Chapter 3: A Thousand Years Under the Lethe River

Just when Yan Luo sighed at the other party's cultivation, the female ghost had already rioted, and she was inseparable from the crowd of yin.

"Bold!"

"No mercy!"

Just when the female ghost and Yin Cha were fighting, a black mist instantly enveloped the entire Huangquan Road.

A white light flashed, and a white mourning stick swept out of the black mist without warning.

With a bang, the female ghost in red was knocked hundreds of meters away, and it only stopped when it hit the black wood at the head of the bridge, and the whole body loomed, obviously hurting the origin, and the injury was not light.

"Huh?"

From the black fog came the sound of Bai Impermanence's exclamation.

Obviously, he was also surprised that his blow did not make this ghost fly away, although the blow just now had not exerted half of the force, but it was not something that ordinary ghosts could parry.

The black fog gradually sank and slowly condensed, revealing the true face of black and white impermanence.

I saw the black and white impermanence looking at the female ghost in red who fell to the ground with a languishing face, and raised her hand to slap her to death.

"Wait!"

Just when the angry slap was about to slap the female ghost's soul away, Yan Luo suddenly jumped out and stopped in front of the red-clothed ghost.

"Yan Luo, if you don't go back to the Yang Realm immediately, what are you doing here to stop me?" Bai Wuchang asked.

"Lord Impermanence, can you take a step to speak? Yan Luo bowed down and quietly squeezed his eyes at Bai Impermanence.

Bai Wuchang was puzzled in his heart, but he still shouted: "Come on, detain this ghost first." ”

"Yes. ”

Seeing a group of yin errands taking the female ghosts away, Bai Wuchang and Yan Luo came to the side where there were no ghosts and said, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"There is no mercy for killing!" Black Impermanence also echoed on the side.

"Big brother and second brother, this ghost cultivation is very unusual, it's a pity to kill it like this, I'm about to return to the yang world, it's better for me to take it away and help catch those fugitive evil ghosts, so as to atone for my sins, wouldn't it be better, those evil ghosts on the list, it is inevitable that there will be a few extremely vicious, if this ghost helps, it can not only improve the success rate of capture but also shorten the capture time, what do you think?" Yan Luo whispered.

Seeing that there was still a look of hesitation on the black and white impermanence face, Yan Luo continued: "The two elder brothers, don't hesitate anymore, it's a big deal to wait until you get to the yang world, I'll find a better paper shop, burn some money for the two elder brothers, cigarettes and sports cars, and burn a few foreign girls for the two elder brothers."

"Foreign girl?" Black and white impermanence's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he glanced at each other and thought for a moment.

Bai Wuchang coughed lightly and said: "This ghost cultivation is acceptable, your proposal is also somewhat reasonable, but you can let the ghost go privately, if this matter is investigated, our brothers will not be able to explain, it is better to do this, I will give this ghost a position of nominal yin, and then also give you an idle position as a supervisor of the underworld, and say to the outside world that the two of you are ordered to go to the yang world to catch the evil ghost, so that when Yan Jun returns, we will also explain." ”

After speaking, Bai Wuchang waved his hand, and saw a small black sign appear in his hand.

"This is a token of the Overseer of Hades, and you should take it first. Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "With this thing, you can communicate with us at any time, the function is similar to your mobile phone in the yang world, in addition, I have recorded the breath of those evil spirits on this order, once you get close to them, this order will give you warnings and reminders, but it is just convenient for you to find." ”

Yan Luo took this card, only felt that it was cold in his hand, very weighty, I don't know what kind of material, the back was engraved with runes that Yan Luo did not know, and a red word "prison" was written on the front.

After handing over the Supervision Order to Yan Luo, Bai Wuchang waved his palm, and two more things appeared in his hand, one was a scroll and a small black cloth bag.

"I forgot to give you this thing just now, this scroll is a list of fugitive ghosts, it contains the introduction and name of the ghost, once you catch it, use your own blood to tick off the name of the ghost, and the captured ghost will be sucked into the scroll, and this bag is called Qiankun Bag, which is a world of its own, and it is also a rare magic weapon, it is a parting gift from our two brothers, and all your personal belongings can be stored in it" Bai Wuchang said.

After that, Bai Wuchang taught Yan Luo how to use these three things respectively, and then turned into black mist and drifted away.

Yan Luo couldn't wait to operate the Qiankun bag according to the method that Bai Wuchang taught him, and then a white picture appeared in his mind, which was the internal space of the Qiankun bag.

