There was some trouble in the ghost prison, which caused them to meet the ghost catcher Li Wei. It happened that Zhong Kui was the other party's 'old leader' and his influence was still there, otherwise it would not have been so easy.
"Lin Mo, don't be impulsive here. You have to know that Lao Cui is not the strongest here. There are more terrifying beings above the Judge."
"Yama?"
Lin Mo asked.
Zhong Kui said nothing, and it was unclear whether he was agreeing or denying it.
As we walked, we arrived in front of a patch of gray fog.
Zhong Kui told Lin Mo that this fog was not simple. The underworld was so vast, stretching for thousands of miles and reaching into the nine underworlds. However, this gray fog could shrink the ground into an inch and could quickly travel through various places.
However, you have to be familiar with the route, otherwise it is easy to get lost, and you may even encounter danger if you rush around.
At this time, Lin Mo noticed that there was a large group of ghost soldiers guarding the front, and it seemed that something was wrong.
Zhong Kui went over to ask, then walked back with a grim look on his face.
"We can't leave the fog corridor. Lao Cui has ordered the fog corridor to be sealed off. It looks like something really big has happened."
Lin Mo took a look and said that Old Cui was very powerful. The judge was so good, why did Zhong Kui quit in the first place?
"It's a long story. Old Wei, Old Lu, and I were all taken down. That's all. This has nothing to do with you, and now is not the time to talk about it. As for sealing off the fog corridor, Old Cui doesn't have the power to do so. He must have obtained the consent of the King of Hell, otherwise he, a judge alone, cannot do it."
Lin Mo asked what to do next.
Without the fog corridor, can we get in?
"You can get in without the fog corridor, but it's much more troublesome. You have to take the Ghost Road Bridge."
Zhong Kui explained it to Lin Mo.
It is said that a long time ago, there was no such thing as a fog corridor in the underworld. At that time, if you wanted to walk, you had to walk on the ghost road official bridge.
Simply put, there are two routes.
One is a terrifying ghost road where one could risk life or death if walking on it; the other is a relatively safe official bridge.
"Under the current circumstances, if we want to go in, I can take the official bridge, but you can only take the ghost path." Zhong Kui sighed. Obviously, the ghost path was not easy to walk on.
Because the official bridge must be guarded by someone, you can't get in by sneaking in.
“How about I accompany you on the ghost path?” Zhong Kui thought for a while and said.
Lin Mo waved his hand.
Just ask which is faster, taking the ghost road or the official bridge.
"Of course Guanqiao is faster." Zhong Kui said.
"Then Brother Zhong Kui, you should take the Guanqiao Bridge and get in earlier so that the problem can be solved earlier. Please protect my sister and don't let anything happen to her."
Lin Mo gave instructions.
He wanted Zhong Kui to go in and rescue people quickly. If he really followed him and walked the ghost path, then all his efforts would be wasted.
"Or, you stay outside and wait for my news, and don't go in." Zhong Kui thought of a compromise.
Lin Mo shook his head.
Say no.
"Brother Zhong Kui, if you fail, I can go in and help you. If I'm outside, I'll just be anxious. I'm better off being here now. Even if it's a saturation rescue, it's better if I'm not there in the end. It's better than not being there when I'm needed."
Zhong Kui nodded repeatedly after hearing what Lin Mo said.
I just want to say that you are a very thoughtful young man, which is good and has a promising future. I am optimistic about you.
I won’t say more.
Zhong Kui explained the situation of the ghost world to Lin Mo in detail.
"For an ordinary ghost, it takes at least three to five days to get away. But you're different. If you're normal, one day is enough."
Lin Mo wrote down all the specific details, and then told Zhong Kui what to say if he met Yue Jie. Then they separated, one took the official bridge and the other took the ghost path.
The ghost path is the path that ghosts take.
It feels like in ancient times, when people in the mountains wanted to get out, there was no road, so they could only climb mountains and wade through water, entering dangerous situations.
Later, building bridges and roads became much easier.
But the current situation is that the repaired bridge and paved road are closed to traffic.
So you can only enter through the original mountain road.
