"I choose the second option!" Shen Xianlai interrupted Meng Po and shouted.
Meng Po rolled her eyes at Shen Xianlai and said," Young people nowadays are really impatient. I haven't even finished telling you what the second option is, and you're already saying that you want to choose the second option. The second is to go to Ruo Shui to fill the river."
Before Shen Xianlai could understand what Meng Po meant by " filling the river at Ruo Shui ", he had already been thrown into the wide river five to six hundred meters away by Meng Po. That river was the river called Ruo Shui. There were three weak rivers. The one in the Heaven Realm was called the Heavenly River, the one in the Human Realm was called the Flowing Sand River, and the one in the Underworld was called the River of Forgetfulness. These three rivers were the source and downstream of each other. Although they were in the three realms, the weak rivers were connected.
It was said that the weak water had very little buoyancy, and even goose feathers could not float on it. In fact, not only goose feathers could not float on the River of Forgetfulness, even souls could not float on it. This was the reason why there were so many wailing ghosts under the Ruoshui River. Under the Ruo Shui, these ghosts continued to endure pain. Their grief even dyed Ruo Shui blood red.
The bottom of the River of Forgetfulness seemed to have a suction force on ghosts, preventing them from escaping. Some of the ghosts that were suffering in Ruo Shui were like Shen Xianlai. They didn't follow Meng Po's advice and were thrown down by her. Most of them were ghosts who had no chance to enter the cycle of reincarnation and were unfortunate enough to end up here. Ghosts released from the four hells or those who did not commit any crimes in the mortal world could be handed over to the last rotating king of the ten halls and sent to the mortal world for reincarnation. However, there were many ghosts who went to the human world to reincarnate, but not all of them could successfully reincarnate. Those who were unable to reincarnate would be thrown into the Ruo Shui by the power of reincarnation. Over time, the Ruo Shui would be filled with unjustly wronged ghosts.
The Cycle of Reincarnation, the King's Trial, and the Cycle of Reincarnation were the paths of reincarnation for ghosts. After drinking Meng Po's bewitching soup, crossing the Bridge of Helplessness and reincarnating was another path. The difference was that those who had been reincarnated would always remember the things of their previous life. Those who had been reincarnated through the Bridge of Helplessness would lose the effect of the bewitching soup in their next life, and they would remember the things of their previous life.
Very few ghosts could cross the River of Forgetfulness without sinking. Even if they flew above the River of Forgetfulness, they would be dragged down by the resentment of the many suffering ghosts at the bottom of the river and become one of the many water ghosts.
Legend had it that there was only one type of spirit that could cross the River of Forgetfulness, and that was the purest spirit. Only a spirit body with an absolutely pure heart could walk across the River of Forgetfulness without sinking, and could walk on the surface of the River of Forgetfulness.
After Meng Po threw Shen Xianlai into the River of Forgetfulness, she discovered that Shen Xianlai was actually such a rare spirit body. Once other ghosts were thrown into the River of Forgetfulness, they would immediately sink. Even if they could float on the River of Forgetfulness for a short period of time, they would soon be pulled down by the water ghosts at the bottom of the river. However, not only could Shen Xianlai walk freely on the River of Forgetfulness, he was not even afraid of the many water ghosts at the bottom of the river. The water ghosts had ferocious expressions as they looked at Shen Xianlai with hatred. They stretched out their hands, wanting to drag Shen Xianlai into the water and suffer with them. The thoughts of these water ghosts had been completely distorted by resentment and jealousy. They could no longer be called humans, but ghosts.
Some people were humans, and some were ghosts. Some ghosts were humans, and some were ghosts.
Those water ghosts desperately stretched out their arms towards Shen Xianlai, who was floating on the surface of the water. For a moment, the River of Forgetfulness seemed to boil. Countless arms stained with blood-red liquid stretched out from the bottom of the River of Forgetfulness towards countless tentacles. However, the arms of those water ghosts could not touch Shen Xianlai's body at all. To them, Shen Xianlai's body seemed to be invisible and untouchable. To the water ghosts who were filled with hatred and jealousy, Shen Xianlai was like a three-dimensional image that could be seen but could not be touched. To Shen Xianlai, these terrifying water ghosts were just terrifying images that couldn't affect him at all.
Shen Xianlai turned around and looked at Meng Po, who was also looking at him. Meng Po leaned on her dragon-headed walking stick, and a white porcelain bowl filled with bewitching soup appeared in her other hand. Seeing Shen Xianlai turn his head, Meng Po smiled at him and nodded. No one knew what she meant.
Meng Po was from the Underworld, and she was not under the control of the Ten Palaces. It could be seen that her power was not necessarily lower than the Ten Palaces. Shen Xianlai did not dare to walk in her direction, so he could only walk to the other side of the river. If she fell into Meng Po's hands a second time, only God knew what this old woman would do. Perhaps he would be forcefully bewitched.
Usually, people who were reincarnated through the Bridge of Helplessness would drink Granny Meng's soup first before being escorted across the Bridge of Helplessness by Granny Meng's ghost soldiers. Did that mean that the Yang Realm was on the other side of the River of Forgetfulness? People in the world of the living often call the netherworld the other shore. People in the netherworld often called the world of the living the other side. Was this what the so-called Nirvana Realm meant? The Yang world was on one side of the River of Forgetfulness, while the netherworld was on the other side? As Shen Xianlai thought about this, he ran wildly on the River of Forgetfulness. Ordinary people could not even swim across Ruo Shui, but Shen Xianlai could miraculously run on the surface of Ruo Shui. It was truly a wonder.
The width of the River of Forgetfulness was beyond Shen Xianlai's imagination. After running for an entire day and night, Shen Xianlai still could not see the other side of the river. In the netherworld, there was no distinction between day and night, so the so-called one day and one night was only a rough calculation by Shen Xianlai. He had been in the netherworld for too long, and Shen Xianlai could no longer accurately estimate the time. Thus, the time he calculated was not accurate.
After running for about half a day, Shen Xianlai suddenly saw some bright red on the horizon in front of him. As mentioned before, the water of the River of Forgetfulness had been polluted by the resentment of the many ghosts at the bottom of the river, and had already turned blood-red. However, the red color on the horizon that Shen Xianlai saw was different from the red color of the River of Forgetfulness. Although the water of the River of Forgetfulness was red, it gave people a dull feeling. It was a dark blood-red color that made people feel unfortunate. It was as if it had been left there for a long time, so much so that it was somewhat rotten. The bright red on the horizon in the distance was different. This red gave people a lively feeling. If the red color of the river was like a resentful woman who had suffered for decades, the red color on the horizon was like a teenage girl.
However, as Shen Xianlai drew closer to the red, he felt the hidden charm under the bright red. Under the innocent and lively appearance, there seemed to be something unfathomable hidden.
Finally, Shen Xianlai reached the other shore. Those bewitching red colors were the red spider lilies. The Paramita Flower, the flower could not see the leaves, and the leaves could not see the flower. These bright red flowers only grew on the bare stems. There were no leaves on the stems.
When he was alive, Shen Xianlai had seen this kind of flower. When it sprouted, it looked like garlic or daffodils? Perhaps it was because it looked like an open dragon claw. It was also known as the Dragon Claw Flower. When the flower bloomed, it was domineering, like a proud emperor.
The spider lilies that grew here were different. They did not have a bulb-like bulb, and their stems floated on the soft soil.
