Chapter 203
Brother Shu and his friends later looked around and learned that no one was injured or killed, so they summoned Duoyun and left this place of trouble. They were very silent all the way. I was inexplicably guilty and didn't dare to speak. It was not surprising that Brother Shu and Sister Jun did not speak. However, Nan Wu and Sister Gan Yu were both more troublesome, but now they didn't speak.
I hesitated for a moment, and finally opened my mouth to break the stalemate: "Why... no one talks?"
Namo snorted coldly and said, "Do you want to hear us asking you about your well-being?" I said "Uh", feeling a little embarrassed. Now it seems that anyone is in a bad mood, so I don't need to be this bird, so I swear my lips: "Shut up, I won't talk, I'll go to bed first." After that, I lay down and fell asleep, which is rare.
Slowly, a large fog suddenly appeared in front of me. I stumbled into the fog. After walking for a while, a Qingming Festival appeared in front of me. Then I saw a blood-red flower. I was stunned and couldn't help but walk forward a few steps before finally confirming that the flower bushes are indeed the other side of the shore. Could it be that I have come to the underworld again?
I looked around carefully and found that there was a Bodhi tree at the end of the flower bushes on the other side. But why did Bodhi grow in the underworld? It is the sacred tree advocated by Buddhism. Could it be that this is not the underworld, and this road is not the underworld?
I hesitated for a moment. Even though I knew that running around was not a good idea in a strange environment, I really had no way to go now, so I had to take one step at a time.
Because I talked to Brother Shu and the others about the underworld a few years ago, he said that the flowers on the other side of Huangquan Road were bright red, most of which were tempered by human bones and blood, so they were so red. However, after Brother Shu finished speaking, he quickly added that this was just a statement and had no basis; but when did Brother Shu say something that was not sure? Therefore, I walked along the way and walked hard. Even though I was in the form of a soul and could not touch the real thing, I felt uncomfortable. I almost tiptoed over the whole process, for fear of meeting a little flower.
I finally walked to the Bodhi tree, but then I found that there seemed to be someone lying on the tree, but the branches and leaves were lush. I walked up to it and found something.
I carefully looked at the figure lying on it, measuring whether this person was harmful to me, and after a moment of consideration, I still planned to leave. The place was strange, and it looked like an underworld, but another Bodhi tree appeared. Then on this inexplicable ground, another person who was ignorant of his enemies and friends appeared. Now his soul was scattered and he could blow away a gust of wind. Considering conservatively, it would be better for me to leave.
Unexpectedly, after just two steps, I felt like I was tripping something. I was caught off guard and fell directly to the ground, knocking down a large area of red spider lily. My face suddenly turned ashen, and I almost instantly got up and turned to look at the 'culprit'.
Looking back, I only saw a light, and then the man in black clothes was caught in the eyes. He was half lying on the trunk of a tree. I tried hard to see his appearance clearly, but I found that there seemed to be a layer of thick fog in front of him, so I couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly. I nodded in a clear way, knowing that he was using a magic trick, so I didn't stick to the other person's appearance, but I subconsciously felt that he was very malicious.
I frowned and took a step back with little clarity, clenched my fingers, but soon realized that I was just a wisp of dead soul and had no spiritual power, so I let go again, and a smile appeared on my face at the right time: "In Xiayu, who is your priest?"
He smiled, but it seemed like a humming sound from his throat. When he heard it, he felt relieved: "Why are you back?"
I was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Your Excellency...what does this mean?"
Another sneer came over: "Didn't that short man sent you out of the underworld before, why are you back?" I thought about this and understood this sentence, and was a little surprised for a moment: "This is still the underworld? Who is yours?"
He did not answer my question anyway, but jumped out of the tree with impatient face and landed in front of me. He whispered with a bit of a show, "What? The Yin-Yang Reversal Array has not been completed?" My face changed, and it took me a long time to find my voice again: "What do you mean?"