Zhong Kui said that the ghost path was dangerous, and Lin Mo felt it from the moment he entered the ghost path.
The first section of the journey is down the mountain.
It's not going down the mountain in the ordinary sense. The ordinary way of going down the mountain is to walk down the mountain road. Even if the mountain road is rugged, at least there is a way.
But now there is no way down the mountain.
It’s not that there isn’t any way. There is a cliff in front and you can climb down along the cliff.
Yes, the kind that extreme athletes climb.
Anyone who understands it knows that this kind of road that requires careful climbing is easy to climb up but difficult to climb down.
And it’s not difficult at all.
If you are not careful, you will fall down. There is no bottom in the water below. If you really fall down, it will be a hundred or a thousand times more miserable than death.
There is no other choice now but to climb down.
Fortunately, Lin Mo, Xiaoyu and Guiying were there with him. With everyone working together, Lin Mo was now crawling steadily like a big spider.
Obviously, the ghost path had been abandoned long ago, and there were no ghost prisoners walking on it at the moment, so Lin Mo climbed down alone.
Halfway up the climb, we found some strange trees growing on the cliffs.
There are also some ghost prisoners hanging on these strange trees.
But it had already become like a mummy. When Lin Mo passed by one, the mummy-like corpse suddenly reached out and grabbed him.
But the distance was not enough, about a palm's distance away.
Lin Mo didn't hide, just watched.
The mummy couldn't catch Lin Mo and let out a painful wail.
Only then did Lin Mo see clearly that the cliff tree was very strange. There were several mummies entangled around it, a bit like a human head tree. Many branches had pierced into the bodies of the mummies, probably to absorb nutrients.
No one knows when these mummies were caught by these ghost trees.
It may be a few years, or it may be decades or even hundreds of years.
It is indeed extremely miserable to be unable to live or die for such a long time. For these mummies, death is the best relief.
But they can't even die.
Lin Mo took a look and thought, wow, this ghost tree is not simple. It has a strong aura and complex roots. Moreover, there are countless ghost trees like this on this cliff hundreds of feet above and below.
If they are all family, then they must not be provoked.
If you provoke one, you will inevitably be besieged.
Now Lin Mo was in a hurry to save people, so he ignored other people’s business.
"I'm sorry, I'm just passing by and can't help you."
After saying this, Lin Mo continued to go down, of course being careful to avoid the ghost trees along the way.
However, these ghost trees seemed to know that Lin Mo was not easy to mess with. Lin Mo avoided them, and they also avoided Lin Mo.
It can be said that they have a tacit understanding and everyone gets along well.
After going down, there is a platform, which is very large. It seems to be as big as a football field.
Walking forward, there is another cliff, but there is no way down this cliff, and it is bottomless. You can faintly hear the roar of flowing water below.
There is a river.
But in a place like the underworld, the river is definitely not a simple river.
If you fall into the river, it may be more miserable than being sucked by the ghost tree for hundreds of years.
There were vines in front connecting to the distance. Lin Mo took a look and understood.
This requires people to crawl along the vines.
There was thick fog on the other side and I didn't know how far away we were.
It may be tens of meters, or perhaps hundreds of meters, or even farther.
But no matter how far it is, since Lin Mo has already walked on this ghost path, he must walk all the way to the end and finish it in the shortest time possible.
It usually takes four to five days or even longer for a ghost to leave.
The time given by Zhong Kui is one day.
Lin Mo still felt that it was too long. He thought that it would take him half a day at most to walk there, so he must not waste time.
Without saying a word, he climbed up the vines, then hung upside down and crawled to the other side.
Lin Mo climbed very quickly, because not only was he exerting strength, but two pale little hands stretched out from his sleeves, also grabbing the vines with strength.
In addition to this, there were several iron chains stretched out and wrapped around the vines, serving as protection while also exerting force.
In this way, Lin Mo's speed is actually faster than the cable car.
After a while, it was immersed in the thick fog ahead.
This is not a thick fog.
It looks like that from a distance, but once you actually come in you will find that the place is full of wronged souls flying around.
The resentment can be clearly felt.
These wronged ghosts have hideous faces, and their facial features and hands can be seen, but their upper and lower bodies are completely blended with the surrounding fog and cannot be distinguished from each other.
