My mythology is different from yours
Chapter 23
His Majesty the Ghost Emperor's marriage was so sloppy and casual that he only had four words engraved on his forehead: Marriage of Benefits.So the other programs can be perfunctory, as long as they achieve their own goals.
At first Xuanzhi thought that Shen Tutao was trying to figure out the color and the body, but now it seems that it doesn't seem to be the case.So what is he planning on her?
When she was in Jiuli City, she was completely focused on how to keep Jiuli City, and she couldn't separate her thoughts to study His Majesty Ghost Emperor's plan. Now she has entered Beiming again, lying next to Shen Tutao , If she doesn't understand this problem, she really doesn't feel at ease.
Xuan Zhi tossed and turned, pressed her fingers on her lips, and suddenly remembered the monk of the Yun family who was pressed down by the dog demon to lick his face and sucked his energy. She suddenly realized, turned over and sat up suddenly, looked at Shen Tutao, "You..."
Shen Tutao raised her eyelids, her red pupils were as clear as washing, without any sleepiness, "What about me?"
Xuanzhi shut her mouth suddenly, if he exposed him now, would he just suck her dry without doing anything else?She just took a sip from him, and her body didn't seem to have any uncomfortable reaction, she just felt that his lips were a little cold.
Many thoughts flashed through her mind, she only paused for a moment, and decided to wait and see first, so she said in a soft tone, "Will Your Majesty want to sleep with me tonight?"
Shen Tutao also sat up, and asked back: "You don't need to sleep together in the bridal chamber?"
A need is a need, but can we be the same?We have never worshiped the heavens and the earth, and we can save some of the previous steps, so why can’t we also skip this step?
Xuanzhi grumbled in his heart, and said with concern: "I think His Majesty can't sleep?"
Shen Tutao flicked her shirt, "Well, I don't need to sleep alone."
Xuanzhi felt incredible, "Did your Majesty never sleep?"
"Never."
Xuanzhi: "..." No wonder Shen Tutao is always talking about being crazy sometimes, and if he hasn't slept for tens of thousands of years, his brain may be dead, right?She suddenly felt a little pity for His Majesty the Ghost Emperor.
Shen Tutao saw the obvious pity in her eyes, and her red pupils narrowed slightly, "If you can't sleep, then you can accompany Gu to find some other fun."
Xuanzhi suddenly remembered the last time he was dragged out of the bath to watch the excitement, she fell straight on the bed, closed her eyes and said repeatedly: "No, no, I can sleep, I'm so sleepy, super sleepy , I fell asleep when I fell asleep, and I fell asleep."
Shen Tutao glanced back at her, "Don't be sleepy."
Xuanzhi: "???" Just ask if you are reasonable?
Of course, His Majesty the Ghost Emperor has no reason at all.He brutally carried Xuanzhi out of the palace, and dragged her through countless winding corridors and palace after palace that looked similar.
Many of the pavilions and corridors in the Underworld Palace are built on large or small peach wood branches, just like the tree and the palace are integrated together. Last time Xuanzhi saw the Underworld Palace full of flowers, a large group of pink powder Spread dyeing between the palace walls and buildings, there are places that should be born, and places that shouldn't be born, rendering the whole palace of the underworld like a paradise.
But now, for some reason, the peach blossoms are all gone, leaving only the overgrown branches, occasionally glancing across, it looks like ghostly shadows, more and more eerie.
Xuan Zhi could not find Bei soon.
Just when she thought that what Shen Tutao was talking about was a crazy late-night race like this, his footsteps suddenly stopped again.
Xuan Zhi looked up, and saw the end of a long corridor in front of him, but it was not closed, but a tree trunk almost as thick as the ground of the long corridor protruded from the bottom.Many branches branched out from the branches, and the anaconda formed a dilapidated doorway-like shape.
There are dry gullies all over those branches, it doesn't seem to be alive.
But not long ago, Xuanzhi had seen them bloom.She had some doubts in her heart, but now she was too tired to delve into it. She turned to Shen Tutao and asked sincerely: "Your Majesty, have you walked enough steps today? Can you go back and rest?"
Without saying a word, Shen Tutao dragged her onto the cracked tree trunk, and passed through the doorway where the branches were knotted.
The next moment, noisy voices rushed into her ears, suppressing Xuanzhi's urge to insult Shen Tutao, she opened her eyes in surprise, looking at the bustling market street in front of her.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, the halls are brightly lit, guests and pedestrians can be seen, and there are many small stalls on the street, and the sound of selling can be heard vaguely. This place is no different from an ordinary market.
"We're back in the human world again?" Xuanzhi asked doubtfully, but looking at the gloomy weather with Beiming's characteristics, it didn't seem like it.
Shen Tutao pinched the back of her neck and turned her head in a different direction. Xuanzhi's eyes turned accordingly, and at the end of her sight she could see a tall dark city tower hanging in the sky. She suddenly said: "Gate of ghosts? Oh, we Still in Beiming, what kind of place is this?"
Shen Tutao let go of her, and walked to a restaurant at the crossroads, and said as he walked, "City of No Return, this is the first place where newborn ghosts pass through the gate of ghosts and step into Beiming. Over time, such a city has been formed. .”
As soon as the two of them stepped into the restaurant, they were greeted by the waiter, and there were still many diners sitting in the hall drinking and dining.These people all looked very human, not as indescribable as the evil spirits she had seen before, as if they were a city in the world.
