XIV. The Forbidden Palace of Asgard
(a)
Later, Bai Yue had been cultivating in the deep mountains, waiting for Daoist Gusong to come to him, but who would have thought that after more than a hundred years of hard waiting, what he was waiting for in the end was a wisp of grievances from Daoist Gusong.
Gu Song Dao Chang was about to cultivate into a true immortal when he was killed by his own closed disciple Huang Mei, this Huang Mei came to the Guan Zhong to practice after Bai Yue left the Qingling Temple, and when he first came to the Guan Zhong, he used his frail and sick as an excuse to ask Gu Song Dao Chang for the elixir to eat, because his Taoist cultivation was a few points more advanced and exquisite than other disciples in the Guan Zhong, so he was soon accepted as a personal disciple by Gu Song Dao Chang, this Huang Mei His practice at that time seemed to be very profound, and even only ate a few furnaces of Gu Song Dao Chang Ling Dan has been cultivated into a half-immortal body like Gu Song Dao Chang, Gu Song Dao Chang was happy in his heart, and taught him all his housekeeping skills, and personally designated him as the next contemplator in the Pure Soul Temple.
But the strange thing is that since this Huang Mei came to the Qingling Temple, the other disciples in the view always left a letter in their bedroom and then did not say goodbye, and there was no whereabouts.
At first, Gu Song Dao Chang also thought that the brothers were jealous of Huang Mei in their hearts, and he didn't care much about it, until one day because the Dan furnace collapsed and a furnace of spirit pill was destroyed, Huang Mei failed to rely on the spirit pill in time to cover up the fatal flaw that he was not alive and angry, and Gu Song Dao Chang found that he was not a living person, but a yin ghost borrowed the corpse to return the soul, so it was concluded that those disciples who disappeared inexplicably in the view must be inseparable from this Huang Mei.
Later, after careful investigation, the head of the ancient pine finally found that the soil under the tree had been newly hoeed under several thousand-year-old pine trees in the back garden of the Qingling Temple.
Huang Mei later carefully forged the deception of Gu Song Dao Chang Dao Fei Immortal in front of all his children, and he naturally became the master of Qingling Temple, but Gu Song Dao Chang's soul learned from the mouth of the land prince in the back garden of Qing Ling Temple that this Huang Mei was the ghost of Liang'er who was killed by Bai Yue at the beginning.
After this Liang'er was killed, for some reason the ghost did not go to the underworld, but found an unclaimed corpse outside the city of Yuzhou, he took revenge because he hated the snake demon Bai Yue who took away and killed him that day, and he took revenge, so he wantonly sucked the blood of mortals in the villages and towns near the left outside the city of Yuzhou, and gradually had some human flesh on the corpse that he possessed, more than ten years later, when this corpse could finally be faked with the truth, and the blood and gas were faked and pretended to be living without being detected, he immediately came to the Qingling Temple to practice, because he knew that the blood and gas on his body could not be disguised as a living person for a long time, and began to ask the Gusong Taoist for the elixir under the pretext of being weak and sick, using the elixir to cover up that there is no flaw in his body, in order to wait until Gu Song Dao is only one step away from cultivating to become a true immortal, he will break the foundation of his immortal body that he has cultivated for many years, and make him a useless and resentful ghost, watching himself become the master of the Qing Ling Guan, and continue to wantonly kill the disciples of the three Qing in his Guan Guan, but he can't help himself.
But Huang Mei didn't expect that the unjust soul of Daoist Gu Song would go to Bai Yue and ask him to try to get rid of the scourge of Huang Mei for himself, because he was about to enter reincarnation in the near future, and there was no way to kill that Huang Mei with his own hands to avenge it.
Bai Yue because of his great respect for the Ancient Song Daoist, naturally he will not easily live up to the wish of the Ancient Song Daoist, he calculated that a hundred years have passed, and that Liang'er estimated that he had long forgotten his human appearance, so he devoted himself to the Qingling Temple as a little Taoist, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate this vicious Huangmei Sect Master.
But who would have thought that it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but it was not too late for a villain to take revenge, Huang Mei, whose real name was Liang'er, recognized Bai Yue at a glance, but he kept him quietly in the Qingling Temple, and then took advantage of the night to suck the essence blood of the two disciples in the Guanzhong, blamed Bai Yue, and burned Bai Yue to death in public with the true fire of Samadhi, so as to show his magical powers to the onlookers, so that the incense in the Qingling Temple will be more prosperous and vigorous in the future.
(b)
Now that the truth has finally come to light, Huang Mei, a vicious and vicious ghost, has finally been ambushed in public, and all the disciples in the Qingling Temple hope that Bai Yue will continue to come back to take over as the master, and Bai Yue has not shirked it, because this is indeed the last wish of the ancient Song Dao before entering reincarnation.
