The Ascension of Ghosts

When Lu Sheng heard the voice, his face turned pale with shock, and he called out, "First...Mr. Shuiyue?"

He quickened his pace and walked around the protruding rock wall in front of him, and he saw the clear water in his eyes. The cave showed a vast lake, sparkling, clear and elegant.

An octagonal pavilion with black tiles and red pillars is built on the water near the lake shore. There are stone tables and benches in the pavilion, and there are tea cups on the table. A man wearing a blue book long shirt is sitting at the table, holding an ancient book, smiling gently. , eyes like a clear spring, looked at him softly, "If you don't see him, you should hear his voice first, Lu Baoyang, you haven't changed at all."

This person is really Mr. Shuiyue who has been separated from Huang He and has never been heard from.

Lu Sheng's eyes were hot, he rubbed them vigorously, and stared at him with wide eyes.

Mr. Shuiyue saw Lu Sheng standing by the lake with a dazed expression on his face. He shook his head unconsciously and sighed, "It's still so slow...that's all, come here." He waved to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was both surprised and delighted. As he walked up the narrow bridge leading to the Huxin Pavilion, he said in a trembling voice, "Sir...Mr. left Chenliu County and hid here? What a coincidence!"

Unexpectedly, before he stepped onto the narrow bridge, he was grabbed by his belt and pulled back violently.

He didn't check for a moment, staggered back, but leaned against the arms of the person behind him, when he looked up, Xie Rong's well-shaped, white jade-like jaw fell into his eyes.

Lu Sheng frowned and said, "Ah Rong, let go."

Xie Rong sneered and said: "It's not good to see someone, but you happened to see Shuiyue."

Lu Sheng heard it harshly, and fearing that Shuiyue might be suspicious, he hurriedly took a step forward to break away from his embrace, and said in a low voice, "Sir, don't be presumptuous!"

Shuiyue had stood up, walked a few steps, stopped at the edge of the Huxin Pavilion, and asked calmly, "Baoyang, who are you?"

Lu Sheng opened his mouth, and felt guilty, and said awkwardly, "Yes...it's a friend, a friend."

But Shuiyue only looked at him with a smile, her eyes seemed to be piercing, making Lu Sheng even more frightened, she broke away from Xie Rong's hand again, and wanted to walk on the bridge.

Unexpectedly, Xie Rong said coldly behind him: "Lu Baoyang, if you take one step forward, I will rape you on the spot."

Lu Sheng never imagined that Xie Rong became so shameless, she said such obscene words in front of Mr. Shuiyue, she was angry and ashamed for a moment, she didn't dare to look up at Shuiyue, but she really didn't dare to move forward After taking half a step, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he was almost crying out of anger. He clasped his fingers tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Xie Rong, you—"

Xie Rong said unhurriedly, "It turns out that the thing you fear most in your heart is Mr. Shuiyue."

He said every word with a cold ending, but he seemed to be a little angry. Lu Sheng was about to reply "nonsense" without hesitation, but suddenly blurred in front of his eyes, and the scene was distorted. The fairy-like Mr. Shuiyue disappeared together.

Only a giant spider web of more than ten feet in length and width was left on the spot. The spider web was thicker than an adult man's arm, and it was as crystal clear as a crystal carving. fan--

Lu Sheng's eyes were full of pearls, until Xie Rong pressed his shoulders and turned around, he suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly felt the fear, cold sweat dripped down his back, and the fingers holding Xie Rong's skirt trembled slightly, his voice He asked dryly, "Is that... still an illusion?"

Xie Rong didn't answer, just looked solemn, holding the fragment of the tortoise shell with one hand, the engraved brilliance of the fragment shone with the spider web, and each other brightened and dimmed for a while, as if you came and went, echoing each other, and then the light on the spider web gradually dimmed , the light on the tortoise shell becomes more intense and dazzling.

