Under the same night sky, in a small courtyard of the General's Mansion, the master of the Honglian Gate Snow Mountain looked up at the moon, and the Lord of the North Pole Gate Sikong Ming bowed his head and tasted tea.

"Master Sikongmen, who do you say these two sons are the queen of the shadows?" Snow Mountain's voice is the same as the name, sounding feminine and a little domineering.

Sikong Ming laughed twice and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?"

"Then why do you think we should listen to his orders?" Sikong Ming raised his masked face and looked at the snow mountain and said, "What do you say?"

"Heh, you guy, it's always like this, it's obviously the question I asked first, but I always have to answer it myself." Xue Shan said with a smile, "Of course, it's because of the Netherworld token, the token is in the hands of the girl surnamed Fenghuo, and the girl listens to the words of the second son, so we naturally have to listen to the orders of the second son." ”

"That's not the end of it."

Snow Mountain Yin leaned closer to Sikong Ming and said in a low voice: "Don't you want to know, will the Queen of the Shadows reappear in the rivers and lakes?"

Sikong Ming didn't answer and asked, "How did you feel when you saw that Nether Heaven Token?"

Xue Shan Yin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and muttered: "I can't tell you how you feel, anyway...... Anyway, I just think that it must be the Netherworld Token of the Queen of the Netherworld, and there will be no fake. ”

Sikong Ming nodded: "That's a sense of familiarity." Do you know what that means?"

"What does it mean?" Snow Mountain Yin tilted his head slightly.

It shows that the martial arts of the Queen of the Shadow have made great progress. Her martial arts back then were already strong and unbeatable, if she didn't care about the martial arts ranking on the rivers and lakes, where would the first person in martial arts get the surname Niu. Sikong Ming said slowly.

Xue Shanyin's eyes lit up: "The Empress of the Shadows' martial arts is about to be completed, which means that she is leaving the Netherworld Island and returning to the Central Plains?"

Sikong Ming glanced at Xue Shanyin, shook his head and said, "The thoughts of the Queen of the Shadows are not something we can guess through. Just like when the Netherworld was in full swing, she suddenly gave up everything. It's the same as living in seclusion in the East China Sea. After a slight pause, he said, "But no matter when, as long as it is the order of the Queen of Darkness, I will definitely do it."

"You are faithful." Snow Mountain groaned.

"Why aren't you?" Sikong Ming seemed to be smiling. The two of them stopped talking, and even Mingyue hid in the clouds with interest, and the small courtyard was dark.

After a long time, Sikong Ming broke the silence quietly: "All these years. Have you ever been to the Queen?"

The snowy mountain shook his head; "No, for some reason, I didn't dare go to her. I want to see her, but I'm afraid to see her. What about you?"

"I go to Netherworld once a year." Sikong Ming said lightly.

"You're better than me." Snow Mountain sighed, "Have you seen the Queen of Darkness?"

"No, I can't even get off the boat. As soon as I get close to the Nether Island, the voice of the Queen of the Shadows will ring in my head. Sometimes I'll ask me to help her, but most of the time, it's just four words; 'You go back'. Sikong Ming laughed self-deprecatingly. But I still go to Netherworld every year, perhaps...... Just to hear her voice.

"Brother Sikong." Xue Shanyin suddenly changed his name to Sikong Ming, "Do you remember how we met the Queen of Darkness decades ago?"

"Remember, how can you not remember. I was only nine years old when seven of us died in the drought. I wandered with the crowd and ate many bark and grass roots. Until one day, a group of adults tied me up and wanted to roast me and eat me. At that time, they had already arrested four children, both young and old, male and female, and you were one of them, and I was the fifth. Sikong Ming said slowly, his tone indifferent. There is no sorrow for the whole family to die in the drought. Nor the fear of being caught by hungry refugees to prepare meat for a meal.

Snow Mountain Yin continued; "Hehe, I was hanging by them, and I was still fantasizing about the boiling water in the pot, after they cooked me. Can I bite a bite of my own meat first, and even have some expectations, hoping that they will get me out of the pot soon, as long as I can eat a bite of meat, it is worth dying. Then...... Suddenly I was too hungry. ”

Sikong Ming nodded and said, "It's been decades, but the situation at that time is still vivid today."

