The sky is deep, and the bright moon casts a soft glow as hazy as thin smoke. The vast sea surface rises and falls slightly, shattering the moon's shadow and rippling with bits of gold.
"I don't have any rare treasures on me." Wang Xuan said. He didn't want to meet a creature that might be an immortal.
Even through the curtain, he was still afraid of that creature because it was unfathomable.
After experiencing the incident with the red-clothed female demon fairy, he no longer dared to easily enter the inner places left by those ancient people.
"It's okay. Meeting is fate. This ship has been deserted for many years and it's rare for anyone to board it. It's okay to come here and chat casually. Maybe there will be a chance to cooperate with them."
The ferryman was easy to talk to. He then took another look at Wang Xuan's dagger and said, "Besides, you have some nice items on you."
There were no waves in the sea, and the bamboo boat was very stable. The ferryman sat on the bow, holding a fishing rod, looking into the void.
The curtain was approaching and slowly sinking from mid-air, gradually reaching the same level as the sea, with a misty fog attached to it, not far away.
The feathered bamboo boat is connected to the curtain with a fishing line, and a faint light flows through it.
"Someone wants to cooperate with your Patriarch and is willing to give him a Feather-level scripture." The ferryman turned around and spoke. There was no one in the straw raincoat, it was pitch black, with only mist.
It was such a grand move at the beginning that Wang Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
If he didn't know the truth, he would be very tempted.
But he had seen the end of the leader of a religion in the inner scene deep in the moon crater on the crescent moon, and now he felt horrified when he heard about this kind of transaction.
He suddenly became alert. These creatures were very scary and they wanted to hunt down the founder of a religion!
"My master is in seclusion and he probably won't be able to come out in the short term." Wang Xuan responded in a low-key but serious manner.
He didn't dare to act recklessly in this place, and his expression was serious and sincere.
The ferryman nodded and said, "Well, someone heard that you resolutely gave up all the top 'real body' paths and became another person to board the ship after many years. They thought you were good and wanted to teach you."
"Are there any conditions?" Wang Xuan asked cautiously.
If the secret techniques taught by ancient powerful immortals were to be spread out, many practitioners would probably go crazy!
"Enter the world behind the scenes and study for three years. In the future, you have to accomplish three things for him." said the ferryman in a straw raincoat.
"As long as the master is here, I will not travel far. I don't know if he can successfully take that step after his seclusion. I dare not go far away." Wang Xuan said solemnly.
The ferryman smiled and said nothing.
Wang Xuan was puzzled and asked, "Can people like us in the mortal world also enter the world behind the scenes?"
"Your spiritual consciousness can go in temporarily, but your physical body is difficult."
After hearing this response, Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. If he really went in, would he still be the one coming out?
He felt that this was too passive, and said, "As a low-level cultivator, I don't think I have anything that would be appreciated by the elders. How about asking the elders if they have any unfulfilled wishes in this world, and see if I can help and how we can cooperate."
After hearing the ferryman's retelling, the people behind the curtain fell silent. Those unfathomable creatures seemed to have thought of some old events in the past, reminiscing and remembering them.
There was fog in front of the curtain that never dissipated, so their true faces could not be seen.
"Someone asked you, can your master kill a black prison bird at the level of an earthly immortal?"
Wang Xuan was in a dilemma. He asked Patriarch Wang to kill that damn black prison bird. What a joke!
He shook his head and declined, he really couldn't agree to it.
The ferryman said, "That's a pity. It's a rare opportunity for someone to ask your Patriarch to kill creatures below the Immortal Level. It's a relatively easy task to accomplish."
Wang Xuan was speechless. Killing an earthly immortal was a task with a relatively low difficulty coefficient?
But if you think about where these people came from, it's understandable.
"That senior was so powerful, why didn't he kill his enemies himself back then?" Wang Xuan asked.
The ferryman said, "That earthly immortal was separated from him by several generations, and in later generations he destroyed his temple, so he was resentful."
After Wang Xuan was in a trance and ascended to heaven, even his own escape route was cut off. It was quite miserable.
At the same time, he was aware that he had too little freedom behind the scenes and had completely lost his influence on the world.
Wang Xuan opened his mouth and said, "If you have any enemies, please do not look for my master. The times are different now. The environment of heaven and earth has changed drastically. Ascension to the immortal world is a thing of the past, and creatures at the level of earthly immortals have become legends."
Everything was relayed to both parties by the ferryman.
Behind the curtain, those people were silent, and this was indeed the case in many areas.
Wang Xuan added: "Seniors, if there are any descendants who need care, please let me know."
The ferryman shook his head and said, "They all refused because they were afraid that your master would destroy their descendants and covet the treasures they left behind."
Wang Xuan was speechless after hearing this. The ideas of these people were really...dark!
However, he could also understand that anyone who reached this height must have experienced all kinds of storms and dangers in the world, otherwise he would not live to achieve immortality.
“No wonder they left traps for future generations after disappearing from the present world. They are such a pushover!” Wang Xuan complained.
Then, he continued, "Dear seniors, are there any elders or loved ones you miss? I can help you find their old graves, sweep their graves, and hold memorial services for them."
Even the ferryman was speechless. This person on board was a bit different. Was he going to take charge of all kinds of mundane matters like visiting graves and looking for people?
"There's nothing I can do. I'm just a mortal now." Wang Xuan responded helplessly.
"They said that when you die, everything is gone, and you ascend to heaven. Even if you cut off your ties to the worldly world, even if you still have thoughts, you can only commemorate them in your heart." The ferryman said, and then he added: "I think they are afraid that you will steal graves."
