Chapter 6: The Soul River, the Secret Clan
This world is very wonderful, following Fusu in the middle of the night to walk in the world for more than a thousand years, and met many spiritual power owners like Fusu, as well as secret clans.
They don't know how many secret clans there are in heaven and earth. But each is different. The Phantom Clan is simple and stubborn, while the Fox Clan is strong but conservative. The people in the secret clan live in the secret realm, and under normal circumstances, the door does not go out of the two doors, and they do not go through their own doors. They rarely live in the human world, and the vast majority of the people of the secret race have never left their homeland in their lives.
Fusu was invited to the secret realm of the fox clan, the Northern Snow Country, where he finally got some clues about the realm of the dead and the Xiling River.
The King of the Fox Clan tells Fusu that the Dead's Barrier is not so easy to break through.
First of all, the location of the Realm of the Dead is uncertain, and no one knows its trajectory at the moment, and secondly, what kind of power exists in the barrier? As a psychic rather than a deceased who was extradited into reincarnation by the shadows, the only way to enter the Soul Washing River is an enchantment called the 'Birth Gate'.
For thousands of years, the fox clan has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to explore but has not gained much, and only determined that there are five major enchantments in the realm of the dead, among which the 'Shengmen' changes every seven years.
And the Xiling River is the place that connects the 'Gate of Life' and the reincarnation of the dead.
It could be anywhere in the void between heaven and earth, with no fixed address, and no one knew where it was.
Fusu did not give up, rummaged through the ancient texts collected in the past thousand years, and after stepping on the mountains, rivers and oceans, in addition to obtaining several 'artifacts', the best harvest was to explore the energy field induction of the Xiling River two months ago, and it is currently in the surrounding area of Mengla, Yunnan.
Can it be found? Fusu didn't know, and Qiao Ziye didn't know. Regardless of whether he could find it or not, the question raised in midnight still made Fusu feel depressed.
"Maybe it's time," he said, looking up at the sky under the azure smoke and rain.
It's been 2,000 years!
During this long time, in countless nights, he sat up from his dream, and heard the howling wind of that afternoon.
In the hundreds of years that he slept in the woodland of the emperor's tomb, he never let go of the humiliation and unwillingness in his heart.
Perhaps even the soul of the Emperor Cypress was disgusted with his nightmares, which made him return to the world again.
But the world has long since changed, there is nothing that belongs to him, and there is nothing that he belongs to. Those who love and those who hate are gone.
Walking like an island in the world, living like this is really boring. And this kind of boredom seems to have no end in sight. The time had lost any meaning, and he was exhausted.
Maybe when you go to the Xiling River, you will have the answer, whether you find the person you are looking for, or turn into a cloud of smoke.
Or, just throw it into the red dust and transfer it to the next life.
If he has an afterlife.
[Meng Tian, if there is an afterlife...] It is difficult to die through the ages.
But when death does come, it's easy.
So easily and decisively died.
Leaving behind Meng Tian and Meng Yi, the two best brothers, and leaving behind the morning light... and many other loved ones. But in fact, he couldn't leave anything behind, and after living again for so long after death, he didn't forget anything.
Every time I think about and resent, the hole in my heart is still whistling like the wind.
Pain, like a shadow. If the heart is restless, how can we talk about liberation.
Fusu's state of mind Qiao Ziye couldn't really understand, but he understood that "when I arrived at Xiling River, I found Zhao Gao and Hu Hai's present life." What are you going to do? Kill them all?" he took a sip of tea, but still threw the topic out.
Qiao Ziye knew very well that it was impossible for Fusu to do such a brutal thing, but after all, it was a murderous revenge, not to mention, there was also his young sister Chenxi. He knew that the most difficult thing in Fusu's heart was this knot.
"There must be a reason to wake me up at this time!" he looked up at the sky. Is the god looking at him at this time?
"Find them first, and let's make a decision. If that one day appears, I'd love to ask him why I was allowed to live like this?!" He had asked himself this more than once for more than a thousand years, but the gods had never appeared.
Whether it is a gift or a punishment, there is no answer.
"Do you really want to find Princess Dawn? Not to mention how many times she has been reincarnated in the vast crowd, even if you do, do you run over and tell people that you are her brother? That will scare people, okay? Qiao Ziye snorted his teeth, looking like he was looking for a beating.
Although Meng Yi has a way to find the traces of the reincarnation of the deceased soul as long as he enters the Washing Spirit River, this is a vast number of billions of living beings... Thinking of this, Midnight couldn't help but scratch his neck, alas, I'm afraid it's not just wishful thinking.
"I didn't think about it. Just, want to take a look. Perhaps..."
In fact, Fusu really didn't think about how to deal with himself. People are like that sometimes, they don't know what they want to do, they just know what they want to do. Take one step at a time, helpless and realistic.
