Chapter Thirty-Six: Seeing the Black
Xiao Wenlu flew forward along the Yin Yang Road, and the lotus lantern under his feet stretched endlessly, with no end in sight. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiao asked for directions This is the first time he has come to the underworld, and he doesn't know what the situation is ahead at the moment, so he cheered up and was on guard.
I don't know how long I flew, a little light faintly appeared in front of me, Xiao Wenlu stared at it, it turned out that it was a simple and heavy gate that was glowing. Xiao Wenlu landed lightly in front of the gate, only to find that the gate was amazingly high, at least ten meters high. Above the gate, the three powerful characters of "Hades Palace" floated in the air, glowing with a cold and faint light.
It turns out that this is the Hades Palace. The Hades Hall is the place where the lord of the underworld, Hades, lives, and is also the place where his soul is judged. All the yin spirits came to the underworld and walked through the yin and yang road, and this Hades Hall was the first place to arrive. The king of Hades resides in the temple, examines the deeds of the yin spirits one by one, and if they do more good than evil, they are sentenced to be reincarnated and re-entered into the world, and the more good deeds they do, the better the natural reincarnation will be; If he does more evil than good, he is punished in hell. All kinds of legends about the underworld that have been circulated by the folk for thousands of years exist here, but the actual situation is millions of times more terrifying than the folklore.
It is said that such an important place should be heavily guarded, at least there should be a guard at the gate. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the front of the door was clean, and there was not even a ghost shadow.
Xiao Wenlu wondered in his heart, thinking that maybe this Hades director was clear, and he was not afraid of someone petitioning, and there was no need for anyone to maintain law and order. However, this Hades Palace is also an office after all, how can the door be closed and closed to customers?
Xiao asked Lu so much, anyway, the king of Hades must be inside, just go in and ask him for an explanation. Thinking so, Xiao Wenlu stretched out his hand to push the door, but he didn't expect it to be opened. He pushed harder, but the door still didn't move.
Xiao Wenlu couldn't help but scratch his head and look at the door carefully. This door is made of special material, neither wood nor metal to the touch, the tentacles are cold, the color is brown and black, and the light is faintly transmitted.
Xiao Wenlu frowned. There is no concept of time in the underworld, and he doesn't know how long it has been in the yang world during the time he has been down. If seven days had passed, he would not have been able to go back anyway. But if he wants to go back now, he always feels a little unwilling.
He gritted his teeth, determined to make a quick decision. At that moment, his hands shone with golden light, and he pushed towards the door with force.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the golden light in his hand touched the door, the door opened automatically and silently. He couldn't push it away just now, but now he can push it away with just a little trick, and it's really a little unexpectedly easy.
As soon as the door opened, a chill suddenly appeared inside. Xiao Wenlu was already injured, and the yang energy on his body was insufficient, and when he was blown by this pure yin and cold qi, he suddenly trembled slightly involuntarily.
It was pitch black inside the gate, and it was unusually quiet, and there was no sound at all. Xiao Wenlu took a deep breath, no matter what the hell this Hades was doing, he took a big step and walked in.
Xiao Wenlu walked into the dark hall and transported the trick to his eyes, wanting to see the situation in the hall clearly. In the yang world, no matter how dark the environment is, as long as he uses the trick, he can see clearly, but he didn't expect that it was completely useless here, no matter how he opened his eyes wide, it was still pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything at all.
This Hades Hall is really not an ordinary place. Xiao Wenlu was thinking about it, when suddenly a voice rose flat: "Go back quickly!" ”
Xiao Wenlu was frightened by this voice without warning, and he was covered in white sweat. He pricked up his ears, but he couldn't tell where the sound was coming from. He didn't care at the moment, and said loudly: "Who is Your Excellency?" Can you show up? ”
"You're not looking for me, what's the use of seeing me?" The voice replied slowly.
"Now that you know who I'm looking for, I beg you to let me know that someone has something important to see."
"The man you're looking for, he's not here."
Xiao Wenlu smiled: "He is the lord of this underworld, if he is not here, where can he be?" ”
"Young man, things in the world are so changeable that even the gods are unpredictable. What's so strange about him not being here? ”
Xiao asked Lu still not to believe it: "I'm afraid that he is not there, but he doesn't want to see me." Your Excellency has never wanted to show up, are you the one I am looking for? ”
"Hahahaha!" The voice burst out laughing. "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, how can I compare with his old man?"
"Then why does Your Excellency keep being secretive and unwilling to show up?"
"It's not that I don't show up, I've always been here."
"But ......"
