thief, don't run

Chapter 23 Naihe Bridge

I don't know how I got out of the burial pit, Zhong Liyun walked a few steps behind An Lingxue, Zhong Liyun seemed to be in a hurry, and didn't talk to her along the way, just walked forward with his head depressed.

An Lingxue felt that something was wrong, walking along the way, it was fine before, there was only one road, and they had no other choice but to go along, but since coming out of the burial pit, this is no longer a road. The straight bluestone corridor branched out to other paths on both sides, but Zhong Liyun didn't hesitate at all, chose one and walked over.

She had no choice but to keep up, but this was different from the previous tunnel.The imperial mausoleum occupies a huge area, and the inner corridors are also built according to the roads in the imperial city. It is extremely wide, and there are more than ten people in line without feeling crowded.But the place was suddenly narrow, and there were only two more people walking side by side, so she followed a little tighter, not daring to relax behind her, and from time to time confirmed that Xiao Yunzi was at her feet.

A wide place always makes people feel more open, while a narrow place makes people feel oppressed. An Lingxue feels that this road... is a bit evil, and even the firelight reflected on the wall is much deeper.

She also had another level of worry. Zhongliyun chose this path without hesitation. She should have some confidence in her heart, and the closer she got to the main hall of the mausoleum, the more anxious she became. Could it be that, for this imperial mausoleum, she Is there anything else I haven't said?

Xiao Yunzi, who was always lively, also quieted down a lot, not noisy at all, quietly followed her, and An Lingxue felt a little bit uneasy in her heart.

Fortunately, this road is not long, and after a short walk, the scene changed.

Zhong Liyun, who was walking in front, stamped his feet suddenly, without turning his head, he looked ahead, with a little excitement in his voice, "Here we are, Naihe Bridge."

With a jump in his heart, An Lingxue took a few quick steps and discerned the situation ahead, it really was Naihe Bridge.

There is no right or wrong on the Naihe Bridge, there is no right or wrong across the Wangchuan River, there is no right or wrong in front of the Sansheng Stone, and there will be Meng Po at the Wangxiang Terrace.

That is to say, did they take Huangquan Road just now?

An Lingxue glanced back, and belatedly realized that the road she had walked before was indeed like Huangquan Road, and she had seen its description in a drawing book.

Suppressing the strangeness in her heart, An Lingxue walked towards the Naihe Bridge in front of her. There was no road in front of her more than ten steps away, it was a cliff, An Lingxue looked down from the edge of the cliff, it was covered with black mist If it is a tangible entity, it fills here, as if rising from the bottom, it seems to be still flowing faintly, until it reaches the feet, it has just faded a little.

According to the book, the Wangchuan River is full of solitary ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, insects and snakes are everywhere, and the wind is blowing.An Lingxue quickly stepped back.

Holding the torch and looking into the distance, I can't see anything, but there are three iron chain bridges tied to the cliff, hanging slightly downwards, with two iron chains extending past, and a few wooden planks on the bridge deck, which seem to be in good condition. But I don't know how many years have passed here, it seems a little decayed.

Looking at the Naihe Bridge on the Wangchuan River, there is a stone standing beside the bridge, which should be the Sansheng Stone engraved with the cause and effect of the previous life.

Before An Lingxue took a closer look, Zhong Liyun walked past her behind her, looked at the three cable bridges, and then chose the one near the far right, before stepping on it, An Lingxue called out to stop her.

"Wait, why are you leaving, shouldn't we make a good plan?"

Zhong Liyun looked at her with a dull expression, "What are you planning?"

"Yes, there are many. Which of the three bridges should I take? Why is the layout here so similar to reincarnation? Also, the bridge here is Naihe Bridge. Who knows what is on the opposite side, and the bridge is in disrepair for a long time. It should be unsteady to walk."

There is also the underground Wangchuan River, which also looks terrifying.

But she didn't say this, otherwise she would be underestimated again.

Zhong Liyun looked at her and thought for a while, but before An Lingxue could stop her, she stepped onto the plank, shook the iron chains on both sides, and said, "Don't worry, look, it's very safe ,come on."

How could she be so sloppy!An Lingxue frowned, and brought Xiao Yunzi to the cable bridge, still a little uneasy. She carefully checked the condition of the cable bridge, but she still didn't set foot on it.

Doing this is really too hasty. Walking in the tomb must be done with care. It is obviously not so simple here. After crossing the Naihe Bridge, you will be in the Underworld, where you will be reincarnated.

Worryingly raised his head, but saw her smiling face, Zhong Liyun almost narrowed his eyes, and smiled brightly, "Don't worry, don't you believe me?"

Believe, naturally.An Lingxue put aside her extra thoughts and followed her on the bridge of Naihe.

If someone dies at the age of 97, he will wait on the bridge for three years.Looking back for a moment, the promise of a century, the love of a lifetime, will last forever.

Something went wrong after all.

"Leave it alone, let's go!"

"But Xiao Yunzi..."

"If you don't stop, you will be subject to chaos! People are not as important as animals!" Zhong Liyun's face was ferocious, and he almost roared out.

Beast... An Lingxue's complexion was not much better, and her heart jumped even more, but right now she couldn't help but hesitate, being pulled by Zhong Liyun, she wanted to break free, but she didn't twist her strength, and was pulled by her and left there.

Xiao Yunzi's eyes were full of despair, An Lingxue thought it was her illusion, she felt that Xiao Yunzi was crying.

Unfortunately, in an instant, it fell down.

"What on earth are you trying to do!" All An Lingxue's sadness instantly turned into anger, and she lashed out at the people around her, "Little Yunzi is dead!"

