Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 8: The secret of the queen

When I woke up in the morning, I saw An Ti's excited expression.

"Yesterday's dream was so interesting," he whispered in my ear, "so dreaming is such an interesting thing, I will dream every night from now on!"

"What?" I glared at him, "Hurry up and think about how to help me."

"Okay, okay." He nodded repeatedly.

After listening to him for a long time, I figured it out. It turns out that Pluto’s earrings are usually not taken off, but Pluto will go to the human world to inspect every hundred years. Before that, Pluto will have a similar For the cleansing ceremony, he needs to immerse his whole body in a special kind of dark water so that his body can adapt to the human world. During this ritual, Hades had to remove all objects, including his earrings.

Fortunately, it is exactly a hundred years since Pluto's last inspection, so three days later will be the day when Pluto will hold the ceremony. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is only once in a lifetime. When An Ti will let me enter the place where the ceremony is held, I will look for a chance to use the same purple earrings to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix.

"So what do you do when you get the earring?" he asked.

"I..." I didn't know how to answer for a moment. Once I get it, I will immediately call Si Yin to leave here. However, it seems that it is not suitable to tell An Ti about this matter.

"Good people do it to the end. I will wait for you outside the door. As long as you get the earrings, I..." He paused, "I will send you to Tomita and back to the human world immediately."

"But will Pluto find out?" I suddenly felt a little guilty. After all, he is also Pluto's subordinate, but now I ask him to help me steal Pluto's things... If Pluto finds out that the earring is Fake...

A smile flashed across his face, and he blinked, "He won't find out, because I will also use Dream Phantom to create an identical orange manjusawa flower in the fake earrings."

"Anti..." I was suddenly moved. In fact, he is also a kind child.

Three days later, when Pluto began to purify himself, with the help of An Ti, I slipped into Pluto's palace very smoothly. It really is different to have help.

I slipped into the inner hall as fast as I could, and before I had time to take a look, I heard the maid's footsteps outside. Quickly rolled under the bed. As soon as he hid under the bed, he heard the voice of a maid, "Master Pluto's ornaments are really beautiful." Then the voice of another maid rang again, "Be careful, Mr. Pluto told you not to touch it."

The maid before hastily responded. The two approached the bed, seemed to put something on the bed, said a few words and left in a hurry.

Hearing their footsteps going away, I crawled out from under the bed and looked up to the bed impatiently. There was a small box on the bed, which contained a purple crystal necklace and a Pair of purple earrings.

I was overjoyed, and took out the fake earrings that An Ti had given me from my bosom. I was about to change them, but hesitated. There seems to be... a headache.

A pair of identical earrings, which one is the one with manjusawa? I can't use spells, so I'm really not sure which one it should be?

How about taking both of them? Although if you do this, Pluto will find out soon, but I can summon Si Yin now, I can go back soon, and I can save Asuka soon. Thinking of this, I can't think about the consequences. Earrings, just when his fingers touched one of the earrings, the earring suddenly gave off a faint orange halo, and actually moved a bit. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't dazzled when the earring popped out of the box, fell to the floor, and continued to roll.

My lips trembled, the monster earring... I didn't have time to think about it, I quickly bent down and chased the earring, until I reached the door, and finally caught the earring. I breathed a sigh of relief, looked not far away, couldn't help gasping, my body froze in place, I felt a rush of blood rushing straight to my brain... I couldn't think about anything...

What caught my eye was a pair of black boots. I remember An Ti told me that they were a gift from the Goddess of the Night to Pluto.

Then...

My mind was in a turmoil, the earring I was holding in my hand suddenly moved, I let go of my hand, and only heard a few crisp sounds, all the earrings fell to the ground, including the fake earring.

Iris bent down quickly and picked up all three earrings. The moment he bent over, he glanced at me, and the coolness in those gray eyes made me shudder.

"He actually wanted to steal my earrings." His tone was still cold, but my heart was beating faster and faster. He picked up one of the earrings, took a breath, and saw the same as last time, an orange manjusawa bloomed out of the earring, with a trace of disdain on his face, he actually snipped off the earring Duo Hua, "Do you think you can fool me, Elise?"

I was even more shocked, the manjusawa flower of An Ti was almost exactly the same, how could Elias know it was a fake just by looking at it? Didn't An Ti say that Pluto wouldn't find out...

Could it be that he - lied to me again?

"No one can forge this manjusawa flower of mine." He glanced at me lightly, "Besides me, as long as anyone touches this earring, the earring will automatically return to my side. "

I was shocked, no wonder the earring can move by itself.

"Why do you want to steal this earring?" His eyes were as cold as ice.

"Because," I took a deep breath, "because I need this manjusawa inside."

