Chapter 47: Crossing the River
The old man's gaze was very cold, and he did not speak. He was dressed in a black robe, his face was withered, and his silver hair was scattered, as if he was about to die. But Lei Yu felt a terrifying aura, and this old man was absolutely hidden. If he refuses, I'm afraid he will be thrown into the Lethe River by the old man immediately.
Lei Yu's forehead began to break out in a cold sweat, the scene at this moment was too weird, it had exceeded his imagination. This is no longer mortal, it is more like the underworld, which is unsettling.
"Is the senior going to take me across the river?" Lei Yu asked softly, his heart pounding.
The old man didn't speak, but stretched out his right hand to beckon Lei Yu. It was a white bone hand, without the slightest flesh and blood, with a black glow surrounding it. In a moment, a black light shot out from his right hand, heading straight for Thunder Feather.
Lei Yu didn't have time to react, and built a cyan shield in front of him, but it didn't have the slightest effect. That black light shot directly into Lei Yu's body, and all kinds of emotions suddenly came to him, making Lei Yu's brain become a mess.
Dark, evil, hateful, greedy, yin desire, all kinds of negative emotions flashed in Lei Yu's mind, especially gloomy. This black light turned out to be a collection of all kinds of negative emotions, fusing all kinds of negative emotions together, giving Lei Yu a great impact.
Lei Yu felt that he was a little different from himself, he seemed to have become a different person, dark, cold, greedy, all kinds of negative emotions that might appear gathered in his body in the blink of an eye. He was going crazy, and the thunder in his body began to get out of control and become chaotic, and had already begun to cause immeasurable damage in his body.
"Bang bang bang!" Lei Li was confused, and all kinds of noises began to appear in his body, and there were blood stains flowing out of the surface of his skin, staining his clothes red, which was extremely scary.
"No, if this continues, I'm afraid that I will be dominated by this dark aura and lose myself, I must stabilize the situation as soon as possible. Lei Yu calmed down, remained calm, expelled those negative emotions that entered his body, and the situation was stabilized.
"No one, no shadowy creature, can refuse my invitation. Otherwise, sinking to the bottom of the Lethe River will be your final result. The old man spoke, his voice hoarse and indifferent.
He seemed to be an iceman who had not changed for a thousand years, cold, without the slightest anger, but the words he said made Lei Yu startled, thinking that he could not refuse to board the ship.
"Senior, I'll get on the boat. Lei Yu boarded the ship cautiously, he had to listen to the old man's words. Otherwise, if you are thrown into the Lechuan River, it will be a situation where you will sink to the bottom of the river and never be reborn.
I glanced at the Lechuan River, the river was yellow, very turbid, and there was a strong resentment contained in it. Occasionally, some water ghosts appeared in the river, trying to break free from the Lechuan River, but they were all driven to the bottom of the river without exception, and it was impossible to float again.
"Ding Ding Ding!" As soon as Lei Yu boarded the boat, a bell rang and came out leisurely. Then the old man arrived: "Get on board!"
As he fell, the old man propped up the boat and headed towards the other side of the Lechuan River.
The ghost ship wasn't very big, it could only stand two or three people. The stern of the ship was occupied by the old man, and Lei Yu could only stay in the middle cabin. It's just that this cabin is too short, Lei Yu didn't want to stay longer, walked out of the cabin, and looked at the Lechuan River.
The water of the Lechuan River is not very turbulent, but very gentle. The river is yellow, and there are endless resentments condensed in it.
This is a river of the underworld, and there are endless water ghosts and evil things in it. When the ghost boat is moving, there are constantly water ghosts in the Lechuan River surrounding the boat, all kinds of colors, showing all kinds of human beings, all different.
"It seems to be a gluttonous ghost, and his mouth has been cut off......" Lei Yu stood on top of the ghost ship, watching the water ghosts surrounding him on all sides. Although the ghost ship is small, these water ghosts cannot board, and the ghost lamp on the bow of the ship flashes with green light, driving out the water ghosts that come up from all around.
I have to say that there are many types of water ghosts around the ghost ship, and there are all kinds of water ghosts. Lei Yu was no longer afraid at the moment, but was commenting on these water ghosts, which made him recognize many legendary water ghosts.
"It's about a third of the way through, and it's not long before we're on the shore. Lei Yu estimated the distance. At this moment, the ghost boat has walked into the distance, the river is more turbid, and the resentment contained is also deeper, and the water ghosts around the ghost boat have also increased a lot, and a burst of roars came, which made people annoying.
At this time, even the ghost lamp that flashed with green light was a little uncontrollable, and the old man also began to make a move, and began to expel the surrounding water ghosts.
He held a black bamboo pole, surrounded by a black light, and a thick filthy aura gathered on it, and with each swing, many water spirits were knocked down and sank into the river again.
In a short period of time, all the water ghosts around him were defeated by the old man, and they were no longer besieged, and the speed of the ghost boat began to speed up, heading towards the other side of the river.
"It's so thick that it's almost invisible. "The ghost ship began to enter the ghost fog area, and there was a thick fog shrouded in it, sealing the entire surface of the river, and it was not visible at all.
