Chapter 352: : Islands in the River Styx

On the boundless, treacherous and ever-changing Styx River, a small boat drifts with the waves.

Lu Yu stood at the bow of the boat, and the ferryman stood at the stern. He looked at the boundless river in silence. The ferryman swayed the oars, and the boat under their feet moved slowly on the Styx.

The water of the Styx is not the water of Taiyin.

Lu Yu just tried to refine the Styx water using the eighth-level method of refining the power of the lunar star, but it didn't work.

It means that the water of the Styx is not the Taiyin water he is looking for, or in other words, the water here is not what he is looking for.

"Zhao Tianjue shouldn't tell himself the wrong news." Lu Yu pondered, and a new thought occurred in his mind, "Did I find the wrong place?"

Putong putong There was a sound of slapping the water surface not far away, Lu Yu turned his head to look, and saw a gray soul body struggling in the Styx.

The ferryman rowed the boat and approached the struggling spirit body. When he saw the boat approaching, the struggling spirit body swam here desperately.

After swimming for a while, he could clearly see the ferryman standing at the stern wearing a black shoji. His soul body hurriedly turned and swam into the distance, trying his best to stay away from the ferryman's boat.

However, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get away from the boat.

The ferryman rowed the boat unhurriedly, caught up with the spirit body struggling to escape, raised the oar in his hand, and smashed it down with a blow.

In an instant, the soul body lost all power and slowly sank.

The ferryman grabbed it from the air, and his soul turned into a ray of light and flew into his palm. He shot the light ball in his palm into the lantern hanging on the stern, and the lantern lit up with a faint light.

Lu Yu looked at the lantern curiously, and could see the miniature version of the soul body, floating weakly inside the lantern.

"Do you know the water of Taiyin?" Lu Yu looked up at the ferryman.

The ferryman shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's the first time I've heard of the water of Taiyin. Did you come to the Styx for the water of Taiyin?"

Lu Yu nodded, "Yes."

The ferryman stopped talking, and drove the boat to wander the Styx River. When he saw the spirit body struggling in the water, he went over and grabbed it into the lantern.

Sometimes you can also see souls wandering aimlessly on the water. Souls that have lost their minds are also one of the targets of the ferryman.

After Lu Yu's observation, he found that those souls struggling in the water seemed to be wicked people who committed many evils in their lifetimes. He struggled to get rid of the invisible sins in the Styx.

As long as they successfully get rid of their sins, these souls can also enter the underworld and become the normal life of the undead.

However, there is often no one out of a hundred. So far, Lu Yu has only seen one soul body break free from sin, successfully walk to the river, and then disappear into the Styx in front of him and the ferryman.

After asking the ferryman, Lu Yu realized that what they were trying to get rid of was sin.

There are more or less sins, as long as there are dead creatures, but some people have more sins and it is difficult to break free, and some people have few sins and are easy to break free.

Those souls wandering on the river are the dead souls who have died too many times and lost their minds.

They can't leave the Styx River, they can only wander on the Styx River. When they are found by the ferryman, they will be sent to reincarnation.

He couldn't fly on the Styx River, so Lu Yu could only stay on the ferryman's boat. He once tried to dive into the bottom of the Styx River, but just sitting on the boat and touching the water of the Styx River with his fingers, he felt that the vitality in his body was rapidly weakening.

If he dares to dive into the Styx, he will surely die.

Instead, he found that his blackened right hand bone was not affected by the water of the River Styx.

The ferryman looked at Lu Yu's raised right hand, the movement of his hand stagnated slightly, and there was a look of thought in his eyes.

Lu Yu shook off the Styx water in his right hand, the dead flesh and blood quickly peeled off, and strands of blood ran up the black hand bones, restoring the corroded flesh and blood of his right hand.

The newly grown flesh and blood exudes a faint golden glow. If you look closely, you can see the dense spiritual patterns lingering on the surface of the cells that make up the new flesh and blood.

Lu Yu is not yet immortal, and can restore the flesh and blood of his right hand that was corroded by the water of the Styx, all relying on consuming a lot of his own spiritual energy to actively promote cell division.

It will take a long time for his right hand to return to normal.

Lu Yu also didn't realize that the black bone on his right hand caught the ferryman's attention, and the ferryman didn't speak either. His expression was hidden in the darkness of his clothes, making it elusive.

Huhuhu There was a strong wind blowing on the Styx River, the ferryman put down the oars, lifted the lantern hanging at the stern, and walked towards the bow.

When Lu Yu saw the ferryman approaching, he made way for him.

I don't know what the boat was made of. The two of them stood on the bow without any tendency to capsize, and they were still stable as usual.

Watching the ferryman raise the lantern in the wind, Lu Yu carefully observed the surrounding movement.

The wind and waves are getting bigger and bigger, and even the boat can't stand still, and it bumps up and down with the water waves.

Standing on the boat, Lu Yu felt that his soul was about to be blown out of his body by the wind.

The ferryman opened the lantern, and the soul inside couldn't wait to rush out of the lantern, fell into the gust of wind, and was carried away by the surging ghostly wind.

He turned the lantern over and poured the remaining soulless souls into the wind, and all the souls were taken away by the wind.

The extinguished lantern was hung by him on his waist, and the ferryman stood on the bow, opening his arms to welcome the blowing of the dark wind.

The ghost wind that can blow away the soul, after passing through the shroud on his body, its power is greatly reduced, and when it passes through his body again, the magazine in his soul body is taken out of the body, leaving only the purest soul power.

The dark wind had been blowing for a long time, and all the souls on the river were taken away by the wind. Lu Yu was lying in the middle of the boat, and with the help of the hulls on both sides, he was able to barely stabilize the soul in his body from being blown away by the dark wind.

The soul body that is blown away will be brought to reincarnation by the underworld wind, which is why, even if more and more dead people choose to stay in the underworld, the reincarnation of various worlds can still proceed normally.

In fact, the undead living in the Netherworld are only a few of the countless dead after all.

Otherwise, Lu Yu would not have seen a boundless desolate and foggy land.

The high wall doesn't really cut off the underworld, it just encloses the area where the normal undead live, but the enclosed area is too large.

So much so that all the undead think that the black wall cuts off the netherworld and blocks all the treacherous dangers in the misty land on the other side.

The wind stopped. The ferryman also hung the lantern to the stern and picked up the oars. He looked a little excited and a little tired now.

"Hoo I'll take you to a place, maybe you can find what you want there." The ferryman took a breath and said.

Lu Yu got up, his mind was still a little confused, he felt like he had suffered a concussion, and some couldn't hear the ferryman's words clearly.

The ferryman didn't wait for Lu Yu's answer either. He shook the paddle vigorously, pushing the boat to move quickly on the Styx.

After a long time, Lu Yu returned to normal. Looking at the fast boat, he asked strangely, "Where are you going?"

"You'll know when you arrive," said the ferryman.

I don't know how far I walked, an island appeared in front of Lu Yu, an island floating on the Styx River.

The boat entered the port of the island. Before the ferryman stopped the boat, a figure appeared beside the boat. It was a pure black skeleton. It was the first time that Lu Yu saw a living creature with a body in the underworld.

"Get out of here." The black skeleton said indifferently.

The ferryman put down the oars and said, "I brought you a "person" who will surprise you."

Hearing the words, the black skeleton turned to look at Lu Yu, and at first glance he saw his right hand that had not fully recovered.

At that moment, Lu Yu seemed to feel that light flickered in its empty eye sockets.
