"Xia Qiu, wake up!"

The familiar sound came from the ears, although not too big, as if it broke the long-standing silence. Before that, all Xia Qiu's memories stayed at the moment when she fell in a pool of blood, death was far less painful than she imagined, and it was not so terrible, she kept looking at Ouyang Xiaoleng in the second before she died, but she couldn't remember what kind of expression she said goodbye to him.

But there was a voice calling her name and waking her up. She also wanted to sleep a little longer, just like this, immersed in the long silence of darkness and death, without any distress or concern, so that she could not help but feel that she was in a black river flowing downstream, and perhaps soon she would reach the other side of the light.

"Summer and Autumn...... Wake up! ”

But the voice didn't grant her, and she had to open her eyes, feeling like a world away, pausing for a moment to know how to breathe. The appearance of the man in front of him gradually became clear in the line of sight, he was dressed in white, the two bands on the red hair ornament on his head hung down to his chest, although his complexion was obviously much better than the last time they met, but his skin was still much paler than ordinary people, and his slender eyes were always so gentle when looking at her.

"Feathered Crane Immortal......" she shouted at once.

"Shh The Feathered Crane Immortal put his finger to her lips and said, "Follow me!" ”

She nodded, and stood up taking his outstretched hand, looking around to see where she was. She didn't know how she had come to a dense forest, and it was dusk, and she was following the Feathered Crane Immortal, where the trees and plants grew so thick that many places had to be sideways to get through. He walked in a hurry, as if he was taking her to avoid someone.

There was always the rustle of leaves behind her, as if something was chasing them, and when she looked behind her, she seemed to see some white shadows flickering through the trees every now and then. Perhaps because she had just woken up, her body was not very strong, and she was exhausted after only a few moments of running, and her steps were getting slower and slower, and she saw those white shadows getting closer and closer to them.

The Feathered Crane Immortal pulled her behind his back and said, "Come up!" ”

She had no choice but to lay on his back in obedience, and no sooner had he put his arms around his neck than he jerked forward a few steps before leaping into the air through the obstacles of the jungle. She flew higher and higher with him, and when she looked down, she realized how vast the dense forest was, and it was impossible to see the end in all directions. And not far below them, the white shadows that had been chasing them just now also flew over, they were wearing white cloaks, their faces were also covered, and they all held silver spears in their hands.

"Why are they chasing us?" Xia Qiu finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"I don't know, I'll explain the rest to you when we get rid of them, sit tight!" The Feathered Crane Immortal ordered.

He sped up his flight, and huge white wings grew from his back, carrying her up and through the clouds, but the people in the white cloak still chased after them. So they chased them all the way to a large lake, and he landed with her, and the white cloaks landed opposite them, and a total of six men on the other side stopped their way.

"Who are you?" After the feathered crane immortal put down Xia Qiu, he summoned a long dagger and shouted.

The six white cloaks did not answer, but attacked them directly. The Feathered Crane Immortal pushed Xia Qiu back, first shook to the side of one of the white cloaks at a very fast speed and plunged a dagger into his heart, something strange happened, the white cloak did not bleed but disappeared in an instant as a cloud of smoke.

Then he flashed the spear of another white cloak, then turned around and swung the dagger in his hand at him, and the white cloak was wounded by him and disappeared into smoke. The remaining four white cloaks poked their spears at him almost simultaneously, and he leapt to his feet, kicked at two of them, and then moved like a cloud of white smoke to kill the two white cloaks with his dagger as well. Seeing that it was not his opponent, the other two exchanged glances, and then they all disappeared.

The Yuhe Immortal was relieved to see that they had finally given up and continued to entangle the two of them, and then held Xia Qiu's shoulders and looked back and forth, and saw that she was still confused, so he said, "Let's go to my back, let's go to a safe place first!" I'm afraid they'll send more people to us later! ”

He flew into the air with Xia Qiu, flew across the lake into a valley, and landed on the platform of a treehouse with her after dark.

"Here?" Xia Qiu asked.

"It's kind of a place for me to settle down in this world." The feathered crane immortal replied with the wings behind him.

"Where are we? I remember I should have ...... He's dead. "Xia Qiu has countless questions to ask the Feather Crane Immortal, but she doesn't know which one to ask first.

"I'll think about how to explain it to you." The Feathered Crane Immortal paused for a few seconds, then continued, "The world we are in now is called the Soul Separation Realm, and it can be regarded as a gap between the present world and the Yellow Spring. ”

"Soul Detachment, is this the same as every time I enter the Soul Detachment state?" Xia Qiu still couldn't quite understand his words.

