Chapter 119: Illusory Realm
"Don't try to fool me in this way...... Although I miss my family, I am not a fool who does not distinguish between good and bad, and believes in both good and evil. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head, hoping that his heart would be clearer. Didn't that person just say that what he thought in his heart, what that person would become...... If you can think of nothing in your heart...... That person must be gone......
It's just that this kind of thing is easier said than done...... After all, people are mortals, who can guarantee that they have no desires and no desires for the rest of their lives?
Even if a person doesn't want glory and wealth, then he will want his family to be safe and everything will go well...... Isn't this just like him? Although he has ascended to a position above 10,000 people, he has never worried about food, clothing, and the future, but he still has his own troubles...... Man, it's really a thing full of desire.
"If you could have no desires, you wouldn't be here. ”
Won't be here?
What do you mean?
Ling Yi'an was a little confused, but he still insisted and maintained eye contact with the person in front of him. lest he become something that he thinks of in his heart while he is not paying attention...... It's not good to completely confuse his sober mind......
"If you really have no desires and no desires, just live in your side of the world, why bother here to beg me to cross the Lethe River. ”
Like, that's the truth.
Ling Yi'an's eyes began to dodge a little.
This man is too powerful to escape him with anything. He seems to be able to read minds, and he can see himself thoroughly without much effort. Ling Yi'an even felt as if he had been stripped naked, and he had no privacy of his own to keep from peeping.
"Who the hell are you? I didn't want to hurt you, I just wanted to cross the river. ”
Ling Yi'an was a little angry, he didn't understand what the purpose of the person in front of him was talking to him like this. Why is it so difficult to get through here?
"I'm the boatman here. I'm not human, though. ”
Not human?
Could that be...... Ghost?
Why do you say that, it sounds so creepy...... Ling Yi'an couldn't help but shudder, desperately wanting to calm his heart, but he found that he didn't seem to be able to do it.
"So what exactly do you want from me? ”
Trembling and asking this sentence, Yi'an couldn't help but swallow her saliva again, wanting to calm her nervous mood. Don't let him see how much he fears him.
"Do you know why the water is so muddy?"
The man did not answer Ling Yi'an's question directly, but asked this sentence in a slightly sarcastic tone.
Water......
Ling Yi'an is not a fool. Since this is not an ordinary place, it is impossible to see an ordinary river in front of you. It is even more unlikely that it will become cloudy for some ordinary, natural reasons.
Could it be that these are the corpses of people who want to cross the river......
I got goosebumps all over my body. Ling Yi'an clenched his fists, and only then did he truly realize what a dangerous situation he was in......
Perhaps, in the next second, this person will turn into a flood beast and swallow himself mercilessly.
"You still have a chance, I'll count to three, and you can leave until then. ”
Leave?
Leaving
If you leave, you shouldn't be in such a situation.
But once you leave, how can you explain to so many people...... Qingwan and Yunyou's bodies, what should they do...... Could it be that he dragged such a ruined army that was tossed by himself and returned to Tianlang sickly......
It wasn't what he wanted, but he couldn't overcome the fear in his heart.
What should I do......
"Go back, your family is still waiting for you. Aren't you newly married? Do you have to take this risk and let Chu Ning wait for you for the rest of your life? If you can go back alive, it would be fine, but if you really lost your life here, do you want her to be widowed in that cold, tasteless prince's mansion at a young age?"
The voice that came from somewhere, word by word, like chanting a scripture, disturbed his thoughts at once.
"I ......"
He opened his mouth, as if in response to the voice he had just spoken. But he only opened his mouth and did not continue.
He didn't know what he should say, he didn't know what he should do, life seemed to be pressing behind him, staring at him, hoping that he would make the slightest mistake.
"One. ”
The man began to count.
Are you going?
There is a faint tendency to move his feet. His heart was pounding, and he wanted to be like that, selfish this time...... Regardless of the life or death of the brothers outside, they fled back to Longnan and fled back to Chu Ning's side...... Raise a few children with her and live the kind of peaceful, leisurely life you want......
"II. ”
Lord, I'll wait for you to come back.
Chu Ning's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and what she said to herself when she parted.
