Chapter 4 Lethe River

Meng Po scooped up a bowl of her own special Meng Po soup and shouted, "Tian Bao, a native of Tianjia Village." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”

Gu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and flipped the brim of his hat slightly up. Tian Bao stood on the lookout platform next to the Nai He Bridge, this lookout platform was set up by Lord Yama, and he could see the situation in the ghost's Yang family, and he took a last look before he was reincarnated, and he also counted the dust of this life.

Tian Bao saw that his relatives were immersed in mourning for his death, and said to himself with tears in his eyes, "Father and mother must take good care of their bodies, and younger brothers and sisters must be obedient." She paused, knowing that the person she was most sorry for in her life was actually Gu Changsheng. I'm sorry, I just don't want to be a geist ghost. ”

Meng Po handed Tian Bao Meng Po soup, "Drink this bowl of soup, and you will be able to be a human again after crossing the bridge." Just as he was about to wait for Tian Bao to drink the soup and let him go, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Changsheng standing in a daze, and he didn't know what was going on, so Meng Po asked, "What do you command?" ”

Gu Changsheng said, "I want to cross the bridge." ”

Tian Bao's hand shook, the Meng Po soup in the bowl was almost not spilled, and he looked fixedly at the ghost in Changsheng's disguise, and when he met the clean eyes under the brim of his hat, he only felt ashamed and ashamed.

Meng Po said, "Do you still go up at this hour?" It's about to crow. ”

Gu Changsheng said, "If there is an emergency, you must go and do it immediately." ”

"Is there someone who died suddenly and needs you to go up and hook the soul? Then you should cross the bridge first, so as not to miss the hour. The king of Hades wants people to die in the third watch, but he can't keep people until the fifth watch. ”

Before the words fell, there was a loud bang in the direction of the Hades Palace, which shook Changsheng's ears. She once heard the sound of spring thunder exploding in the sky when she was helping the Tian family in the field, and she thought it was the loudest and strongest sound in the world, but now she was really making a fuss.

The tens of thousands of ghosts waiting to cross the bridge couldn't stand covering their ears with their hands, but they still felt that the sound was so sharp that it was like a poke piercing both ears, and the eardrums hurt terribly.

Then the earth began to shake, as if the earth dragon was about to turn over, and Changsheng saw that the ground under his feet began to crack irregularly, and the crack spread all the way to the vicinity of Meng Po Bridge.

Tian Bao was standing by the bridge, and the originally hard soil and rocks under his feet suddenly loosened and cracked large pieces and fell into the Lechuan River, Tian Bao couldn't dodge, and his body fell down. Changsheng lunged forward and grabbed her hand in time.

Gu Changsheng gritted her teeth, fortunately, her strength in housework on weekdays was not small, and she shouted, "Hold on." ”

The waters of the Lechuan River raged and surged, and many unlucky ghosts fell, and in an instant they were overwhelmed by the snakes, insects, rats, and ants within, and from their mouths and mouths, and out of their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses.

Tian Bao said, "Why do you want to save me, aren't you angry?" ”

Changsheng used his two hands to pull her instead, and there was a concave point on the ground with his toes, which was inserted with his toes, just to borrow strength, "You are good to be a fool, being angry with you and not saving you when you see death are two different things." ”

The ghosts who were originally waiting to cross the bridge and be reincarnated were ghosts crying and howling rats and wolves, and a fire was burning in front of them, so fast that these ghosts had no time to react and were already in ashes.

"Hurry up and return the Bright Treasure Mirror!" After a righteous and awe-inspiring shout, the two black dots flew into the air and collided violently, and many sparks were scattered and fell on the Naihe Bridge, which burned the bridge at once.

One of the black spots took the initiative to stop the impact, looked at the miserable situation below and said angrily, "Do you know that today there should be 5,63 ghosts to be reincarnated as humans, and 12,000 ghosts to enter the animal path, and now you have burned so many ghosts, and you have burned the Naihe Bridge and disrupted the order of the human world, what kind of crime should you be guilty of?" ”

"The underworld is the place where your Lord Hades is in charge, and if you don't manage it well, your Hades is incompetent, so what does it have to do with me."

Gu Changsheng raised his head, and the two people who were facing each other, one was a swallow-jawed tiger beard and the Lord Yama enshrined in her temple, and the other was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who was not much older than her. Tian Bao grabbed Gu Changsheng's hand, originally thinking of stepping on the protruding rock block on the shore to climb up, but he didn't know that the rock block could not withstand the trampling and loosened, but almost brought Gu Changsheng down.

Gu Changsheng shouted, "Try and find out if there is a place to step on." She saw that Tian Bao was also slim, how did she know that it would be so heavy.

Hades took out a gold ring from his sleeve and threw it into the air. The golden ring swirled in the air and grew larger, shooting out a golden light towards the boy.

The boy dodged a few times, and out of thin air conjured several swords with black qi to fight with it. After a few rounds, the golden ring did not show any signs of decline, but the sword demonic aura faded away, and a heavy blow was knocked down, straight into the ground. The golden ring flew to the young man's body, quickly shrinking, trapping his arms at his waist, unable to move.

