Chapter 42: Crossing the Soul
As soon as the time arrived, a black cloud floated from the sky above the River of the Dead to cover the entire Lake of the Dead, and everyone's vision was dark, but they saw Ling Shuangyue wearing a red gauze robe, sitting in front of the wooden bridge, holding a jade flute in her hand and playing softly.
A resentful flute sounded, and the surface of the lake was full of waves, and the waves were surging.
However, in the red mist on the surface of the lake, a bridge faintly appeared, and the bridge overrode the wooden bridge, forming a "ten" interlaced situation with the wooden bridge.
The two bridges are exactly the same, except that the Soul Bridge that appeared out of thin air above is shrouded in red mist, and the overall appearance is a strange dark red, which corresponds to the moss-covered green bridge below.
A row of cyan candles lit up on each side of the Soul Bridge, and the candles fluttered in the wind and glowed with dim light. Ling Shuangyue stepped onto the Soul Bridge in thin steps, sat on the edge of the bridge, and then played another song.
It's just that this piece is different from the previous one, this piece has a cheerful rhythm and is pleasant, and the listeners are inexplicably happy.
Yu Yao had a faint smile on her face.
She suddenly remembered Yan Cang, he was riding a horse called Xiaobai, and there was a white birthmark on the horse's buttocks, which was indeed a little ridiculous compared to the black fur all over his body!
In fact, she didn't realize that there were countless family things, which were boring and depressing. My father was also unsmiling at himself, and he was extremely strict. The clan also has only respect for her, and never plays with her. In her few good memories, almost most of them are the laughter that Yan Cang brought her.
Ziying turned his head to look at Zhixue's smiling face, but he was a little surprised, he rarely saw a smile on her face, maybe it was the magic of this song that allowed him to see her smiling face. Seeing her smile, he also raised the corners of his mouth!
I don't know when, a black wave surged under the head of the Soul Bridge, and countless floating corpses rolled along with the waves. There are men and women, old and young. As the pitch of the song became higher and higher, the floating corpses seemed to come to life, twisting their hands and feet, dragging their scattered bodies and slowly climbing up the Soul Bridge.
Hongxian'er seemed to be used to this situation for a long time, and there was no trace of surprise in her eyebrows In the face of the terrifying floating corpse, Honglin'er still felt that the surprised appearance of the three people in front of her was more interesting.
"I like to see you look like you haven't seen the world!haha!" Hongxian smiled innocently, and continued: "The resentful spirits don't want to yearn for life, the song that Ling Shuangyue is playing now is called "Forgetting Worries", this song is extraordinary, it can make those resentful spirits temporarily forget their troubles, and voluntarily walk the transition soul bridge to the dead. ”
Looking at the three people with smiling faces, he continued: "Resentful spirits can forget pain, let alone people!
When the three of them saw the floating corpse, the smiles on their faces had already frozen.
This scene is rare to see once in a lifetime! The three of them opened their eyes wide in unison, and their eyeballs were about to bulge.
Purple Shadow, in particular, was the most focused, as he seemed to see a familiar figure in the group of corpses that were wriggling and climbing up the Soul Bridge.
When he looked closely, he was stunned, as if he was standing unsteadily and holding on to the door frame. Looking at the faint candlelight on the bridge, the corpse had long been unrecognizable due to the long immersion in the water, but the figure, the clothes, and the sachet carried around his waist, wasn't this his father Zihua, who had been missing for more than a month?
Excited, he rushed out of the house and ran towards the Soul Bridge.
"Childe!" Zhixue exclaimed, but she couldn't stop him, so she had to follow closely.
Ling Shuangyue, who was sitting on the Soul Bridge and playing the flute, motioned to him with his eyes not to come, but in vain. I had to continue playing the jade flute with my right hand, and with my left hand, I picked up a small wooden board on the Green Bridge, wiped the unknown red liquid on the Soul Bridge with my fingers, and quickly wrote a few words on it and threw it to Ziying.
Purple Shadow took it and took a look, "If you cross the soul bridge alive, you should cross it with a resentful spirit." ”
After only one glance, he tossed the stake aside and ignored it. He wanted to determine if that man was his father, and if so, how did he die, and who was the murderer!
Her arm was grabbed, and when she looked back, she saw that it was Zhixue, her eyes were full of anxious looks, "Childe, it's dangerous here, let's go back to the house first, okay?"
Red Line said that some evil spirits with strong resentment will bewitch your mind and take your soul with you, which makes Zhixue very worried.
"I'm going to make sure that person is my father!" Purple Shadow broke free from Weaving Snow's restraint and insisted on walking towards the Soul Bridge.
Seeing that Ziying was so resolute, Ling Shuangyue waved her hand at the red line.
Hongxian understood it, quickly ran over, and suddenly ran in front of Ling Shuangyue. Ling Shuangyue handed the jade flute to Hongxian Er, got up and jumped off the Soul Bridge. The red line made perfect and then played the jade flute, sat on the soul bridge, swinging his feet, and looked leisurely!
"Is the shadow boy insisting on moving forward?" Ling Shuangyue blocked the path of the purple shadow, "Do you know the consequences of trespassing on the Soul Bridge!"
