Chapter 105
"it's your turn."
This was said to Huang Song.
Seeing that Huang Song was late in front of the mirror, Qian Bashi became impatient.
"It's your turn, hurry up, don't waste time, this place is chaotic, I don't know how long the magic mirror can last!"
That is to say, there are no new ghosts lining up behind Huang Song, otherwise Qian Bashi would have caught them early.
If so, Huang Song also hesitated, drooping his head and dawdling forward, looking disgusting.
"How about, my lord, I won't cross the river, okay? I'll just stay here, it doesn't matter to me, I..."
Qian Bashi spoke harshly: "When a new ghost enters the underworld, he must first look in the Dharma mirror to see his appearance, then in the divine mirror to see his mind, and finally in the karma mirror to see his previous karma, regardless of whether you are in the underworld. Whether it is the emperor or the common people, there is no exception! If you delay and evade, be careful that I will whip you off Naihe with a whip, so that you can't live or die, even if you want to be a ghost, you can't do it!"
Huang Song showed fear, and finally moved to the mirror.
He was so afraid of looking in the Dharma Mirror, it must be because something dark happened during his lifetime, which even affected his death.
Naturally, everyone focused their eyes on the slightly shimmering magic mirror.
Screams sounded.
"what!!!!"
Not from reality, but from the mirror.
The sound came from far to near, in Huang Song's field of vision, a woman rushed over, grabbed his hair and scratched wildly.
"What did you do to my daughter, what did you do to my daughter! I'm going to fight you!"
In the series of questioning, accompanied by the onlookers' discussions one after another, Huang Song's silence allowed him to be beaten and scolded.
He Shu and the others gradually heard the truth.
Huang Song was a middle school teacher before his death. He has been teaching for more than 20 years and has won numerous awards.
But secretly, under the guise of his status, he attacked a female student, and later tried to use money to make the female student shut up, but the student struggled several times, and still told the parents that the matter had become serious, and Huang Song blamed everyone, and the school put him down. He was fired, and he couldn't find a new job, so he finally chose to jump off the building.
The blood on the back of his shirt was written one stroke after another when he cut his own wrist before he died. I don't know if Huang Song's mental state was abnormal at that time.
After falling from a building to his death, his death was exposed as social news, his reputation was discredited during his lifetime, and he was scolded by thousands of comments after his death. His exemplary role as a teacher also became a hot topic of discussion that month.
However, no one came forward to claim Huang Song's body after his death, because the family felt ashamed and did not want to recognize him. It is said that his wife couldn't stand the criticism from the people around her, so she took her children to settle in other places soon, and avoided it far away.
This is why Huang Song has never dared to look in the mirror, and it is also his embarrassing life.
Jiang Siyin and Little Tian looked at him with strange eyes, and even Zhou San and Qian Bashi, who have seen countless people, inevitably spoke more rudely.
"It's no wonder why you didn't dare to respond to the three reminders and four invitations just now. It turns out that you are a guilty conscience! You go straight ahead, there is a boat crossing the river in front of you, you take the boat to the other side, there will be ghosts to meet you."
What Qian Bashi said meant that he was not allowed to cross the bridge.
Huang Song didn't say anything, just lowered his head and walked away silently.
"and many more!"
It was He Shu who spoke.
"Everywhere is chaotic now. Save time if you can save time. Otherwise, brother Zhou and Qian, give me a face, let him cross the bridge together, look back at the mirror, and naturally go wherever you need to go, without him Denial of escape. What do you think?"
Qian Baishi didn't know He Shu, so he raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and was about to say what am I doing to give you face?
But I heard Zhou San say from the side: "Okay then, only one person can cross the bridge, so let's make a sequence..."
"Wait!" Qian Bashi hurriedly stopped Zhou San's conversation, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhou, you came out early, and you don't understand some things. Now that you have crossed the river, there may not be a magic mirror." As you can see, at least half of the dragons in the Ten Palaces have no heads, and the divine mirror is already incomplete, and I heard that those thieves still want to snatch the divine mirror away."
The magic mirror, the divine mirror, and the industry mirror are the three pillars that support the balance of yin and yang. A few years ago, the divine mirror had an accident and was missing a corner, and it has not yet been filled.
But if a corner is missing, it can still be used anyway. If the whole is taken away, it is estimated that the underworld and chaos will merge into one. When the order is in chaos, ghosts will not ghosts, and it is difficult to imagine what kind of chaos will occur.
