Jianming Chaos

Neither Zhiming nor Zuo Mu could have imagined that Shen Anshan was called the "Mountain of Evil Ghosts" for this reason.

"First, the water in the pond began to deteriorate, giving rise to monsters such as water ghosts; after that, the plants also began to mutate, and anyone who accidentally ate them turned into walking dead, attacking people who went up the mountain at night and spreading corpse poison. The only thing to be thankful for, It is because all ghosts are afraid of the sun, so it is generally safe to go up the mountain during the day, but you must go down the mountain before dusk, otherwise you will die without a whole body. In addition, due to the influence of the enchantment, those ghosts cannot leave Shenyin Mountain, and they cannot go outside to kill people. People. Therefore, as long as you don't go up the mountain at night, you won't be harmed." The queen said.

"Then what about the Onimu Four Heavenly Kings?" Zhiming didn't think that the soul energy of Jizo Hades could breed such a powerful Oni Warrior.

"Originally there were four temples in the mountain. Later, all the monks were scared away and replaced by Jizo Hades' subordinates, that is, the Four Heavenly Kings Onimu and his subordinates. Don't forget, Jizo Hades is not a small character. A holy pot is not It may completely seal his power. Those ghost warriors are all generated by the phantom spirit he released from the pot. Some of them are good at disguising, they can see through people's hearts, and become the closest people around you. Kill you; among them, four were extremely powerful and became the Four Heavenly Kings of Onimus. The only purpose of their appearance in the world was to protect the Holy Pot of Sealing Demons. Because once the seal was broken by the outside world, the soul of Jizo Hades would be destroyed. will be in a state of perdition.”

"Why didn't those ghost warriors tear off the seal and rescue the master?" Zuo Mu was puzzled.

"Because they can't do it, the seal can't be broken casually." The queen smiled mysteriously.

"I thought the Four Heavenly Kings existed to protect you, Your Majesty." Zhiming suddenly realized.

"At best, I'm just an ordinary human being. How can I have such great power? In fact, from a certain point of view, protecting me is equivalent to protecting the Holy Pot of Sealing Demons." The Queen made a fool of herself.

The two of them didn't understand, with question marks on their faces.

"By the way, isn't there a human among the Four Heavenly Kings? What's going on?" Zhiming suddenly thought of this.

"It seems that you all know." The queen smiled and said, "Yes, Jiuyin is the only human being among the four heavenly kings. Originally, the gatekeeper of the fourth hall was called 'Underworld King', and Jiuyin was just a group of hermits. He is also the leader of my chief bodyguard; when I was going to practice mystic arts in the Tower of Sunrise in Shenyin Mountain, he rushed up the mountain single-handedly in order to protect me from the ghost warrior, subdued the four heavenly kings one after another, and replaced Ming The status of Ghost Heavenly King has become Jiuyin Heavenly King. I believe you also know that Jiuyin is a walker in the demon world."

"I know, but he already..." Zuo Mu didn't know whether to finish.

The Queen didn't care, and continued: "As I said, what the original Onimu Four Heavenly Kings really wanted to protect was not me, but the soul of Jizo Hades. After Jiuyin subdued them, I made an agreement with them. They are responsible for protecting me from outside influences during the cultivation period; I also promised them that I will unseal the seal myself on the day the cultivation is completed. I have this ability."

"So, the location of the holy pot is..." Zhiming suddenly understood.

"That's right, the Holy Pot of Sealing Demons is buried directly under the Tower of Sunrise! This tower is the birthplace of the Sun Goddess and is protected by natural divine power, so even the Four Heavenly Kings cannot break the seal by themselves .But I am the incarnation of the Sun Goddess, and I can easily break the seal." The Queen revealed the whole truth.

"After unblocking, what are the consequences?" Zuo Mu asked.

"Ksitigarbha Pluto will see the light of day again, and continue to create all kinds of natural and man-made disasters to harm the world. Therefore, I will never break the seal; at that time, I lied to the Four Heavenly Kings for the sake of cultivation." The Queen looked at the two with firm eyes. People say.

"Is there no top god in the God Realm who can check and balance him?" Zhiming asked.

"Our God Realm's organizational structure is quite complicated, and it will be impossible to explain it for a while. He was originally an evil god in the God Realm, or a peerless demon god, and has been rejected by the gods since ancient times. God Dragon God and other great gods teamed up and fought countless wars with the dark god group headed by Ksitigarbha Pluto, but in the end they still couldn't really subdue him. After all, the dark forces in the God Realm are deeply rooted. Now they can only temporarily use the holy pot to kill him. The god is sealed in the world to prevent being rescued by other dark gods; but the seal also has its own lifespan, even if no one unseals it, it will automatically expire after hundreds of years." The queen shook her head helplessly.

