Forgotten River (5)
The world of glaciers symbolizes purity. In this pure world, Xingyue and Wangchuan lived for a hundred years. In a hundred years, they became very good friends. In this world, they cherish each other because Only each other is the eternal one in the world, and Xingyue gradually forgets her responsibility to get rid of evil spirits. After waking up every day, she runs and laughs in the snow.
"Wangchuan, look." Xingyue looked up at the falling snowflakes in the sky, stretched out her hand to catch them, and the pieces fell into her hands and slowly melted, melting her smile.
Wangchuan walked gently towards Xingyue, looked at the snowflakes melting in Xingyue's hands, and smiled: "They melted."
"Yeah." Xingyue looked back at Wangchuan and smiled, and playfully stretched out his tongue to lick the melted snow water off his palm. Wangchuan couldn't help but stare at Xingyue with a smile. Suddenly, he thought of human beings. At that moment, Wangchuan and Xingyue seemed to be living like those humans, so he imitated human expressions and said, "Xingyue, be my wife, okay?"
"Wife?" Xingyue was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "May I?"
"We can if you want."
"Hmm... let me think about it." Xingyue smiled and ran towards the glacier in front, feeling a little bit happy in her heart. She once envied human beings that they could live together, and she also felt that the relationship between husband and wife in the world was very beautiful. , but she didn't expect Wangchuan to say this to herself. From the heart, Xingyue liked Wangchuan. It was a silent habit of Wangchuan's company.
Xingyue spent half a year thinking about this. Half a year later, it was the time agreed to give Wangchuan a reply. On this day, a cold wind was blowing in the snow, just as Xingyue was about to walk towards Wangchuan and tell Wangchuan that she was willing to do it. When Wang Chuan's wife was leaving, the world began to shake, the glaciers began to shake, the ice surface cracked, and heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky several times more than usual.
"What's going on?" Xingyue looked at the ice, looking very nervous.
Wangchuan hurriedly took Xingyue's hand and comforted him: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
"Yeah." After Xingyue nodded, she began to observe this strange phenomenon between heaven and earth. She has been in this world for so long, and this is the first time she has encountered such a situation. It can be so violent in this ice and snow. Xingyue doesn't know what's going on outside. He wondered what the world would be like, so he left the glacier with Wangchuan and came to a place where humans live. At this time, the human world was like purgatory. Stones of all sizes were falling from the sky. Strong winds came from nowhere. All the shelters used for shelter collapsed. People were running away in panic. Some people had no time to hide. They died under the big rocks or were blown away by the strong wind. The running people shouted loudly: "Run quickly, the sky is about to fall..."
Hearing the cry of human beings, Wangchuan looked up and sure enough, there was a hole in the originally connected sky. Xingyue also discovered it at this time. Just when they were thinking about how to help human beings, Nuwa suddenly fell from the sky. , turned into a streak of colorful light and flew towards a mountain. Xingyue and Wangchuan followed. When Xingyue saw Nuwa for the first time, she felt familiar, as if she had seen her before. The companions went to find colorful sacred stones to mend the sky. Wangchuan accompanied Xingyue and witnessed with his own eyes the whole process of Nuwa patching up the sky. When he saw Nuwa's efforts, he couldn't help but be touched. Soon after the work was completed, Nuwa discovered the relationship between Xingyue and Wangchuan. exist.
"Xingyue." Nuwa stood on the top of the mountain and called Xingyue's name like she was calling her own child. Xingyue heard Nuwa's call and couldn't help walking towards Nuwa and came to Nuwa. Nuwa looked at Xingyue with a smile, and found that Xingyue was still so beautiful, and then looked at Wangchuan not far away, and sighed. She didn't expect that she had really succeeded, and Xingyue and Wangchuan had an encounter. , so Nuwa asked softly: "Xingyue, are you happy?"
After hearing this, Xingyue shook her head numbly: "What is happiness?" Xingyue's answer surprised Nuwa, because Nuwa thought that after Xingyue met Wangchuan, the two of them would be very happy together.
"Aren't you happy?"
"Mother Nuwa, what does happiness feel like?" Xingyue looked at Nuwa thoughtfully.
Nuwa smiled knowingly and replied: "Happiness is not being alone anymore, being very fulfilled inside and not having random thoughts."
