At that time, it was after the war between the Yin and Yang worlds eleven generations ago. Because of his meritorious service in the war, he was promoted to the fourth hall of Yama and given the title of "Wu Guan".
When he was alive, he was a fox among monsters, and after his death, he became the King of Hell among ghosts.
The new position he had acquired was truly honorable, but he was cruel and murderous, with a brutal and erratic temperament. Of course, he became even worse after that, causing King Taishan to frown.
His relationship with King Taishan was strange and not friendly.
But if he had to choose a most well-known word to describe their relationship, Coroner Wang thought it would probably be "close friends."
When he first entered the Extreme Realm, his cultivation was already quite high. Moreover, his fox clan's original body cultivated the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Dharmakaya and was good at illusions, so he often used this to tease others.
One day, I strolled into the City of the Dead and met a sleeping man selling straw sandals.
He thought, although the Polar Region is not as fertile as the Nineteen Continents, there should be no shortage of straw sandals. It is really strange that such a big man is lying here selling straw sandals.
The thought of playing a prank suddenly came into my mind.
So he pretended to be a judge with high cultivation, and walked over to him with a swagger, saying, "Wrongful Death City is such an important place. Goods can be bought and sold in Shanhai Market. How can you be so presumptuous here? Put away your straw sandals and get out of here."
The coroner king had played too many tricks on people in the past, and he had never failed. At that time, the Jiyu was the Jiyu where King Qin Guang had not yet completely torn his face with the Nineteen Continents. Even though there were many talented people in the City of Wrongful Death, their time was short, and those with high cultivation left early, and those who stayed were all with low cultivation.
So, logically, no one should be able to see through him.
But I didn't expect that after going through many ups and downs in life, I would eventually capsize in a ditch.
The big guy lying there opened his eyelids and glanced at him, then ignored him, closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't even take him seriously!
Of course he was furious, and pretended to be majestic and scolded him, which attracted the attention of many ghost cultivators around.
Perhaps because he was annoyed by his noise, the big man finally opened his eyes again after half an hour and looked at him intently for three breaths.
He felt uneasy at that time.
Then the big man suddenly stood up and grabbed him.
He wanted to hide, but he couldn't escape no matter what. He stood there like an idiot, and was caught by the opponent.
There was a rustling sound, a shaking, and a violent shaking.
The world was spinning so wildly that the people lost their heads and the fox lost its mind.
He was not paying attention and the illusion was broken, revealing his true form in front of others, which made him lose face.
But the big guy just threw him aside, as if there was no such fox demon as him. Seeing the noisy and chaotic situation around him, he picked up the straw sandals on the ground, rolled them up with cloth, tucked them under his armpit, and walked away.
After a while, the person disappeared.
From then on, the coroner Wang hated him. He heard from his friends that there was indeed such a strange man in the City of the Dead, who always sold straw sandals in the city, so he became evil-minded.
He tried to play tricks on him again and again, but was discovered again and again.
Later on, he simply called his friends to block his way, to avenge the arrow shot at him that day.
As a result, that day he realized how hard the iron plate he kicked was...
According to the level of the Extreme Domain, this big guy had already achieved the Golden Body cultivation at that time, and was definitely considered a top figure.
He was blind and failed to recognize the great man.
Because his cultivation was not high enough, he failed to see through his strength and was severely beaten. He only managed to save his life by begging for mercy.
After that, he didn't dare to provoke this man again. He just watched him sell straw sandals day by day. After watching him for a long time and not making trouble, he gradually became familiar with him and could talk to him.
He asked, "You have such a high level of cultivation, why are you selling straw sandals?"
He replied: "This is cultivation."
How is selling straw sandals considered cultivation
Coroner Wang had never heard of such practice and secretly sneered at it, but he also felt that this man was truly very capable, so he had evil intentions and tried every means to become his disciple.
Unexpectedly, he said, "You have an evil mind, so you cannot worship me."
Coroner Wang was a little angry, so he asked back: "Then you must have been from a famous and upright family when you were alive?"
The straw sandal seller laughed and said, "No. Not only is it not a reputable and upright sect, it is also an evil and heretical sect."
When the coroner Wang heard this, he became even angrier: "You are an evil demon, how dare you look down on a demon like me?"
