Chapter 33 Return to reality
"We don't have much time, let's go quickly."
Li Yi, wearing a human skin hood, pulled Zhao Qian and ran quickly through the ghost streets.
He bought coffin mushrooms and two clay horses, and settled everything. He originally wanted to spend more, but he didn't have enough time, so he had to give up. Otherwise, he could still spend some money to buy some weird things.
.
After all, Li Yi was prepared to default on his debt.
Relying on his own memory, Li Yi took the right route and soon took Zhao Qian to the familiar alley before, then turned left and right.
Not long after, the two people stopped in front of the gate of a small courtyard.
After looking around and seeing no ghosts wandering around, Li Yi dared to speak: "Miss Zhao, I won't go in. Please, Miss Zhao, please help me say goodbye to the master. I'm afraid that the master will be delayed because of the coffin issue after seeing me."
, leaving you with no way to leave here safely, and I have to go home."
"I still have my parents taking care of me at home, but it's a pity that I'm not alone. Otherwise, I really want to go to Xingzhou with Master."
"Brother Yi." Tears welled up in Zhao Qian's eyes. Although she and Li Yi had only known each other for less than an hour, they had experienced a lot.
Especially since just now, I spent sixty years of my life to become a disciple of my master, who had been apprenticed to him for less than an hour.
She knew very well that after seeing each other on the ghost street this time, it would be difficult to see each other again in the rest of their lives.
"It's okay. You have to take good care of yourself and Master in the future. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we can meet again." Li Yi patted her shoulder and said seriously.
"I thought I saw Yin soldiers wandering around just now. You should go in quickly. I'm leaving."
At this time, Li Yi glanced away.
It was as if an ancient soldier was passing by with a spear in his hand. His hair stood on end and he was shocked. He didn't dare to talk any more. He quickly put on his hood and ran away.
"Brother Yi," Zhao Qian shouted again.
Li Yi didn't look back, just waved goodbye and quickly disappeared around the corner of the alley.
"Crunch!"
At this time, Zhao Ge in the house heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door.
Zhao Ge looked around. When he saw Yin soldiers wandering nearby, his expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly pulled Zhao Qian into the courtyard and closed the door.
Fortunately, the door god on the courtyard gate has not faded yet.
The Yin soldiers passed by without disturbing him, but just wandered by, looking for the scent of other living people.
In the courtyard.
Zhao Ge shouted: "What happened, where is Mengde? What's the matter with the blood on your shoulder?"
He had very good eyesight and saw the blood stains on Zhao Qian's shoulder at a glance.
It was left behind when Li Yi patted her on the shoulder.
"Brother Yi left just now. He asked me to say goodbye to my father. He wanted to leave the ghost street and go home. He was afraid of delaying our time, so he didn't come in. Brother Yi is fine. He is safe. This blood belongs to Brother Yi.
It was left behind when the painting was signed.”
Zhao Qian explained, and then took out the coffin cheese: "Dad, look, this is the coffin cheese that Brother Yi bought."
When Zhao Ge heard that Li Yi left without saying goodbye, he was a little disappointed at first, but then he was relieved when he heard that Li Yi was okay. But when he finally saw the coffin in his daughter's hand, his eyes widened: "Such a big coffin."
Zhi? How much did it cost?"
"Six, sixty." Zhao Qian didn't dare to hide it and spat it out hesitantly.
"sixty?"
Snap!
Zhao Ge was furious in an instant and slapped Zhao Qian on the face: "Asshole, Meng De doesn't understand worldly affairs, don't you understand either? Sixty years of Yangshou are killing him, your father finally came to take care of him.
You are ruining such a good apprentice by doing this. The medicine is expensive and you can’t afford it. Your father’s life is over anyway.”
Zhao Qian's face was red from being beaten, but she did not dodge, she just endured it, and then cried: "My daughter doesn't know, but my daughter can't stop Brother Yi, he drew the pledge without any hesitation."
Zhao Ge kicked Zhao Qian over again, pointed at her and cursed: "Can you deceive others with your words? Can you deceive me? If you really want to stop me, can Meng Deneng draw the pledge? You are obviously hesitant.
Uncertainly, I made Meng De buy the coffin cheese half-heartedly."
"Dad, how did you let your daughter make a decision at that time? Sixty years of life, her daughter can't afford it. If her daughter can afford it, she won't hesitate at all. Brother Yi takes action now. Although my daughter feels guilty, she doesn't know whether she should stop him or not.
If we miss the time, our daughter will have no choice but to watch her father die." Zhao Qian began to cry.
After saying this, Zhao Ge slowly lowered the palm he raised at the moment, and then slapped his face hard again.
"well."
He sighed heavily, and then fell into deep self-blame and pain.
Zhao Qian continued: "Dad, Brother Yi has a life span of 150 years. He will be fine. In the future, when Brother Yi starts practicing, he will be able to make up for the lost life span. Don't you believe in the speed of Brother Yi's practice?
"
"One hundred and fifty years old? Is this true? You didn't lie to me." Zhao Ge suddenly raised his head and stared at her.
"Brother Yi used a birthday plate to test it. I saw it with my own eyes and it can't be faked." Zhao Qian wiped her tears and stood up.
Zhao Ge said: "With dragon sinews and tiger bones, strong qi and blood, and extraordinary talents, it is not surprising to have such a long life, but losing sixty years of life is equivalent to losing half a life. We, father and daughter, owe Meng Deliang a lot.
