The upper plains of the underworld, the capital of the Jade Emperor.

The sound of the oracle bell suddenly hit the sky, and the magnificent bell echoed in the sky above the imperial capital, for a long time, the two imperial capitals opened to the left and right of the door, and a column of oracle officials driving the owl beast flew out from it, and a group of people galloped down all the way in the direction of the Central Plains of the underworld.

Five royal owl beasts wearing gilded armor flew over the upper plains of the underworld, and arrived at the lost town in one hundred and eight towns in the Central Plains in a blink of an eye, and the five oracle officials drove the owl beasts to hang high above the Yue Wang's Mansion on the outskirts of the town, and the clear sky was covered by the huge wings spread out by the beasts, which immediately attracted countless people in the town to gather and watch.

"War Immortal Yue Fei and the people's daughter Nie Xiaofeng are coming to wait for the order!" as the first singing commander drank, the bronze door of Yue's Mansion was opened, and Yue Fei, Nie Xiaofeng, Fan Qing'er, Nie Meiniang and others stepped out one after another, and listened to the commandment.

"Fengtian carrier, the Emperor of the Underworld said, the three million Qiyin army of the alien god Holmium Zun invaded the imperial capital again, and now decreed, the immortal Yue Fei of the underworld was promoted to the top ten immortal zun, the same as the demigod, and led the seven million soldiers and horses of the underworld to go to the battle in person. Nie Xiaofeng, a folk girl, has different talents, has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, first frustrated the wild emperor, and then descended to the Buddha, mercy and grace according to the ancients, can be used by heaven, and now he is selected as the 5,317th Dynasty Zuofu Prime Minister of the Underworld, and Yue Zun went to the god war together, and set off the next day, Qin this!"

"Xie Cao Longen!" Yue Fei took the lead in knocking the leader's order, and Nie Xiaofeng, who was kneeling on the side, was stunned, as if he had heard it wrong.

"Lord Yue! Lord Yue, you are the prime minister! You are going to be the prime minister of the Underworld!!" Fan Qing'er shouted excitedly, shaking Nie Xiaofeng's arm vigorously.

Nie Meiniang was surprised and delighted, and bowed to the sky with a loud voice: "Xie Cao Longen, Xie Cao Longen! Xiaofeng has accepted the order!"

Luo Xuan hurried back to the Jialan Temple in the lower plains of the underworld, Chen Tianxiang's head had long been missing in the Baicao Pond, but there was a note from him posted on the stake by the pool, and he took a look, it turned out that Tianxiang had recovered all his physique by virtue of the effect of Tiansheng's medicine, and he waited for himself here every day, and it was inevitable to talk about it, and he ran out to find him again as usual on this day, and he would return at night.

Luo Xuan knew that the apprentice was fine, put his mind at ease, and looked back to see that the dew in the water leak was almost empty, and it was getting late, and Chen Tianxiang would return at any time. Thinking that his appearance was not suitable for anyone to see now, he closed the temple gate and quickly left.

As soon as he got off the top of Soul Mountain, he saw Chen Tianxiang from a distance, and he rushed back from the col in frustration, Luo Xuan didn't want to collide with him, so he turned around and copied a mountain path all the way around the back of the ice-covered Soul Mountain.

The front foothills of the Soul Mountain are already gloomy and cold, but compared to the frozen mountains of the mountains, it is as if they are in the two worlds of the south and the north, and most of the wilderness features of the lower plains of the underworld are also like this.

In the icebergs of these underworld wildernesses, snow storms continue all year round, and they don't stop all year round. Luo Xuan faced the wind and snow on his head, and walked all the way along a narrow path between the two icebergs, and on both sides of him were walls of icebergs that were as smooth as mirrors and more than 10,000 feet high.

The snow was rampant in the sky, and the knife-like cold air scraped on his face, so painful that even his eyeballs seemed to be gouged out. He wanted to turn back the way he came, but when he thought that Chen Tianxiang had been with him for the longest time in the world, even if he could use the painting technique to change his current appearance, if he was collided with by the sky, he would detect any clues, and he would take his life in vain, so he had to grit his teeth and walk down this long snowy mountain road.

Luo Xuan walked carefully, and now he has Qiankun steel stationed in his bones, his legs and feet are much heavier and more stable than when he was a molten spirit, and the bone injuries that were beaten into the steel bars alive by five hundred Tanding are not as difficult as at the beginning, but sometimes if the steps are too big and too violent, it will inevitably produce severe pain that affects the whole body, and now these have become the skills that he must master to control the Qiankun steel in his body.

