Chapter 59 Boatman

In front of the Naihe Bridge, there are people ferrying in the Forget River!

The Forgetful River is also called Huangquan. It is said that it is as vast as 800 miles and is a must-pass path for all ghosts.

"Fat Master, why don't you see the ferryman?" Li Ergou asked after a look around.

Logically speaking, there should be a ferryman in the Wangchuan River, who specializes in the souls of the ferryman, and sends them to the other side.

Compared with Uncle San’s shop, the boatman who is raising the boat is the real soul ferryman.

"I don't know, maybe it's just transporting the dead souls to hell, but I haven't come back yet!" The fat man thought for a while and said.

This may really be true. In the huge underworld, there is only one ferryman, and the business volume can be imagined. However, in this eight hundred miles of Wangchuan, I don’t know when the ferryman will return.

"Pang Ye, it is said that the water of the Forgetful River is not the real river, but is composed of thousands of dead souls. I don't know whether it is true or false?" Li Ergou said curiously.

After a person dies, he has a different way of returning.

If those who have great merits can enter the six realms of reincarnation, and those who are great treacherous and evil will be sent to the eighteen levels of hell, and will never be reborn, or enter the animal realm, and will not be human.

There are also some lonely ghosts who, after a long period of time and are forgotten by future generations, will come to Wangchuan and become part of the Wangchuan River.

Li Ergou had only seen these legends in TV series before. Now that he has arrived at the banks of the Forgetful River, he can't wait to verify them.

So, before the fat man answered, Li Ergou had already arrived at the riverside and reached into the river, trying to catch a soul and take a look.

"Brother Ergou, come back quickly!" The fat man shouted quickly when he saw this.

Unfortunately, it's still one step late.

Before he could finish his words, Li Ergou's hand reached into the Forgetful River.

"ah!"

The moment his hands were in contact with the river, Li Ergou screamed immediately, his expression was distorted, and beads of sweat as big as beans emerged from his forehead.

Before she could think too much, Li Ergou quickly shrank his hand back, but there was still a trace of black air, and suddenly it rushed out of the Forgetful River, turning into a grimace, and wrapping Li Ergou's arm around.

"Fat Master, save me!"

Li Ergou was frightened directly, as if even his soul was trembling, and he hurriedly shouted to the fat man.

Seeing this, the fat man quickly took out a piece of yellow talisman paper. After reciting the formula, he photographed Li Ergou in his hand.

It was not until this time that the black fog made a ghost cry and fell again into the Forgetful River and became part of the river.

"Brother Ergou, you were so reckless just now that you almost caused a big disaster!" The fat man looked solemn and blamed Li Ergou very rarely.

"I'm sorry, Fat Master, I don't know that there is such a thing in the Forget River." Li Ergou quickly apologized.

"Forget it, you didn't know it in advance."

The fat man waved his hand and continued, "These dead souls have been forgotten by future generations and cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation. They have long become resentful spirits. Even gods do not dare to provoke them easily. If I didn't take action in time just now, you might be pulled into the Forgetful River by the black fog and become a part of them."

After listening to the fat man's explanation, Li Ergou couldn't help but take a breath of air, and felt even more scared.

He knew that the fat man was not exaggerating, but was really thinking about him. If he fell here and didn't even see the King of Hell, why would he talk about finding the truth?

"Fatty Master, thank you for saving my life again." Li Ergou said with fists at the fat man.

At the same time, he also felt guilty for his recklessness. In order not to cause trouble for the fat man, Li Ergou sat on the shore obediently, waiting for the arrival of the ferryman.

About ten minutes later, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew on the Wangchuan River. The wind was cold and the wind was biting, and Li Ergou unconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly.

"The ferryman is coming."

After seeing this, the fat man said casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ergou saw a small boat appearing in his sight and heading towards them at an extremely fast speed.

After getting closer, Li Ergou saw a boatman sitting on the boat, wearing a straw raincoat, a straw hat, and dressed in a man in ancient costume.

"How many people want to take a boat?"

As soon as the boat landed, the boatman asked Li Ergou and the others.

"Boss Boss, we want to go to the underworld. I wonder if we can take us all the way?" asked the fat man.

The boatman nodded, then stretched out his two fingers and said, "200 per person, it's just a one-way trip. I have to buy a ticket when I come back, but one of you is not a human, and I can only charge two people for money."

When the boatman said this, his eyes stared at Li Ergou in confusion, as if he had seen a monster.

Li Ergou was stunned on the spot. Why did this boatman even start collecting money?

Shouldn't the soul ferry be free?

Besides, he and the fat man went out in a hurry. Where did the underworld coins come from?

And, what did the boatman mean just now?

Could it be that in his eyes, Li Ergou is actually a dead person?

But this is unreasonable!

There were only two people at the scene, he and Fatty. Why would the boatman say that after one person is free, he would have to charge two people for money?

Could it be that there are other people who entered the passage besides him and Fatty?

Li Ergou thought about it carefully and was extremely terrified.

However, what surprised Li Ergou was that the fat man seemed to have known that there were others present for a long time. He took out four 100 yuan denomination coins from his bag.

Then he said to the boatman: "Let's go, the boss of the boat, please take us across the river as soon as possible."

Li Ergou was stunned. What's going on with the fat man? The backpack on his backpack seemed like a treasure chest. Why did he have everything?

He saw the underworld currency just now, which was the kind of underworld currency that people burned to their ancestors during the Ghost Festival.

"Okay, please get on the boat!"

After receiving the money, the boatman shouted and stopped the boat, saying to Li Ergou and the others with a smile.

Seeing this, Li Ergou jumped onto the boat quickly, while the fat man calmly shouted at a huge rock in the distance: "Come out, Li Sanyuan, I have paid the ship fee for you, when are you planning to hide?"

Li Ergou glanced at the stone in confusion. Could it be that Uncle San really came with him after seeing his message?

He was thinking this way, and there was a person behind the stone, which was the third uncle.

"Uncle San, why are you here?"

When Li Ergou saw Uncle San come out, he was immediately happy and became more confident about this trip to the underworld.

"After I saw the text message you sent, I called you back. Unfortunately, the prompt was not connected for the time being. I thought you might have set off, so I quickly followed and entered the passage at the last moment." Uncle San explained after getting on the boat.

Li Ergou nodded, without any doubt about Uncle San's words.

"Okay! Please sit firmly, several guests."
