The gentle mist under the morning sun has not yet dissipated, and the forests surrounding the undulating Luo Yu Mountain are like a thin veil dancing gently around the mountain.

The doors and windows of the lofty Ten Thousand Souls Hall are closed, and the pool in the middle of the main hall is planted with hibiscus and leaves half green and half white green ice ling, and the water quality is clear, you can clearly see the bottom of the pool, the algae swaying with the waves, on the left and right sides of the pool, there is a blue glazed porcelain smoker.

The furnace lid is made of phoenix feather leaf inlaid with bead pattern, and a luminous pearl is held in the middle, showing a graceful and luxurious atmosphere.

The furnace is lit with the divine incense from the tribute of the queen mother's country, which is as big as a bird's egg and as black as a mulberry. The green smoke curls in, exuding an elegant and light fragrance that seems to be nothing, filling every corner of the hall. Let the ghosts in the temple calm the gods and solidify the yuan.

The palace slaves who served in the temple were all gone, except for the Emperor Xudu lying flat on the floating gold couch with ivory mats and futon woven into bedding floating in the pool, covered with a cloth as dense as ice incense.

Pillowed by the crook of his arm, lying sideways in his arms was a female ghost with seven-foot-long hair as dark as lacquer, and covered in *.

But unlike ordinary human souls, the smooth and delicate skin on this ghost's body is all blue. There are more eyes on the eyebrows on his face than ordinary people, and the left eye is actually covered with thin fish scales, and there is a curved horn more than half a foot long on each side of the forehead.

Whether it is the fish scales around her eyes or the curved corners on her forehead, they all make her a little weird and a little hideous.

If it weren't for the weirdness of these painted snakes, her appearance with the head and cherry lips, coupled with the figure of the crisp chest and willow waist, would be regarded as a beautiful female ghost.

This ghost is the god of Ma Nujin, formerly known as Duan's. When she was in the world, she was the delicate wife of Liu Boyu of the Jin Dynasty, and she was also a narrow-minded and jealous woman.

At that time, Liu Boyu, who had never even seen gods and ghosts, often wrote poems, expressing in the poems that he wanted to meet the beautiful water god. Seeing this, Duan was furious, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water with a strong anger; this is a story that has been passed down from mouth to mouth in the world to this day.

But in the Northern Yin Dynasty of the Underworld, when the ghosts who have been on errands for a long time know that after the soul of the Duan clan arrived in the underworld, it became as ugly and weird as it is today because of jealousy.

But the turnip and green vegetables have their own loves; Emperor Xudu, who quietly went out of the palace and went down the mountain to inspect the work in the Ghost Judgment Palace, happened to meet the Duan family who happened to be hearing the trial, and he was suddenly stunned at the same place at a glance; and the Duan family, who should have been sent to hell in vain because he did not cherish his life, and then could not be a human for eternity, was also exempted from the suffering of serving labor in hell and obtained the right to live in the underworld for a long time.

And under the shroud of jealousy rising in her heart, the idea of revenge was even stronger, so she committed herself to the Emperor Xudu without saying a word, and asked the other party to secretly teach her some magic and ghost skills, so that she could easily give Liu Boyu a dream on the first seven days, and asked the other party viciously in the dream: "Don't you want to marry the god of water? I am the god of water now, come and marry me!" Since then, Liu Boyu has been so frightened that he will never dare to cross the river in the future.

It didn't take long for Duan, a ghost who had no inch, to be inexplicably named the god of Ma Nujin, commanding 50,000 Lechuan sailors to guard the largest ferry on the north bank of the Lechuan River, and Meng Po, the yin envoy who guarded the Naihe Bridge, on an equal footing.

The Yama kings and ghost officials of the Northern Yin Dynasty all knew that the Duan clan had obtained the title of god because they had learned the skills of gods and ghosts by untying the wide clothes on the bed, and everyone tacitly did not mention it. It's just that for some reason, Emperor Xudu still hasn't given her any name.

