The Nine Emperors

Chapter 781 The Emperor and the Nine Emperors

Qin Mu pressed the teleportation rune and looked into the depths of the sea of ​​blood. He saw an abyss dividing the sea of ​​blood. A woman dressed in emerald green rose slowly from the sea of ​​blood, and the blood seas on both sides closed behind her.

She was wearing a green dress embroidered with various leaves, and her hair was tied up with dead branches like deer antlers. There was a halo behind her head, and in the halo there was a tender green sprout, like a seed that had just emerged from the moist soil and grown two tender green petals.

"elder sister."

The teleportation array around Qin Mu moved slowly, but he did not activate it. He smiled and said, "What's your name, sister? What does Mother Earth Yuanjun want me to do?"

The woman in the green dress came in front of him, stopped, and said, "My name is Gongsun Yan, and I am the maid of Earth Mother Yuanjun. Earth Mother Yuanjun asked me to invite you over, but did not explain the reason. Please come in, my dear guest."

Qin Mu jumped down from the dragon unicorn's head, signaled Yu Tianzun to stay on the water unicorn's back and not get off, and said with a smile: "Sister Yan, your skirt is so beautiful."

Gongsun Yan said happily, "Really? This dress was made with great effort. It took a lot of hard work."

Qin Mu followed her and walked forward, saying, "I have heard of Earth Mother Yuanjun for a long time, but I have never seen her. Sister Yan, how did Earth Mother know me?"

Gongsun Yan led them through the sea of ​​blood and said, "I don't know about this. Maybe when Niangniang Tianyin came to visit Dimu not long ago, she mentioned you. Niangniang Tianyin was assassinated in the late Longhan era, and Dimu was also very uneasy because of this incident. However, Niangniang Tianyin came back to life and took the initiative to look for Dimu. I was guarding outside the palace at that time, so I couldn't go in and listen to what they talked about."

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

After Goddess Tianyin was resurrected, she was indeed away from the Tianyin Realm for a period of time. Qin Mu once went to the Tianyin Realm to look for her. The magical beings in the Tianyin Realm said that she went out to visit old friends, which presumably meant to visit the Earth Mother Yuanjun.

"Mrs. Tianyin must have mentioned to the Earth Mother that I was the one who resurrected her. This time she ordered Gongsun Yan to welcome me. She must have some ulterior motive."

Qin Mu thought of this and said with a smile: "Sister Yan, I saw many gods and demons rushing here along the way, and many demigods were also rushing here. The road is so dangerous. What's going on?"

Gongsun Yan led them to the other side of the Blood Sea and landed on the shore. However, she did not go to Yujing City, but went around it and said, "The forces in the Earth Mother's Realm are complicated. This time the Realm reappeared, many forces are ready to take advantage of the situation. These gods and demons were originally the many gods under the command of the Earth Mother. They have mixed in and are plotting something bad. The Earth Mother is also very angry. As for those demigods, they were not called by the Earth Mother, but someone called them in the name of the Earth Mother."

Qin Mu's heart skipped a beat and he said in a lost voice, "Someone used the name of Mother Earth to call the demigod over?"

Shui Qilin was also startled and said hurriedly, "Impossible! After I woke up, I clearly felt that it was Earth Mother Yuanjun who called us here! She is the world master of the Yuanjie, and she called us. That kind of feeling can't be wrong! Brother Long Qilin, did you feel the call of the Earth Mother?"

Long Qilin said: "I felt it. But I was plowing the field at the time and ignored it."

Qin Mu pondered, "Since it wasn't Earth Mother Yuanjun who called the demigods, then who could have used the name of Earth Mother to get the demigods of the Metaverse to come? How could that person call the demigods of the Metaverse? It shouldn't be easy to make all the demigods hear that person's call and not be able to tell whether it's real or fake, right?"

Gongsun Yan shook her head and said, "This is beyond my knowledge. Ever since the Earth Mother passed away, I have been staying in the underground palace quietly waiting for the day when she will revive. I don't know much about what is happening outside."

Yujing City is extremely large and has a vast territory. Lingxiao Palace is located in Yujing City. Waves of terrifying fluctuations are coming from there. From time to time, powerful magical powers burst out, expanding outward with Lingxiao Palace as the center.

