When Xie Bian wanted to ask Cui Jue what kind of plan he had, Cui Jue just said "Take you to a place", got up and left.
Cui Jue took Xie Bian away from Hades, Luofeng Mountain, and flew to the most desolate wilderness in Jiuyou. Xie Bian turned his head to look at Luofeng Mountain, which was getting smaller and smaller, and felt some subtle feelings in his heart.
Jiuyou has a vast and boundless territory. As big as Kyushu, Jiuyou is as big as it is. There are as many mountains, rivers and lakes in Kyushu. The same is true for Jiuyou. The two worlds of humans and ghosts are originally in the same place but in two spaces, just like The two sides of a copper plate are very different, but they can never be separated. Human life and death, longevity and death are just different forms of life, and the reason seems to be the same.
But the difference between Jiuyou and Kyushu is that it actually occupies only one Luofeng Mountain's underworld, but it controls the life and death of the entire underworld, rewards and punishments for merits and demerits, whether it is native ghosts or adopted ghosts, they must follow the rule of the underworld. , no one can escape karma and reincarnation.
In such a vast land as Jiuyou, countless ghost people are shackled by the gods sent by the lofty Jiutian. It is no wonder that Jiang Qulian would not accept the control of the underworld and the rules of reincarnation, and would say "Jiuyou is a ghost people." The Jiuyou".
They flew farther and farther away, and Luofeng Mountain had disappeared behind them. There were occasional blood-red flames on the dim ground, but most of them were endless darkness that could not be seen.
Xie Bian looked at Cui Jue's fluttering back, feeling uneasy. In the past, Zhong Kui took him to inspect Jiuyou a few times, but they didn't go very far. They were ghost generals, and their main job was to extradite souls from the world to the ghost world. It was Wufang who really managed Jiuyou and countless ghosts. Ghost Emperor, they will never go deep into the hinterland of Jiuyou for no reason.
"Mr. Cui, where are we going?" Xie Bian finally couldn't help asking.
Not long after, Cui Jue hovered above a ghost village. This ghost village is not big, surrounded by dense forests full of miasma, there is no ghost fire here, Jie Bian strengthened his eyesight, looked down, and found that the village was actually empty, and it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
"This is… "
"This is the village where Jiang Tori was born."
Xie Bian took a deep breath.
The aborigines of Jiuyou have ordinary ghosts as well as extremely vicious ghosts, just as there are good and evil in the world. Ordinary ghosts are no different from ordinary people, living a relatively peaceful life, and ghosts reborn from hell and hungry ghosts are the evil here. Although the ghosts reborn in the hell realm are extremely dangerous, most of them live in desolate and barren places such as deep mountains and swamps, and they have no consciousness. The threat is the hungry ghost.
The rebirth of a hungry ghost can even destroy a village or a town. Whenever a ghost baby is born, all the ghost people will be on guard, and if they find out that it is a hungry ghost, their soul will be scattered on the spot. However, among the hungry ghosts, there are many villains and tyrants who have called the wind and rain in their previous lives. Once reincarnated, they are not easy to mess with. As long as they can't kill him at the beginning, it will be difficult to eradicate them later, because the more ghosts they eat, the stronger they become.
Jiang Qulian ate his own ghost mother at birth, and then fed on the entire village. After leaving the village where he was born, he ran amok on the land of Jiuyou, stepping on the pile of corpses to climb to the position of ghost king. Jiang Qulian is the king of ghost kings, he is extremely evil, and the greatest crisis facing the underworld today, I don't know which one should be ranked first, Jiang Qulian or Fan Wushi.
"Why did Mr. Cui Fu bring me here?"
"You have lived in the underworld for more than twenty years, and you rarely go deep into Jiuyou. The celestial master likes to run to the world, and you don't know Jiuyou very much." Cui Jue stood with his hands behind his back, his voice fluttering in the wind, "Jiang Qu Lian believes that the Hades controlled the Nine Nethers and took away the power and freedom of the ghost people. In fact, the Hades is one of the links between the three realms of heaven, earth and man, balancing the power of the three realms. If there is no Hades, ghosts will flee to the human world in large numbers. There will be no peace in either world."
"Yes, but Jiang Qulian has a deep grudge against the underworld, or the heaven that assigned the underworld. He said that all he wants is to be reborn as a human, but he was born in the hungry ghost realm and has no great merit. He wants to be reborn in the human realm. It is to break the rules of the six reincarnations." Xie Bian said in a deep voice, "Maybe what he wants is to truly have the power of the king of ghost kings, so that he can do whatever he wants in Jiuyou."