The two ghosts have always been so sneaky, and the name of the monarch and the minister has long been husband and wife.

As for Liu Boyu, he also died in the flesh not long after, and his soul naturally came to the underworld. It is said that he didn't even go up to the Ghost Judgment Palace, so he was secretly taken to Luo Yu Mountain. In the hideous laughter of the Emperor Xudu and the goddess of the concubine, the poor Liu Boyu was pressed into the pool under the imperial couch where they were sleeping at this moment, and drowned alive.

But this is just a rumor, the truth or falsehood is afraid that only the Emperor Xudu and the god of Manujin know.

When the morning light carved through the window and shone into the hall, the bell and drum tower not far from the hall sounded bursts of morning bells and the dull drums. The lampstands around the pool in the hall also burned out the lamp oil and slowly extinguished under the sound of bells and drums.

When the bell and drum sounded, Emperor Xudu slowly opened his eyes, turned his head and glanced at the goddess of Ma Nujin lying in his arms with affection, revealing a smile like clouds opening snow.

Who would have thought that Emperor Xudu, who was cunning and impermanent, ruthless and murderous, would also have such tender eyes and a smile full of warmth.

The sleeping goddess seemed to sense the gaze of Emperor Xudu coming towards her, and whispered softly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned with a hint of happiness.

"It's time to get up, little lazy bug. Emperor Xudu gently pulled the Xiangquan cloth up to help her cover her half-exposed shoulders, and then looked at the peaceful face in front of him, and whispered in a soft tone that almost did not appear on weekdays: "I don't have the sun to dry my butt anymore." ”。

There was another low dream from the mouth of the goddess, but this time there was obviously a faint irritability in the dream, as if it was disturbed by her clear dream.

Then she still closed her eyes tightly, stretched out her right index finger, which was as soft and delicate as a soft wattle, and her fingertips were familiar with the broad and firm chest of Emperor Xudu, and began to slowly draw circles, and Weiqi's lips also complained softly: "Your Majesty really doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, last night tossed people until the second half of the night to stop, today the sky is just dawning, just urge people to get up, so conscienceless." ”。

When he spoke, he blew Shenglan, and his shyness suddenly appeared, and he was so sultry under all kinds of amorous feelings.

Now in the huge underworld, I am afraid that only Xiao Shizhu and his wife dare to play the Emperor Xudu, and I am afraid that the only one who dares to directly and blatantly complain about the Emperor Xudu is this female ghost.

On the other hand, the Emperor Xudu was not angry but happy, one hand hugged the other party's fragrant shoulder, and the other hand gently held up her chin, and said softly: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, in terms of deception, only you have obtained the true inheritance of me in the vast underworld; ”。

"Your Majesty will make excuses. Ma Nujin grinned, opened his sleepy eyes, stared at the Emperor Xudu with a tender face, and said slightly: "It's not easy to recruit people into the palace once, and it's only been four or five days since we got together, and I'm going to send people thousands of miles away to fight Xiao Shizhu." It's just a soul, why do you have to make such a big fuss?".

"Don't underestimate this Xiao Shizhu, the yin trick is no less than mine. A rare affirmation, when it slowly spit out from the mouth of Emperor Xudu, there was also a trace of admiration in his eyes that flashed: "The little ghost is familiar with deception, and I must not let him live." ”。

The breeze blew and blew the phoenix brocade curtain hanging from the beams and pillars in the hall swaying with the wind.

"It's the first time I've heard Your Majesty praise people so sincerely. The woman sat up slowly, took the clothes from the end of the bed and put them on her body one by one.

"I'm only telling you about this, but don't spread the word. After some secret thought, Emperor Xudu also sat up and helped the god of Ma Nujin to arrange his robes: "He is not an ordinary human soul, but the legendary son of a god." ”。

"Fuxi and Nuwa's children?" asked Ma Nujin as she stared at Emperor Xudu and asked curiously. From this point of view, she also knows a lot of secrets because she has a bed with Emperor Xudu.

