Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 458 The Person Who Did Not Appear

Zhang Xianguang opened the ghost bridge and ghost cave on the Yellow Spring Road without any restrictions or interference. On the contrary, he even felt that the ghost bridge should exist here, naturally.

“The ghost bridge leads the dead souls, but the dead souls that actually cross the ghost bridge and invade the real world cannot be resurrected in the true sense.”

"The Yellow Springs Road is full of dead souls. If you can bring the dead souls to the other side of the road, you can revive them."

"It seems that there must be some connection between the Ghost Bridge and the Yellow Spring Road. Perhaps when the two complement each other, they can reverse life and death and truly revive the dead."

Zhang Xianguang has been in the supernatural circle for decades. Among all the living ghost handlers today, his understanding of the supernatural is definitely among the best. He can draw inferences from many similar cases with just a little thought.

There are a total of six bridges in the ghost den, but at this moment, these bridges are crowded with ghosts. However, despite this, there are still ghosts who are trying crazy to squeeze onto one of the bridges, as if there is something on the other side of the bridge that all the ghosts are rushing to.

"I understand."

Suddenly, a light flashed in Zhang Xianguang's eyes. He had thought of it.

"Yellow Spring Road, Forgotten River, Naihe Bridge..."

"Those who cross the bridge enter samsara, and can bring the dead back to life."

Zhang Xianguang murmured in a low voice. He did not believe in coincidences because he had traveled to many mysterious places over the years. Any such corresponding and exquisite balance must have come from human arrangement.

He stopped talking and walked alone to the edge of the road. To the side was an abyss that seemed to have no bottom. The abyss was filled with darkness and could not be seen at all.

"There is no Forgotten River here. Perhaps the Ghost Lake is also one of the important arrangements here. However, I have never taken the black ferry myself, so I cannot confirm this idea."

The wooden tablet was used for bowing, and the people and ghosts retreated.

Zhang Xianguang, wearing a long robe, subdued the ghosts again. He didn't have the leisure to extradite these ghosts. Guess was just a guess, he didn't want to put it into practice, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

……

"We've walked for at least dozens of kilometers, and there aren't any buildings or anything else along the way. The only thing is that the number of dead souls on the road has decreased a lot."

Hotis began to feel doubtful. It seemed that this place was different from the dead city he entered last time.

"Let's go a little further. If we still don't see anything, we'll turn back. Judging by the time, the captains should have caught up with us."

After a brief thought, Hortis made a decision. It was a do-or-die battle anyway, so it didn't make much difference whether he was far or near.

……

The first person to walk out of the Yellow Springs Road was He Yuelian. She stood in the middle of the road, surrounded by a dead silence and oppression. There were no people, no ghosts, only numb and cold wandering souls.

"Wait here. The Yellow Springs Road is only a road after all. Even I can walk out. There is no reason why the other captains will be trapped."

He Yuelian thought to herself that she was a very smart person. Although her experience in life-and-death battles was not as good as the captain's, she had mastered the two top supernatural powers, ghost painting and corpse bride. This was also her most unique asset that other captains could not match.

About ten minutes later, the second captain appeared. It was Wang Chaling. Behind him were three terrifying ghosts. Even He Yuelian felt very afraid.

"He Yuelian, I didn't expect you to be the first one to come out."

Wang Chaling smiled and stayed where he was, waiting for other teammates to appear.

About five minutes later, Zhang Xianguang's figure also squeezed out from the dense crowd of dead souls.

Next came Shen Lin, who was holding the scarlet ghost axe. The axe blade was covered with scarlet and black blood. It was obvious that he had just experienced a confrontation and fight.

"Cao Yang hasn't come out yet?"

Shen Lin couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw the three people present. Although Yang Jian was the captain of the law enforcement team, judging from his previous experience and performance, Cao Yang was much more powerful. It was very abnormal that he was still trapped in the Yellow Springs Road.

"Team Cao and Team Yang haven't come out yet, and Ye Zhen seems to be trapped as well."

Wang Chaling pushed his glasses and said, to be honest, he also found it hard to believe this situation, but the best explanation is that the supernatural never makes sense. The stronger the supernatural, the greater the resistance it encounters. "Who is behind this, Ye? A mere broken road can't possibly trap me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhen's voice suddenly rang out. He was seen holding the bronze sword and walking out of the Yellow Springs Road very leisurely.

"Oh my, it seems that I, Ye, have far surpassed Xiao Cao and Xiao Yang. I overestimated them."

Ye Zhen waved the bronze sword and said with a grin.

"You're not afraid of hurting your back when you brag."

Yang Jian's cold voice interrupted Ye Zhen's childish quotes. At the same time, the souls on this Yellow Springs Road were instantly dyed black and disappeared in an instant, as if they were swallowed up by the black shadow on the ground.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Yang? I haven't seen you for a few minutes. You look so good now."

Ye Zhen's expression remained unchanged.

"Cao Yang didn't come out? He wouldn't try to revive the dead."

Yang Jian glanced over but did not see any trace of Cao Yang, which made him a little surprised.

"He wouldn't do such a thing, would he?"

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly.

"Wait a little longer. This is a road of no return. Even if we turn back, we can't go back to where we were. All we can do is wait."

"If we wait another half an hour, we won't have enough time. I think half an hour is an acceptable delay."

Yang Jian glanced at the time. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening. They had wasted at least two hours on this road to the underworld. The time when the supernatural and reality alternated was generally six o'clock in the morning, which meant that there were eight hours left. During these eight hours, they needed to find the king's trace, kill them, and finally return to reality.

"Li Yang didn't come out either. I believe he wouldn't do anything stupid, so he was probably delayed by a fierce ghost hiding on the Yellow Springs Road."

Yang Jian leaned on his spear and stared coldly at the dense group of dead souls.

Time passed, and when there were five minutes left before the half hour agreed upon by Yang Jian, an old, mottled, red-painted wooden door appeared out of nowhere and sucked in all the surrounding souls.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yang's figure gradually walked out from behind the door. It could be seen that his condition seemed to be affected a little, and a cold aura was spreading uncontrollably.

"Captain, I'm here."

Peeping through the ghost eyes, Yang Jian saw Li Yang's memories and experiences over the past period of time. Many ghosts transformed into the appearance of captains, and even copied the captains' supernatural powers. Li Yang was stopped by these ghosts.

"Adjust your state and wait for Cao Yang for another five minutes."

Yang Jian took out the tumbler and handed it to Li Yang. This thing could alleviate some of the restlessness of the revived evil spirits and prevent the dead evil spirits from reviving again.

"It's the last minute, and Captain Cao still hasn't come out..."

Wang Chaling's expression became solemn. In his opinion, the Yellow Springs Road should not be able to trap Cao Yang, but the other party did not show up yet...

"Ten seconds left."

……

……

"Let's go. I'll leave traces on the road. If Cao Yang shows up, he can follow the clues to find us."

A pool of water oozed out under Yang Jian's feet, but the water was spreading too slowly. Some of the water was even slowly disappearing, as if it was being rejected by something and there was no way to keep the water here.
