Chapter 2 There is no Meng Po, but
Lin Yu has heard the legend of Nai He Bridge, and has seen many, many beautiful love stories about Nai He Bridge, so if she is a little resistant to Meng Po, who is said to sell soup in Nai He Bridge, she is still very much looking forward to Nai He Bridge.
However, legend and reality are not always the same.
Lin Yu often looked ahead when she walked forward, wondering where she would go, and then she vaguely saw a red line, and there seemed to be some black dots on the red line directly in front of her. Lin Yu couldn't see it clearly even if he tried his best, so he could only give up and wait until he got closer to observe it.
From a distance, what looks like a red line is actually a blood-colored river with water and land, and the black dot is a stone arch bridge over the river.
The unchanged scenery finally changed, which made Lin Yu feel a little uplifted. She looked at these different things carefully, trying to know what they were in the legend.
In Lin Yu's eyes, the Yellow Spring Road, the flowers on the other side, and the boundless Yellow Spring, which had been spreading forward and seemed to be able to reach the end of the world, were all cut off by a blood-colored river here. The blood-colored river is at least hundreds of meters wide, the water surface does not make waves, the flow speed is not very fast, and the junction of the blood-colored river and the Yellow Spring is obviously not isolated, but there is no meaning of convergence and confluence, but each does not invade, and it is extremely strange.
There is a saying that "when the water is clear, there are no fish", of course, the blood-colored river is not the clearest water, Lin Yu can also guarantee that he absolutely does not smell any peculiar smell of the river water, but he can't see any life on the bank, he can only say that the water quality is strange, of course, the blood-colored river is never within the normal range.
The river is strange, and the stone arch bridge on the river looks equally unusual. From a distance, it is just a small black dot, but up close, you can see the height and spaciousness of the stone arch bridge. The stone arch bridge is black, the bridge is at least more than 30 meters wide, if you observe from the side, you can find that the highest part of the arch bridge is 50 or 60 meters away from the water surface, but there is no support at the bottom of the bridge, although Lin Yu does not know much about physical structure and other disciplines, but can also understand that this is not reasonable at all. It's just that such an unreasonable stone arch bridge is safely erected on the river.
The stone bridge has no railings, at a glance it looks more like a sloping stone road, there is a tall black stone sculpture on both sides of the bridge, Lin Yu is one meter seven tall, but it is only to the knee position of the stone carving. The stone carving could be seen to be a soldier wearing armor and holding a spear in his hand, but the stone carving was as dark as the stone bridge, and she couldn't see the specific details clearly, but the huge pressure on Lin Yu from that tall figure always made her feel that the stone carving would step on it.
Lin Yu walked onto the stone bridge, looked down at the black bridge deck under her feet, and felt incredible, she could see that there were no gaps in the stone bridge deck, which meant that the entire stone bridge was definitely a whole, but the stone bridge really didn't look like a natural product, it was more like someone made it, but such an unscientific stone bridge is estimated to be only built by ghosts and gods.
She guessed that this stone bridge should be the Nai He Bridge, and the river under the bridge was about the Lethe River. However, Lin Yu walked to the top of the stone bridge and did not see Meng Po and her Meng Po soup shop, which made Lin Yu wonder if she had guessed wrong.
Walking off the stone bridge, there is still a huge black stone statue standing on each side. However, the scene in front of the bridge is no longer the Huangquan Road at the other end, the flowers on the other side and the Yellow Spring, but a road paved with black stones without seeing the edge, and Lin Yu can see that the black stone material here seems to be very similar to the stone bridge. As for what was outside the stone road, Lin Yu could only see a dim light.
The team walked along the stone road for a long time in Lin Yu's subjective consciousness before they saw something other than the stone road - a stone tablet.
Specifically, it should be a "one person high" black stele, the stele stands in front of the team, and every soul in the team walks in front of the stele for a few seconds, and even the mood seems to change a little, and then it will go around the stele and continue to move forward. Lin Yu, who saw it, was curious, and he almost wanted to see what was strange about the stone tablet for the soul in front of him.
