Chapter 304: The Styx Ferryman
Long Yin was stunned, he was still behind him just now, how could he suddenly disappear, he looked forward, and saw those white crows landing on the bare branches on the side again, staring at him in unison, "quack, quack" non-stop.
Long Yin was strange, suddenly turned around, and was stunned for a moment, only to see that there was no longer a figure of the man in the cloth on the river, only a canopy boat stopped by the river, he looked down, hurriedly took a few steps back, and saw that the man in the cloth was already standing in front of him, looking up at himself, although he was only seven or eight feet tall, less than his calf, but his face was extremely terrifying.
I saw that his face was thin and yellow, I couldn't tell whether he was an old man or a middle-aged man, his eyes were all gray, as if he had no pupils, his nostrils turned out, he was grinning at himself, his teeth were exposed, uneven, and extremely terrifying.
Long Yin calmed down, shrunk his body, and became a normal size, as tall as the man, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the man's eyes, and the man laughed and said: "Young man, you don't have to try, I'm not blind, otherwise how could I call you just now, and you don't have to be afraid, your eyes are on your nose, and the ugliness is half a pound or eight taels of mine, neither of us has to say anyone." ”
Long Yin smiled embarrassedly, he didn't know how old this person was compared to himself, so he pointed to the white crow on the trunk behind him, and asked directly: "This old man, you helped me get rid of those white crows?"
The man smiled, "Naturally." ”
Long Yin hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you uncle for saving your life." ”
The man smiled and said, "No thanks, let's get on the boat!"
Long Yin looked at him, and then looked at the white crow behind him, this person was strange, he hadn't figured out the number of ways, he really didn't want to get on the boat, but if he didn't go up, the countless white crows would entangle himself again, and after thinking about it for a while, he stepped into the boat.
The danger in front of him was uncertain, but the danger behind him was obvious, and he chose the former.
"Quack, quack!"
When the white crows in the trees saw him get into the boat, they were so angry that they could not stop chirping, but none of them dared to pounce.
The man smiled and stretched out his hand, and a white crow flew and landed on the oar in his hand, and the white crow stared at Long Yin viciously.
Long Yin was already standing at the bow of the boat at this time, and was shocked when he saw this: "You are in the same group as this white crow?!"
The man smiled, his withered yellow face and exposed teeth looked even more terrifying, and said, "Little brother, you don't have to be afraid, with me, they can't hurt you!"
Long Yin stared at the white crow tightly, and the white crow also stared at him, both sides were very unfriendly, after a long time, Long Yin saw that he never made a move, so he put his mind at ease and said to the man: "Thank you for saving me!"
The man said: "What old man is not old man, I am just an ordinary Styx ferryman, little brother, where are you going?"
"Styx, you mean this is the Styx?" asked Long Yin.
The man smiled and said, "It's the River Styx, you came from the front of the Pangea Continent, naturally I don't know?"
Long Yin was surprised: "How does the old man know that I am from the front of the Pangu Continent?"
The man smiled and said, "I am the ferryman of the River Styx, who doesn't know you, and you happen to appear at the source of the River Styx, but you don't know me, you don't come from the East China Sea, where else can you come from?"
Long Yin was surprised, thought about it and arched his hand: "Boy Moyun, dare to ask the old man what to call him?"
The man glanced back at him, smiled again, and said, "I don't have a name, I'm just an ordinary ferryman, where is the little brother going?"
Long Yin didn't know anything about hell, and thought for a while, "Where can you go?"
The ferryman said: "This river Styx starts from the underworld of hell, flows through the underworld, the burial world, the ghost world, the underworld, and finally enters the Lingyun realm from the underworld of the reincarnation realm, forming a heavenly river, so this river of Styx flows through almost all areas of hell, and you can go anywhere." ”
Long Yin heard this information for the first time, and thought for a while: "It's the first time I came to hell, and I don't know where to go, since the old man said that you can go anywhere, then let's go to the last Lingyun Realm!"
"Hahaha......"
The ferryman suddenly stopped paddling his hands, looked up to the sky and laughed, the white crow also showed a look of disdain, Long Yin was stunned, I don't know what was going on, the ferryman smiled: "Little brother said that I laughed, although the Lingyun Realm is also a realm, but it is the place where the master lives, how can I go to the small people of my realm, it is no longer a hell, I can only send you to the Hades Pool at most!"
Long Yin was embarrassed, it was indeed the first time he had heard of the "Lingyun Realm", and when he heard this, he said, "Then let's go to the Underworld." ”
The ferryman said: "The Pool of the Underworld is in the center of the Hell, and this River Styx flows around the Hell, and finally enters the Pool of the Underworld, and the little brother can take the land route much faster than the water route!"
Long Yin looked at the white crow on the black tree on the bank of the Styx and said, "It's out of the way, I just want to visit hell." ”
The ferryman stretched out his withered yellow palm and said, "Okay, ten coins!"
