Back in the abyss, Li An went straight to the abyss, this time no longer needed the guidance of the bracelet, Li An swam to the deepest part of the black fog, which was the last black fog in the abyss.

Above the abyss, I saw a man in black standing on the edge of the cliff, looking in the direction where Li'an swam to, "Li'an, you really live up to my expectations, and only a stupid person like you can resolve their grievances, and the day of change is not far away." ”

This time, Li'an was ready to take on anything even more outlandish. "After all, it's the last resentful spirit, whether it's headless, eyeless, or earless, I have to be calm and can't be afraid!"

Through the black fog, Li An was a little surprised, and what was floating in the abyss was a tattered wooden plank, which looked like an abandoned oar.

If it weren't for the oars that were guided by the black light on the bracelet, Li'an would have thought he had made a mistake.

"Li'an, you're here. ”

Li'an, who was swimming towards the oars, was startled by the sudden sound. I saw that the black mist quickly gathered next to the oars and turned into a human form.

This is a silver-haired, but energetic old man, he is different from other resentful spirits, he is smiling as soon as he appears, he looks at Li'an, like looking at an old friend who has known him for many years.

He took out a dry tobacco pouch from his back and smoked it, because it was only a spirit, and the dry tobacco pouch was only an illusory thing, and not a single wisp of smoke could come out. He frowned, and put the tobacco pouch away again.

Li An has a black line, it seems that this old man has ignored her existence.

"Grandpa, what do you want me to do?"

"I want to smoke a cigarette, can you be satisfied?" the old man looked at Li An innocently with his eyes open and smiled, "Haha, teasing you, if you just want to smoke, how can I wait for you for so long, although I really want to smoke." ”

The corners of Li'an's mouth twitched, "Then what do you need me to do?"

"You are the daughter of Li Huanjun, well, the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to him, but they are less stable and less patient. The old man who answered the question made Li An puzzled.

Li An walked up to him, "Grandpa, do you know my father? Who are you? Aren't you from the mortal realm?"

"I am and I am not. The old man said ambiguously.

"And who are you?" said Li'an's question, which was already impatient.

The old man smiled, "Li'an, I am a mortal, but my life is much longer than that of ordinary mortals, and I was four hundred years old when I died. ”

Li An had never heard of mortals with such a long lifespan, and those who cultivated immortals could not live so long. "Why is that?"

"Because I'm the ferryman of Zeguo. The old man replied.

"Is the ferryman the boatman? Why have I never heard of a boatman who lives so long?"

"Do you know that where there is water in the world, it belongs to Zeguo, and Zeguo is an existence independent of all walks of life. In addition to inland lakes and the deep sea, there is also a body of water connected to the underworld, called Lethe. And I am the ferryman on the Lechuan River, and I am not crossing people, but human souls. ”

The old man continued, "I was originally a mortal, but because I was born in the lunar year, the moon and the sun, I can communicate with the spirits, so I became a ferryman of destiny. There is plenty of spiritual power on the Lechuan River, and I go back and forth on this river every day, and I also absorb a lot of spiritual power, so in the end, I am a human being, and I am not a human being. ”

"Even so, how did you know my father?" asked Li'an.

And the old man replied again, "Do you know that among the ferrymen on the Lechuan River, I am the shortest one?"

Li An wanted to ask something, but was shrouded in black mist from his wrist and was brought into the illusion again.

After a brief period of darkness, Li'an appeared on the surface of a rickety boat, a canoe that could only stand one person at a time.

I saw that the boatman on the boat was smoking a dry tobacco pouch, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and the boat stopped in the middle of the water.

Li An could tell that this was the appearance of Grandpa Resentful Spirit when he was young, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of open-mindedness and ease. He muttered to himself as he smoked, "The person I just sent died a really miserable death, his body was divided by five horses, and his soul was torn apart, but fortunately he was finally gathered." ”

Li An looked out of the boat, the river water under the boat was as black as ink, and what made Li An even more puzzled was that even though the sky was starry at this time, there was not even a reflection on the water, as if all light sources could be absorbed by the river water.

Listening to the sound of the water, Li An found that although the surface of the river was very calm, the bottom of the river was turbulent.

Putting away the cigarette pouch, the boatman drove the boat leisurely towards the ferry, where there stood in an orderly arrangement of various spirits, waiting to cross the Lethe River and enter the next reincarnation.

Some of them didn't know they were gone, and they could only look around with horror on their faces.

"Next"

When the boat came to the shore, the spirit of a woman came up, and although she was pale and bloodless, it was obvious that she was a dignified and beautiful lady. There is an extraordinary atmosphere in every gesture.

When she got on the boat, her tears kept falling like beads with broken threads. "Boatman, can you turn around and send me back, I still have someone to wait. ”

There are too many such situations, "Girl, please mourn for yourself, since you have passed away, you will have to go through this sooner or later." Moreover, the souls on the ship are arranged according to the time of their death, and they cannot be disrupted at will, otherwise I will be punished. ”

"Poof", the girl knelt at the feet of the boatman, "The boatman, please, my father is still a few people behind me, just a few people apart, you let me wait for him to go together, okay? My father's life is really not easy, I still have an older brother, but when I was a child, I fell into the water, and I didn't even catch the body." ”

Speaking of this, the woman's tears poured down again, "After my brother left, my father and mother gave birth to me again, but my mother went not long after giving birth to me because she missed my brother." My father pulled me up alone, but I was suffering from an incurable disease, so my father sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man. But I didn't expect that soon after I left, my father came with me, I didn't want him to walk Huangquan Road alone, I wanted to accompany him. ”

"It's pitiful, indeed, but who doesn't feel sorry for the dead here?" sighed the boatman.

The girl cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, "Boatman, I just want to accompany my father, and it can be regarded as the end of his life." Maybe my family is really like others say, there is an unlucky person. My brother was born in a lunar year, when the moon was cloudy and the sun was cloudy, people said that he was an ominous person. ”

Li An suddenly felt a pause in the rowing oars, and the boatman asked, "Are you surnamed Yin?"

Hearing this, the woman raised her head in surprise, "Boatman, how do you know my surname." ”

"And what's your brother's name?" asked the boatman again, his tone trembling slightly.

"My brother's name is Yin Han, and my name is Yin Yue. ”

Suddenly, the canoe that was driving to the middle of the water turned around and headed in the direction of the ferry again.

Yin Yue knelt down and thanked non-stop, "Thank you, but why are you willing to take the risk to help me?"

The boatman looked at her, his eyes showing mixed emotions, he thought for a moment and spoke, "Maybe it's because your brother has also been on my boat, I have a deep impression of him." ”
