Fear Collection

Through the open door, Feng Luoling vaguely saw that the outside seemed...turned blood red?

Feng Luoling firmly suppressed the rising fear in her heart, and slowly approached the gap.

Through that gap, she saw the endless blood mist outside...

The original thick white mist turned blood red, and the huge ancient locust tree with luxuriant branches and leaves has now turned into a scorched black dead wood, all the leaves have disappeared, and only the bare, carbonized branches reach out to the thick blood red. The fog, like a ferocious ghost claw, runs through the sky and the earth.

In the originally empty courtyard, dozens of round tables were set up at this time, and paper figurines were sitting on the chairs around the round tables.These paper figurines are all dressed in red clothes. From Feng Luoling's limited perspective, the expressions on the paper figurines she can see are all exaggerated and beaming smiles.

Perhaps sensing her sight, those paper figurines all turned to look at Feng Luoling.

Feng Luoling's breath was stagnant, and he immediately closed the door.

No... no, you can't go outside.

Feng Luoling's spiritual sense gave a crazy warning, it was too dangerous, she had a feeling that as long as she went out, she would never come back.

Fear continued to erode her consciousness, and in a trance, Feng Luoling suddenly heard joy.

Drums, cymbals, gongs, suona... the sounds range from far to near, from small to loud. Under the lively and joyful sound, it seems that there is a wedding procession going here.

I don't know if it's because the instrument has been in disrepair for a long time or what, but the closer the joy is, the more out of tune the sound becomes.Some missed beats, some slowed down, this weird, distorted joy gradually sounded more like sad joy to Feng Luoling.

Do not……

no, no, no...

It was more like joy and sorrow playing at the same time. The two kinds of music were superimposed together, making Feng Luoling feel like his brain was boiling.

Feng Luoling closed her eyes tightly, restrained her consciousness, and wanted to fight against the music in her head, but within a few seconds, she was exhausted and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Although Feng Luoling tried her best to control her spiritual sense, she still faintly sensed a figure.

Feng Luoling closed her eyes tightly, but a scene was outlined in her mind.

Under the ancient pagoda tree that had become a dead tree, a sedan chair was quietly parked. Surrounded by the blood mist, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted by the wind blowing from nowhere, revealing a bit of glaring red.

Just that little bit of red immediately overwhelmed the countless blood mist around him.

Two lines of blood and tears dripped from Feng Luoling's tightly closed eyes. With her eyes closed, she asked in a daze:

"What exactly do you want?"

"How on earth are you willing to let us go?"

"You... you..."

The people in the sedan chair didn't answer her, but Feng Luoling couldn't take it anymore, and even his nose began to bleed out.

……

In another dimension, Xie Jinxi was chased by Master Feng and Mrs. Feng behind him, running wildly all the way.

He entered a door from the main hall and came to a place similar to a side room. There were also two doors at the front and back of the side room. One was where he came in, and the other was a door that led to nowhere.

Xie Jinxi had no choice but to continue to push open the door in front, but came to another place similar to a side room, this time this room actually had doors on three sides.

Xie Jinxi paused, hesitating for a moment whether to open the door directly opposite or the door on the right.

With the sound of chaotic footsteps behind her, Xie Jinxi still decided to push open the opposite door.

His sense of space is not very good, turning right is not a good choice, he intends to go forward.

But when he opened the door again, he saw almost the same side room again, but this side room had doors on all sides.

At this point, no matter how stupid Xie Jinxi is, he realized the problem. It is indeed possible to have three connected rooms in a row, but which room will open doors on all sides?

Is this a different dimension or a ghost hitting the wall?

Xie Jinxi's mind turned wildly, and entered the first room from the main hall, that room only had two opposite doors for entering and exiting; but after entering the second room, there was an additional door, three doors; There are three rooms, and there is one more door, with four doors.

The ever-increasing number of doors in different directions seemed to suggest to him that he had different escape routes.If he chooses to turn left or right in a panic, he will get lost in this weird space in the ancestral hall after repeating it several times.

The same goes for Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng who were chasing him from behind. As ghosts, could they really not catch up to him?

They are more like forcing him to keep fleeing into this infinite room, so as to trap him!

Therefore, after entering the room with four doors, Xie Jinxi did not move forward rashly, but made an extremely bold decision. He stopped, turned around, and waited for Master Feng and Mrs. Feng who had been chasing behind him. .

From behind the door Xie Jinxi entered this room came the sound of messy footsteps, and there were waves of terrifying wind blowing towards him.

Xie Jinxi also couldn't help becoming nervous. Stopping and running away brought him great psychological pressure.

What if he was wrong?

What if Master Feng and Mrs. Feng couldn't just jump over and kill him because of the special nature of the ancestral hall?What if he stopped foolishly looking for his own death?

