Chapter 68: Death
My father once said to me that the meaning of the existence of the nether world is to separate the yang and the underworld, which can be regarded as a buffer zone between the yang and the underworld.
Because the nether world is very special, there have always been people who have been fighting the idea of the netherworld since ancient times, and entering the underworld through the nether realm is the only way to enter the underworld in the flesh.
After Cui Xiaobai launched the spell, I was dizzy and came to the netherworld, which is still the thatched hut where my father is.
My dad sat across from me and said worriedly to me that the barrier between the yang and the nether world had been destroyed, and that the nether world would never be at peace from now on.
After my dad finished speaking, he looked at the oil lamp on the table in a daze, I asked him what was going on, my dad didn't speak, at this moment the door of the thatched hut suddenly opened, my grandfather wore a black robe and walked in from the outside, took off the black robe and hung it behind the door, sat next to me and asked my dad what was going on.
My dad shook his head and said that the things that the ancestors had been trying to protect were messed up in his generation, and the old man sighed and didn't say anything after hearing this.
He didn't wonder why I suddenly appeared here, as if I didn't exist, my dad sighed and asked my grandfather what to do about this, and the old man looked at me with a wry smile and said seriously
"Actually, the ancestors had expected this matter a long time ago, and only our strong son could solve all this."
I was surprised when the old man said this, and my father also looked at me and looked at my old man suspiciously, and the old man touched his bare head and said
"The ancestor of our Liu family calculated that there would be today's catastrophe, and it was very clear that the person who solved all this is also our Liu family, this person has yin and yang and yin
After finishing speaking, the old man looked at me with a strange smile, and when I saw the old man's expression, I suddenly remembered the mysterious little Taoist priest in my subconscious world.
After listening to the old man's words, my dad seemed to be carefully pondering what the old man said, and after a while my dad looked at me again and asked me to tell me what had happened in the yang world recently.
I told them about going to the Northeast, and I talked about the annihilation that Cui Xiaobai used in the Kingdom of God just now, the old man and my father looked at me in surprise after hearing it, the old man stood up and stood behind me and looked at me carefully, and after looking at it for a while, the old man said with a sad face
"My hapless grandson, you are a dead man."
I looked at the old man strangely, and my father, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said to me that if what I just said was exactly a word, I would be dead now.
Because of my family's mission, I didn't go directly to reincarnation and came to the Netherworld, I originally thought that my father dragged me over when I came to the Netherworld just like last time.
I hurriedly asked my dad what to do, my dad looked at my grandfather, my grandpa sighed and muttered something about marrying a daughter-in-law and giving birth to a grandchild or something, my dad sighed helplessly and said to me
"Cui Fujun has a way to help you come back to life, provided that you can contact him now"
I looked at my dad with a wink, I asked him how to get in touch, call him on his mobile phone or send him WeChat, at this moment, the oil lamp on the table suddenly went out without warning, and my dad and my grandfather gasped at the same time.
I asked them what was going on, and my dad said that if the oil lamp went out, it meant that someone else had come in.
After my dad finished speaking, he stood up and put on the black robe hanging behind the door, and after wearing it, he looked back at my grandfather and asked him if he wanted to go with him, and the old man touched his bare head and said that he would not go, stay here and sit down, but he could take me there, and he could be regarded as familiarizing himself with the netherworld.
My dad nodded, took off another black robe from behind the door and threw it at me, telling me to put it on and go with him.
I took the black robe that my dad threw over and put it on my body, there was nothing special about the black robe after I put it on, and after I put it on, my dad opened the door and asked me to go out with him, to be honest, at this moment, all I was thinking about was the fact that I was dying in the kingdom of God, and my mind was not here at all.
My dad seemed to see what I was thinking, and when he was at the door, he said to me don't think too much, everything is a certainty, and people may go through many turns in their lives, but the end will not change, and after saying that, my dad patted me on the shoulder.
