Peach wood

There were several young girls standing in front of Mingjun, all about fifteen or sixteen years old, but they were pale and lifeless, they looked like ghosts.It is actually not uncommon for girls to die unexpectedly at the age of flowers and bones, and the king of the underworld would not care about such things, but their lives should not be terminated, and they came to the underworld prematurely under the manipulation of others.

They still can't accept the fact that they have died, and some of them have always wanted to leave here and return to Yangshi to find their relatives.The ghost coaxed them all to come back with all kinds of talk, but when they finally came to their senses, they all fell silent again, refusing to say a word.

They were unwilling to open their mouths, and Mingjun did not force him, he was still busy with his own affairs. His duty was to maintain the normal operation of the cycle of life and death, and talking with the little girl did not include it.

Previously, Gong Fei came to the underworld to look for Mo Yun, and promised the Lord of the Underworld to investigate for him in the imperial city of the human world. At this moment, Yan Qingran sat in the hall, took a page of paper handed by the ghost envoy, and looked at it full of words. , pressed the forehead wearily.Gong Fei's handwriting is good-looking and clean, but the font is too small, and the words and sentences are too simple. Ming Jun read the paper several times, but he didn't understand what was written on it.

If there are words or sentences that you don't understand, you have to ask the ghost.Mingjun was exhausted physically and mentally, so he handed the paper to the side, and Wen Yanzhi immediately took it over, and began to explain it to him word by word.Although Gong Fei wrote a few words, there is a lot of content in it, such as the names, ages, causes of death and family background of those girls, she wrote them down on the paper - but it would be better if they could be more detailed.

This incident is a complete replica of the incident 800 years ago, and the more Ming Jun heard about it, the more upset he became.Cunxue didn't know how many little girls like Xueyi who were ignorant of the world would be killed. If he hadn't attacked Shuhuai, Yan Qingran would almost think that he was targeting all the girls in the Three Realms.

However, these girls in the hall are probably more miserable than Xue Yi back then. The child who was crying and shouting to go back to her parents was actually sold out by her own parents. It's a pity that she didn't know it and still stubbornly believed that her relatives Still waiting for her to come home.Her family was so poor that there was not a grain of rice left in the pot, and in order to have rice in the pot, her family exchanged her for rice.

This kind of situation has not been uncommon for many years. When Yan Qingran was still the prime minister in the human world, he had heard of such incidents of selling children and daughters among the people. People lose their humanity.

Bathing in the blood of a young girl can keep you young forever. This sounds like an absurd and cruel rumor, but sometimes the rich and powerful would rather believe the rumor than accept the death that will come sooner or later.People are always afraid of death, especially when nothing is more precious to them than life.

"Take her away first." Ming Jun noticed that Xue Yi was standing sullenly in a corner of the hall. She had very good ears, and she might have heard the conversation between herself and the ghost.Wen Yanzhi glanced up at her, and walked down the steps to take her outside the hall, but Xueyi suddenly became stubborn and insisted on standing here and listening to the whole thing from beginning to end.

If she wants to listen, then it's okay to let her listen beside, Mingjun sighed, and called the girls one by one according to the list that the ghost envoy had just sorted out.The girls probably guessed that something more terrible and urgent was about to happen, so they no longer resisted communicating with Hades. With their cooperation, the context of the whole incident became clearer, and the huge conspiracy hidden behind it gradually emerged. out of the water.

At the same time, in the slightly dim room, Shu Huai held Mo Yun's hand and gradually fell asleep.He called the little demon king over, but he didn't have the energy to speak, he just gently hooked the other's fingers, as if this would give him a lot of peace of mind.Mo Yun knew that he was prone to lack of security, so he let him pull him, but this time they were all injured, and no one could send spiritual power to the other, they could only rely on themselves to recover.

The monster race has a keen sense of hearing, and Mo Yun, as the strongest among the monster race, naturally has more acute senses. Although Gong Fei is used to hiding her aura, from the moment she uttered the first word, Mo Yun could hear it. whose voice is this.Of course, Mo Yun heard the unclear words she said to the ghost envoy later, which also made him anxious, and he wanted to find out what happened.

