Prologue 2 Drinking soup on the bridge.
The rain clouds in Luoxiazhou have not stopped, and they are busy sprinkling the raindrops the size of soybeans densely to the world, and when they pass by the two cyan ghost fires floating from the Seven Sturgeon Village, they do not detour, and directly transmit to the ground, which is not polite at all.
After the two cyan ghost fires passed through the clouds, the stars and moon were missing, and they fell directly into the darkness. I didn't know where to go, but with the traction in the underworld, the two ghost fires of Luo Hui's mother and son seemed to be holding hands, and they went straight towards the ghost domain where the underworld was located.
The Ghost Domain, hidden deep in the far west, provides a place for reincarnation for all dead beings in the world, as well as a shelter for those ghosts who no longer want to return to the world to suffer or do not want to drink the bowl of Meng Po soup. Since countless living beings die every day in the world, when the fire of life is extinguished and transformed into a ghost fire, they will come to the ghost domain under the guidance of the ghost mission, and after the judgment of the underworld, they will turn into a ghost and walk across the Nai He Bridge to the six reincarnations, or stay in the ghost domain for the last thirty years.
The ghost domain is divided into two domains, the inner and outer domains, with the weak water as the boundary, the outer area is the Huangquan Road that is hidden in the blood-red flowers on the other side, the Huangquan Road is straight and unhindered, as long as the ghost fire walking in the Huangquan Road is not tempted by the beautiful flowers around it, become one of them. After walking through the Huangquan Road, you can directly fly through the weak water that only ghost fire can cross in the air, reach the inner region, and then go to the underworld, waiting for the judge to take the order.
Luo Hui's temperament before his death was the same as Lu Zhongyin, simple and enthusiastic, and he also had a good reputation in the village. At this moment, holding his son who came to the Yama Hall together, Luo Hui only had a look of love on his face, and nothing else.
After inquiring about Luo Hui's life, he thought to himself: This is a good person who wants to go straight to the Yama Palace! But recently, the king of Yama has been in a bad mood, and it is said that he has encountered trouble! As a result, many precedents have been wrong. If you send this Luo Hui away at this moment, wouldn't it hurt her! Besides, this is also the daughter-in-law of my Seven Sturgeon Lu family. Oh, that's it! I'll think again.
Lu Juan thought about it left and right, and was about to give an order, but today's Halloween, the ghosts are not on errands, and there is no one in his hand. I had no choice but to say to Luo Hui, who was kneeling in the hall: "Lu Luo, how about I take you directly to Nai He Bridge to be reincarnated?"
Luo Hui didn't dare to disobey Lu Ju's order, so he had to nod, but when he looked at the baby in his arms, Luo Hui said again: "My lord, can my child go with me?"
Lu Juan slapped his forehead and almost forgot about this stubble, picked up the judge's pen in his hand, carefully checked it in the book of life and death, and even flipped through half of the book of life and death, Lu Juan's face suddenly became extremely complicated, and he muttered in his mouth: "It's really strange! There should be one in and one out of the underworld today, and it is the son in your hand who enters, so why are you?" Lu Juan hurriedly put the judge's pen in his hand into his mouth twice, and then twisted his beard left and right, his face was extremely ugly for a while, and he turned his head and said with Luo Hui with a serious face: " Lu Luo, I don't know why you came to the underworld, but your yang life is not over, I must take you back to yang!"
Luo Hui's face was also surprised, but he hurriedly asked, "My lord, that... What about my child?"
Lu Ju's eyes were full of regret, so he had to whisper: "I said, the underworld is in and out today, and it's your child who enters!"
Luo Hui suddenly hugged the baby in his arms tightly, there were tears in his eyes, but they fell into the air but turned into nothingness. Luo Hui was about to discuss a thing or two with Lu Juan again, but unexpectedly, Lu Juan's face suddenly became extremely exciting, and he hurriedly said to Luo Hui: "Your son is not simple, it turned out to be this hot potato, and let me take you to another person!"
Without waiting for Luo Hui to ask the reason, Lu Ju shook his robe, Luo Hui's eyes were dark for a moment, and when the light reappeared, he had already changed places, Luo Hui subconsciously stabilized his feet, forgetting that he was already a ghost at this moment.
The place where Lu Juan took Luo Hui was by the Lechuan River, and the last pass before entering the six realms of reincarnation was in front of him.
In the Lechuan River, the waves are rushing rapidly, and the bright yellow water comes from the endless distance, flowing into the endless distance, and if you listen carefully, you will find that the sound of the river surging is really the terrible wail of evil spirits.
A three-story bridge on the river, with brown wood patterns and wooden eaves flying tiles, is a bridge for Naihe. However, the top layer of the bridge is the bluestone bridge deck, five steps on the bridge, five steps fall on the bank, the west of the bridge is female, the east of the bridge is male, the left yin and the right yang, all are good people; the middle layer, the bridge deck made of ordinary wooden planks, there are still some damaged places, if you are not careful, you may fall into the Lethe River, and you are a person who is half good and evil; the bottom layer is tattered, almost no place to stay, there are countless evil ghosts and poisonous insects in the water of the Lechuan River, and there are countless evil ghosts and poisonous insects in the water of the Lechuan River, and they want to pull the great traitors and evil people who cross the bridge to the depths of hell together, and they will never be able to live forever!
