Chapter Seventy-Five: Right and Wrong
As a bystander, Shifang still felt how desperate the young woman's ghost was, although he didn't know about the poison of the soul of Lethe River, but it was by no means uncomfortable, this woman didn't even want to look at the Xiangtai Tower, but resolutely chose to jump into the Lethe River, so what kind of concern should she have in her heart?
What a bridge, what a parting in the past life, how to meet in this life, but how to reunite in the next life. Looking back for a thousand years, a hundred years of agreement, maybe the relationship between husband and wife in this life began in Si, and grace ended here.
On the other side of the bridge, what awaits the ghost is the complete break of this life - Meng Po Tang. Therefore, walking on the Nai He Bridge is the time when the ghost finally has the memory of this life, and at this moment, many people are still clinging to the unfinished wishes of their previous lives, but they deeply understand that these wishes will not be realized in the end, so they will let out a long sigh. This is also the reason why this bridge connecting the reincarnations of various generations is named Nai He Bridge.
In the river, the woman began to watch hard, and Shifang and Shu Yan were speechless for a while, gloomy and sad.
"Don't you think this woman is pitiful?" The world suddenly quieted, and they returned to their original state, unlike just now, a woman with a simple dress but a dusty temperament appeared beside them.
Shifang was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted: "Meng Po is a good senior." Shu Yan next to him also suddenly became well-behaved, knowing whether they could get out of the netherworld, it was all on this person, and he hurriedly saluted: "Sister Meng is good." Shifang's face instantly fell.
Meng Po smiled lightly, remembering the first time she called herself, it was not Meng Po, not the female benefactor, but this sister. Interesting, really interesting, on Huangquan Road, I can't see the slightest memory of her, if it weren't for the treasure on her body that shields the heavens? It must have been quite a history, but this little girl is of good character.
"Get up, old friends and juniors, there is no need to be polite." The void waved his hand, and Shi Fang suddenly felt a soft force hold himself up, and before he could say thanks, he was interrupted again by Meng Po's voice: "I just asked, do you think this woman is very pitiful?" ”
"Poor but respectable." Shu Yan said with a pious expression, although she also clearly saw the curvature of the corners of Sister Meng's mouth, but she still ignored it, and argued loudly: "Shifang also told me a lot about the Nai He Bridge, a thousand years of suffering, in exchange for the next life, not to mention that there are still many opportunities to see the lover on the Nai He Bridge?" ”
"Oh?" Meng Po replied in a low voice, noncommittal, and set her eyes on Shifang, who thought for a moment, and then said respectfully: "There is nothing pitiful and respectable, this is her own choice, what does it matter what others think, love, love, or something, the monk can only say, I don't understand, I don't understand." ”
"What a cunning little monk." Meng Po spoke lowly, and then thought to herself, is your memory on Huangquan Road fake, you obviously have a favorite woman in your heart, and you have paid so much for her, and you have fallen to the current realm, but you say that you don't understand love and love, isn't it a fan of the authorities? Or, my opinion of this female ghost jumping into the Lethe River is so obvious that you can see one or two on your face?
Meng Po stopped talking, and directly waved her sleeves, and another scene appeared in front of her, and she explained: "It's a pity that she didn't climb the lookout platform, otherwise the female ghost would have seen that the man who promised to love her for the rest of her life has ...... at this moment."
With curiosity, Shi Fang and Shu Yan's eyes widened: this is a mansion, just looking at the layout in it, you can know that someone in this family has just died, because there are three mourning flags in the mansion. The scene slowly approached, and when he came to the inner hall, a young scholar in his thirties briefly sorted it out and hurried out through the back door.
"Who is this man?"
"This is the Xianggong who just jumped into the water ghost of Lethe."
Mrs. is newly mourned, why does he not look sad, and now he leaves through the back door, acting sneaky, where is he going? And what are you going to do?
With questions, Shifang and Shu Yan glanced at each other and continued to look.
The scholar quietly walked around several alleys, looked around, and then pushed open the door of a courtyard house, only to see that he looked excited at this time, his face was flushed, and he hurriedly broke into the house, and then there was an exclamation, which was obviously a woman's voice.
The perspective did not follow the scholar into the room, but the next voice came out clearly, first with a loud laugh and scolding: "Wrongdoer, why did you come here now, your wife ...... her"
"Xiaomei, after redeeming you, I am looking forward to it day and night, and now I finally have no worries, and in the future, we can be together in the open." The scholar said, and then there was a rapid gasp, and it was clear that the two of them had not done anything good.
"This is not good, your wife's bones are not cold, you will be ruthless, in the future, if you treat me like this in the future, I am a lonely widow from a Qinglou, wouldn't it be even more sad." As she spoke, the woman's voice had turned pitiful.
"How so?" Then the scholar said countless sweet words, and finally made the woman laugh.
