Chapter 101: A Trip to the Underworld
It was almost two o'clock when Lin Shiying and Xuanyuan Qi returned home, and as soon as they got home and said hello to their parents, they went directly to their room with Xuanyuan Qi to prepare.
"What happened to these two kids? Ran into the room as soon as you came back? ”
"How do I know?"
"You say, the two of them won't have any feelings, right?"
"I said that you are such a Laozi? So what about your own son? ”
"Hey, just kidding."
"Disrespectful to the old."
Lin Shiying and Xuanyuan Qi didn't hear the conversation between Father Lin and Mother Lin, if they did, they might sigh that these two kept pace with the times, right?
Lin Shiying, who returned to the room, sat at the desk, while Xuanyuan Qi sat directly on the bed.
"Xuanyuan, now that the matter of going to the underworld has been decided, you should tell me what is going on with that Soul Returning Fruit now? What does it look like, otherwise I won't know it even if I see it. ”
looked at Xuanyuan Qi who was sitting on the bed and looked like a hanger again, but Lin Shiying didn't care about this, but asked him directly about this soul fruit, because he had never heard of this so-called soul fruit before.
"The Soul Fruit is also known as the Life Renewal Fruit. Because this thing can not only make people's souls return to the body, of course, it must be the soul out of the body under abnormal circumstances, but it is also the life of the soul out of the body is not exhausted, if the life is exhausted, even if it is an unnatural death or the soul out of the body, it can't be saved.
The fruit is not large, the size of a grape grain, and the whole body is gray and white. Grows next to the Nai He Bridge in the underworld. Legend has it that this Soul Fruit Tree was planted by King Jizo with the breath left behind by those reincarnated souls.
Therefore, the fruit contains a strong breath of the soul, which is also the reason why the wounded soul can be restored.
However, this time the soul fruit only ripens once every thousand years, and there are only three fruits ripening at a time, and every time it is ripe, it is personally picked by the king of Hades, one is given to the king of Jizo, and the other two are kept by the king of Hades.
But I don't know the exact maturity date, maybe only Hades himself and Jizo are clear. However, each time there are two fruits, Hades will keep one, so even if it is not the time for the Soul Fruit to ripen, Hades should have the previously ripened Soul Fruit in his hands. ”
Xuanyuan Qi also knew that the stakes were high, so he put away the hanging appearance and said in detail.
"Gray and white, but by the bridge, the soul fruit. Okay, I see. Anything else? ”
After listening to Xuanyuanqi, Lin Shiying thought back in a low voice, and after confirming that he had memorized everything, he raised his head and asked Xuanyuanqi if there was anything else to add.
"No, that's about it. Boss, don't you ask me why I know this? ”
Looking at Lin Shiying, who stood up and walked out, Xuanyuan Qi asked curiously.
"What do you say?"
Hearing Xuanyuanqi's question, Lin Shiying did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically, this sentence moved Xuanyuanqi more than a direct answer, he knew that Lin Shiying was treating him as a brother, and he unconditionally believed that he would not ask half a point.
"Boss, wait a minute."
Xuanyuan Qi, who was secretly moved in his heart, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped Lin Shiying. And Lin Shiying heard Xuanyuan Qi call him again, and turned back to ask Xuanyuan Qi suspiciously.
"What's wrong?"
"I suddenly remembered that the Soul Returning Fruit can't be connected to a person's body, because once it touches a person's body, the heat of the human body will melt and evaporate the Soul Returning Fruit."
"If that's the case, then I won't be able to get it back even if I find it?"
Xuanyuan Qi's words made Lin Shiying couldn't help frowning, if the Soul Returning Fruit couldn't withstand the heat of the human body, then what was the point of him going?
"Boss, listen to me, the Soul Fruit can't be directly touched by our human bodies, but don't forget, when you go to the underworld, you can use your own soul to go to the underworld. You can use your soul to bring back the Soul Fruit and eat it directly to Zhang Shufang. ”
"Are you sure it's okay?"
