Chapter 510 Xinluo Mountain
Who would have thought that I would hear the name of the Wheel King here?
King Yama is the Great Impermanence of Luoshan, and also one of the successors of the Two Elements. If the Lord of Peach Blossom Village is indeed a descendant of the Azure Dragon, then King Yama can be almost certainly confirmed as a descendant of the White Tiger. From the first time I saw his name, I have been particularly interested in his existence, but I have never been able to see his true face. I never expected that here, he would become a god and a god of the Gospel Monastery.
I have another question. I had previously asked Asaha about the Shinto and Shinto of Fukuinin. Although Asaha couldn't give me definite information, she said that there were at most two or three Shinto and Shinto at Fukuinin. But the information the wandering spirit gave here is that there are four. If we include the deceased Tai Sui, then there are five.
I asked the wandering spirit in detail about King Yama.
"I'm sorry, I know very little about King Chakravartin, this god." The wandering spirit shook his head. "And I'm sure it's not because of my excessive amnesia. As far as I can remember, no monk from the Evangelical Fellowship has ever seen King Chakravartin, nor have I ever heard of any deeds he left behind; only his name has been passed down."
"If it weren't for the fact that Yama, the abbot of the Evangelical Fellowship, and Huang Quan had both clearly stated that the Wheel-Turning King truly existed, most of the Evangelical Fellowship monks might have considered it a mere myth. Even so, there are still quite a few monks and survivors from the outside world who doubt that the Wheel-Turning King is a non-existent god."
This is similar to the situation of the Wheel King in Luoshan. Everyone knows that this character exists, but they generally have doubts about whether he actually exists.
I had clearly heard about the Wheel-Turning King from the fortune teller, so I wasn't necessarily suspicious of it. The important question was why the Wheel-Turning King would side with the Gospel House.
Could it be that King Yama lived all the way to the apocalypse and joined this organization? Or is this King Yama the same King Yama from Luoshan in the modern world, just as Huang Quan was able to travel from the apocalypse to the modern world, King Yama was also able to travel from the modern world to the apocalypse world?
Since the Gospel House provides support to Peach Blossom Village, it is undoubtedly an enemy of Luoshan. And if my assumption is true, then the Wheel King's actions constitute treason.
However, it might sound a bit ridiculous, but even after "betraying" the opposing organization, King Yama still seems to be absent from his "workstation," as if he were an invisible man.
In addition, the name of the head of the Evangelical Fellowship also intrigued me.
When I think of "Yama", the first thing that comes to mind is "forging the Yama sword". But if other demon hunters from Luoshan were to answer, they would most likely think of the name of the god first.
The Great Impermanence is often regarded as Yama, the King of Hell, a deity in charge of the afterlife. However, if we trace its origins, we can trace it back to the concept of "Yama," a deity from outside the realm.
Legend has it that Yama was the first to die, thus becoming the deity in charge of death. While it's unclear why the one who died the fastest would become so powerful, that's how it's recorded in books. In ancient times, with the introduction of Buddhism to China, Yama became the deity in charge of hellish punishments, known as Yama, Yama King, or Yama.
In the history of Luoshan, it was originally founded by three ancient impermanent beings. Two of them are the Divination Master, whom I have met several times, who can be considered a symbolic figure of Taoist culture in Luoshan; and Yama, who can be regarded as a symbolic figure of Buddhist culture in Luoshan.
The reason why Zhu Shi's ancestor Zhu Yi named his sword "Zhu Yanmo Sword" was mostly to pay homage to this founding pioneer. I have seen the name "Yama" more than once when I was looking up information at the Luoshan headquarters.
Since Yama is no longer present at Mount Luo, it means he is either dead or lost. Judging from the ratio of death to loss among the successive generations of the Great Impermanence of Mount Luo, Yama most likely ended up in the state of loss.
Could Yama, one of the three founders of Luoshan, be the same person as Yama, the master of the Gospel Institute?
If so, does that mean that the end times can indeed bring back the lost Great Impermanence, which is why Yama reappears in the world?
Both Yama, the founder of Luoshan, and King Chakravartin, the Great Impermanence of Luoshan, have appeared in the Gospel Institute. The appearance of two deities and humans with a high degree of connection to Luoshan makes me think even more.
I've had a bad feeling about this for a while now. An organization like Luoshan couldn't possibly just disappear silently after the apocalypse. Perhaps the Gospel House is Luoshan's form in the post-apocalyptic era. If that's the case, then it doesn't seem fair to say that King Yama betrayed us.
