Death Spell

Chapter 161

The sound of shallow breathing, the sound of footsteps approaching and far away, lingered in my ears in a complicated manner, as if they never stopped.

Chirping noise, what is this?

Are people talking?Do people talk about these topics of reincarnation?

Anya frowned slightly, and slowly opened her eyes. The dilapidated tiled house covered half of the dark sky. Is it cloudy?But this sky seems a bit too depressing.

And the house is so old that you can apply for a dangerous house. Most importantly, why is she here?Isn't she... supposed to be on the snow mountain of Kunlun?

Kunlun Snow Mountain...

Anya raised her arm and gently rubbed the center of her brows. What flashed through her mind was Tang Song's final frowning expression. Her eyes froze for a moment, yes... Falling off a cliff, didn't she fall off a cliff...

Anya stood up and looked back at the place where she was lying down just now. Since it was on the cold and wet ground, how could she...how could she be lying on the ground in this street market, so many people passed by and no one cared about her.

so many people?

Anya lowered her eyebrows and scanned the surrounding environment carefully. On both sides of the whole street, there were dilapidated brick houses, and the clothes of the people walking on the street were also in tatters.She squinted her eyes slightly, staring at the figure in the distance wearing a black official robe and holding a bright and dazzling glazed lamp.

It's a ghost!

This is...the underworld?

Anya was deep in thought, how could she appear in the underworld.Zombies do not enter reincarnation and belong to the six realms.If she dies, it is impossible for her to appear here.Just when she couldn't figure it out, a soul body passed through her body like this.

Anya touched her body subconsciously, and raised her hand to touch the souls walking aimlessly around her, but she couldn't touch any of them.Staring at her hand, she remembered what Sang Xie said once, purple Youtan can penetrate yin and yang.

Could it be that this is really because of Zi Youtan?

Anya raised her eyebrows and looked into the distance. The dark green Wangchuan River couldn't help but sneer.

After all, in the past thousands of years, she has sent many people to this reincarnation, and this is the first time...she came here in person.Walking towards the edge of the cliff in the distance, staring at the slender, incomplete and criss-crossed chain bridges on the Wangchuan River.

Presumably, this is Naihe Bridge.

On both sides of the main road leading to Naihe Bridge, there are bright ghost lights, as if guiding those souls who are ready to reincarnate, and who are not yet ready to reincarnate.

Yes, after all, as soon as you step into this bridge, you will completely forget your past.

Forget, easier said than done!

Anya walked along this road.The surrounding darkness is not like the darkness of the present world. The ghost messengers in black official robes and the glazed lamps in their hands are like a pervasive light, adding an indescribable effect to the oppressive darkness. .

The glazed light illuminated the human soul into a pale yellow and pale, An Ya thought, "It's no wonder that ghost movies in TV dramas describe ghosts so horribly, the lighting effect here is simply too bad."

However, the more she walked towards the Naihe Bridge, the more doubts Anya felt in her heart. She didn't understand why...she appeared here.

"you……"

A young voice appeared behind Anya, which surprised her a little. Could someone here see her?

She turned around and saw a young girl with a ponytail on a beautiful face, which made Anya confirm that this was not a dream, she was really in the underworld.

Otherwise, how could we meet Wang Li who was waiting for Tang Qing here?

Wang Li's clothes were much cleaner than those people's. Even in such an environment, it was hard to hide her sunny look.

Holding the hoe in her hand, she looked at Anya in surprise, "You...why are you here?"

Anya raised her eyebrows and asked back, "Can you see me?"

Wang Li was a little confused by this question, she gave a soft "ah", nodded, put the hoe aside, came to Anya, and checked carefully, she really hoped she was wrong.

"It's really you, you appear here, have you already...?"

Seeing her worried expression, Anya understood what she was worried about, and she shook her head and replied, "I'm not dead, so people here can't see me. You can see me, maybe... because your soul and body have had a relationship with me. Contact, if you don’t believe me, look.” After speaking, she put her hand on Wang Li’s shoulder, but she couldn’t touch her, but slid directly over.

"Huh?" Wang Li was surprised at the moment, and found it unbelievable, but after thinking about it, Anya's clothes were indeed different from theirs, otherwise she wouldn't have noticed, "Then...how did you appear here?"

