Buddha's Book of Beauty

Speaking of Xihe's whereabouts, Yueluo questioned Rongyu, peeped into Gu Tao's memory, and also searched for the places where he and Xihe used to stay, and turned around nine times, but nothing was gained.

Rong Yu and Gu Tao were demoted to the mortal world, Emperor Ziwei went out of customs, and the power of the Red Lotus Karma Fire has been weakened recently, which gave him the opportunity to meet Emperor Ziwei—the one who has cultivated the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to the ninth level. The supreme ruler of the underworld.

The child's time has passed, and the energy in the world has changed from yin to yang. When the gate of the underworld opens and closes, Yue Xinghuan takes advantage of the gap to enter, turning into a cloud of hostility and mixing into the underworld.Along the [-]-mile Huangquanluo, followed by the ghost patrolling the river, to the ferry of Wangchuan.In front of the Wangchuan Ferry, there is the Naihe Bridge. On the Naihe Bridge, there is an old woman with a rickety, and the world respectfully calls her Mengpo.If you want to go to the Netherworld—the residence of Emperor Ziwei to meet him, you must cross this bridge and get Po Meng's consent.

Last time, he only walked around a small part of Huangquanluo, and didn't cross the Naihe Bridge, so Po Meng didn't make things difficult for him.This time he was carrying the Nuwa stone, and Po Meng let him pass because of Nuwa's respect.

Eight hundred miles away, he walked for less than half an hour before reaching the Hades. From the outside, the Hades only had one floor, and there were various skulls hanging from the eaves around them. They looked terrifying and eerie.Even the knocker on the door hung with two small skulls.There is a great universe under the underworld, which is connected to the eighteen layers of hell. The underworld is the heart of this underworld.There are two big dark purple stone lions standing at the door, majestic and solemn.Black and white impermanence is attached to the stone lion, and when it sees a visitor, it will show up to meet it.

The crown of hair is tall, and the long tongue is swaying to the ground. Seeing that the visitor is so luxurious, they put away their tongue and said: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but Shao Siyue?"

Could it be that Ziwei knew that she was coming to him?Although he was suspicious, he still replied: "Yes."

"Emperor Ziwei ordered me to wait here, please come in." Heibian Wuchang opened the door to welcome, Yue Xinghuan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Ziwei Great Emperor, but still followed Black and White Wuchang in.

As soon as you enter the Great Hall of Hades, you will feel the yin and qi piercing through your bones, and you will feel a heavy sense of antiquated history blowing over your face.Although there are bright candles shining, this place is still not as bright as his moon palace.Under Ziwei Great Emperor's throne, there were two judges with serious faces and no smiles.Black and white impermanence welcomes guests in, bows to Emperor Ziwei, and then goes out again, possessing the body of the stone lion - a few years ago they escorted the ghosts back to the underworld, and something went wrong, and Ziwei punished them to possess the stone lion without rest, day and night Endure the pain of yellow sand and wind and dust blowing on the face.

Yue Xinghuan asked him for something, and knew that he had to speak softly, and said, "Emperor Ziwei, please be polite."

"Yeah." Ziwei's face was covered by twelve beaded beads, Yue Xinghuan couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could vaguely recognize that it was a sculpted face like a chiseled knife, resolute and unhuman.

"After greeting, Your Excellency can go." Emperor Ziwei sat on the ancient throne covered with complicated patterns, and there was a circular relief on the wall behind him, which was engraved with extremely strange flowers of enchantresses.He leaned back slightly, shrouded in a shadow, very contemptuous and indifferent.

No one has ever dared to neglect him like this before. Yue Xinghuan clenched his fists and suppressed his anger, "Old Ziwei, stop putting on airs! You should know why I am here!" Li, dare to call Emperor Ziwei "Old Ziwei", waved the judge's pen, and wanted to do something, Ziwei waved her hand lightly, signaling them not to be troublesome.

"I don't know." Emperor Ziwei said his words like gold.

"Honglian Yehuo, I want you to tell me Xihe's whereabouts." Yue Xinghuan finally said his request politely.

"I don't know." Emperor Ziwei paused slightly, waved his hand, and asked the judge to see the guests off.

