warn
Ye Yunlan's footsteps froze for a moment, and the pale knuckles squeezed the missing shadow in his hand.
He said coldly: "...you think too much."
Shen Shu listened and didn't ask any further, but the corners of his lips curved slightly, and there was a bit of cunning in his half-smile but not smiling expression.
The singing from the darkness suddenly became louder.
The song is distant and ethereal, as if it came from an extremely distant past, separated from life and death. The melody of the song is sad, but it attracts people to listen to it constantly, as if it can give people eternal peace.
A faint green fire light first lit up in the dark, and everything began to take shape slowly.
What appeared in front of the two of them was a world completely different from the previous one.
The eyes of the undead flying all over the sky flickered with green soul fire, and a road of bones piled up from underfoot winding forward, and at the end, there was a huge and magnificent palace of bones.
The appearance of the Palace of Bone Bone is very peculiar, full of the rough taste of the ancient times.
The door of the hall opened to both sides, and sad and ethereal songs came from the hall.
At this moment, Ye Yunlan heard a "click".
He turned his head and saw that the "door" behind him that they had walked through when they came in had quietly closed, as if it had never existed.
A wind blows, bringing white confetti flying all over the sky.
The scraps of confetti floated over their heads like a galaxy, and he saw that among them were huge, folded paper houses, paper figures with hollow features, and messy paper furniture. , meandering to the temple of bones.
"Master, could this place still be... an illusion?"
Shen Shu asked.
It seems that such a strange sight can only be explained by the word "illusion".
Ye Yunlan did not answer immediately.
He looked at the hall of white bones from afar, and vaguely glimpsed some indescribable mighty power from there, which was somewhat similar to the power he had in his previous life, the realm of stepping into the void, but more vast, scattered, and floating.
He took out a heart-clearing talisman and crushed it. The effect of the talisman did not dispel the strange sight in front of him at all.
When I closed my eyes, I only felt that the things around me were illusory and unreal, as if they were still in an illusion, but it was slightly different from the previous illusion.
Ye Yunlan remembered his previous life. When he entered the secret realm of the Netherworld, his cultivation base was still low. But there are some vague guesses. Ye Yunlan said: "Maybe."
Shen Shu: "Maybe?"
Ye Yunlan: "The first floor of the entire Nether Secret Realm is originally composed of different illusions, big, small and small. The phantom formations are connected to each other, occupying almost 90% of the entire first floor of the secret realm. You said This place is also an illusion, so it is not surprising."
Shen Shu listened with great interest, and suddenly said: "How does the master know so much? I remember that the Nether Secret Realm has not been opened for a long time. We are still the first batch of people to enter here. It's just ramming around like headless flies."
Ye Yunlan glanced at him sideways, and said coldly: "I'm not like you, as soon as I entered the secret realm, I was confused by the illusion, and didn't know where I was or who I met. I knew that I was a headless fly. , but you have to keep rambling.”
Hearing this, Shen Shu suddenly smiled and said, "Is Shizun still mad at him just now?"
Ye Yunlan pursed her lips, ignored his question, and just turned the topic back.
"If what I said is correct, the first layer of the secret realm is constructed by the illusion, then why did the Netherworld Emperor design this way? If it is to prevent outsiders from breaking in, the illusion formation is not the best way. If he wants to, there are more simple and effective ways to prevent outsiders from breaking into this secret realm, and there is no need to spend time on setting up the illusion."
Ye Yunlan knew exactly what kind of realm Ta Xu was.
It is only one step away from the final demarcation between mortals and immortals, and it already possesses incredible power, and with a single thought, it can overturn the universe. Even if the body dies, the traces of the corpse left behind can still possess some of the power of his life, which cannot be cut off for thousands of years.
Shen Shu also didn't interrupt, and asked, "Why?"
Ye Yunlan was silent for a moment, and said, "Perhaps these illusions are not meant to block outsiders from coming in at all, but just to guide... the conversion of dead souls."
