Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 760 Wangchuan and Naihe...

On the other shore.

One by one, the red spider lilies broke through the soil.

The flower buds that are about to bloom are as red as blood, as if they are burning with flames.

Feng Qingyan stood among the red spider lilies in a white robe, silently looking at the dead souls in the sea of ​​suffering, then turned and walked towards the reincarnation millstone.

The reincarnation millstone has completely merged with the netherworld and the underworld, leaving only a millstone eye.

The former Demonic Abyss was the grinding eye of the Cursed Millstone, but now it has become the entrance to reincarnation, the Samsara Pond.

At this moment, the power of reincarnation emanating from the Samsara Pond was working with the laws of the netherworld to construct his ideal underworld...

First is the road to the underworld, then is the sea of ​​suffering.

He stood in front of the Samsara Pond, and two black lights instantly sank into the pond.

If he had not become one with the netherworld and the wheel of reincarnation, even his magical power of "breaking the void and seeing the subtle" would not be able to shine into the pond of reincarnation, let alone peek into reincarnation.

But at this time.

He saw countless grinding teeth in the wheel of reincarnation, and on each tooth, there were mysterious runes engraved, flashing with a mysterious aura.

Countless mysterious forces are intertwined together, making it impossible to see clearly, let alone understand.

But his gaze continued along the grinding teeth.

Finally, it arrived at the dark grinding groove.

He was somewhat familiar with this grinding groove, but the aura had become different.

When his gaze passed through the millstone, he arrived at the Dark Hell.

this means.

There is only one way to go in the current reincarnation...

It is the road that leads to the dark hell.

But at the moment.

Feng Qingyan was still not in a hurry to find the code for immortality.

He withdrew his gaze from the Samsara Pond, stepped up into the air step by step, stood high above the Samsara Pond, and stared at the Yellow Spring River in the distance...

The Yellow Spring River begins at the Yellow Spring Ghost Land and ends at the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

The Yellow Spring Ghost Land and the Yellow Sea are located at the two ends of the Netherworld, which means that the Yellow Spring River almost flows through the Netherworld...

The Yellow Springs River is not a straight line.

At this moment, Feng Qingyan closed his eyes, thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and came to the center of the Yellow Springs River.

"In the way of yin and yang, the extreme of yin is life, and the extreme of yang is death..."

Feng Qingyan said lightly.

Wisps of the power of reincarnation came from the reincarnation millstone and fell on the Yellow Spring River. And in the gray sky, chains of laws were hanging down...

The power of reincarnation and the chains of law are intertwined.

"A line of yin and yang determines life and death!"

Feng Qingyan said again.

At this moment, the chains of laws and the power of reincarnation are intertwined and suddenly fall into the Yellow Springs River, causing tremendous changes in the Yellow Springs River.

"From then on, fog rose up the River of Oblivion."

Feng Qingyan Road.

As he finished speaking, a thick fog suddenly rose over the Yellow Springs River. The fog was a strange gray color, making it impossible to see the other side of the river...

Rumbling--

And at this time.

The Yellow Springs River also began to shake and gradually changed.

In Fengdu City, in front of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, many dead souls and ghost soldiers noticed the changes in the Yellow Spring River and looked at it in amazement...

"Why is there fog in the Yellow Springs River?"

"Why does this fog look so strange? It's impossible to see through it. It seems to be completely isolated."

In front of the sea of ​​suffering, beside the Yellow Springs River.

The Bu Yin soldiers were extremely surprised and looked curiously at the Yellow Springs River which was undergoing drastic changes at this moment.

"Hey, it seems like the Yellow Spring River is moving."

"Yes, the Yellow Springs River is indeed moving..."

This scene was even more shocking, leaving both the Ghost General and the Ghost Master stunned.

The section of Yellow Spring River in front of the Sea of ​​Bitterness did not move much, but the Yellow Spring River in the center of the Netherworld moved amazingly...

Like running on the earth.

Not bad.

In the eyes of the commander-in-chief and the ghost king.

The Yellow Spring River in the center of the Netherworld is indeed running on the land...

This scene left the commander-in-chief and the Ghost King stunned. They were unable to come back to their senses for a long time. The Ghost King could not help but rub his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

The Yellow Springs River is running?

This is really hell!
In the dark land.

The Yellow Spring River is an irregular river, with nine bends and eighteen turns...

but now.

The Yellow Springs River seems to be straightening?
That’s not right either…

The commander-in-chief frowned and found that the Yellow Spring River was gradually taking an S shape.

However, at this time, a strange gray fog suddenly appeared on the Yellow Spring River, making it impossible to see the other side of the river...

In other words.

Even the Great Commander can only see the shore where he is...

As for the other shore, the view was completely blocked.

"Commander-in-chief, how did the Yellow Spring River come back? Why did it suddenly start running?" A ghost king frowned and asked in confusion, "Could this be the Lord of the Mansion..."

"Besides the Lord of the Mansion, who else is there?"

There is the King of Ghosts.

