ALL NOVEL Chapter 102 - Dongyue 01
“Be careful, if it is stained with blood from the blood pool, it really won’t be yang. Alas, you should take my hand.”
The ghost of the underground palace who claimed to be “Mo Shangsang” stretched out his hand that could be described as pale, Li Hong hesitated or put it on, and immediately felt that a biting chill penetrated her body along the palm of the other party’s hand. She couldn’t help but shocked.
Mo Shangsang paid attention to Li Hong’s expression and immediately apologized: “Sorry, I forgot that you are still alive.”
She said that she pulled off the jade tag from her clothes and handed it to Li Hong: “Come on, it will be much better if you hold this.”
Li Hong held the jade card, and as expected, the temperature returned to his body. She breathed a sigh of relief, and as the other party carefully stepped across the bluestone bridge and entered any building that was originally a piece of darkness and invisible, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But when she was half relieved, she raised it again. A dark and towering city showed a corner in front of her eyes. But just this corner is already amazing enough, amazing.
Seeing that he still couldn’t get in touch with the trial, Li Hong couldn’t help but ask: “Where is this?”
Mo Shangsang suddenly realized: “Ah, I almost forgot that you entered by mistake!”
Mo Shangsang explained: “This is the Netherworld, which is the world after death.”
Li Hong repeated: “The world after death?”
Mo Shangsang said in confusion: “Huh? Has no one told you before?”
Li Hong’s heart shuddered, and she asked again: “When is it now?”
Mo Shangsang was even more confused: “When?”
Li Hong hesitated and asked tentatively: “Shang and Zhou?”
Mo Shangsang looked confused, and Li Hong asked again, “AD?”
Mo Shangsang thought for a long time, and finally understood what the other party was saying: “Do you mean the living world?”
Li Hong nodded, and Mo Shangsang smiled: “The living world has nothing to do with us. Nether is independent of the living. Since your majesty was born, this world has life and death. Your majesty is born from the nether, and the nether is even your majesty. The light of the Candle Dragon cannot penetrate the Nether, so we don’t have time here.”
Gui Cha led Li Hong into this dark and wide city: “Our place is the eternal pursuit of the world.”
At the moment of stepping into the city, the originally dark and gloomy world was suddenly lit up, and the bustling streets were filled with dead people. They lived in this world and were indistinguishable from the world of the living.
Mo Shangsang said that their world is eternal, and Li Hong caught a glimpse of the dead. Some of these people are dressed in Qin and Han quyuan, and some are dressed in T-shirts and trousers. Time does not exist in this world. This world has only the dead, the dead from different periods and different regions.
Li Hong couldn’t help asking: “There are so many people dying every day, won’t it explode here?”
Mo Shangsang said: “Death is inevitable, who said that people here won’t die?”
She pointed to an old woman: “When she came, she was still a girl in a bun, but now she is about to die. After she dies, she will return to the world of the living, and then go through a reincarnation.”
Li Hong barely understood, she thought that if this is really the world of the dead, only the soul can enter. Then it was only natural that Tianshen had separated from her. Tianshen was able to communicate with her because she was boarding in the same body at the same time. Now that the boarding body is gone, it is normal for her to separate from Tianshen.
So she rarely asked respectfully: “This girl, I actually didn’t come alone, but I also have a companion.” Li Hong thought about seeing Tian Shen for the first time, “He is about five or six years old.”
Mo Shangsang said in surprise: “Are there any more?” She wailed: “It’s over. Your Majesty knows that I will be punished. Ah, why am I guarding the gate today!”
She was complaining, and when she saw the ghost chase she had called before came, she immediately straightened her face and said to Li Hong, “I will help you find him, but you must not talk to Jiang Si? She knows. , I must be punished for sure!”
Li Hong blinked, indicating that he understood.
Netherworld’s second gatekeeper came, she looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate and elegant features. If it weren’t for wearing a black robe, Li Hong would probably treat her as a noble girl. The goalkeeper named Jiang Si was obviously not as cheerful as Mo Shangsang. She glanced at Li Hong and said to Mo Shangsang: “Your Majesty understands.”
Mo Shangsang’s face suddenly changed: “So fast?”
