Finally, I said goodbye to Dongzi's body, and I left the ward without hesitation.
The body without the soul is just an empty shell, and it looks useless except for the sadness. Just floating out of the ward, I suddenly remembered Dongzi's mother. I didn't want to see her so sad, but now that time is running short, there is no way to stay and comfort her. After thinking for a while, I waved my hand and summoned Callis. She is a kind and kind goddess, and she speaks very well. Should I be able to comfort her for her elderly?
Callis, who was summoned, looked awake. She was still wearing pink pajamas with white rabbits, and her feet were covered with fluffy rabbit ear slippers, rubbing her eyes and slurred: "Dear Hera, Is there anything I can do for you? "
Without saying a word, I directly changed her into Han Xiaole's appearance, pushing her on the shoulder and pushing her into the door: "Help me comfort the lady inside, remember, as a human being."
"Huh, why—okay."
She tried to protest, but immediately saw from my expression that this was not a joke, and immediately agreed obediently.
"Yes, Hera, I will complete your order."
"It's not an order, it's a request. It's just a mother who lost her child. Don't let her indulge in sadness. Remember, until I come back, you have to bear this identity."
Callis looked a little stunned, probably because Hera had never spoken about the request for two words. But it is not worth worrying about whether she can play Han Xiaole smoothly. This kind of thing is too simple for God.
After the hurried explanation, I quickly left this hospital, and I didn't fly in the night sky for a long time. This feeling was both familiar and strange. Standing at a high place and looking at the bright lights under my feet, I started to feel a little worried. In order to save Dongzi's soul, he is bound to get a trip to the kingdom of the dead. But Hades is not a supermarket, just go wherever you want, just go. I ca n’t make a phone call to Hades and say
Hello, I ’m going to see you, take a soul by the way, remember to pick me up by the river Styx
—the world of the underworld and the earth are two complete Different worlds, even if God stays in it for a long time, will slowly become dead and cannot return to the ground.
I had never been to Hades before when I was still on Mount Olympus. The meeting with Hades was also due to Persephone, and Demeter came to accuse him of human trafficking. At that time, all Olympus were shocked. He came to finish the matter in a hurry, and hurriedly took Persephone away, and I wanted to go up and say a few words to him, just remember the black cloak he flew behind him and the paleness of the dead. color. This man has always been selfless and unrelenting, and wonders whether he will open the net and let Dongzi come back.
Don't think about Hades's question first, how to get to Hades is the most critical. Although I have the power of Hera, my body is still a human and not a god, and I will die as soon as I walk into the underworld. No matter who you are, Hades will never want to leave there as long as it is dead. I was afraid that the daring intrusion into Dongzi hadn't brought it out, so I hung up and settled in Hades.
How to do it?
After thinking for a long time, I suddenly remembered Hermes at home.
In addition to running errands for Zeus, spying on news everywhere, protecting thieves, scammers and Apollo Ares, he occasionally works part-time as a guide for the undead. It's just that most of the people who are qualified to be guided by him are big men, so he won't lead ordinary people. Because of this, the double snake stick that is always in his hand can open the door to the Hades and protect him from being eroded by the breath of death. I can use his walking stick.
The idea was decided, I immediately flew towards the house and soon landed outside the bedroom window. There was no light in the room, closed my eyes and felt for a moment. My parents were not at home. Maybe they were behind me and went to the hospital. After all, Dongzi looked like them to his family. Perhaps, it is better to comfort Han Xiaole, who is heartbroken.
"Hermes."
When I got into the window, I screamed softly, and then I saw him appearing in the bedroom, still dressed as a human being, except that the winged shoes and the cane that shimmered in the dark were not humans' Dressed up.
"Lend me your cane."
Immediately, I don't want to talk nonsense.
He smiled, sorry but said clearly: "No."
"What! You actually disobeyed my orders!" I raised my eyebrows and was angry. After a little more time, Dongzi's soul will go further on the road to the underworld. Once he has crossed the river of forgetting, his memory as a human will never be recovered. No, even if he passed Huang Quan, it was really dead, and the soul could not be put back into the original body.
"Yes, yes, I should obey you, the respected god, but I must first obey Zeus. He can lend this walking stick to others without permission."
"I am no one else, give me!"
Speaking of that, I wanted to forcefully grab it, and no matter how bold Hermes was, I dared not actually confront me in person. But he evaded dexterously, hiding his cane behind his back, and sighed loudly.
"Hera, please forgive my rudeness. What's wrong with you? The destiny of that mankind has been fixed for a long time. Since the goddess of destiny cut off the line of life that belongs to him, you have no right to dry everything in his future. When you were in Mount Olympus, did n’t you value order and rules the most? Since that ’s the case, as a god, please do n’t take the lead in violating this, which will make it difficult for others. If everyone Just like you, you can change the life and death of human beings casually, and the world is not chaotic. "
"I don't need you to teach me, hum, when it comes to dominating the life and death of mankind, did Zeus do too little by himself, don't you want to let anyone who lives come alive. Hercules clearly has to reach the capital to pull it out. To be a god, I just want to bring a human soul back to the world and it ’s no big deal. "
Hermes ’s hard and tough post caused my suspicion:
Or, does this human death have a relationship with you? I did n’t see the ominous sign of death on his face, and took him away The soul is actually the of death, which is too ridiculous! "
He gave up his hands helplessly: "The old saying in this country, if you want to add sin, why don't you have any trouble. You must think that I am a ghost from it, then I can't do it. Zeus really didn't tell me to do this kind of thing-but According to your misunderstanding of him, you probably won't believe it. "
I sneered: "In order to evade questioning, he did not hesitate to turn his lover into a bull's eye and watched the man I pulled away. There is really no credibility."
