The scars on my chest and arms are clearly visible, and my face is even more miserable. Even I despise myself.
After Xuan Lei recovered from his injury, he went to the human world to see if he could help me find some healing medicine.
I wrapped myself up tightly every day, not wanting to see anyone. No one else was allowed in the temple except Lu'er, and Taihao would look outside my temple for a while after finishing his work every day.
I left and asked Luer if I needed anything else and immediately sent someone to deliver the message.
I have nothing to do except meditate and practice. My appearance has been ruined, so I naturally don’t care about other things. Now I just want revenge. I want to kill Taihao and his old immortal.
His mother, and the snake-like Nuwa Shi Xi.
All the pain in my body was caused by them, as well as my innocent child. I want revenge, I want revenge!
Suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out from my mouth. I was so distracted while meditating that I almost went crazy.
Luer hurriedly ran over and wiped the blood from my mouth.
"My dear, why are you doing this? Why are you torturing yourself like this? Even if you want to reach the ultimate level of skill quickly, you can't practice day and night like this. You will die if you don't. If you don't, I have to find the Emperor of Heaven!"
I quickly took Luer's hand,
"Don't go!"
Luer turned around and looked at me,
"I can't control that much anymore. Is your life at stake?" Lu'er pulled my hand away and trotted out of the Spring Temple.
Because I practiced too quickly, I was sweating all over my body, and even standing up found it difficult.
I sat cross-legged on the ground, stood up slowly with my hands on the ground, then found a seat and sat down.
When I picked up the teacup on the table and was about to drink it, Luer came over with Taihao. I hurriedly wrapped my scarf around it because I didn’t want Taihao to see me in such an embarrassed state, even though I hated him to the core.
I don't want him to see my ugly face either.
I put down the teacup and glanced at Taihao coldly,
"What are you doing here?"
Taihao didn't reply to my words. He walked up to me, took my wrist, and felt my pulse. I quickly retracted my hand because my hands and wrists were all covered in pimples left by the burns.
scar.
Taihao raised his head, I turned my head to one side, and he moved it to my eyes again. I turned my head to the other side, and he hurriedly moved to the other side.
"What are you going to do? Do you want to take a good look at how ugly I look now?" I looked at Taihao and replied coldly.
"No, Qing'er, why are you so eager to practice? This will be harmful to your body and will only shorten your life. What is it that makes you so eager for success?"
I replied with a chuckle,
"Why do you think I'm so impatient?"
"No matter why, I don't allow you to continue practicing like this. You will die if you do so. There should be a method to practice. You are bent on reaching the limit and don't know how to regulate it. Now your veins are in disarray. I'm afraid if you continue like this
The blood in your body will flow backwards and your heart will burst. Are you really going to die?"
Unexpectedly, my eager cultivation actually harmed myself. Maybe my cultivation method was not right, but Xuan Lei's skill has improved a lot, and I have been in Heaven for so long, and it's not like I haven't made any progress at all.
But compared to Xuan Lei, that's really far behind.
Taihao squatted in front of me, put his hand on the back of my hand,
"Don't worry, Qing'er, I will definitely find a medicine to cure you. Even if the cure is not good, I will not dislike you."
I took out my hand and couldn't help but sneer,
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter if you dislike me, or if you don't dislike me, you can't even heal ordinary scars caused by charcoal fire. I think you did it on purpose, right?"
"this......"
Unexpectedly, Lu'er, who usually doesn't talk much, actually said from the side,
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Mother didn't want you to come out alive. How could the charcoal fire be ordinary fire? I heard the slaves in the Palace of Prayer for Longevity said that it was forged by heavenly fire and was specially prepared for you. You
Do you know how much power His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven used to save you? Just to save you, he and the Emperor's mother and son have already turned against each other. Lu'er saw His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven risking his life to heal you. There are many gods in the heavens with amazing medical skills.
He is not willing to use it at all, but he is afraid that the Emperor Mother is harming you. This is the first time Lu'er has seen such an Emperor of Heaven. In Lu'er's eyes, the Emperor of Heaven is the supreme one. He spans the world and kills countless monsters, but he is the only one.
