urst through the other end of the gate.I saw familiar scenery, a majestic and exquisite palace complex, surrounded by towering peaks.But—Everything is under my feet!!!A tremendous surge of air slammed...Jiang Qiyun was startled It seems this young lady has quite the determination.

The Celestial Emperor summoned the Matchmaker and asked, “How is this to be resolved” The Matchmaker smiled and said, “Their fates were intertwined in their past lives,” then the Celestial Emperor told the Seventh Official to handle it himself and not ruin the reputation of the Forgetfulness Altar.

...This kind of solution is really out of the blue.

I can just imagine what kind of expression he had on his face when he said that.

She must have a languid tone but piercing eyes, staring at Qiyee so that he deals with his own debts.

"Later, the Seventh Yama stayed with her and didn't let her be reborn." Meng Shu giggled. "All of this happened a thousand years ago."

My brother couldn't help but complain: "Are you guys in the underworld this bored You're still so excited about something that happened a thousand years ago! One piece of gossip can last this long"

"It's boring to begin with! You try standing under the Mengwang platform every day and handing out soul-calming soup to ghosts, one hand at a time for a thousand years! Sometimes I wish there were ghosts who wouldn't listen. If they didn't listen, I could bully them and have some fun, hee hee." Meng Shu giggled.

"What does the Bewitching Soup actually taste like I didn't get to try it last time either..." I couldn't help but ask.

"Who told you not to drink! But luckily you didn't... If you had, you might have had an accident and forgotten about the Emperor, what then! Wouldn't we be wiped out!" She muttered with lingering fear.

Meng Shu told us that actually, the mind-altering soup is like alcohol.

However, the inside has all the flavors: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, just like the complex emotions of life.

Then a cup of intoxicating wine went down, completely forgetting all the things in this life, easily going to be reborn.

"Why did the Ghost Mother run away again Since she was so obsessed with Seventh Uncle, even the Bewitching Soup couldn't take full effect. Why did she still run" I asked in confusion.

Meng Shu shrugged. “We don’t know about that. The Seventh Lord doesn’t seem to care much for love... It’s the Seventh Lord’s private affair, so we shouldn’t speculate.”

My brother smirked and said, "There are only two reasons why a wife would run away: poverty or abuse. Qiji is a deity and has so many incense offerings from mortals, he definitely wouldn't be poor, so it must be abuse."

"You shouldn't talk nonsense! Even though Qie Ye is frightening, there's no way he would abuse his wife." Meng Shu pouted.

"Tsk, so you gods don't understand human feelings! Is it only beating and scolding that counts as abuse It's also abuse to leave your wife unsatisfied, understand! Seven Ye is so busy every day, and as you said, he doesn't care much about love. So his wife couldn't bear it anymore and ran away from home! Letting him know what it's like when his wife isn't there is understandable!"

They were gossiping about Qi Ye along the way, I didn't dare to chime in. I always felt like Qi Ye would suddenly pop out from behind me, I had a psychological shadow over him, I was scared.

After a long journey, we arrived at a small county town. The stilt houses built along the river were charming and picturesque.

People come and go, lights shine everywhere.

There are carved boats in the river and wine shops and tea houses on the bank, making it a picturesque and quaint ancient town.

Shi Fatzi stopped at a bar on the roadside and swaggered to us, "See I told you it's the most beautiful scenery! Believe it or not All the businesses on this street belong to our tribe."

I widened my eyes, the village's industry Grave robbers had long since started adjusting their industrial structure and vigorously developing the tourism economy, becoming rich and prosperous

Why rush to fight zombies It's better to stay put and be the local lord!

Shi Pangzi boasted about how much income this place generated annually, after taxes were deducted, half of it would be given to the village, and he asked us if we wanted to go in for a sit.

"We're not here on vacation," I reminded him.

"I know, but the gate will only open at a certain time. Right now, we can only wait and find something to do to pass the time," Shi Fatty said to us.

The time between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., that's the 子時, that we can enter.

My brother got out of the car for some fresh air. Meng Shu was so excited she couldn't sit still. Finally, my brother took her for a walk around the area. I stayed in the car, locked the doors, and dozed off under a blanket for a while.

When it was past nine o'clock, the busiest time outside, Jiang Qiyun appeared in the car.

The backseat was cramped, and he leaned down to whisper, "Xiao Qiao"

I was half asleep when he woke me up. I was a little dazed, and he pressed on the acupoints in my lower back, gently rubbing them: "How come you're sleeping alone in the car"

"My brother's just around here somewhere. We have to wait until midnight." I yawned and glanced out the window.

That dragon young man stood not far outside the car, his eyes never leaving my vehicle.

"...He'd been watching for a while, probably afraid you'd get hurt or run away." Jiang Qiyun frowned and looked at my stomach. "How come it looks bigger again"

"The old woman said that the last month was a time of rapid growth, and now it should be done." I lowered my head to look at my water bucket waist.

Before Jiang Qiyun appeared, my waist was 60 centimeters, now it's over 80 centimeters. The old woman said that in the last month, it will grow to over 90 centimeters at least.

My bones ached, and my stomach felt itchy. Jiang Qiyun picked me up and sat me on his lap. He seemed to like this position very much.

But outside, people are coming and going now. Perhaps through the windshield, I might be seen by others. I feel a little uncomfortable and can't help but twist my body, hiding behind the back of the passenger seat.

"Don't move around." He pinched my waist helplessly.

My thigh was brushing against his something, and it was becoming increasingly rigid.

"Right now, there's nothing we can do. Just don't fan the flames, okay Or should I take you to Pure Land of Bliss and cool things down first" Jiang Qiyun pulled me close against his side, letting me lean against his chest.

Such a posture, made me feel as if the mundane world had nothing to do with me.

His embrace is my whole world.

"Xiao Qiao, get up." My brother came to call me. Meng Shu didn't dare sit in the back seat and quietly ran to sit in the co-pilot's seat.

"With my brother-in-law here, we're even bolder! Let's go and see the legendary village for ourselves!"

》》》

Shi Fatzi said this river is called the Yejiang River. Following the river from the county town will lead you to the way.

"Aren't you afraid we'll remember the location of the Dharma Gate" I asked curiously.

"Don't be afraid, we don't want to be enemies with you, we are friends." Shi Fatty tried to build rapport.

That Dragon Little Brother cast a gloomy glance in my direction, obviously having seen Jiang Qiyun.

"Can he see you" I asked.

Jiang Qiyun nodded slightly, coldly glared at Long Xiaogē with her eyes, and Long Xiaogē immediately shifted his gaze.

The Miao people's beliefs differ from those of the Han people. Formerly, there was a rule among corpse-carrying people: they were not to go north of Dongting Lake, east of Jingzhou, west of Fuzhou, or south of Dian Kingdom.

Shi Panzhi's attitude suddenly became so good, he must have discovered Jiang Qiyun's presence. He enthusiastically took on the role of tour guide.

"You see, this is how our village operates—"d my car on the side of the road. Not far away was a dilapidated shrine, a small "temple" dedicated to some deity. After I got out of the car, I went over and lit three incense sticks, not knowing if...
