Chapter 231: Soul and Spirit Transformed into Demon
King Wu succeeded King Wen in destroying the Shang Dynasty. As he had no teacher yet, he appointed Shu Dan as his tutor. Shu Dan was a man of great talent and strategy, and worked hard day and night.
At the Battle of Muye, the Western Zhou Dynasty secured a great victory, dividing the country into nine states and establishing Haojing as its capital. However, King Wu's mandate of heaven was drawing to a close. Despite his ambitions for the entire world, he died young. He passed away the following year, entrusting his legacy to Zhou Shudan, who later became known as...
Emperor of Zhou!
When the troops arrived at Chaoge, Emperor Xin knew that his luck was over, so he held a cup and laughed wildly, put a precious jade on his body, climbed up to the Deer Tower, and burned himself to death.
The Black Bird, ordained by Heaven, descended and gave birth to the Shang Dynasty. Emperor Ku, the founder of the Shang Dynasty and the great-grandson of Emperor Xuanyuan, transformed into a bird. The bird's egg was swallowed by the Yourong clan, who later gave birth to Yanbo, who was named Qi.
Qi assisted Emperor Yu in governing Tianshui, and made outstanding contributions. He was granted the title of Shangyi, which marked the beginning of the Shang Dynasty.
Therefore, Emperor Xin was originally from the lineage of the human emperor.
In ancient times, humans and gods supported each other and were equal. Zhou responded to the will of heaven and destroyed the Shang Dynasty and defeated King Zhou, and was later called "Son of Heaven".
Although Emperor Xin was stupid and cruel, he was actually talented in both civil and military affairs. On the Fengshen Platform, he was given the title of "Tianxi" and was in charge of marriage matters.
King Wu ascended the Deer Tower and beheaded Emperor Xin with a yellow axe, hanging the head on a white flag. Then he entered the palace and beheaded the two concubines and also hung their heads.
At that time, a concubine was pregnant. Her bloodline was from the Human Emperor. Her soul had entered the underworld and her spirit had taken shape. Before she came into the world, her soul had returned to the underworld.
However, he eventually became the emperor of mankind and possessed divine status, so the underworld could not take him in. He could only wander under Mount Dong and outside the Wangchuan River, and did not have a good end for a long time.
There was already a lot of resentment on the Yellow Springs Road, and the ghosts fed on the accumulated resentment. Over time, it became a climate, and strange horns and flesh were born.
Therefore, he opened up a city outside Wangchuan River and brought the souls of the dead into his service. Over time, it became a world of its own and no one could do anything about it.
Now that it has flesh and blood, it has a lifespan. The soul naturally knows this, so it abducts mortal monsters and combines the two in order to prolong its existence. Thus, the demon race was born.
But demons are different from living creatures. Their ancestors were originally a gathering of resentful souls, and they gave birth to offspring through a method that defied heaven. Therefore, although they have flesh and blood, they only have two souls and four spirits.
What is the soul? It is the three parts and seven parts of a person.
The first of the three souls is called the Heavenly Soul, Taiguang, which controls the primordial spirit and returns to heaven; the second of the three souls is called the Earthly Soul, Shuangling, which controls the yang spirit and returns to the underworld; the third of the three souls is called the Life Soul, Youjing, which controls the yin spirit and returns to the grave.
The seven spirits are Tianchong, Linghui, Qi, Li, Zhongshu, Jing and Ying, which control joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, desire and hate.
This is the soul and spirit of an ordinary person, while the devil only has two souls, Shuangling and Youjing, and the spirits vary, some may have no joy or anger, some may have no love or desire, but no matter what, they are all powerless.
Strength and soul swallowing thieves belong to the heart chakra, which controls the heart and fear. Therefore, the demons are good at fighting because they are fearless.
Because their spirits are lacking, the demons will always show one or two of the seven emotions, such as moodiness, or insatiable cunning and deceit.
…
The gods had no other choice at that time, but they could not ignore the people, so they sent Zhou to attack Shang on the pretext of conferring the gods.
The demons are the descendants of the human king, and those who slay demons can only be human beings!
Looking at the gradually disappearing figure, Fairy Yao Ji couldn't help but sigh: Lingxiang, the road ahead is full of twists and turns. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
"Since you are reluctant to let her go, why not keep her?" Yun Zhongjun also stared into the water mirror.
Fairy Yao Ji shook her head, and after a long pause she said, "It's hard to keep a person's heart. This is inevitable; this hardship is inevitable. Once we leave this water mirror, the calamity will begin. I just hope these children can survive it safely."
The evil beast on the side was very puzzled. Fairy Yao Ji was not a sentimental person, so why was she so concerned about that little girl? She was also like this when Tu Mi came before.
