Unsheathed Sword Chapter 101: The Boatman of Lethe

"Later, if you see this book of jade slips, then I want to tell you a very sorry news, you can't get out.

My name is Urin, I don't know if you still know that name. I think that I was also a powerful figure in the cultivation world back then, I entered the four realms at the age of twelve, and at the age of sixteen, I was like the fifth realm, everyone thought that I had a very high talent, and they expected me, but unfortunately, the heavens seemed to have played a big joke on me, I was determined to enter the ten realms, but I only stayed in the eight realms, and my cultivation could not advance an inch.

I have tried many methods, but after more than 30 years of wandering, it is useless; Cutting off the common relationship, cutting off one's own kinship can no longer be broken, but it is also useless. I just watched the expectant eyes around me gradually become cold, and those who tended to be inflammatory, and those who were inclined to be attached to the flames slowly moved away from me, and I was unwilling for a monk from the Eight Realms to end up like this.

Seeing that I couldn't break through with my own strength, I pinned my hopes on various secret opportunities. On a trip that happened to be out on a trip, I found this piece of white jade token carved with the flower of the other side and some scattered ancient records in a strange mountain village in Longjiazhou. The ancient books mentioned the secrets in the secret realm of Lethe. Legend has it that there was a boat on top of Lethe River, and there was a ferryman on the boat who watched over Lethe day and night, and it was said that he was the agent of Hades in the mortal realm, and if you find him, you can gain infinite power.

Of course I've heard of the Secret Realm of Lethe, and I've even been to the sea between East Fuyao and Middle-earth to look for the Qingli Islands, but to no avail. I was carried away by cultivation, so I thought of a way to enter Lethe, in fact, I had already estimated that as long as I didn't enter the central region, Lethe would not be much of a threat to me.

I've been in Lethe for more than eight years, and I've been looking for the door of life and death that the token corresponds to, and as long as I open the door, there is endless power waiting for me. Although the process was difficult, but fortunately, the hard work paid off, I finally found the Lethe River in this unknown cave, and also found the door of life and death recorded in the ancient books, but I was very wrong, to open the door must collect five tokens, and I only have one of the white jade tokens, what is even more terrifying is that I can't find the way to come when I want to leave the cave.

For an unseen exit for a cultivator of the Eight Realms, there is only one possibility, and that is to be trapped by the formation arranged by those who have cultivated to a higher level. I started to panic, but it didn't help and I was stuck here.

Discouraged, I waited in this cave, and I don't know how long later, I saw a small boat sailing on the Lethe River, and on the small boat stood an old man holding an artemisia. I was overjoyed, it was definitely the ferryman! But alas, after a series of conversations, the ferryman disliked my filthy soul, full of blood, and unworthy of his salvation. I didn't dare to resist him, I couldn't find an exit, I knew I was going to die here.

In fact, when I turned my head and thought about it, I was indeed blinded by cultivation at the beginning, and I thought about improving my cultivation, but I know that cultivation is based on talent and blessing, and it can't be sought, and later people must take it as a warning!

If someone does come here, remember that your only chance of survival is the ferryman, and you might as well talk to him, maybe there is still a chance of life. By the way, don't touch my robe, although it is an immortal soldier, but I have imposed a trap, as long as it is taken away from my body, the monks below the Seven Realms will definitely die. If you haven't touched it yet, don't do it, or leave me a whole corpse, and if you take it before you see this jade slip, then your own greed will kill you, and I can't blame you.

Anyway, future generations, I wish you good luck in the end. ”

Xu Huaigu took this side of the jade slip, and after reading it, he was shocked into a cold sweat, not only because the owner of this dry bone said that he would never be able to go out after he came, but also because of the trap under the robe, if he had been a little greedy before, he would be a dead man now.

Cultivating a realm, sure enough, life and death are inadvertently, drinking and pecking, and the heavens have already made a decision.

But no matter what, Xu Huaigu still got a very important information in the hands of this senior, he knelt down again, arched his hand to the dry bones and said, "Thank you for the gift of the senior, the junior has thanked you again." ”

Xu Huaigu glanced at the boundless Lechuan, and he didn't know where the ferryman was, but he also knew that this kind of mysterious person was not something he could see if he wanted to, it depended on fate.

