Chapter 56: Lethe River Attracts Souls
"Lord Yao is really lucky!"
Zhuge Linglong's words made Yao Jiyong puzzled for a while.
"What do you mean by that?" Yao Jiyong asked coldly.
Zhuge Linglong didn't answer him. Instead, he kept looking at Yao Lei's face. In Zhuge Linglong's eyes, Yao Lei constantly had black gas coming out.
And, under Zhuge Linglong's gaze, Yao Lei slowly crawled out of his shoulder. The hand was blue-gray in color, and the nails were long and pointed. Zhuge Linglong was sure that this was definitely not the hand of those present.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a grimace with seven orifices bleeding and a cloak slammed down on Zhuge Linglong from Yao Lei's chest.
The yin wind blew Zhuge Linglong's cheeks and blew her sideburns and messy hair.
"You... You're not afraid of me?" the grimace stopped three inches in front of Zhuge Linglong. Asked strangely.
Zhuge Linglong's forehead had a light flickering, Zhuge Linglong didn't open his mouth, but a voice that only she and Grimace could hear came from Zhuge Linglong's forehead to Grimace's ears.
"Your soul is not gone, you must have grievances, it is better to leave Yao Lei's body first, listen to me, and then I will find a way to help you. ”
"No, I want him dead!"
The blood and tears in the grimace hole quickly shrank back into Yao Lei's body.
In an instant, Yao Lei trembled. A miserable white face looked at Zhuge Linglong fiercely, and his eyes also flashed with a vicious and fierce light.
Zhuge Linglong was alert when he saw this. At this moment, Yao Lei suddenly pinched Zhuge Linglong's neck with both hands.
"Lei'er is presumptuous!" Yao Jiyong suddenly saw Yao Lei go crazy and pounced on Zhuge Linglong. immediately shouted, and reached out to press Yao Lei to the ground.
"Girl, are you alright?" Yao Jiyong hurriedly asked.
Zhuge Linglong withdrew the sword finger in his sleeve and shook his head slightly, "It's okay." ”
Yao Jiyong sighed. "Girl." Can I still be saved?"
Zhuge Linglong thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Yes." But we won't have to wait until tonight. In this way, Lord Yao will wait here first, and at night, Linglong will come to the rescue. ”
"Okay, well, the girl will do whatever she wants. Yao Jiyong nodded again and again. Looking all over the capital, there is no one who can say with such certainty that Yao Lei can save Yao Lei. Shunjian, Yao Jiyong saw hope in Zhuge Linglong.
Zhuge Linglong nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the Tingchao Pavilion.
came to the Listening Tide Pavilion, Zhuge Linglong found Zhuge Luo who was in the Listening Tide Pavilion, scratching his ears and cheeks.
told Zhuge Luo what had happened, and then the two came to the apse of Tingchao Pavilion.
The apse of Tingchao Pavilion was originally a large hall, which was changed into a medicine hall by Zhuge Linglong.
Zhuge Linglong took out a lot of medicines from the medicine shelf and let Zhuge Luo grind them into powder.
And he also put the ink from the inner sanctum, and found yellow paper and a red pen.
Yao Jiyong on the side looked at the busy Zhuge sisters, and was puzzled for a while.
"Master, how does this seem to be trying to make an altar?" said the butler quietly.
"Shhh Now they can do anything. As long as Lei'er's illness can be cured. Although Yao Jiyong was worried, his eyes were still full of hope.
Zhuge Linglong and the others were busy for a long time, and finally prepared the things they were going to prepare.
"Lord Yao, take Gongzi Yao to the middle of the hall, remember not to let him run around. Zhuge Linglong commanded.
"Good. Yao Jiyong agreed without thinking about it.
Under Yao Lei's frantic resistance, Yao Jiyong forcibly sent Yao Lei to the palace. Forcibly pressed him to the ground.
Yao Lei entered the hall, Zhuge Linglong came to Zhuge Luo's side, looked at the sky, and the time was almost up.
"For a while, stay in the temple and don't come out. He gave Zhuge Luo a word of advice, and then Zhuge handed over the prepared things to Zhuge Luo, "Hang them around the main hall according to what I told you." ”
"Got it, cousin!" Zhuge Luo picked up the yellow paper and ran around the hall.
Zhuge Linglong also walked around the main hall. After hanging the strips of yellow paper in the eight directions of the main hall, Zhuge Linglong began to scribble on the yellow paper again.
After painting the yellow paper, Zhuge Linglong picked up the red pen again, mixed the medicinal herbs in the ink, and then drew four strange patterns on the ground of the main hall, and the four patterns were connected together to form a complete picture.
"Formation?" Yao Jiyong's eyes condensed slightly, and he was slightly shocked in his heart. Zhuge Linglong, a woman who was only eighteen years old, was able to draw a formation, which shocked him.
"Okay, just wait until the time is up!" Zhuge Linglong finished speaking, and walked out of the formation.
took the hat from the wall, and Zhuge Luo didn't know where to find a pole and handed it to Zhuge Linglong.
Zhuge Linglong sat outside the formation, wearing a hat, holding a pole, and quietly looked at Yao Lei.
