Chapter 71: Live broadcast of the ascension on the 71st day. He will have another chance...
ah?
Shi Xianyu thought he had misheard, and his expression was even more dull than that of the Ghost Queen.
Unsure, he asked again, "Have you seen it?"
Empress Taining just looked at Master Xianyu without answering.
Shi Xianyu could see that the Queen was not thinking fast enough to answer.
Even if there is suspicion of talking nonsense, you have to ask again to confirm.
He then added, "Are you sure, Madam, that you have seen something other than the Guided Boat floating on the Yellow Springs? It didn't dissolve into water, nor did it sink?"
Empress Taining understood this time.
She nodded and said, "I've seen it."
There was one more word than the previous answer, and the tone sounded firm.
Shi Xianyu and Xu Zhilan looked at each other.
I decided to first see what Empress Taining had discovered, and whether it was really possible to float and walk on the underworld.
"Could you please take us there to have a look?"
Xu Zhilan bowed again.
He wanted to continue expressing his gratitude, but before he could open his mouth, the Ghost King floated to the side.
As soon as it moved, it floated more than ten feet away.
Perhaps realizing that Shi Xianyu and Xu Zhilan hadn't caught up, Empress Taining turned around again and stared at them with empty eyes, as if silently urging them on.
Seeing this, Shi Xianyu and Xu Zhilan hurriedly followed.
The Queen Ghost King does not follow the usual path.
He directly led them away from Yinlu Avenue. No one knew where their destination was. Anyway, they went further and further away, and there was not even a ghost in sight.
The surroundings were desolate and gloomy. As I walked, the Queen Ghost King was looming in the fog.
If you're not careful, you'll almost fall behind.
It's not just because of the thick fog.
And the grayish robe that Master Xianyu gave to Queen Ghost King was too close to the color of the fog.
He originally thought that this color would be more suitable for the little ghost to survive in the ghost world and would make it easier to escape. But who knew that the other person was actually the Ghost King!
If I had known this, I would have given her something bright red, which would have made her look fierce enough to wear.
Master Xianyu was lost in thought as he followed the empress through the dark fog with strange wind sounds.
I don’t know how long it has been.
Suddenly, the view became wider, the fog gradually dissipated, and I found myself in a field of flowers that were as red as blood.
The Ghost Queen was still moving forward without stopping.
Therefore, the two of them followed and moved forward.
The color of the sea of flowers is getting darker and darker.
Like blood gradually drying up.
It seems that there is a hidden danger here, but I don’t know if it is because of the Ghost Queen or because the taboos have not been touched. It is like flowers and plants in the mortal world, swaying in the cold wind.
At this time, the Ghost Queen stopped.
She waited for the two to come behind her.
Then he pointed to Huang Quan and said, "I've seen it here."
Shi Xianyu looked at the thin figure of the Ghost King Queen who was close to the edge of the Yellow Springs, and always felt that if the wind blew a little stronger, it would blow the person down.
He looked in the direction where the empress pointed.
…
I saw nothing.
Shi Xianyu watched Xu Zhilan take the child and act like a silent husband again, so he asked, "Does your Majesty still remember what that thing you saw?"
Finished.
He reminded her again that getting too close to Huangquan was too dangerous. To avoid the other party getting confused, he didn't try to be polite and simply suggested taking two steps back.
The Ghost Queen is very easy to talk to, or rather, she doesn't think much.
Anyway, that’s what Master Xianyu said.
It just followed suit.
After spending some time thinking, he replied, "I remember it was grass. It fell into the Yellow Spring and slowly turned into the color of the Yellow Spring. In the end, it didn't turn into water."
The Ghost Queen spoke these few short sentences slowly for a long time.
It doesn't remember much.
Just to say these words, I have racked my brains and worked very hard.
"Grass?"
The first thing that Master Xianyu thought of was the sea of flowers he was in.
In addition to the blood-red flowers, there is also thick and sticky green grass. The flowers are tall and the grass is low, so at first glance you will only notice the flowers first.
Thinking of this, he pointed to the flowers and plants beside him and asked tentatively, "Are these the ones?"
"no."
The Ghost Queen shook her head.
It thought very hard, and after a long while, it finally managed to utter: "It's not from here."
Maybe I just don’t know how to describe it.
The Ghost Queen stretched out her hands and pointed everywhere.
He pointed in all directions before repeating, "It's not what's here."
here?
Master Xianyu looked around at the gloomy and gloomy surroundings.
Suddenly I realized.
"You mean it's not something from the ghost world?"
The Ghost Queen did not answer, but just stared at her Master Yu Gan.
It thought hard again.
It felt like it should be correct, so he nodded uncertainly.
He tried to add, "It's a bit like the aura you have. After the fight and the death, it's all gone. Only the grass floated along the water to me..."
Master Xianyu understood.
There was a fight between monks who fell into the Yellow Springs. Almost everything was absorbed into the Yellow Springs, except for a certain kind of grass that the monks carried with them. It did not turn into spring water, but turned into the color of the spring water.
So here comes the question.
What kind of grass is it?
Magical herb? Or just an ordinary grass?
Hongguang is so vast! There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of grass...
Master Xianyu asked the Ghost King with anticipation what the grass looked like.
Empress Taining works very hard.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't say anything. I could only say, "It was originally green, but it faded when it fell into the water, and finally became the same color as the water..."
I can only repeat myself in these few sentences.
There is not much difference between saying it and not saying it.
What else could Master Xianyu do?
We finally got some information, we can't just give up, right?
Let's try it.
Maybe he and Xu Zhilan have it on them?
Shi Xianyu reached out and touched Long Aotian's little face, muttering, "It will definitely work if I can get some of Long Aotian's luck!"
