Chapter 126: The Boat Bearer
"Ahem, ahem. With a violent cough, Ye Qing opened his eyes with difficulty, this world full of dead qi was too difficult for a cultivator like him to cultivate anger, and staying for a moment longer seemed to be asking for his life.
Ye Qing stood up from the ground with difficulty, his hand trembled, and a crisp sound appeared in this strange place, Ye Qing looked at his hand in surprise, a silver bracelet full of life was firmly attached to his hand, it was Gu Shengsheng's bracelet, a long root tendrils stretched out of the bracelet, tied to Ye Qing's wrist, and grabbed it tightly, and the bamboo shoots slowly crawled out of the bracelet.
"Grandma, you finally woke up, but you suffocated me. When Ye Qing was caught in the black hole before, Xiao Zhu took advantage of the moment when the black hole covered his breath and stretched out the roots from the bracelet, grabbed Ye Qing and rolled it in with the bracelet.
"Grandma, how did you just give the bracelet to others, fortunately they didn't pay attention to the bracelet, if we were found by those people, we would definitely be stewed in a pot. Xiao Zhu climbed along Ye Qing's arm to Ye Qing's shoulder, only to suddenly notice the weirdness of the surrounding environment.
"I'll go, Grandma, you're being killed by impermanence? Why did you get to this kind of place, let's get out quickly, it's all dead here, and we have to become those wandering ghosts after staying for a long time." The roots of the little bamboo shoot were hugged around Ye Qing's neck, Ye Qing looked at the little bamboo shoot helplessly, before he handed the little bamboo shoot to Qin Yuanfeng with the bracelet because he knew that he couldn't get out of this eternal town prison, but he didn't expect the little bamboo shoot to follow.
"Xiao Sun, this is the Eternal Prison, a place created by the Emperor of the Suppression of Evil Causes, and we may not be able to get out. Ye Qing reluctantly spoke, Xiao Zhu had already followed, and it was too late to regret it, the two of them, as the only two living people here, could only rely on each other for their lives now.
"I'll go, auntie, what's the matter, the emperor can't mess with people, we're not bad people, why do you want to lock us in?"
Before, Ye Qing was worried that the power of the demon clan would be unfavorable to him, so he put Xiao Zhu into the bracelet, Xiao Zhu didn't know why Ye Qing was locked up here, and Ye Qing didn't want to explain too much, that kind of humiliation Ye Qing really didn't want to reminisce.
Ye Qing slowly walked to the river, the river water was extremely clear, but there were no living creatures under the water, only rocks paved in the water, revealing a dead silence, Ye Qing squatted down, the anger in his hands condensed, and the silver-white vitality emerged from Ye Qing's body, which was incompatible with the dead air around here.
"Huh" Ye Qing manipulated the anger into the water, the anger was instantly corroded by the river water, and the black dead qi came out of the river water, gradually wrapping Ye Qing inside, wanting to erode the vitality in Ye Qing's body, Ye Qing frowned, withdrew from the shore, and re-entered the blood flowers, and those pitch-black dead qi lingered on the shore and no longer attacked Ye Qing.
"At the beginning of ancient times, who preached?。。。。。。? Light and dark, what is the only time? Yin and yang triad, what is the origin and what is the transformation?。。。。。。 Suddenly, a deep and terrifying voice came into the ears of Ye Qing and Xiao Sun, and a flat boat flowed down from the top of the long river in front of Ye Qing and came towards Ye Qing's location.
"I'll go, what kind of monster is this?" Xiao Zhu exclaimed, the appearance on the boat was too weird, a boatman holding a bone oar in his hand, humming an unknown long song, walked slowly, he was wearing a wide black robe, the black robe covered his face, he couldn't see the whole picture, he could only see a trace of ghostly light like a netherworld fire overflowing from the black robe, like a messenger of the region.
"Can the living get on the boat?" A voice like the Nine Shadows sounded, and the boat finally docked in front of Ye Qing, and the boatman was wearing a black robe, quietly waiting for Ye Qing and Xiao Sun's response on the shore.
"My God, aunt and grandmother, there is really impermanence to ask for your life, what should we do?" Xiao Zhu and Ye Qing stood in the sea of flowers, the blood-colored petals covered Ye Qing's legs and feet, and the strange breath echoed on the shore, making Ye Qing's heart uneasy.
"Can the living get on the boat?" the boatman spoke again, the boat was gradually drifting off the shore, as if he didn't plan to dock for too long, the ominous premonition became clearer and clearer in Ye Qing's heart, looking at the bewitching blood flowers all over the ground, Ye Qing always felt that staying here was more dangerous than going to the boat.
Ye Qing walked towards the boat with some difficulty, his body had not fully recovered, although most of the poisonous gas left by the fat had been melted by Jin Dabao's elixir, there was still some poisonous gas left in Ye Qing's body, and it could not be fully recovered for the time being.
