Ever since he just heard from Immortal Yuhe that his body was probably occupied by other souls, Xia Qiu couldn't calm down. She held the cup in her hand tremblingly, looking at her face reflected in the crystal clear liquid in the cup, and asked tentatively: "Then what should I do now?"
Yuhe Sage wrapped her hands with his own, temporarily stopped her trembling, and then said: "You need to make your soul stronger! Because the reason why you become so powerless in this world, even I can't summon your weapon because the power from your soul is not enough to be used in the realm of soul separation. In addition, I am afraid that I can't protect you with my own strength. Therefore, you must go to see someone and let him He’s here to train you!”
"Who is that person?" Xia Qiu raised his head and asked.
"Ouyang Xueye!" Immortal Yuhe replied without hesitation.
"Xiao Leng's father?! But hasn't he already..." Xia Qiu couldn't believe her ears and exclaimed.
"From the realm of soul separation, you can reach the port that can go to the boundless heaven. It is also the only place where the world we are in now is connected with the entrance to the world where the souls of ordinary monsters go. There you must sneak on the soul-saving ship, As long as you take a boat to the Infinite Heaven, you will be able to find the former Demon King Fox Ouyang Xueye to help you and let him train you. I think it is perfect!" Yuhe Immortal said and let go of her hand.
"But how can I get on the soul-saving ship?" Xia Qiu once visited the place where she was waiting to board the ship in her dream, but she heard that only after the demon died could she board the white ship.
"The person who is looking after the ship is the Holy Boy Wushu. He looks like a seven or eight-year-old child. I will find a piece of clothing from this world for you tomorrow. When you board the ship, try to hold your breath and don't let him feel it. Your human breath. The ship cannot turn back as long as it sets out before the boundless heaven, because if it turns back, the souls of the monsters who boarded the ship before will be reborn, so you only need to hold on until the ship sails." Yuhe Immortal responded.
"Then when will I leave?" Xia Qiu continued to ask him.
She was no longer as nervous as before. When she heard that as long as she got on the Jihun Ship, she could go to the boundless heaven and even meet Ouyang Xiaoleng's father, Ouyang Xueye, she even started to get uncontrollably excited.
"Tomorrow morning! You rest here for the night first. It is difficult to find here, so it is relatively safe. I will return to the demon world now so that the crane can deliver a message to the royal city. The fact that your body is occupied by other souls is not a joke. , they must seize the time to find where Qingyun has hidden you. I will come back to pick you up tomorrow morning, and then send you to the dock where you can board the Jihun Ship." After saying this, Immortal Yuhe planned to leave. .
"I..." Xia Qiu hesitated. Although she didn't want to admit it, it was indeed scary for her to be left alone in this tree house after experiencing death.
Feather Crane Immortal seemed to see the fear in her eyes and whistled softly. Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings came from far outside. He pushed the door open and walked out, brought back a snow-white rabbit with wings from the platform, put it in Xia Qiu's hands and said, "Isn't it cute? I found this little guy in this valley. It is very docile." You see, it likes you so much, let it stay as your companion!"
The little white rabbit with wings kept pushing its head against Xia Qiu's hand, and then let her caress its body and purr with satisfaction. It sounded like a little pig, so cute.
"What's its name?" Xia Qiu raised it with both hands and put her nose close to its cold little nose and asked.
"I really don't know about this. This is also the first time I have seen such a creature. It is a species that only belongs to the soul-living world, and it is very rare. I have only seen one of it. Otherwise, you can give it to me. Give it a name!" When Immortal Yu He saw that Xia Qiu liked it so much, he couldn't help but squint his eyes gently and smile.
"What should I call you?" Xia Qiu said to himself while thinking of the line "The jade face is lonely and full of tears, and the pear blossom brings rain in spring" in Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". The pear blossoms that bloomed in the spring were white and gorgeous, and then I suddenly had an idea and said to the cute little girl who looked like a snowball in her hand, "I'll call you Li Bai!"
Xiao Libai blinked at her with a pair of round black bean-like eyes, as if she was responding that she was quite satisfied with the name.
"Well, I feel relieved to have Xiao Libai with you. Then I'll leave first, and I'll pick you up tomorrow morning!" After saying this, Immortal Yu He walked out of the tree house and disappeared.
Xia Qiu hugged Xiao Libai, lifted up the animal skin on the couch and got in. After a while, her body became warm. This state of soul separation was indeed different from the place where the soul usually left. She actually felt sleepy here, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she closed her eyes. There is no dream in this world. After falling asleep, the whole person is exactly the same as completely losing consciousness.
Until the sun shone in from the small window of the tree house and hit her face warmly, she woke up but didn't want to get up. Xiao Libai couldn't hold it any longer. She crawled out of her arms, shook her wings and hair, then scratched her face like a cat and licked her two front paws. .
The door of the tree house was suddenly pushed open, and Xia Qiu felt nervous, worried that the group of people from yesterday were chasing her, but that familiar voice reached her ears.
"Xia Qiu, Xia Qiu!"
