What is it like to be led around by a ghost?

After waking up, Ao Qing remained expressionless.Seeing her appearance, Yu Mohui and Jiongwu wisely didn't speak, but followed her quietly, even though they didn't know where she was going to take them.

The faint blue remains of Kunpeng gradually moved away behind them. It was a huge blue fortress, a place where countless people, gods and ghosts lost their lives, and it was also a cemetery from which they could not escape.

Yu Mohui still has a lot of questions, but now is not the time to ask them.

He could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, and complained to Wu Jiong about what happened just now in his mind: When I followed my mother to watch her favorite TV series, there was always the kind of heroine who would die without the hero I always thought that the screenwriter was brain-dead, but I didn’t expect that art comes from life. Ao Qing is a living example, working so hard for a man who has only seen it in the mirror... I blamed the screenwriter, I apologize to them...

Jiongwu smiled helplessly, took Yu Mohui's hand, and squeezed his palm.

After walking for about an hour, a few swimming shadows appeared indistinctly ahead.

Yu Mohui hadn't seen any living things except Ao Qing since he arrived in the Dragon Palace, and there wasn't even a single fish. Now he suddenly saw a few vague swimming figures and became excited.The popular science books he read since he was a child all talked about the bottom of the sea as mysterious and unpredictable, and the creatures on the bottom of the sea that humans guessed were even more strange.Seeing is believing, and the natural curiosity and desire to explore of human beings are just around the corner in his bones.

It wasn't until they got closer that the outlines of those shadows became clear—human bodies and fish tails, obviously sharks.

It was only then that Yu Mohui realized that since he met Jiong Wu, he had been walking in the mythical dungeon, and he just tried to explore the mythical world with the eyes of scientific exploration...

He had mixed feelings for a while.Even after going through a lot, it is not so easy to fully accept these bizarre things.

Jiong Wu held his hand and didn't let go, now hearing his thoughts, she lowered her eyes and clenched his hand a little bit, as if comforting him and herself.

When he was about to arrive at the Yuren tribe, Ao Qing recovered from the past sorrow.

"In front is the shark tribe. Although the shark tribe has declined and has few people, they still inherit ancient skills." She held the giant bone, "They should have a way to polish this giant Kunpeng bone into a handy bone." blade."

Yu Mohui came to his senses at this moment: "Co-authors, isn't this bone blade something we can grind if we want? Is this still a technical job?"

"Nonsense!" Ao Qing said without turning his head.

Yu Mohui said to Jiongwu: "She was definitely rolling her eyes just now, do you believe it or not?"

Jiong Wu hummed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The Shark Tribe is a place where countless deep-sea boulders are piled up. Many of the boulders have been dug into caves, which serve as the home of the Sharks.The tribe occupies a large area, but the tribe is indeed very rare as Ao Qing said.

The mermaids are not like the mermaids in the movies. The mermaids in the movies are both male and female. They are very beautiful, while the mermaids look like aliens in science fiction movies. Their ears are webbed and the whites of their eyes take up most of them. , a little black pupil looks very strange and terrifying.Although it is a human body, its skin is not human-like, with many fine and transparent scales.

Yu Mohui was hit again. The gap between human's beautiful imagination of unknown things and reality is almost like a gap.

The few shadows I saw from a distance earlier were the oral rotation guards of the tribe. When they saw strangers, their scales almost exploded, which shows the heavy vigilance and deep hostility.Fortunately, Ao Qing knew them, so they reluctantly let them go.

Jiongwu led Yu Mohui, who was a little stiff, and followed Ao Qing without looking sideways.

"They are too scary!" Yu Mohui complained to Jiongwu in his heart, "The pupils in the whites of such big eyes are only the size of mung beans! And the way they looked at me just now, they want to peel me alive..."

Jiong Wu comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, don't look at them, I will protect you."

The tribe was cold and empty, and occasionally there were a few sharks on the road, and when they saw them, they were startled, and immediately swam back to the cave and closed the cave door.

Yu Mohui: ...

"Are we too scary or are they too afraid of life?" Jiong Wu asked Ao Qing.

