Chapter 1175: The Last Question
As a graduate student in the Department of History, I must have a clear understanding of the historical figures of all dynasties.
These historical celebrities mentioned by His Majesty King Yama can be regarded as famous figures in history.
In particular, the Baolong map of Kaifeng Mansion, whether in history or folklore, has a very loud reputation and a very high status.
It is said that this Bao Longtu can communicate the two worlds of yin and yang, judging people during the day and ghosts at night, it turns out that he is the reincarnation of His Majesty the King of Yama, so it is no wonder that he has this ability.
But as far as I know, Bao Longtu, Kou Zhun, and Fan Zhongyan of Kaifeng Mansion are all characters in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and some of the eras of their existence overlap together, so it is impossible for His Majesty the King of Yama to be reincarnated as three people, right?
These thoughts flashed through my mind, and the expression on my face became a little messy.
And why am I messy and confused? His Majesty King Yama knew it as soon as he guessed, so before I could ask a question, His Majesty King Yama took the initiative to explain it to me.
I saw His Majesty the King of Yama said: "The art of dividing the soul, if you can separate one part, you can naturally separate two parts, three parts, in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the world has just been decided, and a large number of evil ghosts have been reincarnated in the world. ”
"And since that era, the evil ghosts reincarnated in the yang world have not only not decreased, but have become more and more."
"In order to suppress the evil ghosts, our Ten Hall Yan Jun can only separate our Yin Soul into several parts, and continue to reincarnate."
"This is the real reason why our Ten Hall Yan Jun, as the authentic Yin God enshrined by the Heavenly Dao, has been worshiped by thousands of years of incense, but none of them have been able to break through to the supreme among the Seven Rank Ghosts."
When he said this, His Majesty King Yama looked helpless.
But my curiosity has been thoroughly aroused by His Majesty the King of Yama.
I asked His Majesty the King of Yama and said, "Your Majesty, according to what you said, Kou Zhun, Fan Zhongyan, and Bao Longtu, these three are just the identities you reincarnated in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, in addition to these three identities, you have identities in every dynasty and every generation?" Or even several identities? ”
His Majesty King Yama did not answer me directly, but nodded silently.
Seeing this, I continued to ask with some excitement, "Then in this world, do you also have the identity of reincarnation?" ”
His Majesty King Yama asked me rhetorically, "There are more and more evil ghosts reincarnated in the yang world, do you say that in this world, is there any reincarnation of me?" ”
Obviously, there must be the reincarnation of His Majesty King Yama in this world, and there are even several.
The purpose of His Majesty's reincarnation is to suppress evil, so the person he is reincarnated in this life is definitely not an ordinary person.
What about the reincarnation of His Majesty King Yama who is the one in this world?
Do I know the identity of His Majesty King Yama in this world? Or do I know this person?
Thinking of this, I am even more curious!
"Your Majesty, who is the identity of the person you are reincarnated in this world? Can you satisfy my curiosity, can you tell me? I asked His Majesty King Yama.
But who knew that His Majesty the King of Yama shook his head again and again and said, "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it must not be revealed!" In short, as long as there is evil, when fairness and justice are wantonly destroyed by evil people, my reincarnated identity will do everything possible to punish those evil people! ”
And since His Majesty the King of Yama is reluctant to reveal his identity in this world, then I can only put away my curiosity.
Then I asked His Majesty King Yama a few other questions that I found incomprehensible.
"Your Majesty, you have been reincarnated in the yang world to suppress and punish evil ghosts, logically speaking, you have great merit, how could you be punished and let your ranking among the Ten Hall Yama Monarchs drop to the fifth place?"
Hearing my question, His Majesty King Yama shook his head helplessly and depressedly.
Then His Majesty King Yama said: "During the time when I was reincarnated as Bao Long Tu Bao Zheng, a large number of evil ghosts suddenly appeared in the hells, so my deity had to lead the Yin soldiers to suppress the evil ghosts in all the hells for a long time. ”
"But as the king of Yama among the Ten Palaces of Yama, I have to participate in the management of many things in the Netherworld."
