d bastard.Several villagers in traditional clothing appeared from the forest behind me. They all had their faces covered with black cloth, and one of them was tall and vaguely familiar—where had I see...In the flash of white light, I glimpsed Jiang Qiyun whirling his sword and turning away.
He came along Thinking about this, I felt a little more at ease.
This situation was unexpected. When I recalled what Mu Wanchen had said before, he and Jiang Qiyun secretly planned a backup plan, which should be to bury another mahogany box under the formation.
Before, Mu Wanchen came once and led people to attack the village, causing some casualties among the Wuhwang Mountain City people. In the end, he successfully buried that wooden box made of peach wood, and then wrote me a letter saying it was done.
But the situation now, the box played its part. Mu Wanchen's previous attacks were not in vain, but why did I end up here
Is this Jiang Qiyun's arrangement, or did I make a mistake
The latter is more likely.
Sweat, where am I now Is it this white void inside the box
Shouldn't it be a boundless, infinite expanse of darkness
I tried a spell—just an ordinary one, I had no expectations.
I don't know what kind of space this is yet. Did I fall into the same place as the ghost princess If so, will I be in danger
I silently recited the scriptures with a complicated mind. When I finished the last word, there were two soft chirps, and a silly little ghost appeared beside me!
Uh Did it appear
I stared blankly at the two of them. The little imps held chains and waited for orders. Seeing me lost in thought, one of them blurted out, "Little Empress, what's wrong You summoned us here but now you won't speak... hey, where are we anyway"
I came to my senses and hurriedly explained the situation briefly, then frowned and said, “I don’t know where this is, but I was able to summon you all… Or should I summon Bai Wuchang to ask”
The little ghost clerk hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't disturb the Seventh Lord. Right before you summoned us, someone broke through the boundary between Yin and Yang and fought their way into the Underworld alongside the Emperor. The Seventh Lord, Eighth Lord, and other Yin Marshals are all waiting to be deployed, so they don't have time to come over now."
I rubbed my temples, entering the underworld What are Luohu and the two Star Lords thinking!
"What about the others Where's Quan Heng" I recall, Quan Heng, that silent guardian spirit, should be quite strong.
"Lord Quan Heng The Emperor sent him to guard the little emperor and the fairy, he's not in the underworld, Lady Xiao you don't know" the little demon said.
I sighed, "What am I to do Jiang Qiyun has no time for me now. How can I get out of here"
When the cute little demon attendant spoke to me, the silly little demon attendant stood aside in a daze. Suddenly, something floated to his face. He rubbed his nose and bent down to pick up the thing.
"What's this" the little imp asked, turning back to his partner.
It was a white petal, with a hint of pink at the front, very cute.
"Petals" I frowned. "Are there even flowers here What kind of place is this..."
The little imp in training put on a conflicted expression and pondered for a long time: "...that box is made of peach wood from Duoshuo Mountain, could it be that we are... actually on Duoshuo Mountain right now"
Dù shuò shān……
One of the divine mountains in the underworld, the underworld is vast and boundless. The Yin Mountains stretch endlessly, blocking out the sun and sky. In addition, there are also several other divine mountains such as Dusuo Mountain, Luofeng Mountain, Baodui Mountain, and Yizhu Mountain...
Of course, a divine mountain isn't just an ordinary mound or peak; it's usually vast and immeasurable in size.
Just the legend of "the Duoshuo Mountain has peach trees whose branches stretch for three thousand miles" is enough to conjure up an image.
A peach tree three thousand miles tall... Well, what would that even look like
"Little madam, if this place is indeed Mount Dushao, then there must be a way out. I reckon the space inside the box that wards off ghostly Qi has been moved here by the Emperor to conveniently restrain the souls of the departed. Let's take a look," suggested the little demon attendant.
If this is the Underworld, then I feel more at ease. At least the gods of the Underworld know who I am and wouldn't intentionally harm me.
"Come on, Your Highness, be careful. Hold onto this." The little demon gave me the end of his chain very thoughtfully, letting me grip it while he led the way.
These two little rascals are short, but they have good hearts. Besides enjoying driving a spirit car in the human world for fun, they're pretty harmless.
"Has Jiang Qiyun ever fought with people in the Underworld before" I asked curiously.
The little ghost messenger tilted his head and thought for a moment: "There is, there are times when some demons and ghosts from other realms want to meddle in the underworld. Yin Shuai can't solve them, so it's up to the Emperor Jun to take action... But fighting with Xingjun in the underworld is the first time."
We walked aimlessly, talking as we went. The petals fell around us, growing thicker with each step. Could we be walking through a passage
The exit of the channel was a blinding white, with flowers swaying gently and fluttering down slowly.
"Look, it's indeed Mount Dusuo...just wonder how this formation was made...eh What's that"
The little imp looked ahead, and I saw a wobbly little head with two pigtails struggling to emerge from the ground at the exit—but it seemed to be stuck by something, unable to jump up!
We immediately went up to ask, "Who is it"
That little head froze for a moment, then cried out: "Ouch! It's me! Little Empress, please pull me up quickly!"
That voice, a child!
I pulled with two little ghosts, and finally got him out of the ground. He let out a breath and said, “Oh my, these peach trees need trimming, I got caught in them…”
His small Daoist robe had a large tear at the hem and his sleeves were also torn.
"How did you get here" I asked hastily.
"The Lord Emperor called me during his busy schedule and said that you had fallen into Dusuo Mountain. He asked me to come find you quickly, fearing that you wouldn't recognize the way and end up at the Northeastern Ghost Gate." The little boy pitifully stated, "Who knew this passage was in mid-air When I flew up here, I got stuck by a large peachwood!"
I imagined him hanging from a big peach tree branch and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Since I knew there was no danger, I followed them with peace of mind. The entrance to the passage was at a tree branch.
Witnessing such a scene with your own eyes is what truly makes one feel the awe-inspiring power of celestial deities.
My eyes were really presented with a "world on peach wood". The branches beneath my feet were as wide as roads, and the small branches that branched out from them were covered in peach blossoms, like peach trees lining both sides of the road.
A cool wind carrying the unique chill of the underworld blew into the peach trees. The large and small peach trees on both sides and above, like snowflakes falling in a snowstorm, gently showered down a flurry of petals.
"How big is this peach tree——" I was just about to ask.
A silver light wrapped in flames soared across the sky, crashing onto the big peach tree like a meteor!
For a moment, my eyes were filled with dancing petals, as if the entire space was buried by them!
This peach blossom snow is even more intense than the blizzard when a cloud of ink fights with the river!
The little imps were buried up to their waists in petals!
I rubbed my temples, helplessly watching the distant "fire meteor" in front of me.
"...Guys, don't fight, okay"ur husband""...""Speak!""You just need to say it, don't you! His name is Mu Wanchen!" I was about to cry out of frustration. How much more do I have to tell him! Why does he seem to know everything al...
