Thirty-second bowl of soup (one & two)
It was a tragic story, and those who saw it were sad, and those who heard it shed tears. It was probably that time that Wen Liang had a psychological shadow from then on, and he was like an enemy to rebirth and time travel.
Every time he thinks about the beatings he has suffered, Wen Liang feels a dull pain in a certain part - that is the most aggrieved world he has ever experienced, not to mention showing off his might, it would be difficult to even live normally, if it were not for chance Coincidentally, God is still looking after him, he must be played to death!
The ghost knows that there can be so many reborns in a world, and they are all squeezed together! Fortunately, Luo Kai, who killed the child, didn't seriously start over. People who can get the chance of rebirth have the chance to start again, but few of them can maintain an upright attitude towards life, and it is even more difficult not to be greedy. Therefore, Wen Liang's face changes when he hears about it.
Of course, this is not to beat everyone to death with a stick, at least Qing Huan's benefactor He Lianfang, and Wei Xuying who I met in the apocalyptic world are not such people, so they are allowed to exist and rebirth, the cycle of cause and effect, It all makes sense.
After finishing his saddest world, Wen Liang couldn't help complaining about the other worlds. Speaking of which, when he was just a novice, he was fortunately taught by his predecessor, otherwise he would definitely be as miserable as a chestnut.
However, when I think of Lizi Wenliang, I am happy. Hehehe, although he was cheated, Lizi is even more pitiful. When she was a novice, she encountered such a world of traversers, which made people want to laugh.
"Let me tell you about Lizi again, she's funnier than me, hahaha—" Wen Liang, who was still filled with righteous indignation for what happened to him just a second ago, burst out laughing instantly.
Seeing his appearance, Qing Huan couldn't help but smile slightly, but said: "The time is up, we should all leave this world."
"Where are you going?" Wen Liang didn't want to part with Qing Huan very much, he hadn't met his companion for a long time, and it had been a long time since no one could talk to him with him. Although he will find someone to bind to in every world, but the other party is just a mortal after all, and after the wish is fulfilled, the other party will return to a normal life, and he is still alone. "Didn't we just meet? We are going to separate now?"
After hearing this, Qing Huan looked back after walking a few steps, her eyes were very gentle and tolerant: "You know, this is the law, and we should all abide by it."
The reason why companions cannot meet with each other at will is actually not a hard and fast rule, because if they meet, they can still talk and do things together, but if they want to live together for a long time, it is impossible. The way of heaven allows each tasker to find a A partner, but a partner can only be a human being, even if they are together, they can only share eternal life, not strength.
That's the rule.
Wen Liang also understands this, he is a little disappointed, it has been thousands of years since the last time he met another companion, Li Zi, and this time he is separated from Qing Huan, and he does not know if he will have a chance to meet again.
His sadness is beyond words. Existences like them do not belong to any living body, neither human nor ghost, neither immortal nor demon, neither dead nor alive, but between these things, and above all. above life. Immortality is indeed very attractive, but after a long time, it will only make people feel sad and lonely.
Seeing that Wen Liang was really reluctant to leave, Qing Huan waved to him, Wen Liang immediately ran over like a puppy, and raised his head to look at Qing Huan. "Well, if you encounter danger in the future, or if you have any problems that cannot be solved, just call me, and I will come to you."
Wen Liang didn't understand: "How... summon?"
"When you are really in danger, you will know." Qing Huan stretched out her index finger and tapped Wen Liang's eyebrows, as if stamping a seal, and then waved to him, "Alright kid, we are destined Goodbye." Then he disappeared.
Remaining Wen Liang touched his brow, only felt that the place Qing Huan touched was slightly cold, but at the same time very warm.
In any case, he made a second friend, and continued on, and maybe a third and fourth... The last thing in life is hope, even if he is not human, he should be.
Wen Liang continued to move forward, while Qing Huan returned to Naihe Bridge. In fact, she still has a little time to listen to Wen Liang's story about chestnuts. However, she should come back after this world is completed, and the next ghost will arrive soon. , what would she look like if she was outside.
When Mo Ze saw her, he was very happy, he jumped up and hugged Qing Huan's thigh, raised his face, and smiled: "Master, you are back!"
Qing Huan squeezed his chubby apple face, the little guy will always be this big, he won't grow any more, but he is getting fatter... Look at this chubby face, it's hard to bear to look at.
Ji Guang and Xiao Hei were also rubbing against Qing Huan's legs. Qing Huan hadn't seen these three little things for a long time, so she couldn't help hugging and kissing them one by one.
