Chapter 222 Infatuated with the other side of the flower
When I got off the boat, I gave Hou Lao Ghost and Li Lao Ghost a few gold bills and asked, "Brother Hou, is that heart you said reliable?" “
Hou Lao Ghost said: "This is too reliable, do you have such a saying in the yang world, that Bai Bu does not say that people do not talk about ghosts at night?" ”
I nodded, and Hou Lao Ghost said: "That's right, the ghost heart is the most powerful, as long as you see your junior brother, then you will naturally have a sense." ”
I said, "Okay, that's good, that's good, thank you two old brothers." ”
After saying that, we took the things, and got off the boat, after getting off the boat, my whole person will not walk, in fact, this is not the road, I saw that the ground is full of red flowers, this red heart has no leaves, all flowers, spread on the ground, leading to the distance, there is no sun, moon and stars in the underworld, everywhere is dim, only here is covered with bewitching red.
This kind of flower is called the other side of the flower, is the only flower in the underworld, but also the only scenery in the underworld, after this three-way river, even if it is intermittent with the yang, this flower can evoke the memory of life, far away it looks like a carpet paved with blood, and because it is red like fire and is known as the "fire road", walking on this road, it is necessary to forget all the rights and wrongs of life to the other side, to the Yin Si report.
In fact, there is also a flower on the other side of the sun, and most of the places where it grows are in the field paths, riverside trails and cemeteries, so it is also called the dead man's flower. As soon as autumn arrives, it blooms with flowers that are so colorful that they are close to red and black, and the whole flower looks shocking red, like fire, like blood, and like a flower. The three days before and after the spring equinox are called the other side of spring, and the three days before and after the autumn equinox are called the other side of autumn. It is the day of going to the grave. Flowers bloom on the other side, you can't see the leaves when the flowers bloom, you can't see the flowers when there are leaves, the flowers and leaves don't see each other, and the life is wrong.
Looking at this fiery road, I was a little afraid to go forward, then Zheng Tianbao said: "Senior brother, let's go, let me say first, we will walk on this road, there will be a lot of memories, you must not be too sad, in fact, we are just souls here." Didn't really get here. ”
I nodded, and Zheng Tianbao and I embarked on this road of fire, people stepped on flowers, like stepping on fire, everywhere there is this bright red, there is a kind of intoxicating beauty. Walking and walking, there was a sudden change in front of my eyes, and it became extremely bright, I quickly protected my eyes, in fact, people in the endless darkness, suddenly there was light, the first reaction was not to embrace the light, but to quickly close my eyes to avoid the light.
When I opened my eyes again, I suddenly found that my surroundings had changed, there were mountains in the distance, villages in the distance, and I myself had become a child, alone in the wheat field. Why did I suddenly return to the village, just when I was wondering, two people came running in the distance, one was Baoguo, the other was Tianning, they were five or six years old, and the three of us were playing hand in hand.
Then my eyes changed, it became my home, my parents were kind to me and watched me eat there, the scene was still changing, it became the way we were apprenticing, just like this, I kept recalling, and finally I recalled that Mao Qinglian healed me, and recalled that as long as I was with her, my heart would beat inexplicably.
After recalling the last scene, suddenly I had a sad feeling, I felt that I could never go back, once I couldn't go back, I would never be able to see my family again, see Mao Qinglian and them, thinking of this, my eyes began to be confused, tears in my eyes, blindfolded, began to see things clearly. Then I felt a lie in my heart, and I wanted to cry.
