Chapter Seventy-One: The Styx Ferryman
No one had ever known how long the bridge of life and death was, but what did they see just now?
The old woman has been guarding near the Bridge of Life and Death for I don't know how many years, and she has never seen such a scene, but she can make the Bridge of Life and Death soft, and obediently become like an ordinary arch bridge, which can be completed in just a few steps, except for the artifact of a higher level than the best immortal weapon, she can't think of any other possibilities.
After a moment of silence, the hunchbacked old man frowned and asked, "On the Yin and Yang Road, in addition to the Bridge of Life and Death, there are dangers in other places?"
The old woman hesitated for a moment, and replied with a wry smile: "The old woman is guarding near the bridge of life and death, no matter who it is, as long as you drink the old woman's soup, on the Yin and Yang Road, you can walk with confidence, and generally will not encounter too much danger." ”
"It's not for nothing that refuses to drink the old woman's soup and still walks the yin and yang road safely, but those adults are either big-name immortals, or they are born with the protection of gods. ”
"After all, that little brother is just an ordinary person, whether he can safely walk the Yin and Yang Road depends on the power of the artifact on his body. ”
Speaking of this, the old woman hesitated to look at the hunchbacked old man and asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister Turtle, who is that little brother?"
Now the hunchbacked old man's face was slightly gloomy, and the old woman hurriedly explained: "Xiaoxian didn't mean to spy on your secrets, but just wanted to say that if the safety of this little brother is really important, Prime Minister Gui, Xiaoxian can report to the Hades King for you." As long as the great Hades Lord is willing to take action, I believe that no matter how big the trouble is, it will not be a problem. ”
The hunchbacked old man's eyelids jumped, and he waved his hand without hesitation: "Ahem, no need, this little thing, there is no need to alarm Lord Hades." ”
Although the Spirit Race is the oldest and most powerful race in the Spirit Realm, the Hades King is not easy to mess with, especially this Hades Lord is known for his eccentric temperament, and often likes to pretend to be ordinary people walking around the Spirit Realm to toss people.
Even those bigwigs of the Spirit Clan don't want to have too much contact with this Hades Lord when they have nothing to do, so as not to be so angry that they vomit blood, but they can't do it.
The hunchbacked old man knew this very well, and he was really going to trouble the Hades King, and he was sure that even small things would definitely be made into a bunch of big things.
Coming down from the bridge of life and death, Mo Fei walked straight along the path under his feet, and soon stopped again.
The path under your feet had come to an end, and there was still a hazy fog ahead, and there was a faint sound of waves crashing against the shore.
What is the way home, this is clearly the spiritual world.
Moreover, not far in front of you, it is likely to be a lake, or even a sea.
He looked around suspiciously, and couldn't help frowning and muttering: "The old woman just now was too unreliable, first with the strange soup in Guli, and then said that after walking across the arched bridge, I can go home." But now there is still fog around me, let alone returning to the Eternal Great 6, I don't know where to go. ”
The spirit world was already very cold, standing by the water, quiet, Mo Fei suddenly shivered, and walked left and right for a while, before he felt a little more comfortable in his stiff hands and feet.
Glancing at Xiaobai on his shoulder, the corners of Mo Fei's mouth twitched.
In such a cold place, he was so cold that he couldn't stand it, the little guy lay firmly on his shoulder, his little nose and mouth moved slightly, he was actually sleeping soundly, and there was a soft snoring sound from time to time.
Murphy nodded the little one's nose amusedly, and then, carefully, picked the little one up, and gently put it in the pocket of the inner layer of his clothes.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but wipe his eyes and look intently: "Hey, what is that?"
In the distance, in the depths of the mist, a small boat slowly sailed towards this side, and several figures could be faintly discerned on the boat.
Murphy, who had been waiting for a long time, waited with a little excitement and nervousness for the boat to dock.
Finally, dozens of paces away, the boat stopped, and five or six people with dull eyes, stiff faces, and no expression at all, disembarked one after another.
On the shore, two black-clothed men suddenly walked out of the thick fog, and without saying a word, they led the five or six people back to the original road.
Mo Fei looked at this scene in a daze, especially the two men in black, he had been walking around here for a long time, and he had also been to the location where the men in black came out, but he didn't show that there were these two men in black nearby, where did these two big brothers come from?
"Hey, you're human?"
Next to the boat, a ten-year-old woman, full of youthful air and delicate appearance, looked Mo Fei up and down, her eyes were full of surprise.
Mo Fei hurriedly stepped forward: "Yes, I am a human being, I accidentally arrived in the spirit world a few days ago, and I am worried that I can't find my way back." Can you, sister, tell me where I'm going?"
The young woman chuckled: "Little brother, if you go on like this, you will never want to go back, not everyone can walk on the Yin and Yang Road." ”
Mo Fei's face changed, he took a deep breath, and bowed: "My name is Mo Fei, the Mo family of Xishui Town, Dongyuan Principality, Wangu Da 6. If possible, ask this sister to tell me how to get home. As long as he can go home, no matter how difficult it is, Murphy is willing to give it a try. ”
The young woman was silent for a moment, then secretly rolled her eyes and looked up at Murphy: "Although my boat travels to and from the River Styx all year round, it never carries additional passengers, and it is not allowed on it. Once it is revealed, let alone you, I can't protect myself. ”
Mo Fei was slightly stunned, as if he understood the young woman's meaning, and pointed to the place where the layers of fog were hidden: "This sister, you mean that if I want to go back, I must cross this Styx?"
The young woman pursed her lips and smiled: "The Yin and Yang Road separates the Yin and Yang worlds, of which the River Styx is the most critical, and the top is very close. My sister is just a very ordinary ferryman, and she can't do this. ”
Mo Fei sighed disappointedly: "Then don't bother this sister, I'll find another way." ”
Although he was anxious, he didn't want to bother the others, the Styx ferryman could tell him so much, and he was already content to know that the River Styx was not far from his feet.
As for going home, he didn't give up, because he believed that even if he couldn't find another way to go home, everything would no longer be a problem when the hunchbacked old man caught up.
As soon as Murphy turned around and was about to take another walk, a young woman's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Hey, little brother, if you want to return to the human world, there is only one way to go back to the Styx." Although my sister doesn't dare to be the master to carry you through the whole journey, it's not that she can't carry you. ”
Mo Fei looked back and looked at the young woman in surprise: "This sister, what you said is true, won't it cause you trouble by doing this?"
The young woman covered her mouth and chuckled: "It may be a little troublesome, but as long as you listen to your sister, you should be fine." ”
Mo Fei nodded again and again, the hope of going home was in front of him, let him do whatever he wanted, he was already a little impatient.
The young woman coughed lightly, which made Murphy calm down immediately, only to hear the young woman say with a serious face: "The River Styx is very dangerous, and it is not for nothing that my sister's boat carries the dead and not the living. Well, little brother, my sister just asked, did you come from the bridge of life and death by yourself?"
Mo Fei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
He hadn't heard of it, but he had just walked across a strange and dangerous arch bridge, and that was probably it.
