Chapter 12 There is one more sad person in the world
The underworld is actually not as terrifying as the world imagines, except for the eighteen layers of hell that have not changed, the current underworld has long been synchronized with the world.
There are modern buildings everywhere, and although there is no sunlight, the ubiquitous incandescent lamps illuminate the dungeon as bright as day, and there is no sense of eerie horror.
The Ghost Gate Pass was built into a security checkpoint like a station in the world, and it was really a station after the security check, and Huangquan Road was also built into a highway.
Everything is modernized.
After Yan Chixia and her party left the hell world, they walked up a staircase that resembled a subway passage.
At the exit, there was a god of death in a black tunic on duty, and when he saw Yan Chixia saluting one after another, his eyes looking at Li Fei and those living beings were full of surprise.
Where did these strange creatures come from? Could it be that those demon ghasts in the hell world have finally been transformed by the Jizo agent?
How is this possible? What the King of Jizo has not done for thousands of years, how can He De, the agent of Jizo, do it in just over 20 years?
Yan Chixia said to a god of death: "You go and inform Commander Xiahou, Commander Pang, and Meng Po, and let them go to the office of the Wheel King to meet me." ”
"Yes."
The Grim Reaper answered, and ran straight to a duty room not far away, where there was a communicator.
Li Fei said with interest: "Why, Xiahou and Pang Yong have become the Death Lords?" ”
Beyond the exit was a square, and about a few hundred feet away from the square, there were many high-rise buildings, and they were at the back of the last one.
Yan Chixia walked around the front of the building with a group of people, and said with a smile: "Yes! At the end of their lives, when their souls returned to the underworld, they were all hired by the king of Jizo as the leader of the god of death. ”
"Xiahou is now the Great Commander of the Grim Reaper, Pang Yong is his deputy, and Pang Yong's wife Xia Bing is the current Meng Po, who is in charge of the Forgotten Stage."
"In terms of seniority, they are much older than me, hehehe......"
The unique worldview of this world makes those familiar gods no longer refer to a specific existence, but have become a kind of professional title.
These positions are not set in stone, but can be replaced.
For example, the king of Jizo is a job title, representing the supreme leader of the prefecture, not referring to the Jizo Bodhisattva.
Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as Jizo Bodhisattva in this world.
The same is true of Meng Po and the Ten Palaces of Yama, whether it is Meng Po or the Ten Palaces of Yama, they have actually rotated several times.
The only exception is the King of Jizo, who has been the King of Jizo since the appearance of the Underground Mansion and has no intention of retiring, so he has always been the same one.
Even if he is not in the underworld for some reason, there will only be one Jizo agent, not another meritocracy to succeed him as the Jizo king.
The Jizo King did not personally propose to retire, and no one would mention the matter of choosing another Jizo King.
As for other bad things, if you are tired of a certain position, you can also apply for retirement and go to the ghost town of Xudu to live a retirement life.
Occasionally, you can leave the original god and reincarnate your soul into the world to play for a lifetime.
After returning to the underworld at the end of his life, he got back the original god, and he was still a ghost fairy in the underworld.
The premise is that you have to cultivate the ghost immortal of the Yin God, without the Yin God, you naturally can't do this step, reincarnation is the real reincarnation, and from then on you will fall into reincarnation, and you will rise and fall in the Six Realms again.
Therefore, if they have not cultivated the Yin God and attained the Yin Difference of ghosts and immortals, few people choose to be reincarnated.
But if you really choose to be reincarnated, it won't be a loss.
Being a yin in the underworld is the accumulation of merit and good fortune, and after reincarnation, you will enjoy good fortune.
For example, reincarnation is a variety of second generations, or something that has become famous in its own right, and it can generally last for many lifetimes.
"Only Xiahou and Pang Yong are serving in the underworld? Nie Xiaoqian, didn't they come? ”
Yan Chixia shook her head and said, "I didn't come, they have already cultivated into ghosts and immortals, and they are all day travel realms, and they are not much different from living people." ”
"They still live in Guobei County, oh, now it's Guobei City, just the original Lanruo Temple, now it's a private manor villa, you can go and see them when you have time."
Li Fei said happily: "I will go to see them." ”
When the group walked around the back of the building, they immediately saw the scene in front of the building.
On the exterior wall of this building are the words "Wheel Building", and twenty zhang away in front of the building is a wide river, and in the middle of the river is blood-yellow water.
There is a stone bridge over the river that is more than 100 zhang wide and about 100 zhang long.
On the bridge are a line of ghosts walking slowly forward, and the line stretches into the distance, with no end in sight.
At the head of the bridge, there is a machine that looks like an automatic coffee vending machine, and a cup is placed underneath.
Naturally, there will be no coffee in the machine, but soul-forgetting soup, which is commonly known as Meng Po soup.
The Grim Reaper will guide every ghost who walks across the bridge to drink a cup of Forgotten Soul Soup.
It doesn't matter how much you drink or how little you drink, as long as you drink it, you will walk through a security checkpoint and you will enter the Wheel Building.
Ghosts who have not drunk the Soul Forgetting Soup and want to get through the level will definitely be detected by the security machine, and then the Grim Reaper will forcibly pour a cup on it.
Yan Chixia introduced to Li Fei: "This is the Nai He Bridge and Lethe River, this is the last stop of the ghosts, after drinking the Forgotten Soul Soup, you will enter the Wheel Building, and go through the six reincarnations." ”
"The ghosts that can come here are all without any major sins, and some small sins are at most put into the animal path, and those with a little heavier sins are put into the hungry ghost path."
"If you have a great sin, you have to go to hell and atone for your sins before you can enter samsara."
