004 White-haired old woman

It turns out that there are still people here. For some reason, after seeing the white-haired old woman opposite, the sadness just now suddenly disappeared, and her consciousness became clear, and it was like a dream in a trance, but the cold cheeks confirmed that she had indeed cried.

This flower is really weird.

Ruoli took a deep look at the fiery red flower, smiled slightly, leaned closer and said softly, "If you don't want to forget, don't forget." ”

Get up and run in the direction of the white-haired old woman.

The white-haired old woman, with a somewhat rickety figure and wrinkled skin, but her eyes were bright and clear, as if she could see the truth. When Ruoli ran to her, she didn't say anything, turned around, and walked forward without looking back.

"Old woman. "If you call her over in doubt, don't you have something to say, or something to do? What does it mean to give her a rickety back now?

At last, he stopped by a mottled stone bridge, and there was a pot beside it, and the dim light of the fire flickered under the pot, and the boiling water in the pot was churning and rolling.

"Little girl, did you cry just now?" the white-haired old woman's slightly hoarse voice sounded, but there was a different kind of kindness, and a pair of eyes sparkled, looking straight at Ruoli's reddish eyes.

Ruo was startled, his eyes flickered, and he quickly denied, "Old woman, I'm not a woman. Facing her clear eyes, Ruoli was a little flustered.

"That's it, that's it. She waved her hand, took the big spoon to herself, stirring the boiling water in the pot, obviously there was nothing, I don't know what the point of stirring like this?

"Old woman, where is this?" If you have been away for so long, you have only seen such a strange old woman, as well as that strange flower and a silent strange river, this place is very different from the divine realm, and the darkness is the biggest feature here, but it is not gloomy, giving people a sense of familiarity returning to the starting point.

The old woman didn't turn around, and said lightly, "Underworld." There was no emotion in her voice, just like the inertial answer that many people had asked her this question and formed over time.

How did she get to the underworld? After she had just fallen, she couldn't find her exit anymore, and she didn't know how to get out.

Anyway, if you have nothing to do, you might as well have fun here, the underworld, she has never been here.

Ruoli sat down by the bridge and asked, "Old woman, what kind of flower was that just now?"

"Manju Sahua. The old woman put down the spoon and turned to look back at her, her eyes still shining.

Manju Sawa has a unique name.

"Why is there a woman's crying inside, isn't it a sperm?" Ruoli asked disapprovingly, playing with the stone in his hand.

The white-haired old woman shook her head and sighed, "It's just an obsession, that flower has been blooming by the Santu River for thousands of years, and the spirituality is extraordinary. After speaking, he glanced at Ruoli.

If she patted her chest with palpitations, it was so dangerous, no wonder her behavior just now was so weird, it turned out to be a demonic barrier, but that sad mood was so real, she deeply felt the woman's sadness.

The river without the sound of water turned out to be the Santu River, and when he was in the divine realm, Ruoli had heard its name, but he had never seen it, so he couldn't recognize it. The Santu River is also called the Lechuan River, what flows in the river is not actually water, but people's memories before their deaths, for thousands of years, it has converged into a river, flowing silently, I don't know where it flows.

Ruoli looked around curiously, it turned out that he had come to the underworld, how could he get here, could it be that the blue water divine pool in Qingchen Palace was a passage to the underworld?

If this is the underworld, it's the Santu River, then isn't the old woman just...

Ruoli looked at the old woman in surprise and asked, "The old woman is Meng Po?"

"Hmm. Meng Po nodded with a smile, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

However, if you remember clearly that Meng Po's eyes are invisible, how can the old woman's eyes be so good that she can still see that she is a woman.

I couldn't help but be curious at the moment, stretched out my hand and shook it in front of Meng Po's eyes, but I didn't react?

It turns out that I can't really see it.

"Seeing is not necessarily believing, the truth does not necessarily need to be seen with eyes, little girl, you are still young. Meng Po's hoarse voice came, and a pair of eyes flashed with a wise light, the kind of transparent light that can only be precipitated after seeing through all things.

Ruoli nodded as if he didn't understand, and muttered, "I'm not a woman." ”

Meng Po didn't hear it, and continued to stir her boiling water.

"Granny Meng, there's nothing else in this water, what are you stirring up?"

Meng Po didn't answer her, but just scooped up a spoonful of water, which was still clear in the pot, but instantly turned into a faint color like tea, exuding a faint fragrance.

Then he said, "This is Meng Po soup, which is boiled with Santu River water, not ordinary soup, after drinking, people can forget all the past, and there is no concern in the next life." Meng Po stirred the soup and said thoughtfully.

Suddenly, the Meng Po soup in the pot stopped boiling, Meng Po hurriedly bent down to check the fire under the pot, it turned out to be extinguished, and her calm face looked a little panicked.

Picking up the crutches on the side, he hobbled to a hole by the river.

"Mother-in-law, where are you going?" Ruoli hurriedly caught up and supported her, I don't know why, the first time she saw Meng Po, she felt that she was so familiar and kind, and she couldn't help but want to care about her.

Meng Po looked at Ruoli with some concern, and said anxiously, "The fire that boiled Meng Po's soup was lit by the Forgetting Worry Stone, I had a leg disease a few days ago, because I thought that the Forgetting Worry Stone should be enough, I didn't think about it, but I remembered it wrong." After saying that, he turned around and walked tremblingly.

No wonder her mother-in-law's walking posture was so difficult, it turned out that she had a leg disease, Ruoli hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Mother-in-law, I'll help you get it." ”

Ruoli didn't do this all because she felt that her mother-in-law was familiar, but because if she hadn't made a move, she would have really been taken away by that Manzhu Sahua, although she had no moral code, but how dare she not repay such kindness.

"You?" Meng Po looked at her in surprise.

When Ruoli was close to her, she already knew that Ruoli was a person from the divine realm, but why she appeared in the underworld, she was not interested in knowing. The people of the Divine Realm are going to Wuhuan City, and she has never heard of any immortal who has been to that place.

But right now, her legs, a trip back and forth may delay a lot of time, and she doesn't dare to slack off on the big thing of boiling Meng Po soup, so it's better to let her try, at this time, Wuhuan City is not in any danger.

Meng Po handed Ruoli a basket and a lantern, and said instructively, "Keep walking towards the cave here, keep walking, don't look back, stay until you walk through a wooden gate, and you will arrive when you see the gate of Wuhuan City, and ah, don't extinguish the candles in the lantern, you are a person from the divine realm, without light, it is easy to be targeted by evil things, you must remember." ”

"Okay, mother-in-law, don't worry, I'll be back soon. ”

Ruoli took the things and walked towards the entrance of the cave in the opposite direction, and the cave was not like the cave where he came, there were two rows of lanterns shining together, but it was pitch black. After walking in, I felt that it was so dim that even the light of the lantern could not illuminate the road clearly.

Meng Po walked back to the pot tremblingly with a cane, and after picking up the big spoon, she suddenly slapped her head and exclaimed, "Did I forget to tell her just now that I was going to come back before the time?"

Regardless of the pain in his legs, he gritted his teeth and ran out of the hole, not feeling a trace of detached breath, he should have walked away.

"Hey, I'm confused when I'm old, I hope nothing happens. Meng Po said worriedly.
