"Young Master, don't be afraid."
Xiangsi saw Ye Qing's complexion changing from blue to white, twirling the peach blossoms in his hands, and smiled tenderly. He was more delicate than flowers: "I can help you get out of here."
Hearing Xiangsi's words, Ye Qing was not very excited, but slowly calmed down: "Miss Xiangsi must be asking for something, right?"
"Young Master is smart, I admire you." Xiang Si smiled sweetly: "Yes, I invited you here because I really have something to ask for."
"Please sir, please save the lives of my sisters?"
Xiangsi Fu squatted half down and begged.
"Miss Xiangsi, please get up." Ye Qing stretched out his hand to help: "Girl, you might as well tell me what's going on first. If I can help, I won't refuse."
The key is, you can't refuse.
"Young Master Renyi, I would like to thank you on behalf of my sisters." Xiangsi bowed and said, "Sir, does he know the origin of this corpse ship?"
Ye Qing shook his head. He really didn't know this. Maybe not many people in Jing'an Division knew about it.
Xiangsi turned sideways and looked into the distance, with a look of reminiscence and sadness on her face: "This corpse boat is originally called Xiangsi Fang. The name Xiangsi is taken from the name of Xiangsi, which means the most lovesickness. I am the owner of Xiangsi Fang. .”
"The Acacia Boat was originally a singing and dancing boat. It was famous for its music, dance and singing, and traveled all over the world. Forty years ago, we encountered a terrible thing during a performance."
"When we were going to Jinxiu Mansion, we passed through Jinchuan and met a corpse on the river. I was a homeless person who traveled around. I didn't want to see someone's corpse exposed in the wilderness to be eaten by fish and shrimps and die. Since there was no complete body, I ordered people to fish it out and prepare to bury it in a suitable place after it was brought ashore. It was also a good deed."
"I didn't expect that my actions would bring disaster to all the sisters on the ship."
At this point, Xiangsi's face showed a look of fear and regret: "After the body was fished out on the boat, a mist floated from the body and enveloped the entire boat."
"No matter which direction we drove or whatever method we used, we could not leave the scope of the fog or find the dock. And every night, when the fog enveloped the entire boat, some sisters would disappear."
"I travel everywhere, so I naturally have a skill at my side, so I can place restrictions in each room. With the protection of the restrictions, the fog cannot enter, so we can escape the disaster."
"In the beginning, the fog only filled and enveloped the boat once in more than half a month or ten days. But gradually, the intervals between the fog and the fog increased more and more, from half a month to several days, and from several days to one day. From one day to several hours, time is getting shorter and shorter.”
"In addition, the boat cannot leave the fog, there is no food supply, and the food stored on the boat is getting less and less. Hunger, fear, despair, etc. are spreading on the boat. Some people cannot bear the despair and commit suicide; some become cruel and ruthless, looting When there was nothing more to grab, they would feed on human flesh; some would rush directly into the mist... Even those who survived, affected by the mist, gradually lost their minds and humanity, and became deformed and weird. s things."
Xiangsi paused for a moment, the peach blossoms in her hands slowly withered and withered, and she said sadly: "In desperation, I can only seal them and lock them in the room. Young Master, the weird one you met in the first room on the second floor, She is my former maid."
Ye Qing hurriedly held up his hands and apologized: "I didn't know that was your maid. I was reckless earlier and caused her to fall into the mist. Do you want me to forgive you?"
"Young master, there is no need to apologize." Xiangsi said sadly, "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to let them live like this."
"Maybe death is a good thing."
"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Xiangsi." Ye Qing hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Then I don't know why, Miss, you still keep it."
Conscious? "
Xiangsi smiled sadly: "After long-term observation, I found that the mist only reacted to living creatures with vitality. When I once traveled around the world, in order to protect myself, I learned a skill called soul transfer. The secret method of this technique is to give up the physical body and store the soul in an object. Of course, the object must be closely tied to the self, otherwise the soul is likely to be lost."
"Therefore, in order to protect themselves, I and my sisters had no choice but to abandon their physical bodies and take the risk of placing their souls and consciousness on an object. This painting is the object on which the little girl has placed her trust."
Ye Qing thought for a moment, then took out the pipa and bronze mirror from the Nine Heavens: "These two items should also be the items entrusted to the two girls."
As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, two figures appeared on the pipa and the bronze mirror.
The woman who appears on the pipa is the same pipa girl who was in the lobby before; the woman on the bronze mirror has a pure appearance, cool and aloof.
"I am Thrush, and I have met the young master." Pipa Girl Fu Shen said.
"I'm absolutely gorgeous," said the woman on the bronze mirror.
Xiangsi said softly: "What Huamei and Jueyan did before was just to test the young master's strength and see if they could help us. This was also my idea. After offending the young master, how can I hope that the young master will respect you?" "
Huamei and Jueyan also slightly blessed themselves to express their apology.
"The three girls are too polite. I don't dare to take it seriously." Ye Qing returned the favor and said, "It would be an honor for me to help the three girls."
"I wonder what the three girls want me to do?"
Xiangsi didn't hide anything and said straightforwardly: "I want you to help us solve the fog."
Ye Qing touched his nose with a wry smile on his face. Instead of asking him to help, it was better to ask him to die.