But she takes great care of you. Lu'er was almost moved to tears, so why is it that my dear, your heart is iron-clad?"
"Lu'er, shut up..." Taihao shouted.
It seems that this Lu'er is somewhat interested in Taihao, but what she said and what Taihao did almost moved me. If it weren't for the previous hatred between him and me, I wouldn't have gone through so many hardships.
If so, I'm afraid that the innocent and pitiful me before would really be moved to tears, but the fact is the fact. I will never forgive a person who killed his own child with his own hands. Even if he did a lot of things to make up for it, then
The child cannot come back.
I looked at Luer and Taihao,
"You guys should go out first, I want to rest alone for a while."
After Taihao and Luer left the door, I walked back to the dormitory alone.
It seems that my eagerness to practice the exercises is not feasible. Not only will it not avenge me, but it may even cost me my own life in the end. I should think of other ways. I can't go on like this.
, Taihao's mother and Nuwa's Xi see me as a thorn in their side. As long as I am a little better, there is no guarantee that one day they will attack me again. I should take revenge as soon as possible.
However, I should start with Taihao, because she has the greatest power and is the one who is willing to help me.
"Qing'er, I'm back!" It was Xuan Lei's voice. Could it be that he had found some medicine to heal me from the human world?
Although tens of thousands of years later, I learned the art of face-changing from Jiu Gu, but it could only replace the skin of a living person on my own body, and that skin was only temporarily unfeasible.
I now despise myself for being ugly, let alone others. If I use my current ugly appearance to ask Taihao to do things for me, the result will be obvious and it is unrealistic.
Xuan Lei trotted into my bedroom, I looked at him happily,
"How about you found the medicine to cure me?"
Xuan Lei shook his head,
"I have searched both the human world and the bird tribe. There are still treatments for ordinary fire burns. However, before I left, Lu'er told me that the scars on your body and face were caused by heavenly fire.
So, so I still haven’t found it.”
After listening to Xuan Lei's words, my heart suddenly went cold, but what can I do? Maybe this is Qing'er's fate, and I should bear this, but as Liu Jinse, I love to love.
It's so profound, but when I faced this and the face of Taihao, I couldn't fall in love. Instead, I was filled with hatred. Maybe it's because I came here through Qing'er's body.
Qing'er's thoughts completely took over, and my mind was always thinking about how to take revenge.
Xuan Lei walked up to me, took my scarred hand and said,
"Qing'er, am I useless? I can't do this well?"
I shook my head,
"It's not your fault. I should have gone through this. No one can change this."
"Empress......"
It was Lu'er who ran in. She had helped Taihao speak before, and I was still angry. Seeing her running in with joy on her face, I asked coldly,
"What's the matter?"
"Empress, just after His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven and I left the Spring Temple together, His Majesty suddenly remembered something that happened when he was a child."
I glanced at Luer with a sneer,
"Ha! Are you in a good mood? It seems that you are very excited to hear this story."
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. Your Majesty said that when he was a child, his mother-in-law, the third-generation imperial concubine, once told him a story about a soul master who created souls in the South China Sea. After these souls were created, they
Everyone will follow a narrow tunnel in Guixu of the South China Sea to the Netherworld. When they arrive at the entrance of the Netherworld, there is a huge turtle there. It is guarding next to a huge waterwheel, waiting for the souls of people to pass by.
When the time comes, the soul is led to the waterwheel. As the waterwheel turns, the soul is taken into the pool, and in this pool are the skins of various people, and a skin can have many forms, from a baby to a baby.
Until old age, this soul will be wrapped in this skin. Because the water in the pool is deep and bitingly cold, some souls only get the upper skin. However, these skins are said to be either rough or sallow and dull. Only those
Only those who swim to the bottom of the Tan and get the skin will be born with smooth skin and smooth flesh after reincarnation."
These words of Luer attracted me, and Xuan Lei on the side also listened in rapt attention.
