Chapter 179: I can't laugh or cry
As soon as I stepped on the wooden boat, I felt that it was different from the usual wooden boats.
There is not the slightest fluctuation or drift!
The fat man and the little monk may have felt it, and as soon as they stepped on the boat, they looked at the planks under their feet and the water of the Lechuan River outside the edge of the boat, just like me.
If it's not the boat itself, it's the river buoyancy.
There is the Dead Sea in the human world, and the water salinity is particularly high, resulting in the wonder of the human body not sinking;
And the Lethe River in front of you may not be under the Dead Sea, it is as dark as ink, and you can't see anything clearly.
After we all got on the boat, a tall figure walked up to Zhong Kui and said in a muffled voice:
"Old thing, you know my rules!
Zhong Kui laughed, opened his arms and said:
"You can pick the old immortal! just leave me a pair of pants!"
The tall figure approached, and we could see his face clearly.
This is a tall, thin old man taller than me, with a wrinkled face, but a smooth and delicate skin.
His eyes were as slender as slits, his arms were so long that they hung down to his knees, his head was covered with a straw felt, and he held the rudder behind the ship with one hand and the rudder with the other.
When the ferryman heard Zhong Kui's words, his slender eyes narrowed, and he said in a strange voice:
"Okay—I've chosen, I'll want your pants!"
Zhong Kui was stunned, his old face turned red, and he scolded:
"You, you old immortal, do you really want my pants? I, I-won't give it!"
The ferryman was not happy at this time, and he stroked the penny in his hand and said:
"If you don't give it, go down! That's the rule here, I've been like this for thousands of years, don't take advantage of me just by chatting with me, hum!"
Zhong Kui was so old that he couldn't bear it anymore, and saw that we were all looking at and laughing, so he had to say stupidly:
"Okay, okay, okay! I'm afraid I haven't changed my pants for years, and I don't want to be stingy if you want to be rare - I'll take them off in the cabin!"
With that, he turned and walked to the back cabin.
As soon as we lifted the curtain, we immediately found that it was actually filled with souls, and all of them had solemn and sad faces.
Think about it, this boat is leading to the Nai He Bridge, although the god Meng Po is no longer there to continue to boil the soup, but the Meng Po Temple is still there, and there should be a surplus of things.
The old man who ferryman turned his face and saw Zhong Kui walking into the cabin, immediately licked his mouth, and then put his eyes on Meng Poshen, and said strangely:
"Then you're welcome, now pick on?"
He didn't call out the name of the god Meng Po, probably because he was afraid that the souls in the cabin would hear about it and cause unnecessary trouble.
Meng Po opened her arms in the same way as Zhong Kui, and said with a gentle smile:
"Please!"
The ferryman probably didn't dare to be presumptuous, and his eyes only swept around her waist, and then pointed to a purse and said:
"I'll just want it!"
Meng Poshen nodded, took off the purse casually and handed it over, and said in a manly voice:
"This is made by a girl in my hall, using bamboo leaves outside the hall and flower stems on the other side, not wet, and it will melt as soon as it is wet!"
The ferryman had an old face and said with a smile:
"That's that! I'll hang it in the cabin in the future, and I'll take a look at it—"
When he said this, he saw a group of people suddenly rushing to the shore, and one of them beckoned:
"God waits, we have to go downstream, it's convenient to work hard!"
The ferryman listened to the penny's light, and the hull of the ship immediately went off the shore, and he shouted:
"Don't wait for the time, wait for the next trip!"
The group on the shore was so angry when they saw this that they didn't dare to scold out loud, so they had to stand still and sigh.
We saw a little strange, and when we went to Hashimoto, we drank Meng Po soup and entered reincarnation.
How can you see that their expressions are not happy that they have not caught the ship!
However, the ferryman did not explain to us, but turned his face to look at the fat man on the side.
The fat man had been staying by the edge of the boat since he got on the boat, and together with the little monk, he watched curiously as the boat went down into the river, and the two of them stared intently, as if there was some treasure there.
"Ahem-that little fatty, that's you!"
The ferryman pointed at the fat man and said, "Come here, it's time to pay for the boat!"
The fat man immediately put on a smile, approached him flatteringly, lifted his clothes and said:
"Hello grandpa, you can pick whatever you want!"
I heard him deliberately suppress his voice and pretend to be a child, and I couldn't help but laugh to myself.
This foodie should want to use the trick of coquettishness, so as to avoid the embarrassment.
But the next moment, I saw the ferryman's old face pulled, like the sole of a shoe, smelly and hard, he said:
"Don't get close to me, grandpa, I've been ferrying here for thousands of years, which one is not my junior? I want that thing around your neck!"
The fat man was expecting him to receive special care, but when he heard it, he couldn't help but say with a bitter face:
"This, this is from my daughter-in-law who has never passed through the door! Brother Li Wei said something, this is the mobile phone that Tian Tian personally selected!"
I shrugged and said:
"What are you afraid of! When you go back in the future, let her buy you another one, the mobile phone is not a big deal, it's a big deal that my brother will give you money then!"
Maybe the fat man was waiting for my words, and immediately took off the mobile phone around his neck with a smile and put it in the ferryman's hand without pity.
I looked at him and immediately said depressedly, could it be that this thing was just loaded? Look at his appearance of not caring at all...... Oh no, it's a trick!
