Chapter 44: The Other Side of the Lethe River

After crossing the 'Lethe River', apart from the first few strange laughs, the blind man seemed to have nothing else to do, but walked forward in silence.

"What's wrong?" Pan Ying asked tentatively.

Seeing that they were about to come to an end, the blind man and Pan Ying suddenly quickened their pace.

In this way, Dou Dabao and I also had to step up to accurately remember the foothold of the two.

At the moment when the two people in front of them stepped ashore, the blind man suddenly let out a low strange laugh of "hey, hey, hey".

"Lao Liu, what are you laughing at?" Dou Dabao couldn't help but ask.

As soon as he spoke, I knew I was going to spoil the food, so I took two steps and walked towards the shore.

The blind man seemed to have been immobilized, and he was stunned and could not move, and I was feeling puzzled, when he suddenly raised his hand and opened my hand, and ripped off the talisman on the door of his head, and asked angrily:

One foot was still in the air, and I heard a slight collapse sound around me.

At the same moment, Dou Dabao exclaimed in surprise, and his body tilted to the side.

I'll go, dare to 'forget' everything that just happened!

I gritted my teeth violently, threw the meat floss ashore first, and as soon as my right foot hit the ground, I threw Dou Dabao to the shore with all my strength without looking back.

Again, this time the incident is beyond my understanding. The Extreme Yin Land I thought of earlier may not be an ordinary Yin Soul gathering place...... In a word, we are now in the place...... I don't dare to say anything more about keeping you and me inseparable, but I still have to say - be careful. ”

"Damn, get out of here!"

For some reason, Dou Dabao suddenly scolded, and was thrown to the shore immediately after.

As soon as I landed my feet on the shore, I heard a continuous "poof" popping sound behind me.

Looking back, I almost sat on the floor.

The pontoon bridge we came over just now, the stone slabs on the bridge deck were pierced through countless holes, and in each hole there was a white hand bone without skin and flesh, constantly opening and closing and grasping, making a "click" sound that made the ears drumming numb and the scalp exploded.

I suddenly realized that the reason why the blind man walked along a specific foothold was because the thickness of the stone slab on the bridge deck was different, and the difficulty point was different.

Dou Dabao was distracted by his strange smile and stepped on the stone slab at the last moment. The reason why he scolded was because he was caught by the hand bones sticking out from under the slate!

I was so angry that I could no longer hold it back, so I rushed to the blind man and grabbed him.

Just as he was about to speak, his body suddenly shook, and his eyes looked at me a little blankly, "What...... What's wrong? ”

I grabbed his collar with one hand, took out a talisman with the other, recited the mantra, and "snapped" the talisman paper on his head, staring at him to see his reaction.

The blind man seemed to have been immobilized, and he was stunned and could not move, and I was feeling puzzled, when he suddenly raised his hand and opened my hand, and ripped off the talisman on the door of his head, and asked angrily:

After all, there is a limited amount of space underground.

"What are you doing?!"

Before I could respond, there was a "poof" behind me...... Grunt...... "a messy sound."

But the stone statue still standing on the opposite bank reminds us that we have indeed crossed the river on a pontoon bridge......

"Look!" Dou Dabao shouted.

I hurriedly turned around and saw the scene in front of me, and I couldn't help but gasp.

After the bridge deck cracked, those outstretched claws clung so hard that the pontoon lost its balance, and inky black water poured into the cracked hole.

In the blink of an eye, the entire bridge was already tilting.

"Don't think about it now, just follow Liu Bing."

As the bridge deck sank, the object of the puff-bearing stone slab finally emerged.

It turned out to be a large water tank with a diameter of about one meter!

As this thought deepened, it seemed that some doubts were no longer doubts, but at the same time more mysteries followed.

The claw came out of the vat, and it couldn't have been a single human hand bone.

These tanks contain the remains of an unknown number of people......

"Woo woo woo ......"

I thought he would ask what had just happened, but I didn't expect him to just look left and right, then stare at me, and say with a solemn expression:

As the pontoon sank, the sound of crying began to be heard on the surface of the river, at first it was just whimpering and sobbing, and then it turned out to be like dozens or hundreds of people wailing in despair at the same time.

This cry seems to have substance, drilling into the body along every pore of the person, making people feel cold all over the body, but the limbs are stiff and cannot be escaped.

After a long time, the crying gradually subsided, and the river returned to its previous calm, as if nothing had happened.

But the stone statue still standing on the opposite bank reminds us that we have indeed crossed the river on a pontoon bridge......

Dou Dabao woke up from the shock, ran to Pan Ying, and shook her shoulder:

"Pan Pan, are you alright?"

