Chapter 72: Live Ascension, 72nd Day, Expressing Feelings, Becoming a Taoist Companion...
Master Xian Yu finally showed off enough.
Although the Ghost Queen didn't know many words and spoke very little, her words were pleasant to the ears and sincere.
I couldn't help but say a little more.
Of course, he is aware of his own level.
Considering that Huangquan is no joke, his idea alone will not work. He still needs to pool the wisdom of everyone to see if there is a better and more reliable way.
Xu Zhilan's belated praise did not attract much attention from Xiaoyu.
He didn't say any more.
He only proposed the hypothesis of combining the soul-gathering grass with the spiritual light of merit.
"That's right! This way, we have double protection!"
Shi Xianyu originally wanted to say that if someone accidentally fell into the water, the golden light of merit would be able to protect them to the shore.
But think about it, this is really unlucky.
Just be clear about it, and don't say anything else.
He added, "We need to prepare another set and weave it into armor. Even if it can't protect the body, it can at least protect the Nascent Soul and the Soul."
that is……
I wonder if there's enough Soul Gathering Grass...
Master Xianyu felt a little regretful that he had not picked all the soul-gathering grass at that time.
But only a little.
We have to leave some opportunities for future generations and not just think about ourselves.
If it is really bad, even if you pick all the leaves, it can't make up for it.
That's luck.
Now that they had figured out a solution, the two of them were no longer idle and began to think about how to make a boat with the branches and leaves of the magical herbs.
It’s not a good idea to just pick up the Soul Gathering Grass and start making it at the beginning. It would be a waste if it’s done wrong.
He then found the Spirit Gathering Grass, which was 80% similar to the Soul Gathering Grass. It was used in almost all elixirs and could also be used to set up formations, so Master Xianyu also carried a lot of it with him.
Large quantity, enough for you.
The magical herb is available.
The hardest step is here.
How to make it up?
Master Yu thought about Xu Zhilan's skill in building walls that could be described as destructive, so he only allocated a small part for the other party to try.
Seeing the Ghost Queen looking at him blankly, he treated everyone equally and gave a small portion to the other party.
Finally, I started rummaging through the storage bag.
Fortunately, he followed his master to take classes everywhere and learned a little bit of everything. He successfully found a book about the making of robes, and opened it accurately to the part about weaving rare materials into cloth!
Probably, they are all similar, right?
Master Xianyu was not sure either and could only grope his way around.
Finished finding materials and books.
He took out a clean tablecloth specially used for setting up stalls, spread it on the ground, sat in the middle, and invited Xu Zhilan and Queen Ghost King to sit down.
Just tinker with it according to the books.
Master Xianyu was both serious and hardworking, doing everything meticulously according to the book, and he did not dare to use spiritual power, as spiritual power would destroy the efficacy of the spirit gathering grass, and would also destroy the soul gathering grass.
Work hard for an hour.
God will not let down those who work hard!
Made an ugly thing...
Not strong yet.
Shi Xianyu looked at the loose and even clumping semi-finished product and spread it out carefully.
It can barely be considered a thick blanket.
It's a stretch, but at least it gives a rough idea.
Shi Xianyu silently turned to look at Xu Zhilan, trying to find comfort from him.
The facts prove it.
He was right. The one Xu Zhilan made was like a ball, very thick, very solid, and very tight.
It feels like it will sink directly if you throw it into the water.
Shi Xianyu saw that Xu Zhilan was quite serious and didn't seem to see any problems. He even always found a way to add new branches and leaves to the "ball".
…
He quietly stuffed a few more handfuls of spirit gathering grass over.
Have fun, there’s plenty of it.
Master Xian Yu looked at the Ghost Queen again.
The other party held a root of spirit gathering grass in each hand and stared at the book on the ground.
He stared blankly without blinking.
It looked like he was longing for knowledge to enter his brain but was powerless to do anything about it.
Master Xian Yu knew it was difficult.
Nor was I discouraged.
He let out a long breath and continued to work hard.
After no less than a day and a night of hard work!
Shi Xianyu finally...made the blanket into a ball, but it was so loose that the leaves would fall off when it was shaken.
