There is a beast in the bright morning.
Chapter 26 Journey to the Underworld 3
The Underworld Ghost Market, or the Difu Ghost Market, is managed by Di Ting. Hao Chen could only give Di Ting a thumbs up: "Awesome."
Since this was Di Ting's territory, Hao Chen naturally dragged Tian Lu into foodie mode, determined to eat all the delicacies in the Ghost Market.
As for how much it would cost, Hao Chen didn't care, because it was all paid for by Young Master Di.
After witnessing this scene, the Qilin was already calculating how much money it could save this time, and it was also thinking about what local specialties it could bring back from Difu.
Just as Haochen was walking with Tianlu on the streets of the ghost market, a man who looked like the shop owner floated over and started recommending his products to Haochen.
"Today, our store is having a promotion on urns. Buy one get one half price! Would you like to get one for yourself and your friend?"
Hao Chen: "..."
The shop owner didn't give up and continued to chase after him: "Sir, would you like a jar? It's cheap and effective. If you don't need it yourself, you can give it to your relatives and friends."
"Boss, didn't you realize we're from the mortal realm?"
Upon hearing Hao Chen's words, the shopkeeper realized that Hao Chen and Tian Lu were actually from the mortal realm: "Oh, really? By the way, how did you two come to our Underworld?"
"Oh, this is Di Ting who invited us."
Upon hearing Hao Chen's words, the boss was immediately taken aback: "What? You mean you're friends of Lord Di Ting?"
Hao Chen nodded, then pulled Tian Lu around the boss and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, the boss chased after Hao Chen again and stopped him, which displeased Hao Chen.
Before Hao Chen could get angry, the shop owner handed him two exquisite urns: "Since you are a friend of Lord Di Ting, then you are a valued member of our shop. We are pleased to present you with two exquisite urns."
"No need, even if you gave me this, I wouldn't need it at all."
Hao Chen was about to pull Tian Lu away when he looked back, but lo and behold, Tian Lu had disappeared again.
"I'm so angry! Why is Tianlu running off again?" With no other choice, Haochen had to stop and go look for Tianlu.
Because Hao Chen and the urn owner were dragging their feet, Tian Lu went to find the Four-Faced Beast and Rabbit Lord.
The group stopped in front of a photo studio, where the owner was promoting his services: "Gentlemen, free photo booth pictures for a limited time, want to take a few?"
Tianlu and Rabbit Lord: "A photo booth picture?!"
The four-legged creature: "Free?!"
They then said in unison, "I want them! Give us a few!"
Just then, Hao Chen walked over from the side: "What are you four-legged creatures doing here?"
When the four-legged creature saw that it was Hao Chen, it said, "Hey, Hao Chen, you've come at the right time. Do you want to go take some photo booth pictures together? It's free."
When Hao Chen heard the four-legged creature mention the photo booth pictures, he immediately thought of the black and white photos in the underworld, which didn't seem very auspicious, so he declined the four-legged creature's invitation.
The Four-Unlikes didn't insist, and excitedly led Tianlu and Rabbit Lord into the shop to take some photo booth pictures. However, as Haochen had predicted, the Four-Unlikes were defeated by the black and white photo booth pictures.
Looking at the black and white headshots of himself and the four-legged creature in his hand, Rabbit said with a disappointed expression, "Why are they black?"
The four-legged creature chimed in, "It looks really ominous."
At this point, the photo studio owner said, "We also offer framing services, would you like that?"
The four-legged creature and the rabbit looked closely and realized that once framed, it would become a funeral portrait. They immediately said in unison, "It's not necessary."
Hao Chen was watching the show when Tian Lu suddenly tugged at him: "Hao Chen, can you smell something sweet? Let's go take a look."
"A sweet smell?" Hao Chen sniffed carefully and found that there was indeed a sweet smell. He thought that this might be the Meng Po soup milk tea from the underworld.