"So in desperation, I can only be the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion in the Yang during the day, be a fair and selfless Bao Tie Mian, and Bao Longtu, and at night I will go back to the Yin Cao Mansion to be the King of Yama and deal with the affairs of the Yin Cao Underworld."
"It is precisely for this reason that the folk have the legend that I judge people during the day and ghosts at night, and there are even many people in the folk who call me, the king of Yama, the son of Yama Bao Tian!"
Listening to King Yama say this, I can understand why the name of King Yama clearly recorded in the ancestral "Book of Divine Appearance" of our Jiang family is Wang Yan, but why in folklore, King Yama is called the Son of Heaven of Yama.
And since His Majesty the King of Yama focused on the situation when he was reincarnated as Bao Longtu, then I am afraid that he was demoted to the Five Palaces of Yama, which was caused by the mistakes he made when he was reincarnated as Bao Longtu.
Sure enough, just as I guessed, His Majesty King Yama continued: "Because I am a human being in the sun during the day, even if I am used to seeing life and death in the past few thousand years, it is difficult for me to be cold-blooded and ruthless. ”
"Especially when I encounter some people who have been killed by evil people who have been reincarnated by evil spirits, and they can't take care of their relatives and can't be with the people they love, I can't help but move my mortal heart and selfishness, and use the power of my Yama King to help these people reincarnate again, so that they can fulfill their responsibilities as children, husbands or wives."
Hearing this, I was able to fully understand the real reason why King Yama's ranking among the Ten Hall Yama Monarchs was demoted to the fifth hall.
You must know that the so-called human life is a matter of heaven, so the fate of human life and death is already predestined by heaven.
As long as a person is dead, it is doomed that the person's life has come to an end and that he will never be resurrected.
Once a dead person is resurrected, this is to some extent a violation of the way of heaven.
King Yama used the power of his Ten Halls of Yama to resurrect a person who was already dead, which was equivalent to him doing something that disobeyed the way of heaven.
If he said that he occasionally did one or two pieces, with the status of His Majesty the King of Yama, Heavenly Dao might not punish him.
But obviously, when King Yama was reincarnated as Bao Longtu, he was a man of temperament, and he definitely did nothing less than such things that rebelled against the way of heaven!
It was for this reason that His Majesty King Yama's ranking was relegated to the fifth hall.
However, although His Majesty King Yama's ranking has been reduced to the fifth hall, I have a lot more respect for His Majesty King Yama.
If the sky is affectionate, the sky is also old, although the way of heaven is ruthless, but people are affectionate!
Between His Majesty the King of Yama, who only talks about rules and order and has no feelings, and His Majesty the King of Yama, who values love and righteousness, I recognize the latter even more.
Thinking of this, I bent down and bowed deeply to His Majesty King Yama.
"Your Majesty, although your ranking has been lowered to the fifth hall, in my Jiang Yi's heart, you will always be ranked first!"
At this time, not only am I on top of the city tower, but even the brothers of Song Taizu and Song Taizong, Yue Fei and Yue Yun father and son, as well as Xiaolanling, Wushun, as well as Wenren Allure and Qin Chuchu, they are basically all on the city tower.
After hearing what I said, and seeing that I bowed heavily to His Majesty, almost all of them bowed heavily to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, King Yama, in all that you have done, in our hearts, your status will always be in the first place!"
After Song Taizu took the lead in saying this, the others all nodded their heads one after another, showing great respect for His Majesty the King of Yama.
Seeing this, His Majesty the King of Yama burst out laughing.
"Hahaha....."
After laughing out loud in a happy mood, His Majesty King Yama looked full of emotion and said, "As the head of the Ten Halls of Yama sealed by the Heavenly Dao, I really can't do anything that disobeys the Heavenly Dao, but since I have done it, I have never regretted it!" ”
"What's more, even if my ranking is lowered to the fifth hall, we have never divided each other between the ten hall Yan monarchs, and we have never taken that ranking seriously!"
After King Yama said this, I asked him one last question.
"Your Majesty, among your ten halls of Hades, which one is the most powerful?"