Jiang Si replied coldly: “What can I hide from your Majesty about the Netherworld? Your Majesty wants to see her. Did you bring it or me?”
Mo Shangsang looked at Li Hong and Jiang Si hesitantly, and finally said, “…it’s me.”
Jiang Si nodded, then stepped aside, and said to Mo Shangsang: “Go ahead, I’ll guard the gate for you first.”
Mo Shang Sangyun nodded and watched Jiang Si go away.
Li Hong blinked, only to think that this ghost servant named Jiang Si looked very interesting. Mo Shangsang saw this and quickly said, “Don’t be fooled by Jiang Si’s appearance! Your Majesty brought her back. At that time, she has been a disaster for the world for thousands of years. She was a drought, and she was stricken to death. Her grievance was very serious. You will get hurt if you get too close!”
Seeing Mo Shangsang’s seriousness, Li Hong nodded and replied: “I know, don’t worry.”
Mo Shangsang saw that Li Hong really had no other plans, and he was relieved before leading Li Hong into the city. After passing the bluestone bridge and passing this black city, he stepped into the master’s palace here.
The palace feels the same as the main city, dark, without light and shadow.
Li Hong followed Mo Shangsang in. Seeing the attendants along the way saluting to Mo Shangsang, he couldn’t help being a little curious about the status of this ghost chase here.
However, before she could say anything, they had already arrived at the hall.
The hall was rugged, black jade was paved all over the floor, and on both sides stood some ghostly deities. Above the high ranks was a throne that was also dark, and on the throne was a man in a black robe.
Mo Shangsang knelt down and saluted the other party with a solemn expression: “Your Majesty.”
Li Hong didn’t kneel down. She looked up curiously, and at a glance she saw the cold-looking black statue sitting on the black chair.
His skin is very white, probably because he has not seen the sun for a long time. The same is the same with his very pale lips. If his eyes were not very dark, Li Hong would probably think that what he saw was a marble statue.
But even so, even after so long, Li Hong still recognized the other party.
She was a little surprised: “Your hair… why is it gray?”
In Li Hong’s memory, the crazy demon who stopped her in the park was black hair and black eyes. Although he wrapped himself in a black robe, it was definitely not gray hair. Such different hair colors made her hesitate, not sure about her judgment, and Tian Shen couldn’t make contact. So she closed her mouth after asking this sentence.
Mo Shangsang heard her speak and jumped down, stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of her clothes, Li Hong was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the other party made her kneel.
When Li Hong was about to kneel down according to Mo Shangsang’s intention, the Nether Lord who she thought was the statue opened her mouth.
The other party’s black eyes moved slightly, and said to Li Hong: “I have never seen you.”
Li Hong was slightly startled.
The other party continued: “I don’t know either.”
Li Hong was confused.
The other party finally said: “Once the birth gate opens in a hundred years, there are still 25 years before the next birth gate opens. If you want to go back, you have to wait 25 years.”
Li Hong understood this sentence, but she was not in a hurry, because since it was not her own world, she was still in the illusion, and she still had to collect the debris. Although Tianshen was not by his side, the other party’s face had already declared his identity.
Li Hong looked at him, faintly feeling that this was about the last piece.
So she nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll wait twenty-five years.”
Upon hearing the words, the “statue” smiled slowly. A look gradually emerged in his black eyes, and he whispered to Li Hong, “I’m very happy.”
Li Hong was stunned and was silent for a moment. Then she asked: “Why are you happy?”
Confusion appeared in the “statue”‘s eyes, and after a while he honestly said, “I don’t know.”
When he said this, Li Hong understood what his previous sentence “I don’t know” meant, and probably answered her first question.
However, Li Hong wanted to ask him a question and was very sure that the other party could answer it.
Li Hong asked: “What is your name?”
He seemed a little surprised, but still happily replied: “Dong Yue.”
Li Hong thought for a while, and said: “My name is Li Hong. Li of the dawn, Hong of the wild goose. By the way, my companion and I are lost, can you help me find it?”
Dong Yue asked her about the situation of the trial, and then frowned in confusion: “Are you talking about Shiratori?”
Li Hong: “?”
Dong Yue said: “Netherworld has only seen you except Shiratori. I will find him and let him see you.”
