Chapter 332 The ferryman has deep routines, auspicious days, auspicious times
At the edge of the rushing river, Qin Yang squatted on the bank, looking at the river, his face full of contemplation.
The things that need to be done have been done. Senior Haili's body has been found. We are waiting to go back and check the almanac to calculate the auspicious day and time to touch the body.
As for what else is there, Qin Yang is no longer prepared to participate.
Although when I left, I looked at the copper pillar that was at least a hundred miles thick and felt full of reluctance...
However, it was of no use. If you left it there for him to take, he wouldn't be able to take it away.
It's really too big...
Of course, it was because he was afraid that the crazy ancestor would regain consciousness, so he said "Who are you? Oh, Qin Yang? I don't know you", and then casually slapped him to death.
So, Qin Yang actually wanted to rub the hearth stone, oh no, he used the Sun Moon Star Shuttle to go directly.
The reason why it was useless and instead used the escape light method to fly away was purely because the hearth stone was completely useless.
If a world is equivalent to a giant tree, then countless secret realms are just leaves. You can use the sun, moon and star shuttle to jump from one leaf to the trunk, or even to another leaf, but you cannot jump to others.
On the tree.
However, this broken place is like another tree being broken. One of the fragments fell on the "tree" where Qin Yang was. You can walk in along the contact place, but it is useless to use the sun, moon and star shuttle.
.
This also reminded Qin Yang that he should have noticed this long ago since he already knew the method and restrictions of its use.
In the future, when going to other places, you must first be prepared that the hearthstone cannot be used.
so……
Qin Yang is now facing a very serious problem.
He can't go back...
"Boatman, I understand that you have to pay for a boat ride. The question is, why could you pay with a round light suit before, but not now?"
Qin Yang tried to reason with the ferryman, but the ferryman stood there motionless and did not even look at him.
Qin Yang refused to give up and tried to throw the round light suit again, but was stopped by an invisible force and couldn't throw it in at all.
Qin Yang sat on the ground with a long face.
So careless.
In the end, Ying Ming was tricked by a ferryman who looked like a robot.
I was quite happy before, and I felt a little proud. The ferryman was too rigid. If he didn't accept foreign currency, he would only accept money from the ancient underworld. If you don't have money, you can use things from the ancient underworld to pay the bill.
However, he can continuously make a round light suit, which is equivalent to being a personal money printing machine, and he is not short of money.
But now I understand that the ferryman also knows that rare things are more valuable, and if they are overproduced, they will depreciate in value.
The same thing that was credited to the account was only charged once.
How can I go back?
Qin Yang did not give up and tried many things again. All the things in the collection whose origins were uncertain were taken out to try. What if there was something from the ancient underworld and valuable?
Unfortunately, the reality is cruel, and the ferryman will not accept anything.
Qin Yang gritted his teeth and took out the Dark Night Epiphyllum with only four petals left on his face.
This thing is 100% a product of the ancient underworld, and it is definitely priceless.
The ferryman, who had been frozen there, as motionless as the stone statue, finally turned his head and stared at the Dark Night Epiphyllum in Qin Yang's hand.
Qin Yang decisively took a few steps back to protect the flower.
"What are you looking at? Why? Are you ready to rob me?"
Qin Yang looked at the ferryman warily, thinking about the previous prison officer. Whatever he wanted to do seemed to be within the scope of the rules. After all, according to the rules of the ancient underworld, the prison officer would punish anyone who entered here without permission.
Kill him directly, absolutely correct.
But I have never heard of a ferryman switching his career to driving a black ship...
"It's impossible to think of it all. A piece of petal is a huge amount of hard currency for you. It's enough for me to live in you for eighteen hundred years. It's a fair trade. You have to give me change and collect your collection."
Take it out and let me see what's there first."
The ferryman stared at the petals in Qin Yang's hand, and without hesitation stretched out his finger, and something suddenly changed in the wooden box that penetrated.
When Qin Yang looked up, he saw that the space in the wooden box had become very huge, and there were a lot of messy things inside.
With just one glance, Qin Yang saw something familiar inside.
The heads and tails of snakes are all strange snakes with heads...
Isn't it just a sinister beast?
The reason why I saw it at a glance was simply because there was such a guy jumping around and dancing happily among a bunch of still dead things. It was impossible not to notice it.
Qin Yang stared at it for a long time, wondering in his heart, could it be that the crazy ancestor was mistakenly told before that there is a family of sinister beasts in the Black Forest Sea? He has eaten several of them?
