Chapter 1005: The Underworld
Chapter 1005 The Underworld
The night before Ye Qingcheng's wedding, the Cold Ice City was completely boiling, during this period, no matter who it was, they could come to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for a cup of wine, and the inside and outside of the City Lord's Mansion had been crowded.
In the main building in the City Lord's Mansion, there was a table of dinner that was not very pleasant.
A long table was placed in the middle of the room, Ye Qingcheng sat at one end, and Miyagawa Xue sat at the other, and the two sat without talking.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Second brother, come in. Ye Qingcheng said.
Liu Beishui, who was slightly drunk, immediately pushed open the door and walked in. As soon as Liu Beishui entered the house, he found that the atmosphere was a little stiff.
"Did the eldest brother and sister-in-law quarrel?" Liu Beishui smiled unkindly, "Since you know each other, I haven't seen you quarrel." β
Ye Qingcheng smiled reluctantly and said, "I really didn't expect that she was actually a woman who loves vanity. β
"Yo?" Liu Beishui suddenly became interested, and said: "The first time I saw you quarrel, was it because my sister-in-law loves vanity? As a woman who is the king of the human world, what else does she ask for too much?"
"North Water. Miyagawa Xue was so angry that tears rolled in her eyes, "As a member of the dragon clan, I want a dragon car to welcome my relatives tomorrow, what's wrong?"
Liu Beishui was stunned for a moment, then turned his face to look at Ye Qingcheng, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Big brother, is there anything lower than this? Do you plan to use a carriage or a donkey cart to marry your sister-in-law?"
"Dragon Clan-" As soon as Ye Qingcheng spoke, Liu Beishui guessed.
"I know that the dragon clan has experienced a disaster, and there are only some women, children, and cubs left, and they are not able to take on the responsibility of welcoming relatives. Liu Beishui said: "However, we still have the strongest and most handsome dragon. How about I make a bet with you? Let Xiaobai take on the important task of welcoming relatives and pulling the car for his sister-in-law, not only will he not feel embarrassed, on the contrary, he will be honored to take over this task. β
"Really?" Miyagawa Xue's face suddenly improved, and a kind of bird-like joy appeared.
"I'm not a dragon, otherwise, I'd be willing to pull a cart for my sister-in-law. By the way, let the third brother turn into a phoenix, escort you, and do everything possible to make the welcoming team a little stronger. Liu Beishui said.
"It's just to get married, why bother brothers so much?" Ye Qingcheng said.
Liu Beishui's expression changed suddenly, and he said seriously: "Sister-in-law has been in Cold Ice City for more than ten years, and she has only been with you for a few days?
"Beishui, don't say it. Miyagawa covered her mouth and choked. Then she stood up and walked briskly out of the room.
Liu Beishui sighed and said, "Big brother, you are confused." My sister-in-law has experienced so many disasters, and she still cares about that little vanity?"
"What about her?" Ye Qingcheng said puzzled.
She just wanted to give a little explanation to the remaining 10,000 women and children of the Dragon Clan. Liu Beishui said: "The dragon clan was the first to resist the army of hell for the sake of the cold ice city, and finally the whole army was annihilated. If you marry their Dragon Emperor casually, how chilling will it be for the women and children of the Dragon Clan who love face? Believe it or not, you will come back 10,000 years later, and your sister-in-law will still be waiting for you! I also know that the closer you get married, the more you will be worried about the other girl in your heart, but since you have made a decision, you must be resolute, and you must forget when you should forget. Also, we owe the entire Ice City to the Dragons, and we can't give them back the dragons we killed, but we can do everything we can to make them feel proud to be a member of the Dragons tomorrow. β
Hearing Liu Beishui's words, Ye Qingcheng suddenly understood, and at the same time felt deeply guilty.
"I'll take care of the wedding. Ye Qingcheng said: "You think more comprehensively than me. β
"That's right. β
Suddenly, Ye Qingcheng stood up, his face full of suspicion.
"What's wrong?" asked Liu Beishui.
"Why is he here?"
"Who?"
"Zen Ziqing. β
As he spoke, Ye Qingcheng and Liu Beishui stood up. They flew straight away from the Ice City and arrived at an open field in the north of the city.
At night, scattered snow was flying, a bonfire was burning on the snow, a jar of wine was cooking, and Zen Ziqing was gobbling up roast chicken.
"It's the first time I've seen an immortal so greedy for worldly things. Ye Qingcheng said with a smile.
Zen Ziqing appeared at this time, which surprised him.
Zen Ziqing put down the roast chicken, hugged the wine jar on the bonfire, and drank it directly.
"Huh. Zen Ziqing put down the wine jar, looked at the brilliant cold city ice in the distance, and said, "In the human world, there is only this city left?"
"Give us a thousand years, and we can bring prosperity back to the world. Liu Beishui said.
"That's it. Zen Ziqing said: "I'm not interested in the human world, and I'm not here to chat with you. β
"Then what are you doing here?" Ye Qingcheng asked.
