Chapter 227 Netherland
What's even more strange is that I can still vividly remember what the old fisherman said, and remember it clearly.

I'm pretty sure that everything that happened just now was not a dream, and it actually happened.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but took a deep look at the river, took a deep breath, and after a while, he regained consciousness from the previous situation.

I wiped the cold sweat off my brow, turned my feet and walked towards the house, with no distractions all the way... I arrived at my home soon.

For me, home is undoubtedly the safest and warmest place right now. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that besides Bai Yang, Zhang Xianren was also there.

I froze for a moment, Zhang Xianren came over and asked in a low voice, "Did you see the ghost fisherman?"

"Ok!"

I nodded, glanced at Bai Yang, and said in a daze: "He has already told me how to break the snake spell."

So I told in detail the strange things I encountered after summoning the ghost fisherman on the river beach.

When it was over, he asked suspiciously, "What does the phrase 'sacrifice one's life to pray for God' mean exactly? What does the ghost fisherman mean by wishing?"

He glanced at me absent-mindedly and said, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, understand?"

I trembled in my heart and wanted to open my mouth to speak, but Zhang Xianren seemed to have thought of something suddenly, he said: "The ghost fisherman is the most evil thing in Yuanjiang, you can come back safe and sound because it caught something, but I have a feeling, You are different from us, even if you don't catch anything and make a wish, the ghost fisherman will let you go."

I was stunned for a moment, and my expression changed involuntarily: "Do you know what I caught?"

Zhang Xianren seemed to be slipping his tongue, and hurriedly said: "Since he has already agreed to allow you to disembark safely, this matter will be done."

Zhang Xianren's words made me half-understand, but I knew that she would definitely not tell me more.

I nodded, and at this moment, Zhang Xianren said again: "You just treat it as a dream, just remember what the ghost fisherman told you, and forget about other things."

Can I forget all that?

After all, those things are too weird and incredible.

I even remember clearly the appearance of the two corpses of a man and a woman that were hung up by fishhooks.

As long as I close my eyes, the water-soaked and swollen skin, and the pale and realistic face will come to my mind.

Zhang Xianren's expression became more serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

What happened tonight was insane.

When I was struggling, Zhang Xianren said seriously: "Your life is also borrowed, and you have committed a lot of sins. In addition, you met a 'ghost fisherman' tonight, and your luck will definitely be very low in the future. There will be many unacceptable things that will happen to you. Don’t be too public recently, and try to keep as little contact with other people as possible.”

I asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by keeping as little contact with other people as possible?"

Zhang Xianren stared at me silently, and said helplessly: "You have a lot of resentment accumulated on your body, which will restrain others and yourself. Therefore, you'd better not get too close to other people, otherwise, something terrible will happen. things."

His words made me uneasy, and I was worried, when I heard Zhang Xianren say again at this moment: "Okay, don't think too much. Time is running out, let's have a good rest. I'll go back and think about it, what the ghost fisherman said What do the four sentences mean... go to sleep."

So I nodded and walked slowly towards my room.

At this moment, Zhang Xianren said again: "Remember, forget everything in the dream, don't think about anything."

I didn't look back, and suddenly felt panicked and even more at a loss.

Can I forget all that?

After Zhang Xianren left, only Bai Yang and Chu Yuan were left in the room. I thought of the bardo mentioned by the ghost fisherman.

Chu Yuan is well-informed and should know this place better than us. I raised my head and asked him, "What is the Bardo Realm?"

When mentioning the bardo world, Chu Yuan's expression became slightly unnatural.

"Land of the Nether, a forbidden area for the dead and the living!"

Chu Yuan said without concealing, "After a person dies, the soul of the deceased will not belong to him, and he may fall into the nether world. That place is a maze. People in the world fall into it, and what they see is what they have encountered in their lives. The karma that arrived."

"The karma there is different from that in the underworld. The karma you had during your lifetime was different, and everything you encountered was different. Let alone a mortal, even if I go there, I will be confused by obstacles in that place."

"Can the bardo world really eradicate the snake curse?"

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, I became excited.

Chu Yuan said: "The bardo world is a world of its own, with unique and treacherous laws. Although I have entered it before, if I fall into it for too long, I will fall into confusion, so... I am not sure! But There is indeed a certain law in that place, and any unclean things in the yang world will be erased forcefully."

I didn't expect that Chu Yuan had entered the bardo realm before.

The bardo mentioned by the ghost fisherman does not belong to the underworld, nor does it belong to the yang world, but an exiled dead world.

It's just that it's a place of the netherworld after all, and in fact there are some discrepancies with what the ghost fisherman said. At least I learned more about the dead world from Chu Yuan.

Compared with the human world, the scenery of the dead world is actually not very different from the human world. At most, the sky is a little darker, the grass and trees are a little rotten, and the smell in the air is a little bit smelly. There is also an inexplicable heaviness and depression. a feeling of.

Generally speaking, it is a place where normal living people would not want to stay longer.

In the world of death, even the sun is gray, and the dim light shines on the world, which seems to be a lifeless scene.

However, few people know that the gloomy light is actually a change of death energy. The dead will be fine if it is illuminated, but the living will be fatal if it is illuminated for a long time.

There are indeed many lonely souls exiled in the dead world, and many of them are lost in the nether world and fall into hell forever.

Chu Yuan told me that there are seven realms in the world, and there are many forbidden areas in this world. Even Chu Yuan needs to be cautious.

Deadland is one of them.

When I learned that the bardo world was likely to break the curse of the snake, my heart became restless and unable to calm down.

After pondering for a long time, I made up my mind and said to Chu Yuan, "This is an opportunity!"

Chu Yuan said solemnly: "Once the soul of a living person enters it, if it cannot return to its body, the final fate is to fall into the Netherworld forever."

The obscurity of the dead world makes it impossible for the dead to return once they fall into it. If the soul stays in that kind of place, it will live forever in the netherworld and be bewitched by the obscurity forever, and can never be reborn.

I can imagine an empty soul with dull eyes, like a walking dead walking endlessly in the drifting fog, without end, without the concept of time, sinking for thousands of years, until the dead world does not exist.

I can feel this kind of emptiness and dazed fear just by thinking about it, which is more inhumane than all the punishments of hell in the underworld combined.