Shen Shu's pupils were as black as ink, and he muttered to himself, "Death... the conversion of the soul?"
Ye Yunlan said: "Emperor Netherworld was born 5,000 years ago, and at that time, it was the period when the great calamity began, the stars were chaotic, the cycle of reincarnation collapsed, and all evils were rampant."
"That was the second world catastrophe recorded in this world, which was later called by the history books - ghost chaos."
Shen Shu's pitch-black eyes rolled for a while, and then he said, "Master said, your disciples also understand something. History records that the heaven and the earth changed at that time. The sacrifices caused corpses to be scattered everywhere, living beings smashed into charcoal, and the number of ghosts was expanding, almost overthrowing the world. In the end, it was the emperor of the underworld who rebuilt the underworld, restored the cycle of reincarnation, and finally ended the ghosts. "
He paused and continued: "It's just that the theory of the underworld is very vague, it is only recorded in books, but it has never appeared in the world. For five thousand years, no one has been able to really find the place of the underworld. The cave dwellings are all over the five continents and four seas, and there are many more secret realms, but there is not a single one that can be called an underworld."
Having said this, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he said, "Master mentioned this, do you think that this secret realm is the underworld established by the legendary Nether Emperor?"
Ye Yunlan was a little surprised by Shen Shu's understanding of these ancient things.
He frowned, and his face was illuminated by the ghost fire? Even more pale, silent for a moment, said: "There are some things, the cultivation base has not yet arrived, don't explore too much. You follow me."
After saying that, he walked towards the Palace of White Bones.
Shen Shu followed him and stared sideways at this man's indifferent face. He always felt that this man's body was so thin that it seemed as if the wind was blown away, and there were many hidden knowledge and secrets that he didn't know. More and more I want to take this person apart and explore.
Ye Yunlan noticed that his scorching gaze had been staying on him, and his steps were getting faster and faster. After a long while, he finally couldn't help turning his head and said, "What?"
Shen Shu smiled and said, "Although the master warned me, the disciples are still curious about the affairs of the underworld."
Ye Yunlan: "Too much curiosity is not good for cultivation."
"But Shizun," Shen Shu still had a smile on his lips, "Even though the matter of reincarnation in the underworld has always been in the legends, mortals still worship ghosts and gods all year round, and they don't get tired. Born with reverence, and disciples are curious about the underworld, just like people want to know where they were born and where they will go? Isn’t it normal?”
Ye Yunlan said: "It's not necessary."
As he spoke, he seemed to realize that his tone seemed to be too indifferent, pursed his lips, and said: "All things are born in heaven and earth and return to heaven and earth, but heaven and earth are not benevolent, and they regard all things as cud. Existence, reincarnation is self-generated, and in normal times, people do not need to set up a separate underworld to regulate and judge.”
As for when things aren't right...
Ye Yunlan didn't say any more.
Holding his sword, he walked forward among the ghosts in the sky, and was already standing in front of the Palace of White Bones.
The ethereal voice of the dead is very close.
He stepped up the steps one step at a time, and walked past the large white bone door that opened opposite, and inside was a faint darkness.
Stepping on the hard and smooth ground, the footsteps echoed especially clearly.
The big white bone door slowly closed, the cast iron on both sides ignited faintly bloody fires one after another, and in front of them was an incomparably high and wide hall.
They are at the bottom of the hall. The steps meander up one step at a time. The top is a huge wooden case. Behind the wooden case is a black high chair. Behind the high chair is a large wooden case. It is a wide wall with a gloomy picture scroll painted on the wall.
Its mountain of fire, knife-cut oil pan, copper-pillar steamer... Countless human figures with crooked limbs wailed on the scroll, depicting a pair of "Eighteen Hells Crucifixion".
There was no one sitting on the high chair, but under the gloomy flames, Ye Yunlan felt that there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes watching him. It's just that the surrounding fire is too dark? It's too dark, and it's hard for the blurred vision to find those silhouettes hidden in the darkness.
