Chapter Twenty: Hard to Turn Back

  Jiang Yunshui saw that these dozen or so characters were also in the same "Zhong Ding Wen" font as before, and this time they were engraved with the intention of saying not to continue going down.

  After understanding the meaning of "Zhong Ding Wen", Jiang Yunshui also didn't plan to go down alone, and now he has walked out a distance, seeing so many strange coffins, satisfying his curiosity.

  When he had walked halfway through the opposite side, he already had the intention of going back. After discovering the "Zhong Ding Wen" on the wall, he was even more shaken. If it weren't for seeing the few coffins hanging in front that were really unique, he might have gone back a long time ago.

  Now seeing the "Zhong Ding Wen" font carved at the bottom of the coffin, he is even more determined that it is absolutely impossible to continue downwards. Now thinking about it also feels a bit eerie.

  Although he had escaped from the bronze gate earlier, seeing the situation here also made him want to rush down along the plank road, but at that time his rationality was still dominant. However, when he entered the "nightmare" and woke up, this feeling of wanting to go down became extremely strong!

  Jiang Fengshui felt a chill run down his spine from time to time, he thought that he had not completely gotten rid of the "nightmare", this thing was still affecting him.

  And the coffins arranged under this plank road are also absolutely unusual. Maybe you can't see what's wrong with them, but you feel like there's something wrong with them.

  Perhaps it's not because he discovered these "ancient texts", but because he understood their meaning, and who knows, he might even convince himself to continue downwards. At that time, what would happen, Jiang Yunshui really didn't know.

  Jiang Fengshui crawled out from under the giant coffin, but not in his original direction, instead he crawled back to where he came from.

  Just as he took a step back, his head buzzed and his vision suddenly went black. If not for the fact that one hand was tightly gripping the protruding stone on the wall and the other hand was clutching the chain railing of the plank road, he would have fallen down in an instant.

  When the buzzing in his head stopped and the blackness before his eyes cleared, Jiang Feng opened his eyes, but his vision was shrouded in mist, as if he had fallen into a sea of clouds!

  Ke Jiang is pregnant and knows that she is still on the tightrope now, and can't move recklessly at all, otherwise it's likely to be "a slip of the foot becomes a thousand years of regret".

  However, Jiang Yunshui didn't want to move, but the cloud and mist in front of him suddenly changed, the whole cloud and mist rolled up, and a running sound appeared in front of him, the sound was like thousands of troops and horses charging.

  When the cloud and mist in front of him had thinned out like blown away, he saw a pair of blood-red eyes, and also saw that black long hair hanging down.

  Among the many red eyes, a figure gradually emerged and walked closer to Jiang Yunshui, and as it approached, Jiang Yunshui's pupils also contracted.

  This thing that came over looked a bit like a wolf, but the head and the hanging fur on its body were unmatched by wolves. Moreover, this thing's pair of blood-red eyes was even more terrifying than the wolf's greenish eyes in the night!

  Jiang Fengshui was terribly afraid, but he told himself that he absolutely could not make a move now. He was currently on the plank road and one misstep would send him tumbling down into the deep abyss below!

  The blood-red-eyed beast that walked out, bared its teeth and made a roaring gesture at Jiang Yunshui, while the countless same kind of beasts behind it, all of which Jiang Yunshui could see now, also made the same movement.

  At this moment, Jiang Yunshui inexplicably felt his body turn icy cold. The countless ferocious beasts at this moment seemed to have condensed into a massive evil aura that was impacting him.

  Moreover, the ferocious beast standing in front suddenly moved and rushed towards Jiang Yunshui. Jiang Yunshui felt that his hand grasping something suddenly exerted force, and his body was tense like a drawn bow.

  Looking at the ferocious beast rushing towards him, Jiang Yunshui did not retreat. He knew that everything now was fake and he also firmly believed that he could get through this.

  However, his conviction began to waver as the countless shadows behind the fierce beast charged towards him simultaneously, like a black torrent that engulfed Jiang Yunshui.

  And this "flood" is a man-eating "flood"! Although the thing that appeared was fake, Jiang Fengshui still followed the fierce beast's charge, suddenly closing his eyes and retreating one step back.

  It was at this time that a shocking and earth-shattering roar appeared in his ears, and these voices seemed to be able to tear Jiang Yunshui apart.