But the more I looked at it, the more I felt that this Yintan beast looked familiar, although from a human perspective, all Yintan beasts should look like a bird.
The ferryman seemed to notice Qin Yang's gaze, and stretched out his hand, and the Yinni beast from the wooden box flew out and landed in his hand.
The two heads of the Yintan beast were entangled, and its four eyes were staring at Qin Yang, their eyes communicating wildly.
"Save me, help me get out of here. I told you not to come here, I'll die. That crazy old man insisted on catching me here, and even took my shipping fee. Save me quickly. I promise you whatever you say.
Just don’t leave me to this guy!”
Qin Yang moved his eyes away and was completely sure that this was the Yinbi beast that escaped before. This unlucky guy should have followed him honestly. He was afraid of death. In the end, he fell into the hands of the crazy ancestor.
…
"You are actually a creature from the ancient underworld, right?"
"That's right, save me quickly, I can do anything you ask me to do..."
"Accept me as your master, follow me from now on, and I will save you. Do you see what I have in my hand? An Ye You Epiphyllum, do you think you are worth a petal? Even if you accept me as your master, I still have to keep it.
You, it was me who lost in the end, but I am a kind-hearted person, so we are destined at least..."
"Stop talking, I promise you." The Yintan beast almost cried, and fell into the hands of the ferryman. It was a life worse than death...
Qin Yang nodded with satisfaction and looked at the ferryman.
"This snake, let me look at the others."
The ferryman shook his head, raised the Yinni beast and handed it to Qin Yang.
Qin Yang's face darkened. This guy was taking advantage of others' misfortune. Thanks to his honesty, he treated everyone as an honest person.
I wanted to haggle again and see if I wanted two more, but who would have thought that the wooden box on the bow of the boat had returned to its original state, and only some scattered coins could be seen inside...
Qin Yang calmed down and persuaded himself that the few remaining petals were of little use anyway. At most, they could be used as top elixirs. The effect of the flesh and white bones of the living dead was impossible. One more petal and one less.
, it has no impact, it’s just a bit more expensive...
"Okay, I'll suffer a big loss, I want this snake."
After saying this, three big words flashed through Qin Yang's mind: Big loss.
After thinking about it, I guess it's impossible to get the ferryman to come up with anything else, but it can't be so cheap.
Then I thought that the Crazy Ancestor seemed to be still behind. Since the Crazy Ancestor used the Yinbi Beast to pay the bill, he must have no money to pay the bill, so wouldn't he be trapped here?
"One more thing. If the old man who came by boat comes back, don't charge him for the boat fare. Isn't that a problem?"
This time the ferryman nodded happily.
He picked off a petal and threw it into a wooden box, and the Yintan beast was released by the ferryman.
This guy was so frightened that he jumped onto Qin Yang's wrist. After wrapping it around him for a few times, he kept trembling.
Qin Yang felt that it should not just be treated as a collection by the ferryman, otherwise it would not be frightened like this.
As the lone boat sailed on the endless river, Qin Yang stared at the Yinni beast and sighed in his heart, it was a loss.
If I don't have only the dark night epiphyllum in my body, I can pay for the ticket, and one petal cannot be separated.
If I hadn't been kind-hearted and nostalgic...
If it were anyone else, how could he ask the Yintan Beast as change?
Silently sinking his consciousness into his body, he began to study the skill book he had touched on the Yin soldiers before.
Although it is white, it is still a secret technique.
The secret technique of enslaving living beings.
It's completely useless, because the creatures to be enslaved are the creatures of the ancient underworld, and they can only be used by weak chickens. Those who are slightly stronger must be surrendered.
But if you take the initiative to hold back and surrender, your secret technique will be of no use.
No wonder it is a white skill book.
But now, after a little practice, Qin Yang condensed a rune in his consciousness.
As soon as I thought about it, runes appeared on my fingertips.
"Come, come here, I'll give you a stamp."
The Yinni Beast felt the runes and naturally knew what they were. It wrapped it around Qin Yang's wrist without moving, and asked Qin Yang to tap on each of his two heads.
In an instant, Qin Yang could feel a connection emerging, and he could now control the Yinbi Beast easily.
You can even feel the fear in the heart of the evil beast, the fear of the ferryman.
Not long after, the boat arrived at the other side. Qin Yang stepped ashore, bowed his hand to the ferryman, turned around and left.