Snow Mountain Yin also nodded: "Yes, I can't forget it, I will never forget it." Especially when the queen appeared, I saw ...... in almost every dream"

Sikong Ming laughed, his eyes flashed in the dark night, like the stars in the sky, and he saw the distant past: "I can't forget, when the queen of darkness knocked down those adults lightly, I still fell to the ground and looked at it stupidly." I've never seen such a beautiful woman, I've never ...... Even today, decades later, I haven't seen it again. I thought it was Guanyin Niangniang who saved me.

Xue Shan Yin also smiled, at this time, in the eyes of the master of this Honglian Gate, Jing was shining with a childlike innocence; "I felt the same way as you at the time, and I believe that the other three people who were rescued at the same time were the same, the queen of the shadows...... Really holy as a fairy. Do you remember the first time I called her, what was her name?"

Sikong Ming smiled even more happily; "Of course I remember, as soon as the Queen of Youhou put you down, you called 'Mom'! Haha, the Queen of Youxi was so angry that she slapped you on the head at that time."

Xue Shanyin subconsciously touched his head, shook his head and said, "But it doesn't hurt at all." Hehe, I don't know why, I just think her beauty is very kind. ”

When she asked us to learn martial arts from her in the future, whether we would have food, clothing, and money to spend, on the condition that she would do whatever she asked us to do, none of the five of us had the slightest hesitation, and all of us immediately nodded and agreed. Her charm...... No one can stop it. I thought that even if I was told to die in the future, I would not hesitate to do so. ”

Speaking of which, how old was she at the time? It looks like seventeen or eighteen, and it looks like twenty-five or sixteen, but we have been with her for so many years, and she has always been like that, and in the future, it looks like we are much older than her. ”

Sikong Ming shook his head and said; "I don't know. The Queen is not an ordinary woman, and sometimes I keep wondering if she is a fairy in the world. ”

Snow Mountain sighed: "The five children who were rescued by the Queen of Darkness back then are now the only two of us. There are five palaces and three gates in the Netherworld, and how many people have ever seen the Queen of the Netherworld?"

Sikong Ming said: "What I miss most in this life is the days when I fought the world for the queen of the ghost, although I have been rolling at the tip of the knife, wandering between life and death, but I can listen to the words of the queen and do things." Feelings for her. I can't describe it as a normal relationship between men and women, I have never had a trace of blasphemy in my heart, I have never ...... As long as you can stay by her side and fight for her, you will be satisfied. ”

Xue Shanyin patted him on the shoulder and nodded, "Me too." I wish the Queen could come back so we could continue to fight for her. I believe. With our strength, we will definitely be able to praise her as the queen of the world, just as we thought at the beginning. ”

Dozens of meters away from the small courtyard, a bluestone in the General's Mansion, Li He was standing leisurely, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and the little fox demon Xiangxiang was leaning his small mouth next to his ear at this time, saying something in a low voice. Fenghuo Xiaolan stood behind the two of them, her eyes quietly watching Li He's back.

The three of them are standing here. It's already time for a meal.

"Hehe, I can't imagine it, I can't imagine it, the queen actually abducted underage teenagers to work for her, and tamed them one by one like Athena's saint warriors." Li He suddenly laughed.

Xiangxiang was puzzled, "Master, what is the tooth point, what is the leftover fighter?"

Li He smiled: "Athena is a goddess stick. Saint Seiya is a group of her followers, who act as her thugs and fight against other gods. ”

When Xiangxiang heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Do they have anything else to say?" Li He asked.

Xiangxiang listened attentively, blinked her big smart eyes, and said, "Master, they said that they would find an opportunity to ask Xiaolan about the current situation of the Empress You."

During the days when he led the army to the west, since the general defeated the town, Li He and Xiangxiang were happy almost every night. A few months down. The little fox demon's spiritual power has increased greatly. The Six Senses are even better than in the past, and as soon as he walked here, he heard the conversation between the Snow Mountain Yin and Sikong Ming in the Geyuan clearly, and transferred it to Li He's ears word for word.

