The blue smoke was looming in the darkness, and it could be vaguely seen moving. The low sound of the trumpet was vague, and it was extremely eerie in the darkness. From the sound, I felt that those Yin soldiers should be far away from here.
And the road they took should be very long.
"Orange~~~" Fat Wei, who was standing behind Chen Zhi, suddenly asked softly,
"Do you think that if there was no such ship, would we have to walk all the way to Yingdu City on that dark dirt road? That road is only used by people. It is full of ghosts and dark. Let's go
After coming down, you don’t have to peel off a layer of skin? Even if you come out alive, will you still be a human being? You don’t have to be tortured into a ghost?"
After finishing speaking, Fat Wei looked at the looming blue smoke ahead, with unconcealable worry in his eyes.
Chen Zhi knew what he was thinking, and Fat Wei was thinking about his two brothers who entered the underworld. Mingzhou was not that easy to get, and Mingzhou's information was very secret. It was only recorded in the organization, and it was impossible for outsiders to
will know.
If his brother wants to enter Yingdu City, he can only choose to take the weird and dark land route outside, and that road to hell is not something that human will can persevere. Even if the team goes there now with full force, Chen Zhi still has no choice but to go there.
It's hard to imagine what the outcome would be.
"Maybe he can survive! I don't know..." Chen Zhi shook his head and said nothing more. He didn't want to lie to Fat Wei, but at this time, he also didn't want to affect Fat Wei's mood.
The Mingzhou boat was still moving forward quickly. After a while, they saw a very obvious black shadow in front of them. The black shadow took on a huge arch shape and was stuck at the bend of the Wangchuan River.
As the boat approached, everyone saw clearly what the black shadow was. It was a stone bridge.
At this time, a familiar term appeared in almost everyone's mind, Naihe Bridge.
Naihe Bridge is a landmark building with the most descriptions of the underworld in folklore, and Po Meng is also often mentioned together.
In the legend, after death, people have to pass through the Huangquan Road to be reincarnated. Before reincarnation, they have to pass through the Naihe Bridge on the Wangchuan River. On the Naihe Bridge, there is a kind old woman named "Meng Po" who keeps cooking a pot of water.
"Forgetting" is the seasoning of the soup. Anyone who wants to be reincarnated must drink the soup cooked by Meng Po. After drinking this bowl of Meng Po soup, he will completely forget everything about his previous life and go to reincarnation with peace of mind. Therefore, people always
It is because they do not remember the events of their previous life. There is also a legend that the soup ingredients in the bowl of Mengpo soup are actually the tears of this life shed by the reincarnated people on the Naihe Bridge. When they drink Mengpo soup, they remember the past one by one.
Once you taste it, you will forget it.
However, in the fourth volume of the ancient book "Xuanshi Zhi", there is a description of the Naihe Bridge on the Wangchuan River in the underworld. It is recorded: "Walking for more than ten miles, we reached a river, several feet wide, flowing to the southwest.
The water is full of blood, but the fishy filth cannot be approached. Because there is a bridge over the river, it is called "Naihe Bridge". The bridge is dangerous, narrow and slippery. Under the bridge, the bloody river is full of insects and snakes. The waves are rolling, the fishy wind is blowing, and evil spirits and ghosts fall into the river.
Falling into the river forever with no way out.
Chen Zhi turned on the searchlight and looked forward. He saw that the black stone bridge in front of him was not as weird and legendary as described. The bridge looked larger than the ordinary stone bridge, with large stones on it.
Built into bricks.
The bridge deck is an ordinary arc-shaped structure, with a large bridge hole underneath. The stone railings on the bridge are very sparse. It looks like a small stone bridge common in southern rural areas, except that the model is a bit larger, and there is nothing special about it.
But on the left front of the stone bridge, there was a large dark shadow, larger than the entire bridge, covering most of the bridge, and it was so dark that it was difficult to see what it was.
"Is this the legendary Naihe Bridge...",
Fat Wei had been in a deep state just now. Only then did he wake up when he saw the bridge. He whispered to Chen Zhi, "If this is really the Naihe Bridge, then shouldn't there be an old Mrs. Meng on this bridge with a big bowl?"
Do you want people to drink soup...".
"Meng Po is just a legend, but all legends have a true epitome. I think the so-called Meng Po may be the manager of this bridge," Chen Zhi replied in a low voice.
Chen Zhi had seen the location of this bridge on the map of Huangquan. This is an important corner. After crossing this bridge, it is the main waterway of the Wangchuan River, leading directly to the capital city of Ying.
Mingzhou obviously slowed down after arriving here. Instead of continuing to move forward, it slowly drove to the shore more than ten meters in front of the Naihe Bridge and stopped.
Only then did everyone see that there was a building on the shore here. It was about five or six stories high. It went straight up and down without a door. It was like a big pavilion. You couldn't see clearly inside, but you could see it.
There are many facilities inside and outside, just like the road cards for customs clearance, but the specific image is not clear.
The boat is swaying here, moored on the shore, as if waiting for permission to enter.
Fat Wei stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the dark house. He put his hand on the handle of the knife and whispered in Chen Zhi's ear,
"Is that place the office of the administrator of Naihe Bridge? If that's true... do you think there is such a thing as Po Meng? If so... is she still alive now?"
"I don't know!" Chen Zhi also put his hand on the handle of the knife and said in a very low voice, "In the legend, some people say that Po Meng is a ghost, some say that it is an immortal, and some say that when everything was in chaos at the beginning of the world,
Meng Po has existed since then and is a scattered old god. Meng Po may be just a legend, but this bridge must be guarded by someone.
We have also seen along the way that the checkpoints in this underworld are extremely strict. We are taking the water route. If we take the land route, it will definitely be more difficult with many checkpoints. This bridge is the only checkpoint on the Wangchuan River, and there must be an administrator.
Something like this exists, but it is unknown what this manager is. If this thing is really alive, it is probably not as kind as Po Meng..."
Chen Zhi and a group of others leaned down on the boat, hiding themselves in the darkness, holding long knives in their hands, holding their breath and looking at the black building in front of them with vigilance, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Inside the building in front
It was still dark, not a shadow could be seen, and there was no sound.
After the boat was parked for a while, it began to shake again, but instead of continuing to move forward, it staggered towards the huge black shadow beside the bridge.
Ming Zhou moved forward all the way, and when he was only five or six meters away from the black shadow, the Ghost Sword suddenly jumped over to protect Chen Zhi. He unsheathed his long sword and looked ahead as if facing a formidable enemy.
Everyone was startled by Ghost Sword's behavior and hurriedly looked forward, only to see the huge black shadow becoming more and more clear under the searchlight. When they saw the whole scene, they were all stunned. It turned out that
The huge black shadow turned out to be the corpse of a giant nailed to the bridge.
