Chapter Ninety-Six: The Legendary Nai Ho Bridge
"If we blow up the mural, won't the spirit hunter appear, can we not break the seal, if we don't break the seal, then those things are a painting, I can destroy the painting."
"Even if the seal is lifted later, the contents of the mural will not come out."
"Then you should install explosives now, and then detonate them directly, in principle, it can be like this" Yan Wenbin's uncle also encountered such a problem for the first time.
"But it's too late," said Uncle Yan Wenbin, looking at Yan Wenbin.
The demoman also went under the last stone lion, and twisted the lion very smoothly, and the result was the same as Gang Wenbin expected, there was a monstrous fire on the stone bridge, and Gang Wenbin felt the scorching heat of the flames from a long distance, and the roasted Gang Wenbin's face was dry and cracked, and even his face began to peel.
"Xiaogang, don't worry about me, I'm back" Blasting grabbed the edge of the stone bridge, his body hung in the air and slowly moved forward, and only people with good physical fitness could do this, otherwise the others would have fallen into the river a long time ago.
"Xiaogang, if only I had a sip of ice water to drink, I'm so thirsty," said the Demoman, sitting on the ground in prostration.
"You can't drink water, you can only drink blood, water belongs to yin, hellfire is also yin fire, now you are already yin fire into the body, if you can drink alcohol to relieve it, use wine instead, otherwise you can only drink blood."
"The black dog's blood is yang, which happens to be the nemesis of hellfire, and there is a little more, just enough for you to drink," said Yan Wenbin's uncle.
"Did you think someone was pulling your leg just now, and someone was on your back," said Yan Wenbin's uncle.
"Someone was pulling my leg under the bridge, and there was someone on my back, dead or alive, and you see, I still have bloody handprints on my shoulder," said the Demoman, looking at the bloody handprints on either side of his shoulder.
"This bridge is called Nai He Bridge, and below it is the Lethe River."
"Legend has it that the Lechuan River is full of water ghosts, and when they see someone about to fall, they will pull out the person who is about to fall, but fortunately you didn't listen to Xiaogang, otherwise you wouldn't be able to go ashore."
With a wave of his hand, Yan Wenbin's uncle changed in front of their eyes, and there were countless scenes of people struggling on the water under the bridge, and there was a stone tablet next to the bridge, on which the words "Nai He Bridge" were written.
In Chinese Taoism and Chinese folk mythology, the bridge is a place to send people to reincarnation, where there will be an elderly female deity named Meng Po, who will give each ghost a bowl of Meng Po soup, so that people can forget the memories of their past lives and be reincarnated in the next life.
The fourth volume of the "Xuanmur Chronicles" has a record of this: "Traveling more than ten miles, to a water, not a few feet wide, flowing to the southwest, observing Xi, Xi said: 'This is the so-called Nai River, and its source comes from the prefecture'. The water is bloody, and the filth is not approachable. "
Because there is a bridge on the river, it is called "Naihe Bridge", the bridge is narrow and smooth, and there are day and night travel gods to guard day and night. The blood river under the bridge is full of insects and snakes, the waves are rolling, and the fishy wind is blowing. The ghosts of the wicked fell into the river.
In Chinese folklore: after death, the soul must cross the Nai River Bridge, the good have the protection of the gods and Buddhas to cross the bridge smoothly, and the evil are beaten into the blood river pool to suffer.
This is described in detail in the book "Investigation of Religious Customs in Xudu": "...... The bridge is divided into three layers (or three), the ghosts of the good can safely pass through the upper bridge, the good and the evil cross the middle bridge, and the ghosts of the wicked cross the lower bridge, and are mostly stopped by the ghosts into the dirty waves under the bridge, and are bitten by copper snakes and iron dogs.
Every year, during the incense festival, pilgrims compete to throw paper money or copper plates into the pool, and sprinkle fried rice into the pool, thinking that they can give it to hungry ghosts. Many elderly pilgrims like to walk from above, thinking that if they walk across this bridge, they can avoid the pain of crossing the Nai River Bridge after death.
It can be seen that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, some good men and women went to the bridge to burn incense and paper, and gave money and goods to the piety, only hoping that the Buddha could protect the Nai River Bridge after death!
"Xiao Gang, I won't be thirsty for black dog blood, I'll just endure it, it's easy to delay things when drinking, I don't have a bloodthirsty habit of drinking blood, I'm also afraid of the smell of blood", after the Demoman finished speaking, he wanted to swallow the saliva in his mouth and moisten his throat, but at this moment his throat was already dry and smoking.
"You can't swallow your saliva, or you swallow the fire into your body, and the hellfire will start to burn from your body, so that you can't survive, you can't die, and finally the fire starts to burn out from your body, and the end is to turn to ashes."
"You spit and see what happens" Yan Wenbin's uncle is a Taoist priest and knows a lot of things.
Sure enough, as soon as the Demoman spat the water in his mouth on the ground, the saliva he spat turned into a burning fireball, and he was glad that he didn't swallow the saliva just now, otherwise he would have become a burning man by now.
"Then I'll take a sip, if I can't help it you'll knock me out, I can't drink right now", the Demoman fears that he will not be able to stand it, and drinks a bottle of wine in one go, when the time comes, he will get drunk and lose time.
"I watched you drink, just do it appropriately, you can't wronged yourself." After the Demoman finished drinking, Gang Wenbin looked at the flames burning on the stone bridge.
Suddenly, Gang Wenbin saw the flames on the stone bridge slowly gathering, and finally became a fire beast squatting on the stone bridge, looking at Gang Wenbin with bright eyes.
Before Yan Wenbin could start to act, the fire beast opened its bloody mouth and sprayed flames at Yan Wenbin, and at the same time, a flame shot out of the fire beast's eyes, wanting to burn everyone to death.
