Chapter 217: Mother and Son
Chengtian Temple, in front of the shrine of the landlord.
"For the fourth time. Looking at the passage that appeared in front of him, Huo Quzhi showed a complicated gaze.
In all fairness, he didn't want to go down, but Ji Le asked him to bring Deng Liang over to find the baby spirit. After all, only the two of them have ever been to this place, Yuan Xi and Yang Ke. Ji Le didn't show up, and the two were hard to find, so he could only reluctantly embarrass himself.
While thinking, he looked at Deng Liang behind the shrine: "Are you okay?"
"It's fine. Deng Liang, who dodged the dark arrow, came back again and complained: "I didn't expect that the shrine was actually set up like this." Do you have to come like this every time you come down, brother-in-law?"
"Then I don't know. But Huo Quai's heart was dark when he saw others encountering the same experience as himself. It's finally not me stepping on the point. No wonder Ji Le likes to pit people. Sure enough, it is much more comfortable to see others unlucky than to be unlucky yourself.
The last time I went down with Ji Le and Yuan Xi, Huo Qu's illness was also a step on it.
"Let's go, let's go down. Be warned, though, that this altar is a little weird. And, be mentally prepared. ”
"I understand. Deng Liang smiled bitterly: "But you have to come and take a look, you can't let Sister Ah bear it alone." Moreover, we should have come earlier. ”
If it is resolved while their group is still alive, perhaps they will not pass on their grievances and anger to future generations, causing future generations to pay their debts.
Walking to the secret room and seeing the tragic scene underground, Deng Liang took a deep breath. But in the end, his qi cultivation kung fu is first-class, and his demeanor is better than Huo Quai's illness and Ji Le's first time.
In the final analysis, Huo Qubing was only a twenty-year-old young man, and Deng Liang was twice as old as Huo Qubing when he died. Looking at the dead baby hanging in the hanging, he said in a deep voice: "What a heavy grievance! There are many negative forces stored here, which can cause people's minds to collapse. General, this place can't be stayed!"
"It's a lot less. Huo Quzhi said: "Yuan Xi came down to purify once, and the negative emotions here have dissipated a lot. Forget it, find someone. ”
If the souls of those babies were near the altar, then where were they hiding? Deng Liang and Huo Qubing searched carefully in the secret room.
Huo Quzhi came to the dark compartment again, took out the contents of the house, and thought, "This thing may be usable." ”
"General, come and have a look. Deng Liang stood in front of the altar and pointed to a stone brick below: "There is yin qi here." ”
"Yin Qi?" Huo Quzhi walked over and stared at the ordinary brick. Under the perception of him, Ji Le, and Yuan Xi, they couldn't detect this faint yin qi at all.
However, Huo Quzhi believed Deng Liang's judgment: Perhaps, only Deng Liang's ghost body could find out?
"Since there is a problem, then-" Huo Qu made a move, took the dark red war spear in his hand, and stabbed the brick fiercely.
Bang - black yin qi erupts from the inside of the brick, and there are vague spatial fluctuations.
"Another space?" Huo Quzhi didn't say a word, and chased directly into that space. Deng Liang didn't dare to let this senior take risks alone, so he also rushed in.
After entering this space, Deng Liang found that he was enveloped in a thick yin qi. It felt like a narrow underworld on the other side.
"But the concentration of yin qi is not as good as that of the ghost city of the underworld - general!" he saw Huo Qubing not far away. At this moment, there are hundreds of cavalry around Huo Quai, who are carefully searching in the space.
"What did the general find?"
"This space is similar to the blessed land mentioned by Jira, it is a confined space that is separate from the altar, and it is not the realm of the Mother of Abundance. ”
Looking at this pitch-black and lightless realm, Huo Quzhi flashed a thought: Perhaps, this is the original underworld of the Xia Kingdom?
Suddenly, he saw a white shadow flash through the darkness.
"Chase!" The big man immediately rushed in that direction, but the white shadow disappeared in a flash, and he couldn't find it at all.
Huo Qu was sick and did not believe in evil, so he formed the cavalry into three circles to the periphery, and slowly thought about exploring the surroundings.
Suddenly, there was a movement in one direction. A cavalryman swung his sword ahead, and a white shadow staggered away, and the sound of crying could be faintly heard.
"Listening to the voice, it doesn't seem to be very old?" Deng Liang: "And from the height of the white shadow...... It seems like a child?"
"Child?" the two looked at each other, thinking of a dried corpse hanging from the altar.
