In the room waiting for Jihun to pass through, many dead souls walked in one after another. Because Xia Qiu's clothes had been specially treated by Yu Hexian, it seemed that they didn't feel that she was any different from them. Besides, at this point, perhaps no one cares too much about the situation of other people. In short, they are all deceased monsters heading to where they should eventually go.
Xia Qiu sat on the bench near the corner, with Xiao Libai hiding in her arms. At first, there were quite a few empty seats, so everyone kept a certain distance from each other. But later, there were more and more dead souls in the room. An older monster came in and took a look, and then naturally The ground crowded around her.
It was a very big monster, and it looked a bit weird. Xia Qiu couldn't tell what kind of monster it was. He had white hair and white eyebrows. Although his head was big, his facial features were still kind. He was dressed in a fat and big robe. Drag on the ground.
As soon as the monster sat down, he smiled at her sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry, is it a bit crowded?"
His voice broke the silence in the whole room. The other dead souls raised their heads to look at him, and then looked away again.
"It's okay!" Xia Qiu shook her head in response to him. She didn't want to talk to him too much because she was worried that her fault would be revealed.
I thought that the monster would never talk to me again, but unexpectedly he asked again: "What kind of monster are you?"
"Plum Blossom Demon!" Xia Qiu lied casually.
"It looks like it to me! Haha, my name is Datou, and I was a glutton when I was alive. What's your name?"
Xia Qiu couldn't help but smile, thinking that his name really fit his image, then she thought for a moment and said to him, "My name is Xiaoqiu."
"Hey, that's a nice name!" Big Tou said naively.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and a dead soul ran into the house in a panic and shouted: "It's terrible, there are so many monsters in white cloaks coming outside, holding such old weapons in their hands." , he doesn’t look like a kind person, he seems to be looking for someone.”
When Xia Qiu heard the words "White Cloak", she was so frightened that she almost lost her soul. She didn't expect that when they were about to board the ship, they would actually chase them here again. She was so anxious that she turned to Da Tou and looked at him with pleading eyes. She said pitifully: "Da Tou, are you willing to help me once?"
Datou immediately understood her intention, quickly lifted up his robe and said, "If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. If you don't mind, just avoid it for now!"
Xia Qiu, who was facing a disaster and had no power to fight back, didn't have so many worries. She hurriedly got under Da Tou's robe, and then patted the little Li Bai in her arms a few times to comfort it so that it wouldn't make any noise. There was the sound of tapping footsteps outside, and she felt that her heart was already in her throat. In Datou's robe, she could vaguely see the blurry shadows of those white cloaks.
The white cloaks rushed into the house and looked up and down at the sitting and standing souls one by one. Their appearance is very terrifying. Most of their faces are covered. Only the albino skin and eyebrows can be seen on their foreheads, as well as cloudy brown pupils. Long nails protrude from their sleeves. When they lift those When they look at the faces of the dead souls that they think are suspicious, their nails almost dig into their flesh.
When a man in a white cloak walked up to Da Tou, Da Tou couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He tried his best to calm down and looked into the monster's terrifying eyes for a long time. Seeing that it finally turned around and left, he was relieved. The white cloaks made a strange hissing sound from their mouths, as if this was their language, and then walked away.
Datou waited for a while and saw that they did not turn back, so he quickly said to Xia Qiu: "Xiao Qiu, come out, those monsters have left!"
Xia Qiu climbed out of Da Tou's robe, with beads of sweat hanging on her forehead. She kept saying, "Thank you Da Tou!" Then she turned to the dead souls in the room who had not reported her and said, "Thank you all!"
The other dead souls glanced at her and turned away in silence.
"It was really thrilling just now! I have never seen such monsters before. What are they?! Why are they chasing you?!" Da Tou had a lot of questions to ask Xia Qiu.
"I don't know either. I just know that they have been chasing me since I came to this world!" Although Xia Qiu didn't want to deceive the kind-hearted Datou, at this time, she had no better way besides lying.
Datou nodded his huge head as if understanding and said: "Oh, that's right. Fortunately, they didn't catch you. What would happen if a weak girl like you was caught by those monsters!"
The crisis of being chased by the white cloak was temporarily over, and then how to get on the soul-saving ship became the biggest problem. Xia Qiu knew that it was no longer convenient to ask Datou for help. If he spoke too much, his identity would be exposed and he might be implicated. She could only pray silently in her heart, and everything would go smoother in the future.
The simple conch horn came in. She had heard this sound before. When the horn blew, it meant that the Jihun Ship had docked. She mixed in with the other undead and followed Big Tou towards the pier outside the house, and then stood tremblingly in the boarding team. Big Tou stood behind her and saw that her shoulders were shaking, so he patted them to comfort her. She said: "Don't be afraid, the Infinite Heaven is a great place! When you get there, you can eat whatever you want, have whatever you want, and play whatever you want!"
Although what he said was completely different from Xia Qiu's worries, she was still grateful, and her tension was slightly relieved because someone was talking to her to distract her.
