Chapter 47: Entering the Capital (2nd Update)
"What the hell is going on?!"
Just as Zhou Buyi and Huang Li cried, the passenger ship slowly sailed into the cave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Outside the cave, there was the voice of the Stygian Fish's extreme unwillingness.
Inside the cave, the sound of crying echoed incessantly, and the mood of sadness spread.
The river was gently swinging, the passenger boat was going straight smoothly in the cave, and everyone's mood was unusually heavy.
In just a few days, two people have died in a row, and there is such a long way to go, how to go?
"Woo, Brother Yi, the third uncle is dead, the third uncle is dead!" The oriole wept on the boat.
Zhou Buyi trembled, his fists clenched together, his knuckles were pinched white, and tears flowed down his cheeks.
His father died ten years ago, and over the years, he has been raised by the third uncle, so to speak, the third uncle is half of his father.
Now, he died tragically in front of him, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Anger, sadness, reluctance......
Zhou Buyi almost went crazy!
"It's dead, it's all gone." Zhou Buyi's expression was wooden, as if he had lost his spirit.
"Smack!"
A slap slapped Zhou Buyi in the face, his eyes were glazed, and he looked at the person in front of him in a daze.
Qin Mu looked at Zhou Buyi, dragged him up, and said, "What are you like now, ah?!" Look at where you still look like you're in charge. ”
"Didn't you know there were going to be dead people at first?" Qin Mu looked at Zhou Buyi coldly, "Or do you think that if you want to die, you will only die if you want to die for those of us who joined the dart game later!?" ”
"Qin Mu, what nonsense are you talking about!" Huang Li pushed Qin Mu away.
"Shut up!"
Qin Mu shouted: "Everyone is sad that the third uncle is dead, but don't forget, we are still a long way from the Ghost Gate, how can you lead us to take the dart there in your current state!?" ”
"The third uncle died to save us, who are you going to show if you are going to die now, so that the third uncle can be resurrected, tell you, you look like this, it will only make the third uncle die blindly, if you really feel sorry for the third uncle, cheer me up and take us to send the dart safely to the ghost gate!"
Qin Mu looked at Zhou Buyi: "Don't forget, what does this dart mean to the world!" ”
"Okay, Qin Mu, don't say a word, the head of the house and the third uncle have a deep relationship, and now that the third uncle has encountered an accident, the head of the house will inevitably be depressed." Xiang Jun frowned.
Listening to these words, Zhou Buyi's expression gradually calmed down, and he slowly stood up, the sadness and unwillingness in his eyes were all swept away by him: "It's okay, Qin Mu is right, now is not the time to be sad, if this dart fails, then the third uncle will die in vain!" ”
"Brother Yi......" Huang Li looked at Zhou Buyi, and there were still two tear stains on his face.
"Yellow birds, swimming water clouds, re-light the guiding light, pass through this cave, and walk ten miles of waterway, you should arrive at the capital of Xu."
Zhou Buyi's voice was very calm, and he began to arrange various matters, and the sad atmosphere was temporarily alleviated.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, will this goddess still be wrong?"
Qin Mu's eyes slowly swept over the survivors in the boat, and finally met with He Qingwu's eyes, and both of them showed a strange look in their eyes.
Qin Mu sat in the boat, his expression becoming solemn.
The passenger ship passed through the cramped and damp cave, and the eyes suddenly became clear, the river was calm, the smoke was vast, and the passenger ship passed through it, like a drop in the ocean.
In the distance, a huge stone city loomed over the river, shrouded in a faint gray mist, with turquoise lights floating overhead.
It is like a bright light in the dark night, guiding the wanderers who are out in the direction of returning home, but these lights are guiding the ghosts who have always died.
"Is this the capital of the city?" You Shuiyun's eyes showed a strange color.
As the name suggests, it is a place for ghosts to live, and ghosts who have not yet entered the ghost gate will live in the city, waiting for some ghost soldiers and ghosts to take themselves to reincarnation.
When everyone landed on the shore, a huge city in front of them was like a long dragon lying in the water, and a strong yin qi rose from the city, and it was almost about to materialize.
The yin qi in the ghost market before was compared with this time, which was a small thing, and the difference between cloud and mud.
In front of the city gate, there is a 100-meter black stone bridge, under the bridge, the river flows, in the center of the bridge converges into a Tan spring water, the color is dark yellow, unusually turbid, and the upward bubbles are constantly bubbling.
In front of the stone bridge, there is a stone monument erected, and the stone monument is engraved with three large white characters: Nai He Bridge.
"I remember that the myth records that people enter the ghost gate after death, and then pass through the Nai He Bridge, drink Meng Po soup, and reincarnate, but I never thought that here I passed through the Nai He Bridge first." The swimming cloud opened.
"There are too many people who have died over the years, and they refuse to wait in the ghost town, so they can only cross the Nai He Bridge first, drink Meng Po soup, and forget about the past and present lives, so that they can be more honest in the capital."
Everyone passed through the Nai He Bridge, and there was no Meng Po at the end of the bridge, but two ghost soldiers guarding it, Zhou Buyi and Qin Mu looked at each other, and after nodding, Zhou Buyi stepped forward.
After talking to the ghost soldier, he took out the scroll from his bosom that the horse handed over before, and when the ghost soldier saw it, he immediately stepped aside and let the group go.
Qin Mu was a little curious, and while walking, he got off the Nai He Bridge, and not far away there was an earthen platform, and there was a small black pavilion on the side of the earthen platform, and there was a woman waiting in the pavilion.
Beside the woman, a pot was placed, in which the soup splashed, and the aromatic smell wafted into the distance from time to time.
This aroma has a fatal attraction for ghosts, just like a young beauty lying naked ~ naked on the bed waiting for you to gallop on her, no ghost can resist.
So, in front of the woman, there was a long line, waiting to drink the soup she boiled.
Qin Mu knew that the high platform was Wangxiang Terrace, and the pavilion on the side was called Meng Po Pavilion, and this woman was naturally Meng Po.
"This soup is for ghosts, we can't drink it, or we'll sink forever in this capital." Zhou is not easy to speak.
Everyone took a deep look at Meng Po again, and the woman seemed to sense everyone's gaze, and when she turned around, she also showed a smile.
This smile seemed to be seductive, Zhou Buyi shook his head, waved his hand lightly, and the word "swastika" appeared in the center of his eyebrows, blocking Meng Po's gaze.
Meng Po still nodded, her eyes retracted, and she received the visitors with peace of mind.
When everyone entered the capital, the surrounding environment was actually no different from the ordinary ancient city, there were still teahouses and restaurants, and on both sides of the road, there were also hawkers who kept selling.
It's just that the things they sell are some gold ingots, incense candles, shrouds and other things.
"Let's rest for one night in Xudu, and leave for Ghost Gate Pass early tomorrow morning." Zhou is not easy to speak.
Before entering the capital, Zhou Buyi planted a 'swastika' mark for everyone, so everyone could reluctantly accept the strong yin qi in it.
Everyone chose a hotel that looked good and stayed, and each of them chose a room to live in, and everyone was too tired to live on this day, and they urgently needed to replenish their energy.
After an hour, Qin Mu opened his eyes and felt that his mental strength and physical strength had recovered.
He took out half of the jade pendant from his bosom and said in a low voice, "It's time to visit this senior." ”
