This sword with an extraordinary foundation noticed the moment Qi Wuhuo's soul was hooked away, and then followed directly behind. It was only because of the God of the Underworld's unique ability to travel thousands of miles that it could not catch up for a while, but by following the breath of the soul, it finally caught up steadily.
At this moment, facing so many ghosts and flesh and blood, the sword finally became greedy, revealing its ferocious nature.
Want to devour these thousands of ghosts.
The young Taoist paused, raised his eyes and replied, "No."
The sword rang out with a slight pause.
"Aren't you trapped?"
The young Taoist's spirit gave an unprecedentedly strong rebuttal.
The ghosts here are all the dead people in the mortal world who were led here by the messengers of ghosts, and this sword wants to devour their flesh and blood and souls, which is no different from devouring flesh and blood and annihilating souls in the mortal world to forge weapons after massacring people. Qi Wuhuo paused slightly, staring at this extremely ferocious sword with cold eyes.
The latter's vicious nature is indestructible.
The sword rang loudly.
In its understanding, the Taoist Qi Wuhuo would only bring it endless good opportunities of flesh and blood.
The two help and benefit each other.
The reason why it followed Qi Wuhuo here today was only because its "experience" told it that if it followed this young Taoist priest, it would have more flesh and blood to eat. If it really wanted to protect its master, it would have drawn its sword before the chain fell, and then slashed with one sword, directly splitting the famous magic weapon, the Soul-Catching Rope.
Now it's just asking.
"I'm just asking. It's up to me whether to eat or not."
"Even if you object, I will still eat it."
With his fierce nature revealed, the young Taoist bent the ring finger and little finger of his right hand, pressed his thumb on the knuckles, and stretched out his index and middle fingers together. His eyes were calm, and he still had the gentle and calm temperament. However, this time his response was unprecedentedly sharp and tough, completely different from his usual calm and non-tempered nature.
You can try...
The long sword paused slightly.
In an instant, I instinctively felt a hint of intimidation.
In an instant, thunder roared, and thunder ran across the sky. In an instant, the masculine energy of many thunders spread out, making the cold air of the entire netherworld seem to disperse a little, making the red disperse. The yin energy was sharp, but Heibai Wuchang didn't seem to care. Hei Wuchang felt that the cold air in the void was neutralized a lot, his expression eased, and he just said concisely:
"It's the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun of the Thunder Department."
"here we go again."
"Well, he lost to Master Taisu Miaoguang in a game of chess last time, and now he's here to look for me again."
“They have a really good relationship.”
The Great Heavenly Official of the Divine Sky Palace opened his mouth and said with a wry smile, "Thunderous Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable, I have been cultivating in the Divine Sky Palace for a thousand years and have never seen him. I never thought that the first time I would see him would be after I die."
“He…”
Bai Wuchang smiled and said, "He is a good friend of our Taisu Miaoguang Zhenjun."
The Heavenly Official of the Divine Sky Palace sighed in annoyance and wanted to shout loudly, but he also felt that the character of the Universal Heavenly Venerable would not pay attention to him, so his expression dimmed. The young Taoist asked: "Is it the Lord of the Divine Sky Palace?" The Heavenly Official replied: "Yes, to be precise, he is the Lord of the Thunder Department and the first general under the command of the Southern Emperor Changsheng."
"His status and position are comparable to that of the Great True Lord Tianpeng under the command of the Northern Emperor."
"I have always been on good terms with Master Taisu Miaoguang."
"About brothers."
The young Taoist recalled the Great Emperor Changsheng who was quite dissatisfied with his killing of Donghua some time ago.
My heart suddenly moved.
The Northern Emperor nominally commands the Lei and Dou tribes.
However, the current ruler of the Thunder Department, Leisheng Puhua Tianzun, is the second among the Four Imperial Gods and the first general of the Southern Emperor of Longevity.
At this moment, Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun is in charge of thunder magic.