"Oh?" Li He listened to Xiangxiang's words. Glancing back at Xiaolan, the alternate saintess of the Tianshan Sect looked at him calmly, and her expression did not change at all.

"Then let them ask." Li He smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, go find those two Saint Seiyas!"

Inside the small grid.

The two masters were still talking about the past, as if they had been immersed in their memories, and the expressions on their faces were very different from usual.

"Brother Sikong, isn't the injury on your face healed? I remember that the Queen of Darkness once asked the ghost doctor of Tianyue Palace to see it for you, didn't you cure it?" Snow Mountain asked.

Sikong Mingdao; "Although my face was seriously injured back then, the queen found the snow frog, and with the ghost doctor's ghost hand, the scars and scabs on my face were basically removed."

"Then why have you been wearing this mask for so many years?"

Sikong Ming gently stroked the mask on his face, and his eyes suddenly became a little different; "Do you know who gave me this mask?"

Snow Mountain was stunned: "The Queen?"

"Yes, I was just injured at that time, and the Queen gave me this mask, and I've been wearing it ever since, and it's been more than sixty years now." Sikong Ming said slowly.

Xue Shanyin suddenly looked at the courtyard gate and said lightly: "Someone is coming......

At this time, the voice of the guard sounded at the gate of the courtyard; "General."

Li He responded, and had already crossed the door with Xiangxiang and Xiaolan into the hospital, smiling and smiling to the snow mountain who was sitting in the courtyard and drinking tea; "The two masters are so interested, the bright moon is in the sky, and the fragrant tea is secretive, can you let Li join?"

Sikong Ming and Xue Shan Yin glanced at each other casually, and then got up together, smiling.

"General, please, Netherworld, Miss Xiangxiang, please."

"The second son is willing to ask us to drink tea together, that is our blessing, how can we not agree."

Li He was also not polite, and sat down at the stone table with Xiangxiang and Xiaolan, and Sikong Ming personally poured tea for the three of them.

After a few casual idle words, Li He cut to the chase: "The two sect masters have been in the Netherworld for a long time, right?"

Sikong Ming said: "Since the establishment of the Netherworld by her old man, Brother Xueshan and I have been the eighteen protectors. Later, the Queen went to the Netherworld Island to retreat, and the Netherworld was divided into five palaces and three gates, so I began to serve as the master of the North Pole Gate, and Brother Xueshan served as the master of the Honglian Gate. ”

Xue Shanyin nodded: "As Brother Sikong said, the two of us can be said to be the first generation of Netherworld."

Li He secretly said in his heart, these two Saint Seiyas seem to be senior gold versions. said on his lips: "Can those two sect masters know where the other people from the Five Palaces and One Sect are, and how to contact them?"

Sikong Ming said: "Except for the Ten Thousand Beast Gate, the other five palaces know about it. What does the general command?"

Li He said: "The Queen of the Netherworld has handed over the Netherworld to me, so I should naturally merge the five palaces and three gates into one again." After returning to the Central Plains, you will contact the palace masters of the other five palaces for me, and as for the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, I will naturally have a way to find out where it is after I go back. ”

Hear me. The two protégés were stunned at the same time, and subconsciously glanced at each other.

Sikong Ming hesitated for a moment and said; "General, did the Queen of the Netherworld ask you to reunite the five palaces and three gates into one and build the Netherworld again and again?"

Li He looked at him and said; The Queen of the Netherworld handed over the Netherworld to me, and I naturally had to integrate the five palaces and three gates to manage it. ”

Xue Shan groaned: "Second son, you just said... The Queen of the Netherworld will hand over the Nether Heaven to you?"

Li He nodded: "Yes, if you don't believe it, you can ask Xiaolan." She is the one sent by the Queen to assist me. ”

Snow Mountain Yin and Sikong Ming looked at Fenghuo Xiaolan at the same time, and the veiled Xiaolan just nodded lightly in the face of the gaze of the two.

Sikong Ming frowned and asked, "Then the queen of the shadows...... Will it come back to the world?"