The overwhelming flames struck Gang Wenbin and them, and Gang Wenbin stood at the front, about to be overwhelmed by the flames that erupted from him.
Yan Wenbin's uncle suddenly stepped forward and lit it with a Tiangang Earth Evil Charm, and the water spell formed a water net in front of Yan Wenbin, blocking the flames in front of Yan Wenbin.
"Looking for death", I don't know where such a voice came from, Yan Wenbin saw a black mist rushing in front of him, and finally landed on the body of the fire beast.
The black mist slowly atomized, forming a person with the head of a snake body, the face of this person is divided into male and female phases, half of which is male, half of which is female, with long hair, holding the sun in one hand, and a golden crow in the sun swims in the fireball, as if it can fly out of the sun at any time.
Holding the moon in one hand, there is a toad in the moon, seeing such a monster, Tong Wenbin They don't know who this person is.
Before the other party could attack, Yan Wenbin's uncle slapped the other party with five thunder palms.
But the other party waved his hand, and a pattern appeared in front of their eyes, full of golden words.
The golden text is "the east of Penglai, the mountain of Daiyu, there is a tree of Fusang, the tree is ten thousand feet high, and there is a chicken in the tree, which is the nest on it." Every night solstice, the rooster crows, and the sun bird responds to it in the middle of the day; When the birds sing, the chickens in the world are singing.
The pattern is two intertwined Fuso sacred trees, and in front of the sacred tree sits a woman with a leopard head.
This woman is the legendary Queen Mother of the West, nine three-legged black birds dwelling next to the seat of the Queen Mother of the West, and the Queen Mother of the West feeds for her birds, and everyone is frightened to retreat when they see these scenes.
According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and other ancient books, the ten days in ancient Chinese sun myths and legends are the sons of Emperor Jun and Xihe, who have the characteristics of both humans and gods, and are the incarnation of the golden crow, which is a three-legged crow and a flying sun god bird.
For example, in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the South", there is "Xihe, the wife of Emperor Jun, born for ten days";
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas East Longitude" says, "There is Fusang in the Tang Valley, and the ten-day bath is in the north of the black tooth." Dwelling in the water, there are big trees, nine days in the lower branches, one day in the upper branches, one day to the party, one day out of the party, all contained in the Wu "every morning take turns from the east Fuso sacred tree rises, turns into a golden crow or the sun god bird flies from east to west in the universe, and at night it falls on the western Wakaki sacred tree."
"Uncle, this person is the divine servant who helped Dijun and Xihe drive the sun god car, but I didn't expect that the mount of this divine servant is a cremated unicorn."
The fire beast that Gang Wenbin saw was not what it should be, perhaps to scare Gang Wenbin and them, this fire beast became hideous and terrifying.
Tong Wenbin and his uncle both used the Five Thunder Mantra, Yan Wenbin's Five Thunder Mantra is the ghost talisman of Kui Dao, and Uncle Yan Wenbin is the Taoist Bagua Array, and the two characters fall on the golden light portrait of the Queen Mother of the West sitting on the sacred tree Fusang, and the barrier is immediately shattered.
"I didn't expect the two Demon Lords of the Troubled Times to gather together," said the divine servant, looking at Yan Wenbin and Yan Wenbin's uncle.
"When are you going to get this thing", said Gang Wenbin's uncle, looking at Gang Wenbin.
"Uncle, didn't you draw it in the palm of my hand? I didn't know what was going on just now, it seemed that someone controlled my body and asked me to slap it out, I could only do what that person wanted, I didn't expect such a scene to happen."
"I wish to settle the world with benevolence and righteousness, but wash the sky with killing, there is no way, you are also one of the three thousand demon gods, today you will either die or I will die."
"But the possibility of your death is relatively high", Yan Wenbin slapped the fire beast to death with a palm after speaking, and left a ban around, if the fire beast gathers and forms again, it will definitely be destroyed by the Nine Heavens Ying Thunder.
The servant looked at his mount, and was slapped back to its original form by Yan Wenbin, and looked at Yan Wenbin very angrily, eager to cramp and skin all the enemies in front of him.
The divine servant suddenly enlarged the sun and moon he was holding in his hand, enveloping the Divine Servant in it, and the two of Gang Wenbin and Gang Wenbin's uncle formed a Taiji diagram together to compete with the Divine Servant.
"Uncle, I'm here to take the Soul Destroying Nail to destroy the three flowers on the top of the divine servant, so that he can't use divine power, as long as the divine servant can't use divine power, then he is the same as the drought we encountered, we can use our physical body to fight him."
Uncle Yan Wenbin took out seven charms and immediately burst into flames, and Yan Wenbin saw seven of his uncles appear in front of him, all of them in different positions, but Yan Wenbin had already seen that his uncle had appeared behind the divine servant.
But Yan Wenbin's uncle did not use the Soul Destroying Nail, but drew a five thunder spell on the palm of his hand, separated his five fingers, and slapped it on the head of the divine servant at once.
The head of the divine servant was slapped, and Yan Wenbin saw that the sun and the moon in the hands of the divine servant disappeared, and then the limbs and arms appeared on the divine servant's body, as if the monster was about to transform.
However, the divine servant is still a human head and a snake body, and the head is divided into two, with a man on the left and a woman on the right, both wearing long hair, but with the advantage of the snake body, the upper body can be three meters high from the ground.
"What's the difference between you and us now, you are also a mortal in the flesh, but we can still use the Five Thunder Spell, what can you use."
Uncle Yan Wenbin took out the peachwood sword and kicked it out, and the peachwood sword split the body of the servant in two, completely cutting off the body of the servant.
Yan Wenbin felt very disgusting when he watched half of the snake's body writhing on the ground, and then lined the snake's body into a meat puree with one palm.
