52. Huangquan Ferryman

Huangquan Island is one of the more famous islands in the North Sea Islands.

Unlike other islands, Huangquan Island is an immutable island, but this island is filled with a dead atmosphere.

The earth is earthy yellow. Although there are no traces of dryness and cracks, it gives people a feeling of the dryness of the earth. The trees are withered, without leaves, and look a little shriveled. Similarly, there are no flowers, grass, birds and insects, even those

The buildings look like they have been weathered for thousands of years.

The spirit boat Su Anran boarded arrived at Huangquan Island without any danger.

"Huangquan Island is the strangest one in the Beihai Islands. You should be careful after nightfall." Probably because there was no danger, the driver who was responsible for taking Su Anran to Huangquan Island hesitated for a moment and then gave a warning.

, "The buildings you see now seem to be hundreds of years old. In fact, the oldest ones are only one or two years old. Those that are more than two years old have basically turned into sand."

Su Anran was surprised: "Is Huangquan Island so exclusive of the outside world?"

"Almost." The old driver glanced at Su Anran with a strange expression, "Yellow Spring Island has been explored very clearly. It becomes very dangerous after nightfall. Monks often disappear, and no one knows why. Moreover,

The buildings built here will be severely corroded in just a few days, so no one comes now... You are the third group of people who want to come to Huangquan Island recently."

"The third batch?" Su Anran keenly noticed the key words mentioned by the other party.

"Well." The driver didn't think anything was wrong, so he continued, "Just over two months ago, someone also landed on Huangquan Island, it seemed to be a middle-aged man... And yesterday,

A man and a woman also came to Huangquan Island. If they hadn't died last night, maybe you could still meet them."

Su Anran smiled and didn't answer.

If the situation had been different before he learned about Huangquan Mingbi, Su Anran might still feel that there might be a chance to meet.

But after learning about the situation of Huang Quan Ming Coin, Su Anran didn't think so.

Let’s not talk about the person two months ago, but the man and woman who landed on Huangquan Island yesterday, Su Anran is sure that the other person must be coming towards the Huangquan Dead Sea. And being able to find the way into the Huangquan Dead Sea so accurately, it is obvious that these two people have

Behind him are powerful monks who can freely enter and leave the underworld and the Dead Sea.

"I don't want to encounter them." Su Anran watched the old driver drive away in the small spirit boat, shook his head and laughed, "Who knows if they are friends or foes, so I'd better get the Green Soul Stone quickly and go back."

Walking on Huangquan Island, Su Anran discovered that this island really had no signs of life, and even the land had completely lost its vitality.

The seemingly hard island ground, but when you step on it, a shallow pit will be created directly on the ground, and the geology can even feel noticeably softened.

This is just Su Anran's strength for walking under normal conditions. If the force is too strong, it will not be as simple as a shallow pit. The entire ground will even collapse in a large area, and yellow sand and dust will rise all over the sky.

Impressed by this scene, Su Anran was quite puzzled. This island has not sunk yet?

But after all, he was not here to conduct geological research or study Huangquan Island, so after Su Anran determined that Huangquan Island was not in great danger, he began to look for old flags with worn flags on the island as Zen Master Longhua said before.

ferry.

Huangquan Island is not too big, and certainly not too small.

It was when Su Anran found the backside of Huangquan Island that she found the only ferry with a shabby flag that matched what Zen Master Long Hua said.

It was a flag with black outlines on a white background.

What words were supposed to be written on the flags were now blurred, and there were even some holes on them that were not clear whether they were caused by fire or insects.

The flagpole holding the flag seemed to be some kind of metal object, but it also looked rusty at this time, and it seemed that it would break if it was touched.

Just looking at this flag, Su Anran felt a panic, and her breathing even became a little short.

This made him understand that this shabby-looking flag was far more dangerous and terrifying than what he saw.

At least, it is not something that he can come into contact with in his current state. It may be something planted by some Daoji realm power or a power that has entered the sea of ​​suffering. After all, flag-type magic weapons are in various fairy cultures on the earth.

But the gadgets that appear the most are often the most vicious and terrifying ones.

Su Anran stood by the ferry, then took out the Huang Quan document and threw it into the slightly turbid sea water.

A series of bubbles bubbled up from the sea water.

Then soon, a large number of white waves rose from the bottom of the water. As the white waves surged, the surrounding seawater began to gradually turn yellow, as if some kind of yellow dye was dizzy in the clear water. And along with it

The sea water began to turn yellow, and a fishy-sweet smell quickly filled the air. As soon as Su Anran smelled this smell, she felt an inexplicable chill, and her body temperature dropped rapidly, even

Even the limbs gradually became stiff.

Thick fog began to appear on the sea.

In Su Anran's ears, she began to hear a rushing sound of sea water.

A yellow wave flowed out from the depths of the thick fog, just like the rising tide of sea water, rushing directly towards the ferry, completely connecting with the yellow sea water.

The breath of desolation and desolation suddenly came to my face.

Standing at the ferry, Su Anran felt a strange sense of eternal disillusionment, as if death was the final destination of all things.