It was about sixty square meters in size, and this feeling was very strange, Yan Luo's eyes could clearly see the outside world, but he could still see the scene inside the Qiankun bag in his mind.

With a thought in his mind, the Demon List Scroll and the Supervision Order in Yan Luo's hand disappeared from his hand in an instant, and when Yan Luo explored the Qiankun bag again, these two items had already entered the space inside the bag.

"It's really a good baby!" Yan Luo said with a smile, with this Qiankun bag, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient, everything can be stored with just one thought, if this trick is used to make magic, even the world's top magic masters can't crack it.

......

On the Huangquan Road, Yan Luo hummed a little song and walked comfortably, while the red-clothed ghost looked at Yan Luo's cynical back, and did not speak, just followed quietly.

It wasn't until the two of them walked to the entrance to the yang world that the red-clothed ghost finally opened his mouth.

"Why did you save me? The voice of the red-clothed ghost was very hoarse, still without the slightest emotion, cold.

Yan Luo stopped and turned around, looked at the female ghost's long hair covering her face, and said with a smile: "I saved you, first, because I need you, and secondly, just because of curiosity, judging from your cultivation and evil spirit, it is obvious that you have slaughtered a lot of living beings in your lifetime, which will cause the soul clothes transformed by the laws of the underworld to turn into a bright red color like blood, such a sin, you can actually escape the eyes and ears of the Judgment Hall and the Judge Palace, and you have not been sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, what method did you use to avoid the criminal law?"

You must know that people and ghosts have different paths, and the two worlds of yin and yang have their own rules and laws, and the souls of people in the yang world leave their bodies after death, and then enter the Huangquan Road to become yin souls.

The biggest difference between the soul and the yin soul is that the so-called soul is an energy that can stay in the yang world, and will not be bound by the laws of heaven and earth in the yang world, until there is a yin difference to hook the soul before entering the underworld.

Then he will be marked by the laws of the underworld on the Huangquan Road and become a yin ghost.

The so-called mark is the clothes worn by the yin soul, that is, the soul clothes, and for those who are not guilty, the soul clothes are white after death, and the closer the color is to red, the greater the sin.

From low to high, it can be roughly divided into white, yellow, orange, red, and four colors.

Essentially, the soul is a being that arises independently after death from the innate body.

Therefore, if you are born with incompleteness, you cannot be reincarnated, and only if you are marked with the unique mark of the underworld and put on the soul clothes to become a ghost after becoming a yin soul, you can have the opportunity to be reincarnated.

After the soul becomes a yin soul, it needs to go through the judgment hall first, and then enter the judgment hall.

Those who have made great mistakes will be sentenced twice by the hands of the ten halls of Yama, and then enter the eighteenth layer of hell to suffer.

After the expiration of the penal period, he wears criminal labor, and after accumulating merits, he changes the color of his soul clothes.

Until the soul clothes turn white, they can be judged by the Judge's Palace, and the heavens, people, Shura, evil ghosts, beasts, hells, and re-enter the six realms of reincarnation.

And the hall of judgment, as a checkpoint for judging the yin soul in the underworld, is naturally extremely important.

All marked ghosts will be recorded in the Inquisition.

In other words, once a spirit enters the underworld, the Judgment Hall will be the first to notice it and send a messenger to escort it to the Judgment Palace.

But this ghost cloak is still bright red as blood, obviously not tried and punished, this situation is rare.

After listening to Yan Luo's words, the red-clothed ghost was silent for a long time.

After a long time, he said faintly: "I don't know, my memory is incomplete, I only remember that there is a man, he sent me here, let me wait for him to come back, but a thousand years, he has never come back, maybe only he knows what my lost memory is, I want to go out to find him." ”

Although the female ghost's memory is broken, she also knows gratitude.

If it weren't for Yan Luo, she would probably have died under Bai Wuchang's hands just now, so she didn't hide Yan Luo's doubts and problems.

Hearing this, Yan Luo looked at the female ghost thoughtfully, she was actually sent by a man, and the man asked the female ghost to wait for him in the underworld, could it be that she was martyred because of love?

As a result, the man ran away from the battle, leaving his woman behind to live in the world?

But it shouldn't be, the female ghost has been dead for a thousand years, and even if that man can live, he can't live for more than a thousand years in the yang world.

