Chapter 1273: Ferry
Chapter 1273 Ferry "What Someone!" Someone suddenly spoke beside him. But they couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, and everyone suddenly felt terrified, and Chu Moyin screamed in fright.
Although Xue Wen didn't call out, she was also so frightened that her face turned pale and went straight into Liang Xi's arms.
"What a fuss. The old man's voice rose again, and the smoke around the crowd dissipated.
A man with a crumbly figure in a tattered cloak stood in front of them, holding in his hand a thick wooden paddle, which I don't know how many years it had been used, and it was rotten in many places, and it looked as if it would break at any moment.
"Who are you?" Chu Chen took a step forward and protected Chu Moyin behind him.
"Me?" "Me?" the cloak moved slightly, revealing half of the face of the person inside, his face was thin and pale, as if it had been brushed with lime, and his cheeks were sunken, looking particularly terrifying, "I am the guide to another world." β
"Guide?" Chu Chen looked at Liang Xi suspiciously.
"The ferryman of Yellow Springs. Liang Xi frowned slightly and said.
The scene in front of him was very similar to the world behind the Taigu Bronze Gate when he first arrived, so Liang Xi said the first image that came to mind.
Hearing Liang Xi's words, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the person under the cloak: "You actually know." β
As he spoke, he let out a strange laugh.
After getting the other party's confirmation, Liang Xi thought about it for a while, and then understood.
The world behind the ancient bronze gate was created by the Emperor Ziwei relying on his own spiritual power, and it can be said that the world was imagined by the Emperor Ziwei.
Since it is an imaginary thing, there must be a blueprint as a reference and comparison.
According to the current scene, the river and river beach behind the Taigu Bronze Gate are designed with reference here.
"Emperor Ziwei has been here?" Liang Xi had this question in his heart.
But the ferryman interrupted his thoughts with a strange smile: "Do you need a ferry?"
"Is it okay not to?" Chu Chen asked with a frown.
"Okay, okay, this Huangquan sea is as black as ink, known as the birds can't fly, and the feathers sink when they fall, since I am kind enough to ferry you, but if you don't want to, then either stay here all the time, can't go to the other side, or just wait to be swallowed by the sea." The ferryman smiled, turned and left.
The other party's attitude made everyone stunned for a moment, they originally thought that the other party would be entangled, but they didn't expect to leave after speaking.
"Liar, I don't believe that Edgeworth can't fly. Chu Moyin pouted.
"Nope. Liang Xi shook his head, hurried a few steps to catch up with the ferryman, and stuffed a gold ingot in his hand, "We have discussed it, we want to take your ferry." β
Seeing the gold, the ferryman smiled, gave Liang Xi a thumbs up, and praised him for his eyesight.
The rest of the people looked at Liang Xi in confusion, not knowing why he did this.
"Liang Xi, is there anything strange in this?" Ning Shui saw Liang Xi's serious face, so he asked puzzled.
"Well, this wasteland is not what we can imagine, and it is safer to take his ferry. Liang Xi said.
"Since he is from the ghost world, will he be a ghost on the ferry?" Xue Wen was a little worried.
"No, it won't. Liang Xi dispelled everyone's doubts, "If my guess is correct, Huangquan Haohai is not something that people in the ghost world say can be controlled, it should be related to the god in charge of disease and death among the twelve main gods, so we'd better follow his rules." β
Since Liang Xi was so sure, everyone agreed with his words and waited quietly in place.
Ten minutes after the ferryman left, he didn't come back, Chu Moyin was a little worried about whether the other party was a liar, and a shout suddenly came through the mist.
The sound of paddling sounded regularly, and the mist seemed to be broken through by these sounds, and a small boat could be vaguely seen approaching.
When they got closer, a stunned look suddenly appeared on everyone's faces.
The boat was so different from what they had imagined.
The whole ship was a dilapidated canopy ship, the hull was riddled with holes, covered with a thick layer of slimy, rotting plants, and the sea water kept pouring into those broken holes, and the hull of the ship swayed on the surface of the sea, as if it would sink at any moment.
The small shed on the ship was also like a tattered canvas, as if a gust of wind could tear it apart.
"Such a shipβis it okay?" Xue Wen looked at Liang Xi with some concern.
"Little girl, I'm not happy when you say this, old man, I've been ferrying here for at least five thousand years, no less than ten times a day, and I have never left a soul. The ferryman paused, "If I'm right, you're still alive." β
Hearing the ferryman's words, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and the temperature around him dropped a lot.
Feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere, the ferryman waved his thin palm and said: "Little babies, don't misunderstand the old man, my task is to send the people here to the other side, every ferryman is like this, and we won't care about other things." β
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and said to himself: "Speaking of which, the old man heard the previous ferryman say, counting the date, at least it is almost 10,000 years from now, or so long ago, there were living people who asked to ferry over, haha, I am still lucky, old man, I have been dead for more than 5,000 years, and I can see living people again." β
The ferryman's speech was a little incoherent, but the words in his words caused everyone's hearts to skip a beat: "Ten thousand years ago, there was a living person who asked for a ferry?"
Liang Xi wanted to ask in more detail, but the ferryman had already beckoned them to get on the boat, so he could only put his doubts in his heart for the time being.
The boat swayed and the rotting planks creaked as they swayed as if they might break and sink at any moment.
"Old man, this, is this really going to be okay?" Chu Chen seemed to be more afraid of taking the boat, so he quickly squatted down after getting on the boat, and his face turned pale.
"No, even if there is a hurricane and tsunami, it will be fine. The ferryman kindly comforted Chu Chen.
"What! And the hurricane tsunami!" Chu Chen's face was so white that it was almost transparent.
"I don't lie to you, this is very common in the Huangquan Hao Sea, the dragons in it, the bone dragons, and some sea beasts and monsters, sometimes there will be fights, you see that there is a piece missing from the stern of the boat? It was knocked off by a one-horned strange fish two days ago. The ferryman gestured with his hand as he spoke, "That fish, its eyes are so big!"
The ferryman's arm gestured in front of him in a large circle.
"And your boat hasn't been smashed yet?" Ning Shui said with a laugh.
"Why, old man, my ship is sturdy. β
Everyone didn't believe the ferryman's words, and they all thought he was bragging, after all, the boat was too shabby.
But Liang Xi's expression was always serious, and this state was the first time he had maintained it for so long since he came to this interface.
Xue Wen came up and grabbed his arm and said, "Big brother, is there any problem?"
Holding Xue Wen's slender waist, Tang Xuan pointed to the sea and said, "I think what the ferryman said is true, look at this sea water." β