The soul is not a trivial matter, if you don't get it right, it is easy to have an accident, and if you are in a trance for a few days, the soul will not be able to return to the body, and then you will become a lonely ghost.
"Don't worry, boss, we're like this, at night when your soul leaves your body and goes to the underworld, I will guard your body, and then return to your body when you come back, don't worry, boss, I know the severity."
Looking at Lin Shiying's disbelieving eyes, Xuanyuan Qi said very seriously.
"It's too much trouble to go back and forth. That's it, Xuanyuan, let's go back to the Heaven Bar first, there are many private rooms there, I choose one, and then I will leave my body there, you help me guard it, if we successfully get the Soul Fruit, I will let Zhang Shufang eat the Soul Fruit first, and then I can go back to my body directly, which also saves time and reduces the trouble that may occur on the road. What do you think? ”
Looking at Xuanyuan Qi's serious expression, Lin Shiying thought about it, and still felt that it was safer to go directly to the Paradise Bar.
"Well, indeed, it's safer this way, or the boss has a way."
"Okay, don't be poor, let's go."
Lin Shiying and Xuanyuan Qi walked out of the room and downstairs. I went downstairs to say hello to my parents and walked outside.
"Dad, Mom, we're out."
"Hey, Seying, let's go out after dinner."
"No, you can eat, there's still something to do, let's just eat outside."
Lin Shiying, who had just gone out, heard her mother's voice and hurriedly answered, and this answer became farther and farther away.
On the way, Xuanyuan Qi asked Lin Shiying curiously.
"Boss, you said we're back to Paradise now, so what about our trip home just now? Isn't that redundant? ”
"Really? You don't really think those four ghosts are going to wait at my drink shop 444, do you? ”
Listening to Xuanyuanqi's question, Lin Shiying smiled and said something that Xuanyuanqi didn't understand.
"yes, why don't they wait there? Didn't you say the same? They are here for the ghosts of Han Feng, and now that the ghosts of Han Feng have been destroyed, what are they going to do? ”
"Do you really not know or do you not know? Do you think they'll be so obedient? Let's assume they don't know that the underworld has this Soul Fruit, but what if they do? If they know the true purpose of my descent to the underworld, do you think they will take me down?
Although I can go down myself, it will be a lot more troublesome, and we don't know how long Zhang Shufang's situation will last, so we need to get it done as soon as possible. ”
Xuanyuanqi's innocent expression made Lin Shiying think that he really didn't know, but Lin Shiying knew that Xuanyuan Qi was thoughtful, in fact, he knew it for a long time, but he just didn't want to say it.
"I see, I said, why did you bother to run home."
"I didn't go home just for that, I went to get my backpack anyway."
As he spoke, Lin Shiying pointed to the backpack he was holding in his arms.
When Lin Shiying and Xuanyuan Qi arrived at the door of the Paradise Bar, they found that there was no one here. This makes Lin Shiying very strange, it stands to reason that there is no one in such a popular paradise bar?
"Forget it, no matter, Xuanyuan, let's go in."
If you don't understand, you just don't want to, and beckoned Xuanyuan Qi to walk directly into the Paradise Bar and walk towards the private room on the second floor.
In the innermost private room, Jiang Xue and Wu Xin were among them, but what they didn't know was that there was another person here. Zhang Shufang was placed on the sofa in the private room, Jiang Xue sat next to Zhang Shufang in order to observe the situation, and Wu Xin was responsible for walking around in the private room.
"I said Wu Xin, can you stop walking around all the time, I'm dizzy when I walk."
Looking at Wu Xin, who was always walking around in the private room, Jiang Xue said helplessly about him.
"I, I'm not worried about Seying and them?"
Hearing Jiang Xue's words, Wu Xin stopped and said.
"Are you worried? I'm worried, too, but your worries about walking around like this won't help. You might as well sit there and wait. It's not that you don't know Shiying's ability, they will be fine. ”
While they were talking, Wu Xin and Jiang Xue suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor.
