Sun Weimin and the other two passed through the "Golden Maze Formation" and walked down the tunnel for more than 20 minutes. They felt that the water vapor was getting heavier and heavier, and they could vaguely hear the sound of running water. Sun Weimin was thinking about what they would encounter next. Three of the five elements had passed, and only one wood had been saved. One earth had not been seen yet. It seemed that the next one must be related to wood. However, he did not know what kind of wood would be under the Zhanghe River.
When Sun Weimin was still thinking about the wood attribute, Old Hu suddenly stopped in front of him and said in surprise," Oh my god, this is too spectacular." When Old Hu said this, Sun Weimin looked up and saw that they were about to leave the tunnel. In front of them was a downward staircase with 30 to 40 sections. The terrain was also very open. It was really a big cave, the size of a stadium. The ceiling was more than ten meters high from the ground. It seemed to be a natural cave. After going down the stairs, there was an underground river. The river was more than ten meters wide. There was an iron chain bridge across the river, and it was covered with wooden planks. However, he did not know if it could still be used. There were two large bonfires on the opposite side of the river, one on the left and one on the right. For some reason, they were still burning. There seemed to be two rows of tall stone statues in the middle of the bonfire. There was a road in the middle of the stone statues, facing the iron chain bridge. At the end of the road was a large stone door. It was not clear what the door looked like from afar. However, Sun Weimin guessed that the place they were going to was inside, which was Cao Cao's ghost house.
Due to the bonfire, they could more or less see things clearly on this side of the river. It was just that it was relatively dark, unlike the other side, which was as bright as day and brightly lit. The three of them enjoyed the spectacular scene on the other side of the river before returning to the river. Sun Weimin went down the stairs and saw that the bridge was more than four meters wide. The iron chain was pulled into place, and there was a big stone tablet at the bridgehead. There seemed to be words on it. The three of them went over and shone their torchlights. The words "Bridge of Helplessness" were carved on the stone tablet in official script.
On the road to the Yellow Springs, there was the Wangchuan River. On the Wangchuan River, there was the Bridge of Helplessness. On the Bridge of Helplessness, there was the Homeward Viewing Platform. Beside the Homeward Viewing Platform, Meng Po sat. This was the scene at the entrance of the Netherworld. After death, one had to first pass through the gates of hell and then the Road to the Underworld. The River of Forgetfulness was the dividing line between the Road to the Underworld and the Underworld. The water of the River of Forgetfulness was blood-yellow in color. It was filled with lonely ghosts who could not be reincarnated. There were insects and snakes everywhere, and the fishy wind blew against their faces. There was a Bridge of Helplessness on the River of Forgetfulness. After crossing the bridge, it was the Homecoming Platform. After one died, the Homecoming Platform was the place where they bid farewell to their loved ones for the last time before drinking Meng Po's soup. There was a poem that said," The ghosts on the Homecoming Platform were in a panic, and tears flowed from their eyes." His wife and children, old and young, snuggled beside the coffin, and relatives and friends gathered in the mourning hall.”It was referring to the Homeward Viewing Terrace. Meanwhile, Granny Meng was making Granny Meng soup for the Yin souls who were going to reincarnate under the Homeward Gazing Platform.
Looking at the name of the bridge, the three of them were very uncomfortable. Fatty even grinned and said,"Isn't the Netherworld on the other side of the Bridge of Helplessness?"”
When Old Hu heard this, he was unhappy and said,"You believe in scaring people?" If this was really the Bridge of Helplessness, then what about Meng Po?”
" Who is calling me old man?" A hoarse voice came from the bridge. The three of them were shocked and looked over. They saw an old lady standing on the other side of the bridge. Her hair was white and her face could not be seen clearly.
Sun Weimin looked up and said to Old Hu and Fatty," This is a water monkey. Don't believe her nonsense." Water monkey was the meaning of water ghost. It was formed by the vengeful souls of people who drowned in the water. They always looked for substitutes for themselves on the top and bottom of the bridge or on the left and right sides of the bridge so that they could be reborn. Therefore, water ghosts were the most harmful spirits. The five elements emphasized that earth could restrain water, and people could rest in peace in the ground. Therefore, as long as a water monkey was killed, it had to find someone to replace it and get rid of the water gas before it could be buried. This was also the reason why the water ghost found a substitute to harm people.
Sun Weimin had just exposed the water monkey to Old Hu and the others, but the water monkey opposite him was unhappy. He said coldly," What an arrogant kid. How dare you scold me. If you're not afraid of me, would you dare to drink my Meng Po soup?"”As the water monkey spoke, she walked over to the bridge. Seeing her silent footsteps and her fierce gaze, it was very terrifying.
Sun Weimin saw that the water monkey was about to cross the bridge and immediately said," Three steps across the Bridge of Helplessness, and I will know whether you are good or evil." This was the couplet on the Bridge of Helplessness in the Netherworld. The reason why Sun Weimin said this was because there was a saying about bridges. According to Feng Shui, bridges could lead to the Divine Power Immortal Heaven Pass Nation, and they could also lead to the Underworld and Hell. It could be said that the three worlds were connected by bridges. There was a saying that a righteous person would cross a bridge and tread on flat ground, while a treacherous person would trip over a bridge with a hook and a knife. Sun Weimin shouted to break the bridge couplet because he wanted to respond to the reason of crossing the bridge and make it difficult for the person on the bridge.
