Chapter 115
Tan Qingyue couldn't see inside the furnace, so she walked around it and kept searching in the cracks of the hard sand, trying to find any trace of Su Qianchen's soul.
Jitang tugged at Su Jinzhou's sleeve.
Su Jinzhou shook his head.
He used the power of his soul to investigate and found that Su Qianchen's soul was not inside.
Ji Tang lowered her eyes in disappointment. She had also investigated and found the same result as Su Jinzhou.
She didn't know how to comfort Tan Qingyue. She walked forward several times and wanted to speak several times, but in the end she stopped at her slightly crazy back.
She looked at Su Jinzhou, knowing that he was also sad, "Senior Brother..."
Su Jinzhou smiled faintly and tried to comfort her: "Everyone's destiny is different. Qianchen had no fate to become an immortal. He was able to live for another thousand years thanks to you. He made his own choice, and I respect it."
She knew that he was a thoughtful person and didn't show many things.
Ji Tang sighed softly: "Senior brother is the one who is taking the trouble."
The longevity elixir can only maintain life for a few hundred years at most. After that, Tan Qingyue could not refine the longevity elixir, so he went to Jiumingyuan again. However, he was stopped by Su Jinzhou who was guarding outside the mountain. From then on, all the elixirs that extended Su Qianchen's life were refined by Su Jinzhou.
He said, "She doesn't recognize me as her senior brother, so what's the point of making a longevity elixir?"
Tan Qingyue told her all this later.
Only at this time would the senior brother sever their relationship, so as to prevent her from suffering the possible influence of the power of fate.
I think her fall into the Nine Nether Abyss was also the result of the power of creation.
Suddenly, the scene in front of him darkened. When Ji Tang looked up, he saw Su Jinzhou in black clothes passing by like fluttering butterfly wings. The next moment, he had already flashed forward and grabbed Tan Qingyue who was about to enter the furnace.
Ji Tang's heart was pounding fast and she walked forward quickly.
Tan Qingyue's arms were held by Su Jinzhou as he turned her over. She kept struggling and screaming, shouting "Let go", her eyes fixed on the furnace.
She couldn't break free, and became more and more crazy, her voice hysterical: "Don't stop me!!!"
Ji Tang's eyes were red, and she held Tan Qingyue's face in her hands.
Tan Qingyue moved a lot, but every time she turned her face to the side, Ji Tang straightened it back.
She met Ji Tang's eyes and suddenly stopped talking. Ji Tang's eyes were bloodshot and he just stared at her.
Ji Tang asked seriously: "Have you decided?"
Tears streamed down Tan Qingyue's cheeks, and her eyes gradually became clear. She nodded heavily: "I'm sure, Jitang."
Jitang's fingers trembled slightly, and then slowly put them down.
She hugged Tan Qingyue and heard Tan Qingyue choking and whispering, "Jitang, thank you."
Tan Qingyue and Jitang passed each other.
The heavy muffled sound of a furnace was heard behind him, and Ji Tang's arms fell down weakly.
Su Jinzhou felt heartbroken when he saw Ji Tang suppressing his silent tears.
It was silent all around.
Su Jinzhou strode over and held Jitang in his arms.
Ji Tang's eyes darkened and his tears soaked his black robe.
The muffled roar of the furnace still echoed in her ears, and a voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
——"Have you made up your mind?"
Whose voice is that?
Ji Tang suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head like a needle prick, and she heard her own voice.
——"We will meet again if we are destined to."
The voice seemed to be behind her, and it was so cold that it didn't sound like a living person.
——"It's better not to see you forever."
Jitang slowly raised his arms, wrapped them around Su Jinzhou's back, and his fingers gradually tightened, causing wrinkles on Xuan Yi's clothes.
Su Jinzhou's eyes gradually darkened. He raised his hand and placed it behind her head, completely protecting her in his arms.
Ye Baidu looked at the two people hugging each other.
Is this why you chose to go back?
He asked silently, then immediately lowered his eyes and said to Chu Jinhuai: "I will explain the matter of the black-clad forces to the other ferrymen. You come with me."
Chu Jinhuai looked towards Jitang and Su Jinzhou, then said, "Okay, the three of us will go back with you first."
There were only two of them left in the Crucible.
Ji Tang waited until the severe headache subsided a little before she let go of Su Jinzhou's black clothes. She stroked the folds to smooth out the marks.
Su Jinzhou suddenly smiled, and he used the Water Purification Technique to wipe Jitang's face.
Ji Tang let him wipe it, and the two of them were exactly the same as when they were together before. Ji Tang smiled as he thought about it, but the smile didn't last for a moment before the corners of his mouth fell again.
Su Jinzhou rubbed the corner of her mouth that was drooping.
Ji Tang hesitated: "Brother, Qing Yue just said something to me."
"Well, what did you say?"
Ji Tang was silent for a moment, then silently took Su Jinzhou's hand.
Su Jinzhou was stunned by her sudden action. The soft touch in his hand made him so excited that he wanted to tighten his hand immediately, but he was afraid that he would be too excited and lose his composure and hurt her.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Ji Tang say, "Qing Yue met your mother when she first entered the Forgotten Sea. She seemed to be looking for someone as well."
——When I first entered the Wangchuan Sea, I met Qian Chen’s mother, and Queen Liangshu seemed to be looking for someone as well.
——Jitang, thank you.
Ji Tang suppressed the bitterness and pain in his heart and carefully observed Su Jinzhou's expression.
"My...mother?"
