Chapter 42: The City of Terror
"What's wrong Brother Yang? What do those three words mean? I asked hurriedly.
Wang Feiyang was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, but his eyes were still staring at the three big characters on the city wall, and he didn't answer for a long time.
Lu Li and I looked at each other, and we also felt that this place seemed to be unusual, otherwise Wang Feiyang, who was like ten thousand years of ice, would never have been so shocked.
It wasn't until a long time later that Wang Feiyang finally slowly spit out three words: "Dead City!" ”
As soon as Wang Feiyang's words came out, Lu Li's and I faces changed at that time, and then we showed expressions similar to those of Wang Feiyang just now, staring intently at the huge city over there.
"Dead City? The gate under this reservoir is actually the city that leads to the legendary underworld! ”
I took my gaze back, and began to look around, and though it was daytime, there was no sun to be seen, and the sky was always gray, and all around the city, except for the river of blood, was covered with yellow sand, as if the city had been built in the middle of the desert.
And in these yellow sands, almost every three steps, you can see a terrifying skeleton, the bones of people, animals, and some unknown creatures!
"The treasure in Daogu's mouth is actually hidden in this legendary city of vain death!" My heart was already surging, and then I looked at Wang Feiyang and Lu Li on the side: "How much do you know about this vain city?" ”
After Wang Feiyang was shocked, he returned to his initial calm, he replied that his Wang family had been in the paper business for generations, and he had heard his grandmother say that this city of death was created in hell by the ghosts of the king of Jizo Bodhisattva for the ghosts who died by unjustified disasters, and these ghosts died in death or suicide before their lives, so their lives were not exhausted, so they must stay in this city of dead lives before they can go down to the underworld to determine whether they can be reincarnated.
I was shocked, and then said: "No wonder the article on the seven big red coffins, in addition to recording a person's birth date and death date, there will be a prisoner character at the back, and the meaning of the number behind the prison word should be those who died in vain, the remaining longevity." ”
Wang Feiyang said that this is almost the meaning, but this vain city is located on the right side of the Hell Fengdu Palace, adjacent to the Nai He Bridge and the Blood Basin Bitter Realm, why does it appear in this gate under the East Gate Reservoir? This position is not right at all.
"Could it be that this city of vain death is fake?" I said.
"No, it's true!" At this time, Lu Li, who had not spoken beside him, explained: "Your understanding is limited to folklore, the one on the right side of the Fengdu Hall is indeed a vain city, but this city is also a vain city, I have recorded in the Shushan Chronicles, there are a total of one hundred and eight vain dead cities that are really located in the underworld, and this should be one of them!" “
"One hundred and eight, so many?" I was surprised.
Lu Li nodded, and said that the world is so big, and there are many people who died in vain, do you think that a mere city can accommodate so many people who died in vain?
I think Lu Li is right, it's like our prison in the yang world, if there is only one, it will definitely not be able to imprison so many prisoners.
I glanced back at the blood-red river behind me and asked, "Is there such a blood river outside the city?" ”
Lu Li nodded and said yes, it is the Yin River of Washing Sins, every ghost before entering the City of Vain Death will wash away their own causal sins in their previous lives through this river, and if the sins are heavy, they will not be cleaned, and finally they will be slapped under the Yin River by the blood wave.
I took a deep breath, no wonder when we came up just now, we saw many ghosts that had been beaten to the bottom of the river by the blood waves, it seemed that those people were all traitors before they died.
At this time, a lot of unjust spirits passed by us one after another, and walked towards the side of the city of the dead, and the three of us looked at each other and followed behind them.
Along the way, Lu Li took out two yellow talismans from his body, and after reciting a mantra, he stuffed them into the hands of me and Wang Feiyang, saying that this is a yin talisman, don't throw it away if you hold it, this talisman can hide the yang energy on our body, so that those ghosts can't see that we are alive!
Wang Feiyang and I hurriedly took the yellow talisman and put it on our bodies, indeed we should be careful, this is a city where ghosts live, if they find out that we are alive, it is tantamount to finding ghosts in a human city, and they will definitely be destroyed as aliens.
The three of us followed behind the ghosts, and cautiously walked towards the side of the city of vain death, and came to the gate of the city of vain death, where a group of Yin soldiers was standing, checking and registering every ghost that entered the city of vain death.