…
Instead of progress, we are regressing.
Xu Zhilan began to dismantle the ball, trying to understand where he had gone wrong.
Look at the Ghost Queen again.
I don't know how the Queen understood it, but she rolled out a stick with her bare hands. It was very tough and looked very suitable for beating ghosts.
…
It’s not without effect.
At least it was done.
Master Xianyu learned from his mistakes and decided to study the book thoroughly before doing anything else!
Read and understand again and again.
Time passed quietly, Xu Zhilan's ball was successfully taken apart, and the Ghost Queen's stick became stronger and stronger with each rubbing.
He also started trying again.
Master Xian Yu was concentrating and focusing, like a madman, not knowing what the world was, and only caring about the spirit gathering grass in his hand.
I finally succeeded in making a twisted and weird straw carpet with holes of different sizes. Victory is just around the corner!
Then I felt something pulling at my sleeve.
Master Xianyu pulled.
That thing is pulling again.
This went on over and over again many times, and he really couldn't bear it anymore.
Looked up and glared!
His eyes widened even further, so much so that they seemed about to fall out of their sockets.
There was a green boat next to the Ghost Queen.
That boat.
The shape and size are exactly the same as the Jieyin Boat! It can be said to be a true reproduction!
Master Xianyu opened and closed his mouth again and again.
Words cannot describe this side of my heart, I can only give a thumbs up to the Ghost Queen.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "My Lady, you are truly amazing! In this world, there is no one more amazing than you who can use grass to restore the welcoming boat! This boat is so wonderful..."
After saying that, Shi Xianyu quickly woke up Xu Zhilan who was immersed in playing ball, and poked him with his arm, signaling him to praise quickly.
There is no such thing as the Queen of Ghosts.
He is simply their destined benefactor and living Buddha!
Xu Zhilan was also surprised when he saw Lu Zhou, and when he saw Xiaoyu praising him non-stop, he responded, "Your Majesty is truly amazing, I admire you!"
Empress Taining lowered her head slightly due to the praise.
It hasn't figured out what to say yet.
A large piece of grass with a different smell was stuffed in my arms.
He looked up blankly and said solemnly to his master Xianyu, "My queen, I leave everything to you."
The queen hasn't nodded yet.
He was forced to sit down, and the two people on his left and right looked at him expectantly.
It lowered its head and weaved quietly.
Three hours later.
The Ghost Queen followed Master Xianyu's instructions and made a spirit-gathering grass boat, the bottom of which was three times smaller than that of the welcoming boat.
At first glance, it looks a bit strange.
But this is a special design made in anticipation that the Soul Gathering Grass will swell when it comes into contact with the Yellow Spring Water.
In addition, three vests, a swaddling cloth, and oars were made.
Don't ask how you can do so much.
The answer is that the Ghost Queen has superb skills and the more she does it, the less waste she saves.
Since the Ghost Queen had put in a lot of effort, Master Xianyu and Xu Zhilan both agreed to take the Queen to the source of the Yellow Springs.
Let’s see if we can cure the Empress’ slow reaction problem.
After all, people in the ghost world say that the source of the Yellow Spring can cure all diseases.
Master Xianyu is not a reckless person.
He had no intention of testing the boat's stability himself.
Instead, he went to catch an evil ghost.
He was beaten until he was half breath away.
So he put the boat made of soul-gathering grass into the underworld.
As soon as the strange-looking bottom of the boat touched the water, it quickly became transparent and then grew larger.
I don’t know why.
Surprisingly, it turned into the perfect size of a welcoming boat.
The color of the boat gradually faded.
Only a little green is left gathered in the uppermost circle.
Xu Zhilan no longer hesitated and threw the ghost onto the boat.
After a cup of tea.
The ghost did not die, nor did it turn into water.
Seeing this, Xu Zhilan handed the child wrapped in green swaddling clothes to Shi Xianyu, and took the oars to get on the boat first.
Observed it for a while.
After making sure that the boat was floating and could accommodate the weight of a person and a ghost, he threw the ghost into the underworld and signaled Master Xianyu and Empress Taining to come up.
