Chapter 117 Borrowing Road



The road illuminated in front of the car window seemed to have no end. The buildings on both sides were gloomy, with dim yellow or orange-red lights on, and the atmosphere was weird.

There was no pedestrian or car on the street, it was very quiet.

Only the "Yin Yang Road" displayed on the navigation makes people feel uneasy.

"Where is this? Is there such a road in Jiangcheng?"

He Youwu couldn't help but slow down the car so that he could see the surrounding scenery more clearly. There seemed to be human figures floating in the occasional lights in the buildings, but most of the time it was still dark.

The traffic lights were all yellow and there appeared to be some water on the road, but they did not stop to check.

When the two policemen were concentrating on looking ahead, a woman's singing suddenly rang from Lu Ban's cell phone.

"Grass!"

He Youwu hurriedly stepped on the brakes and looked back before the car stopped.

Lu Ban was playing songs on his mobile phone and didn't seem nervous.

"What are you doing? You're scaring me to death!"

He Youwu cursed.

"I think the atmosphere is pretty good, so let's add some background music."

Lu Ban paused the song on his phone.

"Don't be so nervous. Sometimes people scare themselves."

"Shall we get off the car and take a look?"

Chen Danshen looked at the rearview mirror, but it was foggy and he couldn't see anything.

"I think it's better for us not to get off the bus."

Lu Ban spoke up to stop Chen Danshen who was about to open the door.

"But if we continue to drive forward, it seems there is no way out?"

Chen Danshen didn't understand.

"Did we take the wrong road or is there something wrong with the navigation? I don't think this is the street in Jiangcheng."

"yes."

He Youwu's hands were covered in sweat as he gripped the steering wheel. He picked up the navigation phone and found that the signal was cut off and there was no network, but the navigation showed that it was in normal use. However, no matter how he zoomed in on the map, he could only see one road with the name "Yin Yang Road" displayed on it.

There was dead silence all around. Even the noisy chirping of insects could no longer be heard. The night wind blowing through the window actually made people feel a little chilly.

He Youwu looked at the green belt next to him. The trees there were strangely shaped and crooked, as if they had been pulled by something.

He suddenly felt as if something was floating past him.

Turning around, He Youwu saw Chen Danshen's serious face, and behind Chen Danshen, under the crooked tree, there seemed to be a person standing.

“Yes, someone!”

His scalp tingled, He Youwu shouted hurriedly, Chen Danshen turned around but saw nothing.

"Are you sure you saw anyone?"

Chen Danshen carefully looked outside the window and asked at the same time.

"Really? There was a man standing under the tree just now. Over there."

He Youwu pointed to the tree.

"Hush."

Lu Ban suddenly put his fingers in front of his mouth, trying to keep quiet.

"Pull the car to the side of the road."

He instructed.

He Youwu hurriedly started the car and slowly drove to the side of the road.

The shadows of the trees were swaying, and the night sky was pitch black without the moon or stars. Only the lights in the buildings illuminated the road.

At this time, Chen Danshen discovered that the lights in those buildings had turned into a dim green color at some point.

Gusts of cold wind blew in through the window, making people feel cold.

"Close the window."

Lu Ban instructed.

He Youwu closed all the car windows and felt a little warmer.

“What on earth is…”

"Look ahead."

Lu Ban pointed to the front and side.

He Youwu looked over.

Before he saw anything, he first heard a burst of faint voices.

Or rather, the sound of chanting.

Those people were muttering something in a language he could not understand, like prayers in front of Buddha, or like the mumbling at a funeral.

A leaf was blown in from the front and stuck to the car window.

He Youwu took a closer look and found that these were not leaves at all, but paper money!

Rough, dark yellow paper money with the imprint of copper coins!

In front, more paper money floated over, and for a moment, the sky was filled with these pieces of paper.

Chen Danshen felt uneasy. He stared straight ahead and saw a group of people slowly walking towards him at the end of the road.

Some of them were scattering paper money, while most of them were holding sticks and flags, walking forward woodenly like puppets. They all wore wide hats with long black cloth hanging down from them, covering their faces. They also wore coarse cloth gowns, and seemed like they did not belong to this era.

Behind these people, there were horse-drawn carriages one after another. The horses pulling the carriages looked haggard, with their eyes covered by black cloth. The carriages looked dilapidated, as if they had just experienced a thunderstorm. Only a lamp hanging above the carriage was flickering.

But the light that was on was green.

The green light was the same as the silent building next to it.

"The Yin soldiers are here to borrow my passage. Please don't speak. It's best if you can close your eyes."

Lu Ban reminded.

“What the hell…”

He Youwu complained, isn’t this just some superstitious saying, how could there really be ghosts in this world?

But Xin still asked him to close his eyes and cover his ears.

Chen Danshen glanced at Lu Ban and closed his eyes as well.

The two policemen only felt that the air in the car was getting colder and colder, so cold as if it was winter, so cold that it made their teeth chatter.

Even though he covered his ears, He Youwu, who was close to the side of the road, could still hear the crisp sound of horse hooves on the road and the friction sound of wheels rolling over.

His heart was pounding wildly and his whole body was tense.

Suddenly, He Youwu felt that all the voices had disappeared.

"it's over?"

Thinking in his mind, He Youwu secretly opened his eyes and glanced outside.

Only then did he see that the horse pulling the carriage was standing outside his window.

Next to the horse, there stood a man wearing a conical hat. He was much taller than the average person. He Youwu even felt that this guy was over two meters tall.

They just stood in the middle of the road, silently.

He Youwu's heart was in his throat. He saw that the horse with its eyes covered by a black cloth had rotten muscles, and there seemed to be maggots crawling inside. The palms of those standing people were black, as if they had been dead for a long time.

And those carriages were filled with densely packed heads with dull and terrified expressions!

At the moment when the sound was about to burst out from his throat, a hand reached out from the back of his head and covered He Youwu's mouth, startling him suddenly and swallowing the sound back.

The long-rotten horse seemed to have heard something. It lowered its head slightly and searched around with its empty eyes that were flickering with green light. It looked at He Youwu for a moment, but seemed not to have seen the car at all.

After waiting for a while, the team began to move forward again. He Youwu was extremely nervous and his heart was pounding, fearing that the team would stop again and come looking for him.

By the time the entire team had passed, He Youwu had no idea how much time had passed.

Lu Ban released the hand that was covering He Youwu's mouth, took out a tissue and wiped his palm carefully.

"It should be fine now. Just look straight ahead and you'll be able to leave after a while."

He pointed to the road ahead.
