"Netherworld?" Lin Chen had already heard Qi Hua's introduction along the way.

Against the river, it has long been unsuitable for boating. But where the big river is, the north and south of the river need to communicate. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the people, several barely traversable places have been found on the river, and Netherworld Crossing is one of them.

Unlike several other ferries, Nether Ferry is a ferry that has existed since ancient times. After the formation of the reverse river, this ferry port is still available, and not only is it available, but there are many strange things to do here. As a result, few people dare to cross the river from here.

When it comes to the Netherworld, Lin Chen naturally thinks of the legends about ghosts and gods in China for thousands of years.

The Netherworld, the place where evil spirits are suppressed in the underworld, is often referred to as hell.

Although in the new era, people have long abandoned feudal superstitions, but those legends of gods and ghosts are still passed down through word of mouth. And Lin Chen, when he was a child, naturally he didn't listen to old people tell ghost stories.

Lin Chen's parents like to tell two stories with ghosts and gods before Lin Chen goes to bed, and finally add a sentence that if you don't sleep well, you will let the ghost take you away at night. This also caused Lin Chen to be extremely afraid of the dark when he was a child.

Although he grew up, Lin Chen was no longer afraid of these things. But the experience of this time, especially that dream, let Lin Chen know that the mythological era in China is not entirely people's imagination, so whether the ghost world is real again.

The little blind man's answer to Lin Chen was also very simple, and he understood it himself.

Therefore, Lin Chen is also full of interest in the appearance of a ghostly and god-like underworld in this world.

Naturally, there are ferrymen in the Netherworld, and as one of the few ferries that have been preserved today, the Netherworld Ferry has also gathered a lot of people to settle here.

But what really makes this place famous is not ferrying, but sorcery. It is precisely because of the weirdness of the evil art that this place has become a place that even Shang Guo does not want to interfere with.

This is also the reason why Lin Chen and Qi Hua did not hesitate to take a detour for five more days. However, it may be the opposite of ordinary people, others detour to bypass this ferry, and they detour to this ferry.

Originally, it was not too far from Nanshan to the imperial capital, and there was also a ferry called Anaconda in the south of the imperial capital, which only took three days to reach. After the ferry and further north, it is only a five-day journey to reach the imperial capital.

However, the two of them didn't dare to cross the river directly from the anaconda, it was estimated that there was already a bright post and a secret sentry, so they were waiting for Lin Chen and Qi Hua to jump into the pit.

And Meng Qingwu led the villagers to cross the river directly from Gujing Village using the ice road, and if you take the straight road, you will reach the imperial capital in about six to seven days.

However, due to the fact that there are many elderly people and children among the villagers, it is estimated that the road will be slower, but it should be able to arrive in more than ten days, of course, this is Lin Chen's estimation on the premise that the prince's people did not intervene. But no matter how they calculated, they couldn't get to the imperial capital before the news came back, so Lin Chen was still a little worried about this.

But what Lin Chen didn't know was that on the third day when Meng Qingwu led the villagers to hurry, he met someone who came out of the imperial capital all the way. Since then, a group of villagers have changed their direction and are getting farther and farther away from the imperial capital, including Dream Light Dance.

"How is it?, dare to go in?" Qi Hua looked at Lin Chen's expression and asked.

Lin Chen looked at the Netherworld from afar, and he always felt weird. Especially the village in front of the ferry, there is a ghostly feeling.

"I dare to jump on a cliff of several hundred meters, and I am afraid of a ferry, joke. Lin Chen said indifferently, and then continued on his way.

But both of them inadvertently slowed down.

The road leads all the way to the village in front of the ferry, and to reach the ferry from the main road, you must enter the village.

Feeling the ghostly aura emanating from the village, Lin Chen originally thought that he was busy on the road, and it was better to have more than one thing to do, so it was better to take a detour and go directly to the ferry. But the little blind man went to explore and found that the village was in a semicircle, wrapping the ferry in the center.

In desperation, Lin Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet.

A few hundred meters away from the entrance of the village, there is a huge stone erected on the side of the road, and three bright red characters are carved on the stone. The characters look very quaint and weird, and the font is twisted and twisted, not very easy to read.

