Chapter Eighty-Seven: Soul Hunting in Hades
The Hades at night were as silent as snow, and Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling walked in the Hades in plain white, more enchanting than ghosts.
"I'm going to cross the river."
Su Xiaoxiao stood in front of Lethe River and greeted Li Hanlin, who was in charge of the boat.
"Okay, just wait!" Li Hanlin shook the oars and came to Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling, Su Xiaoxiao pulled Bai Ling and naturally followed him to the ferry.
"I wonder where the girl is going?"
"Vicious Dog Ridge."
"Is there something urgent?"
"Searching for someone."
After a few short words like a hundred years ago, Su Xiaoxiao and Li Hanlin were silent, the Lechuan River was surging, and the stars in the sky fell like rain.
"Two girls, here."
The ferry shook all the way, and Li Hanlin sent Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling to Vicious Dog Ridge.
This is the fourth station of the thirteen stations of the underworld, Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling got off the ferry and walked all the way, when they suddenly heard a burst of dog barking, the barking became louder and louder, and the people who listened to it became more and more terrifying.
Su Xiaoxiao saw groups of vicious dogs, with fierce eyes, full of steel teeth, and fur as hard as steel wire, biting towards all souls like crazy, and refusing to let go without tearing off their legs and feet.
Souls from all walks of life tried their best to escape the iron mouth and steel teeth of this vicious dog, some were bitten off their legs, some were torn off their feet, some became one-armed, and some became severed hands.
Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling split up looking for Chu Tianyou's familiar figure among the ghosts, but unfortunately, they didn't find it.
Next, Su Xiaoxiao went to the fifth station of the Hades, Jinji Mountain.
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling entered Jinji Mountain, groups of roosters pounced on them, the iron beak and the vulture's mouth were as good as they were, and they had to blind the eyes of the soul at once, and the inciting wings made the ghost unable to open his eyes, and the sharp claws were more like the soul hook in the hand of the black impermanence, one claw could make the ghost skin open and flesh open, go deep into the internal organs, and not catch the heart and liver of the ghost.
I didn't find anyone in Jinji Mountain, and the master and apprentice continued to move forward, and suddenly there was a sea of people, and the colorful flags fluttered, as if some kind of party was held, there were twisting Yangge, there were dragon and lion dances, and it was very lively.
When Su Xiaoxiao saw this, he knew that they had arrived at the sixth station of the underworld, the Wild Ghost Village.
After working in the underworld for more than 30 years, Su Xiaoxiao understood that in fact, the lively scenes on the surface were all illusions, and they were transformed by the souls who had passed the Vicious Dog Ridge and Jinji Mountain, and they could not move forward because of their incomplete limbs, so they had to stay and gather here.
Wait for the arrival of those sound spirits who have been bewitched by the excitement, take the opportunity to find new limbs and replace them on their bodies so that they can continue to the Netherworld. I saw that those sound souls who were bewitched could not break free from these clutches at all, and there were bursts of painful wails, flesh and blood blurred, and heartbreaking.
Soon after, a pavilion appeared in front of Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling, and there was a deep well in the pavilion that was bubbling with boiling spring water.
This is the seventh station of Hades, the Temple of Lost Souls.
After here, you will arrive at the capital city of the underworld.
And the souls who have passed the first few passes must drink this ecstasy water when they arrive here, so that they can speak the truth, truthfully report all kinds of crimes in the yang world, and wait for the interrogation of the ten palace kings.
At the same time, after drinking ecstasy water, even the next session of Daluo Immortal, it will be difficult to return to the sun. Only those who are at ease become ghosts, waiting to be released.
Seeing the souls of this place for the first time, the stone in Bai Ling's heart weighed on her and she was about to breathe, she watched the ghosts line up in an orderly manner to drink water and go to the capital city.
There was still no one in the team she was looking for.
Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling traveled all the way, and finally saw a city gate in front of them, with a couplet on it, the previous couplet: people and ghosts, ghosts and people, people and ghosts have different paths; The next couplet: Yin and Yang, Yang and Yin, Yin and Yang are forever separated; There is no horizontal batch of black plaques, and the three gold lacquer characters of the capital city are hung in the center of the city.
It's so high up and so solemn. It's true that you can't see the stars, the sun and the moon when you look up, and you can't see the dust of the land when you look down.
Su Xiaoxiao entered the capital city, there were two gates inside, and between the second gate and the first gate, there were two lights floating high in the air, but they did not move.
One is bright, the other is dim and dark. The dark lamp walked down and entered the second door carved out of jade.
As soon as he entered the second gate, Su Xiaoxiao saw ten city gates arranged side by side, and the halls of Hades from one hall to ten halls were arranged in turn. The entrance of each hall is guarded by Yin soldiers and ghosts.