The Evangelical Fellowship's disregard for human life aligns with my stereotypical view of supernaturalism. In fact, the Evangelical Fellowship does indeed refer to those with "supernatural powers" as "monks" rather than witch hunters, in a supernatural style.
I just don't understand why the God of the Gospel House, Huang Quan, would stand on the side of Taoyuan Xiangzhu in the modern world.
Then, I tried asking again: "As far as I know, there should only be two or three deities in the Evangelical Fellowship at most. Why are there four now? Or am I remembering wrong?"
The wandering spirit replied, "It's not exactly a mistake. Maybe you didn't include King Yama in the count, while Shen Tu is the latest addition to the list of gods and humans... I don't know if I should call Shen Tu a god and humans. There are rumors that Shen Tu is not actually a god and humans, but a great demon."
"Even a Great Demon would join an organization?" I couldn't understand it.
"It's just a rumor lacking any real evidence," the wandering spirit shook his head again. "I don't know anything more."
In other words, the only truly recognized gods and men in the Gospel Institute today are Yama, the Lord of the Gospel Institute, and Yomi.
Considering that I have already killed Huang Quan, doesn't that mean that the only true leader the Evangelical Fellows truly follow is Yama?
However, there are still many suspicious circumstances surrounding Huang Quan's death. To this day, I still can't understand why Huang Quan would risk his life to banish me into the void. Even if I have the opportunity to continue growing in the future, there's no reason for him to sacrifice his own life for it.
Was he really dead? I lack a sufficient sense of reality about it.
While I was pondering, the wandering spirit had almost finished examining the cartographer's map and then said to me, "Thank you, this map is very useful. Judging from the map on my arm, the location of the Three Lives Stone Powder should not be far from here."
The statement "It shouldn't be far from here" seems contradictory in the context of a chaotic time and space. Perhaps he was just implying that it wouldn't take long to get there.
"Well then, let's get ready to set off."
As I spoke, I looked at Tanxiang and asked, "What are your plans for the future? Although I said I wouldn't abandon you for the time being, I don't recommend that you stay with us for too long."
"If any strange things happen on the way, I will deal with them all; in return, as long as you are with me, you are destined to be attacked by a large number of strange things. The wandering spirits are immortal and can withstand some accidents. Overall, the benefits will far outweigh the losses; but if you have any mishap, then there is really no hope."
Upon hearing this, the wandering spirit looked at me in surprise.
Unlike the case with the sandalwood incense, even if the wandering spirit refused to travel with me, I would try my best to force him to join me in the search for the Three Lives Stone Powder. Fortunately, probably because I was his benefactor, the wandering spirit did not show any resistance.
Sandalwood hesitated, "This..."
On the way to the safe house, Tanxiang had witnessed many strange attacks. But perhaps he was more afraid of being alone than being with me, and his hesitation gradually faded.
“I…I want to go home,” he said. “I want to go home alive…This must be a nightmare. Even if it’s not a nightmare, I still want to go back…I can’t believe this is my future.”
He looked around at the desolate scenery, then looked at me and said, "I want to walk with you first. If there's anything you need, just tell me, and I'll do my best to help."
"After I encounter other survivor groups, I'll try to join them so I won't cause you any more trouble... Is that okay?"
"Then let's do it this way." I nodded.
Before setting off, we did a quick survey of the pedestrian street ruins.
The most important thing was to collect the blessing from the safe house. This white light was untouchable, like a phantom, but it would react to the power of the blessing, so the wandering spirit could carry it with its own hands. The wandering spirit put this large blessing into an empty lantern found in the ruins of the safe house and voluntarily exchanged it with the blessing lantern I had.
Meanwhile, Sandalwood collected the remaining food and water from beneath the ruins of the safe house. There was no need to inspect the entire pedestrian street, as the cartographer had undoubtedly already gathered all the available food and water inside the safe house.
During this brief period of time, I once again tried to sense the "firefly" that had saved my life from nothingness in some unknown, distant place.
Although it is called a "firefly," I cannot be certain that it is truly just a tiny spark. It could be a small amount of heat that is not even a spark, or conversely, it could be an extremely fierce flame—or even a great demon of calamity.
Yes, since the Great Demon of Calamity is very likely to be my future self, then its flames can certainly be regarded as my flames. It is logical for me to be able to sense the other party as if I could sense a firefly.
Did it draw me to the apocalyptic era?
