41. The River of the Underworld

There is no sense of falling caused by gravity when falling from a height, nor is there a sense of progress caused by walking forward against the surrounding scenery.

At this moment, there was only one feeling that pervaded Qi Wuce's spiritual sensitivity—an endless sense of distortion.

If you describe it, it is as if it has become water being pumped out of the toilet, but the human body is not liquid, which means that Qi Wuce, who is a human being, is now feeling the happiness of being liquid.

A long time had passed, and the confusion and distortion had overwhelmed Qi Wuru's senses, so much so that the biological clock in his body could not even correctly confirm the time.

I don't know how long it took, Qi Wuce woke up from his coma, and the special breath of ancient, old, and decay that only belonged to this underworld came from his nose, which made Qi Wuce's head sober up a lot.

"It smells bad, but it's better than the Sumerian underworld, which has almost nothing."

Thoughts like this flashed through his mind, and Qi Wuce, with a little sympathy for a certain goddess, stood up from the ground.

After inspecting the surroundings, Qi Wuce determined that he had come to the underworld, and as for which corner of the underworld he was in...... The exact location Qi Wuce didn't know at all, and the only landmark that allowed Qi Wuce to be sure that he was in the underworld was the river Styx that flowed not far away.

There are countless rivers in the underworld, but there are only four rivers that can be named "Styx" and become famous, namely:

River of the Wrath (Styx)

River of Grievance (Acheron)

Cocytus

River of Fire (Phlegethon)

In addition to the above four, there are many other rivers in the underworld that have strange effects, but most of them are branches of these four great rivers.

With the guidance of the River Styx, Qi Wuce was not confused about his location, but in order to truly confirm where to go, Qi Wuce had to first identify which River Styx in the underworld in front of him was.

Qi Wuce walked to the river, turned over his hand and took out a beaker, he bent down and used the beaker to scoop some water into the river Styx slightly, so as to prevent his limbs from coming into contact with the water of the River Styx.

Observing the river, Qi Wuce didn't want to rule out that the River Styx here was the River of Fire Churi Pulugton, after all, the River of Fire was just like his name, and what flowed in the river was not water but flames, and then ......

The river in the beaker does not emit a wail from the undead, so the possibility of lamenting the river Xetus is ruled out......

The reagent with divine nature does not react specifically in water, thus ruling out the possibility of hating River Stix......

Eventually, Qi Wuce's luck was good, and he used a feather from his warehouse to test which river in the beaker belonged to which river in the underworld it belonged to.

The Yushen River, also known as the river of resentment and distress, is also the river where the ferryman of the underworld Caron picks up guests.

I have to say that Qi Wuce's luck is very good, fortunately, the river in front of him is a very easy to identify the main river of the underworld rather than a tributary, otherwise it would not be easy to identify those tributaries.

After all, most of the tributaries of the River Styx in the underworld have strange effects that can only be known after drinking the river water in one gulp, and the more dangerous ones such as the Forgotten River Lert can erase memories, if you drink the water of this river, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After determining that the river in front of him was the Grievance River Akerong, Qi Wuce finally had the ability to continue to act.

The River Styx, known for its inability to float in the waters, is the only way for the newly arrived undead to cross the River Archeron is the ferryman of the River Styx, Charon.

As the only ferryman on the River Styx, all the deceased who wanted to cross the Akeron could not skip Charon, and Charon was not obligated to cross the river with the deceased, and every time the pole was propped up, a passenger fee was charged.

As a god who spent his days squirting money from the dead, Charon, who had been ferrying the River Styx for an unknown number of years, was rich enough to amaze anyone in the mortal world.

After all, not everyone can collect coins that can fill an entire river, and these coins are handed over to him by different people.

Yes, as a ferry man of the River Styx, most of the time Charon can collect from the deceased to cross the river is coins, after all, the underworld's hard rule for Charon is that as long as you pay the fare of coins, you must let the other party get on the boat, since you only need to pay a few coins to cross the river, then who will take the gold and silver treasures to Caron as a boat fare.

For these reasons, although the Charon River Crossing Company seems to be a very, very profitable super-large monopoly, it is actually very hard.

Even because of this kind of torture, the god Charon became extremely irritable, for example, it is not uncommon for a boat to suddenly start to bump and turn passengers down the river.

After paying the boat fare, this is still the case, as for those who do not pay the boat fare and want to take the overlord ship, the ending is naturally not much better, most of these dead people got on the boat and were not driven down by Charon in their hearts thinking that nothing would happen, and when they arrived in the middle of the river and were thrown into the river by Charon, they regretted it.

Qi Wuce's gaze seemed to see through the surface of the river in Akeron, and at the bottom of the river were countless wailing souls who wanted to go ashore.

As for where the money came from on the deceased, it is an obvious question, and the money on the deceased is naturally a burial object that goes to the grave with his body.

Meanwhile.

Nero was sitting on Charon's ship, unprepared for a sudden and violent death, and there was no official funeral, and Nero naturally had no money without funeral goods.

It's just that when His Majesty the Emperor asked Charon if he could temporarily owe money to take the boat, Charon's reply was silence, so His Majesty the Emperor happily got on the boat with Charon's silence as a tacit approval.

The underworld is allowed to enter but not to leave, so arrears of shipping fees on board are naturally equivalent to taking the overlord ship, as for Charon's acquiescence? Come on, the sinister little old man must have fantasized about the look of despair on the other man's face when he threw Nero off the boat in the middle of the river.

Looking at the novel scenery on the River Styx, Nero was so excited that he opened his mouth and began to sing.

His Majesty did not notice that the dead who were in the boat with her covered their ears and hid in the stern of the boat after she spoke, and in her excitement she thought that they were trying to give up their place in the middle of the boat to her great artist for a performance.

As for Charon at the bow of the ship, the old face under the black cloak had long been crumpled, but this crumpled face didn't seem to be angry? Judging from the raised eyebrows, Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx, seemed to be in a very happy mood.

Presumably Charon felt that the happier Nero was now, the more desperate he would be, because Charon would be happy with this impending despair?

Well, who knows? It's always hard to guess what the gods are thinking.