Soon, the time has come. The soul-inducing bell jingled, and the soul-calling banner made the sound of hunting wind. From far to near, a female ghost floated over. It's just that her figure was too erratic, Qing Huan reached out and grabbed her, and the female ghost sat down in shock.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was anxious: "I, where am I?"
"Naihe Bridge." Qing Huan looked at the three big characters, and the female ghost followed suit. She was a little dazed, "Naihe Bridge...it turns out that when a person dies, there will really be a hell."
Qing Huan chuckled: "This is indeed Naihe Bridge, but there is no hell, and there is no Judge of Hades. The road you took before is indeed Huangquan Road, but there is no one else here except me."
"Then, what about Granny Meng?" The female ghost asked curiously. She looked Qing Huan up and down, and thought how could this beautiful woman in ancient costume stay here
"I am Granny Meng."
"You lied!" The female ghost didn't believe it! "Grandma Meng is an old woman, okay? You look at most seventeen or eighteen years old. Are you, are you an adult! I'm not dreaming, am I? How did I get here?"
"You came here because you are dead." Qing Huan looked at her. "And Po Meng is just a name, not an old woman surnamed Meng. Everyone who cooks soup on this bridge is called Po Meng, regardless of gender, but now I am taking over."
Her voice was soft and melodious, and the female ghost gradually calmed down. At the beginning, she accepted the idea that she was dead, and then she was very strange: "Then I... am I going to drink Mengpo soup and go to reincarnation?"
"Do you want to go?" Qing Huan asked.
The female ghost pursed her lips: "I... of course I have to be reincarnated after I die. I guess my big belly uncle also recited the death curse for me, and the claws of the ghost at that time pulled out my heart. I must be dead."
She is a little sad. "But I don't know how big brother and the others are doing, whether they have solved the ghost village or not."
"Are you... an exorcist?" Hearing that she was talking about a ghost and a ghost village, Qing Huan also rarely became curious—probably because she had been with Wen Liang for a long time not long ago, and not only was she infected by the other party Chattering, but also infected with endless curiosity... It's scary, what a restrained woman she is.
The female ghost shook her head: "That's not true, because to be precise, we belong to a national organization that specializes in solving such things for the country. The leader of the organization is my eldest brother. There are eight people in the whole group. I am the youngest. Ghost exorcism or something, this kind of thing rarely happens. We got news before that someone went deep into the ancient city full of yellow sand to rob tombs. It is said that the ancient city of yellow sand is the imperial tomb of an ancient country long ago, and someone is buried in it. I don’t know if it’s because of global warming or the smog is too severe. Anyway, after all kinds of visions, the ancient city of Huangsha appeared, and the satellite took photos, but before the country had time to send people there, it was discovered that there was a gang of tomb robbers one step ahead of us. Into the desert. My elder brother chased them in with our team members, but those tomb robbers were not easy. I caught the road and now I’m dead.”
Qing Huan nodded: "I see, so what did you see before you died?"
"I..." The female ghost was a little confused. "I seem to have seen something, but I can't remember it. That ghost is so powerful that none of the eight of us can match her. But before we entered the ancient city of Huangsha, there was nothing different in the city. But when we accidentally entered the underground palace , she came out! I don’t know what happened to the elder brother and the others.”
Everyone must be very sad when he died, especially his brother. Before her parents died, she told her elder brother to take good care of herself, but she died to protect her elder brother. The elder brother must be full of guilt. The female ghost is now afraid that her elder brother is not calm enough to avenge herself, but in the end the whole group is folded in, and the loss outweighs the gain.
Their team is extremely good, everyone has unique skills, the country hired them with high salaries to set up a supernatural task force, even if they don't get paid, they all hope to eliminate harm for the people, but...
"I'm worried about them, everyone is no match for that female ghost, me!"
The female ghost was about to continue talking, but suddenly her figure flickered, and her entire soul seemed to be stretched like a silk thread—and then quickly flew towards Shilu!
Qing Huan was startled, and quickly reached out to grab it, but it was too late, she only grabbed a piece of the female ghost's clothes, only to hear the female ghost's almost inaudible roar: "It's a sorcery! Find me! Help my elder brother and the others! —”
There was no sound after that.
Mo Ze had never seen his master so angry before, Qing Huan slapped the table, she was really angry this time, the entire Wangchuan river began to boil, the sound of the soul-calling flag became louder and louder, all ghosts were silent! Mo Ze hugged the corner of the table and huddled into a ball. He saw the black sky above was extremely dark, and the wind was blowing. You can imagine how angry Qing Huan was.
When a person dies, he is dead. Now that he has reached the Naihe Bridge, it is destined by God and cannot be changed. Who is defying the sky and changing his fate, and uses magic to arrest the female ghost's soul? And who dares to ignore the laws of heaven and earth and do such a rebellious thing? If it is only based on selfishness, it depends on whether the other party has this ability!
