Chapter 312: The Thousand-Year Covenant Thank you to the book friend "Xianyi" for rewarding the big crown
Meng Po said for a while that I made a promise on the bridge a thousand years ago, and then said that the promise I made back then had nothing to do with the bridge god, which made me confused and inexplicable, and I didn't know what all this was about.
I looked at Meng Po in front of me with curiosity on my face, hoping that she could solve my doubts. Meng Po didn't answer me immediately, but smiled weirdly and said, "You really want to know about your past life? ”
The more I doubted, the more curious I became, and I nodded and begged her to tell me quickly.
Meng Po then nodded, and then told me a story!
She said that in the past, the Nai He Bridge at that time was not divided into three bridges, but only a chain bridge, through which the ghosts of reincarnation, regardless of good and evil, passed.
However, a thousand years ago, there was a solitary star plague god in the heavens, and the heavens sent him to reincarnate as a human being, and set foot on the Huangquan Road and walked on the Nai He Bridge in front.
Just when the plague god Lone Star crossed the bridge, he saw that the wicked were still so evil, and the traitors were still so traitorous, even if some ghosts had been punished by hell, they still did not change their dead nature, and when they crossed the bridge, he saw many good people being bullied by the wicked. Because the chain bridge is thrilling, there is no paved bridge deck on the chain bridge, and every ghost passing by will be frightened, so there are wicked people who let some good and honest people lie on the chain bridge, pave the way for it, and use the body of the good man as the bridge deck, so the wicked people step on the bridge from the body of the good man.
Some good people don't want to be stepping stones for the wicked, so the wicked people punch and kick them, but they cry on the bridge, like purgatory on earth. The good are good-hearted and honest, but the wicked are evil-minded, so how can the good deal with the wicked? You can only let the wicked bully.
The plague god Lone Star saw this situation, so he was very angry, he didn't expect that human nature was so evil on the road of reincarnation, he thought that heaven was unfair, good and evil were not distinguished, how could such a vicious person be reincarnated.
So, the plague god Lone Star strode on the Nai He Bridge, stood on the Nai He Bridge and stomped his feet, and shouted to the sky: "I see good and evil on the bridge, and the good soul cries and weeps, I want this bridge to divide good and evil, and the malignant will not change and cross the river!" ”
He shouted like this, the sound was so loud that it shook the Lechuan River, the underworld, and the world! The water of the Lechuan River was stirred up by a frightened cry of water, and the huge waves were in the sky, and the iron cables of the Naihe Bridge trembled, and the wicked people who crossed the bridge above were all shaken by this roar and stood unsteadily, and fell under the bridge one by one, and died in the Lechuan River.
The wicked fell into the river and could not go ashore, and wept and wept bitterly in the river, while the good men were on the bridge.
The yin soul that fell into the Lechuan River felt the biting cold water, and the screams of being bitten by thousands of insects and snakes were desolate. The ghosts who fell into the water cried and begged the plague god Lone Star to spare them and beg him to let them go ashore, but the plague god Lone Star knew that they were vicious and would not change, so he swore on the bridge: If the malignant nature does not change, it will never be possible to go ashore! After a thousand years, I will come to see if you are good or evil!
But how can human nature change? Therefore, the ghost that falls into the Lechuan River can only be buried in the Lechuan River forever, and will not be able to go ashore.
In this way, since the plague god Evil Star walked across the Nai He Bridge thousands of years ago, this Nai He Bridge to the other side of reincarnation can divide good and evil. Anyone who has been evil before crossing the bridge in life, the huge waves of the Lechuan River are turbulent, and the wind is rolling under their feet, and it is difficult for them to cross the bridge safely. Since then, there has been a distinction between good and evil on the bridge, and Zhier is good or evil.
Later, the prefecture added two bridges to the original chain bridge, one heavy gold and jade bridge, one heavy stone slab bridge, and left the lowest iron chain bridge. Since then, this Nai He Bridge has been divided into three crossings, and there is a rule of "three crosses on the Nai He Bridge, good and evil are different in the end". Those who do good deeds are all from the top of the golden jade bridge, steadily safe and evil sent to welcome in, good and evil half from the middle of the bridge, although it is also safe and sound, but it is inevitable to be frightened and lose their souls. The wicked man crossed the chain bridge below, and the fierce ghost blocked the way and the copper snake bit his body, and he couldn't stand it and dragged him down the river, and he would never be reborn.
