Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 136
"Let me out...! I want to go out...!"

A desperate howl echoed across the river, and the muffled shout seemed a little eerie and strange in the silent and dark night.

The sound of beating the concrete and stone wall was like a slap in the chest. I watched the golden and red light on the river, swallowed quietly, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Those voices... are people trapped in the bridge pile?"

"No." Liu Wangzhi stood tall and jade on the river bank, his black hair and black clothes completely blended into the night, "The bones of the bridge have been integrated into the bridge piles since the bridge was built. To be precise, their current state can no longer be called' People' gone."

That’s right, if it’s true what Liu Wangzhi said, these two people were sacrificed to the bridge in the way of “living piles”, then after so many years, the bones don’t know what they have turned into, so how can they still be called? For "people".

It's just a ray of resentment trapped in it.

"Liu Wangzhi, isn't this the capital city? Why does such a thing happen?"

I still can't believe that there are actually people who dare to be so bold in the boundary of the capital?
Liu Wangzhi stared at the bridge road not far away, and said indifferently with a blank face: "I seem to have told you before that your human world cannot be distinguished from black and white with only your eyes. Want to know the reason, Maybe you should listen to them."

The case of the Shen family is already a lesson for the past. I was slightly taken aback when I heard this, and I didn't dare to imagine the mystery hidden in it, so I couldn't help but frown more and more.

Without changing his face, he raised his hand to gather spiritual power, flicked his fingertips, and a ball of golden light shot towards the stone wall on the bridge pile. The flashing runes went out in an instant, and he seemed to have settled down.

The sound of beating the concrete wall gradually died down, and the wailing in the bridge piles also gradually died down.

Liu Wangzhi stood facing the wind across the river, with his thin lips slightly parted, he said in a deep voice to the two strands of resentment: "Who is under the bridge? It's not enough to harm so many lives. Why don't you let them go?"

After two seconds of silence, a slightly hoarse young male voice came out from the bridge pier: "We have the final say on this bridge, we suffer here day and night, why should they come and go freely?"

The voice fell, and a slightly older male voice came from another bridge pier: "That's right! We have been trapped here for decades, and no one has ever taken care of us. Where did you come out? Why did you come here?" Mind your own business!"

Not to mention, these two resentful souls are really annoying. They shouted so badly just now, but now they hold the seal for them, and they start to speak rudely again?
"Hey, let me tell you, those who are trapped in the bridge over there, don't you see that we are here to help you?" I stood beside Liu Wangzhi and shouted at the two resentful souls who didn't know what to do.

"Help us?" The young male voice was a little surprised, hesitated for a while, and then said, "We are all people who have been piled up, and our souls are destined to be trapped here to guard this bridge. Even the king of Hades will not accept us. How to help?"

I really had no idea about this matter, I opened and closed my mouth, and was suddenly at a loss for words.

Liu Wangzhi's eyes were as deep as water, and there were no waves on his face: "I opened the altar to worship today. The City God's Yin Division has traveled far and wide, and those who sacrificed in the piles have grievances. I promise that I can be the master to help you all."

"Really?" The older voice in the bridge pile questioned, "Can you really help us get out of here?"

"En." Liu Wangzhi nodded in affirmation, "Let's talk about it first, how did someone beat you up back then, was it voluntary, or was there some other reason?"

Mentioning this, the two resentful souls in the bridge suddenly stopped talking.

I was just about to ask if there was something unspeakable, when the younger voice sighed and said suddenly, "Let me talk about it first."

We didn't make a sound, and he continued silently by himself.

"I come from a rural village in a neighboring province. I was just a sophomore in high school when I was alive. At that time, my grandma was seriously ill, and my family was in debt. I couldn’t go on anymore, so I dropped out of school behind their backs and wanted to work and make money.”

"When I was dragging my luggage to go out that day, I happened to bump into the uncle next door. He knew that I was in a hurry to spend money, so he introduced me to the engineering team to move bricks. Then I took the phone to find the person in charge to report, and then I followed them directly to the outskirts of Beijing, and it was at this time that I realized that this project was originally to build a bridge."

He paused when he said this, his voice didn't know if he was hurt just now, it was a little hoarse: "I'm new here, I don't know anything, I just need to pull the cement, until I accidentally heard the foreman I talked to some outsiders, and said that the person who was originally laying piles suddenly quit, and if I can find someone who is willing to go down and pile piles, I can give him a lot of money."

