Chapter 167: The Senior Sister Cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness (54)
In fact, if the tree branch had not revealed her scent just now, Sister Liu would never have connected the old man-like boatman in front of her with her beloved lover in the bright moonlight.
The more beautiful the person is in my memory, the more sad it is to meet him/her now.
No wonder Yun Zhen seemed to know what he had ordered but didn’t remind me.
The energy that supported Sister Liu seemed to be completely gone at this moment.
In addition to looking obviously decadent, Sister Liu's appearance also began to gradually age.
"Liuliu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" The boatman was also shocked by what he saw. "You are a spiritual plant. You have thousands of years to live. You still have a lot of time to practice. When you reach the East Continent, many sects will want you."
Yun Zhen did not try to persuade him, but just watched these things happen quietly. Finally, she said, "I think it has come to this. You should tell the truth, Brother Chuan."
There may be boats in the fog of the Eastern Continent, but there will be no boatmen.
Because no cultivator can stay in this fog for a long time, not to mention that he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
"What else have you hidden from me?" Sister Liu became anxious again when she heard this. "Zhenzhen, tell me everything you know. I want to see what else this guy has lied to me about."
The boat began to slowly descend, and at the same time slowed down its speed towards the East Continent. The boatman, who had just been dressed in a shabby manner, suddenly turned into a man with an elegant and handsome face. He sighed at Yun Zhen and said, "Can't you pity my hard work and not expose me?"
Seeing that the man had returned to his previous appearance, Sister Liu was surprised and rushed towards him. However, when she got closer, she found that he was actually a soul.
"What's going on?" Sister Liu watched her hand pass through the other person's body. At this moment, she remembered that when they got on the boat before, they did not touch the "boatman's" body.
Yun Zhen said softly: "He is not the boatman, he is the spirit of this 'ferry'."
"You are really smart." The man smiled bitterly, "Liu Liu, I didn't lie to you. It's just that after I established my foundation, I took a risk and went to the secret realm outside the East Continent in order to earn more spirit stones.
Only later did I find out that it was a trap set by the evil cultivators. We were completely wiped out, but my soul was luckily saved by your branch.
Later, I met a mysterious monk who sealed my soul into this wooden boat, which was used to ferry monks lost in the fog. As long as I accumulated enough merits, I would be free.
He said that he would send me back to the mortal world when the time comes. Actually, it’s not that bad. At the beginning, I didn’t have a human form at all, but now at least I can appear.”
Yun Zhen glanced at the magic circle on the wooden boat and said, "He lied to you so that you would willingly replace him as a weapon spirit and guard this boat."
Sister Liu followed Yun Zhen's gaze and also discovered the formation there. Knowing that the other party had studied formations, she quickly asked, "Zhen Zhen, what is the situation with this formation?"
"That so-called mysterious person should be the original spirit of this ship. He must have seen your soul when he was ferrying around the outer periphery, and took you as a substitute." Yun Zhen thought for a moment and then explained, "This formation is a ghost-sealing formation, which can suppress you for more than ten thousand years."
As she spoke, Yun Zhen touched the boat and said, "This seems to be a boat made of spiritual locust wood. I wonder if the person who used you as a substitute is the spirit of the locust tree itself, or an unlucky person like you!"
"How can Duan He come out?" Sister Liu asked hurriedly, "After he comes out, will his soul dissipate?"
"He has been recuperating in the locust tree for these years. He is already half a ghost cultivator. It won't be a big deal if he comes out." Yun Zhen suddenly glanced at the boatman and said, "If he wants to come out, just do as the previous people did and find a substitute."
As he was speaking, the wooden boat began to rise into the air again, and then flew rapidly towards the direction of Dongling Continent. This time the speed was much faster than before.
Moreover, Duan He turned back into the image of the sloppy boatman just now and didn't say a word.
"Duan He, what do you think?" Sister Liu asked, looking at Duan He's back. "Tell me! What do you think?"
In response to her, the boat speed was getting faster and faster. Sister Liu was almost knocked over because of the excessive speed.
Seeing that the man was silent and the East Continent was getting closer, Sister Liu asked angrily, "Speak! Talk to me!"
Duan He turned around and said in front of Sister Liu while picking his nose nonchalantly: "The boat is about to dock, remember to prepare the boat fare!"
"Stop pretending. You pick your nose with your thumb, aren't you afraid of stretching your nostrils?" Sister Liu was speechless. How could he still be so childish no matter how many years had passed?
Why do I always think that if I act in a way that makes her disgusted, she will turn around and leave? They have been waiting for this day to meet for more than a hundred years!
