Chapter 128: It's just that I'm obsessed with the red dust
It's been a month since I left Chongqing, and during this month, I went to Beijing alone and found Director Wang, who promised to notify me as soon as anything happened about ghost babies anywhere. And I didn't stay in Beijing, but walked around the country with bags on my back.
That night, I came to a small county town and stayed, and after putting down my bag, I lay down on the bed with my clothes and fell asleep groggily. Since Cen Si left, my life has become like this, every day I carry my bag everywhere looking for the breath of a ghost baby, when I am tired, I find a hotel to live in, and continue to look for it after waking up.
In the past month, it seems that I have become a mute, and I will not take the initiative to say a word to anyone except for necessary conversations.
This night, I had a dream! I dreamed of Cen Si, I dreamed of the underworld! I saw Cen Si's appearance in the underworld! She's in hell! In the prison of the underworld, Cen Si stayed there as if he had no thoughts!
And there are people in front of them who are being tortured! Two ghost pawns of the underworld are torturing the woman in front of them in hell! The two ghost pawns drove two cars respectively, and used the two cars to cover the woman's head and feet respectively, and then after a loud shout, the woman was separated from the middle!
Cry! The screams resounded throughout the hell, and Cen Si was in the prison behind the tortured woman! Looks like it's going to be her turn soon!
I went crazy when I saw this! I desperately wanted to save Cen Si, but I was like a spectator in my dream, I could only watch Cen Si, but I couldn't move.
The shouts tore my heart! I was awakened from a dream! I touched my forehead and found that I was already sweating. Cen Si! Why do I dream of this scene! Why did Cen Si go to hell after he died! Why did Cen Si suffer in hell!
I turned on the bedside light and found that a few words were written in small seals on the side of my bed: "Cen Si!" Eighteen layers of hell! After seeing these words, my whole person entered a state of madness! What I saw in my dreams turned out to be real! Cen Si was really beaten into the eighteenth layer of hell!
These words must have been informed to me by someone in the underworld, no matter who it was, his purpose was to ask me to go to the underworld! I must go! Go to hell and save Cen Si! It doesn't matter who you are! Whatever your reason, since you told me, I'll definitely go! The big deal is that the net is broken! What do I care about now!
Cen Si, you wait for me, I will definitely not let you die and suffer! You wait for me! Then I picked up my bag and went straight to Chongqing! And the words written on those small seals also slowly disappeared after I left!
Fengdu, Chongqing, by the Yangtze River.
I stood on the edge of the Yangtze River, holding a bottle of liquor in my hand and pouring it into my mouth. People who traveled back and forth between the banks of the river kept looking at me. It's just that I don't care about the eyes of these people, I don't even have a heart, do I still care about this people's opinions?
After eight o'clock in the evening, all the boats crossing the Yangtze River had finished work, and I was still sitting alone by the river drinking wine. Finally, an old ship slowly sailed out of the river. I watched as the ship put down the wine in my hand and slowly got up to its feet.
I stood on the edge of the river and waved at the boat, the boat slowly landed, there were no passengers on the boat only an old man holding the boat, I looked at the old man, bowed my head and got on the boat.
The old man slowly started the boat, and I sat in the cabin and watched the old man say nothing. The old man looked at me and smiled: "Little friend, where are you going?" I straightened the bag on my body and said slowly: "Senior, I want to go to the underworld, I don't know if you can give me a ride?" ”
The old man asked calmly, "Do you have to go?" I nodded, "Definitely!" The old man sighed: "Okay, I can send you to the underworld, but the underworld is a place where you can't enter a big living person, and all I can do is send your soul in, as for the things on your body, I can only let you bring in a sword, and I can't do anything about the rest." ”
After the old man finished speaking, I lowered my head, pondered for a long time, and then asked, "Can you tell me why you are helping me?" "Although I'm in a hurry to go to the underworld, but I'm not stupid, this old man is also from the underworld, he knows that it's not good for me to go to the underworld, but he still wants to help me send me in, and he also let me go in with a sword that does a lot of damage to ghosts, there must be some reason I don't know.
The old man watched me slowly steer the boat, and said lightly: "Little friend, I can only send you to the entrance of the underworld, as for going to the ghost town and hell, you can only do it yourself." If you get to the Nai Ho Bridge, then I want you to do me a favor. ”
I looked at the old man and said quietly, "Say it, what's the busy." "If you meet a person on the bridge of Naihe, who is making soup on the bridge to the ghosts who come and go, then please help me convey a word to her, tell her, "The turbid wine is prosperous and affectionate, laughing at me in this life, and I am infatuated." If it is not for death, it will never be forsaken. "Have you ever remembered?" I looked at the old man who was holding the boat and nodded silently.