The ferryman, however, did not leave directly like last time. Instead, he looked at Qin Yang's retreating back and remained motionless for a long time.
After landing on the shore, the Yinni beast seemed to be resurrected with full blood. It no longer trembled. Two heads poked out from Qin Yang's sleeves, looking around with evil eyes. After a while, it jumped to the ground again, jumping sideways.
Walk……
"Little snake, I have suffered a big loss this time. An Ye You Epiphyllum, An Ye You Epiphyllum that is still in full bloom, is my life. Now it is exchanged for you. You must remember it clearly..."
"Understood, I will bite whoever you ask me to bite."
The Yinni beast was very wise, which made Qin Yang feel a lot better.
This is the most losing business I have made in a long time. It can even be said that it is the only losing business.
What a stain on life.
After leaving the Black Forest Sea all the way, Qin Yang found a city, got into the inn, locked himself in, studied the right time, place and people, looked for any geomantic treasures nearby, and then studied auspicious days and auspicious times...
Oh, I also need to make some new incense sticks or something.
Didn't someone say that touching a corpse still requires a sense of ritual?
…
On the other side, the crazy ancestor drank half a bowl of soup, and a trace of yin energy steamed out of his body, and all the old and new injuries in his body recovered quickly.
The consciousness was confused due to damage to the soul. Now the soul has begun to be repaired, and the consciousness has slowly recovered a lot.
However, the amount Qin Yang gave him should have been enough for him to recover.
But he only drank half of it.
My consciousness is sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, but it is much stronger than before.
When he regained consciousness, the crazy ancestor walked back the way he came.
When we arrived at the shore, we saw the ferryman. The crazy ancestor was still slightly conscious, but he suddenly became completely awake.
Holding his hand to the ferryman, the Crazy Ancestor took out the gourd from his waist. Inside was the half bowl of soup mixed with flower petals.
This is the only thing he has on hand to pay the bill.
However, before he could open the gourd lid, the ferryman shook his head and stretched out his hand to signal him to get on board.
The crazy ancestor was stunned, and then he noticed that there was no wooden box on the bow of the ship.
The crazy ancestor fumbled for the gourd in his hand, looking a little surprised.
"It's my disciple...has someone paid?"
The ferryman nodded.
After getting on the boat, Crazy Ancestor was still slowly groping for the gourd in his arms, looking at the gradually distant river bank with a very complicated expression on his face.
Since someone paid for the boat ticket, he can drink the remaining half bowl of soup, which should allow him to fully recover.
But when he put his hand on the lid, the crazy ancestor hesitated, looked at the gourd dreamily, and murmured to himself.
"It turns out that he is not afraid of me, Old Demon Cui, and wants to trap me here. He also remembers that I may not be able to pay the ship fare. What a good boy..."
"She looks so much like Mingzhe..."
The crazy ancestor had a trace of confusion on his face as he recalled his life.
He almost forgot when he started thinking the worst of anyone he met, constantly being on guard, constantly intrigues, and constantly killing and fighting...
These days, his consciousness is unclear, but his consciousness can occasionally recover. When encountering danger, his consciousness will be forcibly condensed. He still remembers the memories of these days.
Just boiling soup like this, and the apprentice was filial. These days are long gone, and so are the apprentices.
Looking back on my life, until now, it is no longer possible to go any further. All my cultivation and all I have learned will turn into a handful of loess.
There is nothing left.
So what difference does it make if you drink this soup or not? If you drink it, you will still be in pain all the time and waiting to die.
The crazy ancestor slowly put down his hand and put the gourd away.
Good times and bad times, just good times and bad times. If the consciousness is not clear, it may not be a bad thing.
After landing on the shore, Crazy Ancestor looked around, followed the direction he came from, and headed straight outside the Black Forest Sea, towards the nearest city in the Black Forest Sea.
Not long after walking, the look in Crazy Ancestor's eyes began to fade, and his consciousness became blurry again. When he came to the place where he had paused to get through the soup, Crazy Ancestor looked down and scratched his head in confusion.
"As for Mingzhe, it's true. I told him not to run around. This place is not safe..."
…
In the inn in the city, Qin Yang was lying on the table, frowning, with a confused look on his face.
"Why is it so difficult to calculate an auspicious day and time? If I make a mistake and choose one that is not suitable for touching the body, wouldn't it be a loss of blood?"
"Junior brother Zhang should be the best at this kind of thing. I just don't know where he is recently. If it doesn't work out, I'll just ask Uncle Meng for help..."
