[Comprehensive] Traveling through Liaozhai with a hundred ghosts

A Yuan continued to walk down the plank road, the cave was quiet, and there were some outside movements coming from the entrance of the cave at first, but as he went deeper and deeper, the light at the entrance of the cave was completely invisible.Everything around is only darkness and silence.

The light on the candlestick can only illuminate a range of about one square meter, which is just enough to illuminate the distance of one step forward.

At the beginning, A Yuan kept his vigilance while walking, but as the surrounding environment remained unchanged, gradually, unconsciously, his nerves gradually became numb.

In the darkness with no reference, the concepts of time and distance also became blurred. After walking for an unknown amount of time, A Yuan finally started to mutter in his heart, realizing that something was wrong with this place.

That's strange... Where does this cave lead to?

A Yuan looked up, but he couldn't see the darkness at the top, and the entrance of the cave was long gone.

Just keep going or turn back?However, when he just had this kind of question, he found that the steps behind him that could go up had disappeared.

It seems that the only thing left is to continue down this road, A Yuan thought to himself.

Although he grew up among monsters, it doesn't mean that A Yuan will no longer be afraid of mysterious things.Fear of the unknown is a common feature of intelligent creatures, because the unknown often means that there may be uncontrollable dangers, so in the evolution of creatures, the instinct has long been engraved with the emotions of dread and fear when facing the unknown.

And this time at the entrance of the cave.

By placing a strand of his own hair in the guard, Xu Hang, who determined the position and teleported here by casting a spell, couldn't help frowning after looking around the entrance of the cave.

It is completely different from what A Yuan saw. What Xu Hang saw was just an ordinary cave. The inner space can be seen at a glance. There is no so-called downward plank road, and there is no bottomless darkness.

Xu Hang saw the situation in the cave at a glance, but he couldn't see A Yuan, so he couldn't help pinching his fingers to calculate A Yuan's position.

Then he quickly discovered that the calculated location was indeed here, he was not mistaken, and there was indeed A Yuan's aura in this cave, but in this cave with an inner space of only about [-] square meters, every time he looked at it, There was no trace of A Yuan anywhere.

This is strange.

Faced with such a situation, after many trials and confirmations, Xu Hang finally thought of a bad situation: A Yuan might have been hidden by God.

The meaning of Shenying is just like the literal meaning, that is, being hidden by gods or monsters.

It is often brought or stepped into an independent space that is staggered from the present world.

The location is indeed correct, A Yuan is here, but what he went to is another space that is in the same place but parallel and staggered.

This is troublesome, Xu Hang thought, although Japan's god system is very primitive and its level is not as high as that of the Celestial Dynasty, but this is their homeland after all, so the gods and monsters here have the advantage of being protected by local rules.

If it is in other places, Xu Hang has many ways to bring A Yuan back, but here in Japan, it is very troublesome to hide from the gods.

Now that the location can be determined, it seems that the space has not been completely sealed, Xu Hang can only hope that A Yuan will not name and eat the things there, otherwise he may not be able to escape.

As for the rest, Xu Hang simply sat down where he was, and then silently recited A Yuan's complete real name.

……

A Yuan continued to walk in the dark, because he couldn't turn back, so he had to go all the way forward.

But soon, he discovered a new problem.

The area illuminated by the candlelight seemed to be getting smaller and smaller. Originally, the steps ahead could still be seen, but gradually, only the feet remained, and later, even the feet became invisible.

If it continues like this, it will be swallowed by darkness, right?

After having such an idea, A Yuan became more and more uncertain.This is the first time he has encountered such a situation.A Yuan has more or less realized that he may have been hit by some kind of magic.

Since it is a technique, there must be a way to crack it, but the premise is to know the purpose of the technique and the method of performing it.

Thinking of the middle -aged man who met himself in the middle of the mountain before, he guided himself here, ah ... it really fell into the circle. Ayan thought of it, but he couldn't complain about others. ...

Forget it, it's useless to say more now that I regret it, so I can only continue walking to see what the purpose is.

The premise is that before he was swallowed by the darkness, A Yuan looked down at his feet, which were no longer illuminated by the candlelight, and thought to himself.

Walking in the boundless darkness without reference is undoubtedly a huge test of personal will.

When Ah Yuan suspected that he didn't know what year and month he was going to, suddenly, a different scene finally appeared in front of him.

A house appeared in the darkness ahead.

Ah Yuan couldn't help being a little surprised when he finally saw something other than pitch black, but this time he was a lot more cautious.

Now that I know that I am trapped in the surgery, everything I see now may be a trap.

After a brief consideration, A Yuan looked at the house in front of him, and finally walked in.

Because the surroundings are pitch black and there is no way to go, it seems that he must be asked to enter this house, so if this is the case, let's go in and see what the caster has arranged!If it can be broken, maybe it will be able to leave this darkness.

