CHAPTER XXXI
"It doesn't matter what kind of bridge it is, I'm only interested in the coffin at the end of the bridge!" Lao Li didn't have much cultural accomplishment at first glance, and I didn't bother to talk to him, so I said, "If you encounter something textual, you can recite it back!" Hua Jianguo confessed"
Lao Li was stunned for a moment, "Brother, you're not crazy, look at the stone tablet, are you sure you can carry it?" ”
Liu Xin said disdainfully, "It's okay, aim at the side with the words about two centimeters wide, as long as it doesn't hurt the carving, and then cut it down, it's the same as cutting tofu." The whole back walks, just the bodies of the two little chicks, you also want to come out, cut. ”
"Let's take a look at the contents of the coffin first," I made my direction clear, and everyone walked towards the coffin.
"Wait!" Lao Li suddenly stopped everyone!
"What's the matter, did you see your daughter-in-law?" The fourth brother asked suspiciously!
"you, I'm worried about a mechanism on the bridge or something!" Lao Li said angrily.
"Brother Li is right!" When I think of those two lives last time, I feel a chill in my heart.
Lao Li stepped forward and looked around, lifted a stone bench on the ground, and then rolled over from the bridge, like bowling.
Seeing that there is nothing abnormal, everyone is relieved! "Let's follow the trajectory of the stone bench!" Lao Li didn't forget to tell me that the stone bench is not big, but it is just enough for us to pass!
Lao Li takes the lead, and the fourth brother is second! Lao Li went to the bridge, and the fourth brother didn't leave. I said, "Why don't you go?" The fourth brother said awkwardly, "He's fine, I'll go again," I smiled evilly and said, "You're really not authentic!" ”
Who knew that something would happen as soon as he finished speaking, Lao Li was fine at first, but when he walked to the middle of the bridge, he suddenly stopped leaving, he cried for a while, and beat his chest for a while. Then he suddenly took out the Luoyang shovel and slapped a shovel in his face! Blood splatters in one shot!
Then the whole person lay straight on the bridge! "I'll go, Lao Li, this is crazy," the fourth brother said in horror.
The sudden change overwhelmed us. However, Lao Li must be rescued, or he will be hung up after a while. Liu Xin took out the rake that hooked the baby from the small head of the coffin, tied the rope at the end of the hand, and threw it over just to hook Lao Li's belt, my fourth brother and I hurriedly dragged him over, and when he dragged it back, Lao Li's pants fell off and stuck on his calf, revealing a pair of red underwear, and a little yellow.
Liu Xin turned his head to look at the surrounding situation, and we hurriedly put on Lao Li's pants.
After a rough check, Lao Li seemed to have suffered some skin trauma, nothing serious, and after a while, Lao Li was sober.
I said, "Brother Li, what happened to you just now?" ”
"Yes, I just saw your posture and thought you were going to perform iron head skills, but it failed." The fourth brother looked at Lao Li's face, and there was a red mark in the center, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"I was just on the bridge, walking well, and suddenly I thought in my mind that what I was doing was so lacking in morality. Then I felt like I was really damned, so evil, and I didn't know how this could happen. ”
"What are you doing on the bridge?" I asked eagerly
"I didn't do anything, I just crossed the bridge" Lao Li Xian was very innocent, but I guess he couldn't remember, that shovel, what was it.
"I can't cross the bridge, what should we do?" the fourth brother asked me
"Then let's go under the bridge, what else can I do," Liu Xin said helplessly.
This time, I still went alone, and the fourth brother volunteered to test the water first, I guess Liu Xin is here, and this product will succeed.
I tied a hiking rope around the waist of the fourth brother, and the fourth brother carefully walked forward step by step.
When he walked to the center of the bridge, something strange happened again, the fourth brother's movements were obviously a lot of things grabbing his feet, but we didn't see anything, we saw him like the clown, jumping and crying, and then hit his head on the bridge pier, and he didn't have time to pull, he fell.
We hurriedly dragged the fourth brother back, and the fourth brother had no other injuries on his body except for the big bag on his head. may just faint, after Lao Li's rescue action that he couldn't look at directly, the fourth brother slowly woke up.
"What's wrong with you, why can't you think about it so much" Lao Li teased him.
"Yes, hey, hey, what the hell are you, what's wrong" Liu Xin couldn't help laughing when she looked at the fourth brother's appearance. No way, this guy looks really funny. He had a big bag on his head, like a light bulb!
"I, I just walked, and then it was like being in a ghost movie, there were a lot of hands on the ground grabbing my feet, and then slowly someone came out, and asked me to replace them, and then suddenly a lot of snakes and dogs rushed out, and I was in a hurry, turned around and ran, and hit the bridge pier directly." The fourth brother recalled carefully.
After getting his answer, I kind of understood, and I told everyone, "This bridge is the same as the legendary Nai He Bridge." It is a place where ghosts must pass through the journey of the Ten Halls of Yama and prepare to be reincarnated. On the bridge, an elderly female deity known as Meng Po will give each ghost a bowl of Meng Po soup to forget the memories of their past lives so that they can be reincarnated in the next life. Legend has it that when the deceased arrived at the Nai River Bridge, the guilty ones were pushed into the "Blood River Pool" by the bulls and horses on both sides to be tortured by insects, ants and poisonous snakes, while the dead who were good before their lives crossed the bridge, but it was very simple. ”
"Then those two statues of generals!" Liu Xin said, several flashlights shone at the statue in unison, sure enough! I didn't look carefully just now, but now I look, one is indeed a bull-headed general and the other is a horse-faced general, but the carving is very anthropomorphic, so I can't tell it.
