Chapter 391: Behind the Bridge
Zhao Huanshu and Bai Wuchang walked across the Nai He Bridge together, and when they were on the bridge, Zhao Huanshu looked left and right, and asked Bai Wuchang: "Didn't you say that there is a Meng Po on the Nai He Bridge, why didn't you see it?" ”
Bai Wuchang shook his head and said, "Ho ho, Brother Zhao, you forgot, Granny Meng is not in Nai He Bridge, you have been misled by folk legends, right?" ”
"That's in ......," Zhao Huanshu looked around.
"After the bridge, it is expected that the township platform and the Sansheng Stone, after the mortal dies from the Huangquan Road here, step on the Nai He Bridge, take a last look at the hometown of the world on the Wangxiang Terrace, and look at the past and the present life on the side of the Sansheng Stone, so that you can meet Meng Po and drink Meng Po soup and forget all kinds of things in the world." Bai Wuchang explained to Zhao Huanshu while leading him across the Nai He Bridge.
Zhao Huanshu looked at the dark red river under the bridge, stretching left and right into the mist, I don't know how long the river was, those struggling lonely ghosts, kept stretching out their hands to tear down the ghosts who crossed the river without permission; Bai Wuchang said that these wild ghosts either wanted to bypass the Sansheng Stone Meng Po and were unwilling to forget the people of their previous lives, or they accidentally fell off the bridge, and once they fell into the Lechuan River, their souls could never get out of the river, and could only struggle in it.
Zhao Huanshu swallowed his saliva and stopped looking at the tragic situation in the river, and after crossing the Nai He Bridge with Bai Wuchang, Xie Bi'an asked a few ghost pawns to take those Yin ghosts on Changlong Mountain to report and accept the Yin Si trial, and then took Zhao Huanshu to continue to move forward.
Behind the bridge is a gray wilderness, and the scene on both sides of the wilderness is completely different.
On the right side of the wilderness, looking into the distance, there seems to be a dark and towering mountain outline in the mist, and on this piece of wilderness, it is not the Yin ghost who comes and goes, but the ghost pawn with a blue face and fangs, or angry eyes, wearing a shape like an ancient scale armor, looking at it, there are countless ghost pawns here, each ghost pawn exudes a powerful ghost power, and after Zhao Huanshu's rough estimate, most of these ghost pawns in the underworld are much stronger than themselves, at least a Yin ghost of the flower clothes level is not an opponent at all in front of any of them.
The forms of these ghost pawns are also different, and most of the ghost pawns standing still on this side of the bridge and lining up in a phalanx show a translucent form, and it seems that the ghost power comes and goes, and it seems to be very weak.
Xie Bi'an took Zhao Huanshu and the five ghosts behind Zhao Huanshu and walked to the right side behind the bridge, while walking, Xie Bi'an introduced to Zhao Huanshu: "Since the four murderers broke free from the seal of suppressing them in hell, while leading a large number of the most brutal evil ghosts in purgatory to rebel in the underworld, we are handsome and yin, although we have the power to deal with ordinary ghosts, but those vicious ghosts are not trivial, although they are powerful ghosts, but under the intervention of the four fierce forces, they have long exceeded the scope of ordinary ghosts. ”
"The four murderers are the descendants of the three emperors and five emperors, and the ghost power is almost like a god after death, and the real immortals are out of the Three Realms, so they can't directly intervene in the things of the Yin and Yang world, at most the Taoist monks with real skills, after cultivating the Buddha and worshipping the Buddha, they can use a very small amount of divine power, of course, there are very few such people, and the power they borrow is also very limited, such as Liu Qiqing at the beginning, the power he borrowed can deal with the blue-clothed ghosts at most."
"So we can only rely on the existing strength and the four fierce ghosts in the underworld at that time, as well as the countless red-clothed ghosts under their hands to fight, it is ashamed to say, although we are Yin Shuai, but in the face of some powerful ghosts with the power of the four evils in ancient times, we are still helpless, don't say that we, even the four major judges and Yan Jun, were greatly traumatized in the battle at that time."
"In the orthodox hell, the yin ghosts will not be directly regarded as subordinates, but they need to be judged for their merits and demerits during their lifetimes, and then they will be crowned as yin pawns or promoted to yin commanders; Of course, after the rebellion of the four murderers, we also had the idea of accepting the ghosts, but most of the ghosts were extremely vicious people in their lifetimes, and they were tortured in the underworld for countless years, how could they help us in turn. ”
"So there are very few ghost-level Yin pawns that we can control, plus the original 100,000 Yin pawns left in the underworld, our number is less than one-tenth of the four fierce ones; After all, the other party controlled all kinds of fierce ghosts and evil spirits that had died for thousands of years, so they ......"
When Xie Bi'an said this, Zhao Huanshu suddenly realized something, so he said, "So...... Although I can't remember who I used to be, I can already feel that a long time ago, I was also a member of the underworld, and I had the ...... that could control the ghosts Well, because of the algorithm, right? ”
Bai Wuchang nodded and said: "Yes, although your strength at that time was above that of the Ten Palaces Yan Jun and even the Emperor Xudu, you still felt that you were not the opponent of the four fierce ones, and now that you have come to the underworld, then we have nothing to hide, the way you thought of at the beginning was to go through infinite reincarnation, and then gather the karma in each reincarnation life." ”
"Because you are in reincarnation, the more ordinary you are, the more you can feel all kinds of ups and downs in the world, so you have collected the karma you have collected and made it into a clone for Lu Zhidao, one of the four judges, to keep it, and now your karmic clone is strong enough, but in order to adapt to the body, you can only get back your own power little by little."
After that, Bai Wuchang explained to Zhao Huanshu that the initial task of sealing the ghost list was to make Zhao Huanshu adapt himself to the various prerequisites of catching ghosts, and the ghost sealing list originally had the ability to accept the yin ghosts in the world for his own use, so he could send powerful yin ghosts from the world to the underworld through the ghost list.
Hearing this, Zhao Huanshu felt a little depressed, although he has now retrieved some of his karmic clones, this feeling has become a lot dull, but when he thinks of the ghost list that he was so afraid of getting rid of before, he actually gave himself a "set" for himself, and for a while, he felt like a dumb eater.
Moreover, Bai Wuchang also said that the powerful ghosts of the four murderers, the ghost sealing list has no effect on them, unless Zhao Huanshu retrieves more or even all of the karmic clones.
In the end, for this way of cultivation, Zhao Huanshu understands his previous thoughts very well, just take the legends in the world, don't many gods and Buddhas, all go through various hardships in the world to achieve positive results? It's just that Zhao Huanshu is just gathering the karma generated by these tribulations and various events, and finally using them for his own use, so that the effect of his cultivation will be countless times greater than the original self simply practicing in the underworld.
"I have a feeling that if I can retrieve more karmic clones, and even fight with the powerful ghosts in the world, then I will be able to use the ghost list to send more powerful yin pawns to the underworld to fight against the four evils." Zhao Huanshu thought for a while.