Qin Mu looked over there and thought, "The person who pretends to be the Earth Mother should be in the Lingxiao Palace, but I don't know who it is. Who is so bold as to pretend to be the Earth Mother and use the demigod for his own purposes? I wonder if Tianshi Zixi will be in danger if he goes there?"

He then shook his head. Although the scholar's strength was not the highest among the four great heavenly masters, her overall combat power was the highest. Even the martial arts heavenly master had suffered several losses at her hands, so he was convinced that she could be ranked ahead of him.

Master Wu Dou is at the level of Emperor Throne, yet he admits that he is not as good as her, so Master Zi Xi won't be in any danger.

They walked around for a long time and came to a small mound.

There is a dilapidated temple on the small mound, and there are a few words on a plaque stuck in the soil.

Qin Mu pulled the plaque out of the ground and brushed off the dust. The text on it was extremely ancient.

He looked at Yu Tianzun, and Yu Tianzun said, "Brother, it is written on it that the words 'Earth Mother Yuanjun Temple' are written on it."

Gongsun Yan walked into the dilapidated temple and urged, "Come quickly!"

Qin Mu hesitated for a moment, then put the plaque into his Taotie bag, thinking, "Keep it for now, maybe it will be useful."

They walked into the temple. The temple was not big, but it was clean. It was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly. There were also several side rooms with closed doors.

"Is that where my sister lives?" Qin Mu asked.

Gongsun Yan nodded and said, "I usually live here. There are a few acres of land behind the temple where I grow vegetables and fruits. The fruits I grow are delicious, but unfortunately we came in a hurry and didn't have time to let you taste them. After we meet the Earth Mother, I will pick some for you."

Qin Mu expressed his gratitude.

This woman was a bit naive and simple-minded, and didn't have many scheming thoughts, which made him feel that she was particularly easy to get along with.

Gongsun Yan came to the main hall in the temple. Qin Mu looked up and saw a statue of a female deity in front of him. The statue had a full forehead, a square chin, and a smile on her lips.

Behind the statue is an ancient bronze tree, under which the statue stands.

Gongsun Yan bowed to the statue, and suddenly the ground of the temple cracked, revealing a road deep underground. A faint light could be seen in the darkness.

Qin Mu looked at the seal on the ground and thought, "This seal is a bit rough."

Gongsun Yan laughed and said, "You are so confused. What's so interesting about the ground? Let's go down!"

Qin Mu followed her, and Long Qilin hurriedly came behind Qin Mu, inseparable, looking around nervously. Shui Qilin was bold, carrying Yu Tianzun on his back and walking steadily.

Qin Mu felt that there was no step under his feet. When he looked down, he saw an extremely thick tree root.

The tree roots were thicker than the road from Yankang to the West, and were covered with moss. They walked on the tree roots. With every step they took, a footprint would light up on the soft moss, like a fluorescent light. After they had walked more than ten steps, the footprints behind them gradually dimmed.

The dragon unicorn and water unicorn were very surprised. They jumped around on the tree roots, leaving a trail of hoof marks.

Yu Tianzun also jumped down and was having a lot of fun playing with them. Suddenly, he slipped and fell from the tree roots, letting out a shrill scream.

Qin Mu shook his head, and a strand of hair swelled in the wind and rolled downwards, wrapping him tightly and pulling him up.

After Yu Tianzun calmed down from the shock, he became much more obedient.

The tree roots extended in all directions, and the underground did not seem like the underground, but instead seemed like an extremely vast space. However, it was dark all around, and Qin Mu could not see the layout here clearly.

He followed Gongsun Yan all the way deep underground. When the tree roots reached the edge of the underground space, he saw the stone walls made of ancient marble with very ancient textures.

But as he went deeper, he was stunned by the height of the stone wall.

They went from one tree root to another, but still did not reach the bottom.

Suddenly, Long Qilin screamed and hid behind Qin Mu, trembling.

Qin Mu looked and saw many extremely ancient tree roots interlaced and tied into a knot not far away.

And in the center of the knot, a huge black sarcophagus lay there quietly, and a terrifying divine power could be faintly heard from within the sarcophagus.

In front of the sarcophagus, there are six kinds of stone statues, namely, Qilin, lion, camel, horse, white elephant and Xiezhi, in pairs. Twelve stone statues stand on the roots of a tree in front of the sarcophagus.

"What are the specifications of the imperial mausoleum?"

Qin Mu's heart was slightly shaken: "Could it be that the person in this stone coffin is the Earth Mother Yuanjun?"