Qingyin was angry and didn't care whether this headless dead corpse was a good corpse or not, so she poked the branding card on the body of this headless corpse with one finger, she wanted to make this good child have a good head in the next life, and she could always come up with a good way to solve the problems that no one else could solve, but this person was a complete dementia in terms of human feelings, so every time the credit was snatched away by others, people were famous, full of money, but they couldn't get anything, and they also liked to call those who hid knives in their smiles brothers, and treated others with their hearts and lungs, but they were treated as a fool who didn't know what to do, once they couldn't satisfy their desires, I turned my head and was deceived by others with nothing left, and I inexplicably got into a lawsuit, of course, in the end, the lawsuit will definitely be lost, and after losing the lawsuit, of course, I will be poor for a lifetime, and I only deserve to be ridiculed and laughed at wherever I go.
Qing Huan knew that such a punishment was actually a bit too much for this good child, because although he was sorry for the evil child, but now the evil child should have been reincarnated again, and the evil child in this life may not have the opportunity to enter the palace to be a concubine, but Bai Yue He now has the opportunity to be the master of the Qing Ling Temple, and he may have the opportunity to fly into an immortal in the future, he will not let himself fall into the red dust love of the evil child again, after all, a man, no matter how obsessed he is with a woman, he will always be able to find something more worthy of his obsession than this woman one day, whether it is a thousand years of hegemony, or becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha。
"Hmph, that evil child is not the same, she was infatuated with waiting for this good child, but in the blink of an eye she entered the palace to become the imperial concubine, it seems that the way of the world has really changed, in the past, those infatuated women who were obsessed with death and life for the sake of their hearts are now difficult to see again, but more and more mortal women are rushing to enter the palace to choose concubines for the sake of the phoenix crown," Qingyin couldn't help but look at the cardamom girls in front of Qingling Temple who deliberately held their hearts like sick Xi Shi in order to have a chance to enter the palace to choose concubines in the future, and their eyes were smiling," Look, one by one, they haven't had a chance to see what the emperor looks like, it's really like he has become a concubine," he said.
"Princess, you blame them, in the past, women were looking for death and life for the love of their hearts, in fact, it was only because they fell in love with some men who were like gods in their eyes, after all, the mortal women in the past had no chance to read poetry and books at home, nor had the opportunity to practice martial arts, a weak girl in the boudoir who didn't know what she was worth, if she fantasized that she was very literate, she would definitely entrust her infatuation to a merry talent, if she fantasized that she was strong in martial arts, she would definitely entrust her infatuation to a young knight, mortals always have nothing in themselves, and they would be obsessed with something, but now women can go to the school to read poetry and books, or they can go to find those peerless swordsmen to practice martial arts, and their own ability is no worse than those romantic talents and young chivalrous people, and naturally they gradually lost most of their interest in those men who were beyond the reach of the gods in their hearts when they were young, "Qing Huan couldn't help but smile indifferently," But what woman in the world doesn't want her children to be free of food and clothing, pampered and glorified for the rest of their lives, and become a concubine herself, at least she can make her children live better than other people's children," he said.
"Hmph, why do you say so good, mortals actually love the most in their hearts will always be themselves, otherwise why do you think those palace maids and guards in the heavenly court work hard every day to take turns in the wind and rain, not to let the mortal world accumulate as much food and rice as possible, don't break your head one day in order to fill your stomach," Qingyin said coldly, "I believe that there is any sincerity among mortals, if you believe in the heavenly spirit, the earth spirit, the Taishang Laojun will soon appear the spirit." ”
"Princess, talk about virtue,"
"Mortals are inherently virtuous, how can I accumulate for them?"
"Princess ......"
"If you don't shut up again, this palace doesn't mind cutting out your tongue. ”

For more than a month, seeing that the demonic qi in Yuzhou City was gradually dissipating, but the qi of the Blazing Cloud Poison Bead gathered in the Dingguang Bead was still missing, because of the induction of the Dingguang Bead, Qing Huan and Qingyin inexplicably came to a mysterious fairy palace forbidden place in Yuzhou City, but they saw a few sellers of osmanthus cakes while carefully taking care of their stalls, while stretching out their fingers and pointing to a medical notice written in yellow satin posted on the notice booth at the entrance of the fairy palace.
Qingyin was curious and pulled Qing Huan to come forward and take a closer look at the medical notice, it is said that a witch lady in the fairy palace has recently contracted a disease, if anyone can enter the palace to heal the witch girl, you can get a thousand taels of gold.
"Hey, a thousand taels of gold, if you exchange them for gold beads, I don't know how many thousand," Qingyin smiled and looked back at Qing Huan's cheeks with a sly look of ill intentions, "You won't tell me that I served so hard in the Pure Heaven before, but I didn't even get a single elixir from Xiangjun, right?" she asked.
