Chapter 482 Final Chapter: The Netherworld God General (Page 12)

Mo Bai carried Li Yi and Yuehua to the edge of Tianchi Lake, where a manor had been built. Bailing and Zhao Hanfeng were waiting for Li Yi there, and he spent a pleasant pastoral time with them. Until the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, Li Yi and the others had a barbecue party in the manor, singing and admiring the moon together.

Looking at the moon in the sky, Bailing asked, "Husband, didn't we say we were going to bring Sister Shiyu back? When are we going to do that?"

"Tonight. When the moon is high in the sky, you will come with me to pick her up."

Yuehua asked, "How do we pick them up? Is brother taking us to the Moon Palace?"

"I don't have that ability. When the time comes, you can sing with me."

"What to sing?"

Do you still remember the song "Moonlight" that I sang when I saw her off?

Zhao Hanfeng shook his head and said, "You only sang that song once, how would we remember it?"

Li Yi casually took out the Panlong Brush, condensing Buddhist teachings and talent into ink, and wrote the lyrics out of thin air. Then he played the melody on the guitar and had them learn it. Just as he finished teaching them, the bright moon stopped right in the center.

Li Yi stood up, looked up at the bright moon, and smiled, "Come on, let's bring her back together!" Then he sang the song with Bai Ling, Zhao Hanfeng, and Yuehua. It's worth praising that Mo Bai also wanted to join in, singing along, but she only managed one howl before Li Yi buried her in the ground.

Moonlight, a woman's fragrance, tears, a broken sword, how long does love last?

How much pain is there? Words cannot express my longing. I've forgotten you.

A lonely soul drifts with the wind; who cares for the lovelorn lover?

In this battlefield of mortal life, amidst thousands of troops and horses, who can claim the title of king?

Who dares to cross the threshold of love? Gazing at the bright moon, my heart is filled with sorrow.

A thousand years of regret, a cycle of reincarnation; with eyes closed, who will be the most arrogant?

Given the unpredictability of this world, those who dare to love are destined to suffer a lifetime of pain.

A beautiful song drifted into the night sky, and a cassia branch stretched out from the bright moon. A beautiful woman stood on the branch. The cassia branch slowly descended, and Chang'e returned to the human world.

The cassia branch descended halfway down and stopped extending. Li Yi raised his hand and used the luck of the human race to condense a heavenly ladder. Chang'e stepped onto it and slowly descended the steps.

This scene reminded Li Yi of the first time he met Shi Yu. He heard music playing as Heng'e slowly descended the steps. The first thing he saw was her slender, jade-like feet. Her skin was still as white as jade, and her legs as green as bamboo. She hadn't changed; nothing about her had changed!

"The clouds yearn for her garments, the flowers for her face; the spring breeze caresses the balustrade, the dew glistens on her. Finally, we meet atop the Jade Mountain, just as we meet beneath the moon on the Jade Terrace!"

Li Yi reached out to support Heng'e, and Bai Ling, Zhao Hanfeng, and Yuehua excitedly gathered around. Heng'e glanced at Li Yi, then looked at the others one by one, made a lotus flower shape with her hand, and lightly touched her brow. The crescent moon mark on her forehead glowed white, and when she closed her eyes and opened them again, she transformed into Shi Yu.

"My husband! Bailing, Hanfeng, Yuehua!"

"Miss!"

"Sister Shiyu!"

"Sister-in-law! I've missed you so much! Why did it take you so long to come back!"

The family instantly hugged each other and wept bitterly...

Inside the Moon Palace, the old laurel tree looked down at them on the ground and shed a tear, but this tear was not a tear, but tree sap. The moment this drop of sap touched the ground, flowers suddenly bloomed everywhere in the Moon Palace, all kinds of grasses grew, and even other trees sprouted!

A little flower fairy jumped out of the flower and landed in front of the old laurel tree, asking, "Grandpa, who are you?"

"Me? I'd like to ask you who you are?"

