Chapter 216: I Didn't Hear About It
The city of Xudu is vast and boundless, and even the entire mountain of Xudu Mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles, is included in it, and it is the core of the power of the entire underworld.
Legend has it that King Yama was the first person to die in mankind, and after his death, he took on the task of finding where people went after death, and finally found the entrance to another world in the old world, which is now the underworld.
After that, the nine people who died became the deceased, and they shared their names with the king of Yama and became the ten halls of Yama. Together, they created the underworld and presided over the cycle of life and death.
Because after that, there were more and more people, and more and more people died as ghosts, so there were later four judges, seventy-two divisions, etc., and the system of the underworld was gradually established.
However, before King Yama, Hades was not uninhabited. Before the city was built, there was already a mountain mountain, and there was a mountain god in this mountain, and he was originally the lord of this underworld. The king of Yama rectified the underworld, and the mountain gods of the mountain also played a great role.
And this mountain god is the later Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty.
Later, the king of Yama took control of the underworld, and because of his soft heart, he released a lot of souls to return to the yang, causing chaos in the yin and yang worlds. As a result, the Heavenly Dao sent down punishment, and King Yama was demoted to the second hall of the underworld, and King Qin Guang was promoted to the first hall of the underworld. However, since then, the Ten Halls of Yama are no longer the core of power in the underworld.
Heavenly Dao handed over the rights to the Emperor of the Northern Yin Xudu, and in order to prevent the Emperor of the Northern Yin Xudu from having a situation similar to that of the King of Yama, he set up the Five Ghost Emperors under the Emperor of the Northern Yin Xudu. The combined efforts of the five ghost emperors can impeach the Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty. However, these ghost emperors of the five directions are also the original mountain gods in the underworld, and they originally only governed the mountains of the five directions, which was inherently incompatible. In order to win them over, Heavenly Dao had to seal Luo Yu for six days to coordinate the relationship between them.
In the underworld, in addition to these rulers, there is another one who can even surpass the Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty. This person is the Emperor of Dongyue.
Dongyue the Great was originally the god of Mount Tai.
It is the righteous god who has been enshrined by the Heavenly Dao, the respect of the five mountains, and has a very high status. In order to be able to completely control the underworld in his own hands, Tiandao made Dongyue the Great Emperor the supreme ruler of the underworld. His god position is higher than that of the Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty, but he is not actually very involved in the affairs of the underworld, and he also lives in the Taishan Temple, not the power center of the underworld.
After the accident.
Emperor Dongyue once came to help and helped the Emperor of Northern Yin Xudu to quell the rebellion. However, now that the rebellion has been put down, he has also returned to Tarzan.
The demon dragon came to Xudu, and his purpose was to make the Emperor Xudu.
And this path is not only the retreat he chose for himself, but also the beginning of his conspiracy.
Asked all the way to the mansion of the Emperor Xudu, and the magic dragon rushed all the way. The mansion of the Emperor Xudu, on the Xudu Mountain, he went all the way up the mountain, although he passed through countless checkpoints, but as long as he raised his eyes, those Yin soldiers and ghost generals would obediently get out of the way. When he came to the mansion of the Emperor Xudu, he smiled coldly and said, "Lin Yi, I want to see, I have become the lord of the underworld, what are you fighting with me!" ”
After leaving Longyuan County, he immediately opened the Yin and Yang Road and went to the underworld.
He didn't go anywhere else, but went directly to Xudu.
He knew that something big was going to happen to him.
In addition to him, there is also Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui was entrusted by me and rushed all the way to Laojieling. He searched in the mountains for a while, and then he saw an old man standing in front of a mountain temple.
When Zhong Kui saw it, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, are you the grandfather of Sect Master Lin?" ”
Standing in front of the mountain temple was not my grandfather, but Niu Da Huang, he smiled slightly and said, "I am not the grandfather of Yiwa, the grandfather of Yiwa is in the mountain temple." Presumably you are Zhong Kui Heavenly Master, Yiwa's grandfather has been waiting for you in the mountain temple for a long time, he is inconvenient and unable to go out of the mountain temple, please forgive me. ”
Zhong Kui nodded, and immediately followed Niu Rhubarb into the mountain temple.
When Zhong Kui entered the mountain temple and saw my grandfather, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Is it you?" ”
"Yes, it's me." My grandfather said with a slight smile.
