Chapter 2: The Guest Queen of the House
Ranchi Castle, Akatsuki Beppu Mansion, in the garden. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAt this time, there is a picture of the fragrance of spring grass reflected on the man-made waterfall, the picture of blue sky and white clouds, sometimes blue birds passing by, sometimes white clouds floating, sometimes falling flowers. Hades looked carefully at the waterfall in front of him, as if he was looking for a secret in this magnificent picture.
The picture suddenly turned, this is an ordinary thatched house, the wall of the house is hung with a bamboo bow, and the strings made of thick hemp rope are a little worn. Hanging next to this bamboo bow is a spread out of the fur of the spirit beast, although the spirit beast is dead, but this huge fur still reveals the domineering of its life.
The picture turns again, and it is still in this inconspicuous thatched house. At this time, the food in the house was fragrant, and there were three people around the table, one was a middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes, the man looked kind, and was talking to the little girl opposite, and this little girl was the girl who bought Xueji grass this morning.
There was a woman sitting next to the girl, but the face of the woman in this picture was still blurry because of how the Hades King performed the spell.
The king of Hades was very unwilling, and suddenly, the aura around him was churning, like a flying dragon in the sky. The red aura swirled around him, and then he squeezed his hands in his hands, and the words were in his mouth. With just one breath, the aura around Hades' body instantly converged in his eyes. "The blood pupils of the undead are open!"
At this time, Hades' black eyes turned dark red, and the pupils gradually split, revealing two tadpole-like shapes. The two 'tadpoles' bite each other's tails, like a Tai Chi Bagua diagram. The blood pupil of the undead can be seen in reincarnation, looking at the six paths, which is the head of the pupil technique of the Eight Realms, and it is also the identity symbol of the Hades.
But in this way, the blood pupil of the undead still couldn't see the face of the woman in the picture. The Hades King suddenly realized: "It turns out that this person is the mother imagined by Jin Yuan. With that, the Hades King sighed, withdrew his aura and continued to look at the scene in front of him.
The little girl's face was always looking at the woman beside her, and her immature face could be seen to be full of happiness. Suddenly, the picture turned, and it was the woman and the girl flying kites together, watching the sunrise together, and doing farm work in the fields together.
At this time, the sky gradually darkens in the picture, and the bright moon and starry sky take over the blue sky and white clouds. Suddenly, the picture fades away, and the waterfall returns to normal.
"Hades King, the Qingkui Ghost Emperor has invited the Jin Yuan of the Jin Village to the mansion. ”
"I see. Hades took out a jade pendant from his bosom and threw it into the air, and the jade pendant disappeared into thin air. "The aura of my house is harmful to mortals, so temporarily let this soul spirit jade be worn by that little girl, and then escort her here. Instructed to go down to the mansion and arrange for those who are high in the cultivation of the dead spirits to be mortals, and those who are low in cultivation to go to the spiritual spring in the backyard to rest. Remember, don't let the little girl see things she shouldn't see. ”
"The subordinates receive the order. ”
In front of the gate of Akatsuki Beppu, a carriage had just stopped, and a priest in the palace hurriedly sorted out his clothes and ran to the carriage. "Granny Qing has worked hard all the way, and the master asked me to give this to you. After Si Yan finished speaking, he handed the soul spirit jade that the Hades King had just thrown to Qing Kui, who had stepped out of the carriage.
Qing Kui took the soul spirit jade and glanced at it, and knew the truth.
"Girl, it's here. Did you sleep comfortably all the way?"
The girl who bought Xueji grass looked out of the car sleepily, and there was a luxurious mansion in front of her, with four big characters written on the door plaque, the font was resolute, and the pen was like a dragon and a phoenix.
Qingkui saw that the little girl was a little shy, so she didn't hurry or slow to continue her words: "We have arrived, and the towel girl has slept comfortably all the way." ”
Jin Yuan's face flushed, no one had ever cared about her so much except for her father. "Shu ...... Comfortable. ”
"Okay, then you can pin this jade pendant on your body, this is the rule in our house, and guests need to wear this when they visit. ”
The girl was a little nervous when she wore the jade pendant for the first time, thinking that this is the difference between big families? After a while, Qingkui introduced the little girl into the door, and as soon as she entered the door, the little girl blushed with shame, and a pair of watery eyes only dared to stare at the road under her feet. The little girl is like this because the people in this house seem to be staring at her strangely, and some of their expressions are very funny, like harlequins in the troupe. Some good-looking maids still covered their mouths and laughed, and some even danced in the wind in a bewitching manner.
