Chapter 13: The Soul Fire of the Underworld
When the earth god saw this, he shouted:
"With the blood on the fingertips as the guide, the spiritual power around the body as the vessel, and the breath and cultivation of the mind, the four colors can return to their places."
Several people closed their eyes and mobilized the spiritual power of their whole bodies to protect the blood dripping from their fingertips. Suddenly, the four directions of east, south, west, and north suddenly rose blue, red, white, and black, lighting up the four corners of the six-pointed star. The earth god nodded slowly and said:
"You guys still have a clue about the yellow and yellow colors?"
Mu Ning Jiu replied:
"There is still a piece of remnant and soul fire that has not yet been obtained." Hearing this, the earth god frowned:
"It's pretty simple. But this soul fire...... It is one of the seven tricks of Pangu. After the battle between the human and demon gods tens of thousands of years ago, Pangu fell, and the six souls scattered in the world caused mountain fires, and the remaining ones turned into lights on the Nai He Bridge, guiding the ghosts who drank Meng Po soup to reincarnate. If you want to use this soul fire, you have to go to the Yellow Spring Realm to see it. ”
"The realm of Yellow Springs? Isn't that Hades? Tina exclaimed. Mu Ningjiu frowned and asked:
"My lord, our bodies are not dead, our souls are not scattered, how did we go to the underworld?" The earth god groaned for a long time and said:
"It's up to you to do this."
Mu Ningjiu asked in surprise:
"Look at me?"
"The princesses of the Phantom Patriarch of the past generations have the responsibility of being in charge of other people's dreams. Ordinary people naturally cannot go to the underworld, but if they use the dreams of dying people as a medium, they can enter the underworld within twelve hours, while their souls are still gone. ”
"And such a thing? How come I've never heard of ......," Mu Ningjiu muttered.
"It should be noted, however, that if the soul of the person is dissipated after twelve hours, the medium will be closed. If you haven't gotten out of your dreams, you'll be bad. ”
Shang Jin's eyebrows jumped, and he blurted out:
"What will happen?"
The earth god glanced at him and sighed:
"The soul is trapped in the underworld, and it will soon be discovered by the Yin soldiers, so it is nothing more than two ends: being beaten into the dungeon by the king of Hades, and immortal life cannot be reincarnated; Corrupted by yin energy, the soul is wiped out. Shang Jin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned his head to look at Mu Ningjiu, whose eyes trembled, and asked for a while:
"My lord, is there no other way?"
"It's ...... The only way. Therefore, in the past hundred years, if the Illegal Array was opened by the Heavenly Emperor himself, no mortal had ever succeeded. It's all because of this soul fire, which is almost unattainable. You should give up your life or give up, think about it. ”
Everyone was silent. Mu Ningjiu took a deep breath and was about to speak, when Shang Jin stopped him with his hand and asked:
"My lord, is she the only one on this trip?" The earth god nodded:
"It stands to reason that only the Phantom Princess has such abilities, but," he pondered for a moment,
"If you really want to go with you, you can't do it."
Shang Jinfeng's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly:
"What's the solution?"
"In the wedding ceremony of the Phantom Patriarch Princess of the past dynasties, both parties need to take each other's hard work as a guide to complete the ceremony. Correspondingly, there will be a mark on the horse's body, which represents the fusion of spiritual power, and at the same time, it also bears the responsibility of taking charge of the dream with the princess, so it is natural to enter the underworld with it. Shang Jin looked at Mu Ningjiu deeply, and then bowed deeply to the earth god:
"What Lord Earth God said today is very important, and Shang has thanked everyone in the Shenzhou Continent and even the four clans here. There is not much time left, so I will take my leave. Hearing this, the earth god took out a token full of red gold from his bosom and handed it to Shang Jin:
"When do you come to this great wilderness and need to find this ancient magic circle, use it to summon me, and put it away."
Shang Jin took it, and he disappeared on the loess in the ravines in the next moment. Shen Wan raised her eyes and looked at Mu Ningjiu:
"You've decided?" Mu Ningjiu nodded lightly.
"Be careful." Beigong Han said in a deep voice,
"If you can't get that soul fire, that's it, don't miss the time to come back." Shang Jin put his arm around her shoulders and said to them:
"Don't worry." Shen Wan saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly smiled:
"Shang Jin, so we can drink your wedding wine soon?" Shang Jin suddenly remembered when she mentioned this, and turned his head to look at Mu Ningjiu beside him. The latter was stunned for a moment, then hooked his lips and nodded:
"I was going to think about it after I was done with it, but now it's going to be delayed. Sooner or later, though, it's the same. Shang Jin looked down at her, tenderness flashed in her eyes, and a burst of warmth rippled in her heart.
"This trip is not easy, I have something to ask you."
