First-class Celestial Master [Rebirth]
Chapter 59
Fortunately, this space is vast and empty, and there is no breath. In this environment, it is easy to find a living creature like Qiu Xiaohun.
Zhou Tong walked a hundred steps in the direction of the breath, and saw Qiu Xiaohun who was standing there motionless.
I have to say that Qiu Xiaohun is quite smart, and he was very calm when he encountered the situation. When he saw Zhou Tong, he didn't show any extra emotion, and asked, "Where is this place? You brought me here ?”
Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "You brought you here yourself. Your singing voice is very special. It seems that you can communicate Yin and Yang."
Qiu Xiaohun didn't respond, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhou Tong's answer. According to normal people's thinking, if anyone said that to you, his mind would go blank with surprise, or he would feel that the other party was talking nonsense.Qiu Xiaohun looked around and asked, "Can I go out?"
"Yes." Zhou Tong said, "We need to find the connection point and then find a way to open the door to the yang room. It was dusk when we came in just now, and all critical doors will be opened, so it is relatively easy to get in and out. But..." Zhou Tong paused, carefully observing the expression on Qiu Xiaohun's face, "It's hard to say if this space has an owner."
Qiu Xiaohun nodded and stood still, Zhou Tong asked him, "You don't seem to be afraid at all."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Qiu Xiaohun asked back. He lowered his eyes to look at the toes of his shoes and said, "The ones who don't deserve to die will eventually live, and those who deserve to die can't escape."
Hearing this, Zhou Tong smiled and said, "You are very intelligent."
Qiu Xiaohun looked up at him: "Are you going to take me?"
Zhou Tong was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Qiu Xiaohun to make such a move, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm just a fool, otherwise I wouldn't have come here with you."
Qiu Xiaohun nodded seriously, and said after a while: "I often encounter this situation, you don't have to worry, you can go out soon, my grandma will come to find me."
Zhou Tong: "..."
How often does this happen to this kid?Psychic physique?
"Who is your grandma?"
"Grandma is grandma." Qiu Xiaohun said, "Every time I come here, grandma can find me."
It seems that his grandma may also be an insider, but Qiu Xiaohun's physique is so special and he is allowed to run around, it is indeed very dangerous. Old people may not be able to take care of them every time, and Qiu Xiaohun has no protection. personal things.
Seeing that Qiu Xiaohun was very cute, Zhou Tong patted Qiu Xiaohun's head and said, "It's okay, if you can't get out, I can find a way to take you out."
Qiu Xiaohun looked up at Zhou Tong. The kid was estimated to be 1.7 meters tall. He was as short as a bean sprout in front of Zhou Tong. He looked at Zhou Tong seriously with his head held high, and finally said seriously: "Thank you!" .”
Zhou Tong smiled: "You're welcome." He looked around and asked, "Do you want to walk around with me to find a way out?"
Qiu Xiaohun was also a little curious about this world, he said, "Is that okay? If I wander around, will grandma not find me?"
Zhou Tong felt a little regretful: "Then let's wait where we are."
Qiu Xiaohun's eyes showed some struggle, but finally decided to stay.
However, there was a glint of water in the distance, and Zhou Tong asked, "Did you hear the sound of running water?"
"Yes." Qiu Xiaohun looked into the distance, "It's the river, have you seen the river?"
"I see." Zhou Tong looked at the river. The river flowed gently, showing a strange calmness in a different space, making people think of death when they saw the river.
Zhou Tong said, "This is the Santu River."
"The river in the underworld?" Qiu Xiaohun finally showed some other emotions, he asked in surprise, "How do you know?"
"It's written on the stele."
At some point, a stone tablet was erected in front of them on the right. The stone tablet was almost as tall as a person, with the word "Santu" stamped on it in vermilion. Under the tombstone, there were blood-red flowers blooming, elegant and gorgeous.
"The other shore flower." Qiu Xiaohun looked at the flowers and said, "My grandma told me that there is a boundary between life and death. One side of the Three Ways is life, and the other side is death. Underworld, cross the Santu River, take the Naihe Bridge, look at the mirror of the first life, enter the well of reincarnation, and start the next life again. The Santu River is the first pass for the underworld to welcome the new soul. There are boatmen ferrying on the Santu River. If you don’t pay the boat fare, the boatman will load your soul into the Santu River, push you off the boat halfway, and become a water ghost in the Santu River, never to be reincarnated.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a small boat floating in the distance. The boat was very old and had a roof made of straw. The barefoot old man rowed the boat to the shore, threw the straw hat back, and asked, "Guest Officer, go to Naihe Bridge?"
Qiu Xiaohun took a step back, a little afraid of the old man's ghostly face.
The old man's smile froze, and then he stretched his face and said disdainfully: "You new ghosts are hypocritical."
"No need." Zhou Tong protected Qiu Xiaohun and said, "It's troublesome."
The old man said: "However, you can only wander around the Santu River. When the sun world opens, and some light comes in, your souls will disperse a little. Sooner or later, all of you will be astigmatized." Walk.
Qiu Xiaohun grabbed Zhou Tong's sleeve and said, "Let's get on the boat." He said, "I think grandma can't find me."
Zhou Tong responded, "Okay."
