Chapter 84: The Sea of Lethe Flowers
If Mei Tian walked along the avenue alone, he would not attract the attention of others, and the first seven who followed him was really suspicious, the direction they were going was the road to the city of vain death, and almost no one went there with an expectant expression, the two of them seemed to be a pair of lovers traveling in Xudu, but they didn't think much about it when they saw Mei Tian hanging a dementor bell around his waist, after all, there were no nosy people who were nosy, they patrolled their duties, and guarded their duties.
After coming out of the city, they encountered another problem, how to find such a place, which could be encountered along the Lechuan River, but if they only relied on the foot, they didn't know when they would be able to reach it, and now he had no spiritual power, even if he was given a dead car, he couldn't drive it, so in order not to discourage his interest, he walked on foot, and if he couldn't hold on, he could only stop there.
There is no spiritual power in the body for a few days in a row, not only can he live a good life in the netherworld, but the dragon soul ring does not mean to fall off, this is very strange to him, it not only inhibits the yin and yang head grass, but also does not need spiritual power to maintain his own survival, is it possible that this head grass has other effects, but it allows him to not limit the yellow spring qi of the netherworld, and he does not need to go to the world to collect yang energy, if this is the case, it is okay, but he can't go to the world, he will have a lot of things that he can't accomplish.
It's useless to think about this, just like Erniang said, if you want to regain your previous freedom, you can only wait for the seventh master to come back.
Walking on Huangquan Road with the seventh day of the same month is still incompatible, she is dressed in Erniang's favorite Hanfu, the wind blows the skirt fluttering, and the cuffs are wrapped like a beautiful picture, but Mei Tian is wearing a knee-covering windbreaker, dressed in black, the picture is completely different, but this picture has never been, two people of different generations, walking in the ethereal world, love is not allowed here.
After walking for a while, perhaps because her body had not yet recovered, Mei Tian felt that her chest was dull and it was difficult to breathe, so she had to sit on the ground to rest, drink water to quench her thirst, and the caring Chu Qi prepared everything she could think of, in order to be afraid of Mei Tian's physical discomfort on the road, so she was prepared.
When they closed their eyes and recuperated, they seemed to hear the neighing of horses not far from them, and after a few sounds, they dared to confirm that there were indeed horses nearby. It is said that before there was no other means of transportation out, horses were used to travel in the netherworld, and then the convenience of the dark car appeared, the yin horse was ignored, and most of them became ornamental horse breeding, all said that there was a place to breed the yin horse, but Meitian had never seen it, their value was higher than the dark car, precious and rare, and no one even traded the yin horse in the ghost market.
As soon as she thought of this, Mei Tian wanted to see the appearance of Yin Horses, how different from the horses in the world, they were also a rare existence.
Came to the stable, but saw that the vast and boundless Yellow Spring actually wants such a vast and boundless place to raise horses, endlessly built countless horses Peng, the horses are galloping here happily and freely, the yin horses are black and bright, except for the eyes are cautious red other horses that are no different from the world, the mane is scattered like a black silk draped in a body, all of them are well-proportioned, smooth as if they have been oiled, and the majestic is very good-looking. It is that each of them is intimidating and does not dare to approach, they are not born to be ridden, but as fierce as lions and tigers.
Although it is not easy to see them, I want to ride a horse on the Huangquan Road not only saves my legs, but also can enjoy the scenery majestically, maybe men have been like this since ancient times, as if now they see the joy of a good car, Mei Tian is the same, compared to the car, he is more like having a horse like this, more manly and heroic.
The joy in his heart made him involuntarily step away, but he was stopped, he used a horse pole to block Mei Tian from entering the stable, and examined him, looking at his dress and the long pole he was holding, it was undoubtedly a stableman. But the other party can't see Mei Tian's origin, not to mention how he came here, even if there are ghosts passing by, there are no good people to stay here, in addition to those who love horses, who can come here in exchange for the opportunity to ride horses, they are people of noble rank such as the Ten Palaces Yama, and then look at the two soul bells hanging from his waist, he has never seen a person with two soul bells hanging here, and there are beautiful people as companions, so that he can't imagine who has such ability.
Out of politeness, he asked, "Who's coming?" ”
"Passing by, there is a neighing sound of horses, so I want to see the style, and I hope that my brother will forgive me." I don't know the truth, but I'm afraid of messing up the harmony of the netherworld, so I go out of the house and tell the truth.
"Passing by? That is, there is no edict and permission, so I can't let you break in, so let's leave quickly. When the stableman heard what he meant, it was nothing more than a promiscuous offspring, so he was not allowed to step further.
"Hand oracle? Could it be that if I want to ride a horse, I have to ask for instructions? Mei Tian asked, wondering what kind of rules he wanted to ride.
"Do you know this is a yin horse? Ordinary people can't ride a yin horse, and if you are injured because of this, I can't explain it. The horse herd looked at Mei Tian's thin body, the appearance of the newcomer, he must not have ridden a horse, which made them unhappy, and he would really bite people, and even swallow his soul violently.