My heart skipped a beat when I heard this, and the brows that had just opened were frowned again: "So you took this job...?"

"Yes..." The boy's voice was a little sad, "I've never seen such a large sum of money, and this trip was intended to make money, and I would do anything for the money, so I found a foreman in private , Said that he was willing to go to the river to drive piles."

"I didn't expect that the foreman didn't ask anything, and he agreed very readily, and then asked me to sign a contract the next day, which not only stated how much I would be paid, but also gave me a huge amount of insurance. The beneficiary can fill in the family members."

"I didn't understand why I bought such good insurance at the time. It wasn't until the foreman asked Master Yao to tell me how to go down the river to drive piles that I realized that this job was not only not so easy to do, but also very dangerous. But at that time After signing the contract, I regretted it and lost money, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go down the river with a few other masters to drive piles."

"Then what?" My heart slowly twitched.

"Then..." the boy let out a breath slowly, and stabilized his choked voice, "there were four people who went to drive the pilings that day, including me, and two of the machines broke down halfway through the operation, and they had to be sent down. To check the situation. At that time, Master Yao and I went down the mud pile together. We tied the safety rope and jumped down to clean up the stones stuck in the machine in the pile. , but the people above did not respond, and I panicked immediately!"

The boy became short of breath: "I started to pull the rope and struggle to swim upstream, but the mud and the current made it hard for me to float up. At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of the loudspeaker, it was the foreman."

"The foreman asked me if I still wanted bonuses and insurance. As long as I let go, the bridge can be built; only when the bridge is built, can my family get my reward..."

"I suddenly remembered that Master Yao held me and sighed before going down the river. He seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't say anything in the end. He just encouraged me not to be afraid." I was afraid, and I was about to lose strength. The hand pulling the rope was bleeding, and even the last sliver of the desire to survive was lost little by little with the oxygen in the lungs under the confrontation between the high salary and the family situation. "

"Finally... I let go of my hand, and before the last ray of consciousness disappeared, I merged into the bridge piles full of river water and mud..."

"It was only later that I found out that Master Yao had the same choice as me. It was also for the money to save his daughter who was suffering from cancer. I had no choice but to let go of the rope..."

The two strands of souls trapped in the bridge piles sobbed one after another, and there seemed to be remorse and regret in their mournful and desolate voices, as well as endless sadness that the wind could not blow.

I was completely stunned and couldn't say anything. After a long while, I murmured to the person beside me: "Why...why did they give up their lives like this?"

I thought they were completely persecuted by others, but who knew...there was an element of voluntary sacrifice in it.

It's really incredible.

"Not everyone in this world can live a carefree life. In places you can't see, there are always many people who have to make choices that go against themselves in order to survive."

Liu Wangzhi's brows were as indifferent and calm as before, just like every time he stayed out of the matter, without any personal feelings.

My heart was inexplicably heavy, and I seemed to be sullen and couldn't get it out. I said a little angrily: "But this boy was obviously cheated. If the foreman didn't make it clear to him, how would he know that he went down for the purpose of making money?" Those who make a living pile will have to lose their lives in vain..."

Liu Wangzhi tilted his head to look at me, and the peach blossom pond was peaceful: "The thing has already happened, so now it's useless to go into a dead end and argue about right and wrong?"

"But..." I was full of emotions but hesitated to speak, and finally lowered my head and shook my head slightly.

Liu Wangzhi didn't argue with me about this matter any more, raised his cold gaze, and looked at the two bridge pillars: "So you are trapped here to guard the bridge, and you are not completely persecuted, so you shouldn't be forced to do so because of it." Resentment breeds hatred and kills people.”

The two weeping souls suddenly stopped, but Liu Wangzhi didn't wait for them to explain, and suddenly changed the subject, "But since I opened an altar here to offer sacrifices, and I made a promise before, then this time I will help you With one hand, let your souls return to the underworld to be reincarnated, and if you have a last wish, I can also help you entrust your dreams to your family."

"But it's agreed in advance that the sins you committed cannot be offset. After you go down, there will be a ghost to settle with you."

After finishing speaking, he squeezed his hands quickly, moved his thin lips, and uttered a spell in a low voice.

"Wait a minute!" The old resentful soul suddenly shouted, "The spell on this bridge... can't be solved!"

"How?" I asked in surprise.

"Under this bridge... something is pressing on it."

Master Yao paused for a moment, then said quietly, "Have you ever heard of... Yin Yang nails?"
