I think this river has actually come to an end, but the river seems to have been dug forward for a long period of time. As a result, the river has become a circular river, connected end to end, circulating in such a large area. flow.
There is no end to such a river. The messy boats in the river can only follow the direction of the river, from the beginning to the end, and from the end to the beginning, endless.
At the same time, I can see clearly that the river course has been changed. The original river course was flowing forward, but now it has been blocked. Through the dim light, I saw that there were some people on the other side of the river. , I don’t know what I’m busy with.
I don’t know how long I’ve been away. This is the first time I saw a person’s figure. I was suddenly excited. There is a bridge on the river. Through, there are faint green leaves spreading and growing on both sides.
This bridge is the only passage leading to the opposite bank. I hurriedly walked over and tried it out with one leg. The bridge was very strong and didn't feel swaying at all when I walked on it.
The bridge is about ten feet long and spans the river. The closer you go, the clearer the figures in front of you. When the bridgehead was still less than two feet away, the silence was suddenly broken, and a voice came from the bridgehead.
"The comer stops."
I was immediately taken aback. With my current senses, if someone was hiding nearby, I would definitely be able to detect it. However, now it is so two feet away, there are still people lurking, but I am unconscious.
I stopped immediately, followed closely, and slowly stood up alone from the shadow of the bridge.
That was an old woman, dressed in black, hunched over, her face was full of wrinkles, just like the old vine on the bridge, with the breath of time passing.
I can't tell how old this old woman is. When she stood up, the old woman lit a lamp and put it on one of her palms.
This place is very gloomy, and this old woman gives people a somber atmosphere. I was about two feet away from the other side. Seeing this old woman, I stopped in place for a while, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
"Come here, just drink this." The old woman held a lamp in one hand, and she did not know where she took out a large spoon in the other hand. There was a little muddy water in the spoon, looking at it. It's muddy.
"What is this?" I stood there, staring at the old woman intently.
"After drinking this, you have forgotten all the things that should be forgotten. Isn't it good?" The old woman's waist was bent to the extreme. "In this life, there are so many sufferings and sorrows. If you drink this, you won't remember anything."
I was in a daze for a while. I used to hear the story of Huangquan Road and Naihe Bridge. People say that there is a Meng Po on the Nai He Bridge. Po Meng gives people a drink of Ecstasy Soup. All things are forgotten.
There must be no Mengpo in this world, but this old woman is guarding the bridgehead of the bridge and holding a spoon. I am very at a loss and don't know where she came from.
But anyway, I definitely can't drink the water in the spoon.
"you
If you don't drink, you can't pass here. "The old woman said decisively: "If you can't pass, you must always be trapped in this place." "
I am a little anxious. This bridge must be the only way. Moreover, the group of people on the other side of the bridge are already in sight. I eagerly want to go over and ask them. But being blocked by the old woman, I don't know what to do.
"Drink." The old woman walked towards me step by step and stretched out the spoon in her hand vigorously.
My scalp was a little numb, and when the old woman was about to approach, as soon as I stretched out my hand, I knocked off the spoon in her hand.
"You don't know what is good or bad." The old woman squinted her eyes, her eyelids were drooping, and her eyes were dull, but at this moment, there seemed to be a frightening chill in the old woman's eyes. mango.
Seeing her gaze, I immediately noticed a sense of hostility, and then took a slight step backwards, ready to respond to the enemy. Now that I have come here, I can't give up. I have to find a way out anyway.
As soon as I felt the hostility, the pre-existing breath on her body continued to rotate and flow, and the old woman stopped abruptly, staring at me for a while.
"Do you have a seal of longevity?"
"What." I said, feeling that the old woman's eyes are dim, but I can still see that I have the imprint of longevity.
"It's the real seal of longevity, the seal of longevity..." the old woman murmured a few words, and then slowly retreated to the bridge head, sat down again, and said, "If there is a seal of longevity, just go over."
I don't know what kind of medicine the old woman's gourd sells, but since she let me go, I'm not at all polite, and while fully guarded, I walked towards the bridge.
