Fangzheng didn't know how long he had walked on Huangquan Road.
He could only follow the Daoist Xuanling who had a hazy back in front of him, and followed the Daoist Xuanling all the way forward.
Fangzheng thought.
Master Xuanling must be able to see the surrounding environment clearly.
It's not like he is blind because of his lack of spiritual cultivation.
clack, clack, clack...
In the hazy darkness, only the sound of slowly walking footsteps around one after another may give time some meaning at this time.
At least it proves that Fangzheng has been moving forward.
The sound of these footsteps is like thousands of troops marching.
Fang Zheng didn't need to look to know that the footsteps behind the hazy black fog all came from the dead people on Huangquan Road.
He and Master Xuanling must be walking in the tide of death right now.
Fangzheng has been closely following the real Xuanling in front of him, worried that he will get lost in the crowd of dead people if he is not careful. The devil knows that without the Japanese tour envoy, what will happen if he gets lost
However, looking at the real Xuanling whose back was blurred in the darkness and could only vaguely see the outline of a person's back, Fangzheng sometimes couldn't stop thinking in the darkness that he couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness, what if he got lost? Master Xuanling, is the real Xuanling in front of him a ghost of a dead person
So does it mean that the harder he works on the wrong path, the farther away he will be from success
Just as Fangzheng was thinking wildly for a while, in order to relieve the psychological pressure of staying in the dark for a long time, the two figures, one in front and one behind, continued to walk. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a change finally appeared in front of him.
There seemed to be a city in front of him.
Because Fangzheng saw the blurred outline of the city in the darkness.
clack, clack...
After entering the city, the sound of footsteps all around still did not stop, and continued to reach Fangzheng's ears.
Even, because the city road squeezes the walkable space, the dead crowd the dead, and there are more shadowy figures around.
Jinda Road.
Maocheng Road.
Although the eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of black fog and the visibility was very low, they could still barely see clearly at close range. Walking on the city streets with Master Xuanling, Fangzheng's eyes moved as he looked at the two road signs passing by.
As if thinking.
After thinking for a few seconds, Fangzheng showed a surprised expression.
This road... seems to be the name of the street near Zhang Zuoren's house.
Because Fangzheng had been to Zhang Zuoren's house, he was very impressed with this.
etc!
Doesn't that mean that the city in front of me is actually Yun City? Me and Zhenren are walking in the city of Yunshi now
Fangzheng couldn't help asking Reverend Xuanling: "Reverend, is this Yunshi?"
Master Xuanling, who had been walking in front, had a blurry back, and made a subtle nod in the darkness, and Fangzheng's gentle humming sound from Master Xuanling sounded in Fang Zheng's mind.
Fangzheng breathed a sigh of relief after getting the response from Master Xuanling.
Fortunately, he followed the wrong person.
If you really followed the wrong person in the dark, or followed a dead person by mistake, you might have to bite the copper coin in your mouth, and then your soul will return, and your soul will return to the external reality.
When Fangzheng got the confirmation from Daoist Xuanling, Fangzheng looked at the outline of the huge city in front of him, and the first thought in his mind was, did they unknowingly go ashore again in the dark and appear in Yunshi
But Fangzheng quickly rejected his idea.
First of all, the sound of footsteps all over the city and the shadows of dead people do not make sense.
Then there is only one possibility, this city is Yunshi on Huangquan Road
Fangzheng suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Really, is there several layers of Yin? The first layer is the world of gray mist? The second layer is Huangquan Road? Whether it is the first layer or the second layer, they are all in the same geographical location as the outside world, with the city of Zhou. , there is Yun City, but the biggest difference is that the first floor is an empty city? And Huangquan Road is full of dead people?"
Fangzheng couldn't wait to express his thoughts to Master Xuanling.
"It's a bit complicated to explain, and it involves too many myths and causes and effects. You can simply understand it as parallel spaces that don't interfere with each other, but your understanding is no problem."
"Could it be that the spiritual world of the dead also has eighteen layers?" Fang Zheng was secretly stunned.
Just when Fangzheng was about to ask, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps approaching beside him, and a shadowy figure approached Fangzheng.
This was the first dead person that Fangzheng met who was closest to him along the way and almost hit him.
Fangzheng heard footsteps approaching, and subconsciously got out of the way so as not to collide with the dead man.
But Fangzheng also saw the appearance of the dead man clearly.
Both eyes are empty, lifeless, and the expression on his face is numb, like a walking corpse without consciousness, aimlessly following the tide of dead people, drifting with the flow.
This is a very young office worker.
Wearing a gray plaid shirt, wearing ordinary sneakers worth a hundred yuan, and carrying a slightly old laptop bag, at a young age, in his twenties, he already has signs of hair loss on his forehead .
Plaid shirt, hair loss at a young age...Programmer
I don't know why this programmer died so early...
It's a pity that the good old days...
Fangzheng has read a lot of news, saying that people are now in sub-healthy body, staying up late every day to work overtime, eating takeaway food irregularly every day, and the number of people who die suddenly every year is getting younger and younger.
Da da da…
This time, it was the sound of stepping on high heels, tapping on the hard concrete road, walking past Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng saw that it was a middle-aged housewife wearing a lily-colored summer dress and carrying several bags of fruits and vegetables.
On the next journey, there are old people, children, men, women... passing by.
Some of these people are wearing short-sleeved clothes, some are wearing down jackets, and some are wearing sweaters...they correspond to different seasons of death.
More and more people began to walk past Fangzheng. Because the city roads are narrow and there are too many ghosts, the probability of these ghosts passing Fangzheng began to increase.
Among these people are modern urban men and women, and there are also those who wear the unique blue overalls of the last century, but most of them still wear modern clothes after the millennium.
Are these dead people who all died in Yun City
"Really, is the spiritual world of the dead really divided into eighteen levels? Are these ghosts real ghosts? Could it be that after a person dies, ghosts will be trapped in the spiritual world of the dead forever? But this seems a little unreasonable... "Fang Zheng asked the doubts that had always existed in his heart.
"Do you still remember what walking in the dark is?" Daoist Xuanling, who had been walking ahead, finally paused slightly, waiting for Fangzheng to catch up before continuing on the road.
"The living have psychiatrists, and psychiatrists can enter the spiritual world of the living, and the dead also have psychiatrists for the dead. When we go out of the shadows, we enter the spiritual world of the dead."
"These ghosts cannot be regarded as real ghosts. It is because the resentment and obsession of people who died abnormally are stronger than those of people who died normally, so the resentment and obsession continue to linger in the spiritual world after death."
"A simple understanding is that you can regard the dead people you see as the result of their resentment or obsession after death, which lingers forever."
"That's why I have been wandering in the ghost road, I can't get out of Huangquan Road, I can't get out of the spiritual world of the dead. Only those who are truly liberated can go out of Huangquan Road and the spiritual world of the dead, and they won't appear in the shadows."
