Taboo Master

Chapter 284
In the gray sky, there are red clouds hanging, as if blood is floating.

The sky is full of yellow sand, and the ancient road is desolate.

In the desolate mist, a dilapidated old house stood alone beside the desolate ancient road.

A person was standing in front of the old house in a daze for no reason. Suddenly, a white-haired old woman appeared in front of her, holding a bowl of bright red liquid in her hand, staring at him with a strange smile.
"Are you thirsty? The journey is far away, come and drink this bowl of tea, you will forget a lot of troubles"

The man drank the tea, his gaze became dull, and he gradually lost consciousness. He turned around and staggered towards the ancient road in front of him. The place was misty and there were three words written on a tall stele beside the road: Huangquan Road... …

Huangquan Inn is the only inn on the long Huangquan Road. All the ghosts passing by here will stop for a short time, drink a bowl of ecstasy soup, forget their nature, and continue on the road.

But for tens of thousands of years, there have been many ghosts passing by, but none of them can stay for a long time. The old woman in the inn is very lonely, so every year in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, this Huangquan Inn will appear in the wilderness inaccessible. People, stay with the old lady as companions, unable to be reincarnated until the next destined person appears...

This is the story of grandpa, the story about Huangquan Inn.

I used to just think that this was just a story made up by my grandfather, but at this moment, I came to this nether world by accident, and actually encountered the Huangquan Inn. , I am likely to be the predestined person passing by, and I will stay forever, unable to reincarnate, and unable to return to the human world.

However, there is a difference between stories and reality after all. In this real Huangquan Inn, I didn’t see any old women, and it’s not the seventh month of the lunar calendar. Here, there is only one uncle I just met a few days ago. and a cabin.

So, what is his purpose for asking me to stay?
Time passed unknowingly, I stayed in the same place, I didn't know how long I thought about it, and then I came back to my senses, looking at this eerie and mysterious world, a thought of wanting to escape came to my mind, yes, I must not I can't stay here for a second, I want to leave immediately and return to my world immediately!
However, just as I was about to get up and leave, a weird laugh suddenly sounded behind me. My heart twitched violently, and I hurriedly turned around. There was actually an old woman with white hair and chicken skin standing behind her, holding a bowl in her hand. Staring at me with a weird smile
"Are you thirsty? The journey is far away, come and drink this bowl of tea, you will forget a lot of troubles"

I couldn't help but gasped, I actually met an old lady, even the lines were the same as in the story!
My heart trembled, I took two steps back, and subconsciously glanced at the bowl of tea.
Fortunately, it's not bright red. Although the dark brown tea water is a bit cloudy, there are still some tea leaves floating in it.

"Thank you...thank you, I don't need it."

Even if it was real tea, I wouldn't dare to drink it. While waving my hands indiscriminately, I backed away again and again, only thinking of running away.

The old lady stood there, squinting her eyes slightly, and sighed: "Oh, my place is a bit out of the way, and the tea tastes a bit bitter, but it's the only place on this road where you can drink water, and here It’s a small road, many people can’t get here at all, child, you are destined, if you don’t drink a bowl, it’s a pity.”

My heart moved, isn't this the only way to go?So, who is this old lady?

Hmph, predestined person, don't fool me, I won't be fooled by you...

I tentatively asked: "Grandma, have you been here for a long time? May I ask your surname..."

The old woman didn't answer my second question, she just nodded kindly and said: "Yes, yes, the old woman has been here all her life, and she is usually bored, so she just relies on you lucky passers-by to relieve her boredom."

As she spoke, she looked at me with a smile, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was smiling.

"Come on, kid, drink this bowl of tea, and you will forget your troubles forever..."

I took two steps back again, looked at her vigilantly and said, "Are you the legendary Meng Po? Is this ecstasy soup?"

The old woman was stunned for a moment, but then she laughed fiercely: "Child, how could this be ecstasy soup? It's just Wangyou tea made from the water of the Wuyou River. I'm not that Meng Po. You can call me My mother-in-law..."

Luang Phor?I subconsciously thought of the dragon mother-in-law in a Hong Kong horror movie, let alone, this eerie look is really similar, but Wangyou tea?I bother……

"I'm sorry, Grandma Long, I don't have any worries or worries to forget. I've been living a happy life. I'm leaving. You should keep this tea for yourself. Bye..."

