Chapter 269: The Legendary Ten Palaces of Hades
The green lantern does not follow a straight line, sometimes over the mountain, sometimes through the canyon back and forth.
The road it leads seems to be a detour that deliberately teases a few people, and even sometimes, it is capricious and capricious.
But even so, the seven of them followed the green lantern and continued to move forward, because, in the cage array, the straight-line distance in your eyes is not necessarily a straight line.
On the contrary, what you think of as a tortuous road is not a real detour.
Finally, after an hour of travel, the road ahead suddenly cleared up, and they had walked out of the cage.
After taking everyone out of the cage, the green lantern stopped flying.
It's just that in this dim and boundless space, where should they go next?
The power of Gu Chen's soul surged again, and he went to the depths, but there was only darkness in the darkness.
The Tongtian Sword Lord wondered, "Perhaps, as long as we move all the way in one direction, what will we find?"
These words seem to be mentally retarded, but they are the only choice for several people at the moment.
The seven of them went in one direction at the same time, and in this darkness, they did not dare to disperse.
But this was only a small space after all, and a few people didn't walk long before they saw a group of people.
Those people stood motionless, standing in place, lined up, all of them fierce and vicious, and their mouths showed their fangs, which made people see their hearts.
Several people were frightened, and they all took precautions, but Gu Chen didn't care!
Through the dim vision, when you look closely, it is not a real person, let alone a powerful ghost.
That's just statues.
Several people carefully counted the statues, and there were ten statues in total.
The body of the stars, Ye Xingyun, said: "Looking at their fierce and vicious appearances, I'm afraid that they are not human cultivators, right?"
Hearing this, the Tongtian Sword Lord was not happy, and said, "Boy, you said that they are not a human race, could it be my demon race." Among my demon clan, there will definitely be no such monsters with sharp mouths and fangs. ”
"Amitabha. Daozang said: "The body of the stars, the sword master of the sky, don't quarrel first, in fact, they are not only not human races, but also demon races, they are the ten powerful ghost kings in hell in the past." ”
Everyone looked at Daozang, only Gu Chen looked at the ten statues.
Daozang continued: "It is recorded in the Buddhist scriptures that in the Boundless Black Prison, there are ten kings of hell, and they rule the eighteen realms of hell, if I guess correctly, there are ten of them. ”
Gu Chen also withdrew his gaze from those statues and said, "They are the legendary Ten Hall Yama Kings!
The Ten Hell Hell Lords are not only in the Tianyu World, but even in the Smoke and Rain World, there are legends!
It's all different.
Some say that Hades is in charge of the heavens, monks, and the life and death of living beings, some say that Hades is in charge of reincarnation, and some say that the Ten Halls Hades are actually just one person......
Gu Chen looked at Daozang, waiting for an answer.
Daozang nodded and said, "That's right, the Ten Halls of Hell in the world are indeed them. But I have had an adventure in the ruins of the ancient Buddha country in the West, that is, I obtained the relics of the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp, among which there is a record left by the King Bodhisattva of the Earth, in the era near the end of the primeval period, the Emperor of the Soul Heaven died in battle, in order to stabilize the hell from chaos, the distracted King Bodhisattva of the Earth used the supreme Dharma to promote ten ghost emperors in the hell, and suppressed the ten directions of hell respectively. ”
Gu Chen said: "In this case, the king of Hades in hell also appeared in the later era? At that time, I am afraid that it will not be long before the great destruction of the gods, ghosts, and Buddhas, right?" 17
Daozang nodded! "Actually, what happened in that era is now impossible to investigate, because since that great destruction, there has been no real immortal god, ghost, or Buddha in the whole world." ”
Legend has it that in the primeval era, there was a heavenly court, and above the heavenly court, they were all sealed immortal and immortal gods!
There is also the Bliss Buddha Realm in the West, and those Buddhist Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas with boundless Buddhism are all far above the gods of the Eastern Heavenly Court!
Until later, the fairy world became hell!
In hell, countless devils were born.
Vaguely, the devil has become a third party.
However, due to the evil of death cultivation, devouring the souls of living people or cultivators, and the rapid progress of cultivation, the gods and Buddhas were furious, and a war of gods and demons began.
