Training Through The Game

Chapter 351: The Ferryman, Going to the Styx

After climbing over the black wall, Lu Yu entered a completely different world.

On the other side of the black wall is a deserted, desolate and foggy place, and on this side of the black wall are brightly lit neighborhoods, densely packed buildings crowded the ground.

Looking at the street full of people in front of him, Lu Yu suspected that he had entered an illusion.

But the facts told him that everything that appeared in front of his eyes was real.

On the streets, all kinds of undead live in harmony, and the prejudice and hatred between races have been thrown away.

They are all people who have already died, what else can we not let go of?

The more important reason is that people in the Netherworld will not die, and the fight is meaningless.

Lu Yu disguised his attire, found a small shop that looked like a shop, and walked in.

Observing the pedestrians coming and going in the street, Lu Yu has almost mastered the language of the soul.

Compared with normal language, the language of the soul is more like exchanging thoughts, and there is no misinterpretation, because what you hear is the clearest meaning of the other party.

This is also the reason why dead spirits of different shapes can live in peace, because there is no obstacle to communication between dead spirits.

Ding dong~ A few rough black coins fell on the table. These coins were made of black soil.

After Lu Yu's observation, he found that the black soil used to make this kind of coins can only be found in the misty land on the other side of the black wall, and there does not seem to be such a substance as black soil here.

As for the black soil on the black wall, those who have the strength bother to do it, and those who have no strength can't do it at all.

Only a foreign smuggler like Lu Yu, with a little special strength, can buckle the black soil from the black wall.

These black earth coins were all made of a black earth coin that he had brought along to make molds and pressed out, and they were exactly the same.

The owner of the shop, seeing the black earth coins on the table, reached out to cover a few black earth coins, put them into his arms, and asked enthusiastically, What do you want?

Lu Yu glanced at the things on the tables of other customers in the store, and said to the shopkeeper, Give me the same one as him.

Okay, you really have a good eye. This is a specialty of our shop. Eating it is very beneficial for repairing the injuries of the soul and body. The shopkeeper praised a few words and said randomly: You sit down first, and I will serve the food right away.

Wait, I have one more question to ask you. Lu Yu knocked on the table, calling to stop the shopkeeper who was about to turn around and leave.

When the shopkeeper heard his voice, he stopped immediately, turned around and looked at Lu Yu with a smile on his face, and said respectfully: You ask, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you everything.

Do you know how to get to Styx? Lu Yu asked straight to the point.

When he asked this sentence, Lu Yu was very nervous, sensing every movement around him, for fear that a single sentence would reveal his flaws.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said: Styx? Are you talking about the mother river?

It's very easy to go to the mother river! As long as you are killed by other people, you will be resurrected in the mother river.

Afterwards, the shopkeeper also realized that Lu Yu didn't ask this question, frowned, and said after a while: If you ask, how to go to Muhe while alive, then I really don't know.

The shopkeeper shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Lu Yu was also taken aback when he heard this, and silently remembered that the aborigines in the nether world called the Styx River the mother river, and after death, they could be resurrected in the mother river.

Since he was resurrected from the mother river, how could he not know the way to the mother river? Have you ever died? Lu Yu asked subconsciously.

The shopkeeper stared at Lu Yu for a while, and said: I have died many times, I think you should have never died! You don't know anything about Muhe.

After coming out of the mother river, I can no longer find the way back to the mother river. No matter what marks are left, it is useless. Unless I die again, I will not be able to enter the mother river.

After speaking, the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, I have heard a rumor.

He glanced around, approached Lu Yu and said in a low voice: I don't know if this rumor is true or not. Some people say that in the small courtyard at the end of Xitian Neighborhood, there lived a ferryman from the mother river, who specially guided those dead mothers in the mother river. Many times, the soul body that has lost its intelligence has entered reincarnation, reincarnated and reborn.

He is in charge of ferrying the mother river. He should know how to get there, right? I mean, don't take it seriously. The ferryman is the most taboo existence for us. If you can avoid it, you should avoid it as much as possible. The shopkeeper He exhorted with lingering fear.

One time when he was resurrected from his mother river, he saw the figure of the ferryman, and he almost thought that he would never come back.

After he came back, he gave up fighting and killing, and opened a small shop with peace of mind, and lived as long as he could until he was tired of living.

After all, he wasn't sure if he would be taken away by the ferryman the next time he died.

...

According to what the shopkeeper said, Lu Yu found Xitian Neighborhood and walked all the way to the end of the neighborhood.

From a long distance, Lu Yu saw the ferryman's courtyard, because it was too conspicuous.

Around the small courtyard of the ferryman, there is an empty area, extremely deserted, no soul body is willing to approach there, and the crowded flow of people will stop here.