So much so that Xuanzhi stepped into the store, and suddenly thought of her identity as a living person. When she was at the foot of Duxu Mountain last time, she was stared at by a group of ghosts in such a way that she really cast a psychological shadow. Cover your mouth and nose.
But when the little girl came up to meet her, she didn't respond, she just glanced at her curiously, and led Shen Tutao upstairs familiarly, and everyone in the hall didn't respond to her at all.
Xuan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her hand to touch the peach tree branch on her head, probably because it covered up her vitality.
Xiaoer led him to a location on the second floor, where the view is extremely wide, not only can you see the entire lobby of the restaurant, but also see the crossroads outside, it is the location with the best view in this restaurant. The business is so booming, such a good location has not been taken by others, it is obvious that the restaurant deliberately keeps it, presumably Shentu Tao is a frequent visitor here.
As soon as they took their seats, they saw a good show before their buttocks sat still.
At the intersection outside the restaurant, a man suddenly went berserk, fell to the ground and rolled over, scratching and tearing his heart frantically, his cry pierced through the whole street, as if he was being tortured , It makes people feel scalp numb.
Someone dissatisfied: "This criminal is really unlucky. He knows when he will be punished, so he doesn't just find a place to stay, and runs out on the street to pollute people's eyes."
"It may be a newborn sinner who doesn't know the rules, and will know it after a while."
Whether it was people on the street or in the restaurant, they were just watching and commenting, completely indifferent to the tragic situation of that person, as if it was commonplace.
Only Xuan Zhi was so frightened that he flicked his butt, looked down from the railing, turned his head to look at Shen Tutao curiously, and asked, "Drunk? Isn't this drunk too scary? I'm afraid it's not drinking." He bought fake wine, he almost scratched his stomach."
Shen Tutao was speechless for a moment, then glanced out nonchalantly, "Sinners, sinners who have been convicted, will suffer the backlash of their own sins every twelve hours from the time they become ghosts until the mark of sin on their chest disappears. Then you can be released and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.”
After hearing what he said, Xuan Zhi lowered her head to look at the criminal carefully for a moment, and she saw a dark red mark on his bloody chest.Even though he scratched his chest until it was bloody, the imprint was still embedded in his heart.
It turned out to be like this, Xuanzhi thought of the crimes committed by Yun Zhishen, and immediately felt no pity for the criminal, she looked away, looked at the wine, meat, and vegetables on the table of the diners, and asked: "Your Majesty, Can I eat something here?"
Xuanzhi is only at the Qi Condensation stage, and she has not been able to fast. Since she entered the book, she has been running around non-stop, and she has never eaten a few good meals. Now she is so hungry.
Shen Tutao paused for a moment before realizing that the person in front of him needed to eat.He raised his hand to call for Xiao Er, who immediately floated over and said courteously, "What do you need, sir?"
"Do you have any special dishes here that you can recommend?" Xuan Zhi asked.
The waiter took a look at Shen Tutao, the guest officer often came to sit in the restaurant, but he never ordered food or even drank a glass of water, but the shopkeeper reserved the best seat for him every day, Whether he comes or not.
At first Xiao Er was still curious, but the shopkeeper didn't ask him to ask more questions, and he didn't bother him if he had nothing to do.
For so long, it was the first time he saw this guest officer bring other people and order food.
Seeing that Shen Tutao didn't object, Xiao Er cheered up and said proudly: "It depends on where you came from, guest officer. Our restaurant is called 'Taste of the World', which naturally includes flavors from all over the world. The chef in the world cooks it himself, and every dish is a well-known special dish, which is absolutely delicious."
Xuanzhi was drooling from what he said, and his eyes lit up, "You still hired a stranger chef?"
"That's not true. If a stranger enters Beiming, then what kind of food do you eat? You can eat the chef directly. Isn't the energy of a living person more delicious than any other dish?"
Xuanzhi: "..." You fucking made sense.
The waiter realized that he had strayed from the topic, and hurriedly changed back to the topic, explaining: "Our restaurant is unique in Beiming, and we can cooperate with that human restaurant. When cooking in a restaurant, the essence of the color, aroma, and flavor of the food will be transferred to our back kitchen the moment it is cooked, ensuring that the guests can taste the freshest delicacy in the world at the first moment."
Oh, she understood, but she still can't eat the real food, but can only absorb the essence of the food.
The light in Xuanzhi's eyes dimmed little by little, thinking dejectedly, her life is so miserable.Since time travelling, I have neither slept nor eaten well.
Seeing that she looked like she was dying, Shen Tutao frowned, and interjected, "Bring me the menu."
Xiao Er took out a piece of yellow paper and looked closely at the material, which looked like paper money. The names of the dishes were densely written on it. Shen Tutao took the pen handed over by Xiao Er, and circled the dishes on the entire menu with a swipe of the pen. Then he drew a few runes on the blank space on the top of the menu, and handed the menu back again, ordering him to serve the food as soon as possible.
Xiaoer looked at the runes on the menu, stepped back in a daze, and brought up a large tray of dishes after a while, with an extremely shocked expression on his face, "Guest, guest officer, this is the real thing. If you see If it is not suitable, it can be returned."
The real thing is eaten by humans, how can ghosts eat it?Xiao Er went to ask the shopkeeper for advice, but the shopkeeper only knew not to ask too many questions, just serve it up.If the guest officer is dissatisfied, he will fight, and his feelings will not hit him.
Xuan Zhi's eyes lit up, "It's suitable, let's put it down, I'm sorry."
