Into the World Chapter 38 Crossing the Soul of the Boat and Flower Boat (1)
After more than a month of walking, Xiaochen also crossed the Cangshu domain and came to the Huaijiao domain, where the yin qi is heavier, which is extremely suitable for the growth of banyan trees and locust trees, and it is precisely this unique condition that makes most of the monks in it practice trickery and divine souls.
"On the way, I heard the news of the Wind Demon Wolf, it is rumored that it seems to be related to the crossing of the river by a flower boat..."Xiao Chen sat in the inn and thought, and the cold monks walked by, their magical powers and abilities were basically used together with ghosts, and the moves were treacherous, especially good at ghost spells.
"Okay! Guest, you want bagpipes, bamboo shoot stew and sake on it! "The children here are dressed in black, but their enthusiasm is not diminished.
"If you don't understand, it's better to ask someone." Xiaochen looked up and saw the shopkeeper.
Xiaochen immediately stopped him and asked, "Do you know how to cross the river with a flower boat?" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, his face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly couldn't say clearly, and his hands holding the silver were a little trembling.
Xiao Chen's brows furrowed when he saw this, and the shopkeeper in front of him seemed to be very frightened when he heard those four words, so he waved his hand and let him leave.
"Friend, crossing the river in a flower boat is not something that ordinary people can participate in." A sturdy man heard Xiaochen's doubts, smiled on his face, and stepped forward to say.
"Oh? Is it? I'm just curious. Xiaochen glanced at him, took a bite of bamboo shoots, and said slowly.
Xiao Er trembled when he heard it just now, and he naturally sensed that something was wrong.
Li Huai was wearing a black cloth robe, with a forced smile on his face, sitting opposite Xiao Chen, looking at his young face, the corners of his mouth were raised: "If a friend wants to understand this, 5 lower grade spirit stones, I'll tell you, how?" ”
Xiaochen's eating action was to stop, chew, swallow and respond: "Okay!" ”
After saying this, Xiao Chen took out 5 lower grade spirit stones from his arms, placed them on the table, and didn't care, and continued to eat bamboo shoots, which tasted really delicious.
Li Huai looked at the spirit stone and his face was also happy, and hurriedly accepted the spirit stone, and then took out a colorful paper boat from his arms, handed it to Xiao Chen, and said: "The flower boat cruise that Brother Tai wants to know about is the Oiran meeting held on Huai Lake, and the time is three days later. ”
"Three days later, won't it be the fourth day of the fourth month? I see—" Xiaochen thought.
Xiaochen paused for a moment and glanced at Li Huai, then took the paper boat, the paper boat was full of colorful patterns, the colors were very bright, and the whole boat seemed to be full of flowers from a distance, but if you look closely, you will find that those flowers are all patchwork of various colors.
Li Huai glanced at Xiaochen carefully, and when he saw him take the paper boat, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "At that time, the invited guests will sit in the flower boat and compete for the appreciation of the Oiran, and the winner can spend the night with the Oiran, and there will also be a lot of lottery heads." ”
Li Huai said it quite temptingly, but Xiao Chen's face was always calm.
Immediately, Li Huai took out a piece of jade slip in his hand, handed it to Xiao Chen, and hurriedly said: "Brother Tai, look at it, this is the colorful head that was revealed in advance of this flower boat crossing the river, it is said that the winner can choose three things to take away, and if you take it to the outside world casually, you can make a casual cultivator rich in an instant!" ”
Xiaochen put down the paper boat, if he didn't know what the flower boat crossing the river was, but when Li Huai said the date, he also knew that this flower boat ferry was the ghost ferry, commonly known as the ghost boat, and he had heard of it in his previous life.
The so-called guests in the Ghost Ferry are those who owe ghost debts, and they will receive paper boat tickets a few days before the fourth day of April to join the Ghost Ferry to pay off the ghost debt.
And those who owe ghost debts can't escape, and can only sell paper boat tickets to others in the form of transactions to get out, and it must be voluntary between buyers and sellers.
However, even this method can only be postponed temporarily, and when the next ghost ferry is present, the ghost debt will come to the door again, and the debtor will not be able to escape after all.
And the name and rules of each round of the ghost domain ferry are different, this time it is called Huazhou to cross the river, Xiao Chen vaguely heard that this ghost domain ferry is a Wendou in the unbounded abyss city in his previous life, so he generously took the paper boat.
And a complete Wind Demon Wolf was the last material he lacked in refining the Natal Saber at present, and he naturally didn't want to miss it.
Xiao Chen glanced at Yu Jian, and sure enough, he saw the Wind Demon Wolf inside.
On the surface, Xiaochen was still silent, picked up the paper boat and Yu Jian and thought about something, and after a while, he raised his eyes and glanced at Li Huai.
Li Huai was afraid that Xiaochen would regret it, so he immediately said: "The paper boat and the jade slip will be handed over to Brother Tai, and I will leave first if I have something to do." After he finished speaking, he put away the spirit stone and ran away without looking back.
The other people in the inn either looked at Xiaochen sympathetically or playfully, the same scene has been seen many times in the past few days, and those outsiders are also the easiest to deceive.
Xiaochen calmly put away the paper boat, and continued to eat as if he didn't know anything to outsiders.
