Chapter 592: The Broken Bridge Collapses
Xu Promise whispered beside me: "This yin and yang compass is also a great treasure of the Maoshan faction, the yang disk is looking for ghosts, the yin disk is looking for people, when the two pointers coincide, the direction of pointing is the direction of the person we are looking for." ”
I felt extremely strange in my heart and asked, "Senior sister." Didn't you say the opposite, isn't it looking for ghosts on the yin side, and looking for people on the yang side? ”
Xu Yu shook his head and said: "No, the normal compass in Taoism was originally used to find ghosts and see feng shui, there is only one side, that is the yang side, and the yang side is used to find ghosts and see feng shui." The yin side is naturally used to find people.
"Hmm!" I answered, my eyes fixed on the dusty hands. The two hands slowly rotated in the direction of clockwise, one of the two hands rotated faster and the other turned slowly, and when the hand that rotated fast was about to catch up with the slow rotation, the two hands suddenly stopped.
Seeing this scene, Pu Ren's body paused, and his face was full of surprise.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Pu Ren like this, I looked at Pu Ren strangely and asked.
Pu Ren's brows furrowed. looked at me and said, "I don't know what's going on, it seems that there is a powerful force preventing me from looking for Le Ping'er." Speaking of this, Pu Ren took a deep breath and said, "I'll try again." ”
After speaking, Pu Ren bit his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood and dropped it on the compass, and after the blood dripped on the compass, it followed the lines of the compass and fell inside.
"It's moving." In Le Qing's shout of surprise, the two hands made of dust turned again, but this time the two hands rotated in a clockwise direction and the other in a counterclockwise direction, and soon the hands coincided.
I subconsciously looked in the direction of the pointer, only to see that the pointer pointed to Pu Ren himself. I saw that Pu Ren's face was flushed, and at this time, I only heard a loud "boom", and the compass exploded, and the two hands, which were originally composed of dust, drifted in the air.
I stared closely at Pu Ren, whose face was flushed, and the next second I only heard his "wow" sound. A mouthful of blood spurted onto the ground, and he coughed violently.
I hurriedly stretched out my hand to support Pu Ren, and asked puzzledly, "Senior Pu." What happened to you? ”
Pu Ren stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a face full of horror: "I, I just alarmed the underworld, and a powerful force came from the underworld to shatter the compass. ”
"Netherworld? How can you find the soul of Le Ping'er to find the underworld? Could it be that ......" Speaking of this, my brows furrowed tightly, I looked at Pu Ren in disbelief, and said, "Could it be that Le Ping'er is already dead?" ”
Pu Ren's body trembled a little when he stood up, and he only heard him say: "The first seven days of a person's death will wander in the world, fulfill those wishes for the sake of it, and after seven days, he will go to the Netherworld to accept the judgment of Lord Yama, so it seems that Le Ping'er has been dead for at least seven days!" ”
"I'm afraid that more than a month ago, she died on the third day when we took Le Ping'er to the Yongle Mansion." I carefully recalled what happened in the Yongle Mansion these days, and what has always haunted me is the day when I rescued Le Ping'er with the second young master, Le Hao.
Everything went exceptionally smoothly that day, and it was this extraordinary smoothness that made me so uneasy that it continues to this day. Now it seems that she was dead on the day Le Hao and I rescued Le Ping'er.
"Poof......" Just as I spoke, Pu Ren spurted out another mouthful of blood, I quickly helped Pu Ren to sit down on the side, Pu Ren sat on the side and kept panting, that is, this moment of effort, Pu Ren seemed to be a lot older.
I stretched out my hand to check Pu Ren's pulse, and found that Pu Ren's pulse was no longer as strong as before, and his pulse was as weak as an ordinary old man, "Pu senior, you, you ......"
Pu Ren smiled bitterly and said: "After being hit by you with the Heavenly Master Charm last time, I was already a dying person, I am glad to have the Le Jia's Honorable Niuhuang Pill to save me, but the person who made up for the medicine is not my own person after all, this time my body is afraid that I can no longer use any charms." ”
After listening to Pu Ren's words, I fell silent. Although Pu Ren has Taoist skills, his current body is no longer able to support him to use even a simple spell, and now he has become an ordinary person.
