Chapter 35: Spirit Emperor Yang Yun
Bai Ying sighed and said, "Sometimes if a person is completely tired of a life, then he will abandon this life, and even abandon his former self.
The big head is like this, because he hated the identity of the Ghost Emperor, so he and the former Yang Yun also abandoned it and became the current Bai Xiaoyan.
Perhaps in the eyes of many ghosts in the capital, the Ghost Emperor is an unattainable position, but with a big head, he only wants to be an ordinary person, but even such a simple wish, he has spent thousands of years unable to achieve it.
According to the old man's words, this is the destiny of heaven, not something that can be decided by one person or a ghost.
Since her wife was imprisoned in the eighteenth layer of hell, the big head hasn't been to the underworld for eight hundred years, do you know the purpose of his visit to the underworld this time?"
Cao Xiaoyang said: "I only know that he agreed to Emperor Xudu to find the Yin Seal like me, as for why he did this, it is not clear, after all, no matter how I think of him, it is impossible for him to be as vulgar as me, and agree to this kind of thing for the glory of the Ninth World." ”
"You're right, there is no one or thing in this yin and yang world that can move him now, except for one, his wife. ”
"You mean he agreed to this to save his wife?"
Of course, after all, his wife was sentenced to Infernal Hell for 3,000 years, which is unimaginable pain for any ghost, and the more he loves his wife, the more painful his heart becomes, and if he rescues her, it can be regarded as a relief for the two of them. ”
Cao Xiaoyang said: "I'm curious, what happened between him and his wife, why did his wife go to the Infernal Hell to be tortured?
"As I said, everything is so incredible, I'm afraid it can only be explained by the Mandate of Heaven.
The first time they met was at the annual Menglan Bon Festival in your world, when the Ghost Emperor Yang Yun went to inspect the Yang World as in previous years, and met a human woman who made him fall in love at first sight.
The woman's name is Lu Lingwei, she is a famous lady, Yang Yun turned into a human son to talk to her, and the two hit it off at first sight and soon fell in love.
Back in the underworld, Lu Lingwei has been lingering in Yang Yun's mind, and then he has returned to the yang world many times to have private meetings with Lu Lingwei, and the relationship between the two has gradually deepened.
This person who fell in love is like crazy, from the first month to the next day, and finally Yang Yun will be itchy like an insect if he doesn't see Lu Lingwei for an hour.
So he simply entrusted the affairs of the underworld that his ghost emperor needed to deal with to his attendants, and then went to the yang world to escape alone.
Ghost Emperor Yang Yun fell in love with a mortal woman, and stayed in the yang world for a long time, this matter is almost known in the capital of Xudu, but people and ghosts have different paths, Yang Yun is considered to be a blatant violation of the laws of the underworld, but because of his identity as the ghost emperor, no ghost dares to meddle in this matter, even the Lord of Yama turned a blind eye, until one day, this matter reached the ears of the Emperor of Xudu.
Emperor Xudu cherishes talents, and Yang Yun is the youngest and most promising of the five ghost emperors, so he warned Yang Yun that as long as he and Lu Lingwei never interact again, then he can not blame him for violating the yin law.
But at that time, Yang Yun was completely inseparable from Lu Lingwei, so he made a decision that shocked the entire underworld, he wanted to give up his identity as a ghost emperor, and then cross the Nai He Bridge to reincarnate as a human, and from then on he and Lu Lingwei lived and flew together.
You must know that after thousands of years of cultivation at that time, Yang Yun already had half of the immortal physique, and it wouldn't take long for him to break away from the ghost path and rank in the immortal class.
He gave up his identity as a ghost emperor at this time, not only burned his thousands of years of cultivation, but also broke the heart of Emperor Xudu, who had high hopes for him, and finally Emperor Xudu cut off his immortal bones and threw him into the six realms of reincarnation.
Because he didn't drink Meng Po soup, Yang Yun retained his previous memories after being reincarnated as an adult, he thought that he could finally be with Lu Lingwei, but he didn't expect Emperor Xudu to dig a hole in his fate.
In this life, Lu Lingwei was still reincarnated into a rich family and became a daughter, but Yang Yun was just a poor scholar, although Yang Yun found Lu Lingwei through his own efforts and fell in love with her, but the identity gap between the poor scholar and the daughter became an insurmountable gap.
In the end, he had to watch Lu Lingwei be promised to others by her parents, but as a mortal at that time, he was completely powerless, and finally the two met to jump into the river and die in love, Yang Yun didn't get the life he wanted after all.
