Chapter 380: The River of Weak Water
The rain has been falling for seven days and seven nights, and it has not stopped. The vast space between heaven and earth makes people feel a sense of desolation, and it is indeed desolate that we should feel desolate, because we are walking the road of the underworld, life and death, and it will never be destroyed.
I sat at the end of the small boat that was shaking by the fierce rain, and next to me sat Zhu Liu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and since she followed us on this boat, she began to get seasick, and vomited every day, and even after so long, there was still no tendency to slow down. The man in black sitting on the bow of the boat was the one who took us to the boat, seven days ago, it was he who came to the inn to meet us, from the informant's mouth, I knew that he was a ghost in the underworld, but other than that, I didn't know anything about him, he was dressed in black all day long, his face was covered with black cloth, and his whole body was only above the bridge of his nose, below the eyebrows, just from the face he showed to look at him, he was a beautiful man, with a high nose bridge, dark and deep eyes, that is, white skin like a ghost, barely in line with his ghost identity.
I don't know his name, I haven't seen his face completely, I only know that he is from the underworld, and he wants to take us to the underworld, for him, I don't know the past, and I don't look at the future, as long as he can take us to the underworld, it doesn't matter who he is, Zhu Liu was very interested in him at first, but since he was bumped by the fierce wave and vomited a few times, he lost interest in him. He was still as silent as ever, at the moment he was sitting at the bow of the boat, his eyes were blazing, staring ahead, he pinched a trick in his hand, and the cold air was exuding all over his body, I looked at him quietly, he was doing something to let our boat move forward, the boat moved without wind, there was no oar, there was no boatman, and he could accurately avoid the hidden crisis under the deep sea, relying on the person in front of him.
Everyone thinks that at the junction of the two worlds of yin and yang, there must be ten thousand ghosts, all kinds of ghosts will haunt here, blood pools, sword mountains and fire seas are also indispensable, this is bound to be a dangerous and dangerous way. But when I first stepped into this place of yin and yang, all the stereotypes were shattered.
The place where yin and yang meet is actually a river, but this river is too big, it seems to come from heaven, from east to west, and it flows endlessly. The river water is clear and visible to the bottom, you can vaguely see the fine white pebbles at the bottom of the river, it should be the big river that flows endlessly, after several years of washing and grinding, today's weather is very good, the river looks particularly calm, the clear river water is gushing endlessly, the pebbles at the bottom of the water are faintly shining under the sunshine, a quiet time, the scene of stability in the present world, but Zhu Liu is obviously a little disappointed. She looked at the man in black and asked suspiciously, "This is the place where yin and yang meet, how is it a little different from what I imagined." ”
The man in black was standing quietly at the end of the riverbank, he looked at the river in front of him, I don't know what he was pondering, the wind blowing by the river blew his black clothes, like a flock of black pigeons rushing through his body, and then dispersed, he really didn't look like a person in the yang world, the people in the yang world did not have this yin energy in his body, and he didn't give me the feeling that he was completely a person in the underworld, he had a contradictory atmosphere, I frowned, he didn't look like a person in this worldHe doesn't belong anywhere, but I have no intention of inquiring, as long as he can bring me to Tanega's side, regardless of who he is, whether he is a human or a ghost.
At this time, the man was interrupted by Zhu Liu from his contemplation, he glanced at Zhu Liu expressionlessly, and then raised his hand to the river, I silently looked at his hand, even his hand was covered with a layer of black cloth, I secretly scolded in my heart: it is a strange person, fortunately he knows to breathe with his nostrils and eyes to see the road, otherwise, I don't know if he will cover his whole body.
In the next second, I heard him say in a low voice: "The white stones at the bottom of the river are all made of the bones of the people who died in this river. I looked back at him in surprise, and when I turned my head to look at the river, I could no longer feel the calm and peaceful breath just now, I could only feel the gloom, Zhu Liu listened to his words, and murmured in my ear: "No wonder, I felt a little strange when I first came over, I don't know if I found it, this river is not grass at all, no wonder it is so clear." ”
The man in black obviously heard Zhu Liu's words, he chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and was noncommittal. I turned my head to look at the river, and saw both sides of the rushing river, as far as the eye could see, within a radius of five meters, there was no grass, and then I looked at the bottom of the river, except for the fine and dense white bones, there was nothing, not even a single aquatic weed, not a single swimming fish, I looked at this inch of grass on both sides, a cold air unconsciously rose from the soles of my feet, I shivered, looked up at the man in black, from my point of view, I could only see his dark, emotionless eyes, I asked the doubts in my heart:" Why are so many people dying here, but I can't even feel the breath of the ghost. ”
"Because this river is a river of weak water, 'she' not only eats human bones, but also absorbs people's souls, as long as she falls into this river, there is no hope of survival, and there is no chance of reincarnation." As he spoke, he sneered, and then slowly spoke: "It can also be said that he has entered the realm of immortality and immortality. ”
"Immortal and immortal?" Human bones and souls have been devoured, so how can immortality begin? I didn't understand what he meant.
