Cultivating immortals and destroying the world is their duty

Chapter 37 Evil Stars and More Evil Stars

"Boater, how many years have you been ferrying on this river? Have you encountered anything new?" Sitting on the side of the boat, Qingyue felt that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he asked the boatman.

"This sage is the right person to ask. I have been doing this old man's work for 600 years, and I have sent countless dead souls back and forth. If you want to say which one is new, hehe, that is really not a sentence. It can be finished in two sentences."

"Then pick up two interesting things and talk about them." Nanshan didn't like the silent atmosphere, especially when the mournful cries of the dead souls in the river kept coming from his ears, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Okay, the old man will tell the girl a strange story."

While punting the boat, the old man said leisurely, "I remember that it was more than 100 years ago. I was going to take a break from the boat and go back, but a ghost on the bank called me from a distance and told me that I had to cross the river, and gave me a hand." A lot of money, the top of the old man’s annual income. As a result, after boarding the boat, this guy kept asking if people could meet in the underworld after death. How could it be so easy? In a place as big as the underworld, I want to find an ordinary It's not looking for a needle in a haystack, that guy seemed a little disappointed when he heard me say that, and he didn't say anything after that."

He paused for a moment, and then his tone became quite suspenseful, and he continued, "But when I punted to the middle of the river, the undead under the water started to make waves as usual, and they all rushed up to try to Climb into my boat, but our boat is specially made by Hades, how could we be afraid of a group of undead? As a result, the old man never expected that the undead on the boat seemed to see something and jumped out of the boat without hesitation Go down. I couldn’t stop it at the time. I’ve been punting for so long, and I’ve never encountered anyone who jumped into the Agron River by myself. It’s too late for the guy below to come up. Pushed the boat and left."

"Three days later, I heard other boatmen talking about this matter, and I finally knew the ins and outs..." The boatman's expression suddenly brightened, and he laughed a little dramatically, "That dead soul is actually a soul who has been married for ten generations. Immortal body, gave up the opportunity to go to the fairy mountain to practice, let his life span be close, and came to the underworld, and he saw his concubine among the undead at the bottom of the river, so he jumped down recklessly. The bottom of the river has become a mandarin duck that lives forever."

"Hmm...Xiao Nanshan, do you think this story is interesting?" Qingyue poked Nanshan who had been dumbfounded, with a smile on his lips.

Nanshan shook his head and said, "It feels like a pity."

"How to say?" Qingyue and Chuanjia asked at the same time.

"Because I heard that the people who entered the Agron River were people who did not worship the gods or who did not pay the toll, but...in my opinion, they are just a group of independent people, or It’s just a poor person in the world.”

Qingyue pouted, noncommittal, seeing Nanshan's lonely expression, hurriedly urged the boatman, "Boatman, is there anything else, my junior sister prefers to listen to funny things."

"Okay, okay, some..."

……

Not long after, the river began to fork in many directions, leading to all directions. In a narrow river not far away, a small boat slowly drifted out. At the bow of the boat was a heroic girl with her arms folded. Dressed up, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed a little sad.

As soon as he saw the girl's face, the old man's expression changed immediately, and he whispered to several people: "Hey, we encountered a bad star today, if we can't get around later, please don't open your mouth. "

After speaking, the boatman quickly propped up the bamboo pole, trying to bypass the girl's boat and slip across the river on the other side.But the girl seemed to have seen the old man's boat, she deflected slightly, and leaned over directly. When she was about to approach, the girl in black pulled up an iron chain, and actually put the two boats together.

"Old man Zhang, what are you hiding from?" The girl frowned, and her smile made people feel a bit of peerless amazement.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Jasmine? What's the matter? Are you unhappy? Which dead soul is so bold that he dares to offend you?"

The boatman smiled on his face, but secretly became nervous in his heart. The person he met at this time was a well-known female police officer on the Aglon River. There were three thousand people in the entire upper underworld. As long as the dead souls met her, they would almost all die. It's a headache, shouting bad luck.

"Hey, it's not a task arranged by the inspector. The underworld has been stable all these years. Where can I go to catch so many vicious people, but if I can't complete the task, how can I keep my title of jade-faced Rakshasa! What can I do? Save your face in the first round of the patrol department! It's better to go to the shipping department to find a ferry job, so as to save yourself from being ridiculed by those guys who go to the underworld."

