The moon is dark and the wind is high, the majestic mountain shadows reveal a strange atmosphere in the deep silence of the night, and occasionally a few mournful crows chirping, which makes the depressing wind forest even more solemn.

Halfway through the long night, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the distance, mixed in the noisy figures, and the dotted torches were like dancing man-eating fire snakes, reflecting half of the mountains and forests with a crimson light.

"In front, in front!"

Hearing the voice, the brigade of people and horses swarmed forward, a man and a woman were forced to the edge of the cliff in the boiling chaos, the situation was critical, the abyss in front was huge, the rear was pressing step by step, the air seemed to be condensed into ice, only the fierce wind was whistling, filled with unwillingness and resentment.

The man wore a white robe and hemp shoes, trying his best to protect the woman behind him. The woman was dressed in a biluo gauze skirt, with an emerald hairpin on her head, and although the two were a little nervous and anxious, their expressions did not show the slightest embarrassment.

A big man in the shape of a leader walked out of the team, waved forward to the man, and said: "Please also ask the champion to forgive the sin, Lord Shangshu has instructed, as long as you are willing to go back and marry our young lady, this government will no longer pursue Miss Chen's matter." ”

"What if I don't want to" The man dusted off his body and looked straight at the leading guard, his eyes showing determination and determination.

The leading guard smiled "hehe", "Master Zhuangyuan, don't toast and don't eat and drink, Lord Shangshu's Chenglong fast son-in-law doesn't know how many people dream of it, why can't you get along with your own good future?" With that, his eyes were fixed on the woman in green.

"Shut up!" The man cut off the guard's words and said loudly: "I, Li Ran, am originally from the mountains and wilderness, coarse tea and light rice are enough, and I have already made a marriage contract with Yue'er, how can I imitate Chen Shimei and others for Qu Qu's fame!" If Lord Shangshu had to be strong, he would have to return to the field, and he would be willing to be a pair of mountain riba people with Yue'er! ”

"Hahaha" The leading guard looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, "Master Zhuangyuan, you are too naïve, you have disobeyed Lord Shangshu, do you think you can still live freely?" ”

"So what?! In this life and this life, I just need to be with Yue'er! ”

"Li Ran!" The woman called "Yue'er" suddenly spoke, her clear blue eyes full of emotion, grief and despair, "I understand your intentions, and I am satisfied to meet you in this life." Now that creation makes people, you and I have been tossing and turning several times, but we can't grow old after all. ”

Two lines of tears slowly fell from Chen Yueer's face, looking at the sweetheart in front of her, laughing and playing when she was young, and the ignorance of her original intention when she was young is vivid, and then she came to run, and she was just a dream bubble, and fate pushed them into the uncontrollable abyss like a torrent, and it was impossible for them to be a peaceful couple.

"However, if a husband is like you, what more can a husband ask for!" , Chen Yue'er was silent for a while, and then she spoke without emotion and sigh, "Being your wife is the greatest blessing in my life, no matter how poor Biluo is, I will be with me to death from now on!" ”

"Good!" Li Ran was also moved, holding Chen Yue'er's hands tightly, the two looked at each other, as if they had made up their minds to each other.

"No more nonsense! Come on, take them all down for me! Seeing that the situation was not right, the leading guard hurriedly waved to the people around him, and the crowd around him surrounded him with torches.

"Don't ask to be born in the same year, same month, and same day"

"But I want to die on the same day, the same month, the same year"

The night was vast, and only the wind whimpered in the valley, as if the letter of a poisonous snake was enveloped in endless desolation and sorrow. Looking at each other, Li Ran and Chen Yue'er delivered their promises in each other's vows. They are motionless, like thousand-year-old ice sculptures, holy and majestic.

The two of them glanced back at the pressed men, smiled disdainfully, and then jumped off the cliff hand in hand.

"Master Zhuangyuan!" Everyone watched in amazement as the two fell from front of them, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and the leading guard was the first to react and shouted loudly, "Quick!" Help! "The crowd rushed up, the torches were gathered, and the whole hill was illuminated.

"There it is!" There was a burst of shouting in the crowd, and I saw that on the cliff more than ten meters away from the cliff, Li Ran was supported by a cypress tree that grew horizontally, and he had already passed out.

Everyone rescued him, and after a long time, Li Ran gradually woke up, and the leading guard stepped forward to support him, and sighed: "Hey, Master Zhuangyuan, you, why are you doing this!" Alas! ”

Li Ran raised his head, his eyes were confused, and he looked at the various people in front of him, as if he didn't know him at all. The towering trees around it reach into the clouds, and the ink-like branches and leaves are like ghosts dancing in the air, forcing people to suffocate.

