Di Ting's heart skipped a beat. He raised his head stiffly and scanned the evil gods that had left their names in history one by one. Looking at these ghosts and gods, some of them were even his old acquaintances. The several Yin gods opposite who had had conflicts with Di Ting smiled inexplicably.
Di Ting's mouth twitched.
For a moment, my brain was a little stuck.
How much did I agree with you?
The young Taoist stepped into the Buddhist hall, his eyes were peaceful, his hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and his Taoist robe was pure. He no longer had the arrogance of stepping on the chains to fight in the sky and kill the Ghost Emperor. He no longer had the calmness of the black robe that fluttered and swept the world. He was just the Taoist's clarity and smiled, "Sir, I have an agreement with the seven Yin Gods."
"How about paying it back tenfold now?"
Listen carefully: "..."
Cardiac arrest!
This naughty and mischievous little idiot actually brought up this matter!
What does this little calf nose want to do? Want to sell me out?
Di Ting looked at Qi Wuhuo with a wary and suspicious look on his face. Finally, he glanced at these Yin spirits and sat down on the mat helplessly. He waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, you have accomplished these things, and it is ten times more outrageous. I have nothing to say. Is that okay?"
"I'll help you ten times. How about that? No more talk."
Then Di Ting clearly saw that the young Taoist was stunned.
Immediately, Di Ting also realized something.
Fell into silence.
"Although it was just an accident, I still want to ask, did you want a favor at first?"
When Qi Wuhuo had the thought, Di Ting had already heard the answer. He raised his hand to stop him, and said with a twitch of his mouth:
"Stop, stop, stop, that's enough, stop talking!"
"Ten times, just ten times!"
"I'll admit defeat!"
His eyes swept over the group of Seventy-Two Departments that looked more like ghosts and evil gods than righteous gods. He really couldn't afford to lose this person. The young Taoist was slightly stunned. He knew that this gentleman in gray had always been stubborn. Even when they met in the human world, he had sealed his memory, and this would not change.
Di Ting has always been a man who would rather lose the fight than the battle. Even if the whole beast was burned to ashes, it would still hold its ground.
Then he followed the trend and said with a smile: "Then I will have to trouble you, sir."
He slightly turned sideways and looked at the seventy-two guarding officers waiting outside the temple.
"Reward the good and punish the evil. You will once again select the thirty strongest ones to follow me."
"Go back to the human world."
"Yes, Lord!"
Rewarding the good and punishing the evil was a natural response, while Di Ting looked up at the ghosts and gods in the underworld, and then looked at Qi Wuhuo. While waiting for the underworld to be ready, he poured him a cup of tea, sat cross-legged in front of the table, and said with a little doubt: "Since you have 72 departments, why don't you take them all with you?"
Qi Wuhuo shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about how much hope can be placed in the destruction of Buddha and beheading the emperor. There are only thirty mountains prepared in the human world that can allow the earth gods to temporarily inhabit them."
"Besides, sir, you also said that there are seventy-two earthly immortal demon kings and thirty-six demon masters."
"There are millions of troops. In this situation, the more people there are, the easier it is to be involved. Didn't you also say that this is the ancient demon court formation that once killed the Taoist Tianzun in ancient times? In such a formation, the difference between thirty ghosts and gods and seventy-two earthly immortal ghosts and gods is not that big."
"Sometimes, more people isn't always better."
"Besides, even the Heavenly Venerable would perish under such a formation, let alone me. It is impossible for me to really kill millions of demons. My goal is to break the blockade, help Queen Hou Tu, and defeat Gou Chen."
Di Ting looked at the young Taoist who was waiting for the ghosts and gods to prepare.
The latter was very lucid, and remains sober even now.
I have never been overwhelmed by power and status, and I no longer remember who I am.
Di Ting sighed, with such a personality, even if he did not guide him, he would have met Tai Shang, no... maybe the other two would have known him in advance? Never mind, the matter is done, those two can just be angry with themselves! With his mind fluctuating, he said with a joking tone:
"What a pity! If you really had so much Yin God power and became the Lord of Mount Tai, this matter wouldn't be so difficult, right, Lord of Mount Tai?"
Qi Wuhuo asked: "Who are you calling, sir?"
Di Ting smiled and asked, "Aren't you the Lord of the Mansion?"