Lu Sheng quietly retreated to the side to guard him, holding his breath and not daring to disturb him, but he saw that Xie Rong's forehead was getting wet with sweat, and his breathing was getting heavy. Lu Sheng usually only saw this attitude of doing his best in the bed, but now it inevitably made him feel distracted.On the one hand, he was dreaming, but on the other hand, he couldn't restrain his worries, which made him feel conflicted, which was tantamount to torture.

Fortunately, Xie Rong's posture didn't last long, she suddenly raised her hand, put away the tortoise shell, and said calmly: "It's done, you can take a look."

Lu Sheng turned his head away. The brilliance of the crystal spider web had completely disappeared, and it had turned into the off-white color of ordinary spider silk. It had been weathered for many years, and it was broken and broken everywhere. Only then did it have a somewhat real appearance.What's more, there are a few corpses stuck to the spider web. There are some people and beasts. The skeletons are clean, and there is no trace of flesh and blood left. Even the skeletons have corrosion marks, which may be caused by excessive corrosion by the spider venom. .

Lu Sheng's whole body stiffened immediately, his scalp was numb, and he slowly turned his head to look at Xie Rong, and said with a sad face, "If I just walked past..."

Xie Rong smiled, and said: "I saved your life, just write it down, and settle the accounts after the autumn, and collect [-]% of the profit."

Lu Sheng said angrily: "The bullies in Tonghuafang lend usury, and they only charge six cents! Ah Rong, are you being unreasonable?"

Mr. Xie, but now he is called An Guohou——when did Xie Houye reason with others?

Xie Rong glanced at him, but didn't even bother to say anything, just turned around and looked at the place where the cave came from, a few feet away, Li Ying was still sweating profusely and fell to the ground, his face was pale and lost his mind, until now he came back to his senses and murmured Muttered: "That, what is that thing?"

Xie Rong frowned slightly, and didn't want to explain further, but Lu Sheng also asked: "Ah Rong, what is that, if it is an illusion, why is Li Daochang afraid of snakes and scorpions, but I saw Mr. Shuiyue?"

Xie Rong had no choice but to say: "This is the Mie Ming spider. It is only as big as a finger, and it lives in groups. It is innumerable. When it comes out of the nest, it is like a river bursting its embankment. It can swallow tigers and wolves. It is the most troublesome thing. And once The nest forms a huge net, which is colorless and invisible, and can assimilate with the surrounding scenery. An ordinary prey will accidentally bump into it, disturbing the spiders, and naturally there will be no life. People can see the most feared thing in their hearts, and if they are afraid, they can retreat from the whole body."

He glanced at Li Ying again, and said with a faint smile: "Li Daochang has lived for more than 500 years, and now there is nothing he fears more than death, so I'm afraid he saw a demon that can easily put people to death."

Li Ying's eyes dodged, but he refused to answer.

Xie Rong didn't take him seriously, and looked at Lu Sheng again, and said with a sneer, "But you are as stupid and bold as you, who can't be frightened by the most feared thing, and insist on going forward... that's the ending .”

He pointed at the piles of white bones under the spider web, Lu Sheng shrank his head again, feeling lingering fear, but he didn't dare to argue with Xie Rong, and simply flattered him: "Ah Rong is still the most powerful, he can see through the deception at a glance."

Xie Rong just smiled: "There are two fools standing in front of you, one is real and the other is fake, so it's easy to tell the difference."

Lu Sheng said embarrassingly, "I, I'm not a fool... It's just that I met Mr. suddenly..." He suddenly felt happy, and his face became strange, "Ah Rong, so you are most afraid of me?"

Xie Rong knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and closed her mouth with a gloomy face, but Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he approached him with a smile and repeated it again, but he dragged his words and showed off: "It turns out...it turns out, Ah Rong, the last- -fear me?"

Xie Rong raised her hand and pinched his cheek, smiling white-toothed, "I'm most afraid that you will pinch me."

Lu Sheng's cheeks hurt from being pinched, he took a breath and broke free, while rubbing, he hummed and said with a smile: "Okay, it's Ah Rong who is shy and wants to talk about him...I won't be fooled."