After I finished speaking, I ran away, and the fool stayed to drink your tea. The dragon mother-in-law didn't chase me, and let out a strange smile behind me. I didn't even dare to turn my head. About ten meters away, a person suddenly appeared in the fog in front of me. Before I had time to stop, I bumped into it.

This person is the uncle just now, he has changed his face at this time, approached slowly with a sly smile, stared at me and said: "You have been spotted by Grandma Long, so don't even think about running away, just go drink it obediently!" Drink that bowl of tea, and then stay here, accompany Grandma Long here, and receive passing souls..."

I said in amazement: "What, what? Let me stay? Impossible! Who are you, why don't you stay?!"

A sad look suddenly appeared on his face, and he murmured: "I'm just a poor man. I came here to find someone who can stay for the dragon mother-in-law. Now, I have I found it, so you must stay!"

Hearing his words, there seems to be something hidden, but it has nothing to do with me, I clenched my fist, took a step back again, and said loudly: "I don't care what you do, anyway, I'm not dead, I can't stay, you Doing this is a sin, and sooner or later it will be retribution on your daughter!"

After finishing speaking, I took advantage of his moment of stupefaction, turned around and ran, and behind me came the shrill voice of the dragon mother-in-law: "Grab him..."

I looked back and saw that the old woman was shouting on the spot with her hair disheveled. The uncle heard her words, yelled, and immediately chased after her.

Damn, it's really unlucky to meet such two perverts. I gritted my teeth and ran as hard as I could without looking back. Although there was a road in the fog ahead, I knew it was Huangquan Road. Am I right? Will go forward, so I turned around and ran in the other direction.

The yelling of the old woman behind her was extremely shrill, and everyone who heard it was terrified. I really don't know why there is such a terrible old woman in the Netherworld. I remember all the legends. Is it from the inn?

However, this is not important anymore, I must immediately get rid of the guy chasing behind, and then find a way to go back, now I basically don't expect to find Nangong Feiyan here, because I suddenly discovered that this is simply a The conspiracy to frame me, Nangong Feiyan and Shao Peiyi, is simply impossible here.

This is called desperate running. On the open wilderness, there are mounds all over the ground. From a distance, they look like graves.

The more I ran, the more flustered I became. I tried my best to mobilize my mental strength and tried to communicate with Lan Ning, but it was ineffective. This world seemed to be completely cut off from the outside world. Let alone Lan Ning, I even tried to communicate with Lanning. The body can't feel it at all.

A silver-white ribbon suddenly appeared in front of me, looming in the mist. I paused subconsciously, and looked back, only to hear faint calls from the wind...

"Come back, come back..."

This voice seems to have a kind of soul-stirring power, and people can't help but want to stop and obey the call of the voice, but it doesn't have a great effect on me. I don't care to think about why, and turn around again , continue to run forward.

Through the layers of fog, there was the sound of water flowing in front of me, and the scenery gradually became clear. I was looking intently, trying to figure out where it was, when suddenly there was nothing under my feet, and I fell down immediately.

I was startled, but fortunately it was only a gentle slope. I rolled a few times on the slope and fell down. Turning over and getting up to see it, I was immediately stunned.

In front of him was a field of red and white flowers, the red ones were alluring like fire, the white ones were as pure as snow, and in front of the flowers, there appeared a long silver river.

This, what is this place?
I suddenly remembered the worry-free river that the LP said just now, and then looked at the red and white blooming flowers on the riverside, and a thought flashed out, worry-free river, worry-free river, could this be the river of forgetfulness in the underworld? Bar?Could this flower be the other shore flower?

I was in a daze when a person suddenly stood up among the flowers next to me and shouted, "Who is it?"

Someone was ambushing here, I shivered subconsciously, turned around and was about to run, but after this person took a look, he suddenly let out a "huh", and said in a surprised voice, "Why is it you?"

Now I am almost like a frightened bird. When I saw someone, I wanted to run away immediately, but after hearing what he said, when I looked back, I was also immediately stunned.

This person was wearing a black dress, not tall, with short hair, and a very immature face. He was actually a young boy, and he was an acquaintance.

It was the errand apprentice that Yang Chen took us to find, the young Ah Jiu.