Yes, yes! She remembered!
Tumi is from the Yuwang lineage, and Yuwang is the grandson of Shennong Yun. Although Fairy Yaoji has attained enlightenment, she was the daughter of old man Shennong during her lifetime. In this way, they are still a family!
The evil beast suddenly realized at this moment. No wonder Fairy Yao Ji was so protective of Tu Mi and the little girl, and even sent him out twice.
Humph! It really is true that if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door!
…
After Yinghuan left, Bai Wuchang glanced at Hui Wu, who was in a miserable state, and an ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"So, what am I going to do with you?"
His tone sounded helpless, like a loving father who couldn't do anything about his child. But Hui Wu shuddered when he heard it.
Having followed Bai Wuchang for so long, Hui Wu knew his temperament well. The more Bai Wuchang appeared calm and composed, the more furious he became.
"Messenger! Messenger!" Hui Wu hurriedly knelt and crawled to Bai Wuchang's feet, "Messenger, please give me another chance!" He kowtowed.
Listening to Huiwu's constant pleading at his feet, Bai Wuchang waved his folding fan and began to fan leisurely.
"Oh? You want a chance? But how can you repay me?"
This really stumped Hui Wu. According to his understanding, if it wasn't beneficial to Bai Wuchang, he would definitely not show mercy.
But what can I give him?
Hui Wu panicked for a moment. He really didn't know how Bai Wuchang could use him.
The reason I initially decided to become a demon was because I no longer wanted to suffer injustice or feel inferior to others. But now, it seems like I'm still being trampled underfoot, and I can't even decide my own life.
And what was he wrong?!
No! I can't die like this!
"Messenger! Messenger!" Hui Wu pleaded, tugging at the hem of Bai Wuchang's robe. "Spare my life, and I will certainly be able to help the Messenger. I am willing to sacrifice my life for the Messenger, even if it means death! Messenger! Messenger!"
Just as Hui Wu was desperately begging for mercy, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind him. Hui Wu was already terrified, and the suddenness of the situation nearly frightened him to death. He collapsed on the ground, speechless for a long time. However, Bai Wuchang seemed accustomed to this, simply waving his folding fan and speaking calmly:
"General Wolf Head, why are you here at this time?"
The wolf-headed general simply bowed slightly and replied calmly, "The Demon Lord received the letter and ordered me to come and help."
Bai Wuchang sneered upon hearing this: "It's just such a small matter, is it really necessary for the general to intervene?"
He glanced at the bewildered Hui Wu and pondered for a long time before speaking again, "Well, I'll give you one more chance. Please don't let me down again!"
Upon hearing this, Hui Wu was like a drowning man grabbing a straw. He quickly stood up and kowtowed, saying "Thank you, messenger... Thank you, messenger... I will definitely..."
But the words were stuck in my mouth.
Bai Wuchang just raised his hand and Hui Wu was suspended in the air. Then Bai Wuchang stretched out a finger and Hui Wu's chest was pierced.
Before Hui Wu's face was filled with astonishment, a drop of blood was ejected into the hole in her chest, and he immediately felt a burning chaos in his body.
This feels familiar!
However, this time, Huiwu did not turn into a stone sculpture, but his body continued to expand and change.
Suddenly, the body seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and exploded suddenly, blood splattered everywhere, and the surrounding plants stained with the devil's blood all withered and died.
Hui Wu took on a demonic form, with four wings growing from his spine, feet like an eagle, claws like a tiger, a yellow face and green eyes. Even the broken horn on his forehead looked terrifying.
The monster-like Hui Wu let out bursts of roars, which seemed to be in pain and also like a threat. The birds in the forest were startled and the beasts hid away.
Faced with such a scene, Bai Wuchang fanned himself calmly.
"General Wolf Head must be very familiar with this!"
But Wolf Head did not answer, but looked as if it had nothing to do with him, as if what he was doing was just as ordinary as his three meals a day.
At that moment, Hui Wu's black feathers began to fall off, igniting black flames in mid-air and dispersing with the wind, a strange sight. Then, scales stained with demonic blood emerged from Hui Wu's body, creaking like sharp blades.
After a long time, the dust settled.
Hui Wu felt as if he had been roasted by the fire of hell, and lay on the ground gasping for breath.
But this pitiful appearance did not move Bai Wuchang. He just waved his folding fan and said calmly: "If you disappoint me again, I will make you suffer this demonic transformation every moment for the rest of your life."
Hui Wu raised his head upon hearing this. Although he had transformed back into human form, his face was covered in dark scales, like a venomous snake...