They swam quickly in it, making shrill screams and wails, mostly curses and vicious curses.
In fact, they not only move their mouths, but also their hands.
A wronged ghost rushed over, grabbed Lin Mo's clothes and tried to tear them off.
Before he could even use any strength, a small white hand grabbed his neck, squeezed it, and shattered it into pieces.
But the wronged soul did not disappear, but simply became one of the surrounding mist, emitting astonishing resentment and malice.
At the same time, I am also tormented by these two terrible negative emotions.
Moreover, it is a never-ending torture.
From this point of view, they are actually very pitiful.
But now Lin Mo has no time to sympathize with them.
Right now, anyone who stands in my way will be killed, and anyone who stands in my way will be killed.
There's nothing much to say.
Kill as you go.
I don’t know how many innocent souls were minced into tofu dregs.
The vine road was longer than Lin Mo had thought.
Later, Lin Mo got used to it. It would be nice if he could climb to the finish line like this. At least nothing could stop him.
But when I thought about this, I saw the other side of the river instead, and that was the end of the vines in front of me.
The tree is very tall and very wide.
There are tens of thousands of vines and branches, and even more leaves.
Covering the sky and the sun.
Although there is no sunlight here, if you look up, you will feel a suffocating sense of oppression.
It feels like imagining yourself as an ant, looking up under a big willow tree.
That's about the feeling.
The tree trunk is like a huge wall with dense holes on it. It seems that the entry is through the holes on the trunk.
Lin Mo quickly stepped forward, crawled to the nearby hole and crawled in.
It was pitch black inside.
All of a sudden, even Lin Mo couldn't see the road ahead clearly.
You can only touch it randomly.
wrong.
It's not that my eyesight is bad, it's that this place will make people blind.
Lin Mo quickly told Xiaoyu not to come out, because if she came out she would be blind, and it would be troublesome if she couldn't recover.
Now that I can’t see, I can only move forward in the dark.
I really didn't expect that there is such a part in the ghost path. If I can't recover, I will be a blind man when I go out, and I won't be able to do anything.
But on second thought, this possibility is not high.
Because the ghost prisoners who walked the ghost road before could not all be blind.
So this blindness should only be temporary.
After figuring this out, Lin Mo felt much calmer and groped forward faster.
Suddenly, he touched a human face.
Cold and cold.
The other party might also be startled and let out a low growl.
"Someone's here."
It's a bit like going to an old, dark public toilet, and after finally finding a toilet stall, a deep male voice comes from inside saying that there's someone there.
This place has an owner.
Lin Mo retracted his hand, thinking that he had accidentally walked into the toilet? It was unlikely.
It is possible that these ghost prisoners are unwilling to continue their journey. They find this place relatively safe, so they do not move forward and stay in this tree hole passage.
Even though he was blind all the time, at least he didn't have to suffer.
But in Lin Mo's opinion, this is self-deception.
Staying here is just a delay, and the guilt will not be reduced or eliminated.
And it’s not necessarily good here.
Maybe it's better to just keep moving forward.
Lin Mo had to move forward anyway. He groped around and suddenly touched a sharp thorn.
The Iron Curse was immediately triggered.
No piercing of the palm.
But that sharp feeling still makes people's heart skip a beat.
Are there still thorns in this place?
Lin Mo knew it wouldn't be that simple.
He finally realized that this ghost path was obviously for torturing people. Before, there were cliffs and deep valleys. Now, people were blinded first, and then spikes were placed along the way.
That’s too damaging.
Which bastard came up with that?
Lin Mo could only wish that the other party would give birth to a son without an anus. There was nothing else he could do.
He then groped his way around and found that it was just as he had imagined, either spikes or blades, and the most exaggerated thing was that there was a red-hot iron.
How did you get this done?
But whatever it is, Curse of Steel can handle it.
Therefore, the impact of this blind road on Lin Mo is almost negligible.
He walked and felt his way along the way at a very fast speed. Finally, he felt a bright light in front of his eyes. Although he still couldn't see clearly, he felt that he had already gotten out of the tree hole.
