Chapter 432: Lu Ying Meets Tu Bo at the Ghost Market
I haven't seen Lu Ying since the Yuanqing battle three years ago. I heard that he didn't even return to the Supreme Sect.
At that time, True Man Lieyang passed away and even his body was not found. Everyone was immersed in grief and searched for Lu Ying but to no avail. They all thought that he had also died in the catastrophe and after a cenotaph was built for him, the matter was left unresolved.
However, Lu Ying came to the demon world alone.
Originally, it was put into a bag by a demon, who wanted to take it back to the demon world to enjoy it. However, after arriving in the demon world, the demon was delayed by Lingxiang's title ceremony. As a result, Lu Ying had the opportunity to escape.
This can be considered as being saved by Lingxiang again.
After Lu Ying escaped from the Demon City, he was affected by the aura of the Netherworld. In a daze, he accidentally walked to the Weak Water Ferry and happened to knock down Bai Gao who was rowing a boat, and was rescued.
At that time, the boundary gate had been destroyed and Lu Ying had nowhere to go, so he followed Bo Gao's advice and hid in the ghost market.
Otherwise, when luck comes, it cannot be stopped.
Soon after arriving at the ghost market, I met an old man with disheveled hair and a dirty face. That man was Tu Bo.
It is said that Tu Bo was originally a follower of Hou Tu Niangniang. Hou Tu Niangniang transformed into the six paths, and Tu Bo was in charge of the underworld for a thousand years. After the Divine Court was stabilized, the underworld was governed by Ziwei Emperor.
Later, during the Conferred Gods War, the immortals were worshipped, the Emperor Ziwei experienced tribulations on earth, and the underworld was handed over to the Emperor Fengdu, thus establishing the current underworld.
Therefore, Tu Bo is one of the few ancient gods left, and the one who truly governs the Ghost Market is not the legendary dragon ghost or sky dragon, but this Tu Bo.
When the Divine Court first offered amnesty, Tu Bo had to hand over the underworld due to the will of heaven. However, he was unwilling to go along with the gods, and he could not let go of the underworld dedicated to Hou Tu Niangniang. Therefore, he built this ghost market outside the Ruoshui Source to supervise Fengdu's every move.
If the underworld is unfair, he will rebel at any time.
Lu Ying followed Bai Gao's instructions and entered the ghost market, but he didn't know where to go. He hadn't taken two steps when he was stopped by Tu Bo, who insisted on telling him his fortune.
Facing the old man, Lu Ying didn't want to offend him too much, so seeing that he couldn't refuse, he let him do it.
There is nowhere to go anyway, so what's the harm in doing some calculations?
Unexpectedly, the seemingly inconspicuous old man was quite accurate in his calculations. No matter where Lu Ying came from, which school he studied under, or how many years he had practiced, he was able to predict everything with 100% accuracy without saying a word.
This shocked Lu Ying. Even his own master, Zhenren Lieyang, who had made considerable achievements in arithmetic, could not calculate so accurately.
Lu Ying was about to believe it, but after hearing Tu Bo say that he was the incarnation of the Star of Wisdom and insisted on taking him as his disciple, he became cautious again.
This routine always feels a bit similar to those fake Taoist priests who cheat people in the mortal world?
What merits and abilities did Lu Ying possess? Could he be the reincarnation of a star? If he were truly a star, why would someone have simply stuffed him into a sack, leaving him in this hopeless situation today?
Hey! You can’t disbelieve what arithmetic says, but you can’t believe it completely either. Just treat it as a joke.
However, this little doubt was completely dispelled after Tu Bo said that he could provide a place to stay.
Tsk…
A hero is hard to come by for three taels of gold; a real man can bend and stretch.
Beheading is just a scar the size of a bowl. For a small place to live, it's nothing more than being fooled. It won't cost you a piece of flesh, so what's there to be afraid of...
Now that you are here, make the best of it!
Lu Ying naturally comforted himself and accepted the current facts with peace of mind.
