Chapter 305: Empress Tai'an (Part )
Last time, we talked about Li Yi and Xiao Ziyi following Tai'an Niangniang into Houtu Cave. What will this righteous god talk to them about? Let's read on.
Li and Xiao were stunned by the treasures of heaven and earth everywhere. Xiao Ziyi pointed at a five-colored treasure bottle and signaled Li Yi: That must be the five-colored pottery that Nuwa presented to Tai'an Niangniang.
Li Yi naturally gave her an affirmative look in response: Yes, there is no doubt about it, this is it!
How could the two's little thoughts escape the eyes of Empress Tai'an? She said, "Don't be so reserved. I've already eaten today and I'm in a good mood. You two don't have to worry."
Li Yi was surprised in his heart: What's going on? Didn't the queen just wake up? Didn't Lu Sheng just send the soul-gathering pill? How come she has already eaten? Hiss, did she just eat my soul?
Empress Tai'an looked at Li Yi with a playful look on her face: "You guessed right, what I eat is your soul. You are the gift sent to me by the heaven, a walking soul pill."
Li Yi immediately closed his eyes and looked inward to examine his soul.
Empress Tai'an smiled and said, "Don't panic. Heaven gave you Dayi's soul so that I could spare your life. I ate the part he reserved in advance."
Li Yi's consciousness came to the spiritual platform, looking for little Li Yi in the righteous spirit. He guessed correctly that Tai'an Niangniang had eaten the real Li Yi's residual soul.
Not only is there the remnant soul of the real Li Yi, but there is also the earth soul that was separated from the souls of Xia Liuzhu and the big sand spider in order to protect his original heart, which carries all kinds of confusing memories.
Empress Taian turned around and said to Xiao Ziyi, "That is exactly the five-colored pottery that the leader of the Nuwa tribe collected with great difficulty and then refined and fired with great care.
It is called the Five Emotions and Five Colors Bottle, which can absorb and control the five emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, and resentment. It is not only useful for humans, but also for all living things. "After saying this, Empress Tai'an showed a playful smile at the corner of her mouth.
Li Yi thought: No need to guess, the Queen must have tried it with the Heavenly Dog, otherwise she wouldn't be laughing so happily. Alas, it seems that the Heavenly Dog is firmly controlled by this great god. Could it be that all the treasures here have been tried with it?
Xiao Ziyi walked over to the Five Emotions and Five Colors Vase and examined it carefully. This treasure vase only had the simplest embossed patterns, which certainly could not be called exquisitely crafted. However, the colorful patterns spiraled upward from the bottom of the vase, with even colors and natural transitions, and the style was absolutely exquisite.
There were many treasures placed around, but Li Xiao and the others only knew a handful of them. They didn't dare ask Empress Tai'an to introduce them, so they could only watch.
Xiao Ziyi was looking around when Empress Tai'an first put the alchemy furnace presented by Lu Sheng aside, then lay on her side on a jade bed, fanning herself with a palm fan.
The jade bed was made of a huge piece of white jade, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, all of which were lifelike. One could tell at a glance that it was meticulously carved according to the texture of the original stone. It would have taken more than ten years of hard work to make just the outer side.
Empress Tai'an was about to pick up a purple gold gourd, not knowing whether it contained nectar or magic medicine. Seeing Li Yi staring at her, she asked casually, "You are really strange, when others come to my place, they stare at the treasures in the room, but you are not interested in treasures at all. Why do you keep staring at me?"
Xiao Ziyi was so absorbed in looking at the spiritual treasures in the room that she forgot who she was talking to for a moment. She subconsciously said, "He thinks you are too beautiful, more dazzling than all the spiritual treasures in the room, so he stares at you. To put it bluntly, he is lustful!"
When Li Yi heard this, his face turned green and he coughed quickly. Xiao Ziyi finally reacted and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "I am rude and have offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me!"
Empress Taian opened the lid of the purple gold gourd and brought it to her mouth. After swallowing, she said, "Why are you kneeling? I don't think it's offensive. I don't care about the etiquette of you humans. I do things according to my own likes and dislikes. At least until now, I don't think there is anything annoying about you two."
