Traveling through Douluo Continent: Book of Life and Death

City S of China in Blue Starfish.

A simple and simple building is located quietly in this city. It looks like it has a history of hundreds of years on the edge. The church is surrounded by towering ancient trees and the fragrance of flowers is hot. In the afternoon, there are only a few birds singing happily on the branches.

Everything around is so natural. Only in this church there are no priests, no pastors, no nuns. There are only a group of orphans and a few orphanages and teachers.

Here, most of the orphans who have been living alone since childhood were seriously ill and their families were unable to afford the huge medical expenses. They were abandoned by their parents and went through many hardships. After many hardships, they ended up here and were taken in by the mother-in-law of the dean.

No one knows about her mysterious dean. Not even the teachers in the courtyard know about her origins. The only one who knows about this church is the dean. She has private property, including food and clothing. There are also children, and the mother-in-law, the dean, always finds a way to get the treatment expenses.

At this time, it was bright in the afternoon, and the sun shone through the ancient and colorful windows. The mother-in-law in the room gently closed the book in her hand, took a sip of tea, stood up slowly, and took a cup. The person wearing a gauze scarf and using a cane opened the door and walked out through the long and quiet corridor. At this time in the corridor, she was the only one who was still resting. The sound of walking slowly echoed, and not long after she arrived. The person in front of Room 120 knocked lightly and asked, "Can I go in at Xiaoqi's?"

A voice from inside replied: "Please come in."

When the dean's mother-in-law opened the door, she saw a handsome young man leaning on the bedside with an old book in his hand. When he saw her coming, the young man smiled slightly and reflected the bright afternoon. The sunshine was refreshing and natural, and the breeze was blowing. Exuding warmth and warmth, a pair of starry eyes and a pair of sharp eyebrows, with a smile at this moment, it is like the first melting ice and snow in spring, rumpling the pond water and the breeze in the sunny summer.

The young man smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, you are here."

The dean's mother-in-law put the crutch aside and sat beside the bed. The person on the chair smiled and said: "What book is Xiaoqi reading?"

The young man smiled and said: "An old book from a hundred years ago tells the story of a young boy who grew up. I asked Teacher Li to help me find it in the bookstore."

The dean's mother-in-law sighed secretly and asked again: "There are also those who read less and rest more."

The young man said: "I know, mother-in-law, the dean."

The mother-in-law, the dean, asked: "How have you been feeling these past two days? Are you still not feeling well anywhere?"

The young man shook his head and said: "It's okay, Mother-in-law, you see I'm not lively now, don't you?"

The dean's mother-in-law looked at the beads of sweat on the young man's temples and his slightly trembling hands. She knew in her heart that the child was enduring great pain. She endured it all alone in order not to worry anyone, and she endured it all without speaking.

The boy's name was Tang Yuan because he had seven moles on his back that looked like the Big Dipper and a spoon, so everyone called him Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi was picked up by the dean's mother-in-law by the river when he was less than three years old. His mother-in-law, who was abandoned by his parents in the wilderness at the age of 16, took him back to the orphanage and found out that he was terminally ill and could not survive the age of 16. He was as lonely and lonely as most children. From then on, Xiaoqi has been in Those who stayed in the orphanage grew up slowly under the company of the mother-in-law, the director.

The dean's mother-in-law saw him for the first time in a river called Tang River. Since then, he was reborn by the river, so she named him Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan has been particularly smart, cute, kind and sensible since he was a child. He has a quiet temperament and is more considerate because he was tortured by illness since he was a child. His legs were paralyzed when he was nine years old and he can only sit in a wheelchair in order not to trouble everyone. He usually pushes his wheelchair to the courtyard and reads in a daze, or lies on the bed and reads.

Tang Yuan didn't have any hobbies, but he liked reading. He had read almost all of the books in the library of the orphanage. He had even read five or six times in the library of the orphanage. All the books were collected by the mother-in-law, the dean. , all kinds of strange things, people who came to see the books in the Tang and Yuan Dynasties were like a long dry book, and pedestrians couldn't put it down when they saw the clear spring.

Tang Yuan saw Yu You, the dean's mother-in-law, with slightly red eyes, smiled and comforted her: "My mother-in-law, it's okay. Don't worry too much."

The dean's mother-in-law forced a smile and said: "My good mother-in-law knows that you should be sensible and have a good rest and stop reading all the time."

