After Shen Luo recalled for a moment, he suddenly remembered that when he was in the Western Region, the little monk Jiang Liu had told him that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had made a great vow, "If hell is not empty, I will not become a Buddha." Later, he entered the Nether World and converted all the ghosts in hell.
At that time, he had mentioned that there were some ferries in the Nether World that were used to receive the dead souls in the four major continents. Among them, the ones built in the major cities were City God Temples.
The ones in the remote mountains were called "Ghost Mountain Gate" and were under the jurisdiction of some grass-headed mountain gods. The ones in the rivers and waters were under the jurisdiction of the water gods in the Water Mansion and were called "Underworld Ferry."
However, because there were few people who died in the mountains and many drowned in the rivers, the City God Temple was difficult to find, but the Underworld Ferry was easy to find.
Shen Luo buried the bodies of the people and gods who died tragically in the Five Villages Temple and left soon.
Now that the mountains and rivers were broken, the larger cities had basically been destroyed. Even if there were some remaining, some temples related to the Celestial Court and the Nether World had long been occupied by demons.
Shen Luo did not look for the City God Temple, but directly found the Underworld Ferry hundreds of miles away from the Five Villages Temple.
It was called the Underworld Ferry, but in fact, it was not a ferry, but a bend in the river.
When he came here, he saw that the banks of the river were densely packed with "figures". At a rough glance, there were thousands of people.
Before he got close, Shen Luo saw that the banks of the river were covered with black fog and resentment.
The dense crowd along the river was not people, but ghosts. A group of wandering ghosts that had no one to guide them to.
After the Underworld was conquered, the Six Paths of Reincarnation was no longer in order, and there were no more Underworld Envoys who came to the mortal world to guide the ghosts. As for these dead souls whose consciousness was incomplete, they only gathered here because they sensed the Underworld Aura at the Yellow Spring Ferry.
Seeing Shen Luo descend, a large number of ghosts were attracted by his vitality and revealed ferocious expressions. They pounced on him one after another, causing resentment to surge as if they were being attacked by a ghost tide.
Shen Luo's body glowed brightly. He raised his sleeves, and an invisible pressure began to brew. With a gentle sweep of his sleeves, he would be able to wipe out nearly ten thousand ghosts along the banks of the river.
After a moment of hesitation, he put down his sleeve and waved it in front of him.
Immediately after, a blood-red light flashed and a huge ghost banner appeared in front of him. Tens of thousands of blood-red lights shot out and swept in all directions. In just a few breaths, all the ghosts along the river were swept up and pulled into the ghost banner.
Inside the ghost pennant, tens of thousands of ghosts wailed, their voices shaking the heavens.
Shen Luo sighed. With a wave of his hand, he sealed the ghost streamer and put it away.
He didn't refine these ghosts. Instead, he stored them away, intending to bring them back to the underworld.
Otherwise, if these ghosts were allowed to gather here, it would only be a matter of time before the resentment of the ghosts gathered. Thousands of ghosts would devour each other, and a Ghost King would be born.
The human world was already too chaotic. If it could be quieter, then it should be quieter.
The ghosts on both sides of the river were instantly purged, and the resentment that had accumulated there was also gradually dissipated by the gentle breeze of the river.
Shen Luo came to the river and looked around. He didn't see any ferry.
His eyes lit up and he looked at the center of the river again. He saw an inconspicuous whirlpool in the middle of the river. The river water inside was turbid, but there was a faint aura of the underworld emitting from it.
"Looks like it's here."
Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something at the bottom of the river.
He raised his hand and gently waved. Suddenly, a green flame lit up at the bottom of the river and gradually floated up to the surface.
"Extradition ship?" Shen Luo was slightly surprised.
What floated out of the water was an ancient wooden boat with two pointed ends that tilted upwards.
There were many cracks on the hull, and there were signs of repair everywhere. There was a long pole at the bow of the ship, and on the pole was a lamp burning with a green flame.