"I'll go, Grandma, what's wrong with you? Why do you really want to go to that old ghost, it's so gloomy, can't we stay here?" Xiao Sun's voice trembled a little, and he was closer to him than the boatman or the blood flowers all over the place, at least everyone was a plant.
"No, I always feel that it is dangerous to stay here, and we can't stay here forever, we have to find a way out. Ye Qing's tone was solemn, his pace quickened, the boatman's boat had already deviated from the shore and headed towards the middle of the long river, and they might not be able to get on the boat after a while.
"Click" Ye Qing stepped and jumped onto the boat, and the boat supporter controlled the boat to slowly sail to the middle of the long river, no longer staying on the bank. Once again, the entire area has returned to its state of tranquility.
"Ah" Suddenly, there was a scream, and the small bamboo shoots wrapped around Ye Qing's neck, and the long roots pointed to the shore full of blood flowers.
"Then, what is that?" Ye Qing looked at the shore along the roots of the bamboo shoots, and then was shocked by the scene in front of him, the river water was clear, standing on the boat, Ye Qing and the three of them could clearly see the situation of the land under the blood flower.
Just under the land they stepped on just now, countless blood-colored roots were wrapped around the withered yellow bones, animal bones, and human bones, Ye Qing even saw that a few dry bones still exuded a faint fluorescence, which was a symbol of the extreme strength of the body before death, so that he could retain a trace of spirituality after so long after death, when he was sucked by the essence of the blood flower.
Xiao Zhu tightly wrapped around Ye Qing's neck, he had never been so lucky as now, if he hadn't listened to Ye Qing's words, maybe he would have ended up with those dry bones, even worse than these dry bones, and it was likely that there would not be even a trace of existence.
"The person who didn't get on the boat died, and the person who got on the boat died almost, will you die?" The voice of the boatman came out, the deep aura was terrifying, Ye Qing and Xiao Zhu just withdrew their gaze from the riverbank, and they saw the appearance of the boatman, there was a faint glow in the black robe, there were two blue flames in the hollow eye sockets, there was no trace of flesh and blood on the body, this was a white bone, the white bone slowly supported, and the cold yin qi emerged from the gap in the bones.
"Hell!" Xiao Zhu screamed, after entering here, it had already screamed twice, Xiao Zhu tightly wrapped around Ye Qing's neck, hiding behind Ye Qing, and carefully looked at the white bones in front of him.
Ye Qing also looked at it solemnly, the white bone support boat was too terrifying, not to mention that the cold and pressing cold air was constantly flowing from the body of this white bone.
"Are you going to die?" The deep eyes of the boatman stared at Ye Qing and Xiao Zhu tightly, as if to suck the two into its eye sockets, the oars in his hand glowed with cold light, the water of the long river was waveless, and the movement of the boat did not let it give birth to a trace of rippling water waves, as if the boat was part of the long river.
"We won't die!" Ye Qing took a deep breath, calmed down, and sat on the bow of the boat, the flame in the boatman's eye moved slightly, and a spark fell from his eye socket on the boat, and then rolled on the boat, like a dandelion seed, rolling to Ye Qing's feet.
Cold, the cold that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, there is a blue flame leaning against Ye Qing's feet, Ye Qing seems to be in the middle of the ice for thousands of years, this terrifying cold is not much worse than the ice lotus in the medicine forest, and even this deep cold is more terrifying than the simple biting cold of the ice lotus, Ye Qing is carrying the cold of the ghostly fire, he doesn't dare to stand up, he has a hunch, if he avoids the cold of the ghostly fire, the next moment the boat will capsize, this long river is clear and weird, it is really ominous, he doesn't want to risk falling into the long river.
"Where do you want to die?" the boatman spoke again, ignoring Ye Qing's words and speaking to himself.
"We won't die!" Ye Qing endured the cold of the ghostly fire, gritted his teeth and said again, this time the boatman seemed to hear his words, and two points of light appeared in the blue flame in his eye sockets, which appeared dazzling outside the pavilion in this blood-colored space.
"Don't you want to die?" said the rowman, no longer shaking the oars, and the boat gently docked in the middle of the river, no longer moving.
"I'll go, who wants to die, is it scary to be a ghost like you when you die?" Xiao Zhu spoke, grabbing before Ye Qing, and his sharp voice seemed to be emboldening him. The boatman ignored Xiao Zhu's abuse and continued to stare at Ye Qing.
"You are a dead man, why don't you want to die?" The boatman's tone was cold, but Ye Qing looked at the white bones in front of him in shock, and it actually saw through Ye Qing's details at a glance.
"Who are you cursing, we have told you, we live well, we don't want to die and we won't die. Xiao Zhu roared angrily, loudly, forming an echo on the surface of the river and constantly reverberating, but the roots around Ye Qing were trembling.
"Because I was born, I don't want to die. Ye Qing looked at the boat supporter and spoke slowly, he didn't know why the boatman could see his details at a glance, but now whether they can go out can be said to be in the thought of the boatholder, he must be cautious.