The straw sandal seller was not angry: "Evil spirits have their own principles. It's not that I dislike you, but I'm doing this for your own good."
good
What a bullshit!
Coroner Wang was so angry that he almost lost his soul. He turned around and left, forgetting to ask why. He only remembered the four words "apprenticeship and learning skills".
After all, he is a demon and only remembers things that are related to his own interests.
The elders of the tribe have always taught this way.
Moreover, later on, unable to withstand his repeated harassment, the big man selling straw sandals finally gave in. Although he did not accept him as his disciple, he taught him all kinds of magic.
So the question of "why" is thrown even further away.
It can be said that until the end of the Yin-Yang Realm War, his cultivation level had not caught up with him. He was able to occupy the Fourth Hall during the time of Feng Yanjun only because he killed a lot of people. And he fell into the Sixth Hall only because he did not kill as many people as him and his methods were mediocre.
After the war, he became the Coroner King, he became the King of Mount Tai.
He was perverse by nature, and his evil nature gradually grew. One day, when he threw all the new ghosts into the eighteen levels of hell with a stroke of his pen and asked people to divide their souls, he became angry.
Having known each other for hundreds and thousands of years, this was the first time that the big guy scolded him so harshly and without respect, saying that he taught him magic, and although he did not expect him to cultivate a pure heart, he hoped that he could change his stubbornness. Who would have thought that after he participated in the Yin-Yang world war and obeyed King Qin Guang, his character gradually became more brutal, even worse than before. Among the demon cultivators, the fox demon clan has always used "becoming like a human" as the standard for cultivation. If he persists in his delusion, he will destroy his foundation and dig his own grave.
He went mad after hearing that.
At that time, they were still in his hell palace, and they were just about to fight. She even cursed him back: "You are digging your own grave! Who always said that among the three thousand sects in the Nineteen Continents, only the Yashan Sect is respectable, and all its disciples have pure hearts? What was the result? Didn't they all die with a little trick? Bullshit pure heart!"
The big guy's eyes gradually turned cold, and he walked away without saying a word.
After he left, Coroner Wang became angrier and angrier as he thought about it.
In the end, he gritted his teeth in hatred whenever he recited the four words "innocent heart", and suddenly remembered the plan he heard Emperor Song propose one day to cut up the souls of thousands of cultivators and use them as soul puppets. So he didn't tell anyone and went straight to Yizhuang, determined to drag out all the souls of the thousands of cultivators on Yashan and whip them to vent his anger.
But after getting there, he found that Emperor Song, King Chujiang and others were there. He really had no way to vent his anger, so he had to leave the charity cemetery in disappointment and walk along the Yellow Springs Blood River.
When we reached the river bend, we saw bones piled up all over the river.
The water of the Yellow Spring is like water that has been stripped of flesh and bones. No living thing can survive in it. Even if a cultivator of average cultivation is thrown in, only a pile of bones will be left when it comes out.
The piles of bones here are undoubtedly the remains of the monks who died in the world war.
Coroner Wang didn't care at first, but as he walked, he suddenly discovered a special exception.
The water of the Yellow Springs Blood River was red, and compared to the vast river surface, the thing was really not very big. The reason why he noticed it was all because of the white bones around it.
The water rises and falls at the river bend.
Of course, everything looks red when the water comes, but when the water recedes, this red thing placed among a pile of white bones becomes very conspicuous.
Coroner Wang leaned over and turned it over, and saw that it was actually a heart of flesh and blood.
This is really surprising.
What kind of heart can remain intact in this underworld, as red as a new one
He thought the item was something special, so he simply reached out to pick it up. However, when he picked it up, he discovered that the heart was tightly embedded with a token that had melted beyond all recognition, and he couldn't peel it off, so he had to put it back into the box.
Because of his shallow relationship with Emperor Song and others, he did not let anyone else know about this matter. He just brought the box back to Bafang City and shamelessly asked King Taishan to help him look at it.
Who makes him so knowledgeable
King Taishan's anger had not yet subsided, and his face was cold when he came out to see him.
But after opening his box and seeing the heart, his expression was shaken. He turned over the token again and was silent for a long time, without saying a word.
Only when he urged him did he frown and ask him where the thing came from.
Coroner Wang then explained the whole story and asked him, "What did you find out?"
Only then did the King of Taishan point to the token that had melted into a ball and asked him to take a closer look.
