Chapter 002: On the Bridge
All ghosts, if they enter the reincarnation, they must walk the path of evil and evil, travel for about ten miles, to a water, not a few feet wide, and flow to the southwest. This so-called Nai River, its source comes from the underworld, and its water is bloody, and the filth cannot be approached. Because there is a bridge on the river, it is called "Nai River Bridge". There is Meng Po blocking the road on the bridge, day and night wandering gods blocking the way, where to cross this bridge, you need to drink ecstasy soup, forget the grievances of the previous life, before you can enter the reincarnation hall. The river of blood under the bridge, full of insects and snakes, the heinous do not need to cross the bridge, they are thrown off the bridge, and suffer the pain of soul annihilation, so that they can become beasts.
The land that has been going on for thousands of years has begun to change.
This has to start from a time many years ago, it is said that black and white impermanence took the soul chain to inspect the world, in order to make up enough people, he went back to the underworld earlier to participate in Meng Po's birthday, but accidentally hooked the wrong person, hooked the wrong person, it is a common thing, but this time black and white impermanence hooked a Western missionary back to the underworld. It can be said that there is a difference between the East and the West, the Eastern Yama Hall does not care about the reincarnation of Westerners, and several judges of the Reincarnation Hall cannot reincarnate this Western missionary, and the body left in the world has already been cremated, so this Western missionary has become a lonely ghost. The four judges took pity on his plight and recommended him to be a ghost errand by Hades' side.
This is amazing, who knows that this missionary is very eloquent, and he keeps instilling in the Yama kings how to humanize the Western Shura Palace, and actually persuaded the Ten Halls of Yama to start the mood of rectifying the Yama Palace.
The Yama Hall is majestic and magnificent, condensing the 10,000-year inheritance of oriental architectural history, of course, it cannot be said that it will change. However, the mountain of bones covered with bloody corpses is indeed a bit contrary to humanity.
There was an old woman sitting on the bridge, and her hands holding the ecstasy soup began to shake and tremble, she was the Meng Po who was in charge of the bridge. Before the ecstasy soup was fed to the ghosts on the bridge, most of the bowl had been shaken off, the amount of medicine was not enough, and the memories of the ghosts could not be completely erased. Even the ghosts who had done countless evils in their previous lives fell into the animal path, and they were able to dominate the animal circle and become stallions.
The sharp-eyed Western missionaries then reported the matter to the kings of Hades, saying that Meng Po was against the way of heaven, and that Meng Po was too old and should retire.
The kings of Hades thanked Meng Po for serving the Yama Hall for thousands of years, and there were no major violations of discipline and regulations, and occasionally they could send some gifts to honor themselves, so they couldn't bear to dismiss in public and private, so they gave Meng Po the punishment of staying on probation. In order to strengthen their position, Western missionaries are constantly thinking of new things to improve their efficiency. actually persuaded the king of Hades to equip Meng Po with a computer, to see if she could adapt, this trick is ruthless enough, it is to push Meng Po off the stage to avenge the past.
In order to thank the king of Hades for his unrelenting grace, and not wanting to lose to Western missionaries, Meng Po worked tirelessly to learn the Western thing of computers. Ten thin fingers, trembling and trembling on the keyboard, the most used key, or delete the key, because Meng Po's fingers often do not obey the call and press the wrong one. It may be that she stays on the cold Nai He Bridge all year round, and Meng Po can't escape rheumatism.
On this day, Black and White Impermanence came to the Nai He Bridge with a group of ghosts, watching Meng Po leaning on her body, her hands trembling and tapping on the keyboard, and her eyes were about to close to the screen in front of her.
"Hey, this miscellaneous piece from the West is really fucking ruthless, didn't it catch his soul by mistake, which made the people of the underworld panic, and even Meng Po and her old man were poisoned by him."
Hei Wuchang looked at Meng Po's hard work, and felt a little anxious, no matter how Meng Po was also their direct boss, the two often hooked the wrong soul, it was Meng Po who helped to hide the past, if Meng Po fell, the two of them would not be much better.
"What's even more hateful is that Western miscellaneous actually instigated Hades to install a JPS positioning system for us, which can track our location at any time, so that we don't even dare to be lazy." Bai Wuchang's vicious expression almost bit off his long tongue in excitement.
"Be quiet, listen to the bull-headed horse face next to the judge, what eyes are installed everywhere in the Yama Palace, you can see and hear others talking." Hei Wuchang walked towards the bridge with some helplessness.
"Meng Po, black and white impermanence come to make a difference."
Riyoushen bent down and put his mouth to Meng Po's ear and said.