Qiu Xiaohun pulled Zhou Tong into the boat, and after sitting down, he remembered a question: "Do we have Ming coins?"
Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Of course not, you are not dead, I am not dead, where did you get the money?"
Qiu Xiaohun: "..." He looked at Zhou Tong nervously, "Are we going to be thrown into the Santu River?"
When the boat sailed away from the shore, it was already drifting far away, and the speed was extremely fast, making it impossible for people to imagine that such a dilapidated boat could advance safely on the river at such a fast speed.
The boatman's face was so dark that he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Zhou Tong comforted: "Probably not."
Qiu Xiaohun nervously supported the sides of the boat.
The figure of the boatman was pulled extremely high, like a giant, and the shadow enveloped them, surrounding the two of them without leaving a single gap.
The boatman said, "You don't have money and you still want to take my boat?"
As soon as they finished speaking, without allowing them to explain, two hands stretched out from the void, grabbing Zhou Tong with one hand and Qiu Xiaohun with the other. Zhou Tong and Qiu Xiaohun were pulled up by the big hand and thrown into the Santu River one after another. inside.
Qiu Xiaohun shouted: "Help!" But Zhou Tong didn't respond, and his body gradually sank into the icy river.
Zhou Tong also fell into the river, the icy river water irritated his skin, and the coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow made him feel as if countless tiny needles were piercing his flesh and blood all over his body.Zhou Tong shivered and said, "It's really cold."
Ling Yuan said, "I'm sick."
Zhou Tong: "..."
"Haha." Zhou Tong laughed. Just as he was about to say something, he saw twisted hands reaching out and tearing his clothes. Those hands quickly tore all his clothes clean. The debris floated in the Santu River and merged into the river water.
Zhou Tong: "..."
Ling Yuan: "...Hello."
The naked Zhou Tong was floating in the icy river, he curled up subconsciously, like a baby in the mother's womb, floating, ups and downs, the tingling pain from his flesh and blood made him unable to help but let out a slight groan He groaned, and then a dull pain came, and Zhou Tong took a deep breath: "I heard that the water in the Santu River has a soul-corroding poison. Am I already poisoned?"
"Stop making trouble." Ling Yuan seemed very dissatisfied, and said coldly, "It's too ugly."
Zhou Tong smiled, and put his clothes back on in a strange way. He was about to get out of the river, but saw a hand stretched into the river, and pulled Zhou Tong out.
Zhou Tong: "..."
Zhou Tong quickly pretended to be dead as soon as he landed, Qiu Xiaohun trapped Zhou Tong's body with something unknown, and pulled Zhou Tong forward all the way.
Qiu Xiaohun walked in the darkness, his steps were very slow, but he was very familiar with the environment, every step he took, the surrounding darkness was broken a little bit by him.
He stopped suddenly, and Zhou Tong heard the cry of a child.
Qiu Xiaohun said: "I brought the exchanged soul."
The dense darkness in front of him dissipated, and Zhou Tong saw a scantily clad woman lying there, holding a five or six-year-old child in her arms. Letting go, the pointed nails lovingly caressed the child's chubby face.
Qiu Xiaohun said: "If you let this child go, I will give you this soul. He will be a great love to you."
Zhou Tong looked at the woman carefully, and asked Ling Yuan, "Is this Guhuo Bird?"
"Yes." Ling Yuan nodded.
"Xuanzhongji" says: Guhuo birds are also ghosts and gods.Clothes are for birds, and shedding is for women.Yun is transformed after the death of a puerpera, so she has two breasts on her chest, and she likes to take a man's son and raise her as her own son.
Gu Huo Niao took a look at Zhou Tong, her voice was pleasant, but she was very disgusted: "He is too old, I don't like it."
"Eating his soul, you can have more power to adopt more ghost children." Qiu Xiaohun calmly exchanged with her.
These words immediately moved Gu Huo Niao, Gu Huo Niao looked Zhou Tong up and down, and then looked down at the white and fat child in his arms, his eyes were tangled, it was difficult to choose between the two.
Qiu Xiaohun continued: "Keep one person or keep a hundred people, you should be able to figure this out clearly."
Gu Huo Niao was shaken, she thought for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay, I will exchange with you."
Qiu Xiaohun handed Zhou Tong to Guhuoniao, and at the same time, Guhuoniao handed over the child in his arms to Qiu Xiaohun. Unexpectedly, at the moment of the handover, Guhuoniao grabbed Zhou Tong in front of Qiu Xiaohun. Before he could react, he took the child into his arms again.
Grinning in a sharp voice, he said excitedly, "I want both one person and 100 people."
Qiu Xiaohun: "...Despicable."
The girl snorted complacently.
The little girl was pressed to the ground, then looked at Zhou Tong who was captured by Qiu Xiaohun, trapped him with feathers, and said with a smile: "Handsome, good-looking, I like it."
Qiu Xiaohun said: "You violated the agreement."
Gu Huo Niao: "You said you wanted to make an agreement with me to bring people in for an exchange, but I didn't agree."
Qiu Xiaohun couldn't bear it.
"Sorry." Zhou Tong interrupted their conversation, "Although I know that I don't have a say in the goods in exchange, I still want to say something... You'd better choose a goods that you can control next time."
