Chapter Ninety-One: On the other side of the River Styx, eternal darkness, creatures of the underworld

In the Netherworld, the ghost story spreads the fastest......

The mountains are bare, in the dark and lightless netherworld, the crevices of these barren mountains and mountains are permeated with blood-red magma, these magma emitting dark red light, illuminating a little faint light, the ground under their feet is scorched black, and the group walked for a while only to find that the netherworld is not completely desolate and dead.

A large black river meanders through the mountains, and its banks are full of blood-red flowers.

These blood-red strange flowers shone slightly, and the light of each plant was not dazzling, but when they gathered together, a blood-red river was spread along the banks of the black river, and a sea of flowers converged.

"The water of this river is the Yellow Spring...... "The Blood Slaughter Demon Lord said quietly: "The flowers blooming on both sides are the flowers on the other side." ”

"Biluo Yellow Spring has a strange purification ability, it can wash away almost all filth, and anything that falls into it will be assimilated by Biluo Yellow Spring, so don't look at this river as inconspicuous, in fact, it is extremely dangerous."

"This river, which is formed by the convergence of the Yellow Springs and meanders through most of the Netherworld, is the River Styx!"

"The Styx of the Styx Ancestor!"

The Immortal Sect Master also solemnly warned: "The purifying power of the Biluo Yellow Spring can purify the most complicated, filthy, and stubborn entanglements in the world, that is, the cause and effect of all beings, love and hatred, and the eight sufferings of the world, and everything that falls into it will be forgotten and purified, and it will return to the purest time of living beings......"

"In the imagination of the Demon Ancestor, there should be no reincarnation in the world, there should only be the River Styx and the Yin Earth, and the souls of all living beings fall into the River Styx, and under the washing of the Biluo Yellow Spring, all cause and effect will be washed away, and the purest soul essence will be returned, and then sleep in the Yin Earth, decomposed, nurtured, and reborn little by little!"

"Their memories, love and hate, cause and effect, all unwilling things flow away with the Biluo Yellow Spring, those unforgettable things, those love and hatred nourish the flowers on the shore, and turn into the most beautiful scenery in the world."

"It was mentioned in the Demon Ancestor's notes that at that time, what the Demon Ancestor wanted most was to travel across such a sea of flowers, appreciate all the loves, hatreds, and hatreds in the world, and then walk into the River Styx and let it slowly fade away......"

"It's a pity that Hou Tu Niang Niang didn't appreciate the idea of the old man of the Demon Ancestor, so the Styx opened up by the Demon Ancestor became a thing that washed the soul of the world that came here...... Hou Tu Niang Niang is a god after all...... She was too sympathetic to the fear of death for sentient beings to withstand their sincere prayers for the afterlife they created. In the end, he still turned his face with the Demon Ancestor, and still opened up reincarnation. ”

"It's a pity! What Hou Tu Niangniang originally wanted was to create a peaceful, quiet home and a beautiful dream for all sentient beings. ”

"In Hou Tu Niangniang's view, death should be like going home to sleep, beautiful and quiet, the warmest thing in the world."

"But it's a pity that all living beings have never been able to get rid of the fear of death, Hou Tu Niang Niang defeated the demon born because of their fear, and wanted to enslave the soul of the god of all beings, in the distant unspeakable era, Hou Tu Niang Niang Niang does not represent death and the belonging of the soul, she is just the earth god, is the mother of the earth who raises all beings."

"It is precisely because of her compassion for all beings that she killed a group of ghosts and gods that symbolize death, defeated the great terror, the great darkness, and the great strange evil gods and demons, and then defeated a group of gods who wanted to take advantage of the fear of death of all beings, enslave their souls, open up the so-called kingdom of God and heaven, clean up the chaotic capital of lonely souls and wild ghosts, and create a peaceful, eternal, and quiet home for all beings."

"Demon Ancestor appreciates ......"

"Originally, the Demon Ancestor was willing to help Hou Tu Niang Niang create such a soul home, and the Demon Ancestor believed that such a death was definitely the supreme happiness of living beings...... It's a pity that Houtu Niangniang is a god...... Her compassion for all beings, her love, ultimately limited her. All beings are too afraid to perish! ”

"They prayed to Hou Tu Niang Niang day and night for continuation, their fear, did not disappear in that peaceful and peaceful darkness, but their fear continued to breed the gods and demons in the dark, and the dark capital continued to give birth to those extremely distorted and evil monsters, disturbing the sleep of the soul, although there were a group of yin gods to help Hou Tu Niang Niang clean up these ghosts and gods, but Niang Niang still chose to understand the fear of all beings."

