Lian Lizhi then said, "Husband, do you remember that Aruo told us before that she would invite us to go there sometime later?"

Li Qing nodded: "I remember." But he became even more dejected. "So, she really went there? Isn't that the Yin—"

He didn't say the word "间".

Xie Xiao staggered. "Could it be the world she was talking about? Where did she go?"

Chu Yunji said she went back to hell; is there some connection between them?

Liao Fusheng's face was deathly pale. "She went back to heaven? She doesn't want them, these mortals, anymore."

Sun Ergou was getting really anxious because of them: "What world? Here, there, in the sky? Can't you speak like a human being?"

Lian Lizhi said, "What I mean is, since she was able to invite us there, does that mean she can come back?"

Li Qing was suddenly startled. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?"

Xie Xiao stared intently at him. "So, where exactly is that place?"

"Don't be in a hurry." Lian Lizhi looked at Liao Fusheng. "Cousin, can you do a divination for everyone and see which direction Aruo is in?"

Her expression was very calm, which gave people a sense of confidence.

Liao Fusheng had been hesitant to perform divination for some time, fearing he might receive a hint that she was no longer alive. But now, he seemed to have the courage to do so.

"good."

Everyone held their breath in anticipation.

The trigram Kan (坎) is formed by combining the upper and lower trigrams.

"What does this mean?" Old Mrs. Li asked.

Xie Xiao stared intently at Liao Fusheng, thinking that if he said anything bad, he would beat Liao Fusheng's buttocks until they were bruised and battered.

Liao Fusheng dared not look at Xie Xiao. "Although this divination looks very ominous, it is not entirely hopeless. Water is the source of all things. Everyone is born in water, so it can also be a new beginning. As the saying goes, encountering water brings wealth. After overcoming difficulties, there will be a new world."

This is something I'm saying to others, and also to myself.

Having hope is better than having none.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Ergou said, "But Daoist, you haven't told me which direction my sister is in yet."

Liao Fusheng is waiting to make the calculations.

Suddenly, a song began to play outside:

The reeds are green and lush, and the white dew has turned to frost.

The one I long for is on the other side of the water.

Going upstream to follow it, the road is difficult and long.

I followed the stream upstream, and it seemed to be right in the middle of the water.

The reeds are lush and green, the white dew has not yet risen.

The one I long for is on the bank of the water.

Going upstream to follow it, the path is difficult and steep.

Following the current upstream, it seems to be on a sandbar in the water.

The reeds are lush and green, the white dew has not yet ceased.

The one I long for is on the edge of the water.

We went upstream to follow it, but the road was difficult and winding.

Following the current upstream, it seems to be on a sandbar in the water.

When everyone went outside, they saw a group of children reciting, and they didn't know which minister's children they were.

Liao Fusheng said, "South."

"Get lost!" Xie Xiao glared at him.

"I'm not talking about the difficulty of the south, but the south of the south. The sandbar in the water is a place with sand, which matches the south I divined."

Everyone was shocked. "So, does this mean it's the beach?"

"But right now there's water everywhere, so where is the sea or the beach?"

Soon, everyone understood. They looked at Xie, who had lost a lot of weight in just over ten days. If they didn't give him a direction and a hope, he might follow them to the afterlife.

Sure enough, Xie Xiao's dark eyes lit up. "Then I will go downstream with the current to the south until I find her."

That woman has food, drink, and medicine in her Sumeru mustard seed; she definitely won't die.

Li Qing said, "I'll go. You stay here and keep watch."

"No, I'll go." Xie Xiao's attitude was unusually firm. "Big Brother is in charge here. Have you forgotten, Big Brother? Our original plan was to take the capital and then head south. Now it's perfect. While I'm looking for her, I can also clean up those places one by one."

Officials who serve the people will be kept, while corrupt officials and wicked river bandits will be dealt with. "At the same time, we can collect grain from various places."

The Great Yin region is mountainous and rich in resources; there's always a way to find food to survive.

Seeing his reaction, Li Qing knew she couldn't persuade him otherwise. "Then thank you for your trouble," she said, giving him a heavy pat on the shoulder.

Xie Xiao remained motionless; he could no longer feel the pain in his body.

"Boss, General, go out and take a look, the water seems to have receded a bit!" Xu Dafu ran in, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

Everyone ran to the marked shore and stared wide-eyed.

"One foot!"

This is an earth-shattering discovery!

The original road, from the water's surface to the foot of the mountain (the bottom of the water), was nearly four hundred feet long, as Xie Xiao had measured it after going into the water many times.

The water level started to drop today. If it drops by one foot every day, the ground will be visible within a year!

The crowd cheered.

I thought it would take more than two years.

"Could it be a divine intervention?"

Looking at the bare Yutai Temple, everyone wondered if the immortals had returned to heaven to perform rituals together.

Their gods did not return to heaven, but went to another world.

At this moment, in a certain space.

Let's rewind to ten days ago.

Li Ruo, who was in a coma, had many dreams.

In her dream, her father, a general, had a horse racing competition with her. "Haha, Ruo'er, you lost."

"If you're not satisfied, come again."

"Good, women are just as capable as men. My daughter can do what men can do. She will fight alongside her father in the future."

The ten-year-old girl stared with her clear, bright eyes. "Really? But Grandma always makes me do needlework, saying it's not proper for a girl to be fighting and killing."

"Haha, that's the kind of person your grandma is. Dad will talk to her and tell her not to interfere with you," the general said.