"Princess, although the elixir can save lives, but it can also be urgent, do you know where this fairy palace forbidden garden in Yuzhou City came from?" he asked.
"Yuzhou is under the control of Chu, and witchcraft is rampant in Chu, can there be less fairy palaces dedicated to witches in Yuzhou City?" Qingyin asked, "Is it because the Eastern Emperor has been defeated, the people in Yuzhou City will immediately demolish all the fairy palaces dedicated to witches to show their loyalty to the Emperor of Heaven?" she said.
"But this fairy palace is different, the witch maid named Qing'er in it, is a thousand-year-old snake spirit, she was born in Xinyi Mountain, and Xinyi Mountain is not very far from Yuzhou City, so Yuzhou City is under the control of Xinyi Mountain, in addition to paying tribute to the imperial court every year, but also to pay tribute to Xinyi Mountain, Qing'er's family's errand is to ensure that Xinyi Mountain can receive full offerings every year, so if you want to know what this fairy palace looks like, you might as well push the door in person to take a look,"
"But what does this have to do with the elixir you carry?" Qingyin wondered.
"Of course, today a pill of elixir saved a witch maiden, but tomorrow the people in Yuzhou City don't know what to do to get this elixir, if someone takes the opportunity to offer a thousand virgin essence blood alchemy evil recipes, I am afraid that within three days, the girl under the age of twelve in Yuzhou City will be killed," Qing Huan said coldly, "Although the current saint in Chang'an City is merciful, if he is allowed to see the Jiuyang Immortal Pill, it will be different," he said.
"Oh, that's right, the Jiuyang Immortal Pill is very rare even in the Pure Heaven, if it is eaten by this witch Qing'er, the people in Yuzhou City will be greedy, I am afraid that this Qing'er witch will be thrown into the Dan furnace to refine the elixir of immortality," Qingyin sneered, "The relationship between mortals is like this, and the premise of all sincerity and sincerity is because there is no greater temptation to get it by sacrificing the other party," she said.
"Princess, since you know that, let's go,"
"Hmph, let me think again,"
"Princess ......"
Just as Qing Huan was about to drag Qing Yin away from the notice, one of the young vendors who were reading the notice on the side suddenly began to mock Qing Huan defiantly, " This is really the world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, looking at a handsome offspring with good rules, how can he be fat in order to slap a swollen face in front of a girl, and even a poor patient who is terminally ill dares to come to the willful arrangement, what is the elixir of nine turns back to yang, and you don't have to pay taxes when you talk big, how can you have any real ability, if a girl's family marries you, then it is called blood mold for eight lifetimes......"
"Yes, what kind of elixir, but go into the fairy palace to pry Niangniang's mouth and pour one into it, to see if Niangniang can jump back to the yang world from the coffin immediately," the other vendor immediately laughed, "Isn't this like the old king who was a performer the day before yesterday, shouting that he was invincible in the world all day long, and after letting a young offspring fall a heel, he also said that he had injured people with internal force, and within three days, the young offspring would be crippled by meridian reversal," he said.
"Okay, when will it be the turn of a group of mortals to come to see the jokes of this princess," Qingyin was angry and didn't say a word, and stepped forward and dragged down the medical notice, and after rolling a volume, he went straight to Qinghuan's arms, "Hmph, I can't cure a mortal mother, and the name and surname of this princess are written upside down." ”
"Princess, what are you doing," Qing Huan hurriedly shook the medical notice tightly in his palm when he saw this, "This is the mortal world, how can we be allowed to mess around like this,"
"Hmph, what about the mortal world, that Qing'er witch is not a mortal,"
"Princess, hey, in that case, let's go......"
......
......
(iv)
After a while, Qinghuan and Qingyin had been led by several snake maids to the outside of the Witch Niangniang's dormitory in the Fairy Palace, Qingyin looked up and saw that the door of the Witch Niangniang's bedroom was clearly engraved with the three words of the Witch Niang Palace, and his heart was a little strange, because the word Solo Shake was originally taken from Zhongfang Shake Falling Du Yanyan, which means that a branch of Lady Yan opened alone in the cold winter snow, but because there has been no cold winter wind and snow in Yuzhou City for many years, there has never been a single branch of delicate flowers that have the opportunity to bloom alone after Zhongfang shakes down, so what is the true meaning of the three words of the Solo Shake Hall in the forbidden land of the Fairy Palace, is it......
Qingyin didn't have time to think about this, and was invited into the palace by a snake maid in the Duyao Hall with Qinghuan, but when he stepped into the Duyao Palace, Qingyin seemed to have fully understood the meaning of the word Duyao on the plaque in front of the hall, because there was a thirty zhang square poison pond in the Duyao Palace, and dozens of clay pots more than three feet high were surrounded by dozens of clay pots and jars more than three feet high side by side on the outside of the poison pool, and each clay pot jar contained a living person, both men and women, these people were all people who had their limbs cut off, but because of the snake demon law, they could survive for a long time in the altar, and the people wandering in the poison pool were all half of the people, some were stopped and cut off the lower half of their bodies, and some had no heads, but you can use the navel as a mouth, some of the body is half of the body, half of the body is white bones, some of the head is human, and the neck is full of white bones......