Although Zhou San and Qian Bashi are on errands in both Yin and Yang worlds, they occasionally hear the inside story of some power disputes and intrigues in the upper class, but they never take it seriously. After all, these things are too far away from unimportant persons like them The point to worry about is that although the yin and yang gaps have opened up frequently recently, since the gate of ghosts opened in the middle of July last time, many ghosts who should have reported to the underworld have disappeared, and some ghosts and monsters have also appeared in the underworld. Zhou Sanβs colleague Tired of going back and forth, everyone complained a lot on weekdays, but no one thought that one day someone would forcibly disturb a pool of water to such an extent that even an unimportant person like them would hardly be able to get along!
"Why did the situation become so serious? When I left, I only heard that there was a gap between Chaos and the Underworld, and the breath was flowing!" Zhou San's face changed drastically when he heard this.
Qian Baishi smiled bitterly: "What's the matter, there were already clues at that time, you are also dull! This shows that there is an inner ghost working on it. It is said that it is now divided into two factions, and they are deadlocked, and I don't know how far they have reached. Just guard the borders, at this time, it will be a big deal if something happens again!"
Zhou San: "I know, but this He Shu does have some skills. He also knows Hu Laosan."
Qian Baishi disagreed: "We've seen too many capable people, but he's one more person? I don't think he's a mythical beast. He's just an ordinary person when he came down to earth. What's wrong with knowing Hu Laosan? During the period, Mr. Hu must not care about comparisons."
Zhou San snorted: "You still say I'm slow, and you're not doing any better! Didn't you notice it just now?"
Qian 80: ? ? ?
He showed a bewildered expression, Zhou San had no choice but to point it out.
"When He Shu stood in front of the magic mirror and stopped that person, the magic mirror did not reveal anything."
Qian 80: ? ! !
After realizing it, his expression gradually became dignified and shocked.
Even the magic mirror can't show the life, what does this mean?
It means that this person either has a great origin and cannot even recognize the magic mirror, or has a great supernatural power and can block the magic mirror.
No matter what kind of possibility, it is worth them to sell this face.
During the conversation, the messenger who was handing over the shift with Qian Baishi came.
Qian Bashi told him to keep a good watch on the mirror, so he led Zhou San He Shu and others to the bamboo bridge next to Naihe.
He also didn't mention the fact that Huang Song had to take a boat, the little episode just now seemed to have never happened.
Huang Song was overwhelmed and had to silently follow behind the crowd.
The bamboo bridge is very narrow. Originally, only one person could pass through it. Later, the two sides should be reinforced and widened to accommodate two people walking side by side.
But even so, there are many people who have passed, and there is a danger of overturning.
Qian Baishi said: "We have a lot of people, we will be divided into two batches, and strangers cannot pass at the same time at one time."
Although crossing the bridge is safer than crossing the river by boat, this place is the underworld after all. There are more breaths of living people, and the Naihe below will react.
Now that there are many troubles, although Qian Bashi is willing to take Jiang Siyin and the others across the river for Zhou San's sake, he doesn't want to cause more trouble.
"I can leave in the second batch." He Shu took the initiative.
Qian Baishi nodded: "Brother Zhou is injured. Come with me first. After I take him there, I will come back to pick you up. In addition to the two of us, I can bring three more."
He Shu said: "Then Jiang Siyin and Little Tian go there first."
Across the river is the underworld.
Although it is not good for a living person to stay here for a long time, it is still better than lingering in chaos and encountering unknown dangers. At least there is still a place under the main jurisdiction of the underworld. These two people are ordinary people with no power, He Shu. He must let them go first, otherwise he would not be relieved to stay with Ne Win.
"As for Master Ne Win, why don't you take a second trip with me."
Ne Win seemed to see his intention and glanced coldly, as if mocking him for thinking too much.
He Shu didn't care what he thought, his eyes fell on Lu Min and Huang Song.
There is one more place, naturally it can only be chosen among these two new ghosts.
Little Tian took the initiative: "Why don't sister Lu Min come with us first."
She really didn't want to go with a rapist.
Lu Min smiled softly: "Okay."
"and many more."
He Shu reached out and grabbed Lu Min's arm, which was as cold as ironβit was natural, she was already dead.