Meng Po slowly raised her head, but she didn't look at the impermanence of black and white, maybe she didn't hear the prayer of the Sun Wandering God at all. It's just that he came to the front of the Night Wandering God, and carefully looked at this person, and it was the Night Wandering God who dragged his voice and said: "You two go back to Lord Judge, the computer here is dead again, prompting that you should upgrade the system that will die if you ask anything." ”
"Ask all dead?"
Day and night Youshen was a little puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask, they looked at the computer, everything asked was dead, it was a Windows10 system, day and night Youshen wanted to laugh, Meng Po was really old, it seemed that he couldn't stay in this big post for a long time, but they didn't dare to laugh in front of Meng Po, because Meng Po's status was one level bigger than them. The wandering spirit was helpless day and night, and then flew over the Nai He Bridge in a fluttering manner, and swept towards the place where the judge of the reincarnation hall was.
"How can there be four black and white impermanences? Is it that the Hades Palace has changed the system, and the staff has been added to it, why don't you notify the old woman and me in advance? Meng Po looked at the black and white impermanence at the end of the bridge and said in a trilled voice.
Poor Meng Po is a lot older, and she has to face a high-radiation computer, her eyes are not very good, and now she has to face a dazzling display screen all day long, presbyopia, glaucoma, and cataracts are entangled with Meng Po. It seems that Meng Po is really not far from retirement.
Black and white impermanence was also asked inexplicably, and he stuck out his long tongue and asked, "Meng Po, you are always wrong, just the two of us." ”
As soon as Meng Po stood up, she began to sway from side to side, as if she had been sitting for a long time and suddenly felt dizzy, although she was on crutches, her body did not obey the call and swayed from side to side, as if she was in danger of falling under the bridge.
However, under the bridge, there are insects and snakes all over the river, and the poisonous blood and yin qi are very heavy, even if they are immortals, they have to take off a layer of skin if they fall and don't die, and Meng Po is old and frail, how can she withstand such torture. Black and white impermanence hurriedly stepped forward to support Meng Po, so that Meng Po would not really fall under the bridge.
"Meng Po, why are you suffering, you are so old, and you are so diligent, it is better to take the secret recipe of ecstasy soup to reincarnate and go to the world to sell what to forget your worries, it is better than suffering here. I heard that people in the 21st century had better take this bite. ”
Hei Wuchang is somewhat sympathetic to Meng Po's experience, a once commanding character, but now he has ended up in such a pitiful end.
"You kid be quiet, fortunately, the computer crashed just now, and the monitoring next to it was also broken, otherwise your words would be heard by the king of Hades, and I am afraid that you will not have a chance to be a ghost."
Meng Po's eyes brightened, and she pointed to a place next to her with her eyes and said. The black and white impermanence eyes then looked at it, and they also shuddered in their hearts, and sure enough, it was hidden enough, if it wasn't for Meng Po's reminder, it would be difficult for them to find that there was actually an eye hidden here.
The two were surprised to see that Meng Po's eyes were bright, and she looked like she had presbyopia, glaucoma or cataracts. Meng Po's body also suddenly became hard, without that shaky form, and her fingers no longer trembled. At this moment, Meng Po looks energetic, even if she works for another 10,000 years, it will be no problem.
Faced with the impermanence of black and white, Meng Po showed a smile on her mouth that made even ghosts elusive. "The West Ghost is too arrogant, and he needs to avoid his edge. You two little ghosts are too reckless, and you have to think more about doing things. ”
Black and white impermanence hesitated for a while, and finally understood Meng Po's intentions, it turned out that the old dragon clock shown by Meng Po was deliberately pretended. Just now, he deliberately took away the day and night wandering god, also because the day and night wandering god had already been bought by the Western miscellaneous pieces, promising them that once Meng Po retired, they would be in charge of the Nai He Bridge. What kind of character Meng Po is, how can she not see the Tao in it. Pretend to be old and frail, do not seek merit but no fault, relax the attention of the other party's vigilance, so that at the right time, find a proper reason, and then give the other party a fatal blow, so that the other party will disappear forever in their own territory.
"What did the old man tell you?"
"Don't worry, your subordinates won't let you down this time."
The corners of the black and white impermanence showed a sinister and vicious smile on the corner of his mouth, this time he could ruthlessly drive the Western miscellaneous out of the Yama Palace.
At this time, there was a row of ghosts waiting to erase their memories on the other side of the bridge, and they didn't wear soul shackles around their necks, so they could actually walk on the ground. It is said that the body of the ghost is too light, and if it were not for the Soul Pill, their ghost body would be like being in a vacuum, and they would not be able to walk freely at all. But now it is a little different, the Western adviser of Lord Yama, that is, the Western missionary who was mistakenly hooked, is also said to be an inventor, based on the Western novel The Lord of the Rings as the source of inspiration, actually invented a thing called "Ghost Ring", which is much higher than the soul shackle currently used in the Hades Palace, and it is easy to carry.
