Why do you suddenly feel that this underworld is inexplicably scary
After Youqin Xuanya left Fengdu City, Li Changshou kept his head calm and slowly flew out of the Netherworld, then immediately pressed Youqin Xuanya's shoulder, and quickly cast the water escape...
"Brother?"
"I'll take you back to the mountain gate first," Li Changshou said in a deep voice, "Suddenly there is something urgent to deal with here."
"If there is Xuan Ya who can help..."
In the middle of Youqin Xuanya's words, feeling the swiftness of the escape technique at this time, she tactfully stopped her words.
It seems that at this time she really can't help Senior Brother Changshou, she will only cause him trouble.
"I can handle it, so don't worry," Li Changshou agreed, and said in a voice: "Let's go back to the mountains to practice well.
Remember to find an opportunity to tell Uncle Jiang that you intend to serve in the Heavenly Court, and I will talk to you in detail about other things later. "
After saying that, Li Changshou began to concentrate on controlling the evasion technique, returning more attention to his body, and in the secret room of Xiaoqiong Peak, he drew a picture of what he had seen before.
He drew three portraits in a row, all of which were the scene of the woman in the black skirt crying on the lake, and then sat in the armchair, unable to recover for a long time.
When encountering such a strange event in the prehistoric world, is my reaction too excessive
No, this reaction was the result of Li Changshou's suppression of his Dao heart fluctuations!
Just now, the sadness came out, and Li Changshou's heart was filled with extremely gloomy emotions. He, a foreign registered permanent residence owner who had a good life in his previous life, almost burst into tears.
Although it is not a sin for a man to cry, if he was assimilated by this sad dao rhyme at that moment just now, it would cause great trauma to his dao heart...
That eldest sister, what is the name
Ask yourself to save her
Near the Underworld, Six Paths of Reincarnation...
After careful analysis, compared with the situation of several times when I boarded the Samsara Immortal Island, the only extra event this time seems to be the opening of the gates of the 18th floor of hell.
The greatest possibility is that in the 18th floor of hell, a certain powerful power is being suppressed!
But, why did he launch a mental attack on himself
The younger sister Youqin, who obviously has mood swings and relatively low cultivation, is the same
Li Changshou calculated with his fingers, searching for the secret, but because of his limited calculation skills, he could only deduce that the woman was a real 'spirit'.
What I see is definitely not an illusion.
Suddenly, Li Changshou thought of those two huge stone statues carrying six reincarnation disks on their backs.
Could it be that the woman who asked for help to him is a descendant of great virtue
But why is the Empress Dowager in such a situation
Reminiscent of the tragic situation when my paper Taoist entered the six-path reincarnation disk last time and lost contact for a short time, and then came out, and the traces of being spoofed when King Qin Guang and Chu Jiang entered the six-path reincarnation disk and came out again...
These evidences are enough to prove that Empress Houtu is in the six-path reincarnation disk, and she is very skinny.
Then, who is the person who asked for help
That 'senior wave'
This is also unlikely, when the Holy Mother mentioned the senior 'Lang' before, she had clearly stated that the fate of this senior 'Lang' was to be completely obliterated by the Dao of Heaven.
Daozu should be the one who took action against Senior Lang, and how could such an old and ruthless person as Daozu leave such a hidden danger
I just made three portraits, and I also wanted to test the way of heaven, but the result was the same...
This has completely ruled out that the person in the painting is "Senior Lang, Taboo of Heaven".
So, who is this woman
To be on the safe side, Li Changshou didn't intend to keep this matter a secret, otherwise he might be involved in strange karma.
What needs to be done at this time
report!
If you have any questions, ask your teacher!
Report the situation here to the Tushita Palace, and the risk that needs to be borne by the individual will be resolved in advance!
If this woman is a dangerous person, he just passively received the call for help and did nothing wrong.
Li Changshou recruited three paper priests, the coachmen, and asked them to take a picture scroll and head towards the temples of Tianting, Donghai, and Nanhai.
Although he was multitasking at this time, Li Changshou still focused most of his energy on his body, constantly pinching his fingers to figure out who the woman he saw was...
