I turned my head to look behind me at the corpses that were supposed to be my companions, they didn't change, they were still dead, but I felt the qi from them, a kind of vitality that belonged to them.

I turned and ran to them. Ran to the end of Huangquan Road, and when I went ashore, I found that they were still them, which made me so familiar that I couldn't be more familiar, the chubby An Xiaowu, the serious Ji Zizheng, the tall Song Gang, and Shi Xiaoxue, who was worried about me.

"This should be the Yellow Springs maze." I muttered.

The Huangquan maze can not only make people suspicious of each other, but also make themselves confused and unable to distinguish reality. Even my yin and yang eyes are greatly limited, and I can't distinguish between reality and illusion.

I turned my head to look at the Huangquan Road behind me, the road was quiet, the air looked a little dim, as if it was coated with a film, and there were no corpses running out of the Huangquan.

I saw a little boy standing next to the flower on the other side, looking around in confusion, he looked at me, his eyes were confused with me, there was a shadow of light behind him, it seemed to be an endless desert, he rubbed his eyes at me, and then disappeared.

Song Gang patted me on the shoulder and said, "Wang Yang, are you okay?" ”

I shook my head. Some lost their souls.

We continued on our way, and after walking for a short time, we came across a steep wooden bridge.

The wooden bridge is made of bamboo planks. The head and tail of the bridge are built at opposite ends of a long river, less than 50 meters long, and do not look sturdy.

The river under the bridge was dead silent, blood-yellow, and looked terrifying and calm.

Song Gang opened his mouth and said, "We first encountered the ghost butterfly and the living corpse, then the Huangquan Road, and now the wooden bridge and the river. So, the people who designed the tomb were designed according to the Ghost Gate Pass, Huangquan Road, Nai He Bridge and Lethe River? ”

Song Gang has listened to the elders in the village talk about going to the underworld after a person dies since he was a child. I've heard of such things.

Ji Zizheng said: "I used to memorize a poem, and the content of the poem was like this: Nai He is on the bridge, and right and wrong do not cross the Lechuan River. There is no right or wrong in front of the Sansheng Stone, and Meng Po will be on the side of the Wangxiang platform. If the cave full of human skin lanterns we walked through before was the Ghost Gate, we entered the Ghost Gate Pass, crossed the Huangquan Road, and now the Nai He Bridge and the Lethe River must be in front of us. ”

"Look at this bridge should still be able to hold my body, I'm afraid that something will suddenly come out of the river and drag me in, the river is blood-yellow, it looks like pus and blood, if you fall into it, you can't drown and die of disgust, the person who designed the tomb is too disgusting, it's better to stuff this place with feces, or no one will come in!" An Xiaowu wanted to vomit again as he spoke.

"Poop won't dry up for hundreds of years?" Song Gang scrambled against An Xiaowu again.

"Zizheng, tell you what you know about the literature you have read, how should we live here." I said to Ji Zizheng, although I am a Taoist, but I don't know much about the underworld, although there are a lot of books in the collection of Taiyinguan, but I haven't read much books like ghosts and demons, and I haven't seen any books about the underworld.

Ji Zizheng nodded and said: "According to legend, the Nai He Bridge is also a necessary place after death, after the death of a person, the soul passes through the Nai River Bridge, the good have the protection of the gods and Buddhas to cross the bridge smoothly, and the evil one is beaten into the Lethe River to suffer." There is a record of this in the book "Xudu Zhi", but walking on the bridge, good and evil are naturally known, the ghosts of good people can safely pass through the bridge, and those who are both good and evil have half a chance to cross the bridge, and may see some unclean things on the bridge, and the ghosts of the wicked cross the bridge, and are mostly stopped by water ghosts, and dragged down the Lechuan River to share food. However, now that the Internet information is so developed, there are many records about the Naihe Bridge and the Lethe River, and the legends are also different, and I say that this record is more in line with the scene in front of us. ”

"Do you mean to say that the Nai He Bridge and the Lethe River have the ability to test the good and evil of others?" An Xiaowu asked.

Song Gang heard An Xiaowu speak and became angry again, he looked at An Xiaowu with disdain and said: "Zi Zheng means that when we cross the bridge, we may see some illusions, and there may be unclean things in the river under the bridge, you don't understand anything, can you talk less?" ”

"Cut!" An Xiaowu didn't want to pay attention to Song Gang.

I said, "In that case, I'll cross the bridge first and see what can be out of the ordinary." ”

"Be careful." Shi Xiaoxue said.