Mo Yun didn't care about the human world, but Shu Huai cared, so he cared with Shu Huai.Shuhuai sometimes talks about Qingguang and Xihailongnv, and Xueyi who was still playing around in the human world back then. Their deaths have become his heart disease. Mo Yun only listens to him, and he never speaks, but those Keeping everything in mind, he came out from time to time and stabbed everywhere, reminding them to ensure the safety of the human world and not allow Cunxue to kill.

Now that Shuhuai is injured, it is time to recuperate, and Mo Yun doesn't want him to worry about it anymore.Although Cunxue is full of nonsense, but there is a good saying, Shuhuai has indeed paid too much for the world, this is the responsibility that the emperor of heaven forced on him, and it is also a kind of harshness he is to himself, he must set aside some time For himself, and what he can't do, Mo Yun is happy to help him.

Shuhuai moved unconsciously in his sleep, and his fingertips slipped from Mo Yun's palm. The latter carefully pulled up the quilt to cover his arm, and then walked out of the room lightly, preparing to go to the palace of the underworld to find Gong Fei.

He passed from the side of the main hall, which happened to be not the same road as Wanzhu and Changqing at the other end.Those two had excess energy, they had nowhere to use their brute strength, and felt that they were idle if they were idle, so they might as well help the Underworld with some chores, so they offered to carry the idle items on behalf of the ghost.Wen Yanzhi had to help Mingjun with questions, and was eager for someone to do the work for him, so he took them to a warehouse outside the main hall, and expressed his gratitude to them for their brave actions in saving the orphans, widows, and old ghosts. Moved, he ran back to the main hall in a hurry, leaving the two of them in a daze facing the room full of ashes and the boxes stacked on the roof.

Fortunately, the ghost made a list in the midst of his busy schedule, telling them which things should be thrown away and which things should be used, otherwise, these two people in the ocean of wooden boxes might not have a clue.

Eating and living with Fengyi for a period of time, Wanzhu was also infected with a little disease. She touched one of the wooden boxes according to the list listed by Wen Yanzhi, and found that it was dusty, so she moved it first. The thought of cleaning the warehouse.The sundries in Hades had been piled up for at least a hundred years, and the ashes were all old, and Changqing couldn't take it anymore, so the two of them turned around together, took local materials, and went to fish the water in the Styx River.

The water of the Styx River is not drinkable, but it can still be used for wiping things. Wanzhu dragged out several boxes containing useful items to wipe them clean, and picked one up to go outside.Changqing was holding more than her, and he couldn't even see the road at the moment, so he could only shake his head while walking to avoid bumping into walls or other obstacles.The lamp spirit has figured out the habits of ghost envoys. This guy is similar to the black dragon who is dangling around with a box next to him. He likes to collect things that look beautiful but are actually useless. Put ash on one side, and then clean it again after a while, and clean up a large batch at a time.

Before they passed the door of Shuhuai's room, they happened to see Mo Yun go in. Wanzhu saw that the stack in Chang Qing's arms seemed to be falling off, and hurriedly called Mo Yun to help him, but the little demon king didn't seem to hear it at all. , closed the door backhanded.Deng Ling blinked, thinking that maybe he was too worried about Shuhuai that he couldn't hear other voices, so thinking about it, he let him go.

Those sundries kept dangling in Changqing's hands, making Wanzhu tremble all the way, but until Changqing bent down to put them down, nothing fell out.Heilong was probably familiar with moving things, so he was handy, he swung his arm, and suddenly pulled out an old book from a pile of waste paper.

The cover of the book attracted Wanzhu's attention. She stood on tiptoe to read the contents, but Changqing yelled loudly when she opened the first page, and then raised her hand high, saying that this kind of thing should not be read by women of.Wan Zhu annoyed others to say such things the most in his life, and immediately grabbed his arm to reach for the book, Changqing was pinched by her nails, and immediately retracted his hand, and when he retracted like this, the book was taken away by Wan Zhu Caught it right.

This word seems to be written by Wen Yanzhi, as for the content——

Wan Zhu shut the book with a snap, and several strange pictures appeared in front of her eyes.Changqing's statement is wrong, not only women should not read this book, but any decent person is not suitable to read it.