He stared at me firmly, with a strange look on his face, "Do you know what's special about this manjusawa flower?"

I hesitated for a while, and suddenly remembered what An Ti said, and blurted out: "Could it be related to Laya, Queen of the Underworld?"

His face changed slightly, "You actually know about the Empress Dowager?" He looked into the distance, "It must be An Ti who told you. Unexpectedly, he..."

My heart tightened, it's too bad, I've hurt An Ti...

He was silent for a while, picked up the real earring, blew gently, and an orange manjusawa came out of the earring.

"Laya, she has always been here."

I didn't close my mouth for a long time, what did he just say, Laya, the queen of the underworld—in this flower?

He stared at the flower with complicated eyes, "Laya, she betrayed me, since she likes that man so much, I will imprison her and that man's soul and body respectively on the flowers and leaves of Manjusawa .”

"Flowers and leaves?" I was taken aback.

"Manzhushahua blooms for a thousand years and falls for a thousand years. The flowers bloom without leaves, and the leaves have no flowers. The flowers and leaves will never meet, and they will never meet each other."

Suddenly a chill came from behind me, so to speak, the Empress Dowager and her lover have been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, and they will never be able to see each other, "This is too cruel..." I He muttered something under his breath.

"This is the punishment she and that man deserve." His eyes froze, he waved his hand lightly, and the earring returned to its original shape.

"However, I think you are being punished yourself. You have been living in nostalgia and hatred for her all these long years. It seems that you have been punished more..."

"Shut up," he glanced at me, "you still have so much to say at this time, I don't know why I would say this to you," he paused, "follow me to the outer hall."

As soon as I arrived at the outer hall, I immediately saw several familiar figures. Xiu, the **** of death, Xibo, the **** of sleep, and An Ti, the **** of dreams. Several people were shocked when they saw me coming out of the inner hall with Pluto. An Ti's complexion changed even more. I shook my head lightly at him, and his face immediately turned blue.

"My lord?" Hippo asked puzzledly.

Eiles said coldly: "This woman actually stole in my inner hall, what do you think should I do?" .

"My lord, maybe there is a misunderstanding." An Ti finally couldn't bear it, and took a step forward.

"Misunderstanding?" Elias raised his eyebrows lightly, "Anti, you also surprised me, Mengmei Phantom..." As soon as he said these words, Anti's body trembled slightly. shock. Xibo and Xiu obviously didn't understand what was going on at all.

At this moment, there was another announcement from the guard at the door, "Lord Pluto, the judge of the second prison, Kaina, is asking to see you."

My heart sank, it's over, everything bad happened today. Looking up at An Ti, there was a trace of nervousness on his face.

Just as he was thinking, Kaina hurried in.

"My lord Pluto, this girl has a strange origin. After the age of eight, nothing in the human world can be found out. Moreover," he paused and glanced at me, "she is not an undead at all, but a living creature." Humans. Humans who entered the underworld in a state of suspended animation.”

My head bangs, the current situation is really bad... maybe I can only go back first.

Eiles was slightly surprised, and then returned to his usual expression, "So, there is such a person in the human world? The deception used can be hidden from you, Kaina, and even I was deceived." He said While speaking, he stood up and slowly approached me. Before I could react, the crystal bracelet on his wrist was already in his hand.

The fright I suffered this time is no small matter, how can I go back without the crystal bracelet...

I reached out to **** it, but he had already turned around, "I should have found out earlier, this bracelet is a bit weird, let me find out who has such magic power."

"As for this woman," he sat back on the high chair, "you can't leave the underworld, so let's send it to Forest Valley first."

"My lord, since she is human, why don't you send her back." An Ti said anxiously.

"Anti, don't say a few words." Xibo motioned him to stop talking with his eyes.

"Anti, you still have the courage to intercede for her. You have done something wrong yourself, so you can't forget it. In this way, except for the ability to create dreams, I will temporarily seal up your other divine powers, and they will not be allowed to enter for another two hundred years. My palace, do you understand?"

My legs went limp, and my eyes went dark, this time it's really over...

If I can’t go back, I will be thrown into the forest valley...Siyin, help me; Sanatesi, help me...Will I just become a tree that can’t speak...I don't want!

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a black forest in front of me, my scalp went numb, and I was thrown into the forest valley so soon. Just when I was about to move my hands and feet, I realized that my whole body couldn't move at all. I was terrified. Could it be that I have turned into a tree?

"Don't worry, you haven't completely turned into a tree yet." An Ti's voice came from in front of me, he bent down and looked at me with a smile, "Even if Xiao Yin turns into a tree, it's still a cute tree." tree."

"You're still talking sarcastic here!" I said angrily.

