Demon Exchange

Chapter 231 Huangquan Road
The sixteen flags are lined up on the left and right sides!

Holding the talisman paper in his hand, Ning Qiu stepped on Yu steps, muttering words in his mouth, and the head of the talisman burst into flames!He threw the talisman paper forward, only to see that the flame of the talisman paper was getting bigger and bigger, forming a big circle of fire!The flags on both sides started to flutter without wind, and the color of the fire circle began to turn black, with slight ripples constantly appearing inside, and a blurry scene could be vaguely seen!
His body quickly became spiritual, he took a few steps forward, passed through the fire circle, and disappeared into the bar...

Only the circle formed by the gathered flames is slowly turning...

The breeze is blowing, bringing a piercing coolness...

here is……

Ning Qiu opened his eyes.

At this time, he was standing on a boundless and desolate Gobi...

Look up, the gray sky...

Look at the ground again, gray stones, gray land, like a completely faded world!He couldn't hear any sound, the silence was terrifying, as if all living things had been extinct...

Ok?
and many more……

There is the sound of running water...

He lowered his head and frowned. His feet were actually standing in a stream, and his trouser legs were being washed by the pale yellow water...

Was there a stream here just now?

The stream is not wide, about four or five meters, and the water is very shallow, just below the ankle...

Suddenly there was a light flickering in front of me...

The stream under your feet is faintly visible with the flickering light...

He suddenly realized that it was the appearance of this light that he could see this yellow stream!

Take a step forward and chase in the direction of the blue light!
As the distance got closer, he found that the light came from a lantern. The lantern was in the shape of an ancient barrel, wrapped in a circle of paper, and lifted from above by a wooden stick...

The person holding the lantern in front of him was a middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and brown cloth pants. His hair was very short, resembling that of a labor camp prisoner. His skin was a thick dead gray, and his entire portrait was faded. Similarly, except for the clothes, there are only black, white and gray left.There is a hole on the back of his head, and there is also a hole between his eyebrows, which seems to be pierced by something...

The spiritualized Ning Qiu who entered here was almost the same as the person in front of him, his whole body was dead gray!
He is walking slowly...

The person in front of him is not a living person, he is in the state of a soul, although it looks a little dull, but it is a little more agile than the soul of Yang Jian.At this moment, the man with a hole in his head raised his head and looked at Ning Qiu: "Where's your lantern..." The voice was very soft, like the last words of those who are dying, weak but weak...

lantern?

Ning Qiu was startled, the consciousness of this soul is quite clear!

According to what he and Yemeng saw through the mirror, Luo Yueqi and Yao Chiji are very likely to be imprisoned in the volcanic hell in the underworld!

Before meeting the two of them, he needs to hide his identity as much as possible, don't reveal it, and don't want to conflict, so as not to add difficulty to his trip for no reason!Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Ning Qiu tried not to show any expression, and replied in a deadpan way: "I don't know, I'm here when I wake up... What's the use of this lantern, where did it come from..."

The middle-aged man raised the lantern stiffly, and even pointed to the boundless Gobi Desert behind him!
He said faintly: "The gate of the ghost is closed, and the ghost who guards the gate sent...the lantern...can illuminate the road ahead, so you won't get lost..."

Ning Qiu was a little surprised that this kind of thing still happened. Could it be that outsiders broke into the underworld, and if there were no lanterns to illuminate them, they would be trapped in the boundless Gobi desert forever?

The corner of his mouth raised slightly: "Brother, can you give me your lantern?"

The middle-aged man turned around and held up the lantern: "The ghost messenger said, this lantern is a ghost, so you can't throw it away..." Before he finished speaking, his head fell to the ground, leaving only a blank body standing there. Go!Ning Qiu took the lantern in his hand with his left hand: "Thank you, big brother!" He pinched the paper knife made of talisman paper with the middle finger of his right hand, and it was this paper knife that separated the head and body of the person in front of him...

After all, it is a soul, and it is in the underworld!

Even if the head is moved, there is no sign of being wiped out in a while, even if you give it some more time!

It is possible that the body can pick up the head and put it on by itself!

Ning Qiu took out the glass bottle, and he bowed gratefully: "Brother, you gave me the lantern. You may have committed a crime and been shot to death with your appearance! Then I can't just watch you go to hell." Suffering, I will send you to another place, although it is a bit boring, but at least it can play some value..."

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand: "My lantern..."

His body and head turned into blue smoke and were directly put into a glass bottle...

Putting the glass bottle into his pocket, Ning Qiu looked in from the top of the lantern, but there was no candle, only a small bottle filled with oil, and a wick extending upward from the floor, with a light blue flame radiating from it!It is this rickety fire that seems to be extinguished at any time, which can illuminate a way forward in this barren Gobi...

According to the description of the legend of Yincao Difu, the slowly flowing stream under the feet should be the legendary Huangquan Road!

However, according to the legend, flowers bloom on the other side of the Yellow Spring Road. Why is there only one Yellow Spring here but no flowers or plants?
Ning Qiu rolled the talisman paper into a long and thin paper stick, put it into the lantern and lightly flicked the wick, the weak flame immediately intensified a few times, the whole lantern was filled with blue light, and the underworld became clearer under his feet!Immediately afterwards, bright red flowers appeared continuously on both sides, but in an instant, his whole body was almost submerged in the sea of ​​flowers...

This bright red Bianhua, also known as Manjusawa, has needle-like petals!
Commonly known as the flower of reception, it can make the soul walking on the road to Huangquan finally recall some profound things in life!

When the breeze blows, the manjus are blooming in the sea of ​​flowers, and every small flower sways gently, moving like a wave, and the faint fragrance penetrates into the tip of the nose. Ning Qiu only feels that some fragments of dusty memories in his mind have been turned out!When he was a child, old man Ning stood behind him with a bamboo whip, urging himself to study hard. If he lost his mind a little, the bamboo whip would fall on his arm and draw a red mark...

And every time on the way home from school, the old aunt nearby would point to herself and say to the child, "Look at Ning Qiu, how good at studying, if you can have half of his, I will be thankful!" Then Ning Qiu would feel the gazes focused on his spine. He knew that those were the gazes of children being taught. If gazes could kill, he would have died countless times...

These childhood memories should not be recalled, but under the fragrance, he remembered them all...

Shaking his head slightly, he buried these memories back...

The past should be buried in the past, and thinking about it again will only add to the heart.The underworld suppressed the flames of the lanterns, probably because they didn't want the souls to walk on the road to the underworld, causing unnecessary troubles with their wild thoughts.In the boundless sea of ​​manzhushahuahuahua, he strode forward with a lantern in his hand...