"I see that all the chief officers of the seventy-two departments call you that."
The young Taoist said, "The way they address me seems to be different from the one you just addressed, sir."
"I am not the Lord of Mount Tai that you mentioned. To me, it is just a sword called Lord of Mount Tai. I can break it or abandon it."
"And the sharpness of the sword does not represent my own strength."
Di Ting was a little surprised and wanted to laugh at this guy. Isn't it enough to be useful? Why bother with so much? Do you want to be the Taoist master? But when his eyes fell on Qi Wuhuo, he was slightly startled. Suddenly he realized that this young Taoist was here in his real body. The body of a living being in the world of the living would only be weakened in the underworld.
Some immortals and gods are unable to live freely in the underworld.
What's more, someone like Qi Wuhuo was actually inhaling and exhaling the air of the underworld when he breathed, and drinking the tea of the soul.
His eyes were calm, his aura was light, still maintaining the Taoist sense of moderation and peace.
!!!
Di Ting sensed the changes in Qi Wuhuo's body and stood up suddenly. There was a hint of disbelief in his tone, and his voice was raised several degrees, knocking over the tables and chairs. It was obvious that Di Ting was greatly shaken. He pressed the table with both hands, approached Qi Wuhuo, and said:
"Fuck, this isn't... this is?? Yin and Yang?!!"
"You, you broke through?"
If you get close, you can feel it.
Inside the young Taoist's body, the Qi is no longer divided into yin and yang.
Qi moves to the dark and mysterious, moves to the center, and returns to purity.
Even in this dark underworld, it is still like walking in the world of the living. This is not the effect of Taoism.
Di Ting looked at Qi Wuhuo in front of him and said word by word:
"The original spirit of Tao is silent and bright, the flesh of Buddha is not leaking, and the innate yin and yang are not ignorant?!"
"There are four positive things: stillness and concentration, and breath concentration."
“You, you…”
"Wouldn't it be possible to obtain the whole thing if only two of the four elements were left?"
Di Ting's tone was slightly shaken.
Complete the way.
This is the foundation of the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Lords!
Neither the old bald Ksitigarbha nor the monk Randeng are at this level.
Qi Wuhuo shook his head: "No."
Di Ting breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the young Taoist holding up a finger, he said, "There is only one positive left."
"To attack the sky from the earth is called Tai."
"Therefore, the interaction between heaven and earth has been achieved."
I listened attentively and was speechless and absent-minded for a long time. It was really a pity.
He couldn't help but sigh. "That's why it's a pity that you have broken the foundation of the Great Heavenly Immortal Dao. When you have cultivated to the limit of the True Lord, if you still want to go to the Lord of Mount Tai, you may only be able to get someone like the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi, or the Southern Pole Zhuling Emperor."
Qi Wuhuo did not answer, but replied quietly: "That will have to wait until that day comes."
Di Ting asked: "What about your two ghost emperors?"
Qi Wuhuo said: "They are suppressing the other two... They cannot leave Fengdu City, otherwise, the underworld will be in chaos."
Di Ting sighed: "Indeed... the entire underworld, Fengdu, is also a mess."
"Even if those two are disappointed with Zhou Qi, they will not be convinced by you."
"The power of the ritual has been completely dissipated, otherwise, you could have suppressed or killed them." While they were talking, all the ghosts and gods came out and selected thirty fighting Yin gods who had followed the Northern Emperor in the past years, galloping between heaven and earth, capturing all the evil gods and ghosts and imprisoning and suppressing them.
The young Taoist stood up, his sleeves hanging down, and he held the Blood River Sword in one hand.
Now the Blood River Sword no longer had the slightest sign of dissatisfaction.
Step on the chains to ascend to heaven, slay the Ghost Emperor, control the Four Imperial Gods, and point the sword to the South Pole.
Now Xuehe is so eager to use his own body to inoculate this Taoist priest, thinking that as long as he can taste a drop of blood, he will gain immortality.
Even if he exploded and died on the spot, he would still laugh out loud.
The young Taoist had a wooden hairpin in his black hair and a clean Taoist robe hanging down. He said gently:
"Well, thank you, sir, for pointing out the way for the million-strong army."
"Please point out that 'glimmer of hope' for me."
