Chapter 126: The Underworld
The easiest and most direct way for souls to survive in the world for a long time is for future generations to worship themselves.
This is also why there were many ancestor worship activities in ancient times, in addition to Qingming, there are also winter solstice, even Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., will worship ancestors.
As for the Spring Festival every year, it is no exception.
The purpose is not to be forgotten.
Of course, if you enter the underworld and re-enter reincarnation, you will have no such influences, and it is equivalent to a new beginning.
But there are always some people who are full of memories of their lives, and they don't want to be erased and re-enter reincarnation.
Because He Sihai took over the task, it was equivalent to establishing a contractual relationship with Lao Wei.
But after all, this kind of contract is led by He Sihai, so he has a lot of rights that the contracted person does not know.
Therefore, he can easily see whether the old trick is lying or not, which is also a measure to prevent the receiver from being deceived.
However, the usherer in the old trick's mouth, He Sihai always feels a little different from him.
Because the people in the mouth of the old trick went to pick up, they were all sent by the king.
Of course, as a guide, you will also receive some benefits as a reward.
Half of these remunerations are generally kept by oneself and half will be handed over.
But it's usually money or some strange things.
Money can make ghosts grind, but it's not just a simple talk.
Sun Monkey went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, and the Buddha asked for money, so He Sihai didn't think there was anything, and he couldn't let people do it in vain.
Lao Wei said that about a few hundred years ago, he finally sent a trickster who didn't know whether it was surnamed Zhang or Li to the world, and he never saw a trickster come back.
Because he didn't have a soul-attracting lamp and couldn't return to the underworld, he had been trapped on the banks of the Lethe River for hundreds of years.
For hundreds of years, He Sihai felt that if he was trapped by this desolate Lechuan River, it was estimated that he would go crazy without jumping into the Lechuan River.
But Lao Wei looked relaxed and cheerful, He Sihai admired it very much in his heart, and at the same time ......
However, the two are now in a "contractual" relationship, and they are not afraid of any bad intentions from him.
He Sihai looked at Xuanxuan who was standing at the bow of the boat.
Xuanxuan carried the lantern and frowned slightly at the gray mist in the air.
Those gray mist seemed to be alive, and they were afraid of the light of the soul-attracting lamp like a snake and scorpion, rolling and dodging in all directions, and some who could not dodge were immediately melted away by the light emitted by the soul-attracting lamp.
The Lechuan River didn't seem to be wide, but He Sihai silently calculated in his heart, and Lao Wei at least shook the oars for more than an hour before they reached the other side.
When he got ashore, he was extremely surprised by the scene in front of He Sihai, the entire underworld field was almost no different from the human world.
However, the fields are planted with some plants that He Sihai does not know.
In the bright moonlight, there is a feeling of vitality.
"I haven't seen it in years. The old man said with emotion.
He Sihai glanced at him and asked, "I'm going to do something, and I'll see you here when I get back." ”
He Sihai was not ready to take him with him.
The old stranger nodded, looked into the distance and said, "I'll go back too, I haven't been back for a long time, and those who know each other are estimated to have been reincarnated." ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked along a strange path, and his back was indescribable.
He Sihai didn't call him, turned around and walked towards another road with Xuanxuan.
Along the way, although there were many fields around, there was no sound of mosquitoes and frogs, and the silence was terrifying.
Only a strange wind blew through the air, whirling, blowing and causing the plants in the field to sway and scatter some pollen-like things.
Xuanxuan quietly slowed down, and He Sihai walked up to her and grabbed her little hand.
"How far is it?" He Sihai asked in a low voice.
It is especially loud in the silent fields.
"It's not far away, it's just ahead. Xuanxuan pointed ahead with a light pole.
The two of them seemed to walk very slowly, but in fact, they were tricks, their whole bodies were light, one step at a time, extremely fast, and they had already traveled a long way in this moment.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I finally came across a village.
What surprised He Sihai was that this village was somewhat similar to Hejia Village.
He Sihai looked at a small slope at the easternmost end of the village, and there was indeed a house on the small slope.
"Is it there?" He Sihai asked Xuanxuan.
In fact, he was basically sure in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a rattle of "jingle bell, jingle bell".
He followed the bell and looked, it turned out to be an ox cart, speeding in Tian Mo, extremely fast.
And the sound was made by the bell around his neck.
"Moo. ”
The sound of the cow was like thunder, and it spread far and wide.
But the whole village was still quiet and unaffected.
And the ox cart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"It's weird. He Sihai pulled Xuanxuan and walked towards the small slope.
After all, it is not reality, although the village is a bit similar to Hejia Village, but it is different after all.
When I got up to the slope, I saw that the slope was full of unknown flowers, but I couldn't smell the slightest fragrance.
And the houses on the small slope look very old, unlike the brick houses in reality, all wooden, and the style is simple.
He Sihai stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.
"Who?" said a familiar voice.
"Grandma, it's me. He Sihai shouted.
"Four seas?" the voice inside was a little frightened.
Then the door was opened, and grandma appeared in front of He Sihai, and the familiar voice and appearance made He Sihai's heart full of excitement.
"Sihai, why did you get here, Peaches?" asked Grandma nervously.
"Grandma, don't worry, I'm fine, and so are Peaches. He Sihai suppressed the excitement in his heart and hurriedly explained.
"Yes, look at me, I'm really confused, you're not an ordinary person now. Grandma muttered.
"But why are you here?" asked Grandma.
"Today is Momoko's birthday, she misses you, I want to take you back and let her meet. "He Sihaidao.
At the same time, he looked into the house, and wondered why he didn't see He Tao and Liu Xiaojuan.
"Don't look at it, your father and your mother have already been reincarnated. Grandma saw what he was thinking and explained.
"Reincarnated?" He Sihai was a little disappointed, thinking that he would be able to meet them.
"You shouldn't come to the netherworld for this little thing, after all, people and ghosts have different paths, so it's better to let Peaches forget about it slowly. Grandma was a little complaining.
"Peaches is still young, let's talk about it when she's a little older. "He Sihaidao.
Grandma sighed and looked at Xuanxuan who was looking at her with a curious face.
He Sihai hurriedly introduced Xuanxuan to her.
"What a lovely little girl, come in first. "Grandma let them in.
He Sihai entered the house, and a candle was lit inside, but the color was not yellow, but red.
But also because of this candle flame, the house is clearly visible, He Sihai took a look, antique, very old-fashioned.
"This is a house built by the ancestors of the He family, and generations of people will come here when they die, and then go to reincarnation. Grandma explained.
"Grandma, are you alone?" He Sihai asked.
Grandma nodded, when she came, her wife, son and daughter-in-law had already been on the reincarnation platform, and she was the only one left in a house in Nuoda.
"On the reincarnation platform, it is no longer the He family. Grandma muttered, looking a little lonely.
When she also goes to the reincarnation platform, this place will be completely empty.
