After traveling for more than a month, Xiaochen also crossed the Cangshu Domain and came to the Huaijiao Domain. The Yin Qi in the Huaijiao Domain was relatively heavy, which was extremely suitable for the growth of banyan and locust trees. It was this unique condition that allowed Most of the monks within it practice trickery and spirituality.
"I heard news about the Wind Demon Wolf on the way. It is rumored that it seems to be related to the flower boat crossing the river..." Xiaochen sat in the inn and thought about it. The cold monks passed by one after another. Their magical powers and abilities were basically the same as those of ghosts. Performed together, the moves are weird and special, and they are especially good at ghost spells.
"Okay! Sir, here's the bagpipe, bamboo shoot stew and sake you want!" The child here was dressed in black, but his enthusiasm was not diminished.
"If you don't understand, why not ask someone." Xiaochen looked up and saw the waiter.
Xiao Chen immediately stopped him and asked, "Do you know how to cross the river by boat?"
After hearing this, the waiter's expression changed drastically. He couldn't explain clearly at once, and his hand holding the silver taels trembled a little.
Xiao Chen frowned when he saw this. The waiter in front of him seemed to be very frightened after hearing those four words, so he waved his hand to let him leave.
"Friends, the flower boat crossing the river is not something that ordinary people can participate in." A strong man heard Xiaochen's doubts, smiled on his face, and walked forward and said.
"Oh? Really? I'm just curious." Xiaochen glanced at him, took a bite of bamboo shoots and said slowly.
The waiter shivered when he heard it just now, so he naturally sensed that something was wrong.
Li Huai was wearing a black cloth, suppressing a smile on his face. He sat across from Xiaochen in a familiar manner. He looked at his young face and raised the corner of his mouth: "If my friend wants to know about this, five low-grade spiritual stones, I will tell you." how are you?"
Xiaochen stopped eating, chewed, swallowed and said, "Okay!"
After saying this, Xiaochen took out 5 low-grade spiritual stones from his arms and placed them on the table. He didn't care and continued to eat the bamboo shoots. They tasted really delicious.
Li Huai looked at the Lingshi with joy on his face. He quickly collected the Lingshi, then took out a colorful paper boat from his arms, handed it to Xiaochen, and said: "The Huazhou Youdu that brother wants to know about is in The oiran party will be held on Sophora Lake in three days."
"Three days later, won't it be the fourth day of April? So that's it..." Xiaochen thought.
Xiaochen paused and glanced at Li Huai, then took the paper boat. The paper boat was covered with colorful patterns. The colors were very bright. From a distance, the whole boat looked like it was covered with flowers. But when you look closer, you will see that I found that the flowers were all made up of various colors of paint.
Li Huai took a careful look at Xiaochen and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him taking the paper boat and continued: "At that time, the invited guests will sit in the flower boat and compete for the oiran's appreciation. The winner can spend the night with the oiran. , and there will also be a lot of luck.”
Li Huai's words were quite seductive, but Xiaochen's expression was always calm.
Immediately, Li Huai took out a jade slip in his hand, handed it to Xiaochen, and said quickly: "Brother, look, here are the prizes revealed in advance for this flower boat crossing. It is said that the winner can choose three items to take away. , if you take anything from it to the outside world, it can make a casual cultivator instantly rich!"
Xiaochen put down the paper boat. If he didn't know what Huazhou Crossing was before, he understood it when Li Huai told the date. This Huazhou Ferry is a ghost ferry. It is commonly known as a ghost boat. He had heard about it in his previous life. Pass.
The so-called guests in the Ghost Ferry are those who owe ghost debts. They will receive paper boat tickets a few days before the fourth day of April and participate in the Ghost Ferry to pay off their ghost debts.
Those who owe ghost debts cannot escape. They can only escape by selling paper boat tickets to others through transactions, and both parties must be willing to do so.
However, even this method can only be temporarily postponed. When the next ghost ferry appears, the ghost debt will come again, and the debtor will not be able to escape after all.
The name and rules of each round of ghost ferry are different. This time, it is called Huazhou Crossing River. Xiaochen vaguely heard that this ghost ferry was Wen Dou in Wujie Abyss City in his previous life, so he accepted it openly. Got off the paper boat.
And a complete Wind Demon Wolf is the last material he currently lacks to refine his natal sword, so he naturally doesn't want to miss it.
Xiaochen glanced at the jade slip and saw the Wind Demon Wolf inside.
On the surface, Xiaochen remained calm. He picked up the paper boat and jade slips and thought about something. After a while, he raised his gaze and glanced at Li Huai.
Li Huai was afraid that Xiaochen would regret it, so he immediately said, "I'll leave the paper boat and jade slips to my brother. If I have anything else to do, I'll leave first." After saying that, he put away the spiritual stone and ran away without looking back.
Others in the inn looked at Xiao Chen with sympathy or joking. They had seen the same scene many times in the past few days, and those outsiders were also the easiest to deceive.
Xiaochen calmly put away the paper boat, and continued to eat the delicious food as if he didn't know anything to outsiders.
The waiter stepped forward with some hesitation and reminded: "Sir, you can eat whatever you want in these three days. If you have any regrets, just leave it."