The snowstorm in the sky was too big to fly through, Luo Xuan had to insist on walking on the land, he groped all the way to the mirror-like mountain wall and climbed forward, until he suddenly touched a protruding hard object in his hand, and when he looked down, it was a copper hammer full of ice picks that was pestling out of the ice wall.

Luo Xuan looked into the iceberg along the copper hammer, and couldn't help but be surprised, only to see a tall Arhat Bodhisattva clearly inlaid in the ice wall, this Arhat was more than nine feet tall, the muscles of the whole body were tense, the eyebrows were angry, each holding a copper hammer in his left and right hands, and a pestle came out of the ice wall, and the Bodhisattva was looking upwards like a copper bell.

Luo Xuan looked at his frozen gaze and gasped more and more—he saw that the entire iceberg was full of Arhats and Bodhisattvas with all kinds of weapons in their hands, and there were one hundred and eight of them!

Luo Xuanti climbed all the way along the ice wall, and finally when he reached the top of the iceberg, he saw several Arhats dragging the ankles of a man, who was quietly frozen in the gable, he was close to the peak, but he finally couldn't get out.

Luo Xuan hung in the air at the level of the man, the man looked over the age and was not confused, his eyes were open, his gaze was gentle, and he could see that although he was in danger when he encountered the ice, his expression was not undignified.

This person's hair is in a black bun, and there is a long white on each sideburn, which hides into a thick black hair like a snow line into an inkstone. Luo Xuan knocked on the solid ice with his knuckles, and the limbs of the person inside were stiff and lifeless, and even if he was rescued, it would be difficult to resurrect.

Luo Xuan sighed and jumped to the top of the iceberg along the smooth ice wall, but it was also strange that the snow on the peak here had disappeared, and the snowstorm was nowhere to be seen.

The sun was dazzling, Luo Xuan looked into the distance with one hand in front of his forehead, and the boundary city of the Central Plains of the underworld was already standing high at the end of the mountains, and his eyes could see it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nie Meiniang pushed open the door of the west chamber, and the sound of "squeak" alarmed Nie Xiaofeng in the room.

Seeing her daughter holding a tall rhombic wooden box and looking back at herself like waking up from a dream, Nie Meiniang couldn't help but smile and said:

"You are going to go to the imperial capital with the general tomorrow, how long has it been, and you still don't rest?"

Nie Xiaofeng turned to face the tall Tonghua glasses, stroked the wooden box in his hand, and suddenly sighed. Nie Meiniang's face changed suddenly, she snatched the wooden box from her daughter's hand, and said:

"At the moment of the great cause, aren't you thinking about that evil obstacle again?!What is this, and what kind of iron ring is broken that he has given you in the world?!"

"Mother!" Nie Xiaofeng exclaimed, Nie Meiniang opened the wooden box angrily, and was stunned for a moment, only to see that the box was a purple light, smooth and round ancient painted pottery Xun.

"This, this is ... Nie Meiniang recalled carefully, her expression suddenly brightened, and she unconsciously bloomed with warmth: "I remember! The musical instrument of the Spirited Army, right?"

Nie Xiaofeng sat down slowly, said nothing to the mirror, and said for a while: "It turns out that my mother knows everything." ”

Nie Meiniang picked up Tao Xun and sent it back to the Tonghua glasses, holding Nie Xiaofeng's shoulders and slowly squatting:

"My mother didn't want to talk to you before, because she was afraid that you would be sad in your heart. In fact, since that day when he was attacked by Shi Moudun's thief on the Daxiong Treasure Palace, my mother's soul has not left the yang world, and my mother is reluctant to let you go. You have suffered in the world for a lifetime, and your mother has also been watching you for a lifetime, but at that time, people and ghosts have different paths, and your mother can only watch and protect each other in all kinds of encounters. In the Ailao Mountain, my mother watched with my own eyes how Luo Xuan's evil obstacle treated you and damaged you in every way, and my mother was eager to pick his skin, pump his tendons, and chop him up and feed him to the dogs! Later, you poisoned him, escaped from the mountain, built the Underworld with one hand, and met the army again, my mother was happy! My mother felt that you had finally created a way for yourself to live, and you could start again! Unexpectedly, a few years later, I still let that evil obstacle escape from the pool of blood, and I didn't expect him to be so vicious that he used Jiangxue to deal with you, causing mother and daughter to kill each other!"

Speaking of Mei Jiangxue, Nie Xiaofeng's eyebrows frowned, bowed her head and said nothing, Nie Meiniang grabbed her daughter's arms tightly, and said in a serious voice:

"Xiaofeng, you promise your mother! When you go to the imperial capital, you will marry the general, okay?"

