Chapter 353: The January Period
"Jade Rabbit Fairy, are you going out to look for fairy grass again?" The guards of the South Heavenly Gate were accustomed to it, but they were very interested in the huge rabbit. "Fairy, why is this rabbit so fat?"
Jade Rabbit explained with a light smile, "The fatter it is, the more elk incense it emits from its body, and the fairy grass will emit a faint light when it smells it, which is also easy for Jade Rabbit to identify and find." ”
"Oh, it's a mythical beast too. The fairy walks slowly. ”
Yutu nodded faintly and flew out of the Nantianmen directly, and before his feet landed, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him. Thinking that someone was chasing him, Jade Rabbit immediately took off, and struggled to fly out of the sky, until he could no longer see the shadow of Nantianmen before gasping and stopping.
The two of them fled all the way, but they didn't know that Nantianmen was giving a new order to the Jade Emperor, "General Blazing Flame sent a secret report, the Shushan Gate wants to get out of the control of the Protoss, the Jade Emperor has an order, and all checkpoints are strictly guarded against unscrupulous people who are planning to make a living. ”
The road to Huangquan is the only way to enter the underworld, Jiang Xiaoyu recovered his true body to resist the bone-chilling yin qi around him, and the jade rabbit followed closely, although his expression was calm, his hands were clenched into fists, obviously extremely afraid.
"Let you go back, you follow, I really can't understand your woman's head!" Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at Yutu very unhappily, and when she saw her pitiful appearance, she wanted to bully but couldn't bear it, so she immediately stretched out her hand, "Sure enough, it's a timid rabbit, okay, Brother Xiaoyu is holding you." ”
The jade rabbit glanced at him, and he was still arrogant, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a figure loosened in front of him, followed by the sound of iron chains rubbing the ground. Yutu was terrified, and immediately clasped Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, and asked tremblingly, "Yes, what is it?" ”
"Cut, it's the sound of the soul chain, look at it scares you."
The ghost with a huge head slowly appeared in front of the two, his scarlet nose sniffed, and his hoarse voice let out a sigh. Jiang Xiaoyu immediately said in a deep voice, "The Protoss Fanyu pays a visit to Lord Hades, and I beg the ghost to pass it on." ”
The ghost turned his head very slowly, pulled the soul chain in his hand and walked forward slowly, muttering in a low voice that he couldn't really hear. Although Jiang Xiaoyu is His Royal Highness of the Protoss, the King of Hades is the lord of the underworld, so Jiang Xiaoyu still respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, "Lord Hades, don't come unharmed!" ”
The king of Hades was hidden in the darkness and couldn't see his appearance clearly, but his voice was like a bell, "Your Highness Fanyu, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, why did you come to the underworld?" ”
"I want to find someone's soul, and I ask Hades to make it convenient."
"The gods of the Protoss are not under the control of the underworld, and the records of death and life are no longer in the book of life and death, is Your Highness looking for the wrong place."
"I found that it was not a person from the Protoss, but a mortal woman named Ji Wushuang, who died a few days ago."
"Ji Wushuang?" Hades turned to the judge.
The judge said coldly, "Your Highness, if you don't know the birth date, you should also provide an exact time of death, so that I can check this person according to the record of the ghost's mission or the record in the life and death book." Just one name, the official can't do anything. ”
Jiang Xiaoyu's face changed slightly, and grief welled up in his heart, he really didn't know what year and month Ji Wushuang was born. Yutu felt a pain in her heart, this was the first time she had seen Fan Yu have such an expression, so sad, so helpless.
"Your Excellency, how can we find it?"
The judge was silent, and when the king of Hades saw this, he had to say, "There are hundreds of people in the world who return to their souls every day, and the ghosts are different places, and they are controlled by different gods of death, and even if the exact time of death is given, it is not easy to find. ”
Yutu looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and persuaded in a low voice, "That person has been dead for a few days, and he must have been sent by a ghost to the underworld, why don't we go find it layer by layer?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu came back to his senses from grief and self-blame, thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Hades, if a mortal dies with an incomplete soul, what will the underworld do?" ”
The king of Hades couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he understood how the soul that could allow His Royal Highness of the dignified God Clan to go down to the underworld to find it could come from birth, old age, sickness and death.
The judge explained coldly, "If the soul is not complete, you can't step into the path of reincarnation, and the limited space of the underworld will not keep the incomplete soul for a long time, so the underworld stipulates that the period of one month is limited, and those who have incomplete souls are locked in the Soul Stagnant Tower, and when the period of January comes, if the soul is still incomplete, it will be automatically destroyed and will never enter the reincarnation." ”
"Where is the Soul Tower?"
"The end of Huangquan Road, the west of the bridge."
Before the judge's voice fell, Jiang Xiaoyu had already rushed away. Yutu hurriedly followed, but was separated by the wandering ghosts, and watched Jiang Xiaoyu disappear at the end of the darkness.
"Get out of the way!" The Jade Rabbit was anxious and afraid, and shouted loudly.
"Jade Rabbit Fairy," the voice of Hades came from behind him, echoing like a death knell, lingering in the empty hall for a long time. "If you take Brahma Rain to the lower realm without authorization, you can know that the death penalty cannot be escaped."
The Jade Rabbit stiffened and stood there in a daze.
In front of the Soul Stagnant Tower, Jiang Xiaoyu looked at his father who was surrounded by a faint golden light in the dark, and stood stubbornly, "Father, Ji Wushuang died for me, but now he has ended up with an incomplete soul and difficult to reincarnate. Erchen can't let her soul go away in the end, please ask your father to allow Erchen a month period, when Erchen finds the soulless soul, send her to reincarnation, and then immediately return to the temple, never escape to the lower realm again. ”
The Jade Emperor looked at Jiang Xiaoyu condescendingly, his heart fluctuated, and it was difficult to settle down. After being silent for a long time, the Jade Emperor sighed deeply and said, "Xiaoyu, it's not that my father is unsympathetic, it's just that the Protoss has been disturbed by everything recently, and my father is a little exhausted. Since you insisted, the Father granted you a month's term. However, you have to promise me that whether you can find it or not, after a month you must return to the temple and assume the responsibility of your highness the gods! ”
"Sons obey God's will!" Jiang Xiaoyu knelt down deeply.
"The Jade Rabbit will help you escape, commit the Heavenly Rules, and behead according to the law!"
"Father!" When Jiang Xiaoyu heard this, she immediately got up and said urgently, "Yutu, she is just threatened by me, not ~"
The Jade Emperor glanced at him and continued, "But I remember that she has been making medicine for many years, so I will follow you this time and make up for it!" If you can't come back safely after a month, then she will die in the line of duty, and she will not be wronged! ”
"Father, you're forcing her to spy on me!"
"Then you go back with me now, I promise that Yutu will stay in her Guanghan Palace well, and there will be no problems, how about it?"
Jiang Xiaoyu was silent, the Jade Emperor glared at him, his long sleeves waved, and his golden body disappeared into the darkness.
Jiang Xiaoyu's heart was extremely depressed, but there was nothing he could do. In front of the Soul Tower, there was silence, which was completely different from the wailing and screaming in other parts of the underworld. Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly didn't dare to step forward, he was afraid, afraid that the scene he saw would destroy all his assumptions, and the guilt in his heart would be magnified, and magnified again, until it overwhelmed him.
"Your Highness, it's time for us to go!" The voice of the jade rabbit remembered behind him, faint, crisp, and vivid. Just like Ji Wushuang, who was as vivid as he once chased after him.
"I won't let you stay here for too long, Wushuang, this time, I will do what I say!" (To be continued.) )