In the past, black and white impermanence could catch a thousand ghosts at a time, but this reform, using the Ghost Ring, is indeed much more convenient, and it can catch two thousand ghosts. But black and white impermanence is resistant, they do not like the Western miscellaneous, and of course they strongly resist his invention. However, if the boss speaks, they can only act according to orders and secretly engage in small actions, which is still okay.
Black and white impermanence was instructed by Meng Po to go to the world to hook the souls, in addition to hooking the souls of those who should die, but also to do something that heaven and earth do not tolerate, and the ghosts and gods are angry.
************************
Wu Liao, a young man in the 21st century, 27 years old, works hard, is filial to his parents, does not do anything illegal and undisciplined, and takes the initiative to hand over the money to the police uncle, even if his money is often stolen. Crossing the street and holding the grandmother's hand is regarded as taking the initiative to hold hands with the opposite sex, and is not refused. Such a good person should live a long life, but it is still difficult to mix well in the 21st century.
On a dark and windy night, Wu Liao was the same as his name, so bored that he held his right hand with his left hand, wandering around the night view of West Lake, with people coming and going on the broken bridge, and couples walking by Wu Liao intimately in pairs, as if intentionally or unintentionally trampling on Wu Liao's lonely and fragile heart.
This is just coming out to relax, it's simply coming out to add blockage. Just as Wu Liao was desperate and wanted to escape from this place that had blocked him, he suddenly heard someone arguing behind him.
"If you don't marry me, I'll jump."
"I don't have a car, a house, or a deposit, what should I marry you?"
"It's okay to say it's okay, I'll buy it if I don't have a car, I'll buy it if I don't have a house, and I'll give you all the money in my card."
The woman is good-looking, with a YY Internet celebrity face, which belongs to the cute type. The man is really not good-looking, not as tall as Wu Liao, not as handsome as Wu Liao, and there is a scar on his face, and what is even more annoying is that he has no car, no house, and no deposit.
Wu Liao listened to more internal injuries, worked for a few years, bought a car, although it was second-hand, and bought a one-bedroom house, although it was also second-hand, but it was all bought with his own hard work. Although he doesn't mind second-hand, even if it's his future girlfriend, he's still a single dog despite this.
The man was silent for a while, and said, "I don't like you, stop pestering me, you can jump if you like, I can't swim anyway, don't expect me to save you." ”
At night, the West Lake bridge is broken, and the flow of people around it is not as much as during the day, but the quarrel between the men and women has attracted many pedestrians from afar to come and watch, and the Chinese people still like to watch the excitement, especially at night.
"This man is too ignorant, women have lowered their requirements to this, I am a man, I will marry her immediately, no, I married her desperately."
"Scumbag, die."
"Girl, you have such a good condition, it's not worth it."
The onlookers talked a lot and persuaded from time to time. But none of them stepped forward to stop the girl who wanted to jump into the lake. Maybe it's the indifference of human feelings, maybe they've experienced too much moral kidnapping, or maybe they're busy taking pictures and videos with their mobile phones, and they don't have the extra hands to stop the girl. Don't bother, they have a heart that they wish the woman would jump down quickly, because their mobile phone camera has been facing the direction of the woman and the river, finding a good angle and standing in a good position, so as not to let the girl suddenly jump down, and the crowd will knock off the mobile phone in their hands when they are in a commotion.
"Do you really hate me that much? Why did you swear in bed last night that you only love me? ”
The girl said heartbreakingly, tears on her cheeks as soon as she said it, and she looked like she was eager to jump into the lake.
"I drank too much yesterday, where do I remember."
Wu Liao listened, and really wanted to rush up and beat the man wildly. Maybe this girl will change her mind, give up on this scumbag, and .......
The network is so developed, tomorrow's headlines will definitely be: "On the bank of the West Lake, on the broken bridge, there are promising young people, beating scumbags, regardless of danger, heroes save beauty." ”
Wu Liao was really boring, the corners of his mouth just snorted, just now he was just obscene.
In full view of everyone, the man turned around and wanted to leave, but the woman saw this and jumped down without hesitation.
At this moment, a young man quickly swept through the crowd at nearly the speed of light, and then reached the side of the girl who was about to jump into the lake, grabbed the girl's hand without hesitation, and then pushed her back. It was this push, the reaction force of physics, but the young man plopped and fell into the West Lake.
Of course, such a righteous and courageous young man is Wu Liao, except for him, who else is so boring.
There was a loud bang...... Water splashes.
