"It's really lively!" The shepherd boy exclaimed: "It seems good to die here, the environment is very good..."
Bai Suzhen and his party took a small boat to go deeper into the underworld. Along the way, the Styx River converged with its tributaries, and the river became wider and wider. Gradually, it was tens of thousands of miles wide. A small black-covered boat was in the middle of the Styx River. It is like a lone sail falling into the Yangtze River with a single leaf, and there is a small feeling of overturning at any time. m
Bai Suzhen became more and more frightened. The Styx River was galloping with incredible power. She saw extremely powerful souls being drawn into the Styx River from time to time, and then a few waves were washed into the purest soul without any impurities. There is a tributary of the Styx River that flows into the main stream they are in from the yang world. The purest and most extreme power in the world makes Bai Suzhen not feel palpitations.
She is a small white snake, and she can be regarded as a bit of a dragon, and can drive big water.
But in front of one of the most vast rivers in the world, Bai Suzhen can only feel her insignificance.
As you can see along the way, there are countless undead and living beings mixed in the underworld. Soil, many geomantic treasures where the prehistoric earth qi gathers also have shadows cast on the shady soil. These divine lands and spiritual lands are also called blessed lands.
The dharma body of the god sits in the center of the blessed land, and from time to time, a god looks at the small boat that Bai Suzhen is riding on, staring at them for a long time.
They also saw countless powerful ghosts making waves, and many powerful ghosts that made them feel dreadful fighting each other. Along the way, peaceful ghost towns and villages fought with chaotic ghosts, and they saw it from time to time...
The shepherd boy felt a little puzzled.
Wukong seemed to see his doubts: "What? Do you think it's not the same as the Netherworld in your imagination?"
The shepherd boy nodded embarrassingly, and Wukong sighed: "The prehistoric world is too big! The heavens can't manage it, how many years will it take for the Yinhe Navy to inspect the prehistoric one? And the nether world is not inferior to the prehistoric world, how can the underworld manage it? Although some people call this place the underworld, it seems like you can see the underworld when you come in... It's a joke, how many people in the prehistoric world have seen the heaven?"
"Of course it's the same in this hell!"
"Reincarnation has its own laws, and reincarnation is at the bottom of the sea where the Styx River converges, so in fact, as long as the souls of the prehistoric people are thrown into the Styx River, they will naturally enter the reincarnation for nothing! The river bears the responsibility of transporting souls from the prehistoric to the reincarnation. At that time, after the death of all living beings in the prehistoric, the souls of the prehistoric beings were drawn into the river and fell into the river. So many times more beautiful!"
"Later!"
"At that time, the gate of hell was the way for the souls to enter the nether world... The dead souls were drawn by the river Styx."
"Later, the Emperor of Heaven merged the Underworld into the Heavenly Court. He built the Yellow Spring Road, snatched the souls of all living beings from the Styx River, perfected the theocracy of the Underworld, and brought the death of all living beings into the rule of the Heavenly Court."
"Of course, it cannot be said that the Emperor of Heaven has selfish intentions, because in the beginning, the underworld really took care of the mess of reincarnation selflessly, and it was only then that the Nether world became like a world... The Emperor of Heaven is merciful, and he allows those who died in the Nether World , enjoy a hundred times the yin life. The heavenly court lacks talents to manage the prehistoric world as gods, and the emperor of heaven uses the method of merit to promote gods from ghosts as candidates, as the basis for the heavenly court to rule the prehistoric world."
"Without the way to the Underworld, without the souls of all beings after death as a talent pool, Heavenly Court will never have a solid foundation."
"At the beginning of the Heavenly Court, there was a shortage of talents so that the Emperor of Heaven had to allow those with insufficient merit to temporarily serve as temporary Yin gods in the underworld, waiting for their descendants to accumulate Yin virtue for them, and then promote them to heaven as gods. At that time, the underworld, although Breaking away from Styx and reincarnation, it runs naturally, and breaks away from the track preset by Styx Demon Ancestor and Houtu Niangniang, but it still runs stably and stays on track."
"This is the general trend of the Heavenly Emperor depriving the local theocracy, and the Heavenly Court widely accepting the authority of the prehistoric."
"I can't complain... But after the Heavenly Emperor joined the Dao, the merits and virtues were lacking, and the heavenly court was in chaos for a while. Most of the laws set by the Heavenly Emperor were abolished. , the rebellious soul broke free from the road to Huangquan and fled into the vast netherworld."
"And the Heavenly Court has gradually installed numerous procedures in the process of soul reincarnation and reincarnation to expand the theocracy. The theocracy in turn usurps the natural right of all living beings to enter reincarnation, and then interferes with reincarnation. It is to liquidate good and evil, but in fact it is also to master the huge resources of sinful souls."