When the food was placed on the table, it was still steaming hot. There were braised pork knuckles, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, fish heads with chopped peppers, and sauerkraut and vermicelli soup.
Xuanzhi smelled a strong smell of food, and only then did she realize that since she stepped into this restaurant, she only saw the wine and meat on the tables of many diners, and saw them eating with gusto, but she didn't smell it until the food in front of her was on the table. The rice is fragrant.
Presumably this should be Shen Tutao's handwriting, she said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
This table is just an appetizer, and there are still many dishes left behind, Xuan Zhi hurriedly stopped Xiaoer to tell him not to cook the rest, she couldn't finish it.
This street is really lively, ghosts come and go, there are good shows happening inside and outside from time to time, it can be compared to a natural stage.
Although the newborn Yin Gui has no vitality in his body, there is still a strong sense of humanity in his heart. The joy, anger, sorrow, and joy have not been exhausted in this dead Beiming. This city of no return can be said to be the most human-like atmosphere , and the most "alive" place.
His Majesty the Ghost Emperor has a long and endless time, and there is always a lot of time to pass, so he often comes here to sit and have fun.
He was originally looking at the intersection, but unconsciously turned his gaze back to the person opposite who was enjoying himself.Xuanzhi's eating style is very gentle, chewing slowly, but eating very deliciously. When she picks a dish that suits her taste, she will happily squint her eyes and pick up a few chopsticks vigorously. If there is something that doesn't suit her taste, she will put it aside , In the end, in order not to waste, I will barely stuff a few more mouthfuls.
After eating a meal, even Shen Tutao, who is not interested in the five flavors, can tell that she likes spicy food rather than sweet.
After eating and drinking enough, Xuanzhi became more and more drowsy, almost unable to open his eyes, and asked again: "Your Majesty, when shall we go back?"
Shen Tutao was using chopsticks to dip a little pepper from the chopped pepper fish head into his mouth - he was really curious to see that Xuan Zhi ate two bowls of rice with this chopped pepper.
Xuanzhi silently watched him taste the bright red pepper, then quickly frowned, pursed his lips and did not speak.Looking at his expression, it was obviously hot, but His Majesty the Ghost Emperor didn't react, his eyes were not red and he was not panting, he just gave her an indescribable look, as if to say "this shit-like thing You eat too".
Xuanzhi: "...Your Majesty, if it's too spicy, drink two sips of water, or take two breaths of cool air into your mouth like this, the tighter you close your mouth, the hotter it will be." Xuanzhi took two breaths and taught him, It was only after he finished inhaling that he remembered that Shen Tutao would not be panting.
She picked up a chopstick of brown sugar glutinous rice and handed it to his mouth, "Then you should eat something sweet, it relieves the spicy taste."
Shen Tutao took a breath of anger from Xuanzhi. When the five senses were most sensitive, although the body didn't respond, the whole person was actually so hot that his soul was almost out of his body.He pursed his lips for a moment, and finally opened his mouth obediently to eat the mouthful of sweet rice.
"How is it?" Xuanzhi asked.
Shen Tutao looked disgusted, "It's so unpalatable."
Xuanzhi: All right, I don't bother with you.
After coming out of the restaurant, Xuanzhi walked out drowsily, and was suddenly grabbed by Shen Tutao. The next moment, the breath of the market quickly retreated from his side, and they returned to the peach tree branch.
Xuan Zhi was dragged back to the palace like a wandering soul. After Shen Tutao turned and left, she squinted her eyes and was washed clean by the cicada slaves who came up to her, and finally lay down on the bed and had a peaceful sleep.
She slept very deeply this time, Channu saw that she was still awake halfway, thought it was the same as last time, and hurried back to the Shadow Palace to report.Shen Tutao blew over like a gust of wind, sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her for a while, making sure that she was just asleep and not about to die, said "Leave her alone" and flung her sleeves back to the residence.
……
Xuan Zhi slept for a full day and night to get rid of the tiredness accumulated in her body during this period of time.After waking up refreshed, another soldier came to cover the water and earth, a passionate young man full of enthusiasm for the future.
Cicada Nu saw her wake up and rushed in to serve her.Xuanzhi is actually not used to being served by others, but if she refuses, these little golden cicadas will stand by and stare at her. Although there is no expression on their faces, they always look pitiful with those dark eyes.
When Xuanzhi saw these little golden cicadas, she also felt kind. These little golden cicadas were the only ones in Beiming that were cute, and they couldn't help being stared at, so she said: "Okay, then you all come and help me comb my hair and change my clothes. "
The lifeless little Jinchan came alive in an instant, one person combed her hair, one person put on jewelry, one person put on makeup, and another person held her fingers to care for her.
The rest helped her choose clothes on the side, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this one?"
Xuan Zhi saw a set of pastel pink spring dresses they took out from the mirror, and felt a little familiar.
"Where do these dresses come from?" Xuanzhi asked.
"Your Majesty ordered someone to send it." Cicada Nu replied.
Xuanzhi picked up a box of rouge in the makeup drawer, and saw a small mark at the bottom of the rouge box, a bird pattern simply outlined with golden lines, it was the logo of the most famous powder shop in Jiuli City, and the original owner was there regulars.
She ran to look around and found that there were not only the old things left in the boudoir by the original owner before she got married, but also the dowry she had when she married the Yun family. inside.
I really don't know whether to praise His Majesty Ghost Emperor for doing a good job, or praise him for being thoughtful.
Cicada Nu, who had no work to do, stood aside and continued to stare at her with those swarthy eyes.
