In the laughter of the snow, we walked briskly across Huangquan Road, and gradually, a river lay in front of us!
The river was pale yellow, and it looked like it was rolling in waves, but there was no sound at all.
The bank of the river is wide, the river is bottomless, and above the two banks, there is a river bridge!
On the bank of the river stands a huge stone monument with three big characters written on it: "Lethe River"!
There is also a stone monument under the bridge, and there are also three big characters on it: "Nai He Bridge"!
I was taken aback and looked back at Bai Xue and said, "This is the Lethe River and the Nai He Bridge?" β
"Yes." Bai Xue said: "This is the famous Lechuan River and Nai He Bridge. β
I looked at the rolling yellow river with some horror, and asked Bai Xuedao: "Didn't you say that the river water here is all tears shed by people and ghosts from the two worlds?" Why is this color yellow? Human tears are transparent, but are ghost tears yellow? β
"It's not like you haven't shed tears." Bai Xue glanced at me and said, "Just before entering the ghost gate, I saw you secretly wiping a handful of tears, don't pretend, there is no wind and sand here, and I can't fascinate your eyes - you have seen your own tears, and you should have seen Mu Qianqian's tears, are they yellow?" β
I shook my head slightly embarrassed and said, "No, it's also transparent and colorless." β
"Isn't that right?" Bai Xue said: "So the yellow in this Lechuan River is not the color of tears." β
I said, "Why is the river yellow?" β
Bai Xue said: "If you mix red blood into colorless and transparent water, what color will it become?" β
I was stunned for a moment, then suddenly woke up and said in astonishment: "You, do you mean that half of this Lechuan River is full of tears, and the other half, yes, is blood?" β
"You're not stupid yet." Bai Xue said: "Blood and tears are often intertwined, there is blood without tears, there are tears without blood, it always feels like something is missing, doesn't it?" β
I was silent, looking at the Lechuan River, and suddenly I felt a chill from the soles of my feet to my head!
I couldn't help but ask Bai Xue again: "So where did the blood in this Lechuan River come from?" β
"Eighteen Floors of Hell." Bai Xue said indifferently: "Day and night, there are dead souls suffering and punishment there, cutting off hands and feet, gouging out eyes and tongues, and dissecting hearts and abdomen...... The blood of those dead souls has all flowed to this Lethe River. β
"But, but......" I murmured, "why doesn't this river smell of blood?" β
Now that I had crossed the flowering Huangquan Road on the other side, I had resumed my breathing, but on the bank of the Lechuan River, looking at the yellow water that was rolling away but silent, I didn't smell anything.
"Really?" Bai Xue smiled and said, "You see that there is blood in this Lechuan River, how can you not smell blood?" Could it be that your nose is fake? β
As soon as Bai Xue's words fell, a fishy smell suddenly came to his nose!
I was rushed by the smell, almost immediately gagged, my chest was turbid, and I coughed so hard that I almost coughed through my lungs!
"Hahahaha......" Bai Xue gloated and laughed on the side, "Stupid, how is it, you smell blood, right?" β
I quickly held my breath again, calmed down for a while, and then stabilized my mood, I glared at Bai Xue angrily and said, "Bai Xue, are you making trouble again?" β
"Am I a troublemaker?" Bai Xue said: "What the hell can I mess with, you said that you can't smell blood, and you look regretful, but when you smell it, you are unhappy again, do you have a cheap heart?" β
"What the hell is going on?" I said, "Why didn't it taste just now, but now it suddenly has it?" β
"That's a lot of nonsense." Bai Xue didn't explain to me, and said, "You still can't leave?" Read on the bridge! Don't be too curious, be careful of being killed by yourself! β
I was stunned, Bai Xue had already pulled me without saying anything, and walked towards the Nai He Bridge.
The momentum of the bridge is extremely high, built very steep, take a closer look, there are not even steps, and the dead souls have passed on this bridge, although they are scrambling, but many ghosts have just gone up, they have slipped down, and they have fallen under the bridge, and there are many ghosts sitting paralyzed under the bridge, and they are "snorting", "snorting" and panting, and some are scolding, saying that they are clearly entertaining and torturing the dead! How can such a bridge be walked?
I was surprised to myself, Bai Xue had already pulled me to the bridge, Bai Xue was the first, I was behind, Bai Xue pulled me up quickly and walked a few steps, although the feet were a little slippery, but Bai Xue stood extremely steady, so that even with me I can walk steadily, seeing that I was about to walk to the bridge center, the front suddenly shouted again: "The female ghost in white!" Let go and let the ghost walk on his own! β
These words were like thunder, shaking my ears buzzing, I was just surprised, I saw Bai Xue let go of his hand, "staggering", I stood unsteadily, one slipped, and fell!
This fall made me roll three times off the bridge before I rolled to the ground, and I lay under the bridge in the posture of a dog eating!
"Hahahaha......"
Snow burst out laughing on the bridge.
The souls of the fallen souls under the bridge also looked at me and laughed:
"Oh, look at this idiot, he's worse than I fell!"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get up!"
ββ¦β¦β
I stood up indignantly, proving to the crowd of goblins that I could still get upβbut my body ached.
"Snowy!" I said angrily, "You're teasing me again!" β
"You idiot!" Bai Xuewu couldn't help laughing and said, "Your nose is not good, and your ears are not good?" Didn't you hear a voice telling me to let go? This bridge can only rely on your own efforts, you can't climb up by yourself, and no one can help you! Look at the ghosts lying and sitting under the bridge, some of them have been climbing under the bridge for decades, and they still haven't climbed up! If you can't climb up, you can't be reincarnated. β
"Of course I heard that!" Bai Xue's statement and explanation of Nai He Bridge made me even more angry, and I said, "I'm not deaf!" But you should have known the rules of the bridge in advance, so why didn't you tell me in advance? Why are you still pulling me up the bridge? Do you want to see me make a fool of yourself? β
"Then I pulled you, and you didn't refuse." Bai Xue smiled and said, "It's you who want to take advantage of the effortless effort and take advantage of it, but you fell and ate, who else can you blame?" β
I was speechless when I said this, and after a long time, I finally had another explanation, complaining to her: "Then even if you want to let go just now, shouldn't you tell me in advance?" Didn't you let go with the intention of throwing me off? β
"Oops!" Bai Xue said impatiently: "You can't come up yet?" Why are you so verbose, muttering, and talking endlessly! You're still not a man?! β
I don't want to be like this, it's just that Bai Xue, a dead girl, teased me repeatedly, I was really resentful, and I had nowhere to vent.
I tilted my face and craned my neck to see who had shouted for Bai Xue's hand just now, but the bridge was so high that I couldn't see anything but the snow being high above me.
"Come on!" Bai Xue shouted: "Stick your head out, what are you looking around!" β
I had no choice but to rub my nose and slowly walk towards the Nai He Bridge, but a few ghosts immediately shouted under the Nai He Bridge, saying, "I'm going to fall again!" It's going to fall again! β
"Look at the excitement!"
ββ¦β¦β
I glared at them a few times, then cautiously stepped on my feet, and as soon as I pushed hard, the result was a slippage.
The harder you use, the more you slide!
It's not going to go up at all!
I looked up at the snow, which was still standing at half the height of the upper bridge deck, and smiled at me, "How is it?" I told you before, after the Ghost Gate Pass, it is not necessarily Yangguan Avenue and everything is fine, and there are still many passes to pass. On the Huangquan Road, by the Lechuan River, you can hold your breath and not smell those smells, which is already opportunistic, but not every ghost has this skill. But now, you can't, right? You can't even climb up a small bridge, tsk...... What are you still capable of? β
