Chapter 145: Fengdu City in the Mountains?
The delicate but rough incense ash was smeared under his eyes. Zhang Hao stood quietly, feeling the gentle slide of the mudslide under his feet, the crisp sound of rain falling on the ground, and all the sounds around him, as well as change.
He took a deep breath and opened his eyes again.
Looking at the forest path in front of him, he took a deep breath and walked forward slowly, looking around for any traces that might be suspected of being left by Shan Bao.
He walked very slowly and looked very carefully. Every time he lifted a foot, he would hesitate for a moment before putting it down, for fear of missing something that might be the trace left by Shan Bao.
Unknowingly, Zhang Hao didn't know how long he had been walking. He seemed to have forgotten the passage of time. He was still slowly raising his feet, stepping on the slow-moving and almost stationary mudslide. Looking around, it seemed that the surroundings were almost the same, but there were many subtleties. The difference has changed dramatically.
It was like, on the path in front of him, the debris flow was gradually coming to a standstill, as if it had lost its power, and the gravel began to gradually roll aside.
The surrounding trees are passing by quickly, disappearing quickly, and even turning into a bare patch, and even the weeds seem to be growing in reverse.
Zhang Hao still looked at these changes as before, indifferent. His eyes gradually became confused, his pupils were dilated and unable to focus.
It seemed that in just a short moment, the scene in front of him changed drastically.
There is no longer a forest in front of us, and we can't see any trees, not even a trace of weeds.
The forest path that was submerged by the mudslide was also gone, replaced by a loess path that stretched forward.
The path is very narrow and can only allow one person to walk through it. If someone comes from the opposite side, they cannot move away because there are thorns on both sides of the path. Many of the thorns have little blood on them, like It's like the mark left by someone trying to break through the thorns.
He looked up and looked around blankly, his expression was almost dull, and his body was stiff, like a puppet controlled by someone. It also seemed that his mind had been sealed, and only this body was left.
He was soon attracted by the many brightly colored flowers planted on both sides of the path.
The flower bloomed very beautifully, and the color was as bright as blood. The petals were in the shape of an arc and wrapped in a bead-like heart. The stem of the flower was green, not that light green, but dark green. , you can even see the green liquid flowing in it.
There are such flowers blooming on both sides of the path, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
Zhang Hao still stood there blankly, still looking at him with dull eyes.
Where am I?
who I am?
What am I doing here?
Three questions appeared in his mind one after another, lingering on the top of his head and hanging on his heart.
yes.
who I am?
have no idea.
What am I doing here?
I don’t seem to know either.
Where am I?
Still don’t know...
He looked at everything uncertainly, like an intern who had just entered the company, confused and at a loss about everything.
"Don't linger on the road to the underworld! Go quickly!"
Sudden.
Behind him, there was a sharp, harsh, and strange sound that made people feel frightened.
He shivered all over, as if he was frightened by the sound, and subconsciously wanted to look back.
"Don't look back on the road to hell!"
The voice seemed to be a warning and a threat.
He shivered violently again, quickly turned his head back, raised his steps, and walked straight forward along the path that divided the two seas of flowers in two.
Huangquan Road...Am I on Huangquan Road?
Am I...am I dead?
Since I am on the Huangquan Road, it means that I am really dead, so the flower I just saw is the other side flower?
It should be so. Only on Huangquan Road can such bright flowers bloom, and only on Huangquan Road can there be flowers of the other side.
But how did I die?
Why...why can't I remember anything else?
This is not scientific.
What did I do when I was alive, and how did I die... Anyway, you should let me know. Even if you go to the underworld, you still have to know how you died. I will have to tell you when the king of hell comes. .
Wait, why do I remember the King of Hell and the underworld?
I should obviously not be able to remember anything.
Thinking of this, he no longer thought about it, but continued to move forward, as if other things were unimportant and unimportant. His mission was to keep moving forward, all the time.