"Hmph, you should have the red lotus karma fire? Can I borrow it from you?" Yue Xinghuan bowed politely at this point. He wanted to use the red lotus karma fire as a The thing that attracts spirits uses the Nuwa stone to search for news about Xihe.

"No." Emperor Ziwei's voice was as dull and serious as a statue of ice jade.

"You..." Yue Xinghuan couldn't hold back his temper any longer, so he threw two twisted golden threads and hit Emperor Ziwei.Ziwei didn't dodge or dodge, a ball of bright red flames ignited in her hands, with a golden center--the red lotus karma fire has been practiced to the ninth level, and it will have a faint golden rose color.Ziwei let the twisted golden thread wrap around her hands, and the flames wrapped her palms, but what was strange was that the flames clearly burned Ziwei, but Yue Xinghuan was the one who hurt.Yue Xinghuan covered her heart, and the tip of the beauty also trembled. The heart that had been burned by the red lotus karma before was still not healed. he.

"Please go back." Ziwei finished burning his twisted gold thread, put away the red lotus fire, and prepared to leave.

Yue Xinghuan refused to give up, Ziwei asked someone to welcome him in, and then taught him to go out after a while, why is that?Yue Xinghuan guessed the reason, there is no business at a discount in the world, and Ziwei would not lend him the red lotus fire for no reason, not to mention that it would take a lot of cultivation to wake up the Kunlun God.Thinking of this, Yue Xinghuan yelled, "Old Ziwei, stop!" The veins on his forehead bulged, "You... don't you want anything? You can't get out of the underworld, anything I can do , I can use it to trade with you."

Ziwei swayed and stabilized again. He turned his head, Zhuizhu swayed slightly, his eyes signaled the judge to step back, and walked down the royal steps. Yue Xinghuan got closer to him, and only then could he see his face clearly. The jade statue has a three-dimensional face, deep facial features, and a pale complexion—presumably because the underworld does not see sunlight all year round. "Sure enough. I don't know the whereabouts of Xihe. If the red lotus karmic fire cannot be cultivated to the tenth level, it will not be able to be a spirit-inducing thing." After hearing what Ziwei said, Yue Xinghuan remained silent. Ziwei has no choice but, "However, I know someone who must know the origin and whereabouts of Xihe."

"Who?" Yue Xinghuan asked.

"Kunlun, take a deep breath."

"He? But he's in a coma right now, even I don't know how to wake him up..."

"The power of Kunlun is shared by heaven and earth. Even the emperor of heaven may not be able to wake him up, so what can you do?"

"If that's the case...so..." Yue Xinghuan panicked, like a ferryman who lost his way, without the guidance of a lighthouse, at a loss.

Ziwei sighed, "Taixi doesn't care about his body, this time he will sleep for a long time to repair his injury, if you want him to wake up soon, I have a way, you can try it." Ziwei stretched out her hand, and appeared in the palm of her hand. Half of the blood jade pendant with cloud pattern, blood lines flow in the jade pendant. "The name of this jade is 'Blood Soul'. With its help, the body of Taixi was burned with the red lotus karma fire, and the spiritual veins of his whole body were burned to one place, and he was repaired with the ice soul jade. Within half a day, he could wake up." .”

Yue Xinghuan showed joy, and took the blood, "But this is only half, as I remember, the ice soul jade that appears in the world now is only half..."

"That's right. There is still half a blood, either on Yan Luo's body, or on Ji Zang's body, but these two are not in the underworld right now."

Yue Xinghuan knew about these two wandering around the world from the Emperor of Heaven, so he was not surprised when he heard this, "You mean, you want me to find these two back?"

"No. The two of them, I will send someone to look for them. I hope you can do two things for me. One is to help me find a pure corpse king heart of Emperor Wei level within three years; If one is necessary, please lend me a twisted golden thread."

"If I found the half of the Blood Soul and Ice Soul Jade earlier, but the corpse heart has not yet been found, is it possible that I have to wait another three years?"

"No, whenever you find what you need, I will lend you the Red Lotus Karmic Fire."

"Aren't you afraid that I won't help you find things after I know Xihe's whereabouts?"

"Although your Excellency claims to be romantic and ruthless, you are still a person of great promise." There was no joy or anger in Emperor Ziwei's eyes, only endless darkness.

