"It seems that you really didn't make any preparations before you came to the underworld." The look in his black eyes was full of ridicule, although I have experienced a lot of things in recent years, and I have calmed my temperament a lot, but after all, I am still in my prime, and I don't want to be easily ridiculed, not to mention that ridiculing me can't be called a person in the strict sense, but a ghost, which makes my face where to put it.

I retorted with a red face: "I am a person from the underworld, and I don't need to know about your underworld. Listening to my words, he not only did not restrain himself, but sneered again: "As a ghost mother, I don't even know such simple common sense, and I still use strong words. After speaking, he actually looked directly at the river in front of him, with a look of laziness to take care of me, I knew that he couldn't talk about him, and he seemed to have lost interest in talking to me, so he only closed his mouth angrily, and was silent for a while, I was still unwilling, and shouted at him from afar: "Hey? He moved, but he didn't turn around, he didn't speak.

But after seven days of wandering in the vast water and sky, I was already idle, and he ignored me, and I had time to compete with him, and I persevered in calling him, one after another, and each one louder than the other. Zhu Liu collapsed at the stern of the boat, his face was pale, and he couldn't bear to cover his ears, and finally, when I shouted the one hundred and second sound, the man in black like a stubborn stone finally turned his head to look at me, and before I could react, he got up angrily, walked in front of me, and looked at me angrily with only a pair of black eyes, obviously impatient, he suppressed his voice and roared: "What do you want to do?" Are you people in the yang world so annoying? When Zhu Liu heard his words, he pouted at him dissatisfiedly: "I don't have the catkins to bother, I didn't say anything." ”

The man in black looked at Zhu Liu with a cold look in his eyes: "Shut up, you're also annoying." Looking at him, I involuntarily shrank back, as if I had angered a plague god. The man in black noticed my expression, sat directly on the ground, sat opposite me and Zhu Liu, and after sitting down, he raised his eyes to look at us, and said lightly: "Say, whatever you want to ask, ask it all at once." ”

Hearing that he was relieved, I cleared my throat and didn't be polite to him, wasn't this the purpose of my calling, I directly asked the question that had plagued me all the way: "What is the weak water river?" ”

"Weak water is not a thing, as you can see, it is a boundary, and when it comes to weak water, we must talk about a place that is very close to weak water, and it is also a place that is passed on by the general public - Meng Po Bridge." The man in black spoke in a flat tone.

Zhu Liu and I glanced at each other, Mengpo Bridge we all know, according to legend, people have to pass through the ghost gate after death, through Huangquan Road, between Huangquan Road and Hades, by the Lechuan River as the divide. The water of the Lechuan River is blood-yellow, and it is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts that cannot be reincarnated, insects and snakes are everywhere, and the fishy wind blows on the face. There is a Nai He Bridge on the Lechuan River, there is an old woman sitting on the side of the Nai He Bridge, her name is Meng Po, if you want to cross the Lechuan River, you must cross the Nai He Bridge, you must cross the Nai He Bridge, you must cross the Nai He Bridge, you must cross the Meng Po Soup, you can't cross the Nai He Bridge, you can't be reincarnated if you can't cross the Nai He Bridge. When I was a child, my grandfather told me countless times, and I listened to it countless times, but every time I listened to it, I felt a sense of amazement, and at this moment, when I think of this story, I still have a low feeling in my heart. But the man in black didn't notice my emotions, and he continued to tell himself: "Its water is on the left side of Artemisia Mountain, and there is a bridge to cross it. Naihe is the place where the dead reach the underworld, and the living and the living, the monsters want to reach the underworld, but they have to cross one more pass, that is, the weak river, and the person who crosses the pass is equivalent to experiencing nine deaths and a lifetime, and Yangshou will also be damaged, so he has the qualification to come to the underworld, and the king of Hades will not care. ”

Before I came, I knew that there must be some price, so I didn't feel surprised to hear that Yangshou was damaged, but what really surprised me was that he said that crossing the weak river would have to experience nine deaths, but I didn't feel the danger of the weak river, except for the endless heavy rain, gloomy weather, and surging waves, I didn't notice anything abnormal, if this is the threshold of nine deaths and one life, isn't it too simple.