Seeing that Nie Xiaofeng was silent, Nie Meiniang's voice became more and more urgent:

"What are you still hesitating about? You keep saying that you don't care about Luo Xuan anymore, but why do you put off the general's mind again and again? Child! Luo Xuan is yin by nature, vicious and ruthless, and no one in the world can beat him! Don't forget, he was able to use his mother and daughter to deal with you back then, it was by no means a whim, but he has always done whatever it takes to get to this point! Now, who doesn't know that he was burned to a molten soul by the blood pool prison in the Nineteen Prisons of the Underworld, all because he had killed his own mother and forced his biological father to death when he was sixteen years old, so he would be punished by this Buddha! This Luo Xuan is clearly the scum of the Nine Realms, the scum of humanity, your father was blind and entrusted you to him to discipline back then, and this alone will not spare your father for the rest of my life! Now that he has come to you with a dead face, he must have other intentions, and he must want to use your exploits in the underworld to atone for himself。。。。。。 ”

"Mother, the child didn't lie to you, Luo Xuanqi, I really don't care about it anymore, his relationship with me for a lifetime was over as early as twenty years ago on the Ailao Mountain. ”

Nie Xiaofeng calmly interrupted her mother, she reached out and held Tao Xun in front of the Tonghua mirror into her palm, and gently stroked it: "But I can't just promise my mother to marry the general, first, the silkworm blood curse on my body has not been removed, and second, 。。。。。。 I know he's going to be in the underworld, too. ”

"Who? Who is about to enter the underworld?" Nie Meiniang sat next to Nie Xiaofeng, and saw her bowing her head and stroking Tao Xun, as if she was preoccupied, Nie Meiniang suddenly realized, pointed to Tao Xun and said:

"Is it the Spirited Army? It turns out that the person you like in your heart now is the Heroic Army?"

Nie Xiaofeng's complexion pale slightly, and he said lightly: "I don't know who I like in my heart, I only know that I can't marry anyone before the blood curse is solved." ”

Nie Meiniang suddenly smiled: "It's okay! General Fang Cai told me that Cao Jun has found a suitable person to relieve the spell for you, and he is willing。。。。。。! She paused for a moment, suddenly lowered her voice, and said with a smile: "This strange pupil is a child, my mother is also very happy when she sees him in the world! He has a pure temperament, loyalty is hard to find, and what is even more rare is that this son is very talented, far from being comparable to others." Now my son is about to ascend to the throne of the left minister, the future is limitless, if you talk about the long-term... Indeed, he is more worthy of my son!"

Nie Xiaofeng heard her mother's words, and the stones that pressed on her heart also fell to the ground, and the mother and daughter both looked at each other and smiled at each other.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Luo Xuan rushed to the Central Plains to the town, he saw that Nie Xiaofeng's former courtyard was full of armor and guards, and when he rushed to King Yue's mansion, he was already empty. After he inquired around, he learned that Nie Xiaofeng, a daughter of the Central Plains, had been worshiped by the Marquis of the Underworld Dynasty, and had already gone to the Shangyuan Imperial Capital with the newly sealed Ten Immortal Venerable Yue Fei.

Luo Xuan didn't have time to wrap his stomach and hurriedly went on the road again, he flew through the clouds with his feet, passed through the sky over the entire Central Plains Continent, and rushed to the imperial capital of Shangyuan non-stop, but outside the imperial capital, he was forced to descend the clouds on the side of the Obsidian River, which circled the city for seven times and rushed for thousands of miles.

The Imperial Capital of the Dark Dynasty is magnificent, the military industry is majestic, stretching for thousands of miles, and all the creatures outside the capital want to enter the imperial capital, and the first level is to cross the obsidian river that protects the city.

Not only that, but because the imperial capital is the top of the three plains and the most underworld, all spirits who enter the imperial capital from the outside world must follow the formal channels for entering the capital, that is, they must hold the official document officially issued by the imperial capital and the province, and then take the river beast ferry pufferfish to safely cross the obsidian river and land in the imperial capital. The rest of the paths, both in the heavens and on the ground, are guarded by the Divine Imperial Realm, and the slightest touch will shatter your bones.

However, the Obsidian River is inhabited by a group of water ghosts who have not been able to fill the river for many years, and will devour any river-crossing creatures that are not on the back of the giant pufferfish, and include them in the army of water spirits.

