Chapter 74 Jumping into the River Styx(1/2)
After passing through the scroll, going up the stairs, and going up, the view suddenly broadened, and we entered a very large room.
There is only one picture in this room.
"Uncle, please rest, I'll make you some tea."
Just as I was about to speak, Xiaodan had already left.
My eyes returned to the scroll.
The scroll is a landscape painting. The strange thing is that when I stare at it, I always feel that the scroll is moving, and someone seems to be walking slowly inside.
Hiss!
I took a breath of air and saw that the man was getting bigger and bigger, and after a while he actually walked out of the scroll.
I was stunned!
Suddenly I realized that the figure of this person was the same as the figures in the scrolls I had encountered before.
"Are you... a ghost lady?"
The other party smiled slightly and sat on the chair dignifiedly and elegantly.
And waved me to sit down.
At this time, Xiaodan came back, put two cups of tea on the table, turned and left.
I sat down and looked at the ghost lady.
Is this Yan Ling's master?
Judging from the appearance alone, he is not as stunning as Yan Ling, but in terms of temperament, he has a kind of nobility that is as light as weight.
It has the aura of a superior person like my third grandfather, who must have been a powerful figure during his lifetime.
She was dressed in white clothes, which were not stained by dust and looked like white snow. Her long hair was pulled back casually, and she behaved softly and generously.
"Yan Ling sent a letter saying that he got to know a boy who was attracted to her, and helped her several times, saving her life. The boy also admired her."
I was startled.
"Haha, that boy is you."
"Yan Ling really said that?" I felt a little excited.
It felt like meeting a parent. No matter what the reputation of the parent was, she was Yan Ling's parent. She was very moved when she could hear the other party's secretly complimentary words.
"Well, this kid Yan Ling is very cautious about her feelings, and she hardly ever praises others. It's obvious that she has true feelings for you."
I listened silently, with the corners of my mouth curling up uncontrollably.
"But how much do you know about Yan Ling?"
I was stunned.
Wei Ziqi suddenly turned around and opened the window. Outside the window, he could directly see the dim river water outside.
suddenly!
I saw something floating on the water, not too close or too far away from the hull, always staying in that position.
"That is?"
"That is a floating coffin. Yan Ling has grown up in that floating coffin for more than ten years. She sleeps in it every night."
I stood up in shock and looked intently!
Where has Yan Ling lived all these years?
That……
It's really lonely.
For a moment, I felt infinite pity!
"Just because she is my apprentice, the people in Fengdu are very hostile to her."
I frowned: "I have no intention of getting involved in this fight. Since Yan Ling has entered the world, it is better not to let her come back to live here. I guess you don't want her to continue to wander here alone."
Wei Ziqi closed his mouth and looked at me with a strange expression.
"For some reasons, I can't leave this boat for a while, but you have to go through the floating coffin to find the soul of Yan Ling. The floating coffin will guide you to where the soul of Yan Ling is, but there will be many risks. You have to think clearly.
.”
"How to get to the floating coffin location?"
Wei Ziqi's eyes were complicated: "We can only swim over."
"Swim over?"
I frowned: "I just looked at the river for a while and almost lost it. I'm afraid this is difficult to do."
I looked at Wei Ziqi: "How did Yan Ling get there?"
"Swim over."
Swim over?
It’s hard for me to imagine that Yan Ling would swim over every time.
How did she do it?
If this river leads to the underworld and is connected to the Yellow Spring, how can I possibly cross it with my mortal soul?
"She has been going back and forth to that floating coffin for more than ten years. Don't you want to experience her past experience?"
I looked at the calm river water.
Want to experience it?
No!
This is not the point. The point is that I want to find Yan Ling's human soul.
Gritting my teeth, I looked at Wei Ziqi: "Okay! I believe you once!"
After saying that, I walked out of the room and came to the deck.
Wei Ziqi followed and pointed to the floating coffin: "Don't lose your way. As long as you treat Yan Ling sincerely, you will definitely reach the other side."
I took a deep breath: "I hope you won't lie to me."
After saying that, I jumped up!
Maybe Wei Ziqi is lying to me, but at this time I would rather believe that she is not.
In this unfamiliar place, any clues to save Yan Ling are as precious as life-saving straws to me!
I'm willing to take a gamble on this!
I want to believe that this master who has taken care of Yan Ling for more than ten years did not lie to me!
The moment you enter the water!
I feel like I have entered a bottomless abyss!
Keep sinking! Keep sinking!
I immediately realized something was wrong. The water around me was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly!
Although I don't need to breathe as a soul, this place gave me a strong sense of suffocation.
Instead of rumbling in the water, what I heard was countless noisy sounds, as if there were people everywhere, and everyone was chatting at the top of their lungs.
You can't hear what they are saying at all, all you can hear is endless annoyance!
I want to go up!
I must go up!
I tried hard to adjust my posture and swim upward, but I still couldn't stop sinking. The feeling was very real. I couldn't see anything around me clearly, but I knew I was sinking.
A sense of crazy fear spread in my heart, like ignited gunpowder, out of control.
"...there was a thunderous sound in the sky, leaving a few echoes in the world. Look forward and look towards the sky. Laojun is riding a bull in the sky. A rainbow light is going east. There are beautiful colorful clouds there. Don't panic and don't be upset. You
Open your eyes and look forward at the road. The person who leads the way is in front of you. His small hands are soft and soft. He takes them in your palms and rubs them..."
Suddenly a voice appeared in my mind!
That's Guo Laizi's voice!
He was still singing, and the sound was like a thunderbolt, buzzing in his head.
I just felt that the chaos in front of my eyes dispersed, and the water became translucent.
It just surprised me!
Just around me, countless black shadows surrounded me, pulling me with all kinds of hands and feet!
They came from the bottomless bottom, and they pulled me all the way down!
I was shocked!
