The sea of flowers on the other side gradually becomes sparse, and the sound of the river comes from ahead.
The fishy wind mixed with countless miserable howls came towards my face!
A blood-yellow river appeared in front of Captain Liebert.
In the river, there are countless lonely ghosts, insects and snakes wandering around, it is extremely strange and terrifying!
And above the river, there is a solitary bridge spanning both banks.
On the stone tablet on the shore, there is an inscription - Wangchuan Naihe!
Captain Liebert looked at the things in front of him and could no longer tell whether what he saw was reality or fiction.
Just know, keep moving forward!
His waist was bent even more by the pressure, but he still did not give up on Li Xiubai and Xiaopi, and slowly moved to the Naihe Bridge.
boom!
Suddenly, Captain Lebert swayed and fell to the ground!
Li Xiubai and Xiaopi slipped off their backs and fell straight towards the Wangchuan River.
Captain Lebert hurriedly jumped out half of his body, stretched out his withered hands, and struggled to catch the two of them!
"Ahhh!"
In the Forgotten River, ghosts roared and rushed over!
puff!
At the critical moment, Captain Lebert used all his strength to pull the two of them up, but several scarlet gashes were torn open on his chest by the ghost!
Boundless pain came from his soul and body. With such an injury, only a trace of dark red blood flowed out of his dying body...
He climbed back to the shore and tried to carry the two of them on his back again.
But the strength he just burst out and the chest injury continued to torture his body and soul.
He was pushed to the ground again and again, and he got up again and again to carry the two of them on his back.
finally...
After countless attempts, Captain Liebert carried the two of them on his back and stood up tremblingly.
The Naihe Bridge is not long, but for Captain Lebert, it is like a road to the sky!
Every step he takes is the ultimate pain to his body and will!
He walked tens of meters away for nearly half an hour before reaching the other end of Naihe Bridge.
"Drink this soup and the past will disappear!"
Under the bridge, an old woman handed him a bowl of dark yellow soup.
"I...I can't...drink...I want to save these two children..."
Captain Liebert's consciousness had begun to blur. After muttering, he was about to continue walking forward.
But no matter how he walked, he was just standing still!
“If you don’t drink this soup, stop here!”
Captain Liebert heard this and put Li Xiubai and Li Xiubai on the ground with difficulty: "Please... please, let me go, I want to save them!"
After saying that, this legendary captain in the Nansha world, who had lived a great life, actually knelt down towards the old woman!
He no longer has any strength to waste on fighting, he can only beg...
"Kneeling down is useless, this is the rule of the underworld!"
The old woman raised her hands slightly, preventing Captain Lebert from kneeling down.
"Please... please... please let me go... I have to go..."
At this moment, Captain Liebert is no longer the all-powerful being, he is more like an old man whose heir is dying and wants to hold on to hope.
"Why..."
The old woman looked at him, sighed softly, and pointed to the Wangchuan River.
“Throughout the ages, countless people have passed away. In order to stay with their loved ones in this life, they are willing not to drink this soup, but to jump into the River of Forgetfulness and wait for thousands of years!
For thousands of years, I have watched the love of my life pass by on the bridge, but I can't speak. You can see it, but you can't.
You see her walking over and over again, drinking bowl after bowl, hoping that she won't drink, but also afraid that she will not be able to bear the thousand years of suffering in Forget River, and that she will not be able to bear the loneliness of waiting.
Drinking this soup can relieve the past and old dreams, cut off the causes and consequences of the past, forget all the ups and downs in this life, all the love and hatred in this life, and you will be strangers in the next life, and you will not recognize each other.
Entering the River of Forgetfulness, he was bitten by copper snakes and iron dogs in the filthy waves. He was tortured and unable to escape until all thoughts were lost and he turned into a lonely soul in the River of Forgetfulness.
Only by keeping your thoughts for a thousand years and remembering the past can you re-enter the world and find the one you love!"
The old woman said, looking at Li Xiubai on the ground: "You and I are loved like father and son, I allow you to enter the River of Forgetfulness!
If your thoughts persist after a thousand years, I will let you go."
"A thousand years...I can't wait for a thousand years, Xiubai only has one day!"
Captain Liebert walked to the Lethe River and murmured.
"Thousands of years are here, but in the blink of an eye, you can rest assured! But I need to remind you that although you are about to die, you are not a soul. If you enter the River of Oblivion, your spirit and body will be tortured, and you may not be able to survive!"
Hearing the old woman's words, Captain Lebert no longer hesitated. It was impossible for such an existence to deceive him.
He looked at Li Xiubai on the ground and jumped into the River of Forgetfulness.
In the Forgotten River, countless resentful ghosts, snakes and insects went crazy and swarmed up.
Just for a moment!
Like being tortured in purgatory, endless pain spreads through every inch of Captain Lebert's soul and body!
"Hey...that's all! How can you endure the Millennium River of Forgetfulness? Heaven also has feelings, and the rules are not unchanged..."
The old woman finally couldn't bear it anymore and waved her hand to rescue Captain Lebert.
"Thank you... thank you..."
Captain Lebert was lying on the ground, his body covered in blood and eaten by the resentful spirits of the River of Forgetfulness.
He took off his coat and crawled to Li Xiubai and Xiaopi. After tying them up, he continued to crawl forward.
But even if his hands on the ground were bruised and bloody, and his bones were exposed, it would be difficult to drag the two of them.
Li Xiubai and Xiaopi are not ordinary martial arts masters. How can their physical bodies be weighed down by a piece of clothing?
"Let me help you! But you need to know that in the temple, there are also choices..."
The old woman sighed again, waved her hand, and sent Captain Lebert and the others into the unknown.
...
Captain Liebert tried to open his eyes and looked around, but saw nothing.
Is this trip... really going to get nothing...
Sudden!
In the dark hall, countless lights are bright!
The vastness of Huanghuang's righteousness descended, and a glazed figure appeared in front of him.
"I already know your purpose of coming!"
The glazed figure slowly stretched out her hand, and a black and yellow lotus flower floated to Captain Lebert's body.
"This was formed by the Xuanhuang Mother Qi when the world first opened. It can heal this child's injuries, and it can also heal your injuries! This thing may be the only thing in the world that can heal the energy of the void.
Although this child is in danger, you can stabilize his life by absorbing the Xuanhuang Mother Qi, and then you can find other ways to treat him. It is up to you to decide how to treat him."
Captain Liebert held the lotus flower in both hands and without any hesitation, he smiled and sent it into Li Xiubai's body.
"Why..."
Upon seeing this, Liuli sighed helplessly, waved his hand and shot out a blast of energy into Captain Lebert's body.
All of a sudden!
All the energy that Captain Liebert had dispersed before has returned!
But...the lost life energy has not been restored at all.
That full head of gray hair, wrinkled face, and haggard figure are still so dazzling.
"Your longevity is only a year at most, so you can take care of yourself."
After the Liuli figure finished speaking, she was about to leave the hall.
"etc!"
Captain Lebert shouted and bowed respectfully to Liuli's figure: "Senior, please save him too! I heard that kid Karl said that Xiaopi had rescued Xiubai in danger countless times.
And Xiubai is a child with a sensitive heart. If Xiaopi dies, he will definitely find it difficult to let go."