Zen Ziqing took out a small lizard from his arms, put it in the palm of his hand, and said to it, "Come out." β
As he spoke, the body of the seemingly ordinary little lizard suddenly stiffened, and then, a gray flame floated out of its body, and its body quickly turned into rubble. I saw that the gray flame flew to the snow, and finally transformed into a little old man.
This little old man is just a pale gray soul shadow, he is hunched up, and his posture and appearance are a bit like a monkey. To everyone's surprise, there was a red bird mark on his back. It is very similar to the symbol of the Grim Reaper who was killed by Ye Qingcheng decades ago.
"This isβ" Liu Beishui asked puzzled.
"This one's origin is terrifying, but he only has his beginnings left. Zen Ziqing introduced: "He is the master of the Hellfire, the first owner of Immortal Island, and the person of the Heavenly Machine. β
Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but be shocked, and said: "I have seen the sculpture of the ancestor twice, and its majestic momentum is not weaker than the Immortal Fire Ancestor, but when I see it today, why does the ancestor look likeββ"
Like a lewd monkey. However, Ye Qingcheng did not say it.
"The sculpture has been slightly embellished. Tianji Daoren smiled awkwardly.
Then, they sat around the bonfire and told some of the mysteries that had been bothering Ye Qingcheng.
It happened 100,000 years ago, on the way to the rise of the Hellfire.
In fact, the Tianji Daoist was not the first generation of the island master of Immortal Island, he was just the first true immortal to rule the Immortal River again after the destruction of the gods. When the Hellfire rose, although the fairy island was lonely, there were still some immortals. The first time the Tianji Dao people saw the Hellfire, they were extremely happy with him, and they hated to cultivate it as their own son. The cultivation speed of the Hellfire is also very fast, and under his guidance, he soon became a true immortal, and his cultivation was close to that of the Heavenly Machine.
At this time, the ambition of the Hellfire was gradually revealed, and the contradictions between their master and apprentice gradually increased. What directly led to the breakdown of their master-apprentice relationship was Chidori, that is, the god of death. She is the granddaughter of the Heavenly Machine Daoist and a very ambitious fellow, but she was finally killed by the Hellfire, and her body and head were sealed in the two Dragon Slaying Palaces by the Hellfire. Before killing Qiandao Xuan, the Heavenly Machine Dao people had actually seen through the essence of the Hellfire, and had designed to frame the Hellfire once, but the Hellfire avoided the danger by relying on the "premonition of death" (the unique supernatural power of the Nuwa clan).
After Chidori-Xuan was killed, Hellfire stole the Five Elements Divine Urn of the Heavenly Machine Daoist, and then openly opposed his teacher.
Hellfire was the first to sneak into hell, hunted the immortal source of hell (the technique is similar to that of a ghost), and became a demigod. The ending of the Heavenly Machine Daoist can be imagined, the Hellfire killed him and dominated the Immortal Island. Later, the Hellfire slaughtered the Thousand Souls of the Human Realm, expelled the Nuwa Clan, built the Dragon Slaying Palace, and sealed the soul of the Tianji Daoist in the Wind Dragon Hall (the sculpture of the Tianji Daoist in the Wind Dragon Hall is his tomb).
At the height of the fire, the demon god awakened and frightened all the fairies (including the fire) into fleeing like ants. However, the Nuwa clan's unique bloodline supernatural power, the premonition of death, saved him again, allowing him to successfully escape to the dark prison and seek the protection of the five ancestors.
Poor Heavenly Machine Daoist, after nearly 100,000 years, finally broke the seal and rushed out. But he was just a revenant, and he didn't have much strength. His only wish is to save his granddaughter, Chidori. But he didn't know that Chidori Xuan's body and head were placed in the two dragon slaying halls respectively.
In the end, he strayed into the Fire Dragon Hall and remained trapped there until Zen Ziqing appeared there. The devastated Zen Ziqing, after killing Bai Ze and eating it, was also desperate.
However, they should not be killed, Ye Qingcheng once again opened the door of the Fire Dragon Hall and saved them.
In other words, the Bai Ze that Ye Qingcheng saw was actually a transfiguration of the Heavenly Machine Dao people. And it was the appearance of the Heavenly Machine Daoist that gave Chan Ziqing the opportunity to become an immortal.
After listening to the words of the Heavenly Machine, Liu Beishui sighed, these seemingly fragmentary fragments can be strung together into an ancient legend. He was silent for a moment and said, "What kind of master has what kind of apprentice." Although you said it very vaguely, it was you who saw that the talent of the Hellfire was amazing, and I was afraid that the sky would not be able to control him, so I attacked him first, and then he broke through the barrier in his heart and began to fight against you. In the end, you can imagine that you end up with this ending. The body of the demon mother (Chidori) was destroyed by the eldest brother, and the head was also killed by the eldest brother, you won't come to seek revenge, right?"
The Heavenly Machine Daoist sighed desolate and said, "That's it." β
"As for him, he was going to take away the body of the last Thousand Souls, but the Hellfire has found it again. Chan Ziqing said: "He can't stay in the Heavenly Tomb anymore, so he can only run away again." In heaven and earth, there is no place for him to flee for his life, and his last thoughts are broken, so he can only choose to flee to the underworld, and it is better to be reincarnated than to be scattered. Before leaving, he had one last wish. β
"The last Thousand Souls?" Liu Beishui wondered.