The shopkeeper stepped forward with some hesitation and reminded: "Guest officer, you can eat whatever you want in the past three days, and if you have any regrets, you can go and drop it." ”
Seeing that Xiaochen didn't listen at all, Xiao Er also shook his head slightly, took the flower paper boat, whether it was burned or discarded, it would reappear again after a while like maggots attached to the bones, and those who participated in this trip often did not save one in a hundred.
After the retreat, the three days passed quickly.
At night, Xiaochen seemed to hear the sound of firecrackers around him, as well as the sound of a woman singing loudly, and a cool mist seemed to hit his face, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that the surrounding landscape was no longer the one in the room.
Under the seat, a flower boat is floating on the surface of the lake with dust, and the so-called lake is also flowing towards the sky at this time, converging into a big river.
Ename Lechuan!
On the Lethe River, the flower boats are being swept by the river, looking towards the sky, the river is endless, and looking backwards is a piece of stars.
"Countless boats." Xiaochen muttered, and the singing voice in his ears slowly blurred at this time, and only then did he react, it was because of that voice that he appeared on the flower boat without noticing.
"Childe, it's okay!" Ling'er said softly, looking at Xiaochen, she was also as tender as water, and her face was as ruddy as a peach blossom.
Xiaochen also looked at the past after hearing the voice, the woman in front of her was dressed coolly, Qingshan Yuandai was full of apricot eyes, white skin and beautiful little Qiong nose, vermilion fell a little on the tip of the mouth, peach blossoms and red faces at the corners of the cheeks and eyes, at a glance, she knew that she was a seductive goblin, and the red dress was leaking a trace of spring, which made people reverie, her little hands were placed between her legs and sat in a well-behaved posture, and her bumpy body was also revealing a large piece of white skin at this time, so she looked like she was picking up.
"If you put aside that she is a ghost, she is indeed a stunner." Xiaochen thought, but his eyes have not changed, the ghosts are ever-changing, the most seductive, and the most dangerous.
"Hahaha!" Ling'er looked at Xiao Chen, who had no action, and also covered her mouth and smiled, her body stretched even wider, and said, "Is Ling'er not attractive enough?" With that, he put his finger in his mouth and sucked it up, his face full of charm.
Xiao Chen didn't respond, he simply took out the jade slip and began to look at it, not caring about Ling'er's pretentiousness at all.
Seeing this, Ling'er also put away her movements, sat on the edge of Xiaochen intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a charming voice: "Childe is really boring, people have waited for a long time to wait for you..."
Feeling the softness behind his back, Xiao Chen read out the colorful heads in the jade slip one by one: "No Thought Fruit, Six Paths of Double Cultivation Exercises, Wind Demon Wolf, Realm Breaking Pill, Mingxin Pill, Dizang Flower..."
Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't pay attention to herself at all, Ling'er's complexion also changed, and a ghostly and terrifying face appeared in front of Xiao Chen, and she roared: "Ahhhh ”
Xiaochen glanced at it, there was no surprise in his eyes, and continued to read: "Dragon's blood grass, Jizo flower, flowers don't see leaves..."
"Boring, why is it that a boring man like you is on my ship!" Ling'er couldn't be seduced, and she couldn't be scared of him, so she immediately lost interest, regained her charming appearance again, and sat opposite Xiaochen.
And at this time...
There were already some lingering sounds of love on the several flower boats next door to Xiaochen, and after a while, those flower boats suddenly sank to the bottom of the river.
"Be happy with ghosts, the price is the spirit of life, Xiao is not a fool, how can you not know." Xiao Chen looked at Ling'er at this time and said lightly, put away the jade slip in his hand, and looked into the distance after speaking.
The screams of the people who were fooled in his ears were extremely miserable, and the things that the ghost demanded were not only his body, but also his soul.
When Ling'er heard this, she chuckled and said softly: "It's cheap for them to die under the skirt, they can't even pass the temptation level, instead of dying in pain in the back level, why not now?" ”
Then he suddenly floated forward, his face was attached to Xiao Chen's face, Ling'er stroked Xiao Chen's cheek with her hand, and under a burst of coolness, Ling'er bit her lip and said: "Xiao Gongzi, are you really unwilling to go to Wushan with Ling'er?" ”
Xiaochen looked at her calmly like this, his eyes deep and unsettling.
"It's so ruthless..."Ling'er immediately covered her face with her sleeve and retreated, crying.
There was not the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.
The flower boat continued to move forward, it had already reached the air, looking down, the huge Huaicheng could only see part of the lights lit up, it was already so high, the Lechuan River still did not stop, as if it was going to take everyone to the sky.
The paper flowers dotted on the flower boat also swayed at this time, making out inaudible whispers, and the red light on the paper flowers was even more enchanting, reflecting the blood red of the entire white bone boat.
Ling'er cried for a while and found that the man did not move at all, so she changed back to her original appearance, only this time she put on a splendid coat, and at this time she looked like a rich lady.
"I'm going to pass the Lethe River Soul Pass!" Ling'er also returned to normal at this time, and said in a somewhat cold tone, just like two people before.
"Lethe River crosses the Soul Pass, are you going to enter the ghost domain?" Xiaochen said in a low voice, the ghost domain is the world of the dead, and the living are not allowed to enter. It is presided over by the six divisions of reincarnation, which undertakes the six reincarnations, and is mainly responsible for guiding the reincarnation of lost souls and judging sinful souls, in which sins are measured in evil, and punishment is also based on this.