"Girl, what's the matter with you??"
Just as Bai Ling was anxiously searching in the capital city, a majestic voice sounded from behind her.
Bai Ling looked back and saw that it was the Emperor of Xudu.
Su Xiaoxiao pulled Bai Ling to his side and nodded slightly at Emperor Xudu.
"She's my apprentice, Bai Ling, we're still looking for someone."
"Zhaoren shows immeasurable forgiveness of sins and blessings of great mercy, and we meet again."
"The Emperor is well."
Emperor Xudu has been observing Su Xiaoxiao with those eyes that know everything.
I haven't seen it for a hundred years, and things are not people.
"As before, take the guide and this nether lamp, it may help you find the person you are looking for."
"Thank you, the Emperor."
Su Xiaoxiao took the road guide and the ghost lamp handed over by Emperor Xudu and continued to look for it at the next stop.
After that, Su Xiaoxiao took Bai Ling to walk more than ten miles in the capital city, and came to a land of water, which was not a few feet wide and flowed southwest.
They have arrived at the Nai River, the so-called Nai River, whose source is from Hades.
Look at it, its water is blood, and the filth can not be approached, because there is a bridge on the river, so it is called "Nai River Bridge".
The bridge is narrow and smooth, and it is guarded day and night by the god of day and night.
The blood river under the bridge is full of insects and snakes, the waves are rolling, and the fishy wind is blowing. The ghosts of the wicked fell into the river, the copper snake and the iron dog fought for food, and there was no way out of the river forever.
Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling stood on the Naihe Bridge, and the yin wind blew their white clothes fiercely.
The lone star is broken, the residual dream is broken, the plain clothes are cold, and the voice is more drummed, Su Xiaoxiao holds the white ghost lamp and the white spirit shuttles through the underworld.
Before they knew it, the master and apprentice had already reached the ninth station of the underworld, the eighteenth layer of hell.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that Chu Tianyou would not be here, so she didn't stay too long, but just left after coldly watching those who were killed by Chu Tianyou being tortured.
Because of the blessing of the road guide and the ghost lamp, Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling traveled unimpeded along the way, and soon came to the tenth station of the underworld, the Offering Pavilion.
Bai Ling searched carefully in the Offering Pavilion and indeed found the address of Chu Tianyou's Yin Mansion, but was told by the ghost that the person was no longer here.
There is no way, Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling can only continue to search, this is already the eleventh station of the Hades, the Ghost Realm Fort.
The ghosts in the Ghost Castle also have their own laws and regulations, and they have their own New Year's holidays, and most of the ghosts that the living people in the Yang World collide with are the ghosts in the Ghost Castle, and only a very few of them collide with the lonely ghosts.
The ghosts in the Ghost Castle can return to the yang world on certain days and under certain circumstances, but these ghosts must strictly abide by the scope of their own paths and requirements, when they can manifest, when they can go home, when they can possess their bodies, and when they can accept offerings. As long as they do not abide by the law and discipline, they will be gathered in front of the Lord of the Ten Palaces and sent to the eighteenth layer of hell.
"Let's go."
Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling continued to move forward, and when they arrived at the fifth hall, they saw the door of the white jade hall, the lotus flowers appeared at the door, bursts of Tibetan incense, all kinds of auspiciousness, the couplets at the door of the five halls, the underworld, the five halls of the ten halls are the main; Eighteen hells, a hundred punishments are based on the right way. In the hall of the five halls of the king of Hades, there was a lot of air conditioning.
Out of the fifth hall, the master and apprentice walked to the twelfth station of the underworld, the Lotus Terrace.
In the darkness, Su Xiaoxiao saw bursts of great light in front of him, the light emitted great light but it was not dazzling at all, and he saw a lotus platform in the strong light, mainly gold, supplemented by seven colors, giving people endless joy and endless freedom.
This is the throne lotus platform where King Jizo preached in hell.
Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling continued to move forward and came to the second gate of the capital city. Again, I saw a bright light, a dark light.
It turned out that Su Xiaoxiao's journey was all dark light road and hell road. Now that I want to return to the soul of the sun, I am about to embark on this bright light road.
This so-called light road is the road of reincarnation, the road of reincarnation. If a person who has passed through the yin and yang world embarks on the path of reincarnation, he will never be able to return to the yang.
After walking all night, Su Xiaoxiao took Bai Ling and finally walked to the thirteenth station of the Hades, the Soul Restoration Cliff.
There is a bridge on the side of the cliff, there are four sacred beasts on the bridge, located on both sides, and the gold and silver bridges are written on the boundary monument stone.