I nodded, walked to the blood-yellow bridge of the river, lifted my breath, and ran forward, the total length of the bridge was less than fifty meters long, and I could jump over it with three or five ups and downs.

"Wang Yang, you are Laipi!" An Xiaowu saw me leap onto the bridge with one arrow step, jumped to the opposite side of the bridge in three or five steps, and shouted behind him.

But I didn't stand still after I landed, but suddenly I fell from the air and rolled on the ground, I staggered to my feet, my body trembled, and I was a little stiff, what did I see just now?

I didn't dare look back.

"Wang Yang, what's wrong?" Song Gang didn't dare to ask too loudly when he saw my embarrassed appearance.

My hairs still stood on end, and I looked cautiously into the Lethe River, which was quiet and deep, and there was nothing.

The reason why I crossed the bridge so quickly, and I deliberately held my breath when I crossed the bridge, was because I was afraid that something might happen or I would fall into some kind of illusion.

Who knew that just as I stepped on the Nai Ho Bridge with my last step, I caught a glimpse of a huge, boundless black creature swimming through the river.

I could feel the chill and terror in it, it was a snake.

A giant black serpent with no head or tail in sight, thicker than a road.

This pitch-black giant snake swam slowly in the river, and the blood-yellow water suddenly became as black as ink, like a bottomless galaxy.

This feeling makes me creepy, even if I have experienced a lot of terrifying things since I was a child, I have seen many dead people, I have seen ghosts, I have seen the fierce dragon hidden in the dragon tomb, and even I have seen the dragon stretching in the old well, I have not been afraid of this time.

The dog lives for 23 years, the appearance of the scholar will make you creepy, the tree lives for a hundred years, it will make people afraid of it like a ghost, the old well is deep, no one dares to look inside, and a python as thick as a water tank can scare people to death.

When a certain creature lives too long, the body will naturally produce spirits, the larger the creature produces the stronger the spirit, when under the old well, except for the people who were killed by big fish or anacondas, the rest of the people were scared to death by the real dragon.

The spirit produced by the real dragon is extremely terrifying, when the human being, who is as small as an ant, stands in front of the real dragon, he can't move at all, and he will be shocked by the spirit on the real dragon's body on the spot, and he is so frightened that he has no strength at all, it is not only a visual impact, but also from the tremor of the soul.

I don't know how my grandfather had the courage to swim to a true dragon ten thousand times bigger than him, in the years when he disappeared, I was always in the mountains to learn the Tao, I wanted to go down the well countless times to see what else was in the well, but I never dared, even if I tried my best to control my soul and wanted to enter the old well again, in the end I just wandered outside, did not dare to set foot in it.

It was an innate fear, a fear of a god who looked down on the living beyond nature.

And the reason why I am so afraid of the boundless serpent I just saw is because of the innate fear and unknown of the god-like creature beyond nature, and more importantly, it is alive.

I could hear my heartbeat beating to the limit, my own rapid breathing, my fingers shaking uncontrollably, and I couldn't help but take a step back, there are many things in this world that are more terrible than death.

Fifty meters away, on the opposite side of the bridge, An Xiaowu walked onto the bridge.

"Don't come here!" My voice trembled and shouted, this kind of supernatural creature is not something that ordinary people can face, how many grave explorers were scared to death under the old well, this is definitely not something that can be survived by the bold.

"Yang Zai, it's not me talking about you, it's all an illusion you see!" An Xiaowu had already walked to the Nai He Bridge, and he looked up at me nonchalantly and said.

An Xiaowu walked a few steps in a row and nothing happened, I frowned, maybe everyone saw something different, maybe I was the only one who saw the boundless huge and terrifying snake.

Although An Xiaowu was heartless, he was also walking on the wooden bridge cautiously at this time, not daring to be careless, he was afraid that something would suddenly come out of the river and pull him down.

"Looks fine." Song Gang on the other side of the river said that he was about to step on the Nai He Bridge, and I stretched out my hand to stop him.

Song Gang had already stepped on the Nai He Bridge with one foot, and then retracted it again, because An Xiaowu did not move.

"Xiao Wu?" I called out to him softly.

"What is this?" An Xiaowu's face was whiter than a dead man in an instant, and his tears left uncontrollably from his face, running down his cheeks, doaking the yellow muddy water that had not been wiped off his face. Hold the big brother.

I said, "Xiao Wu, you come here, it's okay." ”

Xiao Wu's teeth chattered, his eyes didn't dare to move, and he said a little slurred: "I have no strength, save me." ”
