Chapter 45: Wangxiangtai
Huangquan Road is indeed extremely difficult to walk, the road is rugged and potholes. If I hadn't had clear spring blood to resist the yin wind on the road, I guess I would have been the same as Zhiqi at this time, covered with frost.
At this moment, I really want to help Lu Zhiqi alleviate some of the pain on his body, but I have no way at all, because my clear spring blood is only harmful to a yin soul like Lu Zhiqi, but fortunately, Huangquan Road is not very far, and it didn't take long for us to reach the end of the road.
At the end of the road was a white fog, behind the dense fog it was not clear what kind of layout it was for the time being, Hei Wuchang pulled the cold iron chain across the dense fog, and Bai Wuchang pushed Lu Zhiqi's back behind him, Lu Zhiqi's body was already weak, and he couldn't resist Bai Wuchang's force pushing him from the back, and he was pushed into the fog before he had time to look back at Huangquan Road!
I saw Lu Zhiqi enter the fog barrier, and I also quickly chased after him.
After stepping over the white mist, a convex platform several feet high and dozens of meters wide appeared in front of my eyes.
The bottom of the platform is made of rubble of similar size, and above the platform is a wooden railing made of mahogany, and a group of dead spirits are standing on the platform crying. A black-painted flagpole was inserted into the center of the flat ground of the building, and a yellow flag with a triangular red border hung on the flagpole, and the flag was waving in the breeze. There is a huge stone tablet standing below the platform, the stone tablet is engraved with the three words "Wangxiangtai", the three characters of Wangxiangtai are painted on the surface of the font with black paint, the left side of the stone tablet is a section of stone staircase, and the stone ladder is the only way to Wangxiangtai.
The entrance to the stairs was guarded by two Yin soldiers armed with spears, who were staring at the ghosts of the dead who had been sent to the lookout by the Yin with wide eyes.
"Let's go, go up and see your hometown and your parents. Hei Wuchang shook the cold iron chain in his hand, turned to Lu Zhiqi and preached.
At this time, the frost on Lu Zhiqi's body had receded, and there was no sign of cold like before, and he looked at the ghosts and yin back and forth with a calm face.
Lu Zhiqi nodded calmly, and followed Hei Wuchang to the stone steps leading to Wangxiang Tower, and I followed closely behind.
When he first landed on Wangxiangtai, the first thing that caught his eye was a ghost who was scattered, he grabbed the fence of Wangxiangtai and cried heartbreakingly: "Mother, my mother, you have to be good, your son can't be by your side if he is not filial." Seeing that his emotions were out of control, one of the yin cha behind him pulled back with the chain that locked him, urging him to hurry up.
"Take a look, you can see your mansion here, your relatives and friends, and even your physical body before you were alive, but be fast, Wangxiangtai is not a place where you can stay as long as you want. ”
The sound of Hei Wuchang continuing to urge sounded in my ears, but the cold iron chain that held Lu Zhiqi never meant to let go, I was afraid that Lu Zhiqi's emotions would also get out of control, so I quickly stepped forward and helped him, and slowly walked to the fence.
"Zhiqi, don't worry, if I can't let you return to yang in this life, I will never go out of the underworld, and I will accompany you to suffer whatever you suffer. I looked at the companion who had lost the sunny breath of the past, and preached with a heartache.
"Murderer, in fact, I don't blame you, no matter whether I can return to the yang or not, you have to live well. Although I don't know why you want to kill Xiaoyu and the infant spirit of Infant Spirit Mountain, I know that you have your reasons for doing this, and I believe you unconditionally. Besides, how can you be called a brother if you are not noisy or noisy. Lu Zhiqi forced out a smile, but comforted me.
"Brother, I •••••• it"
Looking at the tortured Lu Zhiqi, I felt uncomfortable and speechless, it turned out that he regarded me as a brother, but I still fell in love with Yiyi behind his back.
"You two are really a strange couple, the other souls are all hometown relatives when they go to the lookout platform, you two are still in the mood to chat?" Bai Wuchang and I chatted happily with Zhiqi, and asked with some puzzlement.
"Brother, take a look, I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles there are in this trip, can we go back or not necessarily?"
As soon as we approached the fence, the clouds and mist under the stage instantly dispersed, and a middle-aged man in Fangba Town was holding a bowl of rice porridge and feeding a sickly-looking woman.
"Father, mother, the child is not filial, I'm sorry for you, I'll kneel down for you. Zhiqi saw this scene from the scattered clouds, and instantly knelt down in tears.
"How did I see the picture of Lu Zhiqi's house, can you let me take a look at the grandfather at home?" I asked with a frown.
"What are you messing about, Wangxiangtai is for the souls of the dead, are you a ghost? Hurry up, Lao Tzu has to go to the next stop to hook the soul, don't waste time to take a look and leave." Hei Wuchang explained to me impatiently.
