Chapter 155: Fog Forest
If this is really the case, then what is in front of you may be an illusion.
Judging from this kind of signs, even if this is an illusion, if it is swallowed by this soul mountain, it is possible that it will really die here.
The immediate problem is how to get out of this illusion, although the dense fog around is much lighter than before, but it can clearly see the distance of tens of meters around. Not to mention the huge mountain of countless souls, as well as the overwhelming number of unjust souls.
"Illusion? This really touched my knowledge blind spot. Qin Yu sighed helplessly, and stopped shaking the oars. No matter how hard you try, you will always be caught up by the giant mountain, and if you have this time, you might as well think about how to break through this illusion.
Fortunately, although there were many of these unjust souls in the sky, they were only bluffing, and they had not yet launched a substantive attack, which gave Qin Yu a lot of space.
Sitting in the middle of the boat, Qin Yu held the edge of the boat with both hands, and looked around.
After glancing at the surroundings and the sky above, they all shook their heads slowly, and did not continue to look again, but looked at the river.
The river crashed against the walls of the boat and there were swelling waves, and occasionally some blood-colored water splashed on the planks.
Qin Yu stared at the river water splashing on the plank, his brows furrowed slightly, hesitated for a while, wet it with his fingers, and put it under his nose to sniff gently.
The expected unpleasant smell did not occur, but the river water was colorless and odorless.
Thinking about it like this, it seems that after waking up, the smell that has been lingering around is gone, and I don't even smell the stench that rushes to the sky.
At this time, Qin Yu's somewhat anxious face suddenly calmed down, looked at the Soul Mountain, which was already far away, and smiled coldly, then stood up and plunged into the Nai River with a fierce son.
The icy river water instantly soaked the whole body, and the cry that lingered in the ears disappeared immediately.
Before Qin Yu could react, he only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and when he woke up again and opened his eyes, he was still in bed, but the dense fog before was gone, and the boat was moving slowly on the calm river.
Qin Yu breathed a few times rapidly, and immediately turned around and looked behind him. The old man who was holding the boat was still standing there, swinging the oars in his hands regularly, looking at himself.
"Husband." Qin Yu suddenly spoke.
"What's the matter?" The old man said hoarsely, this time he was not as silent as before.
"Did you hear the sound of a recorder on the river before?" Qin Yu pondered for a moment and asked calmly.
"Do you hear the recorder?" The old man said.
Qin Yu nodded and said, "This voice is very ethereal, and it is not very real, but there is really such a voice. ”
The old man was silent for a moment, then pointed in a direction on the lake.
Qin Yu subconsciously looked at the position he was pointing at, and then saw an illusory figure, floating leisurely on the river, his appearance was not clear, but judging from his figure, it should be a woman. In her hand, she held an arm-long recorder and was looking out there.
"Who is the woman?"
"The guilty person in front of him, when crossing the Naihe Bridge, was pushed into the "Blood River Pool" by the bull head and horse face, and was bitten by poisonous insects. ”
"Then why did it appear here, since it was pushed into the Nai He Bridge, why didn't I see a bridge on the Nai River?" Qin Yu asked puzzled.
"This is just the lower reaches of the Nai River, as for where the Nai He Bridge is, you still need to pass through the Ghost Gate Pass, Huangquan Road, the other side of the flower, and the Lechuan River. Only after crossing the Lechuan River can you see the Nai He Bridge, touch the Sansheng Stone, see Meng Po, drink Meng Po soup, and then you can enter reincarnation. ”
Qin Yu listened carefully, and also knew some things about the Sansheng Stone.
The earliest legend about the Sansheng Stone can be traced back to the Nuwa period.
It is said that when Nuwa created a man, she would take a grain of sand for each person. After a long time, it becomes a huge stone. Nuwa erected it on the bank of the West Tianling River, but this stone began at the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, and was gradually spiritually connected by the essence of the sun and the moon.
But I don't know that after a few years of spring and autumn, two divine patterns were born on the stone, separating the stone into three sections, even though it has the meaning of devouring the three worlds of heaven, earth and man. Nuwa hurriedly cast the spirit talisman and sealed the stone, thinking that after creating a human being, she would lack the reincarnation god of marriage, so she sealed it as a three-life stone.
Name the three stages of his past life, this life, and future life, and add a marriage line to his body, which continues from this life to the next life. After that, Nuwa thought about it again and again, and finally put it on the side of the Lechuan River in the Ghost Gate Pass, and was in charge of the reincarnation of the marriage of the three generations.
Compared with the origin of the Sansheng Stone in the underworld, this legend is more mythical, but it does not meet the definition of the Sansheng Stone.
In this legend, the Sansheng Stone was actually given a marriage, which sounds a little too yearning for beauty.
In folklore, the Sansheng Stone can reflect the appearance of a person's previous life. The causes of the past life, the fruit of this life, the reincarnation of fate, and the origin and extinction of the cause will all be heavily engraved on the Sansheng Stone.
For thousands of years, it has witnessed the pain and joy, sorrow and joy, laughter and tears of all living beings. The debts that should be repaid and the feelings that should be repaid will be written off in front of the Sansheng Stone.
Compared with the legends in mythology, Qin Yu is actually more inclined to the Sansheng Stone in folklore.
When a person dies and the lights go out, when he is about to enter reincarnation, perhaps only by breaking the cause and effect will the deceased have no burden in his heart.
However, Qin Yu was still keenly aware that when the boatman said the word Meng Po, there was an imperceptible rise and fall in his calm voice.
If it weren't for Qin Yu's concentration, it would have been difficult to spot this subtle fluctuation at all. Could it be that the old man who supported the boat and the Meng Po knew each other, or did it mean that there was some entangled past between the two.
Qin Yu didn't know, and at the same time, he didn't have any ideas to inquire.
As for the reason for the appearance of this woman, Qin Yu didn't ask too much, it was nothing more than related to the turmoil in the underworld back then.
This incident was not an unusual thing back then.
The two were silent, and returned to their previous calm, and the boat traveled about dozens of kilometers or so on the surface of the river, and finally could see the other side of the river.
But what is more eye-catching is the faint mist and the faintly visible green bamboo forest. As the boat landed, Qin Yu jumped off the boat, and then turned to thank the old man who was holding the boat.
The old man's eyes stared at the soul lamp in Qin Yu's hand, and then silently turned the bow of the boat to leave, and quickly disappeared from view as when he came.
Qin Yu didn't care, and after seeing him leave, he turned around, lifted the soul lamp in his hand, and slowly walked towards the bamboo forest.
The faint green light, as Qin Yu walked inside, slowly dispersed the thick fog.
However, when Qin Yu's figure walked by, the dense fog that had originally dispersed quietly regrouped together.