Eventually, the hell of death was completely suppressed, and there was a legend that the king of Jizo Bodhisattva guarded the hell and transcended the unjust souls.
But with the suppression of hell, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens ushered in extinction, and at the same time, countless ghosts of hell were extinct!
It can also be said that the gods, ghosts, and Buddhas have experienced a mass extinction!
The decline of contemporary Buddhism has merged with cultivators, and contemporary cultivators are not the same as the cultivators of the primeval era, and the death cultivation is even more different, and Gu Chen has been proved from the ghost path of the four ghost king-level souls.
He asked, "Daozang, the essence of the cultivation of gods, Buddhas, and ghosts in the primeval and contemporary times has changed. When I felt the power of the stars, I already realized that our current cultivation system had long been out of the primeval realm, could it be that this was the reason why we were not immortal?"
Daozang shook his head and said, "I don't understand this either, but I know that in the primeval era, the cultivators of the heavens were mainly cultivating the true and cultivating immortals, which was a cultivation method that could obtain immortality, but after the extinction of gods, ghosts, and Buddhas, there was no such thing as immortality." ”
Jian Madness said: "Contemporary cultivators, if you want to go beyond the limit, you are to achieve the Dao Realm, the lifespan of the Dao Realm is three or five hundred years, which is already several times that of mortals, and the lifespan of the saint is a thousand years, and the saint can have twice the lifespan of the saint, and the life span of the legendary Emperor is only more than five thousand years, although the Emperor can fight with the Emperor, but his lifespan is equivalent to that of a saint at most, this is the life of a cultivator of my human race, but there are exceptions to everything, such as the Taixuan Divine Clan, it is the life of an ordinary cultivator in two lifetimes! Also, among the demon clans, races like the Taixuan God Clan also abound! But this is only on the surface, and the ancient era is a variable since the ancient times, in that era, there are too many strong people who have survived to the present day, is it related to the path of Cangyu? Or have they reached the unknown realm of us?"
The words of the sword maniac are indeed the doubts of contemporary cultivators.
The old banyan tree also said: "My Wanmu District clan is considered a long-lived race in the demon clan, even if you become a sage, at most it will only be more than two thousand years old, the reason why people like me can live from the post-ancient era to the present is because I have been a thousand-year-old tree, and I have really opened my spiritual wisdom, and it is only five thousand years, but in these five thousand years, I have been continuing in the way of turning trees into sleep, and I have really lived for more than two thousand years." In line with the longevity of contemporary cultivators. ”
Gu Chen didn't speak, because only he could understand the short life of the peerless demon body! Even if he became a demon emperor, there was no one to continue his life, or there was no elixir to live a lifetime, he would eventually be squeezed out by the demon body.
But his soul power is different, and his death cultivation is already a ghost general, if the demon body squeezes the soul power to cultivate, isn't it, he can get rid of the possibility of the demon body's short life?
It's just that at this moment, these are not what he cares about the most, he only seeks the peak of martial arts, to resist the future Cangyu calamity, die, Dao initiate, and get rid of the fate of hell ghosts.
Because, there are still his relatives in the world!
The world of death, and his brothers and friends!
Daozang said: "What the old banyan tree said is extremely true! Contemporary longevity is indeed insurmountable, but there is a longevity elixir that can live one more life, but it is only one more life, the real sense of immortality, or living for a long time, since ancient times, only the characters of the five emperors of antiquity can do it!"
As soon as Daozang said this, the six people looked at him!
Jian said wildly: "Master Daozang, you mean...... The Five Emperors have already been immortalized?"
Daozang pondered and did not answer.
After a long time, he nodded and said, "I think, it should be close to immortality?"
Gu Chen was most concerned about cultivation, and asked anxiously: "Master Daozang, the longevity of a cultivator has been proportional to cultivation since ancient times, and the ancient powerhouses who are contemporaries of the Five Emperors have survived to this day, what realm has their cultivation reached at this moment." ”
Daozang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the Five Emperors have already surpassed the Great Emperor, this is well known, and as for the rank above the Great Emperor, no one has divided it yet, so I am afraid that even they themselves are not clear about their realm." ”