Tang Yuan replied with a smile, "Okay."

The dean's mother-in-law went out with a cane and went straight to the infirmary where a young doctor in a white coat was working.

When the doctor saw the dean's mother-in-law arriving, he put down his hands, stood up and said hello respectfully: "Mother-in-law, the dean, you are here."

The dean's mother-in-law asked: "Xiao An's Xiao Qi, his condition..."

This doctor named Xiao An also once had an orphanage. The orphan was adopted by the mother-in-law of the dean. After that, he was diligent and studious and was admitted to the medical school. After graduation, he volunteered to return to the orphanage to help everyone. The mother-in-law of the dean was worried about delaying him. Qian Qian always disagreed, but Xiao An was determined and refused to leave no matter what, the dean's mother-in-law had no choice but to allow him to stay.

Dr. Xiaoan sighed quietly and said: "I'm afraid... I won't be able to survive the autumn..."

The dean's mother-in-law seemed to have already accepted the result, shook her head and left helplessly.

……

Time flies by and it’s already October.

The sound of hurried footsteps in the middle of the night woke up the silence. Many people in the night sky came to the door of room 120 and waited anxiously in the room. Not long after the situation passed, Dr. Xiaoan and several doctors opened the door and came out. Doctor Xiao An, who looked at everyone's anxious eyes, shook his head and sighed: "My mother-in-law, please go in. Xiao Qi is telling you what to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dr. Xiaoan turned away his head and his body was trembling, and his sobs suddenly spread throughout the room.

The dean's mother-in-law gently opened the door and walked into the room. She saw Tang Yuan lying on the bed, with a pale face and a few rosy colors. The dean's mother-in-law knew that this was a flashback, and he looked like he was as usual. Sitting on the chair with the crutches aside, he smiled lovingly: "Xiao Qi, why don't you read a book today?"

Tang Yuan knew that the dean's mother-in-law was comforting him, so Yu You also smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, I'm so tired today that I want to go to bed early and stop reading."

When the dean's mother-in-law heard this, her heart was filled with tears, but she couldn't bear it to be seen by Xiao Qi. Yu You stood up and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then you should go to bed early. Mother-in-law is gone."

After saying that, he turned around but could not take a step forward.

Tang Yuan sighed: "My mother-in-law, if it weren't for you, there would be no Xiaoqi. If it weren't for you, Xiaoqi would have died sixteen years ago. I can get along with you for so many years and read so many books. Xiaoqi is very good." My mother-in-law, who was very satisfied and happy, helped me tell everyone that I love everyone. If I were to be in the next life, I would still want to be with you."

After listening to the two lines, the mother-in-law burst into tears like spring water and said with a smile: "Silly boy, if you were born in the next life, you would be very happy. Why did you come to the orphanage?"

As he spoke, he turned around, only to see Xiao Qi's smiling face filled with happiness and relief, peacefully closing her eyes and leaving everyone forever.

The dean's mother-in-law walked tremblingly to the bedside and gently touched Xiao Qi. The tears in her hair could not be stopped and she said lovingly: "Go to sleep, good boy, and have a good rest."

……

It is said that Tang Yuan passed away from the human world, but he came to another place. This place has the Netherworld like no other.

Tang Yuan, who was in front of the gate of hell, looked at the dark and mysterious eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that at this time, his physical body was no longer there, and now only his soul was gone. Because he had been studying for many years, the pain of terminal illness had also disappeared. For this reason, his soul was very solid compared to the big ones. He seemed to have been reborn as a ghost, and now he didn't feel weak at all.

Tang Yuan looked at the two ghosts beside him, each wearing a high hat. One was black and the other was white. However, these two black and white ones were only one of thousands of incarnations.

"Have we, the two great immortals, arrived in the underworld?" Tang Yuan asked.

Hei Wuchang replied: "That's right, little brother, this is the end of the world."

It is said that when these two incarnations of black and white came to lure Tang Yuan to the human world, Tang Yuan was a little surprised that the three souls and seven souls of Tang Yuan were so bright and solid. It is a pity that the body that is too weak to be invaded is weakened by God's gift.

Tang Yuan followed the black and white impermanence from Guimen Pass to Huangquan Road and Wangxiang Terrace and arrived at the City of Wasted Death, but not long after he did not enter, he came to the Naihe Bridge.