"Senior Pu, this Yongle Village is already close to the Yin Cao Prefecture, the Yin Qi is too heavy, your body can no longer resist these Yin Qi, you go back to Beijing first, just leave the matter here to us juniors." I looked at Pu Ren and said.
Pu Ren sighed deeply, although he had the heart to stay, but he knew that now he stayed just to add trouble to us, and finally under our persuasion, Pu Ren finally decided to leave the Yongle Mansion immediately, and I sent Pu Ren away,
The lonely ghosts outside the Yongle Mansion have all disappeared, this is the first time I have walked out of the Yongle Mansion in the past month, and it is also the first time I have seen the scene outside the Yongle Mansion.
The rows of old houses in the village before were gone, replaced by moss-covered tombstones, as many as the trees of the forest, and when they came to the edge of the broken bridge, the flowers on the other side of the broken bridge were still gently swaying in the sun, as if they were waving to us on the other side.
The ancient castle still stands in the sea of flowers, gazing at this side from a distance, echoing the Yongle mansion standing in the sea of tombstones.
Pu Ren and I stood on the edge of the broken bridge, he was silent for a long time, then looked back at me and said: "Ye Cheng, you and I can be regarded as a master and apprentice, I remember that when I was in Beijing, I taught you the life and death spell and the seven runes and six edicts, you were still a rookie at that time, and it didn't take long for you to suddenly be so powerful." ”
"Yes, time is really a very magical thing, he can change a lot of things, and I'm not always so weak, it's just that the soul power in my body was sealed by Liu Qingqian's resentment at that time, and I couldn't release it, and Liu Qingqian's resentment was resolved in the Forbidden City, and the soul power I had suppressed for more than 20 years naturally returned." I said.
Pu Ren said "um" and said: "That's why I think that you are not an ordinary kid, others will show off everywhere if they get great power, but you have been silently hiding this secret by yourself, your heart is the most unusual I have ever seen." ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, there is nothing to show off, it is an eternal truth that the tree is big and popular, maybe you will inadvertently offend someone in the process of displaying?" "As the president of the student union at the university, I deeply understand some of the truths in this society, no matter when and where people are always low-key, it is always wrong, and I often warn myself of this truth. Surrounded by historical garbage.
Pu Ren looked at me with a little more admiration, and then said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, you must be more careful when you stay, and come to me for tea when you arrive in Beijing." ”
"Definitely!" I smiled softly and watched Pu Ren step on the broken bridge.
When Pu Ren walked to the broken place in the middle of the bridge, he hesitated a few times, and below that was an abyss, and if he was not careful, he would fall down and break his bones.
I saw Pu Ren take a deep breath, calm down and then step on the void and walk to another broken bridge, and the faint sunlight fell on Pu Ren's body, shining his white hair a little golden.
I quietly looked at the sunshine on the other side of the broken bridge, I don't know if it is a mental effect or what, I always feel that the sunshine over there is different from the sunshine here, the sunshine over there is warm, and it is the real sunshine in the world.
However, the sunlight on this side of the broken bridge does not make people feel any temperature.
Pu Ren stood on the bridge on the other side, looked back at me, and shouted at me: "Ye Cheng, old man, I'm waiting for you......" Just as he was shouting, he only heard the sound of "boom", and the bridge began to shake violently, and I saw a huge stone rolling down from the top of the stone bridge, falling straight down the cliff, and then more stones on the broken bridge began to fall down.
Seeing this scene, I was taken aback, and yelled at Pu Ren: "Pu senior, run!" ”
Pu Ren didn't have time to reply to me, so he turned around and ran quickly forward, but the broken bridge on his side seemed to collapse even more, and Pu Ren fell down behind him one after another while running the stones.
"Ahh Just when Puren was about to run to the finish line, a loud sound sounded, and the entire stone bridge collapsed, only to see a huge amount of dust raised, and Puren also disappeared in the dust.
After a loud noise, the world returned to tranquility, and the towering cliffs on both sides still quietly looked at each other. But without the connection of the broken bridge, this place has truly become two worlds, and we who are still in Yongle Village may never be able to return to our own world, but I am more concerned about Pu Ren on the other side of the world, where is he now?
