Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Old Affair of the Youth
After listening to this story in Chunting's mouth, which is completely different from what the public knows, we are faintly shocked.
Could this be the true origin of the legendary rakshasa?
In this way, this rakshasa is not actually the legendary evil ghost, but the ancient powerful soul who helped Emperor Xudu to control the discipline of the Yin Cao in the underworld?
And in this case, why did this legendary rakshasa leave itself with rumors that men are extremely ugly and women are extremely beautiful, and why did it make the world have a misunderstanding that it eats human flesh and blood, and is extremely cruel?
Undoubtedly, this is a story that we have never been exposed to before, and we can't guess the reason anyway, and since we can't figure it out, we simply give up thinking about it, and everyone looks at Chunting, waiting for him to explain it for us.
"Rakshasa actually did not originally refer to the evil ghosts in the underworld, but the name of a special group in the underworld, and this group is not the evil ghosts in the eyes of the public, but the power to save the world."
Seeing the curiosity on our faces, Chunting sighed and slowly unveiled this thousand-year-old secret for us.
"As I said before, the rakshasas are the powerful souls that cultivated to the heavens in ancient times, even if they have died and come to the underworld, they are different from other unconscious lonely souls and wild ghosts, but still have their own cultivation and thinking."
"Because of this, after Emperor Xudu seriously told him about the huge impact that ghosts would have if they left the Netherworld and returned to Shenzhou, they knew the hidden dangers, so they agreed to Emperor Xudu's request without the slightest hesitation to help him take charge of the Netherworld."
"And the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, and goodness is not in power, it is precisely in order to better control the underworld, so the Rakshasa clan did not hesitate to destroy their image, leaving the impression and rumors of the so-called Rakshasa in your eyes for the world."
Speaking of this, Chun Ting's face was serious, and there was a faint respect in his tone.
"Because the Buddha crosses sentient beings, the Buddha has no fixed appearance, the Buddha looks like sentient beings, and although the Rakshasa clan is not a Buddha, they have seen a lot of the world's ignorant appearance in the yin, so after a long time, this clan is actually the same as the Buddha, and can show the appearance of the world on the face."
"Therefore, after a long time, the Rakshasa clan, who had cultivated in their previous lives, took advantage of the situation to make their faces extremely ugly, and at the same time made the illusion that the Rakshasa was extremely cruel and cannibalistic, trying to make the spirits in the Yin Cao fear them in this way, so that they could better control the Yin Cao."
Hearing this, we gradually understood the respect on Chunting's face, and at the same time, we also understood the good intentions of the Rakshasa clan.
Because the so-called great power, in addition to cultivating to the heavens, must be people with extremely good nature, and since this Rakshasa clan is a powerful person in ancient times, then their nature must be extremely good.
Chunting is right, Ci is not in charge of soldiers, good is not in power, since Emperor Xudu asked the Rakshasa clan to help him rule the land of Yincao, then they must change, and they cannot make people perceive the original kindness in their hearts.
Because, no one is afraid of a person who is good by nature from the bottom of his heart.
The wandering spirits in the underworld are also human beings like us in life, and since they are human beings, they will definitely have joys, sorrows, sorrows, seven emotions and six desires, fears, and greed, even if they die in the netherworld, some emotions still remain in their minds.
Fear is one of the most obvious.
Because of this, the Rakshasa clan did not hesitate to destroy their image, making their appearance extremely ugly, and at the same time deliberately released the rumors that the Rakshasa was cannibalistic and brutal, the purpose of which was to make the geists fear them, and through this fear, they could be better managed.
From this point of view, the Rakshasa clan has indeed made great sacrifices for the peace of the two worlds.
It's no wonder that Chunting just said that the Rakshasa clan is not a demon that calamities the world, but a power to save the world, and now it seems that such an evaluation is not an exaggeration.
"Originally, if there were no accidents, the Rakshasa clan would have taken root in the Netherworld like this and did their best to contribute to the balance of the two sessions, but unexpectedly, things changed unexpectedly."
The clarity on our faces was unobstructed by Chunting, and seeing that we were so affectionate, he continued to tell the rest of the story.
"When a person dies as a ghost, the ghost should enter the netherworld, obviously, the relationship between the netherworld and the land of Shenzhou is extremely complicated, although there is a boundary sea separated by it, but it is like the two sides of a copper coin, although it will never be seen, but it is indispensable."
"But in the records of the Guanshan lineage, the appearance of the Netherworld is far later than the land of Shenzhou, in the mythological era, because there is no Netherworld, so even if people die, their souls can't find a place to go, so they can only stay in Shenzhou and watch their souls slowly fly away."
"And at this moment, the Emperor Xudu appeared, according to records, the mysterious Emperor Xudu who was in charge of the Netherworld was the soul of the first recognized person in Shenzhou after his death!"
Speaking of this, Chun Ting could no longer hide the admiration in his eyes, and the tone in his mouth was extremely sacred, even like a pilgrimage.
"Legend has it that this person was gifted in his lifetime, cultivated to the heavens, and there was no second person in that era who could compare with him, even if he died and turned into a soul, he still retained great cultivation and memory, wandering in Shenzhou, and would not gradually die out like ordinary people."
"And after he wandered around Shenzhou with his soul for a long time, he saw too many problems caused by the wandering soul, he was a genius with great wisdom and great magical powers, from these simple questions, he easily saw the essence, and thought of the hidden dangers that the soul could bring if he stayed in Shenzhou."
"Although he can pretend not to know and continue to stay in the land of Shenzhou as a soul, but he did not do so, after some choice, he resolutely left Shenzhou, and after nine deaths and a lifetime, he came to a place isolated from Shenzhou, that is, the original Netherworld."
Speaking of this, Chunting seemed to be a little tired, and I saw him stop talking and watch us reminisce about the story he had just told.
I had already closed my eyes and listened carefully to the story in Chunting's mouth, and before I knew it, I had already brought myself into the person in his mouth, thinking about what I would do next if I were really him.
And after thinking about it, I thought of a possibility that bordered on madness, and I couldn't help but shake my whole body, and then opened my eyes and blurted out while looking at Chunting.
"Chunting, could this person have single-handedly established this netherworld like the second Shenzhou!?"