Half an hour later, there was the sound of rushing water in the Sea God Temple, but it was Zhao Gongming who returned just at this time.
Li Changshou got up to meet him, Zhao Gongming and the Holy Mother of Golden Light descended from the sky, with relaxed smiles on their faces...
"You two, have you discussed it?"
Li Changshou asked in a warm voice, Zhao Gongming and the Holy Mother of Golden Light nodded at the same time before their heads fell from the clouds.
Zhao Gongming sighed with a smile: "As you said, brother, the two of us really should give each other an explanation."
"Water God said that day that the golden light is clear," the Virgin of Golden Light leaned forward and saluted, "I have more yearning and respect for Senior Brother Gongming, and it is indeed uncomfortable to get along with him..."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "It's good that the two of you decide."
Afterwards, Li Changshou's heart moved, he deliberately showed a bit of embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "About the matter of this celebration, I'm afraid I can't help you two for the time being."
Our Lady of Golden Light hurriedly said, "This matter shouldn't bother the Water God."
Zhao Gongming asked directly: "But what trouble did you encounter suddenly?"
Li Changshou nodded solemnly, "Brother, how much do you know about Hell and Yin Division?"
"Dumb?"
Zhao Gongming couldn't help but wondered: "The Yin Division was established in ancient times, and it was before the current court. It was the ancestor of the Wu clan, the great virtuous and empress soil, who sacrificed himself and turned into a six-way reincarnation disk to guide the reincarnation of the souls that have nowhere to rest in the world, and then reincarnate for the living. .
In order to protect the reincarnation disk of the six realms and maintain the stability of the six realms of reincarnation in the three realms, there is the Underworld Yin Division... "
Li Changshou said in a low voice: "Is there any news that is unknown to most creatures, relatively remote and credible?"
Zhao Gongming pondered a few times, and the Holy Mother of Golden Light also helped him think.
Soon, Uncle Zhao said with a mentality of giving it a try:
"Great Virtue Houtu, who was once the top three powerful masters among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, do you know this brother
In the past, she stood on the earth and claimed to be invincible, and she herself is the closest to the innate Taoist body among the twelve ancestor witches, and has the deepest understanding of the Pangu God's way.
But this kind of thing is rarely mentioned after ancient times. "
Li Changshou nodded when he heard the words, and continued to look at Zhao Gongming with eyes full of expectation;
Uncle Zhao immediately knew that he had missed the point, and continued to lower his head and pinch his fingers to calculate.
The Holy Mother of Golden Light said from the side: "I have heard people say that the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk seems to be incomplete, just like the creation jade disk used by Master Daozu when he completed the Dao of Heaven.
There are loopholes in the way of heaven, and there is also a gap in the jade plate of good fortune, and the six reincarnation disks seem to be imperfect, with a few disadvantages. "
Li Changshou said with a smile beside him: "It is indeed so."
Our Lady of Golden Light, who was more mature and intellectual than the last time I met, also smiled a little embarrassedly...
She really can't help.
Li Changshou waited for a while, and asked Zhao Gongming directly: "Brother, did you see Empress Houtu in ancient times?"
"Of course," Zhao Gongming smiled with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, "Hou Tu Niang Niangzhai has a kind heart, even if it's a Lich War, she spends most of her time on the defensive and rarely kills.
I also had the honor to discuss the Dao with Empress Houtu, but it's a pity... Well, there is nothing pity about it, she just made her own choice and dedicated herself to the living beings and the Wuzu. "
While Zhao Gongming was speaking, Li Changshou had already taken a pen and ink from the desk, and with just a few strokes, he drew a profile face.
"Brother, do you know this person?"
"Isn't this the Queen Mother?"
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "Where did you see such a portrait... Brother, what's wrong with you? The expression is so wrong."
Li Changshou exhaled slowly, took a few steps back and sat back in the main seat.
This matter seems to be a bit beyond what I thought.
…
Two hours later, Li Changshou was finally sure that the bound woman on the lake, wearing a black dress and exuding endless sadness, was the rumored Empress Dowager.
