Chapter 25: Ten Thousand Souls
Speaking of this, Chun Ting's eyes looked at the ground under our feet, and after stomping a few times with his feet, he continued to speak.
"The reason why Zulong built the Black Rock City here is actually not arbitrary, this Black Rock City is being built in the place where the earth endured the pain of suppressing the creatures of the Youdu back then, that is to say, now under our feet, what is suppressed is the creatures of the Youdu that were bewitched by Rahu back then!"
As Chunting's voice fell, everyone couldn't help but be stunned in their hearts, and their eyes invariably looked at the ground under our feet.
After Chunting's explanation, we have gradually understood the meaning of this so-called Ten Thousand Souls, and by now, there are not too many doubts in everyone's hearts, and all that is left is full of shock.
The so-called soul originally did not refer to the souls of the hidden capital, and the Ten Thousand Souls Punishment did not refer to the killing of the souls of the Youdu, but to kill the demons generated by the souls of the Youdu under the bewitchment of Rahu, that is, to make the souls ambushed.
It is not difficult to see from this sentence that even if those creatures have been bewitched by Rahu, they were born in this place of the hidden capital after all, and as the descendants of the lord of the hidden capital, they still can't bear to kill them, so they retreat to the next best thing and choose this way to purify them.
"This so-called suppression magic weapon, in fact, is the companion magic weapon of Houtu, its real name has long been unknown, after this incident, because this seal has assumed such a great responsibility, so Houtu renamed it the Ten Thousand Souls Seal, and because of its extraordinary significance, it is also called the Ten Thousand Souls Seal."
Seeing what we were looking at, Chunting continued to speak, highlighting this legendary ribbon for us.
"Because Houtu suppressed the creatures in the land of the hidden capital with the Ten Thousand Soul Seal, so invisibly, the imprint of the Ten Thousand Soul Seal was imprinted in the depths of the souls of the creatures in the Youdu, and after this incident, the Ten Thousand Soul Seal was about to leave the scope of the magic weapon, even compared with the legendary artifact."
"And when Houtu returned to the secluded capital for the last time, he knew that his time was short, and he knew in his heart that if he allowed his body to die, then this ten thousand soul seals would be scattered in the world, and if it was obtained by someone with a heart, then this person could completely rely on this seal to order the secluded capital, which was a big hidden danger."
"Therefore, Hou Tu did not hesitate to return to the secluded capital with a serious injury, and then handed over the strange beast and the Ten Thousand Soul Seal to Tubo, and ordered Tubo to transfer it to someone who can really control it, so as to avoid those unknown risks, and at the same time involve his own planning."
After listening to the introduction just now, everyone knew in their hearts that as mentioned in Chunting's mouth, Houtu thought that the person who could really master the Ten Thousand Soul Seal should be the first emperor of the ages, Zulong Yingzheng.
If it weren't for this, it would never be possible for Tubo's loyalty to transfer the Ten Thousand Soul Seal to Zu Long, since Zu Long had obtained the Ten Thousand Soul Seal, it also meant that in Houtu's plan, Zu Long must have occupied an extremely important position, and this position did not hesitate to let Houtu give away the entire Youdu.
However, although we have a general understanding of what happened back then, for us, these are old things, and it seems that we should not care about these things now.
So, I unconsciously rubbed my hands together and asked Chunting seriously again.
"Chunting, these things are too far away from us, so what are you trying to explain to us what you just said?"
"Since Houtu didn't want to hurt the lives of the creatures of the Netherland, he just chose to suppress it and didn't harm it, and since Zulong took over the Ten Thousand Soul Seal and became the new Lord of the Netherland, he naturally knew Houtu's thoughts and would not make any claims on this matter." 67
Chunting seemed to have some answers to my doubts, but everyone knew that he might have his own reasoning, so no one bothered him, and everyone listened quietly to what he said.
"But Rahu's inner demon bewitchment is too powerful, even if these creatures have been suppressed from the mythological period to the Warring States period, but this bewitchment has still not been completely purified."
"After getting the Ten Thousand Soul Seal handed over by Hou Tu Ming Tu Bo, Zu Long was very happy, because after getting this thing, he became the new lord of the Hidden Capital, and mastered many long-lost secret methods of the Hidden Capital from the Ten Thousand Soul Seal, helping him to unify the six kingdoms more smoothly, calm the world, and complete the immortal cause."
When it comes to Zu Long, I can see that there is an undisguised trace of admiration and respect in Chun Ting's eyes, and his words are full of admiration for Zu Long.
"But after the unification of the world, the ancestral dragon began to think about the suppressed creatures in the hidden capital, although the ancestral dragon has been fighting all year round, but deep down, the ancestral dragon is not a cruel person, since the Houtu has not chosen a hundred ways, then the ancestral dragon will naturally not choose such a choice."
"So after some thought, Zu Long finally decided to build the Black Rock City in the place where the creatures of the Nether Capital were suppressed, and ordered his subordinates to make corresponding arrangements in the city, trying to speed up the process of purifying the creatures in this way."
"And just after his subordinates established Black Rock City according to his orders, Zu Long made an unexpected decision, that is, he resolutely gave up the Ten Thousand Soul Seal, left it in Black Rock City, and continued to be the suppression of those creatures in the Nether Capital!"
Hearing this decision, I immediately understood why the admiration and respect in Chunting's eyes came from.
After what was just said, everyone knew in their hearts that the so-called Ten Thousand Soul Seal was not just a magic weapon, but also represented the identity of the lord of the hidden capital, no matter who got this thing, then he was the supreme master of this hidden capital.
And in order to be able to complete the wish of the earth, Zu Long was able to give up this identity that made countless people think about it, and resolutely left the Ten Thousand Soul Seal in the land of the hidden capital, so as to speed up the process of purifying the souls of the hidden capital.
To be able to make such a choice, it is worthy of being an emperor through the ages, the ancestral dragon is in power, empathy, if it is me who got this Ten Thousand Souls Seal in the first place, then can I make the same choice as the ancestral dragon?
The answer seems obvious.
Because of this, when mentioning Zulong, even Chunting couldn't hide his admiration and respect in his heart, because Zulong deserves all the respect in this world.
"Chunting, wait a minute, what do you mean ......"
Thinking of this, I suddenly opened my mouth, looked at Chun Ting and asked in disbelief.
"If according to what you said, does that mean that in this Black Stone City today, there are not only the bones of the Houtu and an unknown beast, but also the seal of ten thousand souls that represents the position of the lord of the hidden capital?!"