Dongli listened to the conversation between the two in the cabin, listened slightly, and thought: the inspector is a security agency directly under Hades, responsible for all kinds of security incidents in the entire upper underworld, if this girl said that there are not many vicious people now , Could it be that the evil god's hand has not yet reached the underworld?
"Oh, old man, what a big deal, Mrs. Jasmine, you may be worrying too much. No one knows who goes to the underworld. You have had the title of jade-faced Rakshasa for a hundred years, and you have heard a lot about it before. I have complained, but year after year, every time, it’s always your family.”

The old man Zhang responded casually, wishing to hold her up to the sky, propping up the bamboo pole from time to time, just wanting to slip away when the girl was not paying attention.

Unexpectedly, the girl seemed to have noticed something, and pulled back the old man's boat with a chain, and asked slightly questioningly in her tone: "Uncle Zhang, the passengers on your boat have extraordinary breath..."

The cold sweat on the back of the boatman immediately broke out, and he hesitated and said: "Old man, old man, I didn't notice anything wrong. Don't worry, Lord Jasmine, these are all serious and newly dead souls, this is not in a hurry..."

"Uncle Zhang, may I have a closer look?"

The girl suddenly smiled sweetly, her eyebrows and eyes curved like a crescent moon, but this intoxicating smile, in the eyes of old man Zhang, was no different from that of a Yaksha who was executed in hell.

"This is natural, natural..."

The boatman made a scene for the three people in the cabin. Under the dim light, he didn't know if they could see clearly. He only prayed that the previous instructions would still be useful, and also prayed that Lord Jasmine would not really find out anything.

The Agron River is actually very wide, and the opposite bank is invisible from the place where the few people boarded the boat just now, and there are no bridges across the river, so there is no other way to go between them except to use this kind of boat unique to the underworld. .

Dongli and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, and were about to hold back their breath to cooperate with the inspection to avoid complications, but suddenly they heard a roar in the distance, from far to near.

Both the boatman and the girl followed the sound and saw that there was only one person sitting on the fast-moving boat, but the guy was not using bamboo poles, but two huge and heavy oars, and then the That boat, as if it had wheels on both sides, splashed water all the way, and the oars turned faster than the top.

"Jasmine!"

Taking a closer look, it was a man paddling on the boat, also in black clothes. The rolled up waves formed a mist, and the man's face could not be seen clearly.

However, this Jasmine girl felt a chill in her back when she heard this call, and her face changed drastically, she shouted, "Zhaotai! If you dare to come over, I will stab you down with a bamboo pole!"

As she said that, tremblingly, the girl turned the bamboo pole in her hand across and pointed at the bow of the boat over there.

"Don't, don't, Jasmine, I'll just watch you from a distance, I won't go up..."

The man called Zhaotai really stopped his spinning oars, "I happened to pass by here today when I was inspecting the Department of Water Affairs. I heard that you were in charge of the security of the Agron River recently, so I came to see you."

Hearing a loud smile from over there, the man said again: "Jasmine, when are you going to rest, how about I take you home?"

"Not good!" Jasmine refused without even thinking about it, and said with contempt in her tone, "Bah, the reason for inspecting the Department of Water Affairs is a plausible one, but I don't know when people like you will be so serious. What happened?"

After finishing speaking, Jasmine didn't want to say any more, put away the chains and untied old man Zhang's boat, turned around and propped up the bamboo pole, and headed towards the waterway when they came just now, the speed was more than 01:30 than before.

Old man Zhang's mouth twitched, but he was glad in his heart. Fortunately, the evil star met the deadly evil star, so he was superior.

So the old man Zhang watched the man dance his oars again, and chased after him cheekily.

In the waterway over there, Jasmine's fierce yelling immediately came, "Go away! Go away! Shameless!"

Then there was the sound of paddles and bamboo poles ping-pong-pong, and then farther and farther away, only the continuous sound of water could be heard, but I didn't know what kind of scene it was.

At this time, the old man Zhang really breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said to the three people in the cabin: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm lucky today, everyone sit down, and we'll be there soon."

Nanshan was a little puzzled, blinked his eyes and said to old man Zhang: "Boatman, there must be a story here too?"

The old man Zhang shook his head, and said in a low voice with an inscrutable look on his face, "No, no, old man, I don't know anything, I don't know anything."