The feathers binding Zhou Tong dissipated in an instant, and Zhou Tong struck Guhuo Bird's forehead with the lightning in his palm, and Guhuo Bird wailed suddenly, covered the place where the thunder in his palm hit, and rolled back.
There was a sharp cry from her throat, and the feathers quickly covered her body, completely covering her almost naked body, her body shape changed, the feathered body trembled, and she spread her wings and flew into the sky.
Zhou Tong didn't say anything, another thunderbolt came down from his palm, and directly chopped off the guhuo bird, which hadn't spread its wings yet.
Zhou Tong pasted a talisman on Gu Huo Niao's forehead, and Gu Huo Niao was immobilized. Zhou Tong looked at Qiu Xiaohun. Qiu Xiaohun was helping the child's soul. Zhou Tong stepped forward and stopped him. Qiu Xiaohun said, "Okay, let's solve your problem now."
Qiu Xiaohun: "..."
Qiu Xiaohun looked at Zhou Tong, lowered his eyes, and said, "I'm sorry."
Zhou Tong asked, "What's going on?"
Qiu Xiaohun said: "Let's talk after we go out."
"Where is it so easy to get out..." Guhuo Niao sneered, "I don't come here as I want, or leave as I want."
Qiu Xiaohun sang a few lines, but it was useless. He was stunned for a while, and looked at Zhou Tong with guilt, "I'm sorry."
Zhou Tong shook his head helplessly. He threw a Six-Ding Liujia Talisman on the dying Gu Huo Niao.
Qiu Xiaohun said, "We can't get out."
The child's face was pale and trembling, Zhou Tong said: "Now you know whether you will be afraid of going out? Did you think about this problem when you came in?"
"He's asking for help from me." Qiu Xiaohun bit his lip and said, "This child is crying for help from me."
The five-year-old boy was nestled in Qiu Xiaohun's arms, his gloomy face was obviously a ghost, Qiu Xiaohun protected the little boy and said, "I have to save him."
"But can you save him?"
Qiu Xiaohun's lips were tightly pressed together, and he said, "If you don't save him, he will die out of his wits."
Zhou Tong patted Qiu Xiaohun's head and said, "You are good intentions, but it's too abrupt."
Qiu Xiaohun's nervousness was soothed by Zhou Tong's big hand, he raised his head to look at Zhou Tong, and asked with expectation in his eyes: "Can you go out?"
"Try it." Zhou Tong took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, a thick and heavy singing voice came out of his mouth.
The auspicious day is good for Chen, and Mu Jiang is happy for the emperor.
Caress the long sword and come to Yuer, and slam (sounds the same as the ball).
What he sang was "Donghuang Taiyi" in "Nine Songs". Donghuang Taiyi is an ancient god who rules the universe of all things, destroys filth and eliminates evil, and can calm all evil things.
After Zhou Tong sang Donghuangtai's piece, the chaos separated, and a huge hole was torn out of this dark space, and sunlight shone through it.
With joy on Qiu Xiaohun's face, he carried the child and walked towards that bright place.
Zhou Tong stopped Qiu Xiaohun, and said, "You can go back, but he can't." Zhou Tong looked at the little boy who was held in Qiu Xiaohun's arms, and said, "He is already dead, and his soul may return directly to the world of heaven. After being beaten to death, do you want to work in vain?"
Qiu Xiaohun was stunned for a moment, then he asked: "Then what should I do?"
Zhou Tong said, "Leave it to me."
Qiu Xiaohun hesitated for a while, and stretched out the child. The child stared at Zhou Tong, and called out sweetly: "Brother——"
Zhou Tong touched the child's hand and said softly, "Good boy, brother will see you off."
The child's soft hand was held in Zhou Tong's hand. Zhou Tong picked him up, pressed his palm on the back of the child's head, and chanted the super-duty mantra.
The soul of the child lying on Zhou Tong's shoulder dissipated little by little, and was carried to the far north by the wind like sand.
Zhou Tong said to Qiu Xiaohun: "Let's go too."
"En." Qiu Xiaohun nodded, he followed Zhou Tong and walked out of the darkness.
As soon as I went out, there was a small alley, the moon and stars were sparse, and the crickets were chirping in the grass.
Zhou Tong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on? Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Qiu Xiaohun lowered his eyelashes and said, "I'm sorry. When I came here yesterday, I witnessed a car accident. The little boy was hit to death by a truck. When his soul flew out of his body, he was taken away by a bird. He begged me To save him, I made an agreement with Gu Huo Niao to find a substitute to exchange with it."
"So you found me?" Zhou Tong wanted to cry, "Why did you pick me?"
"Because your soul is very weak." Qiu Xiaohun looked into Zhou Tong's eyes and said seriously, "If I'm not wrong, you may die in less than ten years."
Zhou Tong: "..."
Before Zhou Tong could speak, a cloud of green smoke flew out from his pocket. Ling Yuan stood high in the air and lifted Qiu Xiaohun's body. Chang, he opened his mouth and breathed heavily, looking at the swaying shadow in surprise.
Ling Yuan asked sullenly, "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
Qiu Xiaohun struggled and said, "I...no...have..."