He believed in Long Aotian.
I also temporarily believe in the providence of heaven that drives everything.
This trip will definitely succeed!
After Master Xianyu had fooled himself, he took out the storage bag and discussed with Xu Zhilan to try putting each kind of grass into the Yellow Springs.
Of course, there's no need to try for those that are too rare and in small quantities. Even if you do find them, you can't use them right now.
Put aside the things you can't try first and make plans later.
Soon, the two were ready.
Shi Xianyu felt a slight chill beside him, and when he turned around, he saw Queen Ghost King squatting beside him, staring quietly at the grass he kept throwing into the water.
Seems very interested.
After thinking about it, Master Xianyu gave one of the storage bags containing ordinary herbs to the empress, and taught her again how to use the storage bag, how to find the herbs, and how to throw them away.
One more person...ghost, one more force!
If he wasn't worried that the news would get out and cause unnecessary trouble, he would have wanted to catch a group of ghosts to help him!
It’s so good to be a ghost. You don’t need to eat or drink, you can just work.
Beat up those who don't obey.
Those who are unable to work will be eliminated directly.
It’s more cost-effective than hiring people in the cultivation world by spending spirit stones!
Thinking about it this way, he was a little tempted by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner.
Every ghost inside is a labor force that does not need to be paid!
Master Xian Yu was daydreaming while experimenting with the magic herb.
He had even imagined the Ghost King Banner to be a masterpiece, but the surface of the Yellow Springs was still clear. Apart from the ripples caused by dropping the grass, there was no significant change at all.
Then I wondered whether I should pour it all in.
However, considering that many spiritual herbs look similar and may undergo unknown changes after falling into the water, he gave up on taking the shortcut.
Be honest and try one plant at a time.
Fortunately, this area is too remote and there are no ghosts around, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed by unsightly prying eyes.
Time passes slowly like the flowing water of the Yellow Spring.
Master Xianyu didn't know how many times he repeated the action of taking the spiritual herb and throwing it away.
There is no day or night in the ghost world.
He just knew.
My patience has been tempered to a higher level.
I can't even think of anything random.
He had thought of everything he could think of, even the Queen Ghost King's repayment, and had preset fifty-eight different possibilities in his mind.
Just as Master Xianyu continued to multitask, he began to recall the formation books he had read in Longyuan.
Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of green on the water.
Green, but light.
If I hadn't had sharp eyes and was not so close, I would have overlooked it.
"Lanlan! Look! It didn't turn into water, it's actually floating!"
Shi Xianyu hurriedly pulled Xu Zhilan's arm and pointed at the tiny green spot.
I saw that the color of the grass faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it was still floating on the water. Only when the water ripples were occasionally stirred up could the shape of the grass be vaguely seen.
Master Xianyu recalled for a moment and said happily, "This is the Soul Gathering Grass! No wonder it can gather souls, it has such a connection with Huangquan!"
In fact, the soul-gathering grass is also a rare spiritual object in heaven and earth.
Fortunately, he and Xu Zhilan were really lucky. When they were in the Lindu Secret Realm, they encountered a dense patch of soul-gathering grass.
Master Xian Yu pondered for a moment.
He took out another soul-gathering grass from the storage bag. Different from the small grass he had tried to throw in before, this one was much older and had a better soul-gathering effect.
He couldn't bear to throw the whole plant in to try it.
It took me a lot of effort to try it out, and I still haven't figured out how to use it properly, so I still have to use it sparingly.
Master Xianyu picked a leaf of medium size and threw it into the underworld.
Without blinking.
Just staring at it.
The green soul-gathering grass faded in color as soon as it entered the water, leaving only the veins of the leaves with a hint of rich green.
In addition to this, they also found that the leaves had become larger!
Almost twice as much!
The leaves stretch out as if they have absorbed enough water, and the color becomes more similar to water towards the edges.
Those who don’t know would think that the green on the water is just the color created by the shimmering water.
Shi Xianyu felt that the enlargement of the leaves should be related to the age of the Soul Gathering Grass.
He then took out one with a higher vintage.
As expected! This time it stretched four or five times more!
He tried again, throwing a small piece of stone at the leaf.
The stone didn't disappear or turn into water!
As a result, Master Xianyu had some ideas.
He has a lot of soul-gathering grass in his hands.
Using the ability of this spiritual herb to expand in water, using the ten-thousand-year-old soul-gathering grass as the main component, a boat or a leaf that can accommodate a person can be made...
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to carry them to the underworld!
Shi Xianyu expressed his thoughts, staring at Xu Zhilan with shining eyes, his tone unable to conceal his excitement.
Xu Zhilan really wanted to touch Xiaoyu's head.
Looking up at his little fish, it seemed as if "Come and praise me" was written all over its body, and its tail seemed to be wagging constantly.
Proud and cute.
Unfortunately, he was holding the child in his arms and holding a used soul-gathering grass in his other hand.
Just wanted to say a few words of praise.
The Ghost King, who was so quiet that he seemed non-existent, suddenly spoke.
"What a great idea! You're amazing to come up with such a good idea..."
Empress Taining spoke slowly.
But the tone was sincere.
Even the dull expression seemed to have a hint of envy.
It also did not forget to clap, again and again, very supportive, and I don't know where it learned it from.
When Xu Zhilan saw Master Xianyu turned around and looked at the Ghost King, he kept saying sorry, but he looked even more proud. He even carefully explained to the not-so-bright Ghost King why he had such a plan.
There was no intention of paying any more attention to him for a while.
…
He realized that when he wanted to touch the other person's head, he had already missed the opportunity.
Whatever.
He'll have a next time.
