Peach wood

The emperor of heaven has always chosen people casually, she is not like a mortal emperor who values ​​family background, let alone age and appearance.If she had selected people based on their seniority, then the book pockets back then would definitely not have caught her eye.

But anyway, it was too casual this time.Shuhuai never imagined that the old man he met in the mortal world turned out to be a colleague in the Tiangong in the future.Although this old man does have a bit of divinity, but he has not practiced before, and the aura in his body is not too full, and he does not know how Mu Hua found him.

The old man is now sent by the Heavenly Emperor to take charge of Tianlei, but Shuhuai always feels that he will not stay in this position for too long.The kind-hearted old man cannot wield such power. Maybe after a while, the Emperor of Heaven will find a suitable candidate and send him to the Tiangong Pharmacy to make alchemy.

But the old man himself doesn't care about such things. To him, there is no difference between living in the human world and living in the Heavenly Palace. Similarly, there is no difference between working here and working there.No matter where he is, as long as he has that puppy with him, he will be satisfied.

After the little dog turned into a human, he didn't learn human language without a teacher. Now he can only speak a few simple words and sentences, and he can't speak more complicated ones.Shu Huai sat in the old man's small yard, fiddled with the grass under his feet in boredom, his eyes followed Mo Yun all the time.Mo Yun is teaching his little brother carefully, seeing his focused expression, Shuhuai can't help thinking that he likes children very much.

For children, Mo Yun has double standards, at least Shuhuai doesn't think he will like the little dragon in the South China Sea.

"When I first arrived in Tiangong, there are many things that I'm not used to, but it's better to take my time." The old man brought two cups of tea, and handed one of them to Shuhuai, who hurriedly got up to take it.Even though he has lived for more than 800 years, his heart is still a child, and his experience in the human world is no more than that of the other party, so facing this old man, he always maintains great respect.As long as it is a senior he recognizes, he respects him very much, so the Emperor of Heaven likes him very much, and this old man also likes him very much.

"Where did you get the chance? To put it bluntly, I work in the Hades, and I always thought that I would meet you there again." Shuhuai said with some embarrassment after taking a sip of tea.Indeed, the old man is very old, and he may not know when he will follow the cycle of heaven, leave the human world and come to the underworld.He was ready to greet each other in Hades, and never wanted to meet again, but it was actually in Tiangong.

"It's not a chance, no one can tell, it's best not to think about it." The old man lay on the rattan chair, squinting his eyes to see the clouds in the sky, "It's you, are you a god, or a so-called human immortal? When people brought me here, I heard them mention you, saying that you rejected the position of Emperor of Heaven, so what is going on?"

"It's a long story... I'm afraid it will start 800 years ago." Shuhuai is not a god, nor is he a human immortal. As for the rejection of the emperor's position, it is even more difficult to explain clearly.He took another sip of tea, his eyes were empty, and his thoughts flew back 800 years involuntarily.

At that time, Yan Qingran was still the prime minister in the human world, and Wen Yanzhi was toiling between the human world and the underworld, fantasizing from time to time that the new Lord Ming was a beautiful and gentle woman; When he was born, Shu Huai had just received the Heavenly Emperor's Sword from Mu Hua, and met Mo Hui, Gong Fei, and Qing Mei; at that time, Xue Yi was still alive and well, and Wan Zhu slept in the long-burning lamp all day long, and Mu You He still doesn't like mortals; at that time, the emerald cup that Silin was living in was still untainted by blood, and Yan Hengrui was still a normal emperor; ending.

Today, the time of the world is passing by like a fleeting horse, and there is no beautiful woman sitting in the hall of the underworld as Wen Yanzhi imagined, and the emperor has a bad temper, and he can't find the slightest gentleness when he was a prime minister; Mo Yun and Chang Qing One match is a headache, Shu Huai rejected the position of Emperor of Heaven, and even wanted to return Mu Hua's sword; Mo Hui was still sleeping, Feng Yi and Gong Fei fell to the heaven, Qing Mei was still lost, and he didn't know where he had come. Where is it? Snow clothes and night candles are wandering around the world, looking around, pulling Bai Zhi along the way, and bringing one or two gadgets from the human world to Mu You in the Dragon Palace in Beihai; He returned, but after he returned, he could not find his old enemy and the youngest son he recognized; Cunxue and Ruyuan were imprisoned in the underworld, and they were not allowed to step into the heaven again in this life.

