Vol 2 Chapter 18: Fear of Doom!

"Don't stop, they are watching you and keep going." Jian Ling's voice sounded.
Gu Qingshan knew.
He followed the uphill road towards the entrance of the palace.
At this moment, he lost all his strength and couldn't even make a sound transmission, but the sword spirit of the six delimiting excaliburs took the initiative to establish telepathy with him.
Sword spirit-seems to be sensing something, quickly said: "It turned out to be a palace of fear, and you can't resist it with your power-the situation is extremely dangerous, you will be eaten at any time!"
Gu Qingshan's expression remained unchanged, and he asked quietly, "What shall I do? Wait, do you know what happened in the past?"
Sword Spirit said: "I don't know."
"I'll tell you everything that happened recently?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"No, it's too late," Jian Ling said quickly. "You can save all my sword body fragments, and I will help you first."
Rustling.
The surroundings were so quiet that there was no trace of the wind, only Gu Qingshan's footsteps could be heard.
There was no one on the road, and nothing strange came out of the way.
-Not far from the palace.
The sword's voice was more urgent:
"My power is almost exhausted and I'm going to sleep again."
"Hold this."
"No one can help you, and I can only do a modest amount of strength-if you can survive in the palace of fear, we will always have a chance to meet again."
Sword Spirit's voice stopped abruptly.
At the same time, Gu Qingshan suddenly felt that there was something cold in his hand.
Instead of looking down, he walked forward calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Lines of scarlet prints quickly appeared in the void:
"You got the Shard of the Delimited Excalibur (1)."
"This shard contains a special power: God of Secretary."
"Sir: You can die at any time until you want to be resurrected."
Gu Qingshan moved.
This ability ... seems to have a certain meaning ...
He thought as he walked, and soon reached the masonry road.
The road enclosed by the two palace walls is not long, and after walking quickly, a floating paper emerges in front of it.
Gu Qingshan looked up and saw that on the paper:
"The Palace of Fear."
"Those who enter this palace will lose their body and soul as soon as they feel fear."
"Special Note:"
"Without good cause, you cannot refuse to fear anything in the palace, otherwise your body and soul will be confiscated by the palace."
Gu Qingshan had just finished reading, and the piece of paper suddenly burned.
The difficulty has increased.
It was just that we couldn't be afraid, but now we have one more. We can't refuse anything unless there is a valid reason.
Gu Qingshan thought secretly.
Suddenly, the surrounding scene changed.
The whole world has disappeared.
Gu Qingshan turned around and found himself standing on the side of the road, behind a hill-like tomb.
The carriage with four skeleton horses squeaked before him.
The door opens.
A skull holding a long whip turned his head and looked at Gu Qingshan.
"Get in the car, I'll take you to town." Skeleton said.
Gu Qingshan looked at it, and looked behind him—
Behind the skeletons sat a circle of skeletons, and these skeletons stared at Gu Qingshan.
There was only one empty iron seat left.
There was charcoal fire under this seat, and the entire iron seat was burnt red.
On the seat, there were several sharp green swords.
Several black snakes with flying wings resemble flies, flying back and forth around the seat.
If you sit down, don't even think about living.
Gu Qingshan groaned, trying to find a legitimate reason to reject the other side, but the skeleton driver spoke up first:
"Only this carriage was allowed to enter the town. If you miss this carriage, you will be swallowed up by darkness here."
"Come up."
Gu Qingshan was speechless.
I saw the darkness pouring from the distance, and it seemed that this area would be shrouded at any time.
No matter how legitimate the reason is, it's bigger than life. The other party has blocked all his retreats.
Is it really necessary to sit in that seat?
But is there any valid reason not to get in the car? Not sitting in that seat?
Gu Qingshan took a moment of silence and pulled out a long bow from behind.
"Robbery."
He spit out two words.
The voice dropped, and a thunderous roar sounded from the longbow.
Gu Qingshan's hands were like the afterimage. With only one breath, he shot the arrows in the quiver behind him.
Wow!
The bones were broken by the arrows and shattered to the ground.
All the skeletons of a car were dead.
Gu Qingshan sighed.
This is just coming in, these guys are relatively weak, so this effect can be achieved.
Now that his own strength is blocked, what if he can't beat him?
He looked up and saw the darkness in the sky getting closer.
There seemed to be something creeping in the darkness.
Gu Qingshan no longer hesitated, strode on the carriage, picked up the whip from the floor, and yanked it towards the horse in front.
"drive!"
The carriage slowly moved.
A line of scarlet prints appeared in the void:
"You replaced the driver with a valid reason for 'robbing.'"
