Chapter 55 Difficulties
After Chen Meiyu explained, she took Li Damin's hand and walked in front, and I followed behind.
The stairs are deep and black, winding and turning, leading to the darkest depths below.
After walking down for a long time, the stairs were still not completed, and the end was almost invisible. The air was filled with white flying catkins, as if it was snowing. At this moment, the scene was both weird and sad.
I really couldn't help it and wanted to communicate with them, but Chen Meiyu had already emphasized just now that she must not speak, so she gritted her teeth and held back.
The stairs reached the end and there was light outside.
The light is not strong, it is as soft as if wrapped in oil paper.
Chen Meiyu pulled Li Damin out of the stairs and walked into the light. I quickly followed. After walking out, it started to snow heavily in the sky outside. The snowflakes were very broken, flying in the sky, without wind. These snowflakes were like paper ash coming out of burning paper.
The light came from the street light not far away, and Chen Meiyu said softly, "Brother Li, have you seen the light?"
"See." Li Damin's voice was a little hoarse, "It's a street light."
"Did you see me?" the girl asked.
Li Damin took a breath and said, "I can feel you pulling me, right next to me, but I can't see you."
I heard it strangely behind and said, "Then can you see me?"
When Li Damin heard my voice, he was surprised and was about to turn around. Chen Meiyu said loudly, "Don't look back, we have reached the bardo realm, we must not go back, we must not look at the road of time."
Li Damin smiled bitterly, "I feel that this ghost place is only me. You two are in a safe area, and I am taking risks here myself."
"I'm here too." Chen Meiyu said softly, "We want to find my father now, just follow the light."
Li Damin walked towards the street lights, Chen Meiyu followed, and I quickly followed behind. When I arrived at the street lights, Chen Meiyu asked softly, "What did you see?"
Li Damin said, "I saw a puddle with a yellow talisman floating on it."
"Pick it up," said Chen Meiyu, "This is the road guide to the underworld. I will use it to board the boat later and take us to my dad's level."
Li Damin took a deep breath and bent down to pick up a piece of yellow paper dripping from water. I couldn't see it from behind, thinking that since that's the case, then follow them.
Li Damin walked in the direction of the small puddle flowing. Chen Meiyu was always following him. I followed him, and I was a little confused. Why didn't Chen Meiyu do it and insisted that Li Damin do it.
This ghost place is strange and unpredictable. It is reasonable to see any situation. You can only take one step at a time.
Not long after we walked along the water, we arrived at the shore and saw a vast river. The scene here had no color and was dark from all directions. The river water could only see the outline. There were white flocs like debris floating in the sky. It was really a time when we arrived at the Yellow Spring Road, which made people feel a sense of gloomy.
At this time, a black-sailed boat shook from the depths of the sea. At first, I saw a small outline, and in a flash, I jumped here in a short time and slowly approached the shore.
The one who shakes the oars on this boat turned out to be a little girl, about seven or eight years old, with a cold expression.
Seeing this scene, I was shocked all over. Isn’t this the Seventh Master I once met?! Ma Danlong told me that she is Bai Wuchang in the underworld.
Chen Meiyu said softly, "Brother Li, get on the boat."
Li Damin, who could see that he was not afraid of the world, was also a little nervous. When he walked to the side of the boat, he was about to board the boat. The little girl came over to stop him and then stretched out her hand. Li Damin was really smart and quickly handed over the road he picked up from the puddle.
The little girl took the road and dodged a way and asked them to board the boat. I quickly followed behind.
The little girl just glanced at me in this direction, and didn't know if she saw it. She slowly walked behind the boat, started to oar, the boat left the shore, and walked towards the depths of the river.
Li Damin sat on the boat casually, with Chen Meiyu next to him, and the two of them held hands tightly. I probably realized that they were not holding hands for intimacy, but for a way to walk. The specific situation was not clear.
I stood behind the two of them, the boat was extremely stable, the river was empty, and there was only the vast water, and I couldn't see it on the shore.
At this time, my eyes fell on the tent of the boat, covered with curtains, and I couldn't see what was inside.
It is said that Liu Yang was sitting there, but it is not easy to confirm at this moment. I whispered, "Damin, go and lift the curtain open and see what's going on inside."
Chen Meiyu was very unhappy, "Don't make trouble."
I squatted beside Li Damin and said to him, "The one sitting in the curtain is the fleshy mummy you saw in the garden community, the one named Liu Yang."