"Can you tell me the truth?" The woman said earnestly.
"You say, you know everything, you say everything, be careful of your liver, don't you still understand my thoughts about you?"
"That'...... Is there really no cure for your wife's illness? ”
The scene was a little calm for a while, Shifang and Shu Yan held their breath, afraid of missing every word next, the truth, what is it?
"Although she shouldn't have died so early, but, but her illness is really incurable, Xiaomei, Xiaomei...... Although she is given a lot of valuable medicine every day, it is not good for her body, am I wrong to do this? In that case, even if it lasts for a while, what's the point, it's just to add to the pain. And in those days, I can say that I was by the bedside every day, with kind words and comfort, so that she went very safely. ”
……
The light curtain dissipated, and Shifang Shuyan stood stunned for a long time, thinking of the figure that resolutely jumped into the water of Lethe, and his heart was mixed.
"What's the matter, one of you says it's pitiful but respectable, and the other avoids talking about it, I say, this female soul is really stupid, how to say it in a word, by the way, it's called an infatuated woman with a negative heart! The scholar may not have thought that it was his false warmth that caused his wife to still not be at peace after her death, but is it really the scholar's responsibility? Or do you blame that woman for being stupid? ”
Shifang came back to his senses, by the way, why? Why did that female ghost choose to jump into the water of Lethe, although all the second ancestors in the netherworld are recorded, but there are not too many, and the vague record in the wild history is that some people can't let go of their love in life, throw themselves into the water of Lethe River, and suffer for thousands of years, so they can continue the frontier in the next life. Unable to get an answer, Shifang looked at Meng Po and asked curiously: "Then why did this ghost who died for the first time jump into the water of Lethe, or in other words, what is the point of jumping into the water of Lethe?" ”
Meng Po pointed with his left hand, Shifang and Shu Yan looked at it, only to see that at the head of the bridge, a stone tablet suddenly appeared, and Shifang was surprised to find that a wave of Buddha's will came to his face.
Shifang bowed with one hand and recited a Buddha name in his mouth: My Buddha is compassionate, Amitabha.
The stone tablet that could only be seen by ghosts appeared clearly in front of them at this time, and the first thing was three big black characters: Nai He Bridge! And under it there are a few lines of small characters, and when you look at it in ten directions, the handwriting gradually becomes clear.
In the Lechuan River, if the mind is not extinguished for thousands of years, it can re-enter the world and continue the frontier.
Shifang whispered secretly, no wonder this is the case, but is the female ghost who is tormented in the Lechuan River really clear? As if seeing through what Shifang was thinking, Meng Po said: "Of course, on the Nai He Bridge, if a ghost has the idea of jumping into the Lechuan River, the decoction of the water of the Lechuan River will naturally erode its mind, unless it eliminates this thought, or, still infatuated and jumps into the Lechuan River. ”
"This ......" Shu Yan wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
On the contrary, Shifang did not react, after all, the Buddha meaning contained in this stone tablet is very obvious, and the person who erected the monument is obviously a person in the Buddha world, so thinking about it, his original intention is just to give the person he loves a chance.
"Then since the stone tablet was erected, has anyone really successfully experienced the torment of Lethe River, and then lived with the person he loves again?" Regarding this point, Shifang wanted to know very much, after all, the predecessor who erected the monument was well-intentioned, if he didn't temper a person, it would really be ......
Meng Po raised her eyebrows and replied reluctantly: "There is indeed one, but it is only a lifetime of marriage." Oh, except for one pair, which is considered a positive result and will never be separated again. ”
"Please give me advice." Shifang saluted respectfully.
"That's a woman named Xu Xian." Meng Po frowned slightly, although she didn't want to mention it, her eyes were still full of admiration: "One of the two people jumped into the Lechuan River, and the other was willing to fall into the beast path and became a white snake." ”
Youyou sighed, and Meng Po continued: "But they understand each other's intentions, one is willing to endure a thousand years of torment in the Lechuan River, and in a thousand years, his will is unwavering, and his heart is not dissolved; And the other started from a white snake, and he had his own fate in the dark, and he got the opportunity to cultivate, and achieved a thousand-year-old snake demon. ”
"And in the end?" Shu Yan asked nervously.
One person and one demon have cultivated to the right fruit and achieved the Buddha's path.
Shu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." ”
"However, it is precisely because of the existence of this stone tablet that there are many infatuated souls in the Lechuan River, and in the end, their minds are wiped out and become the medicine of Meng Po Tang." As soon as her voice changed, Meng Po continued to ask, "In comparison, do you think it is right or wrong to erect this stone monument?" ”
Right? Is it wrong? This voice echoed in Shifang's mind, and at this time, under the bridge, in the Lechuan River, the countless howling ghosts reached the ears, some, piercing......