After walking out of the thatched house with my dad, I suddenly felt that the nether world was no longer a darkness, but instead a forest, I asked my dad why the nether world became like this, my dad said while walking that this is the original appearance of the netherworld, if you don't wear that black robe, it will still be dark, to put it bluntly, this robe is equivalent to a pass to walk in the netherworld, I followed my dad and walked not far before I came to a towering ancient tree, my dad looked at this big tree and said to me with emotion
"This tree is almost the same age as the Netherworld, and it existed when the Netherworld existed"
I looked up at this towering tree with lush foliage and felt infinite emotion in my heart, and my father also looked up at this tree and said to me lightly
"It is precisely because we have guarded the Netherworld for generations, so the Netherworld cannot be attacked by anyone here in my place, even if we fight for our lives, we must protect the Netherworld"
After my dad finished speaking, he sighed and continued to walk forward, and when my dad was talking just now, I suddenly felt that my dad was like a different person, completely different from what I knew before.
I walked a few steps to catch up with him and asked him what the situation was in the Netherworld now, my dad said as he walked and said that it was not clear yet, but before I came, he could clearly feel that the seal of the Netherworld had been forcibly broken, and he didn't know to what extent it was damaged.
I followed my dad to the sealing place he said, and the sealing place in my dad's mouth should be the border of the nether realm according to my understanding.
From a distance, you can clearly see that there is a plastic film at the edge of the thing shining with colorful light, a big hole is broken in the middle of the plastic film, and some black gas is pouring into the netherworld, seeing this scene my dad ran to the broken place, and I followed behind, and after a while the two of us came to the damaged place, and my dad said loudly to the damaged place
"I'm the guardian of the Netherworld, and I hope you don't insist on breaking into the Netherworld, if you insist on breaking in, don't blame me for hurting people."
Not only did the black gas pouring into the broken place not stop at all, but the black gas poured in much faster than before, my dad sighed, took off his black robe and threw it on the ground, closed his eyes and quickly sealed his hands, muttering some words in his mouth that I didn't understand.
That is, after more than ten seconds, my dad's hand suddenly opened his eyes, and the moment my dad opened his eyes, I felt a very powerful aura descending on me, and the sudden appearance of this breath made me have a deep fear, which is deep in the bone marrow.
I guess that's how the mouse felt when he saw the cat, and I suddenly saw a phantom in gold armor around me, and the phantom changed from virtual to solid at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became a general in gold armor.
General Jin Jia seemed very impatient, and asked my father angrily
"Little cub of the Liu family, is there anything big about calling Uncle Ben out? If there is no big event, Uncle Ben will eat you."
My dad smiled and saluted General Jin Jia and pointed to the broken part of the seal, and General Jin Jia looked at the broken part and grinned to my dad
"Meaningless, these miscellaneous pieces are not enough for me to stuff between my teeth"
After General Jin Jia rushed over, I asked my dad who this person was, and my dad looked at me in the distance and said to me that this person was the Huang Chao we learned in our history textbooks
I was shocked after listening to my dad, this is the cannibal demon king recorded in the official history, it is difficult not to remember him, my dad saw my surprised expression and told me about the Yellow Nest, the Yellow Nest Massacre, slaughtered millions of ordinary people in the southern coastal area, after the death of the Yellow Nest, even the ten halls of the king of Hades had no way to take him, and finally let him assist my family to guard the netherworld, which can be regarded as a meritorious service.
I saw that Huang Chao had a posture of being a man and a man at the broken place of the seal, and the black gas that poured in was swallowed into his stomach by him, and Huang Chao stood in the broken place and shouted with pleasure.
I asked my dad what the black gas was, and my dad said that these black gases were all lonely souls and wild ghosts who took the opportunity to enter the bardo world, these are small shrimps, and the real big fish are about to appear.
Not long after my dad finished speaking, I felt another violent vibration from the seal, my dad frowned and looked at the broken seal, and saw a huge black shadow coming in from the outside, Huang Chao saw that the black shadow was also a little puzzled, stopped to look at the huge black shadow, and after looking at it for a few seconds, he suddenly made a move to fight with the huge black shadow.
My dad sighed and said that it is not a way to go on like this, I have to find a way to repair the seal, I asked him how to repair it, my dad smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't know, because this kind of thing had never happened, he had already conveyed the matter here to the Ten Hall Hades through a special channel, and it would not be long before that side would give him instructions.