Anya looked at the cumbersome and complicated Naihe Bridge, and sighed: "I don't know why I appear here, but I always feel that... many things have their own arrangements."

Wang Li nodded knowingly.

Anya looked back at her, "Are you still used to being here?" Glancing at the hoe on the ground, she raised her eyebrows, "Why did you do hard labor?"

"There's nothing I'm not used to. It's just like what you and I said here. As long as I keep myself safe, no one will bully me, and no one will plot against me. On the contrary, when I have nothing to do, I often chat with the grandma next door. She stayed here for a long, long time..." Wang Li turned around and held the hoe in her hand again, and smiled at Anya, "Grandma made an appointment with her husband to wait for him here before she died, and then reincarnated together. ... I haven't seen her for so long. I know that her husband has probably been reincarnated, and her children may have... But that grandma just doesn't give up. I haven't seen anyone burn or send anything to her for a long time. If I don’t do some hard labor to earn money to exchange some lamp oil to continue the incense burner, I will really run out of lamp oil, and she is so old, so I want to help her.”

Anya showed her face, she is really a kind child, "I never thought you would know so many things not long after you came here."

As she said, whoever said that the soul is immortal, any creature in this world has an end, it's just the length.

Also includes zombies.

Sometimes when you think about it, reincarnation is really much better than longevity.

"I'm also bored, and there's not much I can do, besides... I also like to know more about the things here, not only ask my grandma, but even the ghost guards here will tell me everything about my problems. "Wang Li looked at the bridge in front of her, and she was counting the time to step into that bridge every moment.

"Then do you know why those ghost messengers will tell you everything?"

"I know, because you don't remember anything after crossing that bridge, and it's meaningless to know more." Wang Li said, raising her eyebrows to look at Anya, "By the way, Ah Qing... is she okay? "

"She's doing well and someone will take good care of her."

"I know, I just want to ask, how will she be doing..." She believed in Anya, and even more in Tang Qing's sister, but when she thought of Tang Qing, the longing buried in her heart would spread The whole body, that's why she understands this obsession of grandma.

Anya smiled and looked at her without saying a word, suddenly a little envious of this straightforward feeling.

"Then... Then when you go back, you can tell her for me not to burn things for me too often. I'm worried that those ghost messengers will get annoyed with delivering things."

Hearing this, Anya laughed out loud, shook her head and said, "I can't help you here."

"why?"

"If Tang Qing knows, you can receive everything she gives you, you won't receive less, but you will receive more." Anya recovered her expression, and said: "You have to know, she misses you very much. It will be less than what you have for her. Wouldn’t it be great to have such a connection? Don’t you think you can’t receive her miss for you? "

Wang Li pursed her lips. Of course she understood what Anya meant. This is also the most contradictory part of being a human being.

The crisp bamboo tube sound "Dangdangdang" echoed in the dilapidated neighborhood.

The two people who heard the sound looked over there. Wang Li heard the movement and said, "I'm going back. This place will be closed for a period of time, and we won't be allowed in or out."

Anya nodded, before Wang Li could take two steps, she called again: "Wang Li, do you know how to get to the other shore?"

Wang Li nodded, and simply told Anya what she knew, and told her to take good care of Tang Qing when she was parting.

After watching her leave, Anya turned around and continued to walk towards the Naihe Bridge, looking at the incomplete bridges, on one side was the green Wangchuan River, and on the other was the dark abyss.

The Wangchuan River is one of the longest tributaries that flow into the Santu River, and it is also the dividing line between the human world and the underworld.That bottomless abyss, without even thinking about it, must be the gate to hell.

Anya stood in front of the Naihe Bridge, beside a stone tablet with a few lines of words engraved on it, Anya glanced at it roughly, and it was all about reincarnation.

——"All sentient beings, from beginning to end, have all kinds of love, love and greed. You should know reincarnation, and love is the root. All worlds are always born and passed away. Choices are reincarnation."

——"All living beings love their lives, and they still rely on their desires. Love and desire is the cause, and love of life is the result. If you avoid reincarnation, there will be no right place, and the same will be true if the boat moves from shore to shore."