He turned his head to look at me, his black pupils were emotionless, but there was a hint of coolness, and he said in a strange voice: "The soul and body are invested in this river, and they are manipulated by this river, as long as this river does not dry up, isn't it equivalent to living with this river?" Isn't it immortal and immortal? ”
"Then I don't want to get such a 'chance to live and die'." Zhu Liu shook his head and said with a look of horror.
It seems that this name "weak water" must be extremely dangerous, I am afraid in my heart, and I regret it a little, I usually hear this word, and I have heard many articles of this name in film and television dramas, but I don't care, who knows that I really come here now, but I don't know anything about this place, I should have known a little more about the underworld, so that I can save my life, now everything can only rely on this man in black, I opened my mouth, or I want to ask him what this river called "weak water" is.
But before the words could be spoken, he was interrupted by the man in black, he raised his hand and reached into the void, and then quickly stretched out his hand back, and said in a somewhat nervous tone: "The gate of the underworld is open, and we are ready to go." ”
As soon as his words fell, a drop of rain fell on the tip of my nose, and then, in less than two seconds, the rain quickly became heavier, the raindrops first fell densely, and then poured down, I looked up to the sky, the sky was full of dark clouds, and in an instant it had completely darkened, and the three of us were all wet, standing in the empty world, I felt the danger of the situation, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of tension. Zhu Liu was about to find a place to shelter from the rain in a panic, but was dragged back by the man in black and shouted: "Stand up, it's useless to hide, we're about to go." Zhu Liu was rarely reprimanded, and he couldn't help but feel aggrieved, but seeing the tense situation, he knew that only the man in black was most familiar with this place, and he had his own reason for arranging it like this, so he didn't resist again.
The man in black saw the two of us standing in the rain, silently looked away, pulled out a small wooden flute from the placket, took it to his mouth and blew it, the flute looks simple, but the blowing out is tactful and melodious, and it is teleported out from afar, making people feel at ease, he is standing in the majestic rain, and he has a momentum of immobility. In this way, there was no trace of ghost in him, and I silently looked at this strange connector through the rain curtain.
He blew quietly for a while, in the distance, I saw a boat floating in the water, I was pleasantly surprised to pull Zhu Liu's hand, it seems that someone came to pick us up, Zhu Liu happily wiped the rain on his face, jumped and waved to the people on the boat. When the boat got closer, I realized that there was no one on the boat, no oars, no boatmen, only an empty boat, and what was even more strange was that the boat was obviously coming from the river. The boat stopped in front of us after a Xuan'er, and the man in black stopped playing the flute and stuffed it into the collar again.
Seeing that Zhu Liu and I hesitated and had no intention of getting on the boat, he took a long step, took the lead in bypassing the two of us, stepped onto the boat, and sat in the cabin, he looked at us calmly, and ordered in a light tone: "Don't get on the boat yet?" This is the only way to go to the underworld. ”
Zhu Liu listened to his words, looked at me hesitantly, I pressed her palm, gave her a comforting smile, and stepped directly on the boat, Zhu Liu saw my movements, did not hesitate, and also stepped up.
The moment we got on the boat, the boat began to drift slowly in the direction from which it came, but the rain in the air did not stop, it was still dark, and it was raining mightily, and we were under the protection of the boat, and we were moving forward in this big river, and it was already the seventh day now.
In the seven days on the boat, although the rain was dangerous and the water waves were mighty, nothing dangerous happened, since according to the man in black, this is the junction of the two worlds of yin and yang - the river of weak water, and so far, nothing unusual has happened, then there should be no more problems.
When I told the man in black what I thought, it was as if he had heard a big joke, and for a moment, his disdain made me a little embarrassed.
