Hearing the creaking sound of the old boatman's ferry, Meng Wei thought it was because the old man was reluctant to maintain the dilapidated fishing boat.

It wasn't until the fishing boat left the harbor that Meng Wei found that the boat was comparable to a magic weapon, the quality was absolutely in place, and the movement under the boat was terrifying, and those squeaks were all the slapping sounds of the vicious souls at the bottom of the Lechuan River, and even some ghost hands climbed onto the fishing boat and tried to pull people directly from the boat into the water.

Liu Ting took out an oil lamp from his blanket with some distress, looked at Meng Wei who was sitting on the bow of the boat and looked at the water several times, and muttered loudly.

"Old man, I'm really at a loss, this is a fascination lamp, the big secretary ordered me to save my life, you see that there is not much oil left in this lamp, use one point less."

Seeing Meng Wei turn his head and look over, Liu Ting immediately continued to complain with a sad face: "Alas, I usually don't have such a big reaction, I think it's because there is the breath of a living person on the boat today, don't order it, I can't say that the boat will be destroyed and people die, let's order it, what will I do if I support the boat ferry in the future, that old man!" ”

Such clumsy acting skills are not as good as one-tenth of Ji Youyu's coquettishness, Meng Wei replied angrily: "I know, I know, Liu Ting, I remember this name, when I see the great god, I will definitely tell him all your suffering, and let him arrange an errand for you in the hidden capital." ”

Hearing this answer, Liu Ting smiled, his old cheeks were so squeezed into a ball with a smile, and he was still talking hard.

"It's not bitter, how can it be bitter, everything is for the common people, for the gods of the earth, old man, I am just old, and I want to live with the gods."

Liu Ting lit the oil lamp with satisfaction, a scarlet fireworks flickered on the wick, and the sound of continuous slapping continued, and the ghost hand that climbed onto the bow of the boat seemed to be frightened, and instantly retracted to the bottom of the Lechuan River, no longer restless.

"Old Liu, do you know why the Great God of Houtu made the dojo to such a ghost place?"

"Hey, I'm an old man who ferries by boat, where can I know the thoughts of the great god of Houtu, but ah, this place was not like this before, it was after Houtu came, the yellow spring water was extradited, and the Lechuan River was watered, so that you can see the Jieyin Mountain now."

Liu Ting didn't look back, and he no longer felt sorry for the lamp oil at the moment, and chatted with Meng Wei while supporting the boat.

"It's tiring to say, it's not that I'm criticizing the god behind me, it's just, I've been holding a boat on this Lechuan River for 1,731 April 22 days, I used to only need to ferry once in ten days and half a month, and I can also return to the secluded capital in my spare time, have a few drinks, and go to Jieyang Mountain to fish and cook fish with Shen Tu and Yu Lei, and life is quite passable, until today, five times a day, this is really tiring."

"As usual, there will never be a rule of washing sins and reincarnating under the Lechuan River, but not now, I don't understand what is going on in this world, there are more and more new souls, and more and more people are dying, if this is another thousand years in the past, it is estimated that it is not only a problem of the old man and my ferry, I am afraid that there will not be more wandering souls in the secluded city, and in ancient times, the kind of wandering spirits were everywhere, and the ghosts were full of ghosts at night, I am afraid it will be repeated."

Therefore, it seems that the Great God of Houtu is really reopening reincarnation!

Originally, Houtu as the god of the central earth is already a great authority, it can be said that heaven and earth are equal, the earth and the sky are Qi, the sky is the god of Haotian, and the earth is the god of Houtu.

As a human race, it cannot be said that he is on an equal footing with Haotian God, but for the god position, he has expanded the function of the god to the maximum, and now he has added an authority to control reincarnation, or the authority to control the netherworld and ghost world, and Houtu will definitely become the most unquestionable and blasphemous god among all gods.

