Facing Hei Wuchang who was looking straight ahead, he pretended to be unaware of the questions from Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun.

The underworld of this era is not under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor of Heaven or the head of the earthly gods.

The ten true lords in the underworld are not afraid of anyone.

However, the underworld is an organization established to maintain order and dignity between the living and the dead. It is not an unreasonable place. With so many Yin De happening now, it is certainly impossible for them to pretend not to see it. That would destroy the majesty of the Yin De system established in the underworld over thousands of years, and there would be no constraints on the wandering ghosts and the many ghost officials.

For the order of life and death.

This time, True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu will definitely bleed heavily.

And it is active bleeding.

You also have to ask the Taoist priest over there whether he is satisfied or not.

It's not that I'm afraid of this person's background. Even if the Heavenly Lord came here, I would have to hand over a visiting card.

If immortals and gods commit evil, they will also go to the eighteen levels of hell.

Only those who save the world and turn the tide can be respected by the Yin God even if they have no cultivation.

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu had a gentle expression, still with the bearing of Lord Yan. He raised his hand and pointed to the Underworld Palace of the second underworld, and said with a smile: "My friend, come here and drink tea with me. True Lord Wu Chang You Ming, this place is left to you."

Hei Wuchang looked calm and agreed.

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu led Qi Wuhuo forward. When they crossed the Naihe Bridge, the Beidi Mirror on the Taoist young man's waist lit up again. There was a faint feeling of pulling. Qi Wuhuo subconsciously looked under the bridge. The previously turbid Yellow Spring became clear because Qi Wuhuo had just given up Yin De and saved his soul.

The Beidi Mirror was rotating, and there seemed to be an indescribable power of charm falling on Qi Wuhuo. This mirror had changed since Qi Wuhuo Zhongzhou swung that sword regardless of the cost and broke Zhongzhou's death calamity. At this moment, this breath fell into Qi Wuhuo's eyes, and his eyes were filled with divine light, which pierced through the endless Yellow Springs in an instant and saw what was below the Yellow Springs.

Under the Yellow Springs, there actually lies an extremely huge and magnificent palace complex!

The gate in the front was extremely magnificent. Even when viewed from the Naihe Bridge, it was boundlessly high, only slightly inferior to the Nantianmen in the sky. The gate was tightly sealed, with a dark red background, and large copper nails arranged on it. There was a plaque with the words "ghost mouth swallowing" and three ancient cloud seals on it. Because of tutoring Yunqin, Qi Wuhuo knew many ancient cloud seals and recognized that this was a variant of them.

With extremely powerful star god, life and death energy.

The young Taoist said to himself: "Fengdu City..."

The core of the ancient underworld.

It was actually sealed under the underworld held by all living beings.

The strange phenomenon in the Beidi Mirror disappeared.

The young Taoist crossed the Naihe Bridge safely, and was then led by True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu to the second-level Hades Palace of the underworld. It was not luxurious, but it was built quite large for the majesty of the Lord of the Underworld. It was used to intimidate not immortals and gods, but the vast majority of ordinary souls and ghosts who were identified by their appearance.

"Come, my friend, please have some tea."

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun spoke in a gentle voice, extended his hand to invite the young Taoist to sit down, and then brought a pot of tea.

The tea fire was cold and quiet.

The tea also has a chill of its own, emitting a faint, extremely yin and pure aura.

"In the dark underworld, there is no Yang energy or vitality."

"Besides, my friend is only a soul body now, but this is the tea that Yin Shen and Yuan Shen drink. Please."

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhen Jun had a gentle attitude. The young Taoist drank the tea and felt it was slightly cool at the entrance, but this slight coolness spread to every part of Qi Wu Huo's soul, making him feel a little comfortable. Yin De Ding Xiu Zhen Jun frowned slightly and said, "It is true..."

The young Taoist looked up curiously.

Zhenjun frowned slightly and said, "I wonder how Black and White Impermanence could have made a mistake."

