Chapter 43: The Theory of the Heavens of the Ghosts

Li Ji walked in the dark underground secret passage, and couldn't help but have countless questions about this strange and mysterious Jiuli Divine Clan, so he asked the white-haired Hell God Dog Shentu, who had always treated him well, and said, "Brother Shendi, if the top of the sky is the altar for resurrecting the Jiuli Monarch Chiyou, then where is the magic blood pool finally connected?"

"You guessed it right, the magical blood pool at the top of the firmament is connected to the cemetery where Chiyou's skull is buried, and no one knows where it is. It is said that the skull of Chiyou has the infinite dark power of the universe, not only the various branches within the demon clan are-for-tat and full of contradictions, but even some righteous people are trying to pursue the strongest power of the universe for their own selfish desires, perseverance, and forgetting death. Therefore, the Chiyou cemetery has been a forbidden place for thousands of years, and it is regarded as a top secret in the Jiuli God Clan, except for the direct descendants of Chiyou, it is difficult for outsiders to find. ”

As he walked ahead, he said that since the destruction of the Dome Altar, the Dragon's Heart had been taken by Li Ji, and the magical defensive shield covering the entire black forest had been unraveled.

The thousand-year-old confinement of the magic curse on the Hellhounds has finally been lifted, their mana is slowly recovering, and what the gods are saying now can be heard by mortals.

In this regard, Zhou Babao was the first to be taken aback: "You can actually speak human words?"

Yu Lei, the black-haired hell god dog who walked at the forefront, was a little angry, and rebuked angrily: "Dead fat man, when did we say that we can't speak human words?" We have been suppressed by evil magic such as the thousand-year-old blood sacrifice for more than a thousand years, and now that it has been lifted, we can turn into a human form after the spiritual power is restored, and I will show you my ability later!"

Zhou Babao didn't believe his ears a little, and asked in surprise: "My good man! You can still change into human form?"

Yu Lei snorted disdainfully from his nose, still with anger on his face, he turned his head suddenly, with a little imperceptible pride in his tone: "Of course, otherwise how can our brothers be qualified to protect the underworld? Later, in order to drive away ghosts and ward off evil spirits, people painted the images of gods, Yu Lei and tigers on the door, which have been passed down to this day. The painting on the left door is my brother, called Shen Tu, and on the right door is me, hehe, that is the famous Yu Lei, and some people call us the gods of the left and right doors. Dead fat, you know we're great now! hehe......"

"What? ...... Is it the legendary god of the two gates?"

Speaking of the gods, many people may not know, but when it comes to the door god on the folk gate, it is a household name, women and children know it, and the custom of worshiping the door god has been inherited for thousands of years in the Shenzhou continent.

When every household builds a house, changes the door, or when a disaster occurs in the house, a ritual to worship the god of the door is held to pray for the prosperity of the people and the ghosts.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Classic of Overseas" also records: "There are mountains in the East China Sea, and their names are called Dusuo. There is a big peach tree on it, and it is three thousand miles long. There is a gate in the northeast, which is called the ghost gate, and all ghosts gather. The Emperor of Heaven made the gods and men guard it, a god, a Yu Lei, and the Lord read and led all ghosts. If the ghost of harming people is bound with reeds, shot with peach arcs, and thrown into tiger food. ”

The few people present were all shocked, these two terrifying hell god dogs turned out to be the famous left and right door gods - Shen Tu Yu Lei, also known as the Eastern Ghost Emperor, the ancient ghost!

Everyone's hearts were shocked, and they all looked at each other and smiled, and they had greater confidence in escaping from the demon cave of the Jiuli God Clan.

But Zhou Babao obviously didn't want to be suppressed by Yu Lei's momentum, so he sneered at each other: "If you were powerful, you wouldn't have been arrested here, besides, after so long, I haven't seen anyone to save you!"

Zhou Babao's angry words made Yu Lei's face pale, not because what Zhou Babao said was not good, but because these words went to his heart.

remembered that Chi You killed them alone in the underworld, captured them back to the world, and imprisoned them with magic, so that they couldn't survive, couldn't die, and couldn't live in pain. In front of the powerful demons, the two brothers are like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, they have no power to fight back, and some of them are just confused and kill innocents indiscriminately, committing unforgivable sins.

In the dark, he didn't know what Yu Lei's expression was, and after walking for a while, he thought of the situation for thousands of years, not only was he not angry, but he was a little discouraged, so he muttered to himself: "What you said is not wrong, if it wasn't for our inferior skills back then, we wouldn't have fallen to this point." Also, after so many years, no one from the Heavenly Realm or the Underworld has ever asked, is it true that the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of the Underworld have really left the mortal world after that great war of immortals and demons?"

"Do the Heavenly Realm, the Underworld, and the Demon Realm really exist, and what kind of system is this world?" Li Ji suddenly asked a question that seemed to be very funny, but this question bothered many people, and even the latest development achievements of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization could not give the ultimate answer.

It is also a question that people who have just embarked on the path of cultivation are eager to know, is there a supernatural, super-mysterious, and super-magical multidimensional world in this world?

"What do you say?" said Shen Tu Yu Lei suddenly said in unison, and then smiled silently.

Indeed, the question asked by Li Ji is funny and naΓ―ve.

Because the appearance of the Hell God Dog God Tu Yu Lei is the authoritative commentary on the mortal becoming gods, they are the gods who guard the gate that are worshiped by the people to this day.

Although the path to cultivation and attainment of the Tao is different, cultivating immortals to become gods and becoming a Buddha on the ground, everything must follow the laws of heaven and earth.