"Although this order is badly damaged, it is still clear that it is the Yashan Order, owned by Yashan disciples. This heart should belong to the master of this order, the innocent heart that you just scolded as 'not even worth shit'. However, the underworld corrodes bones and flesh, and this heart is the only one that can survive in the bloody river and evil water. Its master must be alive and well."
Everyone knows that when a cultivator reaches a certain level of practice, he can get rid of the constraints of the physical body. Even without a body, he can still rely on his Nascent Soul to remain immortal. So, losing a heart should not be a big deal.
But where had there been any living people in the Jiyu before
Therefore, this heart must have been lost by a disciple of Yashan in the previous war between Yin and Yang, and it must be a cultivator with a high level of cultivation, otherwise his heart would not be able to resist the water of the Yellow Spring.
Coroner Wang was very surprised. "If this heart can resist the water of the underworld, then its original owner must have been a well-known figure in Yashan, and must have had direct or indirect battles with us. In such a battle, even the heart was taken out, but the person is still alive. Even if the person escaped quickly, with the ruthlessness of Jiyu, there is no way he can be spared."
King Taishan also pondered for a long time, obviously he had never encountered such a difficult problem.
In the end, I still couldn't come up with an answer, I just thought: "It can't be that the owner cut it out himself and threw it away..."
What kind of person, and in what state of mind, would cut open his chest and throw a burning, innocent heart into the underworld
Suffering in vain.
It's impossible to think about it.
After all, the body and mind are one, and it is not easy to sever the connection.
The heart is in the underworld, and the body is also suffering. The serious ones die from the agony, and the minor ones are seriously injured and their cultivation is damaged. Even if they are alive in the world, I am afraid they will hardly make any progress.
The coroner Wang's eyes rolled around, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said: "Big man, I remember you said that what I lack is a pure heart. Moreover, as a demon cultivator, and cultivating the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Dharmakaya, I have a human body, human words and actions, but no human heart. If I can cultivate a 'pure heart', it will be perfect. Then you said, I want to take this heart for myself, wouldn't it be accomplished in one fell swoop and get twice the result with half the effort?"
Without a doubt, these words brought another scolding from King Taishan.
It's nothing more than saying that he is opportunistic and has evil intentions.
Finally, he advised him not to have such evil thoughts: "There are many ordinary people in the world, and there is not even one person who has such a pure heart. Moreover, the original owner of this heart must have followed the right path. If he wants to let go of this heart and completely cut off the connection, he must die or abandon the Tao and become a demon. Otherwise, with your evil heart and ghost body, this heart is here, and you can't refine it even if it is given to you, let alone take it for yourself."
Coroner Wang certainly didn't believe it. Seeing such a good opportunity right in front of him, how could he give up easily without giving it a try
He was too lazy to argue with the King of Taishan, so he just picked up the box and left.
He returned to his own hell palace and practiced in seclusion for a while.
The result was that he "did not listen to the big guy and suffered the consequences". Not only did he fail to refine the heart, but he almost went astray. From then on, he gradually became more sensible. Although he coveted the power of this heart, he was also afraid of the backlash of forced refining, so he just put it in the hall and never touched it easily.
However, even if it was just this, there was some effect.
His mood gradually became calmer, his cultivation speed became much faster, and his cruel and murderous nature was inexplicably suppressed.
The big guy said that just placing it next to him had such miraculous effects, which was enough to show what kind of person the original owner was.
Coroner Wang didn't care.
As time went by, nearly ten generations had passed, and his cultivation had surpassed that of the King of Mount Tai. Gradually, they became inseparable, and of course, the matter of his innocent heart was slowly forgotten.
Until one day more than eighty years ago, when he was meditating in the hall, he suddenly noticed a vibration and buzzing in the hall. He opened the box and saw that the originally bright and red heart in the box quickly became dim.
I was shocked and suspicious, and felt that something was wrong.
But in just a moment, he thought of what King Taishan said earlier, and was overjoyed: That man is finally dead? Has he abandoned Taoism and become a demon
Fearing that something unexpected might happen in the middle, and also afraid that this heart would turn into an ordinary heart after the death of the old master, Coroner Wang remembered that he began to refine without hesitation.
This time, there was indeed no obstacle.
