"It doesn't matter what kind of bridge it is, I'm only interested in the coffin at the end of the bridge!" Lao Li seemed to have no cultural accomplishments at first glance, so I didn't bother to talk to him. I said clearly, "Memorize any literal things you encounter! Hua Jianguo told me."
Lao Li was stunned for a moment. "Brother, are you not crazy? Look at that stone tablet. Are you sure you can carry it?"
Liu Xin said contemptuously, "As an expert, aim for the side with the words to be about two centimeters wide. As long as it doesn't hurt the carving, then cut it off. It's just like cutting tofu. Carry the whole thing on your back, just you and me." Even the body of a chick can be thought of, cut."
"Let's take a look at the contents of the coffin first." I made clear the direction and everyone walked towards the coffin.
"Wait!" Lao Li suddenly stopped everyone!
"What's wrong? Did you see your wife?" the fourth brother asked in confusion!
"Screw you, I was worried that there was a mechanism on the bridge or something!" Old Li said angrily.
"Brother Li is right!" I thought of the two lives last time, and felt a chill in my heart.
Lao Li stepped forward and searched around, lifted up a stone bench on the ground, and then rolled it across the bridge like a bowling ball.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, everyone was relieved! "Everyone, follow the path of the stone bench!" Lao Li still reminded him. The stone bench is not big, but it is just big enough for us to pass!
Lao Li takes the lead, and the fourth brother is second! Lao Li went on the bridge, but the fourth brother still didn't leave. I said, "Why don't you leave?" The fourth brother said mischievously, "I'll leave if he's fine." I smiled evilly and said, "You're so unreasonable!"
Unexpectedly, something happened right after he finished speaking. Lao Li was fine at first, but when he reached the center of the bridge, he suddenly stopped walking. He would cry for a while and beat his chest for a while. Then he suddenly took out a Luoyang shovel and slapped himself in the face with the shovel! Blood splattered in one shot!
Then he lay straight on the bridge! "I'll go, Lao Li is going crazy," the fourth brother said in horror.
The sudden change left us at a loss. But Lao Li must be rescued, otherwise he will die soon. Liu Xin took out the rake that was used to hook the baby from the small end of the coffin. She tied the rope with the end of the hand and threw it just enough to hook it on Lao Li's belt. My fourth brother and I quickly dragged him over. When we dragged him back, Lao Li's pants They all fell off and stuck on the calf, revealing a pair of red underwear, which was still a little yellow.
Liu Xin turned her head and looked at the surrounding situation, and we quickly put on Lao Li's pants.
After a rough inspection, Lao Li seemed to have suffered some skin trauma, nothing serious. After a while, Lao Li woke up.
I said, "Brother Li, what happened to you just now?"
"Yes, when I saw your posture just now, I thought you were going to perform Iron Head Kung Fu, but it failed." The fourth brother looked at the red mark in the center of Lao Li's face and couldn't help but want to laugh.
"I was just on the bridge, walking well, and suddenly I thought in my mind that what I did was so wicked. Then I felt that I really deserved to die, it was so evil, and I didn't know how it could be like this."
"What were you doing on the bridge?" I asked eagerly
"I didn't do anything, I just crossed the bridge." Old Li looked very innocent, but I guess he couldn't remember it. That shovel was so weird.
"If we can't cross the bridge, what should we do?" my fourth brother asked me.
"Then let's walk under the bridge, what else can we do?" Liu Xin said helplessly.
This time I went alone first. The fourth brother volunteered to go and test the water first. I guess it was Liu Xin who was here and wanted to show off.
I tied the climbing rope around the fourth brother's waist, and the fourth brother walked forward carefully step by step.
When he reached the center of the bridge, something strange happened again. The fourth brother's movements were obviously like a lot of things grabbing his feet, but we didn't see anything. We just saw him jumping and dancing like a clown. He cried, and then bumped his head against the bridge pier. He fell down before he could even pull himself up.
We quickly pulled the fourth brother back. Apart from the big bump on his head, the fourth brother had no other injuries. Maybe he just fainted. After Lao Li couldn't see directly, the fourth brother slowly woke up after the rescue operation.
"What's wrong with you? Why can't you think about it so hard?" Lao Li teased him.
"Yeah, hey hey, what's wrong with you?" Liu Xin looked at the appearance of her fourth brother and couldn't help laughing. There's no way this guy looks really funny. There was a big bag on his forehead, like a light bulb!
"I, I was walking, and then it was like I was in a ghost movie. There were many hands on the ground grabbing my feet, and then slowly people came out and asked me to replace them, and then suddenly many snakes and dogs rushed out, and I In a hurry, he turned around and ran, hitting the bridge pier directly." The fourth brother recalled carefully.
After getting their answers, I finally understood. I told everyone, "This bridge is the same as the legendary Naihe Bridge. It is the only place where ghosts prepare to reincarnate after going through the ten palaces of Yama. On the Naihe Bridge, there will be a The elderly female deity known as Meng Po gives each ghost a bowl of Meng Po soup to forget the memories of the past life and reincarnate into the next life. Legend has it that when the dead arrive at the Naihe Bridge, those who were guilty during their lifetime will be pushed into the "Blood River Pool" by the bull-headed and horse-faced people on both sides. "Suffering from insects, ants, poisonous snakes, it is very simple for the deceased who did good deeds in life to cross the bridge."
