Chapter 143: The Queen's Boudoir
In the sky, a man and a bird flew like flowing light, flying towards the tall and majestic Mount Yambu in the center.
Li Daoxuan looked around. There was no moon in the Qingming Realm, but there was a hazy aurora in the sky, like a sea of stars floating in the sky.
The closer you get to Mount Yamabuchi, the brighter the aurora becomes, as if you are in the Milky Way, the scenery is magnificent and beautiful.
The mountains and waters below are quiet and peaceful, and you can vaguely see many people working .
Those are the souls of the dead living in the Qingming Realm.
After the soul enters the Qingming Realm, it cannot be reincarnated immediately, but must first go to the Yama Palace to count the results of its karma.
If one does more good deeds, he will be born into a wealthy family in his next life.
If the consequences are mostly bad, one will be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell and suffer corresponding torture.
But there is one exception, that is, a person who should not have died and whose life span has not yet ended, dies unexpectedly and his soul goes to the underworld.
For such a person, if his body in the world of the living has already decayed, he will never be able to return to the world of the living. He will have to stay in the ghost town and live and work like people in the world of the living until he finishes his life.
"Huh?"
Li Daoxuan's eyes focused, and the third eye between his eyebrows opened. He immediately saw that there were many ghost soldiers and ghost messengers around Mount Yamafu. They were on high alert, constantly patrolling back and forth with solemn expressions on their faces.
The entire Qingming Realm seemed to have entered a state of alert all of a sudden, and all ghosts passing by, even the ghost messengers, had to be interrogated and examined.
"Fairy Bird, what's going on? I remember it wasn't so strict the last time I came here."
Fairy Que snorted and said, "It's still the Empty-Bellied Ghost King and the Black Mountain Old Demon. Last time, the Empty-Bellied Ghost King was beaten up by the Queen, so he teamed up with the Black Mountain Old Demon to provoke us and try to bully our Qingming Realm!"
Li Daoxuan was shocked . The Empty-Dull Ghost King and the Black Mountain Old Demon joined forces to attack the Qingming Realm?
He had heard from his master that the Hollow-Bellied Ghost King and the Black Mountain Old Demon were among the strongest in the world, and each of them could challenge the immortals and Buddhas.
"How is the queen? Nothing will happen to her, right?"
Li Daoxuan asked hurriedly, his voice sounding anxious and worried.
He was actually a little ashamed. As an envoy of Qingming, he was completely unaware of such a major event.
The Queen was really good to him. When the Qingming Realm encountered such a big crisis, she didn't tell him at all. Instead, she continued to provide him with various kinds of help.
The bird fairy raised her beak and said proudly, "How could the queen be in trouble? The queen is so powerful. She fought two people alone and drove them all away!"
Li Daoxuan secretly praised him, saying that he was worthy of being his pillar of strength!
He could already imagine the heroic figure of the Empress, standing on the lotus platform, radiating boundless divine radiance, wielding her delicate jade hands to perform magical powers, and defeating the arrogant Demon King and Ghost King, forcing them to flee in panic...
After knowing that the queen was fine, Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He rolled his eyes and began to pay attention to Fairy Que.
"Fairy Que, do you still have the same spiritual feathers as last time?"
Li Daoxuan's voice sounds like that of a weird uncle seducing a little girl.
Fairy Que quickly shook her head and said, "No more, not a single one is left!"
Li Daoxuan took out a black jar from the Three Realms Gourd and said with a smile, "One hundred bugs."
Ever since he learned last time that the Sparrow Fairy likes to eat insects and witnessed the power of the Sparrow Fairy's spiritual feathers, Li Daoxuan had been prepared and dug up many small insects.
Gulp!
Because of her huge size, Li Daoxuan clearly heard the sound of her swallowing saliva.
"Then...I'll give you another one ?"
"One?"
Li Daoxuan smiled and shook his head, saying: "I want ten!"
The flying skylark trembled and almost fell. The bird fairy raised her head, her eyes full of anger, and said: "Li Daoxuan, you wish--"
Li Daoxuan waved his hand, and ten black jars appeared on her back. He didn't say anything, but just looked at her with a smile.
After a moment.
Li Daoxuan accepted the ten spiritual feathers with satisfaction.
These feathers can be transformed into the avatar of the Sparrow Fairy, and can use the magical power of controlling the heaven and earth, which is considered a very good combat power.
At this time, the two of them also arrived at Mount Yamafu. The Que Fairy landed on the ground. After Li Daoxuan went down, she flapped her wings and turned into a little fairy in a white dress.
She had bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, but there was a hint of resentment in her big, watery eyes.
Li Daoxuan said: "Fairy Que, I still have a jar--"
The fairy bird shook her head like a rattle.
"It's gone, it's gone. You've plucked out all the hair there. There's not a single hair left!"
Li Daoxuan's mouth twitched. Why did this sound a bit strange?
"Fairy Bird, I want to say that I have another jar of insects that I am going to give to you for free. Think of it as buy ten get one free. Happy cooperation."
Fairy Que blinked, and then quickly put the jar into her storage magic weapon. The resentment in her eyes immediately disappeared. She looked at Li Daoxuan happily and said, "You are such a good person!"
"I'll give it back to you next time the hair grows back!"
Li Daoxuan coughed and said, "Okay, thank you very much, Fairy Que."
He also knew that spiritual feathers were not ordinary feathers, but the essence of feathers, which was equivalent to the essence and blood of a person's heart. If too much of it was lost, it would affect the foundation.
Naturally, he would stop while he was ahead and work on it slowly in the future.
Just then, an old voice sounded.
"What are you talking about? Xiao Que'er, why don't you let him go see the queen!"
Li Daoxuan was startled and found that an old woman had appeared beside him. She was the one who boiled the river with a cup of water.
Li Daoxuan quickly bowed and said, "Meet Grandma!"
Fairy Que said that her mother-in-law had a very high status in the Qingming Realm, and was also the first person to follow the Empress, and her cultivation was unfathomable.
The low-end version of Mengpo soup in the Qingming Realm was prepared by her.
The mother-in-law nodded to Li Daoxuan and said, "Let's go. Don't keep the queen waiting for too long."
The bird fairy stuck out her tongue, then turned into a little skylark and flew to some corner to enjoy the delicious food.
Li Daoxuan followed his mother-in-law into Mount Yamafu, but to his surprise, his mother-in-law did not take him to the Yamafu Palace, but to a sleeping palace.
"Hidden Moon Pavilion..."
Li Daoxuan looked at the words on the plaque and felt that they were shining brightly and lofty like the moon. The elegant and beautiful handwriting was like the ink of Huishan Mountain and the clouds of Wushan Mountain.
Li Daoxuan didn't expect that the Empress also had such high attainments in calligraphy.
When I opened the door, a fragrant breeze blew in, like the scent of orchids in a valley, fresh and elegant, neither strong nor weak, just right.
Stepping on the soft white carpet, Li Daoxuan observed the Empress' bedroom.
To be honest, this was the first time he had entered a woman's boudoir in his two lifetimes, so he couldn't help being a little curious.
The interior decoration was not luxurious, but quiet and elegant, spotless, with all kinds of musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as an exquisite and beautiful screen with lush mountains painted on it.
Li Daoxuan felt that this place did not look like the bedroom of a god, but rather like the boudoir of a talented woman from the south of the Yangtze River.
The mother-in-law took him around the screen and came to an exquisite wooden door. Through the window paper, they could see a phoenix bed inside, heavy pearl curtains, and dim lights.
The mother-in-law looked at him deeply and said, "Li Daoxuan, you need to ensure that everything that happens next cannot be leaked out no matter what!"