"Xiao Wu. Ye Qingcheng said: "She has the bird symbol of the Thousand Souls Clan on her body. β
"Where?" asked Liu Beishui in surprise.
"On her chest and back, it was there. Ye Qingcheng had suspected it before, but now he was even more convinced.
"Have you seen it?!" Liu Beishui was even more surprised.
"What do you think?" Ye Qingcheng said: "I saw it when she didn't transform into a woman, and when she was a little monkey. β
"That's it. Liu Beishui said with relief.
Zen Ziqing and the Tianji Daoist glanced at each other, the Tianji Daoist nodded, and Zen Ziqing took out a dark black ancient bowl with a blood bird printed on the bottom.
"This is an immortal dissolving weapon, just like the god-making urn in the hands of the Hellfire, it is a treasure. At the beginning, this old man led me to the Heavenly Tomb, where there was a fairy thunder spirit source, and he couldn't devour it, so he cheapened me. Zen Ziqing said: "I've seen that little monkey, it's called Ranwu, right? The mysterious Five Elements Jade in her body is actually a Five Elements Immortal Source, and this old ghost originally wanted to take away her body." However, there is no need for this now, and the Hellfire is about to be killed...... Congratulations, there's one more fairy soon. β
Liu Beishui looked at the ancient bowl in Zen Ziqing's hand, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"They can believe it. Ye Qingcheng nodded and said. At this time, there is no need for the Heavenly Machine Dao people to play tricks anymore.
"Let her have more little monkeys, and don't let the bloodline of our Thousand Souls Clan be extinct. Tianji Daoren said sadly.
Subsequently, Zen Ziqing and the Heavenly Machine Daoist did not stay for long, and chose to go to the underground Styx immediately.
He looked at their bleak backs and disappeared into the snowy night, Ye Qingcheng and Liu Beishui sat by the bonfire and didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, Liu Beishui stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "I forgot to ask him, the method of using the immortal dissolution!"
............
The River Styx, hidden deep underground.
It is a giant river leading to the underworld, a little smaller than the Immortal River, but more majestic. The turbid yellow water, much like corpse fluid, rolled in from the east and rushed to the west. At the westernmost end of the River Styx, there is an unusually large and magnificent gate, sealed on the River Styx, and the waves in the River Styx rush through under the door.
This is the gate of the River Styx, and on that side is the underworld, where the dead go.
"As long as you throw it into the river, you will be irreversibly swept into the underworld. On the banks of the River Styx, Zen Ziqing said.
"I'm still a little unwilling. The Heavenly Machine Daoist sighed.
"Then what can you do?" Zen Ziqing's gaze was always fixed on the magnificent gate of the River Styx, and he said curiously: "Why is there a door in the underworld?
"You just think of it as an ornament. The Heavenly Machine Daoist said, "Since the time of the gods, it has not been opened. β
At this moment, on the banks of the rushing river and the river Styx, a terrible fire of blood suddenly rose without warning. If you look closely, it is not fire, but more like a kind of fire-colored dust and smoke, swaying faintly, frightening the Tianji Daoist and Zen Ziqing, and their faces turned pale in an instant.
This is the sign of the Hellfire.
"We master and apprentice have finally met again. Stygian Flame carried the ancient spear and walked towards them.
As early as the moment he appeared, he sealed the Heavenly Machine Daoist and Zen Ziqing, making it difficult for their bodies to move.
"Evil Barrier, you don't even give you the chance to reincarnate as a teacher?" the Heavenly Machine Daoist scolded angrily.
"You just had a chance, but you rubbed it off. Stygian said regretfully.
"It's over, it's over. Zen Ziqing secretly said in his heart: "I will also be killed by this old ghost." β
Suddenly, the Hellfire raised the ancient spear, the tip of the spear pointed at Zen Ziqing and the Heavenly Machine Daoist, and it only took a ten-thousandth of an eye to make their souls scatter. However, the next scene shocked the Stygian Fire.
Thundered!!!
A heavy loud noise came, and the gate of the magnificent underworld actually opened a gap. Then, a bamboo raft drove out slowly against the turbid yellow waters of the River Styx.
"Hurry, hurry!" a crisp, joyful, and expectant girlish voice came from the River Styx.
Hellfire immediately turned his eyes, his eyes full of incomprehension and jealousy.
The bamboo raft sailed upstream, out of the underground.
On the bamboo raft stood the figure of a monk, holding a long bamboo pole, leisurely supporting the raft. There was also a girl sitting cross-legged on the raft, she had fiery red, beautiful hair, eyes as clear as a heavenly pool, two small dimples on the side of her mouth, and she smiled very cutely.
"Sora, I'm happy to die now. The girl was surprised with unimaginable surprise and said, "I'm going to see my brother soon, haha!"
(Note: I got married on May 2nd, and this time is too busy.) Therefore, the three days of May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd will stop being updated. Please understand~~)
