"This evil man was not worthy of being a human being after his death. He became this fleshless fish and entered the River of Forgetfulness. As for this white fish, it was because his life was too miserable.

Because it was too painful, he lost his adult mind and voluntarily stayed here to become a ghost fish. "

Listening to the man's words, Gu Youyou felt an inexplicable soreness and pain in her heart.

This was a feeling she had never felt since arriving in the ghost city.

Bai Ling looked at the man curiously and said:
"Why become a fish when you can choose the animal path if it's too painful?"

The man said bitterly:

"Because the memory of fish is very short, only a snap of the fingers. Some people were too painful in life, and even if they were thrown into the animal realm, they could not forget the pain of the past. Therefore, after turning into fish, they will gradually forget their previous lives.

Only after completely forgetting the past and living in the Forgotten River for thousands of years can one enter the path of reincarnation again. "

The man who spoke looked into the distance, as if there was unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

"Boatman, please stop here!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Youyou stopped the boat in place, and the man in black looked bitterly at the river in front of him.

Then, he picked up a jade flute from his waist and started playing on the bamboo raft.

Unknowingly, a group of small white fish swam around their bamboo raft. One of the small white fish suddenly jumped out of the water and sank again.

The man stopped playing the flute and squatted down to look at the water.

The little white fish that just jumped out of the water was now floating on the water and facing the man's eyes.

The man looked at the little white fish tenderly, with an indescribable sadness on his face.

The little white fish didn't understand the sadness in the man's eyes and swam back and forth around the bamboo raft.

The man just sat quietly on the bamboo raft, watching the little white fish swimming.

Xiao Bailing and Gu Youyou looked at the man with curiosity. Xiao Bailing couldn't help but ask:
"Is this little white fish the person who was very miserable during his lifetime?"

The man smiled and said:
"Yes! It's because of suffering that I want to forget, and that's why I became a fish in this river of forgetfulness!"

Gu Youyou looked at the little white fish and sighed:

"Everyone wants to forget the past, but I can't even remember the past!"

Xiao Bailing listened to Gu Youyou's words and said:
"Youyou, didn't you just say that Ghost Mist Grass can help you recover your memory? How about I accompany you to find it?"

When talking about Ghost Mist Grass, the man next to him looked at Gu Youyou with burning eyes.

Gu Youyou shook her head:
"If you don't go, you and I will be dead before we reach Guiyin Mountain!"

The words of the two were heard by the man beside them, and the man chuckled:

"Do you want to find the Ghost Mist Grass?"

Gu Youyou raised her eyebrows and looked at the man:
"If you have this idea, you can go or not go!"

The man looked at Gu Youyou and said:

"Isn't this good? I have some cultivation. If you two want to find the Ghost Mist Grass, you might as well hire me to go with you!"

Hearing that the man was so eloquent, Gu Youyou immediately looked at the man.

She didn't believe that a man would be nice to her and Xiao Bailing for no reason.

"You help us get the Ghost Mist Grass? Then what do you want?"

The man looked at Gu Youyou deeply and said:

"After you get the Ghost Mist Grass, can you give me this bamboo raft? You know, there are no floating objects in the Wangchuan River, only floating bamboo. Your bamboo raft is made of floating bamboo." Bai Ling said at this time:

"You want to exchange a piece of ghost mist grass for our bamboo raft. Your abacus is going to hit my head! Besides, why do you think so well! Besides, since you can get ghost mist grass, why If you want us to go together, you can't go get the ghost mist grass and bring it to us, and then discuss this bamboo raft with us!"

Bai Ling said, looking at the man with disdain.

The man touched his nose sheepishly:
"This Ghost Mist Grass is special. The user needs to eat the Ghost Mist Grass the moment it is collected. Only in this way will it be useful to you!"

After the man finished speaking, he kept staring at Gu Youyou. Gu Youyou said nothing. The bamboo pole in his hand supported the bamboo raft and started to drive back.

Seeing that Gu Youyou didn't respond, a flash of anxiety flashed in the man's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and looked at Xiao Yu'er in front of him again.

It's just that the little fish no longer hangs around him and stays away from the bamboo raft when he talks to Gu Youyou.

Seeing Gu Youyou not answering, Xiao Bailing asked curiously:
"Youyou, what do you think?"

Gu Youyou shrugged:

"Memory is dispensable to me. If it's a chance, it'll be good to be able to recover it. If I have to take risks to find memory, then forget it! It's okay to be a ferryman every day!"

After saying this, the man opposite became a little anxious.

At this time Gu Youyou continued:

"What's the connection between you and that little white fish? If I want to hire you, you should at least let me know who you are. You said that the reason why this little white fish is a fish is because the previous life was too bitter. Did you bring the suffering?"

The man looked at Gu Youyou and smiled bitterly and said:

"Yes! I brought her suffering during her lifetime. Before I practiced cultivation, I was just a scholar in the mortal world. My wife took care of everything at home..."

The man's name is Peng Yuan, and he is just an ordinary scholar in this world. His wife takes care of all the trivial matters at home.

Even when he went to Beijing to take the exam, the money for his studies was earned through his wife's farming and embroidery.

But after taking the exam for 10 consecutive years, he never passed the exam, but his wife at home never complained at all.

Until the last time to take the exam, the man accidentally got the opportunity to practice.

Without thinking at the time, he gave up his wife and children at home and followed his master on the path of spiritual practice alone.

This journey lasted forty years.

In these forty years, men have gone from the Qi refining stage to the foundation building stage,

Because of his excellent qualifications, his appearance is fixed at around 30 years old.

In the early stage of advancing to Jindan, he thought of his wife who was more than forty years ago.

He thought of the woman who once haunted him in his dreams. So he returned to the mortal world to see his wife.

Before Peng Yuan left home, their house was on a hillside in a village. Because of their poverty, they had little contact with the people in the village.

Returning to the hillside again, Peng Yuan saw that his old house was still there. The yard is still there.

There are also chickens walking back and forth in the yard.

Peng Yuan looked at the familiar yard and familiar house, feeling extremely excited, thinking that when he left, his child would already be a teenager.

Now that I think about it, the children should have grown up.

So Peng Yuan walked towards his home with great expectation. But before reaching the yard, I saw an old lady staggering into the yard.

Behind the old woman there was an elderly man following behind with a stick. (End of chapter)