Pan Ying's eyes showed the same blankness as before the blind man, and he stared at the river for a while before scratching his head and saying:

It's not that I regret coming to Xu Jie, but ...... I shouldn't have let my brothers and sisters accompany me on the adventure.

"There seems to be something across the river...... By the way, have you figured out how to cross the river? ”

I'll go, dare to 'forget' everything that just happened!

It was now certain that Di Jinlian had indeed followed.

Although I don't know why she was able to leave the Di family's old mansion so quickly, it is certain that she did not come here to harm anyone, and the most likely thing is to protect Pan Ying.

But what I can't figure out is that when the blind man pulled her across the bridge, Di Jinlian was obviously beside me and Dou Dabao, how could she keep 'sync' with the blind man, and make this kind of 'self-protection measure' that turned a blind eye and forgot about it later?

I was puzzled when Di Jinlian's voice suddenly came from my ears again:

"Don't think about it now, just follow Liu Bing."

Again, this time the incident is beyond my understanding. The Extreme Yin Land I thought of earlier may not be an ordinary Yin Soul gathering place...... In a word, we are now in the place...... I don't dare to say anything more about keeping you and me inseparable, but I still have to say - be careful. ”

I grabbed Dou Dabao, who wanted to step forward to question the blind man, and nodded at the blind man as if nothing happened:

"Hurry up."

The blind man was stunned for a moment, nodded, turned and walked in one direction.

Dou Dabao and I looked at each other and motioned for him to be calm.

The blind man did have a problem, but my talisman didn't work for him.

This means that he is not possessed by a demon, or that there is something attached to him that I do not understand.

The blind man did have a problem, but my talisman didn't work for him.

It was all up to the blind man to lead the way here, and no matter what happened to him at the moment, he could only listen to Di Jinlian first.

I followed and took a few steps forward, turned around, and took one last look at the stone statue on the opposite bank.

Suddenly, a strange and wonderful thought came to my mind.

After crossing the 'Lethe River', apart from the first few strange laughs, the blind man seemed to have nothing else to do, but walked forward in silence.

As this thought deepened, it seemed that some doubts were no longer doubts, but at the same time more mysteries followed.

Legend has it that there is a river between the yang world and the netherworld, and the river is full of lonely spirits and wild ghosts who cannot be reincarnated.

This river is called the Lethe River.

After crossing the 'Lethe River', apart from the first few strange laughs, the blind man seemed to have nothing else to do, but walked forward in silence.

There is a bridge on the Lechuan River called Nai Ho Bridge.

There was an old woman sitting by the bridge, named Meng Po.

But if the yin soul wants to go to reincarnation, he must drink Meng Po soup, forget the past, pass the Nai He Bridge, and cross the Lechuan River.

If there is a ghost obsession and can't forget the previous life, then when you cross the Nai He Bridge, you will be pulled down the river by the lonely ghosts in the river.

Although the blind man and Dou Dabao learned the lesson of the previous night, they only brought a small bag with them, and their condition was similar to mine.

The four of us, plus a dog, all belong to the Yang world.

That river can't be the real Lechuan River, and the one you passed just now is not a real Nahe Bridge.

But why is everything that Fang has just experienced so similar to the legend......

After crossing the 'Lethe River', apart from the first few strange laughs, the blind man seemed to have nothing else to do, but walked forward in silence.

I chased him and peeked at his expression more than once, only to see him striding forward with a blank face from beginning to end, as if he had really forgotten the past and rushed to reincarnate as a ghost.

I couldn't tell what I was worried about.

I don't know what really happened to the blind man.

But I regret it, I really regret it.

It's not that I regret coming to Xu Jie, but ...... I shouldn't have let my brothers and sisters accompany me on the adventure.

Dou Dabao caught up and pulled me.

I walked two slow steps to avoid the blind man.

Dou Dabao asked in a low voice:

"Have you noticed that Lao Liu is still walking along the river, but he is going down?"

I nodded and whispered:

"Follow him, no matter what happens to him, we can't leave him behind."

"Nonsense." Dou Dabao rolled his eyes.

I smiled bitterly.

I don't really know what to say or what to do next except talking nonsense.

After all, there is a limited amount of space underground.

But if the yin soul wants to go to reincarnation, he must drink Meng Po soup, forget the past, pass the Nai He Bridge, and cross the Lechuan River.

As we walked along the underground river, when we were about to run out of way, the blind man suddenly put his hands behind his back and walked towards a slope on the side without looking back.

We followed him, and though we didn't say anything, everyone was very confused.

