Chapter 324: The Other Side of the Styx

In the ghost world, the perennial cold ghost wind is raging, the sky here is gray all the year round, the wind here is biting cold, and it seems that the sun will never be seen, and this place is full of darkness and loneliness.

The world feels oppressive.

There is a long river in the ghost world, the name is: on the other side, this river has existed for I don't know how many thousands of years, or even longer, this river water legend will turn into ashes if any living person is contaminated, and the soul will forget the past, and the fairies and demons will lose mana and fall into illusion.

At this moment, on the other side, there are soul crossers, each of them is a straw boat, very simple formation, they have men, women and children, everyone's expression seems to be the same dead silence, is bowing their heads to repair the straw boat.

At this time, a colorful auspicious cloud landed on the horizon, and I saw a red-clothed masked woman walking down from the cloud step by step, until she came to the bank of the River Styx on the other side.

In the surging black ghostly aura, a woman in a black cloak slowly walked out, her posture was very elegant, the tumbling ghostly aura did not seem to cause her the slightest obstacle, and her exposed small lotus root arm was as crystal clear as ice carving, not stained with dust.

The person who came was Lianyu who came in a hurry, and the two little heads in her arms were probing out one by one, looking very cute.

"Master, we're on the other side of the Styx, right?" Bai Short said in a very happy mood, it can be regarded as leaving the Nine Xuan Palace, although this ghost world makes people feel uncomfortable, but the air is free.

"Yes, this is the entrance to the Ghost Realm. ”

The lotus language is like a fairy stepping on a cloud.

The eyes are awe-inspiring, and the eyelashes hang down in a half-fan-shaped elegant arc. It seems that there is a slight movement of the wind, swirling with mist and smoke, gently brushing the eyebrows, but disappearing in an instant.

"Yuyu, how are we going to get there?"

Qiuqiu suddenly spoke at this time, because he saw that the river above the river Styx was deep and cold, and there were many people crossing the river on it.

"There is a boat, and the Styx on the other side has a strange power, which no one can cross, and can only rely on the help of these soul crossers. Lianyu's face looked slightly pale under the dim sky, and he couldn't see the look under his eyes.

Bai Short opened his mouth anxiously: "Then let's go over, what are you waiting for?"

"Yes, but it is rumored that those who cross here will hide a request from the river crosser, and give him something. The corners of Lianyu's mouth slowly drew a graceful arc, and then her body was like a charm, her slender legs kicked up on the ground, and her graceful and beautiful body appeared in front of the old man's eyes like a spinning mandala flower.

"Give treasures, Qiuqiu has a lot of treasures. Qiuqiu tilted his little head and said innocently.

"Hehe, let's go and take a look first. ”

"Where do the river crossers come from and where are they going?" The old man lowered his head so that people could not see his face clearly, and asked flatly, and the voice was hoarse without any emotional ups and downs.

"From the Nine Xuan Palace, where you want to enter the master of the ghost realm, can the old man be satisfied?"

The corners of Lianyu's mouth hooked up a trace of coldness, and her evil appearance was like a goblin in the abyss, and her stunning appearance made people sink.

As soon as she landed, the eyes of the rest of the river crossers looked at her, and even the old man in front of him, who seemed to have been lowering, raised his head in an instant, it was a hideous black face, and there was a complicated smile on the corner of the old man's mouth.

"Yes, but I've been in the River Styx for many years, and it's the first time I've seen someone so interesting as a little doll. ”

The old man put aside the interwoven grass thread in his hand, spread out his hand and glanced at Lianyu, which seemed to contain something that she couldn't understand, but I don't know why Lianyu felt that although her veiled appearance was also transformed, it was definitely not as good as usual.

But it is really strange that this person who crosses the river can see through what she is thinking in her heart, and can see through all her disguises.

"The old man is also different from the average person who crosses the river. ”

She raised an evil smile, her moon-like face had some indescribable emotions, and she asked coldly.

"When you're old, I'll send you over as long as you can promise me two things. ”

The old man glanced at him indifferently, in a nonchalant tone, with an irresistible attitude.

"Hey, the old man only needs one treasure and one thing to cross the river, why do we want two, Qiuqiu has a lot of treasures. At this time, Qiuqiu was unhappy when he heard this, wagging his white tail and squinting at the cat's eyes, and retorted with a choking voice.

It's all in exchange for babies, why should you promise him anything, it's not fair!

And the old man looked isolated, but Qiuqiu noticed that although there were many people crossing the river here, the other river crossers seemed to resist the old man, and the rest of the river crossers seemed to have no soul in their eyes, as if they were the living dead, but the old man's boat was the most dilapidated.

But isn't it strange that such a dilapidated ship could float peacefully on the River Styx without crashing?

"It's always the case that you cross the river back and forth, but what I want is a request, otherwise you can ask the other river crossers if they can take you where you want to go?"

"Master, let's go see someone else's!" Bai Short's stubborn little face tightly crumpled into the shape of a meat bun, and the ten fingers of his hands kept stirring, lingering deeply in place.

He always felt that he didn't like the breath on this old man's body, and Bai Short felt that this old man had bad intentions.

"I wonder what your request is?"

Lianyu's face stiffened, and her eyes shone brightly, but it quickly subsided and spoke calmly.

"If you come to the Lord of the Ghost Realm, can you ask me about the whereabouts of a person named Yueniang?"

The old man's hoarse voice remembered again, this time it seemed to have more emotions.

"Yes. ”

Lianyu's deep and misty eyes flashed with rippling light, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and his smile became longer and longer.

It's just to find a person's whereabouts, Mei Ji is the master of the ghost world, and she controls the underworld, which records the names of all the people in the world, and it shouldn't be difficult to check her when the time comes.

"Good, good, good. ”

The old man was wearing a shabby black robe, and after hearing Lianyu's happy answer, the smile on his whole face became deeper and deeper, and the corners of his eyes were overflowing with smiles, and his eyes were shining with essence.

If Lianyu looked closely, she would see that the old man was weaving the straw boat, and the old black hand seemed to be trembling, but she didn't notice it.

"What about the second condition?"

Lianyu was really curious about what the second condition of this old man would be, because the people who crossed the river here in the Styx were strange.

When my mother was there, I told myself that among all the ferrymen in the Styx, there was a life that had existed for a long time, and if one day you were going to go to the ghost world, you would choose him when you crossed the river.

At that time, Lianyu did not understand the meaning of her mother's words, and now she saw this old man, exactly as her mother described, with a simple black robe, black skin and shining eyes, deep and bottomless, and most importantly, he was wearing a pair of straw sandals, and his forehead had a long scar that ran through the whole face.

It looks a little chilling.

"You go to the River Styx to salvage a soul. ”

The old man spoke again, his tone as cold as ever.

"You let me go into the River Styx? Do you know that if this river is polluted, it will die, and there are thousands of years of resentful spirits wandering here, and they will endure for a long time. Lianyu just shook his head, Lian Bu moved slightly, and met the old man on the grass boat, his voice was cold: .

"But you're not a mortal, you're an immortal. Besides, the old man has his own way to let you enter the Styx safely, and only you can help me find a person's soul. The old man spoke plainly, as if he had already thought of an answer, as if he was sure that Lianyu would help him.

"Whose is the soul?"

Lianyu waved her sleeves, and the pair of black pupils exuded the luster of inky gems with cunning and publicity, and the sleeves were blown up and down by the cold ghost wind. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