"Enriched...random thoughts..." Xingyue did not remember the previous sentence said by Nuwa, but only remembered the last two sentences. After Nuwa left, Xingyue thought for a long time and finally understood what happiness is. As Nuwa said, her heart is full and she will not have random thoughts. In this way, for Xingyue, her happiest time is when she exorcises evil spirits for humans. At this time, many people died because of the loopholes in the sky. Those undead souls had no place to go, so they stayed in the human world. This was cruel to Wangchuan. He continued to be alone, watching Xingyue's spirit-killing form from a distance. Finally one day, Wangchuan was tired. He didn't understand why Xingyue refused to look back at him. At the same time, he had different ideas about ghosts. Those ghosts were evil spirits in Xingyue's eyes, but in Wangchuan's view, those ghosts were also very pitiful. They were dead, but they obviously still existed, but Xingyue didn't even give them a place to live. Maybe when the love for a person reaches the extreme, he will go to that person's back. Wangchuan loves Xingyue, but he can't get Xingyue's love, so he chooses a different path from Xingyue, Wangchuan goes to Xingyue When he arrived at a place where he could talk to God, he made a suggestion that he would give those ghosts a place to live. God agreed. Wangchuan's suggestion was also appreciated by Nuwa. She is the mother of the earth and gave birth to human beings. Naturally, he didn't want human beings to live in such misery, and he was not willing to let the dead disappear forever, so with God's permission, he built a city for ghosts under the earth. If you have a city, you must have people who manage it.
, God once thought about letting Wangchuan manage the dead ghosts, but Wangchuan refused, so God had to send another person to be the king in the underground city to govern the world of ghosts. But human beings are constantly multiplying, but the size of the city is limited. In order to solve this problem, Wangchuan thought of another way, which is to give the dead another chance to become human beings, so that human beings can reincarnate between ghosts and living people forever. God agreed to Wangchuan's proposal and created the system of reincarnation. However, all this was not announced to the public at Wangchuan's request, so no one knew that it was Wangchuan's idea. Only Wangchuan knew why he did this. Although he chose a different path from Xingyue, he still didn't want his beloved woman to feel disgusted with him, so he wanted to hide it from Xingyue. Wangchuan thought that this way, Xingyue would look back at him, but he was wrong. Although there was a ghost in the world who was responsible for pulling the dead ghosts, Xingyue eliminated those ghosts first before the ghost had time to take action. Gradually, Xingyue no longer eliminates ghosts when she sees them. She searches everywhere, and starts to only attack those hateful souls, ghosts that want to harm humans. Once those evil ghosts are injured by Xingyue, they will be wiped out and will never be reincarnated. . As the days passed, Wangchuan's heart became colder day by day. Finally, he no longer had high expectations for Xingyue and gave up on this relationship. In order to make himself feel better in the long years, Wangchuan learned to forget. And used his own spiritual power to seal his memory of Xingyue. Wangchuan, who no longer stayed in the world, became an obstacle between heaven and earth. The selfish God began to fear that Wangchuan would do something detrimental to the world, so he demoted Wangchuan to the underworld and gave him a territory. In that area, Wangchuan is his own god. All the gods and ghosts in that area are not as terrifying as Wangchuan. That is where Wangchuan can do whatever he wants. In the beginning, there were still little ghosts and gods to disturb them. After several records of being wiped out, that place became a restricted area for ghosts and gods. Later, Wangchuan gave the place a name, called the other side, which lies between the other side and the underworld. That river was named Wangchuan River because of its existence. Perhaps because he didn't want to be disturbed, Wangchuan turned the river into a river that could corrode everything. I don't know when, the clever underworld manager began to use this river to deal with some evil spirits who were not good at doing evil. Let them never be reborn.
It’s just that no one knows how boring eternal existence is. Wangchuan thought for a long time before he thought of something to kill time. He had met a human doctor, so he had a position for himself. Since He is in the underworld and neighbors with ghosts, so his best choice is to become a ghost doctor. Slowly, time passed, and all the newcomers and new ghosts did not know the origin of Wangchuan. When the underworld was truly perfected, everyone called Wangchuan the ghost doctor. No one knew who he was before he became a ghost doctor, including Wangchuan, he only remembered that he was a ghost doctor and could not remember anything else. Because his spiritual power was higher than other ordinary gods, even gods could not awaken his memory. He was a person who existed in ancient times, and he was not the same as the gods. Same position, this is a very clear rule in heaven and earth, and because of this, the King of Hell also has to respect Wangchuan three points.
Wangchuan still remembers that there was nothing on the other side at first, not even grass growing. He took grass seeds from the human world and planted them on the other side. Fortunately, Wangchuan's spiritual power protected him, and those ordinary grasses grew on the other side. In order to adapt to the grass of the underworld, the flowers blooming all over the other shore were brought by Lord Buddha later. Wangchuan still remembers that Lord Buddha said to himself at that time that the reason why the flower was named after the other bank is because there are two souls in the flower. Those who violate the rules will be punished and cannot see each other forever. They are divided into flowers and leaves. When the flowers bloom, there are no leaves, and when the leaves are lush, they do not bloom... At that time, the flower on the other side was still white. As for why it turned into bright red later, it was because everyone listened to this The story and anyone who smells the fragrance of the other shore flower will be so sad that they shed blood and tears. It is the blood and tears that are absorbed into the roots of the other shore flower, and the other shore flower becomes the bright red it is today...