Xuan Zhi thought for a while and said, "Why don't you sing for me?" Jin Chan must have a good voice, right?
Then, Xuanzhi heard the familiar cicadas in summer.
Xuanzhi: "..." It's in love and reason.
After dressing up, Channu brought food to the table and waited for her to eat.The food was steaming hot, and she could eat it directly.
"Are these sent by 'Human Taste'?" Xuan Zhi asked.
The cicada slave replied: "Your Majesty ordered that we will go to the Human World Restaurant to pick up the three meals a day from now on."
Very good, Xuanzhi is very satisfied.
After eating, she took a few steps in the yard to digest. Beiming will always be a gloomy sky and drowsy land. It is hard to tell how the day and night rotate. People depressed.
Fortunately, she was in a good mood and high-spirited. After walking back, she sat down on the soft couch and first used her consciousness to pay respects in the ashram of Dasheng and Erlang.Then she crossed her legs and fell into meditation, trying to take the initiative to absorb the spiritual energy, but she searched for inspiration around her for a long time, but she couldn't find any spiritual energy.
The surrounding area is full of evil spirits, floating in the void, no wonder Bei Ming looks from the sky to the bottom, always looking at the darkness.
Without aura, she couldn't stay in Beimingli.This boundary wall of Beiming can restrain others, but the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is omnipotent in heaven and earth, and has run into the underworld several times to bully the king of Hades.
She is full of spiritual power now, and she has the panacea obtained from Yun Zhishen, so she can leave if she wants to.However, where to leave Beiming, she still needs to plan carefully. Moreover, she has just "married" Beiming, so Shen Tutao will not let her leave easily.
Xuanzhi thought for a moment, and decided to go and find out what kind of plans were going on in Shen Tutao's broken mind.
After making up her mind, Xuanzhi asked Channu to lead her to the living hall of His Majesty the Ghost Emperor. Just like the scene she saw the night before, the peach blossoms on Duxu Mountain were indeed all gone, not even a single petal remained .
Xuanzhi carefully touched the wild peach tree on the side of the road, stretched out his hand and broke off a dead branch to study.
The cicada slave who was accompanying her was startled when she saw that she had actually broken off a mahogany branch.Xuanzhi didn't realize it, and was still studying the dead branch in his hand, how could this kind of dead wood bloom?But she clearly remembered that they had bloomed.
She turned her head and asked, "I remember this tree bloomed before? Why did it die so quickly?"
Channu said: "The peach blossoms on Duxu Mountain only bloomed for one night."
The grand scene of that night was like the sudden light of the sky, tearing away the gloom that had not changed for thousands of years on Duxu Mountain, and it was unforgettable for just one night.
All the ghosts and monsters in the ghost domain in the ten directions were disturbed, and a crowd of ghosts surged, and they all surrounded the foot of Duxu Mountain.But the flowers on Duxu Mountain bloomed abruptly and withered abruptly, and the mountain of pink and daisy began to dissipate from the foot of the mountain, and passed overnight without a trace.
Xuanzhi couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it, threw the branch casually, and said, "Let's go."
Cicada Nu's eyes turned around on the branch, she was so frightened that she fell silent, and led her back to the Shadow Palace with her head buried.
Channu took her outside the living hall of His Majesty the Ghost Emperor, and stood still. Without being summoned by His Majesty, Channu dared not go in.Xuanzhi could only walk in alone.
When passing through the front hall and walking into the garden of the back hall, Xuanzhi saw the huge peach tree by the pool. Its trunk was as thick as three people hugging each other, and its branches were overgrown. Now there are no flowers or leaves, only black branches left. Standing there with teeth and claws.
She couldn't find Shen Tutao outside, so she hesitated for a moment and walked inside.
Across a front hall, there is a courtyard surrounded by pavilions on all sides, like a small square well. There is nothing else in the square well, only a peach tree, with a single branch, but it is in full bloom. Very prosperous peach tree.
This peach tree is much smaller than the big peach tree outside, not even as big as one of its branches, only as tall as a person, with pink flower buds all over the branches.
Xuanzhi's pupils reflected the crimson light of peach blossoms, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, the peach blossom tree was still there.
She quickly walked a few steps into the yard, and glanced at the entire peach tree.Large clusters of pink and tender peach blossoms clustered on the branches, under the clusters of tender green leaves, reddish-brown branches, although thin and short, like malnutrition, but with fresh vitality.
It is different from the peach tree stumps I saw along the way.
Xuanzhi was puzzled in his heart, Channu said that all the peach blossoms in Duxu Mountain withered overnight, why is there still a flowering tree here?
She stretched out her hand to touch the peach blossom on the branch, but when her fingertips were about to touch it, she was pinned to her wrist by the slanted fingers, unable to move.
As soon as Xuanzhi raised his eyes, he saw the red pupils of His Majesty the Ghost Emperor under the shade of peach blossoms.
Shen Tutao pulled her away from under the peach tree and said, "Don't touch it."
"Oh." Xuanzhi scoffed in her heart, as if she had never seen a peach blossom before, she broke free from the shackles of Shentu peach, and said curiously, "The peach blossoms on the mountain are all gone, why are the peach blossoms here, Your Majesty, still blooming?" ?”
Shen Tutao didn't answer, but said: "From now on, you will come here every nine days to make me angry until this peach tree bears fruit."
"Why?" Xuanzhi looked puzzled, looking at him, then at Peach Tree, then at him.
Shen Tutao, this name——
Xuanzhi: "!!!!"
