Chapter 30 Lethe River
Song Yu looked at Du Shi Niang, who was crying a little delirious, and her mood was as heavy as a thousand catties. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, I'm very similar to her!
"Actually, this bet is completely beneficial to you. If so, if you win the bet, you will no longer have to suffer the pain of never being able to enter samsara; If you don't win, you won't have anything to lose. Isn't it? ”
Du Siniang slowly calmed down, she reached out to wipe away the red tears hanging on her face, leaving mottled traces, and a gorgeous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she couldn't hide the choking in her voice: "Bet, why don't you bet?" The old lady was fed up with being in this river, it was all disgusting filth and stench. ”
Even though Song Yu agreed with what she said, she was ...... Forehead...... The rough language was embarrassed, and he looked down at the watch he was wearing on his wrist, hiding the unnatural expression on his face.
"Now, wait, twelve o'clock is the weakest time for yin and yang, it's almost there."
In that world, all the people had no shadows, their bodies were floating in mid-air, as if they had just been salvaged from cold storage, and they didn't feel anything at the same time. It's the gap between the walls, and everything becomes very unfamiliar.
Time, eleven fifty-nine o'clock.
Song Yu took out the Bodhi, and made a few movements, and it floated in the air, glowing with golden light. In the distance, I saw a closed gate in front of me, with two white lanterns hanging on it, scratching their heads in the breeze.
"Let's go ......" Song Yu shouted, pulling Du Siniang and running, Du Siniang didn't think much about it, closed her eyes, and rushed forward after him.
When she opened her eyes again, Du Shi Niang saw a long river, and there was a black wooden archway above, on which three big characters were written with a small seal 'Lechuan River', and the pen stroke was flowing smoothly. The surroundings were covered with red mandalas, as far as the eye could see, and the whole was filled with a white mist, and the colors all looked monotonous and gray, except for the enchanting flowers that added a touch of color.
Du Siniang smelled a strange smell, she looked down, the red placket was stained with the river water, making a sizzling sound, bubbling and instantly disappearing. She slipped and took a few steps back.
"What's wrong?" Song Yu realized her gaffe and asked with concern.
"It's okay...... It's okay......" Du Siniang glanced at the torn skirt, frowned slightly, and heard a worried voice above her head, so she raised her head and replied in shock.
She looked at the winding Lechuan River, hooked her lips, and asked, "How are we going to get here?" ”
Song Yu took out the Bodhi that he had just recovered, and was afraid that the water would soak out from below, so he cautiously tested the reality of the stones by the river, and only after he was sure that it was okay did he move on to the next step.
Finally, approaching the river, Song Yu bent down slightly, stretched out his hand and put Bodhi in, the huge Bodhi could completely float on the water, Du Siniang was stunned by this scene, and complained silently in her heart, this world is so unfair, I can't float this wisp of soul, that piece of thing looks very heavy, okay!
Bodhi miraculously changed, and you can vaguely see it gritting its teeth, why is it bad, actually put it into this smoky miasma Lechuan River? It stretched, shook its body, and wailed with tears streaming down its face.
Song Yu stepped on a gravel closest to the river, carefully tiptoed, jumped over, and landed on the boat transformed by Bodhi like a flying swallow.
Xiaozhou swayed slightly because of his weight, and when he stood firm, he slowly said to Du Shi Niang, who was standing by the river, "Come up!" ”
Du Siniang was stunned when she heard this, bit her red lip, and shrugged innocently with a pair of black and white phoenix eyes: "How do you go up?" Don't you know that I can't swim in this river? ”
"Float here, when you fight with me, aren't you quite able to fly?"
Du Shi Niang held her cheeks, made a thinking motion, and then nodded approvingly: "Hmm...... You have a point. However, my clothes are too long, and I will definitely fly over it, and it will definitely not be able to keep it......" She paused, lowered her head and tugged at the clothes on her body that was missing a corner, looking like she was in pain.
