Chapter 59: Meng Po in Red
"I'm me, I'm going to take you there." The devil stepped forward.
Bian Nuan looked at the ghost, and then looked at the underworld. There seems to be no other candidate.
The demon looked at the Styx: "I'll send her." He said that, but his eyes were discussing the meaning of asking for consent.
Styx didn't say anything, and nodded.
Without hesitation, Bian Nuan followed the ghost and walked towards the Nai He Bridge.
After walking a distance, the ghost approached Bian Nuan and whispered, "That guy can't go up to the Nai He Bridge, someone will stop him." Ha ha. ”
"He's not from the underworld, isn't it normal that he can't go up the Nai He Bridge."
"No, no, no, the prefecture doesn't stipulate that outsiders can't cross the Nai He Bridge, anyone else can, but he can't, guess why?"
Bian Nuan was not interested in wanting to know, so he didn't follow the ghostly meaning to ask, but only asked: "Cross the Nai He Bridge and drink Meng Po soup, is Meng Po waiting at the end of the bridge?" ”
As she spoke, she stepped onto the Nai He Bridge.
I saw that between her feet, a blood-red footprint was left on the bluestone slab, and then the red footprint emitted a crimson light and spread out in all directions.
Suddenly, a strong wind swirled under his feet, and the objects in front of him changed instantaneously.
The souls of the creatures who lined up in a long line on the bridge to report to the underworld were gone, and the ghosts running back and forth were also gone, and the bridge was empty. The bridge deck was changed from one zhang wide to two zhang wide. The originally gloomy scene suddenly became brighter, and his eyes were full of red light.
didn't wait for Bian Nuan to react to what was happening, only to hear a "poof" sound next to him.
When Bian Nuan looked sideways, he saw countless red lanterns lit one after another on both sides of the bridge.
The lanterns could not see the shadow of the candle flame, but the whole body glowed red, and the red light illuminated the entire bridge deck.
Looking at the bridge again, the black, bottomless, and smelly Lechuan River is not the original appearance at all.
Although the river was still dark and dreary, there was no rising stench and black gas on it, and the light of red lanterns was reflected on the surface of the water, which was shining.
Looking at the riverbank again, there are leafless red flowers blooming, stretching for thousands of miles, and there is no end in sight.
Bian Nuan suddenly felt an unbearable tingling pain in his heart. The stinging came suddenly, without warning. She covered her heart, squatted down, the stinging pain had not passed, and she felt a thousand ghost hands tearing on her body, and she was in pain for a while, unable to hold on, and fell to the ground.
A voice came from afar: "You're late." ”
Bian Nuan struggled to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw an old woman in red walking across the bridge. But the voice that had just spoken was clearly a young woman.
"Who are you? Are you talking to me? Bian Nuan asked with a strong consciousness.
As the old woman drew nearer, she slowly changed her appearance, her red dress became purple, and her old face became that of a young girl.
Bian Nuan's eyes widened.
It was clearly her own face.
The next moment, Bian Nuan only felt a buzzing in his ears, and he didn't know what was screaming, but he felt that it was extremely chaotic and noisy.
She covered her ears, and the sound was still ringing in her ears.
There was no tearing pain on his body, his head was about to explode, and Bian Nuan almost collapsed.
As he struggled and rolled, he grabbed a hand in the confusion, which was soft and warm.
Bian Nuan opened her eyes, the vision was blurry, and a figure leaned over to look at her in a trance.
"Help me, it's so uncomfortable......"
She begged with difficulty, but the man shook off her hand.
The foreground became clear, and Bian Nuan could see the man's face clearly, a very good-looking girl. The girl's eyebrows are a little cinnabar red, and her pupils are red, with a kind of ghostly temptation.
"Do you remember that face?" The girl asked.
Bian Nuan was in a trance: "Who are you?" ”
The girl sighed: "You should not forget that she has harmed you so far." ”
Bian Nuan asked tremblingly, "Who is she?" ”
The girl said: "The person who pushed you off Lethe, destroyed your immortal body, and cut off your reincarnation." ”
With a bang, something in his mind broke, and the memory sealed in the depths of his mind was unsealed, drowning Bian Nuan in an instant like a tide.
For a while, she stood on the top of the clouds in a trance, and there were two figures in front of her, a man and a woman. The man is dressed in white, the woman is also dressed in white, and the man holds the woman in his arms and walks forward slowly, so intimately.
After a while she stood again in a tall and splendid palace, so large that it was almost impossible to see the borders, and this time there stood a man in fine clothes in front of her. The man in fancy clothes slowly turned to her, he was a very good-looking man, but his eyes were extremely cold and serious. The man said to her, "You are not fit here, go and go to the Nether to be a mortal and live freely." ”
After a while, she came to a river bank again, and the water in front of her was strange and glowing golden. She turned, and behind her stood a man in white, this time the woman in white she had seen above the clouds.
The woman approached her step by step, saying, "You shouldn't exist in this world, die, disappear into the Three Realms ......", and suddenly, the woman reached out to her and pushed her violently into the strange river.
It's really a strange river, after she fell into the river, she didn't feel suffocated by the river, but kept falling, and when she thought it would always fall endlessly, her body fell into the water, and then the pain of the skin and flesh being torn and gnawed.
First the hair, then the skin, inch by inch, there is no place on the body that escapes the pain of being torn and bitten.
I can't count how many demons have haunted her, tore her flesh and skin, and began to gnaw at her bones again. The immortal body is destroyed, it is not enough, but also to compete for her primordial god.
The river was full of her blood, and her torn flesh floated all over the water. As cruel as you want, you can be as cruel as you want.
The woman in white looked down on her from the sky, laughing softly, laughing so proudly, but she didn't feel enough, and laughed at her, saying that the evil spirits did not want to eat her skin and flesh, and the evil ghosts thought that her skin was not fragrant, and the blood was not good to drink.
Bian Nuan trembled angrily, but she sadly found that she had no body, just a thin soul that could be dispersed with the wind as soon as a wisp of wind blew, but she could clearly feel the pain of being torn and bitten.
The girl raised a hand and caressed it on Bian Nuan's soul, and Bian Nuan felt something be pulled out of her soul.
When I came back to my senses, it was a bead the size of a soybean with a shimmering glow.
The girl changed her appearance again, this time back to red, but her face did not change back to the old woman's appearance, but changed to another, more beautiful, unpleasant face.
Bian Nuan remembered that the woman in red in front of him was Meng Po.
"Mother-in-law."
Meng Po glanced at Bian Nuan lightly, and slowly said: "Remembered everything?" ”
"Hmm." Bian Nuan lowered her head.
Meng Po said: "You are sober, but my reputation is going to be ruined." ”
Bian Nuan was puzzled and raised his head: "Mother-in-law, do you say that?" ”
Meng Po stroked the soybean-sized beads in her hand and said slowly: "Everyone in the world knows that when you cross my bridge, you will drink my soup, and after drinking my soup, I don't remember the past." But now, when you drink my soup, instead of forgetting the past, you remember everything. Say, 'Is my reputation going bad?' ”
