138: The ferryman, the windless domain

Night, quiet.

The clouds are bleak, and they are strange again.

The three of Tianyi stepped across the cloud road with their own melancholy.

At the end of the cloud road, there is a mountain top.

The moment the three of them landed, the sea of fog and clouds behind them dispersed in an instant, leaving only the night green, swaying in the wind.

Qian Yu frowned, her thoughts flew like butterflies, but no matter how beautiful the butterfly was, it was difficult to fly across the sea.

In silence, Qian Yu glanced sideways at Tianyi, but when she saw Tianyi at this time, her eyes were far away.

There, there is a sea of water.

The sea area is vast, boundless, and the moonlight and sea are all blended together and shining.

Seeing this, Qian Yu was stunned, her face full of incredulity.

Chiba frowned, if she remembered correctly, according to their steps, they shouldn't have reached the sea so quickly.

After a little thought, Chiba came to his senses.

She turned her eyes to look behind her, and then fixed her gaze on Tianyi.

Chiba understood that the reason why they were able to see the sea so quickly must be related to the previous cloud channel.

After a moment's delay, Chiba opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Bai, is this place?"

Tianyi smiled and said lightly: "This is the Styx Sea." ”

"Ahh

Qian Yu was shocked and said in surprise, "Uncle, how did we arrive at the Stygian Sea so quickly?"

Tianyi said: "Slow, it is the soul that dwells." Fast is the strength of the soul. Only when Xu is ill can he be stable and calm in time. ”

Qian Yu was stunned for a moment, and said with tears in her eyes: "But Yu'er hopes that this time will be slower!"

Tianyi smiled: "Yu'er, are you worried that your uncle will grow old?"

Qianyu nodded tearfully.

Tianyi sighed: "People will eventually grow old, and uncle is no exception. After Rong Hua thanked him, it was just an eternal silence of mountains and rivers. ”

Qian Yu was stunned, and tears finally fell from her eyes.

She kept shaking her head, thoughts, tears, crushed in impermanence.

At this moment, Chiba spoke: "Uncle Bai, Sister Yu'er, we are here to travel, why bother to make it so heavy, as if life and death are parting?"

Hearing this, Tianyi smiled slightly and said, "Ye'er is right. ”

Immediately afterwards, Tianyi's eyes fixed on Qianyu, and then said, "Yu'er, don't you want to see Fenghai?" ”

With that, Tianyi took the lead and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

Qian Yu had red eyes and sad eyebrows, she looked at Tianyi's back in a daze, her eyes full of reluctance.

Seeing Qianyu's sad state, Qianye Yue's eyebrows sank, and she sighed secretly: "I didn't look back when I knew each other, and I sighed like water." ”

Qianye didn't persuade Qianyu, and she didn't know what to say, she only quietly accompanied Qianyu, and watched Tianyi's back with Qianyu, under the blue moon forest, gradually drifting away.

It took a while for Qianyu to calm down.

She glanced at Chiba and said lightly, "Sister Ye'er, let's go." ”

Chiba shook his head, and then chased after Tianyi with Qianyu.

Although the road down the mountain is bumpy, it is not hindered, and when the dawn first shines, the three of Tianyi have reached the foot of the mountain.

As far as the eye can see, but see the endless sea, there is no wind rising, and the waves are calm, like a flat mirror.

Qian Yu said, "Uncle, how should we cross the Stygian Sea?"

When she said this, Qianyu first looked at Tianyi, and then turned her gaze to Chiba.

Before this, Chiba had flown a reed swing with Qianyu.

Tianyi smiled and said meaningfully: "Since it is the sea, there are people who cross the sea." ”

After the words fell, Tianyi turned to look at the Stygian Sea in front of him.

Qianyu and Qianye frowned slightly, and their expressions were inexplicable.

Immediately afterwards, the two girls looked away along Tianyi's line of sight.

At this glance, only the first light was falling, reflecting the calm sea surface and washing away the lead.

The two women looked at it in a daze, and at some point, a black dot suddenly jumped up in their sight.

In a few moments, the black dot had evolved into a flat boat.

On the flat boat, there was an old man, he held the penny, his hands kept swinging, and he rowed out a lot of smoke.

Seeing this, Qianyu and Qianye's doubts became deeper, but Tianyi smiled faintly as before.

After the silence, Qianyu looked at Tianyi and said, "Uncle, is he what you call the sea crosser?"

Tianyi nodded, and didn't say anything.

Not long after, that Ye Bian boat had already landed in front of the three of Tianyi.

The old man on the flat boat, thin and craggy, holding the penny, his hands were full of cracks, and his hair was pale and curly.

He looked at the three of Tianyi with a smile and said, "The three of you want to cross the Stygian Sea?"

Qian Yu bowed his head and responded: "Yes." ”

Just as Qianyu was about to ask, Chiba, who was beside her, suddenly stepped forward.

With a solemn face, she looked at the old man and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The old man smiled indifferently and said, "I am the ferryman of the Stygian Sea. ”

"Ferryman?"

Chiba frowned, his face extremely cautious.