Thirty underworld ghosts and gods who reward the good and punish the evil follow the young Taoist. They will fight against more than three times the number of strong people at the same level, and even include an ancient bloodline true lord who is one major level higher than themselves. This is not an easy task, and it may even be fatal. However, the Di Ting behind them is their only possibility to win.
An army of millions is vast and majestic, but the larger the army, the easier it is to make mistakes.
And the true listening that can hear the suffering of the Four Noble Truths can find this flaw with incredible accuracy!
Let them accomplish their real combat purpose.
Listening carefully and lowering his eyes, he sensed that the entire situation would change after the young man in front of him completed his own judgment - by adding thirty top mountains of the demon clan, and the veins within them, with the assistance of the Taishan mountain range, Hou Tu could quickly defeat Gou Chen, and thus this catastrophe would be eliminated. This was the value of top strategists and bravery, which could reverse the situation.
However, now this young Taoist priest is only assisting Beiji and Houtu.
Will there be a day in the future when he will be more directly involved in these events? Di Ting sighed and said, "It's a pity. If Bai Ze were here, he might be able to see these things in advance..."
There are big changes in the world.
The Taoist enters the human world.
…
In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor took the elixir, but still needed to continue to rest, and now in the catastrophe, he had murderous intentions several times, even though the great master Xuandu arrived at the first time, the Jade Emperor still became extremely weak and pale. Xuandu calculated the interval between the last time the Jade Emperor's consciousness dissipated and he lost his memory and now, his expression gradually gloomy.
He took the pill again, but suddenly, the heavenly drum was struck!
The rumbling sound passed back and forth, constantly encouraging **.
Master Xuandu turned around, his eyes coldly looking at the direction where the voice came from, and raised his palm, but was held down by the Jade Emperor. Xuandu turned around and saw the Jade Emperor shook his head. The young Jade Emperor said in a gentle voice: "Among the rules that Haotian once established, there is a rule that when encountering major twists and turns or major changes, the Heavenly Drum will be struck and the Emperor of Heaven will open the court."
“Of course, this also requires a certain price to be paid, to prove that trivial matters should not disturb the Heavenly Drum.”
"Since we have to maintain this order, we cannot go against our previous agreement."
"Don't worry about me, sir."
"I can still hold on for a while. At least, I won't lose my memory yet."
Xuandu slowly withdrew his hand, and the young Jade Emperor smiled, took the elixir, and stepped forward. The Lingxiao Palace opened again, and the immortals came in a line. The Jade Emperor's eyes were calm, and the immortals were in the line. The Jade Emperor said calmly: "Who is beating the drum?"
And seeing the Justice Great Lord striding over with great momentum, he stepped out of the group, bowed his hands, and said solemnly:
"Yes, I."
"What do you want?"
The Justice Great Lord cupped his hands, his brows were sharp, and he said in a calm tone: "Now the netherworld is the Ten Kings of Hell. This is the promise of the Jade Purity Great Lord. Fengdu City was the sin city used to imprison many ghosts from the netherworld in the past. The five ghost emperors in it are all evil. Now the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi has actually gone to seek refuge with the South Pole Changsheng Great Emperor. Your Highness, please hold South Pole accountable!"
Many immortals and gods said in unison: "Please investigate Nan Ji."
The South Pole is the ultimate between heaven and earth.
How can the Jade Emperor control the South Pole today?
The young Jade Emperor was furious, knowing that the other party was deliberately trying to stir up the conflict that had been settled, but he was not strong enough at the moment, so he just suppressed his murderous intent and said calmly: "This matter is approved."
The Lord of Justice raised his eyes slightly.
The young Jade Emperor said calmly, "Everything has been handed over to the Northern Emperor for processing. You may go and discuss it with the Northern Emperor."
Then the Lord of Justice paused and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I understand."
The Jade Emperor said calmly: "If nothing else..."
The Lord of Justice said, "Minister, there is one more thing."
"Since Fengdu is a city of sin, the ghost kings of Fengdu are all criminals, and they were suppressed by the Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei himself. Now, someone who calls himself the Lord of Mount Tai has escaped from Fengdu, ascended to the sky, and even attacked the Great Emperor of Changsheng in the South Pole. I, your servant—"
"Please kill Taishan!"
"Destroy Fengdu!"
