C229 It Was Hard to Live on the River of Forgetfulness

"Why should I help you?"    

    

Lin Yun thought for a while and finally held back his anger, but he didn't give Luo Xiuying a good look.    

    

Hearing this, Luo Xiuying had a face full of shame and said bitterly, "That's right! Why do you want to help me? You don't owe me anything. "    

    

" Hmph! What I hate the most is other people's schemes. You want me to help you? You can say it directly, whether I help or not is my business. But you must not play smart, this will only make me hate you even more... Don't ever do it again... Oh... No, there shouldn't be a next time."    

    

"I... I..."    

    

"Alright, let's go! There's no need to explain, and no need to feel guilty. You and I are just strangers."    

    

As he spoke, Lin Yun held Jier's hand and walked towards the River of Forgetfulness first.    

    

Liang Xiaoshan looked strangely at Luo Xiuying and patted him on the shoulder. He sighed and said, "I say, Brother Luo! My young master is actually kind. You were wrong to scheme against him. Alright, I have to follow young master. You take care of yourself!"    

    

After saying that, Liang Xiaoshan chased after Lin Yun.    

    

Behind him, Luo Xiuying and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to do.    

    

When Lin Yun and the other two were about to disappear from their sight, Luo Xiuying finally reacted and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Let's go!"    

    

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly followed.    

    

According to the legends, there was a dirt platform called Village Platform on the Bridge of Helplessness. On the Village Gazing Platform, one could look at the human world for the last time. Drinking a cup of Forgetting River water could be used to boil one's life.    

    

Beside the Bridge of Helplessness, there was a limestone called the Three-Lives Stone. The Three-Lives Stone recorded the past life and present life. The words on the stone were bright red like blood, and at the very top, there were four large words carved: "Early Ascending to the Other Shore."    

    

"This life already knows what happened in the past. The Three-Lives Stone left behind a surname, and I don't know who she will be in the next life. If I drink the soup, I will forget the three events."    

    

Looking at the stone tablet with the words "Early Ascension to the Other Shore," Lin Yun recalled the legends of his past life, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.    

    

Jier heard him and couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what are you talking about?"    

    

Lin Yun shook his head and laughed lightly. He sighed and said, "Legend has it that there is a Meng Po on the Bridge of Helplessness. To cross the Bridge of Helplessness, one must drink the Meng Po soup and not the Meng Po soup. If one cannot cross the Bridge of Helplessness, then one must drink the Meng Po soup. If he could not cross the Bridge of Helplessness, he would not be able to reincarnate. Anyone who drank Meng Po's soup will forget all the ties in this life. They would enter the cycle of reincarnation without any worries. The Meng Po soup was also known as the Water of Forgetting Love. Once drank, one would forget all the love, hate, and hatred in his previous life and this life. All the gains and losses in one's life would vanish with this bowl of Meng Po soup. The people he cared about in this life, the people he hated in this life, would be strangers in his next life. He would not recognize them. Everyone in the Yang world had their own bowl, the Meng Po soup in the bowl. In fact, it's the tears of the living."    

    

The little girl's face was full of sadness as she pitifully said, "That Jier is but a bridge. What if big brother forgets it?"    

    

"Haha! Some people are like you, in order to see each other again in your next life, they love each other the most. Without drinking the Meng Po soup, he could only jump into the River of Forgetfulness, hoping that he would pass by the person he loves the most in this life. But words cannot be linked. You can see her. She cannot see you, and once she enters the River of Forgetfulness, she will not reincarnate for thousands of years. In a thousand years, you can only watch her walk the Bridge of Helplessness over and over again. After drinking bowl after bowl of Meng Po soup, you hope that she doesn't drink Meng Po soup. You're also afraid that she won't be able to endure the suffering of a thousand years in the River of Forgetfulness. Therefore, sometimes, forgetting isn't always a bad thing. "    

    

The little girl was deep in thought and continued to say," Then... Then Jier, do you want to drink the Meng Po soup! "    

    

Lin Yun smiled and looked at her innocent face. He could not help but stroke her little head. He said, "Silly girl, although this place is called the Bridge of Helplessness, there is no Meng Po. So, you don't need to drink Meng Po's soup, and your big brother is here. You won't forget this life. "    

    

"Oh! That would be great. Jier thought that after crossing the Bridge of Helplessness, Jier would forget big brother. "    

    

"Hehe! Let's go! Silly girl!"    

