Chapter 115: A Thousand Years Ago
Although there is some speculation about Luo Xiaoyan's situation, the reason why Luo Xiaoyan will become what she is now, the two of them still don't know. Moreover, looking at the appearance of King Jizo, it is estimated that he will not tell the story of this incident.
However, the two of them didn't know that even the King of Jizo didn't know the whole story of this matter.
However, Gu Qi's gaze wandered between King Jizo and Linlang for a while, but he didn't understand what was said between the two. The soul in the arms of King Jizo now obviously belongs to Luo Xiaoyan, but whether it is King Jizo or Linlang, they are not talking about Luo Xiaoyan, but another person he doesn't know.
"What are you talking about...... Ning Yi" Gu Qi said suspiciously, but his eyes were on Luo Xiaoyan, who was being held by the King of Jizo. After confirming whether this person was really Luo Xiaoyan's consent, he couldn't help but guess the relationship between Luo Xiaoyan and Ning Yi.
"Luo Xiaoyan is the reincarnation of Ning Yi, so it can also be said that Luo Xiaoyan is Ning Yi." Linlang turned her head and explained to Gu Qi.
"It was a thousand years ago, and now you should know something." King Jizo looked at Gu Qi with a complicated expression.
Gu Qi subconsciously took a step back, although the King of Jizo did not have any ill will towards him. However, King Jizo's expression made Gu Qi feel uneasy, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid what King Jizo was going to say next. However, in the current situation, Gu Qi is not easy to retreat, and he also wants to know about these things about Luo Xiaoyan. I just don't know if something will involve him.
Although the King of Jizo saw Gu Qi's actions, he didn't make any response, as if he hadn't noticed this side at all. After saying these words to Gu Qi, King Jizo's gaze moved to Linlang on the side.
"A thousand years ago, you jumped into the Lethe River full of anger, if it weren't for condensation, you would have stayed here to live." Looking at Linlang, King Jizo slowly spoke, "Now that a thousand years have passed, although the anger on your body has receded, but now your body is contaminated with the breath of evil spirits. You have devoured the souls of other souls here in order to solidify your own souls, and this act is no different from the evil spirits in the Lethe River. ”
"My kindness has been repaid, and I will stay in the Lethe River after that and let you be saved." As soon as King Jizo's words fell, Linlang immediately answered.
In response to Linlang's remarks about these executions, King Jizo nodded with satisfaction. However, when his eyes came into contact with Luo Xiaoyan's soul body, King Jizo's expression changed.
"After that, you stay in the Lethe River and help Diting manage the evil spirits in the Lethe River. You don't have anger in you, and you don't need me to temper you. King Jizo spoke again, but Linlang's arrangement was not a punishment.
Regarding the arrangement of the King of Jizo, Linlang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words. After reacting, Linlang couldn't help but smile and nodded at King Jizo.
Seeing this, King Jizo was a little relieved, and also nodded at Linlang.
"You stay here, I'll tell you what you need to do, and I'll tell you." King Jizo said, and once again shifted his gaze to Gu Qi on the side, "You come with me." ”
Gu Qi glanced at Linlang, although there was some hesitation in his eyes, Linlang nodded at him. As the King of Jizo gradually walked away with Luo Xiaoyan's soul in his arms, Gu Qi didn't have any hesitation and immediately followed.
King Jizo didn't talk to Gu Qi about a thousand years ago here, and left Linlang here before leaving with Gu Qi. As for Linlang's arrangement to assist Di Ting, maybe the King of Jizo really had this idea, or maybe this was also the way the King of Jizo kept Linlang here.
With Luo Xiaoyan's soul, although the King of Jizo was heading towards the surface of the Lechuan River, it was not the surface of the river where Gu Qi and the others stayed before, but in the deepest part of the Lechuan River, where the evil spirits did not even dare to approach.
