I accompanied Huang Jian to wait at the gate of Senluo Hall for a long time, and finally saw two ghosts escorting Zhao Yuan out.

Zhao Yuan's face was pale, one leg was gone, and he was wrapped in gauze. It seems that after half a month of recuperation, although the vitality has not yet recovered, but I can barely walk on crutches, and I smiled when I saw us.

Huang Jian hurriedly took out the token, stepped forward and said to the ghost who escorted Zhao Yuan:

"Two, I'm Zhenghuangjian in Jiqing City, this person was caught by me and Zhou Dabiao, a yin person, this ...... Zhao Yuan has some friendship with me, can you make it convenient for the two of you to let me escort him with the two of you, and it can be regarded as giving him a ride? ”

After speaking, he took out two rolls of dark money from his sleeve and stuffed them into the two ghosts. After receiving the money, a smile appeared on the faces of the two ghosts, and one of the ghosts nodded:

"Come with us in the car."

Huang Jian beckoned to me, supported Zhao Yuan, followed the two ghosts, and got into a police car. It was a typical van transporting prisoners, with the driver in the front seat and we sitting in the back compartment, separated from the cab by an iron railing, and the windows were sealed with iron mesh.

When we all got into the car, a ghost said in the back of the car:

"I've wronged a few people."

Then the car door was closed with a "clang", and then the sound of the door being locked was heard, and sure enough, the car for the prisoners was going to be locked. With the sound of an engine, the car drove out of the gate of the Senluo Palace, and turned onto the motorway.

I originally thought that Huang Jian rushed to see Zhao Yuan off, and the two of them could take this opportunity to talk again. didn't expect Huang Jian to be able to reduce Zhao Yuan's sentence and disperse all his family wealth, but at this time, he suddenly regretted his words, and Zhao Yuan also bowed his head, without even saying a word of thanks. The two men sat across from each other, not saying a word, like two wax figures.

Seeing that the car was driving faster and faster, I didn't know where Zhao Yuan was serving his sentence, but I just felt that the two of them were too wasteful of time. After a long time, Zhao Yuan finally spoke, but he didn't talk to Huang Jian:

"Zhou Dabiao, how is your case? Looks like it's over? ”

I was stunned for a moment and replied:

"Well, it's over. Belch...... Your legs ......"

Zhao Yuan squeezed out a smile:

"It's not a big deal to fall into such a field, and the leg is gone."

Hearing this, Huang Jian sighed and said:

"A hundred years is not short, but it is a lifetime. It is said that it is not long, but it is also a lifetime. You should practice atonement, and once your heart is crossed, the sentence will be over. ”

Zhao Yuan listened and nodded.

Huang Jian's words are quite philosophical, people live for a lifetime, and they are not long, and they are not short.

I looked out the window, and the billboard of the overwhelming storyteller Tian Fang that I saw when I first came to the underworld had been removed and replaced with an advertisement that read "Chang Zhenhua, Chang Gui's uncle and nephew co-starred". There is really a shortage of opera talents during the following period, so I invited them down one by one......

Life in the world is really a white horse, and the world after death is in front of you. I can't help but sigh that the hundred years of life in the yang world are indeed too small in this big wheel of reincarnation.

Not long after, the car drove out of the city, there were no flashing neon lights, and the surrounding area became strange and gloomy. Although I knew that Zhao Yuan was sentenced to axe and saw hell, I didn't know what place it was, I was very curious, and I wanted to ask how long this car was going to drive, but I looked up at the two "wax figures" of Huang Jian and Zhao Yuan, and swallowed the question back.

By this time, I had an idea. If it were me and Gao Liang, maybe we could still talk a few words with sadness or emotion at this time, and we might inevitably entrust it to family and friends. But these two people have been friends for more than 200 years, and there are no other concerns in this world, and at this moment, no matter what they say, it seems so contrived and useless.

Sometimes silence is as good as gold.

The car drove out of the city for about half an hour, and finally the light came in from the window.

This light is a bit unusual, since I followed Huang Jian down to the underworld, the world I have seen is gray, and where there is light, it is often the function of light, but this time the light coming in from outside the car is like the dawn sun, which makes people feel as if they are back in the sun.

