CHAPTER 1726: CHAPTER 1028: ARE YOU THE ASURA NINE DOCTORS?

Chapter 1028

As expected, Mo Jiuli stood at the Sanzu Riverbank. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she saw a ferry slowly approaching from the middle of the river. To put it plainly, it was just a small boat...

Not long after, the ferry arrived in front of Mo Jiuli and Lingling. At the bow stood an elder wearing a black bamboo hat, draped in a loose black long robe. His face was pale and ordinary...

"Forty Soul Pearls to Santu City," the old man said in a hoarse voice.

"Alright," Mo Jiuli nodded, taking out forty Soul Pearls and handing them to the old man. The elder opened the plank, and Mo Jiuli led Lingling aboard.

The ferry slowly set sail, and Mo Jiuli and Lingling noticed that although the elder held a paddle in his hand, he didn’t row it. He was merely holding it. Mo Jiuli and Lingling sat quietly on one side, without speaking; the boat was not fast. Mo Jiuli could clearly see the still waters of the Sanzu River and sense its corrosive aura, along with the faint crying of ghosts...

"Mother, why is this old man always sneaking glances at us?" Lingling asked Mo Jiuli in her heart. If it weren’t for the unmistaken gaze from under the elder’s bamboo hat, they might not have noticed it.

"Ignore it. Maybe he’s just curious!" Mo Jiuli replied indifferently.

"Okay, I understand," Lingling said.

"Are you from the Lingtian Continent?" the old man suddenly asked Mo Jiuli.

Mo Jiuli was taken aback but then nodded, "Yes!"

Hearing Mo Jiuli’s words, the old man reached up and removed his bamboo hat. His eyes were somewhat excited as he looked at Mo Jiuli, making her very curious.

"Are you one of the Asura Nine Doctors?" the old man asked excitedly as he looked at Mo Jiuli.

"And you are?" Mo Jiuli asked with a frown; it had been a long time since she heard anyone mention the title Asura Nine Doctors, and she didn’t expect a ghost to bring it up here.

"It really is you, wonderful, thank you, thank you so much..." the old man said, suddenly kneeling in front of Mo Jiuli.

Mo Jiuli quickly helped the old man up, saying, "Elder, please stand up, do you know me?"

"Ah... yes, I know you, to be precise, I recognize your aura!" the old man replied, looking at Mo Jiuli with eyes full of gratitude.

"My aura?" Mo Jiuli asked, thoroughly puzzled.

"That’s right, my name is Zhou, I’m from Fengye City in the Lingtian Continent. Actually, I’ve been dead for a long time. Because I didn’t do anything bad during my lifetime, I couldn’t let go of my old companion and my grandson, who has been sick since childhood, after I died. So, I never went into reincarnation and couldn’t bear to forget my family. After entering the Netherworld, I worked hard in the Mianqi Forest to accumulate Soul Pearls, eventually managing to secure a job ferrying across this Sanzu River...

I’ve been here a long time, and occasionally, I secretly return to the Human World at night to watch over my old companion and grandson! It’s just, seeing my grandson’s condition worsening day by day and my old companion growing weaker from exhaustion, it breaks my heart! Sometimes I wish I could just have them join me in death...

But I know my old companion lingers on for the sake of our grandson, who is barely alive. Until that one night, I went back and saw you with a woman treating my grandson. I witnessed you curing him with my own eyes...