Cui Jue said expressionlessly: "In the journey of heaven, what one seeks is never just one person's justice, but balance. This balance may hurt some people, but it has maintained the peace of the Three Realms for millions of years. Anyone who tries to break A balanced person may lead to immeasurable consequences."
"What Cui Fujun said is true." After recovering the memory of his previous life, Xie Bian was once the emperor after all, and inevitably began to look down on the people and things around him, but he still respected Cui Jue as before. Jue is not just a scholar who adds or subtracts a few strokes in the book of life and death. He is like the prime minister of the same dynasty. He has worked hard for the operation of the underworld and the balance of the two worlds. Such a person must have a reason for what he does and what he says, so Xie Bian also asked the question in his heart, "Why did Mr. Cui Fu bring me here and say these things to me?"
"Because of what Jiang Qulian said, because of your past and present lives, and because of what you've seen and heard in the world, you are also questioning the way of heaven." Cui Jue turned around slowly, "When you have a smile on your face, Hatred and injustice, when you talk about Li Buyu to me, I can even hear your heart roaring, you can't understand that thing that everyone can't understand, why good people don't get rewarded, and evil people have a good death."
Xie Bian's shoulders drooped a little overwhelmed: "You once said that reincarnation is everyone's practice. You must practice goodness and evil. I thought I understood it, but now I... I don't know What should I believe?" When he was just Xie Bian, a simple underworld general, he experienced the collapse of his faith for the first time because of a child who was tortured to death, because it was her own life who killed her. Father, but the brute got no punishment. At that time, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was full of vigor. If the local city god hadn't stopped him, he would even have wanted to take that beast away with him.
After returning to the underworld, he ran to the magistrate's mansion and asked Cui Jue how many years that bastard's lifespan would last, and that he should just make a stroke of it now, but Cui Jue refused to tell him. He has regarded Cui Jue as his second master since he was a child, although he has never formally worshiped him, but how he serves Zhong Kui is almost as good as Cui Jue, it was the first time he contradicted Cui Jue when he grew up. He doesn't understand, if it is karma, good and evil are rewarded, why an innocent child who has never hurt anyone has to be tortured in every way since she was born, as if she came to this world just to suffer Until death, the other children reincarnated with her may be well-clothed, enjoying the love and love of their parents, and have a safe and smooth life for the rest of their lives until they die.
Why is there such a difference between people and their lives? !
So Cui Jue told him that reincarnation is a must for everyone. The child came to practice suffering in this life. In the next life, he may want to cultivate wealth and ordinary life, and the child’s father came to practice evil in this life. . Only in the endless samsara, in all kinds of good or evil, sweet or bitter trials, no matter what your background or experience, don’t be disturbed by the floating world, stick to your heart in every practice, and do more good deeds Only in this way can we cultivate to perfection and transcend samsara.
Jie Bian was convinced at the time. He thought that he was here to do good deeds in this life, and he could accumulate merit. However, when he had the memory of two lives at the same time, he saw that the goodness of his previous life finally produced evil results. , and this evil fruit still took root and sprouted, and grew into a big tree that was difficult to pull out, casting a huge shadow on his life, and he couldn't help being confused. He knows that no matter what he cultivated in his previous life, he failed, so what about this life.
Cui Jue looked at Jie Bian's eyes and softened: "You should believe in yourself. Believe in the kindness in your heart, it will affect all karma, and finally lead you to a good ending. You can't just because of the failure in the previous life. Question yourself in this life, and don't be swayed by Jiang Qulian's paranoia and madness."
Xie Bian pursed his lips, he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he was silent.
"The reason I brought you here is to tell you that Jiang Qulian is a ghost, and you are a human being. He is a ghost who has done a poor job in his studies, which is why he was kicked into the realm of hungry ghosts. In his heart Evil thoughts are deep, but no matter how much suffering you have experienced, you still have good thoughts. It’s just that people are in pain and despair, and want to find new beliefs in the collapsed beliefs. This is the best time for evil thoughts to take advantage of the void, so I You must be reminded."
Xie Bian was shocked, he stared blankly at Cui Jue, unable to speak for a long time.
It is said that the half-knowledgeable is Shou, and the omnipotent is Shang, but for a person like Cui Jue who seems to know everything, what else can shake his Dao heart
"Okay, now let me tell you the second purpose of bringing you here, my plan to kill two birds with one stone." Cui Jue looked down at the village where Jiang Qulian was born, "Jiang Qulian can freely enter and leave Jiuyou, he thinks he is right The advantage, we can use our tricks to trap him in Jiuyou, unable to go to the human world, and in this way, we can defeat them one by one."
