my neighbor is kind of charming

The dark red sky and the dark red Styx River water complement each other, the Styx River flows into the underworld, and Fang Chen sits on a dilapidated boat, watching the scenery along the way.

There is not even a sound of a boat rowing across the dark water, not even the sound of a rower paddling through the water, and there is no sound of insects or birds, and there is not even the sound of the wind.

If it weren't for the weird environment at this time, Fang Chen really thought he was traveling somewhere.

"Who are you?" The place on the boat was small, and Fang Chen didn't dare to get too close to the rower, so he sat on the corner of the boat with his legs curled up.

"It's just the trash pickers on the Styx River." The rower said calmly.

Pick up trash?

Fang Chen was still a little unresponsive at first, "There are also people throwing garbage in this Styx river?"

"Yes! You are." The rower said this very flatly, as if he was stating a fact, not Tao Kan.

"..." So what fell into the River Styx was rubbish?

"Why did I come here? Am I dead?" Fang Chen stretched out his hand and touched himself. There was a body, not Ah Piao!

From Fang Chen's gaze, the rower showed a pair of dark, dull eyes, as if the man was staring at him fiercely, so scared that Fang Chen didn't fall off the boat.

After seeing Fang Chen's pale face with fright, the boatman lowered his eyelids, "I don't know."

"Oh!" Seeing that the rower was hurt by his actions just now, Fang Chen felt a little guilty, "...I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose just now. In fact, after contacting you, you are quite a good person, and you just saved me , I haven't thanked you yet!"

"No need." The oars in the hands of the rower did not stop.

Fang Chen was sitting on a boat, wandering in the Styx, and after a while, he saw a bridge in front of him.That bridge looks like an ordinary bridge, there is nothing unique about it except that it looks older, and there are some white shadows floating from one side to the other on the bridge.

Since this is the underworld, could it be...the legendary Naihe Bridge?

"Brother, is that bridge the Naihe Bridge?" Fang Chen deliberately changed the name to express his goodwill.

The rower didn't look back, and just said "Hmm!"

"If I'm really dead, should I also go to reincarnation, drink Meng Po soup, and cross the Naihe Bridge." Fang Chen looked at the Naihe Bridge and asked.

The rower said nothing.

Fang Chen said again: "But I don't want to die."

He and Mo Ran haven't been together for a month yet!And he hasn't brought Mo Ran to meet his family yet!I can't just die like this.

Just when Fang Chen was sad alone, the boat stopped. Fang Chen felt the boat stop, and he looked at the rower suspiciously.

The boatman said: "Go ashore! You can find the answer you want when you go ashore."

The boat was docked in a low-lying place, and a road was clearly visible.

Fang Chen hesitated for a moment, then he stepped off the boat carefully, "Thank you! Brother." Fang Chen stood on the shore and smiled at the rower.

In fact, after looking at this person's appearance for a long time, I don't feel afraid anymore.

The rower rowed his boat away. In a daze, Fang Chen seemed to hear a sentence: Don't fall off next time.

Fang Chen let out a long sigh, and then walked out along the road.Thinking happily in bitterness, he has never been to the underworld!Just treat it as a trip, even though it may come and go.

I thought it was unlucky to enter the underworld for no reason, but I didn't expect that even more unlucky things were to come.He went down the small path, and when he reached the level ground, ghost messengers surrounded him, one from left and one from right clamped him.

"Did you come up from there?" Guichajia pointed to the path where Fang Chen had just come up.

Fang Chen saw a real ghost messenger for the first time, in black tight-fitting ancient costumes, with a black hat on his head, a knife pinned to his waist, and a heroic look between his brows.

Guichai B went on to say: "Stupid and stupid, I guess he fell into the Styx River and became stupid. Forget it, let's take him to reincarnation directly."

"..." He didn't say anything yet!This is too hasty!

"Let's go!" Ghost messenger A and B grabbed Fang Chen's hand and went to Naihe Bridge.

Fang Chen was anxious, he still hadn't figured out what was going on?Just go to the reincarnation too unclearly, what if he is not dead yet, what if he makes a mistake.

"Brother Ghost..."