"Strange, my friend, you are only sixteen years old, why does your soul already have signs of being over two hundred and fifty years old... This is the limit of the lifespan of an ordinary innate Qi." When he saw Qi Wuhuo for the first time, he noticed something unusual. Now, after Qi Wuhuo drank the tea, he sensed that the young Taoist's soul was absorbing the aura of the spiritual tea, so he made a decision.

The maximum lifespan of an ordinary person is 120 years.

If all three talents are complete, you can have a long life.

The lifespan of the innate Qi is twice that of the complete three talents, and the upper limit is three hundred years.

After Zhenjun's explanation, the young Taoist had a little understanding. He is now sixteen years old, and after that sword, his soul was extremely clear. He realized that he had lost three decades of his life because of a serious damage to his foundation. However, the King of Hell in front of him said that the lifespan of his soul had reached its limit. Qi Wuhuo thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that the experience in the dream was not false.

Could it be considered as damage to the soul?

Therefore, if you choose the first opportunity, it is the golden elixir that can directly prolong your life.

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun sighed and said, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the backlash you encountered when you drew your sword for the people of Zhongzhou. Your body, Yuan Qi, and Yuan Shen were all damaged by that sword. This is the cause."

"The reduction in lifespan is only external."

"And drink tea."

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun persuaded Qi Wuhuo to drink tea. The taste of tea was refreshing and nourishing to the soul. Zhenjun explained everything that happened before and said, "In fact, when Medicine Master Liuli Guang Tathagata was going through tribulations, he did not choose to reincarnate like other Zhenjun and Emperors, but came here instead."

"There are two kinds of reincarnation. One is to commit a crime but not to die."

"They will be sent here by the Shangqing Tianshu Academy. Even if they are beings like Zhenjun, whose true spirit is clear, they will have to drink Mengpo soup to let them reincarnate. The second one is like the Medicine Master, who discovered the mistakes of his previous path and started over again for the sake of trial and exploration. After the practitioners reach the state of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin, their true spirits will be clear for all eternity, and there will be no mystery in the womb at all."

"Many immortals and gods come to the mortal world to experience tribulations just like this, they just borrow a physical body."

"And the Medicine Master chose to be like the Emperor of Heaven. He sealed his own soul like a mortal and took the initiative to step into the land of reincarnation."

“I don’t know how many lifetimes it will take to get out of this.”

"He mentioned you to me. He told me that you were a good deed for saving the world by raining. He wanted me to pass on all the good deeds to you. But later, I found out that you had done something even greater. I was really surprised. So I asked the Black and White Impermanence to bring you here for a cup of tea and give you the things left by the pharmacist. I never thought that your soul's life span had come to an end..."

Qi Wuhuo said: "But I don't feel the dispersion of the soul."

Zhenjun smiled and said, "Your cultivation is extremely pure, and your innate Qi is condensed. Unless the day of your death comes, as long as you don't suffer from war, your body and soul will always remain in your best state. That's why you don't feel anything. It's a small matter. I will teach you a small method to check your soul, and you can see the life span of your soul."

"Although it is not as accurate as the Netherworld's Book of Life and Death, it can roughly estimate a person's lifespan."

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu indeed taught Qi Wuhuo a mantra, which enabled him to circulate his soul and look inward.

As expected, I discovered that although my divine light was round and pure, it was faintly dim and about to go out.

This is part of the kalpa.

Making a choice is just the beginning.

But the price you pay for making the choice is extremely long-lasting.

The young Taoist asked, "May I ask, Master Zhenshen, is there any way to break this poor Taoist's soul?"

Zhenjun replied: "It is extremely difficult."

"The underworld will not extend anyone's life unless you are willing to abandon your path, give up your physical body and primordial qi, and turn to the path of the underworld spirit. With your virtue and talent, I guarantee that you can cultivate to the realm of earthly immortals, but no one has been able to use this to enter the realm of the True Lord, where the three flowers gather at the top of the head, the five qi return to the origin, the body is transformed, and the transformation is free."

