Chapter 8: The Soul Is Hard to Return
After a long time, Shu Kui's hearing gradually recovered, and the shouts in his ears, the neighing of horses, the barking of dogs, and the sound of golden leather came and went.
"Let him go, it's just a child." It was her own voice, not loud, but overpowering a cacophony.
"But that's ......" some people don't want to.
"Let it go." Shu Kui's voice was soft, but his tone was firm.
The dissenting man was silent.
After that, all the sounds disappeared again, and Shu Kui fell into a dead silence, as if he was in a vacuum.
After a while, she was still talking by herself, but she was weak, as if she was terminally ill: "Go back, I won't get better." ”
After saying just one sentence, Shu Kui was dragged into the black and deep whirlpool, feeling his body constantly spinning, and he was so dizzy that he wanted to vomit.
"She's not awake yet?" Fortunately, Ling Jiuchuan's voice pulled her out from far and near.
"It should be soon." Tamashino is also nearby.
"Dare to be passive and slack off, and deduct three months' wages." This time, Ling Jiuchuan leaned into his ear and said it.
Shu Kui sighed in his heart and opened his eyes.
"Sure enough, I woke up when I heard about the deduction of wages." Ling Jiuchuan stood beside the bed, looking at her condescendingly.
"What's going on?" Shu Kui was tired, and these words were a little out of breath.
"You two just mess around, and next time, you will be left to fend for yourself." Ling Jiuchuan looked very angry, and walked away as soon as the words fell.
Shu Kui didn't know what he was angry about, and turned to Yu Xiao with a blank face, hoping to give an explanation.
Yuxiao helped her sit up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it was my negligence." ”
It turned out that during the day yesterday, Ling Jiuchuan had called Yuxiao in front of him.
"I might have to go out tomorrow." He said, "If I'm not here, it's up to you to take Shu Kui back." The final arrangement, when Elder Jin returns, I will sue you. ”
Yuxiao replied "yes" and retired, not taking this matter to heart.
In the evening, not long after sending Shu Kui back to the dormitory, the message sent by Ling Jiuchuan arrived, confirming that he was not in Haocang Palace the next day, and asked Yu Xiao to lead Shu Kui to the road early in the morning, and go back quickly.
At that time, Yuxiao was finishing the day and arranging the next day's work, and she was very busy, so she planned to wait until everything was done before going to talk to Shu Kui. Unexpectedly, she got off work, and as soon as she returned to her room, she felt extremely tired, her eyelids were fighting, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was dark, and it had been a long time since she went to work, Yuxiao ran to Wanjilou, but was told that Jin Luoluo had just come, and after that, she and Shu Kui were gone.
Yuxiao's heart sank, and he immediately ran to Haocang Palace.
On the second floor, Jin Luoluo's room was empty, and on the wall, the door to the road was wide open.
Yuxiao secretly said that it was not good, and immediately rushed in.
The road was crowded as always, Yuxiao ran in the direction of the world, while looking around, and finally, at the fork in the road between people and ghosts, he saw Shu Kui alone.
At this moment, she was staring somewhere ahead, and with an anxious expression, she stepped on the road to the underworld.
"Shu Kui, come back quickly!" Tamashi screamed, but as soon as she spoke, she was drowned out by the crowd.
She wanted to catch up, but five or six people suddenly appeared in front of her, completely blocking the way.
"Xiaoxiao, you can think about it again." The leader is Hu Zhao, who sees a young man who loves one and is idle.
"No way, get out of the way." Yuxiao didn't even look at him, he just wanted to hurry up and chase Shu Kui.
Hu Zhao asked his subordinates to block the ground left and right, but they didn't let it pass: "What is there to do in charge of the palace?" There are so many trivial things every day, and I am annoyed to death, so it is better to resign and follow me to be the young grandmother of the Hu family, what do you want, leisurely. ”
"Impossible, get out of the way!" Yuxiao's tone intensified, and she couldn't help but be angry.
"What do you want, say." Hu Zhao still didn't know each other, "It's not a boast, in the entire Kuixian Kingdom, except for His Majesty the King and Boss Li in the Sai world, there is no richer than my family." ”
"I want you to get out of the way." Yuxiao gritted her teeth and shook her hand.
No one could see what was going on, only a smell of burnt paste, and then Hu Zhao was heard screaming loudly.
"Fire! Fire! He held his head and his feet jumped in pain.
Only then did the minions realize that it was the master's hair that caught fire, and they hurriedly helped to extinguish it.
Yuxiao took advantage of this opportunity to bypass everyone, but found that Shu Kui had already disappeared after such a delay.
She was so anxious that she came to the sinking forest outside the road as fast as she could, and stepped on the path leading to the Ghost Gate, not daring to relax at all.
After a while, the ghost gate was close in front of him, and I saw Shu Kui's body lying on the ground, his soul floating in the air, surrounded by countless ghosts like flies, fighting for each other, in a vain attempt to monopolize this precious body and soul, return to the yang world, and reincarnate as a human being.
Yuxiao was frightened, shook his hands repeatedly, and flew straight over one after another like fireballs, burning the ghosts that were in the front, forcing them to retreat, and finally clearing a small piece of open space.
