Chapter 36: The Beginning (1st Update)
"What's the matter, what's the matter with me?" On the bank of the Lechuan River, the flowers on the other side swayed leisurely, and Mo, who was standing quietly on the bank, gathered the scroll in his hand, turned around, and looked at Yakumo Zi who had just come to him behind him.
"Hmm......" Zi nodded, glancing at Mo Gang, who had been holding the scroll in his hand.
It was a very unique 'scroll', or more accurately, it was the moment she saw the object, and she subconsciously thought it should be a 'scroll'.
It was a 'scroll' connected by one slender blood jade after another, and on the blood-colored jade, there were no words or patterns, but even if it was just a hurried glance, it seemed to see a boundless sea of blood on it, infinitely evolving.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Zi retracted his gaze without a trace, and looked at Mo: ", Actually, there is nothing special, but I have been watching you busy during this time, and I myself seem to have nothing to do." That's why I wanted to ask, is there anything I can do to help? ”
"Even if it's just a trivial thing, it's boring to be idle all the time. Sure enough, I still want to find something to do. At this, she sighed softly. I guess I'm 'looking for something to do'.
"Ahh That's ......", Mo smiled and nodded clearly, "I'm really sorry, I actually forgot about it......"
"No, no, why did you apologize." Purple shook her head, "After all, I just want to find something to pass the time." After all, seeing that you have been busy, but I have nothing to do, I always feel a little uncomfortable. ”
"Hmm...... That's right. Mo lowered his head and muttered, "If you want to talk about what you want to do, in fact, I have already explained everything I want to explain these days, and the shelves of the Netherworld Mansion have been slowly erected......"
"If you really want to say it, there's nothing we need to meddle in now......"
"Huh?" Yakumo Zi was stunned, and then asked suspiciously: "But not long ago, wasn't the entire Netherworld Mansion empty, just one person in the four seasons." Now that the underworld is creating, it should be the time when there is the most shortage of people, so why ...... it all at once"
"You don't know ......," Mo smiled and shook his head. And, do you think even if you offered to help, Shiki would agree to let you intervene? ”
"Forehead ......", Zi was stunned, remembering a sentence that was often on the lips of the four seasons in the past: It is a sin to interfere with the place of the dead with the body of the living.
Shaking her head, she thought for a moment, then looked at Mo and smiled, "Then what is your situation?" ”
"I'm different." Mo shook his head with a smile, and then added: "In the future, you will understand, as long as you reach my current state, you will find that the boundary between life and death is not so 'absolute'." ”
"......", Yakumo Zi was obviously stunned, as if he was a little confused by these words.
What does it mean to be where you are now? With an existence like you, the gap between you and me is more than ten thousand miles......
How......
"Well, it just so happens that the things that should be explained over there in the four seasons have also been explained, so let's explain it to you today, the things in this netherworld place of life and death ......"
"I guess you didn't know anything about it before, so I'll start with the beginning......
……
What kind of existence is the so-called Netherworld? This is really very good to describe in a word. And the explanation given by Mo is that the so-called Netherworld is just a name, and its essence is the collection of all the yin side of the world.
There will be Senluo Hell here, and there will also be Guixu Yellow Spring. Death is intertwined here, and sinful karma is stacked here. Even if he single-handedly created the order of the underworld reincarnation in front of him, he would not say that everything he has created now must be right.
But at least, the 'Netherworld' in front of me is many times more 'beautiful' than what I imagined and understood. Yakumo Purple, who had witnessed this netherworld upheaval, said silently in the bottom of his heart.
And from the moment the Netherworld was established, in fact, all the rules and order have been engraved into the operation of heaven and earth, and it is not easy for eternity.
Just as the Lethe extradition of the souls of the dead in the heavens, the ruins accept all silence, the underworld judges all sins, and hell reckons with all causes and effects. And the disk of reincarnation, the tree of life and death, is to run all yin and yang circulation and creation, sitting in the underworld.