"For the rest of your life, your realm can only stop here."

"Although the lifespan of earthly immortals also has a limit, it is already infinitely long and almost immortal."

The young Taoist shook his head.

The True Lord sighed and said, "It is just as Medicine Master Liuliguang Tathagata said. Although your heart is firm, you are destined to face many disasters. It is just right that he left this item for you." The True Lord reached into his arms and took out an object. It was an ordinary string of Buddhist beads, but the texture was warm and smooth. He said, "This is the Buddhist beads he used before."

"According to the Taoist teachings, this can be considered as the dual cultivation of sex and life."

"At this moment, he entered the cycle of reincarnation, the Buddhist nirvana, and abandoned everything, and these Buddhist beads were also left behind."

"This item can calm your soul and prevent it from dispersing. As long as your mind is pure, it can make the life span of your soul and body match each other and preserve your soul for a short period of time. The old monk is right. All the talented people in the Taoist sect have experienced many life and death tribulations, but why did he prepare this item in advance?"

"Could it be that your soul was already showing signs of aging at that time?"

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu shook his head and sighed, then handed over the thing that could be called the greatest treasure of Buddhism.

The young Taoist understood that he only had the three talents at that time, and his life span limit was 120 to 150 years.

And if the Yellow Millet Dream can be considered an experience of the primordial spirit.

Then the life span of the soul at that time would be almost a hundred years.

The young Taoist took the Buddhist beads. They felt warm to the touch and had a majestic aura. The aging of his soul was stopped by this object as if it had entered amber. The True Lord consoled him, saying, "Although the Medicine Master foresaw that you would have this day of disaster, these Buddhist beads are just external objects after all. Is there anything in the world that has only benefits but no cost?"

"You still have to cultivate your soul and spirit with your own realm to seek the great way. Then this calamity will naturally disappear."

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun sighed, and suddenly looked a little sad. Then he stretched out his hand and rummaged in his bosom, seeming to be in distress. Finally, he slowly took out a jade slip and placed it on the table, presenting the appearance of ink-colored colored glass. Then he pushed it in the direction of Qi Wuhuo and said, "My friend, save the people according to the rules of the underworld ten thousand years ago."

"As long as you are not punished by the Exorcism Court or the Tianshu Court, your good deeds must be rewarded."

"These are the things from the Underworld Palace in this world. You can choose them."

Qi Wuhuo subconsciously shirked the responsibility.

This is because the so-called small method passed down by the True Lord is probably the unique means of the Yin gods in the underworld.

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun felt pain on his face, but he still shook his head and said, "No."

"I give you a choice, little friend, not for you, but for the order of the underworld."

"order?"

"Well, my friend, do you know that in ancient times, the netherworld belonged to the North Pole of the Central Sky. There was a god called the Great Emperor, the Great Emperor of Fengdu of the Northern Yin of the Central Sky, who was in charge of all matters of the netherworld."

Qi Wuhuo thought of the majestic dead city he had just seen under the underworld.

Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun motioned the young Taoist to drink tea, and said gently: "The cycle of life and death is the basic rule of the entire world. In fact, the source is very simple, it is just the natural change between life and death, just like water flows to the lower place. The ghosts entered the netherworld, an extremely cold place, because they hated the yang energy. And because the creatures in the underworld longed to return to life, during the first calamity, many souls found the way to the world of the living."

"But when entering this path, the experience of the primordial spirit and everything about the soul will undergo a transformation of yin and yang."

"If the body needs to be reshaped, there will be a natural reincarnation. As for where the soul will go and whether it is a man or a woman, it all depends on fate. But you know, wherever there are sentient beings, there are all seeking salvation. If there is something to seek, in the eyes of some beings, it is a benefit."

"As long as you control the place of reincarnation, you can control the ghosts in the underworld and control the boundary between life and death."

"He even slaughtered common people just to increase the number of his generals and subordinates."

