Those two breaths were Nuwa and Fuxi's.
For a moment, Emperor Xudu could not contain the anger rising in his heart, shock and panic, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched suddenly.
Although all human souls have more or less the breath of these two ancient gods, because of the reason of independent reproduction for hundreds of generations, now that they are reincarnated into the human souls of the underworld, this breath is already very weak.
But in Xiao Shizhu's ghost blood, this aura is unusually clear and obvious. Coupled with the little ghost qi left in Xiao Shizhu's blood, it is the combination of these two breaths that can be 100% sure that Xiao Shizhu is not made out of mud by Nuwa and Fuxi, he is the son of God who was born through pregnancy and childbirth.
But according to the prophecy, there are still decades before the appearance of the Son of God, but Xiao Shizhu has been living in the underworld for ten years, and it must be that the book of life and death has been manipulated by ghosts. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, exuding a fierce murderous aura.
This murderous aura was so strong that it not only instantly blew out the fire on the surrounding lampstands, but also suddenly caused the clear water in the collapsed pool to boil as if it had been burned by fire.
He already planned to make a desperate bet, even if it would cost three thousand years of Taoism, he would use the judge's pen to tick off Xiao Shizhu's name on the master book of life and death, even if he would be even weaker after that, he would use this shortcut to get rid of Xiao Shizhu.
In the darkness, the Emperor Xudu, who had always been blushing, waited for a long time before the closed door was slowly pushed open from the outside by his ghost.
With the dull sound of the hinge, a bright ray of cloudy light slowly shone into the hall through the gradually opening door, and a black-faced strong man dressed in a red robe and a double gong hanging on his waist, five big and three thick, hurriedly walked into the hall.
The ghost is Cui Yu, who succeeded King Qin Guang in managing the Ghost Judgment Palace.
After he stood still in front of Emperor Xudu, he glanced at Emperor Xudu's iron-blue face, and the anxiety on his face immediately turned into sincere fear, and then he hurriedly knelt down with his knees bent, and said tremblingly between kowtows: "Your Majesty is not good, the master of the book of life and death is gone!"
"What?" Emperor Xudu's widening eyes showed a little surprise, and he looked at Cui Yu, who was lying on the ground in a daze, with his forehead pressed against the cold floor, and slowly clenched his fists.
"The master of the Book of Life and Death is missing. Cui Yu, who was in cold sweat on his forehead, trembled. The two rows of teeth in his mouth kept chattering up and down, and he said resignedly: "I don't know who stole it." ”。
Although it is not his responsibility to take care of the book of life and death, the master of the book of life and death has been stored in the hall of ghost judgment, and if it is missing at this time, if the Emperor Xudu wants to be held accountable, he Cui Yu will bear the brunt, how can he not be afraid?
Emperor Xudu was like being struck by lightning, and he was stunned on the bed like a wooden chicken, and he couldn't ease his senses for a while.
Without the master book of life and death, even if he is a divine soul, he can't hook Xiao Shizhu's name, and he can't immediately execute Xiao Shizhu thousands of miles away.
Just when he was about to use it, the master of the book of life and death was missing, which was obviously not a coincidence. There must be ghosts in the court, helping Xiao Shizhu in secret.
"Get out. After a long silence, Emperor Xudu, who was frustrated and angry, said weakly, put his right hand on his right knee, and his open five fingers supported the hanging head.
The frustration that kept rising in his heart made him feel powerless and physically and mentally exhausted.
This feeling is the first time since he dominated the underworld.
Cui Yu saw that he had not been executed for such a serious problem, so he didn't dare to say anything more than he was relieved, so he hurriedly got up after answering the question, and rushed out of the Hundred Ghost Hall with a roll.
At the moment when he escaped from the gate, Emperor Xudu suddenly thought that in the current underworld, there were not many ghosts who knew that he could execute a ghost on the master book of life and death after spending three thousand years of Taoism.
