At this time, the Hokyung royal family was immersed in joy, at least on the surface, everyone's faces were filled with smiles. When the peach demon arrived, Zhou Tianzi Ji Man and the Queen Mother of the West, together with the concubines and ministers, watched the puppet show in the brightly lit hall. Everyone was stunned. , except that it is said to be wood, it is no different from ordinary people, and the peach demon is also amazed by it. She was not so anxious to pull up the Queen Mother of the West and go to the extreme north. At the end of the performance, the puppet actually bowed to Zhou Tianzi, and only then did Tao Yao discover the man who was manipulating the puppet in the dark, an old man with a white beard.
The white-bearded old man was about to come forward to kowtow, but the puppet suddenly winked at the Queen Mother of the West, just in time to be seen by Zhou Tianzi Ji Man. How could his Ji Man's woman be coveted by others? This puppet is said to be made of wood, but it looks like a person at all! Zhou Tianzi Ji Man suddenly got angry and said, "Someone, tear it down! How dare you openly flatter my bride!" The white-bearded old man hurriedly stepped forward and begged for mercy, dismantling it with trembling hands, and what fell on the ground was actually wood, Pig skin, pig heart, pig liver, pig lung... Everyone secretly marveled at the craftsmanship of the white-bearded old man, and carefully observed Ji Man's expression.
Ji Man raised his hand, ordered someone to deal with the bloody ground, and rewarded the old white-bearded man again. Just as the old white-bearded man was about to retire, Ji Man asked his name again. The peach demon in the dark suddenly straightened up and stared at the white-bearded old man, looking forward to his answer.
The white-bearded old man bent down and bowed, and replied, "Back to the king, the grassman's name is Master Yan."
Master Yan! Yes, that's him! Yuan Niang has been waiting for her fiance all her life! Be good at being a puppet, called Master Yan!
He retreated, and Tao Yao followed.
I didn't look for it, so I met it unexpectedly, and Tao Yao suddenly felt that this was the luck that she had never had before.
The guard led him to the residence and left, Tao Yao pushed the door and entered, she felt that it would be better to make some noise to meet him, so as not to scare him. Master Yan turned around and saw a girl he had never seen before. He was a little surprised, got up with difficulty, and asked, "I don't know who the girl is?"
Tao Yao smiled, feeling that he should be very kind, and said, "I am from the Xu country. I heard that the old gentleman is also from the Xu country. I can't help myself when I am happy. Don't be surprised if I disturb the old gentleman in the middle of the night." The teacher performed a meeting ceremony of Xu Guo.
Master Yan looked at it and said quickly: "Where is it! Girl, please take a seat."
Tao Yao sat down on her knees, Master Yan poured her a cup of hot tea, and Tao Yao said, "I have been away from Xu for many years. I don't know when Mr. left?"
Master Yan stroked his beard, as if he was reminiscing. After a while, he replied slowly, "It's been decades! Since I joined the army, I haven't set foot in my homeland again." Well, hurry away, hurry away.
"Is Xu Guo long without the old man's relatives?" Tao Yao asked impatiently.
Master Yan looked at the lamp in the high place and did not make a sound for a while.
Tao Yao added: "I have no father and no mother. I grew up eating food for hundreds of families. Later, I was taken in by a widow who sold wine in Sishui City. Her husband went to join the army like an old gentleman, and never again When she came back, she had no children and no daughters, and treated me like her own daughter. It was not until she died a few years ago that I was forced to leave Xu. Looking at Master Yan, he continued: "By the way, her name is Yuanniang. I wonder if you know the old gentleman?"
Tao Yao looked at him quietly, at his surprise, at the trembling of the corners of his mouth, and at his wet eyes. At this moment, she was finally relieved. No matter whether he married a wife or not, he always remembered her. , and it is not in vain that Yuanniang has waited for him all her life.
Master Yan shook his hands, looked directly at Tao Yao and asked, "She has passed away?" Tao Yao nodded affirmatively and said, "Before she died, what she cared about most was her fiance who never returned. Said, 'I haven't waited for him in the world, maybe he has been waiting for me in the underworld. If he is not in the underworld, then I will wait for him in the underworld."
I saw Master Yan's old tears, his lips trembling, his whole body trembling, but he couldn't say a word. The wind blows and the lights flicker, but it can no longer blow away his sadness at this time.
"Master Yan, you are the one who Yuanniang has waited all her life for is not enough." Tao Yao's voice was a little cold, "Why didn't you go back?"
"I'm back, why can't I go back? On the day I went back, the wine shop was closed, and the neighbors said that Yuan Niang had entered the palace and became the godmother of the son Yan. I lost a leg and felt that I was no longer worthy of it. Get on her and leave. I should stay, at least meet her once! I should stay! I should stay!" He kept repeating "I should stay", wiping tears, But it couldn't be wiped off.