Only these snake women in the fairy palace are normal people, no wonder they will take the word "sway".
According to these snake maids, these people are all people who deduct the worship of Xinyi Mountain without permission, and the most thousand taels of gold dare to deduct 700 taels without authorization, so the witch Niangniang gave them to enjoy their days in the Duyao Palace, and they will not be allowed to die until the day of their death.
"Then, where is the witch Niangniang now," Qing Huan's eyes couldn't help but tremble deeply for a moment, "If you can't see Niangniang herself, how can you know how to use medicine," he said.
"Please also ask the fairy chief not to be surprised, the nine refining heart poison has made the witch Niangniang's face yellow and her body thin, and the witch Niangniang doesn't want people to see her illness," a plain-clothed snake girl said in a low voice, "The immortal chief only needs to tell the truth about the antidote method,"
"Nine refining heart poison, it is indeed a little difficult to solve," Qing Huan suddenly frowned, "This poison is only heard in the world that there is only one living corpse in the world that has done a lot of evil, if the witch Niangniang is really injured by this living corpse, I am afraid that the antidote can only be found on this living corpse," he said.
"Although the slave maid has only been on an errand in the Duyao Hall for many years, but recently I have heard some rumors about this living corpse, it is said that this living corpse is called Heisha, because he was fortunate to dig up a thousand-year-old ginseng plant, and after cooking, he was able to extend his life span to one hundred and fifty years old, but he originally lived no more than sixty years old, so since the age of sixty-one, the anger in the body began to become more and more different from ordinary people, so that although people do not die, but the body is festering, after the skin and flesh are rotten, only the white bones are attached to the blood vessels, and the internal organs are hung between the ribs, so he can only go to the grave every day to pick up the dead body in the coffin, tear off the rotten skin and flesh and wrap it on himself, but the rancid skin and flesh quickly rotted away, and he began to pick up human skin and flesh everywhere in the world, until he died at the age of one hundred and fifty, which was originally a rumor that had been passed down by word of mouth for hundreds of years on Longquan Mountain outside Yuzhou City, but since that black demon had already died hundreds of years ago, how could he suddenly appear in Longquan Mountain three months ago and hurt the mother who went to play?" she asked.
"Hmph, little snake demon, you're so stupid," Qingyin couldn't help but sneer at her face with a smile on her face," Do you really think that this living corpse black evil can be refined into what nine refining heart poison, is a nerd who makes people sell it and help people count money, a hundred people in this palace believe that this black evil must have been just an illiterate mountain village man before his death, and then he was tested by the medicine picker, and asked him to cook and eat a thousand-year-old ginseng that had been simmered full of Gu poison in advance, and then the Gu worms spread in the body, gnawing his skin and flesh from the inside out, just because the medicine was not enough, his internal organs were not successfully refined into medicine by the Gu worms, and the medicine picker threw him away, as for the nine refining heart poison, most of it was the medicine picker who came to entangle with him every day and gave it to him, although the heart poison is a rare poison in the worldBut this is the first time she has been applied to a snake demon," she said.
"Princess, it's important to save people, the heart-eroding poison has now penetrated into the meridians, and the Jiuyang elixir can only help her temporarily suppress the spread of the poison in her body, and she can't find the antidote within three days, I'm afraid that there is no cure," Qing Huan was helpless.
"But there are so many medicine pickers in the world, and now I don't even know who is poisoning, how can I find the antidote?" It is said that this medicine picker is really very talented, it is said that he can extract the three souls and seven spirits of a person from the body, and then separate the soul, take a soul and stuff it back into the human body, and then this living corpse with only one soul can walk and speak, and can do things according to instructions, but it is not a living person, there is no life, and the body is maintained by a soul, and this spirit will be consumed in fifty years, and the body will be decayed and weathered, this medicine picker is said to only treat the woman he likes like this, I am afraid that it is because the woman she loved in the past empathizes with others and makes him mad," she said.
"Princess, the Nine Refining Heart Poison requires a 500-year-old incorruptible body to test the medicine and refine the poisonous blood, where can an ordinary medicine picker have a 500-year incorruptible body, it must be the same as that Liang'er, the Yin ghost borrows the corpse to return the soul, sucks people's essence and blood to cultivate with evil methods," Qing Huan pondered, "That's the case, he is afraid that he has hoarded a lot of living corpse girls for his own amusement and fun, and the living corpse girl is not angry, carefully investigate the left near county outside Yuzhou City, and maybe be able to find some clues about the living corpse girl," he said.