"It's really leisurely, and I still have the heart to drink tea and chat! Hmph! Send me to check Luhu, two big men, it's embarrassing. ”
A bright voice sounded, and a dark green vine suddenly grew in the center of the gable of the courtyard, enveloping most of the wall at a growth rate visible to the naked eye, and from the center of the vine branches, a young girl floated out.
He is in his early twenties, with long black hair like a waterfall, and is of medium height and slender build. The walking posture is very strange, not like a beautiful girl, but really like a rough stride and a big man with big feet.
"I passed by from the tiger run and passed some water, so let's change this to make tea. The girl took out a transparent water bag from behind her, about 30 liters in size, and hooked it delicately on her little finger, like a weightless flower.
The girl stretched out her hand hooked with the water bag to Midnight, "Ahh
Midnight took the water, and frowned at the weight.
"How's the situation at Luhu?" asked Fusu.
"I have more important things to do, so I'll let that phantom kid named Bai and Fei take a look and contact him later. ”
The girl took a thick futon and sat on it, leaning against the pillars of the verandah, her long hair half tied up and half in a bun.
"Good. This is the responsibility of the Phantom Clan, and it is better to leave it to them. Fusu nodded.
In recent years, the pollution of Egret Lake has become more and more serious, and if it is really impossible for the egrets to live there, they will have to find another place.
"Don't you want to know, what am I going to do?" the girl played with her long hair, and her tone was lazy with a hint of disgust.
Fusu heard the girl say this, and finally looked up at her, without words.
Taking a shallow breath, the girl sat up straight and began to tell the strange story that had happened to her: "Last month, I met an evil spirit in a strange dream. I won't talk about this, anyway, I followed that evil spirit to Qiandao Lake later. And guess what..."
The girl's thick eyebrows were twisted together, and she blinked her eyes, which were not big or small, and had no characteristics.
Silent and still, the air seemed to be frozen in an instant. No one answered, and Fusu still just looked at her steadily.
The girl snorted angrily in her heart, and could only say from herself, "There is an ancient city at the bottom of that lake, which is very eerie and terrifying! This is still secondary, I found a strict result realm in the ancient city at the bottom of the lake, and I can't enter it at all." ”
"And, besides, I heard the ghost's cry, so weird that I didn't want to. Whew..."
The girl was indeed frightened by the strange things she encountered underwater, and as she spoke, she involuntarily hugged herself with both hands and stroked the cold hairs on both arms.
"What can stump you Miss Suli, it's really rare. Qiao Ziye lost no time in teasing.
"Don't make a noise if you don't know, be careful that I hang you up. The girl who was called Miss Suli by Midnight had a frosty face, and a branch of the vine that had grown out of the end of the gratuitous end before leaned into the direction where Qiao Ziye was sitting.
The spikes on the branches were so close that they almost touched Qiao Ziye's eyes, and he didn't know if he was really scared or pretended, Qiao Ziye slowly moved to Fusu's side aggrievedly, "Threat, see no, this is Chiguoguo's threat." ”
Fusu didn't even look at the two of them, and lowered his head to drink the tea. Qiao Ziye and Bai Suli probably don't get along, and every time they either fight each other, or they fight each other.
"It's getting late. Su'er, midnight, is it a dinner?" Fusu asked, he had long been accustomed to the quarrelsome communication between the two of them.
"I'm going to eat Japanese food. "Suri
"Kaiseki is too expensive. "Midnight (note: kaiseki cuisine, it's true that it's not a civilian consumption, but it's mainly because Qiao Ziye picks the door.) )
Almost in unison, Su'er looked resentful, and poked Fusu with her finger.
"If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you think that money is so easy to make now. You two guys, you buy jewelry from the Ming Dynasty and clay pots from the Shang Dynasty at every turn, how can you have so much money to spend. Qiao Ziye said indignantly.
These two have no concept of money at all, so he is the only one who 'works tirelessly' to earn money to support his family.
Thinking of this, I only felt that I was really hard, and pointed to Fusu's earth-colored jar that looked rough in the corner of the backyard with no anger. When he retracted his eyes, he swept over Su'er's clear hairband that was inserted in the long hair bun.
"I recently found a small shop that tasted good and was close to us, which was very convenient. ”
When it comes to speech, Fusu and Su'er can't beat Qiao Ziye. In fact, Fusu cannot be counted at all. Because he never expresses his opinion, in short, the other two people fight, he just needs to follow the one who wins.
The grass on both sides of the wall is upside down, and that's probably it.
Su'er knows that there is no way to distinguish it, not long ago, she just bought this Ming Dynasty glazed basket. So, put up with it for now. Who said that the three of them are in groups, and sooner or later, she will turn him into a ghost.
She gritted her teeth and looked away at the inky sky, where the half-crescent moon was barely emitting a hazy glow like a hook.
