Chapter 8: The Marriage of the Arctic and Earth



Di Ting's voice still carried a hint of fatigue. Qi Wuhuo hummed and thanked him. Then, with a calm expression, he greeted the residents of the town passing by and asked in his heart what was going on. Di Ting said lazily, "Only I can do this."

"The Ten Kings of Hell have agreed to allow those who died in vain to go back and see their families for the last time."

"This is how we end our karmic relationship."

"But you can't talk, you can't move rashly, you can't communicate. Also, this matter may be a bit big."

"Qi Wuhuo, your [Yin De] is probably completely exhausted. If you have time one day, you'd better come to the underworld. If this can really make these souls feel a little more at ease, the underworld may consider making this a rule that will be followed in the past, allowing the wrongfully dead to return to the world of the living to see their blood relatives on the seventh day after death."

"As for your parents and that gentleman..."

"Only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the old bald man, knows where these souls are going."

"But now the old bald guy has been severely attacked. I'm afraid he won't be able to wake up for a while. You just wait."

Di Ting sat cross-legged in the City of the Dead, his chin supported by his hand, and said lazily: "These are the things I know."

The young Taoist said, "Thank you, sir."

Di Ting waved his hand casually and said, "What's the hard work? It's just a few casual words."

"If you really want to thank me."

"Why not go to the town today, buy some good wine and meat, and cook a table of delicious food—"

The action of listening carefully suddenly paused.

An indescribable, creepy feeling emerged behind him, as if hands soaked in ice water were stretched out and gently pressed against his back, making his body slightly stiff.

Di Ting raised his eyes slightly.

Then, as if thinking about something, his spiritual alertness instantly reached its maximum.

This spirit swept across the surroundings in an instant, sweeping across the universe. It did this several times, and did not detect any danger. Only then did it breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems I was overthinking it.

But it is.

Lao Tzu's magical powers are innate. Although everything has its destiny and perfection is unattainable, his cultivation is ultimately only at the peak of the Earthly Immortal. However, when it comes to the way of perception, even an ordinary emperor cannot escape the ability to listen carefully and count the six realms of reincarnation, the gods, Buddhas, demons, and countless powerful beings.

But there are no more than a handful of people in this world who can surpass my inference with innate magical powers!

What do I have to fear?

There is no way that Qi Wuhuo, a man with a weak nose, could gather them all together.

After such calm thinking, he laughed, relieved and said:

"Prepare a table of delicious food for me."

"There aren't many good foods in this underworld, the City of the Dead."

"I've been here for a long time without food or drink. I'm about to have problems. But you know, I need good wine and good meat!"

Qi Wuhuo agreed.

He walked slowly all the way into the town. When children saw him, they would stop and call him "sir". Qi Wuhuo would return the greeting. Now this town is in Jinzhou, and Qi Wuhuo is here for a short period of time to practice Buddhism. He will also teach the children to read and write in place of the teachers here.

Teach reading and literature, playing the musical instrument and writing, as well as martial arts training.

"Ah...the clouds are so big and so white."

Next to the sea of ​​clouds in heaven, a girl in green sat on the clouds, staring at the wind and clouds in front of her with wide eyes. She opened her mouth and let the very fast wind fly past her mouth, making an "ahhhh" sound. Her eyes were big and bright, as she looked at the scenery in front of her, lazy and casual.

The old ox, on the other hand, was helpless and stood by with his arms around his shoulders.

His brows were always frowned and never relaxed.

There was only one thought in my mind -

Damn it!

The Northern Emperor personally came to recruit us!

I, Old Niu, overturned the Buddhist kingdom of Medicine Buddha and ran all the way to Beiji Ziwei, only then did I get the protection of Beiji Ziwei Emperor. This is like a [pledge of surrender]. This time, it was Beiji Ziwei Emperor himself who offered amnesty to the young Taoist priest.

Okay.

The young Taoist priest just jumped up.

Old Niu is so confused. Although when I was young, I was also a devil in the demon world, but, the job in the heaven is also quite stable. Wuhuo, why do you have to do this?

When Qi Wuhuo fell into the demon world and beat up the giant spirit, and was about to rebel against the heaven, Old Huangniu didn't have any big problem with Qi Wuhuo not coming to the heaven. Now, what Old Huangniu was most worried about in his heart was another thought that he absolutely could not tell to Zhinu and Yun Zhiyi.

"What about these two children?"

The old ox was biting a piece of green grass in its mouth, with its brows furrowed.

The current Wuhuo is the earth god under the command of Hou Tuhuang earth god.

Where is Yunqin?

That is Beidizi, the great-granddaughter of Beiji Ziwei Emperor.

It would be fine if Wuhuo entered the Heavenly Palace, but after receiving the name of Zhenwu, everyone knew that Zhenwu was the confidant of Beiji Ziwei Emperor. It would be natural and logical for him to become a Taoist couple with the girl who was once the daughter of Beiji Ziwei, and he would directly become the reserve of Beiji Ziwei Emperor's right-hand man.

