Extra-four
After death, a person will be reincarnated or sent to hell based on what he did in his life. And those who are full of sins, after being burned by the fire of hell, can be reincarnated as human beings after being cleansed of the sins of their previous lives.
Liu Zezhong killed countless people during his lifetime, his hands were stained with blood, and after his death, he was thrown into hell, burned by the fire of hell, and lived in misery every day.
Five hundred years later, he was finally born with a sin, and the judge told him that he could go to reincarnation, but before reincarnation, he needed to drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, Meng Po soup, that is, forgetting the love water, forgetting the bits and pieces of his previous life, and what he loved and hated would not be remembered again.
His bloodless face was even paler by the fireworks of the underworld, but he was still the handsome young man he was back then. If he didn't have that past, he might be a simple boy chasing after a deer on the grassland. However, a person's life is easily defeated by chance, and his life was ruined by Chen Ruer.
He shook his head at the judge: "Can you take me to meet Master Mao?" ”
Because the judge was entrusted by Mao Leyan, he also took a lot of care of him, and he couldn't be the master in hell, so he couldn't help him much. But now that he has come out of hell and has repented, he will help what he can.
The judge took Liu Zezhong to Mao Xiaofang, and before Liu Zezhong said anything, he knelt down first and asked, "Heavenly Master, I want to ask, do you have to drink Meng Po soup for reincarnation?" ”
Mao Xiaofang nodded: "That's right, before you are reincarnated, you must wash away the memories of this life and forget the people and things in this life, otherwise, you will not be able to reincarnate." ”
Liu Zezhong raised his head and asked, "Is there any way not to drink Meng Po soup?" I don't want to remember the events of this life, but I can't forget only two people. One I love, one I hate. ”
Mao Xiaofang naturally knew who the two people he was talking about were, the one he loved deeply was probably his granddaughter, and as for what he hated, I believe it was Chen Ruer.
Mao Xiaofang said: "There is only one way, that is, to jump into the Lechuan River and suffer the pain of the copper snake and iron worm for thousands of years, so that after a thousand years, you can be reincarnated with your memory." ”
A thousand years, what a long time! He had been burned by the fire of hell for five hundred years, and if he had endured the impact of the Lethe River for another thousand years, he would not possess his soul.
However, he agreed so firmly, he said, "I am willing to jump into the Lethe River!" ”
Mao Xiaofang sighed: "Liu Zezhong, you must know that it is a thousand years of pain, and you may not be able to withstand it." ”
Liu Zezhong laughed pale and weak: "I can!" In contrast to his voice, his tone was very firm.
Mao Xiaofang looked at him and said, "You should know that Xiao Yan is already with Liu Yan." ”
"I know that they are now in a world five hundred years away from us, and in a thousand years, they may not be together, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I don't want to give up." Liu Zezhong said.
Mao Xiaofang sighed again: "You have the right to decide, but I must tell you that this thousand-year road is long, and you are likely to rush from the Lechuan River to the Santu River, and when the time comes, you will never be reincarnated again." Even if you can endure the torture of a thousand years and reincarnate after a thousand years, you may not meet him, you may wait for a thousand years in vain. ”
Liu Zezhong was silent for a long time and said, "I am willing!" ”
I will, how much like a marriage vow, but words are always pale, only practical deeds.
"I want to meet Chen Ru'er, is that okay?" Liu Zezhong finally asked.
Mao Xiaofang looked at him and said, "She is now in the water prison, accepting the punishment she deserves, if it is not necessary, she will still be gone." ”
Liu Zezhong shook his head: "I want to meet her, a lot of words, I want to ask in person." ”
Mao Xiaofang groaned for a while and said, "You wait a few days!" I'll arrange it for you!"
The water prison, full of resentment, is the most evil place in the Three Realms.
Liu Zezhong quietly appeared in the water prison, and the person who brought him was a woman named Long Zhanyan.
He suffered in hell for 500 years, and Chen Ruer also suffered in the water prison for 500 years.
When she saw him, her eyes filled with tears, and she forgot that she was now suffering from the flames.
"You're here!" She said quietly, she looked at him greedily, as if one glance could withstand thousands of years of longing.
He sat down on the edge of the water cell and whispered, "Yes, I'm coming!" ”
"How are you?" Chen Ruer wanted to stretch out her hand and touch his face, just like before, after five hundred years of separation, she didn't hate Mao Leyan for a day, and she didn't miss Liu Zezhong for a day.
"No, I've been suffering in hell for five hundred years." He didn't hide his hatred at all, and the light in his eyes was like hellfire, and it shot at her like a poisonous arrow.
She was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "That Mao Leyan didn't help you?" ”
"I'm doing it myself, who can help me? I'm about to jump off the Lethe River, and I want to ask you face to face, and I want to make it clear to you face to face. Liu Zezhong resisted the hatred in his heart and said calmly.