Walking out of the crowd, Lu Yu walked towards the ferryman's courtyard.

When he walked past, many pedestrians turned their heads to look at him, looking at him with the eyes of a dead person.

Another thing I can't think about, isn't it good here? You can't get longevity if you practice hard. Anyone can live as long as they want here, and they won't die. Why go to reincarnation? Someone asked puzzled.

Maybe it's related. If you go through the back door, the elders above have already arranged for him. Isn't it more interesting to be alive than to be dead?

Compared with when they were alive, the undead are much less sensitive to various senses, except for pain.

On the contrary, the pain is more sensitive, because they are injured now, and they are all injuries to the soul. Not only are they sensitive, but there is no fainting from pain, only fainting from pain.

That way, there is no chance of resurrection.

Moreover, the nether world is also very barren, which refers to the barrenness of material types, which is far less rich and colorful than the normal world.

It is also very difficult to obtain various special sensory experiences.

There is no sour, sweet, bitter and salty, spicy is unbearable, and there is no smell of smell, smell, rot, and it is difficult to enjoy the pleasure of smell... The nether world is a indifferent world.

Some people can't bear the indifference of the Netherworld, and they will take the initiative to seek death, find the ferryman, and ask him to help send them into reincarnation and reincarnation.

There are also people who are used to it, and have fun in another way, and they won't die anyway, so they can do whatever they want.

In general, the range of neighbors in the Nether World is expanding every moment, because there are always new undead coming to the Nether World. Most of the undead will choose to enter reincarnation after living for a period of time .

This is a world like a paradise.

Although everyone was talking about it, no one stood up to dissuade Lu Yu, because they didn't know whether they would get tired of life here in the next moment and choose to reincarnate.

The driving force that supports them to continue to live here is, to a large extent, that after reincarnation, they are no longer them, and they are truly dead.

Lu Yu walked to the gate of the small courtyard, but before he knocked, the wooden fence gate, which was half a person's height, opened automatically with the sound of a branch.

He paused at the door for a moment, then walked into the small courtyard.

The small courtyard was simply surrounded by fences, but when Lu Yu was outside, he couldn't see clearly the inside of the small courtyard at all, and it was only when he walked in that he could see clearly.

On the left is a small vegetable garden with black soil. There are many plants that Lu Yu has never seen before growing in it. They all look like the characteristics of the Netherworld, with dark colors and special shapes, and none of them are the same.

On the right side are two drying racks with branched tree trunks, on which hangs a slightly worn coir raincoat, which looks like a person hanging on a bamboo pole.

There was no one in the courtyard, Lu Yu walked towards the house, and a sturdy figure came out of the house.

The moment he saw this figure, Lu Yu's image of the ferryman collapsed. In his heart, the ferryman should be a very old man.

Afterwards, Lu Yu came to his senses and substituted himself into the image of a ferryman that often appeared in film and television works and novels.

Let Lu Yu use one word to describe the ferryman in front of him, that is-bald and muscled.

That's right, not only was the ferryman not an old man, he was also a burly bald man with muscles that Lu Yu had no doubt that he could kill a cow with one punch.

The ferryman glanced at Lu Yu, walked towards the vegetable garden, and said casually, Looking for death? Wait first.

Lu Yu was a little speechless when he heard the words. Do all people in the Netherworld talk like this?

Since it was the language of the soul, Lu Yu did not misunderstand what the ferryman said.

If normal people talked like this, they would probably have already started a fight, but here at the ferryman, are you courting death? Just a simple greeting.

The ferryman picked a vegetable at random from the vegetable garden, and after pulling it up, Lu Yu discovered that this vegetable was grown with a soul body.

Half of the soul body was still dragging at the bottom of the dish, and the ferryman picked it up casually, and the black mud on the dish fell, and half of the soul body was rubbed into the dish by him.

Crunching~ The ferryman ate the soul body and the vegetables grown from the black soil in two or three bites, walked to the drying rack, took off the coir raincoat, put it on his body, and walked towards Lu Yu.

Randomly rubbing the soul and body, the big hand grabbed Lu Yu, and the ferryman said casually, It's on the road.

Facing the palm grabbed by the ferryman, Lu Yu faintly felt that his soul was about to leave his body, as if it wanted to fly into his palm.

His body exudes a shining light, like a piece of jade, firmly fixing his soul in the body.

Lu Yu took a step back, avoiding the ferryman's grasping hand.

The ferryman was stunned, withdrew his hand, looked Lu Yu carefully, and said in surprise, You are not dead!

Hearing this, Lu Yu frowned. He didn't expect his identity to be exposed so easily, and a killing intent sprouted in his heart.

