Chapter 38: Gather the Artifact

Amusement park commodities are dazzling, the magnificent shadow wall wall is coiled with the Great Wall, winding and majestic, like an eagle spreading its wings, the dragon raises its head, there is a huge Ferris wheel, the exciting frog jump, the surging torrent of the heart, the shadow of the green wall Zhu Lou looms in the crowd, in the park, bustling, the voice of the people is boiling.

"Xingyue, let's go over there, I want to play that dart." Su Kelan pulled Jiang Xingyue to a hexagonal pavilion, "Do you want to come and play?" Su Kelan handed the dart to Jiang Xingyue, with a pair of bright eyes, as bright and moving as the sea of stars. Although she was asking Jiang Xingyue's opinion, her bright eyes were expecting him to play darts. "Give it to me." Jiang Xingyue smiled dotingly and took the dart in Su Kelan's hand.

"Wow, Xingyue, you're amazing!" Su Kelan stroked his palm happily, he actually hit the red heart with twelve darts. "Miss, your boyfriend is too powerful, come, I'll get you a prize." The proprietress smiled brightly and turned to get the prize. Su Kelan was overjoyed by the proprietress praise, and her face was flushed, although Jiang Xingyue knew that they had not reached that kind of relationship, but she did not clarify, he was eager to get ahead, and now that he had reached his goal, he longed for the life of ordinary people, and thought: "Life doesn't have to be vigorous, it's not bad to be plain, like this, the years are quiet, and the present world is stable." ”

The stars in the sky are shining, like fine tears, on the spring river, the fishing boat sings at night, the mountains in the distance are slightly unlimited, the blue falls like jade, an old couple snuggles up to each other on the rattan chair by the river, smoking willow catkins, very romantic, Su Kelan quickly peeked at Jiang Xingyue, lowered her head again, her white and red face was in the light, delicate and lovely, Chu Chu moved: "When we are old one day and can't walk, if we can still be like today, holding hands and enjoying the bright scenery of the spring river and moon, how good it would be." At that moment, Jiang Xingyue had a feeling of "everyone was looking for her thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but that person was in the dim light", but when she thought of Zhuang Mengli, she was ashamed and restrained this thought.

After they finished playing darts, they walked to the fortune teller shop, an old woman in a cloak and black clothes, put a pile of colorful tarot cards on the table, her eyes were deep-set, a little gloomy, and her shrunken mouth laughed strangely and desolately: "What kind of hexagram do you want to count?" Without waiting for Jiang Xingyue to speak, Su Kelan hurriedly replied: "Old woman, can you help me calculate the marriage and fate of this gentleman?" ”

The old woman had words in her mouth, like doing it on the altar, paving the tarot cards into a fan arc, letting Jiang Xingyue draw one, test the marriage first, the first card he drew was the Holy Grail trump card, representing the beginning of a new relationship, but to open her heart, Jiang Xingyue was stunned: "New feelings, is it with Su Kelan?" He patted his head, so that he should not think about it, draw the second card, it is fate, this tarot card picture reflects that the god of death is riding on a tall horse, driving everyone into hell, the king is trampled under the horse's hooves because he resists death, the god of death represents Hades, and the king represents himself, which means not to resist Hades, otherwise he will encounter a dilemma.

The ancients said: Luck and luck meet ghosts, and ghosts make people when they decline, seeing this result, Jiang Xingyue was a little afraid, this is similar to his own situation, there is really a possibility of fulfillment, the king of Hades is a narrow-minded person, it is inevitable that there will be no more incidents, "Be careful!" An object suddenly fell from the air, Jiang Xingyue pushed Su Kelan away, the worry just now immediately came true, it really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao, the huge Ferris wheel behind them rotated rapidly, making a deafening sound, the mechanical shaft of the Ferris wheel was about to fall apart at this rapid speed, and what fell just now was the parts of the Ferris wheel.

The people in the Ferris wheel frantically slapped the glass, trying to escape from the confined space, the pod of the Ferris wheel fell from a height, under the strong impact, the iron sheet of the pod has been broken into several pieces, and the blood of the person who was smashed was splashed on the spot, in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, life is so fragile, the masses are in a panic, and the happy playground has instantly become a hell on earth.

"You stay here, I'll save people." Jiang Xingyue escorted Su Kelan to a safe place, "Be careful!" Su Kelan stopped Jiang Xingyue's back as she left. Although she was scared, she couldn't selfishly keep him.