And now Qi Wuhuo is the trusted disciple of Hou Tu, the rebel against Heaven.

Yunqin is a blood relative of the most majestic Beiji Emperor in Heaven.

Damn it!

How the hell did they become a Taoist couple?!

The two most powerful juniors in heaven, one against heaven, became a couple. The Jade Emperor would probably have to draw his sword and stand up on the spot.

Then he chopped it down with his sword.

Are you guys going to rebel against the heaven? ! !

Isn't this a joke?!

The old ox felt his head going numb just thinking about it. It was numb, numb. When he was running wildly through the Buddha Kingdom after kicking over the old bald medicine master, he once went straight through the Thunder Department and was struck by lightning. It was pitch black, but he didn't feel so numb at all. He had been thinking about it for several days until his head was smoking. Finally, he thought of a way.

Unless the Jade Emperor personally nods, then these two Taoist companions can ease the conflict between Hou Tu and the heaven.

Not only will this not affect the prestige of the few of you, it will even make all the gods and immortals breathe a sigh of relief. Yu and Yu don't have to fight, and everyone's mood instantly brightens. Even an old ox can imagine that if that day really comes, the gifts sent over will probably have to be packed in sacks.

Hehe, when the time comes, I, Lao Niu, will have a sack in my left hand and another sack in my right hand.

Inside the sack was a Qiankun bag and a mustard seed container.

There is still a Qiankun bag inside the Qiankun bag.

The big ones are put inside the small ones, and in the end there are all kinds of natural treasures.

From south to north, from the Dou Department to the Lei Department, the immortals and gods who want to send gifts will probably line up in a row. Even if the upper-level immortals and gods in each major department are unhappy and think that this will ease the conflicts and give them fewer opportunities, they will still honestly send a large amount of gifts for the sake of face.

By then, I, Old Cow, can count from one day to the next.

He sat on the treasure and counted until his hooves became cramped.

The old ox was fantasizing so much that his saliva was starting to flow.

As soon as I thought of the current situation, I felt as if I had been hit on the back of the head with a club, as if all the treasures that were about to pass through my hands had disappeared, and I felt very heartbroken.

But no matter how much I imagine it, I know that this is absolutely impossible.

How is this possible?

That is the reincarnation of Haotian, the Great Celestial Lord.

But the girl over there didn't care at all, her smile was as pure as usual, and her eyes were calm.

The old ox sighed and simply stopped caring. He leaned over and asked, "Yunqin."

"Hmm? Uncle Niu?"

"Yunqin, have you been in contact with Wuhuo recently?"

"Hmm? Not yet. Wuhuo has just broken through and is in the process of stabilizing. However, there are indeed many interesting things to tell him." The girl pressed Yunxia with both hands, swayed her legs, and said, "For example, that ritual is boring, and the Justice Grand Lord said that [Zhenwu despised the rules of heaven and should be punished], and that Zhenwu."

Yunqin's eyes lit up:

"Wow, you can skip such a big ritual!"

"Thanks to him, I have saved myself a lot of trouble!"

"I declare that Zhenwu and Beidizi are the perfect match. Humph, they must both hate the rituals of the heaven. If I could meet them, I, Fairy Yunqin, would definitely bow to them and thank them for skipping their own rituals and saving my legs so that I don't have to stay there for several hours in a row."

The old ox choked.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

He felt that one day a valuable piece of bezoar would be stuck in his internal organs.

You two look gentle, respectful, honest and well-behaved.

But if you put the two of them on the scale, I'm afraid one of them would be 80% rebellious.

The old ox suddenly began to worry about the future. If these two little guys grew up, a thousand years later, several thousand years later, they would become the True Lord of one place or the Emperor of another place, and they would also take in a disciple. I hope they wouldn't be another guy who [directly skipped the title bestowed by Heaven].

Maybe because he had seen two people skipping the ritual in a short period of time, the old ox actually felt that this was not a big deal.

Never mind.

At worst, I can just skip the ritual.

Just don't let anyone come along later who can disrupt the rituals and ruin the event.

Lao Niu comforted himself in his heart, and then said: "However, next time you and Wuhuo meet, please call me Uncle Niu. I also have something to talk to Wuhuo about."

"Ah? Okay!"

Yunqin agreed immediately, and then thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, if that's the case, let's go now."

She pushed herself up with her hands, stood up on the clouds, and clapped her hands.

The old ox was stunned: "So fast?!"

The girl spread her arms and smiled brightly at the clouds: "I saw the clouds flowing and the world was lovely, and I suddenly thought of him."

"Since I've thought of him, I might as well go and see him!"

The old ox was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, a chuckle was heard, and someone said, "So cool and relaxed."

The old ox turned around and saw the elegant Zuo Fu Xingjun standing there with a gentle smile. When he saw Yun Qin, he bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Miss Yun Qin, it's been a long time since we last met."

Yunqin responded with, "Uncle Zuo Fu Xingjun."