Thinking of the ghost envoy's face as cold as ice, Lantern shuddered.

Don't judge people by their appearance, maybe the guy who puts a cold face on you all the year round has a passionate heart behind his back.

The wooden door rattled, Shuhuai turned over on the bed, and put one hand on his cheek, which was as cold as an ice pick in the twelfth lunar month.He was suddenly awakened by the biting cold, and suddenly opened his eyes to look at the black figure in front of him. It was Mo Yun standing beside the bed, but that face made him look more and more unfamiliar, as if he had never known such a face before. number one.

"You..." Shuhuai realized that something was wrong, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and his attitude became stiff, "...What are you going to do?"

"Come and see you." The man on the opposite side looked as usual, his eyes were tightly glued to him, but at the moment he felt extremely uncomfortable in his chest, he avoided that hand, raised his body to touch the saber under the pillow, Prepare to defend yourself with this.Fortunately, Mo Yun had a long memory, and when he left, he put the sword within his reach.

Seeing Shuhuai make such a move, the impostor knew that he had exposed his flaws. He stroked his chin with great interest and asked curiously, "How did you recognize me?"

"You don't need to identify, you have your own perception." Shuhuai stepped back cautiously, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, "It seems that my sword didn't hit the real point."

"No, that sword of yours is indeed cruel enough, so now I can only manipulate such a puppet to chat with you." The face remained unchanged, but the voice suddenly changed. It was Cun Xue who had just escaped not long ago. .Shuhuai suddenly thought that maybe he should ask Fengyi to go back to Tiangong to take a look. If Cunxue himself is recuperating in Tiangong, then this will be a golden opportunity for them.But he was seriously injured, and his mind was not sober, so he completely forgot about this incident. Now that Cunxue suddenly popped out, he was helpless.

The god seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, and immediately chuckled: "Don't guess, I'm not in Tiangong."

It's not in the Heavenly Palace, so it's hidden in the Human World?Shuhuai suddenly drew out the sword, and put it across the puppet's neck, but he just woke up, his arm was a little soft, and the puppet's strength was surprisingly strong, and it suppressed his sword hand in turn, and the other hand held it. His throat, his back hit the bed hard, a burning pain.

"I've talked about it, it's too boring to use a sword." The slender fingers tapped on the side of Shuhuai's neck, as if they were going to pierce his flesh in the next moment, bringing out a puddle of blood.

Shuhuai's throat rolled, as if he wanted to scold him a few words, but because of the scruples about that hand, he couldn't scold him in the end.

The puppet stared into his eyes for a long while, and suddenly asked, "You want to save the world? Then why have you never looked at it for 800 years, when there were so many wars and exiles in the world?"

"I have no reason to interfere in the human world's own affairs. The life and death of a person and the survival of a country are determined by the destiny." Shuhuai didn't want to see him pressing Mo Yun's face, so he staggered his eyes, but there was nothing wrong with it. Too much, I have to turn his face to face her, as if I can't continue the conversation otherwise.

Where did Mo Yun go?Why don't you come back sooner?Boredom and anxiety arose in Shuhuai's heart for no reason, and his attitude towards Cunxue became more and more indifferent, but the other party talked a lot, and those wonderful enthusiasms did not diminish because of this, and he was still asking him all kinds of unknown questions: "Yes?" Is it? But it’s the same this time, is it because the people are special this time, or is it the country—”

His nagging was really annoying, Shuhuai showed impatience, and interrupted his unfinished words: "Same? You caused disasters, caused the proliferation of fierce beasts, and chaos in the human world. This is because you want to destroy the world, not the way of heaven." cycle."

Maybe it was because Shu Huai's attitude was too tough, and his speech was well-founded, the other party was silent for a while, unable to find suitable words to refute.

Seeing that Cunxue stopped talking, Shuhuai added two more sentences: "You have placed yourself too high. You are not the way of heaven, and I am going against the sky. What you want to go against is what you think is 'heaven' .”