Li Yi reached out his hand to help Xiao Ziyi up and whispered, "Just look around and don't talk nonsense! Just let me communicate with the queen, don't make trouble for me anymore, if you want to live, just listen to me!"
Xiao Ziyi nodded silently, stepped aside and looked around.
Li Yi bowed to the Queen Mother Tai'an and said, "I heard that Dayu once cast twelve bronze cymbals as a gift to the Queen Mother. I looked around but it seems they are not here."
Empress Tai'an swung her snake tail and said, "I put all the musical instruments in another treasure pavilion. How come you know about music?"
Xiao Ziyi interrupted, "My lady, he is the head of the Music Bureau of our Great Wei. He is the person who knows the most about music in our Great Wei. He can write lyrics and compose music at will. He is..."
Li Yi glared at Xiao Ziyi fiercely, and the latter immediately realized that after leaving the palace, no one could control her willful behavior, and she was so unbridled. Realizing the problem, Xiao Ziyi covered her mouth and turned to look at the various spiritual treasures.
Empress Tai'an asked, "It would be great if you understand music. I haven't heard any new music in a long time, and I don't know what style the human race's music is in now. Please sing a song for me. If you sing well, I can give you something as a reward."
Li Yi said in embarrassment: "I don't have any musical instruments with me. Can I borrow one from the Empress's Pavilion?"
Empress Tai'an stretched out her hand and a staircase appeared beside the jade bed. She said, "Go get it yourself. Remember to put it back after use. I don't want to ask Dizang to help me clean up the cave. Every time he comes, I have to clean it inside and out. It's troublesome to look at it."
Li Yi was walking towards the jade bed when he heard Lady Tai'an say that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was helping her clean the cave. He thought: Damn, a first-class Bodhisattva in Buddhism is both a gardener and a part-time worker. What kind of family do you have?
When Li Yi was complaining in his heart, he suddenly heard the voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in his heart: "Li Yi, have you seen the incense burner beside the Queen's bed? There is something wrong with that incense burner!" Hearing this, Li Yi immediately looked at the incense burner beside the jade bed and walked over.
At this moment, Empress Tai'an's eyes widened and she shouted, "Ksitigarbha, if you dare to spy on my cave again, I will use you to fill the eyes of Mojiu, and let you suffer the pain of Yin Fire burning your soul for eternity!"
As soon as Empress Tai'an finished speaking, a fierce roar was heard from the heavenly dog outside the cave.
The roar caused the earth to tremble. At this moment, Xiao Ziyi was about to reach out to take a purple-gold cloud-patterned mirror, but she was frightened and shaken, and accidentally knocked the cloud-patterned mirror over and it fell.
There was only the sound of broken glass, and a cloud of mist floated on the ground, then slowly dissipated. Xiao Ziyi's face turned pale with fear, and she looked at the fragments on the ground in horror.
At the same time, Empress Tai'an's pupils turned blue, and she pinched Xiao Ziyi with the lotus finger of her right hand, and she fell to the ground. Her soul had been sucked out of her body by Empress Tai'an, floating in the air, covering her neck and struggling in pain.
Li Yi was right beside the jade bed. He had no time to think and subconsciously reached out to stop Empress Tai'an. But before he could reach out his hand, Empress Tai'an just glared at him, and he fell headfirst, with his head stuck on the embossed dragon horn of the jade bed.
Empress Tai'an said coldly: "You clumsy little girl, do you know what you broke? That is the Nine Nether Cloud Mirror, which is my magic weapon for looking into the Nine Netherworld from afar!
Now what do you want me to use to check the Mojiu Eye in the deepest part of the Nine Netherworld, the source of weak water, and the black salamander that I locked on the Panlong Pillar! Watching it being burned by Yin Fire Mojiu is my greatest pleasure. How should I punish you, little girl? Just eating you is too easy for you, let me think about it. "
Li Yi, who was lying on the side of the jade bed, could not move but could still speak. He said, "Your Majesty, I know we cannot afford to pay for any of the treasures in this room, but I wonder if you can give us a chance to make amends. We are willing to do anything for you!"
Empress Tai'an raised her eyebrows and pointed at Li Yi. The latter slowly regained consciousness. He held the edge of the bed and tried to get up, but couldn't.