Seeing these freshnesses, the girl was not only curious, but also nervous and shy. However, after walking a few ways, she found that those subordinates were much more normal, and she didn't realize that it was actually Qingkui in front of her who secretly gave orders to those necromancers who could finally turn into mortal bodies.
After walking for a moment, Qing Kui led him to a garden, which was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants. This scene reminded her of where she seemed to have seen it here. She suddenly remembered, wasn't this the place she had dreamed of just now!
"Master, we've invited you. ”
Standing in front of Qingkui was a handsome boy in his twenties, who was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, his eyes were like stars, but his expressionless face looked a little indifferent.
"You're the girl?"
"Yes, meet the old ...... Master. ”
The corners of Childe's mouth curved slightly. "My surname is Qi, and you call me Qi Gongzi. ”
"Sir, I went down without any orders. Qing Kui saw that the son nodded and bowed, and then retreated.
After Qingkui left, the little hand of the scarf was quietly entangled behind her back, and she was so nervous for a while that she didn't know what to do.
"Don't be nervous, girl, I invited you to come to the house to apologize to you in person. It was my negligence that you bought Xueji grass this morning, which caused Granny Qing to indirectly eat your name, I hope you will forgive me. After speaking, the son bowed to the little girl.
This worship frightened the little girl a lot, and she didn't know what to do.
"Now, I want to ask the girl something. ”
Jianyuan's face was so red that she was about to emit green smoke, and her mind was full of blank space. "You, you say. ”
"I want to ask if you were born about the twelfth year of the Apocalypse?"
"Huh?" the girl couldn't wait to find a place to drill down, a big girl's family was asked by a man about her birthday, isn't that to be a matchmaker?
Childe understands that this question is indeed unruly. "Girl, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to find out what year and month you were born, so as to solve a question in my mind. ”
"No, I was born in the fourteenth year of the Apocalypse. ”
Childe felt a sense of loss when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sigh. "But for a thousand years, when the melon grown-up goes, who will I talk to. Childe's sad words floated in the air, whirling for a long time, so not desolate.
Time flickered, and it was unitary time. At this time, the sky is yellow, and the outline of the round sun and the mountains in the distance form a magnificent painting. Soon after sending someone to send the girl away, the Hades King came to the main hall.
"I'm sorry, Mei Shizun has been waiting for a long time. Hades turned back into the appearance of a real child, his body was light, and he floated to the main chair of the Double Treasure Chair and sat down.
Mei Zongjian, the Heavenly Dao Saint of the Immortal Realm, was smiling, but the two apprentices beside him, a man and a woman, were angry, and a pair of eyes were bursting with sharp sword qi.
The Hades King didn't care about pretending to ask: "May I ask what Mei Shizun is doing this time?"
Immortal Heavenly Dao Saint Mei Zongjian smiled lightly. "The Hades King is in charge of the Eight Realms of Necromancy, and he is busy, so he should not remember. This time I came the same as the previous two times, and I hope that the Hades can come to participate in the feast of the three worlds of immortals, gods and Buddhas in half a year. The deity bears a heavy life, and I hope that the king of Hades will live up to my trust. ”
The Hades King looked immature, but there was an inviolable majesty between his eyebrows. "Mei Shizun, I don't want to take on your mission, but I can't do anything. The ghost world is different from the other worlds, and your three worlds of immortals, gods, and Buddhas jointly deal with the demon world and the demon world, which is a blessing in the human world, and I admire it. But my ghost world is not tainted by living things, and it has been so for thousands of years, and it is still the same today. ”
"Stinky little ghost, don't be embarrassed!" The male apprentice beside Mei Zongjian, the Heavenly Dao Saint of the Immortal Realm, finally couldn't hold back. "A thousand years ago, didn't Dongming, the last Hades King of your Ghost Realm, also participate in the War of the Eight Realms in the end! My master is one of the two world-honored people of Shu Mountain, and his status is second only to Taizun Immortal Ancestor, you are just a ghost realm sect leader What kind of big shelf!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard a sound out of thin air, and between the next breaths, his left cheek was seriously red and swollen, and a trace of blood was already oozing. And half of his face was no longer the slightest perceptual. Suddenly, the sword came out of its sheath, and the sword woman of the Immortal Heavenly Dao Saint Mei Zong drew her sword and stabbed it in front of the Hades. Before she could point her sword at Hades, there was another empty sound, and the sword in the woman's hand had already flown out of the hall and stabbed on a tree in the courtyard. The tree exploded to smithereens instantly, and the sword stabbed into the stone wall with a clatter, and only then stopped humming.
This was just two breaths, and the breath in the main hall instantly solidified. The Hades King is like nothing, drinking tea by himself, and not showing the mountain dew.
