Ever since I suspected Empress Su, I have been curious about her true identity. With so many tricks, she cannot be just a little god in a temple of obscenity.
But even though I guessed many times, I never guessed that Empress Su would actually be a Rakshasa!
Rakshasa is an evil ghost in the legend of the underworld. He is cruel and cunning in nature. He later became related to Buddhism for some unknown reason and became the patron saint of Buddhism.
It is said that in ancient times, when the underworld and the Yang world were connected, Rakshasa often came to the world. However, as the Yellow Emperor and Ying Gou descended to the underworld, the Rakshasa shrank into the underworld and never moved again.
I never would have imagined that the true form of Empress Su would actually be a Rakshasa!
"Tell me everything about her!" I looked at the female ghost and said coldly.
"I...I'm not very clear either. I don't know much about the empress's life experience." The female ghost said to me with some fear.
"Tell me as much as you know." I said to her.
"I only know that the ghost of the empress is a Rakshasa. She has been reincarnated in the human world for hundreds of lives. The identity of her last reincarnation was Su Sanniang." The female ghost said slowly.
Listening to her words, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.
It is definitely a big deal for a Rakshasa to be reincarnated in the world for hundreds of lives.
You must know that evil creatures like Rakshasa will definitely bring disasters and turmoil no matter what dynasty they live in.
The female ghost said that Su Niangniang was named Su Sanniang in her most recent life.
Thinking of this name, my heart couldn't help but move, and then I thought of a legendary woman.
According to legend, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebelled, and Hong Xiuquan had a female general named Su Sanniang under his command!
According to legend, Su Sanniang originally had no name. She lived on the streets when she was a child. Later, she married a man named Su and took her husband's surname, so she was called Su Sanniang.
Su Sanniang's husband was originally a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, but later his identity was exposed and he was dragged away and beheaded.
In grief, Su Sanniang and her men defected to Hong Xiuquan, fighting all the way and making many military exploits.
But the strange thing is that after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established its capital in Nanjing, Su Sanniang mysteriously disappeared, and she is never seen again in history.
However, there are many legends that she was killed by Hong Xiuquan.
"Is your mother-in-law the Su Sanniang from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" I asked, looking at the female ghost in front of me.
"If I tell you, Master Yinchai, she is the empress." The old woman replied respectfully.
I took a deep breath and rubbed my forehead.
The soul of Empress Su is a Rakshasa, and she is destined to make a lot of noise every time she reincarnates.
It is common sense that she was reincarnated as Su Sanniang in her previous life.
It's just that I always feel a little awkward in my heart. I really can't mix the silly and cute Xiao Bai with the rebel Su Sanniang.
"Where is Xiaobai now, and what does Su Sanniang want to do?" I shook my head and asked the female ghost again.
"Xiaobai?" After hearing my words, the female ghost was obviously stunned for a moment.
"It's the body left by Empress Su." I explained to her.
"She is in the hands of the queen now." The female ghost answered honestly.
"What on earth is your mother-in-law going to do!" At this time, I was already a little angry. Xiaobai was indeed captured by Su Sanniang.
Although Xiaobai is Su Sanniang's original body, it stands to reason that Su Sanniang should have a closer relationship with her.
But Xiaobai now has her own consciousness and is an independent existence. The most important thing is that Xiaobai is mine, not even Empress Su can touch her!
"If the empress wants to be reborn, of course she has to find her own body." The female ghost said with some confusion.
When I heard her words, my heart sank.
It turns out that Su Sanniang wanted to be reborn. She had fed Xiaobai with her own incense for so many years in order to protect her body and allow herself to be reborn.
If she wants to be reborn, she must take back this body, and then she must swallow Xiaobai, and Xiaobai will disappear completely.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help clenching my fists, this Empress Su deserves to die!
But I still have a question that I can't figure out. Since Xiaobai was left by Empress Su for rebirth, why did she let me take Xiaobai away in the first place? What was her plan?
"In that case, why did Su Sanniang hand over Xiaobai to us in the first place?" I asked the female ghost in confusion.
"After all, the empress has a special identity. Although she has a temple body, she is still noticed by the underworld. The empress has no choice but to let you take her body away and then leave the temple."
After hearing this, I finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the Yin Division had noticed Empress Su.
She is the body of a Rakshasa, and her body has become a zombie. No matter what, if the underworld finds out about her, she will not be able to get rid of it.
That's why she asked us to take Xiaobai away, and then ran away with her ghosts.
Now that the underworld is in chaos, the underworld can no longer take care of her, so Empress Su has started to have ideas again.
"Where is your mother-in-law now?" I looked at the female ghost and asked her.
"Your Majesty is currently at the Chenghuang Temple." The female ghost answered honestly.
This female ghost is considered a smart ghost. She has suffered a lot at my hands and knows the consequences of not answering honestly, so now she answers everything I ask neatly.
"Why are you going to the City God's Temple?" I asked with some confusion.
The female ghost smiled bitterly, and then said: "The queen wants to be reborn, but the incense in her ghost is not enough, so she has to swallow the city god to be reborn."
"What!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help it anymore and stood up.
This Empress Su is so bold that she wants to devour a city god!
The City God is also called the City God. In the religious culture of Chinese history, his status is extremely lofty. Even in modern times, there are City God temples in many places, and in some places the incense is still very prosperous.
I have never been to the Chenghuang Temple in Jishui, but I have heard about it and it is said that the incense is good.
In terms of levels, the level of the City God is definitely above mine. However, since Ksitigarbha took control of the underworld and the Ten Palaces of Yamas rose up, the title of the City God has gradually moved out of the hierarchy of the underworld.
The city gods who remain in the Yang world now are all Yin gods who have no records in the underworld. To put it bluntly, although the incense is flourishing, but the underworld does not recognize it, they are like duckweeds without roots and have no rights. They can only eat some incense to survive.
But even so, a city god is not something that ordinary evildoers can afford to offend.
I didn’t expect that Empress Su would be so bold as to want to devour a city god!
Although I was a little shocked by Su Niangniang's audacity, I still breathed a sigh of relief. Su Niangniang wanted to devour the city god, and she probably wouldn't be able to do it in a short time, so Xiaobai is not in danger yet.
It seems that I have to go to the Chenghuang Temple.
