72. The road opens yin and yang (down)
"It's time to get to the Hidden Capital City ahead!"
Bai Wuchang shouted, breaking the silence for a long time.
Meng Xu'an raised his eyes, and through the thinning mist, he finally saw the end of the path.
A wide black water surrounded the looming city. Within the hundred-zhang high city wall, the temples are overlapped and scattered, layer after layer straight to the sky, and the highest place is hidden in the dark clouds at the top, revealing a faint golden light.
"That is Lethe River, the boundary river of the two worlds of yin and yang. After crossing that river, mortals say goodbye to the past and enter the netherworld. Ye Yao whispered.
The river is foggy, and there is no wind or waves. The river is unfathomable, and it is impossible to see where it flows, and the vastness seems to swallow everything.
Meng Xu'an was a little surprised, "Let's come to this point, or is it the road to the world?!"
"Of course—"
Ye Yao raised her eyebrows, and said mysteriously: "Didn't you find out that the two ghosts crossed people according to the rules of the world? The shackles of the felons are still the Great Xia system! Whoever is on the territory will act according to whomever the rules, this is the common rule of the Six Realms." ”
"The Great Xia system, why do I say it's so familiar!" Meng Xu'an patted his head, and then asked, "Do all beings from all walks of life know these rules? Why don't I know?"
Ye Yao waved her hand, "Between other circles, it was agreed tens of thousands of years ago, and now everyone naturally knows about it. However, the unification of Kyushu in the human world is still short, and many contracts are not perfect, so it is only that other circles must abide by the rules in the world, and the human race can be happy and come to other realms. ”
"How were the rules discussed? How were they decided?" Meng Xu'an wanted to ask when he encountered a question.
"Use the 'Emperor Ding'......"
Ye Yao's voice became lower and lower, "As long as you master the secret calligraphy door, you can use it to reach the heavens, go down to the netherworld, and even communicate with the three worlds of gods, demons, and demons. In the "General History of the Six Realms", it is said that three hundred years ago, His Majesty Meng Yuyang, the ancestor of Great Xia, used it to repeatedly negotiate with other circles, and finally settled on the "Book of No Difficulties in the Six Realms", which was very beneficial to the human race. ”
I see! Meng Xu was shocked. No wonder the "Emperor Ding" can't be activated, the father will be so depressed, it turns out that there is such a mystery behind it.
When he woke up from the dream, he went to the altar to see it once, but he didn't find any trace of the copper tripod, I don't know if something happened later, or if his father ordered it to be put away......
Seeing that he was stunned when he heard it, Ye Yao felt proud.
Patting him on the shoulder, he said very proudly, "I have a manuscript of those scrolls." If you want to see it, I'll leave it to you. But you can promise me that you must not try to cultivate immortals! As a mortal, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue and seeking a better future life is the right way. ”
Knocking on her forehead, Meng Xu'an smiled and said, "I don't have a good life in this life, what do you expect in the next life!"
......
There was some congestion ahead, and the line slowed down suddenly.
Looking up, at the simple wooden gate ferry, the undead were lining up in an orderly manner to cross the river.
"Plop—"
"Plop!"
"Whoa—la-la-"
Each undead jumped into the water and swam to the other shore with all their might, and the black and white impermanence behind them vanished.
"You see, the bamboo building over there is the 'Merit Station', where the Pure Beings of the Six Realms exchange 'merit' for spiritual power. I come every three years, from ...... Over there, do you see that cliff? The wall is thousands of feet, but it is high, and the wind above is terrifying! Eh——, look over there, there are endless leafless red flowers! It is called Manzhu Sahua, and it was only born on the banks of the Lechuan River, and it is undefeated all year round......" Ye Yao introduced excitedly as she moved forward.
Meng Xu'an suddenly stopped, his face was embarrassed, and he pointed to the undead who crossed the river and said, "Shall we swim over too?"
"What, you don't know how to water?" Ye Yao said with an eyebrow.
Meng Xu'an frowned, and said with a strong momentum: "Why not! I just don't want to wet my clothes......
Ye Yao sneered, "Even if you want to swim, I don't dare to let you swim! If you don't want to be a wooden man for the rest of your life, it's best not to touch a drop of water. ”
Getting closer and closer to the ferry, you can vaguely see the two strong characters "Youdu" on the head of the city on the opposite bank.
"It's here—"
Ye Yao threw the umbrella into the air, raised her fingertips, and whispered a spell.
The paper umbrella swirled, dropped a few beams of light, and fell to the ground, turning into four Xuan Zhenzi.
One by one, they looked left and right, figuring out where they were, and their surprised expressions gradually calmed down.
"I am incompetent below, and I regret that I am separated from the yin and yang of all Taoist friends. Ye Yao bowed sideways.
Xuan Zhenzi waved the dust and smiled peacefully: "Eh, where is Xiaoyou! I am not good at learning and art, and I am plotted by demons, I am very grateful for your hard work to send us here!"
Tang Feng rubbed his neck and arched his hand: "Fellow Daoist can send us here, it seems that we have won the battle in our dreams." It is our vocation to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, thank you for keeping the dignity of the Purifier of the Six Realms!"
"Girl, count yourself on righteousness!" the ghost knife carried the big knife, and hummed a few words between his teeth.
Murong Jin staggered, pointed to the city wall on the other side of the river and sighed, "Oh, I'm finally here again." Unexpectedly, so many resentful spirits and fierce spirits were sent, and this time they wanted to go in!"
......
"Do you want to cross the river quickly, and the sun will go down in a moment, and the gates will be closed. A Bai Wuchang who had just sent the undead he had crossed down the river kindly reminded.
Before Ye Yao could say thank you, he disappeared in front of his eyes.
Xuan Zhenzi returned to the team, waved to Ye Yao and said, "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, Xiaoyou go back." ”
The ghost knife followed and squeezed in, "Yes, let's go——, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be lost by your majesty." ”
Tang Feng bowed, "Thank you two." If you see the tutor, please tell him. ”
"Alas——, Yunmeng! Using my 'Yin Yang Umbrella' to shuttle Yin and Yang is much more comfortable than walking in the Demon Abyss, right? It will be given to you, and in the future, you must make the best use of it, so that it can continue to shine in the Six Realms. ”
Murong Jin cut the crown of his haircut, pulled the sleeves and the edge of his robe, and then walked into the team slowly.
Seeing that it was their turn, Ye Yao didn't have time to say more, and arched her hand: "A few Taoist friends, please cross the river, and we will wait on the other bank." Since I have sent you here, I will not be able to go back with confidence until the court is finished and you know where you are going. ”
......
Seeing them jump down the river one after another, Meng Xu'an asked with concern: "If you don't know how to water, how can you cross the river?"
Ye Yao replied casually, "Then pounce on it! The left and right are already dead, and they will not be drowned again." ”
Meng Xu'an was shocked, and he didn't want to look at the bottomless black water anymore.
Ye Yao walked to the bank of the river, pulled off the wooden hairpin on her head, threw it into the water, and recited the "Ruyi Seven Character Formula" with both hands.
The hairpin rolled in the water, and immediately turned into a sturdy wooden boat and stopped firmly on the water.
