Chapter 1143: The Seven Demon Emperors (I)
Hearing His Majesty King Yama say this, I can say that all of us were extremely shocked.
I didn't expect the situation in the Netherworld to be so complicated, the legend is that the Ten Halls Yan Jun, who is in charge of the power of the Netherworld and the cycle of life and death, has a weak control over the entire Netherworld to this extent.
Seventy-seven ghost emperors who are on an equal footing with the Ten Hall Yan Jun, if calculated according to this ratio, the Ten Hall Yan Jun does not even have the right to speak in the Netherworld Mansion by two percent!
Doesn't this mean that the entire underworld has the right to speak, and it is basically under the control of the Jizo King Bodhisattva?
After the Great War of the Gods, didn't the Daomen side and the Buddhist side agree together to take charge of the Netherworld and determine the order of the cycle of life and death?
However, according to what His Majesty King Yama said, the Buddhist side occupies an absolute dominant position in the Netherworld, and the Daomen side is simply weak to the point of negligibility.
Thinking about this, I confirmed with His Majesty King Yama whether this was really the case?
I saw me ask His Majesty the King of Yama and said, "Your Majesty, the position of the Yin God of your Ten Halls of Yama is sealed by the Heavenly Dao, and it is recognized by the two of the Three Heavenly Venerables and the Buddha Gate, and the seventy-seven Ghost Emperors should not be qualified to sit on an equal footing with you, right?" ”
Hearing my words, His Majesty King Yama shook his head helplessly and said, "Nominally, this is the case, but those seventy-seven ghost emperors only recognize the Bodhisattva King of the Earth, and they have never taken our Ten Halls Yama in their eyes?" ”
"For the seventy-seven ghost emperors, the entire Netherworld is honored by the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and our ten halls of Yan Jun are just for the Jizo King Bodhisattva."
Looking at the helpless expression on His Majesty's face, I continued to ask, "If those seventy-seven ghost emperors don't take your Ten Halls Yama in their eyes, and have the support of the Jizo King Bodhisattva behind them, wouldn't it be that the entire Netherworld will be under the control of their side?" ”
Because we have a considerable relationship between the Jiang clan and the Ten Palaces Yan Jun, and the Ten Palaces Yan Jun and our Jiang clan belong to the same Dao Sect side, when I speak, I naturally regard me as a person from the side of the Ten Palaces Yan Jun.
However, when he heard my words, Master Juehui, who was a disciple of Buddhism, looked a little unnatural on his face.
His Majesty King Yama may have also realized this, so before speaking, he deliberately glanced at Master Juehui.
Then His Majesty the King of Yama snorted coldly and said: "Although the seventy-seven ghost emperors under the command of the King of the Earth and the Bodhisattva do not take our Ten Halls of Yan Jun in their eyes, but after all, our Ten Halls of Yan Jun are recognized by the three great Heavenly Venerables and the two of the Buddhas, and our Ten Halls of Yan Jun also have the Book of the Earth personally given by the Yuan Shi Tianzun, once our Ten Halls of Yan Jun use the Book of the Earth at the same time, even if it is the King of the Earth Bodhisattva, they can't help us." ”
"So even if those seventy-seven ghost emperors occupy the seventy-seven cities on the periphery of the Netherworld, the core management of the Netherworld is still in the hands of our Ten Hall Monarchs."
"Moreover, in the past few thousand years, our Ten Hall Yan Monarchs have also been cultivating and developing forces that belong to our Ten Hall Yan Monarchs."
"Now among the hundred cities, except for the cities occupied by the seventy-seven ghost emperors, the remaining thirteen have all been occupied by the ghost emperors of our ten halls of Yan Jun."
"Zhao Kuangyin, the Song Taizu who was enshrined by His Majesty the Rotation King some time ago, is the ghost emperor of the last city."
Listening to His Majesty the King of Yama say this, I can be regarded as completely understanding the reason why His Majesty the King of Rotation tried every means to attract Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of Song, to return to the Netherworld with him.
In order to make Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, a person with great merits, become a force belonging to their Ten Palaces Yan Jun, the Ten Palaces Yan Jun can let Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin have an equal status with them.
However, with the identity of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and his great merit and monstrous luck, he is indeed qualified to sit on an equal footing with the Ten Palaces Yan Jun and become the ghost emperor of the Netherworld.
I'm afraid that even on the side of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, I can't find anything wrong!
Where there are really people, there are rivers and lakes, and this battle is really everywhere!
In order to balance the strength between the two sides, the Ten Palaces Yan Jun is really quite hard!
However, even if the Ten Hall Yan Monarchs who belonged to the Daomen side occupied twenty-three cities, on the whole, the Daomen side was still in a weak position.
