Chapter Seventy-One: The Way of Reincarnation
All the way to the front of the team, the huge wall that I saw under the Nai He Bridge before was in front of me, but this wall was still too different from what Luo Xiaoyan thought.
The wall is like a huge ancient city wall, and when you look up, you can also see a plaque with three big characters written in ancient official script: reincarnation road. Although it is not far from the ancient city wall, there are six gates on the city wall, or more accurately, it looks like six caves.
The procession is in front of the six caves, and from the outside, you can even see the polished and smooth walls of the mountains. Above the mountain wall, there are starry dots of light that illuminate the path in the dark cave.
Outside each cave, there is a long table, and on top of the long table, there are large piles of record books. Behind the long table, two minotaurs sat there, one taking notes and the other sorting them out. From beginning to end, the movements of the two did not pause in the slightest, and it has long become a habit to become proficient in these tasks.
"Here, you guys wait here for a while, don't run around!" The horse-faced man who led the two of them to the city wall gave a word of advice, and then walked to the minotaur behind the long table.
"Is there a soul running away?" Feeling the approach of the horse-faced man, the minotaur who was sorting out the records asked without raising his head.
The horse-faced man shook his head, stretched out his hand and pressed the record book in front of the minotaur and spoke: "Bring a soul to come and cut the line, you guys hurry up and arrange it!" ”
On the side, the minotaur who was recording suddenly slapped the pen in his hand on the table, regardless of the soul in front of him, he stood up directly and looked at the horse-faced man, and said in a shocked and angry tone: "The underworld has the rules of the underworld, how can you cut the queue casually?" Wherever you come from, you also take it back to line up, come according to the rules! ”
didn't expect that a cut in line would cause such a big reaction from the minotaur, and the horse-faced man couldn't help but be a little stunned. After a long time, Ma Mian muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you also cut the queue before?" As for it? ”
Although the voice was very small, it was still heard by the minotaur, and he couldn't help but glare at the horse-faced man angrily: "It was before, and now it is now!" Honestly, did you take a bribe from your soul? ”
The horse-faced man was stunned for a moment, as if he was greatly frightened, and immediately shook his head in denial: "No, no, absolutely nothing!" I didn't take a bribe, I just wanted her to leave quickly, because a Grim Reaper came and sent a ghost! ”
"Death?" The anger in the Minotaur's eyes decreased, but his brows couldn't help frowning, "Bring the ghost here, take that Grim Reaper away immediately!" Death will not be allowed to appear in the places under our jurisdiction in the future! ”
The horse-faced man immediately responded happily, and then went to find Luo Xiaoyan and Grandpa Zheng. On the side of the long table, the horse-faced man who was sorting out the records looked at the minotaur who was recording and asked suspiciously: "Cutting in line is not allowed, is it really against the rules?" ”
"The soul is here, just wait here first." The recorded minotaur replied with a stern expression, "After the god of death has been sent away, bring the soul back to the place where he originally lined up, and you must not break the rules lightly!" ”
With that, the Minotaur finally sat down and continued to complete the recording of the long-waiting soul in front of him. Not far away, the horse-faced man who had obtained permission was telling the two of them the news that he was going to take Grandpa Zheng to the long table alone.
"For the first time, I want to say a few more words to Grandpa Zheng!" But at this time, Luo Xiaoyan stopped the behavior of the horse-faced man.
The horse-faced man glanced at Luo Xiaoyan, sighed impatiently, turned around and walked a little farther, letting Luo Xiaoyan and Grandpa Zheng talk alone. It's just that at this moment, the horse-faced people didn't forget to think about how to get Luo Xiaoyan out of here.
"Grandpa Zheng, this time you were reincarnated, and we will never see each other again in the future." Luo Xiaoyan looked at Grandpa Zheng with a little sad eyes, "I can't send you the rest of the way, be careful on the road!" ”
Grandpa Zheng always smiled, and his tone was extremely satisfied: "The last part of the road when I was a man was also you with me, and those two days were the happiest two days since I got old." Now that I'm dead and a ghost, you can send me off for the last stretch of the road, that's enough, it's really enough! ”
Luo Xiaoyan suddenly threw herself into Grandpa Zheng's arms and hugged him tightly: "Grandpa Zheng, I will miss you!" ”
"Thank you, kid!" Grandpa Zheng rubbed Luo Xiaoyan's head and smiled kindly.
In the distance, the horse-faced man who had been waiting for a while had already walked over impatiently, pulling Grandpa Zheng to walk towards the place where the long table was. Grandpa Zheng walked away, Luo Xiaoyan couldn't help but chase two steps, but soon stopped, and regardless of whether Grandpa Zheng could see it or not, he stood behind Grandpa Zheng and waved goodbye to him.
Grandpa Zheng was brought over, and the horse-faced man came back quickly, looking at Luo Xiaoyan, who had already brought the wide black robe brim in front of him, the horse-faced man only said to her, "Let's go."
Although Grandpa Zheng had been brought to the long table, the minotaur behind the long table just let Grandpa Zheng stand at the long table and continue to record the other souls. As one soul after another walked into the glittering cave, Grandpa Zheng always stood by the long table.
However, Luo Xiaoyan, who had already been taken away, no longer knew about it. In her opinion, Grandpa Zheng at this time had already entered the path of reincarnation and was reincarnated. After following the horse-faced man for a while, Luo Xiaoyan came out of the sadness of never seeing Grandpa Zheng again.
As I moved forward, the bridge finally reappeared in front of me as if it had disappeared under the city walls. It's just that I didn't pay attention before, and when I returned at this time, I looked under the bridge, only to find that the bridge was shrouded in thick fog. But when you look at it from the Lechuan River, the bridge is clearly visible.
Looking at the Nai He Bridge shrouded in fog in front of her, Luo Xiaoyan seemed to remember something, and looked at the horse-faced man beside her: "Do you know why I came to the Nai He Bridge?" ”
The horse-faced man looked at Luo Xiaoyan inexplicably, and couldn't react at all why Luo Xiaoyan suddenly asked such a thing. However, immediately after that, the horse-faced man glanced at Luo Xiaoyan with a disdainful look: "What else can you do to inquire about our affairs!" ”
Luo Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "That's not the case, I mean I seem to have lost a memory." I vaguely remember that I had entered the Lethe River by extradition, but after the extradition was completed, I had to go back. When I first came to the underworld, I also wanted to go up to the Nahe Bridge to see it, but the Grim Reaper didn't allow it, and then I gave up on this plan. But now, why did you run to the Nai He Bridge, and even the reincarnation path here? I don't even remember how I got up! ”