"That happened after the Second Tribulation Era. At that time, the six realms were in chaos. The powerful wanted to obtain the power of the Netherworld Reincarnation. First, there was the ancient god Zhulong, and then a blood river that was born from nowhere flowed here. It was incredibly chaotic at that time. There was fighting, and Zhulong disappeared. The blood river became more and more rampant."

"At that time, Emperor Haotian suppressed all the ancient gods."

"And his ally, the leader of the Four Imperial Gods, Lord Beidi, came directly here. Haha, don't think that Lord Beidi doesn't show up now, because it's Lord Tianpeng who shows up. But Lord Beidi in the first and second calamity eras was the number one war god in the heavens, full of murderous intent. Under his command, Zhou Tianxing had also killed those famous ancient gods."

“He came to the underworld and beat the evildoer who was transformed by the blood river until his spirit collapsed. He then hung the blood river directly on the river in the sky. Only then did He usher in the peace of the second calamity era and enter the third calamity era.”

"Afterwards, when the ancient gods left, ghosts proclaimed themselves emperors and disturbed the netherworld. They were called the Five Ghost Emperors."

"The Northern Emperor then cut out a clone, which fell into the netherworld."

"He transformed into the Great Emperor of Zhongtian Beiyin Fengdu and suppressed the Five Ghost Emperors."

"It went on peacefully for a long time until the present era. Ten thousand years ago, the connection between heaven and earth was lost again. The netherworld was in chaos again. No one knew what happened. Even the Northern Emperor took his clone back. The netherworld in the human world had its own City God Division, but they also lost contact."

"At the beginning, we were able to maintain basic order, but later, without the suppression of the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor, the Five Ghost Emperors began to riot. At that time, the entire Fengdu City was more than 2,300 miles long, and there were 72 officials to suppress the ghosts and gods of the world."

"They are all extremely evil ghosts."

"The Five Ghost Emperors were not necessarily willing to maintain order, and the underworld was in turmoil, which eventually led to an imbalance between life and death in the mortal world. It was a time of war. It took more than two thousand years for us to maintain the underworld. We don't know what happened back then. After the incident was over, the Northern Emperor reopened the former North Pole Exorcism Institute and fulfilled the duties of the ancient era again, beheading countless people."

"Blood flowed like a river, and human heads rolled like a pile. This is what kept the six realms together, and prevented the six realms from returning to the era of mutual slaughter in the first era."

"And the way we maintain the underworld is through rewards and punishments."

"The punishment is for coveting the Yin life and violating the boundary between life and death, while the reward is for saving the living and crossing the dead, so as to maintain order."

"Even so, the five ghost realms and seventy-two departments that suppressed all rebellious ghosts and gods have been reduced to the current four departments and ten halls, regulating the reincarnation of souls in the six realms. If you have done a great deed today and I don't show any appreciation, then where is the order? It's like the Exorcist's Court seeing people rebelling against the order but not killing them. Although there is a reward and a punishment, it's actually the same thing."

"So my friend, you must not refuse."

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu gritted his teeth.

Being calm and composed is the boundary between life and death, and it is the bearing that the King of Hell in the underworld would have.

But the pain is real.

"Please, my friend, please, please."

"do not mention it."

"real."

True Lord Yin De Ding Xiu patted his face, and said gently: "This place contains my Netherworld accumulation of ten thousand years."

"Some are ancient relics left over from the second catastrophe of the ancient times."

"There are also things from the period of the Five Ghost Emperors during the third calamity, and things from the period of the Northern Emperor Fengdu during the fourth calamity. However, the divine objects are obscure and do not shine with divine light. We cannot tell whether they are good or bad, or what use they have, so we have no choice but to collect them all. Of course, since they are ancient objects, they still require a lot of good karma."

"My dear friend, please follow me..."

Having said that, Qi Wuhuo felt it would be unfair to him if he refused, so he stood up and followed him.

The young Taoist's sleeves moved slightly, and then fell down.

The Beidi Mirror on his waist lit up slightly.
