Chapter 652: Old Things in the Underworld
In the direction of the left side of the clear water platform, on the raised position of the stone wall, a tree tree sticks out, and the soul of the clock stands on the branch at this time, and the graceful posture dances with the autumn wind.
Zhong Kui glanced up, and only replied: "Oh, my sister has found her body, I haven't seen her for many years, and I miss it very much." ”
Zhong Li's soul has long lost that coldness and pride, and now he is showing twelve points of gentleness, Li Shaoyang has never seen this demon fox so coquettish, it seems that the power of the demon fox's charm has been exerted to the extreme, but unfortunately Zhong Kui turned a blind eye to this, and after stomping his foot lightly, and shattering a wooden pillar of Qingshuitai, he swaggered out.
"Big Brother ......" Zhong Li's soul stomped his feet, and his body flew up, desperately chasing after him.
Li Shaoyang looked strange, this situation seemed to be Zhong Kui's reluctance to meet this righteous sister, but Zhong Li's soul was chasing after him, what is the story here.
He didn't have time to think about this now, Zhong Kui's kick just now broke the last load-bearing column, and the wooden pillar dozens of meters high under the Qingshui platform could no longer support the weight of the building, and was about to begin to collapse.
Li Shaoyang stepped on the cliff stone on the clear water platform, climbed to the top of Mt. Otowa, after this peak, the eight-foot tower stands proudly, the wooden tower is three stories high, and there is a erected "edge wood" on the top floor, the overall shape is very similar to the Temple of Heaven in Huaguo, but there is a conspicuous red halo in the middle of the tower body, if you look carefully, even if it is broad daylight, you can see it clearly.
Li Shaoyang knew that it was because of the energy reaction generated by the gathering of demonic power, and the gathering of this energy was probably due to the fact that there were too many monsters gathered in the second-layer tower. At this time, he also felt Zhong Kui's breath, and he was in the second-story tower.
A loud bang came from behind, and Shimizudai finally collapsed, and after the collapse of the wooden structure, a large amount of debris would be generated, and there was a large slope down from Mt. Otowaba, and when I saw the broken wood of Shimizudai rolling down like a mudslide, a bright flame suddenly appeared, and this flame was as thin as a river at first, but in an instant it was like a sea, rolling up all the pieces of wood, and turning into ashes in mid-air. What's even more surprising is that the flame didn't produce much temperature, just like light and shadow, and quickly disappeared.
This flame suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly, it didn't look like anything, but people with a little bit of cultivation could perceive the change in the spiritual power in the air just now, if the demonic power was also a kind of spiritual power, then when this flame appeared, the entire demonic power was evacuated, and when the flame disappeared, these demonic powers were sent back, and they were obviously thicker than just now.
Li Shaoyang couldn't understand this change in power, because there was only one possibility: there was a powerful master who absorbed the power of the flame just now, and then transformed it into demon power, which is in line with the law of conservation of energy, but to make this kind of energy conversion, how high should this person's cultivation be? It's unimaginable.
Between the three-story tower, there were many people who stuck out their heads and looked at the bottom of the mountain shouting, and more people began to discuss the change of demonic power just now, and those who could enter this two-story tower were all abnormal people, and they were also the core characters in the alliance of shrines, temples and dojos.
Li Shaoyang walked quickly into the tower and went directly to the second floor.
Pushing open the door on the second floor, there were at least hundreds of people sitting and standing here, and the space was quite spacious, the ground was covered with carpets, and the benches were spread out, with snacks and tea on them, Li Shaoyang saw Zhong Kui standing at the window on the right, and Zhong Li's soul was standing next to him.
Li Shaoyang hurriedly walked over, his current identity, naturally he had to meet Zhong Lisoul first. But what he was most worried about was that Zhong Kui said his disguise, after all, he was still playing the role of Liudao Temple, and Zhong Kui knew that he had the Dizang Yuan Dan in his body. As long as he said that to Zhong Lisoul, Zhong Lisoul would definitely be able to guess his identity.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Zhong Kui nodded slightly to him, and then said to Zhong Li's soul: "Since I don't want to meet you, you just continue to do your own thing, don't come to me again." ”
Zhong Li's voice was heavy: "Big brother...... No, Judge Zhong, the Underworld Protoss is now in tatters, and there is no end in sight to open the door of the Underworld, you are the most powerful judge, why don't you help the little sister? ”
Zhong Kui said, "You want to gather all eighteen fragments and reassemble the Styx Stone?" That's a big deal. ”
Zhong Li Soul immediately said: "This operation has been carried out very successfully, we have found a lot of fragments......
Zhong Kui waved his sleeves and said: "For so many years, with the ten halls of the Yama King and the gods dormant, the underworld has been in disorderly chaos, if you open the door of the underworld so rashly, wouldn't those ghosts and monsters who were patrolling the door be released in one go, for the human world, this is simply a disaster of destruction." ”
Zhong Lisoul lowered his head and smiled: "It's nothing. ”
Zhong Kui shook his head: "You know my temper, you should also know my choice, I am on the side of the human world." ”
Zhong Li Soul then chuckled, "We Protoss don't want to destroy the human race, then there won't be enough shells, let alone slaves to serve us." ”
When their brother and sister were talking, an invisible enchantment had already been arranged around them, except for Li Shaoyang, the people around him could not hear it, this enchantment should be set up by Zhong Kui, formless and shadowless, but it can isolate all the energy overflow, even the demon power seems to be isolated inside, and the demonic energy outside is quickly inhaled, so in this enchantment is not only hidden, but also has sufficient demonic power.
