Chapter 156: Styx Again
As the two spoke, they walked along the riverbank, and finally found the old woman's ferry more than ten miles away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but when crossing the river, there was an accident, the old woman was unusual, and asked Nie Chen to cross the river at ten times the price.
"Crossing the river once, you want me to live for thirty years, are you too much!" Nie Chen glared at the old woman.
The old woman sneered: "I set the rules, and I can naturally change them." Others have three years at a time, but if you want to pass, you must have thirty years. There's no negotiable unless you don't go!"
"But that's it, I can't go back if I leave you. Nie Chen snorted and replied, turned around and left. Although she didn't know how much impact her thirty years of life would have on her, this kind of gratitude for being coerced was not what she liked.
"Let's go, let's go, I'll see how you get there. When you come back to me, it will be three hundred years of yin life. The old man laughed, and seemed to be very confident in himself.
Nie Chen snorted coldly, his feet didn't stop at all, and he walked out of Baizhang in a blink of an eye. Huang Shuheng followed behind, his face was also a little ugly. But after struggling for a while, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Girl, I'm afraid we'll have to compromise. ”
Nie Chen paused: "Why? Could it be that she is the only ferryman in the entire Styx? Even so, then I don't need her, it's a big deal that I can't go." ”
"No, what if Chu Tianxiong and they chase after him?" Huang Shuheng looked worried.
Hearing Chu Tianxiong's three words, Nie Chen's heart moved: "Yes, if you don't say it, I forgot." Chu Tianxiong seems to have entered the water directly, and he didn't use this old woman to ferry, right?"
"He's naturally different. ”
"What's the difference?" Nie Chen asked.
"He is the son of the King of Chu Jiang, and he has the treasures of the Chu King's Mansion on his body, so he can naturally cross the River Styx. ”
Nie Chen blinked: "What if there are no treasures?"
"Within the River Styx, there are countless evil spirits, and without treasure to protect them, they will be torn apart in an instant. ”
"Evil ghosts?" Nie Chen's eyes rolled slightly, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, let's go back." ”
"Girl figured it out?"
Nie Chen nodded, didn't explain much, and quickly returned to the side of the River Styx.
The old woman seemed to have expected it, and when she saw Nie Chen returning, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her voice was mocking: "I was given a chance just now, but you just wanted to leave willfully." Now that I want to go over, I must pay three hundred years of yin life, otherwise I will not take you across the river!"
Nie Chen pursed his lips and glanced at the old woman: "Old lady, you think too much! I want to cross the river, but I didn't say I want to use your ferry!"
"Don't need a ferry?" the old woman was stunned.
Huang Shuheng's face also sank: "Girl, don't be rash." ”
"Rest assured, I know what to do. Nie Chen chuckled and walked straight towards the River Styx.
Huang Shuheng opened his mouth, as if he still wanted to persuade, but seeing Nie Chen's firm face, he knew that he couldn't persuade him. Sighing lightly, he followed behind Nie Chen.
The old woman's face sank: "What, you want to scare me with death?" Tell you, I have been ferrying here for many years, and this is what I am most afraid of. The evil spirits of the river, who have been suffering from hunger all year round, can I bring them food, and they will thank me!"
Nie Chen didn't answer, he had already reached the edge of the River Styx, and he was about to step in.
The old woman's eyes shrank, and there was a hint of nervousness in her heart. She didn't care about Nie Chen's life or death, but she knew that there was only one Nie Chen in the entire Yin Division, and if she really died here, she wouldn't get anything. The old woman opened her mouth, but in the end she did not make a sound, but she was thinking to herself.
"This little woman went and returned, apparently there was no other way to cross the river. She pretended to be trying to force me to make concessions to the death. My wife has been ferrying for many years, and I haven't seen any tricks, so I don't believe you really dare to go into the water!"
Huang Shuheng hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Nie Chen's sleeve: "Girl, don't be impulsive! It's a big deal, let's discuss with her and let her reduce the number of years." ”
Nie Chen shook his head, gently broke away from Huang Shuheng's arm, and stepped into the River Styx. Huang Shuheng's face turned pale, and he stretched out his hand but didn't dare to follow again.
The River Styx was cold, this was Nie Chen's first feeling. Don't dare Nie Chen's body is a lotus plant, and his tolerance to freezing far exceeds that of human monks, and this level of cold is still within the range of his bearing.
Nie Chen adapted a little, and walked towards the depths, looking at her appearance, she really planned to swim across the river.
The old woman's face became more and more gloomy, and she suddenly had a bad feeling, this Nie Chen seemed to really want to swim across the river, not to intimidate herself. This made the old woman's heart feel a little depressed, this is the fat meat to the mouth, can it not be thrown away like this.
Thinking of this, the old woman faintly regretted that she shouldn't have sat on the ground and raised the price. It's good now, not to mention thirty years of yin life, even if it's three years.
With a turn of her eyes, the old woman coughed lightly and said slowly: "Okay, for your poor girl, my old man will take a step." As long as you pay fifteen years of yin life, I will send you how to go over. You have to think about it, fifteen years is more important than the whole life. ”
"Girl, fifteen years are not long, will you come back?" Huang Shuheng shouted.
Nie Chen still didn't answer, and walked forward unhurriedly, the water of the River Styx had reached her waist.
The old woman frowned, and was about to say more, but she saw the waters of the River Styx tumbling. Countless fist-sized translucent small beasts rose from the bottom of the river one by one and pounced in the direction of Nie Chen.
"Oops, the devil smells it. If it goes on like this, let alone fifteen years, I won't get it for a year. In a hurry, the old woman didn't care about her face, and spoke to Nie Chen urgently.
"Well, I'm scared of you. You come up immediately, I just want you to live five years. You can think about it, five years for a life, that's worth it!"
Nie Chen still didn't react, just stopped, as if waiting for the arrival of the evil ghost.
The old woman frowned: "Three years, I only need three years?"
Nie Chen didn't seem to hear it at all.
"Two years, two years, right?" the old woman was really depressed.
Nie Chen still didn't react, but the little beast that the demon had turned into had already come closer.
The old woman gritted her teeth: "One last chance, I only need you for a year, and I will send you across the river!"
"No need!" Nie Chen suddenly smiled, his left hand slowly pointed, and a golden light spread out from his fingertips.
Wherever the golden light passed, the demons seemed to see the most terrible thing in the world, and fled in all directions with a scream.
But under the golden light, escaping has also become a luxury. Where the golden light passed, there seemed to be countless golden threads, binding those evil ghosts one by one, and quickly pulling towards Nie Chen's fingers. The evil ghosts struggled hard, but they couldn't do it, and after a few breaths, thousands of evil ghosts were sucked into the golden light of Nie Chen's fingers.
"This, what is this?" the old woman sat down in the cabin with straight eyes and a look of horror on her face.
