Chapter 1: The Ghost Gate

"Niangniang, the ghost city of Xudu is below, where do we land?" Suzaku asked Ren Ji, listening to a bird talking, Jiu'er was not used to it for a while, but anyway, he was one of the four spirits of the sky, a divine bird, and it was not uncommon to say a human word.

Ren Ji Niangniang gently patted the flaming wings of the Vermilion Bird, and said gently: "Let's enter through the ghost gate, since my concubine Niangniang is back, let's enter through the main gate of the ghost city in a dignified manner, and you can't be special." ”

Ren Ji sat on the back of the Suzaku bird and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly instructed the Suzaku to say: "Suzaku, the visit to the ghost city of this palace should be notified in advance, in order to prevent everyone in the ghost city from seeing the palace in a hurry, it is appropriate for you to report it first." ”

Xuanfei Niangniang glanced at the treacherous mist under her, I don't know which one is the Emperor of Xudu at this time, since Princess Ren Ji's weak water and anger began to open the Three Realms, the ghost city of the underworld has been more than 10,000 years, and the position of the Emperor of Xudu for three thousand years has been changed at least three times, when Jiutian Niangniang left the Divine Domain, the two princes of the Ghost Country were ordered to temporarily take this position, and the two of them should now give up this position.

As for when Ren Ji Niangniang was the ghost emperor set up in the capital and when Princess Aren was named Xuanfei Niangniang, this memory, Jiu'er didn't remember it for a long time, but she did remember her identity as Xuanfei Niangniang, and her memory was partially missing.

Jiu'er is not in a hurry, she believes that one day she will slowly remember.

"By the way, Suzaku, where were you in my first two lives on earth? How did you find Hongu? Ren asked Suzaku.

"Mother, I just remember that my spiritual power seems to be damaged, and then I fly and fly... Fly... Fly..."

Ren Ji opened her mouth and waited for a long time, Suzaku's "flying" was repeated nine times, it should have flown a long way, Jiu'er was so anxious that she said angrily: "Don't fly, just say the next sentence, where did you fly?" ”

"I remember, I flew, flew for a long time, and finally arrived in Tanggu, in Tanggu Fengfu Yumen, I plunged into the sea of fire, in the sea of fire, I stayed for five thousand years, and then I don't know why, I jumped up from the fire of the East Pole Aurora, flew to the world, and then arrived at the cat mound, and happened to meet the Queen of Amazong, Lampedo, who wanted to assassinate Niangniang. Maybe it's the telepathy of the talisman beast and the master, which prompted me to find Niangniang. Niangniang, I miss the time when you and the Shaodian Emperor, as well as the little prince Yan, and other gods and ancestors in the Kunlun Divine Domain, were happy together. ”

"Hey, that must be a beautiful paragraph, but it's a pity that Bengong doesn't remember it."

"Oh, I almost forgot, this time back, the mother is still a little amnesiac."

Listening to Suzaku's words, it seems that she has returned more than once, this spirit bird, she can't speak.

"However, Suzaku, you call it the rebirth of the fire, the noble status of the phoenix is extraordinary, but you have always been a bird that does not imitate the phoenix, and the fire has been reborn for five thousand years, you are more ridiculous than the master."

"Niangniang, why have you forgotten everything, can he compare with me, Phoenix? Flame rebirth is obviously a high-level practice for my Vermilion Bird, and then the phoenix kid also made a fire rebirth in order to pursue me, besides, can he compare Phoenix with my Vermilion Bird, I am the four spirits of the sky, a divine beast, the phoenix is at most a family of divine birds, and the four spiritual beasts of the entire divine domain are also Xuanwu, White Tiger, and Qinglong, and the Phoenix Bird is a whole family. Rare things are precious, don't treat spirit beasts as gods, my Vermilion Bird is the talisman beast of your Nine Heavens God of War, and it is among the gods. ”

Jiu'er sat on the back of the Suzaku and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that even my Xuanfei Niangniang's divine beast is so cute, it can be seen that my Jiutian Niangniang is even more godly and loved!" ”

"By the way, Niangniang, why hasn't Xuanwu appeared yet?"

"yes!?" As soon as Suzaku reminded him like this, Jiu'er Fang remembered, how come there are no Xuanwu spirit beasts in the Third World Love Tribulation, only when the spirit beasts from all over the world gather can they open the Arctic Heavenly Gate, is Xuanwu in the underworld?

The master and servant chatted all the way, and the Suzaku who hadn't seen the master for thousands of years was about to go crazy, but he could catch someone who could talk to him, and although Niangniang herself almost forgot all kinds of things about the Suzaku in her previous life and the Suzaku Bird, she was happy to see Suzaku Jiu'er, as if she had seen Ling'er and Fei'er like this "bird" with fiery red wings.

Dushuo Mountain - where the ghost gate of Xudu is located.

Jiu'er thought that the entrance to the underworld was on land, but it seemed that she was really missing part of her memory, and the real entrance to the underworld was in the middle of the sea, under the branches of a huge peach tree on Dushuo Mountain.

The Vermilion Bird circled around the white expanse for a while, and finally discerned the direction of Dushuo Mountain, and plunged downward.

The peak of a gray cliff in the mist fell rapidly, so frightened that Jiu'er hurriedly grabbed the wings of the Vermilion Bird, and when the Vermilion Bird was about to fall to the foot of the peak, a huge gray peach tree that stretched for more than a thousand miles appeared in front of him, the gray trunk of the peach tree gray branches and leaves, fortunately the flowers were not gray, but brown petals.