I have vaguely guessed who the old man wants me to talk to, but I don't want to know what happened between the old man and her, everyone has their own story, and now I have no interest in wanting to know other people's stories.
"Since Xiaoyou agreed, then I will send you to the underworld, Xiaoyou closes his eyes, and the time to open his eyes again will come." I silently closed my eyes.
The old man propped up the boat and gradually disappeared into the dark river by night. The old man propped up the boat, looked at me who had lost consciousness in the cabin, his eyes showed an unbearable look, and he muttered: "Bad fate! Bad fate! The yin and yang road is never so easy to walk! Take care all the way! ”
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on the ground with a strip of black cloth beside me, and the shape of a sword was clearly visible. I tried to move my body, and when I found that I didn't feel any discomfort, I picked up the sword wrapped in black cloth and slowly carried it on my back, taking in my surroundings.
Behind me was a river, a clear and clear river, and on the bank, a small boat was quietly parked aside, the old man stood at the bow of the boat and looked at me with a smile, and in the cabin lay a man exactly like me.
"Little friend, this is the underworld, and I can only send you here, and you still need to walk the rest of the way. Leave your flesh with me, and I will be waiting for you on the shore when you return. Little friends! Take care all the way! After saying that, the old man on the shore clasped his fist and threw it at me.
I quickly returned the salute with my fists and turned to walk. The old man stood on the boat with envy on his face, with melancholy, and as if with a trace of regret, I slowly disappeared from his sight, and the old man looked at my blurred back and said to himself: "You are braver than me, stronger than me." I'm just a coward, a coward who can only hold the boat. ”
With that, the old man disappeared into the cabin and disappeared.
I walk on the way of the underworld, is this the underworld? The sky was yellow, and there was only one road over the whole land, and the rest of the land was full of large flowers, some of which had leaves, some of which had bare branches, and only a few of which had beautiful flowers.
The underworld is an incomparably mysterious symbol since ancient times, and there are ten halls of Yama in the underworld, which are the king of Qin Guang, the king of Chujiang, the emperor of Song, the king of Wuguan, the king of Yama, the king of equality, the king of Taishan, the king of the city, the king of Bian Cheng, and the king of the wheel. These ten halls of Yama rotate every 3,000 years, and now I don't know which Yama is in power, so I must not be impulsive when I go to the underworld.
Thinking so, I was walking on the road to the underworld, and before I knew it, I saw a lot of flowers in bloom, some of which had just bloomed a little, some of which were already in full bloom, and some of which had already failed. There is a stone monument on the side of the road, and the stone tablet is engraved with a few lines of words: "The flowers on the other side are blooming on the other side, and the flowers are blooming and falling." ”
My heart became unable to calm down at this moment, and the words on the stone tablet were said in the story I once told in the ghost city of Fengdu. I thought this story was just a legend, but it turned out that all kinds of things about the flowers on the other side turned out to be true. This piece of flower is just an idiot man and a woman, waiting here for countless years. Waiting for the reincarnation of his lover.
I squatted on the ground and watched these flowers, my eyes became blurred, I still remember the scene when I talked to Cen Si about this, I still remember Cen Si's expression after listening to it, I still remember everything, and now the two of us are so yin and yang. I slowly stood up and bowed to all the flowers on the other side, and then walked slowly forward.
Gradually, the road is no longer narrow, and the flowers on the other side have disappeared, and a wide road appears in front of me, with a lot of pedestrians walking on the road, it should be said that there are a lot of ghosts, these ghosts are walking towards the front in a daze. There was no expression on everyone's face, just walking mechanically. There is no talk to each other, no companionship, just endless loneliness and loneliness.
My heart ached faintly, was Cen Si walking among these ghosts like this a month ago? Isn't it also so lonely, so helpless? Cen Si, I've come to the underworld, but where are you now? I miss you so much, you know? I miss you so much!
I joined the walking procession with my sword on my back, and I didn't speak, just walked silently alone, but no matter how it seemed that I was more lonely than the ghosts.
There is a stone erected on the side of the road, on which are engraved three big characters "Huangquan Road"!
And I just glanced at it indifferently and followed the ghost away.