    

With a light laugh, Lin Yun held her hand and stepped onto the so-called Bridge of Helplessness.    

    

Stepping onto the bridge, an inexplicable sound suddenly rang out.    

    

"It's hard to live on the River of Forgetfulness, the living regress, don't block the path of the dead."    

    

Lin Yun's eyelids twitched, and he immediately furrowed his brows.    

    

"Big brother, what's that?"    

    

"Shh! Don't speak!"    

    

White fog suddenly rose up and the water beast in the river suddenly went berserk. It opened its bloody mouth and jumped up, scaring the little girl so much that her face turned pale. Her whole body almost touched Lin Yun's body.    

    

It was not her fault for being so frightened. The main reason was that the water beast's appearance was too ferocious. Its body was full of lumps of flesh. In addition, black mucus dripped from their bodies from time to time, as well as the piles of maggots on their bodies. It made people retch.    

    

Not to mention the little girl, even Lin Yun couldn't help but frown. He immediately clenched the Blood Sword in his hand.    

    

Not only was this monster ugly, it was also extremely disgusting.    

    

Bang!    

    

A crisp sound rang out. However, the bridge actually lit up with a spark. The water beast that pounced over immediately cried out in pain and fell down.    

    

Lin Yun's hand that was holding the sword loosened upon seeing this scene. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said with a sigh, "Fortunately, there is an energy barrier blocking my path. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat for three days. Phew, this is really disgusting..."    

    

Behind him, Luo Xiuying and the others who had rushed over had the same pale face. Luo Caiying was even retching all the way. She couldn't even straighten her back.    

    

Lin Yun ignored them and maintained a steady pace as he walked forward.    

    

The closer they got to the center of the river, the wilder and wilder the water beasts became. They crashed into Lin Yun's ears and made loud noises. Sparks flew everywhere and lit up everything.    

    

The white fog was getting thicker and thicker. Lin Yun gradually felt a strange force that shocked him.    

    

This force was actually corroding his divine soul. If it wasn't for his keen senses, he probably wouldn't have been able to notice it.    

    

The appearance of this energy reminded him of the kind of energy that could affect the memory of living creatures. He was afraid that it was referring to this kind of strange energy.    

    

It could affect the memories of living creatures, which meant that this energy could devour the souls of living creatures.    

    

Thinking of this, Lin Yun recalled an ancient book he had read before. It was an ancient book related to the Ghost Cultivator.    

    

According to the book, not only would the Ghost Cultivator's spirit energy be converted into nether energy, but its soul would also be turned into nether energy, no longer belonging to living creatures.    

    

In the past, Lin Yun had always been confused about how the netherworld energy changed one's soul, but now he seemed to have found the answer.    

    

This strange energy was very likely the source of the Spirit Beings turning into the Ghost Cultivator, and netherworld energy was merely a product.    

    

"Then, can it be interpreted as this kind of power is the inner demon of a cultivator?"    

    

Lin Yun muttered, and thought of a terrifying possibility.    

    

That was, behind You, there was a terrifying ominous feeling. This ominous feeling was pervasive. As long as any cultivator made a mistake in their cultivation, they would directly devour the Spirit Beings's spirit and turn it into a Ghost Cultivator.    

    

Therefore, the so-called heart demon was definitely not a simple inner barrier of the Spirit Beings. It was most likely some kind of evil existence.    

    

The moment this thought emerged, Lin Yun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.    

    

The more he experienced, the more he felt the terror of this world. The things that were hidden in the dark were revealed step by step, causing Lin Yun to unconsciously feel frightened.