Even if the Ten Palaces Yan Jun nominally held the management of the core of the Netherworld, I am afraid that this was only in name.
As a person from the Dao Sect side, since I have come to the Netherworld Mansion, whether it is with the origin of our Jiang clan and the Ten Palaces Yan Jun, or my identity on the Dao Sect side, I feel that I should do something for the Ten Palaces Yan Jun.
Thinking of this, I said to His Majesty the King of Yama, "Your Majesty, what do you think I need to do next?" It would be great if it could help you! ”
His Majesty King Yama was very satisfied with the attitude I had shown, and after nodding at me with a look of relief, His Majesty King Yama fell into deep thought.
A moment later, His Majesty the King of Yama said to himself, "Since he gave you the Nine-Ring Tin Staff, it means that you must have the purpose he wants to achieve when you come to the Netherworld. ”
"Until his purpose is achieved, I'm afraid that no matter what you do, he will not interfere with you."
Speaking of this, a sinister smile appeared on His Majesty's face.
But at this moment, His Majesty King Yama seemed to remember something, and after glancing at Master Juehui who was wearing a monk's robe, he said to me, "Jiang Yi, are all these people you brought credible?" ”
I naturally understand the meaning of His Majesty's words, but Master Juehui and I have lived and died together and experienced so many things, and I have no reason to doubt him.
Even if Master Juehui is a Buddhist, I will not hide it in front of him.
What's more, among our group of people, in addition to Master Juehui, Ye Lianxin can also be regarded as a member of Buddhism.
As for the other Cui Hongji, Ouyang Hanluo, and Qin Chuchu, they are all considered to be people in the Daomen, so I don't need to care about a few of them.
Thinking about it carefully, Ye Lianxin has also experienced many things with me, and since we have come to the Netherworld together, then I have no reason to distrust them.
In this way, with a change of heart, I responded to the question posed by His Majesty King Yama with my head held high, "Your Majesty, I think all these people I have brought are worthy of trust. ”
Hearing my answer, Ye Lianxin glanced at me with a grateful gaze, but the expression on Master Juehui's face was a little complicated, and he lowered his head.
However, I was looking at His Majesty King Yama at this moment, and I did not notice this detail.
And for His Majesty the King of Yama, it is enough for him to trust me, so after I have given an affirmative answer, His Majesty the King of Yama has nothing to scruple about.
I saw His Majesty the King of Yama and said: "We, the Ten Halls of Yama, are responsible for the operation and management of the entire Netherworld, and we have to deal with countless things every day, especially me, I can say that every day I have to take Yin soldiers to all kinds of hells to suppress the evil spirits that flow out of the endless hells!" ”
"Some time ago, His Majesty the Wheel King brought back Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin from the yang world, and let him occupy the last empty city and become a ghost emperor there, so as to prevent the evil ghosts in the endless hell from wandering to the yang world to make trouble."
Speaking of this, His Majesty King Yama said with a helpless expression: "But the city of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is next to the city occupied by the Seven Demon Emperors, and the Seven Demon Emperors do not admit that the Song Taizu side of the Ghost Emperor who was personally sealed by His Majesty the Reincarnation King, and often deliberately sends evil ghosts to Song Taizu's territory to find trouble. ”
"Although Song Taizu's subordinates have nearly a hundred supreme ghosts, for the Seven Demon Emperors who have taken root in the Netherworld for thousands of years, the strength of Song Taizu's side is relatively weak."
"Because Song Taizu was personally sealed by His Majesty the Wheel King, so Song Taizu took the initiative to ask His Majesty the Wheel King for help when he couldn't cope with it, but His Majesty the Wheel King was responsible for the cycle of life and death, and there were no too powerful people under his command."
"So His Majesty the Reincarnation King begged me to send a team of Yin soldiers to help Song Taizu so that he could gain a firm foothold in that city."
"But there are too many evil ghosts in the endless hell that I need to suppress, not to mention sending a team of Yin soldiers to help Song Taizu, even if my subordinates are short of people."
At this point, His Majesty the King of Yama stopped talking and looked at me with each other.
But at this time, even if His Majesty King Yama doesn't continue, I already understand what he means and what he wants me to do.
So I confirmed with His Majesty King Yama and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean is for me to help Song Taizu gain a firm foothold?" ”
However, what I didn't expect was that His Majesty King Yama said to me with a tough attitude: "Jiang Yi, I don't want you to help Song Taizu gain a firm foothold, I also want you to destroy the Seven Demon Emperors, so that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin can occupy the seven cities of the Seven Demon Emperors!" ”