Hearing Fang Chen speak, Guichai B looked at Guichai A in surprise, "Hey! Was this ghost calling us just now?"

Fang Chen: "..." I was standing in the middle, you insisted on asking him over me.

Ghost messenger A: "..." My partner is so embarrassing, maybe he is the ghost who has lost his mind!

"Brother Guicha, am I dead now?" Fang Chen continued.

Ghost messenger B said: "Nonsense, you have already gone to hell, do you still think you are alive?"

"But, how could I fall into the Styx River? Do ghosts fall into the Styx River after people die, and enter the underworld from there?" Shouldn't they be attracted by the impermanence of black and white, then enter the gate of ghosts, and then go to the underworld?Has the government process changed?Or is that the way it was originally, and those are just people making up.

"I still want to ask you! Why did you fall into the Styx River, and you are fine after falling into the Styx River!" Guichai Yi looked puzzled.

In other words, this Styx River is generally used to throw useless ghosts, and ordinary ghosts will disappear within a moment after being thrown into it.

Although there are some unlucky ghosts who will fall, they will become stupid if they don't dissipate after they come up. It's rare for a ghost like this to fall so normally after falling.

Fang Chen himself was at a loss, so it was naturally impossible to answer him.

Ghost messenger A said: "Why do you ask so much! Anyway, he is going to reincarnate, so what if he knows."

Fang Chen said with a sad face, "But..." I can't die yet! ...He seems to be dead, no, he can't go to reincarnation.

During the words, Fang Chen has been taken to the place of reincarnation by ghost messengers.There are not many people reincarnated, and Fang Chen is at the bottom, still a little away from Naihe Bridge.

He thought, after the two ghost messengers left, he would sneak over.Although the two ghost guards escorted him and left, there were still ghost guards nearby to maintain order and prevent the incident of jumping in line and escaping, so he couldn't escape at all.

Seeing that it was almost time for him to drink Po Meng's soup and cross the Naihe Bridge, Fang Chen saw that Po Meng looked exactly like his aunt Fang Yizhang.

Fang Chen was shocked at the time, and when he realized it, there was no one in front of him, and it was time for him to drink Mengpo soup.

The Meng Po, who had the same face as her aunt, numbly handed him a bowl of soup.

Fang Chen looked at the colorless Meng Po soup in his hand, and couldn't put it down anyway. His life couldn't just end like this. Fang Chen said to the tentative Meng Po: "Auntie?"

Po Meng didn't seem to hear, she stirred the soup in the porcelain jar with a spoon.

"Auntie, I'm Fang Chen." Fang Chen said again.

Po Meng stopped her hands and looked up at Fang Chen. Just when Fang Chen thought there was hope, Po Meng said leisurely: "Drink it! After drinking this bowl of Po Meng soup, the past and the past have nothing to do with you."

Looks like they just look the same!

Fang Chen's originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed. If he had known that he would be sitting on that person's boat and would not be able to go ashore, he would be able to buy a little more time until Mo Ran came to save him.

But if he is dead, Mo Ran can't save him!

Fang Chen looked at the Mengpo soup in his hand and kept wondering whether he should drink it or not.Just when Fang Chen was struggling, there was a commotion behind him, and when he looked up, two figures, one black and one white, had appeared in front of him.

This is... black and white impermanence?

Bai Wuchang didn't look at Fang Chen, but said to Po Meng: "Po Meng, there is something wrong with your soup."

Soup problem?Fang Chen looked at the Mengpo soup in his hand suspiciously, what's the problem?

Bai Wuchang continued: "Your Po Meng Soup can only make ghosts forget for a short time, and you will remember it soon after reincarnation. There have been many such things in the world, so what's wrong with this Meng Po Soup?"

No wonder some people are born child prodigies, it turns out that the memory has not been completely erased!Fang Chen put down the Mengpo soup in his hand, and stood silently watching the excitement.

Like Fang Chen's reaction to her talking just now, Po Meng stopped her hand stirring Meng Po soup, raised her head and said leisurely: "Drink it! After drinking this bowl of Meng Po soup, the past and the past have nothing to do with you. "

Fang Chen's heart is ooc, damn it!Is Po Meng a puppet?