If you go up the slope, it's just a stone wall, and there's no road at all!

That's when I realized a more serious problem.

That's when the light of the flashlight starts to wane.

After such a long time, the battery is running out of power.

I only had one flashlight with me, and I only had one set of batteries in my backpack, and the rest of the spare batteries were left in the Grey Immortal Temple.

The solid fuel and tinder that you carry with you are only used for emergencies and cannot last long.

Pan Ying originally came out for convenience and didn't bring anything.

Although the blind man and Dou Dabao learned the lesson of the previous night, they only brought a small bag with them, and their condition was similar to mine.

"You used the talisman to suppress the dragon ruler's magic vein!" My eyes widened in astonishment.

If we can't leave this mysterious place within a certain period of time, and when the light source and spark run out, we will not be able to move an inch, and then there will be only one result...... We will all remain in this place of uncertainty forever......

Just when I was feeling anxious, the blind man in front of me suddenly stopped.

Dou Dabao and Pan Ying and I stopped at the same time, stood side by side with the meat floss, and looked at him in a daze.

The blind man stood there scratching his head, spun around at his feet, and winked vigorously at us.

"What's wrong?" Pan Ying asked tentatively.

"Don't think about it now, just follow Liu Bing."

The blind man frowned at her, habitually waved his hand, and took the compass from his bag.

Looking at the way he looked down and focused, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Again, this time the incident is beyond my understanding. The Extreme Yin Land I thought of earlier may not be an ordinary Yin Soul gathering place...... In a word, we are now in the place...... I don't dare to say anything more about keeping you and me inseparable, but I still have to say - be careful. ”

Although I still don't understand what happened, I can be sure that the feeling he gives me now is that he is the original Feng Shui Liu and Liu Blind!

It seems that after all the way, when I arrived here, the real blind man inexplicably returned!

The blind man looked at the compass for a while, raised his head, and after a short moment of confusion, his eyes swept over us.

"Are you completely awake?" Dou Dabao also saw the key.

The blind man's eyes rolled smartly, as if he was thinking.

Soon, he fanned one hand in front of him, as if he were chasing a fly.

Then he walked briskly back.

The blind man also nodded, put away the compass, and took out the dragon ruler from his bag.

From a distance, the end appears to be just a mountain wall.

Looking for the dragon ruler is here, and the general yin and evil spirits can't get up to his body.

When I got to the front, I found that the stone wall was not only wrong, but on the side of this section, there was an artificially excavated stone door!

We hurried to keep up.

"You used the talisman to suppress the dragon ruler's magic vein!" My eyes widened in astonishment.

With that, he turned around and walked up the slope.

I thought he would ask what had just happened, but I didn't expect him to just look left and right, then stare at me, and say with a solemn expression:

Along the way, more doubts were solved one by one.

That is, when he took out the dragon ruler, he took off a piece of yellow paper on it and threw it on the ground.

Again, this time the incident is beyond my understanding. The Extreme Yin Land I thought of earlier may not be an ordinary Yin Soul gathering place...... In a word, we are now in the place...... I don't dare to say anything more about keeping you and me inseparable, but I still have to say - be careful. ”

I noticed one detail.

The blind man did have a problem, but my talisman didn't work for him.

When I reached the end of the slope, I just looked at it and I froze my breath.

"You and I both know that there are too many unanswered questions in this world. We barely have any equipment with us, we can't afford to spend it, so hurry up. ”

The blind man's dragon ruler is not an ordinary thing, in addition to measuring the wind and water potential, it also has the effect of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

"What's wrong?" Pan Ying asked tentatively.

I never thought that he deliberately obscured the magic lineage of the Dragon Ruler, and he deliberately let some unknown evil dominate him, and then brought us here......

Because the stone wall is already rugged, and the light is dim, if you don't look carefully, you can't see the mistakes and unevenness at all.

I nodded.

"Don't be stunned, be vigilant, I said, my ability is limited, and the situation here is beyond my understanding."

The blind man seemed to have been immobilized, and he was stunned and could not move, and I was feeling puzzled, when he suddenly raised his hand and opened my hand, and ripped off the talisman on the door of his head, and asked angrily:

But when I got to the front, I found that there was a corner on the stone wall.

But if the yin soul wants to go to reincarnation, he must drink Meng Po soup, forget the past, pass the Nai He Bridge, and cross the Lechuan River.

The blind man said in a deep voice:

The blind man rubbed his nose, raised his chin at me, and whispered:

The blind man rubbed his nose, raised his chin at me, and whispered:

The real blind man has indeed returned.

I nodded again.
