Chapter Twenty-Six: The Ferryman Again

Ling'er nodded at Li Xuyang, the baby's soul was now in a jade bottle on Ling'er's body, and Li Xuyang also promised him, as long as he kept to himself, he would send him to the underworld. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In fact, he also planned to ask the baby if he knew if there was a spirit flag or a spirit gathering flag in the place where his body was buried. After hesitating again and again, Li Xuyang still didn't ask, even if he did, the baby might not know about it.

Back in that place again, Li Xuyang didn't find any flags in there. After all, none of them had seen what the Spirit Gathering Flag looked like, and they only knew that it was a flag if they understood it literally.

Li Xuyang, who had been looking in the weeds for nearly half a day, began to sigh, if he couldn't find the Spirit Gathering Banner, then his father Li Yongan Ke would really die.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Li Xuyang returned to the place where the brick coffin exploded. Where, Lu Juxiang's broken leg has been eaten by some animal, and a few flies hovered above the bloody, but they did not fall down to suck the blood in the broken leg.

After Li Xuyang walked in, he found out. It's not that those flies don't like blood, but there are a few dead flies next to the broken leg, probably sucking the blood in the broken leg. The broken leg was bitten by the baby, and the baby was poisonous, and the fly sucked the blood of the poison, and of course died.

Therefore, after knowing that their companions had been poisoned by blood, the flies were just circling in class, but they did not dare to suck the blood from their broken legs.

When Li Xuyang was about to leave, his eyes suddenly felt a pain, and when he turned around, he found a woman covered in mud and covered in blood standing behind him.

The woman had short hair, and the blood stains almost covered her entire face, and Li Xuyang couldn't recognize her appearance. But from the outside, it looks like a car accident has just happened, and the death is still quite miserable.

"Who are you?" asked Li Xuyang after seeing her.

"Can you see me?" the woman was surprised at first, and then asked Li Xuyang.

"I can. From the moment his eyes signaled pain, he knew that this woman was not a human, but a ghost.

"I came to see my Xiaobao, for a few years, I haven't been reincarnated, I just want to see how my Xiaobao is. The woman said, with a miserable and sad expression.

"Xiaobao?" Li Xuyang didn't know the name, but it was not difficult to guess that the Xiaobao she was talking about should be the baby in the jade bottle on Ling'er's body.

"Yes, our family of three went out that day, but unexpectedly there was a car accident. When I woke up, I was in the hospital, and I could see my body lying there. From that moment I knew that I was dead, but I couldn't see my child for a long time, and I began to worry. The woman said, wiping the corners of her eyes with her hands, but found that there were no tears.

"What happened later?" asked Li Xuyang.

"After that, I kept looking for my son, but in the end I found nothing. My husband didn't know where he went, and when my soul returned home, he found my body standing in my house. And my son's body is also at home. ā€

"I didn't know what was going on, so I followed myself, but I saw her holding my son's body and burying him here. I was very sad, I didn't know that my son would die a tragic death, but it was useless to be sad. After seeing my son buried, I was a lot more relieved.

So I wanted to go to reincarnation with my son's soul, but I waited here for several years, but I didn't find my son's soul coming out of the brick coffin.

Only now did I understand what exactly was going on. After I died, another spirit took possession of my body, and then used my identity to take my son, thus using my son to breed a youkai to help that person do evil. ā€

So far, Li Xuyang has completely figured it out. What the baby said was much the same as him, but what the baby didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes watching him after he died, and a figure had been guarding him.

"Don't worry, your son is fine, and all the resentment in him has dissipated. After a while, I will send him to the underworld so that he can be reincarnated as soon as possible. Li Xuyang said to the woman.

"Really, thank you, benefactor. As the woman spoke, she wanted to kneel down for Li Xuyang, but was stopped by him and said, "No thanks, this is what we should do for the funeral." ā€

"You're a mourner?" the woman was surprised again.

"Yes, you know?" Li Xuyang was also surprised, could it be that the mourners were already known to humans?