The old woman did not stop her. When I passed by her, I saw her sitting on a rock at the head of the bridge, her whole body blending with the dim light of her surroundings, as if she had been sitting here for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Let me ask." I can clearly sense that the hostility on this old woman has disappeared, so when her feet crossed the other shore, she turned her head and asked, "Where can I get out of this place?"
"You can't get out of this place." The old woman said, "But it's hard to tell if you have the seal of longevity, but I really don't know. No one has left here for so many years."
After the old woman said this, her head drooped and she stopped speaking. In desperation, I could only step forward and walk towards the group of people over there.
The group of people is constantly busy, as if digging a hole. When I got closer, I took a breath.
I recognized Sun Yousheng, Sun Yousheng of Tianjimen, who is holding a worn-out shovel, constantly digging the soil.
In addition to Sun Yousheng, there are some other people I have met before, all of whom were on the river beach that night trying to capture the scholar. I remember very clearly that this group of people was received by the scholar at the time.
It turned out that some of the stories in the rumors were not groundless, and the people who were taken in by Nether Tu ended up here.
I am not familiar with the people in Tianjimen, and they are attached to the Tao of the Universe, and in any case, they will not deal with me. But both sides fell to this point. There was no need to fight and kill anymore. I hurriedly walked forward and said, "Sun You
Saint. "
Sun Yousheng didn't look back, he digs the pit very hard, and the people around him are like that, everyone has no distractions.
"Sun Yousheng?" I raised my voice again and called him.
My voice is loud enough. This time, Sun Yousheng and some other people slowly turned their heads and glanced at me.
At the moment they turned their heads, I had already noticed that their eyes were dull and lacking in expression. Although they were not dead for the time being, they were like walking corpses.
"Sun Yousheng?" Sun Yousheng glanced at me and muttered: "Who is Sun Yousheng?"
It suddenly dawned on me that Sun Yousheng and the others were included in the Netherworld Map. They must be the same as me. They also found this place bit by bit. When they found it, the old lady on the bridge will feed them after they have crossed the bridge just now. Drink that kind of water that looks very muddy.
After drinking, everything in the previous life was forgotten, even who he was.
My head was a bit bigger, and Sun Yousheng didn't remember anything. Talking with him now is definitely difficult. I simply stopped mentioning the previous things, and tentatively asked: "What are you doing? Is there a way to get out of this place?"
"There is a way." Sun Yousheng pointed to a deep ditch in front of him and said, "As long as the ditch is filled, you can leave."
I took a look and found that this deep ditch was very deep, with only half of the soil inside. The group dug out the soil, then pulled it aside with a trolley and poured it into the deep ditch next to it.
However, there is only so much soil, and this ditch cannot be filled in any way. These people kept digging, filling, digging again, filling again, and again, as if they were stuck in a dead circle that they couldn't get out of.
My heart was cold for a while, and this gap was not filled, it means that this group of people will never get out.
Is there really no way out here
I ignore Sun Yousheng and the others for the time being. These people have forgotten everything. They look at them as if they are stupid, and it's useless to say more. I let go of my eyes and looked behind them.
There is a vague way ahead, but I don't know where to go. If you want to continue looking for an exit, then there is only such a way to go.
"It won't produce results like this." I thought, I had to go down this road, so I had a glimmer of hope and said a few words to Sun Yousheng, hoping that he would understand a little bit.
"If you can't dig out the result, it's better than death." Sun Yousheng's eyes followed me and looked forward blankly, and said: "If you get to the front, you will die."
"Why do I die before I get to the front?" I was surprised when I heard Sun Yousheng's words, and at the same time suddenly felt that their number seemed to be wrong.
At the time, Sun Yousheng led the people from the Heavenly Mystery Gate to search for scholars on the river beach. There were two groups of people before and after. If I remember correctly, there should be about twenty-six or twenty-seven people.
But now, there are only nineteen people left here, seven or eight fewer.
I understood at once, Sun Yousheng and the others must have walked along that road, but they were forced to retreat before they finished walking. Those seven or eight people probably died there.
"What's there over there?" I looked at the endless road, and suddenly felt a little guilty in my heart.
"Over there..." Sun Yousheng said slowly: "There is... a sheep over there."