Lu Juan led Luo Hui up to the bluestone bridge, but one hundred and ten steps to the steps down the bridge, at the end of the steps there was a woman dressed in plain clothes standing on the side of the lookout platform, this woman with a blurred face was the Meng Po who made every ghost who crossed the bridge have to drink a cup of Meng Po tea soup from the Lechuan River.
Lu Juan stepped forward and said with a serious face: "Mrs. Zhou, I have something to discuss with you!"
Meng Po, whose surname is Zhou, sneered and teased: "What do you want Judge Lu to discuss with my little tea soup mother-in-law? Isn't this a drop in your value!"
Lu Juan smiled angrily: "Mrs. Zhou, don't make trouble, it's a serious matter! I didn't have any tricks, so I came to you!"
Meng Po restrained her mocking tone and said, "Oh! there is still something in the ghost domain that can stump our Lu Judge, come and hear it!"
Lu Juan didn't talk nonsense, took the baby from Luo Hui's hand, and put it in front of Meng Po's eyes, Meng Po took a closer look, pointed at the baby and smiled: "Why are you again, you are an enemy, this time you were born and didn't come back for a day, do you think so much about me?"
The baby in Lu Juan's hand was really smiling when he saw Meng Po, and he stretched out his hands to hug him, and he didn't care about Lu Juan is disgust with a look of ignorance.
When Luo Hui on the side saw Meng Po take over her son, Meng Po's originally blurred face at this time was Lu Zhongyin's simple smile, and Luo Hui's tears suddenly rolled down uncontrollably.
Lu Juan beckoned Luo Hui over, and then asked Meng Po, "Can they let their mother and son borrow the six reincarnations together to go back to the world?"
After hearing this, Meng Po also took out a book from under the table of the tea stall, and after opening it, only the record of Luo Hui wanting to return Yang appeared in the blank space of the book, and nothing else. Meng Po immediately shook her head and said: "The underworld has the rules of the underworld, come one by one, and no one can be an exception. You must know that the balance of life and death in the human world is maintained by the underworld, don't you know this? If you violate this in the underworld, you will be spurned by heaven. ”
Lu Juan, who had already expected it in his heart, looked helpless, and he never thought that it would be as he thought. Lu Juan was about to speak, but Luo Hui on the side suddenly spoke up, and said tremblingly: "Two... Two adults, the clumsy woman wants to ask, if I stay here and wait for reincarnation, let my child return to yang, is this okay?" After finishing speaking, Luo Hui's eyes were full of determination, although the wind on the Lechuan River still made her teeth chatter, Luo Hui still endured it and looked straight at Lu Juan and Meng Po.
"This... Lu Juan suddenly felt that this matter was a little out of his control, and before he could finish speaking, Meng Po on the side suddenly interrupted: "Yes, but if you want to reincarnate, I'm afraid it won't be so easy! I don't know how long you have to wait here, you have to think clearly, whether to stay in this ghost realm full of dangers and suffer, or return to the world to be a good person and enjoy future happiness." ”
Luo Hui looked at "Lu Zhongyin" and looked at her with a smile, and the simple happiness of the two husbands and wives living together came to her heart one by one, and she was still intoxicated as before.
But in a moment, a sudden baby laugh in the arms of "Lu Zhongyin" pulled Luo Hui back into the choice in front of him, Luo Hui looked at "Lu Zhongyin", and then looked down at his son, and his heart was cut with a knife and weeping blood.
When Lu Juan wanted to persuade Luo Hui to return to Yang again, Luo Hui, who was in a dilemma, suddenly walked to the side of "Lu Zhongyin", took over the child he had not yet named, with a smile on his face, gently stroked his cheek, and the child in his arms also had a tacit understanding to enjoy the "warmth" brought by his mother, while stretching out his little hand to express his joy, while laughing "hehehe!"
Suddenly, Luo Hui turned his head suddenly, handed the child in his hand to Lu Zhongyin again, and then immediately turned around, and ran back to the other side of the Nai He Bridge without looking back, leaving only a few teardrops on the baby's cheeks, and suddenly the baby also cried "wow".
Lu Juan didn't feel good in his heart, and sighed for a while Luo Hui's love and resoluteness for the child, and said silently and softly: "Since she has made such a choice, it will be for you!"
Meng Po nodded, took out another bowl of cyan tea soup from the tea table, brought it to the baby's mouth, and said, "Anyway, you have drunk so many times, and this bowl is not bad." Besides, you don't have any memories now, so let's drink this bowl again!En! What a good baby!" While speaking, a bowl of tea soup was sent into the baby's mouth, and then Meng Po hugged the baby and said to Lu Juan: "Lu Juan, I want to go to the world and send him back to Yang, you have to help me take care of this tea stall!"
Lu Juan nodded with a wry smile, walked to the back of the tea stall, and became a tea soup official. Meng Po walked to the reincarnation room, and then a token flashed on her waist, and Meng Po walked into the world with the baby in her arms.
Luo Hui on the other side of the bridge saw this scene with a smile on his face.
