice.Before Hua Chongming opened his mouth, he reached for the water bag at his waist more than once, but after such a long time, the water in the bag was still the same, and there was no ice.

"The mist here can swallow my mana." Bai Ze's eyelids gradually became heavy, his limbs became limp, and he leaned limply on Hua Chongming's body, "I want to sleep..."

"Ah? Don't... Bai Ze, Bai Ze, wake up?"

Hua Chongming helped him under a tree, poured some water from his bag and patted his face: "Don't sleep at this hour! I don't know the way, how can I carry you back?" His eyelids gradually closed, Hua Chongming hurried over and opened them, and shouted into his ear: "Didn't you come here with my father, why did he bring you in? Bai Ze, don't sleep!"

"Blood……"

"Shoes?" Hua Chongming generously took off his shoes and put them in front of his nose, "You said it earlier, I didn't wash my feet yesterday..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Ze pushed him to the ground, and ruthlessly wedged his fangs into his shoulder blades.The blood stained Bai Ze's light gray eyes, blue blood vessels arose from his slender limbs, and the fiery red horns pierced the skin on his forehead. It didn't take a moment for the unicorn's hoarse roar to echo in the deep mountains and old forests. among.

Before Hua Chongming could react, Qilin violently lifted him from the ground and threw him onto his back, and galloped forward crazily.

After running for an unknown amount of time, a bright red rocky beach appeared within sight, and Bai Ze was so heartless that he braked suddenly and threw Hua Chongming out.

"Bai, do you have any humanity?" Hua Chongming, who was almost thrown to pieces, got up staggeringly, and looked back at Bai Ze, who was lying naked on the rocky beach and panting heavily. It's exhausting.

You were the one who bit first, but you threw it indiscriminately, and now you pretend to be more pitiful than the victim. Is there any law?

Hua Chongming cursed in his heart, took off his coat and put it on him, and asked angrily: "How is it, you are not dead yet?"

Bai Ze didn't have the heart to chat with him, but just lowered his head to pick up the broken stones on the beach: "If you still want to go in and fulfill your father's last wish, then don't be silly, didn't you see what I'm doing?"

It's cheap and good-looking, how come the quality of goblins is so low these days!Hua Chongming was suffering from a toothache, and didn't know what kind of trick he was going to play, so he had to follow what he said.

After finally picking up 800 yuan of strangely-shaped broken stones, Bai Ze was so cruel that he cut his palm with a knife and dripped a drop of blood on each stone.

"Do you need me to help you?"

Bai Ze glanced at him, "Come on, your blood and yang energy is too strong. It's like Lord Underworld only accepting gold before opening the door. What I give is silver, what you give is shit."

"you……"

"Did you see the jade plate in the waterfall? Before it's dark, quickly lift up the stone that's been stained with my blood. If it's dark and the ghosts are rampant, even if you go in, it's hard to get out alive."

This means that those who have no skills can only do physical work, Hua Chongming punched the back of his head a few times, but he still went to move the pile of stones honestly.

At first, he thought that Bai Ze was going to carry these stones back for collection, but Hua Chongming deliberately threw away some of the broken stones he picked up and replaced them with bigger ones. Panting, he finally finished his work.

"I said Bai Ze, don't you want to use these tricks to trick Lord Ming into opening the door? This kind of fraudulent behavior is illegal in the human world, and you should be taken back to the Yamen by me."

"Well, go and strangle [-] strong men, that's another crime of homicide. Mr. Hurry up, your words are more than fart." Bai Ze rolled his eyes after finishing speaking, "Wait, Don't come back, you sprinkle blood on the stone, the yin and yang are connected, it is the only way for the living to open the ghost road."

Hua Chongming glared at him viciously, wiped two fistfuls of blood from his shoulders and wiped it on the jade plate, only to hear a loud bang, the blood-colored water split into two halves, and a black hole was slowly revealed in the center of the water.

Hua Chongming didn't dare to show his spirit all the way, for fear that Lord Ming would see through Bai Ze's trick and lead the hole to another unknown place. After seeing the sea of ​​flowers on the other side in Hua Rong's notes, he was slightly relieved. Take a breath.

"It's okay to be so perfunctory? Master Mingzhu is too unprofessional."

"It's not that he's unprofessional, it's that my blood is too yin, and his mechanism can't be distinguished." As he spoke, Bai Ze pulled Hua Chongming up and walked in, "Your father promised Abbot Jing Kong not to kill any more, so you have to go to the snowfield to find him." Me, let me bring him in. It's a pity that after he read the Green Bamboo Letter, he failed to return to the human world."

Before the two of them reached the bank of the Wangchuan River, the old ferryman got up and waved, "Young man, I'll ferry you!"

Bai Ze put his index finger in front of his lips, made a "shh" gesture, and said in a low voice, "When you get on the boat, hug me tightly and don't talk. I'll tell you why after I get off the boat."

Ghosts were howling on the Wangchuan River, and the skinny old man was still chattering: "Don't look, don't listen, the Wangchuan River can't see through. Don't cry, don't cry, but the bridgehead says nothing..."

On the Naihe Bridge, Hua Chongming raised his head and looked at the faces on the bridge that were filled with love, hatred and ignorance. After a bowl of Meng Po soup, there was nothing left like blank paper.

When the two of them got off the boat, Bai Ze said in a low voice: "18 years ago, your father and I just came here, and we were going down in a boat. The ferryman told him not to look down the river, but he just didn't." listen."

"What's under the river?"

Bai Ze shook his head, "I don't know either. It's probably some idiots who don't want to be reincarnated. Their hatred melts into the river and turns into various phantoms. Your father was fascinated by those shadows, and he stood still after getting off the boat. If I don’t walk by the river, I will pull him, but he is as heavy as the soles of his feet. After dark, evil spirits are rampant. Although it is not a problem to kill them with my mana, they are too numerous. Too many, I am simply outnumbered, and in the end I still failed to keep your father."

To Bai Ze's surprise, Hua Chongming never showed much sadness on his face, because no one had seen Hua Rong's body, so the young Hua Chongming always believed that his father was not dead, but now his illusions were shattered, the answer It's confirmed, for him, it's just the end of the dust and the end of his wish.

"Bai Ze, let me ask you, since you know the ins and outs of these things, why didn't you tell my father and let him take risks in the ghost world?"

Bai Ze lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly, "Many things are not as you imagined. After 900 years, it is difficult for anyone to remember this past clearly, and I... I have forgotten my name, and all the efforts I am doing now are just to find the past that I have left behind in the memory of time, the emptiness and despair without belonging, you can't understand."

No wonder everyone knows his name, but no one can control him. The monster who has lived for 900 years has even forgotten his real name. The eternal life gives him only eternal despair and loneliness.

"Here is the candle of life for mortals, don't you want to look for yours?"

Looking at the flickering candles in front of him, Hua Chongming shook his head, suddenly took Bai Ze's hand, and said in a serious tone, "Can you promise me one thing, even if I die tomorrow, you will stay by my side today ?”

A warm smile like spring water bloomed on Bai Ze's face, "Okay, I will always be with you, in the next life, and in the next life, I will go to you again."

It's just, Emperor Kuguo I of the ninth generation, when you cultivate a real soul, you will become a god of Jiuxiao, which is beyond the reach of a lowly demon like me.

Forever is just a false promise, but you believe it, and I believe it, but I can't predict whether the ruthless sky will wantonly mock my innocence after all the dust settles, even if thousands of years have passed, in front of you , I was just as naive.