Listening to Liu Ting's description, this reincarnation of the reopening of the Houtu does not seem to be very sound, and in the face of the stumbling and growing population of the human race, it is now a little stretched, and the wandering soul is stranded on the bank of the Lethe River, with the help of Lethe River to relieve the pressure of reincarnation.

There is no helpless bridge, just rely on a small boat ferry, he understands Liu Ting's difficulties a little, it is indeed quite tiring, and without Meng Po here, looking at the vast Lechuan River, it is as disgusting as pus and blood, if it is put in a modern city, I am afraid that the accumulated soul is enough to fill the Lechuan River.

continued to chat with Liu Ting for a few words, and when he asked for more details about the Great God of Houtu, Lao Liu Ting couldn't tell a general situation, and Meng Wei stopped talking, and sat quietly on the bow of the boat, looking at the unwavering Lechuan River and the lingering fog in this world.

The bitter sea is boundless, sailing for about an hour, the scenery on the other side barely emerges in the thick fog, the same blooming flowers on the other side, the same long queue of spirits, in front of the queue of spirits, than the shore when they came, there is the outline of a city-state, faintly, with the thick fog up and down.

"Is that the Hidden Capital?"

"Yes, little young master, that is the secluded capital city built by us Houtu clan people two thousand years ago with a piece of soil and a handful of mud and sand."

Lao Liu Ting seemed a little nostalgic, the old time, although there was no magic power that could be said to be passable, the days were excellent, very free, in the time after Dayu's success in controlling the water, it was his happiest, the happiest memory.

Old Liu Ting's wrinkled old hand rummaged through the coat, found a bone flute polished white and shiny, and handed it over.

"The next level is the Ghost Gate, which is the gateway to the secluded capital guarded by the two gods of Shen Di and Yu Lei, the two of them are not as good at talking as the old man, this bone flute has been with me for more than a thousand years, the two of them know each other, the little young master takes this to them, maybe it can help you."

"Enter the Youdu City, go all the way to the center of the city, first go to the reincarnation hall to see the great priest, otherwise you won't be able to see the great god of the earth, don't remember, it's to see the great priest, not the young priest, if you meet the latter, the old man can only let you ask for more blessings."

The great priest, the god of life and death in charge of life and death in Chu, is one of the high-ranking gods of Chu State.

Shao Si Ming, the goddess of Chu who is in charge of fertility and heirs, is responsible for the birth of new children, and there are some authority to bless the growth of children and marriage.

Zhu Rongsheng co-worker, co-worker born Houtu, Zhu Rong's reign during the period of Emperor Zhurong was sealed as the southern god of fire, it was to go to Jing Chu, the later generations of Chu often took Zhu Rong's as the ancestor, and the big Si Ming and the young Si Ming are the original gods of the Chu State, I don't know if it is from this period, Chu culture and Central Plains culture began to integrate, and the big Si Ming and the young Si Ming have also come together with the Hou Tu clan since then.

Well, it is worth mentioning that in the nine songs of Chu Ci, Shao Siming is the most beautiful goddess in Chu Aside from the danger that Liu Ting said, if you can see the dignity, it is also an excellent thing.

"Why should you be careful of Shao Si's life? Could it be that she has a bad temper and likes to be angry? ”

Lao Liu Ting's face was a little strange, and he wanted to say goodbye several times, but he just thought that half of his lamp oil had been burned, and he still expected him to give a few good words to the gods, not to ask for a promotion and a salary increase, as long as he didn't let him ferry again, after more than a thousand years, he felt that he was already numb, and if he went on the ferry, he really wanted to throw all the wandering spirits into the Lechuan River.

Repeating an action for a long time, the iron beaten person can't stand the kind of boring loneliness.

"Alas, it's hard to say, anyway, you have to pass by the Shaomuro Palace, you will also see strange creatures in various forms, if you see it, you will naturally understand her terrible, I don't want to say more, I can only point to it."

Meng Wei was a little furious in his heart by these advices, but no matter how he is, he is his own person, so he shouldn't be unable to get along with himself.