In that ear, the singing of the deceased has been in a trance. It has turned into the cries of thousands of ghosts in the picture scroll, and the eighteenth level on the picture scroll? In a trance, I remembered the scene in which the world was like hell in the previous life.
At that time, his life was about to come to an end, and even if he had done his best, he did not have the fearlessness and selflessness that the Netherworld Emperor chose to use his own body to fight the calamity.
The human race called him Ghost Sha, and regarded him as unknown.
And the people and things he cares about have been far away from him for a long time.
He has no ambition to save people.
He spent the rest of his life collecting that person's remnant soul, but in the end, he was defeated, and it was impossible to defeat the will of God.
However, even
In the end, he still took the same path as the Great Emperor Netherworld.
When Ye Yunlan was in a trance, Shen Shu's voice came from the side: "Master, be careful!"
He was hugged by a pair of strong arms and fell to one side, at the same time, a cold cold light passed by in front of him with the sound of the wind.
Ye Yunlan's pupils shrank, and it was clear that what attacked them was actually a blood-red chain.
The chain stretched out from a tube of black sleeves, and was still bleeding down. The owner of the sleeves was slender, wearing a high hat, and was very ghostly. I am afraid it is the legendary " Black impermanence" is no different.
Just taking a closer look, the black impermanent facial features are pale and stiff, and he doesn't look like a human or a ghost. He is slender but too thin.
Shen Shu protected him and rolled twice on the ground, dodging the attack. Ye Yunlan was held in his arms, and saw countless paper copper coins falling from the dark dome of the main hall like snowflakes, falling all over his head.
Ghost shadows flew around him, and the blood-colored chains in Hei Wuchang’s hands were staggered and extended, like cobwebs blocking them? All retreats, when the heaven and earth webs formed, the paper figurine’s body lowered its head and stood on the left side of the black wooden case. .
There is also a white shadow on the right side of the wooden case. It is Bai Wuchang with a pale complexion, sticking there like a ghost.
And on the seat behind the wooden case, I don't know when there is a hazy figure.
The body is as tall and large as a mountain, with an indistinct appearance, but the heavy pressure exuding from the whole body is the heaviness that can only be possessed by the ability to step on the virtual realm.
A good one? Vice Hades to do school.
Ye Yunlan's eyes were fixed on the top, and a name was about to come out of his heart.
- Emperor Netherworld, Xie Jiuyou.
He was suspicious.
Such an aura is not like an illusion, what is in front of him is the remnant soul left by Xie Jiuyou after the great calamity, or...
The King of Hell, who was sitting on the high hall, did not speak. Instead, the sound of ghost howls from the scroll behind him became louder and whispered in his ear.
"Did you hear the voice?" Ye Yunlan asked Shen Shu.
From his angle, he couldn't see Shen Shu's face behind him, and he couldn't see the smile and gloomy eyes on Shen Shu's face that had disappeared.
Only Shen Shu's voice came from his ears.
"Certainly heard. 'They?', asking me for guilt."
He paused, nonchalantly.
"—they? Are you asking me, have you ever indulged in killing evil and maiming innocents, forced a good person to be a prostitute, indulged in lustful pleasures, or been unfaithful or unfilial, and disobeyed your elders. Master, how should I answer?"
Ye Yunlan's body froze slightly due to the young man's hoarse voice and the heat he exhaled. In order to protect him, Shen Shu still held one hand on his shoulder, pinching it tightly.
He frowned and raised his hand to take Shen Shu's claws away, and said, "There is no need to admit anything that has never been done before."
"What if I did?" Shen Shu half-smiled, "Are they going to sentence me to perpetual death to Yama and not to be reborn?"
It seems that the words "no supernatural" hurt Ye Yunlan's nerves, he suddenly clenched the Quying Sword tightly, and said coldly.
"Hugh! It's nonsense! ... If you really want to be convicted, you should sentence me first."
He held the Asura Sword and followed the path of death and annihilation. His hands were once stained with blood, and he had killed countless crimes. Even if he did good deeds later, it was not for the good deeds he did and the virtue he accumulated.