If I had known this, you should have left with Meng De just now, to help him take care of his parents, take care of his life, and teach him the playing methods that I have not yet finished teaching him."
"Dad, my daughter will go find Brother Yi right now and spend the rest of her life repaying Brother Yi's kindness." After Zhao Qian finished speaking, she immediately wanted to go out.
Zhao Ge hesitated for a moment, and finally grabbed his daughter before she stepped out of the yard: "There's not enough time, the time to leave the soul is coming soon, Meng De may have left the ghost street by now, that's all, that's all, I
After all, we don’t have enough fate with Mengde. Go back, go back, and we’ll see you again someday, so you can go with him.”
"Okay, everything is up to daddy." Zhao Qian pursed her lips and had no choice but to suppress her inner impulse.
This time.
There was a sudden banging sound at the courtyard door.
The huge movement woke up Zhao Ge and Zhao Qian immediately.
"Hurry, go back to the coffin. The door god on the door has failed. The evil soldiers and ghosts are coming in. We can't stay here anymore and have to go back." Zhao Ge reacted and rushed into the lobby with his daughter.
Then he quickly opened the coffin lid.
The coffin is empty inside.
Zhao Ge first put his daughter into the coffin and closed the coffin, then he lay down in another coffin next to him. With the strength of his hand, the coffin lid fell steadily with a bang.
After the two people lay down, the door to the courtyard was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind.
A dark wind blew into the lobby, blowing white paper money all over the floor.
The incense of leaving the soul is burned out.
But the two coffins in the middle of the lobby mysteriously disappeared.
Also missing were Zhao Ge and Zhao Qian in the coffin.
The dark wind swept around and found nothing. Finally, it blew open the window and left the small courtyard, leaving only a mess on the ground and the piece of wood with the fist mark.
at the same time.
A corner of ghost street.
Li Yi squatted on the ground, his fingers dripping blood.
Blood dripped on a pony made of mud on the ground.
"Is this really useful? I would actually believe such a bizarre thing."
He was very doubtful at the moment, but Li Yi had no choice but to try as much as possible, otherwise he might really be trapped and die on this weird street.
However, after the blood stained the mud horse, something incredible happened.
A black wind blew around the mud horse.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Li Yi could hardly open his eyes.
Later, Li Yi heard the neighing of fierce horses in the strong wind.
"Is there really such a magical thing?"
When the black wind dissipated, Li Yi opened his eyes wide and saw a tall and mysterious black horse appearing in front of him. This horse was not a living creature, its body was still made of clay, but it could move freely.
Such a scene was a bit beyond Li Yi's understanding.
But considering that ghosts and extraordinary creatures have appeared in this world, what happened before us seems not surprising.
"Take me away from this ghost street and return home." Li Yi jumped up and sat on the horse.
Although he can't ride a horse, he can hug the horse's neck tightly to prevent it from falling.
The horse raised its hooves and neighed, then breathed out, emitting black smoke.
Then the iron hooves galloped, and the horse rushed out in an instant carrying Li Yi.
"What a fast pace."
Li Yi felt the strong wind roaring in his ears, and his surrounding vision was blurred. The horse he sat down on galloped and had an indescribable feeling, as if he was riding in the clouds and mist.
"Wait a minute, the skin is falling off this horse?"
He immediately discovered that as the horse galloped, large areas of things peeled off the horse's body. Li Yi raised his hand and saw that his hand was covered with black soil.
The soil is fishy and smelly. I don't know what was mixed in it.
But the horse didn't stop and just ran wildly in one direction.
The surrounding buildings gradually changed.
The quaint and strange streets began to disappear, the big red lantern overhead gradually went out, the outlines of high-rise buildings gradually appeared in the surrounding darkness, and many scrapped cars began to appear on the nearby road. All these changes happened in just a moment.
Inside.
Li Yi seemed to have crossed over into a different world and returned to the modern city again.
"I really came back alive."
Suddenly.
The horse's running speed slowed down, and Li Yi found himself at the entrance of a street in the abandoned city, with the area shrouded in danger behind him.
He glanced back.
That weird street still exists, as if it is wandering between reality and illusion. Li Yi can even see many scary ghost figures wandering around. It can be seen that everything that happened before was not his fantasy before his death, but was real.
The horse began to stagger while running, and its body collapsed so badly that the white skeleton inside was even exposed.
We continued on for a few hundred meters.
This mud horse seemed to have reached its limit and was unable to send Li Yi back to the old city. After wailing, it completely collapsed and turned into mud and rotten bones all over the ground.
Li Yi fell off his horse, and he quickly stabilized his body. Looking at the completely scrapped mud horse, he felt a pity in his heart.
"It turns out that it is a one-time consumable and cannot be used repeatedly. Fortunately, I was prepared beforehand and bought two clay horses." He touched his pocket.
The remaining mud horse is well preserved and has no damage.
However, he kept it just in case, and Li Yi would not use it easily unless it was a special occasion.
"You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. It's not far anyway." Li Yi gradually gained confidence when he saw everything familiar around him. He didn't stay here and immediately turned back along the route he took to the danger zone.
He looked around a little.
It is still late at night, and there are probably still two or three hours before dawn.
It seems that Li Yi was not trapped in the ghost street for long.
Chapter completed!