Hearing that it was Yuhe Immortal, Xia Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and opened his misty eyes.
"Xiao Libai got up earlier than you!" Immortal Yuhe said with a smile and shook his head.
"Shall we leave now?" Xia Qiu sat up and asked with an embarrassed smile.
"Let's eat something first!" Yuhe Immortal handed over an exquisite red carved food box, and the aroma hit his face as soon as he opened it.
"It's noodles!" Xia Qiu took a look and sighed.
"Yes, I think this should look similar to the things in your world. It won't make you unable to eat it because it looks strange." Yu Hexian said calmly, without mentioning that he had to go around a lot in order to buy this box of noodles. Go through the dangerous jungle to a small city at the other end.
"Thank you!" Xia Qiu said gratefully, and then took the chopsticks. Just as he was about to start eating, he saw the longing eyes of little Libai beside him, and he kept twitching his little nose to explore this way, which looked very impressive. Really unable to bear to enjoy this delicious meal alone, she raised her head and asked Yuhe Sage, "Can he eat this?"
"Yes, I will get to know it, because I attracted it when I was eating, and then gave it some. Later, every time I came here, I would just whistle and it would appear." Feather Crane Sage affirmed. to answer.
So Xia Qiu picked up a noodle and blew it to her mouth, tested the temperature with her lips, and then placed it in front of Xiao Libai. Seeing it jump up all of a sudden, bite the noodles, and then suck it in little by little, it was so funny that she and Yuhe Sennin both laughed.
"Hey, you look like a little tiger when you eat!" Xia Qiu said, looking at its satisfied expression after eating one.
After she and Xiaolibai finished sharing the box of noodles, they put on clothes that belonged to this world that the Yuhe Immortal had found for her. Then he was about to set off with Immortal Yuhe to the valley where he could take the Jihun Ship. He was about to say goodbye to Xiao Libai, which really made her a little reluctant to leave.
Xiao Libai obviously couldn't bear to leave her, and she kept trying to follow the Feather Crane Immortal who was carrying her. Looking at its perseverance, Xia Qiu couldn't bear to leave it even more, wondering if it would be okay to be alone in the valley. What about loneliness? So he stretched out his hand and took it into his arms, using his body to shield it from the strong wind in the sky. The valley was getting farther and farther away from them, gradually disappearing from sight. She didn't know if she would have a chance to return to the tree house where she spent the night last night, and she didn't know what she would face ahead, but she had to Move forward, because only in this way can you have a chance to return to Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"Don't fall asleep on my back. It's no joke if you fall from such a height!" Yuhe Sage repeated this sentence all the way, and reminded her over and over again of meeting the Holy Child Wuyou. He didn't know when he had become so careless.
They flew for a long time and finally came to another valley filled with purple clouds and mist. Yuhe Immortal began to descend slowly. Passing through the layers of purple mist, they landed in front of the room where they had met Yu Chan before in Xia and Qiu.
"I remember this place!" Xia Qiu said after being gently placed on the ground by Immortal Yuhe.
"Oh?" Immortal Yu He looked at her in disbelief.
"It seemed like I was in a dream before. I said goodbye to Dongyao's little mermaid Yu Chan here. She boarded the soul-saving ship to go to the boundless heaven." She looked at everything in front of her, and it turned out that she met Yu Chan that time. It's not as simple as a dream.
"Then you have an extra companion when you return to the Infinite Heaven for the first time!" Immortal Yu He didn't know how much there was about the little girl in front of him that made him incredible.
"By the way, will I see Xiao Leng's mother in the Infinite Heaven? Is she there too?" Xia Qiu asked.
"She is a human being. After death, she will naturally go to the resting place of human souls. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to see her there!" Yuhe Immortal shook his head and replied.
After hearing this, Xia Qiu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, which meant that if she really died, she would never have the chance to see Ouyang Xiaoleng again. She couldn't forget the sad and desperate look in Ouyang Xiaoleng's eyes when he looked at her at the last moment of her memory in Chi Le Palace. His heart must be very painful, right? I don’t know if it has been restored now.
Yuhe Immortal suddenly put his hand on her shoulder, interrupted her thoughts and said: "I can't walk in with you, so I can only send you here. You can go to that room and wait with those demon souls." Come the soul-saving ship! As soon as the ship arrives, the conch horn will sound. Although I have asked the cranes to deliver the letter, I am still uneasy and want to go to the royal city in person."
"Thank you for everything you have done for me. I don't even know what to say." Xia Qiu looked at him gratefully and said, her eyes were moist, and little Libai in her arms made a humming sound. , as if to comfort her.
"Don't be sad, we will definitely meet again!" Immortal Yu He smiled at her, then lowered his head and touched the head of Xiao Libai in her arms and said, "Protect Xia Qiu, I will give her to you. Got it!"
Xia Qiu watched the Feather Crane Immortal spread his wings and fly into the purple mist, then turned to face the room where the souls were waiting for the soul-saving ship. He mustered up the courage to hug Xiao Libai tightly and walked towards the room.