Among the ten halls of Yama, only King Qin Guang knew, and even King Yama and King Wheel didn't know. And in addition to the dead bull head and horse noodles in the ghost cha, only black and white impermanence remains.
But whether it is black and white impermanence, or King Qin Guang, they are all on Xiao Shizhu's territory at this time; for some reason, Emperor Xudu always feels that the loss of Lord Bo is related to these three ghosts, but after thinking about it, he himself sent these three ghosts to Xiao Shizhu's side, although there is no direct evidence to prove that King Qin Guang and they have rebelled, but he vaguely feels that he is dealing with Xiao Shizhu, and it seems that he has been wrong again and again from the beginning.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry and anxious he became, his bloodshot eyes bulged out of his sockets, and after the Adam's apple trembled twice, he opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, "Wow!" and spit out a mouthful of ghost blood......
After nightfall, the Yuque Palace is immersed in the light of the blue moon, which is more brilliant than the day, and all the palaces and pavilions become more warm and transparent.
In the brightly lit Tianyang Palace, the ghost mother sat on the throne where Xiao Shizhu sat in the past, staring at the thick scroll she was carrying in her hand, slowly stretched out her other hand, and gently stroked the three vigorous and powerful ancient god characters of the "Book of Life and Death" on the right side of the old and yellowed cover.
Over the years, she has been worried that Emperor Xudu will throw a rat trap and use this judge's pen to cooperate with the divine book to kill Xiao Shizhu, so a few years ago, she has been emphasizing with Xiao Shizhu not to confront Emperor Xudu head-on.
has been secretly plotting, how to let Lao Li and them steal the book of birth and death, but they have not been able to succeed.
But now she doesn't have to worry about these anymore, black and white impermanence has stolen it out, even if Emperor Xudu can use three thousand years of Taoism plus a judge's pen made of soul-breaking iron to decide the life and death of all souls, but without this book of the Lord Bo Shen, his cultivation and the judge's pen are useless.
"Mother of the Nation. Just when the ghost mother caressed the cover and felt relieved, Chen Ruo's voice suddenly came from outside the door of the main hall: "Lu Wu and Lord Chunyun, as well as Black and White Impermanence and Lord Changqin, have arrived." ”。
When the ghost mother heard this, she calmed down, and first rolled up the book of life and death in her sleeves before she said, "Please." ”。
When the words landed, they saw Lu Wu and the others slowly walking into the main hall, and after a few ghosts walked around the huge sand table without stopping, they stood still opposite her, bowed in unison, and said, "I have seen the mother of the country." ”。
"I've worked hard for you, and I have to come to discuss it late at night, but this matter can't be delayed any longer, and I have to disturb your dreams. The ghost mother got up, bowed her head slightly, and after showing some apologies to the ghosts, she walked to the table, stood in front of the huge sand table in the hall, and took the slender bamboo pole standing on the side of the table: "Everyone, please come and see." ”。
Promise also walked in with a few palace maids, and after placing a few lighted oil lamps on the edge of the sand table, he retreated.
After his ghost gathered around the sand table, the top of the bamboo pole in the hand of the ghost mother was a finger on the sand table, and said: "Two hours ago, the current guards of the Ghost Crying Beach Bai Qian and Wu Xiaoshen sent the latest news of the Ghost Crying Beach through the fungus people. ”。
"Could it be that Du Ziren launched a fierce attack on the Ghost Crying Beach?" Changqin looked at the Ghost Crying Beach on the sand table, and asked thoughtfully when the Ghost Mother paused.
After all these years of training, the original immaturity on Changqin's face has disappeared, just as Xiao Shizhu saw back then, Changqin has grown into a powerful human soul.
In the past few years, although he is still not good at fighting, he still lacks courage and can't be a general, but he no longer naively wants to show himself on the battlefield, but uses his skillful governing skills to assist Xiao Shizhu in governing the country, and also gives Xiao Shizhu a lot of good advice.