Everything was decided from then on.
Don't follow the world, don't move for love. Just like water flows low and heat dissipates outward, that is the law engraved by the world, and it is difficult for people to go retrograde if they do not flow in people's hearts.
'The order of the Netherworld, from now on! This was not a lie from the beginning.
Therefore, the manpower problem that Zi was worried about at the beginning did not exist. Just because, even if there is no one, the cycle of reincarnation of the netherworld will arise spontaneously and operate naturally.
It's just that as Mo said before, the way of heaven is lofty, ruthless and sexless. If everything is left to the hands of heaven and earth, it will be too 'cruel'. It will be necessary to operate humanely, divide the details, and adjust the deviations.
Heaven and earth are ruthless, so they are selfless, operating all general principles, and sorting out cause and effect sins. This also eliminates the possibility of 'favoritism' from the very beginning. Black is black, white is white, everything is clear, everything is clear.
However, humanity has a heart, and there is affection outside the law, even if it is the same cause and effect of sin, there is also a distinction between high and low, and naturally it cannot be regarded as equal, which requires people's hearts to control and divide.
This is where the gods of Hades are responsible.
And these days, and the four seasons, are more about the framework of the Netherworld in the future. How to divide the clergy, recruit personnel, expand the manpower, and make the Netherworld better operational.
As long as these initial frameworks are settled, it is only necessary to leave time to slowly select the right people to fill in one by one.
Holding the 'Book of Life and Death', which theoretically records the four seasons of all the gods of the Netherworld, he insists on being the custodian and guardian.
All priesthoods and powers evolve from heaven and earth, and cause and effect are calculated. Among them, she is also included. This is the answer she gave, and it is also her persistence.
And after listening to this 'answer', Mo just bowed his head slightly happily, and said no more.
Speaking of this, Mo sighed lightly, "The so-called righteousness of heaven and earth is nothing more than that." As far as the position of Yama is concerned, the four seasons are indeed as I expected, no, more suitable than I expected......"
Yakumo Zi, who was listening quietly, chuckled lightly and said, "That's right, my 'dead-eyed' personality, I've been teaching her a long time ago. ”
"Speaking of which, I have a question." , Mo looked up at Purple, "Purple, how do you know the four seasons?" ”
"Huh?" Yakumo Zi was stunned, and then smiled: "Ah, I haven't told you about this before." ”
"If it's inconvenient to say, forget it."
"It's not a convenient ......," Zi raised her hand and brushed the emanation in her ear, and said with a smile:
"Actually, it's nothing special, it's just that when I was young and vigorous, when I was experimenting with my abilities, I accidentally strayed into the netherworld, and I was eroded by the death qi and almost died. When I hit it by mistake, I broke into here, met her, and was rescued by her. After coming and going, they got to know each other. ”
"Hehe, I see, that's ......", Mo Wenyan shook his head and smiled, "This sounds, how can there be an inexplicable sense of familiarity......"
"Haha...... Indeed......"
……
Unconsciously, the figures of the two walked all the way, crossed the sea of flowers, crossed the Lethe River, and came to the shadow of the huge secluded tree again.
Mo looked up at the huge figure in front of him, looking at the petals flying in the sky, his eyes flowed, as if from the shadow of the faint tree, reflecting the entire world.
On the other hand, Zi on the side looked at the black figure standing quietly in front of him, and was slightly distracted.
All things flow on it, everything brews in it, and in the dark eyes, it seems that from the beginning, it is encompassing thousands of things, reflecting all things.
"Now, Purple." At this time, Mo slowly turned around, and the eyes that seemed to accommodate Daqian were clearly reflected in her figure at this moment, "You, are you willing to practice with me?" ”
“…… Yes...... Yes? Yakumo Zi was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to come back to his senses, and asked with a puzzled sideways head: "'Cultivation', what is that?" ”
Mo was stunned, and then smiled happily: "That's a good question!" ”
"This question is the beginning of the practice......
…… To be continued......
