Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2890

Chapter 1403 Youdu

As the saying goes, those involved are often blinded by their own perspective. Zu An, in his haste to save Yao Ji, forgot the most important thing.

In this world, there is no Six Paths of Reincarnation, no Netherworld. After death, the soul cannot be found. Even if the elixir

of immortality is used to revive the dead, they are merely walking corpses. Xi He was quite surprised: “Isn’t the elixir of immortality said to have the power to bring the dead back to life?”

Qiu Honglei shook her head slightly: “That’s just a misunderstanding from the outside world. In fact, only a very few people on the Queen Mother of the West’s side know about the elixir of immortality’s weakness. We certainly won’t publicize it.”

Zu An felt a chill run through him. Usually resourceful, his mind was now a complete mess.

If the elixir of immortality couldn’t save Yao Ji, wouldn’t the future Goddess of Wushan also cease to exist?

Wouldn’t Pei Mianman also be in danger?

No, since I’ve seen them in my future life, they must have a reason for existing. The key now is to find that reason.

He asked in a deep voice: “Are there no ghosts after people die in this world?”

Qiu Honglei subconsciously looked at Xi He. She had only been in this world for a short time and had been kept in Kunlun by the Queen Mother of the West for a long time, so her understanding of this world was actually limited.

Xi He was somewhat surprised: “Can finding the ghost really bring them back?” “

Simply taking the elixir of immortality from a corpse will indeed turn them into a monster, but as long as there’s a soul, plus the elixir, they can be brought back to life,” Qiu Honglei answered confidently.

Xi He replied, “If they just died, their soul is actually near their body. However, Yao Ji has been dead for some time now, so she should have gone to Youdu.”

“Youdu?” Zu An felt the name was vaguely familiar.

“Legend has it that Youdu is the place where all living beings go after death. It’s extremely mysterious, and the living can’t go there at all,” Xi He frowned.

Qiu Honglei looked at Zu An: “The living can’t, but he should be able to.”

“You’re dead?” Xi He was startled, looking at Zu An nervously.

Qiu Honglei smiled, “Of course not. In the future, he will be the Lord of the Netherworld, able to freely enter and leave the Netherworld.”

Then, she suddenly asked curiously, “Will there be a Lord of Youdu in this world? Will Brother Zu have a conflict of faith with him?”

Xihe’s expression was strange, “There is indeed a Lord of Youdu in this world. It is said to be the Ancestral Witch Houtu. It is said that she never sees outsiders, has a strange personality, and is not easy to get along with.”

“Houtu!” Zu An was somewhat moved. He had encountered Houtu in the fragments of the sealed world last time, and it was under her guidance that he collected the Six Paths Authority and helped her refine the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

“How can we get to Youdu?”

“To get to Youdu, we must pass through the Ghost Gate.” Xihe answered while pondering, “Legend has it that in the middle of the sea, there is a mountain called Dushuo, on which grows a large peach tree that stretches for three thousand miles; the northeast branch of its branches is called the Ghost Gate, the place where all ghosts enter and exit.”

“On the peach tree are two divine beings, one named Shentu and the other Yulei, who are in charge of inspecting all ghosts. All those evil ghosts that harm people are bound by them and fed to a divine beast, a tiger.”

She then comforted him, “You don’t need to worry, Yaoji is just a young girl, she certainly isn’t an evil ghost.”

Zu’an seemed to understand. The Ghost Gate must be the Ghost Gate Pass of later generations. Shentu and Yulei are similar to door gods, or perhaps guardians of the Ghost Gate Pass like Ox-Head and Horse-Face. It seems that they are indeed intricately connected to the Netherworld of later generations.

He hurriedly asked, “Where is Mount Dushuo?”

Xihe shook her head: “Youdu has always been mysterious; no one knows where it is. Many people have searched for Mount Dushuo, but none have found it. However, Donghuang Taiyi holds a high position; he should know.”

“Thank you!” Zu’an said, then hurried off to find Donghuang.

Seeing his rapidly disappearing figure, a hint of melancholy flashed across Xihe’s face.

Qiu Honglei, being a woman herself, sensitively noticed the change in her mood and offered words of comfort: “Sister Xihe, Brother Zu is a man of deep feelings and loyalty. He would do anything to save any confidante in distress, let alone the Goddess of Wushan who has waited for him for tens of thousands of years. He has always felt guilty.”

“Did he save you like that too?” Xihe countered.

“Hmm.” A gentle smile flickered across Qiu Honglei’s face. “Back then, I almost perished, and it was he who found the elixir of immortality and saved me…”

Seeing her happy expression, Xihe felt a pang of jealousy. “Did he save me like that?”

Qiu Honglei’s smile froze, but she reacted quickly. “I don’t really know much about your relationship. I only know that when your reincarnation was in dire straits, it was he who appeared and saved everything.”

“What was my reincarnation like?” Xihe suddenly became interested. “Tell me about it.” “

Your reincarnation and the reincarnation of the one from Guanghan Palace later became sisters…” Qiu Honglei couldn’t help but marvel at the wonder of fate and softly explained to her.

…

Meanwhile, Zu’an found Donghuang Taiyi and explained his purpose.

“Mount Dushuo, why do you want to go there?” Donghuang Taiyi was somewhat surprised.

“I’m looking for someone.”

Seeing that he was unwilling to explain further, Donghuang Taiyi said in a deep voice, “I can tell you, but you must wait three days.”

Zu’an frowned: “Why?”

“You’ve just gotten married. What kind of decorum would it be to leave immediately? Besides, various forces have suspected that you’re an imposter. You must convince the world that Dijun is still in the Heavenly Palace within these three days before I tell you the location of Dushuo Mountain.” Donghuang Taiyi paused. “Otherwise, you absolutely won’t be able to find it on your own.”

Zu’an was silent for a moment, then replied, “Okay!”

Yaoji was the daughter of Emperor Yan, and her soul shouldn’t be in any danger after three more days. Moreover, he truly owed Xihe a great deal.

He returned to his room, and both women looked at him. Xihe asked, “When are we leaving?”

After hearing Qiu Honglei recount Shang Hongyu’s various affairs, her resentment towards Zu’an lessened considerably.

“Three days later.”

“???”

Zu An looked at her tenderly: “Now that we’re getting married, the whole world is watching, of course we can’t leave so early.”

Xi He’s face instantly turned bright red: “We were only getting married for show!”

Zu An laughed: “I am the Heavenly Emperor, you are the Heavenly Empress, with Heaven and Earth as witnesses, and the whole world witnessing the ceremony, how can it be fake?”

“You know it yourself!” Xi He hadn’t expected things to turn out so real, and she was a little flustered.

Qiu Honglei, standing to the side, looked strange: “I won’t disturb you any longer, I’ll come back to find you in three days.”

After saying that, she left quickly without waiting for Xi He to stop her.

Only Xi He was left, feeling flustered. Zu An gently took her hand: “Although we will be together in the future, it will be in secret in both lifetimes. Now we can finally give you a wedding openly, let’s not leave any regrets.”

Xihe bit her lip, her mind in turmoil: “But if we really get together, won’t we be following a predetermined history, and then you’ll shoot down…our child!”

Zu’an gently hugged her: “Trust me, I’ll find a way to solve this problem.”

“How?”

“Let’s create the child first.”

“???”