The ferryman shook his head and said, Take care of my woolen business. I only care about the dead. If you are not dead, get out of the way. I still have work to do.

Hearing what the ferryman said, the killing intent in Lu Yu's heart gradually disappeared, and the ferryman seemed not to want to be his enemy.

After the ferryman put on his coir raincoat, he walked towards the gate. Lu Yu hurriedly followed and called to stop the ferryman, Wait a minute, I have something to do with you.

The ferryman stopped, turned around strangely, and asked, What can you do with me?

I'm going to the mother river. Lu Yu looked at the ferryman and said seriously.

The ferryman was stunned for a moment, feeling a little funny, and said, Aren't you courting death?

It's already very dangerous for you to enter the Netherworld as a stowaway. I don't know how you remain undead in the Netherworld, but if you dare to go to the Styx, you will die.

The ferryman raised his hand, waved it, turned and left, and said, Don't waste my time, if you want to die, you can find out here.

What do you want to take me to Styx? Lu Yu asked calmly when he saw that the ferryman was unwilling.

The ferryman stopped again, thinking that Lu Yu was very interesting, turned around and looked at Lu Yu curiously, You want to die that much?

It's not that I want to die, it's that I have a reason to go to Styx. Lu Yu said.

Seeing the seriousness in Lu Yu's eyes, the ferryman hesitated for a moment and said, That's fine. If you can bring me three hundred catties of Netherland, I'll take you to the Styx River.

Lu Yu glanced at the vegetable garden in his yard, pointed to the sparse black soil in the vegetable garden and said, This is it?

En. The ferryman nodded.

Three hundred catties of Netherland, exchanged for black earth coins, almost 15,000 pieces, most of the dead souls only have dozens of black earth coins on their bodies, even if it is the shopkeeper who opened the shop, the number of black earth coins in his hand is estimated to not exceed 500 pieces.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so excited when he saw the three black earth coins thrown by Lu Yu.

Lu Yu doesn't know the use of the black soil coins for the dead, but judging from the situation in the ferryman's yard, the underworld soil for casting black soil coins is likely to be an important resource for planting plants in the Netherworld.

The black soil is also called the dark soil, so it seems more appropriate to call the black soil coin the dark coin.

Asking Lu Yu to take out three hundred catties of Netherland was not because the ferryman was embarrassing Lu Yu, but because if there was less Netherland, it would be useless.

Three hundred catties was already his minimum requirement.

The ferryman estimated that it would take Lu Yu a lot of time to earn three hundred catties of Netherland from other dead spirits. He turned around and prepared to leave again, and said as he walked, Whenever you bring enough Netherland, I will do whatever you want. time to take you there.

Shashasha~ A large amount of Netherland poured out from Lu Yu's storage ring and piled up into a hill on the ground.

As soon as the ferryman's voice fell, he heard the movement behind him, stopped in his footsteps, and without turning his head, he could feel that the voice behind him was Netherland, more than three hundred catties of Netherland.

Lu Yu looked at the ferryman who turned around and asked, Is this enough?

At his feet was a half-person-high mound of Nether soil, all of which were fresh, fresh Nether soil that had just been transported from the other side of the black wall.

Of course, Lu Yu didn't have nothing to do to dig the soil. He dug out these ghost soil when he was riding the snail elevator.

Didn't expect it to come in handy now.

The ferryman looked at the piles of Netherland, and his eyes were a little excited. With a wave of his hand, all the Netherland was scattered into mud and filled into his vegetable garden. The vegetables were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fresh soil from outside is more nutritious. The ferryman said with emotion when he saw the thriving vegetables.

Did you come from the black wall? the ferryman looked at Lu Yu and asked.

Lu Yu nodded, Yes.

It seems that you are lucky, and you were not eaten by those things in the mist. The ferryman said.

Lu Yu frowned and asked, What's there?

The ferryman waved his hand and said, I don't know either. Anyway, it's dangerous over there. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent all the Netherland here to build a black wall that separates the Netherworld.

Let's go, since you brought me enough Netherland, it's time for me to fulfill my promise. The ferryman stood at the door and said.

The ferryman stretched out his hand to open the fence door. Lu Yu heard the sound of water waves outside the fence door. He looked up, and the world outside the door turned into a boundless black water.

The ferryman stood at the door, looked at Lu Yu with interest in his eyes, and said, The Styx River is right in front of your eyes, do you still want to go?

For the sake of the extra three hundred catties of Netherland you gave me, let me remind you that if you touch the water of the Styx River, you will die, your body will be turned into bones, and your soul will be assimilated by the Styx River.

I know. Lu Yu said, without hesitation, he walked straight into the door opened by the ferryman.

Seeing Lu Yu walk in, the ferryman immediately smiled, went in, and closed the courtyard door.
