After listening to Li Daoxuan's narration, the Empress in Tsing Yi did not speak immediately, but lightly twisted her jade hands and began to perform the magic of divine arithmetic.
Her fingers were as tender as green onions, white as jade, slender and slender, with a crystal luster and an indescribable elegance.
After a long time, the empress in green opened her eyes and frowned slightly.
"This trip is extremely dangerous, but it may not be without a turn. If you plan it properly, you may be able to achieve what you want."
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan felt happy. The empress said this, which means that this operation is feasible!
"It's just... I'm afraid there are still a lot of problems with your current plan."
The empress suddenly said such a sentence, which made Li Daoxuan a little confused.
Then she picked up the writing brush and lightly wrote a few words on the paper - Kill Hu Ling!
"If you want to complete this plan, there are a few things you need to pay special attention to. The first is to find the order to kill Hu."
Li Daoxuan looked stern, and even the empress said so. It seemed that it was indeed necessary to find and kill Hu Ling.
The empress wrote a few more words - Zhou Laodao.
"This person has something to hide, and what he said is false and true. We must be careful."
Li Daoxuan frowned. It seemed that Zhou Laodao was not as honest as he showed.
"Third, it's the girl named Mo Mo."
The empress' eyes flashed slightly as she read the name, not knowing what she was thinking.
Just when Li Daoxuan thought she had finished speaking, the empress continued: "The fourth one is the statues of Shen Tu and Yu Lei."
Li Daoxuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect this.
"My dear, those two statues sometimes turn their heads suddenly. Why is that?"
The empress in green looked at him and said calmly: "Do you really think that's just a statue of a god?"
Li Daoxuan was startled. For some reason, a chill came from his back.
"Those two statues of gods were not carved from stone, but were transformed into the flesh bodies of Shen Tu and Yu Lei. Even after countless years, they still retain some residual divinity."
"In addition, when they turned their heads, they were not looking at you, but at the peach tree."
"peach?"
Li Daoxuan said in confusion: "My dear, what is going on? Is the peach tree not dead yet?"
The Empress in Tsing Yi sighed: "This is a very old story. I also accidentally read it in an ancient book. I didn't expect that everything is true."
"In ancient times, Dushuo Mountain was actually the underworld. No matter whether it was a human or an animal, after death, the soul would enter the mountain and not enter reincarnation."
"Later, more and more dead souls came to Dushuo Mountain, which could no longer be accommodated. The Jade Emperor ordered people to build the Gate of Ghosts and perfected the underworld and the six paths of reincarnation. From that time on, Dushuo Mountain gradually declined."
"But a new problem has also arisen, that is, the road to the underworld is very long, and many souls will choose to sneak back to the earth. The Jade Emperor is going to choose two gods to guard the gate of hell and prevent the souls from escaping."
Li Daoxuan's eyes moved and he said: "So you chose Shen Tu and Yu Lei?"
The empress in blue shook her head and said, "Yes and no."
"Standing guard in the dark gate of hell for eternity. No one is willing to accept this kind of task. The immortals blame each other. There is no other way. The Jade Emperor used his own divine blood and bones to create two children and named them Shen Tu and Yu Lei. .”
Li Daoxuan was shocked, Shen Tu and Yu Lei turned out to be the blood of the Jade Emperor!
He possesses Erlang Shen's bloodline magical power. In other words, aren't he, Shen Tu and Yu Lei now relatives?
However, Shen Tu and Yu Lei have very ugly and fierce looks. It seems that the Jade Emperor is not as clever as Nuwa, and the children he created are not very good-looking. Of course, it may be that they have no intentions.
Li Daoxuan could imagine the fate of these two children.
He obviously has the blood of the Emperor of Heaven, but he is destined to guard the gate of hell for the rest of his life, doing a job that other gods hate and despise.
"The Jade Emperor ordered the divine bird to take the two children to Dushuo Mountain and place them under the peach tree. He ordered the peach god to take good care of them and raise them up, and then guard the gate of hell forever."
"The Peach God treats them as their own children. She grows peaches to satisfy their hunger, cuts tree sap to quench their thirst, and protects them from wind and rain. Shen Tu and Yu Lei also regard the Peach God as their mother."
"After the two grew up, the Jade Emperor ordered them to guard the gate of hell. Shen Tu and Yu Lei were originally unwilling, but under the persuasion of the Peach God, they finally compromised. From then on, the world was peaceful and no souls escaped again. "
Li Daoxuan sneered in his heart. If he were Shen Tu and Yu Lei, how could he give up? Something would definitely happen.
As expected, the empress continued: "It didn't take long for them to get tired of the boring guarding work. After learning about the prosperity of the world from the mouths of the dead, they began to yearn for the outside world. Later, they began to sneak away to the world. From three to five days, to three to five years, the time is getting longer and longer.”
"The Peach God saw this in his eyes and reminded them many times, but was ignored by him. They even said that the other party was just a peach tree and was of low origin. Why should he control them who have the blood of the Emperor of Heaven?"
Li Daoxuan secretly sighed, it seems that even the gods have a rebellious period.
