Chapter 793 One Road and One Bridge
If you want to go out and have a look, I can get the butler to accompany you. Although there was no disturbance in the city, it was not very safe. No matter where there will be some restless guys, after all, as long as people have thoughts, they will have desires. Before Yan Luo left, he called an old man, then pointed at him and said to Tang Dynasty.
"What do you call this young master?" the old man looked at Tang Chao with some respect, and then asked.
"Tang Dynasty. Just call me Don Jr. "The Tang Dynasty is not easy to hold up, and said politely.
"Okay, Young Master Tang. Why don't we go out for a walk? The lord still has official business to deal with, and he can't accompany him. The old slave's surname is Luo, and Young Master Tang just calls the old slave Lao Luo. Lao Luo asked at Tang Dynasty.
"Let's go out for a walk. I haven't been here yet. Tang Chao said.
Lao Luo took the Tang Dynasty and was also conscientious, pointing and introducing them one by one along the way. The city is indeed large, with a length of hundreds of thousands of zhang and a width of hundreds of thousands of zhang. The two of them set off from Yan Mansion and walked all the way through the streets and alleys, wandering around.
"Lao Luo, can I go to the east of the city to have a look?" Tang Chao suddenly stopped Lao Luo and asked.
"Yes. Let's go over there. ”
The two men walked towards the east of the city, and as soon as they left the city gate, they saw a wide river, but the river was calm and could not see the flow. At the same time, outside the city, along the city walls, there is a golden road that points into the distance. Tang Chao looked at the golden avenue reflected by the golden runes, and suddenly had a familiar feeling. On the long golden road, there are many figures standing, and they are a little illusory when you look closely. Their expressions were different, but they were much calmer.
"Young Master Tang, these are the ghosts of the new underworld. Lao Luo saw that the Tang Dynasty was quite interested in these, so he introduced. "After a person dies, if the soul is still intact, it will be transmitted to the underworld by the six reincarnations. When they enter the underworld, they are guided to the city. However, because of the different emotions before death, only most of them will come, and they are these people. ”
"This road is ......," Tang Chao asked.
"This is the Huangquan Road, which is the road of scriptures written by a Buddha in the past, which has the effect of purifying the soul. It can make these souls calm down and embark on a new journey. In the past, a lot of soldiers were needed to maintain order, and there were often riots. Soul scattering happens from time to time. Since there is this Huangquan Road, all the living souls who come can rest in peace. Adults once said that not being able to see it with their own eyes is a lifelong regret. Lao Luo said.
The two continued to walk forward, and they saw an exquisite wooden bridge over the wide river, but in front of the wooden bridge, there was some crowding. Although the bridge is wide, there are a large number of ghosts lingering in front of the bridge and refuse to go up the bridge. Although they had a quiet expression, their eyes revealed a kind of reluctance or persistence, and they would rather wander in front of the bridge than step far on the wooden bridge.
"Young Master Tang, come with the old slave. Lao Luo said, his whole body glowing with a layer of black light. All the Yin Spirits automatically stepped aside when the black light was about to touch it. In this way, Lao Luo took the vacant position of the Tang Dynasty and walked onto the wooden bridge. Once you get on the wooden bridge, it's very loose. On the hundred-zhang wide wooden bridge, there are not many walking ghosts. The Tang Dynasty stopped at the highest point on the bridge. He looked at the calm river, and then at the sides of the bridge, with a thoughtful look.
"Young Master Tang, this bridge is called Nai He Bridge, but I don't know why. After crossing this bridge, there is Meng Po. After drinking Meng Po soup, you can go to reincarnation. By the way, Young Master Tang, don't jump down, this river is not an ordinary river. Lao Luo said on the side.
"Young man, this water is called weak water, and it is a branch of the weak water river. There is not a single thing floating on this river, and nothing that falls down will not float up. Even the Shade is the same. You'd better not have the idea of trying it. An old man was sitting on the edge of the bridge, staring blankly at the river, and then said.
"I don't know what the old man is called?" Tang Chao took two steps, stood beside the old man, and then said.
"It's been too long. I don't remember. As a Yin clan, if you can't fight to the death, I'm afraid many things will be forgotten. The old man did not turn his head, but continued to look at the river, and then said. "If you live too long, you may not die a good thing. ”
"Is the old man waiting for someone sitting here?" asked Tang Chao.
"Yes, the old man is waiting for a destined person, the old man personally sent him away back then, and the old man is waiting to pick him up again. It's a pity that these six roulettes can't find out the reincarnation of this person, and the old decay can only wait for fate. The old man still stared blankly at the river, never moving.
"Young Master Tang, this person is said to have been sitting here for 100,000 years, so you better ignore him. Lao Luo reminded in a low voice.
