"What is that?" Xiao Fan frowned and looked at the withered hand crawling outside.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said: "Don't worry, he will come out later."
After a while, an old man with a withered body that looked like bones crawled out of the grave.
He also held a soul-calling flag in his hand. He limped to the two of them and said with a smile: "You two, that's where you want to go, right?"
Xiao Fan had some doubts. Could this old man, half of his body buried in the soil, really take them there?
"Yes, that's us." the old Taoist priest replied.
The old man stretched out his hand and said, "Easy to say, the customs clearance fee is 10 million per person."
Xiao Fan was a little confused. Does this guy charge so much?
He turned to look at the old Taoist priest next to him, obviously asking him why you didn't tell me before that the fee was so expensive.
The old Taoist priest shrugged: "Don't look at me, I am a pauper and I still have to count on you."
Xiao Fan was speechless. No wonder this old guy was willing to bring him here. He did it for a long time because he had no money.
There is no way, although the price is indeed a bit expensive, but now I can only pay the money honestly.
After paying the money, the old man said: "Follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the grave.
Although it looks a bit eerie, Xiao Fan can only believe this old man now.
He and the old Taoist priest followed the old man to the bottom of the grave.
Xiao Fan saw the old man pushing away the coffin.
When the coffin board was opened, Xiao Fan saw that there was a ladder under the coffin, which was obviously a passage.
"Follow me closely, I won't be responsible if you get lost later." The old man said and climbed down the ladder.
Then Xiao Fan followed the old Taoist priest and climbed down the ladder.
This ladder was a bit long, and Xiao Fan climbed with them for about ten minutes without seeing the bottom.
"How long is this ladder?" Xiao Fan asked.
The old man replied from below: "Soon."
Xiao Fan had no choice but to continue climbing down.
After another seven or eight minutes, Xiao Fan finally heard other noises below.
"The sound of water?" Xiao Fan was a little surprised when he heard the sound.
He felt that they were at least a hundred meters underground now. Is there actually water down there?
After a while, they finally followed the ladder to the bottom.
After Xiao Fan landed, he looked at the eerie, dark and misty river in front of him. He frowned slightly and said, "Why does this water look weird? It seems to be full of evil spirits."
The old man grinned and showed his broken teeth: "You are right, this is the River Styx."
"Styx?" Xiao Fan was a little confused after hearing this.
At this time, a ship suddenly came out of the fog.
Xiao Fan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that there was no one on the boat.
"Can this boat get out on its own without anyone at the helm?" Xiao Fan asked in surprise.
The old man waved, and the boat slowly came to them.
"You two, I have to tell you the rules before uploading. You'd better not look under the boat later. If you accidentally see something being pulled down, don't worry. I didn't remind you." The old man reminded you.
road.
Xiao Fan: "What? Are there water ghosts in your Styx River?"
The old man smiled and made an invitation: "Come aboard, you two."
The old Taoist priest walked up first. After he went up, he invited Xiao Fan: "Come on, little brother, don't worry, I'm here, I promise I won't trick you."
Xiao Fan was about to go up, but when he heard this, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. It was because of the presence of an unscrupulous Taoist like you that he was a little scared. This old guy might leave him behind halfway.
Xiao Fan glanced at him and walked up. He came to him and said, "Even if something happens later, I will hold you together to support you."
The old Taoist priest laughed heartily.
Then, the old man punted the boat and took the two of them inside.
Because this is already deep underground, there is no sunlight at all down here. The only light is the dark yellow copper lamp hanging on the bow of the ship.
Xiao Fan looked around. At this time, they were in a fog, and he couldn't tell the direction at all.
He asked the old man driving the boat with some worry: "Are you sure you won't look in the wrong direction in such a heavy fog? I can't see the road."
The old man replied: "Don't worry, I have been sailing here all my life. I know how to get there even if I close my eyes."
Although Xiao Fan saw that he seemed to be swearing, he was still a little worried in his heart.
The old Taoist priest on the side smiled and advised: "Little brother, just relax, he will definitely take us there safely."
Xiao Fan looked at the River Styx under the boat. He was a little confused: "This should be hundreds of meters underground, right? Why is there such a big underground river down here?"
The old Taoist priest smiled and asked: "Don't you realize that this river is different from other rivers outside?"
Xiao Fan took a general look: "This river seems to be stagnant, like a pool of stagnant water, and there is a deep yin energy in the river."
The old Taoist priest nodded: "You are right, this River Styx is indeed not an ordinary river. Most of the water in this river is made up of corpse water."
Xiao Fan was stunned: "Corpse water?"
Old Taoist Priest: "Yes, this is why you feel that there is a lot of Yin Qi here. Perhaps it is more accurate to put it another way. This river is not Yin Qi, but corpse Qi."
Xiao Fan frowned as he looked at the river. No wonder he felt something was wrong as soon as he saw the river. He didn't expect that the river was actually made of corpse water.
"But the river looks very wide. How many people must die to gather such a big river?"
Old Taoist priest: "Three hundred thousand."
Xiao Fan was stunned on the spot. Three hundred thousand? So many people died here!?
"This..." Xiao Fan was shocked and speechless for a moment.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps like iron hoofs coming from below the river.
Xiao Fan heard the footsteps and looked over subconsciously.
When he saw the scene in the river, he was dumbfounded. There was an ancient army walking under the river!
Xiao Fan couldn't believe it, there was actually an ancient army down here!?
At this moment, the army suddenly stopped and they all turned to look at Xiao Fan.
Whoa! In an instant, Xiao Fan felt as if he was locked by thousands of eyes, and his whole body seemed unable to move.
The leader of the guard saw Xiao Fan looking at them, his eyes darkened, and his eyes were as black as jet ink.
His eyes seemed to suck Xiao Fan's entire soul.
Xiao Fan gradually felt as if something was about to be extracted from his body. He couldn't even control it anymore, and his body gradually fell overboard...