Ling Yuan squinted his eyes, and the qi bound around Qiu Xiaohun's neck tightened even more. In a blink of an eye, Qiu Xiaohun's skin turned grayish white, his pupils tightened sharply, and a weak cry for help came out of his throat.
"Okay." Zhou Tong interrupted Ling Yuan and said, "Don't scare him."
Ling Yuan's movements didn't stop, Zhou Tong had no choice but to stop Ling Yuan, Ling Yuan still refused to stop, until Qiu Xiaohun started to roll his eyes and almost died before he regained his anger.
Qiu Xiaohun fell to the ground, panting heavily like vomiting for a few mouthfuls before recovering, his face was pale due to lack of oxygen.
Qiu Xiaohun looked at Ling Yuan's vague shadow unwillingly, and said, "You won't change this fact even if you kill me."
Zhou Tong looked at Qiu Xiaohun and asked, "Why do you say that? My soul is very weak?"
Qiu Xiaohun didn't dare to look into Zhou Tong's eyes, he said: "Sorry, I have the ability to perceive human souls. I only know that your soul is very weak, and I don't know anything else..."
"I didn't even see it." Ling Yuan said sarcastically, "Who asked you to spread rumors?"
Qiu Xiaohun didn't speak, he stood up, patted his dirty pants, and said, "I have nothing to do, I'll be leaving first."
"Wait." Zhou Tong stopped Qiu Xiaohun and said, "I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"What are you busy with?"
"Help me find a soul."
"?" Qiu Xiaohun looked at Zhou Tong in puzzlement.
Zhou Tong told Qiu Xiaohun about Sun Meiping's daughter, Qiu Xiaohun thought about it and said, "Okay, but I'm not sure if I can do it well."
"It's ok."
Zhou Tong and Qiu Xiaohun exchanged contact information and went back separately.
Ling Yuan said: "You go back first, I have something to do."
Zhou Tong: "?" Vaguely guessing what Ling Yuan was going to do, Zhou Tong said with a helpless smile, "It's okay, I don't mind, life is determined, and he can't change it with just a few words."
"Oh." Ling Yuan said coldly, "I'll be back soon."
Zhou Tong: "..."
After Ling Yuan finished speaking, he walked away in a rage, Zhou Tong was a little worried, Ling Yuan did things too much according to his mood, he could say anything when he was happy, but once he got angry, it would be really difficult.
To Qiu Xiaohun just now, Ling Yuan obviously had a real killing intent, if he hadn't stopped him, Qiu Xiaohun would have died.
In Ling Yuan's era, strength was everything, and human life was insignificant. Although he could understand it, it didn't mean that Zhou Tong could accept Ling Yuan's disregard for human life.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tong followed behind Ling Yuan.
After Qiu Xiaohun left, he kept walking along a small road. This road was very dilapidated and there were almost no lights along the way, but Qiu Xiaohun was very familiar with it. He walked all the way to an old residential area in the dark night.
Qiu Xiaohun stopped at a dilapidated flower bed overgrown with weeds, he brushed away the weeds, revealing a stone statue-like thing, Qiu Xiaohun took out two sticks of incense sticks from his backpack, lit them, and knelt on the ground holding the sticks of incense sticks, He kowtowed to the stone statue a few times and said in a low voice, "Grandma, I'm here to see you."
The incense sticks are graceful, lingering on the stone statue, and suddenly become the shadow of an old lady when blown by the wind.
The old lady came down from behind the stone statue, casually sat cross-legged beside Qiu Xiaohun, touched Qiu Xiaohun's head, and said affectionately, "My dear grandson, you are here."
"Grandma." Qiu Xiaohun called out, buried her head in the old lady's lap, and looked peaceful and calm as if she had arrived home.
Looking at this scene, Zhou Tong was quite surprised.
The old lady made it clear that she was not a human being, but she was not a ghost, but a housekeeper.
Shoujiaxian refers to the little fairy who guards a family. This kind of little fairy is often transformed into a creature, and is famous for the "white and yellow fox willow".
The grandma Qiu Xiaohun mentioned was not his own grandma, but a Liu Daxian whose body was a snake.
Zhou Tong took out his mobile phone and searched for Qiu Xiaohun's information online.
According to the data, Qiu Xiaohun's parents died when he was young. He originally lived near here and was raised by the Shoujiaxian.It seems that Liu Daxian was originally the Shoujiaxian of their Qiu family, no wonder Qiu Xiaohun has that kind of supernatural power, but maybe it is precisely because of Qiu Xiaohun's supernatural power that he can be raised by the Shoujiaxian.
"Why did you sneak here?" Ling Yuan suddenly appeared behind Zhou Tong and asked with a gloomy face.
Zhou Tong, who was caught, smiled awkwardly, and said, "It just so happens that I have something to do here."
Ling Yuan stared at Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong looked back at Ling Yuan, but found that there were some very deep emotions hidden in Ling Yuan's usually cold eyes, Zhou Tong asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ling Yuan shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go."
Zhou Tong lightened up, and was led by Ling Yuan to walk a dozen steps before stopping. He always felt that something was wrong with Ling Yuan, and it was probably because of the housekeeper.
