After leaving the East China Sea, the empress took me all the way to the west.

Now that the world is stable and in ruins, the industrious human race has begun to gradually return to its former life.

This kind of scene is both comforting and worrying about the future battle of the Heavenly Dao.

Once sentient beings fail to destroy the heavens, all the efforts of the Three Realms, the Dao Gate, and all the sentient beings in the entire human world will come to naught.

Even the entire human realm Heavenly Dao can be abandoned, and after completely getting rid of the shackles of fate, the Heavenly Dao no longer needs to rely on the human world to gain a foothold, because the entire universe is his.

Daozang did not record the name of the Demon Dao Patriarch, let alone his birthplace.

It's not that Daozang can hide this, but that no one in the Three Realms really knows, and even the people he trusts the most, the two protectors of Greedy Wolf and Broken Army, don't know the mystery of the Demon Dao Ancestor's background.

"Your Majesty the Empress, why did Dao Ancestor hide his origin?" I asked.

"Heavenly Dao didn't know that the Demon Dao Patriarch was a child of destiny, and only regarded his style of acting as the result of the Seven Killings. Once the origin of the Demon Dao Patriarch is revealed, the Heavenly Dao can use this to deduce the true identity of the Demon Dao Patriarch. In this case, the Demon Dao Patriarch will definitely be completely wiped out by the Heavenly Dao, and there will be no future you. ”

The empress is right, once the Demon Dao Patriarch confirms the identity of the Child of Destiny, Heavenly Dao will definitely kill him. At that time, the Heavenly Dao was not involved in so many causal catastrophes, and there was no way to kill the Demon Dao Patriarch with the power of fate.

"Since no one knows the identity and origin of the Demon Dao Patriarch, how does Her Majesty the Empress know?"

"Actually, I only found out recently, and it's thanks to you."

"Me?"

"If you hadn't given me the six strings from the past, I wouldn't have discovered the mystery of the Demon Dao Ancestor's life from the six realms of reincarnation."

Before Hou Tu Niang Niang incarnated into the six realms of reincarnation, the fate of the six realms of beings was controlled by the Phoenix Qin of Emperor Fuxi.

After Fu Xi's death, the six realms he was in charge of also collapsed. In order to save the sentient beings of the six realms and rebuild the order of the world, Hou Tu Niang Niang made a great wish to incarnate the six realms of reincarnation, thus completing the replacement of the old and the new.

After the empress obtained the six strings, she retreated in the Netherworld Temple to realize it.

Through the comparison of the old and the new six realms of reincarnation, the empress sensed a trace of a very hidden power of fate.

The empress continued to follow this trace of fate power, and finally found that this trace of fate disappeared with the entry of the Seven Kills Destiny Grid.

The Seven Kills entered the world, and the Demon Dao Patriarch was born.

Unexpectedly, the place where the power of fate finally disappeared was the birthplace of the Demon Dao Patriarch.

"So where did the power of fate disappear?" I asked.

"Nine Doubts Mountain in southern Hunan, the birth of the Demon Dao Patriarch is related to Emperor Shun."

The empress said that when the child of destiny is born, there will be a vision in heaven and earth.

And to cover up this vision, it is necessary to choose a hidden place for the child of destiny that will not be detected by the heavens.

However, the entire human world can't hide the divine thoughts of the Heavenly Dao, so there is no such place at all, and even fate is helpless.

This is also the reason why after Fu Xi's death, there has been no new child of destiny.

Later, this dilemma was solved after the death of Emperor Shun.

The area around Jiuyi Mountain was originally the land of fish and rice, and one year the river on the peak of Jiuzhi Mountain was blocked by a snake demon, and there was no drop of water flowing out.

The people who relied on the river water to irrigate the fields had no choice but to let the fields be wasted, and they left their homes to beg and begged to the capital of Emperor Shun.

After learning that the people were suffering because of the snake demon, Emperor Shun, who was dedicated to the people and the people of the world, immediately took the sword to the Nine Doubts Mountain.

After a great battle, Emperor Shun beheaded the snake demon, but he himself was seriously injured.

Emperor Shun had two imperial concubines, and after hearing the news, he took the image and appearance of the Jiuzhi Mountain painted by the painter and rushed to the Jiuzhi Mountain, and went all the way south to find the place where Emperor Shun killed the demon.

However, there are nine mountains on the road that are similar to the mountain shape of Jiuzhi Mountain, which makes the two concubines infinitely confused, and they are not seen until Emperor Shun returns to heaven.

