Yu Beiming looked at the desolate world around him and couldn't help asking, "Why has it become like this? What about your country? What about your people?"

The queen smiled foolishly: "Where is the country, where are the people? Everything is just an illusion created by me because I am too bored."

It was just an illusion, but it was so realistic that even Sang Feiwan and Yu Beiming couldn't see through it. What kind of strength was this?

She pointed to the winding river and said, "That is the legendary Mother-Child River. The souls of all the baby girls who died young will stay in this river. As long as the river water does not dry up, I, the river keeper, cannot leave."

"In the early years, the river was very wide and filled with resentment. You couldn't see the other side. Now the river has become a gentle stream, the number of wronged souls in the river has gradually decreased, and the resentment has also faded a lot."

Sang Feiwan and Yu Beiming exchanged glances, both hearing something unusual in the words just spoken.

"Who are you?" It was Sang Feiwan who asked the question.

"Who am I?" The queen smiled lightly. "I am just a river guard. I have been guarding the river for too long. I have forgotten what day it is and my real identity and name. No one in the world cares who I am. Why are you asking me again?"

She was still extremely beautiful and young, but at this moment her face was filled with fatigue and the vicissitudes of life.

She waved her hand impatiently: "Forget it, forget it. Since you have already broken my trap, you can't be trapped here anymore. Go wherever you want!"

"The Kingdom of Women is no longer interesting. I need to think about what kind of world I should create next to pass the time."

Yu Beiming flipped his palm and took out a mirror and handed it to her: "I'm sorry, I broke my promise before. This is a spiritual weapon I got by chance, as an apology."

"This mirror can reflect the outside world. When you have nothing to do, you can look through the mirror and see the changes in the outside world."

The Queen took the mirror and looked down.

The mirror was bright enough to reflect her beautiful face.

But the next moment, a picture suddenly appeared on the mirror -

On the busy streets, people in modern clothes hurried by, and in the distance, iron boxes whizzed by at high speeds.

"What is this?" His originally weathered eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Yu Beiming explained: "This small mirror can connect to all the mirrors in our world. When you are bored, you can just watch a video and scroll through it."

The queen looked left and right at the picture in the mirror, and the more she looked, the more curious it became.

After watching for a while, perhaps she got tired of the scene, and her mind moved, and the mirror also followed her and changed the scene.

This time, what appeared on the mirror was a mist of water vapor, and the picture was also hazy.

After a while, the picture gradually became clear.

What appeared before my eyes were a few shirtless men with their buttocks exposed!

Sang Feiwan's expression froze for a moment, and then he looked away.

Yu Beiming grabbed the mirror in panic, and with a wave of his hand, he switched away the disgusting scene.

"Ahem!" He coughed awkwardly twice and handed the mirror to the queen again. "Be careful when switching. Don't cut to places like the bathhouse that violate privacy. It's against public order and good customs. You can look at more scenes of city roads, famous mountains and rivers."

The queen asked: "Bei Ming, do you have a mirror next to you? Will I still be able to see you in the future?"

Yu Beiming subconsciously looked at Sang Feiwan.

Sang Feiwan was looking at something on the river with a serious look on his face, and seemed not to notice the conversation between the Queen and Yu Beiming at all.

Yu Beiming replied: "Although there are mirrors in my house, my apprentices usually take pictures more often."

"Is that so?" The queen seemed a little disappointed, but then she smiled again, "I like this gift very much. Bei Ming, thank you."

Although the mirror was a treasure, Yu Beiming rarely used it, which was really a waste of resources.

Giving it to the Queen would be just the right thing to do.

The queen was in a good mood after getting the mirror, and suddenly took the initiative to speak:

"You guys are reluctant to leave, are you trying to find those eight girls?"

"Although I don't have the person you are looking for here, I can point you in a direction."

She pointed to the Zimu River and said, "The Zimu River is full of infant spirits, with one exception. Her name was Ah Ying, and after her death she has been wandering on the river, searching for her lost child. But more than a hundred years have passed, and she still hasn't found it."

"Her obsession still contains unresolved resentment from her lifetime. Normally, it does not affect the living world. Occasionally, when she encounters some special situation that brings out her resentment, she will paddle a small boat and sing sad songs to lure people over."

"She brought you here. Sometimes the people she brought here would also fall into the illusion of her previous life, and if they couldn't get out, they would die."

At this moment, a very sad song came from the end of the mother and child:

"Husband, please take good care of our home~~

My lady, I am about to go on a long journey.

I hear you crying.

Sad or secretly happy~~"

Along with the mournful singing, a shabby little wooden boat slowly came over.

A woman with long hair and ragged clothes stood at the bow of the boat, rowing the boat again and again.

The song remains the same, telling her life story in a plaintive and tearful manner.

"Husband, please take good care of our son~~

My lady, I am about to go on a long journey.

I heard the child crying,

Are you hungry or are you sad~"

Where does she come from and where is she going?

A helpless ghost with nowhere to go.

I can only wander aimlessly on this ghost river.

"Ahhhh...

My son, do not be afraid.

Mother didn’t abandon you~~"

"Ahhhh...

I'm about to go on a long journey,

After returning, where is my home~~"

I watched the boat approaching from afar, and then it was right in front of me and was about to go away.

Yu Beiming and Sang Feiwan thanked the queen together.

Then, the two of them jumped up at the same time and landed on the small wooden boat, and the boat sank slightly.

The woman rowing the oars seemed unaware of the two extra people on the boat and continued singing her ballad:

"Ahhhh...

I'm about to go on a long journey,

After returning, where is my home~~"

The small wooden boat swayed and slowly sailed away into the distance.

Sang Feiwan stood on the boat and looked down at the river. She saw babies swimming around in the river like fish.

She sighed: "They all actually have the opportunity to reincarnate, but they are unwilling to leave here."

In recent years, the ratio of men to women in the world has gradually become unbalanced. Isn't this a kind of retribution?

Suddenly, a woman's face emerged on the surface of the river. She was terrified and struggled to break free from the water.

It’s Aunt Cui.

She had been left at the bottom of the river. Day after day, her soul was washed away by the river water. Unless her sins were washed away, she would never be able to leave.

Aunt Cui stretched out her hand, trying to ask Sang Feiwan for help on the boat.

But there were countless pairs of small hands around her, holding her tightly and dragging her into the abyss.

Sang Feiwan just turned his eyes away indifferently and had no intention of saving her.