Along the way, Tang Yuan found it strange that the black and white impermanence, which had ghosts in the underworld, would not be able to talk to the dead. However, Tang Yuan had no bad karma and had excellent soul qualifications. The black and white impermanence brought him a lot of merit. In a good mood, he chatted a few more words with Tang Yuan and introduced him to the underworld, its conditions and customs.

After arriving at Naihe Bridge, I saw a soup cook. As expected, Tang Yuan, the old lady in the soup, was the legendary Po Meng.

The black and white beside him did not dare to salute respectfully to Po Meng, but he saw Po Meng slowly put down her hand, and in the pot without fire on the stove, the thick soup was still boiling until Po Meng turned around. The visitor smiled at the three of them: "Here comes a man with a good soul. The child's reincarnation in this life must be a big chance."

When Tang Yuan saw the appearance of Granny Meng, he was shocked and blurted out: "Grandma dean?!"

Po Meng smiled when she saw him like this and said: "My child's old body has transformed into thousands of earth-bearing bodies. The people in your mouth have mine, but they don't have me either."

Tang Yuan didn't know the meaning of Meng Po's words, but he roughly knew that although Meng Po and the dean's mother were related, they were not the same person.

While she was talking, Po Meng had filled a bowl of thick soup and handed it to Tang Yuan's hand. She smiled and said, "Drink it and you will be reborn."

Although he didn't want to forget all the warmth and family affection in this life in the orphanage, what Tang Yuan was looking forward to in his heart also gave him great hope in the next life.

At this moment, when Tang Yuan was about to drink Meng Po Soup, he felt the world shaking violently, like an earthquake of more than ten magnitude, and an unstable Meng Po Soup fell to the ground.

Po Meng was shocked and said: "Who invaded Netherworld?!"

Before he could finish his words, he saw countless figures coming from the horizon as the world collapsed, and heard a voice that resounded throughout the world: "The devil belongs to the killing netherworld."

Upon hearing this, Black and White Wuchang couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Heavenly Demon?!"

Although Tang Yuan didn't know what the devil was, he also knew that if there was a soul that was in danger at this moment, it would really be like losing his soul and not entering the reincarnation. He turned around and there was no trace of Po Meng. Looking at the sky in the distance, it turned out that Po Meng had already disappeared from the sky. He started a life-and-death fight with the devil.

At this moment, the entire Netherworld was in chaos. Behind Tang Yuan, there were countless figures rising into the air. The two armies were fighting each other in an instant, and a war started.

Looking next to him, Tang Yuan, who was black and white and impermanent, was no longer around. What he saw around him were many undead souls just like himself, roaring and running away. A few of them were still running away, and were hit by several streaks of light in the process. The fragments dispersed between heaven and earth.

Tang Yuan was so shocked that he hid aside to calm down. Suddenly, he suddenly realized that there was someone from the Reincarnation Department who had crossed the Naihe Bridge. As long as he escaped there and was reincarnated, he would be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan raised his legs and ran towards the Reincarnation Department without saying a word.

After crossing the Naihe Bridge, the Reincarnation Department was right in front of him. Tang Yuan hoped in his heart that a bigger one would rush into the Reincarnation Department. Who knew that at this moment, a huge wave of waves enveloped the world, but he heard a sad cry: " Life and death are thin!"

Tang Yuan was far away and the impact wasn't too big, but even so, he was shocked and dizzy for a while before he recovered.

When he came back to his senses, he saw a page of black paper floating in front of him, with one side red and one ink floating in the air in front of him, exuding a faint mysterious aura.

Tang Yuan was curious, so he stretched out his hand to grab the piece of paper. At that moment, the paper exploded with a "bang" and turned into stars. Before Tang Yuan could react, all the bits of light had already rushed towards him. Everyone who came was integrated into him, between his eyebrows.

Tang Yuan was shocked and hurriedly touched up and down and found that he was not seriously injured. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt strange in his heart, Yu You, who still had to escape at this moment, turned around and rushed towards the Reincarnation Department.

Unexpectedly, another sudden change caused a burst of sky fire to fall from the sky and explode the Reincarnation Department. Tang Yuan was stirred up by the aftermath. Before he hit the ground, he felt a strong suction force coming from the Reincarnation Department and sucked him in.

Tang Yuan screamed and felt everything was spinning around him. For a moment, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
