Chapter 61: Unfathomable
The fifth hall of the underworld, the hall of Yama. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In a cloudy and filthy sky, suddenly a golden light sprinkled, a silver-armored god drove auspicious clouds to the front of the temple door, holding a steel fork with muddy iron points, his face was like lacquer, his eyes were on his ears, his eyebrows were facing the sky, and his beard was cut like an iron wire, which was the god of the Oriental Ghost Emperor.
In ancient times, the ten gods and demons headed by Chi You, galloping across this world, majestic in all directions, no one dared to plunder its edge, until the rise of the Yellow Emperor clan in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, defeated the Yandi clan in the middle reaches of the Yellow River in the Battle of Banquan, and established the most powerful Chinese tribe in the Yellow River Basin.
The Huaxia tribe continued to advance eastward, defeating many tribes in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, but the Dongyi tribe where Chiyou belonged was unwilling to submit, so they united the nine tribes in the lower reaches of the Yellow River to form the Jiuli tribe to fight against the Yellow Emperor.
In the battle between Jiuli and Huaxia, Chiyou united with the ten demon gods and defeated the Yellow Emperor seventy-two times in a row, and later the Yellow Emperor invited the zombie ancestor Nulu to defeat Chiyou in the Battle of Zhuolu.
In this battle, most of the ten demon gods were killed or sealed, and a few demon gods were recruited, among which Shen Tu was appointed by Nuwa as the god of the underworld, and ruled the underworld together with the god Yu Lei.
"The elder brother is here, making the main hall shine!"
Dressed in a black-robed official uniform, the burly and sturdy King Yama was already waiting outside the hall, and when he saw someone coming, he stepped forward and arched his hand.
"Brother Xian is polite. Shen Tu stopped his bowed forearm and said with a warm smile: "After being captured in the Battle of Zhuolu, if it wasn't for the virtuous brother to intercede with the Yellow Emperor, the brother would have been in a different place, how could he have the scenery of the Ghost Emperor today." ”
"Although you and I are superiors and subordinates, these false courtesies are not necessary. ”
King Yama's eyes flashed with a touch of color, in ancient times, he was shallow, and he didn't even have the qualifications to climb the top ten demon gods, but he was an inconspicuous guard in front of the Yellow Emperor's account, and when he saw the future of the gods, he risked his life to intercede, and now this investment has finally paid off.
"Brother, please come in!"
The two ghosts and gods sat down at the guest of honor, and after a polite exchange, they chatted about their old acquaintances, and the king of Yama regarded the gods as the background backstage, and the gods also regarded him as a help to push themselves forward.
"Brother, what is the opinion of Emperor Dongyue on the side of the selection of the head of the ten halls this time?"
"You. Shen Tu looked at him and stared at him intently, laughing and said, "The emperor has entrusted this matter to me, what are you still worried about?"
"But...... If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens. King Yama didn't dare to be careless at all, and he must ask this matter clearly, "What are the specific assessment criteria, and is there a suitable candidate now?"
Looking at his appearance, Shen Tu shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than a selection based on ability, conduct, and prestige in the underworld, and the current candidate ......."
At this point, he paused deliberately.
"Brother, say it quickly. A trace of eagerness flashed in King Yama's eyes, and then he looked at the silver-armored god in front of him with a solemn face and said: "As long as the foolish brother can become the head of the ten halls this time, he will definitely be the head of the elder brother in the future, and my brother will let me go east, and I will never go west!"
"Brother Xian is serious. Seeing him make such a statement, Shen Di showed a satisfied smile on his face and said: "In terms of candidates, the emperor did not directly explain, but he is quite optimistic about the third hall, the tenth hall, and your fifth hall, and the final recommendation is in the hands of my brother." ”
"Actually, you don't need to worry so much, among the ten halls of Yama, with the strength of your fifth hall being the strongest, and the prestige of your king of Yama being the highest, even if you don't do anything for your brother, if there is no accident, the position of the head of these ten halls will inevitably fall on your head. ”
King Yama still didn't completely let go, "However, the foolish brother is just worried about this accident. ”
"Oh, tell me about it. "Shen Tu doesn't understand what he's worried about, his own strength is strong enough, and he has his own secret box operation, the position of the head of the ten halls is not within reach?
King Yama froze, his eyes were deep, and he said, "Among the ten halls, most of them are mediocre people, and there are very few who can compete with me. ”
"On the surface, among the ten Yan monarchs, my strength is the strongest and the prestige is the highest, but in terms of strength, the Song Emperor of the third hall can compete with me, and the Wheel King of the tenth hall is even more unfathomable, and his strength I still can't see through, and it seems that there is a strong external force to support it. ”
"In addition to these two people, the chief judge of the underworld, the ghost judge of the third hall, is comparable to Yan Jun in terms of prestige, and his mental and physical means are all first-class, plus the powerful Song Emperor, the real strength of the third hall is not much weaker than my fifth hall. ”
"Emperor Song, King of the Wheel, and a chief judge. Shen Tu pondered for a moment and said, "Hearing you say this, according to normal circumstances, it is really possible that the position of the head of the Ten Halls will change hands, but since Brother Wei has decided to help you, he will not let this happen." ”
"Thank you brother for your help, but I'm still a little unsure. The solemnity on King Yama's face did not ease in the slightest, and said: "I am not worried about the third hall, Emperor Song has no intention of power, so he will definitely not participate in this battle of the ten halls, and the ghost judge under her will not be interested in this matter according to reason." ”
"Then what are you worried about the Wheel King who can't see through?" Shen Tu continued his words and said: "The Tenth Hall Wheel seems to have something to do with the Lingshan side, and the Bodhisattva in the underworld should be his backstage, but this time the head of the Ten Palaces is selected, and the Dongyue Emperor is the master, and he will never let an outsider interfere." ”
"If you are still worried, a little wheel king, brother Wei personally took care of him for you. ”
Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, a middle-aged man in the same black-robed official uniform walked in, surrounded by four treasure wheels of gold, silver, copper and iron, followed by thirty-two phantoms, disillusioned, and smiled: "I heard someone calling me, so I came uninvited." ”
"Wheel, you dare to trespass on my Yama Palace, I must sue you in front of the emperor. King Yama said with indignation on his face, and at the same time, he was both frightened and ashamed when he had just quietly entered the main hall.
Shen Di also looked at the black-robed middle-aged man who suddenly appeared with a hint of scrutiny.
"There is no urgency. With a faint smile on his face, the Wheel King said unhurriedly: "When I came in just now, I happened to hear Lord Dongfang Ghost Emperor saying something interesting, so I want to confirm it first." ”
"So what?" Shen Tu showed a playful smile in his eyes, as long as he didn't admit it, and the other party had no evidence, even if he made trouble with the emperor, he would only be the one who won in the end.
The Wheel King looked at him calmly, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and said: "I heard that the Eastern Ghost Emperor has the power of the gods, and he is one of the top ten demon gods in ancient times, and his subordinates have long admired him, and when I see it today, I hope that the Ghost Emperor will teach him a lesson or two!"