If it is about sin, he should have gone to hell long ago, and he will not be able to be reborn.
Shen Shu was stunned for a while, but then he smiled slightly, "Master Qingfengmingyue, in the sea of fire, sacrificed his life to save countless people, and the king of hell? How can I have the heart to judge you."
"Even if it is true that King Yama has no eyes and you are convicted and your disciple owes you a life, you should go to the underworld with your master and be punished for your master."
He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, whispering softly in Ye Yunlan's ear.
"I only hope that Master... don't leave me alone. It's good to be in the mortal world."
Ye Yunlan was stunned for a moment, with an angry expression on his face.
"—Shen Shu, this is the secret realm of the Netherworld, isn't it a place where you can do whatever you want? You can joke around!"
But Shen Shu said, "Since the master knows it's a joke, why bother?"
Obviously in danger and predicament, he slowly picked up the paper money glued to the clothes for Ye Yunlan, "Those ghosts keep chattering, it's really annoying. The disciple just saw that the master was in a dull mood, and wanted to joke a few words to relieve the master's worries. That's it."
Is it a joke, too? Only he knows it.
Ye Yunlan didn't know the truth of what he said, but he was really annoyed by Shen Shu's words "go to the netherworld together".
I wanted to get up and reprimanded, but the dense chains that occupied this space still sealed all their moving spaces.
Fortunately, the King of Hell in the seat seemed to have finally lost his sight, only to hear the gavel slap, the lingering ghost howls stopped, and the solemn and solemn voice of the King of Hell came.
"Do you know the guilt?"
Hades' voice echoed in the palace.
Ye Yunlan didn't answer, but just kept his eyes closed and observed, trying to observe what the hell king's underworld in front of him really was, but he heard Shen Shu say something next to him: "I don't know."
Ye Yunlan frowned even more, and wanted Shen Shu to speak carefully. After all, the Netherworld is great? The emperor's cultivation base had already stepped on the virtual world, and the methods of stepping on the virtual realm cultivator are beyond ordinary practitioners? Imagine, if you accidentally touched something— Even if he can save Shen Shu's life, he may not be able to spend much time left to find a soul flower for the other party.
"I don't know?" Hades said coldly.
Shen Shu said: "I really don't know. However, it is rumored that the underworld King Yama can see through the sky, and he can understand the events of his life and judge whether the living are guilty or not. But please let the King of Hell teach you."
"Shen Shu!" Ye Yunlan couldn't help but warn in a low voice, but Shen Shu held her shoulder and squeezed it lightly.
The young man lowered his voice and said: "Master, don't worry, I have my senses. However, I just want to try it out. I want to try the real and fake Hades, so as not to be deceived by the illusory illusion. I think that the amount of Hades' belly recorded in the history books will not be deceived. These disciples are tempted to provoke anger."
Ye Yunlan frowned deeply.
How can he be assured of this
Since entering the secret realm of the Netherworld, Shen Shu has violated his behavior more and more, Ye Yunlan pursed his pale and thin lips, and after all, taking into account the current situation, he didn't say any more.
Waiting to go out... If he still has the life to go out, he must discipline Shen Shu well.
It's so worrying!
The face of the King of Hell was shrouded in obscurity, and his body as tall as a mountain was like a black curtain shrouding the underworld. He looked at the two people under the seat and said.
"Okay, then? As you wish. Come on, open the evil mirror."
On both sides of the wooden case, two impermanence made by paper figures bowed to him in a salute.
Hearing the chain in Hei Wuchang's hands stretching and retracting, Ye Yunlan heard the sound of gears rattling on the surrounding walls, and then the bluestone floor in front of them was lifted to both sides, revealing a hole, which can be seen below. The flames churned.
A wave of heat poured out from the entrance of the cave, and the heat was different from ordinary heat.
Ye Yunlan's face became even paler, the body of a mortal could not withstand the fire of hell, and there was a divine fire raging in his body. Even so, his expression remained unmoved.