This may be the reason why he said he wanted to go against the sky, but he was silent in the underworld for 800 years.Cunxue looked at him for a while, and then suddenly laughed sinisterly: "It seems that I can't keep you in this world."

The puppet's face suddenly approached, and the hand clasped around Shuhuai's neck tightened with such force that it was about to strangle him to death on the spot.Shuhuai had been accumulating strength for a long time, and the right hand holding the sword broke free from the puppet's confinement, but at this moment, the wound was affected by Cunxue's spiritual energy, and suddenly opened again.The puppet smashed hard at the knife edge, and jokingly said: "Before you die, do you need this face to do something to you?"

"Don't read it, don't read it, go back and tidy it up." Deng Ling turned a few more pages, closed the book with a blushing face, and ran away with Chang Qing. Now she couldn't calm down, Something else needs to be done to divert attention.

Walking halfway, they bumped into Mo Yun not far from the door of Shuhuai's room. Wanzhu was so strange, he had just entered the room not long ago, why did he appear in another direction in just a short while?A cloud came over her heart, and she blurted out: "Could it be that you didn't go back to the house just now?"

"I've just been to the main hall..." Before Mo Yun finished speaking, his expression changed suddenly. He heard Cunxue's voice coming from Shuhuai's room. !

The moment they broke through the door, the three of them had different expressions on their faces, but they all seemed to have seen a ghost. The puppet that looked exactly like Mo Yun turned its head to look at them, and the corner of its mouth raised an arc.Seeing that Cunxue dared to move his hands and feet, Mo Yun was furious. He rushed forward and picked up the puppet. A long knife appeared in his palm. When he raised the knife and dropped it, the light flashed, and the whole figure was divided into two from the middle. Half.Still perplexed, he raised his knife and cut the puppet into pieces. Shuhuai lay on the edge of the bed coughing violently, thinking that this wolf cub is really irritable, and he is more cruel when he treats things with the same shape as himself.

"Brother!" An exclamation came from outside the door, and Xueyi's lamp fell to the ground with a clatter. She didn't care to pick it up, and ran to the bed in a panic to help her brother. , with blood on his hands.The girl's shoulders trembled, and tears rolled down. Although she didn't know what happened before, she could guess a bit after hearing the conversation between Mo Yun and Ming Jun in the palace. She thought it must be that guy who didn't give up and chased him They came here to harm people, and even after 800 years, he still refused to let them go.

Chang Qing gasped, and before he could realize what to do at this time, another lamp was stuffed into his hand.Wan Zhu ran to the bed, hugged Xue Yi in his arms, coaxed her softly, and took her away from the room temporarily.When she stepped out of the room, the girl's eyes were full of tears. She couldn't figure out why she always dragged her brother down, let alone why her brother was responsible for everything.

Mo Yun just got angry, at this time he vomited a mouthful of blood, and almost fell to his knees, Shuhuai was anxious in his heart, and wanted to pull him, but he was covered in cold sweat, unable to use half of his strength, and his brain couldn't help it. Buzzing, I had to watch Chang Qing help him up.The little demon king took a breath, and stumbled forward, the long knife turned into ashes, the hand that once held the knife touched the side of the neck of the book, and slowly scratched the remaining marks on it.It's the same face, it's the same place where it was touched, but at this moment Shuhuai is very relieved, the temperature of the fingertips is not fake, and the Mo Yun in front of him is not fake, everything is real now, there is nothing worthy of him. flustered.

"It's good when you come." Shuhuai reached out to hug him, "He pretended not to be like you."

"Recognized?" Mo Yun hugged him into his arms, the aura as gentle as a soft wind blew through his blood, Shu Huai patted his back, and replied flauntingly: "I can see it with just one look." Recognize it, do you think I am powerful?"

He seemed to be asking for credit, Mo Yun laughed muffledly, and just hugged him like this, without saying anything more.

The question lingering in Mo Yun's mind was finally answered. Cunxue once threatened to let him see through the essence of Shuhuai, but it was Mo Yun who won. Shuhuai is not as easy to be confused as Meng Li, and Cunxue's Little tricks don't work.

Heilong walked around the table for a while, feeling that there was no room for him in this room, so he asked awkwardly, "Should I avoid it?"