"This place is closer to the place where the soul should eventually go than the space you were in after entering the soul detachment state in the past, whether it is called the Yellow Spring, the heaven, or the immeasurable heavenly realm where the demon should go, this place is very close to those places." The Feathered Crane Immortal said while leading Xia Qiu into the tree house.

With a wave of his hand, an oval lamp on the floor of the treehouse lit up. Warm lights illuminate the entire treehouse. The inside of the treehouse is much more spacious than Xia Qiu imagined, the rattan furniture and lamps are quite chic, and the low couch is covered with a whole tiger skin. He sat her down, then went out and took the bamboo tube from the platform to collect the dew, poured her a glass and said, "Drink a glass of water!" It's a rudimentary place, and there's not much to eat or drink. ”

Xia Qiu took it and took a sip, and the sweet dew ran down her throat and into her body, as if it had reawakened all her senses. Before, she felt like she was in a dream, everything was clear but not real, but now she felt that this place was much more real than the place she had been in any of her soul departures.

After taking another sip of the dew, she said to the Feather Crane Immortal, "It seems that this place is different from the feeling I feel every time my soul leaves, but I can't say why. ”

"Well, when you drink the water of this world or eat the food of this world, you will be truly accepted by this world, and then you will feel that everything around you is very real, and it is no different from the real world." The Feathered Crane Immortal nodded in response.

"Why am I here?" Xia Qiu then asked.

"This is not a place where the average person with the ability to leave the soul can come, I think you are here because you have been in a state of near death, or you have died but have been resurrected by someone in some way." The Feathered Crane Immortal explained.

"Resurrection? Isn't that against the laws of the Three Realms? "Xia Qiu remembered Ouyang Xiaoleng, they once said that resurrection from the dead is not allowed by the Heavenly Gods.

"Some people don't care about the laws of the Three Realms, like Qingyun ......," the Feathered Crane Immortal replied, and he reached out a hand in her face, as if he wanted to touch her but took it back.

"Well, when I was in the Chi Hao Palace in the dungeon, the last people who were with me were Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qingyun. Also, how did you get here? Xia Qiu asked puzzled.

"Do you remember when you were still on Eternal Island, I began to fall into a deep sleep from time to time, and I couldn't wake up for a long time, it was the first time I came here, and then I was able to come and go freely. Later, I found something here that piqued my interest, and I often came here to look for clues. This time, it wasn't me who came on my own initiative, I heard your call in a state of soul detachment, although it was very faint, but I still searched for your voice to find the dense forest. ”

"The same place I woke up from?" Xia Qiu's eyes widened and asked.

"That's right, you were still unconscious when I came, bound by those men in white cloaks, and you didn't know where to take you. I took advantage of their lack of attention to carry you out, and you should know what happened next. ”

"But in the past, I could go back to my body when I was gone, but this time I couldn't go back at all." Xia Qiu tried to wake up from the soul separation state again, but still unsuccessful.

"According to common sense, since you can enter this world, you should be able to go back, there is only one possibility, that is, your body is occupied by other souls, so your own soul will not be able to go back to the place that belongs to you, as if you have been banished."

"If it was really Qingyun who took me from the dungeon at that time, then he must have done something, and what if he put other souls into my body?" The more Xia Qiu thought about it, the more terrifying she felt, and she couldn't help but panic.

"Don't worry, no matter how powerful he is, it will take at least seventy-seven forty-nine days for a soul to occupy a body that does not belong to him. After that, I will ask the Immortal Crane to send a letter to Ouyang Xiaoleng and them, telling them that you are here, as long as you can find out where Qingyun took you within forty-nine days, then you will have a chance to regain your body. The Feather Crane Immortal said to her confidently.

"You said there was something in this world that piqued your interest, what is it?" Xia Qiu asked.

"Remember what you helped me recover from the administrator of the underground database of Ouyang Ancient Mansion about my past? Later, my memories recovered a bit, and I remembered many of my experiences in the divine realm. The Black Crane that caused me to fall from the Divine Realm, he is likely to be able to enter the Soul Separation Realm as well, and my intuition tells me that there is some kind of connection between him and Qingyun, which is why I come here from time to time. Also, I suspect that the people who caught you before were Black Crane's men. After the Yuhe Immortal finished speaking, he saw that the cup in Xia Qiu's hand was empty, so he refilled another cup for her.