Xie Rong was secretly annoyed, he was caught by Lu Sheng for a while, so he had to think about how to remedy it in the future, turned his head and ignored him, and said: "If Daoist Li has had enough rest, it's time to go on the road."

Li Ying was left out in the cold for a long time, and finally got the chance. He hurriedly stood up and sighed, "...I'm ashamed."

Lu Sheng then asked: "According to what Ah Rong said, this spider web is still untouchable, how do we get on the road?"

Xie Rong had no expression on her face, she just said: "Go over."

The spider web has been going on for many years, and now there is a hole in the lower right corner that is more than a person's height. Presumably because there was a spell attached to it before, the Mingming Spider couldn't detect it and couldn't repair it. Instead, it took this opportunity to go straight through.

Lu Sheng also saw it, and secretly thought he was confused, so he nodded, clasped his fists at Li Ying and said, "Please, Daoist Li."

Li Ying was terribly frightened before, but he still looks pale, walking staggeringly, hunched over, but he dared not go forward, he just said: "Lu, Mr. Lu, please first."

Left and right have to go, it doesn't matter who goes first, so Lu Sheng carefully walked through the spider web, and Xie Rong followed closely behind him and passed through.

Li Ying still stayed at the other end, looking at the backs of the two, with a ferocious expression on his face, he picked up a bone and smashed it fiercely at the spider web, with a muffled sound, the shock instantly spread in all directions, rustling. The sound of insects crawling followed overwhelmingly.

Lu Sheng immediately turned around and shouted sharply, "Li Ying!"

But on the blue-gray rock wall, countless purple-black dots emerged from the gaps everywhere, gathered quickly, and dyed the whole huge gray-white spiderweb into purple-black. Li Ying laughed wildly at the other end: "The old man found it!" Shenzhou tripod, why should I give it to you! Now that the phantom formation is broken, I will no longer be afraid, and I will come in to get the tripod after the Mie Ming spider is full!"

He turned around and fled out of the cave. The Mie Ming spider had already covered the entire spider web. Before finding any prey, it began to diffuse towards both sides of the spider web, as if waves were undulating and rushing along the stone wall, but there seemed to be some invisible blockage at the entrance of the cave. The group retreated one after another when they reached the entrance of the cave, and finally they all rushed after Xie Rong and Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng encountered sudden changes one after another, and he was completely out of breath. He and Xie Rong met their eyes and immediately understood what was in each other's minds. They turned around and ran to the depths of the cave.

The cave twists and turns, seems to have no end, Xie Rong shouted while running: "Bi Fang!"

The flamingo came out in response, and turned into the size of an ordinary crane. It flapped its wings with all its strength towards the surging sea of ​​spiders, and the flames roared out, burning the blanket formed by the large spiders, but more Mingming spiders stepped on it. Through the charred black body of the same kind, he filled the gap and continued to chase the two of them.

The flamingo fanned the fire again, and the Mie Ming spider was scorched and patched up, and repeated, but there was no end in sight.Bi Fang slapped him a few times, but at the end he had a lingering soul, powerless to carry on, and retracted into the jade pendant after confessing his crime.

Lu Sheng pulled out the hanging pot, but Mingming Spider was too small to feel the power of the hanging pot's fierce blade, and was still aggressive and chasing after him.

He had no choice but to withdraw his sword and run wildly, shouting in horror: "Ah Rong!! I don't want to die here!"

Xie Rong's speed is not inferior to him at all, on the contrary, she took the time to turn her head to look at him, and said with a smile: "I kissed and fell asleep, Baoyang still doesn't want to die in love with me?"

Lu Sheng was furious: "At the moment of crisis, you still have the time to joke around! You want to die for love, go find the spider spirit!"

Seeing that he was really angry, Xie Rong stopped talking, and pulled Lu Sheng's wrist in a comforting manner, and turned left along the rock wall, but saw the rocky rocks in front of him, and he had run to the bottom of the cave, and there was nowhere to retreat. Behind him was purple black Layers of spiders were like waves, sweeping from all directions, up, down, left, and right of the cave.

The author has something to say: Then they were all eaten.