This "one-person high" stele not only changes the mood of each soul, but also changes the stele itself, specifically because of the height of the soul standing in front of the stele, the weight and thinness will change, and the changed stele will always be as tall and short as the soul, and the general size.
The souls in front of them stopped in front of the stele one by one, and walked in front of the stele again, and Lin Yu finally got closer and closer to the stele. There were only ten souls in front of him, and Lin Yu could already see the subtle adjustments made by the stone stele.
Then there were five souls, Lin Yu felt that she seemed to be a little nervous inexplicably, if she had a body now, I was afraid that even her heartbeat would accelerate.
Two more souls bypassed the stele, only three souls were in front, Lin Yu could see that the side of the stele facing her seemed to be very smooth, which reminded her of the mirror, the mirror that could reflect the whole person.
The first soul walked by, the second soul walked by, and when only one soul was in front of her, Lin Yu couldn't wait to come over and watch, she herself felt a little stunned, but she couldn't help but want to observe the changes between the stone tablet and the soul in front of her.
The stele was indeed changing, becoming the same size as the soul, not only that, but there seemed to be an imperceptible light wandering on the surface of the stele, Lin Yu felt as if he had found the reason for his nervousness, and stared at the two more seriously.
The translucent body of the soul in front of Lin Yu stiffened a little as Guanghua swam, as if something appeared on the stone tablet that only he could see. Guanghua continued to wander, and finally formed a faintly invisible disc with many strange patterns, turned into a streamer, and flew into his body, Lin Yu even saw that the disc stopped at about the place where it was the heart.
Lin Yu felt that his soul was a little cold, and he finally knew the reason why he was nervous when he saw the stone stele.
The reason why she resisted the existence of Meng Po was that it would make people forget the Meng Po soup that would make people forget the past, but when she was on the bridge, she didn't see Meng Po, but after crossing the bridge, she saw a stone tablet that suddenly appeared, which was what made her feel strange, and now she found that the stone tablet can leave a mark in the soul body, which makes her think of the reincarnation mark that can erase the memory and even the soul in the novels she saw before.
Thinking about everything she saw after she became conscious, it also made her seem to understand certain things and have many associations.
To be honest, Lin Yu didn't think too much about it since she regained consciousness, for example, she was pushed in front of the ghost gate, she always thought that it was pushed or squeezed by the soul behind her, but when she thought about it carefully, it was clearly the thrust automatically generated by the ghost gate, just to let her not get in the way.
There is also a little turmoil on Huangquan Road, but on the whole it is very calm, Lin Yu originally thought that everyone was because they had just died, plus some souls died, and the shock brought by the soul was scattered, so no one chatted and spoke, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that not only that, after all, there are always some people in the world who are born to chatter, optimistic or bold, it is impossible for everyone to be so silent, I am afraid that the peace along the way is a magic weapon or magic circle similar to a stone tablet in play.
The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more he felt a little chilled, this place seemed to have not even appeared a ghost at first glance, no one was in charge, very free, but in fact, it was a strict law, the ghost gate had its own effect, and the road was also laid with a magic weapon or magic circle that silenced the soul, planting a flower on the other side that made people die when touched, restricting freedom, and now the stone tablet that emerged on the road will also leave a mark in the soul body, although there is no ghost to care, but where can others have the slightest resistance.
There were thousands of turns in his heart, but the reality had only passed for a moment, and the soul in front of him had already turned his body and bypassed the stone tablet, Lin Yu tried his best to move forward naturally in order not to show anything unusual, while his mind was turning sharply, trying to come up with a way, but what should he do?
I didn't expect it, but the stele arrived in front of Lin Yu after taking a step. The stele shrank slightly, the light on the stele surface lit up slightly, and the almost invisible light began to wander, gradually outlining a disc-like figure, the disc that was not yet fully formed seemed to have a strange magic, and Lin Yu, who was still trying his best to figure out a way, felt that his nervous emotions began to relax, and it seemed that it was no longer an important thing to be able to erase the mark of memory, and the memories of his life appeared in a trance, as if to drag Lin Yu into the memory.
Lin Yu wanted to struggle, wanted to be awake, but the memories that kept coming to her mind were like a misty dreamland, which made people immersed and difficult to surface independent and lucid thoughts.