Zhou Tong turned his head and glanced at the intimate grandparent and grandson in front of the stone statue. At this time, the old lady looked up at Zhou Tong, showing a kind smile.
Zhou Tong walked a hundred steps in the direction of the breath, and saw Qiu Xiaohun who was standing there motionless.
I have to say that Qiu Xiaohun is quite smart, and he was very calm when he encountered the situation. When he saw Zhou Tong, he didn't show any extra emotion, and asked, "Where is this place? You brought me here ?”
Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "You brought you here yourself. Your singing voice is very special. It seems that you can communicate Yin and Yang."
Qiu Xiaohun didn't respond, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhou Tong's answer. According to normal people's thinking, if anyone said that to you, his mind would go blank with surprise, or he would feel that the other party was talking nonsense.Qiu Xiaohun looked around and asked, "Can I go out?"
"Yes." Zhou Tong said, "We need to find the connection point and then find a way to open the door to the yang room. It was dusk when we came in just now, and all critical doors will be opened, so it is relatively easy to get in and out. But..." Zhou Tong paused, carefully observing the expression on Qiu Xiaohun's face, "It's hard to say if this space has an owner."
Qiu Xiaohun nodded and stood still, Zhou Tong asked him, "You don't seem to be afraid at all."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Qiu Xiaohun asked back. He lowered his eyes to look at the toes of his shoes and said, "The ones who don't deserve to die will eventually live, and those who deserve to die can't escape."
Hearing this, Zhou Tong smiled and said, "You are very intelligent."
Qiu Xiaohun looked up at him: "Are you going to take me?"
Zhou Tong was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Qiu Xiaohun to make such a move, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm just a fool, otherwise I wouldn't have come here with you."
Qiu Xiaohun nodded seriously, and said after a while: "I often encounter this situation, you don't have to worry, you can go out soon, my grandma will come to find me."
Zhou Tong: "..."
How often does this happen to this kid?Psychic physique?
"Who is your grandma?"
"Grandma is grandma." Qiu Xiaohun said, "Every time I come here, grandma can find me."
It seems that his grandma may also be an insider, but Qiu Xiaohun's physique is so special and he is allowed to run around, it is indeed very dangerous. Old people may not be able to take care of them every time, and Qiu Xiaohun has no protection. personal things.
Seeing that Qiu Xiaohun was very cute, Zhou Tong patted Qiu Xiaohun's head and said, "It's okay, if you can't get out, I can find a way to take you out."
Qiu Xiaohun looked up at Zhou Tong. The kid was estimated to be 1.7 meters tall. He was as short as a bean sprout in front of Zhou Tong. He looked at Zhou Tong seriously with his head held high, and finally said seriously: "Thank you!" .”
Zhou Tong smiled: "You're welcome." He looked around and asked, "Do you want to walk around with me to find a way out?"
Qiu Xiaohun was also a little curious about this world, he said, "Is that okay? If I wander around, will grandma not find me?"
Zhou Tong felt a little regretful: "Then let's wait where we are."
Qiu Xiaohun's eyes showed some struggle, but finally decided to stay.
However, there was a glint of water in the distance, and Zhou Tong asked, "Did you hear the sound of running water?"
"Yes." Qiu Xiaohun looked into the distance, "It's the river, have you seen the river?"
"I see." Zhou Tong looked at the river. The river flowed gently, showing a strange calmness in a different space, making people think of death when they saw the river.
Zhou Tong said, "This is the Santu River."
"The river in the underworld?" Qiu Xiaohun finally showed some other emotions, he asked in surprise, "How do you know?"
"It's written on the stele."
At some point, a stone tablet was erected in front of them on the right. The stone tablet was almost as tall as a person, with the word "Santu" stamped on it in vermilion. Under the tombstone, there were blood-red flowers blooming, elegant and gorgeous.
"The other shore flower." Qiu Xiaohun looked at the flowers and said, "My grandma told me that there is a boundary between life and death. One side of the Three Ways is life, and the other side is death. Underworld, cross the Santu River, take the Naihe Bridge, look at the mirror of the first life, enter the well of reincarnation, and start the next life again. The Santu River is the first pass for the underworld to welcome the new soul. There are boatmen ferrying on the Santu River. If you don’t pay the boat fare, the boatman will load your soul into the Santu River, push you off the boat halfway, and become a water ghost in the Santu River, never to be reincarnated.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a small boat floating in the distance. The boat was very old and had a roof made of straw. The barefoot old man rowed the boat to the shore, threw the straw hat back, and asked, "Guest Officer, go to Naihe Bridge?"
Qiu Xiaohun took a step back, a little afraid of the old man's ghostly face.
The old man's smile froze, and then he stretched his face and said disdainfully: "You new ghosts are hypocritical."
"No need." Zhou Tong protected Qiu Xiaohun and said, "It's troublesome."
The old man said: "However, you can only wander around the Santu River. When the sun world opens, and some light comes in, your souls will disperse a little. Sooner or later, all of you will be astigmatized." Walk.
Qiu Xiaohun grabbed Zhou Tong's sleeve and said, "Let's get on the boat." He said, "I think grandma can't find me."
Zhou Tong responded, "Okay."
Qiu Xiaohun pulled Zhou Tong into the boat, and after sitting down, he remembered a question: "Do we have Ming coins?"
Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Of course not, you are not dead, I am not dead, where did you get the money?"
Qiu Xiaohun: "..." He looked at Zhou Tong nervously, "Are we going to be thrown into the Santu River?"
When the boat sailed away from the shore, it was already drifting far away, and the speed was extremely fast, making it impossible for people to imagine that such a dilapidated boat could advance safely on the river at such a fast speed.
The boatman's face was so dark that he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Zhou Tong comforted: "Probably not."
Qiu Xiaohun nervously supported the sides of the boat.
The figure of the boatman was pulled extremely high, like a giant, and the shadow enveloped them, surrounding the two of them without leaving a single gap.
The boatman said, "You don't have money and you still want to take my boat?"
As soon as they finished speaking, without allowing them to explain, two hands stretched out from the void, grabbing Zhou Tong with one hand and Qiu Xiaohun with the other. Zhou Tong and Qiu Xiaohun were pulled up by the big hand and thrown into the Santu River one after another. inside.
Qiu Xiaohun shouted: "Help!" But Zhou Tong didn't respond, and his body gradually sank into the icy river.
Zhou Tong also fell into the river, the icy river water irritated his skin, and the coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow made him feel as if countless tiny needles were piercing his flesh and blood all over his body.Zhou Tong shivered and said, "It's really cold."
Ling Yuan said, "I'm sick."
Zhou Tong: "..."
"Haha." Zhou Tong laughed. Just as he was about to say something, he saw twisted hands reaching out and tearing his clothes. Those hands quickly tore all his clothes clean. The debris floated in the Santu River and merged into the river water.
Zhou Tong: "..."
Ling Yuan: "...Hello."
The naked Zhou Tong was floating in the icy river, he curled up subconsciously, like a baby in the mother's womb, floating, ups and downs, the tingling pain from his flesh and blood made him unable to help but let out a slight groan He groaned, and then a dull pain came, and Zhou Tong took a deep breath: "I heard that the water in the Santu River has a soul-corroding poison. Am I already poisoned?"
"Stop making trouble." Ling Yuan seemed very dissatisfied, and said coldly, "It's too ugly."
Zhou Tong smiled, and put his clothes back on in a strange way. He was about to get out of the river, but saw a hand stretched into the river, and pulled Zhou Tong out.
Zhou Tong: "..."
Zhou Tong quickly pretended to be dead as soon as he landed, Qiu Xiaohun trapped Zhou Tong's body with something unknown, and pulled Zhou Tong forward all the way.
Qiu Xiaohun walked in the darkness, his steps were very slow, but he was very familiar with the environment, every step he took, the surrounding darkness was broken a little bit by him.
He stopped suddenly, and Zhou Tong heard the cry of a child.
Qiu Xiaohun said: "I brought the exchanged soul."
The dense darkness in front of him dissipated, and Zhou Tong saw a scantily clad woman lying there, holding a five or six-year-old child in her arms. Letting go, the pointed nails lovingly caressed the child's chubby face.
Qiu Xiaohun said: "If you let this child go, I will give you this soul. He will be a great love to you."
Zhou Tong looked at the woman carefully, and asked Ling Yuan, "Is this Guhuo Bird?"
"Yes." Ling Yuan nodded.
"Xuanzhongji" says: Guhuo birds are also ghosts and gods.Clothes are for birds, and shedding is for women.Yun is transformed after the death of a puerpera, so she has two breasts on her chest, and she likes to take a man's son and raise her as her own son.
Gu Huo Niao took a look at Zhou Tong, her voice was pleasant, but she was very disgusted: "He is too old, I don't like it."
"Eating his soul, you can have more power to adopt more ghost children." Qiu Xiaohun calmly exchanged with her.
These words immediately moved Gu Huo Niao, Gu Huo Niao looked Zhou Tong up and down, and then looked down at the white and fat child in his arms, his eyes were tangled, it was difficult to choose between the two.
Qiu Xiaohun continued: "Keep one person or keep a hundred people, you should be able to figure this out clearly."
Gu Huo Niao was shaken, she thought for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay, I will exchange with you."
Qiu Xiaohun handed Zhou Tong to Guhuoniao, and at the same time, Guhuoniao handed over the child in his arms to Qiu Xiaohun. Unexpectedly, at the moment of the handover, Guhuoniao grabbed Zhou Tong in front of Qiu Xiaohun. Before he could react, he took the child into his arms again.
Grinning in a sharp voice, he said excitedly, "I want both one person and 100 people."
Qiu Xiaohun: "...Despicable."
The girl snorted complacently.
The little girl was pressed to the ground, then looked at Zhou Tong who was captured by Qiu Xiaohun, trapped him with feathers, and said with a smile: "Handsome, good-looking, I like it."
Qiu Xiaohun said: "You violated the agreement."
Gu Huo Niao: "You said you wanted to make an agreement with me to bring people in for an exchange, but I didn't agree."
Qiu Xiaohun couldn't bear it.
"Sorry." Zhou Tong interrupted their conversation, "Although I know that I don't have a say in the goods in exchange, I still want to say something... You'd better choose a goods that you can control next time."