Counting on her fingers, it was exactly nine days from the last time she fell into the water and crossed him with one breath, to the day he "married" her.
So, His Majesty the Ghost Emperor, who is so frightening, is actually a mahogany spirit?There have been no flowers blooming on Duxu Mountain for tens of thousands of years, because she made Shentu Taodu angry by accident, so His Majesty the Ghost Emperor bloomed?
Not only has it blossomed, but now he wants fruit!
Xuan Zhi glanced at his stomach in shock, so what... For plants, this should be regarded as reproduction. The meaning of Shen Tutao, if translated into adult language, wouldn't it be to let her assist in the production?
No wonder His Majesty doesn't care if she will have children, it turns out that he can have children by himself!
This routine made her suddenly think of the small advertisement of "beautiful rich woman who spends a lot of money to seek a child".
Xuanzhi took a peek at Shen Tutao's overly pretty face, and automatically corrected it in her mind: pretty ghost emperor, seeking a child online.
The beautiful rich woman borrowed her temper, and the handsome ghost emperor borrowed her anger.If he really bears fruit, is the fruit related to her by blood?Will she be the child's mother... Ah bah, the child's father?
Her eyes were so weird, Shen Tutao frowned, and didn't waste his time asking what she was thinking, but directly raised his hand, quickly grabbed her chin, pulled a peach blossom from the branch with the other hand and stuffed it into it. She put her mouth in her mouth and closed it tightly again.
The peach blossoms enter the entrance, but there is no chill like before.
Shen Tutao's movements were done in one go, crisp and neat, so fast that Xuan Zhi had no time to clear up the rebellious thoughts in his mind.
Xuan Zhi: "..." Dog, can you move faster?
At first Xuanzhi thought that Shen Tutao was trying to figure out the color and the body, but now it seems that it doesn't seem to be the case.So what is he planning on her?
When she was in Jiuli City, she was completely focused on how to keep Jiuli City, and she couldn't separate her thoughts to study His Majesty Ghost Emperor's plan. Now she has entered Beiming again, lying next to Shen Tutao , If she doesn't understand this problem, she really doesn't feel at ease.
Xuan Zhi tossed and turned, pressed her fingers on her lips, and suddenly remembered the monk of the Yun family who was pressed down by the dog demon to lick his face and sucked his energy. She suddenly realized, turned over and sat up suddenly, looked at Shen Tutao, "You..."
Shen Tutao raised her eyelids, her red pupils were as clear as washing, without any sleepiness, "What about me?"
Xuanzhi shut her mouth suddenly, if he exposed him now, would he just suck her dry without doing anything else?She just took a sip from him, and her body didn't seem to have any uncomfortable reaction, she just felt that his lips were a little cold.
Many thoughts flashed through her mind, she only paused for a moment, and decided to wait and see first, so she said in a soft tone, "Will Your Majesty want to sleep with me tonight?"
Shen Tutao also sat up, and asked back: "You don't need to sleep together in the bridal chamber?"
A need is a need, but can we be the same?We have never worshiped the heavens and the earth, and we can save some of the previous steps, so why can’t we also skip this step?
Xuanzhi grumbled in his heart, and said with concern: "I think His Majesty can't sleep?"
Shen Tutao flicked her shirt, "Well, I don't need to sleep alone."
Xuanzhi felt incredible, "Did your Majesty never sleep?"
"Never."
Xuanzhi: "..." No wonder Shen Tutao is always talking about being crazy sometimes, and if he hasn't slept for tens of thousands of years, his brain may be dead, right?She suddenly felt a little pity for His Majesty the Ghost Emperor.
Shen Tutao saw the obvious pity in her eyes, and her red pupils narrowed slightly, "If you can't sleep, then you can accompany Gu to find some other fun."
Xuanzhi suddenly remembered the last time he was dragged out of the bath to watch the excitement, she fell straight on the bed, closed her eyes and said repeatedly: "No, no, I can sleep, I'm so sleepy, super sleepy , I fell asleep when I fell asleep, and I fell asleep."
Shen Tutao glanced back at her, "Don't be sleepy."
Xuanzhi: "???" Just ask if you are reasonable?
Of course, His Majesty the Ghost Emperor has no reason at all.He brutally carried Xuanzhi out of the palace, and dragged her through countless winding corridors and palace after palace that looked similar.
Many of the pavilions and corridors in the Underworld Palace are built on large or small peach wood branches, just like the tree and the palace are integrated together.

Xuan Zhi looked up, and saw the end of a long corridor in front of him, but it was not closed, but a tree trunk almost as thick as the ground of the long corridor protruded from the bottom.Many branches branched out from the branches, and the anaconda formed a dilapidated doorway-like shape.
There are dry gullies all over those branches, it doesn't seem to be alive.
But not long ago, Xuanzhi had seen them bloom.She had some doubts in her heart, but now she was too tired to delve into it. She turned to Shen Tutao and asked sincerely: "Your Majesty, have you walked enough steps today? Can you go back and rest?"

"It may be a newborn sinner who doesn't know the rules, and will know it after a while."
Whether it was people on the street or in the restaurant, they were just watching and commenting, completely indifferent to the tragic situation of that person, as if it was commonplace.
Only Xuan Zhi was so frightened that he flicked his butt, looked down from the railing, turned his head to look at Shen Tutao curiously, and asked, "Drunk? Isn't this drunk too scary? I'm afraid it's not drinking." He bought fake wine, he almost scratched his stomach."