Instead, Shen Shu snorted coldly, raised his sleeves and waved, and the scorching heat spread out, and he could only swirl around the two of them, making it difficult to get close.
A huge stone mirror connected to the stone platform under the seat was slowly pulled up from the flames by chains, and the voice of the King of Hell came again.
The voice was cold, majestic and ruthless.
"Under the cave is the eighteen levels of hell. The evil mirror can be traced back to cause and effect, and ghosts have their own place to return. Please."
Part of the black and impermanent chains have been loosened, revealing a path leading to the evil mirror stage ahead.
Opening a mirror to try crimes, does the King of Hell really see them as ghosts
Before Ye Yunlan could think carefully, he noticed that Shen Shu, who was beside him, was about to move, as if he really wanted to get on the evil mirror stage to have a look.
Shen Shu was really eager to try.
He was very curious, whether this so-called evil mirror can really reflect his sins, and also wanted to know where he would be sentenced by the hell king of this underworld with his monster body.
Maybe it is the bottom of the eighteen layers of hell, the legendary endless hell? The smile on Shen Shu's face widened.
If this is the case, he would have to compare it carefully. Compared with Moyuan, Wuji? Will hell be more cruel and hard, and will there be monsters like him born in it? Or a ghost
Monsters are crazy by nature. Although he barely has a human form, he is no exception.
Shen Shu's thoughts wanted to make a noise, and he couldn't wait to step forward to try, but he was caught off guard by Ye Yunlan.
The hand was slender and strong, clasping his fingers tightly.
Shen Shu looked down.
Ye Yunlan's side face showed a more stern look than usual in the dim firelight, like a flower of ice on the top of the cloud piercing his eyes, that beauty is sharper than the blade of a knife, but the other's palm is softer than running water, teach him Suddenly stunned.
"Don't go there," Ye Yunlan said, "That's not something you can handle."
This time, Ye Yunlan's words did not give Shen Shu any leeway.
Then, Shen Shu saw his master stand up, the plain white sleeves fell down, brushed his cheeks, like soft snowflakes falling on his face.
"Wait here. Master will be back soon."
After the other party finished speaking, he walked towards the evil mirror stage.
Shen Shu finally came back to his senses, and immediately stood up, but heard a crisp clattering sound, Hei Wuchang chained his hands and formed a net to block in front of him.
"The evil mirror only takes pictures of one person at a time."
Hades Road.
Shen Shu's eyes were dark red for a moment. He wanted to draw his sword, but the afterglow sword squeaked under his exposed killing intent.
Ye Yunlan's eyesight is not good, but his hearing is good. He has stepped on the stone steps of the evil mirror, but at this moment, he turned around, looked at Shen Shu, and said lightly.
"If you follow up again, from now on, you don't need to call me Master again."
Shen Shu's footsteps suddenly stopped in place.
Ye Yunlan didn't look at Shen Shu's expression. In this life, what he has decided to do, no one can stop him.
He stepped onto the evil mirror stage.
Underneath is a sea of hellfire burning, flying sparks drifting in front of him, without Shen Shu's shelter, the scorching pain is eroding his body. However, still can be patient.
The underworld is a legend. When mortals sacrificed to ghosts and gods, they imagined the world after death, and compiled them into texts and paintings to spread, and they became the underworld in people's imagination. But in fact, before the Nether Emperor, there was no underworld. Myths after all? Just myths.
Later, the establishment of the underworld was difficult to describe in a few words. In the final analysis, it was the time, the fate, and the fortune, which were dominated by the Nether Emperor.
And the Nie Jingtai, as one of the three peerless magic weapons used by the Nether Emperor to suppress the underworld, has always been coveted by treasure hunters of later generations.
This stone platform is neither real nor virtual, and the huge stone mirror on it can reflect the whole person into it, reflecting all the sins in life.
Innocent ghosts can naturally stand on the stone platform safe and sound, but once they are judged guilty by the King of Hell, the stone platform will be turned into a virtual reality, causing the ghosts above to fall into the sea of hell fire and burn up their sins before they can be reincarnated.