Although he had known that it would not be easy for Xiangsi and others to ask him to help, but it was too difficult. What was the difference between sending someone to death?
Ye Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Three girls are asking for help, and I will do my best. However, with the strength of the three girls, they are still unable to deal with those fogs. How can I solve those fogs?"
No matter Huamei or Jueyan, either one of them could probably kill him with just a few clicks of their fingers, but neither of them could do it, let him go, what's this?
"Master, don't be impatient, please listen to me slowly."
Xiangsi explained: "To be honest, the three of us sisters were just ordinary people who knew a little bit about secret arts during our lives. We were not even in the realm of pulse extension, and it was even more difficult for us to reach the master. The reason why we have the strength we have now is because of those people. Because of the fog.”
"The three of us sisters were able to survive because we gave up our bodies, but this technique of soul-carrying has its drawbacks. After giving up our bodies, we will never be able to leave this boat, especially these three soul-carrying objects. , the further away from the range of the soul-residing thing, the weaker the strength becomes."
"At the beginning, we couldn't even leave our room, but slowly, under the control of those mist, Xiangsi Fang began to swim around, shuttle around, devouring others, and our sisters also took advantage of it, and gradually became stronger. When you get up, you can start to influence the boat, which is why the young master can board the Acacia Boat."
After a pause, Xiangsi continued: "However, although we can affect the boat, we can never solve the fog. If we cannot solve the fog, we will never be truly liberated and free."
"Where did that mist come from?" Ye Qing asked, suddenly thinking of the story Xiangsi told before, and said, "But that corpse you fished out?"
"Young master is smart, that's right." Xiangsi nodded: "That corpse is the source of the fog."
"So, as long as we get rid of that corpse, everything will be over?" Ye Qing said.
"Having said that..." Xiangsi said: "But this is also numb.
The trouble may be that it has the same origin as the fog. Once we forcefully enter the fog, we will instantly lose our way. If we stay for a long time, we will even lose consciousness and completely assimilate with the fog, so even if we know the corpse It was placed at the bottom of the cabin, but it couldn't be found, so naturally it couldn't be solved. "
"In addition, I suspect that the corpse still has some instinctive consciousness and deliberately avoids our sisters. Of course, this also shows that the corpse is afraid of our sisters. Therefore, if we can find the corpse, we Sisters will be liberated forever."
Ye Qing touched his nose and thought thoughtfully. There was a piece of information in the Jing'an Division's files about the corpse ship, which was that whenever the Jing'an Division sent strong men into the fog, they could never find the corpse ship. This can be corroborated by this. Lovesick words.
"Girl, do you want me to help you find the body?" Ye Qing asked.
"That's right." Huamei continued: "According to our observations, warriors like Young Master have a certain resistance to the fog. They will not be affected by the fog in a short period of time. If they get lost in the fog, they can find the body. .”
"Young Master can put the souls of my three sisters in strange objects such as mountains and river shells, which can isolate our breath. After finding the body, Young Master can release us, and then we will deal with the body. Young Master No hands required.”
"When the corpse is taken care of, the three of us sisters will be grateful, and the young master can leave safely."
Ye Qing was silent for a moment and smiled: "It shouldn't be that simple, right?"
If it were that simple, with the methods of Xiangsi and the other three, there would still be a few warriors with two legs nowhere to be found, so the problem would probably have been solved long ago.
"Nature is not simple." Xiangsi did not hide it: "I said before that the corpse at the bottom of the boat still retains a certain degree of instinct and consciousness, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Once a stronger person enters, the corpse will behave differently. Sensing, escape immediately. Therefore, only those who are not too powerful will enter the mist and will not cause the induction of corpses."
"But once these people enter the fog, they will be immediately swallowed and assimilated by the fog, becoming puppets of the fog. Only young talents like Young Master will not cause the induction of corpses and can resist the erosion of the fog. Therefore, we sisters can I will invite the young master to come over.”
"Is this an invitation? It's more like force." Ye Qing muttered in his heart.
Naturally, Xiangsi didn't know what Ye Qing was thinking, and continued: "However, even if it doesn't cause any reaction to the corpse, it is extremely difficult to get close to that corpse."
"First of all, there is a thick fog surrounding the corpse. The fog is full of puppets and monsters controlled by the corpse, which is full of dangers. Not only that, the fog itself is full of weird abilities such as filth, corrosion, and death. If People with unstable spirits, weak minds, and weak bodies are very susceptible to being polluted by the fog. At the least, their minds are damaged and they go crazy. At worst, their consciousness is annihilated and they become puppets. The closer to the corpse, the thicker the fog becomes. , the more serious the pollution.”
"Secondly, fog has strong hallucinogenic and confusing abilities. What you see may not be real. For example, you thought you found the body, but in fact it may be just an illusion, so you can't help but need to A strong spirit, willpower, keen judgment, and the ability to break through illusions are also required.”
"In the end, we can't provide any help until we find the body. Once we leak any breath, we will alert the body and we will all be in danger. So, we only have one chance."
"All of this is something that only one person can do. The young master is very powerful and extremely talented. He can easily pass the test of Huamei and Jueyan. He will definitely help our sisters escape from the sea of suffering."