The two men and one ghost wearing soul-gathering grass vests moved quickly. Considering the various legends about the source of the Yellow Springs in the ghost world, they also wore black robes specially made in the cultivation world to prevent prying eyes.
Depart immediately after boarding the ship.
Go upstream!
No matter what is floating in the Yellow Springs, it is very eye-catching.
What’s more! The thing floating there is not the welcoming boat!
Not long.
There were dense crowds of ghosts and cultivators gathered on both sides of the Yellow Springs. Not to mention the Ghost King, several powerful monsters from the world of cultivation had also come.
His movements were extremely fast, as if he was staring at the underworld every day.
Master Xianyu concentrated on holding the child and didn't pay attention to the monks and ghosts around him.
He only paid attention to the transparent boat he was sitting on.
It’s strange to say, but after the boat and oars came into contact with the Yellow Spring water, they became transparent, and it was impossible to tell what material they were made of, and there was no smell at all.
Today's soul-gathering grass is no different from the water of the underworld.
Many ghosts around launched attacks, trying to knock down the three black robes that were floating strangely against the current in the Yellow Spring.
However, these attacks were blocked by the black-robed man standing in the front.
I could vaguely make out that the other party seemed to be holding something, as if paddling, but I couldn't see what it was. Looking around, there was nothing.
So weird!
Shi Xianyu and Xu Zhilan were used to being watched, so the grand occasion on both sides of the strait was nothing new to them.
The Queen Ghost King only loves to be in a daze.
It didn't quite understand what was being said, and as long as it couldn't attack it, it didn't realize what was happening.
Therefore, no matter what anyone on both sides of the Taiwan Strait said, did, or used.
They were unmoved.
I don’t know how long it lasted like this.
Day after day.
The boat went upstream, passing through one patch of dark fog after another, and the ghostly figures on both sides of the river gradually disappeared.
To be more precise, it should be said that both sides of the river were shrouded in dark fog.
Even the way behind him came from could no longer be seen, leaving only the dark fog and ghostly aura that was so thick that it was invisible.
At this time.
The oars made of soul-gathering grass could no longer be rowed.
No matter what they did, the boat remained motionless.
The Yellow Spring water is not as turbulent as before.
It was calm and peaceful, like a mirror covered in mist.
After a moment's thought, Xu Zhilan decided to use merit to propel the boat.
The effect is not very obvious.
But it is indeed moving forward.
There is only one way to the underworld, and they have to keep moving forward.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The fog gradually dissipated on one side, revealing half of the pier.
There was a huge stone tablet with the word "reincarnation" engraved on it.
at the same time.
Three jade tablets popped out from the stone tablet and landed in front of the two men and the ghost respectively.
Even if you don't touch it, you can still feel the message from the jade token.
Generally speaking, those who passed the test were qualified to hold the jade token to enter reincarnation and retain some of their memories.
Reincarnation is not limited to any of the three thousand realms, including the fairyland.
There's not even a time limit.
Past, present, future.
As long as you make a choice, you can re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Shi Xianyu glanced at the jade token, then looked at Xu Zhilan and Queen Ghost King.
Seeing that neither the man nor the ghost had any intention of taking the jade token, he continued to stare at the soul-gathering grass boat.
He cherishes his life and doesn't want to die.
Because of this, there is no intention to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Not to mention the unlimited time and space.
Only some memories can be carried...
So, is it still him?
When Shi Xianyu was a child, he was confused by his master's so-called philosophical thoughts and theories.
Although it is still not clear.
But what is absolutely certain is.
The soul, memories, emotions and feelings are all inseparable!
Without it, he would be incomplete!
Soon, Xu Zhilan avoided the three jade plates and continued to sail with merit.
The fog rose again.
Block all sight except the road ahead.
Another half day passed.
The fog gradually thinned on both sides.
I saw that the boat had entered the canyon. The stone walls were extremely smooth, and the color became lighter as we went further.
Until four small pieces of rubble fell down.
They stayed on two people, a ghost and a child respectively.
