Text: Like Duckweed_Chapter 0011 Narrating the past
The Ghost King talked to me for a while, and when he learned about my life experience, he was very sympathetic. I asked the origin of the ghost king, and I was also embarrassed. Only then did I know that he was the King of Equality, one of the ten Hades Kings of the underworld.
As soon as Wang Ping was born, he lost his feet and was born with a congenital disability. At that time, it was the calamity period of the Fourth 10,000-year Tribulation, a catastrophe of 9,900 years, the calamity period was approaching, the world was in chaos, and various countries in the human world were fighting with each other under the leadership of the main sects, and the common people did not care whether you had martial arts or not, as long as you were a man, between the ages of fifteen and seventy, you must be conscripted into the army, otherwise you would be punished as a capital crime.
Princes and nobles have the right to stay in their homes. King Ping's surname was Murong before his death, called Murong Siqi, and the Murong family was referred to as the "declining nobles" at that time, and had no real power, but they enjoyed the same political and personal rights as ordinary nobles, that is, the people of the Murong family could not apply at all.
King Ping's father was shocked when he saw his son's strange appearance of hands and feet, thinking that this was God's punishment for the mistakes made by his Murong family in the past. It's a pity that he still thinks about his wife and children in his heart, dreams of a family reunion one day, and misses it so much that he can't eat and has no energy. The battlefield is changing rapidly, how can you think about this and that, and your hands and feet are weak? In a trance, you are cut down by the enemy under your horse and stepped into a puddle of mud.
Murong Siqi's mother and Master Murong love each other very much, and when they heard that their husband died on the battlefield, they wanted to die with their bodies. The others persuaded her, saying that you can't leave the child, this child is only two years old, can you bear to call him without a father and a mother?
His mother thinks about it, suicide is small, and her son is looked down upon, that is not right to be a mother, so hide her grief for the time being and raise her children. She cried for a few days, and after a long time, she didn't want to die. And when she didn't want to die, death came.
When the father-in-law and mother-in-law who raised Master Murong heard the news of his death, they also cried to death, but what can people do when they die? People have been drowning in excessive sadness for too long, and they are prone to trance, and King Ping's grandmother was in poor spirits, and when she hung the corn cob, she vaguely saw Master Murong waving in the distance, and fell down and died when she stepped on the air.
She just fell to her death, but she dragged her husband to hell. Master Murong and his father are really miserable, he just learned that his son was hanging, and in a blink of an eye, his wife was also hanging, not only did the white-haired person send the black-haired person, but also sent a beloved who accompanied him through most of his life within half a year, and his heart couldn't help but be sour and bitter.
On the day when he sent his wife to the mountain for burial, Murong's husband said that he would go into battle in person, a seventy-year-old man, carrying his wife's coffin and shedding tears while walking, and anyone who saw it would sigh sadly.
Murong's husband felt that the atmosphere was not gloomy enough, and he was silent for a long time, so he made a touching poem within seven steps, and sang it slowly in his magnetic baritone, and his song said: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the son is gone and will never return; the rain is dashing and the mountains are wet, and the old man is sad and heartbroken; the daughter-in-law has no husband and guards the empty house, and the old man is empty and lonely; God, God, you don't know how to be a good man; Earth, earth, how do you misdistinguish the mandarin ducks." I can't say it, no one sends that thought, and it's messy, how can I forget this kind of tenderness. ”
I was stunned when I heard this, isn't this the style of Dou E's injustice? Old man Murong, you are too good! King Ping continued: "My father-in-law hissed and shouted: 'Lady, if you have a spirit in the underworld, come out and meet me!' This roar, with deep hatred in sorrow, went straight to the eighteenth layer of hell, and alarmed the great compassion of the King of the Earth Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva asked the Divine Beast Truth, 'Can you hear the mournful cry of the old man above?' and Answered, 'The disciple heard.' It's just that the disciple is stupid and doesn't understand the deep meaning, so he asks the Bodhisattva for advice. ’”
I listened to the words of King Ping, and interjected: "Could it be that King Jizo Bodhisattva let your mother-in-law's soul go back and let her return to yang?" King Ping sighed and said, "That's what King Bodhisattva originally thought, but King Jizo Bodhisattva just told it that life is better than death." The rules of the underworld are like this, you can die early, you can't live again!" King Ping paused and said: "After the suggestion of the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, Di Ting came to the way of my father-in-law's funeral, opened his mouth to do so, and suddenly the wind was fierce, and everyone could not stand, and the coffin shook violently, took off the rope, and crushed my father-in-law to death. ”
"Gah?" I was full of black lines, and I secretly scolded the Jizo King Bodhisattva in my heart for not being authentic, which was simply a fall into the ground.
