At this time, the driver had not reacted yet and was still muttering: “What kind of activity is this…”
Xie Lingya wanted to grab his clothes and yell, we are on the wrong road!
At this time, the other people in the car seemed to feel something was wrong. Why did the roadside seem to be getting darker and darker, and there were many more pedestrians. The faces of these people were also stiff when the vehicles passed by. It can’t be that everyone has injected too much hyaluronic acid, right?
At this time, the bus had a flat tire for no apparent reason, and the driver pulled the bus to the side and stopped. “Sorry, it has a flat tire.”
Someone stood up and asked, “Where is this place, master?”
“My cell phone, why is there no signal on my cell phone?”
“F**k, what’s wrong with these people, their expressions are so weird.”
“I’ve been to the city and Changle Mountain so many times, and I’ve never seen so many people on the road.”
“Don’t stop, master, keep driving!”
As soon as the car stopped, the expressions of the passers-by became more obvious. Some people had already felt something was wrong. Those who were sleeping or playing with their cell phones also woke up one after another, then looking outside, their voices began to tremble, and they asked the driver to keep driving.
Everyone’s cell phone had no signal at all, and the car was filled with a weird atmosphere.
The driver’s forehead was sweating. He had only been driving for a few years. Although he had not encountered it himself, so he did not believe it, but he always heard from the old predecessors about some weird events on the road.
Although he didn’t know what was going on now, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, “I, I drive…”
But he didn’t know what bad luck was entangling him, he just couldn’t start the bus
At this time, the “pedestrians” on the roadside saw the bus stop and gathered around curiously, standing outside the window to look inside. The bus was relatively high, so these people looked up, with dark eyes and white faces, and some even had two patches of highland red, and they smiled stiffly.
They looked curious, but their expressions were weird.
Everyone’s heart chilled. Being stared at like this, screams were stuck in their throats, their legs had gone soft as noodles, and only humming and crying could be heard. But this moment of silence was like a taut string, which might break at any time and explode.
“Please, master, please drive quickly…” No one even wanted to ask what was outside. While a girl cried and asked the driver to drive.
“I want to, too!” The driver said in a collapsed voice. He was also shaking all over, and he didn’t know why this happened.
His words made everyone completely crazy, and screams and cries rang out.
“Everyone, draw the curtains!” Xie Lingya stood up and said, “Keep quiet and don’t talk. We just took the wrong road. We’ll go down and fix the bus and then drive back. It has nothing to do with each other.”
The bus fell silent. Everyone felt uneasy. The young man was so accurate in saying that they took the wrong road. It really was like they took the wrong road!
Although Xie Lingya’s confident voice made everyone feel a little relieved, more of them were still skeptical, “Why should we listen to you?”
“Woo woo woo… I want to go back…”
Xie Lingya knew that this was not the time to argue with people. He pulled Shi Changxuan up, then took out Shi Changxuan’s Taoist robe with a red background and embroidered cranes from his bag, shook it open, and put it on Shi Changxuan, saying respectfully, “Master, please.”
Shi Changxuan: “…”
These Chunnibyou action and words, which made the Taoist robe seem like a battle robe, saved everyone’s mood and they placed all their hopes on them.
Even the driver looked at them with longing: “Little Master, can you repair the bus?”
“I can’t,” Xie Lingya said, “When I said ‘we’, I meant the three of us.”
The driver: “…”
….
All the passengers listened to Xie Lingya and pulled up the curtains. Through the pulled curtains, one could still vaguely see the figures outside, but it was much better than leaving them completely open. Under the pale yellow light in the car, the passengers huddled in the aisle and the seats next to the aisle, not daring to get close to the windows. The curtains on the sides could be pulled up, but there were no curtains at the front of the bus, so everyone could only turn their backs to that side, out of sight, out of mind.
Xie Lingya took a bag and asked someone to pass it to the back to collect the food that everyone was carrying and filled most of the bag in this way.
He walked to the front of the bus with the bag, and a passenger trembled and said, “There was an old lady outside just now, who looked a lot like my neighbor who passed away last year…”
Everyone stared at him, not willing to listen to him reveal this fact.
Xie Lingya was already putting a talisman on the driver. He said calmly, “We are the ones who disturbed them by taking the wrong road, so it’s best not to disturb them further. We will help you calm them down a little bit, and they will think you are one of them. Then we will go and fix the bus, and the two of us will move those ‘people’ away so that they don’t block the road.”
The driver almost peed, “Actually, I’m not that good at repairing cars…”
“Anyway, you have to fix it.” Xie Lingya dragged his hand, exchanged a look with Shi Changxuan, opened the door and dragged the man down, then quickly closed the door. There were hundreds of people gathered under the bus. The driver met a man with a weird smile and conspicuous blush on his cheeks. He almost fainted, but was pushed by Xie Lingya, so he quickly lay down and started to look at the tires.
Xie Lingya turned around and saw that there was a foolish man who was secretly looking down from the gap in the curtains. He glared at him, and the guy quickly retracted his head.
Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan also lowered their anger. These were ghosts who died of normal causes, and they had no intention of harming people. There was no need to be ferocious to them.
The two stood there and started chanting. The ghosts were originally very curious about the living people in the car – that’s for sure, they would be interested in seeing different things, but their interest was not a good thing for the living people, and they would get sick if they accidentally bumped into them.
Fortunately, after the ghosts heard them start chanting, they turned around one by one.
