Chapter 44
Cuijiacun's entrance to the underworld seemed to be blocked by a barrier. No matter whether she recited the Purana Sutra or the Requiem Mantra, she could not open the barrier.

Helpless, Fu Yiqing burned a piece of talisman paper and recited the curse to invite evil. After a while, two black and white blurry figures appeared in front of him.

He is a ghost guarding the barrier between Cuijia Village and the underworld.

Fu Yiqing saw the ceremony and each of them burned a piece of talisman paper and said, "Well done, both of you."

Two blurry figures with long tongues nodded towards her.

"I want to ask something. This Cuijia Village has committed a serious sin and blasphemed the Empress Houtu. Not being reincarnated is a punishment. But the souls around here are innocent. Why are they not allowed to enter the underworld?"

The black and white figures looked at each other and waved the spiritual flags in front of Fu Yiqing's eyes. Rows of runes were floating in the air and a seal was stamped at the end.

Fu Yiqing frowned after reading it, "What is Queen Houtu's will? There is no room for change?"

The black and white figure shook his head, cupped his hands towards Fu Yiqing, and both disappeared.

Now I didn't even have a chance to ask.

Seeing how Fu Yiqing was concentrating on himself, he now started to frown again, although it was hard to tell from his dark face...

But you can tell by the tone of voice.

Xun Yan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Hearing his voice, Fu Yiqing woke up, his eyes burning, "Help me."

"Huh?" Xun Yan was confused.

"I'm going to the underworld, and I need to borrow your Yang Fire."

Not surprisingly, she was married to Xun Yan in this life, and the bond in previous lives was so deep that if Xun Yan's Yang Fire was tied to her, she would be able to come back even if her own Yang Fire was extinguished.

But if the yang fire of the person being borrowed is also extinguished, he is likely to become stupid.

Commonly known as dementia.

"Okay." Xun Yan did not hesitate.

Fu Yiqing was surprised, "Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?"

"There's very little I can do to help you. Once I'm clear, I know the gap between us. I just want to help you if I can."

Xun Yan's eyes were pure, and when he looked at her, he looked at her with a simplicity that was only hers, which was unbearable.

"I won't let anything happen to you." Fu Yiqing coughed lightly, feeling guilty. She had never understood romance, and Xun Yan's little thoughts in many lifetimes must have turned into disappointment.

Thinking about it, Fu Yiqing reached out to hug Xun Yan and patted him, "Trust me."

Xun Yan's body stiffened, and then his dark face turned red, and he seemed a little at a loss.

Just when he was about to reach out and hug him back, he felt his head dizzy, and Fu Yiqing's hand slipped from his shoulder to his wrist.

He pulled out a golden thread, which was still faintly red, and tied it to Fu Yiqing's own wrist.

Then something came down from the top of his head, holding it in both hands.

Fu Yi's delicate little face smiled tenderly at him, "I'm about to enter the underworld. There is a red thread here. If the red thread doesn't light up, you call me first. If I don't come, you can pull me back."

"I can't-" Xun Yan took a step closer.

"No." Fu Yiqing interrupted him with an extremely serious tone, "That's the underworld. Strangers will be punished if they enter. I'm a Taoist priest and I know some rules. You don't want to go."

"Okay." Xun Yan stopped and looked at Fu Yiqing meditating on the spot. After a while, he closed his eyes, and his whole body seemed to be lifeless.

……

The sky is filled with yellow sand and the wind is blowing constantly.

Fu Yiqing smelled a trace of evil spirit fluctuations. This was the edge of Huangquan and the junction with the Country of Roots.

That is, the underworld in the direction of Japan.

It was once under the jurisdiction of Empress Houtu, but later she rebelled and left. It has always been a good place for evil spirits and evil spirits.

The aura of this evil spirit was very similar to that of the Country of Roots, which she had seen before.

Had the underworld been invaded?The wind and sand blew by, causing the open flame in her hand, the sun fire above her head, to sway a bit.

Not long after, in the roadless land of yellow sand, blue will-o'-wisps lit up, paving a road.

Fu Yiqing set foot on the Huangquan Road. After a while, the boundless yellow sand turned into silver-red mangroves and flowers. At the end of the sea of ​​flowers, there was a house.

When he came to the house, Fu Yiqing did not go in. Instead, he controlled a talisman and flew straight into the house.

"Taopo Wutian asks to see Empress Houtu."

Soon, the talisman was knocked back, and an old woman with a crutch and a stooped back came with her. The hand that lifted her chin was as white as jade.

"I haven't seen a stranger in a long time. Do you know what will happen if a stranger comes to my mansion?" The old woman smiled.

"Death." Fu Yiqing's eyes were calm.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" The old woman sneered, "You think you know a little about Taoism and you want to offend the gods?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here for the living beings around Cuijiacun." Fu Yiqing's eyes remained calm and firm.

The old woman narrowed her eyes, and suddenly yellow sand flew around her. Countless pairs of ghost hands reached out to Fu Yiqing, pulling Fu Yiqing. The open flame in her hand was almost extinguished.

Ghosts screamed in her ears again and again, and she even heard a familiar voice.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Huo Qiang, have you ever loved me?"

It is the former Shen Yan.

"It's just a matter of annihilating one clan and changing the long-term peace and security of the world. That's what your Majesty should do."

"Your Majesty should not indulge in the love between his children, let alone feel compassion!"

"I am willing to open up new territories for Your Majesty!"

He is her partner in conquering the world.

There were also countless people she had cared about whose faces were wet unconsciously, dripping into the open fire, and the open fire was extinguished for a moment.

"Fu Yiqing!" An urgent voice came from afar.

Fu Yiqing woke up instantly. Is there any sound around him?
When he looked up at the old woman, he saw her smiling face.

"where u from?"

"East."

"Why?"

"The creatures around Cuijia Village entered the underworld."

"Not allowed."

The other person's voice was cold.

Fu Yiqing raised his head and saw that the old woman had changed. She was holding a wat board in her hand, wearing a harvest crown on her head, and a green robe. She was extremely solemn.

The surrounding area also changed from the yellow sand in the sky to the main hall.

"I've met Empress Houtu." Fu Yiqing saluted seriously.

When he wanted to ask about Cuijiacun again, Empress Houtu spoke first.

"Cuijia Village has committed evil for more than ten generations, which has also affected the surrounding creatures. It's not that I haven't forgiven it. It's just that that year, things that shouldn't come in came into the underworld, all of which were evil spirits and evil immortals. And the Ten Palaces of Yama came out for inspection. The underworld is almost destroyed, and I won’t allow it from now on.”

Fu Yiqing was confused. Empress Houtu was in charge of the earth and the underworld. Could it be that a few evil spirits and evil immortals couldn't deal with her?

"You must be wondering why I can't deal with it, right?" Empress Houtu laughed.

Fu sighed again, "Since I passed the entrance to Cuijia Village last time, the underworld has been under attack by evil spirits. A few hundred years ago, I was asked by the Dragon King to help repair the mountainous area that had been devastated by the attacks of Western gods. Ze."

"I just came back in the past two days. As soon as I came back, I discovered something interesting."

 Some of them are just made up to serve the plot, don’t believe it.
