At dusk, Qingluan flew to a place called Qianyundu due west and stopped at Yang Huaiping's meeting, and then Yang Huaiping jumped off Qingluan's back.

It seems that it had just rained here, and the wooden trestle looked wet, and at this time there were many men and women standing by a babbling stream with lanterns, but they did not put their lanterns into the water, and some of them looked up at the sunset that gradually sank into the western mountains, as if waiting for dark.

Yang Huaiping took Qingluan and stopped at the ferry at the end of the wooden trestle, he raised his eyes to look at the endless stream with no end in sight, and his heart fluctuated.

An old man with a rickety back, a cold figure, depressed, withered, wearing gray-blue style clothes, standing on a one-leaf orchid boat, saw Yang Huaiping, he said in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to ferry the boat, we only cross the spirits here, not the people!"

Yang Huaiping frowned slightly, he slowly walked to Qingluan's side and muttered something quietly, and then Yang Huaiping took out the blood bead coagulated by the basalt essence blood from the storage bag, and handed the blood bead to the ferryman with a gray face: "A small gift, not a tribute, please also ask the boatman!"

The ferryman waved his hand towards Yang Huaiping, "The things in your hands are good, but they are of no use to me, you better take them back!"

Yang Huaiping glanced at the ferryman, he didn't say anything and put the blood beads into the hemp bag, and then Yang Huaiping sat cross-legged on the bank of the river, and he slowly fell silent.

After a while, Yang Huaiping's Yuan Shen flew out of his body, and he slowly walked to the Lan Boat where the ferryman was.

The ferryman glanced at Yang Huaiping up and down, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he was still silent, and the ferryman inserted the penny in his hand into the water and slowly sailed the Lan Zhou into the distance.

Yang Huaiping looked at the sparkling water with many water hyacinths and the setting sun, and he casually asked the ferryman, "What day is the boatman today, how can there be so many people standing by the stream and putting lanterns!"

The ferryman held the penny while groaning and said: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and it is also the day when Shahua City is opened, we have to hurry up, otherwise as soon as Shahua City closes, young man, your soul will have nowhere to susten, and it will be miserable!"

Yang Huaiping read in the "Prajna Sutra" that the fragrance of the flower on the other side is said to have magical powers, which can evoke the memory of the deceased before his death, and is a kind of flower that wanders between heaven and hell, symbolizing the fall.

According to the picture depicted by the old man with a short stature, this Shahua City is a place beyond the Three Realms, free from the yin and yang, and the flower on the other side that Yang Huaiping is looking for is growing on the Huangquan Road in the Yin Realm of Shahua City.

While Yang Huaiping was anxious and his thoughts were chaotic, the dim sky gradually became dark, a bright moon rose into the sky, the shadow of the moon was swaying above the sparkling stream, and he saw countless lanterns flowing quietly beside the orchid boat.

Yang Huaiping looked at the bright lanterns on the green and clear stream, leisurely, calmly drifting with the flow, and his dull and nervous mood gradually calmed down.

In this quiet and beautiful atmosphere, Yang Huaiping sat cross-legged on the bow of the Mulan boat, he listened to the sound of the ferryman's penny paddling across the stream, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

Gradually moving away, when the sky was slightly bright, the ferryman parked the Lan Boat under the towering Shahua City, which was made of yellow sand.

At this time, there was a strange yellow rain in Shahua City.

The ferryman woke up Yang Huaiping, who was asleep, and he said in a deep voice: "Shahua City has arrived, the young man remembers, when it is nightfall, find a place to get the cat up, don't come out!"

Yang Huaiping nodded to the ferryman, and then he jumped off the Lanzhou and walked into Shahua City, at this time a man who looked uglier than the evil of Ke Zhen in the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan walked in front of Yang Huaiping, he looked at Yang Huaiping with a smile on his face and said: "This guest officer who came from afar, as soon as the night comes, there will be yaksha to arrest people everywhere, I think the young man should go to our small shop to avoid it, our small shop has a good private room, as well as wine, the guest officer can book it in advance, otherwise there will be no fixed place to live at that time, then it will be troublesome!"

"Excuse me, how much silver taels do you have in your store for a night?" Yang Huaiping said in a flat tone.

The ugly-looking man glanced Yang Huaiping up and down, he took out a thick stack of dark paper from his arms and said, "That's all?"

Yang Huaiping looked at the currency traded in Shahua City turned out to be dark paper, he couldn't help but gasp, and then Yang Huaiping was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't have so many silver taels on me!"

The ugly-looking man glanced at Yang Huaiping with disdain, and he snorted coldly: "Since you don't have any money, then what do you ask a poor ghost, wait to be captured by Yaksha when the time comes!"

After speaking, the ugly-looking man turned around and left without looking back, Yang Huaiping stayed in place and tidied up his hairstyle without care, he felt that earning some money for him would be like catching a king in a jar, and the cliff was nine out of ten.

Just as Yang Huaiping was thinking about which method to use to make some money, he suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

The moment Yang Huaiping turned around, a chilling figure appeared in his field of vision.

A lock of yellow-brown hair that looks like a pigtail, half a head taller than Yang Huaiping, and the turbulent waves on the chest that give people a suffocating feeling, a waist as thick as a bucket, and a big sagging buttocks, the woman dressed in pearlescent jade said in a rough voice: "Young man, although my sister sees that although you have lost a little weight, your muscles are still quite strong, and your appearance is not bad, I will follow your eldest sister and me in the future, not only will I have a place to live at that time, but also follow the eldest sister, I will ensure that you eat and drink spicy food!"

Yang Huaiping looked at such a murderous and violent woman in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva in his Adam's apple, and then Yang Huaiping's whole person was as messy as a chicken in the wind.

The woman covered in pearlescent jade looked at Yang Huaiping stunned and didn't say a word, she thought that Yang Huaiping didn't believe in her strength, so the woman with pearlescent jade took out a half-foot-thick pile of half-foot coins from the hemp yellow bag around her waist and stuffed them into Yang Huaiping's arms, and the woman with pearlescent jade said loudly: "This is a deposit, if you serve my eldest sister well......

In an instant, Yang Huaiping came back to his senses, he handed the dark coin in his arms to the pearlescent jade woman, Yang Huaiping shook his head like a rattle and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but I really can't satisfy the eldest sister like this, I'm afraid ......of blood in the urine."

As he spoke, Yang Huaiping's soles of his feet disappeared in front of the pearlescent jade woman in an instant.
