my roommate is not human

Ye Xi nodded, secretly praising Luo Ke's quick response ability.

With his and You Cheng's backgrounds, he was taught to keep a low profile since he was a child, and he has gotten used to it, so he is extremely unwilling to attract the attention of others.

You Cheng can't help it now, but Ye Xi can't wait to blend into the background all the time, it's best not to be noticed by anyone.

Luo Ke fell back and lay directly on the bed, looking at the snow-white deck above his head, and suddenly asked softly: "Have you ever wondered who put that stone statue in?"

Ye Xi thought for a while, and guessed: "It should be the staff on the ship, right? With such a big statue, it is difficult for tourists to bring it up in full view, not to mention, quietly placed it neatly in our room."

"Actually," Luo Ke said slowly, "it's not entirely impossible."

"Huh?" Ye Xi looked at him suspiciously.

Luo Ke smiled lazily: "It's not absolutely impossible, at least I can do it. You've heard the allusion of 'a leaf blinds you, but you can't see Mount Tai'?"

"Of course I've heard it. Anyone who has graduated from elementary school will know it. It's in the must-read "Three Hundred Idioms". This idiom means that if you are blocked by a leaf, you can even see the tall Mount Tai in front of you." Not seen. It is a metaphor for being confused by local phenomena, unable to see the overall situation, and sometimes short-sighted.” Ye Xi said proudly that he learned idioms best during school, and they were all short stories. brain.

"Then do you know where this idiom comes from?" Luo Ke asked again.

Ye Xi, of course...don't know, he shook his head.

"It's from "Heguanzi Tianru" chapter." Luo Ke said.

Ye Xi continued to look at him blankly: "What is that?"

"The Heguan family was from the Chu state in the pre-Qin period, and was a representative of the famous Taoist school.

He is a bird with five colors. This He Guanshi has the feathers of the He Guan as his crown, so people call him He Guanshi.

He is the author of a very famous Taoist book "Heguanzi", of which "Tianrui" is one. "Luo Ke explained slowly, "The so-called laws of heaven are the laws of heaven and earth. There is a sentence in "The Rules of the Sky": "A leaf that blocks the eyes cannot see Mount Tai; two beans that block the ears cannot hear thunder." '

In fact, the original meaning of this sentence refers to a person with profound Taoism, who can cover other people's eyes with just a leaf, making them turn a blind eye.

With only two beans, people's ears can be plugged and they will not hear.The meaning that people cited later has completely lost its original meaning. "

Ye Xi tilted his head and pondered for a while, then said after some consideration: "So, you mean that it is possible that a person who knows Taoism used some tricks to get that stone statue onto the cruise ship?"

"You're not hopelessly stupid." Luo Ke said with a half-smile.

No matter how Ye Xi heard it, this sentence didn't seem like a compliment to him, and he said with wide eyes: "You are hopeless."

Luo Ke was too lazy to argue with him, thought for a moment, and asked again: "Have you heard of returning to the ruins?"

Ye Xi blurted out, ""Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern"?" He remembered that there was a story in "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" about Guixu.

Luo Ke snorted contemptuously: "It's said to let you read something with culture and connotation. Except for comics, it's popular novels. Can you pursue something decent?"

Ye Xi said unconvinced: ""Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has a lot of connotations. It introduces a lot of traditional culture and knowledge."

"That's right, it's better than reading comics anyway." Luo Ke said sarcastically.

Ye Xi glared at him fiercely again, not only did his dark pupils have no deterrent power, but they automatically interpreted a flirtatious style.

Luo Ke only felt his heart skip a beat. It was strange, why did he suddenly feel that this kid was quite...cute?

He secretly lamented in his heart. He heard that women were not allowed on board in the past. The crew often said that after three months at sea, a sow would be as good as a Diaochan.

Could it be that I have gotten too close to Ye Xi recently, the so-called habit becomes natural, and the standard of aesthetics has plummeted.

Thinking of this, he quickly looked away and stopped looking at Ye Xi.

Ye Xi didn't know what he was thinking, and asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly think of Guixu? Is it because we are at sea now?"

Luo Ke nodded, and said thoughtfully: "It is written in "Liezi·Tang Wen": "In the east of the Bohai Sea, there are hundreds of millions of miles. , called Guixu.'

"Tang Wen" also said that in this bottomless sea, there are five sacred mountains, Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai.These mountains circle up and down for [-] li, the mountains are [-] li apart, and the flat top of each mountain reaches [-] li. "

"What Liezi said was in the east of the Bohai Sea." Ye Xi emphasized.

Luo Ke smiled slightly: "Thousands of years have changed, and the position of the earth's crust has changed, which is unknown. Besides, it is possible that Liezi got the wrong place? He was from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, no matter whether he was going to the Bohai Sea or the South China Sea. , is a very difficult thing.

Most of the records of the pre-Qin philosophers and hundreds of schools are hearsay, and it is normal to have mistakes.There are no mistakes at all, which is strange. "

"There is another possibility," Ye Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, guessing, "Maybe Liezi made it up by himself, just like those fantasy novels on the Internet."

Unusually, Luo Ke did not refute his opinion: "What you said is also a possibility.

Well, in fact, there are quite a lot of records about Guixu. For example, it is written in "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Nan Jing": "Beyond the southeast sea, between the Ganshui, there is the country of Xihe."There is a woman called Xihe, the wife of Emperor Jun, who was born ten days old, and Fang bathed in Ganyuan'.

