Chapter 37 Nether River

Lin Yan thought for a moment, then suddenly made a move and punched Zhang San on the head.

Zhang San screamed, danced, and backed away in a panic, but he couldn't escape Lin Yan's fist, which hit his temple.

But Lin Yan's punch was just a false move, and it was weak. It broke Zhang San's temple immediately without any effort.

Only then did Zhang San fall to the ground, shaking all over, looking terrified.

The temple is the key point, no one will be indifferent to being hit on the temple, judging by Zhang San's performance, I am afraid he is not even a warrior.

Lin Yan reached out and pulled him up: "Sorry, necessary temptation."

Zhang San's voice trembled, he was really an ordinary person, he worked in Neifang to save money to buy a house on weekdays, he was lucky enough to get a golden pattern order, so he went to the ghost market to be a guide, hoping to earn a few more cents.

Normally, he only solicits customers after he enters the ghost market, because hurting people is not allowed in the ghost market, so it is considered safe.

But recently, there are fewer and fewer newcomers in the ghost market, and the competition pressure for guides is increasing. He hasn't opened for more than a month. Today, he finally met a newcomer. He gritted his teeth and took the risk to start a conversation. walked around.

"Tell me, how much is the guide once?"

Zhang San was still in shock, tremblingly said: "Half taels of silver!"

Lin Yan frowned, not cheap.

Zhang San hurriedly said: "You can inquire after entering the ghost market. Our price is absolutely fair, and we guarantee that you will get more than what you pay for!"

Lin Yan really needed a guide, nodded, took out a tael of silver, circulated his energy and blood, and squeezed it into two halves of similar size: "It's a deal, you can choose half yourself."

Zhang San let out a long sigh of relief, and picked a piece that he thought was big: "Thank you, sir!"

The two followed the team and had already walked a long distance. Lin Yan could hear the sound of ding-dong spring water like a clear mountain stream, which became louder and louder.

And the strange thing is that, obviously in the deep underground cave, there is a thin layer of light blue halo on the jagged rock wall in front of it, and it is getting brighter and brighter, as if covering everything around it. A layer of blue tulle.

Zhang San introduced at the right time: "We are almost at the Nether River. This is an underground dark river, which is extremely weird. You will know it when you see it later. You can't walk to the ghost market. You have to take a boat. You can only get there by walking the Nether River."

While talking, the two turned a corner, and the hazy darkness in front of Lin Yan's eyes was suddenly dispelled by a layer of not very bright but soft light blue halo.

After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Lin Yan's breathing stopped uncontrollably for a moment, and he even had the illusion that I have traveled through time again.

In front of you is a slightly open canyon, the dome is in the shape of an inverted trumpet, still covered with blood stalactites, and in the center of the canyon, there is a sparkling underground river with a strong blue halo, like the Milky Way hanging upside down from the sky and falling into the world , flowing eerily but normally.

The tone of this blue halo is extremely clean, brighter than the most beautiful neon lights in the previous life, but it is also crystal clear, as clean as a huge piece of sapphire silk, flowing with the wind.

So much so that Lin Yan instinctively had an extremely awkward perception.

It's as if a flying saucer suddenly appeared above the ancient city, a robot ran out of the primeval forest, and in an ordinary world, something that didn't fit was forced into it.

"This is the Nether River. Some people say that this Nether River connects hell and gods, so no one has ever been able to find the end and source of the Nether River;
"It is also said that there are undead living in the Nether River since ancient times, and these blue halos are the light from their souls;

"Some people also say that the Nether River is an extension of the arm of the gods and cannot be profaned.

"However, I have seen the water in the Nether River, and it is ordinary water."

After listening to Zhang San's explanation, Lin Yan still felt a sense of detachment. She always felt that this magnificent and mysterious river of flowing light was completely different from the chaotic and noisy Ding'an City above.

Speaking of which, it seems that he really doesn't know much about the history and past of this world. Except for the term Dafeng, he has almost no understanding of the area outside Ding'an City or the people from outside.

Lin Yan couldn't help wondering secretly: "I've only seen the tip of the iceberg of the world, maybe it's completely different from what I imagined?"

There was light blue light, and Lin Yan blew out the candles. On the bank of the underground river, there was a flat beach, and three bamboo rafts were parked. Each of them was guarded by a man wearing an iron mask. I don't know how they moved it down. .

On the side, there are three black robes waiting there, and they should have come down from another entrance.

The group of them gathered together, and two boatmen guarding the bamboo raft stood up and pushed their own bamboo raft into the water.