The immortal realm heavenly dao saint Mei Zongjian saw that his two high-ranking disciples were defeated in only one moment, Zhong Shili was nothing, because after all, there was no defense, but the sword of Qianyang Yuxue condensed her lifelong cultivation, and the sword was the ninth decisive battle of the upper sword technique of Shu Mountain, and the power of the Nine Immortal Sword was extraordinary, and it was easy to break if she didn't want to. It seems that the ghost world is really not as simple as the legend says!
Mei Zongjian, the Heavenly Dao Saint of the Immortal Realm, got up and bowed to the Hades King first to apologize, and then bowed to the Void, showing his admiration to the master who had just made a move.
"The deity is rude, the disciples are not strict, and I hope that the Hades King and the master will forgive. I apologize for replacing wine with tea. After finishing speaking, the Immortal Heavenly Dao Sage Mei Zongjian's right hand flicked slightly, the teacup on the table slowly floated up, and a cup of tea turned into a trickle and trickled into the sword mouth of the Immortal Heavenly Dao Sage Mei Zong, and then gently swept the teacup with his long sleeves and gradually floated back to the table. During this period, the Immortal Heavenly Dao Saint Mei Zongjian did not touch the teacup in the slightest.
"Now that the Hades King has already expressed his position, it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, and the deity still has trivial matters to do, so I will not accompany him. After finishing speaking, without waiting for the Hades King to reply, he flicked his sleeves and the three of them turned into a sword light and flew into the sky, and disappeared in the next moment.
Soon after the three of the Immortal Heavenly Dao Saint Mei Zongjian turned into sword light and flew away, the teacup that was originally used by the Immortal Heavenly Dao Saint Mei Zongjian gradually turned into dust at this time, and finally completely turned into a pile of dust, leaving the word 'Zhong' on the table.
The Hades King smiled coldly at the sight of the words on the table. "Whether my ghost realm is neutral or not, how can it be up to you, a Heavenly Dao Saint, to have the final say. ”
At this time, a black-haired man wearing a red envelope gradually appeared in the void in the main hall, and the man knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Hades, just let them go?"
"You've done a good job just now, I'm still neutral in the ghost realm for the time being, and the balance of the eight realms is the right way. ”
The cold light in the corners of the black-haired man's eyes gradually receded, and he raised his angular face to look at the Hades in the chair.
"Hades King, the Seven Palaces Yan Jun has come to say, saying that the necromancer is not allowed to enter the six roulettes, and it may affect the entire Hades, please go quickly. ”
Hades's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the two of them turned into a dark red light and disappeared into the ground.
At this moment, at the entrance of Jin's Village, Jianyuan got out of the carriage, said goodbye to Qingkui and walked straight to the village. The breeze blows around Jinshi Village, and it is very cool on people's faces. Like a mountain spring sweeping over the skin, refreshing people's hearts.
"Daddy, I'm back!" Jin Yuan happily pushed open the door. Suddenly, a familiar smell wafted into her nostrils. This is the smell of blood! At first, I thought it was my father who had hit some big monster beast back, but then I felt more and more that it was wrong! This kind of bloody smell is the smell of human blood! Jinyuan, who often hunts, understands the smell of blood very well!
She ran into the house in a panic, ran into the main room, and then dried up for a while, and suddenly there was a bang, and tears poured down like water.
In the house, the father of the scarf was lying on the ground, and the head of the upper body was crooked on the ground by the window, and the facial features on the head were still extremely angry. And on the bed on the side was the corpse of the thin-eyebrow woman ****, the corpse looked frightened, its eyes were wide open, the tongue sticking out of its mouth was black, and there was a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of the mouth, and there was a trace of blood in the saliva.
She moved to her father's corpse, her trembling hands wanting to hug her father's corpse. But the body just couldn't control it, a strong feeling of vomiting hit, and she couldn't hold back, she spit out a mouthful of filth. Suddenly, I felt someone tap on the back of my neck, and my eyes went black and I fainted to the ground.
When Jinyuan woke up in a daze, she didn't know where she was. The surrounding area was dimly lit, and not far away in the hallway was a burning-out oil lamp, and a moth fluttered its wings and swirled around the oil lamp. It was only then that she found herself handcuffed to a cross stake, her hands, feet, and neck cuffed by cold iron hoops.
The towel was wet and sticky under her feet, and she was suffocated by the smell of blood and the stench of decay. She didn't know where it was, and her instinct for survival made her cry for help. I didn't have the strength to shout, and I didn't see anyone coming. Weak, she observed the environment around her.