Li Hong nodded, paused and added: “Thank you.”
The “statue” sitting high, smiled contentedly.
Mo Shangsang followed Li Hong out, and she was surprised to see her. She couldn’t recognize Li Hong looking from top to bottom, and asked: “Who are you? Not a simple stranger! I have never seen your Majesty. There have been so many expressions! Wouldn’t you be a phoenix! Are you Honghu!”
Hearing the name again, Li Hong couldn’t help asking: “Honghu?”
Mo Shangsang said, “One of the five phoenixes in the heavens. She is a white phoenix and the most beautiful bird in the world. It has been said that our majesty will not go out for ten thousand years because we like Honghu, the conscience of heaven and earth, just like our majesty. Do you know what to like?”
Li Hong thought about what she had experienced, and couldn’t help but said: “Probably understand.”
Mo Shangsang is indifferent: “Oh, you know what, he smiled at you today, it’s the first time I saw him smile since I have been in office for a thousand years.”
Li Hong: “…”
Li Hong: “You are a thousand years old!?”
Mo Shangsang waved his hand: “There is no time at all in Netherworld. It’s just that I can calculate it according to the life of the living person. The Queen Mother of the West will come to Netherworld to check the birth gate once every five hundred years. I counted according to the number of times she came. I have seen her twice, so it counts as a thousand years, and when I see her next time, it will be 1,500 years!”
Li Hong: “…I admire it.”
Mo Shangsang found that the topic was turned by Li Hong, and quickly asked, “Have you seen your Majesty before? It’s really strange!”
Li Hong: “…I have seen it, but he doesn’t remember it.”
Li Hong was referring to the fact that she had seen Dongyue who was like a tramp in her own world, but Dongyue here obviously did not remember this incident. Mo Shangsang didn’t know what he had understood, and she was very moved on her face. She said to Li Hong: “Don’t be afraid, I am the imperial party. No matter what, I will help you.”
Li Hong: “???” This friend, have you misunderstood something?
Because of Dongyue’s attitude, Mo Shangsang naturally took her into the Netherworld Palace and arranged her bedroom in Dongyue’s palace. When a nether **** objected, Mo Shangsang would look up to the sky, and said nonchalantly: “Okay, you can ask your Majesty, and see if he doesn’t object.”
She used this method to get at least three ghost goddesses.
Mo Shangsang rolled his eyes and said: “It’s really interesting, saying that I like your Majesty, and I don’t look at what they do. I finally came to you, but all of them appeared.”
Li Hong was curious: “They are your bosses? Are you really good to them?”
Mo Shangsang: “Oh, I only have one master, that is your Majesty. Besides, I have not lived for so many years.” Mo Shangsang pointed to the direction of the blood pond from a distance, and smiled, “I am’ “Bloodpool,” let me see, who can put me on small shoes.”
Li Hong: “!!!”
She looked at Mo Shangsang with a complex expression: “Then your name…”
“I took it myself, I heard a scholar read it, and I thought it sounded good, so I changed it!” Mo Shangsang squinted, “Does it sound good?”
Li Hong nodded: “It sounds really nice.”
Mo Shangsang immediately bent his eyes and said with a smile: “Oh, you are really cute.”
Mo Shangsang promised that Li Hong would bring it to her as soon as he found Tianshen, but in the same way, Li Hong had to promise not to tell Jiang Si about this. Although His Majesty did not intend to punish her, Jiang Si knew that she would inevitably be read. Li Hong happily made a deal with the other party and rested here for the first night.
The nether world was whizzing, Li Hong was lying on a bed carved with black quilt and white jade, and he only felt like lying in a mourning hall. Coupled with the lingering wind around her, she had to hold on to the jade card that Mo Shangsang gave her before she fell asleep in a daze.
Halfway through her sleep, she was not very stable, and she always felt that someone was staring at her. Li Hongmeng opened his eyes and met a pair of dark eyes. She was taken aback and bounced up suddenly, almost hitting the head of Jade’s bed, but Dong Yue’s eyesight and hands were about to block her head to avoid her bumping pain.
Li Hong was surprised, staring at Dong Yue and asked: “Why are you here?”
Seeing that Li Hong would no longer hit hard things, Dong Yue retracted his hand with regret. He was wrapped in a large black robe and said aggrieved: “This is my home.”