Huo Quzhi groaned: "Perhaps, I want to invite Mrs. Zheng to come." ”
Most of Yang's children are stillborns or newborn babies who are less than a month old. Only one person was sacrificed in the form of a child.
Huo Quzhi waved his hand and summoned his subordinates to his side: "Go out first and find Mrs. Zheng over." ”
"Go out?" Deng Liang hesitated: "But ...... way to come"
After they entered, the entrance disappeared automatically.
"Hmph, if General Ben dares to take risks, he is not afraid that he will not be able to get out!" he waved his spear again, and the power of the martial soul was injected into it, casually stabbing at the space.
From the point where the tip of the gun broke, crack-like cracks appeared in the space, and white light soon appeared.
"Let's go!" Huo Quzhi put away the cavalry, looked in the direction of the cry, and left the space with Deng Liang.
But when the two reappear in the outside world, it is not an altar of abundance, but an empty secret room.
"This place looks a little familiar," Huo Quzhi'......s heart moved, and he took Deng Liang to the ground.
Seeing the Mingde Hall standing behind him, Huo Quzhi suddenly realized: "Sure enough, it's the Mingde Palace!"
Deng Liang: "Why is the Mingde Palace? Shouldn't it be the Chengtian Palace?"
"Not surprisingly, the space we just entered is the underworld originally derived from the Xia Kingdom. ”
The Mingde Hall is a place to worship the martyrs. Here are the tablets of the heroic souls of the Yang family and the martyrs. Under the incense sacrifice, a special Yin Qi realm was formed under His Royal Highness Mingde.
If Ji Le hadn't intervened, after a hundred years, the space under the Mingde Hall would have truly transformed into the underworld, and prompted some martyrs to wake up and open up a ghost city for the Xia Kingdom in the underworld.
"After all, those infant spirits are sacrificing for the country, so they are hiding in this space...... Where is this Mother of Abundance, it is clearly the efforts of these infant spirits themselves!"
In the Yongle Palace, Ji Le was also very dissatisfied, and was angry at the women around him: "Mother Earth is pit me again! What a mother of abundance looks down on these infant spirits." It is clear that this child rescued those ignorant children while other children were sacrificed, and brought them into the yin space to protect them!"
I asked the Mother Earth to help me find the Mother of Abundance. As a result, in essence, these infant spirits are not in the hands of the Mother of Fertility at all!
And the key to this is the child in white!
Earth Mother didn't speak, she also saw the things in the Yin Qi space, and her expression was a little complicated.
"That should be a collection of infant spirits, right? I didn't expect that this special spirit could be seen in the Xia Kingdom. ”
Ji Le sneered: "It sounds like the Earth Mother God is not omniscient. ”
"I will also fall into a deep sleep, and I will not pay attention to the outside world all the time. I thought that my incarnation would be more honest, but it seems to be a little out of control. ”
"So, let's kill it quickly!" Ji Le's eyes were cold: "If it weren't for the cleverness of this kid in my family, he would have escaped." I'm afraid it will be destroyed by the altar, right?"
That little boy was the child who was originally sacrificed, and he was also Yang Ke's "eldest uncle" and the eldest son of Lady Zheng.
Only this child was sent to the altar after the age of three. In other words, this child is the core. Later, all the infant spirits assimilated with it, forming a huge collection of resentful spirits.
Mother Earth closed her eyes and said, "This child was sent to the altar by his biological father, and his soul will not be separated after death. Crying at the altar every day caused the Mother of Fertility to be annoyed and suppressed under the altar. If it weren't for this kid finding the Yin Qi space on his own, he would indeed be destroyed by the divine light on the altar. ”
"Not only him, but the other infant spirits behind will also be destroyed by the divine light. It's just that this child is kind-hearted and can't see other children getting hurt, so he takes the risk of protecting it and hiding it in the yin qi space while sacrificing. ”
Over time, the child fused with other infant spirits to form a special spirit.
The Earth Mother Goddess, who is not mixed with demons, has the unique sensibility of the mother goddesses, and she said to Ji Le: "If you want, you can make him the protector of the baby." If necessary, I can bestow divinity and use the power of incense to restore him to normal. ”
"That's all there is to it. ”
If it was just a simple description in black and white, Ji Leshang would not be so moved. But seeing the three-year-old boy hiding from outsiders in the altar and protecting those younger siblings, nephews and nieces really made his heart sour.
At the end of the day, these children are the most innocent.
"I just asked Your Majesty to help with the errand, but this thing can be done ......" Ji Le looked very dissatisfied.