"I saw it." Unlike her, after the incident, Zhongliyun showed no expression, "It's just because of its bad luck. If we don't leave, it will fall."

The wooden boards under his feet made a creaking sound, and the cable bridge wobbled because of the accident just now, as if it would break at any moment. A cloud of black mist could be seen in the gap between the boards, spreading up as if it could eat people, entangled in people's limbs soles of feet.

An Lingxue felt nauseous for a while, and Zhong Liyun glanced at her, without saying a word, turned and walked straight forward, the wooden board she stepped on creaked.

Everything happened in an instant, and she felt that the bridge board here must have been put here for an unknown amount of time, and it must be corrupt and easily damaged, as it was just now.When they got on the bridge, Zhong Liyun walked in front and led the charge, An Lingxue followed closely behind, and Xiao Yunzi followed behind the two of them, tremblingly moving their paws on the wooden boards that were half an arm's width apart.

By the time the sound of "Kara Kala" was heard, it was already too late.An Lingxue looked back habitually, only to find that Xiao Yunzi was a few steps away from them, hunched over and sinking. The claws were pulling and pulling, desperately grasping the edge of the board.

"Wow woo woo woo woof woof woof -"

An Lingxue didn't know what it was calling, so she turned around to save it, but Zhong Liyun grabbed her arm behind her, "If we go back again, the bridge deck will be overwhelmed, and we will all fall!"

"Leave it alone! Go!"

"Are humans less important than animals!"

She didn't think about saving it, let it be, and stopped her from saving it, and said that Xiao Yunzi was an animal!

Although Xiao Yunzi is a dog, he is very obedient and has been with her for so many days. He must have a deep relationship, but suddenly it disappeared. She couldn't accept it for a while. She just thought that when she got to the other side of the bridge, she must Beat Zhong Liyun up.

Too bad she didn't make it to the end.

It was too late and then fast, the moment she heard the sound, she felt that her feet were empty, and her whole body fell straight down. An Lingxue subconsciously grabbed the iron chain beside her, and then her whole body was suspended in the air and slammed forward, smashing He was solid, with stars in his eyes.

There was a buzzing in her head, and when she was unconscious, she still remembered to hold on to the iron chain and not let go. She thought that she was just like Xiao Yunzi, who stepped on the rotten board and stepped on the ground. After seeing it, she realized that things were much worse than she had imagined.

It wasn't that the boards were rotten, but that the entire cable bridge broke somewhere in the middle. They grabbed the chains and swayed to the other side of the cliff with inertia. Fortunately, she hit her back. If she was facing her face, she might have been completely unrecognizable by now. .

Her life was saved for the time being, but the situation was not optimistic. Her back was in burning pain, the trauma should be quite serious, and her internal organs were also impacted, like a huge wave in the river, and all the sediment at the bottom of the river was churning up. It was difficult to calm down for a while.

My head was also dizzy, but I saw Zhongli Yunzai right above her at the first moment. Before the accident, she was walking in front of her, but luckily she didn't fall off. She was also climbing on the iron chain of the bridge cable like her, so it shouldn't be too late. hinder.

"Hey, are you okay?" An Lingxue still asked for confirmation.

Zhong Liyun glanced at her, did not answer her, but looked at a certain place above with an unfriendly expression.

An Lingxue's intuition was not good, she used her internal strength a little, and when her eyes and ears became clearer and she looked over, she gritted her teeth.

Their situation is not good, their bodies are injured, and their strength is weak, they have been hanging here, there is still some distance from the edge of the cliff, and the cliff is vertical, it is not easy to go up, if the two cooperate, there is a glimmer of life .

But they were about to break the chain.

They didn't hang here all the time, but swinging back and forth. The iron chain not far from them had been knocking on a protruding rock, and was grinding back and forth non-stop. Now it's almost broken. broken.

An Lingxue's hands tightened unconsciously, and she tried her best to maintain her balance to prevent the situation from getting worse, but it was of no avail. No one knew if they would fall off in the next moment.

But she still didn't want to die, An Lingxue swallowed her saliva, and asked softly, "Do you have a solution?"

Zhong Liyun thought for a while, "Yes."

After a pause, he said again: "But only one can live."

For no reason, An Lingxue felt a chill down her back, it wasn't the black mist at the bottom of the cliff, it wasn't the injury on her back, but Zhong Liyun's tone, which was calm and heartless.

"So," Zhong Liyun turned to look at her, with a smile on his lips, "as long as one person here chooses to let go, the pressure on the chain will be relieved, and more time will be bought for the other person to have a chance to go up. "

An Lingxue said nothing, just stared at her blankly.This is a choice, a difficult and very simple choice.

She doesn't want to die.

"I don't want to die." Zhong Liyun looked at her and said, "I don't want you to die either."

An Lingxue's palm was covered with sweat, it was so greasy that she could hardly hold the iron chain in her hand.

"What do you think should be done?" Zhongliyun asked.

An Lingxue's throat tightened a little, she didn't want to die, and she didn't want Zhong Liyun to die, she didn't want to make a choice, but there was no time for her to slowly think about gains and losses.

The answer is simple.

She was about to speak when Zhong Liyun took a step ahead of her, and said, "I'm sorry, people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will perish!"

An Lingxue's pupils dilated suddenly, and Zhongliyun smiled and pulled out 'Dingsheng' and stuck it in the back of her hand, his amber eyes were full of luster.

"On the Naihe Bridge, the River of Forgetfulness is never crossed, beside the Sansheng Stone, the way back to the Underworld!"

you……

"Axue—!"
