Li Xiu was not surprised that the Dragon Vein Spirit was promoted to the Godly rank. What surprised Li Xiu was that it was not a Godly rank. However, after reading the information of the Dragon Vein Spirit, Li Xiu was still a little surprised because its quality was actually upgraded to the Aurora.

This was the third time that Li Xiu had seen the Aurora quality. The first time was himself, the second time was his bride-to-be, and the third time was this Dragon Vein Spirit.

However, this dragon vein spirit is even more bizarre. It has actually merged with the strange light fog dragon shadow, and its quality has been improved again, from brilliance to aurora.

The light of the dragon veins of heaven and earth is a light of truth that can draw on the power of the dragon veins of heaven and earth, which is similar to what Li Xiu had guessed before.

The black dragon refused to leave the Dead Sea because it wanted to draw on the power of the dragon veins in the Dead Sea. The endless light of truth was only able to reach that level because of the blessing of the power of the dragon veins in the sea.

However, Li Xiu has not yet figured out what the dragon vein of heaven and earth refers to and where it can be blessed. He only knows that such blessings can only be obtained in some special geographical locations.

For example, mountains, rivers, oceans, etc. Generally speaking, places with mountains and water can receive some blessings, it is just a matter of how much.

The Dead Sea obviously brings great blessing to the Black Dragon. If it were in another place, the Black Dragon might not be so ferocious.

"It's a pity that the black dragon left nothing after its death. The black body was just an empty shell like garbage. I don't know whether it was really dead or just pretending to be dead." Li Xiu was secretly depressed.

Of course he was very happy that the Dragon Vein Spirit was promoted to the status of a god, but his plan to obtain the divine gem failed again.

When he returned to the boat, only Xiaoyue was standing at the bow waiting for him. The president and the weirdo had disappeared, probably having gone back to the cabin.

"Young master is so powerful that he can kill such a terrifying demon as easily as taking something out of a bag..." Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiu with admiration, and her expression did not seem fake.

"Take me to the room to rest." Li Xiu saw that there was no wind or waves in the Dead Sea, and he didn't know when he would encounter the evil spirit again. He planned to recover the lost light energy and physical strength first so that he could continue the next battle.

I heard from the president that in order to reach the Sea of ​​Heaven, one must sail on the Dead Sea for at least half a month. He still hopes to use this time to impact the throne of God.

Xiaoyue took Li Xiu to the room to rest. The size of this three-sail ship was comparable to that of an aircraft carrier. There were two floors on the ship. In addition to the hall, there were many rooms. However, Li Xiu followed Xiaoyue all the way here, but he didn't see a single person. Even the girls who had been with Xiaoyue before were nowhere to be seen.

"Xiao Yue, is there no one else on this boat besides us?" Li Xiu asked behind Xiao Yue.

"No, apart from you, we are the only ones on this boat." Xiaoyue replied.

"Why don't I see your little sisters?" Li Xiu asked again.

"The rooms upstairs are for guests. We live downstairs." Xiaoyue brought Li Xiu to the door of a room, opened the door, stepped aside and said, "Young sir, this is your room. If you need anything, just call my name at any time."

"Who were the guests before us?" Li Xiu still wanted to know something about this big ship.

"The guests before you..." Xiaoyue tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It was the gentleman who came with you and another young gentleman."

Li Xiu's face changed slightly and he looked at Xiaoyue with a frown. Xiaoyue's answer made him feel very bad.

"Is the other young gentleman you mentioned called Guan Qingzhai?" Li Xiu stared at Xiaoyue and asked slowly. His eyes were like a knife, as if he could see through Xiaoyue's mind.

"It seems to be this name. The young gentleman doesn't like to talk and is a bit eccentric. I heard that gentleman call him Qingzhai." Xiaoyue said recallingly.

Li Xiu really couldn't see any signs of lying on Xiaoyue's face, but if what Xiaoyue said was true, it would be even more weird.

The president took Guan Qingzhai to Tianzhihai, that was sixty years ago. Xiaoyue was just a little girl, how could she have received Guan Qingzhai?

What is even more difficult to accept is that this big ship only receives guests when the president goes to the Sea of ​​Heaven? Where has this big ship been in the past sixty years? Where are the weirdo and Xiaoyue?

"Could this be a ghost ship? Are the weirdo and Xiaoyue all ghosts?" Li Xiu looked at Xiaoyue in front of him and found it hard to associate her with ghosts.

Xiaoyue is so lively and cute, full of curiosity about everything, and so kind and sincere. How could such a vibrant life be a ghost?

No matter how Li Xiu looked at it, Xiaoyue was a human being with flesh and blood, the temperature of a normal person, and the shadow of a human. She couldn't be a ghost.

"Young master, if you have no other instructions, I'll go down first." Xiaoyue turned and left, and soon disappeared at the end of the passage.

Li Xiu looked at the rooms on both sides of the corridor. All of them had their doors tightly closed. Relying only on his hearing and sensory abilities, he could not sense any signs of life or any movement.

Li Xiu did not go into his own room. Instead, he walked to the next room, grasped the door handle and tried to push it. The door did not move at all, so it must be locked.

