Chapter Ninety-Six: Lethe
Tongtian Bridge, according to legend, is the bridge to reincarnation, not a shortcut to the fairy realm, what is Tongtian, the end of the world, the end of life, that is, the sky.
The blue-gray stone brick paved bridge, the two ends are filled with a faint mist, this fog is not the white fog in the wind valley, but the mist like a rain curtain, floating on this bridge of the sky, whether it is the front or the back road, is an illusory and ethereal.
"Is there really a so-called bridge in this world......? Can you really reach the path of reincarnation?" Lin Qi hesitated, he had learned about the Tongtian Bridge in ancient books, which was a divine bridge to reincarnation.
The stele beside him, the three ancient words "Tongtianqiao" on it flowed with the breath of time, Lin Qi leaned over to investigate, and felt that the essence of his life seemed to be swallowed up at this moment, so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back, this stele is really a bit ancient.
In the fog in the distance, Lin Qi didn't know where to go, the bridge didn't mark where the road ahead was, so he had to choose a random direction and walk slowly.
The stars dot the night, the stars are swirling in the long river, making the night beautiful and enchanting, the bright starlight is shrouded in the bridge, through the faint mist, people have an illusion, how can there be such a beautiful scene in the world.
In the entire Wind Valley, only Lin Qi's footsteps surrounded his ears, he clenched the sword of time in his hand, in this Wind Valley, he didn't dare to have any carelessness, especially this bridge to the sky, under the mysterious and beautiful appearance, I don't know what kind of heart is wrapped.
This bridge seems to have no end, Lin Qi walked for half an hour, and there was still a faint fog in front of him, without any change, which made him feel ominous.
Under the bridge to the sky, the thick white fog has persisted for a long time, which is the breath of life that has been silent for a thousand years, which ...... It is the memory of the previous life of the living, or the remnant thoughts, they are not willing to be reduced by the world, so after they die, the attachment in their hearts will burn into thoughts, dissolve into the soul, and in this way, continue to exist.
It's not that they don't want to leave, but because in their hearts, there is something to protect, and they are willing to wait here for life or death, until the last wisp of their soul is turned into dust.
continued to walk for half an hour, and suddenly, in the fog in front of Lin Qi's eyes, a person could be vaguely seen, she stood by the bridge to the sky, looking at the dense fog below, without any words, as if she was staring at something.
Lin Qi was stunned, stopped, looked at the figure of the man, and suddenly asked, "May I ask who Your Excellency is?"
"A man who has been waiting for a thousand years! or...... A wisp of revenant!" The voice floated from the front, and the tone was very indifferent, and it was a woman's voice.
Lin Qi was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be a ghost in this bridge to the sky, but this is not strange, in the white mist below, the soul there does not know how many years it has existed, but what surprised Lin Qi is that this is actually a woman.
Through the faint mist, Lin Qi could see the back of this woman, she was dressed in white like snow, with beautiful curves, long hair scattered over her shoulders, three thousand hairs like love silk, in this red dust, waiting for someone to return.
Lin Qi was silent for a moment, he didn't know who this was, but he couldn't feel the killing intent on the other party, it could be seen that the person who came was not malicious, but what Lin Qi wanted to know was where this bridge would lead, and would it be the entrance to the gate of reincarnation?
"Yes...... Ask you something?" Lin Qi asked flatly, keeping a distance from the woman.
"Ask! I'm ...... I haven't spoken for a long time, some things have been scattered in the wind, and some memories still exist in my heart. There was sadness in the woman's words, as if she was waiting for something.
"Is the end of this bridge reincarnation?" Lin Qi went straight to the topic, and the answers to some questions needed to be found in reincarnation.
The woman smiled suddenly, as if crying, and looked at the bottom of the bridge, where, at some point, it had turned into a river.
"Do you know the Lethe River?" the woman suddenly asked.
"Isn't there only the path of reincarnation that there is the so-called Lethe River? And this is just a legend! Whether the world really exists, I ...... I don't know. ”
"That'...... What do you see here?" the woman turned to her side and pointed to the river called Lethe River underneath the bridge.
