The Classic of Mountains and Seas Through Ancient and Modern Times

Chapter 71

Seeing the woman in the river sinking gradually, Lu Jiaqi finally couldn't hold back and rushed out.

Just when Lu Jiaqi was about to jump into the river to save others, suddenly a white line wrapped around her waist and dragged her. At the same time, a black shadow rushed out and hurried across the water, and the sinking woman had already landed on the bridge. above.

Li Mu pulled Bai Lian and stared at her with dissatisfaction, and said, "You are really stupid, jumping down in such cold weather to seek death!" Then he pulled Bai Lian fiercely, rolled Lu Jiaqi and pulled him Take it into your arms.

On the other hand, Xiao Zixi stood on the railing of the bridge with a relaxed expression, and his black brocade clothes were blown by the cold wind: "I really don't understand you human beings, you are thinking of others even though you are already in danger."

After speaking, his eyes fell on Hua Shuo who had rushed over. After Hua Shuo gave simple first aid, he tested the man's nose and pulse, and finally shook his head: "He's dead!"

"Dead?!" Lu Jiaqi clenched her fists, and she didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment. If she had stopped her from the beginning, if she hadn't hesitated, would she have died like this?

"Stupid woman..." Li Mu stopped her waist and pressed her head against his chest, "I only allow you to hug her for a while."

Lu Jiaqi cried loudly when she heard the words, which made Li Mu flustered for a while, thinking that she had said something wrong: "You can keep hugging, but you are not allowed to cry, it will stain my... clothes of."

I don't know if his comforting words had the opposite effect, but Lu Jiaqi cried even louder.Li Mu, who had a headache from being quarreled, could only compromise in the end: "Then, cry if you want to cry!"

Xiao Zixi and Hua Shuo looked at each other silently when they heard the words, and turned their heads away, Xiao Zixi, who was standing on the bridge railing, said in his heart: After staying with human beings for too long, IQ has become lower, Lu Jiaqi doesn't care about this at all, okay? ?
Hua Shuo at the side also had some thoughts in his mind. Before he knew Li Mu, he always thought that the demon king should be a cold-blooded, ruthless, murderous monster.But now he feels that sometimes the demon king is much easier to get along with than the majestic Fushan Immortal.

On the contrary, Lu Jiaqi finally spoke after crying for a long time: "I always feel that I murdered her. Although I also think my thoughts are too holy, but we have a chance to save her, but I look at her because of my selfishness." died……"

"Idiot!" Li Mu interrupted her, "Everyone has his own destiny, isn't there a saying in your world? The King of Hades will let you die on the third watch, and will never keep you until the fifth watch. Even if you strike early, you can only take her for a while , cannot save the whole life.”

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, he heard a burst of applause from the side, and Xiao Zixi looked at the two jokingly: "Your eloquence is really good, my persuasion is really good. It's really wonderful, it really makes those who hear it cry..."

Speaking of which, after Xiao Zixi leaped to grab Li Mu's blow and landed on the bridge, he said seriously, "Okay, it's time."

Lu Jiaqi looked at Xiao Zixi suspiciously: "What time is it?" Just as he was speaking, he saw a transparent soul floating out of the corpse lying on the ground.

Although I have seen many monsters and ghosts in this strange world, but this is the first time I have seen a ghost!Lu Jiaqi couldn't help leaning towards Li Mu in fear.Seeing this, Li Mu held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid!"

Perhaps because she trusted Li Mu too much, Lu Jiaqi's heart that was beating wildly became quiet for a moment.

And Hua Shuo watched with bated breath, only to see the woman looked around, walked up to Lu Jiaqi, and suddenly stretched out her hand to hold her.Lu Jiaqi was about to scream, but Li Mu covered her mouth.

The woman looked at Lu Jiaqi for a long time before saying, "Are you going to Styx too?"

Xiao Zixi nodded to Lu Jiaqi upon hearing the words, and then Lu Jiaqi broke away from Li Mu's hand and said, "Yes!"

When the woman heard the words, she turned her head and walked in front. Xiao Zixi waved her hand to signal Lu Jiaqi to follow, and then the other three followed.

It's just that besides being afraid, Lu Jiaqi's mind is full of questions at the moment, why this person can see herself but can't seem to see Li Mu and the others?And how did she know that she was going to Styx?This is too strange.

Xiao Zixi seemed to have seen Lu Jiaqi's doubts, and suddenly waved his sleeves and turned into a crow and landed on Lu Jiaqi's shoulder: "This is the yang world, and the yang energy is stronger than the yin energy, so the dead cannot see the living, but you are different." , you are dead, so she can see you."

"Then how did she know we were going to Styx?" Lu Jiaqi turned her head and asked back, but accidentally caught Li Mu looking over silently.

Apparently Li Mu also saw her, and made a silencing gesture to her, signaling her not to speak.

Xiao Zixi said patiently: "Everyone will know where they are going after death. If they fail to reach the destination within the specified time limit, Black and White will come to arrest them."

"Huh?" Lu Jiaqi looked sideways at the crow on her shoulder, "So we might encounter black and white?"

"How is it possible?" Xiao Zixi asked back, and suddenly felt a figure shrouded behind him, but before he had time to react, he was tightly grasped by the other party, only to hear Chen Huang's gloomy voice: "Master, let's take care of yourself." How about we talk?"

Seeing the three people who were gradually falling behind, Lu Jiaqi suddenly quickened her pace and caught up with the woman: "Hi, my name is Lu Jiaqi, how about you?"

The woman looked sideways at Lu Jiaqi, then turned her head away: "Liu Er, my name is Liu Er."

"Oh," Lu Jiaqi nodded, but in the end she couldn't help but wonder, "Then why did you commit suicide?"

The woman stopped suddenly when she heard the words, and it took a long time before she walked forward again with her head sullen.Lu Jiaqi thought that the other party was unwilling to tell, so she hurriedly chased after her and apologized: "I'm sorry, if you don't want to tell me, I don't have to ask."

"No," the woman shook her head, "I'm not unwilling to say it, in fact, everyone knows about me, and it doesn't matter if I tell you."

"Forehead?!"

"I..." Liu'er pursed her lips, "I fell in love with someone I shouldn't love, can't love, and can't afford to love."

ha?Lu Jiaqi's eyes widened in surprise, it could be forbidden love.

Just when Lu Jiaqi was guessing, Li Mu, Xiao Zixi, and Hua Shuo had already followed.

Liu'er shook hands: "I fell in love with a monster!" After speaking, Liu'er stopped and covered her face and cried, "I really like him, and I know he likes me very much, but...but the monster You can't fall in love with people!"

"If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for my reasons, he...maybe he wouldn't have died."

　So the question is, can humans and monsters love each other?