To be honest, after Tianlu suggested it, Haochen also wanted to try it, so he went to drink milk tea with Tianlu: "Come on, Tianlu, let's go drink milk tea."
"Milk tea? Great! I've never had milk tea before."
Soon, Hao Chen and his friends found a milk tea shop. Just then, the customer in front of them had finished ordering their milk tea, and it was their turn.
Looking at the wide variety of milk teas in the shop, Tianlu didn't know which one to choose for a moment. He just drooled and said, "Haochen, I want to drink some too."
At this moment, the owner noticed that Hao Chen and his companions looked unfamiliar, so he said, "If this is your first time here, I recommend the classic Pearl Meng Po Soup Tea."
Hao Chen didn't know which one tasted better, so he took the owner's recommendation and ordered two cups of Meng Po Soup Tea with full sugar and ice.
"It looks delicious, let me have a sip." Tianlu couldn't wait to take a sip after receiving the milk tea.
In an instant, Tianlu seemed to have lost his memory, looking at the Meng Po soup milk tea in his paws and saying, "What is this? Meng Po soup, have a sip."
After drinking it, she lost her memory again, and then repeatedly drank the Meng Po soup milk tea: "What is this? Meng Po soup, have a sip."
Hao Chen shook his head after seeing this, but he knew that this was at most temporary amnesia and would not be life-threatening, so he stopped worrying about it and instead tried the milk tea in his paw.
It has a sweet taste with a unique tea aroma. Paired with a cool texture, it makes you feel like you are in a comfortable and cool air-conditioned room on a hot summer day, forgetting your troubles.
Suddenly, Hao Chen's divine power began to circulate on its own, refining the Meng Po soup in the milk tea and preventing it from affecting his memories.
"It's delicious," Hao Chen said to the owner, then ordered dozens more cups of milk tea and put them into the personal space he had recently created.
Time is paused in the portable space, so there's no need to worry about things spoiling. The only drawback is that you can't put living things in it, and his understanding of the laws can only open up a very small portable space for the time being. Otherwise, Hao Chen would probably put hundreds of cups of milk tea in it.
After Hao Chen put the milk tea away, the Four-Faced Beast and Rabbit Lord came over. However, they saw Tian Lu holding the milk tea in a daze, with drool dripping from his mouth.
Rabbit God kept calling out, "Pipi, Pipi..."
The four-legged creature waved its hand in front of Tianlu in confusion: "What's wrong now?"
Just as Hao Chen was about to explain, Di Ting walked over with a cup of Meng Po soup tea: "You drank Meng Po soup, didn't you? It's okay, this is diluted. Living beings in the mortal realm will only suffer from short-term amnesia after drinking it."
As soon as Di Ting finished speaking, Tian Lu woke up: "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Hao Chen walked over with two cups of Meng Po soup milk tea and handed them to the Four-Faced Beast and Rabbit Lord: "I bought these for you. Try them and see if they suit your taste."
As Hao Chen expected, the Four-Faced Beast and the Rabbit Lord accepted the milk tea Hao Chen handed them. After drinking the Meng Po soup milk tea, both of them, like Tian Lu, suffered temporary amnesia.
What's even more interesting is that after losing their memories, the Qilin and Rabbit God seem to have their intelligence sealed. Unlike Tianlu, who drools, the two beasts hold hands and dance happily in front of everyone.
Hao Chen used his phone to record the wonderful (and embarrassing) moments of this strange creature and the rabbit figurine.
However, this Meng Po soup milk tea was diluted after all, and soon the four-legged creature and the rabbit god woke up.
The four-legged creature covered its head and said, "What just happened! I feel like I did something shameful."
Rabbit Lord rubbed his forehead as well: "You have this feeling too, you four-legged creature?"
"You four-legged creature, you just... Waaaaah~"
Just as Tianlu was about to reveal what had happened with the Four-Faced Beast and the Rabbit God dancing, Haochen swiftly covered Tianlu's mouth, preventing him from saying it.
"Pipi, what just happened between me and Rabbit Lord?"
