Chapter 4111 Arrived at the destination
Before Li Chao could make a move, the small boat we were on began to shake violently, as if an invisible, powerful force was pushing us one by one into the icy river water.
Even someone as highly accomplished as Master Zhiqing was no exception; he fell into the water just like us.
In an instant, we were like lost souls in the River of Oblivion, thrashing about in the water, trying to get closer to that small boat again.
But the ferryman ignored us and rowed his small boat back the way he came.
We were so close to that little boat, yet our hands seemed forever unable to touch it. We could only watch helplessly as the ferryman and the boat drifted further and further away from us.
From afar, the ferryman's voice, sometimes near, sometimes far, suddenly drifted over: "We've arrived. You can go back now..."
Upon hearing his words, we all stopped struggling, and when we looked at the ferryman again, he had completely disappeared from our sight.
“Let’s go, let’s go in the opposite direction from the ferryman, maybe we can get out of here,” Master Zhiqing called out.
We agree; the ferryman has already told us where we are, so he certainly wouldn't cheat us.
I may not trust the ferryman, but I can't possibly distrust my master. He might swindle money from me under normal circumstances, but he would never take my life.
I am now the head of the Qimen lineage. If he tries to cheat me, I will expel this old man from the sect.
Led by Master Zhiqing, we swam quickly in the opposite direction from the ferryman.
The surrounding area was shrouded in mist, and everything in front of me was pitch black.
I felt that swimming like this was too tiring, so I released the mythical beast, the Centipede Viper. I climbed onto its back and let it carry me forward.
The slovenly Taoist priest and the chubby boy released the tiger dragon and the fat relic respectively, and the rest of the people climbed up as well.
Our group rode on several mythical beasts, swimming swiftly through the water.
After walking for more than an hour, the fog in front of me gradually thinned out. At that moment, I looked up and was overjoyed to see a sky full of stars.
In the Netherworld, there are no sun, moon, or stars. Since we can see the stars in the sky now, it means we have left the Netherworld.
Thinking of this, I shouted excitedly, "Brothers, we've made it out of the Netherworld alive! Look, there are stars above us!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and stared at the sky, their excitement overflowing with joy.
"My God, we finally made it out of the Netherworld alive! We're rich now!" The slovenly Taoist priest was incredibly excited.
We first escaped from the Fire Domain, and then we went through the even more terrifying Netherworld. We even walked through the gates of hell. Now we've finally returned to the human world. The feeling of seeing the light of day again is just too amazing.
In an instant, everyone cheered, and even Li Chao was very excited, clenching his fists and waving them incessantly.
For us, this was an escape from hell, but for Li Chao, it was even more significant. This time, he not only left that hellish place with us, but he was also able to rebuild his physical body and become a living person again, no longer in that half-human, half-corpse state.
Li Chao had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and finally, his dream came true.
We urged the mythical beasts on, increasing our speed and swimming rapidly in the water. Although we knew we had returned to the human world, we didn't know where we were.
It was nighttime, pitch black, and all we knew was that we were in a very wide body of water.
Thus, riding on these mythical beasts, we traveled through the water for more than an hour before reaching the shore. Once there, we saw the familiar flowers, grasses, and reeds.
I took a deep breath and felt a refreshing sensation in my lungs. It's so nice to feel like I'm in the human world.
The disheveled Taoist priest looked around and suddenly pointed in a direction, saying, "There are lights over there, it looks like a village. Let's go take a look."
Immediately, our group headed in the direction the slovenly Taoist priest had indicated. About twenty minutes later, we arrived at the village and saw a restaurant nearby that read "Poyang Lake Grand Hotel." Upon seeing this, we knew where we were. It turned out that we had come to the human world from a place where yin and yang met at Poyang Lake.
I know a bit about Poyang Lake. This place is known as the Bermuda Triangle of China. Countless ships have sunk here, and countless people have gone missing. It is precisely because of this that it has become a place where the living and the dead meet.
We're finally back in the human world, and no matter where we are, we're all very happy.
We left the village and continued walking for a while until we reached a nearby town. We found a hotel, booked a few rooms, and planned to get some rest. As for what to do tomorrow, we decided not to think about it for now.
This trip to the Fire Domain was truly arduous and exhausting, and quite thrilling. I need to rest and recuperate properly.
Everyone returned to their rooms, and I lay down on the soft, large hotel bed, but suddenly found it hard to fall asleep.
The scene of my master parting from me kept replaying in my mind, as well as the words the ferryman said to my master, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
This time, Master had the ferryman take us across the River of Oblivion. With so many people, I wonder how much of a favor Master owes that ferryman.
The identity of the ferryman is also a huge mystery. How did he get to know my master?
Perhaps I will never find the answers to these questions in my lifetime.
With all these random thoughts in my mind, I drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
When I woke up again, it was already one or two o'clock in the afternoon.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. I got up and opened it to find Little Fatty standing there, patting his big belly and saying, "Little Jie, I'm starving! I didn't eat anything in the Netherworld. I can eat a whole cow now. Let's hurry and find a place to eat!"
"Okay, I'm hungry too. Let's wake everyone up and find a place to fill our stomachs." I called out, went back to my room to wash up quickly, and then went downstairs where everyone gathered in the hotel lobby.
The sun was shining brightly in the hall, warming us to the touch. We looked at each other and burst into laughter, probably making us look crazy.
No one knows what we went through, and no one knows what we were laughing about. It's truly amazing that we survived this ordeal.
(Goodnight, remember to send some electricity, everyone.)