"Quiet... Dark... Lin Chen carefully recognized it for a while before he read out the three words. However, after reading these three words, I couldn't help but tremble.

Is there a saying about the underworld in this world? I've never heard of it before.

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Qi Hua's face again, obviously twitching, and then asked, "Do you know the Netherworld?"

"Where the dead stay, there's nothing to know. Qi Hua replied casually.

Looking at Qi Hua's casual appearance, Lin Chen guessed that this matter should not be a secret in this world, so he wanted to set Qi Hua's words.

"Then how much do you know about the Netherworld?" Lin Chen asked seemingly casually.

Qi Hua looked at Lin Chen strangely, and then said, "You won't know if you go by yourself." ”

After speaking, Qi Hua took the lead in walking towards the village.

Lin Chen carefully recalled Qi Hua's words, only to realize that maybe his words just now were a little ambiguous, and thought that it would be better to find an opportunity to talk about these things in the future.

So he sped up two steps to keep up with Qi Hua.

After the stele, it was as if you had really entered another world. There was not a single green grass in sight everywhere, and the bare charred ground looked as if it had been burned by fire, with only a few purple-black unknown weeds.

Outside the village, a few locust trees that looked like old men in their last years were bent over their waists, watching something. When the wind blows, there is a whining sound between the branches, which adds to the eerie sound.

Wail...... Wail......

Lin Chen and Qi Hua were both startled, and several crows suddenly flew up from the locust tree and fluttered towards the direction of the village.

Lin Chen was very puzzled, although he was still some distance away from the locust tree, he really didn't notice the existence of crows just now, which was a bit unreasonable.

Lin Chen tightened his collar, feeling that since entering this netherworld, it seemed to be a little inexplicably cold.

Just as Lin Chen was about to enter the village, a crisp bell rang.

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ......" A group of people walked out of the village and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Seeing this group of people, Lin Chen's original intention of asking a question was instantly dispelled. I caught up with someone at the funeral.

The group was dressed in white, and the clothes were fashionably attached to a one-piece hat with a pointed tip, and white straps were tied around the cuffs, waist, and legs of the clothes.

The person walking at the front held a tall pole with a paper curtain hanging from it. And the shape of this paper curtain made Lin Chen directly believe that this was the spirit flag.

Followed by four people carrying a coffin, the coffin was brown and black, but it was very similar to the crooked old locust trees at the entrance of the village, but Lin Chen guessed that it should not be made by locust trees, because locust trees, also known as ghost trees, are too evil and too unlucky to bury people.

Lin Chen felt that even a layman like himself understood the truth, and the owner of the coffin shop should not understand it.

There was also a man next to the coffin, holding a bell, and shaking it every few steps. Moreover, this person was also the only one in the group who walked with his head up, so Lin Chen looked at him twice.

White cheeks, godless eyes, and a goatee that is not too long.

After the coffin, followed by some people holding paper dolls and paper flower baskets. At a cursory glance, there are at least a dozen of them.

Seeing such a lineup, Lin Chen thought to himself, it seems that the person in this coffin can be regarded as a person with a head and a face, but how can it feel weird.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Chen realized that something was strange.

It's quiet! Except for the ringtone, there is almost no sound at all.

Lin Chenda grew up in the countryside when he was a child, and he has seen a lot of funerals, but no one is blowing and blowing when he goes out of the funeral. Even if there is no such etiquette in this world, it will not be without crying at all.

Listening to the ringing that was getting closer and closer, Lin Chen and Qi Hua hurriedly hid to the side and lowered their heads. Blocking the path of the dead, the two of them don't have the courage to do so.

When a group of people passed by Lin Chen, Lin Chen couldn't help but glance at the coffin. After all, after coming to this world, I have seen many dead people, but the coffin is the first time I have seen it, and my curiosity is haunted at the moment.

But the moment Lin Chen raised his head, the bell rang again. Next, Lin Chen felt that his head was very heavy, and he couldn't help but follow the back of the team step by step.

At this time, Lin Chen's eyes could clearly see everything around him, but he just couldn't control his legs. This feeling is very similar to that day when Bai Feng was possessed on the Empty Pure Mountain, but his consciousness was much more blurred than then.

They hadn't gone far before the team made a circle and headed towards the village.