Li Hong: “…”
Li Hong took a deep breath: “No, although this is your home, it is now my room?”
Dong Yue lowered his gaze and did not speak. He lowered his gaze to see the jade card in Li Hong’s hand, and raised his eyebrows and said, “Nuanyu?”
Li Hong nodded: “Mo Shangsang gave it to me, it’s a bit cold here.”
Hearing this, Dong Yue actively stretched out his hand and said to Li Hong: “This thing is not as good as me. Hold me, it will be very warm.”
Li Hong: “???”
Dong Yue was very sincere, squatting in front of her bed and enthusiastically recommending his hand to her. Li Hong looked at the hands that were carved like jade without any impurities. For a moment he didn’t know what to say, so he could only say, “Thank you?”
Dong Yue still stretched out his hand to her, there was no other light in his dark eyes.
Li Hong was silent for a moment, then reached out and shook it helplessly. As Dongyue said, Nuanyu is indeed not as easy to use as him. The temperature of Nuanyu is like a hand warmer, but Dongyue itself is like a gloomy sun. Holding his hand, it feels like being in a spring day, warm and sleepy.
Li Hong was very surprised, and Dong Yue couldn’t help but bend his eyes.
He suddenly remembered something. He withdrew a hand from Li Hong, pinched a white bird out of his sleeve, and asked, “Is it the one you are looking for?”
Li Hong looked at the struggling bird for a moment, and then asked uncertainly: “Heaven’s trial?”
Shiratori nodded desperately, shouting: “It’s me and Honghong is me!”
Dongyue heard the call of the white bird, his dark eyes darkened for a moment, his subordinates couldn’t help but use a little bit of strength, Tian Shen called out, and immediately dropped his wings, obediently unable to do so.
Dongyue put the white bird on Li Hong’s shoulder and said to Li Hong, “This is a letter bird that can travel through the illusion. Is it because of it that you stumbled here?”
Li Hong: “That’s right.”
Dong Yue was silent for a moment, and reached out his hand to touch the white bird’s feathers, which was a compliment. The white bird’s feathers and wings were trembling, but he didn’t dare to escape the king’s favor at all.
After retrieving the trial, Li Hong’s heart was more than half relieved.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Dong Yue asked, “Can I sleep here today?”
Li Hong: “…”
Dongyue explained: “I will be very happy to see you, and staying with me is safer for you.”
Li Hong: “…”
Dong Yue thought for a while and added: “I am very warm.”
Li Hong sighed and moved into the bed: “Forget it, let’s go up.” I have slept before, and now what is it hypocritical.
A smile appeared on Dongyue’s jade-like face, and he lay down beside Li Hong properly, holding her hand. With Dongyue, the coldness of Netherworld seemed to disappear in an instant. Li Hong closed her eyes comfortably, and went to sleep quickly. Due to her warmth, in the middle of the night, she was the one who climbed Dongyue.
Dong Yue opened his eyes because of this. He looked at the stranger lying on his side, but he was not at all irritated or angry. He even happily sent his arm forward so that he could sleep more comfortably. .
Nether has no time. Therefore, apart from Li Hong, there are not many people who can really count the non-existent time to sleep.
I don’t know how long it took, a Nether Maid came to look for Dongyue. She was shocked when she saw Li Hong, who was sleeping well in Dongyue’s arms, for fear that what she saw in the next second was the scene of the tragedy. But to her surprise, the expressionless Dong Yue just raised her index finger, hissed softly to her, and then turned back to look at him, holding the sleeping Li Hong in one hand, and looking at Mo with the other hand. The wooden slip that Shangsang found for him.
Tianshen became the original body, as a white bird, standing in the birdcage without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, the maid bowed and retired, and said to the woman in white waiting outside the hall: “His Royal Highness, Your Majesty will not see guests.”
The beauty in white even had snow-colored eyelashes. She bent her eyes and her faint smile was like a pear blossom blooming overnight. She stood up and said to the maid: “Oh, no guest? He doesn’t need to sleep, so why not see the guest?”
Then she pushed the maid away and stepped inward without hesitation: “I have something to find him, even if he doesn’t see a guest, I have to let him see me.”