"The same is true..."

An Ya's calm and deep gaze swept across the dark and oppressive sky, and the layers of iron-locked bridges in front of her. They all said, "If you don't eat human food in one day, you will cross the Yin and Yang world in two days, and you will reach Wangxiang Terrace in three days. Seeing relatives crying and mourning." Her eyebrows were slightly lowered, looking at the dark, dark green Wangchuan River, reflecting the glazed lanterns on the other side and in the Wangyou Forest, swaying bright lines like will-o'-the-wisps.

"Wangxiang Terrace, Wangyou Forest...the wheel mirror..."

Anya, who found the target, walked a long way downstream, and could even hear the sound of the Wangchuan River clearly. After walking for a while, a huge black stone was reflected in front of her eyes.The words "Go to the other shore early" are engraved on the stone body as bright red as blood.

She knew that this was the Sansheng Stone by the bank of Wangchuan River.

"Three lives are fixed on the Sansheng Stone, and three lives are promised in front of the Sansheng Temple."

Those souls who are lingering in Wangchuan and do not want to be reincarnated can engrave the name of the person you love the most in this life and the person you want to wait for in the next life on this three-life stone.From An Ya's point of view, this is a strange stone. No matter how many times you reincarnate, the name you remember in your three lives will be kept here. Even if the engraved name is a person, but after drinking Mengpo soup across the Naihe bridge, you will forget your past. What is the use of this name?

Could it be that after you die, come here to confirm whether you were looking for the right person in your last life?

Anya smiled helplessly, but suddenly stopped.

"name?"

A doubt sprang up in Anya's heart that frightened her, so she quickened her pace and came to the Three Lives Stone.It was covered with moss, she raised her hand to peel it off, but hesitated.

She is afraid.

Under the moss, will there be the name she carved?

Who is it?

If so, does it mean that she has been here before, was also lost and reluctant to give up?

If not, then why did it lead her here?

It turns out that knowing the truth and facing the truth requires enough courage, not something you can easily bear if you think about it.Anya pursed her lips and stared at the piece of moss, but finally she pushed it away.

Looking at the words he had engraved by himself, there was a trace of hesitation in his brows.

……

With a hint of doubt and incomprehension, Anya continued on until she reached the ferry of Wangchuan River.On the green bamboo boat docked on the shore was written the word ferry. Naturally, Anya knew that she had to pay the fare to get on this green bamboo boat, and the price was collected by the boatman at will. If he didn't help you, not only would she not be able to board the other shore, He will also be thrown into the Wangchuan River.

And this Wangchuan River has no buoyancy at all, once it falls into it, it will be entangled by those water ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, dragging the human soul to the bottom of the river, turning into a water ghost like them, and never being able to land.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is uncertain whether the punter can see her. How can she reach the other shore and enter the Wangyou Forest?

When Anya was in trouble, a voice appeared behind her.

"Boatman, I want to cross the river."

After hearing the sound, the boatman turned to look at the woman who was going to ferry. Since the boatman was wearing a bamboo hat, Anya didn't know whether he saw herself or not.

But she can't control so much now, there are very few human souls crossing the river, she doesn't want to waste time here.After the woman handed a bag of money to the boatman, she followed.

Two people boarded the boat at the same time, and the boat was heavier than one person, but it went smoother than Anya expected.

The boatman took the bag of money without asking any further questions, but went directly to the bow of the boat and punted towards the other side.

On the quiet river, there was only the sound of boating. The speed of the green bamboo boat was very fast, but no matter how fast it was, Anya could not feel a trace of breeze. Instead, there was an unpleasant smell everywhere, similar to the smell of decaying soul.

Especially in the Youlu River, you can always see blisters that look like human faces, with their mouths wide open, as if they are trying to get closer to the hull of the boat, wanting the souls of the people on top to save him, but there are many water ghosts around him , constantly pulling him.

After careful observation, Anya found that the green bamboo boat slowed down in the middle of the Wangchuan River.

"...With the money just now, one person can cross the shore." The boatman raised his head in a strong tone, with a pair of white eyes without pupils, staring straight at Anya, "Two people can only go here."

Anya: "..."