The man in black seemed to see my thoughts from my expression, his eyes swept over my face, a rare smile, his voice was a little less gloomy, it was a little surprisingly good, but what he said was not as good as his voice, only to hear him warn us: "Don't think too simply, the real road has just begun." We have only walked a small part of the weak water. ”

As soon as his words fell, Zhu Liu and I were dumbfounded, and we walked for seven days and seven nights, but he told us that we had just walked a small part of the distance, which was really shocking, and we couldn't help but have more fear of the unknown ahead.

The man in black showed a frightened look when he saw us, but he didn't mean to restrain at all, and then told us the truth: "The biggest weak water is the Night Swamp, which is a large lake on the Kyushu continent, and there is no grass growing in the weak water, but two kinds of creatures can be seen in the Night Swamp. With that, he paused and paused.

I comforted myself in my heart that where there are creatures to grow, it should not be so dangerous, indicating that it can at least give birth to life, and in the next second, I heard the man in black say lightly: "Those two creatures are the ground python and the nocturnal bird." "I sighed in my heart, they are all creatures that I have never heard of, I feel very strange when I hear the name, in the afterglow, I see Zhu Liu's face has been completely white, she is panting heavily, her body is still trembling slightly, the whole person exudes an abnormal breath, I have known her for so long, I have never seen her like this, I am afraid that something will happen to her, I quickly moved towards Zhu Liu, took her hand, and found that her hand was cold. I hurriedly hugged her and asked in a trembling voice, "Zhu Liu, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Liu raised his eyes to look at me, shook weakly, and suddenly transformed into his original form. I looked at Zhu Liu, who had turned into a white fox, and was a little at a loss for a while, so I had to raise my eyes to ask the man in black for help, the man in black hesitated for a while, but still walked over, he bent down, stretched out his hand and probed at the end of Zhu Liu's nose, and then straightened up and said lightly: "Put it here, you can't die, it's just going to be dormant." ”

Listening to his words, I was skeptical, but I still held the little fox and didn't let go: "Will the fox also sleep?" How I've never heard of it. He was silent for a while, and did not answer me, and just when I thought he would not speak again, he suddenly considered and said: "Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is feigned death, she feels threatened, so she enters a state of escape, lowering her sense of existence, trying to escape from danger, which is very common in nature, weak animals perceive the breath of powerful animals, and will protect themselves in this way." ”

Rao is no matter how stupid I am, I also understand what Zhu Liu's current state has to do with it, I carefully put Zhu Liu in the corner of the cabin, and looked directly at the man in black: "What are the ground pythons and nocturnal birds you are talking about?" Why does it make Zhu Liu feel so afraid? ”

The man in black looked at the cabin with heavy eyes, there was nothing but the churning clear lake, at least I didn't see anything, but his serious expression couldn't help but make me nervous, and after staring quietly for a while, he seemed to have just heard my words, turned around, but didn't look at me, but looked down at his fingers, he stared at his fingers wrapped in black cloth, and said in a light tone: "Compared with those two creatures, Zhu Liu is too weak, Weak to be worth mentioning, in the face of the strong, weak movements will have a natural sense of terror, which is uncontrollable, so Zhu Liu's reaction is a matter of course. As for what the Anaconda Nocturnal Bird is, I won't be able to explain it for a while, anyway, you just need to know that the Night Marsh is called the Sea of Death, and the Anaconda Nocturnal Bird is a creature that grows in the Sea of Death. ”

After saying this, he didn't wait for me to react, he directly lifted the curtain on the cabin, and walked out directly, through the gap between the cabins, I saw him stride onto the bow of the ship, not long after he stepped on the bow, the rain fell more violently, his black clothes were completely soaked, tightly attached to his back, but his back stopped straight, his hands behind his back, standing firmly in the bow of the ship, it was a mast, guiding us in the direction of progress.

In the process of moving forward in the boat, I suddenly found that on both sides of the riverbank, there were large clusters of red flowers growing in the distance, the red ones were like blood, and they spread out vigorously, like a road paved with blood, which bloomed so vigorously in this gloomy weather, and couldn't help but make people's hearts gush with a chill.

I suddenly remembered a legend I had heard: the flower of the other side, also known as Manzhu Sawa, is a kind of flower that blooms in the underworld, connecting the two worlds of yin and yang, and is an ominous flower.

At this moment, the man in black suddenly turned his head, and there was a strange brilliance in his eyes, which burned brightly, and it seemed to me that his face behind the black cloth was clearly smiling.

He looked at me and said a few words in a clear voice: "Night Marsh has arrived." ”
