Chapter 1290 Crossroads
There is no turning back when carrying coffins, they only have one chance to choose.
"Only one of these three paths is real, and the other two are deceptions. The ghost stands on the ground with its two feet, using the yin energy on its body to affect the terrain and modify our senses."
According to Yuan Shanyuan, the current scene is similar to the ghost breaking into the wall last time. The two extra paths were also created by the female ghosts last time.
If you go down the wrong path, you will fall into the trap of the female ghost.
"People have their own paths, and ghosts have their own paths. We can't see the risks on the three roads, but the ghosts certainly can." Seeing this scene, Luo Tianhe calmed down, took a deep breath and said, "We can ask the ghosts."
Li Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Mr. Luo, are you referring to these lonely ghosts behind you?"
"Of course, otherwise why would we lure them here?"
Luo Tianhe reached into his clothes and took out the cloth bag wrapped with fire folds and incense, "Mr. Yuan, I will ask you to join me in the attack later. I can't trust these young people."
"Okay." Yuan Shanyuan also knew the current situation and agreed simply.
Later, Luo Tianhe turned his head and his eyes wandered between Lin Qianqian and Li Bai. Lin Qianqian, who was already feeling guilty, avoided Luo Tianhe's gaze. Luo Tianhe paused and looked away, "Miss Li Bai, I have to trouble you on the last road.
."
Li Bai agreed.
Later, the three of them handed over their positions and were replaced by Jiang Cheng, Yao, Shunyu, and Lin Qianqian respectively. The three of Luo Tianhe who had freed their bodies no longer delayed, each took out three incense sticks from Luo Tianhe's cloth bag, and took them again.
A kuaizi and nine incense sticks were handed to them, and they were lit together with fire sticks, and then each took a coarse porcelain bowl from the coffin.
The three of them walked towards three roads respectively, turned around and squatted down at the intersection they chose.
Turn your back to the road and face the direction of the coffin.
Luo Tianhe chose the road on the left, with Yuan Shanyuan in the middle and Li Bai on the right.
The three of them placed the bowls filled with uncooked rice on the ground at the same time and respectfully inserted three incense sticks. The moment the incense sticks were inserted into the uncooked rice, the incense head suddenly lit up and burned rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the three of them lowered their heads, squeezed their right hands quickly, and tapped the rim of the bowl.
The crisp knocking sound echoed in the night, which was indescribably weird.
At this moment, the four people who were still standing by the coffin suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind them, as if something extremely cold was approaching them quickly. People like Lin Qianqian, Yao Shunyu and others who lacked Yang and Fire were even shivering with cold.
The next second, the fat man held his breath, his eyes full of fear. He saw people appearing in front of him. Many people, men, women, old people and children. These people had disheveled hair and ragged clothes. Some of them didn't even wear shoes and were walking stiffly.
He walked towards Li Bai's path. Of course, all he saw was his back.
Then, the group of people gathered around Li Bai, squatted down, lowered their heads, stretched out their hands tremblingly, grabbed handfuls of rice in the bowl, stuffed it into their mouths, and chewed it in an old-fashioned way.
There was no sound during the whole process, like watching a scary silent movie.
The scene Li Bai saw at this moment was even weirder. From her perspective, the surrounding area was empty and there was no one at all, but the uncooked rice in the bowl was getting less and less, as if it had been dug away by something.
But even so, Li Bai's hand was still very steady, tapping the edge of the bowl time and time again, and his rhythm was not disrupted.
"Li Bai's road is the real one. You see, those lonely ghosts would rather fight for a bowl of rice than beg for food on the two roads of Luotian River and Yuan Shanyuan, because they are afraid of the ghosts blocking the way on those two roads.
."
As soon as Yao and Shunyu finished speaking, they saw Luo Tianhe standing up violently, followed by Yuan Shanyuan. Both of them had ugly expressions on their faces. They lowered their heads and stared at the three sticks of incense in the bowl in front of them.
The incense in the two bowls was surprisingly consistent. The incense on the left and right burned very quickly, while the one in the middle burned much slower, forming a short, long, and short scene.
People should avoid three long and two short, and people should avoid two short and one long fragrance.
As Luo Tianhe and Yuan Shanyuan dropped the tachyon and ran back, Li Bai no longer persisted. She saw her breaking the tachyon with both hands, then circled around and returned quickly.
Seeing that Li Bai came back safe and sound, Jiangcheng Fatty Yao, Shun, and Yu could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Li Bai had proved her worth with her true talents and knowledge.
"The road on the right is true. Go quickly, otherwise things will change."
Now that things had become clear, everyone no longer hesitated. After returning to their original positions, everyone carried the coffin and quickly ran to the road on the right. When passing Li Bai's bowl, Jiang Cheng took a careful look at it, only to see that there was only rice left in it.
It was so thin that even the incense could no longer be inserted.
But the incense burned without any problem, and the remaining lengths of the three incense sticks were almost the same.
But not long after everyone carried the coffin and left, the coarse porcelain bowl suddenly started shaking for no reason, and then a crack extended upward from the bottom of the bowl. The bowl then cracked, and the rice inside was scattered out.
The three incense sticks fell straight down and fell to the ground side by side. The two incense sticks were cut off from the middle, leaving only a short section. Only the long incense stick in the middle was still intact.
The next second, all three incense sticks were extinguished.
…
"What’s wrong with you?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the fat man in front of him. He kept shrinking his neck several times.
"No...it's okay. I just feel uncomfortable in my neck, and there seems to be a chill coming over me."
The fat man didn't know why, but just now, a burst of cold air suddenly came from behind him. He couldn't help but shrink his neck because of the coldness. But when he felt something was wrong, the cold air disappeared out of thin air.
Fatty was not the only one who felt something was wrong. Luo Tianhe also felt something was wrong. He slowly slowed down and scanned the surroundings with vigilance, "It's strange, there isn't much rice left in the bowl. Those desperate ghosts should have finished eating long ago."
That’s right, but why haven’t they caught up yet?”
After all, there is still a bowl of rice on the coffin at this moment.
"Indeed, it was empty behind us. I didn't hear any footsteps."
Pursing her lips, Li Bai's voice also contained doubts and a hint of indescribable uneasiness, and she didn't know why.
"There's something wrong with this road." Jiang Cheng suddenly said, "After passing the upper slope, you should not be far away from where you can see a big stone. On the right side, there is also a tree that was broken by thunder, and the tree body was partially scorched.
, so it’s very conspicuous, but we walked for so long and didn’t see it.”
"But those scents just now were obviously fine." Lin Qianqian suddenly panicked.
"The issue we are talking about has nothing to do with incense. I am just saying that there is a problem with this road."
Under the current circumstances, Jiang Cheng had no time to waste words with Lin Qianqian. What he hoped to get was useful advice or a plan to get out of trouble, from a useful person.
"Back...back!"
Lin Qianqian turned her head, her expression instantly frozen on her face. She saw that about 20 meters behind them, a crossroads appeared out of thin air, extending outwards to the first three roads on the left and right.