The three portraits he made were first shown to Zhao Gongming, and Zhao Gongming said firmly that this was Empress Houtu.
Then Li Changshou's Paper Taoist went to the Dragon Palace, asked the Dragon Lord for news, and confirmed the matter again with the help of the knowledge storage of the 'Living Fossil of the Great Desolation'.
During this process, Li Changshou told Zhao Gongming the truth and concealed something from Longgong.
Without him, I'm just afraid that Dragon Palace will worry blindly.
In the back hall of the Sea God Temple, Zhao Gongming and Our Lady of Golden Light paced back and forth in front of Li Changshou, one holding his beard and the other pinching his chin, trying to help him think about what was going on here.
Zhao Gongming said: "The Empress Houtu asked you for help, but what's wrong with the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk
According to the secrets, everything in the underworld is safe and there is no sign of collapse. "
"Is it possible that it wasn't Empress Houtu asking for help from you?" The Holy Mother of Golden Light's eyes lit up, "Could it be you, the water god, who has a problem with your Dao heart?"
Li Changshou smiled helplessly, closed his eyes, a faint cyan light radiated from the body of the Paper Daoist, and a ray of pure dao rhyme flowed...
The Holy Mother of Golden Light exclaimed: "Fellow Taoist has actually cultivated the heart of Taoism without dirt, but Jin Guang just made a slip of the tongue."
Zhao Gongming said: "Why don't I go to Sanxian Island and ask? A few more people think together, it's better than we are helpless here."
"Brother, no," Li Changshou said sternly, "The less people know about this, the better, so as not to cause panic among living beings.
I'm going to ask Senior Brother Xuandu, or Laojun to find out, and I also ask Brother and Fellow Daoist Jin Guang not to mention this matter to anyone. "
"good!"
Zhao Gongming agreed with a serious face, and immediately took leave with the Holy Mother of Golden Light, and told Li Changshou not to worry too much about the two of them, and to take care of such important matters first...
This side has just sent away these two Jiejiao Immortals who are about to create history in the wild; Li Changshou's incarnation of the water god in the heavenly court has already flown outside the Tushita Palace.
The old gentleman was not in the palace when he was traveling, so Li Changshou easily found the archmage who was sleeping soundly in the backyard...
It's a pity that Li Changshou didn't get much useful information. He just reported the matter to the archmage, giving himself an extra layer of protection from liability.
The great mage also felt that this matter was full of strangeness, so he brought in the Taiji diagram, deduced his skills fully, and finally came to only one conclusion:
"There is no problem with the six-path reincarnation disk."
"Then, it is likely that Empress Houtu herself is the one who has the problem," Li Changshou said.
The great mage said solemnly: "Hou Tu Niang Niang is the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk is Hou Tu Niang Niang, the two are originally one.
The heavenly secret reveals that there is nothing wrong with the reincarnation disk of the six realms, so the Empress Houtu will also be fine.
Longevity, is it because the two uncles of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother went to the mortal world to experience calamities and left the affairs of the heavens to you. You have put too much pressure on yourself recently, which caused problems in your Dao heart? "
"This... I'm actually quite relaxed, heck, it's not that I don't care about the affairs of Heavenly Court, Heavenly Court itself doesn't have much to do."
Li Changshou explained a few words in embarrassment, and then said: "Master, can you please come with me to visit the old lady in the Palace of the Virgin?"
"It's a trivial matter," the archmage smiled and nodded, but he didn't ask any more questions, and agreed directly.
It's rare for Li Changshou to do things in such a hurry.
The main body is hidden in the body of the coachman Zhidao, and he secretly came to the Heavenly Court Tushita Palace to join the great mage;
The great mage directly broke through the universe with the Tai Chi diagram, and went to the Palace of the Virgin Mary.
The pair of brothers, who have not been officially announced to the public, left the land of Wubuzhou not long after, and appeared in the void dotted with stars outside the sky.
The archmage drove Li Changshou to fly towards a bright light, and before flying a hundred miles, there was a fairy light shining in front of him, and a portal appeared out of thin air, and the two of them were included in it.
