Chapter XXXVIII

Bai Ruyi found a stone on the shore and threw it forward, and when he reached the river, the stone fell directly, and the stone with the blessing of spiritual power did not fly out even an inch.

"Sure enough, this Lethe River can't fly over. Bai Ruyi shook his head and said, "Next, I can only look for the ferry, but I don't know if the old boatman can be busy." ”

After seeing the legend of the ferryman, Bai Ruyi once asked the master this question, but the master's answer was also very simple, that is, he didn't know.

Bai Ruyi originally admired the master's erudition and knowledge, but this sentence let her know that the master was not an all-knowing and all-powerful person.

As for later, what the master said about "knowing is knowing", Bai Ruyi only thought that the master was saving his face.

Fly down the river to the lower reaches of the Lechuan River, and come to the ferry of the Lechuan River, where there is indeed a ferryman.

A small boat stayed alone at the ferry, Bai Ruyi was very worried, to the middle of the Lechuan River, the slightest wind and waves, the boat would sink.

"Uncle, I want to cross the river!" Bai Ruyi squeezed out a smile.

This is the rule of survival in the human world that Dong Xuan gave her, to greet people with a smile, especially when there is a request for others.

The ferryman didn't pay attention to Bai Ruyi, but just sat silently on the bow of the boat, as if he didn't see Bai Ruyi.

Bai Ruyi just thought that the ferryman didn't hear her words, so he raised his voice and called again.

This time, the ferryman finally made a move and raised his head, which made Bai Ruyi startled.

The ferryman's head seemed to be wrapped in only a layer of skin, not much different from a skull, and the ghostly fire in his eyes twitched from time to time, as if he was blinking.

"The living?" the ferryman's mouth opened and closed in a hoarse sound.

"Yes!" Bai Ruyi didn't hide it, "I also ask my husband to send me to the Demon Realm, which is a matter of survival in the Six Realms." ”

"The survival of the Six Realms has nothing to do with me, I only know that this boat does not cross the living. The ferryman's voice had no emotional fluctuations, which made Bai Ruyi's heart burst into flames.

But in order to be able to go to the demon world, she forcibly suppressed this anger.

Sitting down not far from the ferry, Bai Ruyi thought that if there were "guests" coming, he would see if he could get on the boat. No matter how bad it is, if you want to use force, you must also restore your spiritual power.

Bai Ruyi began to trim, and the ferryman did not say anything about Bai Ruyi's stay here, except for not crossing Bai Ruyi's accident, nor did he go ashore, but just sat there and kept a posture, as if it were a sculpture.

After recovering his spiritual power, Bai Ruyi opened his eyes and shook his spirits. In fact, during the period of her rest, she has not neglected the observation of the outside world, and it has been nearly half a day since she came here, but she still hasn't seen any ghosts coming.

Did you come to the wrong place?

Thinking of this, Bai Ruyi flew thousands of miles along the Lechuan River again, but did not see any similarities, so he had to return to the original ferry.

"Uncle, please take me across the river!" Bai Ruyi said to the ferryman again.

"Don't cross the living!" This time, the ferryman's answer was more succinct,

"Do you believe it or not, I burned your broken boat?" Bai Ruyi finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and said loudly to the ferryman.

"Don't cross the living!" In the same way, Bai Ruyi felt as if the ferryman was deliberately mocking her.

"The Law of the Immortal Fox, the Fire of Ten Thousand Tribulations, the Fire of the Heavenly Tribulation Fox!"

Bai Ruyi gave an edict, and a huge fire fox appeared in the void and pounced towards the ferryman.

The ferryman finally moved, lifted the pole, and with a wave, the fire fox was instantly cut in half, and the sporadic fox fire was transferred into the Lechuan River, and in an instant, I don't know how many dead souls were buried on the fox fire, and the fox fire has a huge restraint effect on the filthy things.

"Child, don't kill innocents in vain, it will only increase your sin. The ferryman finally changed his tone.

Listening to the ferryman's words, Bai Ruyi's heart moved, "If, I say, if you don't let me get on the boat, I will put a few Heavenly Tribulation Fox Fire in the Lechuan River, then will you agree to my request?"

"No!" the ferryman said dryly, "My duty is to ferry the dead, and as for the ghosts in the Lethe River, even if they die at your hands, they are their own karma."

"Really?" Bai Ruyi's mouth showed a wicked smile, and the fire fox in the sky took shape again, ready to jump down.

Bai Ruyi could only think of this way now, she vaguely felt that that terrible dream was very likely to come true, so he didn't want to delay here.

"Well, you disperse the flames first, and I'll show you how to cross the river. The ferryman's voice softened a little.

Bai Ruyi didn't really want to kill the ghosts in the river, and when he heard that the ferryman had a way, he approached the fox fire and looked at the ferryman's skeletal face expectantly.

"If you don't cross the living, that's a rule that can't be broken!" said the ferryman, seeing that Bai Ruyi raised his hand and began to condense the fox fire again, the ferryman hurriedly added, "But you can die!"

Bai Ruyi didn't hesitate any longer, a fox fire was thrown towards the ferryman, the ferryman shook his head, opened his mouth, and swallowed the fox fire directly.

"Although I sit in the Lethe River, I am a body of chaos, and your fox fire has no effect on me. The ferryman burped after swallowing the fox fire.

Bai Ruyi glared at the ferryman fiercely, and there was no way to take the ferryman for a while, and the two of them sat opposite each other like this.

I don't know how long it took, Bai Ruyi asked, "You are so idle, why didn't you see ghosts coming to cross the river?"

"I'm a million, and everyone sees me differently. The ferryman said.

"You're a doppelganger, too?"

"Naturally, speaking of which, I don't know if my body is still on the banks of the Lethe River. There seemed to be a little more melancholy in the ferryman's voice.

This ferryman seems to be even worse than Daao, Daao just forgot what his name is, and this ferryman doesn't even know where his real body is.

"Would you like to see what this ferry port really looks like?" the ferryman seemed to be suddenly interested.

Bai Ruyi didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement.

When Bai Ruyi nodded, the ferry port was still the same ferry, and there was still only one ferryman and a small boat, but on the Lechuan River, there were countless boats crossing the river, and there were only ghosts on each boat.

On the shore, ghosts came one after another, and every ghost got on the boat, and the ferryman separated into a doppelganger, and the doubts that had plagued Bai Ruyi's heart for a long time were also solved.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar face among the ghosts.