"Lu Min call me a second time, let Huang Song be with you." He paused, and said to Little Tian, ββ"Don't worry, there are two ghosts here, he can't make waves."
Since he said so, the others have no objection.
Qian Bashi and Zhou San walked in front, Little Tian Jiang Siyin walked in the middle, and Huang Song was behind alone.
At first glance, the river is not wide, and at a glance, you can see the paper lanterns hanging by the river on the other side, but when people walk up, they realize that it is far less than just a few steps away from what the naked eye can see.
Little Tian felt that the bamboo bridge suddenly became very long, and the bamboo bridge wobbled under the impact of the river, and people also lost their footing, as if they might fall into the river at any time.
She showed a look of fear, and her footsteps became slower and slower, almost daring to walk.
"It's okay." Jiang Siyin took the initiative to hold her hand. "Just follow me."
Qian Baishi's voice came from the front.
"If you see it short, it will be short. If you think it is long, it will be long. If you are unstable, it will sway. If you have a clear conscience, it will be as stable as a rock."
"Those who have sinned like a mountain, those who have old enemies like a sea, the river will keep churning, and the souls of many generations in the river will be attracted by it, and those who cross the bridge will be sucked into the bottom of the river, becoming one of the dead souls who can only sink and float in Naihe for generations. Now the river is calm. , It can be seen that you usually have small treachery, small evils, or small mistakes, and it does not hinder your own virtue." Zhou San also said the same.
Little Tian couldn't help thinking, but Huang Song did such a thing before his death, and his reputation was ruined, how could he be considered a petty villain? Is it because he was accused by thousands of people and reviled by thousands of people before he was alive, and the student he molested did not die, can it be regarded as offsetting the crime?
But when the two ghosts said this, her fear was indeed reduced a lot.
Little Tian closed his eyes, opened them again, and found that the bamboo bridge did not have the sense of despair that could not be seen just now.
Qian Bashi and Zhou San are used to walking, their footsteps are light and fast, while Little Tian and Jiang Siyin walk very slowly, after all, they have never had such an experience in their life, and they will tell others after returning to Yang I went to the underworld by myself, and was led past Naihe by a ghost messenger. No one would believe it.
As for the last yellow pine, Little Tian walked slowly, so naturally he couldn't go fast.
But he didn't urge him, so he slowly followed the two of them behind him.
Little Tian was always a little wary of him in his heart, and couldn't help but look back.
This look made her stunned.
Although Huang Song did not urge them, he was walking slowly, but he walked extremely smoothly, as if he was not walking on a swaying bamboo bridge, but a concrete floor paved with asphalt.
Little Tian felt the shaking, but he didn't even move his body.
Seeing Little Tian looking back at him, Huang Song smiled flatteringly, and stopped on his own initiative to keep a distance from them.
The other party was so self-conscious, Little Tian was not satisfied, on the contrary, it was an indescribable feeling.
He Shu and Lu Minnai Wen stood by the river, watching the five figures go away.
They still had to wait for 80% off the money to bring them back, which was obviously impossible to complete within a few minutes. Ne Win simply sat down with his legs crossed and closed his eyes.
A snake emerged from his cuff and wrapped around his wrist like a bracelet.
He Shu remembered that Fengfeng said before that there was someone in John's party who could drive snakes and beasts away, and it must be Ne Win.
Thinking of Fengfeng, he couldn't help but look down at the palm of his hand.
The blood beads pointed by Guanghan still did not solidify, and there was no change.
This may be a good thing.
It must be unaccustomed to not have Guanghan by his side, but he can't show it in front of Jiang Siyin and them, otherwise they, who are already afraid, will definitely be more afraid.
Sure enough, He Shu found that as long as he was orderly, Jiang Siyin and Little Tian would not have too much anxiety. Ne Win had a lot of scruples and didn't dare to make bad ideas casually, so the team was naturally much more stable.
"Brother He," Lu Min said suddenly, and when she heard Little Tian call He Shu, she followed suit. "Will the magic mirror be in the ghost town?"
He Shu: "The mirror is not in the ghost town, I heard it is at the entrance of the first hall."
Those who cross the river, now waiting for the call in the ghost town, will be guided to the first hall to look at the mirror, and after passing the mirror, the next step can be arranged. This is all a process.
"Why, are you afraid of looking at the mirror?" He Shu asked coldly.
