431 The paradox of King Yama
It turned out that the little ghost I rescued from the Yin Law Division turned out to be the bookworm ghost who helped the master Cui Yu manage the book of life and death. It knows almost everything about what is recorded in the Book of Life and Death, which made me very interested in it.
It's just that I learned from its mouth that my longevity is only forty-one years, and it depends on my own fortune. It would be a great loss if I had suffered misfortune in advance and had not even lived to be forty-one years old!
Subsequently, the bookworm ghost comforted me again, and Yin cultivation can advance Yin Shou in advance, and my Yin Shou has more than 400 years, so I don't have to worry about the length of life. It's right to think about it, from this point of view, it doesn't matter if the yang life is short or not. If I could live 450 years, I would have lived enough!
"What's the other way you say there is a way to change it?" I then asked about it.
"The other is that only the king of Yama can write and modify, but that requires the seventh level of Yin Gong cultivation, and it will cost the essence yuan. Generally speaking, the king of Yama rarely does this kind of thing. The bookworm ghost replied.
Well, in this way, the last time the two Yin Shuai were able to get the King of Yama to spend Jing Yuan to increase Yang Shou, it can indeed be regarded as Huang Enhao. If I also want to ask King Yama to increase my lifespan, I guess the only chance is to rely on the continuous achievements of war.
"So, is there a record in the book of life and death how many years the life span of King Yama is?" This question popped up in my head, and it was almost the ultimate question.
King Yama has mastered the book of life and death, and the book of life and death records the life and death of each person, if the king of Yama keeps revising his book of life and death, wouldn't it be possible to live forever? And if this is okay, can the book of life and death still be called the book of life and death?
This is actually a paradox!
The bookworm ghost had no intention of concealing it, and replied: "His yang life is one hundred and five years, and his yin life is nine hundred and twenty years, and he will have a good death!" ”
"His yin longevity is so high? Did he change it himself? "I thought to myself, at least it is really possible for King Yama to live to be more than a thousand years old.
"No, he really hasn't changed." The bookworm ghost shook his head and said, "It's not uncommon to have a yin life span of nine hundred years, and I've seen it for thousands of years!" However, whether he can live to that age depends entirely on his own creation. ”
"In other words, King Yama will also die?" I asked.
"Yes!" The bookworm ghost replied with certainty, "The current king of Yama is already the tenth, and seven of the previous nine king of Yama have died a good death, and two have "died of misfortune"! ”
"And that kind of thing?" I was taken aback a little. If I hadn't been told by a bookworm, no one would have believed it. It's top secret!
"How did those two Yama kings who didn't die well?" I asked curiously.
The bookworm ghost shook his head helplessly, and said: "This kind of specific details will not be written in the book of life and death, but should be recorded in the history book of the underworld written by the Yin Law Division, which is top secret, and I have no permission to read it." ”
"That's ......"
I'm a little disappointed, but it's a terrible and dangerous thing to know so many secrets about the underworld. This also made me hesitate to continue to help the bookworm escape.
"What are your plans after escaping from the Yin Division?" I asked it.
The bookworm ghost said: "I still have one hundred and twenty years of yin life, so I don't want to be reincarnated yet, I just want to walk around the underworld and play." If I have the chance, I would like to go back to the sun to have a look. ”
I said, "I am the general of the Yin Army, but I can enter and leave the underworld freely. But I will take a big risk to help you like this, especially since Cui Yu will definitely send someone to strictly investigate the ghost gate in order to prevent you from escaping from the underworld. ”
"Alas, of course I understand...... bookworm ghost couldn't help but sigh, and came to beg me again: "General Zhai, I didn't think of letting you take such a big risk again. Is this good, you let me hide from you for a while, and then ask you to help take me out when the limelight passes. And during this time, as long as you want to know what is in the book of life and death, I can tell you at any time! ”
"I already know the yang and yin longevity of myself and my family, what else is there to ask?" I'm still hesitating.
"No, I have another trick that will definitely work for you!" Seeing that I was not interested, the bookworm ghost hurriedly said.
"What's the trick?"
"I've been in the library for hundreds of years, and I don't dare to say that I know all the people and ghosts who were born and died in the last five hundred years! And, no matter who it is, as soon as we meet, I can tell his name, birth, origin, and lifespan! ”
"So powerful?"
I was a little moved again, and thought, "This bookworm knows so much, and it may be useful to stay by my side in the future." Besides, when I brought it out of the Yin Law Division and knew so many secrets in the book of life and death, I had already committed a great sin! At this time, even if I take the initiative to hand it back to the Yin Law Division, I'm afraid Cui Yu won't let me go easily! ”
With that in mind, I agreed to take it in. I usually hide the bookworm ghost in my bag and carry it with me. But before going out of the underworld and passing through the ghost gate, it was temporarily transferred to a porcelain vase and left in the dormitory.