Zhang San explained in a low voice: "In and out of the ghost market, you have to take a bamboo raft, six people in a boat, and you have to pay the boat fee when you arrive at the place, one hundred yuan per person, two hundred yuan for each entry and one exit, the pit is ruthless .”

Sure enough, as the bamboo boatman beckoned, the three people who were waiting before boarded a boat, two others also boarded the bamboo raft, and another wanted to get on the bamboo raft, but the drunk young man took the first step and boarded the bamboo raft.

Lin Yan obviously saw that the five people on the bamboo raft shrank their necks, and Zhang San beside him also swallowed their saliva.

"You recognize him?"

Zhang San waited until the first bamboo raft set off and disappeared into the waterway cave, then wiped his forehead, and then realized that he was wearing a mask, and said embarrassingly: "I recognize him. His name is Gan Yang. He is very famous in the ghost market. There is a His nickname is Poison Master."

"Poison master? Is he very powerful?"

"It is said that his own strength is not at the strength level, but his ability to use poison is superb, and his body is full of poison. He is called a poison master, and even warriors at the first level are very afraid of him.

"In addition, he is a guest of the City Lord's Mansion, so even if he acts domineering and never hides his face, he has been living well."

Lin Yan's expression was rather strange, Poison Master?Poison expert?It can't be such a coincidence, can it?
Leading Zhang San up to the second bamboo raft, Lin Yan asked, "Does this poison master often kill people and take their internal organs?"

Zhang San shook his head and said, "It's never happened before, but since last month, he's only picking out newcomers, and every time he only digs out the liver, it's said that it's for completing the reward in the second cave..."

Speaking of this, Zhang San shivered: "Master, this poison master is extremely dangerous, you must... be careful."

He was worried that Lin Yanji hated Gan Yang, overreached himself, and went to trouble the poison master.

Lin Yan was noncommittal.

Sitting on the bamboo chair of the bamboo raft and fastening the safety rope, the boatman started to stretch the wormwood, and the bamboo raft rushed out along the river.

The Youming River is not wide, and the rock walls on both sides are jagged, and a sharp blood stalactite protrudes from time to time, so that when the bamboo raft is drifting, there is always an illusion that the boat is about to hit the sharp rock and the boat capsizes.

But fortunately, the boatman's skills are very good and steady, and he often staggers the danger by a slight margin and moves forward all the way.

Trusting the boatman for now, Lin Yan just lowered his head to look at the Nether River under the bamboo raft.

Strangely, Lin Yan originally thought that the blue halo was emitted by some kind of algae living underground, or plankton, or even fish.

But the river water is as clear as a mirror, and the jagged dark purple strange rocks on the bottom of the river can be seen at a glance. It is as clear as if it does not exist, and there are no other creatures or substances at all.

Then use your hands to scoop up a handful of water that overflows from the gaps in the bamboo rafts. It is transparent and dull, just like normal water.

"It's as if water and light are two separate entities, water is water, and light is light."

The change of the halo at the bottom of the Nether River made him feel that the halo did not originate from the water, but directly penetrated from the bottom of the water, deeper underground. He was gradually fascinated by watching it.

Suddenly, a figure in white clothes and long hair swam across the bottom of the river and disappeared in a flash!
Lin Yan's pupils constricted suddenly. Is she a woman with her head held high?

But when I looked left and right, I couldn't find it. I thought it was my hallucination.

However, in the next moment, a terrifying woman's face, pale as wax, with wide-open eyes, raised her head, suddenly floated up from the bottom of the bamboo raft, and hit the bamboo raft directly. , staring straight at Lin Yan!

Lin Yan stood up in shock, and the people on the boat were also startled, jumping to their feet one after another.

"Fuck! Who the hell threw the corpse into the river! Scared me out of my soul!!"

Someone was cursing.

The bamboo raft passed by, and the horrible woman stayed behind, bobbing up and down in a halo of blue light.

Lin Yan took a closer look, only to realize that it was actually a dead man, with his head held high and his whole body stiff, but he didn't appear to be swollen with blisters at all.

Zhang San was still in shock, and explained: "The Nether River is extremely strange. All the corpses thrown in the river will not rot or swell for several days, and they look the same as when they just died."

"Aren't there corpses in the Nether River?"

"That's not true. I just heard that when the time is up, the corpse will disappear by itself. Some people also say that the Nether River is alive and can eat people... Anyway, it's very weird."

Lin Yan's heart was still pounding, but this time, he didn't dare to focus his eyes and attention on the Nether River. This river, this light, this water...

It's all too weird.