Long Yin took out ten ancient coins from his body and put them in his hand, the ferryman took them and looked at them, and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't be joking, this ancient coin is not feasible in hell, you have to pay hell coins!"
"Hell Coins?" Long Yin wondered, "I don't have it, what should I do?"
When the ferryman heard this, he stopped the oar in his hand, returned the Pangu coin to Long Yin, and said with a smile: "Little brother, without the Hell Coins, I won't be able to carry you." ”
Long Yin hurriedly said: "Uncle, I just came down from the Pangu Continent, and I really don't have any Hell Coins, can I use other things to top the road?"
"Quack!"
When the white crow on the oar saw the marching box in his hand, he immediately chirped and walked around the oar, very excited, but he didn't dare to move.
The ferryman looked at the bag and said with a smile: "This thing is not easy to use, if you really want to use other objects to pay for the road, it is not impossible." He pointed at the crow and continued, "Do you know why this crow attacked you just now?"
Long Yin shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and the ferryman said: "There is a soul energy in the box in your hand, which is a rare thing in our hell, but it is enough to use it as a road item, and this box itself is also a treasure in hell, and it can be used to offset the road money." ”
"Soul energy?" Long Yin was strange, and suddenly thought of the beautiful white jade-like body, and immediately woke up and said, "You mean the person who came out of the marching box just now?"
"Exactly!" said the ferryman with a smile and a nod.
"That's not good, that's my friend!" Long Yin cut through the railroad and hurriedly put away the marching box and put it in the Qiankun bag, which provoked the white crow to be angry and scream wildly.
"Well, since the little brother doesn't want to, then give me your box!" said the ferryman.
Long Yin said: "That's not going to work!"
The marching box is a space treasure, and the reason why it is precious in hell is because all such treasures are intercepted from a section of the Pangu Continent as a secret realm, and this is difficult to do in the hell full of depression everywhere they go, so when the five ghosts saw the space treasure box of Wangyin, their eyes were bright, and they wanted to change it in their hands.
But at this time, Long Yin's marching box could never be given to the ferryman, not to mention that this treasure box was given to him by Master Li Taibai, just to say that there were many sunfish clan soldiers in it, he couldn't give it.
When the ferryman heard him refuse, he smiled, his bare teeth were even more terrifying, and said, "Then I'm sorry little brother, I can only ask you to get off the boat!"
"Quack!"
The white crow on the oar immediately screamed excitedly when he heard this.
"Whoa!"
There was a commotion on the shore, and a large flock of white crows flew in from a distance, landing on the bare tree trunks, staring at Long Yin.
Long Yin frowned, this can't go down, if you go down, you will die, these white crows have no interest in themselves, but if he wants to give them the beautiful sun as food, then he can't do it.
Long Yin pondered and meditated, he didn't know what to do, the ferryman was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It's very tangled, right, it's okay, I don't have any business anyway, just wait for you to decide." ”
Long Yin glanced at him, and suddenly thought of the clansmen who failed to cultivate the Demon Sutra in the marching box, those people's souls exploded, and the energy did not dissipate, so they should still be in the marching box, he thought of this, his eyes lit up, and he said to the ferryman: "Uncle, do you only need soul energy?"
The ferryman nodded, "Not bad!"
Long Yin was overjoyed, hurriedly took out the marching box, opened the lid, and was just about to put his hand in, but he heard Mei Jiaoyang's shout: "Get out, men don't have a good thing!"
The white crow was very excited, and "quack, quack" kept calling.
Long Yin rushed to the marching box and said, "You don't have to come out!" After saying that, he reached in, grasped the void, took it out again, and put it in front of the ferryman and opened it, only to see pale yellow points of light flashing in the palm of his hand, like a group of fireflies flying above the palm.
"Quack!"
The white crow was overjoyed, hurriedly flew up from the oar's head, stood on the ferryman's shoulder, pecked the light one by one, and immediately closed his eyes contentedly, as if he was enjoying it very much.
When he opened his eyes again, Long Yin was startled, only to see that the white crow's eyes were no longer pure white, but had a withered yellow pupil.
"This ...... What's going on?" Long Yin said in surprise.
The ferryman laughed and said, "Yes, my white crow thinks it's very good, this soul energy can cover the road, but this is far from enough!"
"Your white crow?" Long Yin wondered, "You raised this white crow?"
The ferryman smiled: "Yes, I raised them, they rely on soul energy to maintain themselves, but unfortunately since the passage on the front and back of the Pangu Continent was closed, they haven't tasted the taste of fresh souls for a long time!"
Long Yin looked at the white crow who looked like he was enjoying it, and said in horror in his heart: "I'm on the thief ship!"
But now there is no way, it seems that he has been hijacked by this ferryman, so he has to say: "Yes, there is!"