"It turns out that Ksitigarbha Hades and China's White Tiger God have the same role." Zhiming thought to himself, and then said, "I understand. It turns out that His Majesty and Tian Yulong God are allies in the God Realm!"

When the Queen heard the word "ally", her complexion sank instantly, and she said nothing.

Zhiming didn't know what he said was wrong again, so he quickly changed the subject: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what secret technique did you practice on the top of the mountain? Did you succeed?"

"The secret art of retaining the face is only half successful." The queen's face reappeared with a ray of sunshine, and said, "This is back to the previous topic. Although I finally found the ghost needle grass, I still couldn't find Hua Tuo. Unable to refine potions."

"How did you solve it later?" Zhiming wished that the queen could speak in one step.

"Later, Dalei Magician helped me invite a miracle doctor from the Western Regions, named Tam, whose medical skills were similar to Hua Tuo's. He helped me refine a magic potion that could not only restore my health, but also make me immortal. "When the queen said this, she looked like a delicate young girl, not even a single wrinkle could be seen on her face.

"Your Majesty took the medicine later?" Zhiming asked knowingly.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" The queen showed her hands as tender as catkins to the two.

Although her skin was so tender, Zhiming couldn't help shivering when he thought of her real age, thinking: "If the medicine suddenly fails, wouldn't we be facing an old woman?"

The queen saw through his thoughts, and said with a straight face, "Even if I don't have the support of the magical art of retaining the face, I won't be that old, right?"

Zhiming quickly said: "That is, that is. Now that you have the magic medicine for beauty, why does your majesty need to practice secret arts? Moreover, from the whole matter, Zhao Cheng has nothing to do with it."

"Don't worry, I haven't said anything yet. At that time, the potion made by the genius doctor Tam brought me back to life. I was very grateful to him and gave him the corresponding reward. However, this miracle medicine is the same as ordinary medicine. The half-life period, as soon as the effect of the medicine wears off, I will be beaten back to my original shape. When I said goodbye to the big thunder magician and went to the port to start the return voyage, I was in danger." The Queen frowned and recalled what happened at that time.

Seeing that the climax was coming, the two of them didn't dare to interrupt, and listened quietly.

"Shortly after I boarded the ship and returned to the voyage, I encountered pirates. They didn't seem to know my true identity; for some reason, it was inconvenient for me to show my strength. Although under the protection of the hermits, I finally escaped, But the brigands took advantage of the chaos and stole the magic medicine on board! I was shaking with anger, I could have saved them!" The queen was still angry when she thought of what happened that day.

"Because of the small size of the ship I was on, as soon as the pirates swarmed up, the ship would capsize immediately. The hermits were busy dealing with the enemy, but neglected to protect the potions in the cabin; when we drove the pirates away, we found that the property was basically gone. Lost, but the package containing the magic medicine is missing! It turns out that they are not asking for money, but have other plans!" The queen said angrily.

"Then how did they know that His Majesty has this medicine?" Zhiming asked.

"Because we captured a pirate. From his mouth, I learned that they were ordered by the leader of the Sky Valley Sect, Zhao Cheng, to snatch the beauty medicine. The number one good religion in Jiangdong is a joke through the ages!" The Queen kept shaking her head and smiling wryly.

"Did that pirate reveal the organization information under torture?" Zhiming wanted to confirm something.

"That's not the case. My people asked casually, and he declared himself a family." The queen recalled.

"No, there must be something wrong with this matter! I have contacted Master Zhao, and he is definitely not this kind of person!" Zhiming thought to himself, but he didn't dare to say it out. He just said, "Could it be those people pretending to be Tiangu Sect To rob in the name? As far as I know, Master Zhao is not such a person."

The queen was taken aback, staring at Zhiming with a pair of eagle eyes and asked: "Listen to your tone, do you know Zhao Cheng?"

"I don't know each other, but as a Han Chinese, I have heard a little about it. The Tiangu Sect has always pursued the tenet of 'being kind and charitable, helping those in need and helping those in need', which has won the hearts of the people. You said that they would do such a thing, and I couldn't accept it for a while. "

"Your Majesty, so you haven't seen Zhao Cheng in person since then? You just heard one side of the story and concluded that this matter is Zhao Cheng behind the scenes?" Zuo Mu asked.

The queen was taken aback, and had to admit that the way the matter was handled was inappropriate, but at the time she was so angry that she couldn't control herself, and immediately ordered someone to throw the prisoner into the sea, and there was no proof of death; in retrospect, it really seemed too arbitrary and impulsive.