Jiang Xingyue flew to the Ferris wheel, and the cabin of a Ferris wheel wanted to fall, "Help us!" Save our children. A pair of parents slapped the pod, tears flashed in their eyes, and suddenly the pod fell, and the people inside closed their eyes in horror, waiting for death to come, Jiang Xingyue caught the pod hard, took two steps back under the effect of inertia, and fortunately stabilized his body, "It's okay!" We're fine, and so are the kids! The joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made the middle-aged man excitedly hug his wife and children.

"Daddy, look! Stopped! The Ferris wheel is stopped! The child was held in his arms, looking at the Ferris wheel that stopped in surprise, Jiang Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief, a bead of sweat slid down his hair, and finally ...... Is it over? The child suddenly became frightened, and he desperately hid in his mother's arms: "Mom, I'm afraid." ”

Jiang Xingyue turned around and saw a blue-faced and fanged Shura mask, emitting an eerie light in the daylight, that hideous face couldn't hide the viciousness flowing, it was the underworld general Rahu: "Jiang Xingyue, if you want to save people, you will expose your identity, if you don't become a police chief, you will be hunted down and killed by humans endlessly, the hearts of people in the world are sinister, each of these witnesses will betray you and ruin your reputation!" Why don't you let me kill them all? The voice in his throat was fierce and cruel, without any mercy.

"Boom." Luo Hu smiled, the cold air climbed up the back of the person along the soles of his feet, Jiang Xingyue thought that he was going to attack again, but unexpectedly Luo Hu disappeared in the same place, and the frogs in the distance jumped up and down, leaving a choice of conscience and interests, whether to choose to save people, be worthy of their hearts, and then hide in the shadows for the rest of their lives, or let it go, hide their identity, and live guilty in the halo, the "help" cry for help attracted Jiang Xingyue's attention.

I saw that a girl was hanging in the air, her eyes were terrified, there was a frog jumping high above her head, and she was about to fall heavily, and it was even conceivable that if the frog jumped so high really fell on her head, then her brain must have collapsed everywhere,,, Jiang Xingyue remembered Zhuang Mengli's expectations for him, to be a kind person who dares to fight against the darkness, even if he is misunderstood and spurned for a lifetime, what does it matter.

"Please... Hurry up and save my child..."The parents who wept bitterly, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged Jiang Xingyue, he spread his bat wings, flew into the sky, and hugged the girl down, accompanied by the surprised eyes of others, the girl and her parents saw the fangs in his mouth and blood-red eyes, Jiang Xingyue quickly covered his face and fled from the crowd, the demon folded his wings, but turned into a seraphic angel to give people light and warmth, the girl and her parents knelt on the ground and prayed to the sky: "Sir, whether you are human or not, you are a kind person, We bless you with peace and well-being. ”

The heavy rain in the woods, the mud mixed with leaves, Jiang Xingyue hid under a tree, hugged his head and cried, although the man had tears and did not flick, it was just not to the sad place, he had nothing now, the previous struggle came to naught, Su Kelan chased after him and hugged him from behind: "Even if you lose everything, at least you still have me, no matter how big the wind and rain, we will carry it together, you can't be the police chief, I will resign, you are spurned, I will accompany you to bear the infamy." Jiang Xingyue buried her head in her clothes, like a gentle soft bed, a safe harbor, adversity sees the truth, now that he has fallen into Pingyang, only Su Kelan can treat him sincerely, the rain is still dripping, but it has become a silent light rain, moisturizing his heart.

It was getting late, they went to an elegant and delicate hotel to stay, chrysanthemums were planted under the east fence, and the arrangement was quite poetic, Su Kelan took care of the quilt for him, and the TV news broadcast the story of today's playground, including the beginning and end of Jiang Xingyue's original form, the unscrupulous media were pervasive, and constantly doxxed his identity, Su Kelan quickly picked up the controller, turned off the TV, there was only one bed in the room, Su Kelan was afraid of affecting his rest, lying on the sofa and falling asleep, as if she had dreamed of something happy, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, Like a crescent moon, a big hand reached out to her in the dark...

In the morning, the sun shines through the window lattice, Jiang Xingyue woke up in a daze, he was so sad last night that he slept until noon, and he didn't see Su Kelan's figure, only a letter on the table, and the yellowed title page read: "Su Kelan is in our hands, if you want to see her again, come to the underworld to speak, remember, God knows this matter, you know and I know, you can't let others know, and only you are allowed to come alone, and you are not allowed to bring helpers, otherwise, discipline her head in a different place, and the underworld general Rahu worships." ”

This Rahu deceives people too much, Jiang Xingyue chews through his gum teeth, but Su Kelan's life is in his hands, what can he do? Can only go to the underworld single-handedly, because he is not familiar with the terrain, he specially invited a guide near the secluded capital to lead the way, over the mountains, the ground in front of the cracks, magma gushing, the secluded Xiu with dark clouds, the guide stopped in front, no matter how much he was paid, he refused to go, only pointed to the coiling dragon building in the distance: "The front is the secluded capital, here is the upper and lower blue fall, the lower secluded spring, just the place of the absolute yin, the beginning of heaven and earth, the chaos is one, the clear air rises to the sky, the world's turbid gas, then condensed here, is the root of the dead air, the black gas is majestic all year round, I can only send it here, you take care. He clenched his fists and went down the mountain.

