"Brother, the ship is coming!" Xiao Hei looked at Li Xiuyuan and finally shouted.

"Quack, quack! The ship is coming, get on board!" Even the crows couldn't help it, and chased after the distant divine ship.

In this way, divine ships kept coming by the River Styx, sarcophagi kept flying onto the divine ships, and there were even copper coffins and gold coffins.

Xiao Hei was dumbfounded, sitting on Li Xiuyuan's sleeves for a long time speechless.

"Don't worry, let them go first!" Li Xiuyuan sighed, he didn't want to fight with the dead.

Amidst the whining sounds, one after another, countless divine ships left the ferry, and more zombies and sarcophagi fell into the River Styx, never to ascend to heaven forever.

"Dang! Dang!" sounded, and the ferry looked extremely eerie under the moonlight.

Li Xiuyuan took out the gong tied to his waist and struck it time and time again.

The clear sound of gongs broke through the void, and the night seemed to turn into a black hole.

Time and space were instantly pierced by the sound of gongs.

In the sound of gongs, time and space all turned into nothingness.

Even some zombies standing on the shore who could not get on the boat turned their heads and disappeared into the darkness the moment they heard the gong.

It seems that as long as the gong sounds again, they will suddenly turn into nothingness, without even a chance to disappear into ashes.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Hei, who was standing behind Li Xiuyuan, couldn't help but take a breath of air.

Brother, it's so terrifying. The sound of this gong can penetrate even time and space, turning it into ashes.

It seems that his master is the most powerful person in Shenlong Valley.

Even the zombies guarding the ferry immediately retreated into their caves, no longer waiting for the shore to grab the last divine ship.

There is no doubt that they are very afraid of the young man dressed in cloth and holding a gong.

Looking at the disappearing divine ship, Li Xiuyuan sighed softly in his heart and said: "It turns out that there really is a Netherworld River between heaven and earth."

Woohoo! There was a dark wind on the ground, and a cloud floated in the sky, covering half of the full moon.

Xiao Hei looked up to the river but was stunned. At some point, another divine ship floated over from the ferry.

"It's time for us to get on board."

When he saw the last divine ship floating towards him, Li Xiuyuan said quietly.

There was a huffing sound, and without Li Xiuyuan's instructions, Xiao Hei instantly transformed into a crow, standing obediently on Li Xiuyuan's shoulder.

"Brother, be careful, Xiao Hei will go with you."

"Little crow!" Li Xiuyuan reached out and touched Xiao Hei's feathers and said softly: "Don't fly around when you get on the boat. No matter what happens, you don't need to take action!"

"Let's go, let's go find the magic stone for the master!"

Xiao Hei was very cool, he yelled loudly, lay on Li Xiuyuan's shoulder and walked towards the last divine ship.

At the last moment, several more silver coffins flew in from nowhere, trying to compete for the last divine ship.

Li Xiuyuan vigorously struck the gong in his hand, and at the same time shouted: "Get out of here..."

I saw streaks of golden light flying out from the gong, knocking away all the flying silver coffins, and Li Xiuyuan stepped onto the divine ship step by step.

"Guagua, we succeeded." Xiao Hei shouted several times happily.

Li Xiuyuan said to Jingjing: "Don't worry, everything has just begun!"

The divine ship slowly left the ferry, and the silver coffins left on the shore also flew away.

The place where the gods are buried will disappear soon. If you don't leave now, it might disappear without a trace along with the faint river Styx.

Xiao Hei looked up at the faint River Styx, and could see nothing, only the vast mist, and he didn't know where it was drifting.

It was a vast expanse, and nothing could be seen. The previous divine ship had already drifted away, and the two of them could not see anything.

There is only one divine ship floating on the River Styx between heaven and earth. There is only this divine ship for two people on this vast and endless river, as if all the divine ships that left before have disappeared!

On the sacred ship, Xiao Hei jumped off Xiu Xiuyuan's shoulders and lay aside waiting for his brother to boil water and make tea.

Li Xiuyuan sat quietly in the boat and silently took out something to make tea and put it on the table.

He didn't know where the boat was going, let alone how many days and nights it would float... In the long night, the best way was to make a pot of spiritual tea and read Buddhist scriptures.

"If you are sleepy, just lie next to me and sleep."

Touching Xiao Hei's feathers, Li Xiuyuan thought that Xiao Hei had obtained the last divine spring in the Dragon Continent, and had unknowingly obtained the inheritance of the crow.

Is it possible that one day it will turn into an ancient three-legged golden crow?