It was that beautiful little thousand world again. The abundant aura, the refreshing breeze, and the unfettered laughter scattered in the wind made Li Changshou feel much more peaceful in an instant.
Two fairies came in two cloud boats and saluted from afar, one of them said:
"Your Majesty, I know why the two senior brothers came here. Please ask Brother Xuandu to wait in the hall. Your Majesty only saw the Water God today."
Master Xuandu nodded with a smile, and without saying anything, went to a cloud boat with his hands behind his back.
Li Changshou bowed to the archmage and jumped onto another ship.
The great mage exhorted: "Junior brother, don't lose your manners in front of the saint."
"Brother, don't worry," Li Changshou agreed, and glanced at the sets of comic books in his magic treasure storage, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, he...
How long will she be imprisoned by the saint empress this time!
But one advantage is that being locked up in the attic of the blank world by the saint empress gives me more time to refine my state of mind, hundreds of years inside, but only a moment outside...
The two cloud boats traveled halfway together and separated among the palaces.
Li Changshou was taken to the calm lake, directly arrived at the island in the middle of the lake, stood in front of the attic door, and made a bow.
"The disciple pays homage to the sage empress."
"Come in," came a somewhat lazy voice from inside the door, and the Holy Mother seemed to have just woken up.
Li Changshou turned his head and glanced behind him. The fairy leading the way had disappeared, so he raised his hand and pushed open the wooden door.
In front of him was a film shining with colorful streamers. Li Changshou stepped into it cautiously, feeling that the flow of time had almost returned to zero, and he entered the familiar room again.
Familiar pools, screens, carpets, decorative sets...
Empress Nuwa, who had changed into a warm yellow loose skirt, was floating in the pool at this moment, with an air cushion floating under her body;
A comic book written by Li Changshou floated in front of her, and there were all kinds of melon and fruit delicacies, as well as the empress's favorite iced juice.
Seeing this situation, Li Changshou felt a little powerless to complain.
Honghuang not only lacks wasabi, but the way of sashimi is difficult to complete.
There is also no happy water for Zhai Zhai, which makes Zhai Zhidao also lose a small part of happiness.
Cough, get down to business.
"Ma'am..."
"Have you seen Hou Tu?"
"Well," Li Changshou agreed honestly, bowing his head and not daring to look any further, "I came here to ask for an interview this time, and I want to ask my mother to clarify my doubts."
The goddess in the pool said calmly: "What do you want to know?"
Li Changshou fumbled in his sleeves for a while, and took out three stacks of thick books;
The girl in the pool closed the book in her hand with a snap, a satisfied smile appeared on her beautiful and solemn face:
"Tell me what you want to know.
The matter of Houtu is not considered taboo, but it is relatively secret, and only a few people know about it. "
Li Changshou made a salute, and sent the picture book over respectfully with immortal power.
After that, Li Changshou told all about what he had seen before, and took out the portrait.
Empress Nuwa moved the portrait over, held it in her hand and looked at it carefully, a little helplessness flashed across her phoenix eyes, "It's hard for her too."
"Your Majesty, how do you explain this?"
Nu Wa asked: "Have you ever entered the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk before?"
"The disciple went in once as an incarnation." Li Changshou couldn't help being a little surprised, "Doesn't your empress know about this?"
"If I want to know, I know it," Nuwa said indifferently, "but why do you think that a saint must monitor every living thing in the world all the time?"
Li Changshou couldn't help being dumbfounded: "This..."
"Well, I almost forgot," Nvwa narrowed her phoenix eyes lightly, and teased him, "You have a rather weird temper, if you become a saint, you will definitely monitor everything in the world, and you will definitely pay attention if you ask for trouble. enjoying the moment.
Naturally, you cannot be holy in this world. "
Li Changshou: "Your Majesty, it's too shocking for you to use such a flat tone.
Niangniang, you should tell the disciples about the future land. "
"No hurries?"
Nuwa raised her chin lightly, and Li Changshou turned around to look, only to see that the corner where he sat the last time he came had been transformed into a small study.
Low tables, cushions, screens, incense burners... the equipment is quite comprehensive.