Seeing that my face was not good, Heavenly Master Zhang smiled and comforted:
"Forget the stupid hat! the fat guy was born and died with you, so it should be the salary for this trip to the underworld, right?"
My eyes lit up when I heard this, and I immediately laughed:
"Yes, yes, yes, the fat man remembers, the next time the money will be your salary plus compensation, don't ask me for it again!"
The fat man was originally very happy, but when he heard Heavenly Master Zhang Zhi's move, he immediately darkened his face and complained in a low voice:
"It's really elbows inward, and before the door has passed, the two of them are wearing a pair of pants!
I don't care about his complaints, I just feel a little unusual that Heavenly Master Zhang can actually help me speak.
The ferryman only glanced at the phone after taking it, and then casually put it in his pocket and was done.
When the little monk saw that the fat man had already paid for the boat, he automatically stepped forward without waiting for him to ask again, and saluted with his palms together:
"Seniors, please pick!"
The ferryman may have been quite satisfied with the little monk, so he swept him casually, and then said:
"Your doll has an extraordinary temperament, and I am not difficult for you, the Buddha beads on your wrist look like a magic weapon, and I can't use it, so I can use it - just exchange it for something hanging around your neck!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the little monk's face change.
Not good!
That's a Buddha's finger relic, a treasure in the human world!
At this moment, my face also changed, and my heart quickly thought of countermeasures.
The embarrassment on the little monk's face, the ferryman immediately saw it in his eyes, and he said with an old face:
"Why—you don't want to?"
I saw that the atmosphere was tense, and I was about to ask Meng Po or Zhong Kui to open his mouth to ease up, but I saw that the little monk's face suddenly relaxed, and he actually took off the Buddha's finger relics and handed them over.
I was so scared that one Buddha was born, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven!
I don't need to say much about the preciousness of this thing, and if we empty the contents of our cloth bag, I'm afraid it won't be worth a fraction of it.
The relics of the flesh of the Lord of the Buddha in the West!
This is a treasure that even the ancient gods coveted, it is comparable to the Haotian Mirror in my hand and the demon slaying sword in the hand of Heavenly Master Zhang!
But before I could stop it, I saw the ferryman's eyes open suddenly, staring at the Buddha's finger relics glowing with milky white divine light, and he didn't speak for a long time.
At this time, Zhong Kui finally came out of the cabin with a black cloth.
When he saw what the little monk handed out, his eyes widened and he said:
"Oh! this ...... Isn't this thing - old immortal, you dare to ask for this thing?"
God Meng Po was also attracted, her eyes were full of light, and she muttered:
"It's been a long time, and it's still so—it's calming. ”
It wasn't until Zhong Kui urged again and again that the ferryman came out of the shock of the Buddha's finger relics, and he swallowed his saliva and said:
"Boy, boy, would you really like to give me this thing?"
The little monk's eyes were clear, and he said crisply:
"Yes! Even if the seniors like to take it, although it is extremely precious in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not worth mentioning compared to what the younger generations want to do!"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood what he was saying.
We are going to the Temple of the Underworld on this trip to return the Book of Life and Death to its original place, for the sake of the stability of the two worlds of man and ghost!
Compared with the dead object "Buddha refers to relics", this action is really not the same as the person involved. If I had to choose, I would most likely give it away.
After listening to the little monk's words, the ferryman's eyes were shocked, and then he fell into deep thought.
But Zhong Kui tried his best to lower his voice and said:
According to what I saw and heard in the human world before my death, this thing should only be a relic of the Arhat Bodhisattva! You have to think clearly!
But the little monk said amazingly:
"This is the Buddha's left finger - the index finger Buddha bone relic!"
"Phew!!"
Zhong Kui and the ferryman gasped in unison, and they couldn't even move their eyes.
After a long while, the ferryman finally closed his eyes and said quickly:
"Quick—put it away! The temptation is too great, I can't stand it! For thousands of years, today's boat money is the most exciting!"
Zhong Kui hurriedly stepped over, and just wanted to use the pants in his hand to cover the relics, but it was inappropriate to think about it, so he had to grab the little monk's hand and stuff it back, and said in his mouth:
"Put it away! This thing can buy the entire underworld, and it will be made in your backyard! My mother, you little doll's elder is really - just let you take it out? Who do you give it to, no one dares to ask for it!"
Zhong Kui has a point.
The relics of the Buddha Lord are comparable to the magic weapons given by the Three Qingdao Venerables, and they are simply the top magic weapons of the Three Realms.
Although the underworld belongs to the Netherworld, it also belongs to the scope of the Three Realms, and is also subject to the Heavenly Realm.
And the Buddha Lord is a great power at the level of a heavenly saint, who dares to occupy his relics?
But then again, if the Heavenly Evil is here, with his courage and courage, he may really dare to ask for it!
Thinking of this, I also hurriedly asked the little monk to put away the relics, so as not to really attract heavenly evil.
After this rather terrifying and shocking farce, the ferryman actually took the initiative to waive the little monk's boat money, which made everyone take it for granted.
Joke, he is going to take the Buddha's finger relics as boat money, so where will the face of the Western Buddha be placed!
In the end, the ferryman set his eyes on me, Heavenly Master Zhang, and the generals.
The generals first realized and took the initiative to step forward:
"You can do whatever you want! It's better to take Lao Tzu's life!"
I couldn't laugh when I heard it, this is really more than a side, and the Lethe ferryman is afraid that he will be deflated again this time.