Everything is changing, and everything is different from before. This is a process that all living beings must go through.

"It's really a long story." Looking at Mo Yun under the sacred tree, the old man suddenly asked, "Is this your little friend? Is he recovered from his illness and woke up today?"

Shuhuai's eyes turned hot: "Yes. He recovered from his illness and woke up."

Mo Yun taught the little brother to write a lot of characters, and thoughtfully asked the other person's name. The little dog squatted opposite him, tilted his head and thought for a while, and drew a "nine" crookedly on the ground.

"When I picked up this good grandson, it happened to be the ninth day of the first lunar month. The word nine is a big number, and it lasts forever." The old man sat up slowly while holding the handle of the wicker chair, and called out, "Little Nine! Come here!"

Xiao Jiu jumped up happily, step by step, and ran towards the old man here.Mo Yun followed behind him, not walking fast, but taking great strides.After finishing his tea, Shuhuai put the cup on the low table beside him, and bowed to the old man: "Master Jiu, if you want to find someone to chat with in the future, this junior is always here for you."

"I never told you that I am the ninth in my family." The old man laughed, "You are so funny, kid."

"Working in the underworld, it is inevitable that I have some curiosity about the book of life and death." Shuhuai replied, "Since I know you, I am naturally curious about you. Ninth Master, do you think I have read any records about you?"

No need to answer again, the answer is already there.Jiu Ye hugged his grandson and lay back on the rattan chair, with a relaxed expression.Shu Huaixin said that the number nine is really interesting, people always seem to like to use it.What is "walking after a meal, live to 99", what is 81, what is forever, forever...

In fact, everything in this world has no special meaning at the beginning. It is because of people that they are endowed with special meaning.

Humans are very creative creatures.Shuhuai thinks that the senior who built the Three Realms Terrace may be the first mortal born in the ancient prehistoric era.

Or, the Tower of the Three Realms was not built by one person, but by the joint efforts of tens of thousands of people.

Regarding the origin of the Three Realms Terrace, Shu Huai later asked Mu You.Mu You said that all living beings were first born from the place where the sun rose and died at the place where the sun set, and no one can tell what the dead people have done.

The place where the sun rises is located in the east, which is the great sacred tree that soars into the sky and penetrates the three realms.At the very beginning, all beings opened their eyes at the top of the Shenmu, and they chose where they wanted to go.Then the clean air rises to become the sky, the turbid air sinks to become the earth, and the heavenly palace, the human world and even the underworld are formed from then on.

And the land of sunset in the west, with the precipitation of the earth, also sank deeper into the ground.Hades is located below the ground, and to the west of Hades, deeper than it, is the original Three Realms Platform.From the very beginning, there was no sign of life at the intersection of the three realms, because everything in the world would be destroyed once it approached it.

Only when the soul dies can a soul be produced, and only when the soul appears can a real underworld be produced.Before Hades was formally formed, tens of thousands of ordinary people had died. Shuhuai had never seen what happened to them at the Three Realms Terrace, but he had a vague guess in his heart.

Why is there a depression leading to a deeper part of the ground where even humans, gods, demons and ghosts cannot reach?

And why, at the bottom of this abyss, there is a radiant soul-fixing orb?

The soul-fixing bead fixes the soul, so is there anything that can restrain the soul?

Under the stage of the Three Realms, Shuhuai not only saw rocks and rotten trees, but also saw a barren land, and there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood and bones.

Life is so beautiful, but its death is so cruel.No matter whether you are huge or small, no matter whether you are old or young, you must step into the grave step by step under the impetus of the way of heaven.

The reason why the soul-fixing orb is so mysterious is because it absorbed all the souls that came to the Three Realms Terrace before the formation of the underworld.Only the condensate of tens of thousands of souls can suppress the living souls that need to be suppressed later.The opportunity for Mo Yun to return to the Yang world was not only given by Shuhuai, but also given by his ancestors in the prehistoric era.The life of a mortal is so miraculous.

"Teaching children is really tiring." Ever since he left the heaven, Mo Yun kept nagging, Shuhuai felt that he took Xiao Jiu too seriously, so he was tired of the responsibilities on his shoulders.Xiao Jiu is not unintelligent, just from the fact that Mo Yun taught him things and he learned so quickly, it can be seen that he is a shrewd child.

