Chapter 172: Soul Relief Ship
In the room waiting for the soul to wear, many souls walked in one after another. Because the clothes on Xia Qiu's body have been specially treated by the Feather Crane Immortals, it seems that they don't think she is too different from themselves. Besides, having come to this point, perhaps no one cares too much about the situation of other people, in short, they are all deceased youkai who go to where they should end up.
Xia Qiu sat on the bench near the corner of the wall, and Xiao Libai was hidden in her arms. At first, there were quite a lot of empty places, so everyone kept a certain distance, but later on, there were more and more dead spirits in the house, and a very old youkai came in to take a look, and then naturally crowded around her.
It was a very big monster, it looked a little weird, Xia Qiu couldn't tell what kind of monster he was, he was already white-haired and white-eyebrowed, although his head was big, his facial features were quite kind, and he was wearing a fat robe and dragged it to the ground.
As soon as the monster sat down, he smiled at her embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, isn't it a little crowded?" ”
His voice shattered the silence in the room, and the other ghosts looked up at him, then looked away again.
"It's okay!" Xia Qiu shook his head in response, because he was worried that he would show his feet, so he didn't want to talk to him too much.
I thought that the monster would not talk to him anymore, but I didn't expect him to ask again, "What kind of monster are you?" ”
"Plum Blossom Demon!" Xia Qiu casually lied.
"I look like it! Haha, my name is Big Head, and I was a gluttonous ghost when I was born. What is your name? ”
Xia Qiu couldn't help but laugh, thinking that his name really matched his image, and then thought for a moment and said to him, "My name is Xiaoqiu." ”
"Hey, that's a nice name!" The big head said humbly.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and a revenant ran into the house in a panic and shouted: "It's amazing, there are a lot of monsters in white cloaks outside, holding such old weapons in their hands, it doesn't look like a good kind, it seems that they are looking for someone." ”
Xia Qiu was so frightened when he heard the words of the white cloak that he almost lost his soul, but he didn't expect that when he was about to board the ship, they would chase him here again. She was in a hurry, turned to the big head next to her and looked at him with pleading eyes, and said pitifully, "Big head, are you willing to help me once?" ”
The big head immediately understood her intentions, and quickly lifted the robe and said, "If there is anything to say later, if you don't dislike it, then avoid it first!" ”
Xia Qiu, who was in danger and had no power to fight back, how could she have so many concerns, she quickly got under the big head's robe, and then patted the little pear white in her arms a few times to reassure it not to make a sound. There was the sound of tapping and tapping footsteps outside, and she felt her heart go to her throat, and the faint shadows of the white cloaks could be faintly seen in the big head's robes.
The white-cloaked men rushed into the room, looking up and down at the sitting and standing spirits. Their appearance was terrifying, most of their faces were obscured, except for albinism skin and eyebrows on their foreheads, cloudy brown pupils, long nails sticking out of their sleeves, and when they lifted the faces of the ghosts they thought suspicious, their nails almost dug into their flesh.
When a white cloak walked up to Big Head, Big Head couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he tried to calm himself down, and looked into the monster's terrible eyes for a long time, and he was relieved to see that it finally turned away. The white cloaks hissed strangely, as if that was their language, and walked away.
The big head waited for a while, seeing that they didn't turn back, and hurriedly said to Xia Qiu: "Xiaoqiu, come out, those monsters have already left!" ”
Xia Qiu crawled out of the big head's robe, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and kept saying, "Thank you, big head!" Then she turned to the souls in the room who had not told her and said, "Thank you! ”
The other revenants glanced at her, but remained silent and turned away.
"It was really thrilling just now! I've never seen monsters like this, what the hell are they?! Why are they chasing you?! "Big head has a bunch of questions to ask Xia Qiu.
"I don't know, I just know that they've been chasing me since I came into this world!" Although Xia Qiu didn't want to deceive the kind boss, she didn't have any better way than to lie at this time.
The big head nodded at his huge head and said, "Oh, that's right, it's good they didn't catch you, how could a weak girl like you get caught by those monsters!" ”
The crisis of being chased by the white cloak was temporarily over, and then how to get on the soul ship became the biggest problem. Xia Qiu knew that it was inconvenient to beg for the help of the big head, and if he said too much, it would be easy to expose his identity, and it would also affect him. She could only pray silently in her heart, and everything would go more smoothly after that.
The quaint conch horn came in, she had heard this sound before, and the horn blew to mean that the soul ship had docked. She mixed in with the other undead and followed the big head towards the dock outside the house, and then stood tremblingly in the boarding procession, the big head stood behind her, and saw her shoulders shaking constantly, so he patted her on it and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, the Infinite Heavenly Realm is a good place!" When you get there, you can eat what you want, what you want, and play what you want! ”
Although what he said was completely different from Xia Qiu's worries, she was still grateful, and her nervousness was slightly relieved by the distraction of someone talking to her.