However, anyone who practices thunder magic in the world must ask for the name of Great True Lord Tianpeng before they can command the thunder general.
Qi Wuhuo suddenly realized something and remembered what the gentle Taoist priest Taiyi Jiuku had said. The Four Emperors saw different futures, and their futures were contradictory to each other. These subtle inconsistencies seemed to be hidden in everything happening in this world.
The underworld, the Emperor of Eternal Life.
Bai Wuchang seemed to be in a good mood as he saw the emperor coming, and said with a smile:
"However, speaking of it, in the most ancient times, our underworld should have belonged to the Northern Emperor."
"The netherworld at that time was not called the underworld, but Fengdu. In that era, the Northern Emperor had many talented people under his command, including the unrivaled Tianpeng Great True Lord [Zhongtian Beiji Fazhu Tianpengdu Yuanshuai]."
"There is also the [Zhongtian Fanqi Doumu Yuanjun] who is in charge of the Dou Department."
"And the [Emperor of Fengdu, North Yin of Zhongtian] who is in charge of the underworld."
"He is so arrogant and dignified, and he is the leader of the Four Imperial Gods. But, who knows what happened in the meantime..."
Bai Wuchang sighed:
"Suddenly, the connection between heaven and hell was severed for two to three thousand years. At that time, the gap between life and death was in chaos. The Ten Great Lords of the Underworld joined forces with an ascetic Buddhist monk named Ksitigarbha. They spent thousands of years to rebuild the current underworld and the netherworld. Relying on the reincarnation of this world as the core, they have been wandering in the three realms of heaven, earth and man since then, calling themselves the netherworld."
"Anyway, no matter who it is, in this netherworld, no one can be a match for the Ten True Lords."
"Lord Beidi?"
"The Northern Emperor has ignored us for three thousand years. If it weren't for the ten great masters who saved the day, the underworld would have been destroyed."
"Calling him the Northern Emperor shows that we have not broken off the incense and affection from the Fengdu era."
"It's because we respect the character and personality of the Northern Emperor."
Hei Wuchang frowned slightly and said, "Old Bai."
Bai Wuchang said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I know."
"They will all have to eat Meng Po soup later anyway."
"I can't remember anything clearly. Besides, all the elders in the Netherworld know about these things. They are not secrets. Otherwise, I would be too bored on this journey."
Hei Wuchang didn't say anything either.
Bai Wuchang sighed and said, "Today, no one would go to the underworld for love or affection."
“It’s no fun anymore.”
The young Taoist was slightly moved and asked, "Could it be that there are many people who come to the underworld on a regular basis?"
Bai Wuchang was quite surprised to see someone so bold to come and talk to him, but just like his temperament, he replied with a smile: "Yes, there are many. Look, even people like you who have cultivation need us brothers to come forward. Although there are not many people with cultivation in the world, there are still many after thousands of years. They must have relatives and friends, right?"
"I always feel that since I have cultivation, I should leave the souls of my relatives and friends behind in order to pray for more life."
"Maybe someone is about to die, and heard a rumor from somewhere that the underworld can add years to one's life, so he comes here to add years to his life."
"After all, we in the underworld are involved in too many people, not just the human race, the demon race, and all the spirits have their souls to deal with. There are always many cultivators who sneak in with some tricks."
"Basically, anyone who doesn't attack the ghost will be sent back to the human world."
"But they always think that the ghost messengers who bring back the souls of ordinary people are easy to bully, and they beat and kill them at will."
"Generally they will be punished by the underworld and beaten to death until their souls are scattered."
"No rebirth in eternity."
"After all, you have no respect for matters of life and death. In our eyes, you are truly hopeless."
"Among Master Lingbao's disciples and grandchildren, there are the most willful and reckless ones."
Bai Wuchang couldn't help but mutter, "I just hope Master Lingbao will pay more attention to their character when accepting disciples in the future."