Seeing that Xiaochen didn't listen at all, the waiter shook his head slightly and took the flower paper boat. No matter whether he burned it or discarded it, it would reappear after a while like a maggot attached to the bone, and those who participated in this trip would often be confused. Save one.
Three days passed quickly during the retreat.
At night, Xiaochen seemed to hear the sound of firecrackers and the sound of women singing loudly around him. A cool mist seemed to hit his face. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the surroundings were no longer in the room. landscape.
Under the seat, a flower boat was floating on the lake with the sky in the sky. The so-called shame lake was also flowing towards the sky at this time, converging into a big river.
The name of the river is Wangchuan!
On the Forgotten River, flower boats are being carried by the river. Looking towards the sky, the river is endless as far as the eye can see, and looking back, it is even more dotted with stars.
"Countless flower boats." Xiaochen muttered, and the singing voice coming to his ears gradually became blurry. Only then did he realize that it was because of the influence of the voice that he was unaware of it. The earth appears on the flower boat.
"Young master, you're still fine!" Ling'er said softly, looking at Xiaochen with tenderness, her face as rosy as a peach blossom.
After Xiaochen heard the voice, he also looked over. The woman in front of him was dressed coolly. She had bright almond-shaped eyes with green mountains, a fair complexion and a beautiful little nose. A little vermilion fell on the tip of her mouth. Her cheeks had peach blossoms at the corners of her eyes. You could tell she was a seductress at a glance. She is a fairy, and the red dress is leaking out the slightest hint of spring, which arouses people's imagination. Her little hands are placed between her legs and she is sitting in a cute posture. At this time, her bumpy body also reveals a large area of white skin, as if she is ready for you to pick.
"If we forget that she is a ghost, she is indeed a beauty." Xiaochen thought, but his eyes did not change. Ghosts are ever-changing, the most alluring and dangerous.
"Hahaha!" Ling'er looked at Xiaochen, who was motionless, and smiled with her mouth covered. She stretched her body even further and said, "Isn't Ling'er not attractive enough?" After saying that, she put her fingers in her mouth. Sui Yun, his face is full of charm.
Xiaochen didn't respond, and simply took out the jade slips and started reading them, not caring about Ling'er's pretentiousness at all.
Seeing this, Ling'er also stopped her movements, intentionally or unintentionally, she sat down next to Xiao Chen and said in a charming voice: "Young Master is so boring. I have been waiting for you for a long time..."
Feeling the softness against his back, Xiaochen read out the lucky numbers in the jade slip one by one: "No Thought Fruit, Six Paths Dual Cultivation Technique, Wind Demon Wolf, Breaking Realm Pill, Mingxin Pill, Ksitigarbha Flower..."
Seeing that Xiaochen ignored her at all, Ling'er's expression also changed. A rotten and terrifying face like a ghost appeared in front of Xiaochen, and she roared: "Ahhh!"
Xiao Chen glanced around, and there was no surprise in his eyes. He continued to read: "Dragon blood grass, Ksitigarbha flower, the flowers bloom but there are no leaves..."
"Bouxing, why did a boring man like you appear on my boat!" Ling'er couldn't seduce him and couldn't scare him. She immediately lost interest and regained her charming appearance, sitting opposite Xiaochen.
And at this time...
The lingering sounds of love could already be heard from some of the flower boats next to Xiaochen. After a while, those flower boats suddenly sank to the bottom of the river.
"The cost of being happy with ghosts is your life and soul. Xiao is not a fool, how could he not know this." Xiaochen looked at Ling'er and said calmly, put away the jade slip in his hand, and looked into the distance after speaking.
The screams of the fooled man were extremely miserable, and what the ghost demanded was not only his body, but also his soul.
After hearing this, Ling'er chuckled and said softly: "Death under your skirt is an advantage for them. They can't even pass the trial level. Instead of dying in pain in the later levels, why not die now?"
Then she suddenly floated forward and put her face against Xiaochen's face. Ling'er stroked Xiaochen's cheek with her hands. Under the chill, Ling'er bit her lips and said, "Master Xiao, I really don't want to go with Ling'er." Wushan?"
Xiaochen just looked at her calmly, his eyes deep and calm.
"You are so cruel..." Ling'er immediately covered her face with her sleeves and backed away, crying.
There was no movement in his eyes.
The flower boat continued to move forward, and it was already in the air. Looking down, the huge Sophora City could only see the partially lit lights. It was already so high, and the Wangchuan River still did not stop, as if it was taking everyone with it. It's like going to the sky.
The paper flowers decorated on the flower boat also swayed at this time, making inaudible whispers. The red light from the paper flowers was even more charming, reflecting the blood-red color of the entire bone boat.
Ling'er cried for a while and realized that the man didn't move at all, so she changed back to her original appearance, only this time she put on a beautiful coat, and now she looked like a rich lady.
"It's time to pass the Forgotten River Crossing Soul Pass!" Ling'er returned to normal at this time, and her tone was a little cold as she said it, just like the two of them before.
"Wangchuan Crossing Soul Pass, are you going to enter the ghost realm?" Xiaochen whispered, the ghost realm is a world of the dead, and the living are not allowed to enter. It is run by the Sixth Division of Reincarnation and takes over the reincarnation of the six paths. It is mainly responsible for guiding the reincarnation of lost souls and judging the guilty souls. The sins are measured in evil, and the punishment is based on this.