"My name is Gu Guo, and I'm a flower fairy! Judging from your appearance, you must be an old tree spirit! Is it just the two of us?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a vine wrapped around Old Laurel, then piled up and intertwined to become a vine demon.

"Didn't you see me? My name is Bao Lin, and I'm a vine demon!"

"And me!" A tree spirit finally managed to pull its leg off the ground and swayed as it walked up to the old laurel tree, introducing itself: "My name is Wadi. You should be able to tell that I'm a tree spirit, right?"

"Um, can you see me? Don't move, I'm afraid you'll step on me!" A weak voice came from beneath their feet; it was a small spore spirit.

The tree spirit Wadi reached out and picked up the spore spirit, who said, "Thank you, Wadi! My name is Xin'ao, and I think we can definitely become good friends!"

"No, I think you can all become good friends this time!"

Why did you bring up this time?

The old laurel tree swayed, and moonlight condensed into human form before it. The Old Man of the Moon held the flower fairy in his palm, let the spore spirit stand on his shoulder, held the vine spirit in his left hand and the tree spirit in his right, and laughed: "Because there is true affection in the human world, and true affection warms the heart everywhere. Before you begin your cultivation this time, you must first cultivate your hearts. Only with a heart can you feel affection."

"Heart? What's that?"

"I can't say for sure either, but you'll understand once you've cultivated your mind!"

"So, do you have the heart?"

"Originally, I didn't have one, but a girl named Heng'e gave me a heart."

"Does she still have the heart to give it to us?"

The Old Man of the Moon shook his head and laughed, "No, that's not true! You'll have to cultivate your own hearts."

"Oh? How long will it take to fix?"

"Don't rush, take your time fixing it. We have plenty of time!"

It turns out that the drop of osmanthus juice sealed the seeds of the four races on the Taiyin Star before the Old Man of the Moon activated the Taiyin Seal. After these four seeds had been dormant in the osmanthus magic for a long time, they finally fell to the ground and gave birth to these four little demons. The Old Man of the Moon then began to cultivate with these little demons...

A day in heaven is a year on earth. In the blink of an eye, Shi Yu and Li Yi had been living together for half a month. After all, Shi Yu was only a part of Heng'e, and Heng'e could not possibly agree to let Li Yi revolve around several women all day long.

When Li Yi woke up that day, he found Heng'e looking at him coldly. He immediately understood what was going on. He scratched his head and laughed, "Happy times are always so short. It seems it's time to say goodbye to them."

"So you do know that! I told you to sever all worldly ties before coming to fetch me, but instead, you've come to fetch me with those ties still intact! You've played with you guys for so long and you're still not satisfied!"

"I'm content, of course I'm content! I'll tell them later..."

"I'll go talk to them. You're the most useless person at times like this! We'll leave tonight."

"Alright, I'll do as my wife says!"

"Cherish this last day on earth! Take a good look at this sky, this earth, this water, and this person..."

"kindness."

It is said that we only know how to cherish something when we lose it, but Li Yi is clearly not that kind of person. On his last day on earth, he did not indulge in anything. He just treated it as an ordinary day, only taking a few more glances at the blue sky than usual.

Heng'e told Bailing and the others the whole story, saying that if Li Yi didn't go to heaven, he would surely be punished. So they had to leave the human world and go to the underworld, where the Goddess Tai'an would protect them and Li Yi could survive.

Bai Ling and the others were naturally concerned about whether they would ever see each other again in this life. Heng'e's answer was yes. The gates of hell open twice a year, and whenever they had the chance, she and Li Yi would come to visit them.

Since things had come to this point, Bailing and the others had no choice but to accept it, no matter how unwilling they were. Yuehua even suggested that she should go to hell with them.

“Silly sister, your brother is a Vajra in Buddhism, with a golden body that can withstand the Yin energy of hell. I cultivate the Yin energy, which can also withstand the erosion of Yin energy. But you are just a mortal with mortal eyes, how can you withstand it! A living person can go into hell for a while, but if it goes on for too long, he will surely die.”