It stands to reason that Yang Shou is exhausted and should come to the underworld, is the other party a cultivator? But how did this female ghost avoid judgment and hide in the underworld for a thousand years?

"Where were you hiding in the underworld before?" Yan Luo asked curiously.

"Nai Lethe River Hanoi under the bridge. The female ghost said in a faint voice.

"What?!You've been hiding in the Lethe River for a thousand years!" Yan Luo's eyes widened in shock, his face in disbelief.

However, under the bridge, the river is red and yellow, and the evil atmosphere is pervasive all year round, and the river water has no buoyancy.

Even throughout the ages, the great supernatural beings who flew across the air could not fly over the water of the Lechuan River, and once they stepped on, they would be swallowed up by the river, and they would fall forever and sink forever, and they could not break free unless they were forced to break free.

Countless unjust ghosts and ancient and modern powers are buried inside.

It is said that many years ago, the underworld was established, and the first Yan Jun was amazed by the strange horror of the Lechuan River, and hereby built the Nai He Bridge.

In order to allow dead ghosts and yin spirits to cross the river to reach the other side, they must cross the bridge if they want to cross the river.

And since ancient times, no one and no ghost knows where the water of the Lethe River comes from, but the fear and awe of it have been passed down by word of mouth.

No ghost in the underworld dares to go down the river easily, it is simply self-defeating.

Yan Luo couldn't have imagined how this powerful ghost, who was only a little strong in cultivation, had been hiding in the waters of the Lechuan River for more than a thousand years.

How did it get out of the waters of the Lethe River?

If what the female ghost said is true, then the reason why she was able to escape the supervision hall for a thousand years is the answer.

Not to mention that the mystery of the Wanchuan River is unknown, even if the Judgment Hall knew that there were such a powerful ghost in the Lechuan River, it would never go to the Lechuan River to arrest her, let alone believe that she was still alive!

Thinking of this, Yan Luo's eyes as he looked at the female ghost became more and more curious.

Seeing Yan Luo's surprised gaze, the female ghost nodded lightly and did not answer.

Seeing the female ghost's reaction, although Yan Luo didn't believe it, he had no reason to deceive him when he thought of this ghost, and he couldn't help but gasp again.

Then he asked again, "Then how did you get out of the Lethe River?"

"I don't know, I was pulled out by an inexplicable force. The red-clothed ghost said in a hoarse voice, uncertain.

For the first time, there was some emotion in the tone, obviously even she herself was a little unclear, so if she hadn't been pulled out of the Lethe River by that strange force, the female ghost might not be able to leave alone in this life.

"Inexplicable strange power?"

Yan Luo pondered for a moment, and after thinking for a long time to no avail, he could only put this matter aside for the time being, but he was already interested in this matter, and he would inevitably want to investigate the truth if he had the opportunity in the future.

"Don't mention this matter for the time being, you first return to the yang world with me, today you killed the yin cha, according to the law of the underworld is a capital crime, this time the black and white impermanence is willing to leave you alive is completely out of my feelings, I hope you cherish it, don't have evil thoughts, the reason why you let you return to the yang world with me, presumably the black and white impermanence has also been explained to you, as long as you can help me catch those evil ghosts who escaped from the underworld, you can wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, get rid of this body of guilt, as for the man you are looking for, this matter has passed for more than a thousand years, the vast sea of people, mountains and rivers change, the difficulty is much higher than that of finding a needle in a haystack, but I promise you, I will take this matter to heart, and try my best to help you find his tracesI hope you can help me with all my might, understand. Yan Luo said in a flat voice.

He wasn't actually worried that the female ghost would change halfway.

Because black and white impermanence has already placed a ban in the soul of the female ghost, once the female ghost does evil, Yan Luo only needs one thought to launch the ban and make her disappear.

But Yan Luo is afraid that this ghost is a strong character, if he would rather burn the jade than compromise with himself, then it will be troublesome, if it has to be, Yan Luo does not want to hurt him.

After hearing Yan Luo's words, the female ghost did not immediately agree, obviously weighing the pros and cons, and after hesitating for a long time, the female ghost finally spoke: "I will help you in this matter, and I hope you can fulfill your promise." ”

"Of course, it's a deal. Yan Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the entrance of the yang world not far ahead, Yan Luo turned his head to look at the female ghost again and said: "Let's go, in the past thousand years, the yang world has developed rapidly, and there are many interesting things, when you get out, I will take you to take a walk." ”