Tang Chao was stunned for a moment, and asked again. "Uncle, what kind of person is it that is worth letting you sit for so long?" Tang Chao looked at the old man in front of him, and there was always an indescribable sense of familiarity. That's why he stepped forward to talk.
"A monk. The old man suddenly smiled and said, but the corners of his mouth trembled, as if he hadn't laughed for a long time.
At this time, the scriptures on the Huangquan Road became more and more shining, and the scriptures became brighter and brighter. This change made the old man suddenly turn his head to look over, and there was a crisp sound of bones. It's just that the old man has only turned halfway, and he has swept the Tang Dynasty. The old man was stunned, looking at Tang Chao with a stupid look.
"Have we met somewhere?" the old man asked after standing for a while.
"Probably not. This is my first time on the Realm. Tang Chao shook his head, and then said with a smile. He walked to the other side of the bridge. There are dozens of little girls constantly serving tea to those who come over.
Tang Chao also walked up curiously and picked up a bowl casually. The little girl just smiled, but did not stop him, but continued to add tea to the other empty bowl. There are dozens of such stalls, but unfortunately there are not many people in the past.
"Young Master Tang, you can't drink this. Don't drink it. Lao Luo looked at the Tang Dynasty and looked at the tea, and hurriedly said out loud. He was really afraid that the Tang Dynasty would dry it up, and then he would not be able to deal with it when he went back.
"Young man, you'd better not try this thing. Although you can't die, you can forget everything. The figure of the old man suddenly appeared, and then said.
"Yo, who was I at the time, isn't this Yan Liuluo, who claims to be unable to wait for people and not get off the bridge. An old lady holding a cane suddenly appeared in front of the tea stall, looked at the old man and said, with a hint of mockery.
"Mother Meng, the old man was really sorry for you back then. The old man, that is, Yan Liuluo, spoke.
"Hmph, the old man really thinks you're a man who keeps his promises. Unexpectedly, you just kept your promise not to marry an old body. Meng Po said with a mocking face.
"The old man never talks empty words. Even when he was in office for six generations of Yama, the old man never broke his word. If he takes the position of Yan Luo today, the old man has never violated what he said back then and interjected. Today's events, the old man thinks that he is worthy of the sound of landing. Yan Liuluo said to Meng Po.
"The old body doesn't want to argue with you about the past anymore. However, today you are blocking people from drinking soup, but what do you mean? Do you think that the old body is still living a stable life?" Meng Po's eyes widened slightly, and she asked sharply.
At this moment, the sound of a tea bowl falling to the ground came, followed by the sound of a man wailing in pain. "No, I don't. I can't forget, I can't forget. I can't forget her, how could I forget her, how could I be. The man roared wildly, and threw himself into the river.
"Alas, another infatuated man. I'd rather be lost than forget what I love. The world still can't see it, can't figure it out, can't let it go. Meng Po sighed. She seems to be commonplace.
Soon, many more tea bowls were broken, and the sound of crying became one piece. It seems that they were infected by the man before, so that these ghosts, who had calmed down, went crazy again. Hundreds of ghosts roared wildly and wept bitterly. A lot of ghosts smashed at the tea stall, but the next moment, they dissipated. Some of the rest jumped into the river.
"Young Master Tang, this Meng Po stall is with the power of rules, exercising the rules of this realm, so this stall must not be moved, otherwise, it will be directly scattered. Lao Luo looked at Tang Chao's puzzled expression and explained.
"Then what if I smash it?" Tang Chao asked curiously.
"You can smash it, even if you don't die, the old body will shatter your soul little by little. Meng Po, who was already deploring, suddenly became angry when she heard the words of the Tang Dynasty. She picked up the cane in her hand and poked at Tang Chao.
Tang Chao felt that the strength on the crutches was not great, so he didn't use his weapon, and directly stretched out his hand to block it. Meng Po's crutches were attached to the arms of the Tang Dynasty. Meng Po looked at Tang Chao's expression and was a little stunned, he didn't even react.
"Your eyes are really getting worse and worse, can't you see that he is not a Yin Spirit? He is a human race, a Yang person. Yan Liuluo sighed helplessly.
"Terran, when will the living be allowed to enter and leave the realm at will? Isn't it only us Yin who can enter and exit? He is definitely not a Yin Race. Meng Po asked in surprise. The crutches in Meng Po's hand are called the Dementor Staff, which is specially used to subdue the Yin Spirit. As long as the ghost of crossing the bridge bears the mark of the wooden bridge, no matter how powerful it is, it can't escape the shock of this crutch.
"You can't see me sitting there every day, I should know what's going on?" Yan Liuluo rolled his eyes helplessly, and then said.
"This is Young Master Tang, who was personally explained by Lord Yama, so you can wander around at will. "Although Lao Luo doesn't know Yan Liuluo, he knows Meng Po. He can't afford to mess with this old lady's temper and status. This is the lord who dares to break into the Yama Mansion and knock Yama with a stick.
