Chapter 70 The Ferryman

I don't know how long I walked, but I only knew that I was very thirsty, Gao Qingzhu swallowed his saliva, took out the kettle from his bag and drank it.

His heels hurt and even his breath began to become disordered, and he estimated that he had walked for at least three hours, but he could not reach the position of the mandala.

Gao Qingzhu was already tired, and she suddenly sat on the ground, regardless of whether the muddy road would stain her pants.

"I don't think I can go out at all, so let's save some energy." Gao Qingzhu put the bag aside and rested.

And Yan Hua on the side looked the same as before, he didn't sweat, he didn't look tired, the monster was really different from a human, not to mention that he was a stone.

Now that I think about it, I saw him sweating on the basketball court before, and I guess he was pretending.

"You said before that you met Luo Jia here?" Yan Hua frowned and asked.

"Yes, he told me to walk in the direction of the white mandala, and it didn't take long to get out." Gao Qingzhu looked at the direction of the distant mandala flower and wondered, "But this time I can't get out, it's like deliberately trapping us." ”

"It's a deliberate ......"

Yan Hua touched his chin and thought carefully, maybe there was Luo Jia there before, so Gao Qingzhu was able to go out; But this time Luo Jia is gone, and the two of them are naturally trapped on Huangquan Road, but who is the person who trapped them?

"Follow the road, and leave the mandala alone." Yan Hua proposed, "Huangquan Road will lead all the way to the Lechuan River, where you will meet a ferryman, and ask him when the time comes." ”

"You're familiar with it." Gao Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and said.

Yan Hua shrugged: "I haven't been here, but I can't help it, I'm well-informed, blame me for being too smart." ”

"Huh." With a mocking sneer, Gao Qingzhu picked up his bag and left.

Looking at her disdainful figure, Yan Hua couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, tilted her head and looked at it for a long time before finally taking a step to follow.

The road looked very long, but it didn't take long to see an endless stream of water, and the river was shrouded in white mist, mysterious and weird.

This is the Yellow Spring, the atmosphere is permeating, and even the screams of despair and sadness can be heard in the ears.

"Why can't a dead man see it?" Gao Qingzhu glanced around, dissatisfied that the Huangquan Road that connected to hell was empty, not even the ferryman Yan Hua said before, and there was not even a boat on the shore.

"If it weren't for your fear being eaten by heart, I really don't think you're normal." Yan Hua put his hands in his pockets, glanced at Gao Qingzhu with his head half-tilted, thought about it, and felt that it was still necessary to explain.

"Huangquan Road is more than that." He said.

"How?" Gao Qingzhu's curiosity was really aroused.

"Lethe River is very big, you can even understand it as the sea, there is a sea, and there is naturally more than one ferry, and the ferry you see now is only one million, or even one billionth of the Difu Lethe."

Hearing this, Gao Qingzhu didn't expect that the rumored Lechuan River was so big.

But no matter how you say it now, it is in Huangquan, and you must find a way out as soon as possible to return to Santang Forest safely.

"What about the ferryman? Didn't you say you could ask him? Seeing that the ferry was empty, Gao Qingzhu got back to the point.

"Trouble, isn't this coming?" Yan Hua pouted and walked in the direction of the ferry.

The white mist on the river was like a curtain of white veil, faintly revealing a black shadow, the white veil was removed, and a wooden boat slowly sailed from it, and on the old and dilapidated wooden boat, a figure was standing.

In Gao Qingzhu's impression, the rumored ferrymen are all old people, but the figure in front of him is clearly tall, like a prime of life, without the slightest hint of old man.

The prime man of the ship propped up the mast, rowing all the way to the shore, his movements were not fast but very neat, and in a short time he was in front of the two.

He wore a hat with black gauze on his head, and his face could not be seen clearly, and he looked capable in black.

"It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The ferryman's voice sounded clear, and he estimated that he should not be very old, but he could serve in the prefecture, and it was difficult to say how old he was.

After all, there is still an old monster more than 10,000 years old standing next to Gao Qingzhu, doesn't he also look like a young man?

"Wait for us?" Yan Hua crossed his hands on his chest and said in a dissatisfied tone, "You brought us here?" ”

The ferryman, who didn't see his face, paused for a few seconds, then nodded.

I saw that he easily jumped ashore and tied the boat, turned around and knelt down: "I need your help, so I have to bring you here." ”

This kneeling came suddenly, Gao Qingzhu and Yan Hua were shocked, they grew so big, Gao Qingzhu was the first time to meet kneeling herself, but it really tormented her, making her look like the other party's ancestors, and she couldn't accept it in her heart.

Yan Hua looked at the ferryman condescendingly, and had no intention of helping him, and the ferryman didn't even think about getting up, he still knelt on the ground, leaned over and said, "Please save Ding Anke, she remembered it all...... I remembered it all......"

His voice trembled even more, and he was about to cry when he looked at it.

Seeing this, Yan Hua beside him said in an indifferent tone: "What to do to save her?" She almost killed someone just now, so it's good if I don't go to her to settle the score. ”

Gao Qingzhu looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was stunned in his heart, what does this have to do with Ding Anke? And why did this ferryman ask himself and Yan Hua for help?

Even though there are many doubts in his heart, he still can't resist the anger that was aroused by Ding Anke, that woman wants to strangle herself, if there is no law in this world, Gao Qingzhu will definitely return it.

The ferryman struggled, seemingly guilty, but he didn't know how to ask for forgiveness, so he could only apologize vigorously.