The boy smiled, "It seems that you have been prepared for a long time. ”

Hades said, "You better tie your hands and don't fight the trapped beasts." This is the treasure of the Emperor Dongyue, water and fire do not invade, even your fire can not be damaged in the slightest. ”

"Yes, even the things of the immortal family are the most undefiled." The boy glanced at his sword, which flew up and slashed through his arms. The blood flowed down the lines of the bones with black gas, and the golden ring suddenly dimmed like a dusty pearl, and fell to the ground with a "bang", and the young man picked it up and played with it in his hand, "If the things of the Dongyue Emperor are lost in your hands, you will be embarrassed and embarrassed, so I will give it back to you." He threw the ring of gold back at Hades.

With a wave of Hades' sleeves, the golden ring changed direction and sank into the Lethe River, causing a stormy wave for a while. The young man smiled, "The snakes and insects in the Lechuan River are also released by you, if you do evil in your life, you will throw them into the river to be bitten by snakes and insects. ”

Just now, the earth shook and cracked, and some ghosts fell directly into the river, and there were also ghosts who grabbed things like Tian Bao and hung them by the river and tried to climb up. Because of the fall of the golden ring, the river suddenly swelled up again. Changsheng looked at the river water coming towards the heights, like a pot of mixed soup mixed with snake meat and rat meat, but unfortunately it was extremely fishy.

She and Tian Bao were swept down by the river, and the images of snakes, insects, rats and ants coming out of their eyes and ears suddenly popped up in their minds.

She hugged Tian Bao and sank down. The moment she entered the water, she saw that the countless ghosts around her had been bitten beyond recognition, and she was powerless to struggle in pain.

The punishment of the underworld is intended to forgive sins by subjecting sinful ghosts to torture, and as long as they are not pulled up, they will continue to be bitten by snakes and insects, and suffer physical pain.

Gu Changsheng was timid, he really didn't want to become so "miserable" himself. The eyeballs were eaten, and I don't know if I will be able to see them in the future. She thought to herself and felt something lift her up, and the first thing she did when she left the water was to spit out the water of the Lethe River, which was more smelly than washing her feet.

Suddenly her buttocks hurt, it turned out that a snake bit the most fleshy and tender part of her body, Tian Bao grabbed the snake and threw it back into the river very quickly, "Are you okay?" ”

Gu Changsheng shook his head, and after calming down, he found himself and Tian Bao sitting on top of a blooming lotus flower. The flower was huge, pure white in color, and carried the two of them towards the other side of the Lechuan River, where the water became clear and clean, and the snakes and insects retreated.

A ghost cha saw this vision and said in surprise, "The underworld has not grown grass and trees for thousands of years, how can there be lotus." ”

The lotus floated to the opposite bank, Tian Bao reached the unbroken stone fence on the Nai He Bridge, went ashore first, and then pulled Gu Changsheng up, she glanced at the ghost gate, and said, "Take advantage of the broken Nai He Bridge, the ghost has no way to chase after me, you go quickly." ”

Changsheng's hat fell off the moment she fell into the water, and her identity had been recognized, if she didn't run away quickly, it would be even more of a crime to pretend to be a ghost. Tian Bao said, "If there is still fate, see you in the next life." ”

Gu Changsheng glanced at Tian Bao for the last time, his mind was turning, and Tian Bao's deception was more sad. She got up from the ground, heard the first rooster crow, and hurried out of the ghost door that was about to be closed.

The young man flew to the front of the ghost gate, and the king of Hades followed closely to chase after him, and the young man swiped his index finger, and a sea of fire appeared in front of him to block the way of the king of Hades. squeezed in at the last moment of the ghost gate, but it was extremely unfortunate, the hem of his clothes was caught by the stone door and slipped off, and he didn't wear anything inside.

Gu Changsheng stared at it for a while, then he couldn't restrain himself and shouted loudly, "Ahh

The young man slowly tore the hem of his clipped shirt and warned, "Shut up, do you know who is at loss, and then call me to burn you." ”

Changsheng shut up.

The boy put his clothes back on and asked, "Who are you holy?" The underworld has accumulated too much resentment over the past 10,000 years and can't give birth to grass and trees, but you can make the Lichuan River grow lotus, I'm afraid that even the star monarch in the sky can't do it. ”

Gu Changsheng shook his hand in fear, "I don't know anything." "The person in front of her is really cruel, how many souls have been burned by a fire, if she is not happy to deal with her, she will also be in danger.

The boy came and pinched her chin, looked left and right, from her eyes to her mouth, and finally came to a conclusion, "You don't look like a person with magical powers." ”

"I just want to return to the yang, my stepfather is still waiting for me to go back and take care of me."

At this time, a second rooster crow. The young man let go of his hand and said with a playful smile, "You want to return the yang?" Is that going to be quicker? He saw that Changsheng looked like he didn't dare to ask, and said, "Now the rooster crows, it should be Yinshi, just wait for the time to pass, the sun comes out, if you still can't walk out of this Huangquan Road......"

No matter how stupid she was, she could hear that there was something in the words, and she whispered along with the young man's words, "What will happen?" ”

"I don't care, as for you—" He thought for a moment how to describe it, and then caught a glimpse of the rag that had been torn and caught in the closed door, and he stretched out his index finger and tapped it, and the cloth suddenly burst into flames and burned to ashes, "It's nothing, it's just ashes." ”

Gu Changsheng turned around in horror to look at the Huangquan Road, the long road was filled with smoke that could not be dispersed, and he couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and he was wailing in his heart, where was she going.
