Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Six Realms
"Part of the reason why I want to marry you is to repay my father, and partly because ...... I want to become a god......" After being silent for thirty seconds, Hu Shiniang continued: "I think Xianggong should also know that it is easy to become an immortal and difficult to become a god, and if you cultivate for a thousand years, I will be able to take off the fox body and cultivate into a fox immortal, but the immortal is not a god after all, the immortal has a long and endless life, and it is not an immortal god in the end, so I want to be ranked as a god and live with heaven and earth......"
"If you want to become a god, you have to work hard to become a god, what does this have to do with you marrying me?" After listening to Hu Shiniang's description of the cow's head and the horse's tail, Lu Yu asked her in a puzzled whisper.
"Don't you know, if all things in heaven and earth want to become gods, they must have great merit, this is stipulated in the "Heavenly Rules", and all living beings must follow the ......" Hu Shisi Niang, who thought Lu Yu knew everything, realized that he really didn't understand anything about Xianggong after listening to the question Lu Yu just asked.
"Oh...... I see...... You follow me...... Do you want to make great merits......" After listening to Hu Shisiniang's explanation, Lu Yu first muttered, and then he asked again: "I have now accepted the position of the judge of the Chenghuang Yamen here, so am I considered to have become a god?" ”
"It's not a ......" After shaking his head first and pouring a basin of cold water on Lu Yu's fiery heart, Hu Shisi Niang then explained: "The gods I am talking about refer to the immortals who rank in the Heavenly Court Immortal Class, among the six realms, only the people in the divine realm are the real gods, and the immortals in the underworld are far behind......"
"The Six Realms? Aren't there only three worlds: the human world, the heavenly world, and the underworld? How can there be six realms? Lu Yu, who heard a new term from Hu Shiniang's story, turned his head and asked her suspiciously.
At this moment, Lu Yu cast his eyes on the face of Hu Shi Niang, who slept with him, for the first time, so it can be seen that Lu Yu was very interested in the "Six Realms" that Hu Shi Niang said.
"It's not the Three Realms, it's really the Six Realms, Xianggong!" After nodding first to show that what she said was absolutely true, Hu Shiniang also turned her head and turned her face to Lu Yu, and explained to Lu Yu face to face, eye to eye, and mouth to mouth: "The so-called six realms refer to the god world, the demon world, the fairy world, the demon world, the human world, and the underworld......
"Oh...... It sounds like that......" After grinning and groaning, Lu Yu, who was once again subverted in his worldview, frowned and asked Hu Shisi Niang: "You tell me about the Six Realms, it's the first time I've heard it, and ...... I don't know anything about ......"
"Good ......" continued to probe Lu Yu's heartbeat frequency, testing whether Lu Yu was talking nonsense Hu Shi Niang, and found that this time his husband did not continue to break blindly, what he said was true, and he really didn't know anything, so she nodded and explained to her husband: "The so-called six worlds, in fact, only refer to four spaces, among them, the god realm is the heavenly realm you said, located above the nine heavens, the underworld is also the ghost world, located under the nine secluded lands, the two realms of gods and ghosts are their own space, which is very different from the environment of the human world, as for the demon world, Legend has it that it also has its own space, but no one knows where it is located, and there is a legend that the entrance to the Demon Realm is in the Divine Realm, but I don't know if this legend is credible or not......"
After a pause and another deep breath, Hu Shisi Niang continued: "As for the three worlds of the human world, the fairy world and the demon world, they are in the same space, that is, the world where we are located, according to legend, the fairy world is located in the mountains of our Shu land, and as for the demon world, it is located in the Kunlun Mountains......"
"Where did you get this knowledge?" Lu Yu, who was a little skeptical of what Hu Shisi Niang said, interrupted her narration and asked her doubts.
"This is the knowledge that has been passed down by our fox clan through the ages, Xianggong, you know, our demon clan has a longer history than the human race, so the history of the ancient period, we know a lot more than the human race......" After listening to Lu Yu's question, Hu Shisi Niang explained with a chuckle.
"If the knowledge handed down by the fox clan is correct, then the universe is not the Six Realms, only the Four Realms, the Heavenly Realm counts as one, the Demon Realm counts as one, and the Underworld counts as one, after all, they all have their own worlds, and the Human World, the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm can only be counted as one world, because, the so-called independent world of these two is actually one......" After listening to Hu Shisi Niang's explanation, Lu Yu nodded silently, and then, he sorted out those slightly contradictory rumors in his mind and said his own opinion.
"Well, Xianggong, you're right, in fact, I also think that there are only four worlds, humans, demons, and immortals do live in the same world, but the saying handed down in ancient times is the Six Realms, which is ......" Hu Shisiniang, who agreed with Lu Yu's analysis, replied with a wry smile.
"Also, you mentioned the ...... of "Heavenly Rules" Let's call it the law for the time being, if there is really a law of "Heavenly Rules", then, who does it restrict, if all beings in the Six Realms must abide by the "Heavenly Rules", then, who formulated the "Heavenly Rules", and whether the person who formulated the "Heavenly Rules" is the real master of the Six Realms......" Lu Yu, who was thinking about the image of the ancestor of the Hongjun in "The Romance of the Gods", discussed with Hu Shisi Niang in a low voice.
"This ......" Hu Shi Niang, who was brain-opening by Lu Yu's words just now, didn't know how to respond for a while, and after muttering in a low voice for half a minute, she "digested" Lu Yu's words before she answered: "I think, Xianggong, you are right, "Tiantiao" should be the law that all beings in the Six Realms must abide by, as for whether there is a person who dominates the Six Realms, I ...... I don't know...... However, I found that people who become demons do not enter the six realms of reincarnation after death, you must know that even the immortals of the god realm have to enter the six realms of reincarnation in the underworld after they fall, but the demon ......."
In other words, the punishment of the "Heavenly Strip" for those who become demons is...... After death, the soul is destroyed...... No longer in samsara...... Why is that...... Or...... The devil is strong...... Powerful enough to be immortal...... From now on...... There is no need for six reincarnations......" Following Hu Shi Niang's words, Lu Yu began to guess blindly.
"I've seen the death of a demon clan who has become a demon, and it is really a god and soul destroying, so, Xianggong, the one you said earlier may be the answer, demons can die, but the punishment of demons in "Tiantiao" is ......" For Lu Yu's various speculations, Hu Shisi Niang gave an answer that she thought was correct.
"Oh......" After listening to Hu Shi Niang's words, Lu Yu nodded clearly, and then, he sighed: "In this way, the entire universe is a super large circulation system, and the "Heavenly Rules" is the rule of the whole system, it rewards good and punishes evil, using the six reincarnations as a means, on merit and reward, on evil punishment, it accurately controls the entire system......"
Lu Yu, who seemed to know what the world he was in, was muttering, and suddenly ......