In Ye Yunlan's memory of his previous life, the Nie Jingtai was not born in the Nether Secret Realm, but another Treasure that shook the world was born in the Nether Secret Realm.
And also? Because of that treasure, he was framed and slandered to kill his fellow disciple, and He Lanze abolished his meridian cultivation base and expelled him from the sect.
Ye Yunlan's mind flashed the information related to the underworld and Nie Jingtai in his previous life, and his footsteps finally stood on the stone platform, and his eyes were turned into the stone mirror.
The smooth stone mirror clearly reflected the appearance of his whole body and his cold eyebrows. He saw the words above the stone mirror: "There is no good person in front of the evil mirror".
According to legend, if a good soul has an empty spirituality and its own soul light is flawless and flawless, the evil mirror will not reflect its image, but if it is a wicked soul, the more vicious it will be, the more it will look like. Clearly, that's how the saying "there are no good people in front of the mirror" comes from this.
It seems that he has been convicted of a great crime by this mirror
Ye Yunlan's expression was slightly cold.
Why is it good or bad? What is sin
In the underworld, on the stage of evil mirrors, whatever is reflected is a sin.
The images in the mirror flowed quickly, reflecting the scene where he was hanging in the Law Enforcement Hall, being spurned by many disciples, and dragged down the three thousand stone steps outside the sect, and then the scene changed, reflecting that he was attacked by the world, imprisoned The scene of entering the Buddha Pagoda, as well as the scene where he was dressed in wedding clothes, formed a blood pact with Chen Weiyuan, and was held in his arms by the Demon Venerable - those light and shadows were extremely flowing in front of Ye Yunlan's eyes? It is grotesque and absurd, and counts the sins tainted in him.
When he was a disciple, he behaved badly, and being exiled by the sect was a crime.
When you are a human being, it is a sin to betray your fellow clan and join forces with different demons.
When you are a wife, you are half-hearted, and it is a sin to be unfaithful to your Taoist partner.
…
After several sins were added, the stone platform below the evil mirror gradually became transparent. As soon as the king of hell was shocked, he would be sent into the sea of hell fire.
And in the mirror, a few bloody, twisted characters appeared - "Do you know the crime?"
Ye Yunlan suddenly laughed.
Shen Shu stood behind him. Intentionally? Unintentionally? Ye Yunlan's figure just blocked his eyes from prying into the stone mirror.
He could only listen to the slightly abrupt laughter of his master, and stayed in the gloomy underworld for a long time, as if he saw the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Ye Yunlan seldom smiled, as it is now, this is the first time Shen Shu has ever seen it.
The other party's light laughter was like a clear spring hitting a stone, which was very pleasant, but Shen Shu heard the anger in his heart, the afterglow sword in his hand was about to be unsheathed, and he wanted to cut off the chain in front of him, and the side on the stage. Damn stone mirror.
He even wanted to go forward and hug Ye Yunlan's thin back so that he would stop laughing.
Only when he looked at the stone platform that had become translucent, could his reason be able to restrain his impulse.
I can only hear the voice of the King of Hell on the seat: "The evil mirror is traced back to the cause and effect, and now the cause and effect has been revealed, the good and the evil are self-distinguishing, are you still not convinced?"
Ye Yunlan stopped her laughter, and her expression revealed laughter. On the contrary, it was deadly cold, and said, "If you want to add a crime, why don't you worry about it."
King Yama said: "You forget your righteousness when you see profit, and you betray your fellow sect. It is unrighteous. It is unrighteous for you to join forces with others, to help Zhou and abuse, it is inhumane. You become a Taoist partner with others, and you leave a blood pact, and you are unfaithful with outsiders. In this way, people who are unkind, unrighteous and unfaithful, according to the laws of the underworld, should go to the hot hell and be punished for a hundred years.
Shen Shu heard scarlet flashes in his eyes.