Zuo Fu Xingjun was helpless, but he just smiled and said:

"Yun Qin wants to go down to the mortal world to meet that...that Qi Wuhuo, right?"

"yes."

Yun Qin answered, and then the girl in green shrank her neck as if she had thought of something, and said belatedly:

"Ah, this, I, I am now... still in confinement..."

"Yeah?"

The girl looked like she was about to do something bad and was caught in the act.

Zuo Fu Xingjun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course not, but if you want to come down to earth, you must have us accompany you."

The young girl Yunqin let out a cry.

Zuo Fu Xingjun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it just so happens that the Northern Emperor is also coming down to earth."

"Just accompanying you along the way."

"Well, Yunqin, do you want to change your clothes? After all, you are going to meet that person."

The girl replied: "Ah, who is it? Wuhuo?"

"I want to see Wuhuo. I can wear anything. Even if I just wear this kind of clothes, I am still me."

Zuo Fu Xingjun smiled and said, "However, since this time you are visiting an elder, it would be better for Yunqin to bring some gifts."

Yun Qin suddenly realized, nodded, and said, "Meet the elders?!"

"I understand, I understand!"

Seeing the girl leaving briskly, Zuo Fu Xingjun smiled and turned slightly to look at the old ox with deep eyes. The old ox looked at the former, with a deep aura. He was a very high-level True Lord, and at least he could balance Zuo Fu Xingjun. He said thoughtfully:

"Does the Northern Emperor want to see him personally?"

"And Lord Beidi said in person that he wanted to take Yunqin with him?"

The Zuo Fu star god is all Tao.

The old ox took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Lord Beidi, he is really Lord Beidi..."

He sighed and said, "Gou Chen is sealed, Nan Ji retreats, Wu Huo has a deep affection for Queen Hou Tu."

"Then name him Zhenwu."

"We are making peace with the Queen Mother Hou Tu. One is inside, and the other is outside. Together, the two can balance the South Pole."

"Next, after Wuhuo was conferred the title, he was like a hostage in heaven, and he used this to hold Queen Hou Tu hostage, so that the latter would be stable."

"And now, Wuhuo doesn't accept Zhenwu, so he chooses Yunqin?"

The Northern Emperor is fair and stern, but Lao Huangniu does not think that the Northern Emperor is the kind of person who is cold-faced but kind-hearted and does not know how to use tricks.

Being in such a high position and having existed for such a long time, it is difficult to accurately measure their good and evil.

Zuo Fu Xingjun smiled but said nothing.

"The Emperor's heart is like the stars above, like the sun patrolling the sky. How can we know it?"

Old Yellow Ox raised his eyebrows, looked at the Zuo Fu Xingjun in front of him, stretched out his hand to press his palm, and a precious jade flew into the sleeve of Zuo Fu Xingjun without making a sound. He smiled and said, "Old Yellow Ox, I am asking a question. Does this mean that they are going to become Taoist couples to ease the current hidden dangers, like the so-called [political marriage] in the world?"

Zuo Fu Xingjun couldn't help laughing, so he could only say, "Maybe."

"In the past, that young Taoist priest had no way to gain the respect of Lord Beidi."

"Even if the Supreme Master taught me personally, it's still not enough."

"If he enters the North Pole and calls himself Zhenwu, the North Emperor will probably distance him from Miss Yunqin to reassure the North Pole. Nepotism is not allowed in the North Pole clan. But now, although he is not Zhenwu, he is well-known among the generals such as the Giant Spirit God, and he is also under the command of the Queen Mother Hou Tu. He has the value and qualifications to be the target of this marriage."

Zuo Fu Xingjun also thinks so.

The old ox grunted twice, and then said, "Have you asked them?"

Zuo Fu Xingjun smiled and asked, "Is this matter important?"

The old ox said, "It's very important."

"If we follow the trend, we will ask them. It is their choice and it is beneficial to the heavens and the earth."

"Not just a chess piece of the Northern Emperor."

"After all, he is my own nephew, so I am very concerned about this matter!"

Suddenly, a faint voice asked, "What if the chess pieces get married?"

The old ox sneered and said, "At worst, we can rebel against the Heavenly Palace!"

"Damn it, the old cow is rebelling!"

"Tell them that there is such a thing as running away from marriage in this world."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw the face of Zuo Fu Xingjun in front of him changed, his mouth trembled a little, and he said: "Ahem, fellow Taoist, Taoist companionship is different from marriage. You have to distinguish them clearly. Do you understand?"

He threw the jade as if it had touched fire, and it fell directly into the arms of Lao Niu.

The old ox was slightly stunned.

Immediately I understood something.

His body stiffened, holding the jade, and the stiff bricks, he could almost hear the creaking sound of bones and tendons twisting. He turned his head little by little and saw the North Pole Ziwei Emperor wearing a black robe, holding a folding fan, with a jade crown tied up his hair, and a cold temperament. He said lightly:

"If I regard them as chess pieces."

"So what?"

Old Yellow Ox: “…”