Looking at the 12 zodiac signs on the other side, each of them also has a suspicious expression and a peculiar shape!
"Damn, I don't believe in this evil yet, there must be some secret secret, we didn't find it, so we got into the way. Rough uncle, Lao Tzu broke the stone statue first! After Lao Li finished speaking, he rushed forward, and what was even stranger was that no matter how he walked, he could never reach the stone statue!
Lao Li roared anxiously: "Hell, I'm rough!" Evacuate, this place is so weird? ”
If you are a bystander, you may not understand, but after all, I have played the formation, I can see at a glance that the stone carvings of different sizes on the ground, the position is definitely not placed casually, each of them is definitely useful, but we don't know this way!
Thinking of this, I called back Lao Li, looking at the stone bridge, I silently recited the three words of Nai He Bridge, and suddenly remembered that she had said a paragraph about Nai He Bridge in the sugar-coated cannonball Du Juan gave me.
Bluestone bridge deck, five steps, west of the bridge for women, east of the bridge for men, left yin and right yang. One day on the ground, one year underground. No matter who dies first, you and I can't forget each other when we wait for the year before last for 10,000 years on the bridge! It's a pity that it doesn't matter if it's a thousand years of looking back or a hundred years of promise. My fate with Du Juan in this life is like this.
And the folk legend, according to the record of the fourth volume of the "Xuanmuro Chronicles": "Walk more than ten miles, to a water, not a few feet wide, and flow to the southwest." Observing Xi, Xi said: 'This is called the Nai River, and its source comes from the prefecture. The water is bloody, and the filth is not approachable. Because there is a bridge on the river, 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. Those who are guilty in life will be pushed into the "blood river pool" by the bulls and horses on both sides to be tortured by insects, ants and poisonous snakes, while the deceased who are good in life can simply cross the bridge and then drink the Meng Po soup prepared by Meng Po on the Nai River Bridge to forget the memories of the past life and be reincarnated in the next life. In addition, in the tenth chapter of the famous ancient Chinese mythological novel "Journey to the West", there is also a description of the Naihe Bridge, and the original text reads: "The copper snake and iron dog are free to fight for food, and there is no way out of the Nai River forever." However, the bridge, some say three floors, some say three! The bridge is divided into three layers (or three), the ghosts of the good can safely pass through the upper bridge, the good and the evil cross the middle bridge, and the ghosts of the wicked cross the lower bridge, and most of them are stopped by the ghosts into the dirty waves under the bridge, but we do see a bridge, only one layer.
Thinking of this, I looked at Lao Li, yes, he went to the wrong side.
"I'll go up this time" I tied myself up with a climbing rope and looked at the fourth brother. At this time, there is a feeling that the wind is sluggish and the water is cold.
Ignoring everyone's opposition, I stood in front of the bridge and carefully observed, if according to folklore. Standing at the head of the bridge, I looked closely at the bridge deck and instantly understood. The width of the bridge deck is exactly three bricks. It turns out that the left and right sides represent good and evil, and the middle is soy sauce!
Lao Li just walked away is evil, I think about it, I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person, I'm still kind. Thinking of this, I specially told Lao Li and the fourth brother to pull the rope as quickly as possible if there is anything!
I walked step by step in the middle, and I didn't find anything unusual, but when I stood in the middle of the bridge, the eyes of the bull-headed horse-faced statue in the distance seemed to be reflective, and the thief flashed brightly.
"Zhou Kong, in fact, I know everything you have done for me! I love you too! ”
I'm Du Juan when I turn around! Why is she here, her voice is so clear, it sounds like a heavenly sound to me.
"Juan, is that you? I miss you so much, I think about you so hard! "I wiped my tears.
"What's the use of you crying? I hate crying people the most, and I don't look in the mirror to see how you look, are you worthy of me? You're just like my roommate said, you can only be a friend, and you will never be the one I marry! ”
Listening to his words, I felt as if I couldn't live anymore. I looked under the bridge, stood on the edge of the bridge, and just as I was about to jump down to end the pain, I suddenly felt someone pull me back. Then I was slapped in various ways, and when I woke up, Lao Li was still beating me hard!
"Stop, it's fun, isn't it?" I quickly stopped them, for fear of being beaten to death by them.
Lao Li stopped what he was doing and asked me, "What happened to you just now, why did you laugh and cry for a while, and then you want to jump off the bridge?" ”
I thought about it carefully and looked at the bull head and horse noodles! I looked at the 12 zodiac signs around me again. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that we had encountered a hard stubble this time. Could this thing be the legendary Qimen Dunjia technique, I don't know this.
With a bull head and horse face, why do you need to have 12 zodiac signs? By the way, I suddenly remembered a paragraph in Mr. Sun's notes, Qianma, Kun Niu, Zhenlong, Xunji, Kanfeng, Pheasant, Gengou, and Sheep. Pregnant!
