Chapter 19: The Hall of Hades
Blood Rakshasa is a child of the rivers and lakes, and she can only swallow cooking, but Zhu Yan has a long cooking experience, and after she tasted the unpalatable barbecue made by Blood Rakshasa a few times, she silently took over the barbecue.
Anyway, the salt and other condiments that the Blood Rakshasa carried were still complete, and the things made by Zhu Yan would not be as charred and unpalatable as those made by the Blood Rakshasa .
When he first ate Zhu Yan's barbecued meat, Blood Rakshasa felt cold and difficult to get along with as soon as he looked at it, but his face turned a little red, of course, Zhu Yan would not know. Later, he got used to Zhu Yan's cooking, and the Blood Rakshasa didn't mind the fact that what he made was not as delicious as what a little girl cooked.
It's strange to say, Blood Rakshasa has never asked Zhu Yan's name, nor has she told Zhu Yan her real name, but the two of them have lived in harmony these days, and I have to say that it is quite curious.
Later, although the two were silent, the two already had some tacit understanding. So when the two of them arrived at their destination, they saw that the ice and snow on the Blood Rakshasa look on the little boy had melted a little, and many people turned their puzzled eyes to Zhu Yan.
They knew that Blood Rakshasa would only make her expression kinder when she wanted to kill someone, but her expression now didn't look like she was going to kill the little girl. Moreover, one day the Blood Rakshasa will bring a stranger to their territory.
Zhu Yan followed behind the Blood Rakshasa and walked forward as she went, thinking about what the Blood Rakshasa had said in her ear when she jumped out of the carriage earlier.
"Welcome to the Hades Palace!"
Zhu Yan didn't know where the Hades Hall was located, because the Blood Rakshasa was leading the way. Although it is called a temple, it is actually not small at all.
This is obviously an inaccessible valley, and if you don't have a heart, you can't know that there will be something else going on here. Most of the people who came and went were dressed in black, so the red clothes of the Blood Rakshasa were even more eye-catching. Her red dress was already as red as blood.
It seems that the status of the Blood Rakshasa in the Hades Hall is also extraordinary, which can be seen from the awe in the eyes of the passing servants.
Zhu Yan didn't look at it, and she didn't ask why the Blood Rakshasa brought herself here, as soon as she heard the three words Hades Palace, she thought of what Third Brother Lin told her, Blood Hades. If this Hades Hall is really handed down by that person, it seems that it can also explain why the legend of the Blood Hades is still circulating on the rivers and lakes. Because his descendants are still in the rivers and lakes.
The Blood Rakshasa took Zhu Yan to a huge building, with roof tiles and eaves, and the layers were distinct, and he felt extremely small when he stood in front of Tongmen.
The Blood Rakshasa pushed open the door and motioned for Zhu Yan to walk in.
Zhu Yan didn't want to move, but he was curious, so he stepped inside.
This hall is very large, and it is obviously a scorching sun outside, but when you walk in, you feel that there is a gust of wind, which is particularly cold. Zhu Yan knew that this was just an illusion, because there was no voice here, it was too quiet, and he heard someone's voice.
Zhu Yan walked in and saw the first hall. The statue of the king of Hades that Zhu Yan had seen before was offered in the main hall, but it was much larger than before, and it was made of copper. But there are no futons on the ground, and it is not like they are for men to bow down.
In fact, there are very few people in the world who directly sculpt the statue of Hades, and they all mold some land judgments and the like, because the commoners always feel that Hades is in charge of the underworld and has no time to take care of the world. This is similar to the fact that there are few emperors in the world.
Continue to walk inside, the people in this hall are still Hades, but there is also a statue of a scholar holding a book on the side, this is Lu Ju. There are also bull heads and horse faces, black and white impermanence.
A gust of wind passed by, Zhu Yan shivered, glanced at the statues, and continued to walk inside.
Next, it was very strange, the depth of this hall was very long, and Zhu Yan had walked for a long time, but he felt that he had not finished walking. She thought that she had fallen into Qimen gossip again, but she noticed the difference in the carved patterns on the pillars she passed, and overturned her previous guess.
Finally, after walking through the courtyard and passing by the two photo walls, Zhu Yan found something obviously different. There is no way to get there, and it seems that this is where the Blood Rakshasa wants to come by himself. If it's really an eight-year-old child, you'd be scared silly, this style of painting is too weird.
It was originally deep and gloomy in the depths of the hall, but a small building appeared, which was divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The door on the first floor was wide open, and it was obviously broad daylight, but there were countless white lanterns hanging, and judging from the candle flames shaking inside, there were indeed candles lit inside.
Zhu Yan suddenly thought of a sentence: pretending to be forced to be struck by lightning.
At this moment, a girl dressed in green clothes came out of it, blessed her, and also carried a white lantern in her hand, and motioned for her to follow her in.
The girl was clearly trying to lead her upstairs, after all, there was really nothing to see on the first floor. When Zhu Yan got closer, he found that these lanterns were burning in eight rows and eight columns in the silent small building, which made Zhu Yan's footsteps slow down and lighten up.
