Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 253 The Fox Leads the Way
Fat Wei, Ghost Knife and Chen Zhi watched Qing'e's shadowless body walking in front of them in silence, feeling an indescribable sense of strangeness and fear in their hearts, especially Ghost Knife, whose eyes kept staring coldly at him. Looking at her, her hand never left the handle of the knife.

Chen Zhi has heard that there is one thing in this world that has no shadow, and that is ghosts.

Ghosts have been the most extreme fear of death in the human mind since ancient times. They are considered to be the appearance of people after death. There have been many descriptions of ghosts since ancient times. Some people think that ghosts are bad and will hurt people. Wrong ghosts will find substitutes. For revenge, there are also female ghosts who will suck the blood of men.

There is a description in "Book of Rites? Jiyi", "All living beings must die, and death must return to scholars. This is called a ghost, and ghosts have no shadow." The meaning mentioned in it is that ghosts are the souls of dead people, and ghosts and people The biggest difference is that ghosts have no shadows.

"Is the woman in front of me who calls herself Qing'e really a fox fairy?" Chen Zhi thought to himself, "Or did she die in a closet 1000 years ago, but she didn't know it yet?" .

Chen Zhi remembered that Qin Yueyang once told him with certainty that there were no ghosts in this world, but what happened before him made Chen Zhi doubtful.

Qing'e didn't show any abnormality, she didn't turn her head to look at Chen Zhi and the others, but walked down the stairs quickly from the wooden ladder, her posture was very light, her manner was relaxed and natural, without vigilance feel.It really feels like an ordinary seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl without any scheming.

"Come down quickly!" Qing'e said in a crisp tone from downstairs, her face full of innocence.

"Alright! Wait for me, sister, I'll go down right now."

At this time, Pang Wei didn't seem to be afraid at all. In fact, since entering the God's Domain, Pang Wei seldom showed that he was afraid of anything.He grinned heartlessly and said, "It's interesting."

After speaking, he raised his gun and went straight downstairs.

Ghost Saber and Chen Zhi glanced at each other, and then followed.

When they returned to the yard, the parrots were shocked when they saw Qing'e appearing suddenly.The parrot was the most exaggerated, almost laying on the ground without holding the gun. He pointed the gun at Qing'e and said, "Brother Xiaozhi, what's going on? She, who is she, do you need me to shoot?".

"I'll fuck you, look how scared you are, he is a fox fairy and demigod, just like Qin Yueyang, not a demon." Fat Wei patted the parrot on the back of the head and said, "How can you be a monster? Are you a Maoshan Taoist?"

At this time, Chen Zhi casually described the experience of seeing Qing'e to the parrots, and described it as a miracle of being able to keep alive in the realm of the gods. He tried to be vague, emphasizing that Qing'e was The status of a demigod reminds everyone of Qin Yueyang and reduces everyone's fear.

But Parrot and the others were still very surprised, thinking that this incident was simply unbelievable, they were very wary of this woman named Qing'e, and did not dare to get close to this fox fairy.

Qing'e was very calm at this time, and she didn't seem to want to explain too much. At this time, she showed an unusual indifference and simplicity, and didn't ask a word about the identities of Chen Zhi and others and the purpose of coming here. .It seems that she wants to bring everyone to the sacred tomb where the nine-tailed sky fox is buried, so that she can leave this divine domain and go outside to find her husband Ren Quan from the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Zhi waited for everyone's panic to subside, and asked them to rearrange their equipment and prepare to set off.

Chen Zhi first went to the gate of the courtyard to check the situation outside the courtyard, but found that the sky outside was filled with light yellow thick fog, covering the sky, and the smell of meat had become very pungent, mixed with the smell of sulfur, which was already thick. The thick one surrounds the outside of the yard and is very rich, but it is blocked by a row of small trees.

Chen Zhi frowned looking at the mist that filled the sky, and went back to the courtyard helplessly to ask Qing'e. "Do you know when the aroma of the food outside will dissipate? Why are there so many eating Gu here?"

Qing'e shook her head, blinked innocently, "I don't know, I fell asleep after entering the cabinet, I don't know what happened during this time."

Chen Zhi pondered for a while and said to everyone, "We don't have much time, but we are trapped here now, the smell from the eating Gu outside is getting stronger and stronger, we have to wait for the smell to dissipate before we can go out , but God knows when. Or, we can find another way."

After hearing Chen Zhi's words, everyone was frowning. It was impossible to find another way in this strange place.

But at this time, Qing'e beside her suddenly said, "I know another way."

"I know that there is a shortcut leading directly into the shrine in the center of the city. It is a secret passage known only to demigods. When we were young, we often sneaked through this passage to play in the shrine. This road is very familiar, I will take you there, you come with me!".

After everyone heard Qing'e's words, they were excited at first, and then worried. The reason was obvious. If following this woman of unknown origin and letting a fox fairy lead the way, the consequences would be to throw themselves into a trap.

Chen Zhi didn't move after hearing this, and he didn't say no, with a little hesitation on his face.
"Okay, sister, we're relying on you!" Fat Wei responded loudly, turned around and whispered to Chen Zhi, "Okay! Let's go, don't think so much. Besides, why are you afraid of her? Sometimes You have to learn how to pretend to be a little confused, people don’t break down, don’t you understand? If she really wants to help us, we will appreciate it! Think about it, if she really wants to lay hands on us, she still needs to choose someone Do we only do it locally? We have already entered other people's territory."

What Fat Wei said is actually very reasonable. Although the identity of this woman who claims to be Qing'e is very suspicious now, it can be seen from the feeling on her body that she is not hostile. If Qing'e really wants to harm them, she can also There is no need to use crying to lure them upstairs, just start in the dark.The most important thing is that they have no other choice right now, following Qing'e is the only way.

After resting for a period of time, Shi Shi's condition is much better now, but it may be because he swallowed the meat containing Gu eating just now and vomited too much, his face is still ashen, his thinking is not quick, and his hands and feet are a little bit weak. Numb, but walking with the team is no problem.

Qing'e waved to everyone, gesturing for everyone to follow her, and then quickly walked to the backyard.

They arrived at a corner of the wall at the back of the courtyard, where some strange small flowers with green cores and white petals were densely planted, exuding a strange aroma, which made people feel sleepy after smelling it.

At this moment, Qing'e stretched out three fingers, made a seal quickly, put it to her mouth and said the incantation softly twice.Everyone felt a slight vibration on the ground, and the flowers, plants and land in front of them immediately split apart in a criss-cross pattern, like a pile of jigsaw puzzles scattered, revealing a big black hole below.

A section of stone steps was exposed under the black hole, leading directly into the darkness below, with no end visible.

"This is the secret passage," Qing'e turned around and said to them, "This is a shortcut to the shrine, you all follow me!"

But at this time, no one moved.

When they saw this dark underground passage, everyone hesitated. They said that there was a way to go, and they thought it was the road on the ground, but what everyone didn't expect was to go underground. Inside the cave, it was pitch black and bottomless. What mechanism was hidden inside?Who dares to go in easily?

Qing'e seemed to see everyone's hesitation, and suddenly smiled cleverly on her pretty face, her two eyes sparkled, she really looked like a fox in the dark.

"You don't have to worry, hurry up and follow me! After half an hour here, the aroma will invade the yard, and the incense tree will not be able to stop it. At that time, you will go crazy because of the poisonous poison, Biting and devouring each other to death, wouldn't you prefer that?"