  After Jiang Yunshui took this step, he didn't move again, but a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and even his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

  Jiang Fengshui's mouth was tightly pursed, the veins on his neck and hands bulged out, and his teeth were clenched so hard they creaked.

  His body was not torn apart by those roars, he slowly opened his eyes, the surrounding fog had disappeared, but the scene that reappeared made him lose his mind!

  Not far ahead, a thick, dark smoke billowed up, filling the sky and earth. In this smoke, a mountain peak rose up, but its summit had already disappeared. From there, flames kept spewing out, and from the mouth of the summit, streams of bright red fire flowed out, like rivulets, spreading down the mountain.

  Jiang Feng felt a numbness in his chin, and he stared blankly at the scenery not far away from him. The black smoke was surging towards him, making Jiang Feng feel as if he had smelled the thick smell of smoke.

  In Jiang Feng's ears, as the flames bursting out of the mountain pass grew more frequent and intense, the "rumbling" sound that was like thunder directly beside his ears became increasingly violent.

  Moreover, he saw that in the midst of the black smoke, there seemed to be some villages there, and those villages were extremely familiar!

  That was the village where he lived! The others were also very close to the village where he lived, and in that thunder-like voice, he heard the wailing and sorrowful voices inside the village, but they were powerless to change their fate.

  The sound was filled with despair and injustice towards the heavens, but after that column of fire shot up into the sky from the mountain pass, everything lost its meaning.

  Jiang Fengshui watched all of this, he wanted to rush over there, and he even saw one familiar figure after another being engulfed by the flames spewing out from the mountain pass!

  But he warned himself that he must not move, or all his efforts would be in vain. However, when he saw the woman, his body couldn't help but tremble even more violently, and his foot, which had been nailed to the spot, finally took a slow step forward.

  Jiang Fengshui watched as a stream of fire rushed down from the mountain, directly covering and drowning the woman. Although he knew it was fake, he still roared and wailed: "No! Mother!"

  But what answered him was a dragon of fire rising from the mountain pass, and Jiang's eyes were filled with flames and redness.

  He felt a stinging sensation in his eyes, as if his body was being melted by the flames. The pain lasted only for an instant, but that moment left Jiang Yunshui with a lifelong memory!

  When Jiang Meng opened his eyes again with fatigue, he found himself already kneeling there, looking around in front of him with a somewhat dazed gaze.

  The front is now even more terrifying, the wind seems to be blowing the sky apart, the rain is falling like a string of pearls, and the lightning flashing through the dark clouds is like a snake!

  The dark yellow floodwaters were rushing in all directions towards the riverbank, and he saw those familiar villages reappear once again before being swallowed up by the waters.

  Jiang Yunshui was somewhat numb, he could no longer distinguish whether it was water or tears on his face, he let out a miserable laugh and closed his eyes in despair.

  The flood was like a mighty beast swallowing up the Yangtze River, and then it was as if thousands of great mountains had been piled on top of the river.

  Jiang Fengshui found himself lying there, his heart had always been telling him it was all fake, but with each disaster, his faith gradually loosened.

  This time, what appeared in front of him was a flame that reflected the sky, but within that flame there were mournful cries and screams.

  He recognized that it was where he used to live, but now it was overrun by people wearing armor and riding horses, who were cutting down the locals one by one.

  Moreover, one of them discovered Jiang Yunshui and rushed over, the flashing knife edge slashing towards Jiang Yunshui's head.

  With that triumphant laughter, Jiang Yunshui's head parted ways with his body. He watched as he and the unusually familiar corpse drifted further and further apart, yet was powerless to do anything about it. A wave of exhaustion washed over him instantly.

  Jiang didn't dare to open his eyes, he was afraid that once he opened them, what he saw would gradually erode his faith, causing him to do something reckless.

  This time, however, there was no earth-shattering disaster, nor any cries of killing. Instead, a series of knocking sounds started to ring out, and the sound seemed somewhat familiar to Jiang Fengshui, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

  Jiang Fengshui still opened his eyes, he saw why he felt familiar, because it was a group of monks invited by Pu Du knocking on the wooden fish and reciting scriptures.

  The people kneeling around him were all dressed in mourning attire and crying, and Jiang Yunshui found that many of them looked somewhat similar to himself.

  He saw the coffin placed in the center, and he also saw the spirit tablet in front of it, and he recognized the name on it!