Chen Ru'er's face was shocked, and she looked at him in disbelief: "You want to jump off the Lechuan River?" Are you crazy? ”
"I'm crazy, I've been crazy for years, do you know why I jumped into the Lethe? I want to remember you, because the hatred in my heart has not diminished in the slightest. I want to remember you, and when I see you again in the next life, I will stay away from you and will not see you. He said coldly.
When Chen Ru'er heard his words, her face was full of sadness, and she shook her head: "You hate me so much? Everything I do, it's for you. ”
"I am here today because of you." He laughed, and the laughter was as cold and cold as coming from hell: "I want to ask you, did you put a spell on me that day, and made me infatuated with you?" There was a time when he was very infatuated with her, and even did a lot of disobedient things for him.
Chen Ru'er hesitated for a moment, and finally, nodded silently: "That's right, at that time, you were getting older and gradually didn't listen to me, and in desperation, I cast a spell on you to make you obey me." At first, I was doing this expedient, and when you fully accepted my ideas, I would undo the spell for you. But, in the end, I became attached to you because of your kindness to me, and I don't even remember that you fell in love with me because of my spell, I always thought that you really loved me, and it will not change in this life. But I didn't expect that when Mao Leyan broke the love spell I put on you, you fell in love with her out of control, I have worked hard for so many years, how can I give up the person I love to others? Ze'er, can you not hate me? ”
Liu Zezhong smiled bitterly, with a look of infatuation on his face: "If you have never appeared in my life, how good it would be!" He turned to look at Long Zhanyan and said, "Miss Long, thank you for bringing me, I have already met the person I want to meet, and I have already asked clearly what I want to ask in my heart, please take me away!" ”
Chen Ru'er hurriedly said: "Ze'er, after the spell of infatuation is unraveled, do you really have no feelings for me?" ”
Liu Zezhong didn't speak again, he didn't want to say a word to her, he didn't know what kind of person he would become today if she didn't appear in his life, but at least it would be better than now, at least qualified to pursue the woman he loved. However, it is too late to say anything now, and it is the biggest mistake that they meet.
He returned to the underworld and jumped off the Lethe River without hesitation. The water of the Lechuan River is blood-yellow, full of lonely souls and wild ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, full of insects and snakes, and the fishy wind blows in their faces, they all have a firm belief in their hearts, and they have a person who cannot be forgotten, they exchange thousands of years of pain for a hope, and this hope is likely to become despair after a thousand years.
On the Lechuan River, it is the Nai He Bridge, on the Nai He Bridge, Meng Po personally sent away many reincarnated souls, and the souls below are looking forward to it, the lover in their hearts, stepping across the Nai He Bridge, dare not look at the Lethe River below, the wind is rolling below, and the fishy wind is blowing in the face, as if a glance can teach people to be afraid of their hearts.
Day by day, they gritted their teeth and endured, many unjust souls could not bear it, and were washed into the Santu River, the Santu River, which is the end of the Lechuan River, where there is poisonous water that corrodes the bone marrow, and if they fall into it, they can only become water ghosts of the Santu River forever without reincarnation.
Liu Zezhong didn't know if he could survive it, and he even thought desperately that he didn't know when he would be washed into the Santu River. How long is a thousand years? He spent twice as many years in hell as he did, and in hell he would feel the pain gradually numb, and then he would not be very painful and uncomfortable. But in the Lechuan River, pain exists all the time, and when he is desperate, he will think about Xiaoyan speaking in his ear before he dies, and he is willing to endure such pain for the warmth of that moment.
He didn't know how much time had passed, and every day all he had to do was look up and see if there was any woman he loved who had crossed the bridge. She even thought that she had been charitable all her life, and probably after she died, she would also become a fairy and ascend, right? If she hadn't been reincarnated, he wouldn't have been in vain for a thousand years, but any soul that could get out of the Lechuan River was no longer an ordinary soul, and he had enough ability to leave here and find her.
Even if it's just to see it, it's good!
It's so dark, and I don't know how long it has been. One day, he suddenly saw a figure walking on the bridge, after a person died, reincarnated, and his soul became young, she was not what he knew, but he knew that it was her. He called with all his might, but he couldn't speak, and even with all his strength, he couldn't make any sound.
He watched as she drank Meng Po soup, and then jumped into the path of reincarnation, and the blood in his whole body boiled, and then cooled, as if it was frozen.
Then, Mao Xiaofang came to inform him that such a situation would occur many times before it reached the end of his waiting.
He never saw Liu Yan, and later learned from Mao Xiaofang that Liu Yan had meritorious service to Liu Guo and settled the world, and had been included in the command of Emperor Ziwei and officially became an immortal. He was glad in his heart, whether he was an immortal, Xiao Yan and him would never see each other again, right? The fate between them, when it is over, is over, and it takes many years to cultivate before there is a lifetime of husband and wife.