He decided to find the door of life and death that Dry Bones said before making a decision.

Looking at the dry bone's finger, the door of life and death should be in the lower reaches of the Lechuan River, Xu Huaigu put away his things and continued to walk downstream.

Not long after, Xu Huaigu heard a loud sound of water, which was deafening. When he went to check, he found that Lethe River had actually flowed to the end, and at the end of it was an extremely high waterfall hanging down, Xu Huaigu couldn't see where the lower end of the waterfall was, he could only see the boundless void, maybe it was the underworld.

And next to this waterfall, there is a magnificent and atmospheric obsidian gate towering, a full twenty zhang high, the most amazing thing is that the surface of this obsidian is extremely smooth, without the slightest trace of damage, Xu Huaigu can clearly see his face from the surface of this gate, just like a black mirror.

Xu Huaigu took the sword and gently scratched it a few times, and found that the gate did not even leave scratches, but his sword blade was a little damaged.

Sure enough, it is definitely not simple to be called a name like the door of life and death.

This door of life and death blocked Xu Huaigu's way forward, and his way out stopped here.

He could see that there were five small holes that had been cut out in the center of this door, exactly the same size and shape as the black and white token in Xu Huaigu's hand, which was used to place the token.

Xu Huaigu's train of thought reached this point, there was no way out, he was at a loss, all he could do was wait quietly, either wait until the ferryman had a glimmer of life, or die before the ferryman came.

But Xu Huaigu didn't want to waste this period of time, he also wanted to carefully sort out what he had gained since he left Qingling.

He opened his bag and counted the contents one by one.

There is no doubt that two swords are the biggest gain, but beyond that, there are many miscellaneous small objects.

Those beautiful little stones taken out of the Lingjiang River, Xu Huaigu gave Bai Xiaoyu a piece, Taoist priest Sun Xiang a piece, and Li Zi a piece, and there were only four pieces left, and the color was not very good.

A few taels of broken silver, of little use.

Qilian Blood Jade was temporarily given to him by Lin Cangyang, and he didn't have time to return it to her after leaving the palace.

A white token and a black token are each used, and I don't know how useful they are for the time being.

After examining the external objects, he began to observe the contents of his body again.

His cultivation was still stable at the peak of the second realm, and he was only a little short of the third realm, but he still didn't know how to take this very small but by no means simple step.

He has also abandoned the sword cultivation method taught to him by Deng Zhiyuan for a long time, during this time he has been busy with human affairs, and his cultivation has fallen behind, and he feels that he should hurry up his cultivation after this matter is over.

There is also the one that the Taoist priest passed on to him. His heart was still surrounded by the golden threads, which were entangled like a thin layer of liquid surging on the surface of the heart, and the number of those golden threads seemed to be a little more than when the Taoist priest taught him, which surprised Xu Huaigu.

You must know that he has been practicing this golden shuttle talisman in the past three months from the northwest of Binbei, but it has no effect, and he was about to give up, but he didn't expect it to be improved, it seems that this golden shuttle talisman is not about practice, but about something more mysterious.

Since he had to wait, Xu Huaigu felt that he might as well use his cultivation to pass the time.

He began to recite the mantra silently, breathing slowly and breathing.

But after a while, Xu Huaigu's brows gradually tightened, and he felt very puzzled. Then he smiled dismally and shook his head.

He forgot what Huang Shan had told him when he came, Lethe's aura was different from the outside world, and the monk couldn't replenish his aura, so naturally he couldn't practice.

He sighed, picked up the long sword, and prepared to stand up and practice swordsmanship. Swordsmanship is a foreign object, heavy sword moves and swordsmanship, and does not need the support of aura.

He had just picked up his sword, but he seemed to be aware of it, as if someone was watching him from a distance.

Xu Huaigu slowly turned his head to look at the surface of the Lechuan River, and then the movement of holding the sword suddenly stopped, and he only cared about looking at the river.

On the endless surface of the river, the fog is trickling and the water is rippling. Among them, the silhouette of a pitch-black boat gradually appeared in the fog, swaying towards Xu Huaigu.