"Nope. The woman shook her head and continued, "You know, I've been here for three years, and I've been being chased for three years. They seemed to be ferrymen, and they wanted to get me back, but I didn't see my son, and I was not at ease, so I hid in the dead fox carcass. Foxes have a smell, and the smell of its body just suppressed the smell of death on my body, so I escaped. ā€

"But, I heard this conversation from the mouths of their ferrymen. That night, as usual, I was standing by my son's grave, but I heard the sound of a motor from far to near, and I was afraid and hid. ā€

"When Matsune arrived, two people got out of the car, and they were dressed the same. But with guns in their hands, I thought they were police officers at first, but later I learned that they were ferrymen. One of them was tall and the other was short, and when they came here, they started such a conversation. ā€

The dwarf ferryman was holding what looked like an IPD, and on it was a map, and on the map a red dot was flashing, showing the geographical location, which was where they were.

"Well, this is indeed the place, how can there be no soul?" said the dwarf, looking at the red dot flashing on the screen, to the tall ferryman.

"Are you hiding? Look around. With that, the tall man loaded his gun and began to search around.

But more than ten minutes passed, and they didn't find anything suspicious. At that time, Xiaobao's body in the brick coffin was dead, and his soul was also asleep, so there was no death. The two ferrymen didn't know that there was another soul in the brick coffin.

"Damn, is the system malfunctioning? Wrong location?" muttered the dwarf as he began to suspect the thing he was holding.

"Forget it, since there isn't, that's the fault of this thing. The tall man glanced at the object in the dwarf's hand and said.

"It's really weird. The dwarf said reluctantly.

"Alas, yes. Do you know the mourners? I heard that they seem to have been doing something lately, as if they were looking for something. The dwarf put away the IPD and said to the tall man.

"Hmm. The tall man nodded, and said, "I've heard, just a funeral man, can he resist so many of our ferrymen? ā€

"Yes, yes, hehe. The dwarf said with a smile. "A good tiger can't stand up to many wolves, let alone him. ā€

"Alright, let's go, we are already at odds with the mourner, let alone let him ruin our good deeds, continue to look for ghosts, and a thousand souls, we will have collected them." After the tall man said to the short man, he went back to the place, got in the car, and left.

Back to the present, Li Xuyang suddenly began to have doubts after hearing the woman's story. It also reminded him of what Bai Wuchang met in the hospital when Jiang Botong was hospitalized and said to him. and when the upper part sent Wang Chengxin to the underworld, he met Cui Yu's anxious expression.

Does the disappearance of the ghosts have anything to do with their ferryman? Especially when one of the tall men said at the end, "There are 1,000 more souls, and we're done." "If it doesn't matter, then what are they collecting souls for? How many souls does the ferryman have to hand over every year, and what is the fixed number? It is estimated that in this case, it is to kill Li Xuyang, he doesn't believe it.

To die or not to die, to live long or short. This is not something that the ferryman can control, and if he can't, how can they accomplish the goal set by their superiors?

If this is not the case, then what do those ferrymen want so many souls for? This must be related to the ghost disappearance case, after thinking about all this, Li Xuyang also plans to explain these things to Bai Wuchang when he goes to the underworld next time, so that they can beware of the ferryman.

"Some people live long lives, not because they do a lot of good deeds, but because they know how to keep their mouths shut. ā€

Just when Li Xuyang was thinking about all this, a voice suddenly came from the grass, looking at the source of the sound. I saw a tall man with a pistol in his hand, walking out of nowhere.

And the muzzle was not aimed at Li Xuyang, but at the woman.

When the woman saw the visitor again, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to speak, and when she saw the muzzle of the gun pointed at her, she was even more frightened and retreated.

After Li Xuyang saw him, his eyes began to become sharp, this person should be the tall ferryman that the woman said.

"You're a ferryman?"

"Yes, the contemptible surname is Wu Mingming. The tall man smiled sinisterly, looked at Li Xuyang and replied.

"Wu Ming?"

"Because the ghosts that meet me will be scattered, so everyone named me Wu Ming. You're the mourner, aren't you? Well, you look so bad about me. Wu Ming said, his head shook slightly, and the bangs in front of his forehead also deviated slightly.

"What are you doing with souls?"

"It's not about you. ā€

"What do you want to do to her?" Li Xuyang said, looking at the woman. But Wu Ming was still dressed arrogantly, looked at the muzzle of the gun in his hand, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