"Xuanmen and Buddhism have intervened one after another, the law of the underworld has become more and more complicated, and more and more forces have intervened in the process of reincarnation. The natural theocratic power of the two great gods, Patriarch Styx and Empress Houtu, was replaced by the centralized theocracy of the heavenly court. , and was usurped by the moths of Xuanmen and Buddhism, those Houtian gods who were selfish and who nominally performed the divine power for the heavenly court, and finally the divine power of the heavenly court existed in name only, and now the power of reincarnation in the underworld is in the hands of those powerful divine powers. "
"Its representative is the Emperor Beiyin Fengdu, the lord of the underworld in the period of the Emperor of Heaven, who was replaced by the Ten Halls of Yama supported by the two religions of Xuanmen and Buddhism."
"Ksitigarbha enters the hell, and Taiyi saves Ku Tianzun and enters the underworld, it's all like this!"
"The two of them are of great power and noble status, and I have nothing to say about their morality..." The monkey said with a smile: "But these people with high moral character replace a large part of the power of reincarnation in the heaven... What does it mean? I don’t need to talk too much! If it was in the time of the Emperor of Heaven...they would have been killed by the Emperor of Heaven if they dared to intervene in reincarnation!"
"But now..." Wukong said with a smile: "This hell is so lively, can it not be lively? On the road to Huangquan, there are often ghosts with high cultivation levels who break free and run to this vast nether world to do their best. Disciple, after death, there will be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Taiyi Save the Suffering God to take care of you. If you don’t want to go to reincarnation, you won’t go. If you go, you have to pick and choose! The treacherous ghosts are imprisoned in hell, and Ksitigarbha The Bodhisattva saves people there every day, and the countless evil ghosts who have created it can be released on bail if they find a reason."
The Blood Slaughter Demon Lord also said with emotion: "Nowadays, the underworld can barely run, sending the souls of most of the insignificant beings to reincarnation. Ghosts with a little bit of mana have a chance to escape from the underworld system and run to this vast land. In the Netherland, there is a lot to do. For countless years, I don’t know how many people have escaped. Anyway, as long as they are worn out in this Netherworld, it is another form of reincarnation, and it’s not a big deal.”
"Besides, reincarnation is controlled by Yama of the Ten Palaces, so it can benefit them!"
"That's why it's not uncommon for evil ghosts to gather in groups and ghost kings attack and fight each other in this nether world."
"The nether world is no smaller than the prehistoric world, and the power of the underworld is far inferior to that of the heavens, and it can't be controlled... so let them mess around! Anyway, nothing big will happen... The law of reincarnation is engraved with the law of heaven, and it doesn't need human intervention at all. The nether world is a part of reincarnation. These ghosts are free in the Yin soil for a while, and sooner or later they will be consumed by the Yin soil or washed by the Styx River. Many ghosts are tired of living, so they find a branch of the Styx River to jump. It's also chic!"
At this time, a roar came from a distance: "The devil boy sneaked into my netherworld again to snatch souls! Fellow Taoists who pass by, please help, there will be rewards from the underworld!"
Bai Suzhen woke up with a fright, and saw two shadows with demonic energy flying across, chattering and laughing from a distance, with ghostly ghosts all over her body, carrying thousands of ghosts, fleeing towards the Styx River.
Behind them was an awe-inspiring gold-armored bull-headed Yin God, leading a group of Yin soldiers to chase after them.
An old devil with dark green flames fluttering in his hair and beard said with a strange smile: "Bull head, how much virtue does it take to arrest us, how many years does it take to make a small land god, and we demons are not easy to mess with. If there is no advantage, who would be so ignorant?"
Another old devil also said with a strange smile: "To rob you of 50,000 souls to refine treasures today, I need forty-nine flags for a short burst of my Xuanyin Gathering Soul Banner, and each flag costs at least 5 million lives." Hun, I have to trouble you tomorrow... hahaha!"
"The Styx River is ahead!" The old devil covered in green flames hoarsely said, "If you chase after me, you won't get any benefits. My magic way is blessed by the Styx Demon Ancestor, and there are many supernatural powers that contain the Styx. He makes sense, when the time comes, with the help of the power of the Styx, if you accidentally fall into our hands and go to reincarnation for nothing, half your life of hard work will be wasted! It's not worth it!"
As expected, the bull-headed general chased after the flower sea on the other side, so he didn't dare to chase any more, stopped, and shouted: "The devil's heart is unpredictable. I heard rumors that two days ago, two direct descendants of the Styx devil ancestor sneaked into my underworld. If you want to make waves and bring down the underworld, you may be their accomplices, how can I sit idly by! Catching you is a great achievement... Recommend me to a higher level."
"Run fast today, let me catch you next time, and I will definitely send you to the eighteenth level of hell!"
"Slightly slightly..." The black-skinned old devil stuck out his tongue, made a grimace and twisted his buttocks, and said: "There are people in our devil's way, and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva belongs to my Asura clan. When the time comes, I will kneel in front of the Bodhisattva and take refuge." Then there will be another hero!"
"Lao Tzu!" The bull-headed man on the shore was furious... It was true that white phosphorous fire spewed out from the noses of the two bulls.
Bai Suzhen looked at the two old demons with their hands on their hips and laughed shamelessly, and looked back at the Blood Slaughter Demon Lord who was still carelessly criticizing the underworld just now, her eyes were wrong!
