At this moment, Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun felt his mind go blank. Looking at the young Taoist in front of him, all the past events seemed to be connected together - why did Fengdu City change when he came here; why did this Taoist appear here when Fengdu City broke through the underworld...

All the evidence is unfolding before my eyes. Even if I can't believe it emotionally, I have to face the truth at this moment.

Qi has no doubts.

It’s the Lord of Mount Tai!

Ascend to the sky and kill the emperor, confront the South Pole, open Fengdu, and break the underworld!

The Taoist paused, turned sideways, lowered his eyes calmly, and asked with a smile what was the matter?

Supreme Righteousness Master was puzzled and asked, "What happened to you, Yin De Ding Xiu? What do you think happened to him?"

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun paused, he looked at the Taoist who turned around and asked with a smile what was the matter, suddenly smiled and said lightly: "Nothing."

Yin De Ding Xiu Dao:

"Qi Wuhuo, it's Qi Wuhuo."

The Taoist in the dark blue robe smiled and nodded, saying seriously: "Of course it is so."

The Supreme Lord of Righteousness did not understand.

"What are you talking about?"

Only True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu laughed loudly, but he didn't say anything in detail. He just said that it couldn't be said, shook his head and left with his sleeves shaking. Qi Wuhuo stood where he was, looking at his old friend who was so free and easy, and stopped asking questions. He smiled and walked forward.

…

The changes in the underworld system are not something that can be easily resolved.

Many minor issues will only be resolved slowly with the passage of time. Among the remaining Yama Kings, Yin De Dingxiu and Wushang Zhengdu are still in their original positions, while the other seven Yama Kings were brought into Fengdu City because their names were on the list.

He is responsible for the position of jailer who looks after the most vicious and evil ghosts among the seventy-two chief jailers.

Because in Fengdu City, after the Lord of Mount Tai, the highest-ranking person is the Ghost Emperor.

At this point, the underworld has been incorporated into the Fengdu system, so he is no longer called the True Lord, but is instead called the "King."

He is called Yama, the lord of the underworld, and the King of the Ten Courts of Hell.

His status is below that of the Ghost Emperor.

Next are the Yin generals and city gods, who are arranged in descending order according to their sequence.

The Southern Ghost Emperor handed the written file to Qi Wuhuo. When the file was unfolded, the names of all the Yin Gods were listed. Seeing the highest Taoist name of "Tai Su Miao Guang", the Taoist paused, picked up the pen, and erased the highest word "Tai".

Tai Su Miao Guang is too supreme. He has abandoned his former path and has completely fallen. He can no longer support this title.

The Taoist picked up his brush and erased the word "Tai". After thinking for a while, he changed it to "Tai".

He was King Taisu Miaoguang.

Below the highest point, two ghost kings stood on the left and right, and below them were the Ten Kings of Hell.

Under the King of Hell are the ten great underworld generals including the Black and White Impermanence, as well as the chief officers of the seventy-two departments.

These are all earthly immortals.

Then they were ranked in order according to their cultivation realm and management positions. Their voices were so powerful and gloomy that Qi Wuhuo wanted to say it himself, but considering the status of the Lord of Mount Tai, he had to lower his eyes. The Southern Ghost Emperor nodded, took a step forward, and said in a cold tone:

"Taisu Miaoguang, planning and understanding, each has his own sins, and now he has been punished. But considering that he maintained yin and yang for the past three thousand years, he also has merits. Destroy his true spirit and let a trace of his soul reincarnate. You should all be alert and take this as a warning. Control yourselves and do not rely on your status to act recklessly."

"From now on, every year, all the Yin gods will come to pay homage to Mount Tai."

"The Lord of Mount Tai will personally judge the achievements of the gods over a thousand years, and reward those who have made contributions and promote them accordingly."

"The guilty shall be punished according to their crimes."

[Lord of Mount Tai] looked down at the Yin God, and the Southern Ghost Emperor understood: "If the Yin Gods of Hell have other ideas, you can bring them up, and Lord Tai will handle them."

