Chapter 438: Ghost Town Boy Ke Shao
The old lady began to explain the story of the flower to her granddaughter.
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the Santu River in Hades was full of large patches of flowers on the other side. There's something magical about its floral scent. It can make people recall their past lives.
There are two goblins guarding the flowers on the other side, one is the flower demon and Manzhu, and the other is the leaf demon and Shahua. The flower demon and the leaf demon have guarded the flowers on the other side for thousands of years, but they have never met, because there are no leaves when the flowers bloom, and the leaves only appear when the flowers are gone.
The Flower Demon and the Leaf Demon miss each other frantically, and are tormented by pain, and in July of one year, Manju Sawa secretly defies the rules of the gods and meets. In July of that year, the flowers on the other side were large and red, bright red as blood.
The gods blamed him and sent Manju Sawa into samsara, and he was cursed forever, suffering from human suffering in life and life, and could not meet. Since then, the flower on the other side is also called Manzhu Sahua, which is a flower that blooms in heaven... It is also the only flower that blooms on Huangquan Road... Every time Manzhu and Shahua are reincarnated on the Huangquan Road, they can smell the fragrance of flowers on the other side and remember their past lives, and then vow never to separate again, but they still fall into the cursed reincarnation next time.....
The flowers bloom on the other side, leading to the hell of the underworld.... The only way to break the curse is to find the real Manju Sahua, and it is the one that was made of the tears of two people, and wanted all the blood of one of them to stain red.
In the end, Manju and Sahua still failed to break the curse in the end, and they still failed to be together, falling into a cycle of never seeing each other......
The old lady finished telling the story of the flowers on the other side, which made me sigh. But now that I've lost my memory, if I can get to the other side and smell the flowers on the other side, maybe I can regain my memory and know who I really am.
Our group continued along Huangquan Road.
I don't know how long I walked, maybe for months, but a majestic city appeared in front of me.
From the time we saw this city to the time we actually walked to the gate of this city, we walked for two days and two nights.
The gate of the city is a gatehouse about 20 meters high, it seems to be made of white jade, the momentum is extraordinary, and there is a plaque on the top of the gatehouse, on which are written four big characters: Yin Cao Difu!
In front of this gate stands a stone tablet with words on it, which reads: Power Realm!
I was only suspicious before, but now I can finally confirm that I have really reached the underworld! but whether I am dead or not, I can't be sure, maybe I am only in a state of soul now, because I myself feel that my body is not very real, like a shadow, a little ethereal.
I've lost my memory and I'm back in the legendary underworld, what will happen to me in the future?!
On either side of the gate stood two rows of burly soldiers in ancient military uniforms, and in front of the gate there were two tables with two men dressed in general clothes sitting behind two tables, on which were placed a book with a black cover, and on the cover of the book was written the words Yin and Yang Shu.
"Listen up, the women all line up on the right side of General Zhao, and the men all line up on the left. A ghost soldier shouted.
There are a lot of people, but the speed of entering this netherworld is quite fast, because as long as a person stands in front of the two ghost generals, the yin and yang book will automatically jump out of the pattern of the physiognomy of the name, if there is no mistake in matching, the two ghost generals will put people into the power realm.
Most of them had no problem, they were all put into the power realm, and only a few people would be found out that something was wrong and they would be driven back and not allowed to enter the city.
I also made it to the Power Realm, a huge city.
This city is actually very lively, with streets and alleys, shops, and the shouting and shouting of sellers!
It turns out that the ghosts of the underworld also want to do business to make money, and I don't know what they are making money for, and how they use it.
We say that we don't know fatigue like robots, but after so many days of continuous travel, even robots can't stand it, and I now feel like my legs are as heavy as lead. And there seem to be blood blisters under my feet, and every step I take is a pain in my heart.
Now I have finally arrived at a city, this city is still quite lively, there are places to eat, wear, live and travel, I should also find a place to eat and drink, but I am now penniless, and I have no acquaintances in this underworld, I really don't know where to rest.
I was walking aimlessly down the busy street when I suddenly heard a burst of music and singing.
I don't remember who I was, but I had a natural affinity and familiarity with the music and the singing, so I looked in the direction of the sounds, which came from a very large, imposing house.
This house is tall, with cornices and corners, carved railings and jade masonry, which is very classical.
The white jade gate of this house was closed, and two people who looked like family members were standing guard in front of the door.
"Ah, little girl, look at your very good looks, your figure is also very good, can you sing and dance, our young master likes singing and dancing the most, if you can sing and dance, you can come to our Ding Mansion, the treatment of our Ding Mansion is the best in the whole city, especially the girls who can sing and dance, if you join our young master's song and dance troupe, the treatment is even better." Our Ding Mansion recruits girls who sing and dance all year round. The guy on the left smiled at me when he saw me looking into the house.
I'm tired and hungry now, and I don't know what to do, and when I hear that this Ding Mansion is recruiting singers, I think I can consider entering this Ding Mansion for a few days, but I can't stay here for a long time, I have to go to the other side of the Santu River, I want to smell the fragrance of the flowers on the other side, only then can I recall the past.
"This little brother," I said to the family Ding who spoke to me, who was about twenty years old and looked beautiful, "May I ask who your young master is?"
The family Ding straightened his chest and smiled proudly: "Our city is called the ghost city of Xudu, and our young master is the first of the eight princes in the ghost city, although our young master has no position in this ghost city, but his power is very great, even the king of Hades will give him three points of face." Our young master's full name is Ding Dengke, he is righteous and squandering money, and he is known as Ke Shao. ”
I then asked, "If I join the song and dance troupe in Dingfu, can I leave at any time, because I can't stay in Dingfu for a long time." ”
"Our young master has never been strong, as long as the singer who has stayed in the Ding Mansion for more than half a year can apply to leave our Ding Mansion, under normal circumstances, our young master will not only release the person, but also give the singer a large sum of money. ”
Ah, it sounds like this Keshao is a good person, so I'll enter this Ding Mansion to be a singer for a while.
I followed the man who was talking to me to Ding's house, and the moment I entered the door, my eyes accidentally saw a handsome young man on the street looking at me with a big mouth, as if I was stunned.
Did I know this young man before, and why did he give me a sense of déjà vu?