Seeing Li Yi, who was extremely anxious but could not even stand up, Empress Taian thought it was very funny, so she wrapped him with her snake tail and lifted him up into the air. Then she lay lazily on the jade bed and said, "It seems that you care about this little girl a lot?"
Li Yi replied: "You are joking, madam. Which man doesn't care about the woman he loves?"
Empress Taian looked at Xiao Ziyi and asked, "Little girl, you must love this boy too, right?"
The restraint on Xiao Ziyi's soul's neck loosened slightly, and she nodded reluctantly.
Empress Tai'an turned over and lay flat on the bed, put her hands behind her head and looked at the stone ceiling and said, "Then I will punish you two to love each other forever, but never be together. It's interesting to think about it! It must be very painful to love each other but not be able to embrace each other. That's it!"
Empress Tai'an stretched out her hand and pointed, and a black hole appeared on the top of the stone. Then she flicked her finger and threw Xiao Ziyi's soul into the black hole; the snake's tail swung again, and Li Yi's soul was also thrown in.
As the black hole disappeared, Empress Tai'an put the bodies of Li Yi and Xiao Ziyi aside, hooked her finger, and a round obsidian mirror flew into her hand.
Empress Tai'an blew a breath into the stone mirror, and the mirror began to show images. She stretched out her hand and pushed it again, and the images in the stone mirror were projected onto the top of the stone. She casually called out, "Er Gouzi, come and watch the show with me."
The heavenly dog trotted along the way, picked up Lu Sheng's alchemy furnace, and jumped onto the jade bed. When Empress Tai'an raised her head, the heavenly dog immediately came over and lay on the head of the bed to serve as a pillow for Empress Tai'an.
Empress Tai'an reached out and patted Tengu's head and said, "Don't stick out your tongue or breathe! It's so annoying!"
Tiangou immediately shut up and put his head on Tai'an Niangniang's shoulder to watch the scene on the top of the stone...
The top of the stone reflects the reincarnations of Li Yi and Xiao Ziyi. Just as Lady Tai'an said before, no matter how they reincarnate, they love each other, either as childhood sweethearts, or in love at first sight, or passionately, or shockingly.
But the result was either they were separated by life and death, or they were out of reach, or their hatred was as deep as the sea, all of which were burdened by the world and ultimately they were unable to be together.
Empress Tai'an chewed the soul pill and said, "Er Gouzi, do you think there are any other tricks? It's the same old tricks over and over again. I'm a little tired of them."
Tiangou thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you can try the different paths of humans and demons, or the love between immortals and demons, or the love between humans and ghosts."
Empress Tai'an reached out and touched Tengu's head and said with a smile: "You have so many bad ideas in your little head. The dog-headed military advisor is talking about you."
The Heavenly Dog licked Empress Tai'an's cheek and said, "Whatever the Empress says is what it is. I am not only qualified to be a dog-headed military advisor, but also a pig-headed one."
Empress Tai'an knocked on Tengu's head with her little fist and said with a smile: "You are such a stupid licker. Only you can say such a thing. If you have a little brain, you won't say that!"
Tengu was puzzled and said, "These are all from the bottom of my heart. How else can I say it?"
Empress Taian said, "Why don't we see what this kid has to say!" As she spoke, she pointed to the scene on the top of the stone and it changed:
In this life, Xiao Ziyi is the king of all monsters, while Li Yi is a cultivator of the immortal sect whose mission is to slay monsters and eliminate demons. Xiao Ziyi led the monsters to attack the immortal sect. Although the entire immortal sect was slaughtered, the monsters also suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat to the monster world to recuperate.
Li Yi and several of his fellow apprentices escaped the disaster because they were traveling outside. After returning to Xianmen, they vowed to kill all the evil spirits in the world and revive Xianmen. Later, Li Yi, who had cultivated to the Tao, became the chief gate, shouldering the important task of eliminating evil spirits and defending the Tao and reviving Xianmen.
On the other side, the demon clan decided to eliminate the dissidents and unify the three realms after reorganization, so Li Yi and Xiao Ziyi finally met. Although Li Yi had achieved immortality, he was no match for Xiao Ziyi. Not only was his cultivation sealed, but he also became a slave of the demon king. The demon clan also successfully unified the three realms and became the master of heaven and earth.