"However, why does this Yellow Spring River seem to exude the aura of laws? Well, it seems to be somewhat similar to the Sea of ​​Bitterness, both of which exude the aura of laws..."

"It contains the laws of heaven and earth!"

The Great Commander said.

At this moment, the Yellow Spring River, which originally twisted and turned, was pulled into an S shape by Feng Qingyan, just like the yin and yang lines in the Tai Chi diagram, dividing the netherworld into two...

The fog rising over the Yellow Springs River grew thicker.

At this moment, the commander-in-chief could not see the other side at all, or rather, he could only see the other side, some very blurry scenes, which made people a little panicked...

"That's strange, why is there fog in the Yellow Springs River?"

"Can't see clearly."

The Yinbing Road in front of the Yellow Springs River.

"Huh, it can't fly over?"

A ghost general saw the Yellow Spring River fogging up and wanted to fly to the other side to see what was going on. However, he suddenly found that he could not fly over, as if there was an invisible force blocking him...

"Can't fly?"

"No way? How can it not fly?"

Many ghost generals and ghost masters were surprised and flew up one after another, trying to fly over the Yellow Spring River. However, they were all blocked by an invisible force, and no one could fly over the Yellow Spring River...

"How could this be?"

"Why can't it fly?"

The ghost soldiers suddenly became agitated.

The commander-in-chief and other ghost kings were surprised when they heard this, and then they tried to fly over. However, they were unable to fly over...

While the dead souls and ghost soldiers were panicking, Feng Qingyan came to the section of the river connecting to the Yellow Springs Road and walked down.

"The monument is coming."

He gave a light drink.

A huge rock flew over and landed on the river bank with a bang.

"Forget River——"

Feng Qingyan wrote the words "Wangchuan" on the boulder.

From then on, the Yellow Spring River was renamed the "Forgetful River", and no one, whether ghost soldiers or dead souls, could cross it...

Unless there is a bridge!
And the bridge is naturally not an ordinary bridge.

In the previous life, there was a bridge on the Wangchuan River, named Naihe Bridge. Only this bridge could allow the dead souls and ghost soldiers to cross the Wangchuan River...

From now on.

If the dead soul cannot cross the Forgotten River, it will not be able to reach the Samsara Pond.

That is to say, it is impossible to be reincarnated.

At this time, the Netherworld has the Yellow Spring Ghost Land and the Samsara Pond located at the two ends of the Netherworld. The Wangchuan River forms an S-shaped line, like the yin and yang lines in the Tai Chi diagram, separating them...

The Wangchuan River was drawn into a yin-yang line by Feng Qingyan, not just out of impulse, but in accordance with the principles of yin and yang.

The dead soul is a person's new life after death, carrying all the memories of the previous life, and can be said to represent "life".

And behind the Forgotten River.

The dead soul is about to face judgment, erase all memories, and finally reincarnate, which represents "death".

but.

The extreme of yang is yin, and the extreme of yin is yang!
When reincarnated, it represents death for the soul. But, for the soul, it is its rebirth...

Therefore, the extreme of death becomes life again.

Of course, the ultimate of life is also death.

For the dead souls, when they have flesh and blood, they are "dead". However, when the dead souls are alive, the living are dead...

The way of yin and yang, the extreme of yin is life, and the extreme of yang is death...

This is why Feng Qingyan built the Wangchuan River, because the existence of the Wangchuan River is not without reason...

now.

Feng Qingyan stood at the end of the Yellow Springs Road, looking at the Forgotten River.

The Wangchuan River represents the dividing line between life and death, and its function is to divide the yin and yang of heaven and earth, as well as to punish lonely ghosts, etc.

but.

It's not just that.

"In the folk legends of my previous life, there is a bridge over the Wangchuan River, named Naihe. The bridge is dangerous, narrow and slippery, and is guarded day and night by the Day Wandering God and the Night Wandering God. Under the bridge, the bloody river is full of insects and snakes, with rolling waves and a fishy wind blowing in your face..."

"After a person dies, his soul must cross this bridge."

"The good ones will be blessed by the gods and Buddhas and will cross the bridge smoothly; while the evil ones will be thrown into the river of blood and suffer..."

"And the Naihe Bridge is divided into three layers, or three bridges."

"The good ones can safely cross the upper bridge, the half-good and half-evil ones can cross the middle bridge, and the evil ones can cross the lower bridge, but they will often be bitten by bronze snakes and iron dogs..."

"And this is only to embarrass and punish those who come?"

Feng Qingyan smiled suddenly.

Naturally not.

In fact, Naihe Bridge has another very important function, which is to distinguish good from evil...

The other features are just incidental.

The Naihe Bridge can distinguish between good and evil, which can greatly reduce the workload of the underworld.

After all, how many dead souls enter the underworld every day?
Too numerous to count.

Moreover, if the dead souls are punished on the Naihe Bridge and interrogated again in the Yama Palace, they will naturally confess all their evil deeds...

This is also a means of interrogation!

