Chapter 147: The Chaotic Underworld
After listening to the punishment, he lowered his head and thought for a while, but did not immediately agree, because he did not know if he was really capable of helping the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
"Bodhisattva, you and the Ten Halls of Yama are both administrators of the underworld, why don't you stop their fighting, but let them mess around?" Shi Xing looked up and looked at King Jizo, hoping for an explanation.
King Jizo smiled and looked at King Qin Guang, who immediately understood, and said to Shi Xing, "I'll talk to you about this matter." ”
It turns out that there are many insurmountable rules in the underworld, the ten halls of the king of Yama belong to the administrator of the underworld, is the priesthood, and the king of the earth Bodhisattva takes refuge in Buddhism, is the Buddha, several ghost emperors are made of ghosts cultivated for 10,000 years, even if they are called emperors, they are still ghosts, gods, ghosts and Buddhas are different worlds, just like people and ghosts have different paths, if it is not for one party to disturb the purity of the other party, the three parties are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the other party.
And the reason why several ghost emperors agreed to the proposal of the Jizo King Bodhisattva was not only to respect the status of the Jizo King in the underworld or to admire his deeds and merits, but most importantly, they received the instructions of the person above not to make too much trouble.
"The people above? Who else can control the Ghost Emperor? Shi Xing was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Of course, you won't think that this underworld is really managed by our Ten Halls Yama and the Five Ghost Emperors, in fact, the entire underworld belongs to one person."
"Who?" Shi Xing was a little curious.
"Emperor Xudu." Liudao looked at Shi Xing and spoke slowly.
"Emperor Xudu?" Shi Xing looked at everyone curiously.
King Qin Guang nodded, indicating that what the Six Dao said was not wrong.
In ancient legends, there is an absolute administrator in the underworld, that is, the Emperor Xudu, according to legend, the Emperor Xudu was born with the underworld, and the two were young.
Emperor Xudu is the highest position of the gods of the underworld, and is in charge of all the ghosts in the underworld. All living beings and the like are sent to hell after death, and their souls are all under the jurisdiction of Emperor Xudu, who kills ghosts and punishes ghosts for the sins they committed during their lifetime.
And below the Emperor Xudu, there are the Ghost Emperor and the Ten Palaces Hades, and finally the judges and the ghosts with a large number of people.
After Shi Xing understood, he nodded, "In that case, why didn't Emperor Xudu meddle in this matter?" ”
The Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth smiled and cleared the confusion of the punishment, "This matter has to be talked about the Emperor Xudu himself, because a long time ago, when the Five Ghost Emperors were born, they did not have the permission of the Emperor Xudu, and the Emperor Xudu knew that once these ghost emperors made a big fuss, the ghosts of the entire underworld would be persecuted, so the Emperor Xudu at that time made a decision, that is, to set up the position of the Five Ghost Emperors, whoever has the ability will sit, but it can't make too much trouble and destroy the peace of the underworld." ”
"Oh, that's why one of these ghost emperors killed Du Ziren without any scruples, wanting to snatch the southern territory, all of which was allowed by Emperor Xudu."
"That's right."
"So what now, what should I do."
"We don't have the intention of interfering in the struggle of several ghost emperors, just to protect the underworld, so we hope that you can use the holy relic of Wu Ji Tianmen's holy relic, the sand of time, to open up an independent space for several fighting ghost emperors."
"That's it?" Shi Xing is a little curious, wouldn't it be too simple if this was the case.
Jizo King Bodhisattva shook his head, "Of course it's not just that, the ghost emperors who can participate in the battle according to the agreement are all law-abiding, but I'm worried that there will be that kind of ghost emperor with bad intentions, and when other ghost emperors are fighting, they will break into Du Ziren's territory and snatch the management of the south." ”
King Jizo Bodhisattva paused and continued, "Actually, this is also the idea of Emperor Xudu, because he thinks that the murderer of Du Ziren must be a sinister person, how can he really participate in the battle, he will definitely take advantage of that time to forcibly take away the territory." ”
"You mean, we have made a game that kills two birds with one stone, on the one hand, we can elect the next Southern Ghost Emperor through a fair fight. On the other hand, use the empty city to lure out the murderer behind the scenes and punish this person? ”
Jizo King Bodhisattva nodded, "That's right, you can brutally kill a ghost emperor, which shows that this person is ruthless, and his strength is definitely not low, but we haven't found it now, which shows that this person is very good at hiding and forbearing, and staying in the underworld is a disaster after all." ”
"Okay, I see, what should I do next."
The Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth summoned Di Ting, who had been lying beside the six realms, "The next thing, Di Ting will take the two of you to the city of Xudu, and after meeting the Emperor of Xudu, then make another plan." ”
King Qin Guang on the side saw that the matter had been almost discussed, so he stood forward, walked to the door, and prepared to leave, "Since the matter has been decided here, then I won't stay longer, so I'll go back first." ”
Seeing that King Qin Guang was about to leave, Shi Xing immediately stood up, "Lord Qin Guang, Tingting's matter is entrusted to you." ”
King Qin Guang shook his head with a smile, "Shi Xing, in fact, we asked you, the rules can't be broken, we can only ask you, but don't worry, I will definitely bring that girl back to you completely." ”
After speaking, Shi Xing watched King Qin Guang leave until he disappeared.
Looking at Shi Xing, who was still a little worried, Jizo King Bodhisattva smiled, "Shi Xing, don't worry, what I promised you, he will definitely do it." ”
Shi Xing nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, then let's go too, to be honest, I haven't been to the capital city yet, and I'm curious." ”
"Haha, it's okay, when things are done, you can play as much as you want."
After saying goodbye to the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, Shi Xing and the Six Paths followed behind Di Ting, running all the way, traveling thousands of miles a day.
Because there is no day and night in the underworld, it has always been a gloomy state of the sunset, and I don't know how long I have been running, and finally in front of a barren sandy land, I found a huge city standing tall, which is the largest city in the underworld, and it is also the place where the Emperor of Xudu lives, Xudu City.
Rushed to the gate of the city, and the figures came and went became more and more, going in and out, so lively.
On both sides of the city gate, several ghosts were sticking to their posts, carefully checking the passes on the people entering the city one by one, at this time, one of the ghosts suddenly found the coming Di Ting, immediately let go of the people who were checking, and walked over respectfully, "I didn't expect Lord Di Ting to come here, and it was a long way to go." ”
Di Ting shook his head very humanely, and opened his mouth to speak, "It's okay, today I came to visit Emperor Xudu with two distinguished guests, you should be busy with other things." “
As soon as Di heard this, the ghost cha immediately stepped out of the way, "Okay, my lord, please go this way." ”
Di Ting nodded, turned around and greeted Shi Xing and Liudao, raised his legs and walked into the city.
When I walked into the city, I was immediately shocked by the scene in front of me, I thought that even the largest ghost town should be deserted and unpopular, but who would have thought that the scene in front of me was completely different from his own impression.
On the streets, pedestrians come and go very crowded, and the shops along the streets are also thriving and overcrowded, and even some vendors who set up stalls are also full of people, shouting loudly to attract customers and bargain.
