I looked back and could see the bridge, but I couldn't see the door we came in.

The road led into the distance, which was dark and rocky.

I said, "Let's come to Zhang Daoran, does this Zhang Daoran live here?"

"Who is Zhang Daoran? Haven't heard of it. But you shouldn't have come here, and if you want to go back, I can send you back."

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It's all here, what are you going to do when you go back?"

I smiled and grabbed Zhang Yan's waist and took her into my arms. Zhang Yan is definitely my favorite woman. I can be sure that for her sake, I would rather stay in this underworld.

But does this hell really exist? Or is this just a game set up by Zhang Daoran for us?

I can't care so much, I walked forward hand in hand with Zhang Yan, I was afraid that as soon as I let go of my hand, Zhang Yan would be gone.

This is the first time I have been with Zhang Yan so truly and felt her presence.

She is so beautiful, just look at her, my heart is happy.

Ye Mei rode a horse past us and drove away, the sound of the horse's hooves was crisp and loud, getting farther and farther away.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually disappeared, and Ye Mei also disappeared into the black city in front of her.

Zhang Zhen walked back to the bridge, Zhang Yan and I followed, and when we arrived at the bridge, we kept looking at the black Lechuan River.

The river flows quietly, without any waves.

Zhang Zhen looked at me and said, "Lao Wang, do you say this is true? Are we really in Hades?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, the devil knows what kind of place this is, it's most likely a trap set by Master Zhang Tianshi!"

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what he is, it's just fun."

Zhang Zhen said, "Is it fun here? By the way, who are you? Why did it suddenly appear? It's like it came out of nowhere."

I said, "You should be a conjure. Don't ask about it, there's no point."

Zhang Zhen looked up at the Meng Po shop, he snorted and said, "If it is according to the script, there should be a woman in front of us who has prepared Meng Po soup for us."

Zhang Yan said, "Meng Po soup is only for those who die normally, I'm afraid we won't be able to take our turn."

I said, "Let's go and see."

The three of us laughed and ran into the Meng Po shop, and when we entered the store, Zhang Zhen shouted, "Meng Po, come out, is our Meng Po soup ready?"

As soon as he shouted, he really called out a woman in her thirties from behind the curtain.

The woman was average-looking, but with a full figure. As soon as she lifted the curtain and came out, she had a mature style.

Zhang Zhen sat on a stool, knocked on Erlang's leg, knocked on the table and said, "Where's Meng Po soup?"

The woman smiled and said, "Guys, don't make trouble here, I'm here as a yamen, not your restaurant!"

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "When you get on Huangquan Road and cross the Nai He Bridge, don't you have to drink Meng Po soup?"

The woman said, "Are you dead? Are you ghosts?"

Zhang Yan looked at herself and said, "Am I not?"

"Do you think you're a ghost?"

Zhang Zhen took the words, he stood up and said with a smile, "You are really Meng Po! If there is no Meng Po soup, there should always be a bar."

"I'm not a restaurant here, go down to the restaurant, and enter the capital city! However, the city is not a playground, and no one should enter it."

I said, "What if I have to go in and see?"

"I don't care about this, if you want to go in, you can go. At your own risk."

"If I want to go back, how can I go back?"

Meng Po stretched out her hand and pointed and said, "I went back the way I came, and when I got out of the ghost gate, I went to the yang world. I advise you to go back, this is not the place you should come."

Zhang Yan said, "That's not good, I'm here, I always have to go shopping." By the way, can I see the Sansheng Stone in the yard? I would love to know my past, this and future lives."

Meng Po smiled and said, "When I see the Sansheng Stone, I want to drink it

Meng Po soup, you don't remember anything. Are you still watching?"

Zhang Yan looked at me, smiled sweetly and said, "Forget it, I don't dare to forget you!"

I looked at Meng Po and smiled, clenched my fists and said, "Farewell!"

"Wait a minute!"

I felt like she was reaching out behind me to grab me.

I pulled out my knife sharply, turned around and blocked it, and slashed directly at her arm, and suddenly her arm was cut out. There was no bloodshed, as if it had been burned, with blue flames and cyan smoke.

She shook her arm, which quickly recovered.

Meng Po said, "Why are you so nervous? I'm just reminding you that when you enter the capital city, don't drink the water inside, you will have stomach trouble after drinking. If you want to drink water, drink the water of the Lethe River, which flows from the sun."

I put my knife in its scabbard, nodded and smiled, and said, "Thank you." Can I drink wine?"

"Water is not good, wine is not good, and food is not edible. If you want to eat, you can come back to me."

Zhang Zhen said, "You said you are not a restaurant here."

"But as a friend, I'm willing to cook a few side dishes myself!"

I smiled and said, "How can I repay you?"

"Help me find someone, ask him if he likes Meng Wanqing in his heart, and then tell me."

"Who?"

"Heroes of Nalan."

"He?"

"Do you know him?"

I smiled disdainfully, and I said, "This man is very handsome, but not very good-looking. Looks like you're in love with the wrong person."

"I'm waiting for your news in Lethe."

"No problem, I'll ask him when I see him."

"I want real answers."

"I promise to ask you about the cause and effect, and give you a satisfactory answer."

"Then there's Mr. Law." Meng Po gave me a salute.

I smiled, didn't return the salute, and pulled Zhang Yan towards the capital city.

When I arrived at the city gate, looking at the majestic city gate tower, I said, "If this is the enchantment arranged by Zhang Daoran, then isn't his Taoism at the same level as Taishang Laojun? It's unlikely, maybe he just opened the passage to Hades and sent us here."

Zhang Yan said, "I agree with this statement, what kind of Taoism can make people have such a real and majestic illusion? The illusion mostly stays on people and things, and the illusion of such a majestic city is not an illusion, it is a dream."

A few little ghosts were guarding the city gate, and on the gate tower, there was a city guard general wearing armor, leaning out and looking down.

We were stopped at the gate.

The general who defended the city jumped down directly from above, and when he saw this one, he had a horse's face, and he had a mace in his hand, and walked up and down in front of the three of us.

He said, "Where did it come from?"

I said, "Jingshi originally went to Longhu Mountain to find Zhang Daoran, but I didn't expect Zhang Daoran to get us here. Now that you're here, let's go in and have a walk!"

Ma Mian looked at me and smiled, and said, "Go back, there's nothing to do."

Zhang Zhen smiled and said, "Old Ma, I want to know, do you eat grass or meat!"

Ma Mian looked at Zhang Zhen and smiled and said, "The kid of the old Zhang family is really naughty, let me tell you, I eat people!"