There was a dark corridor in front of him, at least that's what he thought. There was only one oil lamp in the hallway, and he was handcuffed to a stake at one end of the hallway. When she got used to the light, she realized that there was a lot of dirty blood under her feet, some of which had even coagulated into a blood crust. And there are a lot of filth under the wooden village behind him, which is covered with white maggots, and the white maggots keep wriggling, but these little insects look very comfortable, and it seems that this is their happy nest.
Before she could calm down, the corridor was filled with more and more clear footsteps, sparsely fragmented, and it seemed that there were many puddles on the ground. Soon, with the rapid beating heart of the scarlet Yuan, the person finally came to the front.
The face of the person who came did not look like a cow ghost and snake god as he imagined, but he looked gentle and elegant, holding a folding fan in his hand, and he could smell a faint fragrance of ink on his body.
"Did you get me here?" asked Jin Yuan, a little scared.
The scholar looked kind, slapped the folding fan in his hand and slapped it again, repeating it repeatedly. "You're a lady?"
"You ......"
"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you, did the old woman who sold you Xueji grass in the local market come to you again that day?
Jianyuan just opened her mouth and stopped suddenly, and a pair of bright eyes poured down two lines of tears. "You killed my father and my stepmother?"
The scholar smiled, and the smile was so real. "Girl, do you think I'm like that? answer my questions first, and I'll tell you what you want to know. ”
"No, I went out that day. ”
Hearing this, the scholar opened the folding fan and fanned it lightly a few times. "Girl, your stepmother has already told me that an old woman has taken you to their house as a guest. ”
"That's me, I lied to her!" suddenly held back her tears. "You liar, you killed my father and stepmother! Otherwise, how would you know this?" Instantly, the corridor sounded the cry of the lady, and the voice was sad. Now she thinks of her father who is in a different place in the house and the stepmother who died ****, and she communicates for a while.
The scholar didn't care about it, and waited until she was almost crying before slowly opening her mouth to ask.
"Girl, don't be sad, people can't be resurrected after death, as long as you tell me all the things you have been a guest in the past, I promise to let you return home safely." ”
Jianyuan stopped sobbing, her face contorted, and she smiled coldly. "Home, hehe, where is there still home?ah, tell me, where is my home?"
When the scholar heard this, the bruises on his forehead skyrocketed, and he instantly changed into a person. "your mother! Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid!
Seeing his appearance, Jin Yuan was not afraid, but felt ridiculous. "Daddy said that people are not just demons, but demons. Those demons have a human face and a beast's heart, and there is no good thing. ”
"What a demon!" The scholar was so angry, who didn't cry and shout for mercy in the past!
"You demon, you look like a human and have no heart, you might as well kill me, anyway, I don't have a father, and it's not interesting to live in this world. ”
"I want to die, hmph! Lao Tzu will let you die, but not now!" After speaking, the scholar took out a black pill from his arms and thrust it into the mouth of the scarf girl. Then the scholar urged the aura around his body to recite the mantra silently in his mouth.
A stinging pain from the brain instantly swept through Jianyuan's whole body, Jianyuan's petite body kept convulsing, the chains handcuffed to her body made a fierce crackling sound, and she foamed at the mouth and rolled her eyes after just one breath, and then two warm currents from her lower body came out together, and then a foul smell rose all over the corridor.
Regardless of the tragic situation of the scholar, he still recited the mantra silently, and then waved his hand. A transparent picture gradually appeared in front of the door of the girl's head. In the picture, it is close to noon, an old woman takes the towel to the carriage, and after that, a series of processes are all shown in the picture, the scholar takes out a white stone from his arms, the stone continues to absorb the content of the picture, and when the picture is put on the towel to return home and is knocked unconscious.
The scholar retrieved the white stone, which at this time contained all the experiences of the maiden entering the Hades Palace. The scholar looked at the stone with satisfaction, and glanced at the scarf who didn't know whether she was dead or alive.
"Old Monster Chen, send this guy to the bath to be cleaned and then send it to Li Angqian, the second prince of the Demon Realm. ”
After the scholar finished speaking, he took the stone and left, and after a while, a man who was limping and looking dirty and ugly and couldn't see his specific age walked in. The man glanced at the scarf, untied her and carried her out of the porch.
She had gradually regained her consciousness when the scholar took the stone, but she was in a state of confusion, and then she vaguely remembered that someone had carried her out of the place where she was in pain. Then I was dazzled to see someone caressing her skin back and forth, and then passed through a splendid temple and was finally placed on a soft bed. After that, he fell into a coma, during which he faintly heard the sound of wheezing and fell unconscious.
