Soul Ferry: My master is Uncle Jiu

Chapter 336 The Missing Zhao Li

Snow-capped mountains on the border.

An Yan's figure suddenly appeared outside the boundary marker.

As soon as he appeared, the originally clear sky immediately changed, dark clouds began to gather, and strong winds blew up.

Such a scene scared An Yan so much. Damn it, God is so stingy, he is still thinking about him.

He did not dare to hesitate and immediately jumped into the boundary marker.

God:"."

If he runs a step slower, he will be slapped in the face.

As An Yan entered the territory of China, the gathering dark clouds began to dissipate, the strong wind stopped howling, and the sun came out again.

Seeing this scene, An Yan shrank his head and walked away, deciding not to tease the other person for the time being.

Before leaving, he turned his head and took a deep look outside the boundary marker.

Soon!

I'll have some fun with you then!

Then he disappeared from the spot, leaving only two deep footprints to prove his presence.

After leaving the Great Snow Mountain, An Yan returned to Youdu.

As soon as he landed, he took out his turned-off cell phone and turned it back on.

As soon as I turned on my phone, I saw several missed calls and unanswered messages just one night later.

An Yan was a little confused as to who was looking for him. Could it be Feicui?
But he remembered that he had sent a message to Feicui when he left the convenience store, saying that he would not go back that night because he had something to go out for, so he went to the Snow Mountain.

When I opened it, I found that they were all calls and messages from Dongqing.

An Yan immediately understood that it must be because of the matter between Wang Xiaoya and Zhao Li.

I guess Dongqing is questioning his life at this moment.

He smiled, put away his phone and went straight back to the rental house to see what Dongqing was doing.

In the rental house, Xia Dongqing sat on the sofa in a daze. He could no longer tell what was real and what was fake.

Wang Xiaoya, who was afraid of ghosts, was actually lying to him, and Zhao Li was also lying to him, saying that his eyes were given to him by his sister.

Where is An Yan?
An Yan is a Taoist priest. Has he known all this for a long time?
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get through to An Yan’s phone and no one replied to my messages. I guess he was busy with other things.

Wang Xiaoya and Zhao Li came to see him last night, but he didn't open the door. Now thinking about it, he felt a little regretful. Should he have listened to their explanation?

What if I misunderstood?

Just then, the sound of a key unlocking the door came, and Xia Dongqing looked towards the door.

An Yan pushed the door and walked in.

"Dongqing, what's the matter that's so urgent for you to talk to me about? I was on a business trip last night and my phone was turned off. I just turned it on and saw your call and message."

Xia Dongqing stood up excitedly and hesitated for a while, but finally asked: "An Yan, do you know that Wang Xiaoya is the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens?"

"Wang Xiaoya is the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens? You know!" An Yan nodded, patted Dong Qing's shoulder with a wicked smile, "What does it feel like to be in love with the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens? Isn't it exciting!"

Xia Dongqing, who was originally a little angry, was immediately made to laugh and cry by An Yan's words. He sat on the sofa depressed and said, "Is this the point? You knew she was lying to me, why didn't you tell me?"

"Come on, she is the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens. I didn't know it at first."

This was An Yan's true words. If he didn't know the plot, how could he have seen through the disguise of Lady of the Nine Heavens based on his previous cultivation level?

He sat down next to Dong Qing and continued, "When I found out later, you were already having a hot relationship with him. I thought you wanted to be a modern gigolo, so I didn't tell you."

"What? Did you break up with her? She didn't come to see you last night?"

"I'm not a modern-day cowherd. People who don't know me would think I'm selling myself." Although his story with Wang Xiaoya is very similar to the legendary Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Xia Dongqing, who has been baptized by modern knowledge, really cannot accept the term "modern-day cowherd."

After a pause, he hesitated again and said, "She and Zhao Li came last night, but I didn't open the door."

"It's normal to not be able to accept it for a while. After all, the person you like suddenly turns into a god." An Yan thought of the relationship between Wang Xiaoya and Dong Qing, and shook his head secretly. He should better not meddle in other people's business.

"Then what are your plans now?"

After a few words, Xia Dongqing drooped his head like a wilted grass.

Now he doesn’t know how to face Wang Xiaoya. To be honest, it’s too unreal to be in love with a god.

After thinking it over, he decided to express his current thoughts.

"I have passed the postgraduate entrance examination and will be reporting to school soon. I should calm down for a while."

"After going to school, I may have to quit my night shift job at the convenience store and plan to live in the dormitory."

"That's good. Give yourself some time to adapt." An Yan was not surprised to hear that Dong Qing was going to resign and move away. If he went to school, he would have to attend classes during the day, and if he worked the night shift, he would not have enough time.

"What about you? Move in with your girlfriend?" Xia Dongqing knew that An Yan had a girlfriend and had met her, so she asked.