Shen Luo jumped onto the wooden boat. With a creaking sound, the boat sank a little.
"Fortunately, it's not as weak as it looks."
Shen Luo picked up the long pole and took off the lamp. He found that there was a yellow greasy oil inside. It was corpse oil that was extracted from the human body.
He hung the corpse oil lamp on the tip of the ship's bow with some disgust. He propped up the long pole and dived into the water. He supported the hull of the ship and slowly moved towards the whirlpool in the center of the river.
The ship looked shabby, but it wasn't affected by the current at all. It steadily reached the edge of the whirlpool.
First, the bow of the ship sank. Then, the entire hull of the ship swayed and fell.
Shen Luo stood on the ship. His body was steady, and he didn't move at all.
As the ship continued to descend, with a "splash" sound, Shen Luo fell into the water together with the ship. However, the moment he fell into the water, no water splashed onto his body. He only felt as if he had passed through a layer of enchantment.
The next moment, the ship, which had plunged into the water, flipped in the air and came to the surface of a river.
Shen Luo was a little surprised. He lowered his head and looked at the river below him. He saw a little green light at the bottom of the river. It seemed that he had entered the Underworld.
After looking for a moment, he withdrew his gaze. While releasing his Divine Sense to explore the surroundings, he held the pole in his hand and moved along the direction of the river flow.
At this moment, he frowned slightly and turned to look behind him.
He saw that in the river behind him, green light flashed frequently. Shadows of nothingness floated from the water.
"Water ghosts …" Shen Luo looked at them and found that they were only a few water ghosts that hadn't reached the Out-of-Body Stage. He didn't pay much attention to them.
He held the bamboo pole in his hand and sped up.
In front of him, the terrain seemed to have changed. The water flow became more and more rapid.
The few water ghosts behind him suddenly sped up. After a while, they swam near Shen Luo.
As they approached, the few water ghosts seemed to have noticed that Shen Luo's aura was not weak. They didn't dare to make any moves. They just glanced at him hurriedly and floated forward quickly.
Seeing this, Shen Luo suddenly raised his eyebrows and waved his hand in front of him.
A golden light flew out from his hand and turned into a curved blade. It fell into the water.
"Boom!" A loud sound was heard.
Huge waves of hundreds of feet high suddenly exploded on the surface of the river. The river stopped flowing for a moment, revealing a riverbed covered with white bones. The figures of the few water ghosts were instantly destroyed by the golden light and turned into ashes.
Shen Luo waved his hand casually. A small hand condensed from the river under the hull of the ship reached out and handed him a dark red blood talisman.
"Blood Explosion Talisman … It's enough to deal with a True Immortal Early-stage …" He sneered.
Obviously, a True Immortal Ghost King was targeting him. Because he wasn't sure about Shen Luo's cultivation, he sent these water ghosts to test his strength.
Shen Luo turned around and looked behind him. He didn't find any unusual aura.
"Your Aura Concealment Technique is pretty good, but don't try to probe me. Take advantage of the fact that I don't want to bicker with you and quickly get lost. Otherwise …" Shen Luo paused for a moment, but didn't say anything harsh.
But it was only a moment. The river of the Underworld that stretched for nearly a thousand miles behind him froze instantly.
In the river hundreds of miles away from him, a demonic man with a snow-white face and dressed in green was following along the river on a Underworld Boat made of the skull of a big demon. The river below him froze instantly.
He sensed that something was wrong. As soon as he jumped up, the Underworld Boat below him was completely frozen.
The figure of the man in green was a little illusory. He stared at Shen Luo and a trace of hesitation appeared on his pale face.
But soon, he felt relieved. He raised his hand and reached into the ice. A green fire burned and soon the frozen Underworld Boat was thawed. He pulled it out of the ice.
He sat on the Underworld Boat again. He didn't dissolve the river water and just chased along on the ice.
