Green Underworld.
Li Daoxuan opened the passage with the Qingming Rebirth Talisman and came here again.
I haven’t seen you for a while, but the Green Underworld has become a lot more prosperous. There are many undead souls living in the ghost town. Unlike the Underworld, there are men, women, old and young here, and everyone is alive.
Some of them farm and some weave, and they live a normal life just like the human world. Even because they don't have to worry about war and disease, many dead souls are happier than they are in the human world.
Li Daoxuan could see the sincere smiles on their faces.
There are also many dead souls who do not want to be reincarnated. They work hard to participate in training and examinations, striving to become a glorious ghost errand. They can also accumulate yin virtues and bless their family and descendants in the human world.
Compared with the cruelly ruled underworld, this place is not like hell, but like a paradise.
Of course, for those who have done many bad things and are burdened with debts during their lives, this place is still cruel and terrifying. They will be escorted to hell by ghost messengers and suffer various punishments until their sins are eliminated and they can be reincarnated.
As for whether he was reincarnated as a human being or as a mouse and cockroach, it's hard to say.
Li Dao
He also has a share of credit for the development of the Qingming Realm. He often "videos" with the empress, and during the chat, he also talks about some management methods he knows. For example, people in the ghost town can pass the exam to become ghost servants. This is his proposal.
It seems to be working pretty well now.
He released his escape technique and revealed his physical form.
The next moment, the patrolling ghosts immediately spotted him.
"who is it?"
The ghost officers immediately surrounded him, but when they saw it was Li Daoxuan, their expressions immediately changed, and they saluted respectfully: "I have seen the Qingming Envoy!"
Li Daoxuan nodded, and with a wave of his sleeves, he released the dead souls hidden in the Five Ramps Soldiers and Horses Talisman.
These old people and children from the underworld were all frightened when they saw the ghosts, thinking that they had been sent back again.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. This is not the Underworld, but the Green Underworld. Next, you will follow these ghosts and judge the good and evil first. If you have enough Yin and virtue, you can live here or be reincarnated."
Under Li Daoxuan's comfort, they quickly calmed down and followed the ghost servants away obediently.
Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and finally disposed of them properly.
Next, auspicious clouds rose under his feet and floated towards the holy land of the Green Underworld, Yanfu Mountain.
Yanfu Mountain is a sacred mountain, and the palace of the Tsing Yi Empress is here, so flying is generally prohibited, but Li Daoxuan, as the envoy of Qingming, naturally has the privilege of flying.
After a while, he floated to the ground, and the auspicious clouds turned into mist and dissipated.
Li Daoxuan looked up at the majestic and beautiful palace, and his heart beat slightly faster.
He hasn't seen his wife for a long time.
The last time, it was in this palace that he and his empress had a special "double cultivation". Although the two of them had no direct contact, they felt a little more charming.
Since then, Li Daoxuan often thought of his empress.
He still remembers that after the "double cultivation" that day, he walked out of the palace and saw the empress wearing a gorgeous cloud fairy dress, with long flowing hair and flying ribbons, standing on the top of the mountains, looking at the boundless starry sky alone.
At that moment, he felt that the empress was beautiful, no longer a divine beauty, but a simple beauty, a beauty that made his heart move.
Later, the empress dropped a strand of black hair and made a hand rope for him.
At that time, he thought that the relationship between the two had made a huge leap, but he never expected that since then, the empress's attitude towards him had gradually become alienated. After accepting Sister Yu as her disciple, this alienation became even more obvious.
It wasn't until he entered the underworld that the empress' attitude changed a little bit through constant stalking, and she personally wrote a binding spell for him.
Boom, boom, boom!
Li Daoxuan knocked on the door softly and said, "Mother, I'm here to see you."
His heartbeat sped up inexplicably, and there was also a hint of anticipation.
The next moment, the door was opened.
An old figure walked out, it was the mother-in-law beside the empress.
She looked at Li Daoxuan with a somewhat complicated look and said, "Your Majesty is not in the palace, but in the lotus pond."
"Lotus Pond?"
"Three hundred miles to the southeast, there is a lotus pond of spiritual liquid. The purple jade girl was planted there. The empress should have gone to see her."
Li Daoxuan's heart moved, where is Sister Yu?
Then he happened to go and see Sister Yu. He didn't know how old she was now after not seeing her for so long.
"Thank you, mother-in-law. I'll take my leave now!"
Li Daoxuan turned around and left.
The mother-in-law looked at him deeply and said, "Li Daoxuan, what do you think of my young lady?"
Li Daoxuan was startled, and it took him a while to realize that the young lady she was referring to was my empress.
"Of course it's natural—"
"It's not my queen, it's my young lady!"
Li Daoxuan didn't quite understand what she meant, but he still expressed his true thoughts.
"Miss You... is beautiful and treats me very well."
"Then will you marry her?"
The mother-in-law went straight in with piercing eyes.
Li Daoxuan coughed, almost suspecting that he heard wrongly.
After a long while, he bit the bullet and said, "If I win the favor of your lady, your lady, I will naturally be willing, but this is almost impossible."
When the mother-in-law heard his answer, a smile appeared on her lips, but she asked a sharp question.