Move in with Jade?

An Yan thought about it and shook his head. "I don't have such an idea for now. Besides, the altar of the ancestors has been set up. Even if we want to move it, we have to find an auspicious day to move it."

"Does it have to be so troublesome?"

When Xia Dongqing learned that even moving house required choosing a date, he didn't know what to say.

"You won't understand even if I tell you, so I won't explain. Let's go out for dinner. I'm almost thirsty."

Looking at An Yan who was already walking out, Xia Dongqing rolled his eyes and said, "How can I understand if you don't tell me?"

The next day, Xia Dongqing moved out.

After Dongqing moved out, An Yan did not continue to use the boundary-breaking beads to travel to the new world, but instead lived a regular life with a recurring routine.

In order to prepare for the Taoist Conference that his ancestor had mentioned, he first went to Uncle Jiu's world to visit his master Uncle Jiu, and at the same time borrowed Taoist scriptures from the Maoshan Sect's collection to make up for his lessons.

In his spare time, he would go to accompany Feicui to pay his dues, and also take a detour to satisfy Yang Yuhuan.

Otherwise, just practice hard and improve your strength.

Wang Xiaoya was nowhere to be seen either. Zhao Li said that she must have gone back to Kunlun to report on her work.

Zhao Li seemed to be busy with something.

Just like this, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was almost Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Jade, where do you want to go for the Mid-Autumn Festival? I'll take you there."

In the Jadeite room, An Yan was lying on the big pink bed, glancing sideways at Jadeite who was sitting cross-legged and working.

Feicui was sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding a tablet in one hand and swiping the screen quickly with the other. There was a plate of washed grapes next to her, and you could see that the pictures on the screen were pictures.

The content of the pictures is quite chilling, as they are corpses with different appearances of death. Judging from the dates, the pictures must have been taken recently.

After hearing An Yan's words, Feicui lost her temper. She put down the tablet, leaned over, and laid her head on An Yan's soft belly. She said in a muffled voice, "How can I have the mood to play now? There have been so many murders recently."

"Go to the police for murder cases. What are you worried about?"

An Yan raised his hand and ruffled Feicui's hair, messing up the hair that had been combed with great difficulty. Moreover, their current posture was also very dangerous. If they went down a little further,
Under normal circumstances, Feicui would definitely pounce on him with bared fangs and claws when she saw her carefully cared-for hair being messed up, but she was not in the mood for that now.

"Originally it was none of my business, but the victim's family came to me and asked me to find the murderer."

"One million commission fee! I'm one step closer to buying you a villa!"

Feicui, with her messy hair, looked up at An Yan pitifully.

Hearing Feicui's ambition, An Yan didn't know whether to laugh openly or secretly, and said helplessly: "Your man has plenty of money, why are you working so hard?"

"Hehe, wouldn't that make me seem useless? I want to prove that I, Feicui, am not a gigolo!" Feicui didn't know if she had seen too many female bosses, so she acted like she wanted to be a strong woman.

An Yan curled his lips. Although he felt that this was unnecessary, he did not want to discourage Feicui's enthusiasm. It was better than watching those Korean Oppas at home every day.

"Since you don't want to be a freeloader, then I'll eat it."

"Rich woman, rice rice."

Seeing An Yan opening his mouth and pointing with his finger, Feicui couldn't help laughing at his funny look.

"oops!"

"I'm analyzing the clues, don't make me laugh."

After laughing, Feicui sat up straight, pulled up An Yan who was lying dead, and handed the tablet to him.

An Yan took the tablet and looked at Feicui in confusion, "What for? I don't know how to investigate a case."

"As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Put your heads together and you will have more wisdom."

Isn't this an insult? An Yan's face twitched.

Seeing this, Feicui kissed An Yan on the face and said, "Is this okay?"

"That's pretty much it."

After receiving the reward, An Yan decided to show his magnanimity as a man and looked down at the information on the tablet.

After seeing An Yan take action, Feicui felt relieved. In her eyes, as long as An Yan took action, nothing was impossible.

She took the fruit plate next to her, picked up a fruit and stuffed it into An Yan's mouth, then picked up another and stuffed it into her own mouth. While eating, she said, "These are all the information I collected from the Internet. You won't know until you see it. Once you see it, you will be shocked."

"In just one month, there were ten murders in the city, although the deaths of these people were different and seemed unrelated."

"But if you look closely, you can see that these people died because their vital energy was sucked out."

"I suspect there is a demon at work!"

An Yan took a closer look and found that it was just as Feicui had said. The wounds on these people seemed serious, but none of them were fatal. Moreover, their lips were dry and their eyes were sunken. It was obvious that something had sucked their energy and caused them to die of exhaustion.

It can be seen that this thing, whether it is a ghost or a demon, is very cautious and has disguised the entire scene to look like a murder scene.

