Infinite flow: The non-African's partner is the European emperor

The tree at the bridge head hung with lanterns has become the most eye-catching thing in the city.

All the shops on the street were closed, leaving only the lanterns at the doorways still lit; the bustling streets became empty and deserted.

Under the lantern tree, there stood a person quietly. He was tall and straight, yet he exuded an unspeakable loneliness. From a distance, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I felt that his figure looked particularly lonely under the reflection of the lantern. His shadow fell on the ground, dragging very long. That shadow was like a demon with bared fangs and claws.

Jiang Zhi asked a soul-searching question: "Is he a human or a ghost?"

Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at him carefully for several times. Although this person had human energy, the ghost energy was greater than the human energy. However, this human energy did not come from his body, but...

On the man's back was a female ghost wearing a red wedding dress.

It was the red wedding dress again, and Chen Xuan shuddered violently.

After hearing what he said, Xie Fei felt that it was good that they couldn't see it.

They walked towards the man, who noticed something and looked at them. The next second, a weird smile appeared on his face.

"You are here."

After hearing what he said, Xie Fei and the others stopped, as if they were curious about whether there was a trap ahead.

"I know what you are looking for." This man was like an NPC. He automatically accepted the mission when they approached.

Xie Fei hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards him.

"From what you said, you want us to help you with something?"

The words that were about to come out of the NPC's mouth were swallowed back by Xie Fei's sudden words, as if Xie Fei had interrupted him.

"I want you to help me find someone?" The NPC nodded.

Xie Fei glanced behind him. Although he couldn't see anything, he subconsciously thought that this NPC might be looking for the female ghost lying on his back.

"Before I agree to your request, I want to ask you a question."

"Please ask." This NPC has a really good temper and always has a calm expression.

Xie Fei asked bluntly: "Why do you use human skin to make lanterns?"

Hearing his question, the NPC didn't find it strange, as if he had known they were going to ask this.

"The oil from burning human skin will have a special fragrance that can attract demons and monsters. I want to try if this is true."

Xie Fei narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't believe this wording at all.

If he really wanted to burn human skin, why would he make it into the shape of a lantern?

The NPC looked at Xie Fei and saw that he didn't believe him, so he explained: "Everything I said is true. I made it into a lantern just because I can carry it along. The oil from the burning human skin will drip as I walk. The lonely ghosts on the roadside will follow me. This is attracting ghosts."

Chen Xuan got goosebumps at the indifferent voice and couldn't help but think of the group of strange people walking in the white mist on the stage. So that was the ghost-luring described by the NPC?

"Why are you doing this?" Xie Fei asked him.

The NPC paused for a moment, a layer of sadness appeared between his eyebrows, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I'm looking for someone."

Xie Fei: "Human or ghost?"

The NPC gritted his teeth and changed the subject: "I'm looking for... a ghost."

"That's my wife."

As the words fell, a cold wind blew past them. From Chen Xuan's perspective, the female ghost had already gotten off the NPC's body and was standing quietly beside him. Her long black hair was blown by the wind and her eyes were tender and lingering.

"My wife has had poor health since she was a child. Not long after we got married, she died of illness. I once saw a method of attracting ghosts in an ancient book, but this method requires human skin, so this is what happened today."

Chen Xuan couldn't help but remind him, "When a person dies, he will go directly through the gates of hell. Once he crosses the Naihe Bridge, it will be useless no matter how much you lead him."

NPC: "But someone told me that my wife didn't leave."

Chen Xuan was silent. He was stupid. The real owner was right next to him, but he was curious about who told this person.

The NPC lowered his eyes and said, "That was a senior. I heard that he was also a ghost guide. After successfully finding the person he was looking for, he stopped guiding ghosts. He wandered around all year round and sometimes appeared on the Yellow Spring River. He was called..."

"Ferryman." Chen Xuan had heard of the existence of this kind of person.

"Yeah." When the NPC heard him say this name, he couldn't help but look at Chen Xuan twice more, and then continued: "At that time, I had been depressed because of my wife's death. One night, I drank a lot of wine and walked to the bridge. I planned to commit suicide to accompany my wife..."

There was no moon that night, so the sky was dark and the water seemed bottomless.

The water rippled and a small boat came from nowhere, which scared him and sobered him up.

A small boat slowly sailed alone on the river. On the bow, an ancient square lantern hung high, illuminating the small space with dim light. The man behind the lantern was wearing a black gown, tall and straight, but his face could not be seen clearly. His black hair was scattered on his back, and the whole person seemed to blend into the night, looming and elusive.

"Are you looking for someone?"

When he heard the man's voice, he immediately broke out in a sweat, but soon became excited and asked quickly: "I want to see my wife."

"I can teach you how to do it, but I want something in exchange."

"I promise, I can agree to anything as long as I can see my wife!" He was so excited that he agreed without even listening to what the man said about the deal.

Later the man told him that he was a ferryman.

The ferryman taught him how to attract ghosts and told him that after he found his wife, he should bring her to see him, and then he could keep his wife by his side.

But he searched for a long time and still couldn't find his wife. As time went by, he began to wonder if the ferryman had lied to him.

"He didn't lie to you." Chen Xuan said in a deep voice: "The method of attracting ghosts is real, but do you know why he is called the ferryman?"

The NPC looked confused. He really hadn't thought about this question.