Li Du thought about it for a moment and replied: "Well, she didn't say it." He knew that the Queen had said that he would not leave the Netherworld, but through the conversation that Xiang Xiang had just heard. I also understood the loyalty of these two "Saint Seiyas" to the Queen of the Netherworld, so they sold it a little bit and didn't say anything to death, anyway, the Queen only said that she would not leave the Netherworld Island, and she didn't say that she would not reappear in the rivers and lakes.

The strength of the Hong Lian Gate and the North Pole Gate was already very satisfactory to Li He, and after he firmly grasped the Five Palaces and Three Gates, he believed that there would be absolutely no forces in the rivers and lakes of the Great Xia Kingdom that could compete with him.

Sikong Mingdao; "General, speak bluntly in anger. The five palaces and three doors have always been infighting. Although it used to belong to the Netherworld. But it was the old man who controlled it. No matter how capable people are, they are willing to listen to her orders, so everyone is very united and united. But the Queen later went to the Netherworld Island and left it alone. The Netherworld is divided into eight parts, that is, five palaces and three gates. There are frictions of one kind or another between each part, and each part also has different struggles. Especially the palace masters of the newly new Xuehua Palace and Tianyue Palace are all extremely ambitious people. It's probably not so easy to merge the eight parts of the Netherworld again. ”

Li He touched his chin and said, "Isn't there a Nether Heaven Token?"

Xue Shan groaned: "It has been decades since the Queen of the Shadows went to the Styx Island, except for me and Brother Sikong, the other palace masters and door masters of the Five Palaces and Sect are all rising generations. Although the awe of the Queen is still there, after all, I have not been in the Netherworld of the Netherworld in the Netherworld Era, this Netherworld Token can make me and Brother Sikong bow down and obey orders, but it may not make those post-born boys willing to change from the boss to the subordinates. As he spoke, he looked at Sikong Ming and said, "But...... If the Queen of the Shadows is willing to reappear in the rivers and lakes, I believe that all the people of the Five Palaces and Three Gates will unite as the Netherworld again, and no one will have any objections. ”

Li He's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, of course he knew the intention of Xue Shanyin to say this, and said; "Don't worry, the two sect masters, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I have my own way to let the five palaces and three gates form the Netherworld again."

Xue Shanyin and Sikong Ming obviously thought that Li He's words were a bit arrogant, but on the surface they still expressed their willingness to wait and see.

At this time, a guard was at the gate of the courtyard; "General, there is a Daoist aunt looking for you."

Li He was stunned: "Dao Gu" He remembered that among the people he knew, there was no Dao Gu, and even because of Xiangxiang, he was extremely hostile to Taoist priests.

"Yes, she said her surname was Mo." The guard said, "She said it was your old acquaintance, and the little one didn't dare to slack off......"

"Mo?!" Li He's eyes lit up, and he got up and said to the two main doors; "I believe that the two of you must have not seen the old man of the Queen for a long time, and there must be a lot of questions to ask in my heart, I have some private matters to deal with now, if the two of you have any questions, you can ask Miss Xiaolan, she has been in the Hades Palace for several years!" When he said the word "old man", he also learned the intonation of Snow Mountain Yin and Sikong Ming when he spoke, and accentuated the tone. After saying that, he took Xiangxiang and turned around and followed the guard out of the small courtyard.

Snow Mountain Yin and Sikong Ming immediately looked at Fenghuo Xiaolan.

"The Queen...... How's it going?" Sikong Ming asked.

"Good." Xiaolan replied lightly.

"The Queen...... Is she still as beautiful as an eighteen-year-old girl?" Snow Mountain Yin asked softly.

Xiaolan looked at the entrance of the courtyard where Li He's back had just disappeared.

"You should ask him this question."

"Him?"

"Li He."

The two door masters were a little puzzled: "Why?"

"I haven't seen the Queen, he's seen." Shinolan Road.

Xue Shan was stunned: "He has been to the Netherworld Heavenly Palace?"

Xiaolan nodded; "Been there once."

Sikong Ming opened his mouth wide: "You mean, you haven't seen the Queen of the Netherworld for so many years, and he went there once, and then he saw the Queen of the Shadows?" The Queen of the Netherworld also handed over the three gates of the Five Palaces of the Netherworld to him?!"

Xiaolan still nodded; "Yes."

"......" The two door masters looked at each other speechlessly.