He found that his heartbeat seemed to have stopped, his skin turned into an iron-blue color similar to that of a dead person, and the white breath he exhaled even had a touch of frost. All vitality had been completely compressed to the lowest level, and his whole person looked like...

Like a living dead.

In the thick fog, the shadow of a ferry emerged.

A ferryman wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat was holding an oar and steering the ferry slowly towards the ferry.

As the other party got closer, Su Anran discovered that the ferry looked quite dilapidated, as if it would sink at any time. But what was quite strange was that there were many holes in the dilapidated boat, but no seawater was poured into it.

It's incredibly dry inside.

"The person who guides you to the underworld is the ferryman of the Dead Sea." When the ferry docked, the ferryman finally spoke, "One underworld coin is on board, and one underworld coin is ashore."

The ferryman's voice seemed very ethereal, and it sounded a bit creepy.

But Su Anran didn't think much about it.

He knows the rules.

After all, Zen Master Longhua has made it quite clear before.

So Su Anran quickly handed a hell coin to the other party.

"Get on board."

The vague and hollow voice sounded again.

Su Anran stepped onto the ferry.

But the next second, his expression suddenly changed.

Because he felt that his true energy had completely disappeared at this moment, and his whole body became extremely heavy, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back. Let alone walking, even raising a hand would

It felt quite strenuous.

This is no longer as simple as becoming an ordinary person.

Rather, life and death are completely no longer controlled by himself.

"Don't be anxious, don't panic, don't be afraid." The ferryman spoke again, "You pay the fare, and you are qualified to board the boat. When you dock later, you pay another fare, and you are qualified to go ashore.

."

"What if there is no other coin to pay for the ship?" Su Anran tried it and found that he could actually speak. He seemed to be restricted only by his ability to move, but there was no communication situation.

limit.

But as soon as he said those words, even he was shocked.

Because his voice also became vague and hollow.

"Hey, hey, hey." After hearing Su Anran's words, the ferryman suddenly laughed, then slowly raised his head and looked at Su Anran.

I confirmed with my eyes that I am the right person...

What a fart!

The moment Su Anran and the ferryman's eyes met, the panic in her heart reached its limit.

Because the ferryman in front of me actually looks exactly like him!

"If you can't pay the ship fare, then you have to stay." The ferryman said with a smile, "The one who leads you to the underworld is the ferryman of the Dead Sea. One underworld coin is on board, and one underworld coin is ashore... If it is

If one is missing, then you have to pay for it with your life."

Su Anran's heart twitched suddenly.

Fortunately, I prepared two of them, otherwise I might have to pay for them with my life.

After getting Su Anran on board, the ferryman pushed the oars, and the ferry soon staggered into the thick fog again.

In the thick fog, Su Anran felt the panic and palpitations coming over him again.

Although he couldn't move, and even his senses were blocked, he was no different from ordinary people. But it didn't mean that he was blind, so he could still see countless black shadows moving with the ship under the yellowish water.

The aura that made him feel palpitated and panicked was emanating from these black figures on the seabed.

"what are these?"

"Don't be anxious, don't panic, don't be afraid. One question is one hell of a coin."

Su Anran decided to shut up.

God, don't be anxious, don't panic, don't be afraid. Now I'm in a panic.

After getting used to a life of mastering power, Su Anran felt unable to adapt to the sudden feeling of completely losing her power and returning to being an ordinary person again.

Fortunately, although he felt flustered along the way, at least the ferryman was very professional and did not ask for a fare increase midway.

I don’t know how long I walked through the thick fog.

When the thick fog dissipated again, Su Anran saw the ferry docked at a ferry again.

"The person who is led by the underworld is the one who ferries the Dead Sea. One underworld coin is on board, and one underworld coin is ashore."

The ethereal, hollow, and chilling voice sounded again.

Then Su Anran discovered that his hands had regained their ability to move, but the heaviness in his body had not completely disappeared. So he knew that as long as he got on this boat, he would probably lose all his ability to move.

, but he didn't think too much and took out the second Huangquan Ming coin given to him by Zen Master Longhua from his body, and then handed it to the ferryman.

The next moment, Su Anran saw the ferryman with the same face as himself. His facial features quickly became blurred. And his own body quickly regained its ability to move, the kind that was suppressed by restraints.

The feeling completely disappeared.

Su Anran hurriedly jumped onto the ferry, unwilling to stay on the ferry for a moment longer.

Almost as soon as Su Anran got on the ferry, he felt a sudden blur in front of his eyes. When he turned back, the thick fog behind him disappeared. It was as if the ferryman and the ferry had never appeared. Everything was like Su Anran.

The illusion of peace.

Su Anran clenched his fist subconsciously, and then discovered that there was an extra wooden sign on his right hand. This wooden sign was exactly the same as the Huangquan ultimatum that Su Anran had thrown into the sea before. At this moment

, he suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart: I am afraid that if he wants to leave the Underworld and the Dead Sea, he can only leave in this way. And according to the ferryman, he may have to find a way to get two people in the secret realm of the Underworld and the Dead Sea.

Only a Huangquan Ming coin will do.