"Since these people died in vain recently, the underworld should have records. I'll ask Zhao Li about it."

Feicui nodded. She knew that Zhao Li was the soul ferryman. It was a pity that Sister Yuhuan was not in charge of this area, otherwise she would have gone directly to Sister Yuhuan.

However, Zhao Li’s phone call could not be reached at all.

An Yan raised his eyebrows.

Jade saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The phone call is not going through. Maybe something happened."

Until the call was automatically hung up, and the call was not connected. Just when An Yan was wondering why Zhao Li was washing his feet, a call came in.

The caller ID is Wang Xiaoya.

It was not until An Yan got a call from Wang Xiaoya that he learned that Zhao Li was missing.

At this point in time, An Yan seemed to have thought of something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, I see."

Feicui noticed something was wrong with An Yan and asked, "What happened? Did something happen to your friend?"

An Yan nodded, then looked at Feicui and said, "Let me take care of this. I'll go there tomorrow."

Knowing that something was wrong, Feicui did not try to attract attention but nodded obediently.

The next day.

Moon Festival.

It is said that people miss their families more during the holidays, but for Xia Dongqing, his originally chaotic life seems to have returned to normal, with him going back and forth between studying and working in the dormitory.

The bizarre life before was like a dream, a dream that one did not want to wake up from.

But soon, his peaceful and boring life was disrupted by a phone call.

"You want to come see me? I'm working in a cafe now."

"What's the address?"

"No. 137 Jiefang Road, Happiness Cafe."

In the Happy Coffee Shop near the university town, Xia Dongqing looked at the hung up phone with a little more joy in his expression.

He originally wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, but he didn't expect An Yan to come to see him.

He couldn't help but recall the scene of everyone having fun together during the New Year, and he smiled subconsciously.

"Wow! He can actually laugh!"

In fact, Xia Dongqing is not ugly. He is the type that is pleasing to the eye. When he smiles, he gives people a refreshing feeling of a boy next door.

So many girls from the same school like him. Just now, two girls from the same school heard that he was working part-time here, so they came here specially.

Drinking coffee is fake, wanting to meet by chance is real.

However, due to the special nature of Xia Dongqing's eyes, even if he tried his best to conceal it, the news about his eyes spread throughout the school.

Some people find it scary, some people find it cool, and some people find it curious.
These two girls were the type who were curious about Xia Dongqing and thought he was cool. They looked at him secretly and whispered about the legend about his eyes.

The two of them didn't notice that next to them, there was a cute girl sitting, slowly stirring the coffee in front of her.

When she heard the two people mention words like eyes and ghosts, she paused in stirring the food in her hands and glanced sideways at Xia Dongqing who was standing at the counter.

When she saw Xia Dongqing's pair of dark eyes, she couldn't help but flash a trace of greed in her eyes, and subconsciously licked her pink lips.

This kind of high-quality prey is really rare!
"Welcome! Is that you?"

Suddenly, a voice full of surprise and joy was heard, and then a very handsome man sat down opposite her and held her hand excitedly.

The banshee was a little dazed, looking at the handsome guy in front of her with a bewildered look.

No, handsome guy, who are you? Do I know you?

"Excuse me, who are you? Do I know you?"

The banshee wanted to pull her hand away, but was surprised to find that the man in front of her was incredibly strong and she couldn't break free.

She wanted to use force, but it was broad daylight and in public, and it would be troublesome if her identity was exposed.

So she had no choice but to let the other person grab her hand and asked in confusion.

At the same time, the man in front of her was also on her must-eat list.

It would be a bit boring to eat such a handsome man in one go.
"Aren't you playing the welcome role of Armor Hero?" the man seemed confused when he heard it and asked.

The female demon who had never watched a special effects drama said she didn't understand and shook her head instinctively, "You got the wrong person, I have never filmed a TV series."

"Ah!" The man showed embarrassment and quickly let go of her hand. Then he stood up and left while apologizing, "Sorry! Sorry! I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

The men around understood what was going on immediately after seeing the beauty of the witch. They stamped their feet and beat their chests in secret, wondering why they hadn't thought of this trick.
Armor Hero, and they are familiar with it too!
Xia Dongqing, who witnessed all this, saw the man walking towards him with a smug smile, and immediately scolded him with a smile: "An Yan, you are really something."

"Young man, you need to be bold and decisive when picking up girls. Did you learn that?"

That person was An Yan.

Xia Dongqing nodded and said, "I've wasted my time."

To use this trick, there is a prerequisite, that is, he has to be handsome. If he were to do that, people might directly shout "molest" and call the police.

An Yan did not tell Xia Dongqing about the witch immediately, so as not to alert her. He waited for her to fall into his trap tonight.

He didn't say anything more about the witch, and asked, "How long will it take for get off work to end? Come to think of it, I haven't been to your school yet."