In addition, Naihe Bridge represents the "touchstone bridge" that connects the underworld and the human world, examines kindness and evil, and declares life and death.

Whether it is the Naihe Bridge or the Wangchuan River, neither is redundant and both hide important functions.

Their existence has its rationale.

But at this time.

Feng Qingyan was not in a hurry to build the Naihe Bridge.

After all, there are still some things that he needs to think through thoroughly.

After a while.

He turned and looked at Huangquan Road and the red spider lilies on both sides.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the red spider lily has not yet bloomed.

otherwise.

He could hear sighs among the flowers of the other shore.

The fragrance of the red spider lily has magical powers that can evoke the memories of the deceased. However, when a person dies and becomes a ghost, he or she will lose some of his or her memories.

In more serious cases, I can't even remember what I did.

But the existence of the red spider lily can evoke their memories of their previous lives, just making up for this shortcoming...

and.

The red spider lily also makes sighs.

What’s the use of sighing?
This is related to the Naihe Bridge.

In the sigh, there is endless sadness and helplessness, and this "helplessness" is the focus of the sigh.

"Helpless, that is, there is nothing we can do!"

At this moment, Feng Qingyan turned around and his eyes fell on the Wangchuan River again. However, he was not looking at the Wangchuan River, but the "Naihe Bridge" on the Wangchuan River...

Although at this moment.

There is no Naihe Bridge over the Wangchuan River, but that doesn't stop him from imagining one.

"What can I do? What can I do? There is nothing I can do..."

Feng Qingyan said slowly, and walked onto the Wangchuan River, stepping on the river mist, "On the way to the underworld, the fragrance of flowers awakens the memories of the dead souls before they died, and after they have memories, they naturally know everything now."

"But even if you know, what can you do?"

"Can I return to the human world?"

"Of course not!"

"Can you still realize your unfulfilled wishes?"

"You can't do that either!"

"Can I still enjoy everything I had before I died?"

"So, I can only sigh and say what I can do..."

"When you walk onto the Naihe Bridge, your helpless emotions will reach their peak. You can't help but feel the separation from your loved ones, you can't help but never see each other again in this life, and you can't help but feel the unknown in the next life..."

"Everything in your life, whether you like it or not, must be cut off!"

"Moreover, walking on the Naihe Bridge indicates that this is the last time a person has memories of this life, because the next step is the underworld..."

"At this moment, many people are still clinging to their unfulfilled wishes from their previous lives, but they deeply understand that these wishes will never come true, and they will let out a long sigh!"

"Naihe Bridge, Naihe Bridge."

"That's why it's called Naihe Bridge."

and.

This is also a means of interrogation.

It is an extremely advanced method that does not require the intervention of ghosts at all. Instead, it uses the red spider lily, the Naihe Bridge, the Forgetful River, etc. to influence the mood of the dead souls.

When they reflect on themselves, they will realize their mistakes and will be more likely to let go of the crimes they have committed...

This will not only reduce the workload of the underworld, but also serve as a warning, encouraging good and punishing evil...

in fact.

Whether it is the Yellow Springs River, the Red Spider Lily, the Forgetful River, the Naihe Bridge, etc., their true function and the meaning of their existence are to warn the world.

Promote good and punish evil!

"Accumulate virtue and practice, and the Naihe Bridge will be easy to cross;"

"Greed brings disaster, and there is no escape from the mountain of sharp knives."

Feng Qingyan recited while waving his hands, and finally shouted softly: "Naihe Bridge, rise."

Rumbling--

Chains of laws fell one after another, and countless powers of reincarnation surged in, slowly constructing a vague stone arch bridge...

As time passed, the stone arch bridge became clearer and clearer.

But this bridge.

The bridge is only about four feet wide, with carved stone railings on both sides, slightly curved, and seemingly paved with bluestone. At this moment, Feng Qingyan walked onto the stone arch bridge and waved gently at the carved stone railings, and countless red spider lilies emerged...

It’s a pity that the red spider lilies have not yet bloomed, otherwise I would be sighing.

"This bridge is called Naihe."

Feng Qingyan stood at the highest point of the stone arch bridge and said, "If you accumulate virtue and practice, it will be easy to cross the Naihe Bridge; if you are greedy and commit sins, it will be difficult to escape from the Jiandao Mountain."

As he finished speaking, chains of laws hung down from the sky and were tightly connected to the Naihe Bridge.

"The bronze snake and the iron dog fight for food, and they fall into the Nai River forever with no way out."

Feng Qingyan said again.

Then, the bronze snakes and iron dogs appeared as he finished speaking, and rushed towards the bridge frantically. At this moment, the bridge was full of vicious and cruel bronze snakes and iron dogs, as if they would not give up until they had torn away the dead souls on the bridge...

"This is the lower bridge, which is taken by those who have committed serious sins."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Naihe Bridge suddenly changed, becoming eerie and terrifying, and countless bronze snakes and iron dogs could be vaguely seen on the bridge.

Their eyes are extremely vicious and creepy.