So far, he hasn't turned left or right. What if turning left and right is the way out?

All kinds of questions popped up uncontrollably in his mind, just standing there motionless waiting for the ghost to chase after him, Xie Jinxi was already in a cold sweat.

What he was waiting for were two grieving ghosts who would do nothing for their son...

Suddenly, the sound of messy footsteps disappeared, and Xie Jinxi's heart suddenly lifted.

From the open door frame he came in, two faces that were both familiar and unfamiliar to him suddenly appeared.

Those were the faces of Master Feng and Mrs. Feng. At this moment, those two faces were pale and expressionless, only their eyes were full of ferocious malice.

Under Xie Jinxi's gaze, gradually, except for the faces, the necks, shoulders, and bodies of the two ghosts gradually protruded from behind the door frame, and then they stepped into the threshold with one foot and rushed towards Xie Jinxi.

Without hesitation, Xie Jinxi turned around and opened the door opposite, and closed the door behind her back after entering.

Then he took a few steps back, did not continue to run, but continued to wait.

Sure enough...the two ghosts didn't come in this time, but stopped outside the door.

Xie Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he realize that the muscles in his legs and arms were so tense that they were a little sore.

he sees it...

Xie Jinxi has also been a grieving ghost. Ghosts have the ability to pass through walls and windows, and some can even teleport.But just now, Master Feng and Mrs. Feng were more like "chasing" him. This behavior itself has a big problem, and just now, they actually made a gesture of crossing the threshold before entering that room.

Xie Jinxi immediately understood that this was because there was a problem with the space inside the ancestral hall, which made it difficult for ghosts to teleport or pass through the walls. They could only use him to open one after another "doors" and then "enter" this space.

Here, the door, the threshold, etc., are just a symbol.The door symbolizes the entrance into a space, and stepping over the threshold symbolizes the action of entering a space.

In other words, as long as Xie Jinxi hides in a "closed" space, the two ghosts outside will not be able to enter.

Xie Jinxi was worried that they could also open the door, but now it seems that they can't.

The door that entered this room could not go through, Master Feng and Mrs. Feng were blocked there, but Xie Jinxi still had three doors to go through.

Forward, left or right?

What he should do now is to think of a way to bypass the main hall. It is impossible to continue forward. The forward direction is opposite to the main hall, but can he really find a way to go back to the main hall by going left or right?

Moreover, none of the four doors he opened on the way from the main hall to this alien space were closed. At that time, he was eager to escape and didn't realize the space problem.

In other words, Master Feng and Mrs. Feng can return to the main hall from his door, and they can wander in this straight line.

If he went back to the main hall to the left or right, but bumped into Master Feng and Mrs. Feng who were waiting there, it would be bad.

Xie Jinxi thought about it and sat down where she was.

He doesn't have any good choices right now. Rather than acting rashly, he believes in Feng Luoling or Muta, and waits to see if they can break the situation.

……

With his tail, Muta pulled away the first monster that pounced on him. At the same time, he pressed the top of the second monster's head with one hand and clamped his chin with the other hand, and twisted the opponent's head 180 degrees with force.

As the third pounced, Muta's outstretched tail swung back to wrap around it.

The third "Xie Jinxi" was dressed in wedding clothes and had the face most like a real person, but Muta didn't have the slightest "soft tail", his muscles were tightened, and his tail was like a curling machine, which strangled most of its bones.

After Muta turned into a monster, he no longer belonged to human beings in a certain sense. With the help of the contract with Xie Jinxi, he can directly contact and fight with ghosts.

But most of the time, with Xie Jinxi by his side, Muta doesn't need to fight in this way.

Because this method completely treats the symptoms but not the root cause...

The three monsters that were pulled out by him, had their necks broken, and were strangled recovered after a while, and looked at Muta with even more venomous eyes.

They pounced on Muta again, and Muta was thinking while dealing with them.

These three monsters should be the three corpses of Taoist Master Wucao, his apprentice and Uncle Luo.Their resentful souls transformed them into Xie Jinxi's appearance, propping up the corpse to attack him.

But how to crack them?

If Xie Jinxi was by his side, he would be able to solve the problem by directly sharing the three resentful souls' control of their soul cores, but he could only repel these monsters that pounced on them time and time again.

They are tireless and stronger and stronger, but Muta's physical strength is limited.

We must find their flaws...

Muta's eyes flicked to pick up the three coffins, the altar and the brazier.

Is it because no one burns paper money?

But he didn't have any paper money on him, let alone something to start a fire...

No, the brazier and burning paper money can't solve it, then the problem lies in the coffin, the coffin... the coffin...

Muta's expression became serious, and when the first monster rushed up, it was whipped away with its tail again, but this time Muta controlled the direction and strength, allowing it to hit the coffin hard.