But Zhong Kui and Zhong Lisoul didn't talk about speculation, and at this time Zhong Lisoul had begun to reprimand Zhong Kui for giving up the affairs of the underworld for a mortal woman, which led to the departure of the last person who could control the situation in the underworld 1,500 years ago, and it was forced to close.
From Zhong Li's words, Li Shaoyang learned the truth about the closure of the underworld and the shattering of the Styx Stone.
It turned out that when the gods entered the Kunlun realm to sleep, the independent space of the underworld was still in operation, and it was Zhong Kui, the judge of the Three Realms, who was in charge, and it was said that his strength even surpassed that of the Ten Halls of Yama, which was comparable to the Dongyue Hades God, so as long as Zhong Kui was there, the Styx Temple of the Difu would be stable, and all the ghosts would desperately accumulate merit and exchange merit for things from the Styx Temple.
It is precisely because of the enclosed space of the underworld that it can be self-sufficient through the temple, so no matter what happens outside, the underworld is still thriving. It's a pity that this prosperity didn't last long, but Zhong Kui, who temporarily acted as the king of Hades, quietly left, and took Yang Guifei to escape to the east, silently sealing it for more than a thousand years.
With Zhong Kui leaving, the underworld began to be chaotic, no one could suppress those ghosts, and the last world war that swept the entire underworld began. According to the time of the human world, the war was fought continuously for a hundred years.
At that time, in order to replenish the ghosts of the underworld, the warlords in the underworld openly went to the human world to cause chaos, and the number of deaths in the human world increased greatly. At that time, it was the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the population of China lost from 50 million in the Tang Wuzong period to 12 million in the Later Zhou Dynasty, with a loss of more than 30 million people. I can't describe that dark time.
The hundred-year war of the underworld led to the closure of the gate of the underworld, and the Styx Stone was reduced to pieces in the chaotic war and fell into the human world, and judges such as Zhong Li Soul and mid-level ghosts such as Black and White Impermanence were forced to sleep.
Li Shaoyang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, he didn't expect that the dark history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was actually related to the Hundred Years War in the Difu, but speaking of which, in the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in less than 80 years, there were 58 Yellow Emperors, and 42 emperors died before and after. I can't describe it.
At this time, he heard Zhong Li's soul say sharply: "Big brother, you keep thinking about the human world, if you didn't leave suddenly, how could the Great Heavenly Demon escape from the underworld, he went to the human world to possess Huang Chao, it was simply a slaughter of the world, just a big heavenly demon, and almost destroyed your so-called human world." ”
Li Shaoyang almost exclaimed, the big demon king who eats people in Huangchao is really ...... It turned out to be an escape from the underworld. History says that the place where Huangchao passed, the people were pure, and the land was thousands of miles away. And the "Old Tang Book" even records: Huang Chao led the whole army to besiege Chenzhou for nearly a year, 3,000 giant pills, and started construction at the same time, becoming a human meat workshop for supplying military rations, flowing water operations, day and night. A large number of villagers and captives, regardless of men and women, young and old, are all included in the giant smash, which is instantly ground into minced meat, and called it "Pounding Village". The common people around Chenzhou were eaten up, so they "plundered in all directions, from Henan, Xu, Ru, Tang, Deng, Meng, Zheng, Bian, Cao, Xu, Yan and other dozens of prefectures, salty and poisoned." ”
Such a guy, Zhong Kui listened, his face was blood-red: "Great Heavenly Demon!" Before I left, I reminded Cui Fujun why, the Great Heavenly Demon can escape. ”
Zhong Li's soul sighed: "Cui Fujun has unparalleled strategy, but his force is insufficient, he can't control the situation in the underworld, and in the end he can only beg the Jizo Bodhisattva to take action, and the Jizo King has to practice again every reincarnation, so his strength is not enough, so he can only die with the Great Heavenly Demon with his body, which eliminates the crisis of annihilation." ”
When the two of them said this, Zhong Lisoul still wanted to persuade him, but he heard a burst of thunder from outside the enchantment, and with this thunder, the dazzling flames of the Dao Dao turned into flying rainbows and spread in the air, and the carpet made of pure flames extended from the collapsed Qingshui Platform to the tower. A young man stepped proudly from the bridge of flames.
This scene, this pomp, is really big enough.
Zhong Li Soul sighed and said in surprise: "The Soul Conjuring Society said that it sent a messenger to negotiate with me, and it also said that it was a young man, could it be him?" I have never heard of this man. ”
Zhong Kui's face changed: "This breath ...... It's weird, and it feels like a high-level protoss. ”
Stepping into the tower, the fire god Zhu Rong was in a really good mood, so as soon as he entered, he said loudly: "What about the messenger of the Xuanlong Society, come out and die!" ”