The so-called 'Ganyuan', Guo Pu, a man of the Jin Dynasty, said when he commented on the "Shan Hai Jing": 'When water accumulates, it will form a deep pool. '

Li Dongyang of the Ming Dynasty wrote a poem, "Chu Yujiao Altar Dedicated to the South China Sea". '"

Ye Xi was dizzy when he heard him repeating the memorization: "Even if we are in the South China Sea, you don't have to compete with Guixu, do you? Is there any mermaid story? It's okay to tell me. I'm very interested in fairy tales." Rather interested."

"There are no mermaids, sea ghosts, are you listening?" Luo Ke frowned.

Ye Xi shrank his neck depressedly: "Sea ghost? Forget it, I'll go play computer."

As he was speaking, he just got up when Luo Ke grabbed him: "Sit down quietly, I haven't finished talking yet."

Ye Xi looked at his unhappy expression, and didn't dare to insist on leaving, so he continued to sit by the bed.

"Do you still remember that in the dance classroom, when we played the mirror game, Xia Yu was frightened enough?" Luo Ke asked.

Ye Xi looked at him strangely: "Didn't you scare him at that time?"

"Yes and no."

"I don't understand." Luo Ke made Ye Xi even more confused.

"There was indeed a female ghost in the classroom at that time." Luo Ke raised his eyes subconsciously and looked directly at Ye Xi. As he expected, Ye Xi's dark eyes immediately widened, like a rabbit, indeed... a few Very cute.

He smiled secretly, and said, "I just temporarily let Xia Yu see dirty things. That female ghost looks quite scary, and it's perfect for scaring him."

Ye Xi looked at Luo Ke in shock, and took a deep breath: "You are ruthless."

Luo Ke glanced at him coldly: "I'll help you out again."

The situation is stronger than others, offending such a guy is really not good for him, Ye Xi immediately smiled obediently, and said cautiously: "I am very grateful to you."

Strange...

Looking at his stiff expression, Luo Ke knew what he was thinking and didn't bother with him. He raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "That female ghost came out of the sea."

Ye Xi immediately opened his mouth wide in surprise, Haili?

City b is an inland city, and it is not less than thousands of kilometers away from the nearest coastline. How could there be a female ghost in the sea running there?

Wait, something is wrong.

Ye Xi asked in surprise, "You said it's a female ghost, so she's a human?"

"Yes."

"But you said she was from the sea... Could it be a woman who drowned in the sea?"

Luo Ke was silent for a moment, then said, "Remember the liquid that fell on your neck? You thought Xia Yu did it."

"Yeah." Mentioning this matter, Ye Xi felt annoyed.

"When we were playing the game, the female ghost was on the ceiling, and the dripping liquid just landed on your neck. Also, Xia Yu said that he didn't make the white shadow you said. I also suspect that it was the one The female ghost is playing weird."

Ye Xi suddenly felt nauseous and rubbed his neck vigorously.

"Those liquids include her corpse oil, which is also mixed with sea water, so I suspect that she came out of the sea." Luo Ke continued, "The corpse oil is a very negative thing, and if it is contaminated by a living person, it will affect the body. Luck, and even provoke ghosts. That's why I told you to take a hot bath that day."

After hearing his words, Ye Xi was really grateful to him.After all, Ye Xi is not a person who does not know what is good and what is bad.

"When we were playing the mirror game, we bumped into a female ghost from the sea. Then, your brother invited us to play in the South China Sea. In the room we lived in, there was a stone statue with the female ghost's resentment. In the stone statue, the female ghost The original body of resentment, if I read correctly, is that female ghost in the dance classroom." Luo Ke said in a low voice.

Ye Xi was slightly startled, this, this is too coincidental.

"You also think it's too coincidental, don't you? I suspect that someone deliberately lured us to the South China Sea." Luo Ke looked at the deck, exhaled slowly, and said to himself, "The female ghost comes from the sea. If she didn't drown , if she is in the sea itself, then what is she? Have you seen the scales that suddenly grow on her body? It looks like fish scales, suitable for living in water. She used to live in the sea. I don’t know I don't find it strange."

Ye Xi only felt horrified. He lived in the sea. Is it a sea monster or what?Could it be that I usually eat too much fish, and they came to seek revenge on me?

The more I think about it, the more numb my scalp feels.

"That's why I think of the legend of Guixu. According to the legend, Guixu is a bottomless valley under the sea, a place where many waters gather, the end and destination of all things, and there is an ancient kingdom inside. These legends, after all Which one is true?" Luo Ke murmured, "Could that female ghost come from Guixu?"

Ye Xi opened his mouth, this conjecture was too unimaginable and terrifying.

"The nature of water is yin. This vast sea is really the most shady place. You are incomplete, and you are prone to attract ghosts and ghosts. Let me lend you this amulet first." Luo Ke thought for a moment, sat up, and took off his own amulet. He put the lotus pendant on Ye Xi's neck.

"No, no need." Ye Xi was taken aback by his sudden movement, and habitually turned his head to the side, who knew that Luo Ke was also facing him sideways.

The bed was already narrow, and the distance between the two was really only a few feet away, so his cheek just brushed against Luo Ke's lips.