Purple Shadow watched the corpse slowly walk on the Soul Bridge, and if she didn't go to check it out, it would be at the end. "Lady Frost Moon, please Haihan, I'll just go up and take a look!"
"Don't ...... it", Ling Shuangyue couldn't stop him, so she had to tell the anxious Zhixue, "He can't come back when he gets on the Soul Bridge!"
Zhixue was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled out her short sword and followed Purple Shadow all the way.
The Soul Bridge was in the middle of the Green Bridge, and seeing the purple shadow walking into the mist, Zhixue was even more scratched and ran over with her pace.
The black mist around the purple shadow turned into two human figures and wrestled with him.
Ziying took out the folding fan, although the internal strength was completely lost, the fist and foot kung fu was still good. It's just that the enemy he faces is just a cloud of fog, and he can't touch it. And the human form transformed by the mist punched and slapped, but it hit the purple shadow ten out of ten.
The purple shadow was in a hurry, and unfolded the folding fan towards the mist, and the mist that was blown away by the wind gathered together after a while to transform into a human form, defeating the purple shadow again and again.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Purple Shadow fell to his knees and couldn't get up.
A white figure approached him and helped him to his feet.
"Childe, come back with me!" Zhixue's words carried a slightly commanding tone. Purple Shadow looked at the Soul Bridge that was close at hand, but she was stubborn and refused to give up.
He broke free of Zhixue again, but he didn't expect that Zhixue stepped in front of him in one step, and with a wave of the short sword in his right hand, the blade of the sword pointed directly at his neck.
"You dare to swing your sword at me?" Purple Shadow scolded in a low voice, anger in his eyebrows.
Is he a stupid person? Ling Shuangyue said that he would definitely die if he got on the Soul Bridge, why was he so stubborn? Could he not understand human words?
Zhixue said loudly, "You'll die if you go up!"
"What's the big deal about dying! that's my father!" Purple Shadow roared.
The father was very loving, whether it was to his mother, the relatives of the clan, or the slaves of the family, he was very loving, and he was an irreplaceable dear relative to the two brothers.
"I won't allow you to die!" Weaving Xue's eyes were red, and the long sword in his hand trembled, he had never spoken so harshly to himself.
Purple Shadow rubbed her fists, "You think you can stop me?"
The tears in Zhixue's eyes slid down, leaving a shallow tear stain on her face, "Your subordinates must match your life!"
Seeing Zhixue crying, Ziying's heart tightened, "I don't need you to protect me so much, you go back to the wooden house immediately, Zhiyu is still waiting for you outside!
didn't want to cause her suffering, Ziying knew that Zhiyu was sincere to her. There was another person who was so good to her, why should he refuse?
"You idiot!" Zhixue scolded angrily, but quickly suppressed herself from sobbing. When did she say that she liked to weave rain, and asked him to mess around with the mandarin duck score.
The two-figure mist that wrapped around them suddenly turned into four, attacking the two people standing on the green bridge from different directions. Purple Shadow and Zhixue were powerless to resist and could only be beaten.
Zhixue found that she couldn't hit the fog at all, and she could only keep dodging, but she still hit one after another.
Seeing that the floating corpse walking slowly on the Soul Bridge was about to reach the two of them, the situation became more and more urgent, and the speed of the fog's moves became faster and faster.
There was a humanoid mist in his hand that turned into a mist long sword! Zhi Xue knew that the sword was fake, but the damage was real! And the mist happened to be behind the purple shadow, and he was still entangled with the mist in front of him, unaware of the danger behind him.
"Childe!" Weaving Xue exclaimed, and at the same time, she had already flashed behind the purple shadow, and used her back to block the long sword that stabbed at her.
The long sword pierced into Zhixue's back, and although there was no wound, Zhixue had already fallen to the ground, and her mouth kept spitting out dark red blood.
Purple Shadow was frightened and immediately hugged Zhixue in his arms, and his eyes fell with a sparkle of sparkling, "Zhixue!
Zhixue couldn't respond to him, she gulped out blood, dyeing all the white clothes red.
Yu Yao saw that the two were trapped on the green bridge, and the situation was not optimistic. "Lady Frostmoon, what is this mist?"
Ling Shuangyue's brows furrowed slightly, "This is the underworld soldier guarding the Soul Bridge, to prevent those resentful spirits from sucking their popularity and transforming when they transition to the Soul Bridge, but whenever a human approaches, the underworld soldiers will definitely kill them without mercy." ”
"What should I do then, how can I save them?" Yu Yao was also very anxious.
Ling Shuangyue thought for a moment and shook her head. finally took off the red gauze he was wearing and draped it on Yu Yao. "Put on this dress, the Mortal Soldier won't hurt you, you do your best!"
Yu Yao nodded, carried the Flower Shadow Sword, and rushed into the mist.
just ran in front of the two, but he didn't expect Zhixue to be unconscious. Without thinking, Yu Yao draped the red gauze she was wearing over Ziying, "Take her back to the wooden house!"
Ziying was also frightened by the blood on Zhixue's body, and forgot to ask Yuyao what to do, so he rushed out of the mist with Zhixue in his arms.
