Taboo Master

Chapter 283 Huangquan Inn
I looked at him carefully, and saw that this middle-aged uncle was dressed in black, with a haggard appearance, disheveled hair, and a pale face. Although there was no expression on his face, the way he looked at me seemed strange.

The middle-aged uncle didn't care so much, he took out two dark red fruits like mountain grapes from his body, twisted one off with his hand, put it gently on his mouth, squinted his eyes slightly, and sucked it hard, the dark red fruit The red fruit melted like a puff of red smoke and poured into his mouth in an instant. Gradually, a comfortable expression like smoking a big cigarette appeared on his face.

"Young man, I'll give you one too. After eating this, you will be more energetic. Don't be downcast. Isn't it just death? Who in this world won't die? What a big deal."

As he said that, he raised his hand and threw me a red fruit. I opened my mouth in surprise, but before I could react, I felt the fruit was falling on my mouth. I was startled, and the fruit swished Suddenly, it turned into a burst of icy cold air and got into my mouth. Immediately, an extremely cold breath fell down my throat and fell into my stomach. An indescribable sense of comfort.

"What the hell is this? It's like drinking Sprite." I muttered.

"Sprite? Hehe..." He looked at me and said, "This is called Qingming fruit, and it is a rare good thing. You are lucky if you can eat one... By the way, how did you die? ?”

He seemed to ask casually, but when he mentioned the word dead, my heart trembled, I sighed heavily, and murmured: "I don't even know how the hell I died, suicide? Homicide? Accident? Well, it should be an accident, it is too unexpected."

He squinted his eyes and nodded, and said, "That's not important, as long as it's not suicide, well, don't think too much about it, just stay here obediently for seven days, and you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Seven days? What do you mean, can I go back after seven days?" I asked in surprise.

"Go back? Are you dreaming? Don't you know that a person is a real ghost after seven days of death? During these seven days, it can be said to be your transition period. After seven days, you will get used to it, or in other words, you will get used to it." It's dead."

He spoke in a calm tone, as if he was casually telling a story, but when I heard this, I immediately became terrified again, with a depressed face, and silently bowed my head.

He suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, it's good fortune for you to meet me here. If you are destined, you can stay here for seven days, and then I will send you away. This is not a place for you to stay for a long time."

"Send me away? Where are you taking me?" I asked again, his eyes showed a slight coldness, he turned to look at me, and said coldly, "Huangquan Road."

"Then, can you tell me, what is this place, and who are you?" I still couldn't help asking loudly, because I still think this person looks familiar, I can swear, I must have seen him .

He paused, stared straight at me, said nothing for a while, then finally turned around and walked out.

I looked gloomy, but I heard his voice coming in from outside.

"Here is the legendary Huangquan Inn."

His voice gradually faded away, and I hurriedly chased him out, but as soon as I ran to the door, I saw his figure slowly disappearing into the faint mist in front of him, and he was no longer seen.

Huangquan Inn, I murmured a sentence silently in my heart, my brows were already twisted into a big pimple, but suddenly I remembered something, I hurriedly looked up and saw a desolate dirt road ahead, with wilderness and mounds on both sides, the sky was still low Hanging, covered with dark clouds.

This scene is so familiar!
I hurriedly looked back, and saw the small wooden house behind me, standing alone in the wilderness, with a red lantern hanging at the door, although there was no wind around, the lantern was swaying slightly, looking eerie and weird.

This……

I suddenly remembered, on the night when I first met the cat slave, I was covered in blood, and then I met the ferryman from Huangquan, took his car home, and there was a middle-aged uncle sitting in the car Well, the ferryman from Huangquan first sent him to a weird place before sending me back...

By the way, aren't all the scenes here, including this hut, the exact place they visited that day? !
I was horrified, so I quickly opened my eyes wide and looked carefully, and I saw that there was indeed a black plaque hanging on the hut, with four dim characters on it, which read exactly: Huangquan Inn.

So it turns out that this place is also connected to the human world. If this is the case, does it mean that I can find the ferryman from Huangquan and ask him to come here to pick me up?

There was a burst of excitement in my heart, and I shouted desperately: "Uncle, uncle, I remembered, the ferryman from Huangquan, Conan, uncle..."

However, I jumped and shouted for a long time, but there was not even an echo in the wilderness, let alone a response. I suppressed this uncontrollable mood, and tried my best to recall the mysterious symbol that summoned the ferryman from the underworld in my mind. Started to draw on the ground.

It's just that I had never succeeded in this mysterious symbol before. At this time, I was emotional and the drawing was messy. After drawing for a long time, I didn't feel the slightest reaction, and it was still a failure.

Of course, this time I can never give up and be discouraged. Now I feel deeply that the biggest reason for anyone's failure is not enough persistence. If I could have persisted a little longer, I might have mastered this a long time ago. How can the method of symbols be so laborious?

I was making up my mind to continue the experiment, when a cold voice suddenly sounded beside me: "What's your name?"

"My name is Han Qingtian..." I replied subconsciously, but then I was stunned. Immediately I looked up, and saw that uncle just now was standing beside him, with his hands behind his back, looking at me expressionlessly.

"What I'm talking about is, what are you calling here, not asking your name..." He added with a serious face when he saw me looking up at him.

I was so happy, I came to this ghost place for a long time, and I finally felt a little better. I got up and smiled at him: "Uncle, we met before, you won't forget, right? To tell you the truth, I don't It’s not that I’m dead, but somehow, my soul has come to this place. I think since I’m not dead, I should find a way to go back. I would like to ask you to help me, and summon the ferryman from Huangquan to come here to pick me up. Very familiar, look..."

The more I spoke, the lower my voice became. This uncle kept staring at me half-deadly, as if he had seen a ghost. I simply closed my mouth, and he said in a dark voice: "Since you are here, don't worry. I will help you with this matter, but you have to wait a bit, you know, this place of mine doesn’t come as soon as you say it, and you can go as soon as you say it.”

"Then... how long do I have to wait? I still have a lot of people to do outside..." I hurriedly asked, he looked up at the sky, and said two words: "Three days."

"Three days? It's too long, I'm afraid, people outside will mistakenly think that I'm really dead, three days, if I'm cremated again, then I'll be homeless..."

He glanced at me again, but with a strange smile on his face, he said, "If you hadn't eaten that fruit, it might be easier to go back, but now, you have to wait for three days."

"Why? What exactly is that fruit?" I asked in amazement, but he didn't answer me directly, but said something that made my hair stand on end.

"That's a good thing, a good thing that only ghosts can eat, but now, you have to wait for three days before you can go back, otherwise, your physical body will really die, so you can only listen to me, you can't go anywhere Go, stay here, and wait for me to come back."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left again, this time, he never looked back.

I stared blankly into the distance, watched him gradually disappear, and suddenly fell to the ground, my heart sank gradually.

How could this be?Could it be that I really can only sit here and wait for three days?
I fell into deep thought, holding my head tightly with both hands, and countless thoughts flashed through my mind one by one.

No, no, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Although this uncle doesn't look like a bad guy, he gives me a weird feeling. Especially, I don't even know where this Huangquan Inn is. Stay here, I don't know what will happen next.

For three days, instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to find a way by yourself.

Besides, I can't guarantee what earth-shaking changes will happen in the three days in the world. If I go out by then, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Huangquan Inn, Huangquan Inn... I murmured it several times, and suddenly my whole body trembled. A story my grandfather once told when I was a child came to my mind.

No, I must get out of here immediately!