The King of Equality shook his head and sighed, "What happened later was even more unbelievable. My mother buried them both, and after the worship, she was about to go back, but she slipped and stuck herself in the candlestick. Although there were people at that time, after all, they were in the mountains, and by the time they sent them to the pharmacy, their bodies were already cold. ”
I can't help but want to laugh, this King of Equality is really unlucky, in the blink of an eye, all his relatives are dead! And the death is really unjust, either accidental death, or being killed by Di Ting, people who don't know still think that it was a serial killer who did it! Seeing my strange expression, King Ping smiled and said: "Now I am naturally not sad, sometimes you are destined to be unlucky, and there is no way." Unless you can cultivate to the point where you can see through the heavens, you can prevent it in advance. ”
"Oh?" I suddenly became interested: "Immortals can cultivate to such a point?" King Ping nodded and said, "Anyone with superb mana, regardless of immortals and monsters, can reach this level." Even if it's that kind of divine beast, it's okay!"
So the King of Equality told me about the truth. Nadi Ting is one of the twelve divine beasts, and its body is originally an elephant. After becoming a jing, he saw countless compatriots being hunted and killed by hunters, suffering from low spells, unable to compete with those who had spells among the hunters, and had no brute strength, and there was nothing to do.
One day it hid in the jungle and heard a conversation between two hunters. One said, "Elephant meat is delicious! It would be better if it were more tender." The other said, "If you go to a young elephant and find a herd of female elephants, won't there be a lot ......of baby elephants in a few years?"
"Oh, you mean......," the man who wanted to eat tender meat asked cautiously. "That's right, those bull noses who are easy to read the door, they have advanced Taoism, and they are more than enough to deal with adult elephants. I heard that one of them is a little more powerful, and can kill people for thousands of miles with a flying sword! But ......" The speaker's voice slowly deepened, with a faint fear.
The man hurriedly asked him, "But what?"
Another said: "The rules of the easy-to-read sect are very strict, if a few of their elders know about it, it will be miserable, either expelled, or after thinking about it for decades, because of this, many disciples who want to make money and want to be famous have not come down the mountain." In addition, what we are doing is to lose our conscience, and retribution should not matter to us, but this is what those who hope to become immortals are most afraid of! Also, I heard them say that the Jizo King Bodhisattva has a pair of tusks, what kind of divine beast teeth in the flood era, and there are monsters in the elephants that have become essences, once they steal this, no matter how powerful the spell is, it will be in vain. ”
When Di heard this, he almost jumped for joy, thinking that this time his compatriots were finally saved. Excited, no matter how dangerous the underworld is, he cast the spell of retreat to the Netherworld, turned into a small monster, and blended into the Senluo Palace.
Di Ting's eloquence is quite first-class, and he turned around the bull head and horse face, and learned from them that today the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth went to the west to listen to the scriptures. The opportunity never came again, and Di Ting sneaked into the room of the Jizo King, found two golden tusks on the Bodhisattva's lotus platform, and as soon as he succeeded, he immediately sneaked out of the underworld.
Di Ting is equipped with gold teeth, majestic, and happy. When he arrived in the yang world, he gathered all the family members, used demon magic to install two white tusks on each elephant, and then differentiated a little spiritual power from the fangs of the divine beast and sent them into the white tusks. Since then, all the elephants in this forest have had hard tusks, which are intimidating to hunters. The herd of elephants had strong tusks, and every once in a while they had to go to the hunters for trouble, and a large number of frequent dispatches ruined the peasants' crops, and from time to time they trampled one or two innocent people to death, and the number of times was too much, which annoyed an elder of the easy-to-read door on the Immortal Peak.