When they were young, they regarded the Peach God as their mother, but as they grew up and learned that they were of the noble bloodline of the Emperor of Heaven, they began to look down on the Peach God, perhaps because they were afraid of being laughed at by others.
He had a vague feeling that there might be a huge turning point next.
"Peach God was very sad, but had no choice but to do anything. Until one day, Shen Tu and Yu Lei left again, and the ghosts took the opportunity to riot. One hundred thousand evil ghosts escaped from the gate of hell and caused a series of disasters after returning to the earth."
"When the Jade Emperor received the news, he was furious and prepared to execute Shen Tu and Yu Lei. At this time, Tao Shen did something and saved their lives."
"What's up?"
There was a trace of emotion in the eyes of the empress, and she said: "The Peach God was born in Dushuo Mountain and has a strong attraction to ghosts. In order to make up for the mistakes of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, she chose to sacrifice herself and bloom all the essence of life for three thousand miles. The peach branches are all covered with peach blossoms, revealing their youthful beauty, attracting hundreds of thousands of ghosts from the underworld."
"Those evil ghosts gnawed at her body like crazy demons and absorbed her life essence. Finally, they all got drunk and were imprisoned in the underworld again, but Peach God was already covered with bruises and was dying."
Li Daoxuan was silent. He thought of the peach tree on Dushuo Mountain that was riddled with holes. Not a single piece of bark was intact, as if an army of locusts had passed through it.
He felt a little moved.
The peach blossoms blooming three thousand miles away are so magnificent, but they are the last moments of a mother’s youth.
As a god, if she really wanted to resist, how could she be afraid of a mere ghost?
Just to make up for her child's fault, she chose to suffer silently, watching herself being eaten by the evil ghost.
Coming from a humble background and a minor god, she could only use this method to appease the anger of the Emperor of Heaven and save her children.
"Later, the Emperor of Heaven was moved by her and released Shen Tu and Yu Lei, saying that if they could guard the Guimen Pass Yiyuanhui without making mistakes, they could resurrect the Peach God."
"Shen Tu and Yu Lei cried loudly in front of their mother's body. In order to express their wish to resurrect their mother, they took the initiative to turn themselves into stone statues and guard them forever. The peach blossoms would not bloom and the statue would not live."
"From then on, there were no mistakes in the gate of hell, but someone discovered that every time Shenshi, which is the moment when the peach god died, the stone statues of Shen Tu and Yu Lei would turn their heads to look at Dushuo Mountain, as if to see if the peach blossoms were in bloom."
After listening to this story, Li Daoxuan was silent for a long time.
It turns out that this is the secret of Dushuo Mountain.
This is actually a tragedy. Even if Shen Tu and Yu Lei guard the Yiyuanhui without making any mistakes, Tao Shen is destined to never be resurrected because those gods and Buddhas have disappeared.
If Shen Tu and Yu Lei hadn't turned into stone statues, I'm afraid they would have disappeared now.
This is destined to be a fruitless wait.
"The stone statues of Shen Tu and Yu Lei still have their obsessions, and their divine power still protects Dushuo Mountain. This is why the Styx cannot disturb you after you enter the mountain."
Li Daoxuan suddenly realized that this was the case.
"Empress, why do you say that one of the keys to the success of my plan is the statues of Shen Tu and Yu Lei?"
This is what Li Daoxuan is most puzzled about. There is no such thing as these two statues in his plan.
The Empress in Tsing Yi shook her head and said: "I don't know the specific details, but this is just the clue I have deduced."
Li Dao
You must know that this trip involves the Xudu Ghost King. Master Wu Dabao has also calculated it, but nothing can be calculated because Xudu is too strong.
"By the way, empress, when I come here this time, I also want to ask you to help me. If I can capture the Xudu Ghost King, then I can merge the Underworld and the Green Underworld -"
The Empress in Tsing Yi shook her head and said: "I can't go to the underworld with you. The Yang Returning Array cannot block my breath. As soon as I show up, I will definitely wake up my weak belly."
"Mother, in fact, it doesn't matter even if the empty stomach is awakened. As long as we are strong enough, we can conquer the underworld!"
"You, you take the empty belly too easily."
She sighed softly and said: "No one of these old monsters who have lived for thousands of years is easy to deal with. You must not be careless and underestimate the enemy."
Li Daoxuan was a little disappointed. If the empress didn't take action, would he really have the confidence to defeat the Xudu Ghost King?
"However, I just said that I can't go to the underworld with you, but it doesn't mean that I can't help you."
Seeing Li Daoxuan's disappointed look, the Queen in Tsing Yi's eyes softened a bit. She sighed softly, waved her cloud sleeves, and sent a scroll to Li Daoxuan's hand.
"This painting must not be opened before seeing the true form of Xudu."
She said quietly.
"My dear, what is painted here?"
"You will know then. Although I cannot accompany you to the underworld, this painting can accompany you."
"Remember, you can only open this painting after you see the true form of Xudu."
Li Dao
There was incense in the temple, and a woman was worshiping devoutly, praying for the safe return of her husband, who was doing corvée work.
Li Daoxuan looked at the beautiful and holy statue of the empress, bowed deeply, and then left quietly.
