The Exiled Baby (Second Update!)
Chapter 561: The Exiled Baby (Second Update!)
State Master Yankang frowned and looked at the battlefield. There were many ghost lights on the battlefield. Those were ghost messengers holding lanterns. Ships were carrying the souls of the dead in the battle, sailing to Youdu.
If this old ghost messenger is not allowed to take Qin Mu away, and a scene breaks out, with so many ghost messengers, I'm afraid they will turn Taihuangtian into a wasteland!
He looked at Qin Mu, hesitating. Qin Mu smiled and said, "I have been to Nether City twice. The first time I was harmed by the Demon King Dutian, and my soul fell into Nether City..."
"It was me who saved you and sent you back to the world of the living." said the old man behind the lantern.
Qin Mu was startled and looked at the old man behind the lantern, but still could not see his face.
"The second time, I fell into Youdu with Dazun, Long Pang, Baifu Brothers and others, and I survived."
Qin Mu calmed himself down, walked out of the building ship, came to the small boat, waved to everyone, and said with a gentle smile: "Youdu is not as dangerous as you think. I am going there to tell the cause and effect of the 48,000 undead souls, and I will be back after I finish."
Long Qilin opened his mouth to speak, but after thinking for a while, he held back his words, thinking: "The leader is confused. Where in Nether City is not dangerous? There are strange monsters everywhere, and there is also the terrible demon Zhenxingjun who is taking my life... But my current position is precarious. I am outdone by Brother Tiger. I'd better not speak, otherwise the leader will take the opportunity to get angry, and I won't be able to get any elixirs in the future."
The Black Tiger God took a step forward and was about to speak, but Imperial Master Yan Kang raised his hand to stop him, shook his head, and said, "Master, do you want to leave your body behind?"
Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, and he immediately understood what he meant. The national teacher planned to leave his body behind. If Qin Mu could not come back, he would use the soul-drawing technique to forcibly take back his soul.
"There is no need to worry, Imperial Master."
Qin Mu took off the young dragon hanging from his ear, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "It is safer to carry the body. I will borrow this little dragon again when I come back from Youdu."
Imperial Master Yankang was slightly startled, not understanding what he meant. The boat slowly sailed away and disappeared into the darkness, while the young dragon flew back to the boat, ran to Qin Yu, and wrapped itself around his body.
"Why didn't the leader leave his body behind?"
Imperial Master Yankang was puzzled and whispered, "If several gods cast the spell of soul-pulling at the same time, it should be possible to summon his soul back from the underworld..."
Qin Mu stood on the small boat and looked around. He saw ships full of ghosts appearing in the darkness and sailing towards the depths of Youdu. The lights on these ships were very dim, and from a distance they looked like moving lanterns in the pure black night sky.
The King of Hell once told him that he must go to Youdu once if he had the chance. It was for this reason that he rejected the imperial teacher's proposal this time.
The King of Hell was vague about the details, but Qin Mu was still keenly aware that the fact that he was born in Youdu would definitely not be that simple. This time Tu Bo summoned him for questioning, which was also a rare opportunity, and he might be able to find out the secret of his life experience.
The boat was drifting at a very fast speed, but one could not feel the boat moving forward while on board. One could only see the dim and unclear world around them moving away.
Qin Mu's heart was shaken. He boarded the ship from Taihuangtian, and he could see Taihuangtian going away when he looked back.
However, in addition to Taihuangtian, he also saw many other worlds, magnificent worlds, and small boats with lanterns hanging on them sailed out of those worlds in an endless stream.
Looking from afar, the dark skies and dim lights of those worlds made him think about them. He couldn't help but imagine the scenes of those worlds, some magnificent or melancholy stories, and some heroic or passionate people.
"This is actually your fourth time in Youdu."
At the bow, the old man hung the lantern on the bow, turned around and faced Qin Mu, and said slowly: "You were born in Youdu, so this is the fourth time."
Qin Mu became interested and asked, "Senior, I have no memory of my birth. Can you tell me about it?"
"Your birth caused a great stir, which shocked all circles in Nether City. In the end, many giants unanimously decided to exile you."
He looked at the old man's face carefully, but still couldn't see his true appearance.
The old man said slowly: "So you were exiled. I don't know what happened after that."
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "When I was born, I must have been a tiny baby. How could I have caused such a big commotion? Besides, you, the giants of Youdu, exiled a baby. Isn't that too unkind of you?"
“That’s very kind.”
The old man said calmly, "In my opinion, we were very kind to exile you after what you did. After those giants exiled you, they were very happy and celebrated for many days."
"What on earth have I done?"
Qin Mu was even more puzzled: "What can a little baby do?"
The old ghost did not answer. The boat sailed into a world and moved forward in the darkness. After a while, they entered a small world within this world.
Qin Mu looked up and saw the sun, moon, five planets, and the stars in the sky. They were extremely gorgeous and emitted colorful light.
There is also a divine bridge in the sky, and on the bridge stands a spirit in the form of a god.
"This is the divine treasure of a powerful master of the Divine Bridge!"
Qin Mu was surprised: "We have entered the divine hiding place of a powerful person."
The old man took out a booklet, flipped through it, looked at it for a few times, found a name, and said, "Han Zhen, your life span has come to an end. I will come to pick you up in three days and take care of your affairs after your death."