I turned my head to look out the window and saw a ray of morning light in the direction I was traveling. I looked back at Huang Jian, who saw that my face was full of astonishment, and also looked out the window:

"Oh, in front of it is the temple of the King of the Earth, this light is coming from the temple, the Dharma is boundless, this is the place where the yang energy of the underworld is the strongest, but it is full of compassion and will not hurt the creatures of the underworld."

I have heard a lot about the legend of King Jizo Bodhisattva, who was one of the four great bodhisattvas and who saved his mother who was suffering in hell several times in his past life. Before his immeasurable eons, he made a vow: all sentient beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proven; Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha. Therefore, it is famous for its "great filial piety" and "great wish".

Moreover, it is said that this Jizo King Bodhisattva has reached the sea of wisdom of the Buddha, and his merits have already been fully fulfilled. According to the records in the Ten Wheels of the Earth, the Buddha preached the Dharma to the Bodhisattvas of the Heavens on Mount Bhadra and said to the Bodhisattvas himself, "There is another person besides me who can have such merit and wonderful teachings." "This person is Jizo Bodhisattva. But he insisted on going to hell and transforming the filthy earth sentient beings.

Sure enough, in this Yin Si realm, there is his temple.

Just thinking about it, our car was parked in a parking lot. I only heard the sound of unlocking the rear of the car, and then the door was opened, and the ghost standing at the door said:

"Get out of the car, and be careful to hold on to the injured one."

Huang Jian pushed me:

"You can't drive on the road ahead, get out of the car."

I quickly stood up, bent over, jumped out of the car, and turned around to help Huang Jian help Zhao Yuan down.

When it is said to be a parking lot, it is actually a flat land shoveled out of the rocky mountainous terrain, and a police car is parked alone on the huge parking lot. The ghost cha urged:

"Hurry up and go, come early today, don't squeeze or queue, finish early and pay early."

Huang Jian answered, helped Zhao Yuan with me, and walked out of the parking lot behind the two ghosts.

There is no building at the exit of the parking lot, the cliffs on both sides form a natural road, narrow and narrow can only accommodate three or four people side by side, fortunately this passage is only more than 100 meters away, from the road out, there is a strange scene in front of you!

In front of you is a small river, and a stone bridge is connected to the exit of the road. On one side of the stone bridge, there is a large waterwheel, and the river water pushes the waterwheel to rotate slowly, and the clear river water is carried by the bamboo tube on the waterwheel and poured into the water tank next to the stone bridge.

This side of the river is rocky and lifeless; On the other side of the river, there is green grass and bamboo, birds and flowers, and it is full of vitality.

Several people slowly walked to the bridge and stopped in the middle of the moment. I only heard Huang Jian say to Zhao Yuan:

"Go wash your face."

Zhao Yuan nodded, gently broke away from the hand that Huang Jian and I were holding him, and walked to the bridge on crutches.

Zhao Yuan put his double crutches on the side of the bridge, stood still on one leg, reached out and held a handful of stream water in the sink, first took a sip, then washed his face carefully, shook off the water in his hands, and walked back with his crutches.

Zhao Yuan did the whole process very carefully, and Huang Jian and the ghost cha also took it seriously, standing in place with their hands folded. Although I was confused, I didn't dare to ask more. Seeing Zhao Yuan coming back, he and Huang Jian supported each other and walked across the stone bridge.

When I got off the stone bridge, I immediately felt that my whole body was warm, and my whole body was indescribable. A path leads into a bamboo forest, which winds and turns slowly upward. Although it is a dirt road, it is not very wide, but fortunately it is not difficult to walk.

I finally couldn't help but ask:

"Huang Ye, what kind of river was that just now?"

Without waiting for Huang Jian to answer, Zhao Yuan took over the conversation:

"That river has no name, the source is the Jizo Temple on the mountain, and the end is also on the mountain, which means reincarnation, and it is the only living water in the underworld......"

"The only living water?"

Zhao Yuan nodded:

"yes, didn't you notice? When you get to Hades, all the rivers you see are black, and they have no waves, and you can't see their flow. That's the stagnant water, and the creek just now is the only living water. ”

I have been in the underworld for so many days, mainly in prison, and the only time I saw the river was at the fork of the road, so where is the water? It's clearly sulfuric acid like black oil, and it melts when you throw it in......

Could it be that all the rivers of Hades are like this?