Don’t let that voice behind you appear again, don’t listen to that weird, scary sound behind you anymore.
He kept walking forward, his pace gradually accelerating, and the bright flowers of the other side of the flower passed quickly by him. The path in front of him still stretched forward, as if... it seemed that he would never see the end.
Just then.
He suddenly stopped, and his dazed eyes seemed to be struggling with clarity.
"Go quickly! Don't stay on the road to Huangquan!"
His body trembled violently, and the struggling clarity in his eyes disappeared, and confusion took over again.
But instead of continuing to move forward, he wanted to turn around and see what was behind him. What exactly is urging me!
However, he couldn't do it. It seemed that there was a mysterious force in his body that was preventing him from doing it, as if he was preventing himself from doing it.
What the hell is going on?
What happened...
"Go! Go! Go!"
That scary, harsh, weird voice is still urging.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if his body was regaining control, controlling him to lift his steps and continue walking towards the path in front of him.
But there was another force inside him, telling him not to go forward.
He didn't know who to listen to or what to do...
Who should we listen to?
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Go! Go! Go!"
The voice was still urging, like a reminder of death, or like a ghost urging death.
He could even feel that the thing seemed to be getting closer, and it would come behind him soon... it would come to him soon, as long as it wouldn't take long, and it would come behind him and push him... …Give him a push.
That voice should be the person who manages order on Huangquan Road, right?
I just stopped here. If there were people behind me, it would definitely block other people. I should, should continue to move forward.
It should be...this truth, right?
"Hurry up! Fengdu is ahead! Once you enter Fengdu, you can be reincarnated!"
The voice seemed to see that urging was useless, so it changed its strategy.
He raised his blank eyes and looked forward with an almost dull expression.
At this time, the path that was originally boundless ended at an end.
With dim light and darkness all around, a building gate like a city gate appeared at the end of the path. On the majestic, gloomy, and terrifying city gate, there were two large characters hanging.
[Fengdu] The seat of the underworld, also known as the underworld office...
Everyone who dies should report to Fengdu and be reincarnated.
He is no exception.
Just as when he saw the gate of [Fengdu], he actually felt a bit of intimacy, as if...as if he belonged here and should have entered [Fengdu].
As long as, as long as he continues to move forward, taking even one step, he can reach [Fengdu], he can enter [Fengdu], he only needs to take one step... one step.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, his expression was no longer dull, but full of yearning, and his eyes were no longer blank, but full of enthusiasm and expectation.
As long as... he takes one step forward, he can reach the [Fengdu] that he has longed for.
"Woof woof woof!"
Sudden.
He heard a dog barking, but the barking was vague. Listening carefully, it seemed that it was not a dog barking, but that weird voice urging him again.
It's that annoying voice again...it just urges people to appreciate the scenery on the road. It's already dead and it doesn't make people feel more relaxed, really.
Thinking like this, he raised his steps and moved forward.
Just before his feet hit the ground.
"Woof woof woof!"
The dog barked again.
He subconsciously retracted his steps, anger appeared on his face, turned around directly, and cursed at the voice behind him: "Urgent, urged, why urge! Can you let people..."
< br>
His eyes became blank again, and his expression became even duller.
There was no one behind him, no strange beings, or managers maintaining order on Huangquan Road.
On the path behind him, there was only one dog, a puppy that was completely black, with occasional golden hair, and its four hooves were as white as snow, with a tuft of golden hair on its head.
The dog barked at him desperately, grinning with a fierce expression.
"Woof woof woof!"
"Woof woof woof!"
"Woof woof woof!"
He just looked at the dog quietly, stunned.
Dog...dog...
This dog seems familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before. Have I...have I seen this dog before?
Maybe, maybe I’ve seen it before...
No, [Fengdu] is right in front of me. I already, I have already gone to [Fengdu] as soon as possible...
But before he could turn around, the dog was already in front of him, biting his trouser leg, trying desperately to pull him back.
