"Little girl, this is a special time. I hope that you and I can work together and resolve any conflicts after we get out of here, okay?”Han Jianguo had a good attitude towards Yang Guo. He suspected that the newest 13-man pillar found by the military was the little girl in front of him. Every pillar had their own unique talent and skills, so it was best to recruit them when they didn't know their background.
"Professor Han, I've never been here before. I might not be of much help to you." Yang Guo hugged Wang Xiao and secretly looked at the surrounding terrain. She originally thought that since they were at the same level as the military, they wouldn't do things so recklessly. However, that person's actions just now made her see clearly that following them would only lead to her life as cannon fodder.
Wang Xiao secretly tugged at Yang Guo's hand and pointed to a spot. Yang Guo's eyes widened, as if she could see the figure of a bridge in the white fog under her feet.
"Doctor, we'll see each other again!”The corners of Yang Guo's mouth curled up slightly. She hugged Wang Xiao and jumped into the white fog under her feet.
"Hey, do you really want to die?”Han Fei was stunned by Yang Guo's sudden action. Who was so firm?
"Quickly follow!" Han Jianguo dragged the stunned Han Fei and jumped down after Yang Guo.
The surroundings were covered in white fog, but the feeling under his feet was real. Han Jianguo looked around and realized that there seemed to be a white jade bridge under his feet. Yang Guo and her brother had disappeared without a trace, and the other Yang Emissaries who had jumped down with him had also disappeared. Han Jianguo tried to contact them, but there was no response. The mist was vast and empty. It seemed that there was no one else besides Han Fei beside him.
"Godfather, what should we do now?”Han Fei pulled Han Jianguo nervously. It turned out that Han Fei was Han Jianguo's adopted son.
Han Jianguo placed an amulet on Han Fei's chest." There's a bridge, which means there's still a way out. Let's walk slowly."
"Yang Guo, there's something wrong with the white fog here.”Wang Xiao hugged Yang Guo's neck.
"Yes, Grandfather Li said that the sinners in the Red Gate would build bridges with bones and turn their souls into ghosts to guard the path to the palace.”Grandpa Li had told these stories to Yang Guo when she was young.
"So you lied to them about the three doors in the Round Hall?”Wang Xiao stared at Yang Guo with wide eyes.
Yang Guo shook her head," Not entirely. At least what happened in the black door was true.”
"Then what's behind that blue door?”Wang Xiao asked curiously.
"That's where the secret techniques of our Yao tribe's shamans are located. Isn't she longing for it? Let's let her yearn for it as much as she wants.”Yang Guo sneered, the expression on her face was cold, completely unlike her usual soft and cute appearance.
"Ah! Liar! I'm going to kill you!" At this moment, Du Qing, who had entered the blue door, was standing on a table in a stone room with a ferocious expression. Under the stone table were all kinds of poisonous creatures biting each other, and green poisonous water kept coming out from the stone walls in all directions. It was almost on the table now.
As a human pillar, Du Qing had the innate talent to control all poisonous creatures in the world. Entering here could be said to be invincible. However, after coming into contact with the poisonous water, these poisonous creatures went crazy and did not listen to orders. They even wanted to retaliate.
Grandma once told Yang Guo that every Yao person who wanted to become a wizard had to enter the blue door to train until they inherited a witchcraft. Judging from the stone room Du Qing was in, she was actually very lucky to have entered the land of inheritance of the Medical Magus. It was just that she was an outsider, so whether she could successfully receive the inheritance depended on her fate.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a scream of pain came from the white fog. If one listened carefully, one could hear the sound of something being chewed.
"Who is it?" The white fog that had not made a sound just now suddenly became lively. There seemed to be a ghost inside.
"Doctor, it's us!" The voice of Han Jianguo's subordinate came from the white fog.
"What happened on your side?”Han Fei raised his voice and shouted.
"We were attacked by malicious ghosts. There are many malicious ghosts hidden in the white fog. Xiao Li was accidentally sucked dry by the malicious ghost, and even his corpse was dragged along.”
"You guys form a circle first. Be careful not to run around. I'll go find you." Han Jianguo had just spoken when another scream came from the other end. In the white fog, one could vaguely see the light of the various spells cast by the group of Yang emissaries.
"Doctor, be careful. There's more than one of them."
Han Jianguo heard the commotion and stopped in his tracks. He squatted down and reached out to touch the bridge. The surface of the bridge was uneven and was actually made up of human bones.
Suddenly, a bone under the bridge loosened and grabbed Han Jianguo's hand. Han Jianguo's arm was aching. He immediately bit the tip of his tongue and sprinkled the pure Yang blood on the white bones, emitting a charred smell.
"Godfather, are you alright?" Sensing that something was wrong with Han Jianguo, Han Fei asked nervously.
" It's nothing." Han Jianguo pressed on the spot where the purple handprint was." I didn't expect the Yao people to build a stone bridge with these people's bones for their clansmen to trample on to atone for their sins." The thing in the white fog was probably not a malicious ghost, but a skeleton that was even more powerful than a malicious ghost!”
"Did that Yao girl give the wrong directions?”Han Fei frowned.
