Twenty-Eight: The Netherworld
It was early in the morning again, when everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of the conference, Zhao Bangqing simply cleaned up, said hello to Liangcheng, and left the fairy world, returned to Bangshengzhai, and prepared to set off with Yu Beisheng to go to the underworld. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Coming?" Yu Beisheng was already waiting in the lobby.
"Well, let's go."
There are still six days left today, and there is not a moment to be delayed.
Yu Beisheng didn't mean to get up, pointed to the bowl of soup on the table in front of him and said, "Drink it." ”
Although Zhao Wanqing was puzzled, she trusted Yu Beisheng, so she picked up the bowl and drank it without saying a word.
When she woke up again, she was in a strange place. It was dark and gloomy. You can see a faint light imprinting on the surface of the river, and in the slight shaking, Zhao Bangqing feels that he is in a small boat.
She looked around, but there was only an endless river, and the boat seemed to be the only guest on the river. "Plop" a few times, it seems that there are schools of fish diving and moving towards the boat, menacing.
Yu Beisheng picked up a bell resting on the corner of the boat, shook it a few times, and the fish immediately turned around and scattered.
"Where is this?" Zhao Wanqing asked.
"Styx."
Zhao Bangqing only remembered drinking a bowl of soup and waking up here, besides, she had never entered the underworld, and this Styx was unheard of, so she said: "Styx? ”
"The soul of the dead enters the underworld in black and white, and the bull head and horse face guide it. Others entering Hades must cross the River Styx. The banks of the river are boundless, and it is easy to get lost. The fish in the river are soul eaters, fierce and abnormal, feeding on souls. How many people have died in this river in ancient times, for love, for power, for ......"
Yu Beisheng said, his eyes drifting into the ethereal distance.
Zhao Bangqing saw that he seemed to remember something from the past, so he stopped talking.
Two people, one boat. Except for the occasional bell, there was a deathly silence, just drifting, drifting......
After drifting for an unknown amount of time, the outline of the shore began to appear in front of me, and there seemed to be a lot of ghosts with their heads hanging down, unlike on the river.
The boat slowly landed, Yu Beisheng stepped on the shore first, and then called Zhao Bangqing to follow.
"This is Huangquan Road, and across here, is the Lechuan River, and the place where the beloved is held is at the bottom of the river." Yu Beisheng said, and walked along Huangquan Road.
Stepping on the Huangquan Road, Zhao Bangqing found that there was an extremely bewitching flower on both sides of the road that seemed to be stained with blood, like a flame that ignited this lonely and long road to death, which is what the Buddha said led to the other side of the netherworld.
Flowers bloom for a thousand years, flowers fall for a thousand years, flowers and leaves are wrong, and they cannot be seen in the world.
From the moment I set foot on this road, it was as if many memories came flooding back to my heart. For as long as I can remember, scene by scene, like light and shadow. The laughter and laughter of the past, sweet and sour, turned into endless nostalgia and sadness.
For the first time, Zhao Bangqing realized that the life of a person was so short, as if she was also one of the ghosts in this team, bidding farewell to this life and waiting for reincarnation.
"Don't look back, don't miss." Yu Beisheng reminded Zhao Bangqing in one sentence.
Zhao Bangqing followed him for a long time and came to the Lechuan River. I saw a stone bridge across the river, and that was the Nai He Bridge. There is an earthen platform on the other side of the bridge, called Wangxiangtai, and there is a small pavilion called Meng Po Pavilion on the side of the platform. Meng Po waited there, and gave everyone who walked on the Nai He Bridge a bowl of Meng Po soup, so that people forgot all about their lives. There is also a stone on the bank of the Lechuan River, called the Sansheng Stone, which records everyone's past, present and future lives.
Yu Beisheng took Zhao Bangqing and walked towards the Meng Po Pavilion, and the entrance to the bottom of the river was behind the Meng Po Pavilion.
"Let's have a bowl of soup."
Passing in front of Meng Po Pavilion, I saw Meng Po sitting there, with her eyes closed, and said to Zhao Bangqing and Yu Beisheng.
Yu Beisheng didn't plan to deal with it, but Zhao Bangqing said to Meng Po: "Granny Meng, we are not people who go to reincarnation, we just have very important things to do, and we will pass here." ”
Meng Po slowly opened her eyes: "Oh? Not a person who goes to reincarnation? That's trespassing. ”
Zhao Bangqing looked at the way and no one stopped them, so he felt that he had come in openly. was said by Meng Po to be a trespasser, but she was a little panicked, but Yu Beisheng still stood beside him without saying a word.
"No, no, Granny Meng, you misunderstood. We are entrusted by others, please let us go. ”
Meng Po smiled and said, "Don't panic, go if you want to." ”
Only then did he move his body and make way for him.
Zhao Bangqing breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the back of the pavilion with Yu Beisheng.
Meng Po muttered: "Both bitter lovers, fate has not been reached, sad and sad." ”
When he arrived at the entrance, Yu Beisheng waved his hand, and the river in front of him cracked a staircase-like passage made of river water, leading to the deep and endless bottom of the river.
Zhao Bangqing followed Yu Beisheng down the passage, and the surrounding area began to become only a wall made of river water.
Finally reached the bottom of the river, and there were guards guarding the entrance, according to Ye Yang, these were all ghosts, obeying the orders of the Hades.
Yu Beisheng just showed a token, and the guards didn't bother to ask and let them in. Zhao Wanqing discovered that this Yu Beisheng still had too many things she didn't know, too many skills that she didn't expect.
It is really like a prison, using an iron rod used as a water jet to imprison people in a small space.
Yu Beisheng went straight to the innermost, and they finally found his beloved woman who fell from the heavenly messenger into the underworld to be punished near the bottom, Qingshu.
At this moment, she was sitting quietly inside, staring blankly at the ground in front of her. However, in the past few days of detention, the fairy aura on her body has not diminished at all, which can't help but make Zhao Bangqing sigh: It's really a talented woman and a good girl, a match made in heaven.
"I'm Zhao Bangqing, this is Yu Beisheng, let us save you." Zhao Wanqing said straight to the point to Qingshu inside.
Qingshu's bright eyes suddenly became enlightened, she stood up and walked to the water column, grabbed the hard water column, and said, "Miss Bangqing, Lord Yu is also here, it's really troublesome for you, but why not save me?" Qingshu lowered her head slightly and continued, "I no longer have the hope of forgiving my sins and getting out of here. Please help me tell him that I can't stay with him, that I broke my appointment, and don't blame me. If there is still a chance to accompany him, whether it is a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand, I will wait. Whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will not hesitate to do anything, thank him. ”
When Zhao Wanqing heard these words, he was emotional, and he strengthened his belief in saving Qingshu.
"I'm sorry, we can't convey that, you should have said these things to him personally. No matter what, we will try our best, and there is nothing difficult in the world. ”
"Thank you." After Qingshu finished speaking, she returned to her original place and looked at the ground blankly. No one knew that she was thinking back on the happy times she had with Mi, which was the only thing she could do now.
"Who came to this Lethe Water Prison?" A familiar voice came from his ears, which was approaching.
