Lin Xi lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, "Master, I will go to the underworld to find you the day after tomorrow."
Master Xuankong asked, "Aren't you going to invite your husband?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "Don't let him know about this, and don't tell anyone else or the ghost either."
Master Xuankong wore a gossipy expression, his weathered demeanor tinged with a hint of lewdness. "Why? Is it alright not to tell your dear husband about something so important?"
Lin Xi looked up. "I was afraid he would worry."
"Tsk~ Master understands." Master Xuankong said in a low, smug tone.
"My disciple, have you fallen in love with him?"
Lin Xi didn't answer, but pushed her master out, saying, "Hurry back to collect souls, or Black Impermanence will come looking for you."
"Old Fan is too busy to bother with me. Master, please sit a while longer and meet the Fu family lad, hehe."
Master Xuankong rubbed his hands together, about to squeeze through the door.
Lin Xi casually opened the gate to the underworld, grabbed his collar and threw him in, saying, "Goodbye, Master. Take care."
Master Xuan Kong screamed, "Holy crap! Wrong place!"
"This is the River of Oblivion, not the Road to the Underworld!!"
Linxi closed the gates of hell, shutting out the noisy sounds.
It's winter now, the leaves have fallen and the flowers have withered, the lawn is bare, a desolate sight.
Light snow began to fall from the sky, and a thin layer of snowflakes covered the ground, making it a little slippery to walk on.
Lin Xi stopped in the pavilion, recalling a long time ago when she and Fu Jingyao admired the moonlight here.
She sat for a while, then went to the backyard.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, landing on our heads like clumps of cotton wool, before melting into a puddle of icy water.
Lin Xi ignored it and continued her walk.
As I walked, a shadow fell overhead, blocking the snowflakes and shielding me from the cold wind.
Lin Xi looked up, "Big brother?"
With the blessing of the spirit-gathering array, the little green sprout absorbs spiritual energy at night and basks in the sunlight during the day, and has already grown to more than a meter tall.
However, the entire tree has only one large leaf.
The leaf covered her head, shielding her from the wind and snow.
Lin Xi touched the tip of her nose. "Thank you, but I don't need it."
The sapling remained unmoved, its resolve unwavering.
He couldn't speak and had incomplete memories, but he knew in his heart that it was his sister, his only sister.
He wanted to protect her.
Lin Xi gently patted the large leaf, "I'm going home to get an umbrella, so I won't get wet in the snow."
The sapling removed its leaves, stretched out its branches, and slid them across the soil, painstakingly writing two characters.
Together!
Lin Xi sighed.
Jiang Tingquan overheard her conversation with her master.
There's a tree in the house, and it can't keep secrets.
Jiang Ji and Jiang Chi set off today; it's unknown when they'll bring back their elder brother's five souls.
Once the three souls and seven spirits are complete, we will send the eldest brother to the underworld.
Lin Xi refused, saying, "You are a tree, you won't leave."
The sapling raised its roots and bounced around in the soil, as if to say: Look, trees can walk too.
Lin Xi mumbled, "Okay."
He's a tree now, not the clever Jiang Ting, who's easily fooled.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the sapling returned to its original position, spread its branches to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and worked hard to grow.
Lin Xi glanced at it and walked back to the living room.
...
At this moment, in the underworld.
Master Xuankong shouted, "Old Fan, Little Yuyu, help! Save my life!"
After returning from collecting souls in the human world, Hei Wuchang heard the familiar cry for help again.
This is the 586th time.
He didn't want to get involved, but after hesitating for a moment, he did anyway.
The Soul-Hooking Lock flew away and fell into the River of Oblivion.
Master Xuan Kong grabbed his partner's soul-snatching lock and shouted with a grin, "Old Fan, I'm ready."
Black Impermanence rolled his eyes and pulled hard.
Master Xuankong flew to the shore, shook off the water of the River of Oblivion, and said, "Thank you, Lao Fan."
Black Impermanence didn't want to hear any more nonsense, so he turned and left.
Master Xuankong, limping, reached out to stop him, "Old Fan, I have something to do, something important."
Black Impermanence's expression was indifferent. "Get out of the way."
Master Xuan Kong hurriedly said, "When all nine fragments are gathered, the world will soon face a great calamity."
Black Impermanence paused, "One piece is still missing."
Master Xuankong cried, tears streaming down his face like pearls from a broken string.
"Old Fan, sob sob, the last fragment is inside my disciple's body, sob sob, please help me, help her, I only have one disciple, sob sob sob."
Black Impermanence's expression changed. "Really?"
"Hmm." Master Xuankong hugged his leg tightly, tears streaming down his face, "My poor disciple... Aww, my poor disciple... Aww!"
Black Impermanence had never seen White Impermanence cry so miserably.
The two have been partners for a thousand years, so I have to help them with this.
He said curtly, "Stop crying, let me think of something."
Master Xuankong smiled.
Yay! Successfully fooled them.
Next, they tricked other ghosts, such as the judge, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Meng Po, and so on.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang.
This concerns the well-being of all people, and we cannot place the burden on my disciple alone; everyone must be involved.
We'll die together, we'll live together.
Master Xuan Kong caught a ghost and began to deceive people with his magic.
After fooling the ghosts, they go up to fool people, such as the Special Administration Bureau and Yuanqing Temple.
Both underground and in the human world, connections are everywhere.
...
At 5 p.m., Fu Jingyao returned to Dijingyuan and saw Lin Xi sitting on the sofa in a daze.
She is at home.
Those few hours felt like years; I was worried every single moment.
I worry that one day she will suddenly disappear.
Fu Jingyao took off his coat, sat down next to Lin Xi, and put his arm around her shoulder.
The warmth of her body seeped through her clothes. Lin Xi turned her head and said, "You're back so early."
Fu Jingyao hugged her waist, gently lifted her up and placed her between his legs, encircling her in his arms.