The feathers binding Zhou Tong dissipated in an instant, and Zhou Tong struck Guhuo Bird's forehead with the lightning in his palm, and Guhuo Bird wailed suddenly, covered the place where the thunder in his palm hit, and rolled back.
There was a sharp cry from her throat, and the feathers quickly covered her body, completely covering her almost naked body, her body shape changed, the feathered body trembled, and she spread her wings and flew into the sky.
Zhou Tong didn't say anything, another thunderbolt came down from his palm, and directly chopped off the guhuo bird, which hadn't spread its wings yet.
Zhou Tong pasted a talisman on Gu Huo Niao's forehead, and Gu Huo Niao was immobilized. Zhou Tong looked at Qiu Xiaohun. Qiu Xiaohun was helping the child's soul. Zhou Tong stepped forward and stopped him. Qiu Xiaohun said, "Okay, let's solve your problem now."
Qiu Xiaohun: "..."
Qiu Xiaohun looked at Zhou Tong, lowered his eyes, and said, "I'm sorry."
Zhou Tong asked, "What's going on?"
Qiu Xiaohun said: "Let's talk after we go out."
"Where is it so easy to get out..." Guhuo Niao sneered, "I don't come here as I want, or leave as I want."
Qiu Xiaohun sang a few lines, but it was useless. He was stunned for a while, and looked at Zhou Tong with guilt, "I'm sorry."
Zhou Tong shook his head helplessly. He threw a Six-Ding Liujia Talisman on the dying Gu Huo Niao.
Qiu Xiaohun said, "We can't get out."
The child's face was pale and trembling, Zhou Tong said: "Now you know whether you will be afraid of going out? Did you think about this problem when you came in?"
"He's asking for help from me." Qiu Xiaohun bit his lip and said, "This child is crying for help from me."
The five-year-old boy was nestled in Qiu Xiaohun's arms, his gloomy face was obviously a ghost, Qiu Xiaohun protected the little boy and said, "I have to save him."
"But can you save him?"
Qiu Xiaohun's lips were tightly pressed together, and he said, "If you don't save him, he will die out of his wits."
Zhou Tong patted Qiu Xiaohun's head and said, "You are good intentions, but it's too abrupt."
Qiu Xiaohun's nervousness was soothed by Zhou Tong's big hand, he raised his head to look at Zhou Tong, and asked with expectation in his eyes: "Can you go out?"
"Try it." Zhou Tong took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, a thick and heavy singing voice came out of his mouth.
The auspicious day is good for Chen, and Mu Jiang is happy for the emperor.
Caress the long sword and come to Yuer, and slam (sounds the same as the ball).
What he sang was "Donghuang Taiyi" in "Nine Songs". Donghuang Taiyi is an ancient god who rules the universe of all things, destroys filth and eliminates evil, and can calm all evil things.
After Zhou Tong sang Donghuangtai's piece, the chaos separated, and a huge hole was torn out of this dark space, and sunlight shone through it.
With joy on Qiu Xiaohun's face, he carried the child and walked towards that bright place.
Zhou Tong stopped Qiu Xiaohun, and said, "You can go back, but he can't." Zhou Tong looked at the little boy who was held in Qiu Xiaohun's arms, and said, "He is already dead, and his soul may return directly to the world of heaven. After being beaten to death, do you want to work in vain?"
Qiu Xiaohun was stunned for a moment, then he asked: "Then what should I do?"
Zhou Tong said, "Leave it to me."
Qiu Xiaohun hesitated for a while, and stretched out the child. The child stared at Zhou Tong, and called out sweetly: "Brother——"
Zhou Tong touched the child's hand and said softly, "Good boy, brother will see you off."
The child's soft hand was held in Zhou Tong's hand. Zhou Tong picked him up, pressed his palm on the back of the child's head, and chanted the super-duty mantra.
The soul of the child lying on Zhou Tong's shoulder dissipated little by little, and was carried to the far north by the wind like sand.
Zhou Tong said to Qiu Xiaohun: "Let's go too."
"En." Qiu Xiaohun nodded, he followed Zhou Tong and walked out of the darkness.
As soon as I went out, there was a small alley, the moon and stars were sparse, and the crickets were chirping in the grass.
Zhou Tong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on? Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Qiu Xiaohun lowered his eyelashes and said, "I'm sorry. When I came here yesterday, I witnessed a car accident. The little boy was hit to death by a truck. When his soul flew out of his body, he was taken away by a bird. He begged me To save him, I made an agreement with Gu Huo Niao to find a substitute to exchange with it."
"So you found me?" Zhou Tong wanted to cry, "Why did you pick me?"
"Because your soul is very weak." Qiu Xiaohun looked into Zhou Tong's eyes and said seriously, "If I'm not wrong, you may die in less than ten years."
Zhou Tong: "..."
Before Zhou Tong could speak, a cloud of green smoke flew out from his pocket. Ling Yuan stood high in the air and lifted Qiu Xiaohun's body. Chang, he opened his mouth and breathed heavily, looking at the swaying shadow in surprise.
Ling Yuan asked sullenly, "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
Qiu Xiaohun struggled and said, "I...no...have..."
Ling Yuan squinted his eyes, and the qi bound around Qiu Xiaohun's neck tightened even more. In a blink of an eye, Qiu Xiaohun's skin turned grayish white, his pupils tightened sharply, and a weak cry for help came out of his throat.
