Chapter 1289 Crossroads
There is no turning back when carrying the coffin, they only have one chance to choose.
“Only one of these three roads is real, and the other two are deceptions. The ghost stands with two feet on the ground, uses the yin energy on his body to affect the terrain, and modifies our senses.”
According to Yuan Shanyuan, the current scene is similar to the ghost wall-breaking encounter last time. The two extra paths were also created by the female ghosts last time.
If you go down the wrong path, you will fall into the trap of the female ghost.
"People have their own paths, and ghosts have their own paths. We can't see the risks on the three roads, but the ghosts must." Seeing this scene, Luo Tianhe calmed down, took a deep breath and said, "We can ask the ghosts."< br>
Li Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Mr. Luo, are you referring to these lonely ghosts behind you?"
"When "Of course, why else would you lead them here?"
Luo Tianhe reached into his clothes and took out the cloth bag wrapped with fire folds and incense, "Mr. Yuan, I will ask you to take action with me later. I can't trust these young people."
"Yes." Yuan Shanyuan also understood the current situation and agreed simply.
Later, Luo Tianhe turned his head and his eyes lingered on Lin Qianqian and Li Bai. Lin Qianqian, who was already feeling guilty, avoided Luo Tianhe's gaze. Luo Tianhe paused and looked away, "Miss Li Bai, I will trouble you on the last road. ”
Li Bai agreed.
Later, the three of them handed over their positions and were replaced by Jiang Cheng, Yao, Shunyu, and Lin Qianqian respectively. The three people from Luo Tianhe who had freed their bodies no longer delayed, and each took out Luo Tianhe's cloth bag. Three incense sticks, and then a chopstick was handed over. The nine incense heads were gathered together and ignited with a fire stick, and then each took a coarse porcelain bowl from the coffin.
The three of them walked towards three roads respectively, turned around and squatted down at the intersection they chose.
Look away from the road and face in the direction of the coffin.
Luo Tianhe chose the path on the left, with Yuan Shanyuan in the middle and Li Bai on the right.
The three of them placed the bowls filled with uncooked rice on the ground at the same time, and respectfully inserted three incense sticks. The moment the incense was inserted into the uncooked rice, the incense head suddenly lit up and burned rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the three of them lowered their heads, held chopsticks with their right hands, and tapped the rim of the bowl.
The crisp knocking sound echoed in the night, which was indescribably weird.
The four people who were still standing next to the coffin suddenly felt a gloomy wind coming from behind them, as if something extremely cold was approaching them quickly. People like Lin Qianqian, Yao Shunyu and others who lacked Yang fire felt even colder. Shivering.
The next second, the fat man held his breath, his eyes full of fear. He saw people appearing in front of him. Many people, men, women, old people and children. These people had disheveled hair and ragged clothes. Some of them didn't even wear shoes and were walking stiffly. He was walking towards Li Bai's path. Of course, all he saw was his back.
Then, the group of people gathered around Li Bai, squatted down, lowered their heads, stretched out their hands tremblingly, grabbed handfuls of rice in the bowl, stuffed it into their mouths, and chewed it in an old-fashioned way.
There was no sound during the whole process, like watching a scary silent movie.
The scene Li Bai saw at this moment was even weirder. From her perspective, the surrounding area was empty and there was no one at all. However, the rice in the bowl was getting less and less, as if it had been covered by something. Things were dug up.
But even so, Li Bai's hand was still very steady, tapping the edge of the bowl again and again, and his rhythm was not disrupted.
"Li Bai's road is the real one. You see, those lonely ghosts would rather fight for a bowl of rice than go to the two roads of Luotian River and Yuan Shanyuan to beg for food, because they are afraid of the ghosts blocking the way on those two roads. "
As soon as Yao Shunyu finished speaking, Luo Tianhe stood up suddenly, followed by Yuan Shanyuan. Both of them looked ugly, lowering their heads and staring at the three incense sticks in the bowl in front of them.
The incense in the two bowls was surprisingly consistent. The incense on the left and right burned very quickly, while the one in the middle burned much slower, forming a short, long, and short scene.
People avoid three long and two short, and fragrance avoids two short and one long.
As Luo Tianhe and Yuan Shanyuan threw away the chopsticks and ran back, Li Bai no longer persisted. She broke the chopsticks with both hands, then circled around and returned quickly.
Seeing that Li Bai came back safe and sound, Jiangcheng fat man Yao, Shun, and Yu could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Li Bai had proved her worth with her true talents and knowledge.
"The road on the right is true. Go quickly, otherwise things will change later."
Now that things have become clear, everyone no longer hesitates. After returning to their original positions, everyone carries the coffin and quickly goes to He ran along the road on the right. When he passed Li Bai's bowl, Jiang Cheng took a careful look. He saw that there was only a thin layer of rice left in it, and he couldn't even hold the incense in it.
But the incense burned fine, and the remaining lengths of the three incense sticks were almost the same.
But not long after everyone carried the coffin and left, the coarse porcelain bowl suddenly started shaking for no reason, and then a crack extended upward from the bottom of the bowl. The bowl then cracked, and the rice inside was scattered.
The three incense sticks fell straight down and fell to the ground side by side. The two incense sticks were cut off from the middle, leaving only a short section. Only the long incense stick in the middle was still intact.
The next second, the three incense sticks were extinguished.
......
"What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the fat man in front of him, and he kept shrinking his neck several times.
"No...it's okay. I just feel uncomfortable in my neck. It seems like there is a gust of cold air coming over me."
The fat man didn't know why. Just now, a gust of cold air suddenly rushed over from behind him. He couldn't help but feel cold. He shrank his neck, but when he felt something was wrong, the cold air disappeared out of thin air.
The fat man was not the only one who felt something was wrong. Luo Tianhe also felt something was wrong. He slowly slowed down and scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes. "It's strange. There isn't much rice left in the bowl. Those lonely The fate ghosts should have finished eating long ago, but why haven’t they followed?”
After all, there is still a bowl of rice on the coffin.
"Indeed, it was empty behind us, and I didn't hear any footsteps."
Pursing her lips, Li Bai's voice also contained doubts and a hint of indescribable uneasiness, and she didn't know why.
“There’s something wrong with this road.” Jiang Cheng suddenly said, “After passing the upper slope, you should not be far away before you can see a big rock. On the right side, there is also a tree that was struck by lightning. , The tree body was partially burnt, so it was very conspicuous, but we walked for so long and didn’t see it.”
“But the fragrance just now was clearly fine.” Lin Qianqian suddenly panicked.
"The issue we are talking about has nothing to do with incense. I just said there is a problem with this road."
Under the current circumstances, Jiang Cheng has no time to waste words with Lin Qianqian. What he hopes to get is Helpful advice, or a solution to a difficult situation, comes from helpful people.
"Back...back!"
Lin Qianqian turned her head, her expression instantly frozen on her face. She saw that about 20 meters behind them, a crossroads appeared out of thin air, extending outwards to the left and right front three roads.
The coarse porcelain bowl placed in front of the intersection is very eye-catching. (End of this chapter)