The two of them chanted while backing away, leading them to a place away from the bus. There were still a few who were unwilling to leave and still looked inside through the windows. Xie Lingya used the yellow paper he carried with him to fold ingots to attract them.
Xie Lingya felt that he and Shi Changxuan were like street performers, trying their best to divert the attention of these ghosts to them.
The driver changed the tire tremblingly and crawled under the bus to check if there were any other problems. He couldn’t even ignite the engine just now.
Today was probably the biggest test of his career. He was holding his urine while repairing the bus. He was afraid and uneasy. He was not a professional car repairman, and he was afraid that there would be a problem that he couldn’t solve… Wouldn’t everyone in the bus have to walk back then? Could the two masters withstand it? They looked very young, and although they looked pretty awesome, after all the ghosts had been led away…
Just as he was thinking about it, the driver suddenly felt a chill around him. He turned around and saw a child of about five or six years old, wearing a melon-shaped hat and dressed like a New Year doll, lying next to him, tilting his head to look at him. His face was as white as snow, with two stiff blushes and bright red lipstick.
The driver screamed and rolled to the side.
The people in the bus heard the screams from under the bus and screamed in unison.
The ghosts not far away started to stir again and looked back.
Xie Lingya rushed over, leaving Shi Changxuan alone to stabilize the ghosts. He crawled under the bus and saw that the driver was completely scared to death. There was also a little ghost, who he was not sure if he was not interested in the scriptures, but was now staring at the driver curiously.
Xie Lingya stretched out his hand and forcibly pulled the little ghost out from under the bus.
The driver saw his rough action and said with tears in his eyes: “Can you stay…”
Xie Lingya picked up the little ghost and said: “It’s okay, you can do it, fix it quickly!”
The driver pulled his wet crotch, shed some tears and continued to repair the bus.
Xie Lingya was very considerate and pretended not to notice and just took the little ghost away. The little ghost hugged Xie Lingya’s arm and climbed on him, hanging on him to pinch Liu Lingtong.
Liu Lingtong was anxious, “Don’t, don’t touch me…”
Phytolacca God screamed: “Don’t touch Xie Lingya!”
“Don’t touch my little brother!”
“Come at me, I’ll beat you to death!”
When they reached the Yin Road, Xie Lingya heard them talking, and their voices were actually much louder. He didn’t know what the principle was. As a result, before he got close to Phytolacca God’s face, he also heard its voice, and immediately looked over in surprise: “Little cutie, you…”
This tone, this wording, how come it sounds like a little gangster…
Phytolacca God didn’t notice it yet, and he kept talking about the little ghost and every ghost who dared to stare at it.
At this time, the driver stuck his head out and knocked on the bus with a tool, indicating that he had repaired it.
Xie Lingya immediately opened the bag of food, as well as some gold ingots that he had folded just now, burned the gold ingots, and chanted a spell over the food.
He knew all the rituals of offering food, but now he was in the underworld, and the food was not a proper sacrifice. He took a look at the things inside and made a slight change: “Wangzai milk can relieve the suffering of the three paths, and the instant noodles can relieve the hunger and cold of the nine realms. Tonight, place them in front of the spirits, listen to the scriptures and receive salvation, and offer food to Zhou Long!”
Shi Changxuan: “………………”
In the blink of an eye, the food turned into food that ghosts could enjoy, and pairs of hands stretched out…
Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan took the opportunity to squeeze out, ran back to the front of the bus, dove inside the door, and the driver started the bus, all in one go!
The sound attracted the attention of the ghosts, but they were still fighting for food and didn’t pay any attention.
The driver turned around and drove the bus back.
Xie Lingya stood by the window and lifted the curtain to look. It was just a bag of food, but the ghosts snatched it all in a flash. Some ghosts even followed the bus. Fortunately, the driver drove very fast and they couldn’t catch up. It was just a little scary.
The passengers were all worried and just wanted to escape from this place quickly.
After a while, they saw the bridge. The red light was drifting lonely in the wind, and there were still ghosts crossing the bridge.
Xie Lingya said, “We must go back the same way, Master, and drive to Yang Bridge.”
The driver almost understood what he meant. He got dizzy when he got on the wrong bridge, but now his eyes couldn’t be blurred. He couldn’t see where Yang Bridge was no matter how hard he looked.
Seeing the ghosts here also began to approach curiously, Xie Lingya was anxious, “Brother, what should we do?”
“Don’t stop, drive to the middle and look carefully.” Shi Changxuan said hurriedly, his hands clasped together in yin and yang, offering incense in front of him, “One stick of soul-returning incense leads to the three realms. Use both hands to clear the road of life and death, and one foot to jump out of the gate of hell… Drive!”
The driver felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the bridge seemed to have a double image again. He stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the bridge without a red light!
Once on the stone bridge, it suddenly became clear.
The sound of cicadas and the river was endless, the street lights seemed to be brighter, and a car could be seen coming not far away.
The driver stopped the bus, raised his hand and looked, only to feel that both hands were shaking. He heard the passengers behind him crying and laughing, full of joy after surviving a disaster.
….
Xie Lingya also breathed a sigh of relief. They were back.
Oh, now it’s time to talk about the problem of this little guy.
Xie Lingya turned around and suddenly approached Phytolacca God and said: “On the Yin Road just now, I heard everything.”
Phytolacca God: “………………”
What should I do, will it, will it no longer be a little cutie? QAQ?