Just like Xiao Long'er and Long Hongchen, they directly skipped the body of the divine dragon and turned against the ancestor into the ancestral dragon?

It’s interesting. It seems that I won’t be lonely when I conquer the vast starry sky by myself.

…

There is no time in the divine ship, and it seems to have been drifting on the Netherworld River.

I don’t know how many years I have drifted, but there seems to be no time and no space on the Netherworld River...

"Xiao Hei, I hope we can find the divine stone for Master this time, but we must not be trapped here forever."

Li Xiuyuan caressed Xiao Hei, who had fallen asleep, and murmured to himself.

The divine ship is floating on the River Styx. There is no sky and no earth here, and time seems to have stopped at a certain node.

According to the legend of Shenlong Continent, the divine ship will eventually float to the deepest part of the God Burial Land.

However, no one has ever verified it. No one knows where the Styx River ended up flowing. Even if someone entered the God Burial Land, they never returned to the Divine Dragon Continent.

Xiao Hei fell into a deep sleep after drinking a few cups of spiritual tea on the boat.

Li Xiuyuan was sitting in the divine ship, quietly reading and reciting Buddhist scriptures, and operating the phaseless golden body and mind method. I saw a faint Buddha's light rising from his body, quietly wrapping around him.

A ray of Buddha's light is like an annual ring, and like a sword of time, it separates Li Xiuyuan's blood from his body one by one.

His annual rings were in the Prajna Temple and entered the Sansheng Stone, but they never made him grow old.

At this moment, the Sansheng Stone appeared out of nowhere and was quietly held in his hand.

On the Sansheng Stone, there is a black and white yin and yang power that quietly emanates and spreads over the Netherworld.

After a while, the crows transformed into Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Hei tightly enveloped them.

The annual rings kept rotating, and Li Xiuyuan's blood flowed quietly, eventually disappearing into the vast Netherworld River.

Xiao Hei, who transformed into a crow, has not changed at all, but Li Xiuyuan, who is sitting quietly on the ground, is getting older day by day.

It seems that one day is a year, no, it should be said to be ten years.

I don't know how much time passed, but Li Xiuyuan, who fell into the boat, put down the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, held up a flower with his left hand, and spread his right hand out, as if he was a Bodhisattva on the Buddhist altar.

However, the Bodhisattva on the altar is also getting older.

The white of his head gradually turned from black to white, every inch of his hair turned white, and deep wrinkles appeared on his face. The shallow wrinkles eventually turned into countless ravines...

I don't know when his teeth started falling out.

The tall and straight waist has to be bent again and again, just like an old tree in the desert, it will fall down at any time and turn into dust.

At some point, blood-eating insects appeared on the divine ship. Like ants, they burrowed into Li Xiuyuan's body from his feet, which were beginning to rot.

These blood-eating insects not only devoured his flesh and blood, but also devoured all the dragon's blood and Buddha's blood in his body.

As a result, there was only a white skeleton lying on the ground on the divine ship.

The faint wind of time blows by, and even these white bones are gradually getting older. Only the crows beside the white bones have not changed at all.

Moreover, some of the energy, blood, and even life span that passed away from the bones turned into little bits of starlight and quietly sank into the crow's body.

As a result, the sleeping crow began to change, and its feathers evolved from gray-black to dark black.

Finally, a gust of wind passed by, turning the rotten bones on the boat into a puff of fly ash, which blew into the vast River Styx.

But the feathers of the sleeping crow are getting brighter and brighter.

Even some of the feathers on the wings have turned bright gold.

The wind passed by the divine ship, taking away the Bodhisattva who turned into dust, and also took away Li Xiuyuan who grew from a young man to a middle-aged man... until he grew old.

There was only one lotus seed left beside the crow, a green lotus seed.

I don’t know how much time passed, but it began to rain lightly in the sky... However, the drizzle failed to wet the sleeping crow.

Because there is an invisible Buddha light on its head, which tightly covers the sleeping crow.

Don't let it be blown by wind or rain, don't let it be eroded by the River Styx, don't let it lose its annual rings.

The lotus seeds on the boat began to sprout under the moisture of the rain, and the first leaves grew...

Then, a beam of sunlight fell from the sky and shone quietly on the budding green lotus.

Sunshine, rain and dew, a gust of breeze blowing... the green lotus is slowly growing taller and taking root, and the roots as thin as filaments penetrate the extremely hard divine ship.

Quietly submerged into the River Styx, quietly absorbing the endless power of life in the River Styx.

The green lotus grows slowly in the sunshine, rain and dew, and densely packed growth rings appear one after another on the lotus leaves, like the water of the Styx, endless.
To be continued...