Jitang has been sleeping for four hundred years. From the time he woke up until now, he has never been seen with such a confused expression.
She asked softly, in a soothing tone: "Shall we go ask Ye Baidu?"
Su Jinzhou held her hand tightly and nodded in agreement.
Empress Liangshu was not a cultivator, nor was she introduced to the realm of the dead through Yebai Ferry, so he had no impression of it.
The two had no choice but to look for it at sea.
The Forgotten Sea is extremely large, with no end in sight. In addition to the ferry boats that constantly come in from the entrance, you can also see the dead walking on the sea.
Most of them are in a daze, and like Tan Qingyue, they have lost their sight and hearing.
Even if you see someone who is still sober, he or she has just entered the sea not long ago, so it is impossible to find out anything.
As they watched, they released their spiritual power to investigate.
The enormous spiritual power of the two people spread out, connecting together where they were close to form a huge spiritual net that covered a large area of the Forgotten Sea.
It is not easy to search for people in such a large area. Wherever the power of the soul passes, they sense the dead people covered by the net and screen them one by one.
After screening one area, move to another place and continue searching.
There is no distinction between day and night in the Wangchuan River, and it is dark all day long.
They searched the entire Forgotten Sea but could not find Queen Liangshu.
That day, Ye Baidu took the dead to the realm of the dead and met Jitang and others.
Chu Jinhuai and the other two were busy discussing with other ferrymen how to deal with the black-clad forces. They had also stayed in Yewangchuan for quite some time. If it weren't for the spiritual shield left on them by Su Jinzhou, they would have been unable to bear the deathly aura here.
Yebaidu stopped the ferry and asked, "Hasn't found it yet?"
He said: "It is almost impossible for ordinary people to cross the Lethe Sea."
Su Jinzhou refused to give up, "Is there no exception?"
Ye Baidu raised his oars and said, "There are exceptions, but the person you are looking for has been dead for thousands of years. Even if you go into that place, after such a long time, you should not be able to survive. Your soul will have already been scattered."
Ji Tang urged, "Brother Du, stop playing dumb. What exactly is this place?"
Ye Baidu was not used to this name. Every time she called him like this, he felt a little trembling in his heart - of course, it was not a heartbeat, but a shuddering feeling as if he was being plotted against.
Ye Baidu has been dead for so long, but this is the first time I have met such a person.
He said, "You've seen whirlpools appear on the surface of the Lethe Sea from time to time. Entering through a whirlpool leads to the realm of the dead beneath the sea."
Ji Tang was puzzled, "What is that place for?"
Ye Baidu pointed at himself and said, "This is the place where ferrymen are trained."
*
Ye Baidu’s words are still ringing in my ears.
"Not everyone can become a ferryman. First, they need to be recognized by the Wangchuan River. Even this point is uncertain. We can't find a pattern as to what kind of dead the Wangchuan River recognizes. If you are not recognized by the Wangchuan River, you cannot enter the realm of the dead. You... are an exception."
In front of the whirlpool, Ji Tang didn't even need to take action. Su Jinzhou directly used his spiritual power to break the barrier on the whirlpool that was sometimes real and sometimes illusory and filled with deathly aura.
His spiritual power was as real as substance, wrapping around Ji Tang like a dragon's tail and taking her with him as he jumped into the whirlpool.
Ye Baidu said that even if ordinary people were chosen by Wangchuan and pulled into the whirlpool, not everyone could successfully pass the test of the Undead Realm.
If you fail, your soul will be scattered, only if you pass can you become a ferryman.
Under the vortex, the deathly aura is even thicker.
The underworld fire burns and never goes out.
There are far fewer dead bodies here than above. Some of them were recently pulled down, and their expressions are still confused, while others have been here for a while, and most of them have indifferent and cold expressions.
The two of them shuttled among the dead, and the power of their souls dispersed at the same time.
Arriving at a place where many dead bodies were gathered, Jitang grabbed a dead body and asked, "Miss, why are there so many people gathered here?"
The girl seemed quite lucid, but she spoke very slowly. "Here... I'm waiting... to become... a ferryman..."
As he was speaking, there was a commotion ahead.
The girl frowned, "Again... making trouble..."
Ji Tang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white figure among the dead, grabbing anyone it saw, with a sharp and piercing sound.
"Have you seen my son?"
"Tell me! Have you seen my son?"
Jitang saw that the dead still had emotions like those of the living, and could make expressions of disgust and irritation.
"Go, go, go, you're here to look for your son again."
"Auntie, you've been dead for so many years. Your son must have died long ago too."
"If you don't let go of your obsession, your soul will be shattered!"
Su Jinzhou also saw the figure. Anxiety appeared between his eyebrows and he went there holding Jitang's hand.
When he got closer, Jitang recognized at a glance that this was Su Jinzhou's mother, Queen Liangshu.
Empress Liangshu was pushed impatiently, and she staggered and refused to leave, and kept asking people questions one by one.
She didn't know how many times she had done the same thing, how many times she had said the same thing. Before she even saw Su Jinzhou's face, she had already grabbed his sleeve and asked him, "Have you seen my son?"
Su Jinzhou was speechless for a moment.
His voice was stuck in his throat and he could hardly breathe.
Queen Liangshu then raised her head and was stunned when she saw Su Jinzhou's appearance.
"Like! Really like! My son will definitely look like you when he grows up!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around, grabbed Jitang and asked, "Have you seen my son?"
Jitang: "What's your son's name?"
Queen Liangshu: "No! No!"
Ji Tang immediately remembered that this was the name of the third prince.