"Oh, don't pretend to be smart!" Yue Xinghuan looked into this man's eyes, even a person like him who was used to seeing terrible things was a little startled.

"In that case, I will thank you, Your Excellency." Emperor Ziwei became more polite.

"Let's go." Yue Xinghuan waved away.

"Wait a minute, Ice Soul Jade, the aura is at its strongest when it snows in winter, and the position is easy to find. Wait for another half a year, otherwise..."

There was only Emperor Ziwei left in the hall, and Yue Xinghuan didn't hear what he said later, "Otherwise, life will be reversed and people will be killed..."

Emperor Ziwei was alone in the empty hall, with bright lights hanging around, only the throne stood tall and dark.His face was pale, and the beads cast shadows on his face. His tall body stood upright for a long time, making one hardly feel angry, like this hell, full of dead things, without any fun at all.

Yue Xinghuan came out from Ziwei and walked to the place where Huangquan fell. Last time, he cast a magic spell on the feather according to Gu Tao's words, and engraved the five characters "Xihe" and "Huangquanluo" with blood, etc. After three days and three nights, there was no response.At this time, he obviously thought it was funny, but he couldn't help but took out the feather and made the same movements as last time, still, there was no response.

"Hahahaha... Yue Luo, Yue Luo, how did you become as stupid as her?" He wiped off the blood on the feathers and put them gently in his arms. left the underworld.

After dozens of days, Yan Anzang and Rongyu finished shopping and went back to Chunyue.But on the way back, they encountered a strange thing.I saw a woman, wearing a dark blue robe, sitting in the center of the downtown area, talking eloquently.What she was talking about was a bit strange.

"Yangzhou has so many beautiful people, but this beauty is born and acquired." The woman was wearing a dark blue gauze scarf and a silver veil with tassels and pearl strings on her face. One can tell that she is an extremely beautiful woman.

"Look at what you said, how did that two-hundred-pound ugly girl become a beauty?" Seeing that she spoke mysteriously but had a pretty face, a handsome young man felt teasing.

"Body and skin, fat and thin are the easiest to change. Some people are heartbroken, they can lose ten catties in a ten-day period, some people eat and drink too much, and they can gain ten catties in a ten-day period. Some people don't gain or lose a catty all the year round, sir, Seeing your weak figure, you must have been born like this?"

Seeing her sudden question, the young master had no choice but to answer: "Well, even if the fat and thin can be changed, how can this face, given by the heavens, change?"

The woman smiled slightly, as if all the light in the world gathered on her lips. "Have you ever heard, 'Shun has a younger sister named Hualei'?"

The handsome young master had read some books, so he replied: "Hua Lei, sister Shun. Painting began with Lei, so it is called Hua Lei. Why, is it possible that this face can also be painted?" Everyone heard, Everyone will laugh.

"Mountains and rivers, insects, fish, birds, and animals can all be painted. Humans are nothing more than a reed in the world, how can they not be painted?" The woman's voice was not loud, but it was clear and generous, like jade beads falling into everyone's hearts. .She stood up, her fingers were like green onions, folded on her waist.On the dark blue dress, the color of stars seems to flow, flowing from the waist to the soles of the boots, and falling to the ground, with light blue ripples.There was a smile on her face, but her demeanor and appearance made it more and more obvious that she was not a human being.

"Girl..." Someone was moved by her words.

She took a few steps forward, and the crowd involuntarily made way for her, "If you all want to draw something but are still unhappy, you can find me in Zhifu City. If you are destined, you may meet each other." During the movement of the shape, it can be seen that there is a bamboo tube Zihao pen pinned to the waist.Seeing An Zang and Rong Yu not far away, she nodded slightly in salute, and soon disappeared.

Most people just thought she was crazy, right as a joke, and left in a rush.

Anzang looked at the direction she was leaving, thoughtful, seeing him in a daze, Rong Yu called out: "Anzang..."

"Ah?" Yan Anzang regained his composure, "Let's go back."

"Okay." Although Rong Yu felt that his reaction was strange, maybe he was tired these days, so he didn't ask further.The two of them rested for a while, then rushed to Chunyue.