"He accepted disciples, and his disciples accepted a large number of grandchildren. Relying on the spiritual treasure lineage, many of them acted recklessly."
"Master Yuqing doesn't have this problem. He basically won't come out if there's a problem among his disciples."
"In the past few thousand years, I have killed only 70 or 80 Lingbao disciples. I travel around the world every day and see too many people. Basically, every 100 or 200 years, I will definitely encounter a Lingbao lineage member. It's like snow in winter, very regular."
"How many did you chop, Lao Hei?"
Hei Wuchang said indifferently: "Forgot."
Bai Wuchang said: "He must have killed more than I did."
He sighed and said, "But over the years, the one that left the deepest impression on me was a guy who was so bold that he relied on his cultivation to the level of a True Lord and rushed directly to the depths of the netherworld. He raised his hand and used the Great Red Spirit Mantra [Pardon], intending to free the wandering ghosts here and release them to the human world. Good thing, he was beaten to death by the judge on the spot and thrown into purgatory."
"This incident almost caused a big incident where thousands of ghosts walked the world and the boundary between life and death became blurred."
"It was just a little bit short of triggering the Northern Emperor's Exorcism Institute."
"Instead, it implicated Lingbao's chief disciple, the Heavenly Lord of Rescue, who came in person to apologize."
"I helped the ten True Lords of the Nether Palace suppress the Netherworld for five hundred years before leaving."
"This is really arbitrary."
"What impressed you the most, Lao Hei?"
Hei Wuchang opened his eyes, touched the sword wound on his cheek, and replied indifferently: "Miao Jianxian..."
Bai Wuchang's smile faded slightly.
The young Taoist asked: "She is..."
Bai Wuchang didn't intend to answer.
Hei Wuchang said calmly, "A female sword fairy, with a beautiful appearance, wielding a long sword, defeated both of us at the same time with the realm of earthly fairy. She fought all the way from the Naihe Bridge to the Judge's Hall. In the end, the two of us, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Guards, Shentu, Yulei, Day Tour, Night Tour, the four great judges, all rushed forward, but we were no match for that woman."
"He is clearly just an earthly immortal, but with a sword in hand, he is extremely graceful and elegant."
"Even an ordinary True Lord may not be her opponent."
"It's... unforgettable."
The Great Heavenly Official of the Divine Sky Palace's expression changed slightly, and asked, "Is it her?"
Hei Wuchang subconsciously stopped, raised his eyes slightly, took a half step forward, and asked: "Do you know her? Where is she now?!" Bai Wuchang raised his hand and pressed Hei Wuchang's shoulder and said: "Old Black, calm down."
The Heavenly Official of the Divine Sky Palace hesitated and said, "Back then, a woman rushed into the Thunder Department with a sword."
"There are a total of thirty-six Thunder Palaces in the Thunder Department, such as the Divine Thunder Palace and the Jade Purity Thunder Palace, corresponding to the thirty-six heavens. The strongest Thunder General in each of the thirty-six heavens is one of the thirty-six generals of the Thunder Department. That woman defeated several generals and finally forced one of the thirty-six Thunder Generals to come forward and defeat her."
Hei Wuchang's expression changed several times, and he asked with a blank look:
"Are you okay?"
The Heavenly Official of the Divine Sky Palace said, "Nothing serious."
Hei Wuchang was silent, and said calmly: "Back then, she was in the underworld, and she fought her way to the chief judge's place, and was captured by the Judge Saint. Because she came all the way here, her sword skills were exquisite and unparalleled, but she never killed a ghost soldier or ghost general. Her sword energy was like frost, and she only defeated but did not kill. Therefore, the Judge Saint did not kill her, and finally made a deal with her."
“It’s the only one that succeeded.”
After the conversation, Hei Wuchang didn't want to talk about anything anymore. They walked onto a bridge, and under the bridge was the extremely cold and gloomy Yellow Spring. Bai Wuchang changed the subject with a smile, pointed at the Yellow Spring and said, "Do you know this place?" Everyone looked and saw that in the Yellow Spring were souls with ferocious and angry expressions. They pushed each other unwillingly and struggled constantly.