"It's all here, no matter what, I have to draw another one.
As a thank you gift, I will point you to a bright path to earn merit in the underworld, and help you complete the golden body of merit, how about it? "
Li Changshou made a salutation very calmly, turned around and sat in the corner, spread out the paper, pen and ink skillfully, and took out a set of drawing tools such as calipers and templates.
He picked up his pen and drew for a while, and then started to ask and answer again, and Li Changshou also had a clue about the great merit of the underworld.
Not long after, hearing the sound of rushing water, the saint Nuwa stepped out of the pool, the snake tail turned into feet, and the short skirt turned into a golden long skirt.
Although she is casually dressed and has put away the majesty of the saint, the saint Nuwa has formed an unspeakable "aura" of her own, exuding holy brilliance all the time.
She went to the newly erected bookcase, and put the newly acquired works into it one by one; such a small matter that could be easily done with Xianli, but at the moment she was doing it very seriously.
"Your Majesty, the figure I saw..."
"It's the Houtu, but it's not the Houtu," Nuwa's voice was filled with regret, "You should know that if a living being is enlightened, it will have the seven emotions..."
Li Changshou paused for a brush in his hand, and immediately thought of something, "Could it be that Empress Houtu was influenced by reincarnated creatures?"
"That's right," Nuwa Saint said warmly, "Even if the soul has drank Mengpo soup before reincarnation and lost its own memory, it will always retain a faint trace of seven emotions.
The spirit of the soul enters the six-path samsara disk, but it cannot be reincarnated with the soul, so it will leave a trace of seven emotions in the six-path samsara disk, whether it is joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, or evil , or desire.
This is not because there is an error in the six-path reincarnation disk, but because the six-path reincarnation disk itself works like this.
When Houtu decided to incarnate into the reincarnation disc in ancient times, he had already made such preparations, but we sages and Houtu himself underestimated the complexity of the seven emotions of living beings;
Over time, Houtu's divine sense almost collapsed, and he had to completely integrate himself into the Six Paths of Samsara, and could no longer escape. "
Saint Nuwa paused for a while, and now she turned around and leaned against the bookcase, opened the first book of a new set of works brought by Li Changshou, and continued:
"But the reincarnation of living beings continues, especially after the human race has become the protagonist of the world, due to the limited lifespan, the reincarnation of the soul has become much more frequent.
However, the human race's seven emotions and six desires are the most among all races, which undoubtedly increases the burden on Houtu.
But she didn't complain to Tiandao, she endured silently until one day... "
"how?"
"She sealed herself, overflowing with the thoughts of the Seven Emotions, and walked out of the first incarnation of the Seven Emotions, which is the person you saw, the sorrow of the land."
Li Changshou couldn't recover after hearing the words for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that this incarnation was suppressed under the 18th floor of hell?"
"That's right," Nuwa said, "As far as I know, the seven emotions have appeared in three forms at this time, mourning, hatred, and lust, and mourning is the mildest, so they are suppressed in the eighteenth floor of hell.
Those who hate and desire are bound by Houtu in the reincarnation disk of the six realms. "
Li Changshou couldn't help asking: "What if the seven emotions are all incarnate?"
"Houtu should lose herself, turn from one to seven, and then her own will will be shattered," Nuwa Empress said after a pause, "She will completely turn into the spirit of the magic weapon of heaven, but this is definitely not a good thing for heaven.
If you can figure out a way to help Houtu get through such a crisis, Heavenly Dao will give you a lot of merit. "
Li Changshou said with a wry smile: "All saints and lords can't do anything about it, so what can disciples do?"
"No, you are different from us," Nuwa continued flipping through the picture album in her hand, as if casually pointing to Li Changshou, "I have some strange thoughts, perhaps only you have them in the prehistoric times.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Houtu will ask you for help through his own grief. "
Li Changshou pondered for a few moments, and then asked: "Empress Houtu and that senior flying in the waves..."
"It doesn't matter... Do you paint or not?"
"Draw, draw, ma'am, let me sort out my emotions and find inspiration," Li Changshou agreed, bowed his head and started to work.