Here is a lonely peak, full of depression and broken branches, the dragon entrenched in the building, with huge wings, inlaid with precious belly armor, not an auspicious dragon, but a hellish dragon, the ghost and miserable in the underworld, the shadow of blood, full of the wailing of the soul, there are hundreds of teeth like swords, eyes like lightning Yaksha is responsible for execution, ghosts or plough with tongues, or intestines and crushes, or put in the file and wok, every day with different tricks and torture, torture and death, the yin wind blows, and then revive and wake up, and so on and so on, although ten thousand calamities are sought to come out of the indefinite.

Rahu looked at the "pleasing to the eye" and boasted: "Do you know where hell is? Jiang Xingyue closed his eyes and did not answer, in order to ignore the hatred, Luo Hu said to himself: "Within the three seas, there are all great hells, hundreds of thousands, each with its own differences, the so-called big one, with eighteen, this has five hundred, the amount of suffering is not poisonous, and there are thousands of times, and there is no amount of suffering." He is right, there are blood pools for more than 8,000 miles around, and the outer walls are dense and firm, made of King Kong, and it is difficult to escape even if you stick your wings.

This situation reminded Jiang Xingyue of the description in the Divine Comedy: "I will take you out of this place and go to the Eternal State, where you will hear screams of despair, you will see ancient ghosts suffering, and you will see ghosts suffering in the fire." Although he felt the gust of yin wind, he still pretended to be calm: "What is hell like, what does it have to do with me, hand over Su Kelan to me." ”

Luo Hu looked at Yu Che sitting on the throne of white bones, he nodded and acquiesced, the ghost soldier who escorted Su Kelan released his halberd and pushed her over, Jiang Xingyue anxiously checked Su Kelan's injuries, fortunately intact, his angular face was like a lone eagle in the dark night, he made a sound that could not be ignored, and the underworld trembled: "Mr. Jiang, I have returned to Zhao, the two of you, just be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks in the underworld, rest assured, I will not treat you badly." Jiang Xingyue knew that he was not the opponent of the Hades King, so he decided to agree first, and then plan later, Su Kelan hid in his arms, tender, and thought: "In this desert city, it is not bad to stay with him." ”

The trail on the Huangquan Road lingers, the barren land is full of red and bright flowers on the other side, it is very similar to the night city, but the bridge is narrow and smooth, the insects and snakes under the bridge are full of waves, walking on the bridge deck, the sorrow of a river, the green eyes pass slowly, at the end of the bridge, there is a pavilion made of stone with a Zhu column, the beautiful Meng Po leads the visitors, prepares the Meng Po soup with a slender jade hand, and the weak gossamer murmurs: "A drop of raw tears, two old tears, three bitter tears, four cups of regret tears, five inches of lovesick tears, six cups of sick tears, seven feet of parting tears." Then he shed a teardrop, the aroma immediately came to the nose, Meng Po soup to eight tears as a guide, need to be slowly boiled, to remove its bitterness, to leave its sweetness, just to boil out a pot of good soup.

Meng Po jade ring jingle crisp, bursts of strong fragrance hit, visitors can not resist, drink a bowl, forget the past, a hundred years of repair of the same boat, a thousand years of cultivation of the same sleep, began in Si, grace is broken here, Meng Po'e frowned slightly, sad face, peach powder face is a little dim, Su Kelan sighed: "Meng Po to how many deceased people to drink Meng Po soup, to refuse to drink a bowl of their own, but the bitterness of lovesickness." Jiang Xingyue replied: "Maybe she has someone unforgettable." ”

Meng Po is waiting for a person, if he comes, he can drink Meng Po soup together, reincarnate together, will not be born I am not born, according to Rahu, Yue Lao and Meng Po were childhood sweethearts, and then because of the intervention of the Emperor of Heaven and close to the end of the world, since then the flowers have drifted and the water has flowed freely, a kind of lovesickness, two sorrows, one is responsible for implicating the red line, and the other is specifically cutting off the love silk, just like the Manzhu Shahua of the flowers and leaves, open for a thousand years, fall for a thousand years, and never see each other.