Lin Qi walked to the side of the bridge and looked down, his face changed suddenly, "This...... This is...... Lethe River?"
I don't know when, the vast white mist turned into a turbulent river, the river is bottomless, when Lin Qi leaned over, he could see some dead souls looming in the river, this ...... It is the legend that an indispensable ride on the road to reincarnation - the Lethe River.
At this moment, Lin Qi fell into deep doubts, the legendary Lechuan River, the bridge on it should be "Nai", why there is a Lethe River under the Babel Bridge today, Lin Qi is puzzled.
"People have to forget their feelings! I don't want to, the person I was waiting for, he once told me, he will definitely come back to see me! I will stay on this bridge until the second before my soul is shattered......" The woman's voice gradually became hoarse, until she cried, tears silently fell from her eyes, and finally, dripping into the Lethe River below.
Lin Qi stared at the Lethe River under him, at this moment, he finally understood where the Lethe River came from, the infatuated people in the world wanted to see the beloved one for the last time, and were willing to stay on the bridge through the sky, and their tears would drip in the Lethe River, and after many years, those tears turned into the river in the Lethe River.
This...... In fact, it was the tears they left before they died.
Lethe ...... I don't think so, because love is the best answer in the world to explain the word attachment.
Even if the last tear is drained, even if it has been waiting for thousands of years to finally become empty, even if it is ...... There is no end to this wait, and their obsession will not disappear with the years.
Lin Qi finally knew that this woman was an infatuated lover, she had waited for her sweetheart for a thousand years, an ordinary person's life was at most more than 100 years, a thousand years, ten lifetimes, etc., that is, a thousand years, and this hope is to have an indefinite period.
However, time can make people forget many things, Lin Qi doesn't know how long this obsession will exist, but Lin Qi can be sure that in this woman, he can't feel any soul power fluctuations, or that her soul power is too weak, making him feel that this woman won't wait too long.
Looking at the woman's weak figure, Lin Qi suddenly remembered a legend that circulated in Lethe.
After a thousand years, if the mind is not extinguished and can still remember the events of life, you can re-enter the world and find the person you love.
"You...... Do you have to wait forever?" Lin Qi asked softly, the starlight also dimmed at this moment, and there was an aura of sadness and sadness on the bridge.
"I ...... I just want to see him one last time! just because ...... He promised me. The woman looked at the Lethe River, the corners of her eyes were no longer tearing, and the last tear had fallen into the Lethe River.
The breeze struck, with the sadness in the Lechuan River, people couldn't help but cry, Lin Qi was moved by this woman, he suddenly smiled, and muttered: "Hope...... There can also be someone like you, waiting for me at the end of the reincarnation......"
Lin Qi admired her and admired her for being willing to taste the loneliness of thousands of years, just to wait for someone to return.
This love has transcended the meaning of reincarnation, and the souls buried in the Valley of the Wind, which one is not an amorous person, the love and hatred in the world, here, scene by scene is repeated.
Suddenly, in the distance in the Lechuan River, there was a wisp of fire slowly rising, and behind the fire, a small boat carrying a man, dressed in a black robe, his eyebrows were light, standing in the wind, standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the woman on the bridge, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, tears in his eyes, slowly sailing.
When the woman in white on the bridge saw him, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and at this moment, she couldn't take her eyes off it......
A beloved, this meeting, waiting for thousands of years, the sweet or bitter story, perhaps only they themselves know, this way, she has suffered too much, but fortunately, she did not give up, and he is now coming to the appointment.
When the boat sailed to the bridge, the man handed out his hand and held the woman's hand tightly, at this moment, the two did not have any words, they both laughed, this smile contained too many feelings, this smile, all the suffering is worth it, this laugh, but her ten years of concern.
The years have aged and her face has grown, but her appearance has never been forgotten, it is the only color in her pale life, how can she forget it.
Then, the black-robed man took the woman in white to step onto the boat, and the fire in the distance rose again, and this love about waiting also came to an end.
After a long time, Lin Qi slowly spoke: "What is the name of the woman in white?
