How could a place like this possibly be a fairyland?
Yang Cheng glanced at the suitcase Gao Benrong was dragging and said casually, "Since we're already here, let's go and meet the Queen Mother of the West."
Uncle Zhuang naturally didn't want to continue walking.
However, seeing that Yang Cheng and Gao Benrong had already made their moves, he naturally didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place, so he followed them up.
However, the further they went, the dimmer the light became, and the surroundings were filled with a thick, foul-smelling fog.
When they reached the mountaintop, the expressions of the two men, apart from Yang Cheng, had changed drastically.
Where is there any fairyland like Yaochi?
Before them appeared a massive white bone portal, seemingly pieced together from countless leg bones, some of which were enormous, as if left by giants.
Behind that portal was an enormous, filthy pool of blood, thick and foul-smelling, with bubbles rising to the surface every now and then.
There was no ethereal mist around, only spider monsters with tumors all over their bodies and human heads crawling out of the holes, constantly spitting out four lines that covered the blood pool.
How could such a terrifying scene, resembling hell, possibly be the legendary Jade Pool Paradise?
Gao Benrong grabbed Uncle Zhuang and said fiercely, "Did you change our location in the underground river? What kind of hellish place have you led us to?"
At this moment, Uncle Zhuang was no longer afraid of Gao Benrong, the commander of the guards. He directly cursed, "The underground river flows all the way to the west, and the shape of the Kunlun Mountains is consistent with the records. Where can I take you?"
If it weren't for Gao Benrong insisting on coming to this godforsaken place, we wouldn't all be dead!
"Now look what's happened! We're trapped in this godforsaken place, surrounded by skeleton demons. We're all going to die!"
Both of them were emotionally distraught and were arguing with each other.
Yang Cheng, however, kept his eyes fixed on the huge bronze box.
He could vaguely sense that there were sounds coming from inside, as if something wanted to leave.
Just then, the blood pool suddenly began to boil.
This unusual movement caused Uncle Zhuang and Gao Benrong to abandon their mutual accusations and nervously watch the blood pool.
As the pool of blood churned, a terrifying and sinister figure emerged from it.
It was a woman dressed in a scarlet robe with cloud patterns, with a noble and dignified face. She wore a jade crown and had a leopard's tail. She grinned at us, and her huge mouth stretched all the way to her ears, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth like a tiger's, making her look incredibly terrifying.
Moreover, when she stepped out of the blood pool, everyone realized that what was embroidered on her scarlet robe with cloud patterns was not cloud patterns, but densely packed, distorted human faces!
This scene was as if the infernal hell was being worn on one's body.
"What the teacher said... was actually true!"
Yang Cheng frowned and asked, "What did your teacher say?"
Uncle Zhuang stammered, "My teacher said that there is a very strange legend about a tribe around Kunlun Mountain. The Queen Mother of the West is not an immortal, but a terrifying monster."
They say that the Queen Mother of the West has the appearance of a human, with a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth, and is good at howling. She has disheveled hair and wears a headdress. She is in charge of the calamities of heaven and the five punishments.
The Si is the place of sacrifice, and the Li is the abode of ghosts. The Wucan is a world-destroying ominous star!
In their view, the Queen Mother of the West is a terrifying evil god who rules over the Netherworld and Purgatory, and once she is born, she will bring disaster to the world!
But that tribe was also a primitive tribe that ate raw meat and drank blood. The teacher thought that the other party was ignorant and would make up these things, but now it seems that what they said was not wrong at all!
In the past, King Mu came here to fall in love with this evil god and seek the elixir of immortality.
Something's wrong! Something's definitely wrong!
King Mu himself had problems!
This so-called westward mission is nothing short of sending us to our deaths!
No wonder the teacher left after finishing the construction of the Nanzheng Palace, and even asked me to leave Haojing as well.
From that time on, the teacher probably noticed that something was wrong with King Mu, but he didn't dare to say it outright.
"You never listen to your teacher!"
Uncle Zhuang seemed to have collapsed, muttering to himself, while Gao Benrong looked on in disbelief.
His Majesty lied to him; His Majesty simply sent him here to his death!
The whole "Western Expedition" and "gifts to the Queen Mother of the West" thing was a complete scam, a scam designed to lure them into a deadly trap!
At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West looked at everyone and spoke in a soft and charming voice.
"Ji Man, have you finally come to see me after all?"