It was quiet, and naturally no one would be so blind as to show up at this time.

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu looked at the Lord of Mount Tai above him with an extremely complicated expression - even though they were drifting further and further apart and disappearing without a trace, eight thousand years ago, they were fellow Taoists standing on the same path, and had depended on each other for life and death, and had entrusted their lives to each other.

And now they knew that those two old friends had almost shattered their true souls and sent them into reincarnation.

He even summoned Jade Purity Yuanshi Tianzun, and was eventually judged and killed by Jade Purity Yuanshi Tianzun, but it was a worthy death.

But as a former fellow traveler, I can't help but feel regretful and lost.

In this silent and solemn atmosphere, a discordant voice suddenly rang out: "I, I have an opinion, I have an opinion, Lord Fu!!!"

"Me, look at me!"

Um???

Why is this voice so familiar? !

Immersed in sadness and melancholy, Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun suddenly shuddered, and then seemed to realize something. She turned her head abruptly and saw that it was Meng Po who was dancing happily over there. She stretched out her arms and shouted loudly: "I, Lord of the Mansion, I want to take turns, I want to rest!!!"

"Please give me a long vacation as long as one reincarnation!"

Because at this time, all the Yin gods were solemn and the atmosphere was dead silent, so the sound of Meng Po's happy dancing seemed extremely harsh, which made Yin De Dingxiu Zhenjun's scalp tingle all of a sudden, and he even wanted to pick up this guy on the spot and throw him into the underworld.

Because the Ten Hades were in the front and Po Meng was actually in the back, in the position of the Seventy-two Departments Chief Envoys and the Ten Yin Marshals, True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu had no way to turn this impulse into an instinctive action, and had no way to rush over and pick her up and spray her, so he could only wink frantically.

"What are you doing?!"

"Calm down!!!"

Meng Po received the message conveyed by Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun very clearly.

Then he was extremely cheerful and completely ignored it!

Shouting even more happily!

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu gnashed his teeth, but turned around and said with a bow: "My Lord, I am not strict with my subordinates, and I have made you laugh at me. Meng Po's words are just because they are used to being lax and reckless. You don't have to care!"

"Huh?! I need to rest, I need a vacation!"

Meng Po was furious.

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu gritted his teeth, but at this moment, they all heard the Lord of the Mansion chuckle.

Therefore, both Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun and Meng Po suddenly became quiet. The Lord of the Mansion lowered his eyes and said, "The reason why Tai Su Miao Guang and others made mistakes is also related to this. If so, they should have a rest period."

Meng Po was overjoyed.

So after this day, the underworld established the rule that "the King of Hell reincarnates every thousand years and rotates every ten thousand years." This is equivalent to the King of Hell performing his duties. Every thousand years, he can receive a leisurely and peaceful fate, rotate into the human world and enjoy a lifespan of 120 years.

Then return to the underworld again. Do this ten times and then you can rotate.

By then, no matter whether you are willing to play an important role in the underworld or in the seventy-two departments of Fengdu City.

Or if you want to receive the imperial edict, ascend to heaven, it is all possible.

If there had been this rule in the beginning, the two True Lords Taisu and Miaoguang might not have ended up like this. True Lord Yinde Dingxiu sighed with regret, but then thought that with their personalities, they might be extremely dissatisfied with such an arrangement.

But no matter what, the matter has been settled.

All the Yin gods obeyed the order and thanked.

Only Meng Po was delighted, but also surprised. At this moment, Meng Po, in the form of a young girl, made a face at Yin De Ding Xiu Zhen Jun and hurriedly asked, "Master, what about me? How can I rest?"

The Taoist lowered his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said, "You all will follow the Lord of Hell and reincarnate together."

Reincarnate together with the corresponding Yama King?

The bright smile on Meng Po's face froze bit by bit.

And the smile shifted to the face of Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun.

The latter turned around.

The surrounding Qi rose up, twisting and swirling almost behind him, transforming into a wildly laughing ghost head.

"Meng Panqin..."