Yu Mohui replied before Ao Qing: "It must be that they are too afraid of life. You are so good-looking, how can you be scary." What's more, those mermaids are obviously more scary.

Ao Qing, who was leading the way, paused, turned his head slightly, and glanced at the hands that the two of them had held together all the way. His face was a little strange, but he didn't say anything.

Although she didn't know the origins of the two people's identities, she could vaguely guess their relationship based on her observations over the past few days.

Walking to the entrance of a cave in the center of the tribe, Ao Qing said to the two of them: "The mermaids have always been xenophobic and shy, you two just wait outside and leave the matter to me." Then he walked in with the giant bone .

The cave was pitch black, and it was impossible to see anything clearly through the crack of the door, and Yu Mohui could only vaguely hear rustling voices.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ao Qing went out the door empty-handed.

"It's already agreed, come and get it after seven days." Ao Qing said, "Are you going to stay at the bottom of the sea for seven days, or go back and wait for seven days before getting it?"

Yu Mohui pondered for a while: "Let's go back first." He looked at Ao Qing, "You send us away, and we will..."

Ao Qing frowned immediately, before he could finish his sentence: "How did you two get here and go away! I won't see you off!"

Yu Mohui was very speechless, he gave her a blank look, and suddenly didn't want to talk to her anymore.Jiongwu coughed lightly, and followed Yu Mohui's words: "There are still some things that I don't understand, and I want to ask you again..."

"Oh, that's it..." Ao Qing turned off the fire, and didn't feel any embarrassment, "Then let's go."

After leaving the merman tribe, Ao Qing summoned a giant tortoise, and the three of them sat firmly on the tortoise shell, which was very spacious.

The giant tortoise slowly went upstream, and Yu Mohui asked, "Didn't you say you wouldn't follow us to the inside of the remains? Why did you follow us up again and help us get a bone?"

Ao Qing was so angry that he jumped up and down, gnashing his teeth and said, "Do you think I want to go! The god of shit has controlled my thinking, and by the time I realized it, I was already in the middle of the remains!"

She patted the tortoise's shell hard, and the giant tortoise was startled: "How long have I known you? Why should I work so hard for you! Since God asked you to come here by yourself, why did you let me take you all the way without complaint?" Get it done! I'll tell you and you'll be done! What's wrong with..."

Ao Qing kept talking, and Yu Mohui didn't know whether she was scolding Tiandao or them, or both.

He didn't dwell too much on this, and after Ao Qing finished cursing, he continued to ask: "What do you mean by what you said to the Dragon King? What do you mean by 'selecting them'?"

Ao Qing paused for a long time before saying, "It's literally." It seemed that he didn't want to answer.

But Yu Mohui wouldn't just let it go, he just stared at her coldly, waiting for her answer.

Ao Qing was stared at by his eyes again, his whole body turned cold, and he felt more and more that Yu Mohui was not a simple character. After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you know who the original Chang'e is?"

"It's the goddess who is sitting like a Bodhisattva," Yu Mo pointed back, "the one that turned into a galaxy."

Ao Qing understood that they didn't know anything about it except what he saw in his memory, and sighed: "After Pangu created the heaven and the earth, the clean air rose to become the sky, and the turbid air descended to the earth. The Dao of the Three Realms, each perform its duties. The Dao of Heaven governs the gods in the heavens, Chang’e governs all things in the world, and the King of Hades governs all kinds of ghosts and demons in the underworld.”

"Later it is said that Chang'e made a mistake and was imprisoned in the Moon Palace. The human world can only be managed by Heaven and the King of Hades. Other creatures are easy to say, the way of Heaven is in charge of life, and the king of Hades is in charge of death. The difficulty lies in the gods and beasts in the world. distribute."

Ao Qing softened her eyes: "Chang'e is a gentle and merciful goddess. Under her management, everything in the world turns from chaos to vitality. The gods and beasts in the world respect and love her very much, so even if she dies and turns into a galaxy, they will still be there." Unwilling to submit to others. But..."