After Sun Weimin shouted, the person on the bridge really didn't move. He angrily scolded," Even if I can't get through, you can forget about getting through!”It seemed that she had already tripped over the bridge. From her words, she seemed to be planning to stay on the bridge. This was also known as "ghosts blocking the way". As the saying goes, if a ghost blocks the way, Yang people should not approach. It seemed that this water monkey was quite troublesome.
Old Hu saw that they were about to reach the place, but he was actually blocked by a water monkey. He was extremely angry. He was not afraid now. Anyway, he had seen many ghosts today. It was not a big deal to have another water monkey. He cursed," You old thief! Do you believe that I will kick you into the river! Hurry up and get lost!"
After Old Hu scolded him, Shui Hou laughed and said," Then you can try to get on the bridge." Old Hu wanted to go up the bridge, but he felt something was wrong when he reached the bridgehead. He turned back and whispered to Sun Weimin," You should go. Help me take care of her." He was here to ask for help.
Sun Weimin wasn't afraid of this water monkey, but he didn't understand. Wasn't this related to the five elements wood? Why was there a water monkey blocking the way? When he saw that Old Hu had come to beg him, he put down the idea first. He came to the bridgehead and said coldly to the old lady," The three of us, can we borrow the bridge to cross?" When Sun Weimin asked this question, Fatty and Old Hu Ke behind him were puzzled. They wondered what this kid was doing. Why didn't he make a move? Why was he discussing?
When the old lady on the bridge heard this, she said coldly," I've been waiting here for more than a thousand years, just waiting for the substitute to appear and escape. Did you say that I could live?”Old Mrs. Han's meaning was clear. No way! If he didn't let her pass, it seemed that she really wanted to find a substitute.
Sun Weimin didn't care about the old lady's refusal and continued to ask,"Then can you cross the bridge and talk?"
When the old lady on the bridge heard this, her eyes revealed a look of surprise, but she immediately returned to normal. She sighed and said,"I've already been tripped by your hook knife."
Sun Weimin saw that she didn't want to come over, so he didn't urge her to cross the bridge. Instead, he asked," Then tell me, how can we cross the bridge?”
The water monkey seemed to be thinking about something and said,"One of you must stay behind to help me escape. The other two can cross." She meant that one of them had to go into the river to die so that she could find a substitute to escape.
When Old Hu and Fatty Wang heard this, they were furious. Fatty scolded," You f * cking wish! You're so old and shameless!"”
Just as Old Hu was about to scold him, the water monkey suddenly started crying. His cries were so miserable that people couldn't help but feel pity for him. The water monkey cried," I've been alone here for more than a thousand years and I can't escape. You guys pity me, pity my old bones. You don't know my suffering. The cold of the earth and water is like ice wrapping around my body, like needles piercing through my bones. It's like this every night, every day, and every year. There's still a day when I can escape from the eighteen levels of hell, but what about me? Could it be that I would never be able to make a name for myself? Did I deserve this? Why aren't you willing to help me? Why are you watching me suffer? As long as one of you goes down, I can get rid of this bitter sea. I will repay you in the next life. I beg you, just jump down. Wu wu wu. When the water monkey said this, he actually knelt down and kowtowed to Sun Weimin. The sound of the kowtow was loud, accompanied by the old lady's crying. It was really speechless. The old lady kowtowed and begged,"I beg you!" I beg you!" It made one's heart ache.
Just as Old Hu and Fatty Wang were at a loss for words, Sun Weimin, who was at the bridgehead, seemed to have been possessed. He actually jumped down from the bridgehead and fell into the river with a plop. At the same time, the old lady on the bridge disappeared.
All of this happened too suddenly. Old Hu and Fatty did not react in time. They did not expect this kid to really jump. When they finally reacted, they both shouted,"Little Sun! Little Sun!" The two of them rushed to the bridgehead like crazy. Looking down the bridge, there was no one there.
"Motherf * cker, this kid is crazy!”Old Hu stomped his feet anxiously and shouted to Fatty,"I'll go down and save him!" You stay here and watch!" With that, Old Hu also jumped down, leaving Fatty Wang on the bridge.
Fatty Wang waited anxiously on the bridge for three to four minutes. He was so anxious that tears came out. Sun Weimin! You guys f * cking come up! "Woo, f * ck, you guys come up, woo!" Fatty Wang cried for a while but still didn't see any movement on the water surface. He was anxious and threw his things away, jumping into the water with a splash. Fatty Wang felt a bone-piercing cold as soon as he entered the water, and his head was dizzy. He felt that something was wrong and wanted to swim upstream. Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed his ankle from below and pulled him into the water with all his might.
Fatty Wang knew that the water ghost was trying to harm him. He wanted to resist, but in this cold river, he couldn't exert any strength. It was as if his entire body was exhausted. He could feel the pain of the water rushing up to his brain from his nose. His head felt like it was being squeezed by something, as if it was about to split open. Gradually, Fatty Wang felt that everything was hazy, and his consciousness began to lose consciousness. He only knew that the damn ghost hand was still dragging him down. He gave up resisting and thought, Hu Bayi, Sun Weimin, where are you? Let's be companions on the road to the underworld. Fatty Wang thought like this until he completely lost consciousness.
(I got up early and wrote a chapter in a hurry. Everyone read it first. I'll continue in the afternoon.)