One of the admonitions was to let the Gonggong clan provide rain for the area around Bifang County and build a canal to improve the wasteland, while the Zhurong Ghosts were responsible for teaching the Gonggong Ghosts how to use firearms, and at the same time helped them overcome thousands of years of fear of firearms and *.
In this way, the two ghost clans, who have fought for thousands of years and have accumulated deep grievances, reconciled their hatred, and with the help of each other over time, they became a family that loved each other. It also contributed to the phenomenon of the unity of all ghosts in the Nine Shadows country.
Xiao Shizhu saw that he was much more mature and stable now than when he fought with Wu Hui, so he did not hesitate to promote him to the head of the household department in the small court of the Nine Hidden Kingdom, mainly in charge of household registration, taxation and overall planning of state funds.
And Changqin did not disappoint him, the town and the country cared for the people, and did a good job of feeding the food, and whenever a war broke out, he never lacked everything such as transporting grain and storing and supplying equipment.
"Hmm. Immediately after that, the ghost mother nodded her head and said solemnly: "And it's a bloody onslaught." It is said that Du Ziren sent millions of troops, and there are many Ba Snake Army, if it weren't for the fact that the Devil Cry Pass has been repaired, our country's firearms are advanced, and the soldiers are all experienced in the battlefield, we would have lost this place tonight. ”。
Don't look at the ghost mother's tone of understatement, but it is not difficult to see from the solemn color on her face that the battle of Ghost Crying Beach tonight must be very tragic, and the casualties of the soldiers must be not small.
The strategic location of Devil's Crying Beach is extremely important, it is the eastern gate of the Nanban, and it is also the backup guarantee of the army of Xiaofeng County led by Hu Hui to the south. Therefore, no matter where you lose, you can't lose the Devil's Crying Beach.
"Who is the boss?" Lu Wu and Chunyun, both of whom had experience in leading troops in combat, only thought for a moment when they heard this, and then asked in unison.
"Five years ago, Song Dingbo, who signed a peace treaty with my country. The ghost mother looked around at the ghosts and asked, "I wonder if you still have any impressions?"
In addition to the black and white impermanence, when the other ghosts nodded, Changqin also followed with a slight bow, and at the same time, his lips opened and said slowly: "The minister was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites back then, and he was ordered to receive this ghost; Fighting with this kind of old ghost is somewhat difficult for Wu Xiaoshen and General Bai Qi to be fledgling new generals. ”。
"That's why we have to support Devil Cry Beach. There are still 10,000 troops to be mobilized in the Nine Ridge Mountains, all of them are veteran ghost soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, but the commander doesn't know who to use?" After the ghost mother explained the topic of the discussion, her inquiring gaze swept over their thoughtful faces one by one.
"Directly order Jumang to lead the troops. Lu Wu thought and said bluntly. He is the second person in this hall besides the ghost mother to know the existence of Jumang, and now that Emperor Xudu is besieging Shuoyue Island, it is not interesting to hide this ghost with the talent of a commander. It's better to take the opportunity and put him on the front line to shine.
As soon as these words came out, even Chunyun was surprised, and opened his lips slightly and froze in place. Jumang's name has been thunderous in the underworld over the years, not to mention far away, just say that on the streets of the city outside the palace, any conspicuous place and all the list shelves, there are still wanted notices sent by the Emperor Xudu back then.
Such a wanted criminal has been in the training ground of the Nine Shadows Country, which is unexpected for them.
"No, the king has gone somewhere else. The Ghost Mother knew that what he was saying was a deliberate opinion, but she shook her head and rejected the proposal in an affirmative tone, without intending to explain to them where the sentence had gone.
"Since Lord Lu Wu's proposal doesn't work, there is a candidate for the minister. After pondering for a moment, Changqin raised his eyes to look at the ghost mother, and spoke again: "The minister once heard that General Xuanshui is good at fast attack, and sometimes attack is the best defense, do you send General Xuanshui to support Ghost Crying Beach? ”。