Xuan Lei looked at Luer and asked,
"Keep talking..."
Luer smiled,
"I know what you must want to hear. After that, those souls put on their skins and returned to the waterwheel. This time the waterwheel turned and turned, bringing them to the world, and they became human beings again."
Xuan Lei looked at Luer and asked again,
"If this story is true, it means that after going to the underworld to find the turtle guarding the waterwheel, and finding a suitable skin, the scars on Qing'er's body can be healed without medicine?"
Lu'er nodded happily towards Xuan Lei,
"Well, yes, your scar will heal without any medicine."
Xuan Lei happily pulled Lu Er's arm and the two of them almost hugged each other.
"That's great, great!"
Luer kept nodding her head,
"Yes, it's a great joy. The queen will regain her appearance."
Seeing the two of them excited, I said without smiling at all,
"Are you too happy too early? I have never heard of any big turtles in the Netherworld, let alone any pools of water in the Netherworld. This is just a story, how can it be taken seriously?"
Luer's smile froze on her face,
"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven said that he will take your Majesty to the underworld early tomorrow morning to find it for your Majesty. No matter it is true or false, you must give it a try. Your Majesty also said that all stories have their origins like running water. Since some people say so
, then it must have something to do with it.”
I know this country of Guixu. Isn't Guixu in the South China Sea the place where Shen Yu and Shen Yi stay? There is indeed such a place, and I have never used any turtles, water pools and waterwheels in the Netherworld, but
It's hard to say, the Netherworld I went to was tens of thousands of years later, maybe the Netherworld now is really what Lu'er said.
It seems that a trip to this Netherworld is necessary.
"Lu'er, has your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven ever said who should go with you to the Netherworld?"
"Replying to your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven said that he was the one who took you to the underworld, and there was no one else."
Xuan Lei seemed a little worried and replied,
"I'm not worried about just the two of them."
Luer shook her head,
"I don't know. That's what His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven said. This is how I delivered the message when I came back. His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven also said to ask the Queen to prepare and leave early tomorrow morning."
I nodded towards Luer,
"Well, I understand."
"Then Lu'er has resigned. I will report back to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven and say that the empress agrees to go to the Netherworld with him tomorrow!"
Xuan Lei hurriedly called out to Lu'er,
"Hey, wait a minute and I'll go with you!"
It seemed that Xuan Lei also wanted to go to the Netherworld, so I could only helplessly shake my head.
Early the next morning, I didn't meditate. I just waited for Taihao to come over so that we could go to the Netherworld together. As for Xuan Lei and Luer going to talk to Taihao yesterday, I don't know what they decided.
The Netherworld is an extremely cold place, so I put on many layers of clothes so that I wouldn't be too cold if I really had to enter a pool.
I saw Taihao walking into the Spring Temple, but now I don't know how to welcome him. After all, I can't forget that he is my enemy.
At this time, Xuan Lei also walked out of his bedroom. Unexpectedly, this guy had prepared everything. Maybe he had woken up long ago.
Taihao glanced at Xuan Lei,
"Do you really want to come along?"
Xuan Lei nodded,
"Um!"
"Then you will lead me to do it?" Taihao said again.
Listening to what the two of them said, it seemed like they were hiding something from me. I turned my head to Xuan Lei,
"What are you talking about...?"
Xuan Lei slapped me on the back of my spine, and I was knocked unconscious by Xuan Lei without any precautions.
Then Xuan Lei continued to pull out my soul from the top of my head, and I landed on Xuan Lei's palm, looking at Xuan Lei with blurred eyes,
"What did you do to me?"
Xuan Lei scratched his head,
"Bird Emperor, I, Xuan Lei, will always stand by your side. This is a last resort. You have practiced too hastily and your body has been seriously damaged. It is not suitable to take your body to the Netherworld. What's more, if you really encounter that reincarnation,
As for the waterwheel, if you go there with this body, if the turtle notices it, you will not be allowed to enter the waterwheel. You will be wronged in the hands of my Xuan Lei, and the other matters will be left to Taihao and me.
