Chapter 04 of the short fantasy novel "Heaven to the Left".
[3] Hell Realm
When the evil voice introduced the Hell Realm, I suddenly remembered that there was a detailed description of the Hell Realm on the huge stone tablet at the foot of the snow-capped mountain in the Samsara Realm, which mentioned that the Hell Realm was a dark underwater world, cold, oppressive and full of danger, from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea there are eighteen layers, each layer of sea water is about 1,000 zhang deep, and above the sea surface is the heaven realm.
In this biting sea water lives hundreds of millions of fish that feed on the soul body, called the soul eater, they are only the size of a thumb, but often live in groups, once the soul body is found to be quietly following behind, at the right time the opportunity to suddenly surround the soul body, tear the outer membrane of the soul body into the body, suck the soul from the inside out, the soul will be in pain, this pain will continue until the last trace of the soul is sucked will not stop.
The stele mentions that the only way to deal with the Soul Eater is to travel in pairs, and it must be with the soul body of the most beloved person, because a pair of beloved soul bodies can produce a special soul power fluctuation when they are together, and this special fluctuation can interfere with the sense of smell of the Soul Eater, which can make it impossible to discern the direction at all for the Soul Eater that has no vision and only relies on the sense of smell to hunt, so that it can successfully avoid its predation.
When I was distracted, a miserable voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts, and I saw a light blue soul body not far away struggling frantically, in his body there were countless small black fish sucking his soul, and the other souls around instinctively fled around, looking at the shrinking soul body in horror, staring at every move behind him from time to time, to prevent such a tragedy from befalling them.
I wanted to rush up to see if I could help him attract a school of fish to buy him some time, but the soul eater fish had already poured into his body in large numbers, and soon only a broken membrane was left floating in the water, and the screams disappeared, I knew that I couldn't help him anymore, and I was sorry for him I was especially worried about the single Lu'er at this time, and at this time, the evil voice of the hell messenger sounded again:
"I hope you will listen carefully to what I am going to talk about, because it is related to whether you can survive in the hell realm, if you don't want to be like the soul body just now, then quickly use the lotus flower in your eyebrows to quickly sense your most beloved, find your most beloved in the shortest possible time, and then the soul devouring fish will no longer be your nightmare!
If you can't sense your most beloved person, it means that your most beloved person has given up on you for the sake of their own happiness and chose the passage of heaven, in fact, the passage of heaven is not really a passage to hell, let alone a passage to the realm of heaven, just an ordinary passage from reincarnation to the realm of earth, it is just a false passage that we use to test your heart, as for the so-called choice of the passage of heaven after reincarnation, happiness, success and good luck will accompany you for a lifetime is just a temptation.
Because if you really want to reach the heavenly realm, you must successfully pass through the hell realm, and only the soul body that knows how to selflessly dedicate everything for love, has a good character, acts decisively, and has a firm mind can have the qualifications to ascend to the heavenly realm, so choosing the reincarnation of the heavenly passage means being eliminated.
For the soul body that can't sense the most beloved person, you can choose to give up the ultimate reincarnation, just tap the lotus flower in the center of your eyebrows, and at the same time as the lotus dissipates, it will also let you reincarnate in the human world again, only when you wait for the next ultimate reincarnation can you get the chance to enter the heavenly realm again, if you don't want to give up then find a safe place to hide and wait for reincarnation, don't let you become a good meal for soul eaters before reincarnation. Well, children, hurry up and find your most beloved! ”。
Hearing this, I also quickly used the lotus flower in the center of my eyebrows to sense the heron, and soon I sensed that there was an extremely familiar fluctuation far in front of me on the left, which must be the heron! I excitedly floated towards the heron, and along the way I saw some souls with expressions of despair and loss slowly dissipate along with the silver lotus flower in the center of her eyebrows, presumably with her ruthless most beloved person reincarnated into the human realm.
Lu'er actually chose the hell passage for me, and I feel very sorry for her when I think of her suffering from pain just now, I just want to find her quickly and hold her in my arms and never let her be hurt again! After drifting for an hour or so, I felt that the familiar fluctuations were getting stronger, and they seemed to be coming towards me quickly, and I picked up speed.
Just when I was about to get close to Lu'er, suddenly I felt that Lu'er's fluctuations were a little disordered, and I had a bad premonition in my heart, and I saw a group of Soul Eaters surrounding a lilac soul body in the distance, and my heart twitched wildly, and I squeezed into the group of Soul Eater Fish, hugged Lu'er, and rushed out in the direction where a Soul Eater fish was the least.
I could feel countless Soul Eaters biting the soul membranes all over my body, it hurt! When I was about to get lost in pain, I quickly bit my tongue hard, after a tingling pain, I calmed down, I bent down to completely protect the heron in my arms, so as not to be bitten by the soul eater fish, I violently changed several directions and finally got rid of the bite of this group of soul eater fish, because I held the heron in my arms, the special soul power fluctuations we generated have destroyed the sense of smell of the soul eater fish, and after a while, the fish swam away because they couldn't smell our scent, and we finally escaped.
Looking at the heron who was looking at me tenderly in his arms, his heart was sour, and his eyes were a little swollen, if it wasn't for the soul body, I would definitely be in tears at this time. Gently caressing the lilac soul membrane on Lu'er's face, an extremely kind, natural, and warm feeling rippled in the depths of my soul.