The two imperial concubines were heartbroken, and their tears when they cried rubbed on the bamboo knots around them, and now the bamboo can still see tear stains, so people call it the tear bamboo.

After Shun's death, fate sensed that there was a great mystery in the Nine Doubts Mountain, so the Son of Destiny was born in the Nine Doubts Mountain. Later, when the Demon Dao Patriarch was born, the vision of heaven and earth was indeed covered by the Nine Doubts Mountain, and even the Heavenly Dao could not detect it.

Jiuyi Mountain is in Ningyuan County, Hunan, and has been a scenic spot since ancient times.

The mountain peaks are towering and green, majestic and magnificent, the karst caves are dense, the green water often flows, the natural scenery is very beautiful, and it has the reputation of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the face of nine doubts.

Now that the world is established, there are also tourists on Jiuyi Mountain.

The empress and I each manifested as ordinary people, toured the scenery with the tourists, walked all over the nine peaks, and finally confirmed that the Demon Dao Patriarch was born at the foot of Emperor Shun Peak.

There is an old village called Cangwu Village under the Shundi Peak, and the architectural appearance still maintains a strong ancient humanistic atmosphere. The surrounding villages have all been assimilated into the world, but this one is clearly out of place.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

I have cut off the dust, and my hometown is only a ruin. But Cangwu Village aroused my strong nostalgia, like a wanderer who had been wandering for many years returning to his hometown.

I froze in place, rolling in the sea of consciousness, and instantly burst into tears. I can be sure that this is the birthplace of the Demon Dao Patriarch, and Cangwu Village is his hometown.

The Empress also apparently realized from my reaction that this was the hometown of the Demon Dao Patriarch, and her eyes were wet with tears.

I can understand her feelings, a man who has been in love for thousands of years, never knows his origin, deep love, and sometimes even has all kinds of illusions of loving you like a dream.

Now that he has come to his hometown, to the place where his life began, the empress can no longer suppress the emotions in her heart.

While the Empress and I were in a daze, a group of children came out of the village laughing and laughing. The eldest is only twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest is three or four years old. When they saw us, they all showed curious looks.

"Shame or not, such a big person still cries his nose." A young boy with a pot lid pointed at us.

As he spoke, the children burst into laughter.

The empress and I couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly wiped the tears off our faces.

Beautiful women have a natural affinity, and most of the attention of those children is on her.

The empress walked up to the child, squatted down and asked gently, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Xie Ming." The little boy was not timid at all and replied loudly.

"Your surname is Xie?" I asked, a little surprised.

"What's so strange about this, my father's surname is Xie, my grandfather's surname is Xie, and our ancestors in Cangwu Village are all surnamed Xie." Xie Ming pursed his lips and read a long list.

The Empress and I looked at each other, and we were both a little surprised.

Since the ancestors of Cangwu Village are all surnamed Xie, then if nothing else, the Demon Dao Patriarch must also be surnamed Xie.

And I could clearly feel that there was a wonderful blood echo between me and the group of children in front of me, although it was the first time I saw them, there was a natural sense of intimacy. This made me even more sure that the Demon Dao Patriarch's surname was undoubtedly Xie.

Xie is a pictograph, and there is a record of making a surname in the oracle bone inscription. Although I knew that I had a deep relationship with the Demon Dao Patriarch, I never thought that the Demon Dao Patriarch would have the same surname as me.

Dao Ancestor has no name, and the Demon Dao Ancestor didn't even leave his name, and when he suddenly learned his surname at this moment, he was inevitably a little excited.

The Empress talked to the children for a while, and asked them who would like to entertain us, and the children immediately fell silent.

"Why, don't you all like your sister?" The empress asked with a pretended sadness.

"Cangwu Village does not accept tourists." Xie Ming lowered his head and whispered.

"We are not outsiders, this brother is also surnamed Xie, and he is your family." The empress said.

"Then you wait here, let's go back and ask the old village chief first." Xie Ming said.

"Well, no matter how long it takes, we'll wait. By the way, when you meet the old village chief, remember to tell him the name of this brother. ”

"What's his name?" Xie Ming asked.

"Xie Lan." The Empress looked at me with a smile and said my name.

Xie Ming ran back to the village with a group of children, and the empress and I continued to wait at the entrance of the village.

With our supernatural means, we can go to the Yellow Spring.

However, this is the hometown of the Demon Dao Patriarch, and it has become a sacred place in our hearts.

I think so, and it's the same in the empress's heart.