Shen Tutao was speechless for a moment, then glanced out nonchalantly, "Sinners, sinners who have been convicted, will suffer the backlash of their own sins every twelve hours from the time they become ghosts until the mark of sin on their chest disappears. Then you can be released and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.”
After hearing what he said, Xuan Zhi lowered her head to look at the criminal carefully for a moment, and she saw a dark red mark on his bloody chest.Even though he scratched his chest until it was bloody, the imprint was still embedded in his heart.
It turned out to be like this, Xuanzhi thought of the crimes committed by Yun Zhishen, and immediately felt no pity for the criminal, she looked away, looked at the wine, meat, and vegetables on the table of the diners, and asked: "Your Majesty, Can I eat something here?"
Xuanzhi is only at the Qi Condensation stage, and she has not been able to fast. Since she entered the book, she has been running around non-stop, and she has never eaten a few good meals. Now she is so hungry.
Shen Tutao paused for a moment before realizing that the person in front of him needed to eat.He raised his hand to call for Xiao Er, who immediately floated over and said courteously, "What do you need, sir?"
"Do you have any special dishes here that you can recommend?" Xuan Zhi asked.
The waiter took a look at Shen Tutao, the guest officer often came to sit in the restaurant, but he never ordered food or even drank a glass of water, but the shopkeeper reserved the best seat for him every day, Whether he comes or not.
At first Xiao Er was still curious, but the shopkeeper didn't ask him to ask more questions, and he didn't bother him if he had nothing to do.
For so long, it was the first time he saw this guest officer bring other people and order food.
Seeing that Shen Tutao didn't object, Xiao Er cheered up and said proudly: "It depends on where you came from, guest officer. Our restaurant is called 'Taste of the World', which naturally includes flavors from all over the world. The chef in the world cooks it himself, and every dish is a well-known special dish, which is absolutely delicious."
Xuanzhi was drooling from what he said, and his eyes lit up, "You still hired a stranger chef?"
"That's not true. If a stranger enters Beiming, then what kind of food do you eat? You can eat the chef directly. Isn't the energy of a living person more delicious than any other dish?"
Xuanzhi: "..." You fucking made sense.
The waiter realized that he had strayed from the topic, and hurriedly changed back to the topic, explaining: "Our restaurant is unique in Beiming, and we can cooperate with that human restaurant. When cooking in a restaurant, the essence of the color, aroma, and flavor of the food will be transferred to our back kitchen the moment it is cooked, ensuring that the guests can taste the freshest delicacy in the world at the first moment."
Oh, she understood, but she still can't eat the real food, but can only absorb the essence of the food.
The light in Xuanzhi's eyes dimmed little by little, thinking dejectedly, her life is so miserable.Since time travelling, I have neither slept nor eaten well.
Seeing that she looked like she was dying, Shen Tutao frowned, and interjected, "Bring me the menu."
Xiao Er took out a piece of yellow paper and looked closely at the material, which looked like paper money. The names of the dishes were densely written on it. Shen Tutao took the pen handed over by Xiao Er, and circled the dishes on the entire menu with a swipe of the pen. Then he drew a few runes on the blank space on the top of the menu, and handed the menu back again, ordering him to serve the food as soon as possible.
Xiaoer looked at the runes on the menu, stepped back in a daze, and brought up a large tray of dishes after a while, with an extremely shocked expression on his face, "Guest, guest officer, this is the real thing. If you see If it is not suitable, it can be returned."
The real thing is eaten by humans, how can ghosts eat it?Xiao Er went to ask the shopkeeper for advice, but the shopkeeper only knew not to ask too many questions, just serve it up.If the guest officer is dissatisfied, he will fight, and his feelings will not hit him.
Xuan Zhi's eyes lit up, "It's suitable, let's put it down, I'm sorry."
When the food was placed on the table, it was still steaming hot. There were braised pork knuckles, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, fish heads with chopped peppers, and sauerkraut and vermicelli soup.
Xuanzhi smelled a strong smell of food, and only then did she realize that since she stepped into this restaurant, she only saw the wine and meat on the tables of many diners, and saw them eating with gusto, but she didn't smell it until the food in front of her was on the table. The rice is fragrant.
Presumably this should be Shen Tutao's handwriting, she said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
This table is just an appetizer, and there are still many dishes left behind, Xuan Zhi hurriedly stopped Xiaoer to tell him not to cook the rest, she couldn't finish it.
This street is really lively, ghosts come and go, there are good shows happening inside and outside from time to time, it can be compared to a natural stage.
Although the newborn Yin Gui has no vitality in his body, there is still a strong sense of humanity in his heart. The joy, anger, sorrow, and joy have not been exhausted in this dead Beiming. This city of no return can be said to be the most human-like atmosphere , and the most "alive" place.
His Majesty the Ghost Emperor has a long and endless time, and there is always a lot of time to pass, so he often comes here to sit and have fun.
He was originally looking at the intersection, but unconsciously turned his gaze back to the person opposite who was enjoying himself.Xuanzhi's eating style is very gentle, chewing slowly, but eating very deliciously. When she picks a dish that suits her taste, she will happily squint her eyes and pick up a few chopsticks vigorously. If there is something that doesn't suit her taste, she will put it aside , In the end, in order not to waste, I will barely stuff a few more mouthfuls.
After eating a meal, even Shen Tutao, who is not interested in the five flavors, can tell that she likes spicy food rather than sweet.
After eating and drinking enough, Xuanzhi became more and more drowsy, almost unable to open his eyes, and asked again: "Your Majesty, when shall we go back?"