Lei Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the old man who was holding the boat, and his heart was inexplicably a little relieved. The old man looked like an old god was there, without the slightest change, and slowly moved forward with the ghost ship. Even though the surrounding river was a little turbulent, the ghost boat still showed no signs of instability.
"Knock knock!" Suddenly, there was a sound from the bottom of the boat, as if some water ghost was hitting the ghost ship, trying to overturn the ghost ship. Lei Yu's heart was raised, at this time he had reached the center of the Lethe River, once the boat capsized, he would sink to the bottom of the Lethe River, and he would never be reborn.
Lei Yu looked at the ghost ship that was about to collapse, the hull was pitch black, somewhat rotten, and dilapidated. With such a ghost ship, Lei Yu really found it hard to believe that it could hold out for a long time.
"I hope that old man can solve this underwater water ghost!" Lei Yu prayed in his heart and retreated to the cabin. The ghost boat was already a little unstable, and he didn't want to fall into the Yellow Spring River.
"Knock knock!" An even more violent voice came, and Lei Yu could clearly feel the pressure on the bottom of the ship, as if it was about to collapse. It's just that at this time, the old man didn't move, still holding the ghost boat and moving forward, still ignoring the movement at the bottom of the boat.
The ghost boat continued on its way, but it slowed down considerably, floating in the middle of the Lethe River. Although the ghosts under the water could not overturn the boat, at least they slowed down the speed of the boat, and there was a circle of water ghosts around it, roaring beside the boat to stop the ghost ship from advancing.
The old man's eyes finally had a trace of fluctuation, there was a black thunder qi running all over his body, the stench was unpleasant, very filthy, I don't know what kind of strange thunder he had. It's just that with the operation of this thunder force, a strange wave is generated, pushing the surrounding water ghosts into the distance and unable to approach.
"Roar!" Under this strange fluctuation, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the bottom of the water, and there were terrible water ghosts stirring the current, and in an instant, the giant Lang was monstrous, as if it was about to overturn the ghost ship. Immediately after, a huge fishtail emerged, its white scales glittering, and it was ten feet long.
The giant tail swung and slapped at the ghost ship. The force is surging, and the ghost ship is in great danger and may capsize at any time. It's just that at this time, the old man did it.
A slender bamboo pole hit the huge fishtail, and the black light flashed on the bamboo pole, turning into a black shadow and quickly ascending. As soon as it comes into contact with the fish's tail, it is slapped off and can no longer float.
"What kind of bamboo pole is this, it seems to be a terrible thunder soldier. Lei Yu already understood at this time that this was definitely not an ordinary bamboo pole, it was a thunder soldier. Its appearance is not good, but its power is endless.
The huge fishtail was knocked off, and the huge water ghost under the water also disappeared, and the ghost ship stabilized again, and it was extremely stable.
Lei Yu's hanging heart finally fell, and the scene just now made him marvel in his heart. If the fishtail really knocked down the ghost boat, I'm afraid he would have to die at the bottom of the river. Now, now that the danger has been lifted, he is relieved.
"It's time to pay for the boat. At this time, the old man spoke again, indifferent, but it surprised Lei Yu.
He walked out of the cabin, still a little puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Senior, what kind of boat money?" He really had no idea what kind of boat money, and he didn't know where to start.
"The money for the boat to cross the river. The old man cherished words like gold, and his hoarse voice rose again.
"What's that?" Lei Yu was completely confused by this old man, and was a little confused.
"If you don't pay for the boat, I'll throw you into the Lethe River and sink you forever. The old man spoke, his face expressionless, and the white bone hand in his right hand grasped the bamboo pole, stabilized the boat, and stopped in the middle of the river.
"Ship money?" Lei Yu was shocked, thinking of something. There is a legend that says that if you want to cross the Lethe River, you must prepare the money for the boat to cross the river. If you don't have the money for the boat, you will be thrown into the Lethe River by the boatman and sink forever.
Now, Lei Yu has encountered this kind of scene. It's just that he is a living person, and he has no concept of the so-called ship money, and he can't get the boat money for a while, so he can only do it in a hurry.
"Senior, do you see this line?" Lei Yu took out the few remaining Lei Yuan Stones in the space bag and put them in front of the old man, just in exchange for the old man shaking his head, obviously this can't be used as boat money.
"What about this?" Lei Yu then took out the few things left in the storage bag, but the old man still shook his head, it was not the boat money he wanted.
Lei Yu's face was a little anxious, he was ruthless, and took out the Lei Yuan Sword, which was shining with golden light, which was Lei Yu's most precious treasure. He didn't want to take it out, but now in this situation, he can only take it out to see if it's worth the "boat money".
"None of the things you took out were boat money, and you can sink into the Lethe River now. The old man shook his head again, his face expressionless, but what he said made Lei Yu feel like thunder.
"Senior ......" Lei Yu wanted to say something more, but found that a black shadow was coming. He was not prepared at all, he was hit by a black shadow, and fell into the Lethe River with a "plop", sinking into the yellow water.