Chen Xuan concentrated and said, "The so-called ferryman leads the wandering ghosts to where they should go. That's why he can lead ghosts, and that's why he is called the ferryman."

"But you are different."

"The ghost you attracted..."

A cold wind blew and the lanterns on the tree were blown down, the lights inside were blown out, and it suddenly became dark.

"They are all following you."

The more times he attracts ghosts, the more ghosts will follow him. If he does not lead these ghosts to where they should go, he will be torn to pieces and eaten by them.

"I know."

Unexpectedly, the NPC's expression was still so calm, and he even smiled.

"Because that's the deal I made with that senior."

The ferryman needed many, many ghosts, but he could only lead a few ghosts at a time. He needed others to help him lead the ghosts, so he chose himself.

Xie Fei didn't expect that there were so many infatuated people in this world. He didn't know whether to say they were stupid or foolish.

Chen Xuan rubbed his sore eyes. He had seen too much ghost energy, which caused his eyes to feel a little uncomfortable.

Xie Fei patted him on the back, asked him to stand at the back, and left the rest to him.

"Those ghosts behind you want to tear you apart and eat you." Xie Fei pointed at the river behind him and said frivolously, "But do you know why they haven't taken action yet?"

The NPC's body trembled.

Xie Fei pointed to his side again and said slowly: "Because there is a ghost protecting you."

"The person you are waiting for has already arrived."

Xie Fei had just used a prop that allowed him to see ghosts. At first, he was really frightened by the dark ghosts on the river surface, but he calmed down after making sure that these ghosts would not harm them.

Zhou Xing felt the hand holding his was trembling a little. He lowered his eyes slightly to take a look, then moved away as if nothing had happened. He did not expose Xie Fei, but just stayed with him quietly.

The NPC subconsciously looked to his side, but saw nothing.

But suddenly a cool breeze blew past his ears, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"flourishing."

"I'm here."

It’s a pity that he could only feel the wind in his ears and couldn’t hear his wife’s gentle response.

"I want to meet the ferryman you mentioned."

Chen Xuan and the others looked at Zhou Xing in confusion when he said this.

Xie Fei was also a little confused, but he just moved his lips slightly without saying anything.

Never mind, if he wants to go, let him go.

The NPC nodded in agreement. He had already found Qianqian and it was time to go find the ferryman.

They walked to the bridge not far away.

The moonlight tonight is not hidden behind the clouds like that day, but instead pours its cold moonlight onto the water.

Xie Fei leaned close to Zhou Xing and whispered in his ear, "Brother, why do you want to meet that ferryman?"

Zhou Xing pinched his earlobe and said in a light tone: "Curiosity."

Actually, it wasn’t. It was his OL who reminded him just now.

[OL: Mr. Zhou Xing, would you like to meet the ferryman? ]

I don’t know how long I waited, but the water surface rippled and a small boat swam out from the darkness, passing through the thousands of ghosts. A dim light was still on at the bow of the boat.

The ferryman raised his head and looked directly at Zhou Xing.

The two people's gazes are so similar, equally indifferent, equally deep.

Xie Fei subconsciously tightened his hands and actually felt a palpitation.

"You did a good job." The ferryman looked away and looked at the NPC and the female ghost beside him. "I have found the person you are looking for. I can help you keep her by your side, and I will take these ghosts away."

"I..." Looking at the NPC's expression, he hesitated.

"I want to ask something." Xie Fei lay on the stone railing, raised his hand and interrupted them.

The ferryman's eyes fell on him, and his dark, deep, and cold eyes moved slightly, as if they were a little gentler. "Ask."

Zhou Xing's expression became increasingly cold; he hated the look of the ferryman.

Before Xie Fei could ask, Zhou Xing grabbed his shoulders and held him in his arms. His head was turned and pressed against his shoulders.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Xie Fei couldn't break free from Zhou Xing's arms. He just felt that this man's mood seemed wrong.

Zhou Xing held his waist tightly, looked at the ferryman, and asked the question on behalf of Xie Fei: "How do you keep the ghost by a person's side?"

The corners of the ferryman's mouth seemed to rise a little, making him look more real.

"There are many ways, depending on which one he wants."

"Raising a ghost is the best way." When he said this, he suddenly touched his chest, as if there was a ghost there, "As long as I can keep a person by my side, any method is fine, isn't it?"

"Okay!" The NPC seemed to be persuaded by him and agreed immediately, "I can raise a ghost."

Chen Xuan said quickly: "Raising a ghost requires your life..."

"I don't care. I'll be with her even if I die."

Xie Fei was still trapped in Zhou Xing's arms and couldn't see anything, but he silently added: "Then you can just die and reincarnate with her. Maybe you can continue your happy relationship in the next life?"

The ferryman's body trembled slightly, his fingers tightened slightly, he took a step back, and hid himself in the darkness again so that they could not notice anything unusual about him.

"That's a good idea." The ferryman's voice became a little hoarse, "But if it were me, I wouldn't let the person I'm thinking of out of my sight. Will we definitely meet in the next life?"

"Everyone will die." Xie Fei frowned, and said with a bit of displeasure in his tone: "It doesn't matter whether you die early or late. Even if you miss the person you are supposed to meet, you will meet him again. It's useless to force the person you are not supposed to meet."

Zhou Xing tightened his grip and lowered his head to kiss Xie Fei on the top of his head.

"Fortunately..." Fortunately we met.