Huang Chao and the black shadow fought for about 5 minutes, and the black shadow was swallowed into the stomach by the yellow nest, and the broken seal temporarily returned to calm, and there was no longer a black shadow pouring in.
Huang Chao sat on the ground, at this time my dad we walked forward to observe the damage, I asked my dad what is the place outside, my dad shook his head and said it is not clear, but it is definitely the yang world, because the function of this seal is to isolate the yang world and the nether world, my dad's voice just fell from the distance came from the sound of horses' hooves, my dad looked into the distance and said to me
"The people of the Ten Halls of Hades are coming"
The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and after a while, three people who were also wearing black robes and masks came to the seal, and the three of them turned over and dismounted and saluted my dad with fists.
Huang Chao, who was sitting on the side, also stood up and saluted the three people, the three people walked to the broken seal to check the damage, the three of them looked at it a few times and recited a spell together to cast a spell to repair the seal, and about ten minutes or so later, the three people completed the repair.
Turned to my dad and said that they had repaired the seal temporarily, and what to do next, they had to go back and ask the king of the ten halls of Hades, and after saying that, we hugged our fists goodbye and turned over and left.
After the three of them left, my dad recited the same incantation as before, and took back the yellow nest, my dad looked at the seal, sighed, picked up the black robe on the ground, and led me back to the thatched house.
I didn't expect that the three people sent by the Ten Halls of Yama could repair the seal so quickly, and on the way back, my father and I didn't speak, although I was full of doubts to ask, but I didn't know where to start.
When I returned to the thatched house, I found that my grandfather was no longer there, the oil lamp on the table was back on, and there was a faint light on the table, my dad and I took off our black robes and sat on the table, I asked the old man where he went, and my dad said that it should be anti-yang.
I asked my dad who the three people who came just now, and my dad said that he was the subordinates of the Ten Palaces Hades, and only they could freely shuttle between the netherworld and the underworld, and I asked him what I should do now, because the oil lamp on the table went out halfway through this question, and my dad thought for a while and said that he had no choice but to send my soul out of the nether world and back to the yang world to figure out a way by himself.
My dad paused at this point and told me that there were only 24 hours, and if 24 hours didn't solve the problem, I would have to go to reincarnation.
After listening to my dad, I asked him if there was any other way, my dad shook his head and said that there is no way to do it, there is no way in the netherworld in life and death, only Cui Xiaobai has a way in the world, so he wants to send me back to the yang world to find Cui Xiaobai, I am the direct leader of Cui Xiaobai, he will definitely find a way, after saying that, my dad looked at the oil lamp and said to me
"Our Liu family has too many secrets, it's not that I don't tell you, but these things are too important, I can't tell you before you become very powerful, lest these secrets leak out, maybe your death this time is also an opportunity for you, how to look at your personal creation"
My dad didn't wait for me to say anything and waved at me, and I felt dizzy and fainted.
When I regained consciousness again, I found myself in my family's shroud shop, Zhang Han and Nini were napping listlessly in the store, Nini immediately felt something strange after I appeared in the shroud shop, and walked towards my position and looked at me curiously, Zhang Han also looked at me after finding Nini's strange appearance, Nini opened her mouth and asked me
"Liu Qiang?"
I wanted to answer her but couldn't say anything, Zhang Han walked up to Nini and asked with concern
"Is it you, husband?"
I nodded desperately, but the two of them seemed to be invisible, Zhang Han seemed to realize something, ran to the counter, took out a few talismans from the drawer, found a lighter, lit a talisman Zhang Han looked at me and cried, and ran over to me
"What's wrong with you, husband, how did you become like this?"
I still couldn't say anything, Zhang Han lit a few other talismans and said to me
"If you have anything you need to do, hurry up and say, the mana of this talisman is limited"
After the talisman in Zhang Han's hand was burned, I felt a lot more comfortable in my throat, and the feeling was like the feeling of drinking a few drops of water when I was very thirsty, I coughed and hurriedly said to Zhang Han and Nini
"Hurry up and find Cui Xiaobai, I only have 24 hours"
Zhang Han nodded anxiously and asked me what was going on, I told him that I was dead, but Cui Xiaobai had a way to make me return to Yang.