The distant mountains are majestic, the empty soul is silent, Li Ran suddenly felt sad for some reason, looked at the leading guard and said hesitantly:

"Who are you? How did I end up here and who am I? ”

Waking up in the dark sound and seeing no trace of Li Ran, Chen Yue'er was confused, and suddenly felt a coolness that had never been felt before slowly coming from a distance, lingering all around.

Looking up, in the long empty valley, a bluestone road winds into the distance, there is no traction on the top, there is no landing below, and the blood-colored flowers blooming on the side of the road are indescribable, no soil and no mud, but it is free to bloom. Looking closely at the flower, there are no roots and leaves, and there is no wind to dance by itself, which is quite wonderful.

Chen Yue'er involuntarily moved forward, and found that she seemed to be as light as a swallow, and the floating road seemed to be shaking, but it seemed to be born with exquisite design, walking on it, as if she was one with it, without the slightest fear or hesitation. Go forward for a few miles, but see a towering cliff on the side of the road, the waterfall falls, but there is no splash, the white mist is steaming, like a dragon diving into the abyss, and the empty valley echoes. Chen Yue'er couldn't help but sigh that this place is unheard of and unseen.

Turning the cliff, the road under your feet has been lost, and the sky in front of you is vast, like a river flowing, but you can't see it really. Look at the river water, it is not as good as the usual waves, only glowing with earthy yellow and crimson red, rolling and whimpering. In the meantime, snakes and insects float, phantoms are confused, mixed with the slightest wail, very terrifying.

Chen Yue'er couldn't help but shrink in her heart, raised her eyes and looked around, and found that there was a bridge not far away that crossed the river, stretching straight to the other side, but she couldn't see the opposite scene. There is a grandmother by the bridge, who is scooping out bowls of tea soup from the tea jar next to her and placing them on the table in front of her. Someone came to the bridge intermittently, and the grandmother handed over a bowl of tea and soup, and after someone came to drink, she stepped on the bridge and walked away.

Chen Yue'er stared at it for a while, but she didn't see the grandmother's words. Passers-by don't know where they're coming from or where they're going. No one spoke to her, or no one even looked at her, Chen Yue'er felt as if she was pulled by karma, she couldn't get close, she couldn't leave, and she was about to turn away. Suddenly, I heard the grandmother speak: "Girl, there is no way back here, you can't go back"

Chen Yue'er listened to the march and looked at the voice, only to see that the grandmother turned her face slightly, her sleeves flicked lightly, and Hongmeng suddenly felt the wind and mist, rolling up the yellow leaves all over the sky, and couldn't help asking: "Are you talking to me?" ”

The grandmother didn't answer her, but said directly: "Girl, since you have come to the Lethe River, drink the soup of my old woman, forget everything, and be reincarnated!" ”

"What? You say this is, is it the Lethe River? So, I, am I already ......? ”

"That's right, you have already passed away, and you have arrived at the door of my netherworld," the grandmother said without raising her head, "Girl, the past life is over, and it is all in the past. You see the pedestrians coming and going, each hurrying to the next life. You're so hesitant that you're delaying your own future life."

"You, that Meng Po? Then this tea soup is the Meng Po soup that forgets the memory of the previous life? Chen Yue'er pointed to the bowl on the table and asked.

"You are right, if you want to be reincarnated as a human being, you must drink my tea soup, forget all the love, hatred, and hatred in this life, and after crossing this bridge, you will have no worries and enter the next reincarnation" Meng Po said, glanced at the stage, picked up one of the bowls and handed it to Chen Yue'er, "This soup is made from the collection and torment of all your tears in your previous life, drink it, all the troubles, sorrows, joys and sorrows, have disappeared without a trace in this drink."

"Then, what about Li Ran, didn't he jump off the cliff with me?"

"He didn't die, a cypress tree saved his life," Meng Po said calmly. "But he lost all his memories, including you"

"What do you say? Li Ran, he, he's not dead?! Chen Yue'er was filled with joy and sorrow for a while, grateful for God's favor, and the life of her beloved is still in the world, but Li Ran, who has no memory, is still the Li Ran who belongs to herself?

Seeing the bowl of amber tea soup handed to him, and Li Ran's past emerged one by one, the two of them in the green years, and the inseparability in the ups and downs, all of them were like fireworks in the sky, gorgeous and short-lived. And all this is now going to pass away, Li Ran, this name and his people will completely leave their bodies and minds, and even if they see each other in the next life, they will be strangers. Thinking of this, Chen Yueer couldn't cry anymore.