In the end, I didn't care about anything, I sat on the ground and cried all of a sudden, I couldn't hold back at all, I wanted to cry vigorously, just when I was crying in a daze, someone patted me on the shoulder, and then said, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Why are you crying? It must have been the magic of the other side of the flower. ”
I wiped my tears and looked around, but all the sights around me were gone, leaving only the dim sky and the fiery red road in front of me. Zheng Tianbao said: "People sometimes come to this point, they will feel regret, regret that they didn't do it at the beginning, junior brother, let's go, the road ahead is more difficult, we must be careful everywhere." If you look at these people around you, they are all reminiscing about the things they did in their lives. ”
After I listened, I looked around, and they were all crying in low voices, and I felt that I had to hurry away, this place could not stay too long, otherwise it would be easy to make myself miserable. I stubbornly walked forward with Zheng Tianbao, walking and walking suddenly there was an extra pass, only to see this pass standing in the dim world, showing very majesty, the pass is a strict barrier, the copper wall is ironclad, unbreakable, there is a plaque at the entrance of the city, the plaque is three vigorous big characters "Ghost Gate Pass", this checkpoint, more majestic and steep than Shanhaiguan, faintly not very clear.
At this time, Zheng Tianbao said: "Senior brother, we are at the Ghost Gate, the Ghost Gate Pass is the last pass to guard the yang and the underworld, after this pass, you will arrive at Huangquan Road, there is no inn on Huangquan Road, so no matter how difficult it is, you have to go on, and it is even more difficult to die in life." ”
I nodded, and Zheng Tianbao said: "Senior brother, you can't be afraid when you go to the ghost gate, if you are afraid, there will be a flaw, and when those yaksha guarding the door find out that we are impersonating, they will use the ghost fork and put it in the oil pan to fry." ”
I nodded and said I knew, after Zheng Tianbao finished explaining, he led me to continue to walk forward, this ghost gate, as if standing on the mountain, but there is no shadow of the mountain around, only a road leads there, and it is far away from the ghost gate, I heard the desolate shout, look forward, it is very shocking, I saw those yaksha guarding the ghost gate, one by one fierce and vicious, holding three ghost forks in their hands, tall figures, some of them are there to check the road, from time to time there will be yakshas, with three ghost forks, The ghosts were still in the oil pot, and the ghosts let out a terrible wail.
I followed Zheng Tianbao closely, and then came to the Ghost Gate Pass, where we were stopped, saying that we had the breath of a living person, not like a bad thing, Zheng Tianbao took out a few gold bills, and secretly stuffed them into the hands of those Yaksha ghost forks who were guarding the door, and we were directly released.
After passing the ghost gate, what is imprinted in front of you is complete desolation. I often hear people say that Huangquan Road is not easy to walk, and there are no people old and old on Huangquan Road. Indeed it is. Looking up on Huangquan Road, you can't see the sun, moon and stars, looking down, you can't see the dust of the land, looking forward, you can't see Yangguan Road, looking back, you can't see relatives and friends. Everyone walked forward one by one.
Some people will ask, when people die, aren't they all paper cows and paper horses to tie? Why don't you ride a cow or a horse forward? At this time, the soul of the dead cannot be called a ghost, and only when you enter the city can you be called a real ghost. Sometimes when you buy a life for people to grab their souls, they all rob their souls on this Huangquan Road, because they haven't entered the capital city yet, and everything is still going to turn around. In today's terms, Huangquan Road can be regarded as an accident-prone area. Anything can happen in this area.
The Huangquan Road left people with only pain, thinking of the feelings of the deceased relatives when they walked the Huangquan Road, but the descendants of the people could not be filial piety to see them off, and the corners of the eyes were filled with tears. The mood is extremely low, people go to Huangquan Road, and regret doing things late. The road to Huangquan is rugged and bumpy, some souls from all walks of life cry and refuse to go, some are full of rhetoric to please the Yin soldiers, and some are confused and go straight all the way, life is full of all kinds of things, only crying, pain, woodenness and sluggishness here, step by step forward, can not turn back.
People's sense of survival is the strongest, but how many people can return to their souls on this Huangquan Road? No matter how much the soul pleaded and tried all his best to escape, he couldn't break free from the chain of death in the hands of the Yin soldiers, and went all the way back. No matter how tired the soul is, the ghost will not let you rest and delay the trip, you must hurry out of this Huangquan Road as soon as possible, joke that there is no inn on Huangquan Road, no matter how much money there is in the Yangjian on Huangquan Road, it is also in vain, the destination is one place, the underworld --- the capital city.