Tao Yao drank the cup of hot tea and wanted to disperse the chill in her heart. At this moment, she suddenly felt a little disgusted with "silently", silently giving, silently bearing! He doesn't know, he doesn't know that means miss! There is also the "feeling of inferiority", she suddenly became disgusted at this moment, or the world first had a sense of pride, and then those creatures learned to be proud and complacent, so that the slightly weaker creatures had inferiority; or In this world, there is a sense of inferiority first, and then those creatures are used to being timid, cowardly, pessimistic and cautious, so that the slightly more confident creatures are proud!
The peach demon disappeared in front of his eyes, but he didn't notice it. She went straight into the ghost gate and entered the underworld, leaving the two immortals Yu Lei and Shen Tu to look at each other. Shen Tu wiped his eyes with a look of disbelief, and asked Yu Lei, "Is the peach demon who just entered?" Yu Lei blinked, and after a while, he seemed to recover, and nodded towards Shen Tu. "Why is she in a bad mood recently?" Shen Tu said. "She was in a better mood before?" Yu Lei replied. Shen Tu was speechless.
Only after entering the gate of hell, she stopped, the ever-flowing river of forgetfulness, the undefeated other shore, the Sansheng Stone that cannot be removed, the Naihe Bridge that cannot be stepped on, she dare not take a step forward, nothing has changed, but it is clear that Everything is so different, she clearly knows that it is because of the difference that the splendor and colorfulness of the world is created, but she can't take that step! At that time, Master Yan was not like this. He spent all his efforts to return to his homeland, but was defeated by the difference! Tao Yao gave up Dushuo Mountain, and consciously harmed Yan Wang and Meng Xiaoxiao! Because Master Yan lost his leg, Yuan Niang became the godmother of Young Master Yan!
These are different from bystanders, or they are not a problem, but for them, it is too difficult to cross at that moment! Tao Yao took a few steps back, turned around resolutely, and walked out of the ghost gate.
"Tao Yao, you are back." Shen Tu said to Tao Yao, his voice full of joy.
Tao Yao looked at the ghost gate, looked at Shen Tu and replied, "I was about to fight the new Hades, but I went in and found that the new Hades didn't blame me, so I had to give up." She didn't answer. Shen Tu's question, when she opened her mouth, she only thought of this reason, she didn't lie, she wanted to beat the new Hades a long time ago, but there is really no reason to bully her as old as she is. Small is really not suitable.
"Then when are you coming back?" Shen Tu would always ask some very direct questions.
Yu Lei also wanted to know when she would come back.
"I'll have to wait until I think of a good reason to fight the new Hades!" The peach demon looked up and saw the bright galaxy through the gaps in the peach trees, "If you see a ghost named Yuanniang, tell her that she The person waiting is still in the world, let her wait, she will wait. No, Yu Lei, you will find her now, and tell her. I will think of the reason." But, "come again" and "come back" It means completely different!
Yu Lei watched her disappear in front of his eyes, and the words "I'm going to look for myself" in his mouth hadn't had time to say.
"I think the peach demon is different." Shen Tu said.
"She remembered Peng Xiao!" Yu Lei said in a calm tone, "But Peng Xiao actually disappeared into the Three Realms!"
"Ah!!!!" Shen Tu was stunned, "How do you know?"
"How can I be like you." Yu Lei said, he felt the trembling of the peach tree beside him, he suddenly wanted to laugh, and then he really showed a smile, which was fleeting.
"Peng Xiao has disappeared!" Shen Tu said, "How is that possible?! The Emperor of Heaven has disappeared, and I don't believe that Peng Xiao will disappear, unless... unless, like in the past, Tao Yao makes him disappear! But, Tao Yao will never. Do you do this?! She only remembered him, and Peng Xiao would never be so stupid! Then why did Peng Xiao disappear?! There is only one possibility, he disappeared by himself? I know! The demon fought too badly, so in order to calm down the peach demon, it disappeared. The peach demon has a bad temper! It must be like this!" The more Shen Tu thought about it, the more he felt that he had improved a lot over the years.
In the darkness, Yu Lei also saw Shen Tu's radiance, feeling rather helpless, and said, "If you are a human, you should have read more."
Shen Tu began to refute, Yu Lei looked straight ahead, and if he stopped talking, he saw Tao Mo hurriedly flying towards the heaven. No one except Tao Yao could make Tao Mo disappear from the Three Realms, of course, except herself. Peng Xiao disappeared and can come back. If he can get someone's wait and hope, only one peach demon is enough. Too much will owe him a debt for no reason. He guessed that Taomo would not choose to wait, she would choose a more extreme way, because her world was colored by Peng Xiao, without him, life would be better than death! But Tao Yao is different, she can only wait, she can only work hard, she can only hope, she has no choice!
"Do you think Peng Xiao will come back?" Shen Tu asked.
"You asked the same question a long time ago, and he finally came back." Yu Lei replied.
"But that time he was frozen?" Shen Tu asked.
"I'll be back!" Yu Lei replied. "I'm afraid we can't wait for that day." He kept these words in his heart.
