Chapter 20: Xiang Xuanqing's Arrangement

~7 min read 1,278 words

【Yes!】

Although Shen Xiao was stunned by Meng Wu You's straightforward questioning method, she still gave an affirmative answer.

【You just admitted it like that?】

Meng Wu You was surprised; she waved her hand to change the space, and the two came to a small world for a private chat.

Shen Xiao reached out and tapped Little Jiu's brow, and the little fox fell into a deep sleep in her arms.

"What's there not to admit."

Shen Xiao was calm and composed, she said: "Isn't everyone here with a changed identity?"

"Aren't you the same?"

"Can this be the same?"

Seeing Shen Xiao's flat reaction, Meng Wu You realized something was wrong.

She hardened her heart and shouted in a low voice: "Xiang Xuanqing!"

Shen Xiao looked left and right, looking blank: "Are you... calling me?"

Meng Wu You's mouth twitched.

It seems, she guessed wrong.

The style of Qing Qiu has nothing to do with Xiang Xuanqing.

Nine-tailed foxes are just that strange.

Outside.

The sudden departure of Meng Wu You and Shen Xiao made Ying Long suspicious.

"Where did they go?" Ying Long looked at Goddess Qing Xiao.

Goddess Qing Xiao's mouth curled slightly, and a shallow smile appeared on her face: "Who knows."

Ying Long also looked at her suspiciously.

Why is everyone acting weird today?

"Forget it, ignore them."

Ying Long pulled her and walked towards Nv Wa.

"Nv Wa Fellow Daoist said last time that she was preparing for the opening of heaven, let's ask how she is preparing."

"Do you want to go and observe?"

"Of course, don't you want to?"

"There's no need for that..."

Goddess Qing Xiao looked at Ying Long: "Don't you often go into chaos to open heaven and create the world?"

Ying Long shook her head: "That's different. My previous attempts were just some trials, small stuff."

"Besides being able to increase cultivation, there's no particularly great use."

"Nv Wa Fellow Daoist seems to be planning something big!"

Netherworld.

Xiang Xuanqing suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.

"Eh? Why is Wu You thinking of me?"

The incessant voice of Meng Wu You came to Xiang Xuanqing's mind.

"I don't seem to have offended her recently, right?" Xiang Xuanqing muttered to himself.

The Netherworld is different from the Primordial land; it is the yin side of the Supreme True Realm, originally a world of dead souls, thus lacking vitality.

All in all, there are only three and a half innate Great Deities in the Netherworld in this era.

He and Meng Wu You count as two.

Ming He's relationship with the Netherworld is special, so he can count as one.

The true spirit of the Wang Chuan River awakened relatively late and hasn't fully grown yet, counting as half.

With few people, there are few conflicts.

So their relationships are relatively good.

Xiang Xuanqing and Ming He are in Taiwei Yuan, and Meng Wu You knows this.

Meng Wu You often visits Western Western Kunlun Xu, and they know this too.

It's just that Xiang Xuanqing has many alt accounts; generally, Meng Wu You and Ming He don't ask, and he rarely takes the initiative to explain.

For example, Xiang Xuanqing really has an arrangement in Western Western Kunlun Xu.

It's just not a Dao body, but an innate spiritual treasure.

An innate spiritual treasure that has transformed.

"She wouldn't have been discovered, would she?" Xiang Xuanqing thought for a moment.

Nv Qing's original body is a law book, which Xiang Xuanqing obtained by chance while traveling. Since Xiang Xuanqing himself is not very short of spiritual treasures.

So he didn't take it with him.

Instead, he planned to cultivate another innate deity for the Netherworld.

After all, his Netherworld is really short of people.

Saving a God of Law and Order for the future team, why not?

So, he helped Nv Qing transform.

And conveniently found a blessed cave heaven for the other party to settle down.

By chance, Nv Qing joined Western Western Kunlun Xu and became one of the Tai Su Nine Heavens, Goddess Qing Xiao.

Even more coincidentally, Meng Wu You was also there.

Xiang Xuanqing always thought that Nv Qing should have contacted Meng Wu You long ago and confessed her identity.

As it turned out, she didn't.

Meng Wu You also didn't discover the connection between Nv Qing and Xiang Xuanqing at all.

In Xiang Xuanqing's mind, Meng Wu You was still nagging.

"Xiang Xuanqing, you just wait for me!"

Xiang Xuanqing was baffled.

He came before Mount Du Shuo.

"Fellow Daoist!"

The spirit of the Divine Peach Tree came out and bowed to Xiang Xuanqing.

Xiang Xuanqing returned the salute: "Are you still getting used to staying here, Fellow Daoist?"

"Used to it, used to it!" The Divine Peach Tree thought Xiang Xuanqing was here to discipline it, so it hurriedly replied:

"If I had known that the Netherworld had a Fellow Daoist, I wouldn't have run around everywhere!"

It was talking about the time it carried Mount Du Shuo and ran around.

Xiang Xuanqing smiled: "I am also very happy that Fellow Daoist can sincerely settle in the Netherworld."

"I have a request here, I want to see what Fellow Daoist thinks?"

The Divine Peach Tree didn't dare to be slow, "Please speak!"

"It's like this, now that the rules of my Netherworld have changed, the Ghost Gate Pass has become the only portal to the Netherworld."

"I want to place the Ghost Gate Pass on Mount Du Shuo on weekdays and have you guard the entrance to the Netherworld, Fellow Daoist. I wonder what you think?"

Hearing this, the Divine Peach Tree was stunned on the spot.

"Fellow Daoist trusts me this much?" It was quite puzzled.

Xiang Xuanqing laughed: "No choice, my Netherworld deities are scarce, I can only entrust this important task to you, Fellow Daoist."

The Divine Peach Tree was silent.

"I agree to this matter."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!" Xiang Xuanqing didn't hesitate to share the authority of the Netherworld formation.

He pushed his hand, and the Ghost Gate Pass was hung back on the northeast branch of the Divine Peach Tree's main trunk.

Xiang Xuanqing had completely mastered the Ghost Gate Pass; when using the teleportation ability in reverse, he didn't need the spiritual treasure on his person.

He explained it to the Divine Peach Tree.

His attitude was sincere, making the Divine Peach Tree feel heavier in its heart.

"Alright, I won't disturb you, Fellow Daoist. I hope you can transform as soon as possible, Fellow Daoist, so I can be more at ease!" Xiang Xuanqing wished, then turned and went down the mountain.

Looking at the gradually receding figure.

The silent Divine Peach Tree suddenly called out to Xiang Xuanqing.

"My name is Shen Tu!"

Xiang Xuanqing looked back.

Only to see the spirit of the Divine Peach Tree split into two, no longer as blurry as before, and its figure gradually became clear.

"Or, you can call me Yu Lei!"

The two true spirits bowed to Xiang Xuanqing, one on the left and one on the right.

Xiang Xuanqing smiled.

"Learned quite fast!"

Very good, from now on, the Netherworld will have one more qualified innate Great Deity!

Note: 【Shen Tu】 pronunciation (shenshu); 【Yu Lei】 pronunciation (yulu)

Wang Chong of the Han Dynasty's "Lun Heng · Ding Gui" cites "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "There is Mount Du Shuo... on it are two divine men, one called Shen Tu, one called Yu Lei, who mainly read and lead ten thousand ghosts." Today's "Classic of Mountains and Seas" does not have this text.