The elder had a loving heart, and he often said, "I love everything in the world because everything is so good." I love my enemies because I can improve quickly because of them, I love beautiful people because they have sadness in their eyes, and I love ugly people because they have peace of mind. ”
The Elder loves everything in the world, including the elves. Since he was an orphan and had no name, the people were moved by his fraternity and called him "the loving old man." "As a cultivator, the loving old man often helps the monster escape from his fellow practitioners, and he can't do this in the cultivation realm. Under pressure from other sects, the elder had to swear that he was not at odds with the goblins, and in order to prove that he was consistent with his words and deeds, he had slain demons over the years, killing thousands of goblins, and had already transformed his love into the pleasure of killing demons.
Hearing that the elephants at the foot of the mountain were in turmoil, the elder was furious, and the grand master of the dignified generation let a few elephants bully the people at his feet. Disciple Liu Xuan, who has been on the mountain to learn art for seven years, although he can't kill demons and demons, but it is more than enough to deal with a few beasts, please ask the ancestor to approve the disciple to go down the mountain and share the worries of your old man. ”
The elder was overjoyed, and lent him his sword of love, asking him to go early and return early. Liu Xuan obeyed the order to descend the mountain, went to a hunter's house to eat some food, and the next morning, ambushed in the Bao Valley where elephants often haunted. When the sun was about to set, the elephants arrived as scheduled, about twenty or so, with a whirlwind, and the heavy elephant legs stepped on the ground, and the sound of the elephant was non-stop.
"Did he win?" I asked anxiously. Hades speaks too slowly, and it hangs people's appetites.
"Don't worry," King Ping smiled faintly and said, "Although these elephants have ivory, they are just a piece of cake for Liu Xuan, who has studied Taoist swordsmanship for seven or eight years. His fatal part is to kill them all, so that Di Ting has to take action. Listen to me......"
Liu Xuan heard the earth-shaking footsteps and knew that the elephant was coming, so he was not in a hurry, and waited for the best time in the grass. A two-meter-tall adult elephant danced into the corn stalks, rolled its nose into the air like a water pipe, pulled out the corn stalks, put the stems and leaves into its mouth, chewed a few times, swallowed it into its stomach, and ate it with relish.
The opportunity has come! Liu Xuan popped out like an arrow, stabbed with a sword in his right hand, "Flutter!" The sword cut through the thick elephant's skin, accurately inserted into the elephant's heart, and killed him with one blow. The elephant groaned helplessly and slowly fell, its fat body overpowering a large patch of tender green corn. The elephant was clearly not dead, still moaning unwillingly as it lay on the ground, alerting his companions with sound waves that could only be heard by his own kind. Liu Xuan's position was exposed like this!
The sight of the elephant's blood spilling from his body angered all his companions. "Oh woo~" The elephants in front raised their noses, opened their mouths and screamed, and rushed up first, and the elephants behind rushed forward, and they were bound to trample the enemy into flesh.
The earth is shaking, the elephants are roaring, and only one heart is always at rest, and that is Liu Xuan's heart! His sword followed his heart, moving slightly, but the sword body did not have a trace of vibration. The way of the sword is lightness. Once the heart of the person who uses the sword is as pure as water, he can exert the true power of the sword, and everything in the world is more flexible and soft than water. Water is impermanent, agile to the extreme, you can do whatever you want, water is impermanent, the soft end, there is no sword in the heart!
The galloping elephant is like a huge wave caused by a tsunami, and Liu Xuan is a spirit snake that breaks into the elephant and swims back and forth freely. The sword in his hand is a snake letter, and every time he swallows, he will take the life of an elephant.
One sword, two swords, three swords...... Seventeen swords were swung and seventeen elephants fell.
The cultivator was absolutely one-sided against an ordinary elephant! On the ground, there were broken body parts of the elephant. Some were cut into two pieces from the middle, some were separated from each other, and some were pierced through the heart by a sword, but no matter what kind of death they were, they all had a common feature, and they only received one sword.
A sword cuts the love thread, that's what it means. If you make a second sword, it means that you are not decisive enough.
Liu Xuan was ruthless, and his moves were as fast as lightning, but there was still an elephant that ran away, and it was a baby elephant. As soon as it saw that the situation was not right, it ran away. After all, it was a small one, and the other elephants warned him not to go up.
Liu Xuan watched the baby elephant run into the woods, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "I hope you live well and don't hate me." Lifting the sword into the sheath, Liu Xuan took a big step and walked towards the Immortal Peak. As the sun set, the afterglow sprinkled on Liu Xuan, pulling out a long black shadow behind him, looking extremely indifferent.