"Father, the child will be gone in the future, you have to take good care of my mother, and after her illness is cured, she will have another son. ”
Zhi Qi looked at his father and mother from the clouds with tears like rain, and talked about this heartbroken.
"The two Yin Cha lords beg you, please let me go back, my father and mother need me, they need me to go back to take care of them, you see my mother has been paralyzed in bed for a long time, my father is struggling to make a living by running a small store, what will my father and mother do if I die!" Zhi Qi knelt on the ground, tilted his head, and grabbed Bai Wuchang's trouser leg with tears in his eyes and begged.
"Get out, the heavenly way of cause and effect is reincarnated, the heavens have their own arrangements in the dark, I am only responsible for hooking the soul, and ask for love to tell the king of the ten halls of Hades." After speaking, Bai Wuchang kicked Lu Zhiqi to the ground.
"What the hell are you so fierce, and you didn't really let him go. After I saw Bai Wuchang kick Zhi Qi down, I was furious and picked up Zhi Qi who had fallen, and scolded Bai Wuchang angrily.
"I'm too lazy to meet you in general, hurry up. ”
After Bai Wuchang finished speaking, he turned his head and stopped talking to me.
Zhi Qi may also know that he wants to let these people go, it is just a fool's dream, he controlled his emotions, grabbed the guardrail with both hands and closed his eyes, after Zhi Qi closed his eyes, the clouds and mist instantly closed and his father's figure disappeared.
"I want to look at my daughter-in-law. ”
Zhi Qi turned his head to look at me and said, the moment he turned his head, two tears flowed down the stream, giving people an extremely sad feeling.
Silly Zhiqi, it seems that you really love Yiyi, even if you go deep into the underworld at this moment, you will still think of her. I responded to Zhiqi's sweet smile, and then looked at the clouds with him, and the clouds and mist dispersed again with the thoughts of the dead soul, and the Zhu family compound was clearly displayed in the clouds. Uncle Zhu, Aunt Yan Yan and a group of doormen are surrounding Yiyi's bedside at the moment, and Yiyi is lying quietly on the bed and sleepy, it seems that Yiyi still hasn't woken up.
"Do you like my daughter-in-law?" Zhi Qi asked with a calm face when he turned back to me, and he suddenly said such words, which made me a little confused.
"Don't worry, I don't like her eldest lady's temper, and only Lu Ye can bear it. ”
In fact, I was lying to Zhiqi at the moment, and I had already discovered under the bridge that day that my feelings for Yiyi were not just at the level of friends, but just pretending not to like her.
"Even if you are smart, your eyes have actually betrayed you a long time ago, but you are quite a friend, knowing that I like Yiyi, that's why you said you don't like it, right! Actually, I can't escape my eyes for anything with you all the way, let's talk about it, no matter what happens in the future, you Yang Daoguan can't like Zhu Yiyi, understand? Because he is my daughter-in-law." Zhiqi had tears in the corners of his eyes, and looked at Yiyi in the clouds with some reluctance, and preached to me.
"Don't worry, Lu Ye, I, Yang Daoguan, am not the one who robs people's love, I swear, even if all the women in the world die in the future, I, Yang Daoguan, will never rob women with Lu Ye. ”
I squeezed out a stiff smile, pointed my right hand to the sky, and said an oath with a clear conscience, and no one could know how much my heart hurt when I said this.
"Lao Tzu thought that you were finding fault and killing me for Yiyi, but now it seems that I am being cautious. Lu Zhiqi patted the guardrail and responded to me.
"Hey, hey, you two are enough, look at these souls around you, which one is not crying dad and begging for mother, you two are so good at talking and laughing. Hei Wuchang tugged at the cold iron chain around Zhiqi's neck and spoke to the two of us.
"Let's go, take us to Lord Yama! It's better that you two settle down early, and don't bother to talk to you two cold-blooded ghosts. I put my hand on Zhiqi's shoulder, shook my leg lightly, and said something that didn't make them feel incredible.
"Others can't wait to see Yangshi's family twice, but the scoundrel will urge, are you two sure not to watch it? Especially if you have reached the end of your Yang's life, and after Wangxiangtai, it is impossible to see the person you want to see in this life, don't regret it." Bai Wuchang pointed at Zhi Qi and said.
"Don't look at it, what's there to see, let's go, let's go. ”
Zhiqi also urged Black and White Impermanence to hurry up on the road so that he could go to the next stop in the underworld.
"It's weird, on weekdays, it's all bad luck urging the dead to go down to the lookout platform, I didn't expect me to be a ghost for so many years, and today is the first time I have been urged by the dead to go down to the lookout platform. After Hei Wuchang finished speaking, he made a black face and walked down the lookout platform.
After stepping down and looking at the stage, I looked back at the ghost of crying father and mother on the stage, and then looked at Yin Cha and Zhiqi in front of me, and always felt that there was something wrong, but I couldn't say what was wrong!