Qing Huan didn't even ask the female ghost's name, she was sullen and said in a low voice: "How dare you snatch the ghost from me!"
Moze's round and fat body was shaking uncontrollably, under the fury of his master, he didn't dare to say a word. It wasn't until Qing Huan left Naihe Bridge that he crawled out from under the table, and sitting across from Ji Guang and Xiao Hei who were also trembling, the three little guys looked at each other, and then realized that their owners were usually too gentle and loving for them, so that They all forgot what a terrifying existence she was.
When Qing Huan arrived in the world of female ghosts, her goal was the ancient city of Huangsha. She first changed out of the ancient skirt, put on a tight vest, a camouflage jacket, military boots and a dagger, and even bought a gun.
The long hair is still braided into two long braids, which is more convenient. The only pity is that there is no compass, and GPS can't locate the other party, so she directly got a military jeep, put the needed supplies into the space, and prepared to talk to the person who dared to snatch the ghost with her, and by the way The other party beat him up, and then brought the female ghost back to Naihe Bridge.
This is really the first time, it's like someone came to her house and kicked the door to grab something!
Qing Huan drove all the way to the edge of the desert. She didn't bring Mo Ze with her, so naturally she didn't know the exact location of Huangsha Ancient City, but it didn't matter, she could figure it out. As for the basic law of not being able to use one's own power in the world - that is used to restrain the weak like Wen Liang. The strong make the rules, and the weak follow the rules.
She is already very fair and law-abiding, and she will not go too far in this world. I believe that Heaven will turn a blind eye.
Everyone tacitly.
But in the desert, even a military jeep can hardly travel day and night. After driving in the desert for two days, Qing Huan finally found traces of human life near an oasis. She followed the trail to find the tribe, and exchanged salt, candies and other things for two camels.
She hung the supplies that needed to be carried on the camel, so as not to have to explain what space was when meeting people. Look at her, she didn't forget to save people while looking for ghosts, Qing Huan felt that she was very considerate.
The people were very hospitable, and invited Qing Huan to spend the night in a tent, and invited her to eat special ethnic food. Qing Huan ate very happily, finally showing her first smile in two days.
She was only angry with the person who snatched her ghost, and she was still very friendly to innocent people. On the morning of the fourth day, after she had recharged her energy, she drank milk tea and ate pancakes early in the morning, and then set off to find the ancient city of Huangsha.
This trip lasted another five days and five nights. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert was huge, and there were many strange bugs. Qing Huan took out the little chubby worm, and this lazy guy gained a lot of weight. When he saw Qing Huan, he even rubbed her fingers affectionately. The two black eyeballs on his head seemed to be darker and brighter, and at the same time, they were more beautiful. There is aura.
By Qing Huan's side, they will slowly mature, just like now, although the chubby worm can't speak yet, he can already communicate with Qing Huan, and even understand Qing Huan's thoughts.
With the little fat bug around, passing the poisonous bug levels along the way is easy. To use a simple example as a metaphor, if the fat worm is a tiger, then the other worms in the desert are at most mice.
If the levels are not the same, there is no need to compare them.
At noon on the sixth day, Qing Huan finally found Huangsha Ancient City. According to the female ghost, the ancient sites here have just been discovered, and before the country even had time to send an archaeological team, some tomb robbers had already discovered this place first.
Qing Huan looked around in the city, and said it was a historic site, but in fact, because the ground surface was lowered and the ancient city was alive, thousands of years of wind and sand had eroded the confined space, and as soon as it came out of the surface and came into contact with the sun, all the colorful things had faded away. Today's ancient city of yellow sand is a veritable ancient city of "yellow sand". There are only yellow and fools, and it almost becomes one with the desert.
But since this was once a city, it must have been fertile and suitable for human habitation. It's just that the family evolves and changes over time, nothing lasts forever.
Even this city, which has recorded countless memories, will still be forgotten in history in the end.
Qing Huan didn't know much about the history of this world, and she didn't look carefully. She wasn't a tomb robber, she came to find ghosts and save people, but she didn't know where the supernatural task force that the female ghost was talking about was at the moment.
She still remembered that the female ghost said that their entire group had entered the underground palace.
Since it is an underground palace, there must be an entrance. The female ghost said that she entered by accident, so the entrance must be very inconspicuous... Where is it? Qing Huan walked around the ancient city several times but couldn't find it. She wanted to stomp down and destroy the ancient city.
Such a violent thought is all due to the person who dared to snatch the ghost from under her nose.
