Chapter 107: No Return to Hotaru
The corpses in the dark river were quiet, and I was sure that they would not get up again, so I put my sword down and lifted my clothes to get the maggots down!
Damn, it's disgusting!
Looking at the white maggot that fell to the ground with a long tail, it was so bad to even step on it, so he grabbed his sword and took a few steps back to the side.
ยท
Lazily sitting cross-legged on the shore waiting for Brother Fengyu to come over, the Yin Ying Sword was placed on his lap, and his hands were folded around his chest looking at the colorful fluorescent light floating in the air.
They're not magical effects, they're not a special species, they're just fireflies.
At first, I couldn't make out the numbers, but when the little green dots flew past me, there was nothing uncertain.
They are fireflies.
Fireflies, also known as luminous, sedum, glittering, nightlight, flowing fireflies, night candles, dazzling nights, etc., belong to the Coleoptera firefly family, is a small beetle, because its tail can fluoresce, so it is called firefly. According to statistics, there are more than 2,000 species of fireflies found in the world, and they are divided into two categories: aquatic and terrestrial.
As for the fireflies in front of you, they should not be within the scope of the firefly family.
It is rumored that there is a kind of firefly that can change color by the Lechuan River in the netherworld, which can confuse the reincarnated people who are not determined to strayed into the Lethe River, unable to cross the Nahe Bridge, and finally become a lonely ghost in the Lethe River. And that kind of hallucinogenic firefly is called Yin Candle, Ghost Firefly, Non-Return Fire, and Non-Return Firefly.
So, is this the legendary Hotaru who does not return?
Raise your hand to catch the fireflies that have been pale white, and the moment they fall to your fingertips, the tail light immediately turns pale blue again, and then gradually turns yellowish purple......
Staring at its tail light, I couldn't help but fall into a trance. In other words, is there really a past and present life in this world? Is there a Lechuan River, a Nai He Bridge, a Sansheng Stone, and a Meng Po Soup?
If reincarnation is real, then what the hell is evolution? Isn't it contradictory that the reincarnation should be reciprocated, and the lights go out when people die?
Trembling, he startled the fireflies in his hand away, and looked down at the delicate lines of the Yin Netherworld Sword on his legs. Raise your hand and stroke along the sword pattern.
If people can be reincarnated, then the silver, you and I are the ones chosen by fate, why not the people who are abandoned by fate? Immortality, immortality, reincarnation, death, i.e., extinction, not beginning.
No one wants to live in endless time, watching the people they love and care about grow old and leave one by one, and no one wants to give up the opportunity to reincarnate and start from scratch.
But luckily, at least we're never alone.
Taking a deep breath, he put aside the clutter in his head and jumped up from the ground and looked down at the dark river.
No matter what the future holds, at least now we have each other, and we see the people we care about safe, healthy, and lonely for a long time, so what's the point?
The fireflies are mottled, and the dark river is silent.
White Bone Village will be my first battle as the Netherworld!
The corpse raising clan calmly glanced around the dark river, it seems that this is a design that deliberately imitates the reincarnation circuit of the ghost gate in the netherworld, and the Lechuan River, Nai He Bridge, and Firefly of No Return have all appeared, and now only Sansheng Stone and Meng Po Tang are left, and I don't know where they are. I just don't know, whether they will do the whole show, whether there are ferrymen.
However, the ferryman is much more mysterious than the Nahe Bridge. However, the bridge, as long as there is a reincarnation list, people can go, and the ferryman only crosses the obsessive ghosts. The ferryman sends the ghost to cross the Lechuan River, and before crossing the river, he has to drink the Lethe River water at the tea stall on the bank.
"......" Anyway, I haven't seen it, and I feel that everything is true and everything is fake.
The corners of his mouth twitched, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, completely closed his brain, and threw out the mess in his head.
looked at Brother Fengyu who had already walked to him, and raised his hand to help him jump off the chain.
"You ......" He looked at me deeply, swallowed the words that came to his lips, his eyes fell, staring at the crook of my injured foot before, "Is your injury okay?" โ
Don't say, don't ask, I haven't paid attention to it before. Helping him to stand firmly, I bent down to touch the wound on my foot, and it seemed that the pain in my foot disappeared from the time I encountered the ghost mirror.
Pinch on the wound and feel nothing. Looking up, I saw that Brother Fengyu was looking nervously at my wound, hesitated, and I simply untied the bandage on my foot-
Seeing the wound before, I was stunned at the same time as Brother Fengyu.
Obviously, a piece of the flesh on his feet has been lost, not to mention that the bones are visible, but that hideous appearance is definitely not the uninjured situation in front of him.
I touched the wound that had been healed blankly, and subconsciously looked at the Yin Sword in my hand, although I didn't know what was happening, I always felt that it had something to do with it.
โโฆโฆ It's okay. "Brother Fengyu looked at me with a complicated expression that was indescribable. Moving his lips to explain, he spoke before me, "It seems that I am too limited, after all, people learn to grow up." Okay, now that you're here, what are you going to do next? Keep walking or go back? โ
Get back? Of course, it's impossible to go back, it's hard to get through the dark river, nine deaths, do you have to go back nine deaths? Who knows if there will be something more terrible waiting for us when we cross the dark river again?
What's more, they have all come here, and they have returned in vain, isn't it too cost-effective?
"Let's go ahead and take a look, there must be more than one exit here." Throwing away the bandages, I looked over the riverbank.
More than ten meters away from the river bank, there is a staircase, the river bank has no end to both sides, the stairs lead to the rock wall facing inward, and I don't know the end.
"That's it." I pointed to the stairs and walked with my feet up.
There are no permanent lights on this riverbank, and the lighting is all fireflies. In this dreamlike beauty, no one is in the mood to appreciate it.
The steps are covered with moss and slippery, and if you accidentally slide down, you will surely roll into the dark river.
The steps are not narrow, more than enough for two people.
In order to prevent slipping, he will climb the stairs with a sharp weapon in his hand with every step. The weirdest thing is that no matter whether the sharp weapon pierces the ladder or not, the place where the sharp weapon touches it will flow out of bright blood, which makes people's hearts numb.
Before, the Yin Netherworld Sword could easily leave cracks on the jade rock, but it couldn't move the stairs under its feet in the slightest.
So, what the hell is this? A stone capable of bleeding?
Unknown fear haunted me, and I raised my sword and deliberately slashed down the stairs, leaving nothing but sparks flying and blood flying. The blood on his face was sprayed, and a little bit of it was soaked into the lips that were not tightened, and a faint fishy smell spread on the tip of the tongue.
It's blood, and it's very fresh blood, it's just not condensed.
His face darkened, and he reached out and wiped his face fiercely before continuing to walk down the stairs.
