Chapter 383 The gate to another world?
"What's behind this door?"
Everyone gathered in front of the stone gate, but no matter how hard they shone their flashlights, they still couldn't see anything.
Weird! Mysterious! Dangerous!
Black Tube looked at Xia He and asked, "What should we do? Should we go in?"
Xia He said, "Come in. Now that we're here, we have to go in even if there are dangerous places ahead!"
"I'll go in first. If there's no danger, you can follow me in."
Upon hearing this, Lu Liang hurriedly said, "Sister Xia, it's too dangerous. Why don't we go explore the way first?"
Xia He laughed and said, "Why, do you look down on me?"
"No, it's not."
"As the captain, how can I always hide behind you? I have to lead by example. Don't worry, I won't joke about my own life. Otherwise, someone will be heartbroken..."
Ding Shimaan stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you. Zhang Wuling told me he'd guarantee your safety. He's done me a favor, and I can't go back on my word."
Ma Xianhong frowned and said, "If you ask me, can't we go in together? Why make it so complicated?"
Xia He said to him, "The situation behind this door is strange and unknown. If we all go in at once and something unexpected happens, we'll all be wiped out. It's best to go in and explore first..."
"Huh? Then it's okay without a real person." Ma Xianhong raised his eyebrows.
Everyone looked over at once.
Ma Xianhong took out the Devouring Sac and released several humanoid puppets. He said proudly, "Just let the puppets explore the way. There's no need to worry about danger. The worst that can happen is we lose a few puppets. If nothing happens, we can go in again."
Xia He slapped his forehead and said helplessly, "I forgot that there's a weapon refining master like you here... okay, let's try using the puppet first."
Ma Xianhong controlled several puppets to enter the stone gate, but as soon as he entered, he uttered "Huh" softly.
"How is it?" Lu Linglong asked.
Ma Xianhong frowned: "I've lost contact with the puppet... What's behind this stone door? Why is it so strange?"
Xia He sighed, "It seems that we still need someone to explore the way."
"Then count me in as one," said Mr. Liu Er, walking out. "I happen to be very interested in this stone gate."
Xia He thought about it and agreed.
The three of them tied ropes around their waists before stepping into the stone gate.
Under the nervous gaze of Lu Liang and the others, the figures of Xia He and the other two were instantly swallowed by the stone gate.
There was actually nothing unusual when I walked in.
There was a slightly chilly feeling, as if I had stepped into an ice storage, but the feeling was fleeting.
I thought it would be a pitch black place after entering, but it turned out not to be the case.
Except for the momentary disappearance of vision, a strange scene appeared next -
The black mountains stretch out and rise, the sky is covered with dark clouds and there is no sunlight, and a black river flows slowly and meanders.
In short, the three of them came to a strange world with black mountains and black waters.
"This..." Xia He looked around, "Is this an illusion?"
Master Liu said in a deep voice: "No, we should have entered the 'sealed land', but we don't know whether the corpse sealed here is an evil corpse (corpse bodhisattva) or a good corpse."
"The sealed place?" Xia He and Ding Shimaan looked over.
Master Liu Er explained, "It's not that mysterious actually. This should be a place similar to an inner world. The moment we entered the stone gate, we were pulled in."
"I just don't know if this is the interior of a good corpse or an evil corpse, but no matter which one it is, we need to find the other one and completely destroy its consciousness before we can escape from here."
"I see..." Xia He nodded.
At this time, Ding Shimaan looked at his waist and found that the rope had disappeared, which just proved what Mr. Liu Er said just now.
But in this case, how can they inform the clarinet outside the door?
But, in fact, there is no need to worry about this problem.
After Xia He and the others entered the door, Hei Guan'er and Lu Linglong immediately discovered that the rope was not moving.
They tried hard to pull the three people out, but found that they could not do anything.
"Oh no! Something must have happened!" Tang Wenlong shouted.
"Tsk," Clarinet sucked his teeth, "I'll go in and take a look."
Without waiting for anyone else to respond, Clarinet rushed in.
Lu Linglong also said seriously: "No matter what happens, we must face it together!"
"That's right!" Lu Liang said, "I will never abandon Sister Xia He and the others."
"Then why waste time talking!" Ma Xianhong curled his lips and walked straight to the door.
The others hurried to follow, and when the darkness swallowed everything, they soon found themselves in a magical place.
Black mountains and black waters...
"Hey! Everyone is here!" Lu Liang was immediately delighted when he saw Xia He and the others.
Ding Shimaan put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "I really don't know whether to say you are loyal or stupid enough to commit suicide."
Clarinet spread his hands and said, "There's nothing I can do. I can't just stand by and watch him die. But from what I've seen, the situation doesn't seem that bad."
Lao Meng pushed his glasses, looked up at the sky, and then looked at the surrounding environment.
"Well, what should we do now? It seems there is no way to tell the direction here."
This place looks very big, and it would be easy to get lost if you wander around without a destination.
But this damn place has neither the sun, moon, stars, nor any obvious landmark buildings.
Tao Tao pointed at the black river and said, "How about we follow the flow?"
"Should we go up or down?" Lu Liang asked.
Just as everyone was thinking about what to do, Mr. Liu Er suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly asked everyone to hide.
"Something is coming." Ding Shimaan whispered.
Soon, under the gaze of everyone, a strange team appeared in the Black River.
They were a group of ghosts wearing tattered black robes, with ashen skin, emitting a sinister aura, and carrying a coffin upstream.
Even though they were far away, Xia He and the others could still feel a chilling air spreading over them, penetrating deep into their bones and making them shudder.
Master Liu's eyes were emitting pure white light. He didn't say anything, but just gestured to everyone, indicating that they should follow the team of ghosts carrying the coffin.
Everyone understood what Mr. Liu meant, so they slowed down their breathing, lightened their steps, and followed the group of ghosts carrying the coffin.
About twenty minutes later, the group of ghosts carrying the coffin that were originally walking in the river suddenly came ashore and stepped onto a small path.
really!
Xia He and the others looked at each other and continued to follow.
After walking along the path for about thirty minutes, a village appeared in front of us.
As soon as the group of ghosts carrying the coffin entered the village, they immediately turned into shadows and disappeared into thin air.
Xia He and his group waited for about a few minutes, and only after making sure that there was nothing unusual did they show up and arrive at the village entrance.
There is a large stone tablet at the entrance of the village. It stands under a locust tree and has two large characters engraved on it:
【Mourning Village】