"I owe you a favor. Mother Earth smiled bitterly in her heart. She didn't know that her incarnation was half hidden and half exposed, and the so-called infant spirits were left on the altar, but those infant spirits hid themselves. She had thought that those infant spirits had been sealed by the incarnation. For this reason, he deliberately ran to negotiate terms with the Mother of Abundance, which is ridiculous.
"Hmph-" Ji Le didn't speak, and quietly watched Mrs. Zheng rush to the Mingde Palace.
Seeing the Mingde Palace, Mrs. Zheng was suddenly overjoyed: "Have you found the location of the altar?
Huo Quzhi: "Sounds like Madame has been here?"
Mrs. Zheng was in a stirring mood: "After Liu'er's accident, I could dream of him crying in the dark every night. Once used to use magic to sense, but he could be searched near the Mingde Palace, but he couldn't find any trace of him at all. ”
She had tracked down her son's death back then. But the clue was interrupted in the Mingde Temple, and the location of the altar was not found until he died.
"It stands to reason that the Mingde Hall is a place to worship ancestral spirits. If you set up the altar darkroom, it must be down here. But I looked for it, and there was only an empty secret room, and there was no other trace. ”
Sure enough, another person who was misled by the Yang family.
Huo Quzhi thought of himself and Ji Le, and initially guessed that the altar of the secret room was under the Mingde Palace?
So, he told Mrs. Zheng about the situation.
"It's actually the Chengtian Temple? He actually hid the secret passage under the shrine? No wonder I didn't find it under the Danqi. "Moreover, his own child is hiding in the Yin Qi space, and he can actually enter from the empty room under the Mingde Palace?
So, when I walked around the empty room for a long time, it turned out that I just passed by?
Mrs. Zheng couldn't wait to rush into the secret room and asked Huo Quzhi to call the passage to the Yin Qi space.
Yin space is a general reference, as long as the place of sacrifice is rich in incense, it can roughly form a small yin space.
There are under the Spirit Palace, under the Spirit Mountain, and even under the ruins of Tianjiao City and the side platform. These yin qi spaces slowly expand, and the first underworld will be formed.
Huo Quzhi took Mrs. Zheng into the yin space, and with the connection in the dark, Mrs. Zheng sensed the location of her eldest son.
didn't wait for Deng Liang to come in together, she rushed directly in that direction.
The woman was in a hurry. Huo Quzhi shook his head, and while sending cavalry to wait for Deng Liang, he rode a horse to catch up.
When he came to the children's hiding place, he saw a three-year-old boy who was not growing up and was protecting a group of babies behind him, and looked at Mrs. Zheng and the cavalry vigilantly.
Seeing this child, the corners of Mrs. Zheng's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
"Stream...... Liu'er ......"
Mrs. Zheng softly called her child's nickname.
The child looked at Mrs. Zheng, at first he was a little detached, but gradually, he suddenly cried loudly: "Wow...... A-Niang...... Ah Ong: He hit me...... It hurts ......."
Under the white clothes, you can also see a scar the size of a bowl. Even though he has become a ghost, the wound is still clearly visible.
Suddenly, Mrs. Zheng couldn't hold back, stepped forward to hug her son, and scolded bitterly: "Yang Zhi, if you want to protect your people, aren't my family Liu'er among them?
Although Mrs. Zheng has long known the cause and effect of this incident, seeing and hearing it with her own eyes is not the same thing after all.
Seeing her children suffering here, even if reason tells her that her husband is doing the right thing. But emotionally, I can't accept this after all.
In the Yongle Palace, the two holy faces are like frost.
Ji Le said softly, "Your Majesty?"
Mother Earth stretched out her hand, condensed a ball of divine light with her divine power and handed it to Ji Le: "Turn back, you give this child." ”
Ji Le shook his head: "The Yang family, after all, is a victim of being fooled. That alone is the bane of everything. If I get her in trouble, will you intervene?"
Mother Earth muttered, "I can lend you the scepter." But...... What time?"
"Do you need time to kill someone?"
"Yes. Mother Earth stretched out her hand and pointed, and a yellow light flew from the Earth Mother Underworld: "This thing contains the origin of the Creator, you be careful." ”
As soon as the scepter was in his hand, Ji Le immediately sensed it, revealing a look of surprise: "The consciousness of the ancient snake is still there?" In an instant, he understood where the confidence of the Earth Mother God was, and why he dared to compete with God and the Heavenly Concubine. It turns out that the ancient snake has reached an agreement with the Earth Mother?
"It's okay, the artifact transformed by the creator should be enough to deal with a mere Earth Mother incarnation!"