"Hmm. Emperor Xudu, whose face was suddenly solemn, nodded lightly, and then said no more in a daze. After staying in the underworld for a long time, she knew what an honor it was to compete with the legendary son of the god, and a strong impatience rose in her heart at the moment.

After a long time, the goddess of the woman, who had already dressed neatly and began to comb her hair, asked leisurely after thinking, "Then what if I can take Shuoyue Island this time?"

"Then I will send you additional reinforcements, and you can drive straight into the Nine Shadows Kingdom, go straight to Yuque City, and help me kill Xiao Shizhu. "Emperor Xudu arrived without thinking.

"Understood. Ma Nujin God nodded his head, and inserted the two smooth and shiny and jewelless hairpins in his hand, which were actually made of ancient gods' bones, into the combed cloud temples one by one, and after a little thought, he asked: "What to do with the ghost mother?"

Emperor Xudu suddenly trembled slightly, and quickly turned his head to look at the water waves in front of the bed, and in his eyes, there was an inexplicable kindness, and then he sighed softly after turning into a little grief, but he opened his lips but was still silent, and after a while, as if he had made a great determination, he squeezed out a slurred sentence from between his teeth with great difficulty: "Bring her and Xiao Fuling back unscathed." ”。

The woman with a calm face stood up with a silent nod, jumped lightly on tiptoe on the bed, and stood firmly on the edge of the pool after passing a graceful arc on the water waves, and put her feet into the embroidered shoes placed on the edge of the pool.

Then, without looking back, she walked slowly toward the temple gate. Using a variety of jade pendants of different shapes, they were combined with colored threads to form a string of forbidden steps tied around her waist, making a pleasant sound of slowness and urgency, and the weight was appropriate.

"If you can capture Shuoyue Island, then kill Xiao Shizhu. Just as she walked to the back of the door, the sincere voice of Emperor Xudu suddenly came from behind her: "Even if you can't have children, I will personally take you into the palace." ”。 The voice is neither light nor heavy, neither slow nor urgent.

Ma Nujin was stunned and froze in place, but after a while, the joy could no longer be concealed, and it quickly surged from her heart, instantly covering her strangely born face......

A four-wheeled cart pulled by two beast spirits of the husband, who walked side by side, shaped like a white deer with four horns, and a long dark blue mane around their necks, quietly drove out of Yuque City in the middle of the night, and headed north along the official road immersed in the vast night.

Sitting in front of the car door was a thin man wearing a hat and holding a long whip, with a small blade and a protruding tip, a thin back and a curved handle, and he often watched the silence of the night with his eyes wary.

This human soul is Xiao Shizhu's personal guard Fan Jinhong.

And behind the curtain behind him blocking the car door, in the narrow carriage full of books and books, it was Xiao Shizhu who sat cross-legged and straightened behind the desk in the depths.

On both sides of Xiao Shizhu's body, there were two brothers, black and white, impermanence. There is also the Fungi Patriarch Shen Ji who sits against the scrolls piled under the walls of the car.

"Master Fan, Xie Ye, the night is long and the distance is still far away, isn't it good for the two of you to pretend to be deep like this?" Xiao Shizhu, who was not sleepy, took advantage of the bronze as the frame and set the gemstones, and the fire mirror with the ancient characters of the ancient seal embedded in the frame emitted a blue fluorescence, looking at the silent black and white impermanence.

"Young master, our brother can't afford it. Xie Bi'an smiled and waved his hand.

"You took good care of me at the beginning, and you definitely deserved it. Xiao Shizhu said without thinking, but he still got Xie Bi'an a shirk.

"Old Xie, don't talk too much nonsense. Fan Wuxi, who still had a fierce face and a solemn face, was silent for a moment and then suddenly said in a deep voice: "There are no ghosts around, quickly take out the key." ”。