Shen Tutao was using chopsticks to dip a little pepper from the chopped pepper fish head into his mouth - he was really curious to see that Xuan Zhi ate two bowls of rice with this chopped pepper.
Xuanzhi silently watched him taste the bright red pepper, then quickly frowned, pursed his lips and did not speak.Looking at his expression, it was obviously hot, but His Majesty the Ghost Emperor didn't react, his eyes were not red and he was not panting, he just gave her an indescribable look, as if to say "this shit-like thing You eat too".
Xuanzhi: "...Your Majesty, if it's too spicy, drink two sips of water, or take two breaths of cool air into your mouth like this, the tighter you close your mouth, the hotter it will be." Xuanzhi took two breaths and taught him, It was only after he finished inhaling that he remembered that Shen Tutao would not be panting.
She picked up a chopstick of brown sugar glutinous rice and handed it to his mouth, "Then you should eat something sweet, it relieves the spicy taste."
Shen Tutao took a breath of anger from Xuanzhi. When the five senses were most sensitive, although the body didn't respond, the whole person was actually so hot that his soul was almost out of his body.He pursed his lips for a moment, and finally opened his mouth obediently to eat the mouthful of sweet rice.
"How is it?" Xuanzhi asked.
Shen Tutao looked disgusted, "It's so unpalatable."
Xuanzhi: All right, I don't bother with you.
After coming out of the restaurant, Xuanzhi walked out drowsily, and was suddenly grabbed by Shen Tutao. The next moment, the breath of the market quickly retreated from his side, and they returned to the peach tree branch.
Xuan Zhi was dragged back to the palace like a wandering soul. After Shen Tutao turned and left, she squinted her eyes and was washed clean by the cicada slaves who came up to her, and finally lay down on the bed and had a peaceful sleep.
She slept very deeply this time, Channu saw that she was still awake halfway, thought it was the same as last time, and hurried back to the Shadow Palace to report.Shen Tutao blew over like a gust of wind, sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her for a while, making sure that she was just asleep and not about to die, said "Leave her alone" and flung her sleeves back to the residence.
……
Xuan Zhi slept for a full day and night to get rid of the tiredness accumulated in her body during this period of time.After waking up refreshed, another soldier came to cover the water and earth, a passionate young man full of enthusiasm for the future.
Cicada Nu saw her wake up and rushed in to serve her.Xuanzhi is actually not used to being served by others, but if she refuses, these little golden cicadas will stand by and stare at her. Although there is no expression on their faces, they always look pitiful with those dark eyes.
When Xuanzhi saw these little golden cicadas, she also felt kind. These little golden cicadas were the only ones in Beiming that were cute, and they couldn't help being stared at, so she said: "Okay, then you all come and help me comb my hair and change my clothes. "
The lifeless little Jinchan came alive in an instant, one person combed her hair, one person put on jewelry, one person put on makeup, and another person held her fingers to care for her.
The rest helped her choose clothes on the side, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this one?"
Xuan Zhi saw a set of pastel pink spring dresses they took out from the mirror, and felt a little familiar.
"Where do these dresses come from?" Xuanzhi asked.
"Your Majesty ordered someone to send it." Cicada Nu replied.
Xuanzhi picked up a box of rouge in the makeup drawer, and saw a small mark at the bottom of the rouge box, a bird pattern simply outlined with golden lines, it was the logo of the most famous powder shop in Jiuli City, and the original owner was there regulars.
She ran to look around and found that there were not only the old things left in the boudoir by the original owner before she got married, but also the dowry she had when she married the Yun family. inside.
I really don't know whether to praise His Majesty Ghost Emperor for doing a good job, or praise him for being thoughtful.
Cicada Nu, who had no work to do, stood aside and continued to stare at her with those swarthy eyes.
Xuan Zhi thought for a while and said, "Why don't you sing for me?" Jin Chan must have a good voice, right?
Then, Xuanzhi heard the familiar cicadas in summer.
Xuanzhi: "..." It's in love and reason.
After dressing up, Channu brought food to the table and waited for her to eat.The food was steaming hot, and she could eat it directly.
"Are these sent by 'Human Taste'?" Xuan Zhi asked.
The cicada slave replied: "Your Majesty ordered that we will go to the Human World Restaurant to pick up the three meals a day from now on."
Very good, Xuanzhi is very satisfied.
After eating, she took a few steps in the yard to digest. Beiming will always be a gloomy sky and drowsy land. It is hard to tell how the day and night rotate. People depressed.
Fortunately, she was in a good mood and high-spirited. After walking back, she sat down on the soft couch and first used her consciousness to pay respects in the ashram of Dasheng and Erlang.Then she crossed her legs and fell into meditation, trying to take the initiative to absorb the spiritual energy, but she searched for inspiration around her for a long time, but she couldn't find any spiritual energy.
The surrounding area is full of evil spirits, floating in the void, no wonder Bei Ming looks from the sky to the bottom, always looking at the darkness.
Without aura, she couldn't stay in Beimingli.This boundary wall of Beiming can restrain others, but the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is omnipotent in heaven and earth, and has run into the underworld several times to bully the king of Hades.
She is full of spiritual power now, and she has the panacea obtained from Yun Zhishen, so she can leave if she wants to.However, where to leave Beiming, she still needs to plan carefully. Moreover, she has just "married" Beiming, so Shen Tutao will not let her leave easily.
Xuanzhi thought for a moment, and decided to go and find out what kind of plans were going on in Shen Tutao's broken mind.