There was silence. The immortals and gods who were in a neutral position no longer knew what the Lord of Justice was going to do. However, some felt that the Lord of Mount Tai seemed to have appeared to resolve the catastrophe. Others felt that no matter what his purpose was, he was ultimately a sinner from Fengdu City, which was abandoned by the Northern Emperor. The Lord of Justice's proposal seemed to be acceptable.
The old Lord remained silent.
One third of the immortals and gods had to stand up and say, due to the intimidation of Justice Heavenly Lord, the Great Emperor of Hedao:
"Please punish Taishan and destroy Fengdu!"
The voice was deep and majestic. The Jade Emperor clasped his sleeves tightly with his hands, and then, he suddenly laughed.
The young Jade Emperor, who had already retreated step by step, loosened his hands, glanced at the many immortals and gods, slowly stood up, and said:
"The Lord of Mount Tai is the true god of the underworld that I recognize."
"What are you going to do?"
The atmosphere was somewhat dead silent, as if no one had expected that the Jade Emperor would clash with the Lord of Justice over such a matter. In such silence, the Lord of Justice was somewhat surprised, took a half step forward, and said calmly: "I haven't asked yet, when did it happen? How come I don't know?"
"Who is this righteous god who can resist the laws of our Tianshu Academy?!"
The Jade Emperor swept his sleeves.
Activate magic power!
In the void, the vast heavenly book was flooded with layers of light and ripples, endless light and energy rose, auspicious clouds scattered, and the extremely strong sense of oppression made the gods stagnate. The Jade Emperor slowly stood up, lowered his eyes to look at the Justice Heavenly Lord, and said lightly: "Justice, kneel down."
All eyes turned to the Lord of Justice.
Seeing the Haotian Jade Scroll, all the immortals and gods knelt down in worship!
Then the Lord of Justice slowly knelt on the clouds, slowly lowered his head, and let his hands hang down, without struggling or resisting. A gleam of light flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes. He raised his hand and swept his fingers, and the Heavenly Book unfolded. It went to all the departments in the heaven in one breath. The most majestic one was the Tianshu Court, and the killer one was the Exorcism Court. He wrote a line of words on the side of the Lord of Justice's position in the Tianshu Court.
Lord of Mount Tai.
The jade color flashed by, which didn't mean anything, only one meaning.
Heaven
Haotian recognized the status of Lord Taishan as a true deity.
No one is allowed to criticize anything within the Heavenly Palace!
And his honorific title also means that he is in charge of the laws of life and death in the underworld, which is on the same level as the Tianshu Court’s judicial system!
Anyone who attacks the Lord of Mount Tai will be regarded as challenging the Emperor of Heaven!
!!!
The Justice Lord clenched his hands suddenly, with murderous intent in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing. This was the oppression of the Jade Emperor's orthodoxy, the reincarnation of Haotian. The Jade Emperor clenched his five fingers, and the Jade Book of Heaven suddenly closed and held it in his palm. The Jade Emperor said indifferently: "You all, please leave."
All the immortals stood up, bowed and stepped back.
The Justice Lord's expression tensed, he turned and strode away, and the Jade Emperor's voice sounded calmly: "Justice."
His voice was vague and flat:
"You beat the heavenly drum in vain, but it will not cause any great harm. Go and receive a hundred blows from the divine whip."
The Lord of Justice's movements froze.
Then he said slowly: "Minister, I obey your command!"
He swept his sleeves and strode away, heading straight to the place where the divine whip was struck. The immortals seemed to have rarely seen the Jade Emperor so angry and suppressing the judiciary. They couldn't help but feel a little more awed in their hearts, and they all bowed again and left. The Lingxiao Palace gradually became empty, and the great master Xuandu appeared, silent, and said in a calm tone:
"You shouldn't be angry, you shouldn't have murderous intentions, you shouldn't issue an order..."
"You shouldn't touch the Heavenly Book or the Seal."
He walked up step by step, and finally waved his sleeves to sweep away the concealing door. The clouds dispersed, and blood flowed from the corners of the young Jade Emperor's mouth. He forced a smile: "Cough cough cough..."
"I'm asking you to laugh at me, sir."
"But I can't give in anymore."
"I can't do anything about the death of Lord Justice, and I can't explain to Hou Tu what happened to Gou Chen."
"I can't even control the North Pole or the South Pole."