In fact, the reason why Emperor Xudu arranged Yang Yun's fate after reincarnation was to let him see the impermanence of the world in the yang world, and it was not worth it for him to give up the identity of the Ghost Emperor to exchange, because Emperor Xudu still retained Yang Yun's immortal bones, so he still had hope for Yang Yun from the beginning, hoping that he could see the reality clearly and change his mind.
But Yang Yun not only did not thank the Emperor Xudu for this matter, but made a big fuss about the Great Hall afterwards, and he rebuked the Emperor Xudu in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in the underworld, saying that it was too insidious for the Emperor to arrange such a fate for him.
This time he really completely angered the Emperor, and the Emperor imprisoned him in a fit of rage.
Because the Red Flower Ghost King was causing trouble in the Northern Underworld at that time, the Emperor Xudu planned to take good care of Yang Yun after dealing with the matter of the Ghost King, but unexpectedly, during this time, Yang Yun's wife Lu Lingwei was worried about Yang Yun's safety, so she sneaked into the Xudu Hall without permission to try to rescue Yang Yun, but in the process, she accidentally broke the ghost Mingzhan used by the Emperor to suppress the Northern Underworld, and broke into a catastrophe.
Because of the lack of the Ghost Ming Zhan, it directly led to the Emperor's defeat in the first crusade against the Red Flower Ghost King, so the Emperor was angry and sent Lu Lingwei into the lowest level of the eighteen-layer hell, the Infernal Hell, and he could not be reborn forever.
Yang Yun saw that Lu Lingwei had entered hell and asked to go to hell to accompany her to be punished, but at that time, the Red Flower Ghost King was in trouble in the North Underworld, and the entire underworld was in danger, and the emperor's men were short of manpower, and Yang Yun was once his most effective general.
So the Emperor promised Yang Yun that if he could go to the Northern Hells to defeat the Red Flower Ghost King with Cao Tianren, he would make an exception to reduce Lu Lingwei's sentence after being punished in the Infernal Hell for 3,000 years.
Yang Yun saw a glimmer of hope for a reunion with Lu Lingwei, so he readily agreed to the emperor's proposal, and then the emperor returned Yang Yun's immortal bones and made him go on the expedition with Cao Tianren.
You know the outcome of the aftermath, under the leadership of your ancestor Cao Tianren, that great battle was finally won.
After that, the emperor fulfilled his promise and commuted Lu Lingwei's sentence to three thousand years, but those three thousand years were not short, enough to wear out Yang Yun's heart.
After that, Yang Yun was tired of the sadness of the capital city, so he left the underworld and went to the yang world, changing his name to Bai Xiaoyan, which was the name he had given when he was reincarnated as a poor scholar before.
After returning to the yang world, he lived in Cao Tianren's spiritual tower, accompanied by Lu Lingwei's body, and this residence was 800 years.
It wasn't until this Yin Xi appeared that he returned to the capital for the first time. ”
After hearing this, Cao Xiaoyang sighed again and again, he really didn't expect Bai Xiaoyan to have such a bitter past.
He remembered what Bai Xiaoyan had said to him that money was very important before, and at that time he was very puzzled about Bai Xiaoyan, who didn't care about anything, how would he care so much about money, but now he finally understood.
If Bai Xiaoyan had a lot of money, he would have been able to marry Lu Lingwei, and the couple would not have had the tragedy behind.
Bai Ying patted Cao Xiaoyang's shoulder and said, "Okay, it's not early, let's go to sleep." Tomorrow I will take you to get acquainted with this capital city, and then you will return to the yang world and begin your journey to find the Yin Seal. ”
Cao Xiaoyang nodded silently.
A day later, Cao Xiaoyang and Bai Xiaoyan made peace with Tang Wenwen at the Lechuan Ferry, and then returned to the yang world together.
Due to the great task of finding the Yin Seal, Cao Xiaoyang had to temporarily entrust the management of the Ling Tower to his grandmother Yang Qian, and Tang Wenwen also joined Cao Xiaoyang's team to find the Yin Xi because she had nothing to do in the Ling Tower.
Cao Xiaoyang put the soul fragment of the previous mirror ghost into the crystal treasure box, which showed a place called Sanhe Village, which was located in the remote mountainous area of the southwest, close to the ancient Miao Jiang area.
The Miaojiang region has always been famous for raising Gu, and it is said that the Gu women here are very dangerous, just a glance or a simple touch can plant Gu worms in a person's body, and it is easy to take people's lives.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaoyan and Tang Wenwen in Cao Xiaoyang and his party are ghosts, so they will not fall for Gu, and Cao Xiaoyang himself has already been invincible to all poisons because he has eaten the Golden Cicada Gu of the King of Hundred Gu.
