As they approached, the noise of people gradually became clearer.

"There are a lot of people ahead, are they on the ferry...?"

Ye Ximu said in surprise.

In her eyes, the so-called yin world and yang world are different, but the difference is not big.The surroundings are bright, but it can't be described as sunny, like a long cloudy day in winter.There are no tall buildings in the city here, except for rivers and desolate rocky beaches, there is nothing, not even weeds, but this does not seem to be unusual.

At this time, what appeared in front of my eyes was probably a ferry, and many people were crowded in the dark on the river bank, waiting to board the boat.The boat was not a large ferry boat that is more common nowadays, but the simplest wooden boat, with a very narrow body and two ends raised high, looking from a distance, it looked like a willow leaf floating on the water.Standing at one end of the boat was a man dressed in black, with a bamboo hat hanging low, his eyes and nose could not be seen clearly, he looked like a ferryman.

The boat is small and can accommodate three or four people at most.After it was full of people, the ferryman gently tapped the long bamboo pole on the bank, and the boat left the bank and drifted slowly to the opposite bank.

In this way, there are so many people on the shore, and I don’t know when they will be able to finish the load.

However, apart from those waiting for the boat, there were some people beside them who simply jumped into the river, probably wanting to swim directly to the other side.

Listening to Ye Ximu's description, Liu Yinqi was at a loss. She could only see some shaking figures through the faint light of the fire.

"This is the River of Forgetfulness. Crossing this river is the real underworld." Ye Ximu said, leading them closer, "I have been here many times, but it is only to this border. carry the living."

When you get closer, you can see more clearly, and you can even almost pass by those people on the shore, but they are not human, but

It should be called a ghost. Several times, Liu Yinqi passed through the head and arms of a certain ghost, but the other ghost was still unconscious.

Ye Yi explained that what she was lighting with the torch in her hand was the Samadhi fire, just like the underworld is dark in the eyes of living people, but in the eyes of ghosts, this fire light is like an inconspicuous shadow, as long as they are surrounded by the fire light , it will not be found.As for Ye Ximu being able to see them, it was because Liu Yinqi was carrying her natal bell.

Only now did Liu Yinqi understand why Ye Yihui said that with this brass bell, Ye Ximu would not stay away from being lost.

The ghosts on the shore have different deaths, and most of them have a dazed expression. They huddle together on the shore like a flock of sheep that have lost their leader. Squeezing forward, and throwing gold and silver ingots into the cabin, this scene seems to have a strange sense of absurdity. Scenes.

And the ferryman had probably been used to it for a long time, so he didn't respond. He just tapped the few people who were crowded in the front with a bamboo pole, signaling them to get on the boat.

"You also go by boat." Ye said to Ye Ximu, this was the first sentence she said to her after entering the underworld.While speaking, Ye Yi took out a stack of banknotes out of nowhere, said something silently, and then set the flame on the torch to burn.The banknotes were instantly engulfed by the blue flames and turned into ashes.

Before Ye Ximu could react, he found that he had a wad of money in his hand.

"..."

Although she knew that the tradition of burning paper money had its reasons, but when it actually happened to her, she still felt a bit magical.

But she didn't say anything about it, just asked, "Then how do you cross the river?"

"Go over." Ye Yi replied.

#####

Ye Yi blessed Ye Ximu with a spell, so that other ghosts who touched her would feel a pain like being pricked by a needle, similar to the soft hedgehog armor in martial arts novels. The bustling ghosts ran unimpeded and overbearing, and easily got on the boat, while the other ghosts on the same boat shivered and huddled together, not daring to approach at all, as pitiful as they could be.The ferryman didn't care, as if he didn't notice anything unusual, he sailed as usual.

After confirming that Ye Ximu had boarded the boat, Ye Yi led Liu Yinqi to continue walking towards the shore, and now they finally saw the Wangchuan River.

"Let's go." Ye Yi said, stepping into the water step by step.