"It will take a while. I'll make you a cup of coffee."

Xia Dongqing could still afford a cup of coffee, he said with a smile.

"Row."

When the banshee saw that the two people actually knew each other, she was even more delighted, thinking that she might be able to enjoy a feast tonight.

She didn't drink any more coffee as she wanted to save space for the big meal, so she stood up, paid the bill and left.

About half an hour after the banshee left, Xia Dongqing finally got off work.

Seeing An Yan alone and not spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with his girlfriend, Xia Dongqing asked: "An Yan, how come you have time to come to me during the Mid-Autumn Festival? You are still flirting with girls. Aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will find out?"

"What do you mean by flirting? I'm just working." An Yan said confidently. He was indeed not flirting with girls.

If Xia Dongqing hadn't seen An Yan's big hand rubbing the girl's hand just now, he would have almost believed it.

"Do you think I will believe it?"

Seeing Xia Dongqing's unbelieving look, An Yan grinned and said, "I really didn't flirt with the girl, because she is not a human being at all. Don't forget what kind of job I do."

After hearing these words, Xia Dongqing staggered in fear.

He had no doubt about the truthfulness of An Yan's words because there was no need to lie to him.

Xia Dongqing reacted and said, "So, you didn't come to see me just for fun, right?"

"Half of it is for the festival, and half for this witch."

"Besides, Zhao Li is missing."

An Yan told the news of Zhao Li's disappearance.

"What? Zhao Li is missing!"

"What happened to him? Where did he disappear? What's happening to him now?"

After hearing that his good friend was missing, Xia Dongqing finally forgave Zhao Li for lying to him and said anxiously.

"We don't know yet."

An Yan shook his head. At this moment, Zhao Li should have closed his five senses. He could not sense the other party's breath. In addition, he did not have any items used by Zhao Li, so he could not use Maoshan's paper crane method to find people.

That's why he came to find Dongqing specifically. He remembered that someone from a mental hospital would call Dongqing, and Zhao Li was in this mental hospital.

Moreover, he has also asked Feicui to help check whether there is a patient like Zhao Li in any mental hospital in the city.

Just waiting for the mental hospital to contact Dongqing would be too slow.

"What should we do now?" Xia Dongqing said at a loss.

"Calm down. I've asked Feicui and Xiaoya to look for him. We'll probably have news soon. Besides, Zhao Li won't die so easily." An Yan patted Xia Dongqing on the shoulder.

"For now, let's deal with the ghost in your dormitory."

After knowing that Xiaoya was also helping to look for it, his expression became a little complicated. Now he didn't know how to face Xiaoya.

Is she still Xiaoya?
Then, he heard the second half of An Yan's words, and quickly suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and asked with wide eyes: "An Yan, how did you know?"

"Isn't this simple? I can tell from the fact that you are often with that ghost, so you are contaminated with Yin energy. People with cultivation can see it at a glance."

The scene that An Yan saw was that there was a faint ghostly aura emanating from Xia Dongqing, but it was not very obvious under the suppression and purification of the sunlight.

At the same time, it also proves that this ghost has no ability and is pitifully weak.

Putting aside the ghost eyes, Dongqing is just an ordinary person.

If an ordinary person has no adverse reaction after long-term contact with a ghost, it can only mean that the ghost is either too strong or too weak.

Xia Dongqing suddenly realized, and then sighed: "That ghost can be regarded as my senior brother. He is not a bad ghost, but he has unfulfilled wishes and is reluctant to reincarnate."

"Sounds like a good ghost, let's go and see what's going on."

"It's not good for a living person like you to live with a ghost for a long time."

Anyan said.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Xia Dongqing also knew this truth, so he rode his bicycle and took An Yan to school.

The university he attends is also a key university. The school covers a large area, so he usually has to ride a bicycle to go to and from get out of class, and of course to get off work as well.

It was about ten minutes' journey, and Xia Dongqing rode An Yan all the way to the graduate dormitory.

After getting off the car, Xia Dongqing took the mooncakes given by the coffee shop and walked into the dormitory building with An Yan.

After entering, he did not take An Yan to the dormitory immediately, but walked towards the dormitory aunt carrying the mooncake.

Knowing that the roommate in the dormitory was also lonely, he brought it specially for her.

In a room on the left side of the lobby on the first floor, a woman was weaving insoles. One could vaguely tell that she must have been very beautiful when she was young.

"Sister Qin, this is the mooncake our cafe gave away. I brought you one too."

An Yan, who was standing behind him, could tell at a glance that this dormitory manager was no ordinary person. Thinking of Dong Qing's roommate, he couldn't help but marvel at the thought.

Almost one-third of the characters in the second season are gathered in this small dormitory building. I have to say, sometimes fate is really amazing.