Just when I didn't know what to do, Wang Feiyang on the side directly took out three silver ingots from his body and threw them on the table where they registered. ”
So, the three of us swaggered into the city of vain, I felt very emotional, sure enough, it was still that sentence, everyone in the world is greedy, and it is the same to be a ghost, and the sentence that money can make ghosts grind is really reasonable.
Although I was very puzzled why Wang Feiyang had this kind of silver ingots circulating in the underworld, I was relieved when I thought of his identity as a paper maker.
There is a big difference between the city and the city in the world, because the buildings here are very different, not only the buildings of the Qin and Han dynasties, but also modern high-rise buildings, and at the same time, on the streets extending in all directions, there are speeding cars, and there are also horses full of muscles and tendons, as for the dress of those ghosts, some are wearing modern clothes, and a large part is wearing ancient costumes.
All in all, it's as if the ancient and the modern are blended together, giving people a very different feeling.
Just when I was still looking around curiously, in a square not far away, there was a strange sound of pipa playing and singing.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the full moon twice, who has mercy in the soul of hell, it is difficult to find a short-sightedness, and the misfortune flies to cry Jiuquan!"
The three of us were instantly attracted by the sound of the lute, and immediately walked towards the other side of the square, where a large group of ghosts were gathering at this time, and most of them were new souls who had just entered the city of the dead.
In the middle of the square, a young woman in a white gauze with a veil over her face was sitting, holding a lute in her arms, talking and singing, her voice was ethereal, but mixed with endless pathos and desolation, and one could not help but feel a sorrow rising in my heart, and soon I heard many ghosts around me crying along with the singing.
I also began to sob, and the more I cried, the more sad I became, but strangely, after this sadness, I seemed to feel that many knots in my heart were gradually unraveling, and my whole heart gradually became relieved.
"This is the wonderful sound of Jizo, which can wash away the fetters and worries of the yin soul for the past life, this woman is a person of great mercy and compassion." Lu Li's voice sounded next to me, and he asked me to listen carefully, the opportunity is rare, and it is very good for me.
I nodded, and couldn't help but look at the woman a few more times, although her face was covered by a veil, but I could feel that she must be a fresh and refined beauty!
Just as I was greedily feeling this magical sound, an angry scolding suddenly sounded in my ears, breaking my wonderful artistic conception.
"It's you ugly bastard again, you're here every day to make these annoying moths, making this piece of ghost cry wolf howl, go to death!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a middle-aged fat man in brocade clothes suddenly rush out of the crowd, and kicked the young woman with a fierce kick, the woman was unstable, and the whole person fell to the ground, she subconsciously wanted to pick up the pipa on the side, but was stepped on by the fat man's palm, and the woman suddenly made two sounds, and a painful look appeared on her face.
"Ugly monster, next time Lao Tzu sees you playing the piano here again, I will let your soul fly away." After speaking, the arrogant fat man directly tore off the veil on the woman's face: "Do you think that wearing a veil can cover up your ugliness?" I said you look like this, don't come out and scare people everywhere, okay? ”
The moment the veil was taken off by the fat man, many people present let out a burst of exclamation, and many people had disgusted looks on their faces.
I was also shocked, I originally thought that the face behind the veil would be a peerless face, but what I didn't expect was that this face was very terrifying, on her face, there were at least no less than twenty deep scars, like a huge centipede crowded her entire face, this kind of appearance just looked, will give people a creepy feeling.
The woman who was taken off the veil panicked instantly, she hurriedly wanted to pick up the pipa that was trampled by the fat man and escape from here, but the fat man was unrelenting, grabbed the woman's hair, and deliberately made her face face terrifying, and laughed: "This woman stole a man before her death, and was stabbed seventy-two times by her husband, and now she is still shameless when she comes to the city of vain, and she dares to attract bees and butterflies everywhere, it is really cheap!" ”
The surroundings suddenly cast countless contemptuous glances at the woman, and began to point at her, the woman's face was innocent and helpless, and tears began to flow from the corners of her eyes.
I pride myself on not being a good person, but I still have a conscience, whether this woman is what the fat man said before her death, but at least in what I see now, although this woman is ugly on the outside, but her heart is extremely clean and pure, just when I was about to stand out, Wang Feiyang on the side was already one step ahead of me, he directly pulled out the knife on his waist, and chopped the fat man's face with a knife.
