Take your sister to catch a ghost

Chapter 167

"The bottom of the sea of ​​bitterness!" the scholar uttered these words.

I'm a little confused, are you kidding? This is, although I have never seen the sea of ​​suffering, but is that a place where people can go?

"Um... are you kidding me?" I said.

He didn't explain right away, picked up the writing brush on the table and fiddled with it in his hand, then put it down, turned behind me and patted my shoulder.

"You don't have to promise me right away, there's still time."

"Why do you say that only I can go down to the bottom of the sea?" I asked him.

He grunted, "Because you don't belong to this world!"

I gave him a questioning look, and he said, "I'm just guessing. I'll tell you the details in a few days."

I groaned, and he sat down on the edge of the table, put away the stack of papers on the table, and put the brush into the tattered clothes.

"There may be a big storm blowing here. If you two don't have anything important to do, it's better to leave here as soon as possible." He put away the brush and said.

As soon as he finished his sentence, there was a sound of iron chains outside. I looked outside and saw two ghost soldiers walking towards the house. It looked like they were here to arrest people.

"They are here to look for you." Seeing that the scholar didn't respond, I reminded him and told him to run away quickly.

The scholar was distracted just now, and he woke up from his own world when he felt that I was talking. He glanced at the two ghost soldiers who walked in from outside, then got up and walked out.

Without saying anything, the ghost pawn turned a corner and walked towards other places when he reached the door.

"Where are they going?" I asked.

The scholar shrugged: "There are ghosts everywhere here, I'm afraid they have to go to other places to take people away."

After not staying in this room for long, the scholar said that he would take us out for a stroll. He is much more familiar with this place than we are.

First, I walked a road that I hadn't walked before. After a while, I heard the sound of turbulent waves crashing on the shore. I was overjoyed. Could this be the sound of the sea of ​​suffering?
The scholar saw my expression, pointed to a forest in front of him and said, "The forest in front is on the edge of the cliff, and below the cliff is the sea of ​​bitterness."

I have heard people talk about the sea of ​​bitterness quite a few times in Yangjian, and this is the first time I am so close to it, I feel a little excited.

It is difficult for people to walk through the dense forest, but under the leadership of this scholar, we bypassed the bamboo forest and finally stood on the edge of the cliff he mentioned.

This cliff is hundreds of meters high, without any inclination, almost upright, the rock on the cliff is dark red, and there is not even a single weed on it.

The wind from the Sea of ​​Bitterness blew over, making the skirts of the three of us dance.

I smelled the wind blowing from the sea of ​​bitterness, and my nose felt a little uncomfortable. It was a very strange smell, not a bad smell, but after entering my mouth and nose, it was more unpleasant than the bad smell.

He looked down at the bottom of the cliff. Although it was high, there were no clouds and fog to block his view, so he had a panoramic view of the sea of ​​bitterness.

Boundless, not like the sea seen in Yangjian. The edge of this sea is not an arc, but a straight line. The sea is not calm. Even standing so high, I can still feel the majestic sound of waves hitting the shore .

I thought it smelled bad here, but the scholar closed his eyes and sucked it up greedily. After taking a few puffs, he turned his head and asked me, "This is the sea of ​​bitterness...what do you think?"

In my impression, this sea of ​​bitterness should be emerald green, with countless humans running on the beach, there should be small islands covered with coconut trees within sight, the sea breeze is warm, and the sea smells salty, definitely not Such a view now.

The sea water is red, too much red is superimposed, the sea surface has turned from red to a familiar color, there is no beach, it is all cliffs, the only thing that stands out is the road suspended above the sea that the scholar said.

"How is it?" The scholar asked me again.

I groaned for a while, but didn't make a sound for a while.

"It's so sad." Zhang Xiaoxiao seemed to be very enlightened, looking at the deep red sea, her eyes were watery.

"It seems that you are someone who understands the sea." The scholar nodded, "The underworld is full of people who say what they say, and everyone knows this sea of ​​suffering, but I have never seen a single person shed tears for it."

It's like he's talking bible, I don't know what it means at all.Looking at Zhang Xiaoxiao, she seemed to understand what the scholar was talking about, and the tears in her eyes became more obvious.

I shook my head and found a place to sit down, with my feet hanging high above the sea of ​​bitterness.

"Dead Sea!" The atmosphere between the two of them was a bit strange, and I interrupted them by saying something casually.

The scholar saw me sitting down, so he sat down too, but Zhang Xiaoxiao was still standing, staring at the sea, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That's right, there's no life in this sea, not just this sea..." He pulled up a sickly weed beside him and handed it to me, "Even the vegetation on this shore is superficial, it's unbearable A little ruined."

The root of this grass has turned red, and it broke off with a light touch, just like a pile of rot.

"Anything with a soul can't touch the water of this sea of ​​bitterness, otherwise it will rot like this grass and tree, and there will be no reason to survive." To prevent ghosts from coming here, but the people of the world believe in the theory of the other shore at the end of the sea of ​​bitterness, and this sea of ​​bitterness hurts people, but it has no deterrent effect on them."

I stared at the scholar a few times, what I said now is not like his previous style.

"Take you to another place." The scholar got up and went back the same way.

We stopped when we got to the stone carved with weeds, and then led us straight there.

From the point of view just now, this road is suspended, and below is a sea of ​​suffering.

There is still a long way to go here, and I am curious why this road will not collapse.

At the end of the road, the front was locked by countless iron chains. The iron chains shone with a faint cold light, and they dared not go forward just looking at them.

Standing here looking at the red sea, my emotions seem to have changed a lot. It is completely different from just now. This feeling is hard to express. After staring at it for a while, I touched the corners of my eyes, and it turned out to be a little moist.

I actually cried, it should be the sea breeze.I put all the blame on Haifeng.

The scholar stood beside us for a while, then turned around and said, "I will accompany you two here. I have to leave first. If you have something to do, you can find me at the top of the village. I will stay there. "

The scholar walked for a while, as if he had forgotten something, he came back, took out the brush from his pocket and handed it to me: "It is fate to meet a vast sea of ​​people, and a poor scholar has nothing to give away." Sir, this brush is the only one that is considered elegant, so please don't dislike it, Mr. Wang."

I took a look at the brush and saw nothing unusual, so I accepted it and said thank you.

Without saying goodbye, this man left alone. When we first met, he was not so withdrawn and melancholy.

I fiddled with this writing brush, the quality is good, it is the best for drawing talismans, but at least it is a gift from others, so naturally it should be cherished, and the talismans will not tarnish it.

Putting away the writing brush, imitating the scholar's previous appearance, here he took a few breaths of the smell from the sea, but was choked and coughed violently.

Zhang Xiaoxiao saw her at the side and covered her mouth and laughed.

Embarrassed, I imitated the scholar and shook my sleeves: "There are many ghosts here, and they are all people with dirty minds. You should leave as soon as possible."

Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled again and followed behind me.

"The things I said in that room earlier..." Zhang Xiaoxiao said weakly.

I coughed twice, but was speechless.

When she saw me coughing dryly, her voice suddenly increased a lot, but it was full of shyness: "Can you promise me?"

I looked back at her: "Promise what?"

"Be my boyfriend!" This time she was not shy and said it very generously.

When she said this, I was choked by the sea breeze again, and I coughed violently. After recovering a bit, I looked at her expectant face and said, "Uh...we only met for such a short time, we can't develop so fast Bar……"

As soon as I finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoxiao's face was filled with all kinds of grievances: "When I was in the world, I never met a man who treated me like you. Just treat me as a small wish, okay?"