"Okay." Zhou Tong interrupted Ling Yuan and said, "Don't scare him."
Ling Yuan's movements didn't stop, Zhou Tong had no choice but to stop Ling Yuan, Ling Yuan still refused to stop, until Qiu Xiaohun started to roll his eyes and almost died before he regained his anger.
Qiu Xiaohun fell to the ground, panting heavily like vomiting for a few mouthfuls before recovering, his face was pale due to lack of oxygen.
Qiu Xiaohun looked at Ling Yuan's vague shadow unwillingly, and said, "You won't change this fact even if you kill me."
Zhou Tong looked at Qiu Xiaohun and asked, "Why do you say that? My soul is very weak?"
Qiu Xiaohun didn't dare to look into Zhou Tong's eyes, he said: "Sorry, I have the ability to perceive human souls. I only know that your soul is very weak, and I don't know anything else..."
"I didn't even see it." Ling Yuan said sarcastically, "Who asked you to spread rumors?"
Qiu Xiaohun didn't speak, he stood up, patted his dirty pants, and said, "I have nothing to do, I'll be leaving first."
"Wait." Zhou Tong stopped Qiu Xiaohun and said, "I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"What are you busy with?"
"Help me find a soul."
"?" Qiu Xiaohun looked at Zhou Tong in puzzlement.
Zhou Tong told Qiu Xiaohun about Sun Meiping's daughter, Qiu Xiaohun thought about it and said, "Okay, but I'm not sure if I can do it well."
"It's ok."
Zhou Tong and Qiu Xiaohun exchanged contact information and went back separately.
Ling Yuan said: "You go back first, I have something to do."
Zhou Tong: "?" Vaguely guessing what Ling Yuan was going to do, Zhou Tong said with a helpless smile, "It's okay, I don't mind, life is determined, and he can't change it with just a few words."
"Oh." Ling Yuan said coldly, "I'll be back soon."
Zhou Tong: "..."
After Ling Yuan finished speaking, he walked away in a rage, Zhou Tong was a little worried, Ling Yuan did things too much according to his mood, he could say anything when he was happy, but once he got angry, it would be really difficult.
To Qiu Xiaohun just now, Ling Yuan obviously had a real killing intent, if he hadn't stopped him, Qiu Xiaohun would have died.
In Ling Yuan's era, strength was everything, and human life was insignificant. Although he could understand it, it didn't mean that Zhou Tong could accept Ling Yuan's disregard for human life.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tong followed behind Ling Yuan.
After Qiu Xiaohun left, he kept walking along a small road. This road was very dilapidated and there were almost no lights along the way, but Qiu Xiaohun was very familiar with it. He walked all the way to an old residential area in the dark night.
Qiu Xiaohun stopped at a dilapidated flower bed overgrown with weeds, he brushed away the weeds, revealing a stone statue-like thing, Qiu Xiaohun took out two sticks of incense sticks from his backpack, lit them, and knelt on the ground holding the sticks of incense sticks, He kowtowed to the stone statue a few times and said in a low voice, "Grandma, I'm here to see you."
The incense sticks are graceful, lingering on the stone statue, and suddenly become the shadow of an old lady when blown by the wind.
The old lady came down from behind the stone statue, casually sat cross-legged beside Qiu Xiaohun, touched Qiu Xiaohun's head, and said affectionately, "My dear grandson, you are here."
"Grandma." Qiu Xiaohun called out, buried her head in the old lady's lap, and looked peaceful and calm as if she had arrived home.
Looking at this scene, Zhou Tong was quite surprised.
The old lady made it clear that she was not a human being, but she was not a ghost, but a housekeeper.
Shoujiaxian refers to the little fairy who guards a family. This kind of little fairy is often transformed into a creature, and is famous for the "white and yellow fox willow".
The grandma Qiu Xiaohun mentioned was not his own grandma, but a Liu Daxian whose body was a snake.
Zhou Tong took out his mobile phone and searched for Qiu Xiaohun's information online.
According to the data, Qiu Xiaohun's parents died when he was young. He originally lived near here and was raised by the Shoujiaxian.It seems that Liu Daxian was originally the Shoujiaxian of their Qiu family, no wonder Qiu Xiaohun has that kind of supernatural power, but maybe it is precisely because of Qiu Xiaohun's supernatural power that he can be raised by the Shoujiaxian.
"Why did you sneak here?" Ling Yuan suddenly appeared behind Zhou Tong and asked with a gloomy face.
Zhou Tong, who was caught, smiled awkwardly, and said, "It just so happens that I have something to do here."
Ling Yuan stared at Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong looked back at Ling Yuan, but found that there were some very deep emotions hidden in Ling Yuan's usually cold eyes, Zhou Tong asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ling Yuan shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go."
Zhou Tong lightened up, and was led by Ling Yuan to walk a dozen steps before stopping. He always felt that something was wrong with Ling Yuan, and it was probably because of the housekeeper.
Zhou Tong turned his head and glanced at the intimate grandparent and grandson in front of the stone statue. At this time, the old lady looked up at Zhou Tong, showing a kind smile.
