Chapter 1290 Crossroads
There is no turning back when carrying coffins, they only have one chance to choose.
"Only one of these three roads is real, and the other two are deceptions. The ghost stands with two feet on the ground, uses the yin energy on his body to affect the terrain, and modifies our senses."
According to Yuan Shanyuan, the current scene is similar to the ghost hitting the wall last time. The two extra roads 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 can certainly do it." 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 a cloth bag wrapped with fire folds and incense. "Mr. Yuan, I will ask you to join me in taking action later. I can't trust these young men."
"Okay." Yuan Shanyuan also knew the current situation and agreed simply.
Later, Luo Tianhe turned his head and his eyes lingered on Lin Qianqian and Li Bai. Lin Qianqian, who was already 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 of them took out three incense sticks from Luo Tianhe's cloth bag and took them again. A chopstick was handed over, and the nine incense sticks were gathered together and ignited with a fire stick, 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 in the direction of the coffin.
Luo Tianhe chose the path 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 sticks of incense. The moment the incense was 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, held chopsticks with their right hands, and tapped the rim of the bowl.
The crisp knocking sound echoed in the night, which was indescribably weird.
The four people who were still standing next to the coffin suddenly felt a gust of 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 fire shivered with coldness.
The next second, the fat man held his breath, his eyes filled with 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 was walking 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, without disrupting his rhythm.
"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 Shunyu finished speaking, Luo Tianhe stood up suddenly, followed by Yuan Shanyuan. Both of them had ugly expressions. They lowered their heads and stared at the three incense sticks 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 fragrance should avoid two short and one long.
As Luo Tianhe and Yuan Shanyuan threw away the chopsticks and ran back, Li Bai no longer persisted. She saw her break the chopsticks with both hands, then circled around and returned quickly.
Seeing that Li Bai came back safe and sound, Jiangcheng fat man 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 the matter was 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 by 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 fine, 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 began to tremble 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.
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, the 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, and I heard no 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 seeing a big stone. On the right side, there is also a tree that was struck by lightning, 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 clearly fine." Lin Qianqian suddenly panicked.
"The issue we are talking about has nothing to do with incense. I am just saying 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 useful people.
"Back...back!"
Lin Qianqian turned her head, her expression instantly frozen on her face. She saw an intersection appearing out of thin air about 20 meters behind them, extending out to the first three roads on the left and right.
The stoneware bowl placed in front of the intersection is very eye-catching.