He read out Meng Po's full name.

Then Meng Po trembled and her face turned pale.

"What is that...True Lord?"

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun said faintly: "Wait a moment, talk to me carefully..."

…

This matter has been decided. After the underworld merged with Fengdu City, the general order remained the same as before, except that restrictions on the many Yin gods in the underworld were added.

The Lord of Mount Tai will not directly interfere in the affairs of the underworld and reincarnation.

But he can supervise the Ten Kings of Hell.

The Ten Kings of Hell possess direct yin and yang powers, but they must always be vigilant against the sword falling on their heads.

Even the thousand-year cycle and the ten-thousand-year rotation cannot form each other's power.

This matter disappeared, and the Lord of Mount Tai also disappeared and left. There was still only a Taoist in a blue Taoist robe, walking on the sea of ​​red spider lilies beside the Yellow Spring. Qi Wuhuo promised the Southern Ghost Emperor that he would return Brother Xuanzhen's seal and the file to her after the world was unified and settled.

Then the Taoist stood in front of the relics of Taisu Miaoguang and Chouguan Mingli, and stood beside the cliff.

The wind blew over Huangquan. Yin De Ding Xiu Zhen Jun and Wu Shang Zheng Du Zhen Jun were both here. They both held a pot of strong liquor to comfort their old friend. They didn't seem surprised to see Qi Wu Huo return. Yin De Ding Xiu Zhen Jun asked, "Are you leaving?"

The Taoist nodded: "Yes."

"There are still many things to do in the world of the living. I naturally cannot stay here for too long."

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun sighed, "After that, the Yang world will re-establish the city god system after the third calamity era, which is equivalent to dividing the Yang world into different areas. Each city god will be responsible for the ghosts and yin and yang order of a region. When this system is complete, the netherworld will have an easier time."

"However, I'm afraid this matter cannot be completed in one or two days."

The Taoist replied:

"Then one or two years. If one or two years is not enough, then at most ten or twenty years will be enough."

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun laughed loudly.

Qi Wuhuo reached into his sleeve, took out two jade pendants, handed them to the two True Lords in front of him, paused, and said with a smile: "This is a token from the Lord of Mount Tai. If you are in danger in the future, you can hold this and call the Lord of Mount Tai, and perhaps you can turn the danger into safety."

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu took it without any concern.

The Supreme Lord of Righteousness seemed to understand something, and a look of surprise and astonishment appeared on his face.

The Taoist nodded, turned around and walked away calmly.

Supreme Righteousness Lord looked at his receding back, thoughtfully saying, "His virtues will definitely be gone. Could he be... the Lord of the Mansion?"

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun said lazily: "Isn't this natural?"

“I see…”

Supreme Righteousness touched the jade pendant. They didn't know that Taishan Mansion Lord had once called Yuanshi Tianzun "teacher". The others who knew about it were afraid to speak out. But even so, the weight of the jade pendant was extremely heavy. Supreme Righteousness suddenly realized and said, "Is this also the use of the gift given by Yuqing Yuanshi Datianzun?"

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun asked: "You only know it now?"

"Where is your jade pendant? Don't tell me you really hid it."

Supreme Righteousness Lord smiled and said, "When I was traveling in the human world for a while, I saw a mountain collapse and water poured out, submerging the city. At that time, I didn't bring a treasure that could stop the change, so I threw rocks to make a mountain to stop the collapse. That day, the river tide was too fast and the rocks couldn't stop it. I threw this jade pendant out and it happened to stop the mountain."

"Afterwards, I drank two bowls of muddy wine and walked against the wind for a long while before I came to my senses. But I didn't care much."

"Why would the Great Lord care about these things with you and me?"

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu couldn't help but laugh.

The two men stood up, looked at the two swords in front of them, and said:

"Tai Su Miao Guang and Chou Guan Ming Li, they are probably doing this gradually because of this jade pendant as a way out."

