At this time, Xuanyin only felt that her stomach was extremely uncomfortable.
But... she finally stopped throwing up.
What bothered her was that in her psychic senses, the ghosts who intended to approach her began to gradually leave.
Do ghosts... fear mediums
The truth is, ghosts are often attracted to psychics. Ghosts will be afraid, it should be ghosts, and demon hunters are right.
However, in any case, for Xuanyin, this is a good thing.
Then she just lay on the ghost boat like this, letting the boat move slowly.
but…
Then she suddenly opened her eyes!
Because she saw a young bird parked on the bow of the ghost ship!
This is the third time Xuanyin sees Guhuo Bird. This is not as creepy as the previous few times. However, Xuanyin realizes that the existence of Guhuo Bird means that disaster is coming.
At this time, she suddenly heard some strange voices. Immediately, she looked down.
Then... She saw a terrifying scene.
That's... some of the last vomit she just threw up. And in the darkness, she barely discerned that it seemed to be some kind of...
"Meat"
However, since she set foot on Minshan Mountain, she ate very plain, almost never contaminated with meat.
However, that vomit... or "meat"? It is wriggling like a living thing!
"This... what is this?"
However, when she moved her eyes to the bow of the ship again, she found that... the young bird was gone.
The flesh vomited out by her, in the process of wriggling, unexpectedly began to gradually swell!
Why... no, should I say what's going on
Then... the squirming mass of flesh began to form some kind of weird shape.
That shape...that outline...is very familiar.
Unlike the Night King, Ayane is affected by darkness. However, as a psychic, she can still replace vision through perception.
That flesh...in just a moment... unexpectedly, formed a human face!
That human face opened its "eyes" and "mouth", revealing a very strange image!
And those eyes... revealed a chilling look of malice!
A distorted face was being formed on the piece of flesh, and then, as the piece of flesh continued to expand, things that looked like limbs began to grow!
Then, that face stared at Xuanyin, and his mouth opened wide, as if he was about to say something...
"Whoosh"!
A black shadow swooped down, and then swallowed the lump of meat in one gulp!
Girl caught the bird!
Gu Huo Niao actually swallowed that lump of meat!
No... It shouldn't be called swallowing, because next, Xuanyin saw that the bird was flying in front of her, chewing that comparable piece of meat! But Gu Huo Niao's face was already human-like, so this scene looked very strange.
Meat…
When did you eat that meat
The death of her father caused Xuanyin's memory to fall into a state of fragmentation. She couldn't remember many things clearly.
When did she... eat that "meat"
While Gu Huo Niao was chewing the piece of meat, her eyes were fixed on Xuanyin!
This feeling made Xuanyin feel terrified.
While staring at Guhuo Niao's eyes, Xuanyin even felt in a trance. In the line of sight, only Gu Huo Niao's eyes are left!
I don't know how long it has passed, a voice suddenly came from the trance consciousness!
"Can you hear it? Xiahou Xuanyin?"
She was in a trance, and after a while, she remembered who the owner of this voice was.
Xiahou Night King!
"Night... the Night King?"
At this moment... On the ghost ship of Xia Hou's house, the Night King was putting his hand on Xu Qinghe's shoulder. At this time, Xu Qinghe fell into an unconscious state, and she became the bridge between the Night King and Xuanyin.
"Listen to what I'm going to say next. After excluding the hard-to-absorb parts, you should have perfectly 'digested' the 'meat'. This is enough for you to reach the underworld on the other side of the underworld, Fengdu City alive!"
"Meat? You... do you know? What is that meat?"
"Of course. Almost everyone in the Xiahou family knows about it. One of the great advantages of eating that 'meat' is that it can make the ghosts see us as the dead instead of the living. Of course, there is a time limit. But , this is not the only advantage of 'meat'. But it's a pity... such ghosts as bull head and horse noodles cannot be fooled."
"At the end of the day... why do members of your family risk their lives to sneak into the underworld and step on the bridge of Naihe? Is it simply to bring the dead back to the underworld?"
The Night King had known for a long time that Xuan Yin would ask this question.
It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to understand this.
"Everyone is mortal." The Night King suddenly said these six words: "A line from a Western novel I like very much."
"Yes, I know… "
"As long as it is a mortal body, no one can resist death. Because this is the law of heaven and earth. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the way of heaven. If you want to forcibly reverse, you have to choose the way of cultivating Taoism and becoming immortal. In "Journey to the West", Monkey King is seeking longevity It is the best example of this that he worshiped Patriarch Bodhi and cultivated the body of an immortal, so that his name was even canceled in the book of life and death."
"The story of Journey to the West...isn't it a fiction?"
"Most of the plots must be fictitious. Xuanzang's journey to the west will certainly not have three apprentices protecting him. But the description of the underworld has a certain degree of authenticity. If you want to truly seek longevity like Monkey King, you will It is a difficult thing. The Xiahou family has a long history, no matter the clan or the branch family, they have been cultivators for generations, except for special cases like you... However, until now, even a single earth immortal has never been born. And even the earth immortals have never survived the calamity of ascension, nor can they live the same life as the heavens and the earth."
The Night King knows the history of the Xiahou family like the palm of his hand, like a treasure.
"As long as you don't cross the tribulation and ascend to the rank of immortals, your name will always be recorded in the book of life and death. When Yangshou arrives, the bull head and horse face will arrest ghosts. No matter how heroic you were in life, you can't escape the ending of being arrested by ghosts and sent to the underworld. .And the ascetics in the family, once unable to survive the catastrophe, will eventually have to die under the catastrophe, and will not even be qualified to enter reincarnation. This is the price of trying to go against the sky."
Human beings are always like this, knowing that it is an act against the way of heaven, but still doing it for their own desires.
However... mortals are mortal. As a mortal, this is a destiny that cannot be changed.
"As the saying goes, if one person attains the Tao, the chickens and dogs will soar. If someone in the family can survive the catastrophe of ascension, then the fate of the entire family will be completely changed. The Xiahou family will no longer be ordinary, and the bloodline will also be completely changed. But... Countless Over the years, generations of arrogance have only fallen on the road of cultivating the Tao. So... finally one day, the members of the Xiahou family made a decision... "
"A... doomed decision..."