Hermes moved unnaturally, and he also had a share of the matter: "I have no right to ask about you and Zeus. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can talk to Zeus. If you see you return to Olympus He will be very happy. But this cane ca n’t be borrowed, and I advise you to say that with the present mortal body, even if you hold the cane, you ca n’t support it in the underworld for too long. "
Seeing me silent, he threatened and said in general: "You haven't been to Hades, but I've been there. It's a terrible place that can't be described by words. Without a trace of light, you can only see darkness and death, everywhere. In the wind, you can hear the unknown screams and crying at any time. Countless undead hidden in the dark will rush out to grab you at any time, want to drag you in to be with them. If you have the glory of God, probably Defend them. But the human body will be weak and die before Huang Quan. "
"Really don't borrow?"
He rolled his eyes: "Hera! Don't do this. Zeus wants me to look at you well, not to let you run to Pluto. If he knew you were doing something like this, he would be mad. "
"Then drive him crazy."
I said categorically, then when he hadn't responded, rushed to the side table and picked up the fruit knife above.
"Hera!"
He was shocked and wanted to rush over, but it was too late, and I cut my neck with a knife. I haven't experienced the feeling of death, but I feel colder and colder, unable to stand, and soon fall to the ground. Hermes was helpless and wanted to block the neck that was spurting blood, but it was useless. I felt that my eyes were getting darker. When I was about to suffocate, I suddenly felt that my body was light, and I was already floating in the air.
"What are you doing! Don't forget that you are still human, and human! If you die, you will die!"
Hermes yelled at me with an iron complexion. I looked at him, and then looked at Han Xiaole, who was exactly like himself on the ground covered with blood, and suddenly felt a little funny.
"It turns out that my body is so bad that it hangs in less than a minute."
Now Hermes' face has completely turned black, and people who don't know think how much he cares about me. In fact, I know that he is too lazy to care whether I am dead or alive, if I stay in the underworld all my life. Come out, he absolutely laughed to death. But since Zeus told him to take good care of me, he turned me off to death, and he must have no good fruit after returning.
"& Amp; ...%!"
He murmured a few words in a voice that I could not hear, and suddenly his hands shook, and somehow he found a huge cloak and split his head to cover me: "Don't move! If it was taken away by the messenger of the Underworld Even I can't help it. "
Sure enough, I saw a large cloud of black mist floating in from the window, turned around a few times, and turned into a man in a black robe. He didn't seem to see me, but only Hermes, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.
"Hermes, how are you ..."
"Just passing by."
Hermes answered with a straight face, then waved his hand, and Han Xiaole's body on the ground was gone, and all the blood was gone. I'm a little thankful to him. Although there is Caris, it will be crazy if Mom and Dad come back to see this scene. Oops, no good, when I cut my neck, I did n’t think so much about the hot blood punch, what if my parents could not come back? No no, no, Hades will not be so unsympathetic, after all, we also have friendship for tens of thousands of years!
With the presence of Hermes, the messenger of the Hades was not easy to say anything, just looked around in doubt: "Strange, where is the soul of the dead ... Hermes, have you ..."
Hermes ignored him and took me directly and flew out of the window.
"Okay, if you win, Hera. Now I have to accompany you to the Underworld to see the dead!"
He gritted his teeth and said that the disguised gentleness and respect had long disappeared. I knew that Hermes always eats hard but not soft, this dead M, hum!

Talking about the structure of the underworld, Greek mythology says that there are not many geographical structures in the underworld. Combining Homer's epic description of the underworld, there are probably the following points.
The Underworld is located on the westernmost continent, deepest in the ground. There is a river at the entrance, ACHERON, also known as the River of Distress. Charon, the ferryman, rowed the boat and took the undead into the underworld. With the exception of sitting in his boat, no one alive can pass by, and will surely sink into the water and be corroded.
Cocytus, sighing the river, roaming countless unrestable souls on its banks, hence the name.
Then there is STYX, which is said to have turned nine times around Hades. There is an alias called "The River of Hate". Legend has it that if God crosses this river, he will lose his divine power, so humans and gods vow to be named after it. If you break the contract, you will be cursed by eternal life.
It is this river that formally separates the Yin and Yang realms. As long as it crosses this river, it is a real dead person, and no one can return to the world. Perhaps this river has a wider name—Huang Quan.
And what we often say "forget the river" is LETHE, as long as you drink the water inside, you will forget everything, waiting for the soul's judgment and reincarnation. This river will flow through the cave where the sleeping is. There is no life, no death, and there will be no sunshine. There will always be only clouds and mist. Everything is sleeping, quietly.
In addition, there is PHLEGETHON, which is always burning flames, called THERIVEROFFIRE, one of the five rivers in the underworld. It is said that the hero Achilles was burned by his mother with his heels in this river in exchange for invulnerability.
So to sum up the route of the dead into the underworld, first board the boat on the Styx River, pass the river of distress and sigh, down the tortuous river of hatred, cross the gate of guarded by the three-headed dog, drink the river Water, passing through Tartarus (there is no corresponding Chinese translation, probably referring to the dark layers of the abyss), to be judged, the beautiful and holy soul will continue along the underworld, and finally reach theElysianfields, which is the Pure Land of Bliss.
Bad souls are thrown into and punished. Generally good souls are reincarnated on their own ......... Well, this is what I did.