In her eyes, the Jihun Ship looked like a large pure white submarine. There were a row of circular holes on both sides of the hull, and the oars protruded from the holes. The Worry-free Holy Child is guarding the only door at the front of the ship. From the outside, he looks about the same age as Min Entong. He has a very pleasant face, but his hair is all white and tied into a braid. He is blue. The clothes, pants, and golden vest are a bit like the clothes of the children in the New Year paintings. With a serious expression, he checked the souls who were queuing up to enter the soul-saving ship one by one, and only allowed them to go after careful observation.
The queue in front of Xia Qiu was getting shorter and shorter, and when she was still two or three away from her, she held her breath as the Yuhe Sage told her. This state reminded her of the Nai River in the underworld. On the river, they had to do this to avoid the dead souls in the river.
It was finally her turn to board the ship, and she was particularly worried about what the Holy Boy Wushou would ask her, because her anger broke out as soon as she spoke. Fortunately, the worry-free holy boy looked at her up and down and left and right out of habit, and then waved his hand to signal her to come in. She didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately entered the soul-saving ship. After walking a long way, she finally regained her breath with confidence.
At this time, Datou also walked in, and together they walked through the long corridor and came to a spacious hall. The dead souls who had just boarded the ship were also sitting on the ground here, and more and more dead souls walked in closer. Xia Qiu calculated that almost all the dead souls had come in, which meant that the time for sailing was near.
Suddenly, the Holy Child Wuyou burst in from the door. After looking back and forth for a few times, he locked his gaze on Xia Qiu. He stared at her angrily, as if he had recognized her identity. She didn't know what to do, but her body was unable to move as if he had cast a spell on her. Seeing him pounce on her and reach out his hand to catch her, she knew that all her efforts would be in vain.
At this time, Little Libai suddenly came out of her arms and bumped headlong into Wuyou Holy Child. Unexpectedly, it was quite strong despite its small size, and almost knocked Wuyou Holy Child off his back. The Holy Boy Wuyou stretched out his hand and knocked it away. Xia Qiu was worried about Xiao Libai's situation and had to accept the reality. For her, the last hope was gone and she could only resign herself to fate.
But a miracle happened again. The big head swung in front of her to protect her, and then the other dead souls also gathered around.
"Do you want to rebel?! Aren't you afraid that I will leave you all behind and destroy you all?!" the worry-free Saint Boy roared angrily.
But the dead souls still stood there expressionless, completely ignoring his threats. At this moment, everyone felt the hull of the ship shaking violently. The Jihun Ship finally set sail, and the spell cast by the Wuyou Holy Child on Xia Qiu was also lifted. She quickly ran to Little Libai lying on the ground and hugged it. Fortunately, it seemed to be a little frightened but nothing serious.
But the Holy Boy Wuyou still pointed at her and said, "You, come with me! Don't think that you will be fine when you reach the Infinite Heaven. I will hand you over to the practitioners of the Heaven!"
Xia Qiu gratefully nodded to the dead souls who had helped her, especially the big ones, and said, "Thank you very much, really!"
She didn't know why they helped her. If it hadn't been for them, she might have been kicked off the ship by the Holy Boy Wuyou. Could it be that she was destined to die, so she would definitely be arranged to meet Ouyang Xueye? Thinking about this, she became more and more courageous. She was no longer timid, but held her head high and followed the Holy Child out of the hall.
A door in the corridor opened somehow. Xia Qiu looked in through the crack in the door and finally saw what was hidden behind the round holes where the oars were placed. The oars were actually people with the figure of the Holy Child Wuyou. Almost like an old man with a white beard. They all wore colorful little hats on their heads, and their red cheeks and noses were so funny that Xia Qiu couldn't help but smile.
"You're very relaxed!" the Worry-free Holy Child said coldly.
Xia Qiu didn't respond to him, but felt strange that he knew that he was laughing just now even though he didn't look back. She was taken into a room at the other end of the soul-saving ship. Although this room was not as spacious as the room where the dead souls stayed, it was loaded with various complex equipment, and there was also a room that was automatically rotating to both sides to adjust its direction. The rudder of the ship should be the heart of the entire Jihun ship.
As soon as Wuyou Saint Child raised his hand, Xia Qiu flew towards a pillar on one side, and was then tied to the pillar by a rope that appeared out of thin air. He glared at her and asked: "Tell me, someone must have helped you successfully board the Soul-saving Ship, right?! Tell me the name of that person!"
"No one helped me!" Xia Qiu replied calmly. She really didn't think there was anything scary about the little face of the Holy Child Wuyou.
"Then tell me what exactly do you want to do to get into the boundless heaven?" Saint Wuyou continued to ask.
"I want to meet someone!" Xia Qiu felt there was no need to hide that he wanted to meet Ouyang Xueye, because sooner or later he would know.
"Oh? It's interesting. A person in the infinite heaven that humans want to see? Who is he?" The expression of the Holy Boy Wuyou was no longer so serious, and it was obvious that he was interested in her words.
"Ouyang Xueye!" Xia Qiu replied.