In fact, Shuhuai also likes well-behaved children. He is even interested in kittens like Tong Xin, who show their teeth and claws. However, this does not mean that he agrees with everything related to children.

such as--

"Wake up, okay, even if you want a better and smarter child, I can't give it to you!" Shuhuai pushed Mo Yun's head away, so angry that he wanted to grab the bamboo stick in the corner and beat the little bastard. a meal.

Mo Yun tore open the neckline of Shuhuai restlessly, trying to further implement his plan of creating a human.Shuhuai fought hard, but lost in the end, and was suppressed by this unreasonable and determined tyrant.

"You're also a fucking fool!" Shuhuai was pressed on the bed, still cursing, "Cowardly and incompetent, licentious! I'm yuck!"

"Look at you, you look so exhausted, didn't you sleep well last night?" The ghost envoy took a pen and scribbled on the paper, taking a break from his busy schedule, and took a moment to glance at Shuhuai.

Shuhuai patted the table angrily, and said loudly: "This little bastard must have learned from you! I don't care, you are responsible for breaking him back!"

"If you have time to come to my teacher to inquire about the crime, why don't you find the reason from yourself, and then find the reason from your little wolf cub." The ghost emissary raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not intend to respond to Shu Huai's criticism, "If he I don’t want to, if I stuff him with ten or eight books, he won’t do it either.”

"I won't tell you anymore, give me the key, and I'll go find Cunxue." Shuhuai was furious, "I can't afford to offend you, but I can always offend Cunxue."

"He's also very imaginary now, so take it easy, and try not to do anything you can talk about." The ghost emissary bent down and took out a large bunch of keys from the drawer, and threw them into the pocket of the book, "There are a lot of keys. I don’t remember which key opens which lock, so you try it slowly, anyway, you have plenty of time and are very leisurely.”

Wen Yanzhi has a good memory, all the keys in the Underworld belong to him, and he has never memorized them. If you give him a key, he can instantly tell which lock the key corresponds to.As soon as he said he couldn't remember, Shuhuai knew he was talking nonsense, immediately snorted, shook the bunch of keys, walked away with his back supported.

Not long after Shuhuai left, Mo Yun, who couldn't find anyone, came in a hurry. Just about to ask, he saw the other party waving his hand and pointing in a direction.Mo Yun was overjoyed and went in the direction pointed by the ghost envoy, but he didn't know that the direction Wen Yanzhi pointed him to was opposite to where Shu Huai really went.

When he arrived at the place where Cunxue was imprisoned, Shuhuai saw the pitch-black gate, and suddenly he felt angry, and he kicked the door open, regardless of whether there were ghosts passing by who heard the movement.The inside of the door was originally pitch black with no light, but now that Shuhuai opened the door, there was light inside immediately.With her eyes closed, Cunxue sat up from the bed, groped her way to the ground, retreated to the corner vigilantly, pressed her back against the wall, and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's your father." Shuhuai replied in a vicious voice, and his moral cultivation was completely thrown to the bottom of the sea.

He originally thought that Cunxue would be angry and would scold him angrily, but after hearing his voice, Cunxue was actually relieved, moved slowly, and was about to lie back on the bed and continue to sleep.

Is this looking down on yourself?The book smiled angrily.He walked to Cunxue's bed, dragged her up and put her in order, and said, "Don't sleep, let me scold you."

"Are you sick?" Cunxue finally opened her eyes and looked at him, "People with good fortune really take it easy. Don't be complacent, if one day I escape from the underworld, I will repay you twice as much for what you have done to me today. "

As soon as this remark came out, Shuhuai immediately became excited. After being locked up for so long, Cunxue was as interesting as ever.His eyes were shining, and he circled Cunxue twice, like a hungry wolf that caught a hare.Ever since he was almost bitten to death by Ruyuan, Cunxue was very sensitive to other people's eyes. When Shuhuai saw him like this, he immediately jumped up, turned around, grabbed a pillow, and hit Shuhuai heavily on the head.