The building was not high, and Zhu Yan followed behind the girl, but she felt that she had strayed into a secret realm. In her previous life, she had nothing to do with these, but she didn't know how this life could involve these. She doesn't like such ups and downs of accidents, as long as there is a small courtyard where she can lie quietly and listen to the wind and rain.
Finally seeing the owner here, Zhu Yan couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw the man in white. She had seen the behavior of the Blood Rakshasa after seeing the piece of jade, and she thought that the reason why the Blood Rakshasa wanted to take her away was that piece of jade, and perhaps she had to see the owner of the jade herself.
I didn't expect it, but it wasn't.
The man in front of him was dressed in white, and under the reflection of the girl carrying a white lantern, there was a little more ambiguity. The figure is thin, but it unexpectedly fits this outfit very well. A pair of eyes were shining, and they were looking at her with great interest at the moment.
Zhu Yan stepped forward, saluted, and asked, "Who are you?" Why are you here? The child's innocence and curiosity are revealed.
The man in white stood on the edge of the railing, listened to her words, but raised his eyes, his eyes wandered, and he looked at the woman who was looking up at her, no, it can't be said to be a woman, it can only be regarded as a girl.
"This is the Hades Palace, and I am the master of the Hades Palace."
"Oh." Although Zhu Yan heard his words, some questions came up, but she also felt that there was nothing to ask, it just depends on what the other party has for her, is it to ask her to join the Hades Palace? She thought of it a little funny, like these big forces in the rivers and lakes, they shouldn't want people of unknown origin like themselves.
The man in front of him saw that she really didn't have anything to ask, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and then he took out a jade pendant from his arms. Zhu Yan fixed his eyes and saw that it was exactly the same as what Xue Jingyan gave her. It's not like that, the Blood Rakshasa is still outside, and this jade can't fly.
"This jade is a token of the Hades Palace, and if you bring it, we can do something for you. No matter how difficult or easy it is, as long as it doesn't violate the Great Xia Law, we can do it for you. The man twitched the corners of his mouth.
"I don't know much about Hades, can you tell me about it first?"
"The Hades Palace is an organization that rewards the good and punishes the evil in the rivers and lakes, and is in charge of the destruction of the law, the recklessness of human life, and the rape of people in the martial arts. Lewd. Plunder. ”
"Oh."
"And what do you want?"
"I also want to ask about this jade."
"This piece of jade is scattered by our Hades Palace to find someone who is destined. Every ten years, five pieces are scattered, called Shin Jade, and those who hold this jade can find the people of Hades' Hall and ask them to do something. ”
"Oh."
"Little girl, have you thought of what you want?"
"Can you give me back the jade?" It turns out that the person who owns Xinyu is only random, but five yuan in ten years is not easy, and it is still more expensive than a few thousand taels of silver tickets, especially, she also thought about taking it as a treat, but it is really a move to buy and return the pearls. But the owner of the jade is Xue Jingyan, and she doesn't want him to lose this opportunity. Therefore, let's get the jade back.
There was something strange about the man's expression.
"Little girl, you know what? There are very few people who get the letter jade and don't ask the people of the Hades Hall to do things, and since you have come here, there is only this opportunity to make a request. If you want to make a request in the future, you can't do it unless you find another piece of letter jade. ”
Zhu Yan narrowed his eyes, "Do you mean I must use this request today?" But it seems that this piece of jade is a token given to me by someone else, and he didn't tell me that this is a letter jade, and I will rely on this to find him in the future. ”
"What do you think of Hades? Of course, there is no entry and no exit. A smile bloomed at the corner of the man's mouth, but it was a little more gloomy.
Zhu Yan was hesitating whether to cry or not, but when he thought that the Hades Palace was actually in and out, I was afraid that he would not have this kind of pity, so he had no choice but to say, "Didn't Sister Blood Rakshasa just come back from outside?" ”
"That's when she went out on a mission, and she came back naturally without a mission."
"If I don't want to ask for a mission, will you let me go?"
"Yes, but we'll erase your memories of this time."
Hehe, it's really thoughtful!
Zhu Yan stared at the man in white for a long time, making the expression on his face a little untenable. She remembered why the Blood Rakshasa hadn't told her about this before, and she thought that the Blood Rakshasa wouldn't have any bad intentions for her. It's true that there are no bad intentions, after all, memories can be erased.
But Zhu Yan hates the feeling of having no memory very much, and she doesn't know if their methods will have sequelae, some of her current memories are incomplete, how can she bear to lose such a large amount of memories in the future.
There doesn't seem to be a solution? She looked away from the man in white and turned to the jade pendant. The atmosphere froze suddenly, and the man wanted to say something at this time. Zhu Yan suddenly spoke.
"Wait, give me the jade pendant in your hand first."
The man hesitated slightly, but when he saw Zhu Yan's young appearance, he handed it over.