From that day on, the Ghost Gate Pass really added an extra check than before, and the Yin Messenger sent by the Yin Law Division specially checked the people who left the customs to see if there were any ghosts carrying unauthorized exits. The reason given by Cui Yu, the chief bookkeeper, on the surface is to prevent the reincarnated ghost from bribing the officials of the prefecture to escape, but in fact, it must be to find the bookworm ghost and catch it back.
However, because the existence of the bookworm ghost is too sensitive and knows too many secrets, once the king of Yama knows that the contents of the book of life and death are leaked, I am afraid that even Cui Yu, the main bookkeeper in charge of the book of life and death, will be unlucky. Therefore, Cui Yu did not dare to blatantly send people to search everywhere, especially in the underworld like the Yin Army Barracks. The bookworm ghost should be relatively safe hiding in my dorm room for the time being.
Occasionally, I will release the bookworm ghost to breathe, ask some people about the situation, and when I am in a good mood to eat a yin meal, I will also fry a ghost meal for it to have a good time. The bookworm ghost is very happy, and always says that it is really lucky, and it has met a good Samaritan, but I don't know how long it will take to leave the underworld?
The escape of the bookworm ghost from the Yin Law Division is actually just one of the hidden small incidents that have happened in the underworld recently, and bigger and more troublesome events are still fermenting.
At the same time that the Yin Army continued to carry out a series of measures to enhance its combat effectiveness, such as recruitment, reorganization, and intensified training of new soldiers, the Prefecture Investigation Department also greatly strengthened the collection of information in other places, especially in the Yang world.
After the first two battles with the ghost army in Hanchang City and Yanmo, the Yin army believes that the current strength of the ghost army is not what it used to be, and it should not be underestimated. The most urgent need for improvement in the prefecture is the early spying and reconnaissance work, so as to avoid the painful lessons such as the destruction of the magic circle of the Receiving Division and the ambush of the Yin army in the battle of Hanchang City.
Therefore, the prefecture now attaches great importance to intelligence work. The king of Yama ordered the Chacha Division to focus on this matter, and Lu Zhidao immediately sent a large number of spies to various places to collect and feedback information about the ghost army's infestation.
However, after the destruction of the Salt Desert Ghost City, the ghost army led by the ghost marshal disappeared in the underworld for a while, obviously avoiding the limelight. But with its cunning and the elusiveness of the ghost army, it must be hiding somewhere at this time and secretly plotting, and it will make a comeback soon!
Sure enough, some of the recent news from the yang world shows that the guerrilla tactics of the ghost commander are not only implemented in the underworld, but also in the yang world, and it seems that the focus of the next move has recently shifted to the yang world.
The underworld is under the jurisdiction of the underworld, but the yang world is more like the territory of Taoism. It is said that the movement of the ghost army has also attracted the attention of the Taoist sect, and the Maoshan Taoist Association is highly concerned about this, and is also closely investigating the whereabouts of the ghost army. Therefore, the current situation of the ghost army is actually not optimistic, and it is in the middle of a two-sided attack between Dao Cultivation and Yin Cultivation.
After a few months of tension in this way, the spies sent by the underworld to the Yang World suddenly sent back urgent reports one after another, saying that the ghost army had recently appeared near a large cemetery called Deserted Tomb Mountain in the Yang World, and it was probably the idea to fight there!
Huangfen Mountain is a big ghost city opened by the local Yin Xiu, with thousands of regular residents, and the business is quite hot, almost equivalent to the copy of Xiling Cemetery. I'm afraid that the ghost marshal is planning another conspiracy to attack the ghost city, and wants to capture many wandering ghosts in the ghost city to enrich his ghost army.
Moreover, once a big ghost city like this is attacked by the ghost army, it will definitely be another catastrophe for the many Yin cultivation sects who barely survive by doing small business in the Yang Ghost Market!
However, after receiving the urgent report, the opinions of the bigwigs in the Yama Hall were not unanimous. As a general, I am also qualified to attend such a high-level military meeting. Half of them thought they should take the initiative and thwart the Oni Shuai's plot before he could act. The other half of the people believe that the Yin army has just completed its reorganization, and there are not enough soldiers, so they should no longer go all out to fight this kind of uncertain battle.
The most chaotic thing is that the opinions of the two handsomes on this matter, day tour and night tour, are actually not in agreement. Marshal Day Tour actively agreed with the attack, while Marshal Night Tour opposed sending troops, and both of them had very good reasons. Although we yin generals can attend, we are certainly not qualified to express our opinions casually. Even if he was asked by the king of Yama by name, he either stood in line with his boss, or he was wise enough to protect himself, saying: "Whether you go or not, you will obey Your Majesty's dispatch!" ”
Even the four major judges were the same, Zhong Kui and Lu Zhidao were in favor of sending troops, and Wei Zheng and Cui Yu were against sending troops. The final decision rested with the king of Yama.
The king of Yama pondered for a long time, and finally decided to send troops, and the Japanese guerrilla army who took the initiative to invite Ying to fight!
