Chapter 1 The Thatched House on Huangquan Road

Next Chapter

Legend

After death, the "person" enters the underworld, passes through the Huangquan Road, crosses the Lechuan River, drinks Mengpo soup, and finally enters the six realms of reincarnation, and so on until it is annihilated......

I don't know how long I've been walking, and I don't know how far I've walked. There was no life, no people, no animals, not even a plant on the way.

There was only the wind and sand in the sky, the boundless loess, and the strangely shaped clouds floating overhead, and the constant roar from nowhere.

There is no sun or moon here, but there is light, out of nowhere, illuminating the whole earth.

I don't remember where I came from, but the moment I opened my eyes, I was on this land. Time seemed to stand still, I didn't feel tired, I didn't feel hungry, and the scene around me didn't seem to change in the slightest.

It's just that in my head, there has always been a voice pulling me along this path.

"Ahead, just ahead, go quickly."

It seems that thousands of years have passed, and it seems like only a moment has passed.

Finally, at the front of the road, I saw a thatched hut. The hut was surrounded by a fence, and the outside of the fence was covered with bright red flowers, without leaves, only solitary flowers.

Like a tourist in the desert looking for a water source, I quickly quickened my pace and ran straight to the thatched hut.

I know that the voice in my head wants me to go is here.

As I got closer, I gradually got a better view of the surroundings of the hut. The grass hut is surrounded by a fence in the middle, and a pergola is erected outside the house, under which is placed a wooden table that looks a little old, and in front of the table sits a young monk, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, dressed in linen clothes, holding a blue teacup in his right hand, tasting slowly, and gently shaking a worn-out pu fan in his left hand. It's like a farmer who has just returned from working in the field, resting in front of his house.

It's just that the shiny bald head and the six ring scars remind me that this is a monk.

There was also a little boy standing beside the monk, about six or seven years old, wearing a red jacket, with his hands folded in front of his chest, looking up at the sky, and at the same time raising a hand to point at something, as if he was counting the clouds in the sky.

"Would you like to come over for a cup of tea?" As I approached, the monk put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at me with a smile.

"Master... Over here... What is it? I opened my mouth to ask the monk. Maybe I haven't spoken for too long, and when I open my mouth, I feel that my throat is a little dry and itchy, and my voice is a little hoarse.

"Huangquan Road." Seeing that I was standing still and not moving, the monk picked up the teacup on the table again and took a sip, and then slowly said three words.

"Huangquan Road?" I didn't realize it, the name was a little familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.

I was still standing there, my mouth on the three words. After a few moments, I finally remembered.

"Yellow Springs? Yellow Springs in the Underworld? Am I in the underworld? I... He's dead? ”

My eyes widened in disbelief, and I opened my mouth to throw out a series of questions.

The legendary Huangquan Road, the only way for people to enter the underworld after death, it is rumored that there are countless ghosts and ghosts on the Huangquan Road, but I haven't seen anything along the way.

Thinking of this, I looked up at the sky, and those strangely shaped clouds did look like human figures with teeth and claws. I shuddered again.

"Yes and no." Seeing me like this, the monk smiled lightly and spoke again.

"After this house, the back is the underworld, and when you enter the underworld, you will be considered a real death." He put down his teacup and gestured behind him.

I looked in the direction of his finger, and it was dark, like a black hole, and I couldn't see anything.

"And the road behind you is the path that leads to the sun." He pointed behind me again and continued.

I quickly turned around and looked, only to see that on the boundless loess where I had just come, there was a path paved with stone slabs, about three or five hundred meters, and the end of the path was also shrouded in darkness.

I clearly remember that I didn't see this trail when I came just now. It seemed to appear out of nowhere, paved on the road I had just walked.

"The road to the sun... I wondered, does that mean I can be resurrected by walking back down that stone path?

As if sensing my thoughts, the boy standing next to him suddenly spoke.

"Phew, fool, if you just walk back like this, and just set foot on that road, before you can lift your feet, you will be blown away by the yin wind and become one of the glooms in the sky, do you know? It's almost like a soul flying away. "The voice sounded a little mature, not like a child.

When my thoughts were revealed, I was slightly embarrassed, coughed lightly, and at the same time raised my eyes to glance at the sky, which was indeed not a cloud.

"Master, who are you?" The monk must have told me this for a purpose, so I opened my mouth to ask him.

"Like you, a passer-by on the Yellow Springs Road."

The monk's answer, I don't believe it, I have come all the way, there is not even an ant, where is the passerby. They were clearly waiting for me, and the voice in my head was clearly asking me to come to them.

"Do you remember what happened when you died?" Seeing that I didn't believe it, the monk didn't explain, so he opened his mouth to ask questions again.

When the monk asked me like this, I couldn't help but be stunned, I really couldn't remember anything.

Who am I? How did he die? What did you do before you died? Who are your friends and family? I can't think of anything.

"The little gentleman wants to go back, but what do you have to worry about?" The monk then asked.

I still don't know, I don't even know if anyone expects me to go back, and what life will be like when I go back.