This is the Guanshi Wall.
You can observe the affairs of past lives, and holding broken stones and leaves can observe your own worldly affairs.
Master Xian Yu took a few more glances at the gravel on the swaddling clothes.
He was a little puzzled.
Why is Xiaoguai not qualified to reincarnate but qualified to observe the world?
Haven't figured anything out yet.
Then the Ghost Queen quickly grabbed the broken stone and jumped onto the stone wall.
"Empress!"
Master Xian Yu was shocked.
Before he could say anything else, Xu Zhilan stopped him.
“That’s its obsession.”
After Xu Zhilan finished speaking, he looked at the figure who had never turned back. After a moment of silence, he said, "This must be an opportunity."
Hearing this, Master Xianyu also fell silent.
The Queen Ghost King probably doesn't want to be idle and dazed, so this choice is normal.
"Let's go, this is not what we want."
Master Xianyu took the initiative to speak.
He wanted to discuss Xiaoguai with Xu Zhilan, but Huangquan was not a place where it was easy to talk.
So I held it in.
The two continued forward.
The Soul Gathering Ship passed by another city, a tower, a stone book, and...
one person.
It should be a person.
But it is not a person from this time and space, but a shadow.
She sat by the Yellow Spring with her head down, washing clothes and humming a ballad.
The clothes rippled as she rubbed them with her fingertips.
The water flow is getting stronger.
Gradually grow bigger.
The wave was so big that it suddenly hit the soul-gathering ship.
Master Xianyu was shocked.
Before he could do anything, there was not a drop of water on his body.
The huge waves have disappeared.
Only the sound of the ballad gradually faded away.
Everything is an illusion.
At this time, the spacious Yellow Spring was reduced to the size of a stream.
A cave appeared right in front of them, and the entrance of the cave was just big enough to accommodate a small boat.
Not even half a point bigger.
Shi Xianyu and Xu Zhilan looked at each other.
No hesitation.
Just drive the boat in.
The boat passed through the cave smoothly.
This is a small cave. There is a shallow beach about three or four meters away. From a distance, you can see a small pool of spring water gushing out beside the stone wall at the end of the cave.
The spring water overflowed, flowed in nine ways, and merged into the shallows.
Master Xianyu's eyes were bright.
If I'm right, this is it!
As he was thinking this, suddenly, his feet felt empty!
The boat actually melted!
Shi Xianyu only had time to lift Xiaoguai high up and then squeeze towards Xu Zhilan, who should have been able to save the child in time.
Totally hopeless.
The icy water rushed into his mouth and nose, and the feeling of suffocation overwhelmed him...
Then.
Xu Zhilan picked him up and swam him to the shore.
Master Xianyu is not dead.
But this makes him look even more stupid for waiting to die.
…
I don’t know what’s wrong with the water here, it’s completely different from the Yellow Spring.
It's just like water in the mortal world.
The soul-gathering grass vest on his body did not fade or swell.
No matter what, it's a good thing that you're not dead.
After Master Xianyu came ashore, he first checked Xiaoguai.
It was raised at the right time.
Xiaoguai’s swaddling clothes weren’t even wet.
He tried to use his spiritual power to dry his clothes, but then he found that he couldn't use his spiritual power.
Not surprising.
This is more proof that they have come to the right place.
The two of them didn't care too much.
Take Xiaoguai to the spring on the cliff.
Very small.
It is so small that it can only accommodate one person, and that person must not be too fat.
Master Xianyu just happened to discover a raised area beside the spring.
Did some research.
It's just the right size for Xiaoguai to put in and rest his head there.
It fits perfectly so that it won't sink or float around.
Shi Xianyu did what he thought of it. Before doing so, he asked Xu Zhilan for his opinion. After getting his consent, he soaked Xiaoguai in it.
The water is very cold.
There was a biting chill.
He thought the little baby made of vines would float, so he had to find a way to soak it completely.
Only after letting go did I realize that finding the right position to get stuck was the right decision.
Otherwise it will really sink.
Even if it's a container doll, soaking it like this is not a problem.
Shi Xianyu stared at the vine in Xiaoguai's hand again.
