Chapter 87 The Beheaded Ghost and Sisters...Ghosts
The boatman of the boat that crosses the underworld?

Who is this person? Is he a ghost?

Li Daoxuan had subconsciously prepared to swing his sword, but there was no corresponding description on the panel.

Most of the time, the panel will only tell you what you are encountering.

Only rarely are specific descriptions given.

"Who is this..."

Fang Jie has a good habit of asking questions when he doesn’t understand.

Li Daoxuan just looked at the boatman holding a long bamboo pole and said softly: "The boatman of the Yin Crossing Boat."

"The underworld boat? What is this?"

Don't look at me, I don't know either... Li Daoxuan didn't answer.

Fang Jie thought it was because Li Daoxuan was too lazy to say anything, so he turned to look at Zhou Xu.

"The Yin Crossing Boat is a boat that travels in the waters of the world. They usually only pick up ghosts."

"Then are they ghosts?"

"No, it's a human being."

"people?"

A person who specializes in picking up ghosts by boat... Fang Jie was a little surprised, but not much. The world is weird, and anything that happens is normal and nothing to be surprised about.

"Then we can take his boat."

"Yes, but you have to pay more."

While Zhou Xu and Fang Jie were talking, the boatman of the Yin Crossing Boat also arrived.

Li Daoxuan stood in front of the two people and looked over.

The boatman looked very old, his face was full of wrinkles, and he had lost a few teeth. He had a bamboo hat on his head and a rotting raincoat on his body. Only the pole in his hand looked new.

Beyond that, the waterline of the ship is...deep.

Like there's something heavy on the boat.

But apart from the boatman, the only thing left on the boat is the wupeng... If there is anything, then it has to be inside the wupeng.

"You three, are you going to Yinhundang?" the old boatman asked.

On the way here, Fang Jie had told Li Daoxuan and the others more than once that the burial place was called Yinhundang.

"There's a ghost on board."

Zhou Xu replied.

The old boatman smiled and shook his head, "You are a guest once you board the ship. We won't interfere with each other, so don't worry."

[The boatman of the Yin Crossing Boat has sent you an invitation to board the boat. Their boat traces are all over the upper, middle and lower worlds. Remember, don’t make trouble on their boat. Your survival points will be +4 (green). 】

Seeing that they were still hesitating, the old boatman added: "If you want to enter Yinhundang, you can only take my boat. If you don't board the boat now, you will have to wait until three days later."

"on!"

Li Daoxuan made a decision.

Zhou Xu also knew a little bit about the Yin Crossing Boat, so he was not worried about safety issues and asked: "How much does it cost?"

"One incense per person." The old boatman said with a smile.

Fang Jie also smiled.

"Haha, I can't sit up."

Li Daoxuan only had the last incense stick left and was about to take it out, but Zhou Xu had already thrown out three incense sticks.

No movement was seen from the old boatman, but the three incense sticks in the air had disappeared.

"Everyone, please come on board."

The old boatman pointed in the direction of the stern of the boat.

Li Daoxuan did not hesitate and jumped onto the Yin-crossing boat with a little effort. His feet only touched the surface of the boat.

The tail of this Upeng boat sank directly, and it even felt like it was about to capsize.

The old boatman was also startled, "How many f*cking people did you come up with?"

He hurriedly took out a ballast stone from the cabin and placed it on the bow of the ship, which offset Li Daoxuan's weight.

He was able to look back and saw only Li Daoxuan standing firmly at the stern of the ship.

The other two hadn't even had time to board the ship.

Look at each other.

Li Daoxuan asked: "Is there any problem?"

"No, it's okay. You go in first and sit down... Don't be afraid, everyone is boarding the boat." After the old boatman finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Xu and Fang Jie who were still on the shore.

Li Daoxuan bowed his head and walked into the cabin.

The cabin is divided into left and right sides, with two ghosts sitting on the left and one ghost sitting on the right.

The two people on the left were all wrapped in a piece of black cloth, and they were close to each other. The man-like ghost on the right was missing half of his head. He stared blankly at Li Daoxuan who had just walked in, exuding a The smell is extremely attractive.

[You encounter the sister ghost and the decapitated ghost on the same ship on the boat. Your survival points are +6 (green). 】

Li Daoxuan looked at the two ghosts who were close together again. They must be sister ghosts.

As for the one on the right...it looks terrifying, and it does look like a decapitated ghost.

Li Daoxuan thought about the prompts on the panel and the old boatman's instructions, and did not cause trouble. Instead, he came directly to the beheaded ghost and sat down.

The position opposite seemed safer, so it was better to leave it to Fang Jie.

As soon as he sat down, he smelled the disgusting rotten smell and bloody smell coming from the decapitated ghost.

And a yin energy that was enough to make Li Daoxuan feel a chill on his back.

This ghost... I'm afraid it's very vicious!

"You...sit over there." The decapitated ghost spoke, and his voice was like the sound he made when tearing cloth.

"I have two companions who can't sit down."

Li Daoxuan said coldly.

"Then you also sat over there."

The decapitated ghost raised his voice a little.

Li Daoxuan said "Oh", put his head out and said: "Boatman, this ghost is bullying me."

"you!"

The beheaded ghost's eyes widened with anger. He had never seen such a cowardly grain eater!
The boatman lowered his head and looked in, and said in a deep voice: "I have told you the rules. If anyone wants to go down to feed the fish, you can tell me."