The black stone coffin was sixteen zhang high, eight zhang wide, and forty-nine zhang long. It was obvious that the person lying in the coffin must be extremely tall and strong!

"That is the former emperor's sarcophagus, and the one inside is the first former emperor."

Gongsun Yan bowed respectfully to the sarcophagus and whispered, "The First Emperor has a bad temper. Let's not disturb him and walk over quietly."

Long Qilin was horrified. He tucked up his thick dragon tail and tiptoed forward, muttering, "If he has a bad temper, can he jump out of the coffin..."

As they passed by the sarcophagus, the stone statues suddenly turned their heads, staring at them with serious and ferocious faces, moving with their figures. When they passed by, the stone statues slowly turned their heads, still looking at each other.

They walked some distance further and saw another huge sarcophagus entangled by tree roots, hanging in a place where it was neither sky nor ground.

There are also twelve stone statues in front of the sarcophagus. These statues all have bird heads and human bodies, with wings behind their backs, and stand on one foot. Some of the bird heads are Vermilion Birds, some are phoenix heads, and some have dragon head beaks. Some of the bird heads have different numbers of heads.

"This is the tomb of the second emperor."

Gongsun Yan whispered, "You have a bad temper, speak softly."

The bird-headed stone statues stared at them. Qin Mu, Yu Tianzun, Long Qilin and Shui Qilin tiptoed over under their gaze.

Then they saw a third black sarcophagus and two rows of stone statues.

Qin Mu couldn't help but ask: "Sister Yan, how many emperors were there in the Emperor's era?"

"Fourteen."

Gongsun Yan lowered her voice and said, "Nine of them are buried here. The other emperors died in battle outside and their bodies could not be collected. Their bodies were taken away and used to refine treasures."

Qin Mu looked strange. After a moment, he asked tentatively, "Do all these emperors have bad tempers?"

"Um."

Gongsun Yan nodded: "It's okay if he has a bad temper, but those tomb-guarding beasts also have bad tempers. Every time I pass by here, they look at me like a thief."

Qin Mu had no choice but to continue walking forward on tiptoe. Finally, they passed by nine black coffins. The tombs of several former emperors were chosen here. The coffins were entangled by tree roots. It was unknown whether this was a custom from the former emperor's time.

"Aren't gods immortal? Why did these emperors fall and die?" Qin Mu asked.

“He was beaten to death.”

Gongsun Yan whispered, "Lower your voice, they will hear you. If they hear you, they will jump out and beat you up! Their souls have been snatched back from the underworld by the Earth Mother and are locked in coffins."

Qin Mu was horrified and lowered his voice to ask: "Who can kill the emperors of all dynasties?"

"The Earth Mother was beaten to death, let alone the emperors?"

Gongsun Yan said, "The previous emperor's era was very chaotic... We have arrived at the palace of the Earth Mother Yuanjun!"

There was a dazzling light ahead. A palace was supported in the air by roots that stretched in all directions. The light was coming from that palace.

It was not until they arrived in front of the palace that they realized how huge and magnificent it was. The palace's steles and pillars were carved with stone dragons, and there were some stone statues of bird-headed gods. There were also various strange-shaped stone statues of mythical beasts on the ridges of the palace. There was also a water dragon sculpture above the door and phoenix reliefs on the window lattices.

Qin Mu followed Gongsun Yan to the front of the hall, and suddenly saw the stone dragons slowly rotating and wriggling. Then the surface of the stone turned into flesh and blood, and suddenly a huge dragon head hung in front of them!

It was an old dragon, with dim eyes and fluttering beard, and it said in a muffled voice: "I smell a stranger."

"They are the distinguished guests of Mother Earth."

Gongsun Yan said quickly, "Please, Dragon King, make way."

Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound from the window frame, and a phoenix flew out from the window frame and landed in front of Qin Mu and the others. It was surrounded by flames and was several feet tall. It folded its wings and stared at Qin Mu and the others seriously, saying, "Yuan Jun's distinguished guest? Could it be a spy of the old Emperor of Heaven?"

At this time, an obscure spiritual fluctuation came from the palace: "He is invited by this palace... Hey, Yu Tianzun!"

The fluctuation of his spiritual consciousness was inexplicably surprising, as if he had seen a ghost.

Yu Tianzun was at a loss.