In her eyes, the Soul Ship looked like a large pure white submarine, with a row of circular holes on each side of the hull, and oars sticking out of the holes. From the outside, he looked about the same age as Min Entong, and his face was very pleasing, except that his hair was all white and tied into a braid, and he wore blue clothes and trousers, and a golden vest, a bit like the children in the New Year's paintings. With a serious expression, he checked the souls who lined up to enter the soul ship one by one, and only after careful observation was he refused to let them go.
Xia Qiu's front line was getting shorter and shorter, and when there were still two or three of them to reach her, she held her breath as the Feather Crane Immortal had told her, and this state reminded her that on the Nai River in the Yellow Springs Country, they also had to do this in order to avoid the ghosts in the river.
When it was finally her turn to board the ship, she was especially worried that the Sanssouci Holy Child would ask her something, because as soon as she spoke, her anger broke. Fortunately, the carefree child habitually looked her up and down, left and right, and then waved his hand to signal her to enter. She didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately entered the soul ship, and walked for a long distance before finally regaining her breath with confidence.
At this moment the big head also walked in, and together they walked through the long corridor to a large hall, where the souls of the dead who had just boarded the ship were also sitting on the ground, and the spirits of the dead kept coming in close and close. Xia Qiu calculated, the dead soul has almost come in, so it means that the time to sail is near.
Suddenly, Sanssouci Holy Child burst in through the door, and after looking back and forth a few times, he locked his eyes on Xia Qiu's body, and he stared at her angrily, as if he had recognized her identity. She didn't know what to do, but her body couldn't move as if he had cast a spell, and she knew that all her efforts would be in vain as he pounced on her and reached out to grab her.
At this time, Xiao Libai suddenly got out of her arms and crashed headlong into the Sanssouci Holy Child, but she didn't expect that the little one had a lot of strength, and this time she almost knocked the Sanssouci Holy Child on her back. As soon as the carefree holy boy stretched out his hand to send it away, Xia Qiu had to accept the reality while worrying about Xiao Libai's situation, and the last hope for her was gone, so she could only resign herself to fate.
But a miracle happened again, and the big head shook up to her to protect her, and then the other souls also gathered around.
"Are you trying to rebel?!Aren't you afraid that I'll leave you all behind and let you be wiped out?!" The Carefree Holy Child roared.
The spirits still stood there expressionless, completely oblivious to his threats. At this moment, everyone felt the hull of the ship shake violently, the soul ship finally set sail, and the spell cast by the Sanssouci Holy Child on Xia Qiu was also lifted, she quickly ran to the little pear white lying on the ground, and picked it up, fortunately it seemed to be only a little frightened but it was fine.
But the carefree holy boy still pointed at her reluctantly: "You, follow me!" Don't think you'll be fine when you reach the Infinite Celestial Realm, I'll leave you at the disposal of the Celestial Walkers! ”
Xia Qiu nodded gratefully to the souls who had helped her, especially the big head, and said, "Thank you, really! ”
She didn't know why they had helped her, and if it weren't for them, she might have been thrown off the ship. Could it really be that she was destined to die, so she would definitely arrange for her to meet Ouyang Xueye? Thinking of this, she became more and more courageous, and she was no longer timid, but raised her head and walked out of the hall after the Sanssouci Holy Child.
A door in the hallway somehow opened, and Xia Qiu looked through the crack in the door, and finally saw what was hidden behind the round holes where the oars were placed, and it was some white-bearded old man about the size of Sanssouci Holy Child. They all wore colorful hats on their heads, and their red cheeks and noses were very funny, which made Xia Qiu smile.
"You're so relaxed!" Sanssouci Holy Child said coldly.
Xia Qiu didn't respond to him, just felt strange, he didn't look back but he could know that he was laughing just now. She was led by him into a room on the other side of the Soul Relief Ship, which was not as spacious as the one where the Souls were staying, but it was loaded with all kinds of complex equipment, and there was a rudder that was automatically rotating to both sides, which was supposed to be the heart of the entire Soul Relief Ship.
As soon as the Sanssouci Holy Child raised his hand, Xia Qiu flew towards a pillar on the side, and then was tied to the pillar by a rope that appeared out of thin air. He glared at her and asked, "Tell me, there must be someone who helped you if you were able to board the Soul Relief Ship smoothly, right?!" Name the man! ”
"There's no one to help me!" Xia Qiu replied very calmly, she really didn't think there was anything terrible about the little face of the carefree holy child.
"Then you tell me what you want to do when you want to infiltrate the Infinite Heavenly Realm?" The carefree child continued to ask.
"I want to see someone!" Xia Qiu felt that there was no need to hide that he wanted to see Ouyang Xueye, because sooner or later he would know.
"Oh? Interesting, a human being who wants to meet in the immeasurable heavenly realm? Who is he? Sanssouci Saint's expression was no longer so serious, and it was obvious that he was interested in her words.
"Ouyang Xue Night!" Xia Qiu replied.