Jiu'er pouted, the ghost city of Xudu, does even a flower have a ghostly atmosphere.

Following the branches of the huge peach tree, the Suzaku flew eastward.

In the vast gray miasma, a huge trunk stands tall and void - this should be where the ghost gate of Xudu is located.

Suzaku flapped its wings and landed slowly, saying that it was landing, Ren Ji didn't see anything solid under his feet, it seemed that a mist miasma held up the "land" under his feet, looking up at the sky, it was also covered by a miasma of fog, there was no end, the miasma of fog flowed, the whole space was extremely weird, worthy of being a ghost door, this momentum, if it wasn't for the dead spirit, when he got here, he would have been scared to death.

The Vermilion Bird turned into an inch-long bird, nestled on Ren Niangniang's chest, and Jiu'er walked slowly forward in the direction of the miasma flowing.

Dozens of steps later, under the peach branch giant trunk, a huge gate appeared that almost touched the sky, and the entire giant door continued to overflow with pus-like black liquid, and the surrounding gray dead branches chirped, and a number of snakes, rats, ants and insects came out of nowhere under the feet - the ghost gate revealed its true face.

The pitch-black door was tightly closed, and there was a gray color without a sense of quality around it, as if time was standing still here, and the black gate suddenly appeared in the gray space, with a dark luster, and the definition of color here completely subverted Jiu'er's previous cognition.

The ghost city of Xudu, that is, the original underworld where heaven and earth were divided into three realms, on the banks of the weak water river, the souls of the four kings were scattered, and their seven-point yin spirits should be here.

Walking in the footsteps of the void, Jiu'er slowly walked to the black giant door, stretched out his hand to push the door in.

Just half of his hand was raised, and a dark black figure suddenly came out of the giant door, instantly surrounding the concubine Niangniang in front of the door, and the dark shadow made a terrifying murmur: "The ghost door is closed, the dead go in, and the living come out." ”

"The city of the capital, the city of the dead, the Nine Hidden Monarchs, the eternal withered, the eternal withered"

In addition to the eerie self-talk, there is also a sharp wail.

After the black shadow stopped turning, more than a dozen black-clothed ghosts floated down, their faces blurred, and they couldn't see their specific faces, but the neat black clothes made Jiu'er's heart happy, and he said loudly: "Ghost Guard?!" Is it really you? ”

Jiu'er reached for one of them's shirt, and the black phantom flashed back.

Jiu'er was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't you know me, I'm Princess Aren, and you have protected me with the gods in the country of Haobi?" As for your prince, let him come out to see me, and say that Concubine Xuan has come to see them! ”

Jiu'er said ecstatically, not paying attention to the indifferent performance of a dozen ghosts, Suzaku muttered in Niangniang's arms: "Niangniang, keep a low profile, don't report your name yet, don't you see that people ignore you at all, I'm afraid that everything has changed, it won't be controlled by an unknown evil force, right?" ”

Hearing Suzaku's reminder, Jiu'er calmed down a bit, and then looked at the performance of several ghosts, and was a little indifferent.

"Where did the living people come from, so bold that they dared to call the name of the Ghost Emperor!"

"This is the ghost gate, only the dead are allowed to enter, if you don't want to die a tragic death, leave quickly." Another ghost with a black mist covering his face said.

"If the Ghost Emperor knows, it will definitely make your soul turn into a dead soul."

"Yes, look at your dress, you should be from the Western world, at a young age, go back and live for a few more years, the current underworld is not as good as before, it is better to live, our twelve ghost guards are also kind, go back."

I didn't expect the subjects of the ghost city to be kind-hearted, but what this ghost guard said, although Jiu'er could hear it clearly, how could it be like an alien language, inexplicable.

Jiu'er lowered her head and whispered to Suzaku: "Suzaku, do you understand what they say?" ”

"Mother, I didn't understand."

"Aren't you the Four Spirits of the Heavens, why can't you even understand a sentence?"

"Niangniang or the Nine Heavens Xuanfei? Didn't you understand? ”

This bold "bird", Jiu'er scolded in his heart, rubbing a handful of Vermilion Bird feathers with his hands, according to the experience of digging birds' nests by the Nu River when he was a child, the "bird" is a creature that cherishes its feathers very much, messing up its feather shape, see if it dares to "go against the grain" No?

"Niangniang, you are too open-minded, I originally thought that after some training in the human world, you will become broad-minded when you come back, hey, it seems that you are overestimated."

"I said this living person, what are you talking about to yourself, don't blame me for not reminding you, if the Ghost Emperor smells the breath of a living person, he will definitely come out and turn you into a dead person."

"Niangniang, I understand, Yudu must not be what you were when you left 10,000 years ago, let's leave here first, let's think about it in the long run."

"What are you afraid of, this palace has recovered its divine power, it's a big deal that I speak with mana." Jiu'er is majestic and wants to break through the ghost gate.

"Niangniang," Suzaku stopped with a shriek: "No, there are some things you really forgot, there are many powerful opponents in the Three Realms today that we can't imagine, they are all in the shadows, you must keep a low profile, have you really forgotten all about the tragic failure of the last reincarnation?" ”

Suzaku's words made Jiu'er have to stop her impulsive actions and whispered: "Suzaku, do you mean that this palace has failed because of impulsiveness?" Is it the time on the banks of the weak water river or the time when the Kunlun Divine Domain fights the evil power? Ren Ji always felt that Suzaku didn't say these two times.
