What he meant was… in other words, at this fork in the road, I started arguing with Su Xiaoniu about whether to go left or right, and based on what I said after my death, I didn't listen to Su Xiaoniu and chose to go left, and then I died. So, if I didn't want to die, I had to go right!
I took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Go to the right!"
Su Xiaoniu snorted, "You're so obedient!"
"Oh? Go right, huh?" The dead me saw me take the right fork and smiled mysteriously, "It seems that having someone's guidance is much better than acting impulsively on your own. At least... I have to listen to what the girl says."
We entered the right fork, and to my surprise, the ground here was winding and uneven, with a huge gap in the middle, like a bottomless abyss looming before me. I had no idea how deep this abyss was, but I couldn't see the bottom. Falling in would definitely kill me. Furthermore, the walls on both sides were extremely slippery and difficult to grasp. I had no idea how to get around it and reach the end of the passage.
In an instant, I felt like I was deceived by both Su Xiaonu and my dead self.
Then I heard my dead self laugh, "Don't blame the girl, she's doing this for your own good. Let me tell you, although the left passage is easier to navigate, it's full of zombies and ghosts. I know you're not afraid of them, but there's an irresistible aura of enchantment. If you inhale too much, you'll have hallucinations, and the consequences will be disastrous."
I was stunned. "Did you die from hallucinations caused by inhaling too much of that bewitching aura?"
After I died, I shook my head and said, "Not really... I didn't die that easily. The Sanqing Bell could have quickly neutralized it. If I really died there, I would know how I died. But the thing is, I don't know how I died... I only know that the left fork looks easier to take than the right, but it's far more dangerous. So, it's right to listen to the girl."
He didn't even know how he died? This... is a bit weird!
In other words, the path I’m taking now is completely different from the one I should have taken!
I trembled as I skirted the edge of the abyss, clutching the smooth wall behind me as I trudged through. With every step, a few stones fell from my feet. After falling into the abyss, there was no sound at all, as if I had been swallowed up directly. I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to look down.
A tall, slippery rock wall appeared ahead, blocking the path. The only way to get over it was to climb up. I saw my dead self floating up, and soon I was at the top of the rock wall. He looked down at me and said, "Come up."
I rolled my eyes, suddenly envying myself after death. Even as a ghost, I was so cool and handsome! Then Su Xiaonu slammed my head against the wall and said angrily, "Do you want to die so badly? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
This... maybe that's not necessary! I covered my forehead, looking up at the stone wall that was more than ten meters high. Suddenly, I thought of a way to get up. I took out yellow paper, slapped it on the stone wall, and silently chanted a spell. A small stone quickly grew on the stone wall. I stepped on it, and then slapped yellow paper on the stone wall on the other side, chanted a spell, and a small stone also grew. I stepped on it with my other foot.
Following this exact procedure, I finally reached the top of the rock wall. Seeing this in my death, I laughed and said, "You're quite the thinker, controlling the incantation of earth flow rock to create small rocks on this rock wall."
I chuckled.
After bypassing the rock wall, the front suddenly opened up, accompanied by a crashing sound. A vast torrent appeared ahead, surging and churning. I almost thought this wasn't a sewer, but a waterfall! Furthermore, wandering ghosts drifted above the torrent, while several black and purple zombies danced below.
The group of ghosts and zombies had already discovered me when I jumped down from the stone wall. At this moment, they suddenly let out strange screams and pounced on me.