"But why can't you see me? Young man, you've seen it. There was nothing in this place but darkness. When you see black, you see everything here. ”
This person spoke mysteriously, and Xiao was a little confused when asking for directions. He was about to ask again, when the voice sounded again: "Young man, I calculated for you just now, you only have less than half a pillar of incense left here." If you don't go back, I'm afraid you'll stay here forever! ”
Xiao was startled when he asked for directions, and turned around to leave. But as soon as he turned his head, he immediately turned back again: "No matter who your Excellency is, there is a question below, if you know, please do not hesitate to tell me." The half-ghost spirit boy was punished by the number of days, and his soul entered the underworld for seven days, and he returned when the number was full. Why has my son's soul been detained for so long without any reason this time? To tell you the truth, I'm worried that someone in the underworld deliberately violated the number of days and deliberately made trouble! ”
The voice sighed and said, "As the saying goes, there are days in the dark. This is natural and natural; Against the sky, but it is also a number of days. Everything is predestined, and when the time comes, you will know. I don't know anything about the prophets. Please come back. ”
Xiao asked Lu Hearing the voice say this, he knew that it was hopeless to ask. So he said loudly: "In this case, I will take my leave." I hope to have the opportunity to listen to your teachings again in the future! The reason why he said this was because he felt that the words of this voice always seemed to have hidden mysteries, and he felt as if he was a friend and foe, and somehow he had an indescribable closeness to this voice.
However, this is not the time to think about that. He had to go back immediately, and if he couldn't make it, he really wouldn't be able to go back!
Xiao Wenlu cheered up, stepped on the golden light under his feet, and flew out of the hall.
Xiao asked Lu to fly while calculating the time, and when he came, it only took about a quarter of the time of the pillar of incense. In this way, he still has enough time to fly out. But this time, when I went back, everything changed!
Xiao Wenlu continued to give birth to the golden light under his feet, and flew towards the starting point of the Yin and Yang Road with all his might. As long as he gets there, he can jump again, and he will be able to return to the yang world. However, although he flew in his ears, he never saw the starting point of the Yin and Yang Road!
The Yin and Yang Road has suddenly become longer!
Cold sweat trickled down from Xiao Wenlu's forehead. He couldn't be faster anymore, and the yin soul walking on the yin and yang road only saw a shadow flying overhead, and before he could see clearly, he disappeared without a trace. However, he had already left the quarter of the pillar of incense in the Hades Palace, and the Yin and Yang Road in front of him was still endless, and there was no end in sight!
Nearly a quarter of the time of the incense stick passed. Xiao has never been so desperate to ask for directions. Face after face flashed through his mind, like a farewell.
He shook his head and gritted his teeth. Be sure to get out! He cried out in his heart.
In the hospital, Yang Qianqian can't remember how long she hasn't closed her eyes.
She sat on the edge of the hospital bed with black circles under her eyes and messy hair, with Xiao asking for directions on her left and Xiao Lili on her right.
Today is the seventh day that Xiao Wenlu has left his soul. "If we still can't wake up after seven days......" Xiao asked Lu Lu before leaving her soul replayed them in her mind, and each time she replayed, she felt that she was closer to a collapse. She had never wished the clock on the wall would go slower and give them a little more time. But the "click" of the second hand still reminds her every second that time is running out.
No one came into the room. The beautiful nurse didn't show up either. The ward was so quiet that it was so quiet that Yang Qianqian wondered if there were only three of them left in the world, so quiet that she completely lost her sense of security, so quiet that every time there was a slight noise in the room, she would immediately jump up to check if the Xiao family father and son had woken up.
But every time it's a disappointment. Xiao Wenlu and Xiao Lili were still lying motionless, Yang Qianqian's eyes stared at the two people without blinking, her eyes were dazzled, and she would feel that the bodies of the two people had moved.
It was past noon, and the sunlight shining in from the window shone on Yang Qianqian's face, and she only felt dizzy. And in the anxiety, the sky is still getting dark. The hands of the clock on the wall pointed to seven o'clock, and there were only five hours left for Xiao to ask for directions and Xiao Lili. Yang Qianqian couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed the door and went out, wanting to find the female nurse who had saved her before, except for her, Yang Qianqian couldn't think of a second person who could ask for help.
As soon as she ran out of the door, she crashed into the arms of a doctor. This doctor was the attending doctor who had studied the strange illness of the Xiao family father and son before, and when he saw Yang Qianqian running out with tears on her face, he thought that the condition of the Xiao family father and son had suddenly deteriorated, so he immediately walked into the ward to check. Yang Qianqian has long been ownerless, and a dead horse is also a live horse doctor, knowing that the doctor can't help at all, so he has to pin his hopes on him.
I saw that the doctor checked the situation of the two people, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
Seeing the doctor's expression, Yang Qianqian's heart kept sinking. She asked in a trembling voice, "Doctor, how are the two of them?" ”
The doctor shook his head and said, "The situation is not good, you have to be mentally prepared." The body temperature of the two of them was much lower than normal, and their breathing was getting weaker and weaker. Especially this adult, the situation is even worse, even the heartbeat is very weak. There is nothing our hospital can do in this situation, so you can come to us if you need anything. After speaking, the doctor glanced at Yang Qianqian sympathetically and walked out.
Yang Qianqian covered her face and squatted on the ground, crying bitterly.