"Do everyone who wants to ride a horse need to ask for instructions, or a handwritten message, because they are yin horses, I want to touch them." He felt that what the horse herd said was also reasonable, but he thought that the order of Huangquan was against inequality, and it was impossible for there to be noble and lowly people here who discriminated against others.
"Of course, it's not impossible to want to ride, but you need to pay a lot of merit, which you can't afford to pay for the second spirit ghost." It's not that the horse herd looks down on people, but it's true, there is almost no one who doesn't feel sorry for their merits, especially the two spirits and ghosts, and instead of spending on this, it is better to save the merits and use them elsewhere.
Maybe this is unintentional, but it is particularly harsh in Mei Tian's ears, the times are different, the people in the past saved because what they had may not be common, the era in which he lived was the age of profligacy, how many people who were similar to his age spent their hard-earned wages overnight for the pleasure of a moment, compared to such a month's inferior life, in exchange for a day's vanity, came happily.
"How do you know I can't afford it?"
Seeing the confident expression, the stableman also told him truthfully: "A good day." ”
After listening to him, Mei Tian was silent, but he didn't expect that the unit of goodness was calculated here, why is the concept of goodness, and the currency can't be calculated, if you have to come by value, a good is equal to 100,000 in the world, and a good can be exchanged for a lot of things, and the lowest unit in the general ghost market is to be good as low.
Merit is based on this unit, Tao, virtue, goodness, merit, and gain, together for ten virtues, ten virtues for one hundred virtues, one hundred virtues for a thousand merits, a thousand merits for ten thousands, the lives of a hundred people saved are one, and ten lives are one virtue. That is to say, saving one person can be exchanged for riding a yin horse for a day, this value is expensive, the most difference between their two spirits and ghosts is to extradite the soul, a soul is only a merit, and it can only be exchanged for a good thing ten times.
But now that the words have been spoken, he is going to ride once, so he will pay a kindness, but he can only get seven or eight points of self-esteem, and he has not even done a single job, and he has not even done anything about it, and he has not yet carried out his duties. Chu Qi also saw that she was also ashamed, and as Erniang's personal attendant, she didn't need to use merit, and Erniang helped them save all of it, so she couldn't afford it. can only look outside, the stableman is right, it is true that the two spirit ghosts are reluctant to spend merit to experience a chance to ride a yin horse.
I had no choice but to leave with regrets, looking at Mei Tian's stunned appearance, the seventh day of the first month couldn't help but be lost for him, thinking about how to make Mei Tian not disappointed, pulling the stables aside, willing to exchange them with three altars of 100 days of drunkenness, so that the stables can actually pay first, and then exchange for three altars, and one good can't redeem two altars.
For the hundred days of drunkenness will be all the underworld will be remembered, the feeling of drinking it is intoxicating, the horse herd can drink at most two jars a year is satisfied, in the face of such a temptation, he hesitated.
Seeing the two of them whispering, how could Mei Tian let Chu Qihu come, if this matter was to let Erniang know that punishment was indispensable, Ma Niang was moved, but in the face of the prestige of the underworld, he couldn't convince himself, not to mention that the two of them were of unknown origin, he chose to obey the law.
Unable to accommodate, he could only choose to leave, at this time a yin horse came to him, shaking his head dejectedly, unlike in the stable, his mane was not so black, but pale and white, and his body was not as strong as theirs, like a dying old horse.
Walked up to Mei Tian, spotted him, stared at him with reddish eyes, maybe a little old when he saw other things and took a moment to recognize, after two turns around him, he lowered his head and walked towards the stable, as if nothing had happened.
Yin horses have their own spirituality, and they also have unique spiritual power to maintain themselves, but they don't understand human language, so this kind of behavior makes Mei Tian even more interested, it can be seen that these old Yin horses seem to be looking for something, so they turn back to ask the horse herd what is going on.
The stables told him that this was an old horse, and it was very likely that its spiritual power would not last long, and that the Yin Horses were different from humans, and they would completely disappear in the Netherworld without their spiritual power. It is rumored that the underworld is turbulent, and there will always be evil demons and demons, so everyone in the underworld will have their own exclusive mount to fight, and the Yin Horse is the most basic, it can be said that every Hades who can fight has their own Yin Horse, from when they have spiritual power, they can use spiritual power to generate a horse, and hand it over to the stables to raise, and when it can embark on the journey, it will be handed over to its owner.
Now that there is no war in the underworld, all the underworld does not need the Yin horse as a mount, there is a more convenient means of transportation, the Yin horse is forgotten here, handed over to the care of the stable, most of the Yin horses have been renewed and replaced, few of the underworld are willing to spend energy to give birth to a Yin horse, and they can't run at will in the underworld, and their life range can only be on this road.
There are only a dozen or so stables who take care of here, all of whom voluntarily apply for hobbies to be bred in captivity, and the spiritual power that the stables can accumulate is used to give birth to yin horses, and there is almost no enough ability to become other positions, but those who are willing to come to be stables are passionate about raising horses.