After making up her mind, Xuanzhi asked Channu to lead her to the living hall of His Majesty the Ghost Emperor. Just like the scene she saw the night before, the peach blossoms on Duxu Mountain were indeed all gone, not even a single petal remained .
Xuanzhi carefully touched the wild peach tree on the side of the road, stretched out his hand and broke off a dead branch to study.
The cicada slave who was accompanying her was startled when she saw that she had actually broken off a mahogany branch.Xuanzhi didn't realize it, and was still studying the dead branch in his hand, how could this kind of dead wood bloom?But she clearly remembered that they had bloomed.
She turned her head and asked, "I remember this tree bloomed before? Why did it die so quickly?"
Channu said: "The peach blossoms on Duxu Mountain only bloomed for one night."
The grand scene of that night was like the sudden light of the sky, tearing away the gloom that had not changed for thousands of years on Duxu Mountain, and it was unforgettable for just one night.
All the ghosts and monsters in the ghost domain in the ten directions were disturbed, and a crowd of ghosts surged, and they all surrounded the foot of Duxu Mountain.But the flowers on Duxu Mountain bloomed abruptly and withered abruptly, and the mountain of pink and daisy began to dissipate from the foot of the mountain, and passed overnight without a trace.
Xuanzhi couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it, threw the branch casually, and said, "Let's go."
Cicada Nu's eyes turned around on the branch, she was so frightened that she fell silent, and led her back to the Shadow Palace with her head buried.
Channu took her outside the living hall of His Majesty the Ghost Emperor, and stood still. Without being summoned by His Majesty, Channu dared not go in.Xuanzhi could only walk in alone.
When passing through the front hall and walking into the garden of the back hall, Xuanzhi saw the huge peach tree by the pool. Its trunk was as thick as three people hugging each other, and its branches were overgrown. Now there are no flowers or leaves, only black branches left. Standing there with teeth and claws.
She couldn't find Shen Tutao outside, so she hesitated for a moment and walked inside.
Across a front hall, there is a courtyard surrounded by pavilions on all sides, like a small square well. There is nothing else in the square well, only a peach tree, with a single branch, but it is in full bloom. Very prosperous peach tree.
This peach tree is much smaller than the big peach tree outside, not even as big as one of its branches, only as tall as a person, with pink flower buds all over the branches.
Xuanzhi's pupils reflected the crimson light of peach blossoms, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, the peach blossom tree was still there.
She quickly walked a few steps into the yard, and glanced at the entire peach tree.Large clusters of pink and tender peach blossoms clustered on the branches, under the clusters of tender green leaves, reddish-brown branches, although thin and short, like malnutrition, but with fresh vitality.
It is different from the peach tree stumps I saw along the way.
Xuanzhi was puzzled in his heart, Channu said that all the peach blossoms in Duxu Mountain withered overnight, why is there still a flowering tree here?
She stretched out her hand to touch the peach blossom on the branch, but when her fingertips were about to touch it, she was pinned to her wrist by the slanted fingers, unable to move.
As soon as Xuanzhi raised his eyes, he saw the red pupils of His Majesty the Ghost Emperor under the shade of peach blossoms.
Shen Tutao pulled her away from under the peach tree and said, "Don't touch it."
"Oh." Xuanzhi scoffed in her heart, as if she had never seen a peach blossom before, she broke free from the shackles of Shentu peach, and said curiously, "The peach blossoms on the mountain are all gone, why are the peach blossoms here, Your Majesty, still blooming?" ?”
Shen Tutao didn't answer, but said: "From now on, you will come here every nine days to make me angry until this peach tree bears fruit."
"Why?" Xuanzhi looked puzzled, looking at him, then at Peach Tree, then at him.
Shen Tutao, this name——
Xuanzhi: "!!!!"
Counting on her fingers, it was exactly nine days from the last time she fell into the water and crossed him with one breath, to the day he "married" her.
So, His Majesty the Ghost Emperor, who is so frightening, is actually a mahogany spirit?There have been no flowers blooming on Duxu Mountain for tens of thousands of years, because she made Shentu Taodu angry by accident, so His Majesty the Ghost Emperor bloomed?
Not only has it blossomed, but now he wants fruit!
Xuan Zhi glanced at his stomach in shock, so what... For plants, this should be regarded as reproduction. The meaning of Shen Tutao, if translated into adult language, wouldn't it be to let her assist in the production?
No wonder His Majesty doesn't care if she will have children, it turns out that he can have children by himself!
This routine made her suddenly think of the small advertisement of "beautiful rich woman who spends a lot of money to seek a child".
Xuanzhi took a peek at Shen Tutao's overly pretty face, and automatically corrected it in her mind: pretty ghost emperor, seeking a child online.
The beautiful rich woman borrowed her temper, and the handsome ghost emperor borrowed her anger.If he really bears fruit, is the fruit related to her by blood?Will she be the child's mother... Ah bah, the child's father?
Her eyes were so weird, Shen Tutao frowned, and didn't waste his time asking what she was thinking, but directly raised his hand, quickly grabbed her chin, pulled a peach blossom from the branch with the other hand and stuffed it into it. She put her mouth in her mouth and closed it tightly again.
The peach blossoms enter the entrance, but there is no chill like before.
Shen Tutao's movements were done in one go, crisp and neat, so fast that Xuan Zhi had no time to clear up the rebellious thoughts in his mind.
Xuan Zhi: "..." Dog, can you move faster?
