Chapter 435: On the Bridge, Under the River

It is independent of the world and has its own world.

The world of the dead may seem dark and chaotic at first glance, but in fact it has its own set of orders and laws.

In essence, the pyramidal structure of Xudu is far more obvious and solidified than that of the human world.

At the top of the pyramid is not the titular controller of Xudu, the Emperor Xudu, but the set of order and laws that govern the cycle of life and death.

Without the Emperor Xudu, the entire underworld might have fallen into turmoil, but normal operation would not be a major problem.

But once this set of laws collapses, not only will the entire underworld be completely chaotic, but even the human world will be seriously affected.

Therefore, no matter how many dead people come in and out of the capital, and how many batches of helmsmen are changed in the middle, only this set of iron-clad rules remains unchanged for eternity.

Under the law, it is the master of the underworld headed by the Emperor Xudu.

The gold content of the public servants in the capital is undoubtedly more than any iron rice bowl in the human world, as long as it is registered, it is the official yin god and ghost immortal, and he is born to be a head higher than other revenants.

And at the bottom of the pyramid are the ordinary souls with the largest base.

These souls are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the dried shrimp, and the dried shrimp only has the share to be eaten.

Unless there is a phenomenon of destroying the "ecological chain", or the big fish is vainly trying to overturn the fishing boat and swallow the fisherman's cross-line behavior, the public servants of the underworld, as managers, do not have the time or leisure to rescue a small fish or even a small shrimp.

……

Xuanwei entered the capital not his primordial infant or soul, but just a divine sense.

Falling in the eyes of those souls with ulterior motives, it is like a perfect tonic pill, and the eyes are so red that they can't do it.

And because Xuan Wei is still a living being, his divine consciousness is also a yang god, and it is no less dazzling than a sun in the dark night.

No, the surrounding souls frantically flocked to Xuanwei's side like moths that saw the firelight.

If it weren't for the fear of the breath of the Yin and Yang Walking Order, I was afraid that some bold souls would have already rushed to pounce.

For a while, the scene became a large group of undead souls surrounding Xuanwei moving forward, and the revenants on the outside were crowded together, but the area close to Xuanwei was vacant in the internal test, but there was a "ghost-free circle".

Xuanwei took a step forward, and the huge group of ghosts moved together, like the picture of the fans in the yang world when they surrounded the stars.

Seeing the shadow of a bluestone bridge in the distance, Xuanwei hurriedly moved towards that side, not daring to linger at all.

Now just close to the area of the gate of the capital has already attracted so many souls, and if you continue to go deeper, you will inevitably attract more souls. At that time, Xuan Wei was not sure that the yin and yang walking order that could deter the small shrimp would still have an immediate effect on the larger and larger fish.

Chi Ze changed, and Xuanwei's divine consciousness turned into a streamer, and quickly flew towards the bluestone bridge that was getting clearer and clearer.

Not long after, Xuan Wei saw a ghostly and filthy river.

There are countless souls in the river, and the sound of wailing and screaming comes and goes, which makes people shudder and chill.

The souls of the dead walking on the bridge trembled, and they did not dare to look down at the river, and occasionally the wind blew, and the souls of individual people with low psychological quality actually fell directly from the bridge and fell into the river like dumplings.

"Lethe River!Nai He Bridge!" Xuan Wei subconsciously said the name of the river and the bridge.

The scene in front of him is no different from the inexplicable fragment in Xuanwei's head after wearing the three-life rope before!

"There is a stone on the riverside, and its name is Sansheng!" Xuan Wei looked at the location in his memory, and sure enough, he saw a big stone by the riverside.

At first glance, there are several red rattans wrapped around the strange reddish-brown boulder, which is the kind of red vine that grows only once in 500 years.

Not far from the Sansheng Stone, an old woman was boiling tea soup by herself, and each deceased would bring a bowl of tea soup from her before passing by the bridge.

The old woman noticed Xuanwei's approach, but she stopped what she was doing, and beckoned to Xuanwei: "This time, you finally remembered?"

Xuanwei nodded, then shook his head again.

There were indeed some intermittent fragments in his mind, but many important information were still confused.

"You have not yet reached the end of your life, but you are here at this moment, I think you remember that someone has been waiting for you here!" the old woman said in a deep voice.

Although Xuan Wei had already guessed, when he heard the old woman's words at this moment, he still sighed abruptly: "Is the person she is waiting for really poor?"

"That little girl, I've been waiting for you for more than 1,500 years! I've been guarding the Lechuan River for more than 1,500 years!" said the old woman, pointing to the Lechuan River.

There was an inexplicable sting in Xuanwei's heart, life is only a few decades, even if it is a prosperous dynasty, it is difficult to exist for a thousand years, more than 1,500 years, it is really too long for human beings!

Not to mention, it is to spend his days in the waters of the Lethe River that have changed the color of countless souls!

Bearing unspeakable pain, looking forward to it day after day, just waiting for one person, this affection is too heavy!

"For more than 1,500 years, you have drunk tea soup from your wife several times, and every time you walk across the bridge, you don't know that she silently looks at your back in the Lethe River below, and keeps praying for you to stop. The old woman lowered her head and stirred the tea in the pot, and said quietly.

Xuan Wei glanced at the Nai He Bridge, and then looked at the boundless Lechuan River from afar, and said with a complicated expression: "Since you hope to meet again so much, why don't you open your mouth and call the person who crossed the bridge, why do you wait for thousands of years in the Lechuan River?"

Suddenly, Xuan Wei remembered one of the broken fragments.

"The bet!" is she to fulfill the promise she made when she made a bet with you?" Xuan Wei said through gritted teeth.

"Back then, when you died, and the remnant soul fell into the Lethe River, the little girl begged the old woman to let you re-enter the reincarnation. Seeing that she was sincere, the old woman made a bet with her that as long as she could find your remnant soul in the Lechuan River, the old woman would help you reshape your soul and re-enter reincarnation. The old woman said slowly.

In a trance, Xuanwei seemed to see the woman's soul enduring the pain caused by the water of the Lechuan River, looking for the remnant soul in the endless river like a needle in a haystack.

"The old woman never imagined that she would really find your remnant soul in the water of the Lechuan River! At that time, your remnant soul was already in danger, and there was a possibility of being annihilated by flying ashes at any time, and her soul was also eroded by the water of the Lechuan River! The old woman felt the infatuation of the little girl, and made a pair of ropes with the red rattan on the Sansheng Stone and gave them to the two of you!" the old woman sighed.