It was useless to try again, so Li Xiu returned to his room, closed the door, and lay down on the bed to rest.

The layout of the room was very simple, with only a very beautiful bed. Li Xiu remembered that he seemed to have seen such a bed somewhere. This thing should not be considered a bed. It seemed to have another name in ancient times. He should have seen it on the computer before, but he didn't pay attention to what it was called.

He closed his eyes to rest, but before he fell asleep, he suddenly heard a rhythmic knock on the door. After two knocks, he waited for a while, and then two more knocks.

"Who?" Li Xiu still remembered what the president said, that while on this ship, no matter who knocks on the door, you must never open it.

"Knock knock..." There was no answer from outside the door, but the knock on the door sounded again.

"Who is it?" Li Xiu frowned and shouted.

"Knock knock..." There was no answer, but the rhythmic knocking sound continued, knock twice and pause, knock twice again and pause again.

Seeing that no one answered, Li Xiu simply ignored her, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

As if knowing that Li Xiu had no intention of opening the door, the knocking sound disappeared, which made Li Xiu a little curious.

"Why did the president say that the door cannot be opened if someone knocks? Could it be that this is really a ghost ship and the one knocking on the door is a ghost?" Li Xiu did not hear any footsteps of anyone leaving, and was very curious. He really wanted to open the door and see what was outside.

However, Li Xiu still suppressed the impulse in his heart, closed his eyes and rested, and fell asleep soon.

Li Xiu didn't dare to sleep any longer. He estimated that he slept for about six hours before he woke up and called out "Xiao Yue".

He originally thought that Xiaoyue should not be able to hear his voice, but not long after, he heard footsteps outside the door. After a while, the footsteps reached outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Xiaoyue walked in.

"Young sir, what can I do for you?" Xiaoyue asked respectfully.

"Have any evil spirits appeared outside?" Li Xiu asked.

"We encountered a few evil spirits, but they have all been sent away. Don't worry, young master. Ordinary evil spirits cannot get on the boat." Xiaoyue thought Li Xiu was worried about danger, so she hurriedly explained.

"Is it a demon spirit from the divine position?" Li Xiu didn't hear any sound, nor did he sense any fluctuations of the battle, and felt a little strange.

Although the ship is large, if there is a battle, with his current keen senses, he should not be completely unable to sense it.

"No." Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "Just some ordinary demons."

"Oh." Li Xiu nodded, looked at Xiaoyue and asked again: "Just before I went to bed, someone knocked on the door. Do you know who was knocking on the door?"

"Knock on the door? Why would someone knock on the door? There are no other guests on the ship except you and that gentleman. That gentleman is still in the cabin. Without your call, we can't come here. No one should come to knock on your door." Xiaoyue looked confused.

Li Xiu frowned secretly, but seeing Xiaoyue's expression, he knew that he would not get anything out of her, so he thought about it and said with a smile: "Xiaoyue, can you take me to see where you live?"

"This is not a good idea. You are a distinguished guest. How can you go to a place like ours..." Xiaoyue said hesitantly.

Seeing that Xiaoyue didn't refuse directly, Li Xiu smiled and said, "This ship will have to sail on the sea for at least half a month. It's really boring. You can take me for a walk."

"Okay, if you don't mind, young master, please come with me." Xiaoyue did not refuse and took Li Xiu out of the guest room.

The place where Xiaoyue and her friends lived had a different entrance than the other customers. After walking around the deck, Xiaoyue entered a door with a narrow staircase leading downwards, also made of wood.

The entire ship was made of wood. Li Xiu didn't even see a single nail. It seemed to be entirely made of mortise and tenon structures.

Going down the narrow stairs is a long passage. On the walls on both sides, there is a bead like a night pearl inlaid at regular intervals. There are no electric lights or even oil lamps in here. The dark passage is illuminated entirely by the faint light of these beads.

Fortunately, Li Xiu was not afraid of the darkness at all and had the ability to see in the dark, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.

The passage was very long, and after turning a corner, it was still a passage. If there was no door in the middle, Li Xiu would have doubted whether he was walking through the same passage.

After turning a few corners, Xiaoyue stopped in front of a door and said to Li Xiu a little embarrassedly: "Young man, this is where we live. Do you really want to go in?"

"Now that you're here, why not go in and take a look? Do you need to say hello to your sisters first?" Li Xiu thought for a moment and asked.

After all, these were places where little girls lived, and he was afraid of seeing some bad scenes.

"No need." Xiaoyue shook her head and reached out to push the door open.

As the wooden door creaked open slowly, Li Xiu looked over, feeling somewhat curious about what the place where these little girls lived looked like.

But when he saw the situation inside clearly, his face changed drastically.

Inside the door was a space larger than the previous hall, supported by wooden pillars. It was completely different from the dormitory Li Xiu had imagined, and it looked more like a warehouse.

The reason why Li Xiu's face changed drastically was naturally not because this place was very big, but because in this warehouse-like room, there were rows and rows of black lacquered wooden coffins, and there were probably thousands of coffins.

