Chapter 402: A Small Boat as Steady as a Mountain
Before everyone entered the underworld, Bai Wuchang tied a straw on everyone's wrist.
Don't underestimate this straw. It extracts the soul and spirit of each person and imprisons them in the spiritual path and divine gate between the wrists, so that they will not be affected by the aura of the underworld.
However, Ophiopogon japonicus could not withstand the aura of the Netherworld. In addition, his foundation was already injured and his consciousness was damaged, so he was so weak. If he stayed there for too long, his life would be in danger.
Liu Lan had no cultivation experience and had spent a lot of energy on the Qimen Fragrance Technique. If she continued to follow, she would be a burden.
Therefore, the group decided to have Lian Qiao take care of the two and take them away from the underworld.
The two door gods Shentu and Yulei were easy to talk to. They agreed to everyone's request and opened the Ghost Gate, but Lianqiao refused to do so.
Lian Qiao came here to rescue Ling Xiang, and after knowing that Ban Xia's soul might be in the underworld, he became even more reluctant to leave.
Zhao Wuyang was clearly the youngest, Adao was also a child, and Zhanli didn't look very old either, so why was she the only one to go? Could it be that they were taking care of her because she was a girl?
After all, she has fought against the demons before, so who is she looking down on?
Lian Qiao had been spoiled since childhood, and when she got angry, no one could stop her. Fortunately, the eldest daughter of the Liu family was there, and after persuading her with both emotion and reason, Lian Qiao reluctantly accepted her proposal.
"We all want to save people, so we should save as many as we can. Besides, they're both women, so entrusting Maidong to her would be more convenient for both of us, right? Can we really expect these stinky men to take good care of her?"
This was indeed reasonable, and Lian Qiao agreed with it deeply. She glanced at everyone with disdain, especially Liu Xia, and then agreed.
After watching Lian Qiao and the other two step into the Ghost Gate, the group set off. It didn't take long before they arrived at the ferry.
There was a boat floating at the ferry, and an old man was lying on the boat, his face covered by a straw hat, a leaf from somewhere in his mouth, and he was swinging his legs, looking very comfortable.
Sang Mu, Zhan Li and the other three knew this person. They had relied on his magical powers to cross the river before, but Long Qi and the others did not recognize him.
But even if they didn't know each other, they didn't dare to be rude.
On the way, Sang Mu said that if you want to go to the Magic City, you have to cross the river no matter what, and the only way to cross the river is to take a ferry.
Moreover, they knew very well that anyone who could be so leisurely in the netherworld was definitely not an ordinary person!
Sang Mu stepped forward and bowed, calling the old man "senior" and explaining his purpose, but the old man did not move at all. If it were not for his crossed legs still swinging, everyone would have thought he was asleep.
Long Qi frowned slightly and was about to step forward when he was stopped by Chi Yanzi. He looked back and saw Chi Yanzi shaking his head at him and making a gesture to keep quiet, so he endured it.
The old man raised his hat playfully, revealing only one eye. He glanced at everyone sharply and then covered his hat again.
"The clouds drift by the wind, drifting over the deep water; the clear light of the moon floats over the cold pond."
What's so irrelevant?
There was an inexplicable burst of sour words, which left the group confused, but Sang Mu understood it.
Not only Sang Mu, but also Bo Luohui.
"It seems that I can only stop here..."
"What's the meaning?"
Long Qi was puzzled, and everyone else was also confused. They all looked at Bo Luohui, but only saw that he looked relieved.
"We are all from the same school. Although our acquaintance is very shallow, it can be considered as a chance encounter. Now that our fate has ended, it is time to part ways."
"Separate? Where are you going?" Adao asked with his head tilted up, blinking.
Bo Luohui smiled and ruffled Adao's hair: "I originally wanted to add some strength before finishing it, but it was all a vain thought in the end."
After hearing this, how could Long Qi not understand?
Earlier, when they were in front of the Ghost Gate, Long Qi had doubts in his heart. They had to rely on Bai Wuchang's straw to safely enter the underworld, but Bo Luohui could walk on flat ground in the underworld. This was unreasonable.
Now it seems that what Long Qi thought was true: if he could be so relaxed in the underworld, he must have been dead a long time ago.
After figuring this out, Long Qi closed his eyes and turned his head away.
It is true that the two of them did not interact much, but they were still from the same school, so this kind of thing was really difficult to face.
"I have made up my mind. My journey to the human world has been worthwhile. I only wish you all the best." Bo Luohui looked relieved. "If we are destined to be together, we will see each other in the next life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Luohui's body shattered into powder and flew towards Fengdu with the gloomy wind of the underworld.
He is going to reincarnate...
Everyone felt disappointed, but the old man lying there sat up, counted the remaining people, and smacked his lips.
"There are nine rebukes, but are we going to cross the river now?"
Hearing this, Xinyi lowered her eyebrows: Sure enough, there is someone else coming, but who is it?
Long Qi collected his thoughts and looked at the old man, not understanding what he was muttering.
Rebuker? What does that mean?
and……
"Old man, I'm not saying anything, but with so many people, your small boat..." Looking at the boat as slender as a willow leaf, Long Qi couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Can it hold it?
The old man smiled and said, "Young Taoist, are you doubting me?"
After hearing this, Long Qi hurriedly said that he didn't dare, but he still had doubts in his heart. The old man joked:
"It's okay, you don't believe it anyway."
Long Qi touched his nose awkwardly, but then heard the old man say:
"But don't underestimate this little boat of mine. Even if it carries 100,000 divine soldiers from the upper realm, it can easily carry them."
“Huh?!”
Long Qi exclaimed in surprise, and Zhao Wuyang and Adao behind him also poked their heads out in surprise.
"Old Senior, please don't look down on our youth. How can this small boat carry a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers?"
The old man smiled kindly and said, "Why don't you give it a try, little kid?"
Ah Dao had no fault to give, after all, he and Zhan Li had "secretly" ridden on this boat before. However, he suspected that the old man was bragging, but he had no evidence, so he could only pretend to look up and curl his lips casually, but said nothing.
Zhao Wuyang hesitated after hearing this. He glanced at Xinyi beside him, who nodded. He then spoke hesitantly, "Then I'll dare to give it a try."
The old man smiled and took a sip of wine, tilted his head playfully, and motioned Zhao Wuyang to get on board.
Zhao Wuyang was raised in the city lord's mansion since he was a child. He had never seen a river or a mountain, let alone water. Naturally, he was afraid of water, but seeing the old man like this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.
Although it was a river, it was calm and still, like stagnant water, and the boat was motionless. Zhao Wuyang felt strange seeing this, but he did not stop walking.
Zhao Wuyang tried to step one foot in, but the boat was as motionless as if it was welded. When he put both feet firmly on the boat, it was as if he was walking on flat ground, without any shaking as he had imagined.
"Huh?"
Zhao Wuyang jumped in surprise, but the boat was still as solid as a rock, as if it was standing on the ground.
this……
Is this reasonable?
As for the people on the shore, except for Sang Mu, Zhan Li and Adao who had been on the boat, everyone else was also dumbfounded.
this……
Is this appropriate?