Sure enough, after a short while of adapting, my vision returned to normal.
Looking back, he had indeed come out of the cave.
There is a forest path ahead.
Although the trees on both sides have no leaves, are bare and strange in shape, but if you look at it from an artist's perspective, this place is obviously much better than the previous three sections of road.
At least the road was flat and there was nothing messy to see.
The surrounding woods are very dense and close to each other, and they look like iron trees with sharp branches like blades, so Lin Mo named this road: Blade Forest.
Anyway, just follow the road.
I was on guard at first, but then I relaxed my vigilance when I realized there was nothing wrong.
But Lin Mo soon discovered that this section of the road was even more evil than the previous ones.
"This seems like a maze!"
Lin Mo looked at the fork in the road ahead.
He has encountered several crossroads like this.
I had doubts just now, and now I find that everything around me is the same and I have no idea where to go. Isn't this a maze?
It's just the maze.
From the beginning, Lin Mo heard a strange crying sound.
That sound is like using a pot brush to brush your nerves, which makes your brain hurt; plus this maze, if you can't get out for a long time, you will definitely be upset, and the crying will make you more upset, and over time...
Hiss! Even Lin Mo took a breath.
Even a ghost can go crazy and become a mad ghost.
When he collapses, he might bang his head against the surrounding iron branches, trying to commit suicide and never suffer this torture again.
But the problem is, it definitely won’t kill you.
As I said, in this place, death is the best relief.
It is also something that cannot be obtained.
I guess even if you smash your head into pieces, you won't die in the end. The result will be a broken skull and continued suffering, endlessly.
Fortunately, Lin Mo had gone crazy a long time ago.
He has a mental illness curse.
It's like, if he feels annoyed, then he will be annoyed; if he feels that the crying sound is the sound of nature, then this sound is the sound of nature.
Combined with self-bewitchment, the two curses are more effective when used together.
Anyway, Lin Mo muttered to himself for a while, and then walked forward. He felt refreshed and could even beat the rhythm to the strange crying sounds around him.
I don't know how big this maze is.
If it's big enough and difficult enough to walk through, there might be ghosts trapped there.
Just when I thought of this, I encountered one in front of me.
A ragged, dishevelled ghost was standing under an iron branch in front of Lin Mo with his back to him.
Hitting the head again and again.
There was dark blood on the ground, and it looked like this guy had been hit for some time.
When you get closer, you can hear the sound of heads banging, puff puff.
And this ghost kept muttering: Stop crying, stop crying!
At this moment, the head-butting ghost suddenly turned its head and looked at Lin Mo.
Everyone looked at each other, Lin Mo frowned, and the head-butting ghost quickly turned his head back.
"Look at me again and I'll blow your head off."
Lin Mo cursed.
The head-banging ghost knew he had met a big boss, so he didn't dare to talk back and just continued to bang his head obediently.
Continue forward and you will encounter more lost ghosts.
What is more impressive is that one of them was deafened by a poked ear.
Blood kept flowing out of the ears, but even so, the ghost kept screaming, saying that the crying sound was still there, why was the sound still there even though the ears were deaf.
There are also those who have given up on themselves, sitting on the ground, motionless, either silent; or giggling, trying to heal the misery with laughter; or crying, trying to fight poison with poison.
You know what, there are quite a lot of ghosts trapped here.
But these have nothing to do with Lin Mo.
Let's each do our own thing and not interfere with each other.
But as he walked, Lin Mo stopped and looked back.
I don't know when a large group of ghosts followed behind me.
Lin Mo knew it when the first ghost followed him. Then there were two or three, and then more and more.
Lin Mo also knew their plan.
I don't want to be trapped here. I know I'm not a simple person, so I want to follow and try my luck to see if I can get out.
Now that you know the reason and that they have no ill intentions, just follow them.
Lin Mo ignored them.
Keep going.
As I walked, I listened carefully to the crying.
In fact, the crying sounds are different in different areas.
There were some indistinguishable murmurs mixed in.
Only if you listen carefully can you hear it clearly.
Lin Mo listened very carefully.
Because the crying actually provides guidance on how to get out of the maze.
