Volume 1 The Beginning of the Rise Prologue The Underworld is in turmoil
There are two gates leading to the underworld in the world, one is the ghost gate and the other is the human gate, so there is a saying that the world has to go through the ghost gate when the life is over.
The underworld is different from the world, there is no sun rising and the moon setting, only a round of bright moon hanging, nine hundred years of brilliance dissipated, and another hundred years of condensation and regeneration, this lack of a hundred years of bright moon, the yin is extremely strong, it will be the most turbulent period of the underworld, is the year of the great catastrophe of the underworld every thousand years.
Now that the nine-hundred-year period is approaching, needless to say, the black and white impermanence that has been stationed in the ghost pass all the year round, even Zhong Kui, who likes to go to the world to catch a few evil ghosts and drink wine, has obediently returned to his post, and he easily does not dare to leave his post without permission.
Xudu, set up eighteen ghost prisons, specifically to guard the evil ghosts and ghosts who cannot be reincarnated or are deprived of the right to reincarnate and reincarnate, according to the size of their evil, assess the level of the ghost prison that should be imprisoned, one to eighteen, the more later, the more severe the torture, especially the eighteenth called the "unloading of the spirit" of the ghost prison is the most terrifying ghost, because there is a strange beast that is the tortured person and the supervisor, the strange beast resembles a tiger, the head is long and double-horned, the forehead has five eyes, the body has four wings, the name is called "night diaphragm", likes to eat evil ghosts, the heavier the resentment, the more it likes.
Although the night is a strange beast, it can transform into a human form as early as the last big year, and it has been devouring evil ghosts for thousands of years to increase its cultivation, if it weren't for the restriction of the soul refining lock around its neck, I am afraid that the underworld would have been turned upside down by it long ago.
On the day of the expiration of the 900-year period, visions of the underworld were stacked, and all eighteen ghost prisons were opened, and countless evil ghosts swarmed out.
At the gate of the city tower of the Difu people, there is a strange man in a red robe lying on the roof, with the fine wine that has been hidden by the altar for many years, holding a purple jade gourd in his hand, and pouring a few light balls into his mouth from time to time, chewing with relish.
The moment he noticed the abnormality, Zhong Kui had already gotten up and stood on the beam, the wine stained on his beard didn't bother to wipe it, he squinted his eyes and stared at the thick black mist surging in front of him, shouted, and spit out a sword with the Big Dipper pattern on the body from his mouth, nailed it into the ground, "This place is forbidden, those who come stop, those who pass the sword, their souls are scattered"
Laughter came out of the black mist, "The surname Zhong, read it for the sake of the food you brought me, get out of the way, and when I fulfill my master's wish, when the time comes, the world will share half of you"
Zhong Kui sneered, "Don't talk about those who don't, the last time I saw you, I thought you were weird, little beast, you really didn't hold back a good fart, come on, this seat may not have been in a fight for a long time."
Zhong Kui put the fingers of his right hand together, wiped it forward, and shouted: "Seven Stars Haoran, the hidden dragon is in the abyss, unsheath in front of the formation, kill the evil and punish the traitor", the long sword on the ground first rose straight, and then the tip of the sword stabbed straight towards the black mist, and in an instant there was a sound of gold and iron intersecting in the black mist, followed by a wail.
The flying sword returned to Zhong Kui's hand, and the black mist gradually retreated backwards, revealing a thin young man with red eyes and a coarse linen robe.
"Tut-tut, worthy of the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui, amazing, amazing."
The many evil ghosts that condensed into the black mist are not high in ability after all, not to mention that Zhong Kui naturally overwhelms the ghosts, and ten thousand ghosts will retreat in one round.
The evil young man then spoke: "Zhong Kui, the ninety-hundred-year period has passed, and the Emperor of Xudu is now extremely weak, and the underworld officials are even more in a hurry, just you, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop us."
With that, the evil boy pinched his hands, and then let out a strange beast roar.
Looking at the black mist that became more and more condensed in the roar of the young beast, Zhong Kui frowned, "Hmph, I never thought about you, the beast, and the ability of this battle to make ten thousand ghosts, it's okay, this seat will kill you today, drink and eat!" ”
The black mist condensed into a demon god holding a giant axe, and swung the giant axe to slash at where Zhong Kui was, Zhong Kui threw the long sword in his hand high, and his figure disappeared in a flash, and most of the huge city tower was cut off diagonally.
Behind the Demon God Law Minister, a figure suddenly rose up, golden light shone through, and a huge light sword slashed down in the air, it was Zhong Kui's golden body Law Phase, the evil young man saw this, snorted coldly, showed his body, and melted into the black mist, the Demon God Law Phase instantly turned into the appearance of a strange beast night diaphragm, and when the lightsaber split, he had already flapped his wings and fled.
In the sky near the human gate of the underworld, two huge figures came and went, fighting lively, and there was still a black fog gathering around the human gate.
After a staggered body movement, the night suddenly turned around, and the huge black shadow slammed straight into the tower where the human gate was located.
"You dare!"
Zhong Kui shouted, and the huge law phase began to pinch the trick, and with a few words of Zhong Kui's body in the middle of the law phase, the golden sword that was more than ten zhang huge slammed into the night with lightning speed.