A Yuan walked to the door and saw that the door was open and the courtyard was empty.

He knocked on the door, then poked his head in, and said, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone here?"

The courtyard was still silent and no one responded.

A Yuan looked back and saw that there was no way out, so he had to walk through the gate and walk into the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, A Yuan looked around. The inside and outside of the gate were like two worlds. The outside was pitch black, but the inside was brightly lit.

But Ah Yuan remembered the story his father told him when he was a child. The creatures that emit light in nature are often cruel predators. The light is actually there to attract prey.

In retrospect, Ah Yuan felt that the situation was really similar to the current situation... While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the crisp sound of clogs walking on the stone road not far away, as well as the rustling sound of conversation.

When A Yuan was about to walk over there, his arm was grabbed suddenly. Before he could react for a while, he was pulled behind a rock in the courtyard.

A Yuan, who was startled by this sudden situation, reacted and immediately turned his head to break free from the person who had captured him, but when he turned around, he saw a boy who was slightly taller than himself and wearing a fox mask.

The boy quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't make a sound, listen to me first."

For some reason, A Yuan felt that the young man in front of him gave him an inexplicable sense of intimacy.He is not someone who easily develops a good impression of strangers, but the boy in front of him makes him feel trustworthy even though it is only the first time he sees him.

"Remember, don't eat the food here, and don't say your name!"

The young man wearing a fox mask reminded, Ah Yuan became cautious when he heard his tone was very serious, nodded, and firmly remembered his words.

Then the young man looked in the direction of the footsteps, took out a set of clothes from his arms, and said to A Yuan: "They are coming, you quickly change into this set of clothes."

After A Yuan took it, he found that what the other party gave him was a kimono worn by girls.Although he was a little puzzled, A Yuan obediently changed into this clothes quickly.

As soon as he changed, he saw a few women in twelve-piece suits walking to the courtyard at the door.

"Strange, I seemed to hear someone coming in just now."

"Maybe it's a guest who came earlier."

"Oh, hurry up and get ready, or the guests will arrive."

……

The women talked for a while, and soon left in twos and threes on the path.

After they left, the boy said to A Yuan again: "Remember what I just said, and you don't have to worry about someone talking to you later."

A Yuan nodded, the boy in front of him seemed to have come to help him specially, but who was the other party?Why no impression at all?

With such doubts, the boy took his hand and began to walk outside on the small path that the women walked by just now.

After walking a certain distance in the direction of the building, I gradually heard a lot of voices in front of me, and from time to time on the road, a woman like the same as before walked by, and the surroundings began to become lively.

A Yuan looked around, and based on the conversations of the women at the door just now, it is not difficult to think that this mansion is preparing to hold a banquet.

Just as they continued to walk forward, two more women came in front of them. A Yuan originally wanted to follow the fox-faced boy silently as before, but this time something unexpected happened.

One of the women suddenly stopped in front of them, covered her mouth and said, "Oh, this girl is really cute."

The fox-faced boy stopped in his tracks because of this, and A Yuan became nervous, pursing his mouth into a straight line.

Hearing what she said, another woman bent down and looked at A Yuan: "It's true, but she looks like she's afraid of us. Little sister, what's your name?"

With that said, the woman took out the candy, looking very kind.

However, in the face of such a situation, A Yuan couldn't help becoming more nervous and a little at a loss.

"My younger sister Aihua has a shy personality." Just when Ah Yuan didn't know how to reply, the fox-faced boy stood in front of him and said, "I get nervous when I meet strangers, so I don't like to talk much."

"That's it." The woman said regretfully.

"Such a cute child, that adult will definitely like it." The woman who noticed A Yuan first said, "If you can please that adult, there will be a rich reward!"

Neither the fox-faced boy nor A Yuan made a sound. The two women left after talking a few words because they still had something to do.

After they left, the fox-faced boy took A Yuan to continue walking, but after doing this, A Yuan became more and more suspicious.Who is the adult they are talking about?And the name the boy used to introduce him just now, I always feel a little concerned.

"The lord they mentioned just now is the mother of the legendary gods, and a banquet hosted by her will be held here. Although I don't know why you came here, this place is not for the living." No one walked around After the scriptures, this time the fox-faced boy finally explained.

Hearing what he said, Ah Yuan realized that he had walked all the way down just now and came to Huangquan unknowingly.

"Here we are." The fox-faced boy stopped suddenly, and in front of him was a place where the table and tableware had been set up, "When you find a chance to leave the banquet, run forward after leaving the courtyard and don't look back, no matter what happens behind you, don't look back. It’s right to run all the way forward.”

After saying this, many well-dressed people began to arrive at the scene one after another.

Not long after, a chariot also came to the scene. Ah Yuan saw that the people around him looked at the chariot respectfully, and immediately guessed that the person inside was probably the host of the banquet, the gods. Mother, that is, Izanami, the goddess of the underworld.