Zhou Xu and Fang Jie also came in from the stern of the boat.

Zhou Xu looked around and came to sit on the right side of the decapitated ghost.

Fang Jie came to the only remaining position with a slightly surprised expression. "Let's go."

The boatman's brisk voice came from the bow, and then the boat began to move, heading straight towards the sky.

Perhaps because there were three more people, it was much slower than the speed when it came.

Even the waterline was almost on the surface of the ship, but the ship still did not sink and was stable.

Inside the cabin, the atmosphere was very depressing.

The ghost sisters huddled together and even felt a little shivering. They looked very timid, as if they were harmless.

Li Daoxuan and Zhou Xu held the decapitated ghost on the left and right.

The ship just moved forward little by little.

Li Daoxuan was bored and asked: "Boatman, can we come out?"

As soon as he spoke, the decapitated ghost immediately looked at him.

A response came from the bow of the boat, "If you're not afraid of falling into the water, just come out."

Li Daoxuan glanced at Zhou Xu, who nodded, and then he bent down and walked out of Wu Peng.

When he arrived at the bow of the ship, he realized that before he knew it, the ship had sailed into the sky, and the stone wall was right above his head.

The old boatman said: "When you encounter a place that you can't pass, just lie down on the bow of the boat. Also, don't look into the water."

"There are quite a few rules."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged on the bow of the ship.

The old boatman glanced at him and said with a smile: "You are very courageous."

After saying that, he looked down at the water line and said, "It's also very serious... You've made a loss on this business."

Li Daoxuan also smiled, "In business, it's normal to have losses and losses."

The old boatman nodded, but soon realized the flaw in Li Daoxuan's words, "You don't have to say anything if you don't know how to speak."

After saying that, Li Daoxuan lowered his head and lay on the board of the ship.

The Wupeng boat sailed into the place where the sky is the tightest, and the stone wall above the head is almost grinding against the Wupeng roof.

The old boatman originally wanted to remind Li Daoxuan, but he didn't respond to what he just said.

The old boatman also wanted to make Li Daoxuan suffer, but he never thought that Li Daoxuan had noticed the abnormality long ago.

The boat was driving slowly on the water, and Li Daoxuan, who was lying on the boat, raised his head slightly.

The old boatman... disappeared.

Li Daoxuan turned over slightly without seeing his feet again.

He was the only one left on the bow of the ship.

And when he turned over and was lying on the board of the boat, he could clearly see the stone wall above his head.

On the black stone wall, there were countless hands, grabbing something, as if they were in great pain, and as if there were countless people trapped inside the stone wall.

Seeing this situation, Li Daoxuan instantly recalled the situation when he met the human-skin hand in the tunnel of Shouwu City.

At this moment, the human skin hand was in his hand.

Li Daoxuan raised his left hand by mistake. He was wearing human skin on his hand and had no taboos.

At least there is no need to worry about contamination.

He grabbed a hand and pulled it sharply. The hand... broke, and then the hand he tore off also turned into a waterweed.

Contaminated filth.

Not really human hands.

Guessing that he wouldn't be able to sell it for much, Li Daoxuan threw it into the river.

But when there was the sound of big mouthfuls of food, there was water splashing on the board of the boat.

There seems to be something in the water.

fish?
"Brother Li, are you okay?"

Fang Jie's voice came from inside the cabin.

"It's okay, don't come out."

Li Daoxuan looked at the direction he was going. Seeing that he was about to pass the narrowest place, he slowly straightened up.

The boatman was not at the stern either.

There was no trace of him.

Li Daoxuan hesitated for two or three breaths before choosing to look towards the water.

Just like what I saw outside, the bottom of the water is still dark, and the ship is moving forward... No!

Li Dao

Maybe he noticed Li Daoxuan's gaze, and one of the corpse crickets turned over, exposing its belly.

Its belly turned out to be a human face.

When Li Daoxuan was stunned, a mouthful of saliva spit out from its human face.

Li Daoxuan was so fast that he immediately retracted his body. His saliva fell on the board of the ship, making a sound of dirty water corroding the ground.

A small pit was also corroded into the ship's plank.

Damn you... Li Daoxuan pulled out the butcher's knife and was about to give this little thing a greeting gift.

But before he could take action, the boat pole appeared in front of him.

The old boatman is back and is at the stern of the boat.

"I told you not to look, why are you still looking?" The old boatman seemed a little displeased.

Li Daoxuan blurted out: "I saw you were missing. I was worried about your safety, so I looked there."

"You're quite good at talking."

After the old boatman finished speaking, he stretched his bamboo pole and jumped directly from outside the wupeng. His agility was incredible.

"So where were you just now?"

"Where can we go? You lie down on the bow, and I can only go to the stern."

Li Daoxuan heard this and looked at him, but he didn't reveal it.

However, the old boatman patted Wu Peng with the boat pole and said: "Decapitated Ghost, it's time for you to get off the boat."

It was only now that Li Daoxuan realized that he had passed through the sky and entered Yinhundang without even realizing it.

The low-pitched words of the decapitated ghost also came from the cabin.

"Do you think these two sisters are trembling because they are afraid?"

"No, they are shaking because they are resisting the... impulse to eat you."