On the other side of the Golden and Silver Bridge, there are six circles that emit various colors of light, which are the six reincarnations, and which one is reincarnated will jump into which circle.
"Lord Onicha, please inquire, has this person come here to reincarnate in the past few days?"
Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling took the photos of Chu Tianyou in their mobile phones and asked around, but they all said that they had never seen Chu Tianyou.
"It shouldn't be, how could it be?" At this time, Su Xiaoxiao was full of doubts, people would not be reincarnated immediately after death, but after searching all over the Hades, they couldn't find Chu Tianyou, could it be that he was not in the Hades?
"Master, I can't find ...... Heavenly Blessing" Bai Ling stood in the path of the afterlife, looking around, but found nothing, she was a little desperate.
Looking at the appearance of his apprentice, Su Xiaoxiao decided to open up.
After working in the underworld for nearly a hundred years before, Su Xiaoxiao directly shared the Tianyan in order to save time, and Bai Ling used Su Xiaoxiao's Tianyan to find Chu Tianyou.
However, Bai Ling found nothing.
"God Bless ......"
"God, where are you......"
"God bless, I'm Senior Sister Bai Ling......"
"God Bless ......"
The white spirit called out, and the only thing that could respond to her was the spirit of the underworld.
"God bless !!!"
On the Soul Restoration Cliff, the yin wind gusted, the ghosts came and went countless times, Bai Ling knelt in front of the reincarnation well, blood and tears were surging, she really couldn't find Tianyou.
"God Bless ......"
"Where are you......"
"God Bless ......"
One after another, it was Bai Lingdao's endless lovesickness and despair.
At this moment, several ghosts walked to Su Xiaoxiao's side: "His Majesty the Hades King has been waiting for a long time. ”
"Lead the way."
Taige fairy land, well-dressed gentleman township. Yesterday they were still sitting opposite each other, and today they are dying.
The soul follows the ghost, and the spirit chases the king of Hades. At this time, he laughed and laughed, and there was no return to the court.
Under the leadership of the ghost messenger, Su Xiaoxiao's master and apprentice soon arrived at the majestic and gorgeous Hades Palace, and the ghosts brought Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Ling inside.
One step, two steps, three steps······· It's still three hundred and sixty-five steps, no more, no less, and it's the number of the four seasons.
Walking further, the candles in the hall are scattered, obscure, and there are twelve ghost envoys standing quietly on both sides.
When he arrived in the main hall, sitting on the high hall was the Hades King Su Yu, his black hair was half pulled, flowing between the red crown clothes, monopolizing the romance, a pair of peach blossom eyes on his thin face, there was a period of fragrance between the eye waves, and his thin lips were lightly pursed, becoming the power of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I want to find someone, but I can't find it after searching all over Hades." Su Xiaoxiao saluted and got straight to the point.
"The quasi-saint already knows about it, but you can't take him away today."
"What does His Majesty Hades mean by this?"
"He's not here."
"What?"
Knowing Su Xiaoxiao's intentions for a long time, the Hades King Su Yu walked down the Ming Hall and handed Su Xiaoxiao a bamboo slip.
It is Su Xiaoxiao's familiar yin and yang book.
"Why?"
"You'll see it when you see it."
Su Xiaoxiao opened the Yin-Yang Book according to her words, and just like she did back then, there was no record of Chu Tianyou in the Yin-Yang Book.
"Master, how can this be?" Bai Ling couldn't believe it, how could such a fresh life not be recorded!
"Your Majesty the Hades, this seat understands, Bai Ling, let's go." In the midst of the lightning, Su Xiaoxiao thought of the scene when he picked up Chu Tianyou before.
At that time, the second brother said that this child was reincarnated in the lower realm by a certain emperor.
"Master......" Bai Ling didn't want to believe that Chu Tianyou's existence could not be found in the underworld.
"Wait a minute, he, you can't take it away, and there is no soul of him in Hades, but you can take another one with you."
Hades King Su Yu said, the two ghosts brought a ghost, it was the fallen Aunt Jiang.
"What does your majesty mean by this?" Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
"Her yang life is not over, and she should have returned her yang."
"What about my apprentice?"
"It's a matter of your own." Hades King Su Yu looked at the white spirit beside Su Xiaoxiao with his eyes, and his face was unfathomable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your interruption today." Su Xiaoxiao got the answer, and took Bai Ling's hand and left the underworld.
"Master, God You can't be resurrected, right?" Bai Ling's voice trembled, but he still looked at Su Xiaoxiao with hope.
"He can't be resurrected." Su nodded slightly.
"Then, Master, you said before that you were going to hold a wedding for us, do you still count?" Bai Ling asked.
"Count naturally."
"I want to marry God!"
"What?"