Tu Bo’s small house is not very big, but it has everything he needs.
After all, it is the underworld. It is good enough to have a place to live. There is no right to be picky.
However, there is a small courtyard in the house. Although there are no rockery or flowing water, it has stone paths, flowers and plants, which has a unique flavor.
It’s just that some of the flowers and plants are strange in shape and look scary.
Fortunately, Lu Ying didn't care and thought it was just the bad taste of old age.
When they first settled in, Tu Bo was quite friendly. He just said that Lu Ying was just a mortal after all, so he should rest for three or two days and adapt to the atmosphere of the Netherworld before discussing other things.
So in the first few days, Lu Ying lived a relatively comfortable life. Apart from practicing martial arts every day, he also meditated, but he never sat in meditation or introspected.
This was also the daily routine when I was in the sect. After forming a habit, I can't give it up now.
Before going to the Ghost Market, Bo Gao had given some advice that the aura of the Netherworld was extremely cold and gloomy, and even a person with a purely yang body might not be able to withstand it. If it was not necessary, it was best not to regulate the breathing.
As for what Lu Ying was thinking about, no one knew it, but it was definitely not what he had thought about during morning classes in the past.
The current situation is not optimistic. Lu Ying has to think of a way to escape on the one hand, and on the other hand he has to endure the inner torment.
When setting out for Yuanqing, Master Lieyang repeatedly reminded them that this trip might be unpredictable and if anything happened, no one should risk their lives for revenge.
The enemy is right next to us, and this vengeance cannot be shared. If I cannot take revenge, wouldn’t I be unworthy of being a follower?
But it's hard to disobey the master's orders! And now my own situation is like being upside down, so how can I talk about revenge?
The days passed by in this kind of entanglement and comfort.
But one day, Tu Bo suddenly appeared with a ruler in his hand. His attitude changed drastically and he forced Lu Ying to meditate.
What? Sitting in meditation? Why not just tell him to die?
Senior Bai Gao had warned against practicing qigong and regulating breathing, but now this old man wanted to meditate on his own, and told him to go die.
Lu Ying was about to say something to protest, but Tu Bo shouted at him, "Since you're a disciple, you should do whatever the master tells you to do. There's no need to refuse!"
How come this old man changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book?
"But……"
As soon as Lu Yingfang opened his mouth, the slender ruler fell down and hit his leg hard, making a dull sound.
hiss……
It still hurts...
This old man looks skinny, but he is so strong.
Lu Ying rubbed the painful spot for a while to relieve the pain, but he didn't dare to speak anymore. He could only look at Tu Bo with grievance.
Tu Bo looked very satisfied, with his hands behind his back in a serious manner, like a teacher checking homework in the mortal world.
"I won't let you take this beating in vain. Since you have doubts in your heart, I will explain them to you."
this……
This "teacher" sounds really awkward to me...
Although Lu Ying was reluctant, he did not refute and waited for the next step.
"The netherworld was originally a fiery hell, covered with flowing rocks and a sea of fire. When the world was first created, pure air rose to form the sky, turbid air fell to form the earth, and below that was the netherworld."
"The turbid air is extremely cold and yin, and the one that comes first is even more severe. It falls into the netherworld and merges with fire and rock to form mountains and land."
"At that time, all things were created, and birth and aging were all natural and spontaneous, thus giving rise to the world of all gods."
"The gods coexist in this world, fighting for supremacy. The world collapses and all living things suffer."
"Hou Tu, with compassion, transformed into the six realms, beginning the cycle of reincarnation."
"Hmm..." Lu Ying suddenly interrupted, "So what does this have to do with you insisting on me meditating?"
Tu Bo, who was interrupted, looked dissatisfied and raised the ruler in his hand high, which scared Lu Ying so much that he shrank his neck and quickly closed his eyes.
But after waiting for a long time, the ruler didn't fall, but I heard Tu Bo sigh.
"Do you know why the demons were born?"
this……
I've never heard of this...