Seeing Po Meng like this, Hei Wu frowned, "Incarnation outside the body, the real Po Meng is not here."

It turned out to be a fake!How does this move feel a little familiar.

Bai Wuchang summoned a ghost messenger, "Where did the real Po Meng go?"

"I don't know!" The ghost messengers shook their heads in unison.

Hei Wuchang frowned even deeper, and then he looked at Fang Chen, "You haven't drunk yet, have you?"

Fang Chen shook his head.

"That's good, you can reincarnate later!"

The ghost about to be reincarnated has already gone, and Fang Chen is the last one, and there is no one behind him.

Hearing what Hei Wuchang said, Fang Chen was pleasantly surprised. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly realized that although he could leave now, he would be reincarnated sooner or later if he stayed in the underworld.And Guan Hun's black and white impermanence is here, he can take this opportunity to ask himself why he came to the underworld, and whether he is really dead.

That's right, until now, he still couldn't believe that he was dead, and he died in an inexplicable way.

"Why don't you leave?" Seeing Fang Chen still standing where he was, Hei Wuchang said.

Fang Chen put on a smiling face, "Well, I want to ask, did you bring me to the underworld?"

Bai Wuchang smiled "Puff", "How could this ghost ask such a stupid question, it wasn't us, could it be you who came here by yourself!"

Fang Chen shook his head seriously, "I don't know! I fell into the Styx River somehow."

"No way?" Bai Wuchang looked at Fang Chen with a strange look, and even Hei Wuchang's eyes changed a little.

After looking at Fang Chen, Bai Wuchang touched his chin and said, "I don't think I've seen him. Have you seen him?" Bai Wuchang pushed Hei Wuchang.

"No."

"Ah! I really came here by myself. And it fell into the Styx River, so what should I do?" Bai Wuchang said, "I don't know if my lifespan is over, should I send it back?"

As soon as he heard that he might go back, Fang Chen's surprised little eyes almost flew out.

"We'll talk about his affairs later. The most important thing now is to get Po Meng back first, and secondly, this Meng Po soup can no longer be drunk by ghosts." Hei Wuchang turned to the ghost guard and said: "You take care of this place , You can’t reincarnate ghosts until you find the real Po Meng.”

Guicha Bingding said: "Yes! Master Heiwuchang."

"Let's go!" Hei Wuchang said to Bai Wuchang after giving the order.

Fang Chen watched Bai Wuchang just follow Hei Wuchang away, and wanted to cry in his heart, what should he do?After finally having a chance to go back, he just left?

Just when Fang Chen burst into tears, Bai Wuchang turned his head and said, "Why are you in a daze, follow up?"

The rain turned sunny in Fang Chen's heart in an instant, and he ran to keep up.

"What's your name?" Bai Wuchang asked.

"Fang Chen."

"Okay, after we find Granny Meng, I'll check it out for you and see what's going on with you."

"Thank you!" Even though Fang Chen was already grateful in his heart, his face was still very reserved, and his eyes kept shining brightly.

"By the way, Po Meng looks exactly like my aunt." Fang Chen said suddenly.

Heiwuchang's eyes changed, and his tone became a little harsh, "Your aunt? What's your name?"

"Fang Yi."

Hei Wuchang grabbed Fang Chen's clothes and asked, "Where is she now?"

When Fang Chen was teased by him like this, his heart immediately lifted, and an idea flashed through his mind.

"I don't know. I was still in Jishui County when I was with her. Now that it's been so long, I don't know."

Hei Wuchang let go of his hand and returned to his previous calm appearance, "Let's go! Go and have a look."

Bai Wuchang moved closer to Fang Chen, "What were you doing before you came here?"

"I was on the way to pick up my aunt home, and then I seemed to fall asleep, and then when I woke up..." Fang Chen told what happened to him, and then heard Bai Wuchang say: "So , you were most likely brought down by your aunt."

"My aunt can't really be Po Meng?" Although Fang Chen's eyes were a little unbelievable, he knew it in his heart.

"En!" Bai Wuchang nodded.

"Then why did she bring me to the underworld? Didn't she want me to accompany her?" Fang Chen felt chills behind him, aunt wouldn't cheat herself like this!

"It's possible! But you won't know until you see her."