"Girl" Meng Po also sighed when she saw her like this, "People who come here, I have seen too many situations like you. After all, it is difficult to let go of the relationship in the past life, and I can't bear to let go. But girl, think about it, all the people in this world are actually passers-by, you see, husbands and wives, fathers and daughters, kings and ministers, sooner or later, will be separated, but only a few days earlier and a few days later. ”

Chen Yue'er raised her teary eyes and looked at Meng Po, only to hear her continue to say: "It is because sooner or later it will be dispersed, there is no need to extend the love entanglement in this life to the next life, the Emperor of Heaven ordered my old wife to prepare Meng Po soup here, so that people can drink and forget everything in their previous lives, reincarnate without worry, continue to meet different people, and live different days, this is called reincarnation." ”

"Meng Po, I understand what you said" Chen Yue'er burst into tears: "However, I have a deep affection for Li Ran, although I have not made a big gift, but I have long regarded him as a husband in my heart. Now, by mistake, I have come to this bridge, and I want to drink this Meng Po soup, so that I can forget him for life, I, I can't do it! ”

"Child, in this world, everything is successful, and everything is due to the fate of all people" Meng Po put down the soup bowl and slowly got up leaning on the crutches beside her, "You and Li Ran, although this ending is regrettable, but it is also the result of karma, otherwise, why you and not others." You should understand that everything in this universe has its place, and it has long been destined in the dark, and people should be born and move in response to the situation, since God has given him a chance to live, but has taken away all his memories, indicating that your fate has ended, this is fate, why do you have to disobey the sky? ”

The wind suddenly rose, the withered leaves flew all over the sky, and the dense fog on the Lechuan River was dense, and the yin air was dashing. Chen Yue'er looked into the distance, the heavens and the earth were colorless, only the ink haze and the boundless darkness were like a huge black hole, silently devouring people's souls.

After a long silence, I only heard her say, "What is fate?" If it is destined that I am separated from him by yin and yang, and it is destined that he will forget me, then I can't forget that he is also destined. The so-called reincarnation in this world, if everyone forgets each other after all, I would rather not have this reincarnation! ”

"You, why are you so obsessed! Alas! When Meng Po heard Chen Yue'er say this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Do you know that if you want to break this law of reincarnation, you have to jump into the Lechuan River, and wait for thousands of years to be reincarnated after being drowned in water and fire." In a thousand years, you may still see Li Ran walking across the bridge, but you can't speak each other, you can see him, but he can't see you. In the millennium, you will see him walk through the Nai He Bridge over and over again, drink bowl after bowl of Meng Po soup, and your entanglement with him will be farther and farther away with the reincarnation of his first life. After a thousand years, if your mind is not extinguished and you can still remember the events of your previous life, it will be possible to re-enter the world and look for him again. Do you understand? ”

A line of tears flowed down Chen Yue'er's cheeks, "I understand, Meng Po." Closing her eyes, Li Ran's face appeared in her mind, his pain, his warmth, so clear and profound, Chen Yue'er said to Li Ran in her heart, "This life is over, this situation is helpless, but the only thing that can be the master is my eternal heart for you." ”

After a long time, she opened her eyes and spit out two words firmly: "Come on".

When Meng Po saw Chen Yue'er in such a situation, she knew that she had made up her mind, and it was useless to say more. Then he said, "In this case, I have a few more words to tell you." There are countless snakes, insects, rats, ants and souls in this Lethe River, which will gnaw at your flesh and blood at every moment, and your mental memory will also disappear, you must silently recite the Great Compassion Mantra nine times a day to resist the wear and tear of this mind, once you fail, you will lose all your memories and can no longer be reincarnated, and you will become a lonely soul and wild ghost in this Lethe River for the rest of your life. At the end of the millennium, a bitter mole will grow on the back of your neck, if Li Ran has a heart after reincarnation, he will follow this mole to find you. However, you must understand that after a thousand years, Li Ran has been reincarnated ten times, his memory of you has long been erased, and the possibility of the two of you meeting again is very small, and even if you do meet again, the hope that he will recognize you is too slim. And you can't get rid of the emotions and memories of him, and you are likely to end up alone. ”

At this time, the wind and clouds on the Lechuan River are even worse, and the river is mournful and miserable, which makes people creepy. Chen Yue'er was expressionless, "Since this is my choice and my karma, let me bear it!" After saying that, he jumped into the Lethe River without looking back.

A heart-rending shout came, and the color of heaven and earth changed. Snakes and insects gather in the Lechuan River, surging with the blood and excitement of predation. Fierce ghosts and ghosts are cruising around, watching coldly, ready to pounce on them at any time.

"What is the situation in the world? Alas, I hope you will survive this thousand years. Seeing this desolation, Meng Po sighed and closed her eyes.