He smiled, lazily put his hand on my shoulder, and then said slowly: "Otherwise? If you want to live, the King of Hell will let you live, but everything must be borrowed or not, right? If you live, someone will die for you. It's very fair, isn't it?"
In an instant, I didn't know what it felt in my heart. In the end, all these emotions turned into anger. I didn't control my emotions and directly swung his fist on his face. He didn't care about it and then took a step back. I didn't hit the blow, and the anger in my heart could not be blocked. I didn't think too much and continued to hit him. But he still had the strength to dodge and joked: "Why be so angry? Didn't you expect it long ago?"
I looked at him coldly, and wanted to slap him in the face, but after considering the huge gap in strength, I quickly calmed down my anger, but I couldn't talk to him calmly. After taking a few deep breaths, I said: "What can I predict? I'm not relying on my brain to live. How do I know that if you say that I'm going to live, I will exchange my life for another life? It would be fine if it was someone else, why did you choose Xiao Ge?"
He smiled and brushed the non-existent ashes on his body, and then said in a casual tone: "Then you mean you rely on your strength." After saying that, he just raised his eyebrows lightly, and there was no sign of mockery. However, after listening to the whole sentence, the desire to hit people before came up again. I secretly reflected on my temper that I seemed to have been much worse recently, while silently reciting the mantra of meditation in my heart.
After a while, I calmed down and spoke in a steady tone: "What's next?"
He looked at me in surprise: "What's next? What's the follow-up if you're almost gone?"
I blinked and then calmly said, "If I really want to finish, you probably won't see me?" He smiled, and the corners of his mouth were not very big and noticeably curled up: "Maybe I'm just too bored." I didn't answer, and used silence to show my attitude.
After a long time, he waved his hand: "If you want to live, there are only two ways, one is to exchange your life for life..." Before I finished speaking, I shook my head and said firmly: "The second one."
He smiled, and there was no annoyance on his face, but said meaningfully: "You have good fortune, otherwise you would not have become an immortal in your twenties."
I "um" for a while, waiting for his words, he looked defeated and said helplessly: "Use your fortune to exchange for your life." I was rarely aware of it. I was still a little confused after staying for a while: "Where is my fortune better? I have left my parents since I was a child. My Xiao Ge also followed me not long ago. I have to be in bad luck, right?"
He frowned, as if he was patient and explained to me: "This is someone else's fortune and has nothing to do with you. If your family is separated, it can only mean that your fortune is not good." I said "Ah", but I still don't understand: "The fate and fortune are the same, right? Anyway, they are already so bad."
He shook his head, his face full of impatientness: "Your fate is rugged. If someone hadn't changed your fate for you, you would have died when you were nine years old. From then on, there will be even more disasters of all sizes. It's just that your purple energy is soaring to the sky, and you will die if you are forced to die... In short, I can resurrect you, but the result may be that you just woke up and then couldn't withstand your miserable fate, and you are back."
I counted on my fingers and found that I was not a loss. Even if I woke up and died, I would have made a few days of profit. Therefore, I still doubted this pie that fell from the sky: "Seriously? It won't be the one that framed me, right?"
He pulled his mouth and replied with a sarcastic smile: "How can that be! My King of Hell wants to protect you. If it weren't for fear that the Tao of Heaven will come to the disaster, you wouldn't have any cost at all, so I'll let you go back." Hearing this, I showed a little surprise, but when I looked at the other party's expression of unwilling to talk too much, I shut up and asked slowly, "What should I do next?"
He stretched his waist, looked at me deeply, then turned his head and replied, "What should I do? Of course, I'm going to walk through the Naihe Bridge and then go out of the gate of hell. Of course... you don't have to drink the soup made by Meng Po, how about it? Are you kind?" After saying that, he walked straight ahead of me without waiting for my answer.
Seeing that I didn't follow, I turned around and shouted: "Come on! Do you still want to stay for tea?"