"How about I ask Lord Pluto to turn you into a beautiful tree? Cherry tree? Apple tree? Plum tree?" His smile was still so innocent.

"I don't want to, I don't want to become a tree, a cherry tree, an apple tree, I don't want any of them... I don't want to become a tree that can't speak..." When I thought of this, I couldn't help feeling sad, and my eyes were burning hot The liquid flowed out uncontrollably.

"Idiot," he restrained the smile on his face, and patted my head, "I will definitely save you."

"How to save?" I sobbed.

He lowered his head, a smile flashed across his face, "I will go and plead with Lord Pluto, but," he seemed a little embarrassed, "The Lord said that I would not be allowed to enter his palace for two hundred years, so Xiao Yin Just wait for two hundred years."

"Ah!!!" I felt even more gloomy ahead, not to mention saving Asuka, I couldn't protect myself, so I cried again with a wow.

He burst out laughing, and hugged me gently, "Idiot, don't cry, I promise it won't take two hundred years."

Why? After hearing what he said, I seem to want to cry even more... What should I do...

At this moment, a sound of fluttering wings came from mid-air, An Ti suddenly let go of me, and said in a low voice: "Here we come." I forgot that there is still that terrible bird demon in the forest valley...

"Anti, help..." I asked for help very spinelessly.

He nodded, "Don't be afraid, even if my divine power is sealed up, it's still easy to create a barrier." He took a step back, and just as he was about to create a barrier, he saw a group of big birds rushing towards the forest, but Strangely, they flew right past me, didn't stay near me at all, but flew to other trees to peck.

Anti was stunned, and then showed a relieved expression, "It seems that Lord Pluto is merciful." He smiled at me, "Okay, since they won't hurt you, I'll go back first Don't worry, I will definitely find a way." I looked at his smile, and my heart moved slightly, could it be that he was here all the time because he was worried that I would be attacked by the bird demon? Speaking of which, I was also the one who got him involved...

"Anti, I'm sorry." I said in a low voice.

"Needless to say I'm sorry, I promised to help you with conditions, and," he smiled, "Master Pluto is only doing it for a while, as long as he doesn't let the bird demon attack you, you will know."

As he was about to leave, a thought flashed through my mind, doesn't An Ti still have the power to create dreams?

"Wait a minute..."

"What?"

"Pluto said you can't enter his palace, but he didn't say you can't enter his dream."

Anti's expression brightened, "Why didn't I think of it, I can use the dream I control to plead with Lord Pluto."

"Let me go." I stared into his eyes.

"You?"

"Well, this is my own business, I want to solve it by myself, An Ti just needs to help me enter the dream of Pluto."

He hesitated for a while, but nodded.

In the blue sky, there are a few wisps of white clouds floating. I walked in this beautiful scenery in a daze, and I couldn't react. Where did I go? I was obviously thrown in Forest Valley. Suddenly I remembered again, I asked An Ti to help me enter the dream of Pluto, could it be here?

I continued walking until I came to a lake. There was a man sitting beside the light yellow reeds, with long purple hair like satin, and gray eyes looking gently at the lake. It is the king of the underworld, Elis.

It's just that he didn't expect that in the illusory dream, he was so peaceful.

He seemed to be aware of my arrival, he looked up at me, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, "Why did you come to my dream?" Before I could answer, he shook his head helplessly , "It's Antioch again."

"Since you're here, sit down." Although he was still indifferent, he was less aggressive.

"Master Pluto, I know that maybe you will think what I said is ridiculous, but I really need that manjusawa, only it can save me—brother."

"Do you know the meaning of Manzhushahua?" He didn't wait for my answer, and whispered again, "It means--sad memories." He was silent, his eyes flicked across the lake, "I know Laya That year, it was by such a lake, that was the first time Xibo and I went to inspect the human world, and Raya appeared from the lake at that time." He closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling What, "That's the most beautiful carp I've ever seen, with dazzling golden scales, and at that moment, the carp transformed into a beautiful girl."

I was secretly surprised, the queen of the underworld turned out to be a carp spirit? There is such an unbelievable thing?

"My heart seemed to be bewitched. I didn't think about anything at the time, so I forcibly brought her back to the underworld." His face softened. As the days passed, she still fell in love with me after all."

Ah, Master Pluto would also **** marriages? I'm going to faint...

"After marriage, Laya almost changed my underworld." There was a rare smile in his eyes, "She sent people to plant that flower field, and Manzhushahua is her favorite! Every morning when I wake up, I can see her smiling face and a room full of manjusawa. If I hadn’t stopped her, I’m afraid the underworld would become a big garden instead of a gloomy and dark world. Everything is beautiful, but… ..." He paused, with a look of regret on his face, "We have never had children."

"But, why would it be..." A trace of doubt filled my heart, could it be because of the child?