Make sure that vine is a little bit shorter.
Then I shuddered.
I realized belatedly that I was very cold, as if I was wrapped in ice!
"The water here is not right. Take off your clothes and dry them first..."
Xu Zhilan didn't finish his words.
I saw Xiaoyu find a place without water and quickly take off his clothes.
"Take them all off and just wrap them up."
Xu Zhilan handed over Xiaoguai's swaddling clothes that had not been touched by water and the soul-gathering grass blanket on the outside of the swaddling clothes.
After saying that, he turned around.
Master Xianyu is too cold.
He quickly took off his clothes without thinking too much. He wrung his hair with the wet clothes a few times and wrapped Xiaoguai in the swaddle.
I saw Xu Zhilan still wearing wet clothes.
He quickly said, "You should take off your clothes too. The water is really cold. Wrap yourself in the Soul Gathering Grass first. I'll give you some later..."
The more he spoke, the quieter Master Xianyu's voice became.
Being cold.
His teeth began to chatter.
Xu Zhilan sensed something was wrong and touched the hand that Shi Xianyu extended.
It felt like touching ice.
He first asked Shi Xianyu to sit down against the dry wall, quickly took off his clothes, and tied the straw blanket around his waist.
When I turned around again, I saw that Xiaoyu's cheeks were slightly red and she was shaking with her arms hugged.
Master Xianyu is really cold.
But he was not unconscious, and he just stared at Xu Zhilan's butt shaking in front of his eyes.
He looked away with difficulty and lowered his head again.
My mind was in a mess and I didn't have time to think when I suddenly felt a warm source approaching.
The body moves one step faster than the brain.
Wait for Master Xianyu to react.
He had already thrown himself into Xu Zhilan's arms and held him tightly.
…
Not to mention anything else.
Xu Zhilan is really warm.
It felt like there was a fire burning inside the other person's body, it was so hot, and just hugging each other like this was very comfortable.
Between freezing to death and being shameless, Shi Xianyu chose shamelessness.
It's human nature.
They hugged each other in silence for a long time.
Although Shi Xianyu was still cold, he didn't feel as deadly as before.
He pulled up a corner of the swaddling clothes.
He said to Xu Zhilan, who was spreading his hair with his fingers, "The Soul Gathering Grass doesn't keep you warm, why don't you wrap yourself in some too? Xiaoguai, this swaddling cloth is quite long."
"No, I'm not cold."
Xu Zhilan paused after speaking, then added: "I still feel a little hot."
"hot?"
Master Xianyu was afraid that Xu Zhilan was burning.
This cave is weird, the water is weird too, anything can happen.
He raised his hand and touched Xu Zhilan's forehead.
It’s hot, but I have to say how hot it is.
He couldn't feel it.
Shi Xianyu had no choice but to ask: "Are you cold? Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you have a headache, dizziness, or palpitations? Where are you hot? Is your whole body hot..."
As he spoke, he reached out to touch other parts of Xu Zhilan's body.
Touch the face, then the hands, then the neck or something like that.
Xu Zhilan grabbed the hand of the little fish as it swam around.
Seeing that the other party was still talking.
He bent down and kissed the mouth that was speaking.
Slightly cool and soft.
Xiaoyu stopped talking too.
Shi Xianyu was not silent at all, he was simply dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Why did you kiss him suddenly?
Still the mouth!
Is this correct?
Something is wrong! Something is so wrong!
Xu Zhilan stepped back a little.
Seeing Xiaoyu's eyes wide open, he added, "Can I kiss you?"
…
It was difficult for Master Xianyu to respond.
Didn't they kiss already?
Why did she ask him again? Did she want to kiss him again? Or perhaps even more deeply?
Xu Zhilan belatedly realized his own recklessness from Master Xianyu's wonderful expression.
He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I offended you."
That's what I said.
Xu Zhilan still maintained the posture of half-hugging Shi Xianyu and holding the other's wrist.
I waited for a long time but there was no answer from Master Xianyu.
He then asked, "Xiaoyu, are you willing to be my Taoist companion?"