And so it went until midnight.
"Soul is terrible, cross the river with me, cross the river!"
As soon as midnight arrived, a gust of wind rolled up in the hall, and the yellow paper hunting sound in the hall was loud.
The moonlight that came in from outside the hall gradually turned red, and the entire Tingchao Pavilion looked very strange at this time.
"Buzz"
The blood-colored moonlight shone on the formation lines drawn by the red pen on the ground, and a trace of cold aura shrouded Yao Lei from the void.
"Ahh
Suddenly, Yao Lei raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and then collapsed to the ground. Yao Jiyong hurriedly helped Yao Lei up, but found that Yao Lei's face gradually became bloody at this time, and his body was no longer cold.
"Thank you..."
"Shh
Yao Jiyong just wanted to thank him, but Zhuge Luo shook his head again and again. Seeing this, Yao Jiyong hurriedly silenced.
On the other side, although Zhuge Linglong's eyes were open, he did not have the slightest look. The whole person is like an empty shell.
This is an out-of-body characteristic.
And Zhuge Linglong's soul was driving a bamboo raft on a cold river, slowly moving forward.
The water under the raft is sulphur-coloured, and bubbles float out of the river from time to time. On the surface of the river, it is also thick and diffuse, and it is difficult to see things clearly from a hundred paces.
Zhuge Linglong had a lantern floating in front of him that had been glowing red, guiding Zhuge Linglong in the direction of progress.
Zhuge Linglong floated slowly, without boundaries and without purpose.
I don't know how long it took, and there was a whisper in Zhuge Linglong's ears.
"Come down, come down. ”
"Did you kill me? No, she's wearing red!"
"Hey, hey, hey"
A whisper, as if in the ear, but also as if far away.
At the same time, in the fog in front of Zhuge Linglong's eyes, at some point, a small boat came from opposite her.
There was a person standing on the boat, holding the boat, wearing a bamboo hat, and moving forward quietly with his head down.
As he passed by Zhuge Linglong, the man slowly tilted his head, revealing a rotten face.
"Girl, give me a ride!
The eerie laughter reached Zhuge Linglong's ears.
"No road, no door. Ruthless, no complaints. Forget the river and the river, there are two ways of people and ghosts!" Zhuge Linglong didn't look back, but just said a word.
When the man heard this, his two flickering pupils flickered for a moment, and then he turned around and continued to walk forward.
As he got farther away, the man whispered leisurely, "The road to Huangquan is long, the water of the forgotten river is deep, turn back early." ”
Zhuge Linglong paused the bamboo pole in his hand slightly, and smiled, "Only one person crosses, don't ask the other side!"
"Alas"
In the thick fog, there was a long sigh. There seems to be a thousand melancholy.
Then Zhuge Linglong continued to move forward, and along the way, Zhuge Linglong saw many people driving boats, but without exception, these were all dead people.
Gradually, the surrounding scene gradually changed. The number of people who sailed the boats gradually became scarce. However, there are more pedestrians walking on the river.
Zhuge Linglong's gaze swept around, and for a moment he saw a figure shining red in the crowd.
"Found it!"
The bamboo raft turned its head, and Zhuge Linglong passed through the crowd and came to the figure that flashed red.
The man was a woman with a deep wound on her neck.
Zhuge Linglong stretched out his hand and pulled the man onto the bamboo raft. Then, he hurriedly turned the bamboo raft and ran out.
"Bang la la"
Suddenly. The surface of the river suddenly boiled, and half of the huge snake tail was lifted from the surface of the river.
"It's over, I've been caught!" Zhuge Linglong stuck out her tongue slightly, looking embarrassed.
"It's you again!"
The top of his head suddenly darkened, and a face with a hundred feet suddenly appeared in front of Zhuge Linglong.
The human face, under the face, was the body of a snake. The snake's body is red and yellow, shining with a strange halo.
"This is the second time you've fished people out of the underworld!" said to Zhuge Linglong, with a slightly bowed face.
"Hehehe, Lord Candle Dragon, it's just this once. Never come again next time!" Zhuge Linglong clasped his hands together and laughed.
"Hmph, you've been wandering around the underworld since you were a child. Have you had enough?" the candle dragon snorted coldly and asked angrily.
"Hehe, I didn't miss you before. I didn't come to chat with you that time, but to talk until you fell asleep!" Zhuge Linglong said with a dry smile.
The candle dragon was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Child, your parents have crossed the Yellow Spring, crossed the Nai He Bridge, and when they reach the other side, you can't catch them!"
Zhuge Linglong's eyes dimmed slightly. Qiang smiled and said, "It's okay, if you can't catch them, just catch some others." ”
"Stinky girl, it's too much!" the candle dragon scolded angrily. Then, after a pause, "I'll send you back!" Look for me directly next time you come, and I'll send you directly to whoever you like, don't be sneaky, it's not safe on Lechuan, and Huangquan is even more dangerous. You guy, good luck doesn't always follow you. ”
Candle Dragon, like an elder, instructed Zhuge Linglong for a while.
"Hehe, thank you, Uncle Candle Dragon!" Zhuge Linglong hurriedly smiled.
