Seventy-eight, the second temple
"Zhang Longqian, don't forget your state of mind at the moment, you must keep your 'heart'. As long as your heart has not changed, then you will always be you. ”
King Yama's words seemed to be a bit clueless, but it was extremely similar to what Bai Qi said when he handed over the Sword of Guarding the Heart, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and couldn't understand it for a while, but he still saluted King Yama seriously.
"Dragons are taught."
Nodding slightly, King Yama didn't say much, but said indifferently, "Your test has passed." ”
Although he had already guessed this result from King Yama's attitude, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but ask, "I take the liberty of asking, ...... What exactly do you want to test the dragon dive? ”
Smiling slightly, King Yama stroked his long beard and asked rhetorically, "Do you think that this king is testing your ability?" ”
Not surprised, Zhang Longqian just replied with a smile: "Of course you won't test such superficial things. How many catties and taels does the dragon dive have, I'm afraid you have already seen it thoroughly when you first met, right? ”
Hearing this, King Yama couldn't help laughing: "Little girl, since you think so clearly, then from what you see, what is this king testing you?" ”
Seeing that King Yama seemed to be smiling on his face, but his eyes were calm, Zhang Long was sure of a few points in his heart, she smiled calmly, and replied, "Don't test anything." From the very beginning, you decided to let the dragon dive stay. ”
King Yama pursed his lips and chuckled, but shook his head slightly: "Little girl, you are really smart, but ...... You're only half right. ”
"I don't know which half?"
"Wu Anjun once mentioned you to this king, so when he saw you. The king has indeed decided to let you stay. But, after all, it's the first time I've seen you, and I don't know a lot about you. Such a hasty decision would indeed be contrary to the duty of the king. ”
Hearing such an answer, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but be curious: "In this way, you really want to test, but ...... Forgive the dragon for being stupid, the dragon for ...... I really don't realize what you're testing. ”
"Didn't the king already make it clear?" Raising his finger and pointing at Zhang Longqian's heart, the smile on King Yama's face narrowed slightly. He said in a deep voice, "It's your 'heart'. ”
Zhang Longqian was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked down at his heart. Seeing that King Yama's hand was taken back again, she thought about it for a moment and quickly understood.
The so-called "underworld" is to house the souls of the dead. A place to guide the souls of the dead. It's not just the souls of humanity among them. Just as the souls of those ancient monsters will also come to the underworld, all the creatures in the yang world will reach the underworld after death. Therefore, in the underworld, there is no such thing as "the highest status of human beings". As King Yama said before, in the underworld, except for the guilty souls, all the dead souls are treated equally. No one is noble, and no one is born inferior.
Case. Why did King Yama say such a word as "beast" before?
Undoubtedly, he was asking Zhang Longqian's "heart".
Will King Yama not mention "defeating the Yin Beast", or "killing the Yin Beast", or other clear requirements, in fact, isn't it just to see Zhang Longqian's choice?
The so-called "test" is "asking the heart".
Treat all living beings equally, will not kill innocents indiscriminately, and be firm in their own thoughts, only in this way can they stay in the hell that tests their hearts everywhere.
And the king of Yama, in fact, still believes in Bai Qi's vision and believes that Zhang Longqian, who is holding the sword guarding the heart, will definitely pass it, so he will give her this test, so as to persuade the others in the underworld to give her a chance to enter hell, and entrust the black dragon to her.
He, sure enough, is still the same Bao Zheng.
Fair and honest, but affectionate and righteous, when encountering injustice, it is still as evil as hatred, even if it is an oracle, he dares to fight.
His heart trembled, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but sigh, and gave a sincere salute: "Thank you Lord Bao for trusting Longqian." ”
This time, King Yama did not refuse this title, he just nodded slightly and accepted Zhang Longqian's salute. After a moment's silence, he asked, "Have you ever wondered what level of hell you want to go to?" ”
Zhang Longqian shook his head and said, "This ...... I really haven't figured it out yet. I've heard that time passes at a very different speed in different hells, and I just want to go to a place full of dangers, where I can keep pushing myself and at the same time give me enough time to practice. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "I don't know if it's hell?" ”
King Yama shook his head slightly: "It's not proper." Ah Bi Hell is the last layer, although time passes the slowest there, but the horror there is also unbearable, only a determined person like Wu Anjun who has experienced too much life and death can maintain the appearance before entering Ah Bi, and the rest have long lost their minds. What's more, it's a pure penal prison, and you won't get the effect of cultivation there. ”
Hearing what King Yama said, Zhang Longqian realized that he had thought of Ah Bi Hell too simply, so he said honestly: "I really don't know what else hell can let me go into, you ...... Can you give me some pointers? ”
"How long do you want to stay?"
"I only have about half a month in the yang world, so I want to stay and practice for as long as possible."
Hearing Zhang Longqian's firm but eager tone, King Yama thought for a moment, and then said, "Go to the second hall." ”
"Second Temple?" Recalling the ancient books he had read before, Zhang Longqian said again: "I do remember that among the ten halls of the underworld, the first and tenth halls have no hell, according to your meaning, isn't it just for me to go to the first layer of hell?" This ......"
Anyone should know that the lower the hell goes, the more serious the sins committed by the yin spirits inside, and the more dangerous and terrifying the environment there is, compared to this, this first hell is of course the safest and mildest place.
Looking at King Yama, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but look embarrassed.
However, the king of Yama said: "If you want to practice, you can only go to the second hall, besides, with your strength, it is already barely in the second hall, if you enter the third hall, you will definitely be destroyed in the flesh and lose your sanity." ”
Hearing that King Yama had said this, Zhang Longqian was not a person who didn't know the height of the sky after all, so he nodded willingly.
Seeing that Zhang Longqian agreed, King Yama waved his robe sleeves lightly, and a cloud immediately rose under his feet, and said, "Come here, this king will take you over, otherwise you won't be able to reach the second hall." ”
Zhang Longqian thanked her again, and then carefully stepped on the clouds and mist that extended to her feet, and the feeling of stepping on it was like stepping on thick cotton, soft, but just able to stand firmly, she was surprised, and she didn't see any movement from the king of Yama, and the clouds and mist carried the two of them into the air, and flew quickly towards the left side of Youdu Mountain.