Shen Wan hurriedly answered: "What's the matter?" As long as you say it, Han and I will do our best. ”
"Zuo Sheng is missing, I don't worry about Ye Shi, you have time to accompany her more. She seems to be tough on the outside, and she has no heart all day, but in fact, she holds a lot of things in her heart and doesn't say anything, like a little adult. Most of the cases this time are related to that group of people, I'm afraid she will be injured, you look at it. ”
"Okay." Beigong Han nodded seriously,
"She's our friend, and if you don't say we'll do too." Tina, who was quietly listening to their conversation and couldn't interject, suddenly said:
"Where should the wedding of the Phantom Princess and the King of the Ice City be held? According to the etiquette, the King of Ice City is more powerful, and he should marry the princess as the queen, but in that case, he will have to perform the Ice Clan's great gift, and won't he get the right to dream? ”
Shang Jin frowned, and quickly said:
"It's okay, I can be Ah Jiu's colt." Shen Wan frowned and hesitated:
"But if you become a colt, you won't be able to sit on this throne, otherwise will you want the Ice Clan and the Phantom Clan to merge? Regardless of the outcome, at this juncture, if there is internal strife, internal and external troubles, it will definitely benefit that group of people. Shang Jin pondered for a long time:
"Let me think about it again." Mu Ningjiu held his hand and comforted him softly:
"Don't worry, there's always a way."
……
Phantom Palace.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?" Xiao Luo bowed and asked.
"Come, Xiao Luo," Mousse said, gesturing to the chair beside him,
"I'm just going to talk to you casually today, and you don't have to be informal." When Xiao Luo heard this, his heart suddenly lifted, but he still had a humble smile on his face, and sat down slowly.
"What does the king want to talk about?"
"What do you think, Feng'er, this kid?"
"He ......" As soon as Xiao Luo spoke, the sense of alienation around him faded, and his eyes became gentle:
"When I first saw him, I mistakenly thought he was a playful master, and then after that spiritual power test, he worshipped me as a teacher, and later, when he trained until midnight every day, he was so sleepy that he couldn't do it, but he still held on, I knew that he was very talented, but he paid too much attention to the outside world's discussions, so he pretended to be a hanger to cover up his heart that was seriously hurt by evil words." When Mousse heard this, he was silent for a long time, and let out a long sigh, with complexity flashing in his eyes:
"Alas, although Feng'er has many friends, only you know him so well, even I, as a father, are a little ashamed." Xiao Luo hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, don't say that. As the head of a clan, you already have a lot of things to manage, and you can't spare enough time to get to know Amu, and you have no choice but to do so. ”
Mousse looked at him quietly, his blue eyes unfazed but unable to guess his thoughts. Xiao Luo lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, and the nervous emotions spread all the way to his throat and choked him.
In the middle of the night, Mousse spoke:
"Xiao Luo, since I brought you to the Phantom Clan, most of your time has been spent working on the big and small things of the Phantom Clan. I'm ashamed to say that after so many years, we haven't asked you what you really want, whether you want to stay in the Phantom Clan...... Now that Feng'er has the ability to succeed to the throne, you should think about it for yourself. Xiao Luo frowned, and said loudly:
"Everything Xiao Luo has done so far has been voluntary. Your Majesty, Xiao Luo thinks it's good to be like this now. ”
"Xiao Luo, you sacrificed most of your life for Feng'er, have you ever thought about what you should do if Feng'er inherits the throne and marries the queen?" Xiao Luo's heart sank, and his eyes flashed a gloom: so many days of carefree paralyzed his reason, making him not think about Amu's identity and future affairs, naively thinking that as long as the two of them were together, everything could be solved. Mousse's words seemed to give him a slap in the face. In any case, Amu is going to inherit the throne. And his son, in the future, will inherit his throne. He, Xiao Luo, was just one of his many friends, and he wouldn't be the one standing by his side anyway.
"Kid, you put this token away. It allows you to come and go as you please. If I'm not mistaken, it's your parents' day in two days, and they must miss you if you haven't been to see them in years. Xiao Luo raised his head suddenly, his voice trembling:
"Didn't you say, Your Lord, that they died in a fire, and that their bones were not left?" Mousse let out a long sigh, and pain flashed in his eyes:
"I ordered someone to build an earthen tomb in the place of the fire, and for so many years, there will be a place to worship. I didn't tell you, because I was afraid that you would fall into the gloomy state of the year. Now that chaos is coming, everything is unpredictable. I'm afraid that if I don't tell you again, I won't have a chance. Xiao Luo took a deep breath, held back the tears in his eyes, and took the token:
"King Xie, Xiao Luo knows." As soon as he turned around, a faint sigh suddenly came from behind him:
"There is no time limit for this trip, if you want to stay in the Shenzhou Continent, we will respect your decision. After all, that's where you really are. But remember, let Jiu'er's girl bring me a letter. Xiao Luo pursed his lips, nodded imperceptibly, and walked out of the hall door quickly.
"If Feng'er inherits the throne and marries the queen, what should you do?"
Mousse's words kept echoing in his mind, and his heart was so troubled that he didn't even see the oncoming Mu Changfeng.
"Lowe!" The shoulder was slapped heavily, he turned his head in a daze, and when he saw Mu Changfeng, his eyes trembled, and he forcibly hooked a smile, and said:
"Why are you here?" Seeing that he looked lost and depressed, Mu Changfeng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked:
"What's going on?"