Gu Qingshan glanced and chuckled: "Interesting ..."
Four skeleton horses ran their hooves and took the carriage far from the darkness.
...
"Are you going well?" Asked a driver-like man.
"Good." Gu Qingshan said.
The other party may think of himself as a colleague before coming up to talk.
Gu Qingshan jumped out of the carriage and looked out of the town.
I saw that the outside of the town was completely shrouded in darkness, and various whistling sounds came from the darkness, accompanied by a heavy roar.
Even standing in the small town, you can feel the fierce breath in the darkness.
Gu Qingshan felt quietly for a moment, and made a rough judgment in his heart.
If you want to survive, you have to stay in the town.
The coachman greeted, "It's been a whole day, let's go and go to the bar for two drinks."
"Okay." Gu Qingshan answered.
There was no place to go for a while, just to take this opportunity to stay, and slowly find a way to see how to get out of this palace of fear.
The two sent the carriage to the carriage, walked along the street, and stopped at a corner.
There is a quiet bar here.
With candles on the bar, several customers were chatting slowly while drinking.
Gu Qingshan and the driver entered and sat down at the bar.
"I'm so bored," the driver complained.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"Give us two good glasses of wine, don't add water!" The driver called out.
The bartender was a young man with a beard and a pale face, and immediately after he greeted him, he began to prepare wine.
The driver sighed and said, "Today is my birthday. I wanted to rush back to the village and celebrate with my wife and children, but I encountered a mountain road collapse. I can't go back now."
Gu Qingshan followed him and said, "This is really annoying, it's too much delay."
"The wine is ready."
The bartender gently put two glasses of wine in front of the two.
The driver raised his glass and said loudly, "Come, I'll treat you tonight, how about my brother to have a drink with me?"
Gu Qingshan said: "Happy birthday to you!"
He glanced into their glasses.
I saw dense, colorful bugs floating in the wine glass.
The driver drank it, drank the cup, and said, "I'll do it first!"
Gu Qingshan looked at the coachman.
I saw that the muscles on the driver's face were extremely twisted, and the worms kept digging out of his eyes and back into his ears, nose, and mouth.
His appearance quickly changed and he became a monster with a parasite crawling on his face.
"Brother, don't you wish me happy birthday? Why haven't you drunk?"
The monster came out.
Gu Qingshan was silent, and had to raise his glass.
The monster grinned, "That's right. Drinking this glass of wine is a complete birthday wish."
Gu Qingshan held a wine glass and suddenly said, "I can't drink this wine."
The monster stood up and yelled, "Why? You give me a reason."
All the other people suddenly came around and surrounded Gu Qingshan.
All of a sudden, black mist surged like a snake, tangling around him.
A cold breath blew from the black mist, almost freezing Gu Qingshan into a moraine.
A line of scarlet prints appeared quickly:
"Justify the right reasons for refusing alcohol, or your body and soul will be confiscated by the palace of fear!"
"be quick!"
Gu Qingshan glanced calmly and said, "I have to leave at night."
"What does this have to do with blessings to me?" The monster cried.
Gu Qingshan said positively: "If you want to live long, don't drink while driving."
He lowered the wine glass gently.
boom! !! !!
The dark fog surrounding him disappeared.
Those onlookers suddenly returned.
The monster was stinging in place, pointing Gu Qingshan with his fingers, and for a moment did not know what to say.
Suddenly, the bartender nudged the table lightly.
"This gentleman--"
He placed a delicate little cake in front of Gu Qingshan and said, "There is a dim sum from you over there."
Not far away, a charming young woman came out in front of Gu Qingshan.
"You said you don't drink," the young woman said.
"Yes, don't drink when driving, don't drive when drinking." Gu Qingshan said.
"So I'll send you a piece of cake, I hope you don't refuse." The young woman said.
Gu Qingshan raised the cake plate with interest and looked at it.
I saw two human ears on the cake, embellished with five fingers.
The finger was completely black, and it seemed to be rotten.
Gu Qingshan picked up a small fork, gently inserted it on the cake, and asked:
"I'm touched, but why would you send me a cake?"
The young woman gave her a wink, and said softly, "Brother, I think of you. Who knows that you don't even drink wine, and they have to send you cakes."
People are looking to Gu Qingshan.
The black mist that had just disappeared boiled again, gradually covering Gu Qingshan.
The young woman's complexion gradually grew darker and thicker, and her voice grew thicker and thicker: "Come on, brother, this cake represents my heart."
Gu Qingshan threw the cake back to the bar.
"Want to come here to chat with a junk cake? I'm very expensive." He was dismissive.
