Chapter 100 Yangguan Road and the Single-plank Bridge

Huang Shanshan notices Tian Cuihua.

"Qianqian, who is this?"

"She is my second grandmother."

"Hello, Second Grandma, my name is Huang Shanshan, the captain of the Seventh Team of the West City Administration, please take care of me in the future."

Huang Shanshan immediately bowed respectfully to Tian Cuihua.

Tian Cuihua nodded slightly, looked at Zhang Tiande and said, "Can we go in and have a look?"

"Shanshan, let us in?" Zhang Tiande asked.

Huang Shanshan nodded affirmatively, "Of course, you are experts, of course you should go in and take a look at such a weird case."

"Let's go then!"

Tian Cuihua waved her hands.

Then the four of them crossed the yellow warning line and, together with Huang Shanshan, walked towards the bus ahead.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

However, the five of them hadn't gone far, when a series of muffled rumbles suddenly began to ring in their ears.

The originally peaceful Xicheng Bridge began to shake like an earthquake.

Huang Shanshan's face was as white as paper in fright.

"What's going on here? Could it be an earthquake?"

"Don't worry, calm down." Zhang Tiande reminded loudly.

After saying those words, he quickly put his hands on his chest, and formed a golden light banishing curse seal.

"Heaven and earth are concentric, Taoism follows nature. The golden light gathers to ward off evil spirits."

"Golden light removes the curse, come out!"

"Buzz!"

Following Zhang Tiande's incantation, an ear-piercing buzzing sound exploded on the bridge.

The Xicheng Bridge, which was still shaking just now, instantly regained its calm.

Zhang Qianxiu frowned, "Second Grandpa, why is this happening?"

"The moment we crossed the yellow cordon, I'm afraid we have already been recruited."

"Then what kind of trick is this?"

"I don't know, I can't see it yet." Zhang Tiande shook his head.

There are many kinds of Taoist spells, which can be described as all kinds of strange things. Just because of the sudden shaking of the bridge just now, he couldn't tell which kind of spell it was.

Tian Cuihua stared intently at the bus ahead.

"Let's go, go and have a look."

"Everyone, be careful." Zhang Tiande reminded in time.

Zhang Qian and the three of them solemnly agreed.

After that, the five of them took another step towards the bus in the center of the bridge.

But just walking forward, Zhang Qian and the others immediately discovered something was wrong.

Obviously the distance from the bridge head to the center of the bridge is only a few hundred meters, but it is such a short distance, it seems that no matter how they walk, they can't finish it.

No, after they walked for four or five minutes, they found that they were still some distance away from the bus, and they couldn't walk to the side of the bus at all.

Zhang Qian stopped.

"Second Grandpa, Second Grandma, if we go on like this, I'm afraid we'll die of exhaustion, and we won't be able to reach the bus!"

"Seniors, how do I feel that this scene is a bit like the 'Yangguan Dao' that our Taoists talk about?"

Wang Hao suddenly answered and said something like this.

Zhang Tiande and Tian Cuihua paused at the same time, both of them had serious expressions on their faces.

Zhang Qian asked, "What does Taoism mean by 'Yangguan Dao'?"

"As the saying goes, you walk your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge. The "Yangguan Road" mentioned in this sentence, in the interpretation of our Taoists, refers to a road that never ends. If you don’t know the way, then you will never come to the end, you can only be trapped in this way and die.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhang Qian's eyes widened, and she really refreshed her three views.

In her opinion, this sentence is common, but in the interpretation of Taoism, it is so terrifying. She has to admit that she still has a lot to learn about Taoism!

Zhang Tiande's face was gloomy, "It seems that this is again the work of an expert hidden behind. He cast a spell to let us enter this Yangguan Road. If we can't break through the Yangguan Road, I'm afraid we really won't be able to go through."

"Yes, the end of Yangguan Road looks like that bus, but in fact, this road has no end, no matter how we go, we can't reach that bus." Tian Cuihua followed suit.

Huang Shanshan became anxious, "Then what should we do now? If we really can't get out, wouldn't we be trapped here to death?"

"Don't panic, you just listened to the first half of the sentence and forgot the second half. The second half of the sentence I will cross my single-plank bridge is the way to break the Yangguan Road."

Zhang Tiande relieved in time.

Huang Shanshan nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Tiande added, "In the Taoist interpretation, the single-plank bridge refers to a bridge connecting reality and illusion, and it is hidden in the Yangguan Road. Only by finding it can we get out of the Yangguan Road."

"Then where is this single-plank bridge hidden in Yangguan Road?"

"I don't know. I have practiced Taoism for decades, but I have never entered Yangguan Dao. Today is the first time I have entered." Zhang Tiande replied helplessly, spreading his hands.

Zhang Qian and Huang Shanshan felt chills in their hearts, and the hope that had just appeared was shattered again.

But when the five of them were helpless, an unexpected scene happened.

Not far ahead, a white figure slowly appeared.

He has white hair and beard, and is dressed in a white robe. He looks about 80 or [-] years old. At first glance, he looks like a fairy.

Zhang Qian was dumbfounded, "Who is this old man?"

"Little girl, don't be afraid. I am the old man guarding the Tao in Yangguan Road. Seeing that you are really helpless, I specially showed my figure to help you." The old man standing in front replied with a kind smile.

Zhang Qian immediately looked at Zhang Tiande, "Second Grandpa, is there an old man guarding the Tao in Yangguan Road?"

"The Taoists don't have many records about Yangguan Dao. I'm not sure if there is an old man who guards the Dao here."

"It can't be the ghost of the master hiding behind it again?"

"There is also this possibility." Zhang Tiande said with a heavy tone, not daring to be careless.

The old man who guarded the way didn't seem to hear what they were talking about, so he just continued on his own, "I have five boxes here, namely the gold box, the silver box, the jade box, the copper box and the iron box. Among the four boxes, one contains the key to open the single-plank bridge, and the other four boxes are empty, and each of you five can choose a box."

"What will happen if you choose an empty box?" Zhang Qian asked curiously.

The old man who guarded the way laughed, "If you choose an empty box, you will be sucked in, and then you will be locked in the box forever, and you will never be able to get out. Only when the box is opened can you come out of it."

"Can I not choose?"

"If you don't choose, you will never find a single-plank bridge."

The old man guarding the way is fatal.

Zhang Qian and the five of you looked at me and I looked at you, all of them looked at each other in blank dismay.