Looking at the lotus seat that appeared in front of him, King Jizo did not stand up, but put Luo Xiaoyan, who had been holding him, up, and he was still in the river. Although Luo Xiaoyan's soul is broken now, it is also a divine soul after all, and it will not be scattered because of the current situation.
After King Jizo placed Luo Xiaoyan's soul on the lotus seat, his eyes did not linger too much on Luo Xiaoyan's body, so he turned his head and looked at Gu Qi, who had been following him.
"Luo Xiaoyan's soul, a thousand years ago, was named Ning Yi, and he was a god in the heavenly realm." Before Gu Qi could react, King Jizo seemed to be afraid that he would lose time, so he didn't even give Gu Qi a little time to react, and immediately said out loud.
――Dividing Line――
A thousand years ago, the old Hades were still there, no, it should have been called Hades at that time, after all, the Eastern and Western Hell had not yet merged. And the underworld, at that time, was also called the underworld. There is peace and tranquility in the underworld, because the population is not large, and there is no shortage of manpower in the underworld, everything seems to be in order.
At that time, the Nai He Bridge was also huge, but on the Nai He Bridge, it was empty all day long, and few souls were brought to the Nai He Bridge. In the underworld, the ghosts who are active are also bull-headed and horse-faced, black and white impermanent, but they are not like now, they are all dressed as black-robed grim reapers.
However, the affairs of the underworld have been arranged, and Hades does not have much to worry about, and he is always very leisurely. Although the Hell of China and the West at that time did not merge, Satan was not the Satan of today. When Hades has nothing to do, he always goes to the Western Hell, or to the Heavenly Realm, to find someone to play chess to pass the time. After coming and going, the relationship between the underworld and the western hell is inexplicably harmonious, even the heavenly realm is extremely kind to the underworld, and the gods of the heavenly realm will also send envoys to visit the king of Hades from time to time.
Time is in such harmony, and it gradually passes. Until one day, the soul of the underworld suddenly increased, and the originally leisurely ghost became busy. There is a war in the world, such a thing, every hundred years, it always happens once or twice, except for some new ghosts who can't adapt to it, the old ghosts can handle it easily.
It's just that many souls of those who died in the war feel that they died unjustly, and they have a lot of resentment. Souls like this usually make some trouble. In addition, once a battle occurs, the most casualties are always soldiers, and most of them are on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, casualties can break thousands in an instant, and ghosts can collect souls on the battlefield, and there will always be a time when it is too late. At these times, some souls will take the opportunity to escape, but due to the restriction of souls leaving the body, such cases are always rare.
Because of the war, the underworld is inevitably understaffed, after all, even if the souls are captured in the underworld, there are many rebels. There are many ghosts in the world, and people are inseparable from the underworld. At that time, the hall masters of the Ten Palaces, who were almost always invisible on weekdays, also appeared one after another, assisting in the affairs of the underworld, and even going to the human world to collect souls in person was also a common thing.
At this time, Hades' usual friendship also played a role, and first the gods of the heavenly realm sent people to help. It's just that although the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly Realm are strong, they will not collect their souls. In the end, all the ghosts of the underworld were sent to the underworld to be responsible for collecting souls in the human world, while the heavenly soldiers and generals helped to guard the order in the underworld.
However, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are in the Heavenly Realm on weekdays, and it is inevitable that there will be a sense of superiority in the underworld. At the beginning, these heavenly soldiers and generals seemed to be so unconcerned that except for the orders of the king of Hades, they didn't care about what other people, even the people sent by the king of Hades. Although it is true that these heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals have helped, it has also caused new problems in the underworld at that time. For example, these heavenly generals don't understand the underworld, and if they don't agree with each other, they can throw the soul of resistance into the Lethe River. Indirectly, the king of Jizo also became busy at that time, after all, being thrown into the Lechuan River like this will inevitably lead to unwillingness, so it is easy to be angry.
