Chapter 5 The rootless and painted garden
At that time, the ground below the Wangxiang stage was only a few meters high from me. My falling speed exceeded the speed of jumping off the firewood stack when I was a child. The only thought in my heart was that I was over. However, after about 0:00 seconds, I developed feelings for a female ghost because she saved me.
Chen Hongdie flew over, why did she say it was flying? Because after she caught me, she hugged me and moved parallel to me for a while. I looked at her shy pale cheeks and looked at her clothes swaying in the wind, and absurd thoughts arise in my heart. People are all heroes to save beauty, but I have become a beauty to save bears.
When she hugged me in a princess hug, I was still shocked when I hugged her. I looked at her and she looked at me. Suddenly she threw me on the ground.
I felt so painful that I uttered my pain and quickly got up. Only then did I find that there were many ghosts besides me who were hit by the guy who ran away. They were not as lucky as me, and they fell to pieces.
I was scared for a moment. If there was no Shen Hongdie, I wouldn't have to return the sun, and I wouldn't have even the next life.
The ghost who caused trouble was soon subdued, and four ghost soldiers pressed him toward Huangquan Road.
Chen Hongdie had a hint of embarrassment on her face because of what happened just now. At this time, she pointed to the ghost and said that this person would probably stay in the eighteenth level hell forever and not have to come out.
I mourned for him for a while in my heart, speculating about what he saw on the Wangxiang platform. I guess it was only after I died that the child was not my own. My wife was lusting herself in the mourning hall, otherwise I could not be so excited.
Chen Hongdie looked at me with a strange expression. After a long time, she slaps me, dirty!
I took a step back because Chen Hongdie actually spitted out a mouthful of spit.
Can you know what I was thinking? I looked frightened and didn't even bother to think about how her ghost body spitted out.
Chen Hongdie turned around and said, "Tsk, I'm too lazy to know now."
I stood there and scratched my head. How could I call it dirty? Is this a reasonable guess? And the accuracy rate is as high as 100%.
"It's too dangerous downstairs, follow me." Chen Hongdie's voice came.
I looked at her back and hesitated, and she spoke again, "I know you are here to find your own substitute. With me in my hands."
I was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt that it was not a chance for me to meet her, but what made me even more curious was why my substitute was with her.
But she saved my life just now, so she probably had no malice. As I thought about it, I followed her.
Chen Hongdie slowed down and walked side by side with me. I couldn't help asking her why my substitute was in her hands.
She smiled and said, "Don't think too much." I just saw that your substitute was made of human souls. I was a little curious, so I took it back."
I am a little too big. This girl looks pretty. Why does she seem to have some problems with her mind? She was curious and picked up her substitute home. Is this a trash?
Chen Hongdie did not take me to Huangquan Road, but passed through a wasteland below Wangxiang and walked on another road. Looking back, you could see a crossroads, one of which was Huangquan Road. There was a huge architectural shadow across the Huangquan Road, but because the distance was too far, I couldn't see the specifics clearly.
There is still a road behind me, which is a road full of blood-red flowers on both sides. There are no ghosts on it, and occasionally one of them is not followed by ghost soldiers. These ghosts are very different from what I have seen before, because they all have smiles on their faces, as if they have encountered some happy events.
As for the path that Shen Hongdie and I took, I was a little daring because there was not a single ghost on it.
I asked Chen Hongdie where she was going. Chen Hongdie said she was going to Wugeng, where her home was.
I have never heard of such a place in the underworld, but I didn't ask, because I only know a little about the underworld, such as Wangxiangtai, Huangquan Road, Naihe Bridge, Mengpo Soup, and the eighteen levels of hell... This is what I see from the novel. Since her family lives here, she must know more than me.
I asked her why she didn't go to reincarnate, but she didn't answer. I saw a deep loneliness on her face. After a long time, she said she was waiting for someone.
Endless resentment emanated from her body, and I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't breathe. As I guess there was a heart-wrenching love here, I quickly changed the topic.
We talked a lot along the way, but most of them were content without nutrition, and she was basically the dominant topic because I didn’t dare to talk nonsense anymore, for fear that something would happen to her if it would irritate her.
The surrounding scenery gradually changed, and the bare mountain was left behind by us, and now there are swamps on both sides.
The mud slums below were covered with the marsh, and no plants grew here. Occasionally there was a place without swamps that was convenient for a house.
These houses are different and all have their doors closed. Some houses are probably no one inside, judging from the dilapidation.
Soon, a boundary marker appeared in front of me, with three big characters written on it, rootless. The big characters are the same as the one on Huangquan Road, and there are also small characters engraved.
The tree without roots is in secluded, and the flowers are in secluded. Who is willing to stop greed for glory? The boats in the sea of life are hard to float away and float without freedom. It is boundless and shoreless, so they often swim in dangerous places. If you are willing to turn back, it is the shore. Don’t wait for the storm to ruin the boat.
Chen Hongdie stroked the stone tablet, a bitter smile appeared on her face, and pointed to it, this is my home.
I was shocked to see the quaint manor. It was much more grand than the broken houses in the swamps. I thought it was a public building in the underworld, but I didn't expect it to be her house.
I feel more and more that Chen Hongdie is not simple anymore. If there is real estate in the underworld, then this land is definitely not something that ordinary people can occupy.
There is a plaque made of unknown wood hanging at the door of the manor, with three big characters painted in the garden.
I asked Chen Hongdie if she gave the name, and what is the meaning?
Chen Hongdie nodded, but did not explain the meaning.
I spread my hands, and I guess she had such a name on a whim.
Chen Hongdie invited me into the yard. The yard was empty and there was nothing. I asked her why she didn’t plant some flowers, plants and trees. She said that nothing could grow in this rootless land.
When I entered the house, I saw a person who looked exactly like me standing at the door. The feeling of looking at myself standing in front of me is different from looking in the mirror. However, he is a little different from me. His eyes are very empty and he can't see any emotional colors.
Before I could take my next move, I felt a strong attraction between myself and him, like two magnets. Of course, my magnetic properties are stronger because I was sucked by him!
