Chapter 124: Walking in the Dark
After saying that, Xia Wange turned around and looked at Lu Qiu. Seeing him staring at her, she quickly explained, "The spirit-viewing technique is the one I performed on Sister Dou on the bridge last time. It's also called walking in the underworld."
"I know." Lu Qiu asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say last time that you didn't need this method and you could just go down and take a look with your physical body? Why do you suddenly want to use this method today?"
"We may have to go into the water to look for it." Xia Wange said as he wrapped a waxed red line around his wrist, then climbed into the back seat and sat next to Lu Qiu. "The weather is getting colder and colder. It's a bit harmful to walk with the mortal body. It's better to use the spirit-viewing technique."
After saying that, Xia Wange pulled out the red string and tied the other end to Lu Qiu's wrist. "The upside-down grandma I saw in the early morning gave me inspiration. If my soul leaves my body, I can also stick my head in the ground to look for things. After all, it is a different scenery."
There was one more thing she didn't say.
In the past, she used her physical body when traveling in the underworld, because she didn't have a soul-taker she trusted to lead her back. Now that she has Lu Qiu, it's different. She can also rely on her soul to do things instead of running around in her physical body.
Moreover, the spirit-watching technique has another function. She wants to see what her Yuanchen Palace in the underworld looks like.
She had tried to travel to the underworld with her physical body several times before but never saw anything. It should be possible for the soul to leave the body.
Everyone has a Yuanchen Palace of his own. This palace varies according to the fate of its owner. Some are magnificent, some are grand, and some are shabby, shabby and simple.
By looking at your Yuanchen Palace, you can also calculate your fortune.
I heard that there was a rice jar, a water jar and a life lamp in the palace.
If the rice jar is full, it means the owner's fortune is very good. On the contrary, if the rice jar is empty, it means the owner's fortune is bad.
The water tank represents wealth. If the water tank is dry, it means bad wealth. Otherwise, it means excellent wealth.
There is a life lamp burning in the main hall of Yuanchen Palace. If the light is dim and flickers, it means that the owner will die soon. On the contrary, if the light is bright and full of lamp oil, it means that the owner will live a long life.
It was difficult for people in their line of work to predict their own destiny, and it was even more difficult for her. She couldn't figure out anything from her birth date, so she was really curious and wanted to take a look.
Lu Qiu looked at the red string on his wrist that was tied to Xia Wange for a long time and asked, "How should I lead the way?"
Xia Wange put a red cloth over his eyes and said, "Just like me last time, although I am out of my body, I can still talk to you. When I come back, you just light the thread in your hand."
"Okay." Lu Qiu said.
Taking out the incense burner, Xia Wange lit the soul-leaving incense and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
"If I can't talk to you this time, then you can light the thread between us in one hour, which is two hours later."
After saying that, Xia Wange looked at Lu Qiu and said solemnly: "Lu Qiu, I leave my life to you."
Lu Qiu nodded, "Don't worry."
After saying that, Xia Wange covered her eyes with the red cloth, adjusted her seat, and then closed her eyes.
Not long after, Lu Qiu saw Xia Wange start to speak, "Okay, I'm out, I'm leaving. By the way, I've brought the bone spur with me, it's quite dark, I can use it to do things when the time comes."
"Be careful." Lu Qiu warned.
"Hey, I didn't realize before that your car looks quite impressive from a distance. Wow, your car looks really spectacular when viewed with a spirit body, with purple air everywhere. No ghosts or monsters are approaching here. Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder it worked so well to push you onto the street this morning..."
"Are you still leaving?" Lu Qiu was speechless when he thought about how Xia Wange pushed him to the limit today.
"Let's go, let's go." After saying that, Xia Wange closed his mouth temporarily.
Hearing the people around him finally quiet down, Lu Qiu glanced at the red line on his wrist.
The temperature inside the car was just right. He lowered the window a little to allow some fresh air, then closed his eyes to rest.
The river was right next to her, so Xia Wange was not in a hurry to find Yin Ling, she went straight to the underworld first. However, it was the 15th day of the seventh month when the gates of hell were wide open, and while she was using the Yin Qi to accomplish her mission, she also had to endure the crowds of ghosts.
After almost stepping on a few ghosts, Xia Wange changed direction and took a more difficult path. There were fewer ghosts but more troublemakers on this side.
Just after passing the road full of red spider lilies, Xia Wange heard unfamiliar footsteps coming from behind. She lowered her head and took a few quick steps, then turned around suddenly and pressed the bone spur against the person's neck.
When Xia Wange saw who was coming, he was stunned.
"Lu Qiu?!"
Lu Qiu in front of him glanced at Xia Wange with a confused look. He looked around and then at the bone spur on his neck. After his expression changed several times, he asked uncertainly: "Xia Wange? Where... Where am I?"
Xia Wange stared at Lu Qiu's eyes, then sneered, "Meng Mei, huh? You took advantage of the day when the Yin energy was rising and came out to lie to me again? I wonder if you have a masochistic personality? Every time you come out, I stab you. Whenever you have a chance to come out, you still turn into his appearance so that I can stab you. Tell me, can you be more serious? He usually sits in a wheelchair. You can't let him stand this time just because you are in a hurry."
"Let...let you stab me?" Lu Qiu was confused but with a hint of certainty, "It seems that my last guess was right."
"Heh." Xia Wange sneered, raised his hand and gently patted Lu Qiu's face, "Be good this time, hurry back to my sea of consciousness, don't force me to beat you up here, look at all the ghosts and monsters here, if I beat you up so badly, you'll lose your reputation."
Lu Qiu frowned, "I, I'm not Meng Mei, and I don't know why I'm here..."
Before he could finish, Lu Qiu felt a chill on his side. Xia Wange held the bone spur and stabbed it towards his body with cold eyes. The movement was so fierce that he could even feel the air surging around him. But in a flash, the bone spur inexplicably slipped out of her hand and stabbed vertically towards her foot. Xia Wange quickly jumped to the side to avoid being hurt by the bone spur that contained evil energy.
"What's going on?!" Xia Wange was shocked and widened her eyes. "I'm not dreaming. You shouldn't be so capable and pretend to be so convincing..."
As she spoke, Xia Wange picked up the bone spur and looked up and down at Lu Qiu in front of her. She raised her hand and patted his shoulder, touched his chest muscles, and then pinched his waist. When she was about to move down for further confirmation, she was pinched by the other party on the wrist.
"Xia Wange!" Lu Qiu gritted his teeth. "In your dreams, you always treat me like this? If you can't stab me, you just touch me?"