"Isn't that perfect? ​​If we die, we can stay in hell and live with my brother and sister-in-law!"

Chang'e looked at the pure moonlight, sighed helplessly, and then changed her words: "Do you think hell is like the human world? There is no sun, no moon, the sky is gray from morning to night, there is no life, and there are wandering ghosts everywhere, howling and wailing all day long..."

"Sister-in-law, please stop talking. I don't want to die, and I don't want to go to hell!"

"Then you should cultivate diligently."

"Cultivation? How does one cultivate?"

“There is a scripture here, written by the Bodhisattva Miaoyin of Buddhism. If you recite it every day, you may be able to comprehend its profound truths over time.” Heng’e turned to Bailing and Hanfeng and said, “After we leave, you may stay here and continue your lives if you wish.”

If you encounter any trouble, have Mo Bai take you to Shaya to find the Yuezhi people. They are my and my husband's people. With my token, they will find a way to help you. If you don't want to stay here, you can go anywhere, but whatever you do, don't go back to Luoyang.”

"why?"

"Even if that place is good, it is still a city of profit and desire. Driven by desire, it is difficult for people to guard their true nature. And you are rootless duckweed with no one to protect you, so you may be plotted against."

Yuehua sighed, "Well then! It seems my dream of becoming the richest person in the world is completely out of the question."

"Alright, whether it's money or power, those are all external things. You mustn't be captivated by them. After we leave, Heaven may have other arrangements. Remember, no matter who you meet in the future, never say that you are your husband's family. Just say that you are Yuezhi people."

"why?"

Li Yi walked over at this moment, patted Yuehua on the shoulder and said, "Because your brother actually has quite a few enemies. When I was still here, they didn't dare to cause trouble for you, but if I'm not here, then it's hard to say."

"Who are my brother's enemies? Let Mo Bai go and bite them to death!"

"There are some enemies that even Mo Bai can't defeat, like the Peacock King of the Ming Dynasty!"

Heng'e suddenly said, "That's right! Didn't you promise to pluck his feathers to make me a fan?"

Li Yi smiled and took a feather fan from the burlap sack. It was made from the remaining feathers of Kong Qinglin. The dazzling feathers reflected a nine-colored halo under the sunlight, and were truly extremely beautiful.

Heng'e took the feather fan, fanned herself casually, and laughed, "You keep your word. I'll refine this fan into a magic weapon later."

"Alright, we've said what we should and shouldn't have said. Let's have a farewell dinner together!"

"Husband, what are you saying? Sister Shiyu said that we can see each other every year from now on!"

"Yes, yes, let's have a reunion dinner together!"

"That's more like it! What are we having for dinner today? I don't want beef or lamb anymore!"

"We're having hot pot today! I've prepared all the ingredients! I bought them specially from the Protectorate of the Western Regions!"

"When did you go to Luntai City, brother? Why didn't you invite me? I wanted to buy some fabric!"

"I didn't tell you on purpose because I was afraid you'd buy fabric! Go wash the vegetables!"

"Hmph! If you won't take me to buy fabric, why should I help you wash vegetables!"

"Don't eat it if you don't wash it!"

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat!"

"Hey, you said it! You all heard that, right? Nobody's allowed to give her any later!"

"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss over a family reunion dinner! Don't worry, your sister-in-law will make sure you get to eat!"

"Sister-in-law Shiyu is the best! Brother is the worst!"

"You're twenty years old, yet you're still acting like a child!"

"I'm just a kid! Hehehe!"

The family gathered around the large copper pot, enjoying a lively and festive reunion dinner. After the meal, singing and dancing had become a family tradition.

After the joyful singing and laughter, the sun set and the moon rose. Li Yi picked up his guitar and played the last song of the night, "Farewell to the West Tower." As he sang with deep emotion, he walked with Heng'e towards Tianchi.