"My young lady is a gift from heaven, a thousand-year-old ghost and fairy, and the master of Qingming. If you marry her, you will have to draw a clear line between you and other women and you will not be allowed to take concubines for the rest of your life. Are you willing?"
In her heart, the young lady is the most stunning woman in the world. Although Li Daoxuan is not bad, he is still not worthy of the young lady.
It's just that he is indeed the only man that the lady will treat specially in thousands of years.
The lady can marry him, but don’t even think about taking concubines.
We also need to draw a clear line with Ziyu girl. After all, Ziyu girl is the young lady's apprentice, and she was raised by the young lady herself among lotus flowers. There is a relationship between mother and daughter, and a master-disciple relationship.
"Take...a concubine?"
Li Daoxuan said seriously: "I will never take a concubine!"
Of course he would not take a concubine. If he wanted to marry, he would marry them together. They were all his wives. Sister Yu saved him many times. When she killed the dragon in Hongzhou, she almost sacrificed herself. With such deep love and righteousness, Li Daoxuan would never treat him as a concubine. To belittle her.
Only children make choices, adults want them all!
The mother-in-law nodded with satisfaction and said, "I've finished asking questions. You can go find the empress."
The look she looked at Li Daoxuan suddenly became much kinder.
Of course, if she knew what Li Daoxuan was thinking, she might have to raise her crutches and have a battle of wits now.
…
Green Underworld, next to the Spirit Pond.
Two figures stood by the pool. One of them was wearing a green skirt, with divine light flowing around his body. He had an immortal appearance and a holy temperament. He was holding a piece of emerald-green willow branch, his wrist as bright as frost, and sprinkled with bits of immortality. Dew fell on the ninth-grade lotus in the pond.
It is the Empress in Tsing Yi.
Facing the peerlessly gorgeous empress in green, the other person did not fall behind at all. She was wearing a snow-white Taoist robe, standing with her hands behind her back, her green hair flowing like a waterfall, flowing with flawless light.
There is a bit of cinnabar between the eyebrows, the eyes are like paint, the lips are like liquid, the skin is white, and the body is graceful.
She is not as dignified and holy as the Empress in Tsing Yi. Instead, she behaves quite casually. She is beautiful but not glamorous, lazy but not lazy. Her temperament is fresh and refined, like the bright moon in the mountains or the breeze in the forest. Every word and every action has an inexplicable quality. The fairy charm.
"Taizhen, why do you have time to leave your flower today?"
The empress in green asked while swaying the fairy dew.
She was happy for her friend's visit, but no matter whether she was happy or angry, it would not show on her face, and she would always look indifferent.
Compared to her, Taizhen is much more casual.
She sat by the pool, opened her hands, breathed in the fresh air around her, and said with a smile: "Chang'an is too stuffy, and there are those so-called princes and nobles who all stink, but they always want to enter my yard, even if Those five-color chickens I raise smell better than them!"
The Empress in Tsing Yi smiled when she heard this and said: "The noble family, the princes and nobles, may seem to be rich and luxurious, but they are just corpses and insects that have not been removed, and the blood has not been removed. In the end, they cannot escape the withered bones and loess in the grave." Fate.”
"Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, when he met the Queen Mother of the West, was judged to be filthy in body and mind, with brain bleeding, unclean internal organs, and weak bones, let alone those ordinary high-ranking officials."
After hearing her words, Taizhen nodded, but also put forward a slightly different opinion.
"The human emperors of this generation have extraordinary courage and extremely strong dragon energy. They can be regarded as great talents and strategists. If they can inspire the world and magnify mountains and rivers, they will be considered to have immeasurable merits and virtues, far better than ordinary immortals."
The empress in blue pondered slightly and said, "How do you think so highly of Li Shimin?"
Taizhen smiled and said: "He visited the thatched cottage three times and wanted to ask me to be the leader of the world, but I rejected him all the time. However, because of his sincerity, I recommended you to him."
The empress in green shook her head and laughed, saying: "The leader of the world may seem majestic, but he is the target of public criticism. Let me tell you why you suddenly came to see me. It turns out that you are working as a lobbyist for others."
Taizhen took her hand and begged for mercy: "Sister, forget it if you don't agree. I just mentioned it in passing, but I have no intention of being a lobbyist for a stinky man."
After a pause, Taizhen's eyes lit up with a strange light, and he said: "Sister, I heard that you and my junior brother... are practicing double cultivation?"
The fire of gossip ignited in her eyes. Perhaps this was the reason why she traveled thousands of miles to the Qingming Realm this time.
The Queen in Tsing Yi paused her hands and her eyes wavered slightly.
"It's just a matter of urgency."
Taizhen smiled sweetly and said: "Sister, you are aloof and arrogant, your nature is like glass, unstained by dust. I have never heard of you being willing to follow the authority of other men."
"Even if the matter is urgent, the fact that you are willing to do it with my junior brother shows that you are not repelled by him in your heart, and you even have a good impression of him, sister, right?"
The empress in green's red lips parted slightly, wanting to deny it, but she didn't say it after all.
She has a noble nature, as bright as the moon, and is the one who disdains lies the most.
Silence is actually an answer.

Originally, I was going to update another chapter today, but I have to work overtime to complete some urgent work later, so I will wait until tomorrow. Currently, I owe four additional chapters. When I think of this, I feel so heartbroken that I can't breathe~~