Bai Wuchang said calmly: "The Yellow Spring is a place where one needs to go to cleanse one's soul if one has too many evil thoughts."
"There is still the obsession of the common people in it."
"From ancient times to the present, from the time when the concept of reincarnation was created to the present, all the reincarnations of the common people, including the obsessions of the great emperors, are preserved here. No living person should enter. Those who enter this river will be corroded by the obsessions, which are more terrifying than the obstacles of evil spirits. Who can bear the obsessions of all living beings from the beginning to the present for countless years?"
"And under the underworld..."
"Oh, forget it."
Bai Wuchang opened his mouth, but even though he knew that these people were going to drink Meng Po soup later, he still didn't say anything.
The young Taoist walked onto the Naihe Bridge over the Yellow Springs.
Suddenly he felt something was wrong and paused. The Northern Emperor Realm on the side of him lit up slightly.
There seemed to be ripples appearing above the Yellow Springs.
However, above the underworld, countless obsessions of the common people turned into countless illusions, struggling with each other, creating layers of ripples. No one noticed the existence of these ripples. The young Taoist looked at the scene, turned around and left. After crossing the Naihe Bridge, Bai Wuchang pointed to a huge jade disk in front and said, "Look, this is the Yin De Bao Juan."
"The underworld will not interfere with the world of the living. After all, the dead are our fellow human beings."
"And the boundary between life and death is the existence we maintain."
"But there are always people whose behavior in the world is in line with the will of heaven, saving people and not seeking profit, which is Yin De."
"Those who have done good deeds can live a long life in the underworld. If they do not want to reincarnate, they can live in the underworld with a long life in the underworld. There are methods and elixirs here, similar to the elixirs in heaven, which can extend the life of the soul. However, they can only move in the underworld. If they enter the human world, their long life in the underworld will be broken by the yang energy. They can accumulate merits and deeds here, and then they can choose to reincarnate, or they can choose to be the jailer of the underworld."
One of the gods asked, "What good is it to stay here for a while and go to reincarnation?"
Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "After you recuperate your soul here, it will be in a more energetic state than the soul of others who have experienced a life of ups and downs. This also means that your talent after reincarnation will be better. As for exchanging some treasures for a Yin God with Yin virtue, although you will never be able to attain the Great Dao, you can gain Yin life, which can be considered immortality, except that you can't play in the human world."
"Of course, you need to constantly perform meritorious deeds and accumulate good karma in order to obtain the elixir that can prolong your life."
An old man said dejectedly: "Isn't it still hard to travel?"
Bai Wuchang replied: "Can life span be given arbitrarily at the price of cabbage?"
"If you don't want to do that, just go and reincarnate."
"Besides, there is a limit to refining the elixir that prolongs one's life. Once the limit is reached, one can only drink Meng Po soup and go to reincarnation."
“Although it is said that it is difficult for a Yin spirit to become a saint, who would be willing to give up that glimmer of hope so easily?”
"Ultimately, it is to ask for my longevity."
"Come on, everyone, come on. Ha, if you can save ten people, you will have ten points of good karma, and you can be encircled by flames. You can enter the underworld. We don't want evil people or evil spirits. There are as many evil spirits as you want in the eighteen levels of hell... Come on, one by one."
The first old man came up, but found that only a few faint lights appeared on the jade disk. Unable to believe it, Bai Wuchang said:
"I have done good deeds, but they cannot be called meritorious deeds. I am neither high nor low. I am a normal person."
"That's what ordinary people are like."
"Follow fate and reincarnation, without malice, good fortune and misfortune come from nowhere, only you bring them upon yourself."
"Let's go down, there is Meng Po soup over there."
“The soup tastes terrible.”