Shen Di stopped, turned back to Li Ji and said earnestly: "However, the question you asked is a secret that many people have not been able to crack in their lives. I'll tell you a little bit about the history of antiquity, and you'll understand. ”

The tall and thin young man who had always been silent suddenly interjected: "Brother Shendi, such a mystery of heaven and earth, I hope to teach you more!"

Shen Tu smiled and nodded: "Although Shen Tu Yu Lei can't get a glimpse of the avenue, he also has some unpredictable opportunities, the ability to seize heaven and earth, and he can break through the heavens and mysteries for you, and we are also destined." But the world is unpredictable, and there is destiny in the dark, who can completely peek clearly, we are just an outlier between heaven and earth!"

Xinyan held her breath and listened attentively to the movements of the Quartet, and then said slowly: "We have also been walking for a long time, and the chasing soldiers will not be able to find us for a while and a half, why not take this opportunity to rest for a while, recover our strength, and listen to the teachings of Brother Shen Tu by the way, wouldn't it be good!"

Several people nodded abruptly in agreement with Xinyan's proposal, so they all stopped and sat in a circle beside a rock, Zhou Babao had already taken out the night pearl and placed it in the middle, and the dim secret passage suddenly lit up.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I'm just hearsay, those who believe in it have it, and those who don't believe it don't. Our Taoist practice is still shallow, and we can't understand the creation of heaven and earth, and we can't know astronomy and geography, so let's listen to it. Shen Tu paused, cleared his throat, unusually modest, making people feel very comfortable, unlike Yu Lei's loud voice and bad temper, which made people unbearable when he spoke.

"First of all, the heavenly realm, in the Fuxi period, although the heaven and the earth have been separated, but the distance is closer, unlike now the distance between heaven and earth is very far away, at that time there was a ladder of heaven to communicate, this ladder is the mountains and trees in various places. The ladder was originally designed for gods, immortals, and witches, but the demon clan, demons, beasts, lonely souls and wild ghosts in the underworld, and wise warriors in the human world were able to climb the ladder with wisdom and bravery, and reach the heavenly court.

Later, due to the rebellion of the demon clan Chiyou on the earth, he was disrespectful to the gods and disturbed the heavenly court.

To this end, the Emperor of Heaven cut off the passage between heaven and earth, so that heaven and earth are far apart, so as to maintain the order of the universe.

Since then, the boundary between heaven and earth has been extremely clear, and it is difficult for demons, the underworld, and mortals to reach the heavenly realm directly, and the heavenly realm also follows the operating order of the universe itself, and the mortal affairs are basically handled by the human emperor.

Unless the power of the demon beasts is enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, destroy the living beings, and destroy the order of the universe, the heavenly realm will intervene, and the rest will basically ignore it. ”

Xinyan listened to Shendi's words about the heavenly realm, licked her lips, and couldn't help but habitually look up at the top of the pitch-black secret passage, as if looking at the highest place in the sky, where bright stars dotted the sky of the deep and vast void, forming a brilliant sea of stars.

She had already begun to imagine what the legendary Heavenly Realm was like, and why did the cultivators in the world take the Heavenly Realm as their ultimate goal?

This question has been bothering her since she was a child, and every time she asks her elders, she is prevaricated by vague words.

Now she realized that it wasn't that they didn't want to answer, but that they really didn't know how.

Mortals cultivating immortals are all running on the path of cultivation, and the ultimate goal is nothing more than climbing the heavenly realm, but some people have a high level of understanding and go fast, and some people have a low level of understanding and go slowly.

Only by climbing to the top of the mountain will you see the most beautiful scenery. Often, most people linger at the foot of the mountain, hesitating, and some people choose to give up halfway up the mountain. Some people give up because the process is too hard, and some people can't resist the temptation to give up, 20% of them are at the top of the mountain, 80% are at the bottom of the mountain, or halfway up the mountain. Only through hard work, and following one's heart, and constantly persevering, will you reach your destination.

If you ask someone who wanders at the foot of the mountain or only climbs halfway up the mountain, what is the view at the top of the mountain?

Isn't that a ridiculous question?

Immortal cultivators must be sincere people, and sincere people will never talk big words. Therefore, it is only natural that Xinyan cannot get a clear answer from her elders.

Today, with this rare opportunity, Xinyan couldn't help but interject and ask, "Is the entrance to the Heavenly Realm the South Heavenly Gate, how high is it from the ground, can we fly there?"

Zhou Babao didn't know where to look at the ancient books, and made a look of knowing everything, and said exaggeratedly: "Xinyan, I know this, the heavenly realm is the heavenly palace, in fact, it is just a popular saying, it is just another world, the heavenly palace is not necessarily in the sky, but because the first gate to the heavenly palace, that is, the location of the southern heavenly gate is exactly at the top of the firmament, so the immortals have to soar to the sky, in order to fly to the southern heavenly gate, and then through there can come to the world of the heavenly palace!"

Jiang Xin looked at the Hell God Dog Shen Tu suspiciously, and Xinyan asked again: "Brother Shen Tu, what Zhou Babao said is right?"

Shen Tu smiled and nodded: "That's almost the meaning, the heavenly realm is the area where the gods live, people say that the heavens have nine heavens, in fact, the 'nine heavens' just means the number of numbers, which means that the world of the gods is very many, and the truly famous heavenly gods have thirty-six heavens, also known as the thirty-six heavens, which are divided into six days of desire, ** eighteen days, four days of colorless heaven, four Brahma heavens, three clear heavens, and Daluo heaven." ”