"But they have to choose a side after all." Yu Mohui interjected, "Heaven and Hades are supreme gods conceived and born when the world was created. Once they want to compete for the management rights of the gods and beasts in the world, then those gods and beasts will There is no room for rejection, you have to choose a side no matter what, is that right?"

He spoke very fast, and after he finished speaking, he stared at Ao Qing coldly and wanted to answer.

Ao Qing nodded, and he continued to ask: "What mistake did Chang'e make at the beginning?"

"I don't know about that," Ao Qing said, "I was originally just a wisp of smoke in the Moon Palace, and I became spiritual when I was touched by Chang'e's fairy energy. When I opened my spiritual wisdom, I saw her sitting alone. Zhao Shijing looked at the devastated land and shed tears."

"Zhaoshijing is the mirror in the Moon Palace? Do you see the one of your lover?"

Ao Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard the word "lover", then blushed slightly, lowered his head and said "um".

Seeing that she suddenly turned into this little girl, Yu Mo couldn't help complaining, and said, "I'm not good at Chinese, and the word 'lover' is not used correctly, after all people say that lovers are all The two love each other, but you are purely unrequited."

Ao Qing was stunned for a moment, with unbelievable heartbreak written all over his face.

Jiongwu didn't expect Yu Mohui to say it so directly, she quickly grabbed his arm to stop him from continuing.But Yu Mohui didn't intend to say anything more, after all, there were still things that he didn't understand.

"Go on," Yu Mohui urged Ao Qing to continue what he said just now, "What happens after you shed tears?"

Ao Qing's complexion changed again and again, and finally with a livid face, he said angrily: "Later, Goddess Chang'e told me that the world was originally beautiful, but she did something wrong to become like this, so she was imprisoned in the Moon Palace. Confession."

Her speech speed increased, and she no longer had the feeling of being eloquent just now: "You all know what happened later. The Dragon King saved me because of the kindness of Goddess Chang'e. I am now his nominal daughter. .”

Yu Mohui was silent for a while, and then he cleared his mind: "Then Tiandao deliberately let you go down to earth? Obviously he could easily suppress you, but he called the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Queen Mother of the West to watch you, so that you can escape and go down to earth." , the Dragon King will definitely save you when he sees the aura of Chang'e on you, and he will trade your jurisdiction over the East China Sea for your life."

"Yes." Ao Qing nodded, "And I escaped at the hands of the Queen Mother of the West, so the responsibility naturally falls on the Queen Mother of the West. Being able to get the jurisdiction of the East China Sea is a redemption, but there still needs to be a Chang’e’s, so they set their sights on Hou Yi’s wife Chang’e—there is no Chang’e next to the female character. The same pronunciation and different characters are considered predestined.”

"Even this is what they have planned?" Jiong Wu was surprised.

"Of course." Ao Qing said, "Houyi's contribution to shooting the sun is so great, and the Queen Mother of the West knows that he has a beloved wife, so she is definitely not willing to ascend to immortality alone, but she only gave him an elixir. In order to let his wife take the place of Chang'e?"

Yu Mo understood, thought for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Heavenly Dao is really kind, let the Queen Mother of the West send heavenly soldiers and heavenly soldiers, one can let you escape, and the other is to throw the responsibility for your escape on the West Queen Mother. Killing two birds with one stone is truly wonderful."

At this time, the giant tortoise surfaced.In an instant, the sea breeze blew, and the air carried the salty smell of sea water into Yu Mohui's nasal cavity.

Yu Mohui felt as if he had suddenly let go of the heavy shackles and embraced freedom.

After staying at the bottom of the sea for so long, he had almost forgotten what it was like to breathe.He came alive again.

The moonlit night on the sea is very beautiful. The giant tortoise slowly stirs the water on the sea surface, just like swimming in the galaxy.

Ao Qing looked up at the sky, the Milky Way imprinted in her eyes, making her eye waves extremely gentle.

"You mortals' poems are well written." She said suddenly, "'Natural life always hates water flowing eastward', 'When will this water stop, when will this hatred end', hatred is water, it has a long history and never stops flowing. "

"I don't believe that Goddess Chang'e really made a mistake. She turned into the Milky Way to appeal her hatred to the Three Realms."