The old man nodded slightly and said, "I came from afar across the sea, and on the other side of the sea, the smoke and waves flowed. It is said that there are 3,000 prosperous places, singing all night long, and the red dust is all in it. ”

Hearing this, Qianye's face became even more condensed, and even Qianyu was suspicious.

In this regard, the old man seemed to disagree, his eyes fell on Tianyi, and said, "This son, are you waiting for me, the ferryman?"

As he spoke, the old man smiled.

This smile is deeply hidden, and the smile is elusive.

Tianyi said: "Old gentleman, I don't know the smoke and waves on the other side, but someone is looking for me? I don't know the prosperous three thousand on the other side, but someone is waiting for me?"

The old man was slightly stunned and fell into deep thought.

After half a ring, he spoke: "I'm just a ferryman, I don't know how to find and wait. In my world, I can only walk alone, and I can't go back. ”

As he spoke, the old man smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to cross the Stygian Sea, come on the boat." ”

Tianyi looked at Qianyu and Chiba, and then walked to the boat.

The two girls were a little late, and moved to the boat.

The old man glanced at the three of them, and then waved his penny.

The waves waved slightly, and the boat gradually sailed from the shore, farther and farther, farther and farther away.....

During the rafting, all four of them were silent.

Tianyi stood at the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, his eyes shining far away, and he didn't know what to think.

Chiyu and Chiba sat in the boat, and from time to time they would look around.

The old man was holding on to the fence in the back of the boat, and occasionally his heavy wheezing could be heard.

The flat boat travels farther and farther, and the Qianping Cui Peak has disappeared when it comes, and the scenery that enters the eye is only the boundless sea water.

Looking at the sea without waves, Chiba Na wondered: "Why is there no other wave on this sea?"

After saying that, Chiba stretched out his eyes and looked over.

At this glance, I saw that except for the slight fluctuation of the sea water around the flat boat, the rest of the sea surface was as if it was imprisoned.

At this time, the old man smiled and said, "Girl, the sea area where we are now is only a part of the Stygian Sea, called the Windless Domain. ”

"The Windless Domain?"

Qianyu and Chiba frowned, looking puzzled.

The old man bowed his head and said, "Since there is no wind, why are there waves?"

Chiba said: "Even if there is no wind, there should be sea beasts in this sea, right?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Girl, you are wrong. There are no sea beasts in the windless sea. ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused slightly, and then said, "Otherwise, how could I, old man, support such a small boat and sail in such a large sea area?"

Hearing this, Chiba did not feel the slightest relaxation from the old man's explanation, and his face became even more solemn.

Qian Yu frowned and said puzzledly: "Old man, do you know why there is no wind and no sea beasts in the windless domain?"

The old man was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and said, "This old man doesn't know." ”

Qianyu said again: "Grandpa, where are you going to cross us?"

The old man said, "It depends on where you are going." ”

Qian Yu turned his head to look at Tianyi, but saw that the latter was still standing at the bow of the boat at this time, and the whole person did not move.

She retracted her gaze, looked at the old man, and said, "Old man, we have to cross the Stygian Sea and go to the Wind Sea." ”

Hearing Qianyu's words, the old man was stunned, and his hand was stagnant for a moment.

He looked at Qian Yu with some horror and said, "Girl, the sea of wind is not as good as the sea of the underworld, there, the wind and waves are high, but it is not something that ordinary people like us can go." ”

Qianyu smiled, she was a flat person, but Chiba and her uncle were not flat people.

Seeing Qianyu smiling like this, the old man was puzzled and said, "Girl, don't think the old man talks too much, the land of wind and sea is really a place of extreme evil, you can't go!"

At this time, Chiba said: "Old man, didn't you still say that it depends on where we go?" Now we are going to Fenghai, I don't know if you will cross or not?"

"This..."

The old man was stunned and said, "The old man is just a mortal, and the girl laughed." ”

Next, the old man remained silent and only supported the boat on his own.

Before you know it, night falls, and the sea surface of the windless domain is surprisingly quiet.

At this time, the sky is full of stars, and the stars are falling and shining in the sea.

Suddenly, this windless domain made it difficult to distinguish whether it was the sea or the starry sky.

Qianyu looked forward to it, but when she saw that she was surrounded by thousands of stars, she looked at it obsessively and indulged in it.

Tianyi was still standing at the bow of the boat, and he had maintained this posture for a long time.

Chiba sat next to Qianyu, looking at the starlight, if he was in a trance, he didn't know what he was thinking.

The old man was holding the boat by himself, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and in the vicissitudes of life, there was a touch of obscure profundity.

It was quiet for a while.

For a moment, the old man holding the boat suddenly sighed: "People and white clouds inhabit, the moon shines on the shadow of the flowers." The red dust is like a dream, but it is drunk with a prosperous sheng song. ”

As he spoke, the old man looked at Tianyi, as if he was specifically talking to Tianyi.

Hearing this, Qianyu and Chiba Lian turned around from their trance, and then looked at the old man with a misty look.

At this time, Tianyi was still standing motionless at the bow of the boat.

After a while, Tianyi spoke: "Old man, you want to say that the first makeup of the red dust has no borders. The original face, crushing the nightmare impermanence, the life is unique?"

The old man didn't say anything, but his smile seemed to have responded.
