Chapter 17, Lethe

"It stands to reason that this should be it."

Huang Yuangang packed up the box and put it in my hand.

"This thing should still be of some use to you, so study it."

After saying goodbye to Chen Hao's mother, on the way back, everyone's mood was a little complicated, one was the joy of finding the right clue, and the other was the fear of what was behind it.

"I will report this matter to the organization, and ask them to send three more people to cooperate with us, this thing, our team can't eat."

"Xuansheng, call me Lao Huang in the future, I see that you and I have some differences, so it will be easier to communicate."

I nodded, I had been silent these days, rarely spoke, and he probably found out.

As for the people above, I thought to myself, a wisp of evil qi on the body can kill people and bring them back to life, no matter how you look at it, it is not something that we can deal with.

The roar of cars roared along the road, and soon we were back at the teahouse, and after settling Lynchway in, I also went to my room early to study what my grandfather had left behind.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was three days.

In the past three days, only Ye Xin and Huang Yuangang went to investigate the clues, and they asked me to stay here, probably because they were worried that I was the only one who had no ability to resist, and if I really encountered that monster, it would be difficult for the two of them to protect me.

I ended up being idle, and I slept relatively comfortably at night in the past few days, and I didn't encounter the things of the previous night.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, it happened to be Saturday, a young woman wearing a purple cheongsam came to the teahouse, this woman wore a silver mask, the mask covered half of her face, only her mouth and eyes were exposed, but looking at this skin, she must be a beautiful woman with a pretty good posture, her hair style was from the Republic of China period, she stood in front of me, as if she was looking at people in the Republic of China period, there was a feeling of crossing the times.

This is the helper Lao Huang said in his mouth, the first person turned out to be a beautiful woman, but Lao Huang and Sister Ye Xin are not here now, so I can only entertain her.

And the information that Lao Huang gave me said that the woman in front of me is not simple, she seems to be really a person during the Republic of China.

In fact, when I first looked at the above information, people were also a little confused, people in the Republic of Dynasty, didn't they live for more than a hundred years? How can I be in front of me for more than a hundred years, but I look less than thirty, and my manners are very elegant, and extremely picky, as if I have a habit of cleanliness, and the moment I see me, I am very interested in being five meters away from me, which means, I dislike you.

"You are Li Xuansheng?"

Her eyes are very beautiful, like a pool of clear water, her eyes are very calm, as if she has seen a lot of wind and waves.

I sighed in my heart: "What a strange woman." ”

She should have known me through the information Huang Yuangang gave, and then she knew my name.

"Yes, I am Li Xuansheng."

She looked me up and down, and muttered, "It looks a little similar, but this temperament is too bad." ”

I pretended not to hear her words and asked directly, "Have you seen my elder?" ”

Our Li family is in the same lineage, who else can look a little like me, but my ancestors? If according to what Huang Yuangang said, this person really lived for more than a hundred years, then she probably saw my grandfather's father, that is my grandfather, I know very little about my predecessors, and what I know is completely from some records in the suicide note left to me by my grandfather, these records are very few, my grandfather is also quite taboo about the affairs of his ancestors, and he didn't tell me about his past when I was a child.

"My name is Lethe."

She didn't answer my questions, just told me her name.

After death, people have to pass through the Ghost Gate, pass through Huangquan Road, and between Huangquan Road and Hades, draw the boundary by the Nai River. The water of the Nai River is blood-yellow, and it is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts that cannot be reincarnated, full of insects and snakes, and the fishy wind blows in the face. There is a Nai He Bridge on the Lechuan River, there is an old woman sitting on the side of the Nai He Bridge, her name is Meng Po, if you want to cross the Lechuan River, you must cross the Nai He Bridge, you have to drink Meng Po soup to forget the things of your previous life, if you don't drink Meng Po soup, you will not cross the Nai He Bridge, and you will not be reincarnated.

Lethe, Lethe, Lethe River.

This name is somewhat bleak and desolate.

At this time, her eyes were always staring at the jade pendant on my chest, and then at my face.

I saw her eyes condense, her fingers quickly making some movements that I couldn't understand, but I knew that it was a calculation.

She's counting my life.

It was also at this time that her face was slightly pale and she stumbled.

"Xuansheng, Xuansheng, Xuan, Xuan...."

She muttered words I didn't understand.

After a long time, her brow furrowed slightly.

"Can't see through ......"

It was at this time that she looked at me again, nodding and shaking her head, which made me a little confused.

Eventually, she stopped her movements and walked straight towards me, eye to eye with me, very close.

At this distance, I can even smell the faint floral fragrance of peony flowers on each other's bodies.

For a moment, I subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at each other with a cautious expression.

These days, what I have seen and heard, what I have learned from the forbidden books of Feng Shui, has made me have the greatest suspicion about all the people in this world of Xuanmen.

I'm not the kind of person who will be confused by women, to be precise, I should have more than enough heart and not enough strength, who told me to be sucked every month and cause weakness.

Being looked at by her, I felt a little numb in my heart, and I always felt that this woman was a little dangerous.

She didn't care about my gaze at all, with the same attitude as a little brother.

"I'm staying here from today, take my luggage."

I swear, if it weren't for Huang Yuangang asking me to receive these three people, I would definitely not want to help this woman carry her luggage.

Good guys, where is the luggage, there are five suitcases, a table, a cabinet and a few miscellaneous items.

However, this woman's heroism is also completely beyond my belief, these furniture are made of mahogany, worth several W, just find a place to live, the furniture must be mahogany, how rich it is.

In short, the world of rich people is unimaginable for people like me.

After spending a lot of effort and being too tired to walk, she finally arranged these messy items into a room.

Lethe saw that I was so busy that I wouldn't come to help at all, just sit in a clean corner and read, quiet and elegant.

"Busy with me?"

She saw that her luggage was almost packed, and closed the book in her hand.

I was sweating profusely, and I had no strength to speak, so I could only nod slightly.

"I'm hungry."

Her gaze was calm, but I could see what she meant.

It's clearly saying, "Go cook." ”

Where is this here to help, this is a living ancestor, I have been wondering if Huang Yuangang is looking for the wrong person, this woman doesn't look like she can help.