At the moment when the night shadow was about to hit the city tower, the law phase dissipated, and the giant sword immediately crashed into the city tower.
The next moment, the city tower collapsed, and a huge golden vortex appeared in the gap of the city tower, and the evil boy who was affected by the giant sword and fell into the whirlpool spit out a mouthful of blood and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Zhong Kui, for opening the way for me!" Hahaha".
The moment the golden vortex appeared, the surrounding black mist continued to pour in at an even more rapid speed.
Zhong Kui put away the law phase, floated in front of the whirlpool, and shouted angrily: "If anyone dares to approach the former, there will be no mercy!" ”
The black mist paused for a moment as soon as Zhong Kui's words fell, and then began to charge again, especially at a speed that was better than before.
Zhong Kui was completely furious, and kept swinging his sword to split up the black mist that dared to approach the whirlpool, but he couldn't stop the momentum of the black mist rushing forward.
The golden whirlpool is getting bigger and bigger, and what is more terrible is that a new whirlpool is about to be formed, and at the last moment, a huge golden statue of the god fell from the sky, dozens of zhang high, with long hair and shawl, willow eyebrows and big eyes, beautiful facial features and majesty, it was actually a woman.
The moment the idol landed, a little golden aura fell from the center of the statue's eyebrows, and it sank into the whirlpool, and then, the whirlpool gradually disappeared, and a golden barrier appeared in the center of the damaged city tower with the statue as the center, and the black mist close to the idol disappeared.
Zhong Kui knelt on one knee in front of the statue, "Sinner Zhong Kui, welcome the Emperor of Xudu, please treat me for the crime of dereliction of duty"
"It's not your fault that the number of days is like this!"
After the statue of the woman left this sentence, the spiritual light was completely dissipated, turned into a stone statue, and stood in this heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Zhong Kui sat on the ground in a gloomy manner, until the Ten Hall Yamas rushed here.
Whenever the bright moon in the underworld dissipates, the Emperor Xudu will always be weak for three months, during which the strength does not exist for three, not to mention that it is easy to destroy the city and build a city.
Zhong Kui broke the boundary gate, although it was an unintentional mistake, but still not to be spared, the Emperor of Heaven issued a decree, to remove Zhong Kui's divine status, shatter the golden body, the original god with the tomb of the god Taishan Mansion Jun penance, complete the merit before returning to the divine book, and the other ten halls of Yama temporarily take charge of the duties of the Emperor of Xudu.
The ghost pass of the underworld, but the bridgehead.
Zhong Kui Yuanshen stood at the head of the bridge on one side, faintly, uncertain, and beside him stood a middle-aged man in a black robe, holding a pair of glass shackles in his hand.
"Brother Black, I'm not reconciled......"
"If I change it, I won't be reconciled, I was put on a show for no reason, and I can't get back to the field, I can't bear it!"
The dignified ghost patrol made Hei Wuchang fight for Zhong Kui with resentment on his face, but no matter how he looked at it, he looked like he was watching a play without standing and talking.
Zhong Kui's face was full of grievances that had been scarred, "Brother Hei, you're not authentic!" ”
"Why isn't it authentic, I'm old black but I'm fighting for your brother, this matter has to be put on me, if I don't catch that animal back and skin it and cramp, put it in the oil pan and fry him ten or eight times, I won't be black impermanent!"
After Hei Wuchang said these righteous and awe-inspiring words, he deliberately cleared his throat, and did not forget to shake the glass shackles in his hand.
"But I, Zhong Kui, have landed in such a field now... Well... Thank you Black Brother for making it happen! ”
A flash of sword light quickly passed through the ghost pass and went to the world!
Hei Wuchang's face was full of panic, "Brother Zhong, don't you hurt me by doing this...!" ”
"Okay, the drama is too much", a gentle voice came from behind Hei Wuchang.
A gentle woman dressed in a light gauze plain skirt suddenly appeared behind Hei Wuchang, "It's just, just let Brother Zhong leave like this, won't there really be a problem?" What if...", the woman in the white dress looked up at this.
Hei Wuchang turned around and handed the glass shackles to the woman beside him, clanging, "Don't worry, this is also the meaning of the above, the reason why he took the handcuffs of the lock god of the lady to lock the Yuan God was also to scare him, who let him hide the good wine privately, and never give it to me to drink!" ”
The woman in white smiled helplessly, since the couple had become the black and white impermanence that mortals avoided, the friend recognized by the husband was the eldest brother Zhong.
"You two, thousands of years old, all day long, all boring!"
With that, the woman in white turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Hei Wuchang seemed to remember something, "Old Zhong is gone, and he probably won't be able to come back in a short time, so the wine in his house..."
The woman in white rolled her eyes, not planning to pay attention to this husband who was not doing his job.
"Madam, was the key he left with us last time..."
Before Hei Wuchang finished speaking, the woman in white stretched out her left hand, spread her palm, and held a key.
"If you want to take the key, you can drink, and you won't be allowed to go to my bed for ten years!"
Hei Impermanence, who had already picked up the key, put it down in a daze, retracted his hand and wiped it on the clothes on his chest, smiling awkwardly.
"Just kidding, just kidding!"