"So Niang Niang opened up reincarnation and created an afterlife for all beings!"

"The Demon Ancestor hated that iron could not be made of steel, and believed that reincarnation was completely destroying the beautiful and peaceful afterlife...... So he went into the netherworld angrily, came to reincarnation, and questioned reincarnation with nine questions...... This is the Nine Questions of the Netherworld. ”

"This is the story of the River Styx and the Flower Beyond...... Then the reincarnation is constantly deteriorating and being distorted, and the Demon Ancestor and the Hou Tu Niang Niang both want to give the souls of all beings a peaceful home, but in order to continue, the sentient beings choose to be played with willingly...... So samsara is constantly distorted, filled with restlessness, self-righteous morality, impetuous interests, and immortal greed. ”

"In the end, the Demon Ancestor was disgusted with this place, his will was no longer flowing with the River Styx on the Netherworld, his will returned to the sea of blood, coldly watching all that happened in reincarnation, ridiculous, noisy, restless, chaotic...... Farce. ”

"Until one day, he can't see this farce anymore, and he sweeps everything up and destroys the underworld!"

The Blood Slaughter Demon Lord was faintly telling the ancient story of the Demon Dao, while waiting for something, the Immortal Sect Master knelt down by the River Styx, chanting something in an obscure and difficult demon language, the ancient and obscure language, in line with the mysterious rhythm, as if it was poetry and sacrifice from the oldest era, the sound of the story and sacrifice intertwined, as if touching the laws of the underworld.

made Bai Suzhen on the side feel terrified and frightened......

She subconsciously hugged the thin little body of Shepherd Boy Jun, a little afraid, scared and slightly excited to look at the two Demon Dao Daojun, afraid because of the prophecy of the Demon Ancestor in the story to destroy the underworld at every turn, and excited because she knew the amazing secrets of the two big people of Houtu Niangniang and the Styx Demon Ancestor.

Although I don't know if these ancient stories are the blowing of the devil's way, or if they are secret and unknowable ancient history.

But Bai Suzhen was still looking forward to and excited......

As the demon words in the mouth of the Immortal Sect Master became deeper and deeper, and there were abnormal fluctuations in the River Styx, Wukong was impatient waiting next to him, and only then did a small boat float from the upstream, and Bai Suzhen was almost suffocated with nervousness! The taboo in the underworld, in the Styx River, where the most mysterious blue yellow spring in the innate true water flows, actually floated a small boat.

It's so horrible and weird.

The River Styx, which no one spends, even the River Styx, which can only be crossed by the Innate Spirit Treasure Bridge, no evil ghosts and gods dare to fall into, the offensive River Styx, symbolizing the laws of the underworld, on the River Styx, which flows through ancient times, accompanied by ancient magic words, an unmanned boat floats from upstream.

The descendants of the two demon paths, with the oldest ritual texts, summoned a mysterious boat to break into reincarnation on it.

This is the most unspeakable taboo of the Netherworld. It's going to be a legend......

Wukong jumped lightly, stepped on the boat, reached out and grabbed a handful of black coins on his body, and pressed them into the stake of the tether on the bow of the boat.

"What do you see, two yuan on the boat, and another ten yuan when you cross the bridge! Pay for it yourself! ”

Bai Suzhen's eyes widened instantly!

"Coin-opticated?"

Blood Slaughter and Wusheng exchanged a look, and said secretly: "This guy is really not simple, the Styx ferries are so familiar with the road, more familiar than us......"

Blood Slaughter also stepped on the boat, stuffed a few black coins into his hand, and explained to Bai Suzhen in the back: "Money is Yin Virtue Money, you only need to silently contemplate it, you can attract a trace of Yin Virtue Spiritual Light in yourself, and with the help of the Heavenly Dao of the Netherworld, you can condense into this kind of Yin Virtue Money...... Yin virtue money is the currency of the underworld, which can be used to accumulate success and become a god, and the god is returned to the yang in an upright manner, which is the only way to resurrect the underworld. ”

"Therefore, it is very formal, and it is the currency issued by the Heavenly Court."