Yao is like this, the smuggling industry on the obsidian river is still in full swing, and there are many people who are trying to go to the imperial capital to find a chance because they can't get along in the three plains of the underworld. Many ghost merchants of the Netherworld who provided smuggling services showed their magical powers, and repeatedly came up with various ideas to help the spirits smuggle across the Obsidian River and arrive at the imperial capital without knowing it. And because the ferry pufferfish is the official obsidian river transportation of the Underworld Dynasty, so an endless stream of similar means of transportation has emerged in a variety of ways.

Luo Xuan saw that there were rents of "ferry dolphins", "ferry sharks", "ferry catfish", as well as "ferry emperor ribbon fish", "ferry thousand-legged squid", "ferry stealth squid", "ferry one-day lotus", and even more exaggerated is that there are also "ferry ducks" holding their heads on the shore to shout at guests, and also claim that their services are the safest and the highest success rate.

Some people asked the merchant why, the merchant threw the rope around the duck's neck, and was tied to the giant tail of an official pufferfish rumbling into the water, and the merchant said:

"We are walking on the official road! The obsidian ghost does not dare to go to the official road to intercept food, this ferryfish is huge, and the waves are very high where it passes, and our ferrying duck is relying on its petite size, and can hide in the turbid waves behind the ferry, swim all the way, hide from the sky and cross the sea, and the pufferfish will arrive at the duck! The landing rate is more than seventy percent, who will come and who will come?"

。。。。。。

Luo Xuan walked back and forth along the river a few times, paying attention to the smuggling pattern of a few ferrying ducks, and had an idea in his heart - these people in the underworld did not have thousand-year-old immortal cultivation like him, and they could fly high and low at will, and he planned to wait until nightfall, and take advantage of the dimming light on the river, so he followed a ferryfish into the water, lurking in the turbid waves behind it all the way, and flying low to the other side.

In the middle of the night, the opportunity came. A group of hundreds of family members of officials in the Central Plains with official documents came to cross the river, and a pufferfish emerged from the heart of the obsidian river, slowly swam to the shore and began to pick up passengers.

Luo Xuan followed cautiously, the huge ferryfish slapped its tail into the water, Luo Xuan faced the high splash, took a deep breath, stuck to the water, and slowly suspended with the tail of the pufferfish.

said that it was too late, it was fast, a rope was tied to the tail of the ferryfish, and there was a sound of "poof" falling into the water not far behind him, Luo Xuan looked back, and it turned out to be a ferrying duck who also went into the water.

The people on the duck body hugged the duck's neck, lowered their heads and hid in the waves before and after, outside the waves, millions of obsidian ghosts swam around, and the cry was close at hand, Luo Xuan couldn't see it really through the high water splash, and vaguely felt that the people's clothes seemed to be familiar.

All the way into the heart of the Obsidian River, the water potential is very deep, the waves are rising layer by layer, the huge waves are coming in rows, Luo Xuan flew all the way in front of the ferry duck a few meters away, trying to block most of the waves behind him, and he can already see the brightly lit imperial capital port stack in the distance, getting closer and closer.

Suddenly hearing an "ah" sound behind him, Luo Xuan saw that the rope in the waves was suddenly tightened, and the "pound" broke into two, he hurriedly turned around, and saw a white water ghost squatting on the yellow duck's head, biting off the reins, and several other water ghosts jumped up from the river, and in a blink of an eye, the ducks and the people were thrown into the rolling turbid waves.

Luo Xuan hesitated slightly, turned around and flew back to the place where the common man fell into the water, only to see that the fat yellow ferry duck had already been dragged into the heart of the river by the water ghosts, and all kinds of white and black water spirits surrounded it and gnawed away.

Although the river was dark, the bright bald heads of the people who fell into the water attracted Luo Xuan's attention, and he recognized an old monk rolling in the turbid waves, the old monk had a gray beard, panting, and although he was haunted by the water, he never stopped struggling for a moment, and was still dancing his limbs and swimming desperately in the direction of the pufferfish.

Several water spirits wrapped his eyes and limbs around him from behind like holding a watermelon, the old monk looked up to the sky, opened his mouth to eat a mouthful of water, choked violently, and couldn't see it, Luo Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to fan the left and right water ghosts, lifted him out of the water, and dived away all the way.

The ferryfish patted its giant tail and landed on the shore, and Luo Xuan led the people to sneak into the port city from the lower level of the wide and staggered plank road. As soon as he came out of the water, he picked up the unconscious old monk and looked for a dry and windy rocky place, put him down and was about to leave, when the old monk vomited a big splash, and whispered unconsciously:

"Mei Niang。。。。。。 ”

Luo Xuan froze when he heard this, looked back at it, and suddenly exclaimed, "Master Juesheng!"