"Get up!" Yan Hua's voice sounded dull, as if she was a little angry, "You apologize for her, but she ran away." ”

As soon as the words came out, Yan Hua seemed to think of something, her eyes sank, and her eyes became fierce: "The person who rescued her can't be you, right?" What about her now? ”

Hearing this, the ferryman's leaning body trembled, and his head seemed to be buried even lower with lead.

"Didn't you say that the man's cultivation was higher than yours? Now come and ask us to save Ding Anke, what are you going to do? Gao Qingzhu finally couldn't help it and asked Yan Hua questions.

"It's me...... borrowed the shield talisman of the underworld...... to be able to save her from your hands. Without waiting for Yan Hua to answer, the ferryman who was still kneeling spoke first.

Yan Hua still maintained his original posture, but he glanced at him slightly, and he could see how much he didn't want to see this ferryman.

Gao Qingzhu suddenly squatted down, looked at the ferryman who was still bowing his head, and asked calmly: "Then tell me, why did you find us to help you save people?" And that Ding Anke, why is it worth saving? And why save? ”

It seemed that he had asked too many questions at once, and the ferryman first brushed his thoughts before he spoke: "Because I can see the immortal energy that is abundant in you...... So you will be able to save her. ”

Immortal?

Gao Qingzhu was confused for a while, she first glanced at her body, and then turned her head and glanced at Yan Hua, who was silent, how do she look like an immortal?

Seeing Gao Qingzhu's incomprehension, Yan Hua casually explained: "I am transformed by the stones on Kunlun Immortal Mountain, so I have some fairy energy, your words ......"

He suddenly avoided the gaze that was staring at Gao Qingzhu, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly disappeared, and was not caught by Gao Qingzhu, only to hear him respond lightly to the second half of the sentence: "Your words are probably staying with me for a long time, and you have been in the past." ”

Knowing what Yan Hua meant, Gao Qingzhu asked the ferryman to continue to answer the other two questions.

The ferryman knew how to look at the eyes, and hurriedly replied: "Ding Anke, she is actually here for the mandala, and the mandala flower is the flower of hope that leads the undead back to life, so she ......"

"So what?" felt that he was a little panting when he spoke, and Gao Qingzhu's unhurried and impatient temperament began to get anxious.

"Listen to him first." Yan Hua put one hand on Gao Qingzhu's shoulder, as if he was a little interested, wanting to find out what the situation was.

The ferryman sighed and spoke eloquently.

I am not a ferryman, is the mountain god near Santang Bay, named Rongrong, when I met her was twelve years ago, that day she got lost in the forest, I sent her out, since then we know each other and love each other, she said, it is rumored that Santang Forest is a place connected to hell, if you can go to Huangquan to see the flowers on the other side, it is something she dreams of.

I don't know how she found out who I am, but I just wanted to do something for her, so I broke the rules of the underworld and brought the living in.

But who knew that when she entered the Yellow Spring, she would pick white mandalas, and the dungeon was full of scorched earth and fire, and there was only this flower field, which was the only scenery in the dungeon.

The mandala is connected to the magma deep in the underworld, and if someone picks it up, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it was my fault for not being able to stop her that day, which led to the forest fire twelve years ago.

"Now that I think about it, I was so stupid at that time, I didn't know that I was deceived by her." Rong Rong sighed.

Yan Hua didn't speak, but kept looking at the sea of flowers on the other side not far away, the "red broad sea" that was as red as blood and red as a river.

"And then?" Feeling that the other party didn't finish speaking, Gao Qingzhu wanted to know what happened next.

"Then ......" Xiangrong lowered his head again, even if he covered his face, he seemed to still be able to see his sad eyes, and only heard his gloomy voice sound, "At that time, I spent all my life cultivating together with the Mandala Flower Demon to finally control the hell rock fire flowing to the Santang Forest, for the sake of Ding Anke, I abolished her cultivation, erased her memory, and sent her out of the Santang Forest ......"

"She used to be a demon?" Yan Hua frowned, "No wonder I couldn't smell the demonic qi before, it turned out that I was abolished by you." ”

Gao Qingzhu glanced up and down at his appearance, and sneered: "So your current position as a ferryman is also due to her?" ”

The other party didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

But when it comes to this, Gao Qingzhu still doesn't understand, why does a woman who has done all the bad things want to save her? Does this dress like that woman?

The two were about to refuse, but they suddenly took off the hat, and a tattered face appeared in front of them, with a hideous face.

Like Ding Anke, it was caused by a fire burn, and the wound was so large that it was almost impossible to see his original appearance.

"This is my retribution, and it is her retribution." There was a hint of tenacity in Shang Rong's tone, and then her eyes became sharp, "She has now been captured by the mandala flower demon Chixue, and her life and death are uncertain, I hope you can rescue her." ”

"Save a woman like this, forgive us for not being able to do it." Yan Hua refused, his tone was categorical.

"We don't care what Ding Anke's purpose was for picking mandalas when she first came here, but since she has forgotten the past, why is she coming here today, twelve years later? Did she remember the past? Gao Qingzhu found the problem.

The picture of Ding Anke choking his neck before is vivid, and that skill is by no means something that an ordinary person can do.

So Gao Qingzhu guessed that she had already remembered the events of twelve years ago, and it was very likely that she had recovered her cultivation, if not all, but at least partially.

Now that I think about it, the voice of the woman who chased and killed Ding Anke before may be the mandala flower demon that Xiangrong said, Chixue.

Skipping Gao Qingzhu's question, Shang Rong's tone suddenly turned cold, and he lost his original apology: "You have no choice, if you don't save her today, no one will want to get out of Huangquan." ”

"You threaten us?" Yan Hua was furious, and the tails of his slender eyes twitched slightly.