Just as Lu'er and I were sweetly embracing each other and indulging in warm memories, the evil voice sounded again at an inopportune time: "Children, you must have found the most beloved, right? Don't be in a hurry to keep it up, now you can't communicate because you are soul bodies, if you want to know how to communicate, please listen carefully and carefully to what I am talking about below:
There are eighteen layers in the entire hell realm, and each layer has a reincarnation world, once you enter the reincarnation world, you will be reincarnated, but this reincarnation is different from the reincarnation you have experienced before, because you are not really reincarnated, but reincarnated in a virtual world.
This virtual world can only last for one hour, as long as you successfully avoid danger and survive in an hour, the virtual world will automatically enter the next layer of reincarnation after it is broken, and every time you successfully pass a layer of reincarnation, the silver lotus flower in the center of your eyebrows will have a petal turn golden, and when the eighteen layers of reincarnation are successfully spent, your eighteen petals will all turn golden, congratulations! You have attained the qualifications to ascend to the heavenly realm.
If you meet your most beloved person in the world of reincarnation, you can communicate casually, and you can work together to get through the difficulties, but don't be too happy, although the world of reincarnation is virtual, but the people in it have the same thoughts and emotions as people in the real world, and every flower and grass in it is also real, so the dangers encountered in it are also real, and if you die in the world of reincarnation, your soul body will also completely dissipate.
If you meet your beloved in the world of reincarnation and die, before his soul body leaves the body but has not completely dissipated, there is only one way to save your beloved, and that is to tap the center of your eyebrows, and then tap the center of your beloved body's eyebrows, and your soul will experience leaving your body, and the silver lotus flower in the center of your eyebrows will leave your soul body and merge into the eyebrows of your beloved's soul body, which will instantly turn the silver lotus flower in your beloved's eyebrows into a complete golden lotus.
After that, your beloved will leave the world of reincarnation and ascend directly to the heavenly realm from the sea water layer by layer, without entering the reincarnation world to participate in the dangerous reincarnation, and your soul body will completely disappear, that is to say, in exchange for your life for your beloved's successful ascension to the heavenly realm, this price is somewhat big and bleak, of course, these are based on your willingness.
If you re-enact all the dreams in the Samsara Palace, the dangers you encounter in the Samsara World have all happened in your memory, and all you have to do in this Samsara World is to use a completely different method to resolve the crisis.
Remember, be sure to do something completely different from the way you did last time, and if you do it the same way, you will definitely die. If you resolve it well, you can save those who have lost their lives because of you, but if you don't resolve it well, it will also make more people lose their lives because of you, even your life! But if you didn't repeat the dream because of your mood swings, hehe...... All I can say is good luck! Haha......"
The mysterious laughter of the Hell Messenger gave me a very bad premonition, every layer of this so-called reincarnation world is a crisis, as if the crisis of each layer is related to the dream of the past, and that dream I only remembered less than half of it before it ended! It seems that these eighteen levels will be difficult for me! I wonder if Lu'er's dream is over again? However, I also wanted to send the heron safely to the heavenly realm anyway, and I took the heron's hand with a determined face and floated towards the reincarnation zone.
Along the way, we would often encounter schools of Soul Eater fish, and Heron and I would carefully hide behind the corals and wait for the fish to pass before moving on. There are also some soul bodies who patronize and wander into the school of fish, and after being attacked by the fish, they panic and only care about their own escape, and after being separated from their beloved, they finally become fish food, and their death is unbearable!
The reincarnation world is located in the center of each layer of seawater, and the entrance is a whirlpool that rotates at a high speed of 100 zhang, and the soul body that enters the whirlpool is instantly swept into the reincarnation world, and the soul body that is safe and sound after an hour is directly transported to the next layer of the reincarnation world.
So once it starts, it means that you have broken through the eighteen layers in a row, either all of them have successfully ascended to the heavenly realm, or they have died in the reincarnation world, and the soul bodies have completely dissipated, and I see that there are about less than 10,000 soul bodies that have reached the vicinity of the whirlpool, some of them have entered the whirlpool very chicly, some of them are reluctant to enter, and some of them are hovering near the whirlpool and watching, Lu'er and I walked to the edge of the whirlpool and looked at each other firmly and trustingly, and resolutely held hands and stepped into the whirlpool......
The first level of reincarnation:
When I regained consciousness, I found that I was only the size of a baby, probably less than a year old when I was born, although my body was only a baby at this time, I already had the mind and memory of an adult, what a strange reincarnation world!
Looking at the young and beautiful queen mother who was like a girl gently hugging me, and was teasing me extremely dotingly, I suddenly remembered the sad picture of my father and queen mother being imprisoned in the dream of the reincarnation palace, and I couldn't help but shout "Queen Mother's ......" but helplessly, the baby's body turned into a cry of wow, so frightened that the queen mother's face changed and coaxed me distressedly, and at the same time, a soft soul power penetrated into my young body to check whether I was injured there.
I suddenly remembered that although this is just a virtual reincarnation world, but the people in it have the same thinking and emotions as the real world, I suddenly felt a little abrupt, and I didn't dare to try to speak again for fear of frightening the queen mother, I quickly stopped crying, but I still couldn't control my tears from flowing down my face with extreme longing for the queen mother, and silently muttered in my heart: "Queen mother, do you know? Tian'er really misses you so much! ”。
I really want to live happily ever after being warmly held in the arms of the queen mother, but I understand that I will leave this reincarnation world in an hour, and I don't know if I can see the queen mother in the future reincarnation, I guess Lu'er is also in her mother's arms now.
When I thought of Lu'er, I tried to sense Lu'er with the lotus flower in the center of my eyebrows, but no