"Tai has stopped the greatest crisis of the catastrophe. I can't give in even at this time."
"But fortunately, I wrote down the name of Taishan Mansion Lord. In this way, the immortals in the heavenly court will not have any influence or obstruction on him. He can at least develop and grow freely for a period of time. Heh... Sir, you reacted so strongly before. I guess Taishan Mansion Lord's strength has not yet grown, right?"
"This is my thanks. I hope I can provide him with a little help in integrating the Netherworld."
"You reacted so strongly. Let me guess, is he your hidden junior brother who no one knows about?"
The young man sat on the high seat and asked softly, the blood drying at the corner of his mouth.
In front is a handsome Taoist with long flowing sleeves.
The young Jade Emperor asked, "What's his name?"
Taoist Qingjun took a deep breath and replied:
"He is my junior fellow apprentice, his Taoist name is Tai Shang Xuan Wei, and his real name is Qi Wu Huo."
“People from Jinzhou.”
"Yeah……"
The young Jade Emperor's eyes slowly closed, uncontrollably, and in his eyes he could see the young Lord coming through the air.
Keep this name in mind.
The handsome Taoist who seemed to be very far away asked, "Your Majesty, are you sleepy?"
"Well... Sir, I'll get some sleep, don't worry."
"I will wake up again."
"I won't forget you."
"But there is one question I really want to know. How did I start to lose my memory in the past?"
Master Xuandu replied softly: "You used your own spirit to block the disaster for the common people."
"It blocked the catastrophe that wiped out the Human Emperor and killed the Dragon Emperor. Eight thousand years ago, the common people did not suffer too much."
"I see."
"It's a death befitting of the Jade Emperor."
"Unfortunately, I don't remember anything sir said."
"I don't remember anything at all."
The Jade Emperor smiled and slowly closed his eyes.
Master Xuandu looked at him and felt his consciousness fluctuate violently, then shattered and disappeared.
The palm suddenly fell down, and there was no sound.
Master Xuandu staggered half a step, his eyes full of sorrow.
But with time.
Haotian's immortal body gave rise to a new consciousness.
【A dream】
[A dream with blank spaces everywhere, a boundless dream, I can’t remember who is who, I can’t remember who I am]
[Don’t remember the past, don’t remember the future]
[Just know that it’s time to wake up]
A long time passed, yet it seemed like just a moment. The young man in the Lingxiao Palace slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and bright, without the slightest pollution. The hall was dimly lit all around him, and in front of him was a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest's sleeves fluttered, and there seemed to be a trace of strong, indissoluble emotion in his eyes. Was it sadness, or pity?
The young man on the throne asked curiously:
"Who are you?"
He became like a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, unable to keep his feet on the ground and swaying all the time.
The great master Xuandu in front of him smiled, and the sadness in his eyes disappeared. He smiled gently and bowed slightly, holding a whisk, a Taoist hairpin in his black hair, and his sleeves were clean and comfortable.
Just like the countless encounters and reunions we had had over the past eight thousand years, he said:
"Immortal Xuandu."
"I am following the master's order to make an elixir for your majesty."
"Oh, Master Xuandu!"
The young Jade Emperor nodded, and the great master Xuandu said gently: "Do you remember me?"
The young man was puzzled, and asked curiously in a natural tone:
"Have I ever met the great master Xuandu before?"
Master Xuandu was silent for a while, then he smiled naturally and said, "It should be none."
"It's just that you and my old friend are very similar..."
"Ah, really?"
"Yes, but if you look closely, you are not him."
Master Xuandu asked, "Your Majesty, do you remember anything?"
The Jade Emperor frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he smiled brightly and innocently, saying, "Yes!"
“Very clear!”
He is now smaller than before, his feet are not on the ground. He swayed for a bit, then jumped down, spread his arms, his eyes bright. Xuan Du seemed to see the past eight thousand years and six hundred generations, those completely different him who had lost his memory, his self, his magical powers, and who had checked and balanced the gods and Buddhas in the sky. It was as if generations of Jade Emperors were all here.
But those friends were gone, leaving only the young boy who said:
"I want to suppress the Heavenly Court and guard the six realms."
"Even if it costs my life!"
"We must protect the common people too!"
Master Xuandu lost his mind.
Eight thousand years of suffering, more than six hundred generations of Jade Emperors.
It is all like this.