Li Damin was obviously shocked. He turned his head and wanted to see me, but he couldn't see it. He was puzzled, "Can you be sure?"
"I still remember telling you about my experience of meeting Ma Danlong. At that time, I used a psychic bracelet to enter the Yin, and I met Liu Yang on such a boat." I said.
Li Damin stood up, but he still held Chen Meiyu's hand and did not let go.
Chen Meiyu was anxious, glared at me fiercely, and said, "Brother Li, I want to save my father now, so don't make any troubles."
Li Damin had raised his feet without any hesitation, and only said four words: "The opportunity is rare."
He came to the black tent and reached out to lift the curtain. Chen Meiyu poked him and asked him to see. Li Damin raised his head and saw the little girl Qiye holding the oars at the stern of the boat, looking at us coldly.
Li Damin held Chen Meiyu with one hand and gave a half-cross salute with the other hand, which meant to be presumptuous. He still pulled the curtain without hesitation, and when the curtain was pulled, I saw it from behind, we were stunned at the same time.
The curtain was empty, and there was no Liu Yang.
Li Damin hesitated for a moment, and Chen Meiyu spoke quickly, "Go back quickly."
He quickly put the curtain down, retreated back to the bow of the boat, and sat cross-legged on the ground. Qi Ye continued to hold the oars, seemingly distracted. The boat slid quickly on the river.
"What's going on?" Li Damin asked me.
I said I don't know.
Chen Meiyu's voice showed a strong unhappiness, "I don't know what you are looking for, but don't do anything like this in the future. What should I do if I cause trouble?"
"Meiyu," I said, "I used to walk in the dark and was on such a boat. There was a person sitting in the black tent. Why didn't I do this time?"
"Who?" Chen Meiyu asked.
I was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to tell her.
Chen Meiyu didn't have the patience to listen to me, and she said, "That person may be like us, just a passerby on the boat. The boat will naturally disembark when it reaches the other side."
"No, no, his situation is very special." I said, "It seems that he was practicing on the boat."
Chen Meiyu gasped, "There are people like this? Then there is another possibility that the boat we are on now is not the same as the boat you have been to."
"I remember it was this little girl." I said.
Chen Meiyu said, "Every soul who wants to survive the sea of suffering requires Qi Ye to take a boat to guide the way. There are as many boats as there are. Qi Ye has tens of millions of incarnations here."
I was shocked, "What should I do if I want to find that boat?"
Chen Meiyu shook her head, "There is no solution at the moment, I can only rely on opportunities."
At this time, the boat slowly docked on a shore and had landed on the shore at some point. The white flying catkins were everywhere in the sky, and it looked very scary.
We abandoned the boat and landed on the shore. Looking back, the boat was gone.
What the hell is this place we are here? Not far away is a forest, full of snow-white branches, and the branches are all together, like ghosts.
Chen Meiyu saw a stone tablet next to the forest and breathed rapidly. There were thick white debris falling on the stone tablet, and many flying insects with light like fireflies danced. You could see two words engraved on the surface of the monument.
"This is the bardo level where my father was tested. Let's go in quickly." She said, pulling Li Damin to run there, and I followed closely behind.
When we arrived in the forest, there were more white debris, such as snow, which particularly affected our sight. The branches of the surrounding trees were covered with this whiteness.
There was a large open space in the middle of the woods, and Li Damin suddenly took a breath, "It's so cold."
I can't feel the temperature, but I can see Li Damin opening his mouth and spitting out a lot of white gas. You can imagine how cold it is here.
Chen Meiyu suddenly screamed, "Dad!"
We looked over with the sound. A man was sitting under a big tree, his body full of white debris, looking like a sculpture. He was motionless, as if he was frozen.
Chen Meiyu let go of Li Damin's hand, ran over like a flying, hugged the man, and slapped the debris on his body with his hands.
Li Damin and I followed. Li Damin helped Chen Meiyu clean up the man together.
It took not long for a while, a person's face appeared under the white debris, and his appearance gradually became clear. It was indeed Chen Jian, Chen Meiyu's father. In the real world, I have seen his body, which is exactly the same as this person now.
As the debris fell, Chen Jian's tightly closed eyelids moved, as if there was a possibility of regaining consciousness. Li Damin quickly said, "Let's take uncle out of here first."
Chen Meiyu's face turned pale and said, "I can't get out."
Li Damin quickly stood up and ran back along the way we came in. I followed behind and we saw that the road we came was gone. There was nowhere to be covered with thick and dense trees, which were tightly blocked.