He was stunned, lowered his head, and looked at the dog tugging at his trouser leg. His expression was neither annoyed nor angry, and he just looked at it quietly.
At this time, he slowly squatted down, held the dog biting his trouser leg in his arms, and gently stroked the dog's head with his hand.
Then, he turned around silently, looked at the path under his feet, and then at the flowers on both sides of the path, and finally set his sights on the majestic, terrifying, and emitting green light [Fengdu City].
He gently stroked the dog's head with a smile on his lips: "Xiaobai, damn it, I just saw the underworld. Damn it."
boom.
Click!
As Zhang Hao said these words, everything around him shattered, just like the special effects screen in a game.
The so-called Huangquan Road, the Flower of the Other Shore, and even [Fengdu City] at the end of the path, everything is dissipating, fading away, everything is being dispersed.
Zhang Hao's eyes are no longer blank, his expression is no longer dull, and his body is not stiff at all.
He lowered his head, looked at the cliffs at his feet, felt the whistling of the mountain wind, felt the baptism of the heavy rain, and felt everything in the mountain.
He took a deep breath, took a few steps back, and muttered: "Fuck... I almost went to the underworld."
Everything that just happened was vivid in my mind, like everything that really happened, but also like an illusion, a scene that only existed in a dream.
He really thought that he was really dead, and that he was really going to [Fengdu City] to report.
The most terrifying thing is that he forgot who he was and everything else.
Thinking about it now, Zhang Hao felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat and his back felt cold.
That feeling was so real, and it really made him shudder.
However, he can now be 100% sure that what happened just now was caused by the mysterious mountain treasure, and it was the mountain treasure that was hindering him from finding traces.
The ash of the first incense has many functions, but it has side effects. If an experienced Shanbao uses the ash of the first incense in the face of mountain walkers, it is possible to use special means to use the side effects of the ash in the first incense to control walking. Mountain people.
And by using the side effects of the incense ash, the six senses of the mountaineer can be temporarily blinded, that is, the eye consciousness, the ear consciousness, the nose consciousness, the tongue consciousness, the body consciousness, and the consciousness.
This further affects the six sense organs and six dusts, which means that all the eighteen realms are temporarily isolated.
At that time, this person will forget everything, memory, personality, instinct, etc. Everything will be forgotten.
In this way, the mountain treasure can be fabricated at will, change the perception at will, and do whatever it wants. Of course, the so-called randomness also has great restrictions.
For example, you cannot kill people directly, you cannot have too strong a sense of guidance, etc...
Therefore, Zhang Hao would think that he had really died at that time, really came to the underworld, and really saw [Fengdu City]...
At that time, the voice that had been urging Zhang Hao from behind was actually Xiaobai. Xiaobai was a [mountain calling dog], and its bark could wake people up from the illusion, but Zhang Hao did not enter the illusion. Among them, it is blinded by the eighteen realms, so ordinary cries cannot wake it up, and will be distorted wantonly.
But in the end, fortunately, Xiaobai stepped forward, came to Zhang Hao's side, and finally woke Zhang Hao up.
It can be said that if there was no Xiaobai, then Zhang Hao would have taken that step, and what was waiting for him was real death. Maybe he could actually see the underworld and see [Fengdu City] 】.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao smiled bitterly.
I have to say that this mountain treasure is quite vicious, which indirectly shows that the intelligence of this mountain treasure is definitely much higher than that of those foxes.
It seems that this mountain treasure is not so easy to catch, so we need to think carefully about it.
At present, the most important thing is to find a way to truly break away from the state that has blinded the Eighteen Realms.
You must know that it does not mean that he has escaped from the so-called illusion, it means that he has escaped from the state of deceiving the Eighteen Realms.
Now it is possible for him to enter the extremely real state just now at any time.
If you enter again, it will not be so easy to be woken up by Xiaobai again...
