Chapter 4 Shen Hongdie under the Wangxiang Stage
Huaxia is a symmetrical civilization, where there is yin and yang, life and death, and there is yang and nature.
Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for ghosts to scare the living in the yang, and in fact, it is not uncommon for the living to wander in the yin.
In addition to those who have the ability to go to the underworld to do things, there are also ordinary people who strayed into the underworld by chance.
The underworld is very large, much larger than the earth, which also leads people to say different things about the scenery and terrain of the underworld, in fact, no one is wrong, but the place to go is different.
Some people are unfortunate enough to straddle into a place where the living cannot go, ranging from the seizure of their souls and the fact that their bodies become insane or vegetative, or the death of a person who reports in advance.
This was the first time I walked in the shadows, and I didn't know where I was at the time, but I later figured out that it was the second half of the road in the world.
It was a flat dirt road, with endless wasteland on one side and barren mountains on the other, and there was no sun in the sky, everything was gray and gloomy.
I was not the only one on the road, but there were also pedestrians coming and going, dressed in modern clothes, coming and going.
Most of those who went in the same direction as me were escorted by two men dressed as ancient soldiers, with chains wrapped around them.
Some of them were reluctant to move forward, and the soldiers on the side beat them with the mourning stick in their hands, and when the mourning stick hit their bodies, black gas would come out, and it looked painful.
Some of the soldiers passing by would look at me, but only to look at me, and not pay attention to me at all.
I remembered my aunt's words, and walked forward.
I didn't know how far I had come, and just when I thought there was no end to the road, the view changed.
The scenery on both sides is the same as usual, except that there are a lot of weeds.
These weeds grow luxuriantly, but instead of green, they are gray and give a sense of desolation when you look at them, and there is a huge stone monument on the side of the road.
There are three big characters written on the stele, Huangquan Road, and there are a few lines of small characters under the big characters.
The avenue is inactive, pure and true, the six sentient beings, all because of vain, cause and karma, good and evil, cause and effect are unpleasant, the slightest clarity, the mind is moving, the karma has been formed, although the people are not seen, the gods and ghosts are early to see, not to be called a dark room, and the results are difficult to escape.
It turns out that this is the famous Huangquan Road, I have rarely heard of these miraculous things before, let alone seen them with my own eyes, but now looking at the surrounding scenery, I don't know why I have a sense of familiarity.
There is also a high platform not far away, not very far from the road, I can see the big characters on it when I stand here, Wangxiang Terrace!
The ghosts who came to the stele basically chose to go to Wangxiangtai, of course, there were also those who returned from Wangxiangtai, and most of these ghosts looked sad and cried.
My aunt told me to keep going, but I felt a strong attraction to me from the Wangxiang Terrace.
The living should come to the underworld as a tour, I thought so at the time, so I went over there by a ghost.
The ghosts who came and went were a little curious to see me walking there alone, because the ghosts who came and went on this road were all escorted.
Some of the soldiers would look at me, but they wouldn't speak.
If no one talks to me, I won't provoke them, but they're all ghosts!
Wangxiangtai looks close, but people have a feeling of running a dead horse in the mountains, I keep walking, seeing that the high platform is getting closer and closer, but I can't get there, and then I learned that although I am a soul body, but in essence I am still a living person, Wangxiangtai I can't go.
Just as I was thinking about whether to go back the way I came, a palm was placed on my shoulder.
I subconsciously turned around and saw a woman in a long black and red dress standing behind me.
This woman is very beautiful, Xiaobai is also very beautiful, but the two are not the same, Xiaobai gives people a fairy, quirky feeling, and this woman is the kind of heroic type, in today's words, it is very sassy and very A.
Do you know me? I didn't think much of it at the time, so I asked.
The woman stared at me for a long time, and suddenly smiled, not recognizing.
I was speechless for a moment, I didn't know what you were doing on my shoulder.
The woman seemed to see what I was thinking, and said I see that you are a living person and a little curious, what are you doing here?
I almost blurted out that I was looking for a stand-in, but then I thought about why I should tell her, so I said that I had stumbled into it by mistake.
The woman raised her eyebrows and said Let's get acquainted, my name is Shen Hongdie.
This name is quite nice, I thought to myself, and stretched out my hand, Qin Wuyi.
To this day, I can still remember the surprise on Shen Hongdie's face at that time, she looked at my outstretched hand, a little overwhelmed.
I also felt embarrassed, and it was not possible to take it back with one hand stretched out, nor could it be taken away.
Finally, my arm was sore, and I had to withdraw my hand, and then I realized that I should have been dead for many years when I saw her dress, and I didn't know that modern etiquette was excusable.
"Qin Wuyi, do you want to go to Wangxiangtai to have a look?" She asked me.
I nodded, "When I passed by, I felt something attracted to me here." ”
After saying that, I suddenly realized that the strange feeling was gone, and I suddenly lost interest in going to see it.
"I'll take you." After Shen Hongdie finished speaking, she took my hand and took a step forward, but this step we arrived at the bottom of the Wangxiang Tower.
The earth-shattering cry made my eardrums hurt, and the sadness and reluctance contained in the cry could be felt by a living person.
Shen Hongdie didn't seem to hear this cry, and pulled me towards the top of the lookout platform with a smile on her face.
In fact, when we came here, the soldiers patrolling around us noticed us and came closer to us, and we were stopped before we could even step up the steps.
Shen Hongdie's footsteps did not stop, and she stretched out her hand from her sleeve, as if she was holding something in her hand, but I didn't see it clearly.
As soon as the patrolling soldiers saw this thing, they all stepped aside, and a very vague look of fear appeared on their faces.
I instantly felt a deep curiosity, these are all Yin soldiers, how can I be afraid of her as a ghost?
While taking the stage, Shen Hongdie told me that there was originally no Wangxiang platform in the underworld, but later the Son of Yama Tianzi felt that the newly deceased people were homesick, and when they arrived in the capital city, they were still crying and crying, and it was also strange and troublesome, so they asked the ghost to build this lookout platform, so that the ghosts could last look at the world and their relatives.
You know a lot, I thought to myself.
When I came to the lookout platform, I realized what the world was, those ghosts looked ahead, crying or laughing, but I looked ahead and saw nothing.
Shen Hongdie seemed to see what I was thinking, and said that you are a living person, of course you can't see anything.
It dawned on me, what am I doing here?
At this moment, a ghost beside me didn't know what kind of wind to smoke, and actually broke free from the shackles of the Yin soldiers on both sides, and began to run around, it didn't matter if he scurried, I was unfortunately hit by him, the top of the Wangxiang platform was a platform, and there was no guardrail, I fell directly.