Without Cunxue's interference, Shuhuai's wound healed quickly, and his face was flushed with blood, and another wave of fatigue rushed over him like a tidal wave, gradually submerging him.He glanced lazily at Chang Qing, and said teasingly, "If you want to illuminate us here, that's fine too."

"Hey... I'll go, I'll go." Heilong realized that he was still holding the evening candle in his hand, and now he was a well-deserved luminary. He scratched his head and ran away hastily.

The owner of that lamp is sitting by the Styx River with Xue Yi at the moment, Xue Yi's mood has calmed down a lot, but it can be seen that she is still very sad, Wan Zhu dare not speak casually, for fear of saying something wrong , And made the little girl cry.

"Sister." Xue Yi said suddenly, "Is that person very powerful?"

Wanzhu guessed that she was talking about Cunxue, so she sighed faintly and nodded to her.Of course Cunxue is powerful, if he hadn't killed Mu Hua from the middle of the road back then, this guy would have become the Emperor of Heaven long ago.

Xue Yi only knew that Lord Ming controlled the power of life and death in the three realms, and never thought that there were other powerful beings. She looked back at the hall and asked softly, "Compared with Lord Ming, who is stronger?"

"His life and death are also under the jurisdiction of Mingjun, so Mingjun is above him." Wan Zhu wiped the tears on her face and explained to her patiently, "But Mingjun can't leave this place easily, there is no one in Hades, If it is taken advantage of, I am afraid there will be even bigger troubles."

"Big brother can't beat him?" Xue Yi's delicate eyebrows twitched, showing a puzzled expression.

Deng Ling lowered his head, and while wiping the ever-burning lamp on Xueyi, he replied to her words: "That guy is very good at hiding, we can't find him that easily, and he is of some use value to your brother. Now it hurts him It doesn't matter, but we can't let him die, we must chase him first and clear away all the disasters he buried in the world, and we will use his power to release the Emperor of Heaven next year."

Those girls standing in the Great Hall of Hades were just a small part of those killed by him, Xue Yi thought of this and fell silent.

Regarding Fengyi's position, Wanzhu didn't mention much to her, the less she knew the better, some burdens should not be carried by her.

But Xueyi blinked, her eyes became firm, she pulled Wanzhu by the corner of her clothes and begged in a low voice: "Can you teach me how to use fire?"

"Why do you think so suddenly?" Wan Zhu was taken aback, "We can protect you, you don't have to."

"I... I don't want to drag anyone down, I don't want to be a burden to anyone!" Xue Yi took the long burning lamp from her hand, staring at the flames that kept beating inside, "If brother can do it, I can do it too." Can!"

She is as strong as Shuhuai herself, and she only needs a chance to stimulate a certain will hidden in her body.Wanzhu opened her mouth, and the words of rejection reached her lips, but it was transformed into a word of "good".

Her own lamp suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, Wan Zhu looked up, and saw that Chang Qing had come here with it, Heilong giggled, and waved the lamp in front of her eyes: "What are you discussing secretly? Will you give me good wine in exchange for keeping my mouth shut?"

"Xue Yi, look after me." Wan Zhu was suddenly blackmailed, she immediately sneered, raised her hand to touch the lamp body, a dazzling fireball suddenly rushed out, scaring Chang Qing into screaming, and hurriedly abandoned the lamp and fled.Immediately afterwards, the lamp was placed in Xueyi's hand, and the little girl tentatively knocked on it twice, and two more fireballs appeared, they jumped happily and joined the ranks of chasing the black dragon.

The girl's eyes widened in amazement: "Is it only this lamp that can do it? Why can't mine?"

"Your one...the aura inside it is not enough, but it doesn't make any difference if I hold it in my hand." Wanzhu yawned, glanced at Xueyi's lamp, and immediately rushed out of the lamp. A firebird screamed and flew towards Changqing, which was running farther and farther.

The black dragon panicked and ran headlong into the hall of Hades. The fire bird circled outside the hall for a few weeks before flying back.

"My lamp belongs to you." Wan Zhu stood up, thumped his numb legs, "If you don't want your brother to know, I'll teach you secretly."