Song Yu was really speechless, rubbed her sore temples, and suddenly felt that compared to the one in front of her, Gu Danying was actually quite easy to serve, could it be that women are like this?
Oh......
"I didn't hesitate to throw so many treasures into the river, and I didn't see you distressed."
Du Siniang raised her head, she was not angry, and sighed twice: "Hmph, if you don't want to make that stinky man regret it, do you think the old lady wants to throw it?" She spat hatefully: "No, if you have a good reputation by mistake, that man deserves to be scolded for thousands of years." ”
Forehead...... Women can't be messed with, this is an important rule of survival.
The two sat cross-legged one after the other, and the boat moved slowly in the direction of the current.
Du Siniang was closing her eyes at this time, her ears hidden in her hair moved, and she heard the sound of rustling, the sound became louder and louder, she couldn't help but open her eyes and look, she was frightened by the scene in front of her, and goosebumps sprung up all over her body like mushrooms after a rain.
On the edge of the boat, a pair of hands that showed their bones were densely crawling. Some of the upper skin had fallen off a piece, and it hung limply beside it; Some of them were wriggling with white maggots, and it was as if they had accidentally swallowed flies, and the inside of their stomachs was stirring.
"Hey......" She whispered to Song Yu, who was sitting in front of her, hugged her arms and rubbed them uncontrollably, swallowing the saliva choked in her throat.
Song Yu maintained his original posture, his eyes were closed, his thin lips were slightly open, and his voice was faint: "Don't look at them, don't move, they can't come up." ”
Although Du Shi Niang was puzzled, she didn't refute it, she simply closed her eyes again, and her eyes were out of sight.
After a while, feeling that the atmosphere around him had eased somewhat, Song Yu stopped tapping his index finger on his lap, he slowly opened his eyes, and turned his head to look at the ghost who was already far away and did not dare to approach.
There was a flash of pity in his eyes, and he was soon hidden in the boundless darkness.
Actually, what's wrong with them is just some poor people! After the vain death, the resentment was too heavy, even if there were a lot of money, no ghost was willing to do their business, afraid of being innocently implicated and falling into the Lethe River. Alone, there is no spirit boat to cross the river, if it flows across the Lechuan River, it is fine, if it can't, it will only end up with a never-ending reincarnation, in this dark place, become one of the flowers on the vast other side.
"Docked ......"
The ghost threw the rope over, and the sharp hook hooked the hull of the boat at once, and the ghost easily collected the rope at the other end, and while tying knots in the stake, he kept chanting: "Come down, come down, dock......"
Song Yu got up slowly, put his hands in his pockets, and walked down the boat silently.
"You stop......" Song Yu turned around and stared at the shouting ghost in front of him, his eyes deep.
"That's you." The ghost took a few steps forward, walked up to Song Yu, sniffed, frowned and said to himself suspiciously: "This smell is not right on your body!" "But he was not a living man.
Du Shi Niang chuckled in her heart, she didn't have Song Yu's composure at all, there were fine sweat stains on her forehead, and she said in her heart, it's over.
The ghost couldn't find out why, so he waved his hand impatiently: "Let's go...... Let's go......"
Du Shi Niang saw that she had passed the test in a daze, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The two walked around the long path, and came to a strangely shaped mound of sealed soil, which was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, the face was like a bow back, the back was like a bowstring, and a stone step was paved in the center of the sword tree in the sword mountain, only to see a stone tablet erected next to it, which was covered with a thick layer of dust, Du Shi Niang stepped forward, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and cleaned it carefully. It turns out that there is also this kind of here, and those who take the front of the public house and do not work.
"Wangxiangtai ......" Du Siniang cleared her throat, looked at the handwriting that was clearly revealed, and read slowly.
"Go up?"
"No ......"
"Can't you put it down?"
Du Siniang raised her head and looked at the pile of sealed soil in front of her, and there was some faint expectation in her heart. Wangxiang Terrace, as the name suggests, overlooks the high platform of the hometown.
"Then you wait...... I'll go up and take a look......" Du Siniang said softly.