"How could you...... Come here to be a mountain god? Zhong Kui asked, he seemed to recognize my grandfather, but my grandfather said, "Heavenly Master, this is not important. I know that you must have something important to tell you when you come, but I wonder why you are here? ”
Zhong Kui immediately told my grandfather about the Styx's dispatch of troops to the Wutong Ancient Land. When my grandfather heard this, he asked again: "It was Lin Yi, this kid, who bothered the Heavenly Master to deliver the message, right?" ”
"Yes, I am indeed entrusted by Sect Master Lin." Zhong Kui said.
"This kid, in fact, doesn't have to be like this. Heavenly Master, I know what Lin Yi means, he wants you to leave the underworld completely and become his helper. My grandfather said.
"What do you mean?" Zhong Kui didn't quite understand my grandfather's words.
"The Heavenly Master shouldn't know about the existence of the Little Netherworld, right?" My grandfather asked again.
"Little Hades, is there a second Hades in this world? If this little underworld really exists, isn't it an existence that violates the laws of the underworld? How can the Heavenly Dao tolerate it? Zhong Kui asked, he obviously didn't know about the affairs of the underworld.
As soon as my grandfather saw Zhong Kui's reaction, he understood my good intentions. The reason why Zhong Kui came to my grandfather instead of going directly to the underworld to transfer troops is here. Zhong Kui has a straightforward personality, jealousy and hatred, and it is not easy to really accept it for his own use.
Give it to my grandfather, I'm more sure.
"In the small underworld, there is also the king of Hades, and there are also 100,000 Yin soldiers. Moreover, there are many souls and ghosts in the lower reaches of the world, and the power of the small underworld is still growing......"
Grandpa was only halfway through speaking, and Zhong Kui asked, "Where is the little underworld you said?" In this way, we must report to the king of Hades in the underworld and deal with this matter quickly! ”
"Heavenly Master doesn't need to be in a hurry, listen to me slowly. I believe that the existence of the underworld is not what the Heavenly Master thinks. First, the small underworld accommodates wandering spirits and wild ghosts and trains Yin soldiers, not to endanger the world. On the contrary, it is to save the people of the yang world from fire and water. Heavenly Master, you should be aware of it, over the years, how many wandering souls and wild ghosts in the yang world, and how many living people have been violated by wandering ghosts and died? ”
"Second, if one or two wandering souls and wild ghosts harm people, they will be killed. However, what should the 200,000, 300,000 people do, kill them all? ”
"Third, Master Zhong Kui should know the merchant of the underworld. Like him, you are all trying to rid the world of evil spirits and evil spirits, but where do evil spirits come from? It's not that the underworld is negligent in management, and after death, the soul is uncontrolled, wanders around, and eventually becomes an evil ghost. ”
"Heavenly Master, I think that Lin Yi arranged it this way because he wanted the Heavenly Master to lead the little underworld Yin soldiers to the Wutong Ancient Land to rescue the Phoenix clan. I don't know what the Heavenly Master wants? My grandfather asked.
Zhong Kui couldn't help frowning when he heard these words. He naturally knew if it was right or not, but he also knew what it would mean if he really took the Yin Soldiers to fight against the Styx!
This means that he has completely rebelled against Hades!
Although he was already extremely dissatisfied with the underworld, it was a matter of principle.
"Heavenly Master, this is Lin Yi's invitation to you, however, you have the right to make your own choice. No matter what your choice is, whether it is me or Lin Yi, they are still friends of the Heavenly Master. Grandpa said.
After thinking for a while, Zhong Kui said again: "The matter of Wutong Ancient Land is a conspiracy, I will go to the underworld and try my best to persuade Styx to retreat." However, I will not be able to lead an army against the River Styx. ”
After Zhong Kui said this, he walked towards the gate of the mountain temple.
However, before he left, he said: "I have never heard of the affairs of the underworld!" ”
"Thank you, Heavenly Master!" Grandpa said.
Zhong Kui also gave up, didn't say anything, and left the mountain temple.
After Zhong Kui left, Grandpa sighed slightly and said, "What should come will come after all, the two worlds of yin and yang are going to change." ”
After finishing speaking, the grandfather turned around and asked Niu Da Huangdao: "Old Niu, is the matter of the red-haired family enough for a long time?" ”
Niu Rhubarb counted it and said, "After a hundred days of incense, today is just enough!" ”
"Okay, you can arrange to carry their coffins back to the village. The next thing you should know what to do, it's all up to you! Grandpa said.
"Don't worry, I'll do it." After Niu Rhubarb finished speaking, he walked out of the mountain temple.
