Fragrant Blossoms and Exotic Herbs

e days, there aren't many real monks. Some have been ordained for many years but choose to return to lay life.The teachings of native Buddhism emphasize tranquil meditation and compassion, but many te...The mountain wind was biting, with a ghostly wail echoing through the air.

A place of utter desolation, where no blade of grass dares to grow, and even the springs flow silently, devoid of any life force.

To say "angry" in the underworld seems rather comical.

This place has always been a desolate wasteland. Where could there be the aura of living beings from the mortal realm

Even the underworld's throng of minor deities are vibrant, and even though the surrounding scenery never changes for millennia, it makes me feel like this is a normal place, where I can talk, laugh, and smile.

And the silence at the foot of the mountain was indescribable.

"Below, there were gloomy clouds and mist, no sound, no light, forever a gray expanse. We could hear the wind in the mountains, but down below, there was not a sound."

Bai Wu Chang, with a smile, raised a slender finger to point at his own ear: "The things below don't have hearing."

"Why is this happening" I stared at the silent carnage and devouring below, my brow furrowed deeply.

Bai Wu Chang smiled and said, "This is a rule that has been formed millions of years ago. Eyes can't see, but hearing becomes more sensitive. If your ears can't hear, even if your eyes can see, your body will become sluggish and increasingly so, wasting away all the strength of these evil ghosts and demons, eventually becoming someone else's food. The less they eat, the smaller they become, until there is only one left."

I didn't quite understand, so I asked: "What about if there's only one left Destroy that one"

"Hahaha... Where needs to be destroyed There's only one left, he can only wait for his own destruction."

There are no opponents, and there is no food.

"The Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.... Xu Wei Shan is the opposite. When it comes down to only one, it will eventually return to 'zero'." Bai Wu Chang said calmly.

I stole a glance at him, Bai WuChang was indeed in a bad mood, he didn't even tease me.

His serious explanation actually made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Qīyé...that is, aren't you in a bad mood" I secretly glanced at his face.

Seven's evil eyes twitched mischievously, and he chuckled wickedly, "My Lady, you have so much free time. Why don't you help me keep watch here I'll go to the front mountain for some tea."

"Farewell, it's still Qiyé you here, I don't understand anything…"

"You don't need to understand, just sit still." He drifted out of the pavilion with a laugh, covering his mouth and saying, "Little princess, don't leave on your own, okay I'll be right back~~"

Before I could refuse, he vanished in a flash.

My goodness, there's a bunch of demons and monsters fighting down there. In such a dangerous and gloomy place, you want me to "hold the fort" I'd be on pins and needles!

>

I nodded helplessly and said, "Eight Master, save me."

Black無常 shook his head helplessly, letting out a sigh. He crossed his legs at the long table and unfurled a scroll, saying: “My Lady, as you can see, the main problem is that this thing is causing havoc in Xuwei Mountain.”

The scroll inside, like a circle of light magic, shows a two-headed serpent creature battling and tearing at each other.

The more I look, the more frightened I become. I've seen this monster's two heads before...

"Aren't these the two little demons" I asked.

"Yes, the divine beast Xuanming dropped one, and Your Majesty the Emperor captured one. The two little demons quickly fused together in order to survive here," Heiwuchao nodded.

"What is that snake-like tail behind them"

“Their first target was Xie Chang'an. Xie Chang'an merged with the snake demon, his body able to shed its skin. After being swallowed, he became this double-headed serpent form, making quite a commotion. We have to keep a close watch on him, although this interdimensional formation was set by the Purple Micro Emperor and it's impossible to escape, our underworld deities still need to guard it vigilantly until the little demon perishes.”

"I asked apprehensively, "Will it perish Is there any way to escape"

Hei Wu Chang pondered for a moment before nodding. "As long as they have blood, they can travel and hide, so the Blood Pool Hell isn't suitable for them. The Xuwei Mountain has a divine punishment once every five hundred years. When the next divine punishment arrives, it will destroy all the demons and monsters here, turning their bones into mud. We only need to keep watch."

He paused for a moment and said, "You're here just in time. There are some documents that need the Emperor's Divine Seal, so I'd trouble you to give your approval. It would also lighten the Emperor's burden."

I feel a bit guilty, Jiang Qiyun did extra things for me. Of course, I won't refuse to help him get a stamp since he put in so much effort. Last time, it was Xiaonie who helped out.

Heihei had been by my side the whole time, guiding me. I didn't realize Jiang Qiyun had arrived until I finished the last document. My hands ached so much that when I lifted them up to shake them out, I saw Jiang Qiyun smiling with half-closed eyes.

"Finally, you're starting to look a little more like a lady." He laughed as he pulled me up.

I curled my lip and said, "What a little princess! I'm just standing in for the Seventh Lord! The Seventh Lord is off sipping tea while I'm here, not even allowed a drop of water! My mouth is so dry..."

Before I could finish my string of complaints, Jiang Qiyun suddenly leaned down and lightly bit my lips. His icy tongue slowly glided across my lip.

The icy coldness, thread by thread, was refreshing and I had no resistance to his closeness.

I licked my lips, it seemed... drier.

"Ahem, ahem, this subordinate shall take his leave." The Eighth Master's black face was awkward to the point of being stiff as a shield.

I kind of awkwardly scratched my nose, I've been so busy lately that I completely forgot about our sweet moments together.

"Why wouldn't you let them have some tea if they're thirsty" Jiang Qiyun was very calm. Once he made a decision, his skin became as thick as it could be!

"Forgotten...and what place is this Not even the mood for a cup of tea... Even Qilang went to the front mountain for tea!"

Jiang Qiyun let out a cold snort: "Him I think he's just lazy and went to find his wife."

Pffft....

"No way You found it There's a lead" I couldn't help but get gossipy too. Qi Ye is truly the gossip king of the underworld, every move he makes is just pure drama!

Jiang Qiyun glanced at me inexplicably: "Of course there's a whereabouts, just jumping back to the well. Could he jump out of Mount Wuzhi in the underworld I knew where it was long ago, but since he just entered reincarnation, he'll have to wait."

He looked at me and chuckled softly, "Let him taste what it's like to grow up alone..."

I wonder if people in love all feel this way, like me. After having a child, I find everything my partner says and does unbearably sweet.

I hugged Jiang Qiyun's waist and rubbed my face against his chest.

This implies, don't be too obvious.

Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow, tapped my forehead with a finger, and said with a wicked smile: "The evil poison hasn't been removed yet, you dare to flirt with me Aren't you afraid of the Yin Qi entering your body and making your heart fire even stronger"

"Don't be afraid, I can just go back to Purple Yang Peak and plant flowers and grass."

Jiang Qiyun showed a satisfied smile, scooped me up in his arms and said: "Very good, you said this yourself. For the next three days, if you dare to leave Ziyang Peak, humph..."ar intensified."He knows." I didn't want to waste time talking to him. If he was scared and something happened to him, we'd be in trouble too. After all, it was us who suggested dismantling the altar...