"Your Majesty, I think there are many doubts about this matter. First, how did the Sky Valley Sect learn about His Majesty's itinerary from thousands of miles away? Second, if the Sky Valley Sect wants to snatch the magic medicine, there are many opportunities on land, so why do they have to act at sea? Three, people who dare to do this kind of thing at sea, unless they have rich sailing experience and have a clear idea of ​​the whole target action; people from the Sky Valley Sect have lived on land for a long time, how can they do it? Fourth, ordinary robbers, unless there is a reason , otherwise he would not betray his organization and master in an emergency, let alone a desperado? What's more, he was not threatened. Anyway, judging from the whole matter, it is too far-fetched to say that it was done by the Tiangu Sect." Zhi Ming expresses his point of view.

The Queen nodded thoughtfully.Zuo Mu also agreed with his teammates.

"So, I misunderstood the Sky Valley Sect at the time, and the mastermind of that group of pirates was not Zhao Cheng, but someone else?" The queen felt that the young man's logical thinking was quite strict.

"At least I think so. It is clear that someone wants to snatch the magic medicine, and by the way, blame it on the Tiangu Sect, and even impose the crime on Zhao Cheng. It seems that this group of people has been eyeing him since the beginning of this ocean trip. You, Your Majesty." Zhiming already had a preliminary suspect in his heart.

"The key is that I keep a low profile throughout the whole process, and not many people know my whereabouts." The queen couldn't figure out which link had a loophole.

"That's just His Majesty's personal opinion. Can Your Majesty ensure that the escorting hermits will not leak the news?" Zhiming used the reverse method to analyze.

"They are all confidantes selected by Jiuyin. Logically speaking, they would not betray the king. It's just..." The queen's eyes flashed, and a fragment flashed in her mind, and she said, "So that's the case, I understand. Before going out, there are A hermit was temporarily replaced due to physical discomfort. It seems that the replacement is a spy, and he secretly revealed all my whereabouts to the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Your Majesty's implication is that Jiuyin is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Zuo Mu still hadn't fully understood.

"No, Jiuyin has always been loyal to me, I believe it won't be him." The queen didn't express it.

Judging from the expression, the queen has understood many things.She was quite disappointed and said: "Actually, I have hinted at him countless times in my previous actions. I didn't expect him to treat me in this way. If I knew this, why should I bother?"

"Your Majesty, there is actually one more thing I don't quite understand. If their purpose is to prevent you from obtaining the elixir of life, why didn't they do it before you set off? Why did they wait until you return?" Zhiming could tell that the Queen had already Know who is behind the scenes.

"Because if I encounter pirates as soon as I set off, my intentions are too obvious. Only when I encounter pirates on the return journey, and it is still in the waters near the west coast, will I not be discovered. The bandits are all Chinese-speaking, which is also misleading. The direction of my suspicion. This is a well-planned conspiracy, the purpose is to let me die early!" The queen also regretted knowing it too late.

"Then how does His Majesty plan to deal with him?" Zuo Mu also understood.

Even if she rides around the world with a whip all her life, she can't beat her inner weakness. The Queen only said: "I have my own measure."

After finishing speaking, she asked Zhiming again: "How did you judge that those pirates are not members of the Tiangu sect?"

Of course, Zhiming could not reveal his relationship with the Tiangu Sect, and said: "When meeting the prince before, he accidentally mentioned something, saying that there was an old man in Dahan, also named Zhao Cheng. I thought it couldn't be such a coincidence. I deduced it according to the trend. Of course, I also hope it is not the truth, after all..."

"After all, he is my real brother, right?" The queen suddenly became gloomy, like the bright moon in the sky losing its brilliance.

The two could see that the queen still had feelings for the prince. After all, they were born from the same root. Even if they knew that the other party wanted to put them to death, they couldn't bear to deal with him.At this moment, her heart was as pure as snow, and she completely lost the original confidence and arrogance of a war madman.

After a long while, the Queen cleared away the misty clouds on her face, and said, "Thank you very much for providing such valuable information. I understand roughly what to do. The Goguryeo people will soon start attacking the city, you should hurry up." Get out of here. The promise I made before will definitely be fulfilled."

"Your Majesty, you haven't told me what this magic soul ball has to do with practicing secret arts." Zhiming suddenly felt sorry for the queen, so he simply handed the magic soul ball to her.

The queen looked at him in surprise, took the magic soul ball carefully, and said, "It seems that it's time to tell you everything."

The two looked at her intently, as if they were waiting for her to reveal a shocking mystery.
