Time has become indifferent to the years, and in a blink of an eye, it is another year of spring and autumn.
That day was the first time Xia Dongqing worked the day shift at convenience store No. 444. But on that day, his master Jiang Chen mysteriously disappeared and left his sight.
On the same day, Zhao Li also disappeared silently. Not long after, convenience store No. 444 closed down. Xia Dongqing could not figure out the secret hidden in his body until the end.
This secret was like a vicious curse, because not long after, Wang Xiaoya had a car accident, and when he felt beside her, she was already in a dying state.
"I will come back. When the moon turns red, I will definitely come back..."
Before she died, Wang Xiaoya left him a last message, but it could not save the sadness in Xia Dongqing's heart. He suffered for a whole year, and then he hid the sadness deep in his heart, and then he left for the first time. .
He took the postgraduate entrance examination and went to Binhai University to study for graduate school.
Although Binhai University was not as good as the university he studied in the capital, he just wanted to leave the sad place in the capital, and he wanted to escape the secrets hidden in him.
However, this secret is hidden deep in him. Wherever he goes, the secret will follow him. It seems that he will never be able to get rid of this established fate.
Unable to contend, unable to escape, and even less willing to face it, Xia Dongqing simply ignored it and just ran an ordinary life that did not belong to him. He even took advantage of the spiritual practice taught to him by his master Jiang Chen. He no longer continues to practice any other method.
Everyone wants to control their own destiny, but is destiny really that easy to control
Those eyes can still see things that ordinary people cannot see, and he can still foresee the death messages of others. Even if he stops practicing, the method of practice will still run in his body as usual, and he will continue to refine the immortal wine. His strength and cultivation gradually increased to a rather profound level without even realizing it.
If he had to make a comparison with his current state, he felt that he might not have enough experience now, but his cultivation level was definitely not inferior to that of Zhao Li, who was the soul ferryman.
Xia Dongqing was not happy at all about this. He found that the more he tried to get rid of it, the more he couldn't get rid of it. Fate was entangled and fate was hard to change. It turned out that he had never been able to escape.
Gradually, he didn't care anymore. Since fate had chosen him and he couldn't get rid of fate, he might as well just go with the flow. He really wanted to see what kind of situation fate would push him to.
Time passed like this. In the blink of an eye, it had been a year since he came to Binhai. Although his cultivation was getting deeper and deeper, his life was becoming more and more peaceful. He thought that such peace would last forever, but soon, This peaceful life has come to an end.
Because, on this night, when he suddenly raised his head, he couldn't help being completely stunned, because:
The moon in the sky turned red!
"I will come back. When the moon turns red, I will definitely come back..."
In his mind, he inexplicably remembered what Wang Xiaoya had said to him when he died. At this moment, Xia Dongqing felt that his body was trembling.
Of course he understands that people cannot be resurrected after death, but he also knows that this is not absolute, because his master Jiang Chen is a great magical person who can change life and death!
Just when he was in agitated mood, suddenly, in his arms, the iPhone 8, which had been silent for a long time, the phone rang. This was the first call in more than two years.
Because this is not an ordinary mobile phone. From the beginning, after his settings, it was impossible for ordinary people to make calls.
Is it Xiaoya? !
With trembling hands, he picked up the phone very steadily. However, the voice on the other end of the phone, although familiar, made him feel particularly disappointed: "Sister Mulan, is it you? What do you want from me?"
It turned out that the person who called him was Hua Mulan, who was also the ferryman of souls like Zhao Li, and it sounded like her tone was very anxious.
"Something happened to Mr. Zhao. I'm going to look for you now."
As it was about Zhao Li, Hua Mulan was indeed very anxious. It took almost no time for her to appear in front of Xia Dongqing, "Long time no see, Xia Dongqing."
"Yes, Sister Mulan, after all, we haven't seen each other for more than two years."
Xia Dongqing was not surprised at all that Hua Mulan was able to find her current location, and came to him in such a short period of time. If the soul ferryman didn't even have this ability, then it would be called Strange. Compared with this, he was more concerned about Li Zhao's situation, so he immediately asked: "What's wrong with Li Zhao?" From that day on, Li Zhao completely disappeared from his world. Get up, he hasn't seen Zhao Li for more than two years.
Opposite me, Hua Mulan looked very anxious: "I don't know. A few days ago, Brother Li suddenly received a mission. He originally wanted to take me with him, but I couldn't leave at that time. Waiting for me After finishing what I was doing, I wanted to ask Brother Li if he still needed help, but I couldn't get in touch with him. Later, I went to his house but couldn't find him, so I went to the underworld to look for someone. I checked, but they also said that Zhao Li hasn’t been there for several days. I’m very worried about him. I think... something must have happened to Li’s brother."
"Are you thinking too much? Official Zhao is so powerful, how could something happen so easily?"
Hearing this, Xia Dongqing couldn't help but frown: "Do you have any special contact information between the ferrymen? Maybe he is entangled in something now and he can't get away."
"impossible."
Hua Mulan was very excited when she spoke: "We ferrymen have aura on our bodies. No matter how far apart we are, we can feel each other's position through this aura. But since Brother Li disappeared, I I can no longer feel his aura. I really have no choice. I remember Brother Li told me that he left a mark on your body. Please show me whether the mark on your body is still there. .”
"Mark? When did he leave a mark on me? How could I not know?"
Hearing this, Xia Dongqing was stunned. For some reason, there was an inexplicable unhappiness in his heart, because Zhao Li did this not because he cared about him. If he said it was for surveillance, he might believe it more. .
"In short, he left a mark on you a long time ago."
Hua Mulan said anxiously: "It's on your shoulder. It's usually hidden. Only the Soul Ferryman can use corresponding techniques to make this mark emerge."
After a moment of hesitation, Xia Dongqing opened his clothes and exposed his shoulders. Then, as Hua Mulan made a burst of handprints, the light flashed into his shoulders. Suddenly, the word "Li" with a faint golden light slowly appeared. However, at this moment, the word "Li" looked very dim, and the golden light on it was even more looming, as if it might dissipate at any time.
"Brother Li, something really happened."
Hua Mulan saw the dim word "Li" on Xia Dongqing's shoulder. Instead of calming down, she became even more anxious. She quickly said: "Xia Dongqing, I need your help. Brother Li left a mark on you. You two must have a stronger sense of each other than others. Try to see if you can sense Brother Li's position through the mark. We don't have much time. The mark on your body was left by Brother Li, otherwise , if something happens to him, the mark on your body will also disappear."
"Can I help?"
Xia Dongqing felt a little unsure after all. After all, Zhao Li had lived for more than a thousand years and his cultivation was advanced enough to be comparable to that of ghosts and immortals. But now, Zhao Li was missing. He didn’t know whether he was seriously injured or whether he was directly injured. Imprisoned, but no matter which one it is, since the other party can hurt Zhao Li, it shows that he is powerful and unusual.
"Are you hesitating?"
Hua Mulan said: "Dongqing, I beg you to help me this time. After all, you and Zhao Li are also very good friends. You will definitely help, right?"
"Yes, I will help!"
Although the future is uncertain, Xia Dongqing agreed to Hua Mulan's request anyway. Although he and Zhao Li often quarreled at convenience store No. 444, they had long regarded each other as friends. Now something happened to Zhao Li Not to mention missing, even if he was dead, Xia Dongqing would go and get his body back...