The boat docked, and after Meng Wei got off the boat, he respectfully bowed to the old man who was squirming and restless on the boat, no matter what, this one also helped him a lot.

"Little young master, you must remember, the old man's name is Liu Ting, you talk to the great god of Houtu about Lao Liu Ting, he knows who I am."

"Don't worry, I'll tell him."

Looking at Meng Wei's distant figure, Liu Ting kept wiping the sweat from his palms on his body, until Meng Wei disappeared into the fog, he couldn't help but shout again: "Please remember, my name is Liu Ting, the judge of the Water Division on the banks of the Xiangshui River." ”

Listening to the voice behind him, Meng Wei couldn't help but laugh lightly, didn't speak in response, and walked silently towards the Youdu City.

This old fisherman is very interesting, obviously a selfish character, but he can be willing to ferry on the Lechuan River for a thousand years, and it is understandable that he wants to retire, after all, no one wants to stay in one thing for the rest of his life, and he will continue to do it all the time, whether Liu Ting mentions it or not, he also has the heart to tell his thoughts about the problem of the Lechuan River and the great god of Houtu.

Walking on the gravel road, the long queue continued to move forward in an endless stream, compared to when he just entered the cave, at this time Meng Wei had already put away the golden stick, not so restrained and nervous, no matter how terrifying the scene, after seeing too much, he would have a certain immunity, now looking at these wandering spirits, he felt some pity for them.

I don't know if I will meet Liu Ting again when I die one day, and if this old man can stop throwing him into the Lechuan River and let him go to reincarnation directly.

Terran, he never thought of immortality.

After advancing for a while, a gate gradually appeared in the fog, two stone pillars were a hundred feet high, and the vault in the middle was carved with various divine characters, but unfortunately Meng Wei couldn't recognize this kind of text that was very different from the mountains and seas, the present world and the Cangjie font, just looked at the shape, and guessed blindly: The ghost gate is closed!

On the two huge black and cyan stone doors, there are two strong figures, on the left door, dressed in colorful armor, with a majestic face, a divine posture, and it is the god who holds the golden halberd, and the one on the right door is naturally Yu Lei, wearing a black robe, his expression looks relaxed and comfortable, and there is no magic weapon or sharp weapon in both hands, but he just sticks out a palm, caressing the huge golden-eyed white tiger sitting beside him.

"The Great Wilderness North Classic": There is a sea in the sea, there is a mountain of Dushuo, there is a big peach tree, its Qu Pan is 3,000 miles, and the northeast between its branches is called the ghost gate, and ten thousand ghosts go in and out. There are two gods and men, one is called a god and the other is a Yu Lei, and the Lord reads and leads ten thousand ghosts.

These two are now guarding the ghost gate pass of the Youdu City, and the two of them are often called door gods, until Wei Chigong and Qin Qiong, they have always been the model of door gods spread by Jingchu culture.

After the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism competed, and the prototype of the underworld was born. It's just that the popularity is not as famous as Wei Chigong and Qin Qiong.

At this time, the two door gods on the stone door mural closed their eyes tightly, as if they were lifeless, just two ordinary stone murals.

Countless geists walked forward step by step, slowly passing through the gap in the middle of the gate, Meng Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and took advantage of the situation to cut into the queue of geists, embarrassedly said sorry to a pot-bellied geist brother behind him, and tried to follow directly into the ghost gate.

When it was finally time to get to Meng Wei, I saw the two door gods slowly open their eyes, and the white tiger under Yu Lei stared at Meng Wei with a pair of golden eyes.

"This is the territory of the secluded capital, don't enter the living!"

"Boy, why did you, a living man, come to the realm of the dead? What about the old willow head? Can he put you in? ”

I want to try this section, just like Dante's Divine Comedy, to read the classics of the Eastern Netherworld and ghost world, and then show it in combination with the background setting of the book, it will not be too long, little by little, the ghost mansion at this time has not been established.