"No, I just don't want to die so soon. I just experienced changes in the world. I think it would be good to stay in the ghost town for a while." Lu Min said.
He Shudao: "Don't worry, there are few places now. It's not that you can choose whatever you want. Some people, uh, some ghosts have stayed in ghost towns for hundreds of years and haven't waited for a place. There are also some."
Reincarnation is of course the dream of many ghosts. After all, the world is prosperous and life is colorful. Even though ghost towns have been operated for thousands of years, they still have the taste of prosperity in the world, but after all, they are not as good as the world. Think about sunbathing on a reclining chair. A living person like the sun is nothing but ordinary, and it is not even an act of enjoyment, but it is an extravagant hope for ghosts.
Some ghosts are just like Lu Min when they first arrive. They think ghosts are better than humans, but as long as a few years or decades pass, their thoughts will change, and they may not have their places at that time.
Lu Min complimented: "Thank you Brother He, you know a lot."
He Shu: "To tell you the truth, I'm also here for the first time."
Regarding many things here, some were said by Guanghan, Fengfeng added from the side, and some were told by Hu Laosan, and when they were put together, He Shu understood more or less.
After a while, the figure of Qian Baishi finally appeared in the field of vision.
"Awaited!"
He walked back more briskly than when he left, and his feet hardly touched the ground, a bit like a wave of micro-steps.
"Brother Qian, you have to make more trips." He Shu said politely.
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's a fate for us to meet!" Qian Baishi grinned, and the pale face smiled a bit terrifying, but after watching it for a long time, he got used to it. "Let's go, cousin, I'll lead the way, just follow me."
Looking at Lu Min and Ne Win again, their tone was obviously business-like.
"You two also follow. Don't look around on the bridge, and don't shake your body. If you fall down in a while, don't say I didn't warn you!"
The corner of He Shu's mouth twitched: "...what did you call me?"
Qian Bashi took it for granted: "Cousin, I think Xiao Jiang and the others call you that, do as the Romans do!"
Do as the Romans do!
Facts have proved that ghosts also tend to follow others and order dishes when they see people, which is fully reflected in Qian Bashi.
Ne Win stood up silently, dusted off his clothes, and followed behind.
He has almost realized the reality, knowing that he can't move an inch here, and he can only rely on the ghost messenger if he wants to get out, and the relationship between the ghost messenger and He Shu is obviously better now. Teachers crossing the border illegally will become a yin and yang.
He didn't show it on the face, but he was very disturbed in his heart.
Sure enough, He Shu was not in a hurry to follow Qian Bashi.
"Brother Qian, wait."
"Cousin, you can just call me eighty, don't be so polite."
"...Okay eighty, this Venerable Master Ne Win was not originally Chinese. He came here to chase and kill Jiang Siyin and entered the country illegally. Speaking of which, we will go to the underworld by mistake, and it has something to do with them .β
"Mr. He, I didn't hunt you down! I just want to help my employer get back what belongs to him!" Ne Win couldn't help but argue.
This head-down master was so arrogant at the beginning, he didn't even want to say a word, and he didn't pay attention to the mercenary Mange and others, but now he needs to explain his intentions in a low voice.
But He Shu didn't like him.
"You use the head-down technique to help him get back the things from his previous life?"
Perhaps the irony on He Shu's face was too strong, and Ne Win knew that he was weak now, so he had no choice but to confess and be lenient.
"Mr. He, if I tell you something, can I get your understanding?"
"What do you think."
"Actually, Zahe and I didn't want to follow John across thousands of mountains and rivers. At that time, I was practicing a very important technique of lowering the head. Originally, I couldn't leave the secret room for a while, but I suddenly received Instructions from the Patriarch God."
"Patriarch God?"
"Yes, just like you Chinese worship the Jade Emperor or Guanyin, our head-down masters naturally have their own ancestor gods. He talked to me through supreme and distant sound transmission, and instructed me to welcome guests who are about to come from afar to visit us. , and accept his employment, accompany him to the Chasing Dragon Mountain in Yunnan, China, and find what he wants."
He Shu was suspicious: "How can you be sure that it is your god, not someone else's fake?"
Ne Win: "Because I have been in contact with this voice since I started practicing the head-bending technique many years ago. Everything he said at that time has come true to me. My master said, that is the patriarch. We black people The first black-clothed head master is revered by Yi Jiangtou master."
He Shu: "Go ahead."