He and Supreme Righteousness Lord looked at each other, and suddenly they attacked together. They threw the jade pendants in their hands casually, and they fell into the cliff like rocks, and they could no longer be seen. Then they laughed together.

"We will follow the way!"

"Why retreat?"

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu picked up the wine jug, shook it, and then poured out the strong liquor.

The strong liquor spilled onto the blade, just as heroic as it was back then!

He turned and left, drank the wine in big gulps, and suddenly he raised his hand, and the wine jug flew into the air and landed on the tomb of swords and knives. The cliff above the swords and knives was like a canopy, and the King of Hell walked away. He clapped his hands and sang loudly.

There is a mirror of evil hanging high, and dark shadows forming a circle.

Even if you allow the strong and violent to act, they will not be able to do anything; even if you allow the treacherous and evil to act, it will be difficult for them to do anything!

The retribution is obvious, the cause and effect are clear, the six realms are grateful for the grace, and the four lives mourn for their fate.

Great compassionate wish, great sorrowful wish.

It’s a pity that you died five thousand years earlier!

The Yellow Springs is boiling, and the flowers on the other shore are blooming.

One day you and I will meet at Donghe River!

A Taoist in a blue robe stood at the top of the underworld, with his sleeves rolled up and his palms open. A letter of light shone from his hands, which was a reply to the judiciary.

The letter flew up to the sky, and with the sound of the wind, he could hear the heroic and unrestrained Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun singing loudly. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked down. He saw the underworld, the Ghost Gate, the Seventy-two Departments, the Ten Kings of Hell, and finally the Lord of Fengdu Taishan.

With a carefree smile, he walked away.

In the distant years that followed, True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu never left the underworld again. Even if he was rotated, he would only choose one thing from the Seventy-Two Departments. He never revealed his identity as a Taoist priest. The only thing he said was that in one of his reincarnations, he was a Taoist disciple. He once got drunk, sang and clapped his hands, and wrote a Taoist scripture to pass on to future generations.

The ocean is vast and unpredictable, and no one can understand it.

Ziwei Beifu, thirty-nine lords, nine turns and seven changes, back to the water and heaven.

[Xuanwei] Jie Lin, [Xia Tong Luo Feng], Qu Chen Fei Gai, and they met at Donghe.

————"Dongzhen Department·Volume 8·【Qingwei】Golden Science Chapter"

——————

Heavenly realm, Tianshuyuan.

The most core area.

The Great Lord of Justice stood with his hands behind his back, watching the clouds roll by.

Waiting for a response from the underworld——

In fact, he already had some connections with the underworld, and knew that they wanted supreme power but were unwilling to lie dormant in the underworld; they longed for the pure land of heaven but did not want to give up the right to reincarnation. Now, he was tempting them with benefits and punishing them with penalties. It was impossible for them not to be shaken and they would come to surrender!

"Zhenwu, oh Zhenwu, what do you want to do? What can you do?!"

"Do you think that you can rest easy after sealing off the human world? Humph, the prestige of my Tianshu Academy is so great that even the underworld has to respect my seal from afar! If you want to hide, I will play with you for a while and teach you what it means to be cornered and what it means to be in a dead end!"

Suddenly a message arrived.

An immortal official hurriedly said, "Heavenly Lord, Heavenly Lord!"

The Great Lord of Justice frowned and said calmly, "Why are you so flustered? You have lost your manners. Go and accept your punishment."

"What's the matter first?"

The immortal official felt ashamed and said, "That was just a matter of the netherworld."

The Justice Great Lord's brows relaxed, and he felt much more relieved, knowing that what he had planned had been accomplished. Even if the immortal official had lost his manners, he didn't mind. He picked up the teacup, with a calmness that everything was under control, and said lightly: "What's the matter? Tell me..."

"Is this the response from the Ten Kings of Hell?"

The immortal official raised his head and looked at the Great Lord of Justice, his lips trembling as he said:

"The Ten Kings of Hell..."

The Great Lord of Justice said calmly, “Yes.”

“It was suppressed.”

Then the calm expression on the judicial face froze instantly.
