Chapter 153: The Ferryman
His Royal Highness Qianji left, and even Fang Kui didn't even doubt Qin Yu's identity anymore. The danger was so wonderfully resolved, and it was such a child's play, which was a result that Qin Yu had never imagined.
After they left, Qin Yu looked at Chen Sheng strangely and said, "Do they believe your nonsense?" ”
Chen Sheng sighed and said:
"If you spend hundreds or thousands of years in the underworld after you die, believe me, you will miss the years you were once alive at that time. Although these words may sound very to you now, you will not believe them, but for us, they have a different meaning. ”
Qin Yu nodded as if he didn't understand, but he didn't actually feel much.
Chen Sheng didn't have the luxury of expecting Qin Yu to understand this obsession, he was a little sad, and quickly recovered, and said: "How can I see from the previous words, it seems that you are not the only one who entered the underworld this time, and the other people are with you." ”
"Yes, a total of four of us were brought into the underworld by the Yin soldiers, and we left together when we woke up."
"And where are they now?"
"Hiding in the fog outside the town, after all, they are all people from the Yang world, and I am afraid that their yang energy will attract attention." Qin Yu said.
"Then how dare you come." Chen Sheng glanced at Qin Yu and asked.
"I don't know if you've ever heard of the Sun Avoiding Pill and the Sun Extinguishing Talisman."
"The means of the Zhengyi Sect, you have these things in your hands? Speaking of which, I still have some friendship with the twenty-third Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi Sect. ”
"Twenty-third? I met in the sun, or in the underworld. ”
"Naturally, it is the underworld, when Zhang Tianshi entered the underworld after his death, he even alarmed the ten halls of the Yama King to welcome him, this kind of treatment is only the treatment that the first Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi Sect has."
"Zhang Daoling? It is rumored that he is not full of merit and has already become an immortal, why did he come to your underworld? ”
"Become an immortal? As strong as Zhang Daoling, it is just the position of the earth immortal, and after death, it is not directly promoted to the immortal world, but to come to the underworld for several years to practice, and when the soul body is complete and can withstand the fire of heavenly thunder, it can be regarded as the unity of the original god. But even if you do this, it is not easy to become an immortal. ”
"Except for the ancient period, in the past 10,000 years, there are only a few people who have the most hope of becoming immortals, and this Daoling is one of them."
"In other words, in the end, I succeeded in ascending to immortal." Qin Yu asked uncertainly.
"That was thousands of years ago, how would I know?" Chen Sheng shook his head, and then said: "Okay, you should also go, this time to go to the capital city, you need to pass the Nai River and the misty bamboo forest, there is no way to get on the boat without soul coins, and you need five for each crossing the river, here are ten soul coins, enough for you to go back and forth, you have to put it away." ”
As a result, Qin Yu found that the soul coin he handed over was actually very similar to the copper coin of the Yang World. The only difference may be that there is no square hole in the middle, and there is nothing carved on it, which is very smooth.
"When you reach the other side of the Nai River, you still need to walk through a misty bamboo forest, where there are underworld beasts that specialize in devouring soul bodies, and there is a soul lamp here that can keep you coming and going freely."
Qin Yu looked at the things in his left and right hands, and said in surprise: "It's so dangerous to go to Xudu City, it's a boat fare and a soul lamp." ”
"Boy, if you really think that this underworld is a place to enter and exit at will, and if there is no one to guide you, you people are afraid that you will not even be able to see the gates of the capital city, and you will all die on the road." Chen Sheng sneered and said unceremoniously.
"Oh no, I almost forgot if you didn't talk about it, those two went out of town, would they find a few of them."
"Then it depends on their creation, do you want to ventilate the news under the noses of these people? Have you ever heard of a saying, Dead Dao Friends, Immortal Poor Dao, now if you want to inform them, you have to risk being discovered, do you think I will let you go? ”
Qin Yu frowned and hesitated a little, but he didn't hesitate for too long before making a decision.
Anyway, there are no juniors and disciples from the Egret Academy, and the current situation does not allow them to be notified in the past, so then it depends on their creation.
As Chen Sheng said, friends of the dead Dao do not die in the poor Dao, and it is said that the current situation is like this.
"Then when am I leaving?" Qin Yu asked, he had already decided not to go, and now he could only hope that those people would be more alert and would not be discovered.
"Her Royal Highness Qianji has a lot of power in the underworld, even if she believes that statement, she still won't be completely relieved, and she will leave immediately while her attention is not on you."
Qin Yu nodded, said no more, and immediately headed towards the Lechuan River after asking for the direction.
After leaving Mohuitou Town, he will face the dense fog again, but this time Qin Yu is no longer worried, with the soul lamp given by Chen Sheng, the wandering spirits in the dense fog dare not get close, and the line of sight can also fully see the situation within a radius of about 100 meters, no longer need to worry and fear of losing their way.
Following the path that Chen Sheng said, after walking for a long time, Qin Yu began to find that the dense fog around him was gradually thinning, and at the same time, a pungent smell of blood and decay permeated the surroundings.
Qin Yu looked at the calm and waveless river in front of him and stopped in place.
"This should be Naihe."
In Chinese myths and legends, the prefecture is divided by the Nai River. The water of the Nai River is blood-yellow, and it is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts that cannot be reincarnated, full of insects and snakes, and the fishy wind blows in the face.
But the scene in front of me is a little different from the legend.
It's actually a lonely ghost that can't be reincarnated, full of insects and snakes, so why does the river seem so calm, and there is not even a sound.
Qin Yu felt strange in his heart, he didn't rush forward, but stopped at a distance of about 100 meters from the river, and looked towards the river, but he didn't find the ferry by boat.
And on this river, not to mention the people who support the boat, there is not even a living creature. But when leaving, Qin Yu clearly heard Chen Sheng say that there would be people here, no, it should be a ghost ferrying.
Just when Qin Yu was strange in his heart, he saw a black spot suddenly appear on the surface of the river.
Qin Yu squinted his eyes and carefully identified it for a moment, and as the black dot slowly approached, he saw clearly that there was a small boat slowly floating over.
On the bamboo row, a man with his back bent is standing at the stern of the boat, shaking the oars in his hand vigorously, moving slowly on the calm river.
"Sure enough, it's the boatman." Qin Yu was a little excited, walked to the bank of the river, and waved his right hand vigorously to attract the other party's attention.
After waiting on the shore for more than ten minutes, the boat finally approached slowly.
"Uncle, I want to cross the river." Qin Yu stood on the bank of the river and arched his hand, looking at the old man on the boat, his attitude was very respectful.
The old man on the boat did not speak, but stretched out his right hand and spread out his dry palm. Seeing this, Qin Yu immediately reacted, took out five soul coins from his arms and put them into the old man's hands.
Seeing that the number was correct, the old man said in a hoarse voice: "Come on, there is no problem to cross the river, but you must stay on the boat honestly, and don't have any extra curiosity." ”
