Chapter 242: The Ferryman on the Lechuan River

The Hanging Star Road, which extends from the gate of life and death, carries the Yin Soul through life to death. The distance of Huangquan Road is the distance between life and death.

The section of the Yellow Spring Road, which has not yet reached the underworld, is the blurring of the boundary between life and death, while the Lethe River is the boundary between the underworld, separating the world of life and death. Until the Lethe is crossed, all souls will henceforth belong to the underworld, and will never be resurrected again.

As the invisible Lord of the Netherworld, although he did not receive the blessing of the origin of the Netherworld, the entire Netherworld was created by him. There is a faint mark of the underworld on his body.

This underworld mark is a symbol of his identity and a bondage.

Thinking that there was still a lack of ferries and ferrymen in the rivers and mountains of Lethe, Ling Yun groaned slightly and stretched out one of his hands.

With a slight shock to his wrist, the little finger of his left hand snapped at the root.

That little finger, with a part of the origin of creation, turned into a clear qi and fell into the vast Forgotten River. With a squirming of the clear air, it changed into a ferry boat and a boatman. The ferryboat and the people who supported it on board, just like this, propped up a flat boat, and swayed to the opposite bank.

In the vast night fog, the Sodu ferry boat calmly rowed across a calm Lethe River. On this vast Lethe River, only a little ghost fire light on the ferry illuminates the range of a ferry.

The ferryboat and the ferryman transformed by Ling Yun's fingers carried the ferry to the shore of Lethe near the gate of life and death. There are the beast ghosts that have been waiting here for a long time and the souls brought by those ghost pawns.

Because they were imprisoned by Ling Yun, even these ghost pawns couldn't cross Lethe, so they could only stay on this shore, looking at the other side secretly anxious. And those beasts seemed to know the danger of Lethe, and one by one they crowded on the shore, and they did not move forward. Looking at the deep river, I seemed to be a little afraid, a little hesitant, and I didn't dare to go down to test it.

Even if there was life in the water among these beasts, none of them seemed to be afraid of the waters of the Lethe River, and none of them were willing to go down and test it themselves.

Among these beasts, those Underworld ghost pawns wearing soul robes and carrying teams of Yin Souls were extremely conspicuous. Far away, through the night fog on the river, the ferryman saw the ghosts on the riverbank.

These ghost soldiers looked at the ferry boat and the boatman on the Lechuan River in disbelief: "Who are you on the other side?"

There was an empty voice from the ferry, which seemed to be extremely old and very young: "I am but a man who holds the boat, if you want to cross the river, get on the boat!"

The captain of the ghost pawn at the head looked at the small ferry boat and said with suspicion: "Can you carry us over this ferry?"

"Just come up!" said the ferryman, who had no explanation for his doubts.

The captain of the ghost pawn hesitated for a moment, turned around and greeted his subordinates, and boarded the ferry with the intelligent life in his hand.

As soon as they got on the boat, these ghosts felt like they had entered another world, a small ferry boat on the outside, as if it contained a world inside, and they could load it together as many people as they entered.

And the man on the ferryboat was not far away, and seemed to be able to reach it with his hand, but when the ghost soldier quietly reached out and wanted to touch it, he found that he could not touch a corner of the ferryman's clothes anyway.

When the ghost pawn got on the boat with everyone, the man who supported the boat blew a whistle.

The silence was pierced by a long whistle, and the beasts on the shore heard the whistle and stirred slightly, as if they were hesitating. Until a beast slowly approached the water's edge, drank two sips of river water, and then slowly walked to the ferry.

The boatman did not stop him and let him get on the ferry.

When the beasts saw the example, some of them stepped forward to drink the water, while others hesitated.

The beast, who drank the water of the river, boarded the ferry smoothly. Those who did not drink the water from the river were not eligible to board the ferry.

There was the cunning one who wanted to mingle with the beasts that drank the water of the river and board the ferry together, but he was overturned by the boatman and fell into the Lethe River.

Only a few cooing sounds were heard, and the beast that wanted to get into the ferry sank into the river and disappeared.

The beasts with little cunning, though they had no wisdom, saw such a sight, and felt the aura of ill will in their intuition, and they all quietly withdrew. No more trying to fool around.

The ghost pawns on the ferry and the ghosts carried by the ghost pawns couldn't help but shudder when they saw this scene.

These wise ghosts have heard from the ghosts that this river can wash away all memories, personalities, feelings, and so on. If you fall into it, you can't say if you can crawl out.

Those ghost pawns were even more silent, and they didn't dare to speak. They know the horror of the Lethe River, and if they are knocked over and fall into the river, even they will be washed of their memories and personalities.

Being able to become a ghost pawn after death and continue to exist forever is that no one wants to lose their memories and personality feelings. This is a common disease of all intelligent beings, once they lose their own personality and emotional memory, can they still be counted as themselves?

Thinking of that fate, the ghost pawns turned their eyes one after another and stopped looking at the Lethe River. The fear of this Lechuan River in my heart was even stronger. At the same time, I was a little nervous about whether this small ferry boat could cross the Lechuan River unharmed.

When all the beasts that had drunk the Lethe River got on the boat, the ghosts of the beasts that were hesitating on the shore were still hesitating, and the ferryman did not continue to wait, but directly took the ghosts of the boat, turned the bow of the boat, and sailed straight into the night mist scattered on the Lethe River.

Soon, the faint light on the bow of the ship disappeared into the darkness of the night. The beasts saw the direction in which the ferryboat had disappeared and began to wail on the river.

It wasn't that they were desperate to enter the underworld, but that they were blocked by Lethe on this bank, because they had not gained a stable body, and the faint wind that blew from time to time by the Lethe River was like a piercing steel knife to them, and although it did not blow away their souls, it made them feel uncomfortable.

They can feel the attraction of the underworld, and they also know that after entering the underworld, they can completely get rid of this pain and obtain a safe environment.

This kind of intuition in the dark made them yearn for the underworld on the other side of the Lechuan River, but without a ferry, they could not cross the Lethe River and reach the other side of the river, so they could only face the Lethe River, stretching their necks and wailing.