"Then those two statues of generals!" Liu Xin said, and several flashlights shined on the statues. Sure enough! I didn't look carefully just now, but now I see that one is indeed a bull-headed general and the other is a horse-faced general, but the carvings are very anthropomorphic, so I can't tell them apart.
Looking at the twelve zodiac signs on the other side, each one also has a suspicious expression and a strange shape!
"Damn it, I still don't believe in this evil. There must be some kind of secret door. We didn't find it, so we caught him. To be rough on him, I'll break the stone statue first!" After speaking, Lao Li rushed forward, and it was even stranger. The only thing is that no matter how he walks, he can never reach the stone statue!
Lao Li yelled anxiously, "Damn it, I'm a fool! Leave quickly, this place is too weird?"
If it were someone else, they might not be able to understand it, but I have played with formations after all. I could tell at a glance that the stone sculptures of different sizes on the ground were definitely not placed randomly. Each one definitely had its use. It’s just that We don't understand this!
Thinking of this, I called Lao Li back. Looking at the stone bridge, I silently recited the three words Naihe Bridge. Suddenly I remembered that Du Juan once said a paragraph about Naihe Bridge in the sugar-coated bullet she gave me.
The bluestone bridge deck has five steps, with women on the west of the bridge and men on the east of the bridge, yin on the left and yang on the right. One day above ground, one year below ground. No matter who dies first, you or I, we have been waiting on the bridge for tens of thousands of years. We must not forget each other! It's a pity that it doesn't matter whether it's a thousand-year look back or a hundred-year promise. This is the fate of Du Juan and I in this life.
According to folk legends, according to the fourth volume of "Xuanshi Zhi": "After walking for more than ten miles, we came to a river, which was not many feet wide and flowed to the southwest. When I asked Xi, Xi said: 'This custom is called Naihe. The source comes from the underworld. If you look at it, you will see that the water is filled with blood and is fishy and filthy. Do not go near it." Because there is a bridge on the river, it is named "Naihe Bridge". The bridge is dangerous, narrow and smooth, and is guarded day and night by the God of Day and Night. The blood river under the bridge is full of insects and snakes, the waves are rolling, and the fishy wind is blowing against your face. Those who were guilty during their lifetime would be pushed into the "Blood River Pool" by the bull-headed and horse-faced people on both sides and tortured by insects, ants, and poisonous snakes. The deceased who had done good deeds during his lifetime could simply cross the bridge, and then drink the Meng Po soup prepared by Meng Po on the Naihe Bridge. Forget the memory of the past life and reincarnate into the next life. In addition, the Naihe Bridge is also described in the tenth chapter of the famous ancient Chinese mythological novel "Journey to the West". The original text reads: "The copper snake and the iron dog will compete for food, and they will fall into the Naihe River forever with no way out." Naihe Bridge, some say it has three floors, others say it has three! The bridge is divided into three levels (or three). The ghosts of good people can pass through the upper bridge safely. Those who are both good and evil can pass through the middle bridge. The ghosts of evil people can pass through the lower bridge. Most of them are blocked by the ghosts and go into the dirty waves under the bridge. , but what we saw was indeed a bridge, only one level. !
Thinking of this, I looked at Lao Li. Yes, he was on the wrong side.
"I'll go up this time." I tied up the climbing rope for myself and looked at my fourth brother. At this time, I felt like the wind was rustling and the water was cold.
Regardless of everyone's objections, I stood in front of the bridge and observed carefully, if according to folklore. Standing at the end of the bridge, I observed the bridge carefully and understood instantly. The width of the bridge deck is exactly three bridge bricks. It turns out that the left and right sides represent good and evil, and the middle is the soy sauce!
What Lao Li just left was evil. After thinking about it, I am not a good person, but I am not a bad person either. I am still kind. Thinking of this, I specifically told Lao Li and Fourth Brother to pull the rope as quickly as possible if anything happens!
I walked step by step in the middle and found nothing unusual. However, when I stood in the middle of the bridge, the eyes of the bull-headed and horse-faced statue in the distance seemed to reflect light, shining brightly.
"Zhou Kong, in fact, I know everything you have done for me! I love you too!"
When I turn around, it’s Du Juan! Why is she here? Her voice is so clear, it is like the sound of nature to me.
"Juan, is it you? I miss you so much, it's so painful to miss you!" I wiped away my tears.
"What's the point of crying? I hate people who love to cry. I don't even look in the mirror to see how you look. Are you worthy of me? As my roommate said, you can only be a friend, not a friend. The one I’m going to marry!”
Listening to his words, I felt as if I couldn't live anymore. I looked under the bridge and stood on the edge. Just when I was about to jump off to end the pain, I suddenly felt someone pulling me back. Then I was slapped in various ways. When I woke up, Lao Li was still beating me hard!
"Stop, the fun is here, right?" I quickly told them to stop, fearing that they would beat me to death.
Lao Li stopped what he was doing and asked me, "What happened to you just now? Why did you laugh, cry, and then jump off the bridge?"
I thought about it carefully and looked at the bull-headed and horse-faced noodles! Then he looked at the twelve zodiac signs around him. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that we had encountered a hard problem this time. Could this thing be the legendary Qimen Dunjia technique? I don't know.
Why do we need twelve zodiac signs when we have a bull head and a horse face? By the way, I suddenly remembered a passage from Teacher Sun's notes: Gan horse, Kun ox, Zhen dragon, Sunda rooster, Kan hog, Li pheasant, Gen dog and Dui sheep. Got it!
