Chapter 45: One Year's Journey
In this world, Empress Shiji can be regarded as a rare strong person.
Its body is a stubborn stone, which opened up spiritual wisdom during the Xuanhuang Period - the so-called Xuanhuang Period is the era of the demon clan.
In other words, this is a great demon immortal with extremely ancient origins.
The era of the demon clan has been destroyed, but this great demon immortal has never been liquidated. Instead, he turned into a demon and became an immortal. He lives as a demon immortal until now.
Ao Bing clearly remembers that in Nezha's background, he had a conflict with Empress Shiji.
First he shot to death the Biyun boy who was sitting under the Shiji Empress.
Then when Li Jing took him up the mountain to apologize, he beat Caiyun boy to death, and then fought with Empress Shiji.
In the end, during the fight, both Hun Tianling and Qiankun Circle were taken away by Empress Shiji.
Finally, when Empress Shiji went to Qianyuan Mountain to seek an explanation from Master Taiyi, she was plotted by Master Taiyi and died under the cover of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire.
Ao Bing has personally witnessed the power of the Qiankun Circle and Huntian Ling. Empress Shiji can take away these two spiritual treasures in person, which shows how powerful they are.
While being powerful, Empress Shiji's character can also be said to be extremely gentle, even to the point of being soft and soft.
She is a rare kind-hearted fairy.
After Nezha accidentally shot Biyun boy to death, Empress Shiji recognized the sky-shaking arrow and immediately came to Chentangguan to get Li Jing.
For those immortals and gods, boys are their closest servants, and just like children, when they grow up, they will basically accept them as disciples and pass on the Taoism.
If it were any other immortal god, if a child around him was killed, such a thing would have already turned against him.
However, Empress Shiji, instead of taking action directly, was willing to listen to Li Jing explain the reasons in detail and give Li Jing a chance to apologize.
When Nezha went up the mountain to apologize and took advantage of the situation and beat Caiyun boy to death, Empress Shiji did not have any murderous intention. Even if she chased him to Jinguang Cave, she just wanted an explanation and an apology.
As for Nezha’s relatives and parents, Empress Shiji never harmed them at all.
The gentleness of his character is evident.
However, Master Taiyi used himself to save others, and he only regarded the dead boy's hatred as an undying hatred. He also doted on Nezha and favored him. Did he have the intention to kill before taking action, so he killed Empress Shiji? Introducing a trap and burning him to death with the Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover, it was all over.
Of course, in the final analysis, this matter still lies in the extremely poor education of Master Taiyi.
Fortunately in this life, Ao Bing figured out the cause and effect with Nezha early, and specially made friends with Mrs. Yin, so that Mrs. Yin knew the shortcomings of Nezha's character, and knew that Taiyi Zhenren was educating Due to his omissions, in front of Master Taiyi, he threatened to break out of the house with Nezha, so Master Taiyi strengthened his education on Nezha and changed Nezha's temperament.
And now, Nezha and Ao Bing go out together, and there is no chance to shoot the sky-shaking arrow. The inexplicable murder of Empress Shiji is naturally gone.
Speaking of which, in Ao Bing’s initial plan, if he could not make friends with Mrs. Yin and resolve his grudges with Nezha through Mrs. Yin, he would make friends with Empress Shiji and use this ancient Powerful fairies come to buy time for themselves to grow up.
In terms of Empress Shiji's strength, as long as she was prepared, she would not die easily under the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover no matter what.
This time, although I don’t have to take care of Empress Shiji, I still have to fulfill the due etiquette.
After paying homage to Empress Shiji, Ao Bing took Nezha and continued to the southwest.
On the way, Nezha naturally couldn't help but mention the powerful demon fairy Shiji - in his perception, Shiji Empress was the most powerful existence he had ever seen. .
When he first entered Skull Mountain, Nezha did not hesitate to be extremely vigilant. Qiankun Circle and Hun Tianling were both eager to try.
It's not Nezha's fault. The environment in Skull Mountain is really too dangerous.
It was deserted, lifeless, and the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.
At a glance, there are bones everywhere. This Skeleton Mountain is really just like its name, it is a mountain formed by countless skeletons.
The location of the Bone Cave is an extremely huge skull.
Looking at the past, this is an extremely dangerous place of death - who would have thought that the owner of this place would be a well-spoken and true cultivator?
Even if Ao Bing knew from the beginning that the owner of Skull Mountain, Shiji Empress, had a gentle temperament, he still had some doubts when he stepped into Skull Mountain.
Not to mention Nezha, who has a explosive temper and hates evil as much as he hates it.
Of course, after meeting with Empress Shiji and having some exchanges, Ao Bing and Nezha finally understood the reason why Skull Mountain is so terrifying.
This was originally an extremely brutal battlefield in ancient times, where countless creatures died.
After death, the grievances of those living beings remain. Empress Shiji practices here to eliminate the boundless grievances with the "Sutra of Shang Qing Ling Bao Saving People".
It was precisely because she was worried that resentment would hurt others that Empress Shiji used a formation to seal off the Skeleton Mountain.
Ever since the demon tribe was expelled, Empress Shiji has been sitting here. Except for occasionally returning to Jin'ao Island to pay a visit to the Saint of Jiejiao, or being invited by some friends to visit, she has never visited. Take a step beyond Skull Island.
While chatting, Empress Shiji also mentioned an old incident: decades ago, when she visited a friend in Kunlun Mountain, she once saved a mortal.
And that mortal's name is Li Jing - who happens to be Nezha's father.
...
“I really didn’t realize that Empress Shiji was really kind-hearted.” Nezha recalled the experience of communicating with Empress Shiji, and then thought about his suspicion of her. and doubt, and couldn't help but look ashamed.
"Between heaven and earth, no matter whether you are a good person or a bad person, you will not write the words good or bad on your face." Ao Bing took Nezha's roasted turtle meat and took a bite.
“It’s nothing more than listening to his words and watching his actions.”
“That’s all.”
"However, no matter who you are facing, no matter what the reputation is, before you get to know him, you will never be wrong if you are wary of him."
"The third brother is right." Nezha He nodded and turned to mention some of the heavenly things he saw along the way, with a particularly indignant look on his face.
At this time, it has been more than a year since they went out.
Along the way, the two of them passed by more than twenty gods’ mansions and Xianmen sects.
While passing through these places, Ao Bing executed hundreds of death row prisoners.
When Ao Bing was killing the prisoners on death row, Nezha also took action frequently, killing some immortals who bumped into his hands, or directly looking for the evil gods and evil immortals to kill them.
There is a righteous god in heaven, and another who explains the true teachings. One is well-informed and knows the darkness of people's hearts. The other is holding a spiritual treasure. When he does not use his hands, he is no different from a mortal. When he moves his hands, he is like a mortal. The sky is collapsing and the earth is collapsing. Such a combination is simply a dimension-reducing blow to those ordinary gods.
During this process, before the execution of those death row prisoners, many immortals and gods also staged a lot of dramas around the identities of those death row prisoners, which can be said to have brought together all kinds of things in the world. All displayed in front of Ao Bing and Nezha.
Similarly, this also made Nezha full of contempt for these so-called immortals and gods in heaven and earth.
Because the calculations of the immortals and gods he saw along the way surrounding the death row prisoners were too dark and despicable.
It is precisely because of this that Nezha is more and more willing to mention the Shiji Empress.
“Get some rest, we should be able to reach Huashan tomorrow.” Ao Bing puffed up his energy and tempered his mana and blood.
"Xiyue!" Nezha put away Huntian Ling, the fierceness in his eyes disappeared in a flash.