How could this be a little girl's boudoir? To call it a funeral cemetery would be an exaggeration. It is impossible for a funeral cemetery to accommodate so many coffins. Moreover, why would so many coffins be placed on a ship?

"You live here?" Li Xiu looked at Xiaoyue with a strange expression.

If Xiaoyue lives in such a place, is she a human or a ghost?

"Yeah... that's where I sleep..." Xiaoyue walked to a coffin very close to the gate. The lid of the coffin was slightly opened at an angle. Xiaoyue said embarrassedly, "This is the first time someone wants to see where we live. I'm really embarrassed."

Li Xiu walked to Xiaoyue with a strange look on his face and looked into the coffin. There was nothing inside.

"Can I see the other coffins?" Li Xiu looked at Xiaoyue and asked.

"If you want to see them, just call their names. They will come out by themselves. How dare I trouble you, young master?" Xiaoyue said.

"It's okay." Li Xiu said as he pushed the coffin next to him open. Inside the coffin, there was indeed a little girl lying. She looked about the same age as Xiaoyue. She was lying in the coffin with a rosy face, as if she was asleep. However, Li Xiu could not hear her breathing or sense her heartbeat.

Even though Li Xiu pushed open the coffin lid with such a loud noise, the little girl was not awakened and remained motionless inside.

Li Xiu just felt his scalp tingling. This situation made him wonder if he had broken into the lair of vampires.

"Xiaoxue, the young master is here to see you." Xiaoyue called softly to the little girl in the coffin.

The little girl, who had no breathing and no heartbeat, miraculously opened her eyes after Xiaoyue called her, and her breathing and heartbeat seemed to have resumed.

When the little girl saw Li Xiu and Xiao Yue, she immediately sat up, climbed out of the coffin, and saluted Li Xiu in a panic: "I didn't know you were here, so I'm sorry for being so rude. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, I'm sorry for disturbing you." Li Xiu glanced at the other coffins, but he didn't have the urge to open any more.

"Xiaoyue, are all your companions here?" Li Xiu asked again.

"Yes, everyone is here." Xiaoyue nodded.

Li Xiu didn't ask any more questions and let Xiaoyue take him away.

"What's going on with this ship? Are Xiaoyue and the others human or ghosts? Who is that strange guy?" Countless thoughts flashed through Li Xiu's mind, but he still couldn't get an answer.

Xiaoyue and Xiaoxue really look like real people. If Li Xiu had not appeared on this ship but had met them outside, he would never have had any doubts about their identities.

But this is so strange. They are clearly living people, but when they are in the coffins, they are no different from dead people.

"Xiaoyue said that the last guests she saw were the president and Guan Qingzhai. Could it be that they have been sleeping in that coffin for the past sixty years?" The more Li Xiu thought about it, the weirder it seemed. How could a human being sleep in a coffin for sixty years without eating or drinking?

Not to mention that ordinary people can't do it, even Li Xiu, who is now comparable to a god, can't go without food, water or sleep for sixty years. Let alone sixty years, six years or even six months is impossible.

Back on the deck, Li Xiu was still thinking about the sight of those coffins. On such a big ship, there were only weirdos and these children who were neither human nor ghost sleeping in coffins. What was the origin of this big ship?

Li Xiu walked towards the hall, but when he reached the door, he heard a strange voice coming from the bow: "My old friend drank a little too much and has gone to the guest room to rest. Are you interested in chatting with me, young man?"

Li Xiu remained expressionless and turned to walk towards the bow. As expected, he saw the strange man sitting on the railing of the bow, holding a wine jug in one hand and something in the other, drinking in the sea breeze.

"What should I address you, sir?" Li Xiu said as he approached the strange man.

"I have long forgotten my name. If you are happy, you can call me uncle. If you are not happy, you can also call me old man." The weirdo said sarcastically.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Li Xiu frowned.

He refused to even tell me his name, which shows he has no sincerity in chatting with me.

As if he saw through Li Xiu's thoughts, the strange man smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, young sir. It's not that I don't want to tell you my name, but I really have forgotten it."

Knowing that Li Xiu didn't believe it, the weirdo continued, "It's normal that you don't believe it, but if you were left alone, drifting alone on the sea for thousands of years, with no one to talk to you, no one to accompany you, and you could only look at the sea, you would also forget a lot of unimportant things."

"Aren't Xiaoyue and the others on this boat?" Li Xiu heard the flaw in the words and said directly.

"They... are not human..." Li Xiu never expected that this weirdo would say such words.

Although Li Xiu also felt that Xiaoyue and the others were not human, he would not say so in front of Xiaoyue. However, the weirdo said it so bluntly that Li Xiu felt it was a bit too cruel.

He turned around to look at Xiaoyue beside him, only to find that Xiaoyue's eyes seemed to be out of focus, completely unfocused. Like a walking corpse, she mechanically turned around and walked back the way she came.

"Young man, although I don't remember my name, I can tell you a story. After listening to this story, you should be able to know who I am." The weirdo took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth and said.

"What story?" Li Xiu asked the strange man.

"It's a story about a man going out to sea in search of immortality." The strange man said slowly while looking at the endless sea.