In this way, Qing Huan searched for the entrance in the ancient city for a whole day, but was still nowhere to be found. It was getting dark quickly in the desert, and as the sky gradually darkened, Qing Huan noticed something was wrong.
This... what's the situation? Why is the scenery around me changing? Qing Huan looked around vigilantly, and the two camels, known as the "ship of the desert", seemed to sense something was wrong, they were snorting, and even kept backing away, trying to leave the ancient city of Huangsha.
Then Qing Huan was shocked to find that this ancient city was slowly being restored!
First, the dilapidated walls are gradually being restored, and then the colorful streets, and even every house and every shop is lifelike!
Later, the lanterns were lit, and there were voices and laughter, as if... just from dawn to dark, the city came alive!
With a creak, Qing Huan turned around abruptly, and saw the door of a pawn shop behind him being opened, and the middle-aged shopkeeper in a black mandarin jacket began to welcome customers with a smile.
There was the clatter of hooves, and Qing Huan looked forward again. It was a carriage, and soon the curtain of the carriage was lifted, the groom moved the small stool, and a family of four got out of the carriage. Husband holding daughter, wife holding son.
The kid in the restaurant ran out with a smile on his face, welcoming the guests into the restaurant with enthusiasm.
Qing Huan watched this scene quietly, and felt that the time was quiet and the world was stable. I don’t know how many years ago this is a projection, maybe it is the last memory left in the world of Huangsha Ancient City.
She has lived so long that she has seen all kinds of wonders. In old man Lang's world, she was a female Taoist priest who exorcised and collected demons, but in the modern world, Qing Huan still rarely encountered this kind of situation.
She smiled slightly, as if she also got the peace and smile from the people who lived and worked in philosophy.
She led the camel and walked slowly along the Qingshiban street. The strange thing is that she can clearly see the smiles on people's faces, but people don't see her, completely as if she doesn't exist.
I don't know how long they walked, but when they came to a magnificent palace, the guards at the gate seemed to have not seen her at all, and Qing Huan led the camel into the palace gate, at that moment! The whole world instantly became pitch black. The voices of adults and children, the symphony of guards' weapons in the night, and even the faint sound of wind in the air... all disappeared.
All around was deathly silence and darkness. Qing Huan took out the flashlight and found that she was now beside a long underground river, which seemed to be underground.
No wonder she couldn't find the entrance to the underground palace even after searching all day, but that's how she wanted to come in.
Then, the female ghost's companions probably did the same. At night, they discovered the abnormality of the city, and then entered the palace while walking around the city, and then went to the underground palace.
But what will be in this underground palace
The surrounding area was quiet, and Qing Huan continued to walk along the river. As he walked, he heard the sound of dripping water. The place where the flashlight shone was covered with dust, but traces of humans could still be seen.
Even she found the mark.
There is actually a formation in this place, so even if you walk along the river, even if the water is running water, as long as you are trapped in the formation, you can only die from exhaustion. After entering, the entrance is closed instantly, and it is impossible to return from the original road. The only chance is to keep going forward, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.
After walking for a long time, Qing Huan suddenly saw a huge open space in front of her. It is not appropriate to call it an open space, but it is more like a living grave.
Because the huge open space is full of bones. Take a closer look at these bones, there are children and adults, men and women, the only thing in common is that their bones are all intertwined in a strange posture, that is to say, if any one of them is removed, the entire corpse mountain will be destroyed. It will collapse in an instant!
Qing Huan touched a skull, she closed her eyes, and saw the brutal killing through the skull. The screaming of the children, the crying of the women, the roaring of the men... What a hell on earth!
Who is buried in this underground palace
This is just the end of the underground river, and there is such a huge mountain of corpses. If she continues to walk in, what else will she encounter? Qing Huan was merciful by nature, she let go of the rein in her hand, clasped her hands together, bowed slightly, and then crossed the mountain of corpses without stopping.
This circular open space is too big, it will take at least an hour to go around, and what Qing Huan is facing is a new passage.
This passage is very long, but it is well-built. Thick moss grows on the smooth stone walls. There are reptiles and bats occasionally, but there are small fat insects. These small animals dare not move around, even if Qing Huan accidentally steps on it. When they got to them, they didn't dare to bite her. The little fat worm raised its head. For it, the darker the environment, the more suitable for survival. Qing Huan took a closer look at it. She had never left the little fat worm outside for such a long time.
With her there, the environment was suitable, two horns grew faintly on the head of the chubby worm, and they were even continuing to grow. I don't know what it will grow into in the end.
It was originally a Gu king, and it became even more powerful after following Qing Huan. Anyway, with it here, the camels are all safe. The little fat worm still looked very proud, arrogant and arrogant, his little head kept pointing, and Qing Huan couldn't help laughing.