"But it doesn't matter. You won't notice it after you drink it."
"So until now, no one has made any bad comments about Meng Po's cooking skills or the taste of Meng Po's soup."
Bai Wuchang asked the other spirits to continue to check the Yin spirits with the magic weapons and precious jades, and then went with Hei Wuchang to the second True Lord in the Ten Dark Palaces, named Yin De Ding Xiu True Lord, to perform his duties. He put the files on the table, and then lay down on the chair. But when he picked up the tea, the True Lord was surprised and asked curiously:
"You guys are back now?"
Bai Wuchang, one of the ten great masters of the underworld, raised his eyebrows: "Of course."
"What else?"
"Oh, you mean that Heavenly Official? When Lao Hei takes action, how many people below the level of a True Lord can be his match?"
“As for the True Lord, he has transcended life and death. If he were to die, his soul would be scattered. He would not come here. If he were to undergo a calamity and be punished, he would be escorted here by the Tianshu Court. It’s okay, it’s okay…”
"No, where are the people I asked you to bring?"
Bai Wuchang was surprised and asked, "Who? Oh? That Taoist? Isn't his life span at the end? Are you going to pull him down?"
"It should be extraordinary."
"So that's why you asked us to do it ourselves?"
"???"
The veins on Yin De Ding Xiu Zhen Jun's forehead bulged, and he crushed the jade pen with a snap, saying:
"I said I wanted to invite him to have tea. Don't you understand what I mean by tea?"
"Bai Wuchang, is your brain also bleached?!"
Bai Wuchang was stunned, then became furious, pressed his hand on the table, veins bulged, and gnashed his teeth and said:
"You didn't explain clearly, Boss!"
"You are the second True Lord of the Underworld Palace, commonly known as the King of Hell."
"The King of Hell invites people to have tea!"
"No one knows you're really going to invite people over for tea!"
"What did he do to make you invite him to tea?"
Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun gnashed his teeth and said, "Because of him, many people were able to survive. Many people were implicated. His Yin De was too great. I am in charge of Yin De, and an old friend spoke to me, so I was curious and wanted to meet this Taoist priest. Let me reiterate that I am sincere. I just want to invite people to have tea..."
"Drink tea, understand!"
Bai Wuchang said, "But the last time you invited people for tea, you sent Cui Yuanjun away the next day."
Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun sighed and said:
"That was her own tribulation, her own tribulation!"
"Hei Wuchang, what are you doing?"
But they saw Hei Wuchang's face changed and he stood up, whispering: "Oh no, he is now in front of the Yin De Jade Scroll!" The faces of the three of them changed suddenly. The Yin De that saved countless lives would be treated fairly in the underworld as long as there was no judgment from the Exorcism Institute or the Tianshu Institute. The merit of saving ten people was already like a flame.
Hei Wuchang looked solemn: "How much did he measure?"
Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun said: "The quantity is a little bit too much, and the quality is a little bit too big."
at the same time.
The young Taoist stood up slowly. After knowing the hidden virtue, he was no longer in a hurry to see the judge.
But he also withheld the exorcism order. If things don't go as expected, there is always a backup plan.
One step stands on the jade disk.
Seeing that he was still young, Meng Po stirred the soup and prepared to serve him Meng Po soup.
At such a young age, what good deeds have you done?
Just now, the heavenly officials worked diligently and did have some good karma. The gods on earth enjoyed good weather and good harvests, but these were only considered as fulfilling their duties, not good karma. The real good karma recognized by this treasure scroll was only about a hundred points. When the young Taoist stood up, Meng Po lowered her head and served the soup. A faint light appeared on the jade disk.
Suddenly, this streak of light became brighter.
Meng Po suddenly realized that something was wrong and made a subconscious decision. She did not turn around and close her five senses immediately.
He didn't just curl up and close his eyes.
Instead, he raised his head and widened his eyes.
She instinctively took a step forward.
So the next moment.
She saw the Sun.