"Uh, I can't swim..." Liu Yinqi was a little dumbfounded.

"Even if you can swim, it's useless. The water of Wangchuan, except for the boat made by the undead and the trunk of the Santu tree, even feathers can't float." Ye didn't even look back, "You follow me, catch Hold the rope."

She tied the torch to her head, which looked a bit funny, but it was also convenient for her to free up her hands, so that she would not be drowned by the water.

Liu Yinqi was stunned for a moment, and after looking around for a long time, he realized that there was a thin transparent rope tied to a boulder on the bank. the end.

This rope across the Wangchuan River is the result of Ye Yi's many visits to the underworld.

She spent a lot of time learning a little bit about the underworld, including the characteristics of this river.So after she rescued a ghost, she asked it to bring this unique rope when crossing the river, and fix the other end on the opposite bank, so that a channel was built on the river.The rope was low, mostly submerged in water, and she had checked several times to make sure that no ghost would find or destroy the rope.

The river was icy cold, Liu Yinqi couldn't help shivering when she stepped in, but she continued to walk forward, the river gradually overflowed her knees and chest, she grasped the rope tightly, her feet followed Can no longer step on the ground.

Although this Forgotten River does not seem to be much different from ordinary rivers at first glance, when one is in it, one can clearly find the difference.Especially the fact that the river water can't even float feathers, she has really experienced it now.Although most of her body was submerged in the river at this time, she didn't feel any buoyancy, and she was completely supported by the rope. The thin rope made her worry about it all the time. Will it break suddenly.Thanks to her good health, she was able to rely on her arm strength to move along the rope.

But it was very tiring after all, coupled with the turbulence of the river, and after moving more than ten meters, Liu Yinqi couldn't hold on anymore.

At this time Liu Yinqi raised his head and called Ye Yi to let her wait for him, and suddenly found some bright light spots on the body of Ye Yi who was walking in front, and those shining light spots were scattered in the water, like a reflection in the water Scattered moonlight came out, and then those light spots were quickly taken away by the flowing water.

"What is this?" Liu Yinqi asked, she subconsciously glanced at her side, only to find that there were some similar scattered light spots around her, but not as many as Ye Yi's side.

"It's obsession." Ye Yi glanced back at her, stopped and waited for her, "The river of Wangchuan will take away the most indelible obsession in the soul, but it has relatively little impact on living people."

Ye Yi took a light breath, Liu Yinqi noticed that her face was too pale.

"The souls who don't have the money to cross the river by boat often have to swim across the river of forgetfulness. The obsessions precipitated from their souls will condense into lumps, which will be gradually washed into boulders by the river water, and then piled up into river beaches."

"...Is it so miserable in the underworld if you don't have money?" Liu Yinqi felt that his three views were a little bit burst.

"No, generally only lonely and wild ghosts who have no one to worship will have no money for boating. This kind of ghosts often have deep obsessions and are very likely to become evil spirits. This is also to maintain the order and stability of the underworld. .”

Ye Yi explained.

But even though she said that the river water has little effect on living people, the light spots scattered around her became more violent, as if she would melt into the river water in the next second.

Is this because Ye Yi's obsession is already too heavy?

Liu Yinqi thought so.

Although she stopped to rest, she felt that her physical strength was still not fully recovered, and her whole body was cold, almost freezing.But she still forced herself to continue to climb the rope and move forward.It's not good for Ye Yi to stay in this river for a long time.

They moved forward silently, and finally they could vaguely see the opposite bank.

Suddenly, something fell out of Ye Yi's arms, and was swept away by the river in an instant, rushing downstream.

Before Liu Yinqi could react, she saw Ye Yi let go of the rope, and rushed over, trying to grab the thing.The rapids carried her downstream, and at the same time she was sinking rapidly.

The torch was submerged by the river, and the precious light disappeared instantly.

It was pitch black again.

The author has something to say: no money is miserable everywhere. 【Hello