He successfully refined the heart, and later asked King Taishan to help him forcefully to place the heart and the unremovable token into his chest, claiming it as his own and completely making it his own.
The so-called innocent heart is as pure as a blank sheet of paper. It can feel the changes in the surrounding heaven and earth in its own heart, and can appreciate the wonders of wind, thunder, rain and lightning, flowers, birds, insects and fish. It can understand the sufferings of life and death, reunion and separation, sorrow and joy, and can understand the principles of the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, and the prosperity and decline of growth and decline. Desires come from emotions, and emotions come from the heart. It is unbranched and impartial, and is moderate and peaceful.
Over the past eighty years, he gradually got rid of his former evil nature and his cultivation level increased dramatically.
But strangely, King Taishan spoke less and less.
Most of the time, he practiced alone, and even when they met, he would always look at him in silence.
What kind of look is that
Coroner Wang blinked and could hardly remember what happened.

explain
He was strangled by Jianchou's throat and held down by her palm, and was tortured by her constant intensification of palm power. His consciousness was already a little groggy, and he just wanted to turn his eyes away to see the expression of King Taishan at this moment.
But all I saw was a heartless and emotionless face like a clay puppet.
Then that kind of deep sorrow came up.
The eyes of Coroner Wang gradually turned red.
Turning his head, he looked at Jianchou, at her calm and undisturbed face, the weird color on his face slowly faded away, and he just laughed vaguely.
"I'll give you the remaining half of my heart. But I want to ask you for one thing—"
beg.
Using this word is really a bit heavy.
Jianchou was already prepared to be ruthless to him and just cut open his chest to take out his heart, but he didn't expect him to say such words. She also saw the sadness in his eyes that seemed to be overflowing with the sea, which was definitely not fake, and her clasped hands finally loosened a little.
"What is it?"
The boy's tears rolled down and he said hoarsely: "Please save him..."
Jianchou was stunned.
Before she could respond, Coroner Wang's eyes showed determination. He reached into her chest and forcibly took out the remaining half of her heart from deep inside her soul!
Tear apart the soul!
It's heartbreaking!
He had no idea what state of mind the original owner of the heart was in, or what kind of pain he was in, when the heart was cut out. He only knew his own state of mind and what kind of pain he was in.
You won’t know until you try it.
The red half of the heart was so bright that it looked like it was dripping with blood, and the severely damaged order was still embedded in the blurred cross section of flesh and blood.
The young man handed it to Jianchou.
Jianchou clearly hated the fact that he had used all means to win and even touched her sore spot by using the past matter of their closest flesh and blood. However, at this moment, she could hardly control the surge of emotions in her heart.
After a pause, she reached out and took the half heart in her palm.
It was actually warm.
As soon as half of the heart left his hand, the face of the coroner Wang began to change uncontrollably. A fierce look suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, and his pupils were filled with a deep blue of weirdness!
"kill!"
A word seemed to be ground out from between teeth!
As soon as he finished speaking, the man rushed out and tried to attack Jianchou!
Jianchou almost subconsciously raised his hand and swung his sword, piercing his forehead the moment his palm reached him!
How sharp and murderous is the aura of Yixiantian
This instant alone destroyed Coroner Wang's already fragile soul, causing him to fall backwards with his head tilted back.
"Hahaha, how sad and pathetic! That's true!"
The fishy-smelling soil carried his weightless soul, but he still used his last breath to grin at Jianchou with a deep, vengeful malice and a gloomy and strange look in his eyes, as if this was his true nature.
Finally, it gradually disappeared.
He said vaguely: "Emperor Zi, Yan Jun's fate. If you kill Qin Guang, who knows, you may become the next Qin Guang..."
Tear marks streaked into the corners of his eyes.
The devilish nature is gone, and the human nature is gone too.
Coroner Wang lay on the filthy mud and blinked his eyes, as if he was back in the old days when he was playing tricks on people at the straw sandal stall in the City of Wrongful Death. A smile hung on his lips, but his eyes gradually lost their luster.
The fox's true spirit appeared, but was blown away by the wind in an instant.
After his soul was scattered, only the golden ancient characters that were originally deeply nailed into his soul were left, gathered in the depression on the ground, like a pool of dark golden water, and the dim Book of Life and Death fell beside it.
besides…
In Jianchou's palm, there is this half-bloody innocent heart!