Not long after the arrival of the Heavenly Soldiers, Hades realized that this matter could not go on like this. For this reason, the king of Hades also personally went to the heavenly realm to meet the gods of the heavenly realm, inform him of this matter, and ask the gods to take back these heavenly soldiers and generals. Many gods felt sorry and withdrew the heavenly soldiers and generals they had sent. But there are also gods, who still left the heavenly soldiers and generals among them, and reprimanded these heavenly soldiers and generals.
did something for the underworld and maintained the order of the underworld, but what he got was a reprimand, and these reprimanded heavenly soldiers and generals would inevitably be dissatisfied. Since then, things in the underworld have become even more chaotic, and many things are the revenge of these heavenly soldiers. At this time, Western Hell also sent people to the underworld, and the two sides met each other, but they were like enemies, and they didn't deal with each other. Although it didn't start a direct fight, because of this disagreement, it made the underworld even more chaotic.
Not long has passed, and the chaos of the underworld has completely disappeared the original peaceful atmosphere. However, these people who were sent to help, no matter how dissatisfied the king of Hades was, he could not reprimand. After all, it's not his own subordinates, and if he reprimands him again, I'm afraid that the underworld will really be in complete chaos.
As this situation progressed day by day, more and more souls piled up in the underworld, until the bridge was filled with half of the souls, and the judgment or reincarnation had to be carried out in line. The longer the wait, the more serious the confusion between the souls.
Until one day, in the heavenly realm, suddenly a god came to the underworld. At that time, there were several gods who appeared in the underworld, and among them, there was Ningyi. These gods all said that the heavenly soldiers and generals stayed in the underworld to help, and after the previous reprimand, they felt that it was inappropriate, so they came to inspect again.
The arrival of the gods made the heavenly soldiers and generals who were originally in the underworld and only recklessly act reined in. Even the Grim Reaper of Western Hell has some scruples about the power revealed by these gods. With the arrival of these gods, the long-lost harmony finally appeared in the underworld, and compared to the previous chaos, things finally became more orderly.
For these souls, the breath of the gods can also make them feel calm. Such stability can also greatly reduce their panic and resistance to rebirth.
Seeing this, Hades, who felt anxious about this, finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, after the great joy, Hades couldn't help but think about how to keep these gods. Hades, who had always gone to the Heavenly Realm before, knew that even if these gods were in the Heavenly Realm, there was nothing going on, and life was as leisurely as before. Sometimes, these gods are just a game of chess, and they can play for years, or even decades.
Hades personally greeted several gods, and his attitude was extremely warm. Such enthusiasm couldn't help but make several gods feel suspicious. After all, they usually see a lot of Hades, and they all know very well what Hades looks like on weekdays.
"Hades, what's wrong? Suddenly so enthusiastic, you are like this, but it makes us feel uneasy, are you trying to calculate something about us? Seeing Hades like this, one of the several gods couldn't help but speak, but it was in a joking tone.
Jokes like this are often said between them, and no one felt anything wrong, so they laughed together when they heard it. Ning Yi was in it, although there was a smile in his eyes, but his eyes had always fallen on the body of Hades.
In this regard, the king of Hades also laughed, and did not hide too much, so he told the truth, and directly expressed his intention to keep a few people in the underworld.
"It's not bad for you to live in the underworld, and it's not bad to stay and live, but unfortunately, I made an appointment with Taishang Laojun the day before yesterday, and after he finished refining a furnace of pills tomorrow, we will play chess together." The god who had been joking before shook his head with a smile and politely rejected Hades' request.
"The queen mother just said yesterday that the peaches in the peach orchard are about to ripen, let me go and see them tomorrow." The Nine Heavens Xuannu also smiled apologetically at Hades.
After the Nine Heavens Xuannu, among the several gods who came together, except for Ning Yi, who didn't make a sound, everyone else said something to refuse. Some of these people are true, but some of them are just excuses for not wanting to stay in the underworld.
"So that after you have come here, you will all go back? What should I do in this underworld? Hades looked at the gods, but there was an extremely distressed look on his face. (To be continued.) )