Wait for me to come back. She said she would wait for me.
What if you can't wait......
Ling Yi'an was really difficult to choose, and his heart hurt to the point that he couldn't breathe.
However, if she really became a deserter, even if she returned to her, she would not be happy. If he puts down so many lives and just wants to live a stable life, he will be crushed to death by the spitting stars of the bright people in his next life.
What's more, how should he go to see the emperor and the relatives of those soldiers......
"I'm not leaving. ”
Before the three could be counted, Ling Yi'an took a big step forward without hesitation, and if he got a little closer, he was about to stick to the man.
"Quite a man of courage. I read that right. ”
Courage?
I guess it's a sense of responsibility.
Ling Yi'an didn't answer him, at that moment, his body seemed to be filled with courage, and the soles of his feet seemed to be full of wind, and he rushed straight to the river.
His eyes were fixed on the ship. Although it is small, it should still be enough to fit him and Qingwan and Yunyou.
What does it take to cross the river, doesn't it take a boat?" he thought, and without hesitation, he jumped off the ground under his feet and landed firmly on the board.
"Why, are you so obsessed? It's not a place where people can go. It can be said to be heaven, but it can also be hell. ”
Is it a jade?
Isn't that the land of immortals? How could it be hell?
Forget it, no matter what, anyway, I'm going to pass. It's all come this far, how can you say give up.
"Don't look at this river as it is not wide, but if you really want to cross it...... The fog in the depths of the river will disturb your mind, and you may be paddling to hell. ”
And such a thing?
But he is not afraid, he has to give it a try, and he can't say that he will give up before he has tried.
"If you have the ability, you can get a few more boats, so that I and my brethren can come up. I don't believe it, so many of us, united as one, can we still be confused by the fog? ”
"It seems that you have made up your mind, but if you really want to cross the river, you must pawn something. ”
What the?
Yi'an's eyes widened, a little incredulous.
Pawn?
Where does this begin?
"If you don't pawn, I'll see what you do to cross the river. ”
As soon as the man's voice fell, Ling Yi'an found that the pulp in his hand was gone.
???
His heart was full of doubts, and he actually ...... And such an operation?
"Then what are you going to pawn!"
He was a little angry, and even felt that this man was teasing himself from head to toe.
How can there be a reason to pawn when crossing a river? At most, a few tolls will be given, which would be considered good! But he didn't use any other words, he used pawns, and what he wanted was definitely not ordinary things.
"This is the rule, and it has been in place for tens of thousands of years, since Lethe has existed. If you don't comply, you'll be buried in Lethe," the man said, taking two steps forward and approaching Ling Yi'an's face, "but I appreciate you very much, and I can give you a back door." ”
Back door......?
What a back door.
Ling Yi'an looked at him as if he was very serious, but he always had a hunch and didn't add ...... He was even a little scared and didn't dare to answer his words.
"As long as you pawn alone, I can let you all go. ”
A one-person pawn?
Could it be that he still wants something that leaves so many people?
"You are a naked threat!"
Ling Yi'an said, his eyes widened. He was very angry, he had lived so long, and no one had ever threatened him so much. Do you really think that you are a waste wood with no ability? Ling Yi'an thought, concentrated, and got up and went ashore as soon as he raised his feet, so many years of hard work were really not in vain. His light skills, those skills are still there. Without saying a word, he dodged to the man's side, used all his strength, gathered all his essence on his fingers, and then punched the man's body fiercely.
It's also strange that the man didn't hide.
Sou.
The sound of the wind whistling in my ears was still heard.
No cries of pain were heard, except for the wind.
What's going on...... Just now, I obviously saw that I hit that person in the stomach...... It's just that there is no feeling of flesh colliding with each other when I hit someone before.
"Don't be delusional, you can't hurt me. ”
What the?
It doesn't hurt......
He fixed his gaze, and his hand went straight through the man's body...... His body, as if it were, was transparent.
There was no blood, and there were no scars.
This is probably what a real ghost would look like.
couldn't help swallowing his saliva, Ling Yi'an took a few steps back, the feeling was involuntary, even terrifying, as if he was being silently pulled by something.