At that time, Shu Kui's soul was damaged, and he was no longer conscious, and his body was just an empty shell, which seemed to be heavier and heavier, and those ghosts who were not injured, seeing Yu Xiao's shoulder and hand dragged on his back, were very inconvenient to move, and quietly gathered over, looking for an opportunity to attack again.
Yu Xiao knew that his current situation was very passive, so he used his mana to form a talisman enchantment, hesitated for a moment, took off the lock spirit silk wrapped around his waist, and tied Shu Kui's soul.
Under the effect of the lock spirit tape, the soul floated lightly into the air, like a balloon, which made Yuxiao feel a lot more relaxed.
She carried Shu Kui's body on her back, took three steps and made two steps, and it didn't take long for her to go to the road and return to Jin Luoluo's room.
"What's going on?" Jin Luoluo had also returned, and when he saw Shu Kui like this, he was so frightened that his face was pale.
Yuxiao didn't have time to explain, so she came directly to Shu Kui's room, first untied the lock and wrapped it around her waist, and then put her body on the bed, and after a rough inspection, she became a little worried.
And when doing this qiē, Jin Luoluo always followed closely behind, constantly asking "what's wrong".
"Because of you, she almost died." Tamashi was impatient with the question and replied angrily.
Jin Luoluo was stunned: "She wants to go home, I just want to help." ”
Yuxiao glanced at her, didn't say anything, and began to lure Shu Kui's soul into the body, but no matter how hard she tried, the soul only floated an inch high on the body, and it just couldn't fit in.
Seeing this scene, Jin Luoluo asked again and again, "What's wrong?"
"Go back, you can't help." Tamashi was really tired of listening.
"Shu Kui will be fine, right?" Jin Luoluo didn't want to leave yet.
"No, it won't." Yuxiao said this, but in fact, he was completely bottomless in his heart.
Jin Luoluo saw that he really couldn't do anything more, so he had to reluctantly leave.
Yuxiao carefully examined Shu Kui's injuries again, and found that although the physical body was intact, the injuries on the soul's ankles were more severe than expected, and it was not strange that the two could not be fused.
She paced back and forth helplessly, thought for a long time, went back to her room to get a piece of paper, wrote a few words, folded a few folds and threw it into the air, and the paper turned into a paper crane and flew away.
This flying crane note is the most commonly used means of communication in the Three Frontiers, the flight speed is determined by the level of mana, Yuxiao gave the paper the maximum mana that it can bear, and the paper crane only took more than an hour to reach Ling Jiuchuan's hands.
Ling Jiuchuan was in the mountains of Youlan Country, seeing that the paper crane came suddenly, he had faintly felt that something was wrong, and when he opened the letter paper and saw the words "Shu Kui is injured and his soul is difficult to return", his brows were almost twisted into a knot.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong in the palace?" Jin Yi, who was beside him, asked.
Ling Jiuchuan shook his head slightly, didn't say anything, gathered his mind, folded the letter paper again, and said aloud to the gate of a village in front of him: "Leave your name, your surname, and keep what you need, and you can take the gold, silver and jewelry." ”
"Moliu pearls, jadeite silver, only barefoot pure gold." Someone inside the door answered.
"Deal." Ling Jiuchuan said.
"Welcome to Liujin Village, guest officer, please." With the welcome speech, the two large wooden doors of the cottage slowly opened.
Facing them was a dirt road that could accommodate two cars, leading Ling Jiuchuan and Jin Yi to a small two-story Chinese-style building.
When they walked into the door of the small building, they saw that the entire floor was a bar, and the wall behind the bar was full of many notices, some asking for information, some offering rewards for killing, and so on.
"What do you want?" The waiter greeted him.
"Let's look for Liu Fei." Jin Yi said.
"He's out to do business, he's gone." The waiter pointed to a seat, "Please take a seat, who else are you looking for?" ”
"He's not there? Nonsense. Jin Yi didn't sit down, his face was displeased, "It was the time and place he said himself, and he asked us to come to him." ”
"Really, boss, Liu Fei is not here." The waiter doesn't look like he's lying.
Jin Yi was furious, and grabbed the waiter's neckline: "Don't play tricks with me, call him out quickly, don't you want gold?" Enough. ”
His move made the bar instantly quiet, everyone's eyes turned, and several big men stood up and slowly gathered closer.
"Boss, it's really true, I don't dare to play tricks with you." The waiter's face did not change, and his heart did not beat.
At this time, the bartender behind the bar spoke: "Elder Jin, Liu Fei is indeed not here, don't embarrass him." ”
Jin Yi was shocked when he was called to reveal his identity, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that the bartender was of medium height, thin, and white on the baby's face, with a pair of big black and white eyes, long and curled eyelashes like a doll, a straight nose, ruddy lips, and healthy pink cheeks.
"Adults talk, children don't interject." He saw that the bartender was fifteen or sixteen years old, and his heart relaxed.
"Elder Jin, forget it, Lord Rong Zhai will never lie to us." Ling Jiuchuan thought of the rumors in the rivers and lakes, and he had a firm grasp of the identity of the bartender.