"The second is incense money...... It is the condensation of the will of all beings, and it has infinite uses, especially in the hands of God, which is considered hard currency...... In addition, there are also blessing money issued by Buddhism, super-drawn money issued by Xuanmen, and yin money circulated in small amounts as a lower currency among ghosts, these money are not cheap and useless. ”

"Especially yin money, it is a little wish, plus the condensation of yin qi, ghosts can be used to fill the stomach."

Wukong shook his head and said: "Those blessing money issued by the forces of Buddhism and Xuanmen, and they don't use it in their own homes, only two big money villages are in operation, one is the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, and the other is Taiyi Tianzun who saves suffering...... Needless to say, these two kinds of money are issued by them! ”

"That's all they have to do...... Don't engage in any financial innovation, use yin and virtue money in a down-to-earth manner, produced by the emperor, hard currency, and no depreciation. ”

"There are still some small gods and small forces behind the Xuanmen Buddhism, and they are also engaged in financial innovation, but often the last batch of ghosts have not been reincarnated, and they are screwed. These people who are engaged in the currency circle have ruined the reputation of the money law in the underworld. ”

"The new ghosts who are coming down now all say that inflation is terrible!"

"In fact, the money method in the underworld is still promising, I am going to use the big peach tree in Yinshan as the principal to engage in mortgage issuance, I have calculated that the big peach tree can bear 3,000 peaches every year, which is of great help to the ghosts and gods! It's just that because the gods are guarding the fortress, and there is a divine tiger that feeds on ghosts under the tree, no ghosts can eat it. ”

"But I have a way to get that batch of peaches!"

"I'm going to use this as the principal to ask him Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun to borrow a batch of incense and operate my Wukong coin...... How about it, are you interested? ”

"Peach mortgage?" Blood Slaughter shook his head like a wheel and secretly slandered to himself: "This is not a monkey, the peach mortgage has a ghost use!" ”

Bai Suzhen also looked respectful and insensitive, and said in a low voice: "Great Sage, the little demon is not dead yet...... This money in the underworld, the little demon slowly saves in the yang world, it is ......"

"The ghost is speculating on coins!" Yuan Yu sneered: "You Wukong coin, let's sell it to the ghost!" It's a ghost to be able to deceive a ghost! ”

The shepherd boy lay on the bow of the boat, watching the boat sail along the Styx River through the Ten Thousand Black Mountains, and gradually entered the Stygian Plains, many villages are full of shadows, scattered on both sides of the Styx, but those ghosts seem to be very afraid of the Styx, although the village is close to the two banks, the ghosts are unwilling to easily approach the sea of flowers on the other side.

The shepherd boy could only see those thin shadows from afar......

As the boat deepened, more and more strange ghosts appeared in front of them, some blue ghosts that were low and only up to the lower legs of people, ghosts with horns on their heads, and more and more ghosts appeared, leopard tails, beaks, fish gills, wasps, and big ghosts with blue faces and fangs, ghosts like mandrills, and mountain ghosts that rode red beavers to glimpse in shock.

There are also ox-headed and horse-faced ones...... Half-human, half-beast, bald and fanged, extremely peculiar and eccentric.

Shepherd Boy Jun exclaimed, "Are these all ghosts? ”

"I thought ghosts were the same as they were in life!"

The Blood Slayer Demon Lord shook his head and said, "They are the ghost clan...... It's a creature of hell, not a soul! ”

"Are there any creatures in the underworld?" Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment, feeling how strange the creatures in the underworld listened to.

"As mentioned before, the living soul's fear of death has created twisted monsters in the darkness of the Netherland...... These creatures are the descendants of souls and monsters, in the final analysis, it is still something that the Demon Ancestor and his old man came up with, involving one of the Nine Questions of the Netherworld, when the Demon Ancestor and Hou Tu Niangniang were arguing, they used the demons and the dead to create creatures that could reproduce in the underworld. ”

"Hou Tu Niang couldn't bear to seal them in the Great Freedom Heaven, so let them thrive in the underworld."

"In the end, it became a world of ghosts...... Fortunately, although they have a long lifespan, they only have yin longevity and no yang longevity, and their reproductive ability is extremely poor...... So it's good that there is no flooding. ”