"That's because of the heaven..." He just said a few words, and suddenly covered his head with his hand, "I don't know why, every time I think about this past, my head seems to explode. Can't remember anything."

"Why on earth did she run away, and why did she fall in love with someone else?" He murmured, with a confused expression, unable to tell whether it was sadness or hatred.

I looked at him quietly, the current Pluto is like an ordinary person full of emotions and desires, but although Laya was snatched by him, a woman is willing to spend time planting flowers, making the underworld a garden, using Smiling faces and flowers welcome every morning, isn't it because there is love in my heart?

"How can you be so sure that she's in love with someone else?" I asked suspiciously.

"When Xibo followed my order to capture her, in order to defend that man, she not only confronted Xibo, but also said that she would live and die with that man, saying that she——had never loved me. Could it be I'm still not sure." His tone became a little excited.

"Then did she ever tell you such a thing?"

"Of course she said these words herself!" Elias' voice suddenly rose, her face livid, "So, let her accept the punishment she deserves forever."

The anger surged in his eyes, and gradually, gradually, it returned to calm.

"It's so strange, why would I say this to you..." He glanced at me thoughtfully, "I don't know why, the first time I saw you, I had a feeling of déjà vu .”

I was stunned, it seems that An Ti has said this, and I also have a feeling of déjà vu for Elias, especially when he bends his fingers, I have a strange feeling.

I was about to say something when suddenly my body floated lightly and I lost consciousness all of a sudden.

When I woke up, I was in Forest Valley again.

"Xiaoyin, wake up, how was your dream yesterday?" An Ti's urgent voice reached my ears.

I nodded, "Pluto told me the story of him and the Queen of Hades."

"That's okay." He seemed relieved, "I thought Lord Pluto would be angry."

"But——"

"But what?"

But I always feel that there seems to be something wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong, it feels like—something is wrong.

"However, it is still very difficult to get the orange manjusawa. If you want to get that flower, you must first let the king of the underworld release Laya..." I just said a few words, and suddenly realized I made a slip of the tongue, and almost forgot that An Ti and the others didn't know about it.

"La Ya was released? What's going on?" His expression froze.

I sighed helplessly, "Actually, Hades imprisoned Laya and her lover's soul and body in that flower."

"What!" He was obviously taken aback, "How is it possible?"

"Pluto will not forgive her, and will make her and her lover's soul unable to see each other forever."

"If this is the case, wouldn't the Empress of Hades be imprisoned for tens of thousands of years?"

"Yeah, alas, she is really pitiful. An Ti, do me another favor, I will enter the dream of Pluto tonight."

He hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Shortly after An Ti left, I looked at myself helplessly from the corner of my eye, and felt a strange reaction from the bottom of my feet, as if something was slowly developing, and I felt a chill in my heart, it couldn't be— — Take root slowly. I was lamenting when I suddenly heard a lazy voice sounding above me to the left.

"What you just said is true?"

I was taken aback. I wanted to look up but I remembered that I couldn't move my head. The next second, I saw a white figure floating in front of me.

With hair as blue as waves and eyes deeper than the Aegean Sea, she is——Sleep God Xibo.

"Are you eavesdropping here?" I said angrily.

"Eavesdropping?" He glanced at me disdainfully, "I've been sleeping here all this time." He bent down and looked straight into my eyes, "Is what you said just now true?"

Since he heard it, I didn't want to deny it, so I nodded.

His face changed slightly, "So Laya has always been here..." He suddenly grabbed my hand, "Where is that orange manjusawa?"

I looked at him in amazement, usually he has nothing to do with himself, but the sleeping **** who only knows how to sleep is also so nervous?

Nervous? My heart moved, why is he nervous? Does he have anything to do with Raya?

"I don't know." Judging by his reaction, it seemed that he didn't know about the flowers hidden in the earrings.

"How could you not know that although An Ti refused to tell me the truth, his punishment this time must have something to do with you." There seemed to be whirlpools in his eyes.

I simply shut up and ignored him. What Pluto said suddenly flashed in his mind.

"That was the first time Xibo and I went to inspect the human world. Raya appeared from the lake at that time."

"When Xibo followed my order to capture her, in order to defend that man, she not only confronted Xibo, but also said that she would live and die with that man, saying that she——had never loved me."

Xibo, this name repeatedly appeared in the mouth of Hades, coupled with his strange reaction just now, and the sadness that he showed in front of Hades' palace before.

I suddenly had a bold hypothesis.

"Pluto said that because the Queen of Pluto betrayed him, he will be punished for life after life." I looked at him and said.

"The punishment you deserve?" A trace of uncertainty flashed in his blue eyes, and he disappeared before my eyes without saying anything.
