Chapter 37: The First Entry into the Underworld
It's a paradise in front of you.
The long chain bridge stretches from the foot into the distance, where there seems to be a suspended island, surrounded by black streamers, although it cannot be described as fairy-like, but it is also a dusty existence.
Hua Mingming stepped onto the rope bridge and walked forward, and Baili Mozuka immediately followed.
A trace of mist wrapped around his ankles, and a slight coolness hit him, and Mozuka took off his coat and draped it over his shoulders.
The two of them walked to the middle of the bridge one after the other, stopped quietly, and saw the lake under the bridge through the heavy clouds and mist, crystal clear but seemed to be very far away.
His and her figures were reflected in the lake, each of them putting the image in their minds.
"It's beautiful here." Hua Ming said softly.
Baili Mozuka looked at the back of the underworld, and then looked around at the beautiful scenery, and had to admit that it was indeed beautiful.
In the past, every time he went to the underworld, he was in a hurry, and he never really felt the bridge, the lake, and the people here.
He laughed and said:
"It's beautiful, do you know what this place is?"
Styx looked back at him, expecting his answer, his eyes brushing his legs with a hint of heartache.
"This is the Nai Ho Bridge, the first stop in the underworld."
Then he pointed to the lake under the bridge,
"This is Lethe."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the underworld. But suddenly his head was raised.
"Who doesn't know, this bridge, this lake, and the island over there are all mine."
Hearing her say this, Baili Mozuka was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He hadn't laughed in a long time, and this time he really felt comfortable laughing.
After laughing, he said:
"You've become so ambitious now, then I hope I'll be your one of your people then."
Mingming's face changed, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly cooled.
"I'm afraid not."
Hua Mingming didn't linger any longer, turned around and continued to move on.
On the shore of Lethe Lake, on the bridge
him and her
Go to the unknown underworld.
When Hua Mingming's feet stood on this isolated island, she was really shocked.
What kind of island is this, this is clearly a lively city.
At this moment, I was outside the city gate, and there was a kind old woman selling tea soup next to her. There was a long line in front of her, and there was no end in sight.
"Meng Po." Baili Mozuka saw that Hua Mingming had been staring at the old woman, and introduced it to her in a short way.
He was relieved, and then looked at the people who were hurrying in and out of the city gate, but these people never looked at the procession in front of Meng Po, and their hearts were full of doubts.
"These people who come in and out of the underworld, they can't see the souls from the human world, of course the two of us are different."
Glancing at Baili Mozuka, Mozuka asked puzzledly:
"What am I doing, I am kind enough to introduce it to you?"
Hua Ming said angrily:
"Hey, do you understand, I'm a princess of the underworld, and I want someone else to tell me this?" After that, he strode into the city gate, leaving behind him with an innocent face of Baili Mozuka.
In fact, the underworld is the same as the human world, it has countries, territories, cities and people. With the development of history, the underworld is constantly changing.
The most powerful country in the underworld in the depths of the Flower Tomb and the Hundred Miles Ink Tomb - Ding, here is the capital city - Wuding. There are also small countries scattered all over the world, unlike the countries in the human world that are independent and implement foreign policies with each other, the small countries in the underworld are all subservient to Ding.
As the underworld master of the Ding Kingdom, Baili Xuan has to admit that he is indeed quite capable, and he governs the entire underworld well, people live and work in peace and contentment, and the city is thriving. However, he is also merciless to any forces that oppose him. So for the Hua Ming faction, he definitely can't tolerate it.
This is also the first time that Baili Mozuka has visited the market of the underworld, unlike the underworld who is amazed while watching, he just sighs from the bottom of his heart that the underworld is not only a dark hell.
It's not much different from the streets of the human world, with neat shops lining the streets and all kinds of advertising slogans filling the doorways. Wandering, sightseeing, passing, and all kinds of people walk on the spacious streets.
Different from the human world, the costumes of the people here are relatively simple, and most of them are still ancient costumes, long skirts and robes. At first glance, Hua Mingming and Baili Mozuka look like people who have traveled back from modern times.
Hua Mingming walked in front without blinking his eyes, which really felt very novel.
After Baili Mozuka walked away, he had no interest in these scenes in front of him, just stared blankly at the back of the underworld.
Walking through this straight street, a right turn, and a magnificent mansion appeared on the opposite side of the left hand, with a plaque hanging in the middle of the gate - Ten Yama Mansion.
This is Baili Mozuka's house in the underworld, Baili Xuan gave him a number of golden fields and courtyards, and he just gave it all to the housekeeper to deal with, and he walked in the human world for a long time.
At this time, the housekeeper was already guarding outside the gate, and when he saw the figure of Baili Mozun from a distance, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Your Excellency, are you back?"
Baili Mozuka nodded and didn't say much. The housekeeper couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw an extra girl beside his master.
I have been following Baili Mozuka for a few years, and it is the first time I have seen the master bring a girl back to the house, and I dare not slack off at the moment, and I warmly welcomed Hua Mingming into the house.
What puzzled him deeply was that this girl had been walking in front of the Hundred Miles Mound, and had not been polite at all.
And the adults of their own family were also conniving, silently following behind the girl.
I only felt that I had entered several doors before I arrived at the main hall.
Hua Mingming looked around this room, it was clean and elegant, it seemed that even if Baili Mozun was not at home, the people in the family were also taking care of it very carefully.
She nodded slightly,
"Not bad."
Then I sat directly in the top seat of the living room.
The housekeeper glanced at the Baili Mozun, and saw that he did not have the slightest look of annoyance, so he withdrew without further ado.
"Are you satisfied?"
Baili Mozuka asked.
Hua Ming asked:
"Satisfied with what?"
"This home."
Baili Mozun sat beside Shen Ming and looked at her.
Styx shrugged his shoulders and replied:
"What does your home need me to be satisfied with? I'm a prisoner now! ”
Baili Mozuka smiled:
"No prisoner has yet come to my house. If you think you're a prisoner, I'll keep you here. ”
After saying that, he went out of the main hall, summoned the butler at the door and gave a few words, and left first.
The butler walked in and said respectfully:
"I'm the housekeeper Ah Fu, and my lord asked me to take my wife to the courtyard where I live."
Shocked and said:
"What, what, ma'am? Who is your wife, you also call me sir, do you hear? ”
"What's this, lead the way."
The butler led the darkness through several large gardens, and finally entered a small secluded courtyard.
He picked a small, very plainly furnished room, and the butler then left.
Alone in his room, he began to think about it.
Maybe Uber will find her soon.
But why do you want to stay here?