Shu Huai was not angry at all, after Mo Yun came back, all his resentment and anger dissipated, but at this moment when he was hit by Cun Xue, the flame just aroused by Mo Yun shot up to a higher level.He remembered Wen Yanzhi's entrustment when he was leaving, and rolled his eyes. He didn't intend to argue with Cunxue, but calmly picked up the pillow and hugged it in his arms: "You are living in the underworld, but you still have to sleep with me?" Do you feel used to it? I heard from Mingjun that you are the first god to be imprisoned here since the establishment of Hades. How do you feel about being the No.1 who created the world?"

"Oh? I'm No.1?" Cunxue sneered, "Then the bastard behind you is the number one dragon?"

Ruyuan's voice came from behind Shuhuai at the right time: "Yes, you are right."

"You are here, but I am afraid that you will be in trouble." Shuhuai touched his chin, thoughtfully, "I planned to catch up with you and scold you a few more words, but now it seems that I should go to ask for instructions first." Jun, it would be better for him to keep the two of you separate."

He did whatever he liked, and Cunxue didn't bother to listen to him, so she chuckled a few times, snatched the pillow from his arms, and returned to the bed, wrapping the quilt over her head.Shuhuai saw that this person had lost his expectation of life, so he shrugged his shoulders and was about to go out and lock the door, but at this moment, Ruyuan suddenly started to shake the iron fence and kept calling Shuhuai's name.

"If you really want to separate me from him, you might as well cut a piece of his body and feed it to me first." Ruyuan looked at Cunxue with greedy eyes, "It's okay to let some blood, I'm not picky."

"Brother, you are a bit scary." Shuhuai rubbed his arms, feeling goosebumps all over his body.No wonder Cunxue is so terrified of Ruyuan, and she can say such words without changing her face. This dragon has indeed reached a certain level of madness.He took a step back, away from Ruyuan, and then replied: "I can't decide this matter, I advise you to be prepared to go hungry... You are too demanding, if you want to eat rabbits, maybe you can eat rabbits." Jun can still show kindness and let me go to the human world to catch a few for you."

"Damn it." Cunxue poked her head out from under the quilt, staring at Shuhuai, "You treat me as a rare ingredient?"

"You said that, I didn't say it." Shuhuai shook the pile of keys in his hand, went out the door with a clang, and locked it with a rattle.

Cunxue hates Shuhuai, she hated it from the very beginning, and she can't change it till now.In those utterly boring stories, it was always about the villain repenting, but with Cunxue, this possibility never existed.After Shuhuai left, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he threw off the quilt suddenly, without even thinking about putting on his outer robe, and went straight to Ruyuan, who was separated from him by an iron fence.

"Oh... what are you going to do?" Ruyuan had never seen Cunxue actively approaching him when he was calm, and a strange feeling came over his heart, and he was actually startled by the other party and backed away a bit.For a predator, this is undoubtedly extremely embarrassing. Ruyuan realized that she couldn't laugh or cry immediately, but Cunxue's expression at the moment was very strange, even if it was him, he didn't dare to approach rashly.

Cunxue squatted not far in front of him, and stretched out her hand to him: "Come here, bite me."

"I...you..." Ru Yuan turned pale with shock, "Is there any poison on your body?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Cunxue became impatient, "Eat me like you eat your wife! Don't you understand?"

"I don't understand." Ru Yuan rolled his eyes, "It's nice to be alive."

He thought it was good to live like this, but Cunxue didn't think so at all.Cunxue didn't know why the bastard changed his temper again, and didn't even want the food delivered to his door.

"Rather than being bullied every day, it would be better to die." Seeing that Ruyuan was not coming, Cunxue grabbed his clothes and dragged him in front of her, "How did you eat your wife's soul back then, and now How to eat me."

"Are you serious? I'm not wishful thinking?" Ru Yuan was grabbed by his collar, but he didn't feel offended at all, instead he raised his eyebrows at him.

Of course Cunxue was telling the truth, he was too lazy to entangle with Shuhuai and others, let alone confess his thoughts to Ruyuan.He pressed the back of Ruyuan's head, and sent the blood vessels on the side of the neck upward, and a scarlet light flashed in Ruyuan's eyes.

"You brought it to your door by yourself, then you can't blame me." Ruyuan changed the place, bit down, and pierced that layer of skin, "This process will be very long, if it's too unbearable, you can call it out, I don't mind mind."

"Stop talking nonsense, eat as fast as you can!" Cun Xue clenched the railing, ready to usher in complete relief.