His mind seemed to be divided into two halves, one half was listening with great interest, while the other half was supposed to be suppressed by Shenmian. But suddenly stood up and retorted in anger.
Forget about profit and betray fellow students
His master had sacrificed his life to help his fellow disciples, even at the expense of his whole body cultivation. And these days, he hadn't seen the other person's interest in any treasure.
Join forces and help Zhou to abuse
His master is clean and self-absorbed, and he likes to live alone. How could he ever join forces with others? Those who are coveted by the outside world, his master would feel dirty if he touches it.
... As for forming a contract with others and cooperating with outsiders, it is even more nonsense based on the character of his master!
What kind of bullshit trial is it? It's nonsense!
Shen Shu's eyes were fixed on Ye Yunlan, but he saw Ye Yunlan was very quiet, with white clothes and black hair on his back, looking thin and almost empty.
Dishonest, unrighteous and disloyal people.
Ye Yunlan thought quietly, this is really similar to the judgment of him in the previous life.
Because it was too similar, the sense of absurdity and ridicule that suddenly rose in his heart when he saw the scene in the mirror also disappeared into nothingness.
He looked indifferent, as if those accusing him were just fallen leaves floating on his shoulders, and he didn't even bother to brush them.
-Even though the stone platform under his feet has become more and more transparent, and the hand of the King of Hell on the high platform is about to be photographed.
Ye Yunlan said: "It's ridiculous."
Hades said: "Ridiculous?"
Ye Yunlan said: "Everything I saw in front of my eyes and heard in my ears was ridiculous."
"The underworld is built by people, and one of the judges is born."
"Can a person's merits and demerits, sins, and cause and effect really be judged by people themselves?"
The King of Hell said coldly, "Isn't it supposed to be?"
Ye Yunlan: "Right and wrong change from time to time. There is no constant and unchanging good in the world, and there is no constant and unchanging evil. Because the distinction between good and evil is only defined by people themselves. And people change."
"What's more, what the human eye sees may not be true."
In the age of ghosts and chaos, the world needs to rebuild order, need strict etiquette, and the underworld needs to shock people. Building evil mirrors and judging people's good and evil is part of rebuilding the order.
However, the Nether Emperor's evil mirror stage, which was cultivated by the practice of stepping on the virtual, could not truly see the cause and effect and act for the heaven.
What the King of Hell sees is what the world sees, and what the underworld deters is also the heart of the world. It's just that the era of relying on the underworld to balance order has passed. The Nether Emperor, who fought the calamity with his own body, eventually turned into the dust of the years.
But at this moment, in the face of Ye Yunlan's words, the King of Hell was not angry, but the voice was still indifferent, as ruthless and ruthless as a real immortal.
He said: "I use my body to control the calamity, my soul is integrated into the underworld, and I use it to control hundreds of millions of ghosts and quell the chaos of the ghosts. The rules I set have stood the test of the great calamity of heaven and earth, and are recognized by the heaven. I live in the underworld. , then? Should abide by my rules, what's wrong?"
Ye Yunlan said: "So? I said it was ridiculous."
"Men eat fish, and people kill people. The former is innocent, the latter is extremely evil. This is good and evil determined by people. Your rules."
He closed his eyes.
"And the heaven and the earth are not benevolent, and they regard all things as stubborn dogs."
Hades did not speak again.
Ye Yunlan raised his sword, pointed it at the stone mirror in front of him, and said.
"Xie Jiuyou, your time has passed."
He directly called the opposite party's name, but his expression was not at all humble and cowardly, as if the person in front of him was not the high-ranking King of Hell or the Nether Emperor recorded in the history books, but just a person who had long since passed away. , You can look at people.
The cold sword light strikes the stone mirror like a long rainbow.
And the gavel in the hands of the King of Hell did not fall after all.
The legendary stone mirror forged with the incomparably hard fairy stone turned into scraps of paper in this blow, and at the same time, there were paper money and chains scattered all over the sky. , and the king of hell shrouded outside, like a mountain-like robe.