Speaking of this, Meng Po stared at me with a strange yin and yang attitude, and then said: "The plague god evil star who crossed the bridge thousands of years ago is you, and the plague god evil star is really hell everywhere he crosses, and when this bridge was crossed by you, it became a purgatory on earth for the wicked!" ”
Hearing this, I was so shocked that my jaw was about to drop, thinking to myself that this bridge between good and evil was actually caused by me? And the ghosts in the Lethe River are all harmed by me?
At that moment, I dared to be incredible, I said, "Meng Po, what you always say is true? ”
"Nature is true!" Meng Po nodded, and then said: "You swore back then, saying that you would come to the underworld again after a thousand years, and then come back to the bridge to divide the good and evil, if they do not change their viciousness, they will never be able to go ashore." ”
"This is what you call the Millennial Covenant?" At this time, my brows were already furrowed into a line, and I never thought that the so-called thousand-year covenant would be this thing.
Meng Po said, "It is this covenant, today is the millennium, so you are here." ”
Looking at Meng Po's face, although the yin and yang on her face is weird, but it makes me feel like I am not telling a lie, could it be that this time I went to the underworld to pass the yin cao, not because of my will, but because God was destined early in the morning? I suddenly realized that maybe I had never been able to escape the arrangement of fate, and that anything was probably predestined in the morning!
I thought about it for a moment, and then said, "But those ghosts are still vicious, and whenever anyone crosses the bridge, they all rush to pull the person who crosses the bridge into the water to change his life." ”
"Yes, the viciousness can't be changed!" Meng Po sighed and said, "But this is also human nature, isn't it?" ”
"Humanity?" I muttered, thinking to myself, is human nature necessarily evil? Falling into the Lethe River, don't you want to change?
Seeing that I did not speak, Meng Po said, "Actually, they do not repent, and it is because of you." ”
"Oh?" I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Even if I wanted to punish them for falling into the water and not being allowed to go ashore a thousand years ago, it was so that they could know their mistakes and correct their mistakes, why did I make my mistakes?" ”
Meng Po said: "The yin soul who fell into the Lechuan River was originally a traitorous person before his death, and after falling into it, he was not allowed to be reborn, so he was even more evil." In order to be able to go ashore, they have no other way but to pull the person who crossed the bridge into the water to be their substitute, so the more they are afraid, the more desperate they are, the more they do evil, and the more they scramble to pull the person who crosses the bridge into the water, this has become a vicious circle, how can it become good? If you don't give them hope to change their ways, will they not be evil? Do you think it's your fault? ”
As soon as I heard this, it dawned on me that yes, a desperate person, how could he see his mistakes clearly, and how could he change them?
Meng Po seemed to think that I understood, so she continued: "People are divided into good and evil, but in today's world, human nature is mostly evil, so most of the people who cross the bridge are evil, and the evil spirits in the Lechuan River have tried every means to stop the wicked people who cross the low bridge, so there are more and more ghosts falling into the Lechuan River, which is really like a purgatory." In such a vicious circle, there are fewer and fewer people who can be reincarnated, and all the yin souls are left in the Lechuan River, and they are full of resentment, which can be said to have almost destroyed the balance of the Three Realms! ”
Hearing this, how many times did I come back to the senses, and I said, "That's why the underworld let the bridge god deceive me and ask me to pardon the yin spirit in the Lechuan River?" ”
Meng Po smiled and nodded: "If you are smart, you will be able to understand it at one point." That's right, because you swore a thousand years ago that if you don't change your viciousness, you will never go ashore, so all the ghosts that fall into the river will never be able to turn over, unless you open your mouth to let them go. ”
Speaking of this, Meng Po sighed and said: "However, how difficult it is to think of you, the plague god and evil star, to open good words, you are born to practice plague and disperse evil, it is easy to harm people and it is difficult to save people, so the underworld has to arrange for the bridge god to lie to you, saying that you promised to change your life for his rebirth thousands of years ago, so that you can feel the pain of falling into the river once and for all to recover, so that you can understand what hope is, so that you are willing to give hope to others, and also to give yourself hope." ”
At this time, I completely understood, I have always wondered why the bridge god suddenly wanted to be his stand-in, because the bridge god was willing to be a water ghost at the beginning, and he had sworn that he would never harm anyone, but when he came to me, he wanted to ask me to be a stand-in, which was very inconsistent with his original good intentions. Now after listening to Meng Po's words, I know that all this is to make me feel that the ghost will never turn over!
Meng Po said: "Although the wicked should be punished, but not all of them must not be born, you let the bridge between good and evil, don't you just want the wicked to be punished, ten miles of punishment is okay, although the wicked are evil, but everyone has a good and evil side, so it is not all evil in nature, since the evil people in the world also have a good side, then how can you not give the wicked the way of life?" The life of the wicked is blocked, and it is the most evil! ”