Emotional power is in the underworld, the world is chaotic, and your magic way is making waves, burning, killing, and looting! The Heavenly Court is pretty good, but your magic way is already oozing pus!
Still support Tianting!
Blood Slaughter Demon Lord explained embarrassingly: "Our way of magic is like this... like evil poison, those who have strict laws and have no room to exploit, we will only make them stronger, and those who are corrupt and dilapidated also need our help. With a single hand, he died completely. If it weren't for the inaction of the Heavenly Court, the Qinghua Dizang's power, and the chaotic chaos of the Underworld, how could it give us the opportunity to make troubles in the Demonic Dao?"
Two old devils were manipulating magic on the bank of the Styx River, creating a turbid stream of real water in the sea of blood, preparing to smuggle into the sea of blood.
I saw a small boat swaying towards them, and a big black-faced man with an expressionless face, bloody smell all over his body, and a glimmer of blood in his eyes was standing on it, looking at them. The two demons hurried up and bowed, saying: "Little devil has seen senior Gorefiend... Senior, is this using a ferry boat to go to the underworld to plunder souls?"
"The ones I snatched this time are all beast souls, not even two high-class demon souls... When I get a batch of human souls full of spirituality and emotions, I will be filial..." Yun Yun
"You two..." Xuetu's eyes showed a fierce look, and he was just about to teach the two rookies who didn't know the heights of the world and ruined the reputation of the Demon Dao.
Then I thought, "That's not right!"
"What's wrong with our evil ways? Isn't this what it should be? Is it wrong to rob souls?" It's wrong... It's a big mistake in the law and order of the heavenly court. Criticize the government for being incompetent, and then two accomplices blocked the road and robbed in the blink of an eye...
But they are demons!
Isn't that what you're doing? They Mo Dao didn't even think about competing for the business of Heavenly Court in the past!
It's like a group of robbers criticizing the imperial court for corruption, and then going to block the road to rob, burn, kill and loot, is it wrong? Our job! Not ready to rebel...
The Blood Slaughter Demon Lord realized that he had been playing the righteous way for too long, and he didn't recover for a while.
After he came to his senses, he patted the shoulders of the two up-and-coming demons and said, "Good job! I appreciate it, and here is a great thing for you..."
"I'll take you to do a big vote right now... Go to Naiheqiao and force the tens of millions of souls he brewed! If the underworld is not prepared, go to hell and make a vote with him!"
Bai Suzhen's complexion changed drastically, she grabbed Wukong's sleeve and said, "My lord, this person has finally shown his true colors!"
"It's a lie that he saved Di Zimu, but it's true that he robbed the underworld!"
Wukong pulled Xuetu over and said, "What do you think, tell her."
Blood Slaughter Demon Lord touched his head with a sneer and said, "Of course I know that the business is important. Why don't we bring in two helpers? When the time comes, let the two of them create chaos. No matter how convenient we do things, even if the situation is not good, there will be people who fall behind. ...And after they are caught, they will also mislead the underworld, so that the underworld can't figure out what we are here for."
"Did you hear that those two guarding the ghost gate kept their mouths shut and leaked our news! Now we must sit down to the people of the devil way to make troubles, otherwise the news of Di Zimu will also be leaked, and that's the way to go!" It's really troublesome, when the time comes, the forces of Emperor Ziyang's faction in the underworld, as well as the monster clan, Buddhism, and Xuanmen will all come to find him..."
Yuan Yu said quietly: "When you see Shen Tu Yulei and the two of them, you should know that their mouths have no clue..."
The leader of Wusheng echoed for a moment, and sighed: "That's right, when we came, we heard them say everything... What kind of emperor, what kind of ancestor tied them to a tree... How could such a person be sent to guard the gate by the empress? Could it be that the empress gave the order in Youdu, and the darkness in front of my eyes makes me unable to see what kind of people they are?"
"Anyway, Shentu Yulei talked a lot. Instead of letting him tell about Di Zimu, it's better to pretend to be someone from the Demon Dao to make trouble... Anyway, the blood sea is very close to the nether world, and the underworld has long been used to it. Mo Dao came here to burn, kill and loot!"
"Recently, 90% of the newly born population of the Asura Clan in the Blood Sea was transformed by the souls he stole!"
Yuan Yu calmly said: "Can you call more people... This cannon fodder is not enough!"
"I don't have the time to find someone now, and count one by one..." Xuetu had no shame on his face, and he didn't feel anything at all for his entrapment of fellow demons. It doesn't prevent Xue Tu from using them... Even though the eyes of the two devils showed doubts, they didn't object.
The tradition of magic... One set on the face, another set on the back, which set you have played before, and which set to play.
Now the two newcomers to the magic way obviously can't play hard, so no matter what Xue Tu said on the surface, they can only obey.
Bai Suzhen's expression collapsed when she heard it beside her... She still underestimated the integrity of the devil's way of emotion, it is really unfathomable.