Ye Yunlan was not surprised when he looked at the evil mirror table that had turned into confetti and dissipated.
His conjecture was not wrong. The entire White Bone Hall was actually just a phantom shadow reflected by the fluctuations of the soul of the Nether Emperor who had passed away.
Black and white impermanence is false, so is the evil mirror stage.
It is only because stepping on the virtual realm has the ability to turn the virtual into the real, so in his previous feeling, everything around him is so realistic and illusory, it is difficult to distinguish.
A faint sigh came from the heights.
"Yeah. It's all over now..."
The voice was no longer the low and solemn King of Hell, but became clear and soft, like a young scholar.
Ye Yunlan raised his eyes and saw that after the heavy robes were removed, the real figure of the King of Hell was revealed.
The appearance of the other party is not as dignified and solemn as the people in the world, and the figure is even very thin.
Its figure has been translucent, and it is about to dissipate.
The faint flames penetrated his cheek, and he sat behind the large wooden table, and what he was holding was no longer gavel, but a white paper crane.
"Butterfly..."
The King of Hell was holding the Thousand Paper Crane in his hand and whispered, as if he was a little lost.
Ye Yunlan slowly sheathed his sword and heard hurried footsteps behind him.
Shen Shu hugged him tightly from behind.
"Master," he used his arms hard, his voice a little bit gnashing his teeth, "Did you know that you were about to fall into the sea of hell fire just now, and your bones were gone—" Ye Yunlan frowned. Said: "Those are just illusions."
"Even if it's an illusion," Shen Shu said, "I won't allow you, there's a little bit of misunderstanding—" His tone was somber and domineering that he was somewhat familiar, Ye Yunlan was startled, trying to break away from his embrace, but was still held Tight to die, he gave a low voice: "Shen Shu."
Up to now, he has no time to correct the other party's delusions. He can successfully obtain the soul flower in the secret realm and help Shen Shu lift the restraint on his body. He has already calculated the cause and effect of his life, and as for everything in the future... It is no longer in the scope of his participation.
He raised his hand and pulled Shen Shu's hands and feet wrapped around him. After tossing for a while, he pulled the entangled apprentice away. Shen Shu's eyes seemed to be a little red. He ignored it, but raised his eyes and looked up. The figure before the case has become more and more illusory.
Ye Yunlan walked up and saw the young scholar rubbing the white paper crane on his hand, with faint tears on his face.
"I've forgotten a lot of things after I fit into the underworld." The scholar said, "Ghost chaos is the calamity of heaven and earth. There are too many ghosts lingering in the world. Even if stepping into the virtual world can open up a space to accommodate them, In the end, it is difficult to last for a long time. In the end, I can only suppress and strengthen this space with my body, and deal with it one by one with the remaining spirit and long years. People call this space the underworld, and they call me the king of hell. Come on, I'm nothing but an undead who has forgotten even the people he loves and the things he wants."
"These years, the calamity of ghosts has passed, and I will also disappear. In the underworld, there is only the last ghost left."
In the depths of the underworld, the ethereal singing of the dead is still coming.
The singing is soft and ethereal, but with a bit of sadness.
The scholar raised his head, held the white thousand-paper crane in his palm, and said, "You guys? Since you have come to this thing, can you help me hand it over to her?"
"Since you have already remembered it, why don't you go see it in person?" Ye Yunlan said.
The scholar was silent for a while, said.
"I can't save her."
Ye Yunlan looked down at the King of Hell who was sitting on the high seat. Fang Fang's young and handsome face was filled with exhaustion and prayer. It really didn't look like the King of Hell, but a traveler who had been wandering for a long time and didn't know how to return home.
he opened his mouth.
"Can."
Seeing his promise, the scholar showed a slight expression of gratitude, and once again lowered his head to look at the thousand paper cranes in his hands, his fingertips trembling and stroking.
In the next instant, the already transparent soul dissipated, and the dim fire around it gradually extinguished.
On the rotten wooden case, there is a white skull.
And one more? Just put it on the skull fat