Faced with the question about the four unlikes, Hao Chen shook his head: "No, the four unlikes drank Meng Po soup and milk tea, so they only temporarily lost their memories like Tian Lu."
"Is it really?"
Not only did the Four-Faced Beast not believe Hao Chen's words, but Rabbit Lord was also puzzled. He whispered in the Four-Faced Beast's ear, "Four-Faced Beast, I have a feeling that Hao Chen is hiding something from us. Could it be that we just did something embarrassing?"
Seeing that neither the Qilin nor the Rabbit Lord believed him, Hao Chen had no choice but to pull over Di Ting, who was watching the show from the side: "Qilin, if you don't believe me, you can ask Di Ting."
"Listen, did Rabbit Lord and I really not do anything impolite just now?"
Just as Di Ting was struggling with whether or not to tell the truth, Hao Chen secretly touched Di Ting's clothes. When Di Ting looked over, Hao Chen frantically winked at Di Ting.
Di Ting echoed Hao Chen's words, saying, "Nothing was done."
"Really? You guys seem suspicious to me?"
Seeing that the Four-Unlikes was still struggling with this issue, Hao Chen handed the Four-Unlikes and Rabbit Lord two more cups of milk tea: "Four-Unlikes, do you want some more?"
The four-legged creature and the rabbit god looked at Hao Chen with ill intent. In addition, this milk tea would cause temporary amnesia for living beings in the mortal world. It would be bad if they did something they shouldn't have done at that time.
Therefore, the four-legged creature and the rabbit shook their heads and said, "No, let's go and look at other places."
Just as everyone was about to explore other places, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and then terrifying auras manifested between heaven and earth.
"What is this? Oh no, something's happened in the forbidden area."
Di Ting sensed the direction from which the aura was coming and knew that something was wrong. Without bothering to explain, it instantly transformed into its original form, a large black dog with a blue horn on its head, and flew towards the nineteenth level of hell.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry, Di Ting?"
"It seems there's a problem. Should we go check on the Qilin and see if we can help?"
"this?"
While the four-legged creature was still pondering whether to help, Hao Chen felt as if something was calling to him, and his body began to move uncontrollably.
A burst of celestial light flashed across Hao Chen's body, and he transformed into a handsome and imposing young man.
Hao Chen's black hair cascaded down his back like a waterfall. He wore a white robe with two black and gold circles on the back, resembling the marks on a round buttock. The cuffs were decorated with gold trim, and he wore a pair of lotus-root silk cloud shoes.
Seeing Hao Chen suddenly change his appearance, both the Four-Faced Beast and the Rabbit Lord were somewhat surprised. They didn't know why Hao Chen had suddenly turned into human form.
After seeing Hao Chen's clothes, Tian Lu looked at his own fur and looked at the Four-Faced Beast with a somewhat aggrieved expression: "Four-Faced Beast, I want to wear clothes too, just like Hao Chen's handsome clothes."
"It's a four-legged creature. I have to go out for a while, but I'll be back soon."
After Hao Chen finished speaking, a golden road suddenly appeared beneath his feet, stretching out in the direction where Di Ting had left.
In an instant, space distorted and the field surged, as if even the Great Dao itself could not withstand this immortal Great Dao.
Hao Chen stood tall, surrounded by the rising and falling sun and moon, with stars swirling around him. He was protected by the Four Symbols, including the True Dragon and the Vermilion Bird, and was breathing in and out boundless essence. At this moment, his aura reached its peak.
Hao Chen seemed to know what was about to happen. His fighting spirit shattered the heavens, and his immortal light surged, shining brightly like a great sun, causing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to roar.
Watching Haochen leave, Rabbit said, "What should we do? Should we go and take a look too?"
Before the Qilin could speak, Tianlu suddenly grew larger: "Qilin, Rabbit Lord, come on up to me, I'll take you there."