The soul on the bridge looked down with a sad look and said, "I understand. Thank you for your tolerance for three days."
The old ghost nodded, and the boat sailed out of this small world and entered the Netherworld again, continuing to move forward: "As long as people are born, they will sign a contract with Tubo, and their souls will return to the Netherworld when their life span is over. The ghost who notified you to go to the Netherworld to talk about cause and effect also intended to enter your life and death treasure and pass on Tubo's order to you, but was blocked by the treasure on your body, so I had to go to the world of the living to find you in person. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for you."
Qin Mu was even more puzzled and said with a smile: "I am still in the Six Harmonies Realm, and the Life and Death Divine Treasure has not yet been opened. How could the Yincha enter my Life and Death Divine Treasure?"
"It is closed to you, but it is open to the ghost messengers of Youdu. We enter your life and death secret library to communicate, which is like a dream to you."
The old man said, "It's just that the treasure on your body blocks us from entering your dream."
Qin Mu took out the jade pendant and asked, "Is the treasure you mentioned this jade pendant? What is the origin of this jade pendant? What curse is hidden in it?"
The old man hurriedly said, "Wear it well, don't take it off."
Qin Mu had no choice but to put it back.
After a while, the old man suddenly became alert, took out a piece of yellow paper and pasted it on Qin Mu's face, then stood up, took down the lantern on the bow, shone it into the darkness around him, and said in a deep voice, "Which fellow Taoist is lurking nearby?"
Qin Mu poked two holes in the yellow paper on his face, revealing his eyes and looking around. It was dark all around and he couldn't see clearly what was in the darkness.
Suddenly, the light from the lantern shone on a huge and slippery body. The body moved rapidly, and its scales refracted various lights and quickly disappeared.
The old man groaned for a moment and sneered, "He is the person Tu Bo wants to see. Even if you have any ideas, don't do anything rash, otherwise you will be punished!"
There were soft laughs coming from all around the boat, and strange demonic eyes lit up around the boat. Those eyes were very huge, completely surrounding the boat.
"If Tu Bo wants to see him, we won't stop him. After all, we also live in Youdu and make a living under Tu Bo's name. But we also have a master, and we have received orders to find him."
Voices came from all directions, and the laughter was very strange, like a worm crawling into your body, gnawing at your bones while talking: "Tianqi Jun, you are the official of Tianfu Duguan, the lord of Youdu, we should respect you. But you covered his face and didn't let us see his face. We don't know his identity. How can we report back? Take off the yellow talisman, and we will let you take him away!"
The old ghost sneered, and suddenly those eyes closed one by one and disappeared. Only small boats were seen coming, and on the bow of each boat there was an old man holding a lantern, and the light shone in all directions.
In the darkness, many slippery bodies flew away rapidly under the light.
Qin Mu's eyes flickered as he saw the boats coming towards them one after another and colliding with their boats. The paper boats merged with each other and overlapped to become one boat. The old man on the boats also overlapped with the old man, and in the blink of an eye, sixty or seventy paper boats and the old man overlapped and became the same person!
The old man said, "I am not afraid of them now."
Qin Mu asked quickly: "Who was blocking us just now?"
"The gods and demons of heaven stationed in Youdu."
The old man shook his head and said, "A bunch of guys who have taken over the magpie's nest."
Qin Mu seemed to be thinking about something, and the boat sailed forward again. Finally, Qin Mu saw Tu Bo again. Of course, it couldn't be the complete form of Tu Bo, but the Nine-Curved Horn of Tu Bo.
The overlapping worlds make up the Nine-Curved Horns of Tubo. The closer the distance is, the larger the two horns appear. On the enormous landmasses that make up the two horns, countless volcanoes erupt, connecting one continent after another.
The paper boat traveled between the volcanoes on the continent, and Qin Mu saw countless wandering souls struggling to walk in the world of magma.
The boat sailed slowly for who knows how long, passing through countless sections of the Horn of Tube, and finally arrived at a continent. Here there was no thrilling hell world like before, but only a towering palace.
The boat landed in front of a palace with words written on it. Qin Mu looked at it and immediately knew what these words meant: "Tianqi Rensheng Palace."
The old man came into the hall and said, "This is my residence. Your body is too small, so Tu Bo cannot see you directly. In a moment, Tu Bo's clone will come to question you."
Qin Mu waited for a moment and checked the murals in the Tianqi Rensheng Palace. The murals were all painted with myths and legends. Suddenly, magma surged in the center of the hall behind him, and the ground turned into rolling magma. The magma rotated, and a pair of twisted horns rose up and turned into a ten-foot-tall earth god who appeared in front of him.
The old man bowed and took out the book, saying, "Bring it here, Qin Fengqing. All his evil deeds are recorded. Please check it out, Tu Bo."
Qin Mu quickly came forward and saw that the book was terribly thick. He said quickly, "I didn't do the things in this book! I'm only eighteen years old, how could I have done so many bad things?"
The Lava Earth Lord took the book, flipped it open and looked at it. His two flaming eyes shone with divine light, and he said, "Of course, the things in this book were not done by you in the world of the living. They are the good things you did in the netherworld. Is the jade pendant I made for you still there? I feel that the seal of the jade pendant has loosened a little recently."