Han Jianguo shook his head and smiled.""No, on the contrary, this is the correct path. She lied to all of us before.”
"You mean Du Qing entered the wrong door?”Han Fei was horrified. They had actually been played by a little girl.
"That's right. Although the girl had never been here, there must be records of this place in the information passed down by the Yao clan.”
"Then, Godfather, should we go and settle the score with them?”Han Fei asked.
Han Jianguo gave Han Fei a complicated look and said,""You and them should leave this place first.”If his guess was correct, only those with the Yao bloodline had a chance of survival. As the son-in-law of the Yao tribe, he married his wife in front of the temple, and his name was written into the genealogy. Hopefully, he wouldn't fail this time.
"Take this. Just light this charm, and someone will come to save you.”Han Jianguo let go of Han Fei's hand and planned to leave.
"Wait, godfather, where are you going?”Han Fei nervously tugged at Han Jianguo's sleeve.
"I'll go help them. It's too dangerous there. Stay here and don't move.”Han Jianguo's eyes flickered. For the sake of the Godstone, he had to go in. These people were now a burden.
Although Han Fei was usually arrogant, he trusted Han Jianguo very much. He nodded and loosened his grip on Han Jianguo's sleeve." Godfather, be careful. I'll wait here for your safe return.”
Han Jianguo didn't say anything. He turned around and ran forward quickly. He wanted to get out of here before this man-eating bridge was completely resurrected.
Yang Guo and Wang Xiao also felt the vibration of the bridge. This bridge was for the dead to walk on. If they came in with their lives, they would definitely anger the skeletons guarding it.
"Pin 'er, hold on tight!" Yang Guo used all her strength and ran forward. It was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of them. They had no idea where the end was.
"Ah!" Yang Guo suddenly felt that there was nothing under her feet, and she and Yang Guo fell into the warm water. The current was very rapid, separating Yang Guo and Wang Xiao.
"Sister!"
"Little brother!"
The two of them were washed into different underground rivers. The river was very strange. It was a little like a water slide in an amusement park. However, it was completely sealed inside, and her screams were accompanied by the rumbling sound of water. Yang Guo fainted, completely unaware of how much time had passed.
In a daze, Yang Guo seemed to see a dim yellow light, and she seemed to have fallen asleep on the table. The weather was a little cold, and white snowflakes were already falling from the window. The snowflakes completely covered the road, making it impossible for people to find their way home.
Go home? Yang Guo suddenly sat up straight in horror. She looked at her body. She seemed to have returned to the night her grandmother passed away.
Yang Guo didn't know what was going on, but she was pleasantly surprised. She wanted to bring Grandma home. She didn't want Grandma to die!
Yang Guo quickly ran out. She held her red fingers and hurriedly knocked on Grandfather Li's door.
"Grandpa Li, open the door. Let's go fetch Grandma home."
Grandpa Li was still the same as that night. He glanced at Yang Guo, who was in a hurry to go out and didn't even bother to put on her coat, and scolded her. He gave Yang Guo a piece of Grandma Song's clothes from when she was young and draped it over her before asking Yang Guo about it.
Yang Guo quickly told Grandfather Li about the matter. Grandfather Li wanted to go to the village to get help just like he did in the past.
Yang Guo refused and pulled Grandfather Li out.
Grandfather Li couldn't hold Yang Guo back, so he could only walk out with her.
The bamboos in the bamboo forest were still bent by the snow, and their drooping branches formed a low " tunnel " on the mountain road.
Yang Guo pulled Grandfather Li along as they walked quickly through the tunnel. The snowflakes fell on her neck, making her feel cold.
The pine tree on the hill was also very obvious in the dark. A familiar figure was leaning against the tree trunk, his body already stiff.
"No, no, don't!" Yang Guo shook her head desperately, rejecting everything in front of her. Impossible. She was clearly very fast this time. How could the result be the same?
Warm tears flowed down her face, but the cold wind made her feel cold. Yang Guo's vision went black and she fainted.
When Yang Guo woke up, she saw the familiar light in front of her again. The wind and snow outside the window were still cold.
"Grandma!" This time, Yang Guo didn't call Grandpa Li. She ran quickly to the hill alone. The snow on the bamboo branches fell on her neck, but it was still cold. The figure under the pine tree also remained motionless.
Yang Guo's vision went black and she fainted again.
The third time, Yang Guo used her fastest speed. When she passed through the "tunnel", she left her shoes there. But she couldn't be bothered to pick it up and ran forward barefooted. But the ending didn't change anything, that person still refused to open his eyes to look at Yang Guo. Yang Guo knelt on the ground barefooted, her throat screaming like a baby bird crying blood. The pain in his feet was so obvious, but the despair in front of him was also so real.
Yang Guo's grandmother's death was the deepest fear she hid in her heart. It was a nightmare that she dreamed of every night.
Yang Guo woke up again, her shoes were still on her feet. With a numb face, she quickly opened the door and ran toward the hill again. She always felt that if she was a little faster, just a little faster, she would be able to meet her grandmother again. She would be able to see her grandmother holding a torch and smiling at her, and she would be able to hear her grandmother call out to her, Little Guo. That way, she could bring Grandma home as usual.