Problems have arisen in the nineteenth level of hell in the underworld. The beings imprisoned there have escaped, and then a golden road has swept across the gloomy underworld. This commotion has not only attracted the attention of the entire underworld, but has also spread to the heavenly court.
All eyes turned toward the underworld, but could only see a hazy gray expanse. Anyone who tried to forcefully pry into its secrets would even suffer a backlash.
In the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor convened a meeting to inquire about the Underworld. Taibai stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, the Underworld is currently sealed off. Our people cannot enter, and the people of the Underworld cannot leave. However, I have heard that Guanyin Bodhisattva of Buddhism, along with Yang Jian, Nezha, and others, has just gone to the Underworld."
The Heavenly Emperor remained silent upon hearing this, only instructing Taibai to stay behind while the rest of the people withdrew to keep a close watch on the Underworld and to promptly report any disturbances.
After everyone had left, Taibai tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, have they returned?"
The Heavenly Emperor nodded, then sighed: "What's meant to happen will happen eventually, but I wonder if there will be another miracle this time."
Upon hearing the Heavenly Emperor's words, Taibai's face paled. He hadn't expected those people to return so quickly: "Your Majesty, should we continue to sacrifice the Pixiu clan?"
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor's expression changed, and the events of that year resurfaced in his mind. Who could have imagined that those terrifying, unimaginable creatures who called themselves gods would actually be restrained by the blood of the Pixiu and the blood of the Four-Unlikes?
"When necessary, everything can be sacrificed."
Upon hearing this, Taibai took his leave and went to make preparations. If things went wrong, he would immediately bring the Pixiu back to the Heavenly Court.
At the same time, Di Ting watched as the gates of the nineteenth level of hell were pushed open, and he became even more certain that something had happened inside: "Oh no, if those ferocious beasts are released, not only the underworld but also the mortal world will be affected. We absolutely cannot let them escape from the underworld."
Just as Di Ting was about to take action, a golden road suddenly stretched out towards the nineteenth level of hell. Then, a figure, accompanied by an astonishing phenomenon, stepped onto the golden road and walked towards the nineteenth level of hell.
"This is?"
Before Di Ting could think too much, worried that the figure might be connected to the one who broke the seal, he was about to follow him inside.
Unexpectedly, ancient divine runes suddenly appeared in the void, sealing off time and space, blocking Di Ting from entering.
Even though Di Ting unleashed bolts of lightning, it couldn't break through the divine runes and enter: "What's going on? Was this done by the mastermind behind it all?"
Just then, the Qilin and the Rabbit Lord arrived riding the enlarged Tianlu, and happened to run into Diting, who was being stopped outside.
"Di Ting, have you seen Hao Chen?"
"Haochen? Could that figure stepping on golden light be Haochen?"
"Hmm, I don't know what happened either. Haochen suddenly changed. Without saying a word, he flew this way on the golden road. Where is he now?"
Di Ting looked at the open door behind him: "He went in, you..."
Di Ting was about to tell the Four-Faced Beast to wait because there was a seal at the entrance, but to his surprise, they didn't listen to him at all. Tian Lu carried the Four-Faced Beast and Rabbit Lord towards the entrance.
The next moment, Tianlu, the Four-Faced Beast, and Rabbit Lord saw stars as if they had hit a wall.
“Qi-like creatures, don’t rush. Hao-chen seems to not want to be disturbed. After he went in, a seal appeared here.”
"What? Haochen went in alone? Isn't he in danger?"
Upon hearing Di Ting's words, Tian Lu immediately became anxious and slammed his hand down on the seal. After a loud bang, the seal remained unmoved, but Tian Lu swung his claws, which he had just used, and said, "Ouch, that hurts! How can this thing be so hard?"
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Yang Jian, Nezha and others also rushed over upon hearing the news.
After learning the situation, they all tried to break the seal, but only one person succeeded.
At this moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw the divine script on the seal and suddenly said to Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, "Avalokiteshvara, do you think this divine script looks familiar?"
"It's the gods, they've returned." Bai Ze arrived at that moment.