"Those who should go to hell have basically been assigned in the Qinguang Building, and they will be sent to different buildings according to their sins, and they will be sent to different hells to be punished."
Li Fei nodded slowly, the creatures behind him were thoughtful, looking at the other buildings in the distance, their eyes were quite worried.
Although they were protected by Li Fei and escaped from Shura City, they could turn their whole body against their own world.
But after they die, they still have to go to this underworld, and they don't know what fate they will be sentenced to.
There are two passages in the lobby on the first floor of the Wheel Building, and there is an elevator hall on the left, which is guarded by the Grim Reaper.
After those ghosts drank the Soul Forgetting Soup, they were already a blank soul, and they no longer had the slightest memory and wisdom, so they naturally let the god of death guide them to the place of the six realms of reincarnation.
Yan Chixia led the group into the Wheel Building, and everyone found that the building seemed to occupy a small area from the outside, but the inside was extremely vast, almost no smaller than the square outside.
When the Grim Reaper along the way saw Yan Chixia, they would stand in place and bow down, and only after Yan Chixia walked by would they continue to do their own thing.
Yan Chixia walked into the elevator room on the left with a group of souls, opened one of the elevators, and found that the elevator was also exaggeratedly large, enough to stand more than a thousand people.
When all the creatures entered the elevator, Yan Chixia pressed the highest floor at the button.
These buildings are all 118 floors, I don't know what is important.
After Yan Chixia pressed the button, everyone didn't feel like they were rising, just for a moment, the word 1 in the display on that floor jumped directly to 118, and then the elevator door opened.
Outside the elevator is a hallway, with only a double door on the wall next to the corridor, and this whole floor is a room, which is the office of the Wheel King.
At this time, the door was open, Yan Chixia asked the living beings to wait outside, knocked on the door, and then walked in with Li Fei.
Unlike the previous nine Hades, who were either black-faced and black-skinned, or blue-faced and hideous, the Wheel King was an image of an old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes and a fluttering beard.
He did not wear the uniform of a black tunic, but a white silk practice uniform.
This is a little hobby of the Wheel King, and when he was a human being, he especially preferred white clothes and white armor.
Seeing Yan Chixia enter the office, he hurriedly got up from behind the desk and greeted him, hugged his fists, and said with a smile: "The agent of Jizo came in person, I don't know what to order?" ”
The Wheel King gave Yan Chixia a lot of face, and Yan Chixia also seemed to have great respect for this Wheel King, and returned the salute with her fists, saying, "The Wheel King is polite." ”
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to Li Fei and said with a smile: "Let me introduce you, this is Li Fei, my sworn brother." ”
"Second brother, you must have heard of the name of the Wheel King, that is, the famous Tang Dynasty general of the 'Three Arrows to Set the Heavenly Mountain' and 'Bravely Collect Liaodong', Xue Li and Xue Rengui are also."
The Wheel King's eyes flashed, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that the sword god who has been missing for more than four hundred years?" ”
Yan Chixia smiled and said: "It's him, he has another chance in the past four hundred years, and now he has cultivated to become a heavenly immortal, and today he suddenly emerged from the hell world, which makes me surprised and happy." ”
Li Fei hugged his fists with knowledge and said: "I have long admired the name of the Wheel King, and I am fortunate to meet you." ”
The Wheel King hurriedly returned the salute with his fists and said: "Don't dare to be, the sword god leveled the demons and evils in the world back then, and returned all living beings to a bright and prosperous world, and the old man has been admired for a long time, but I don't know why the sword god came out of hell from another world?" ”
Li Fei explained the cause and effect one by one, and after listening to it, the Wheel King bowed his head and said: "This is just a trivial matter, easy to do." ”
"Thank you, Wheel King."
Then he hugged his fist to the Wheel King, and Li Fei beckoned those creatures to enter, this office is huge, and more than a hundred creatures are not too crowded to come in.
The Wheel King didn't talk nonsense, turned around and walked to the window, turned over and took out a copper plate printed with the six reincarnation patterns, and threw it out.
The copper disc flew to the window and turned into a slowly swirling dark green vortex.
The Wheel King turned to the creatures and said, "Wait and go forward in turn, and tell you the time and place where you came." ”
The sentient beings glanced at each other, and Sima Guan was the first to step forward and said, "Let's come first!" On August 18 of the seventh year of the Great Song Dynasty, Yanggu County, there was the king of the labor wheel. ”
The Wheel King nodded, his mouth was full of words, and he raised his hand to make a seal against the whirlpool.
After doing this, he said to Sima Guan: "Go! After you go back, remember not to divulge the secrets of heaven, mention the affairs of the afterlife, and disrupt the operation of the way of heaven, otherwise you will definitely fall into a state of no return. ”
"Because you are returning from this life, you will still return to the current underworld after death, and you will not be hooked by the underworld at that time."
"So if you have any obsessions, try to complete them before you die, and if you want to see someone in the underworld at that time after death, it's impossible."
Sima Guan's heart sank, and he clenched his fists and bowed: "Remember, thank you to the Wheel King." ”
"Sima ......," the Rakshasa woman reluctantly called softly.
Sima Guanren was shocked, turned around and hugged her, and said in a deep voice: "If there is fate, there will be a goodbye day, and I will definitely wait for you in the underworld after I die." ”
Gu Rakshasa closed her eyes, a string of tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and after two breaths, she gently pushed him away and smiled: "Go!" Don't forget me. ”
Sima Guanren nodded solemnly and said, "I will always remember you, and if I don't wait for you, I will never drink the Soul Forgetting Soup." ”
After speaking, he gave Li Fei a deep squeeze, and then turned around and walked into the whirlpool and disappeared.
The Rakshasa took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to the Wheel King: "There is the King of the Wheel of Labor, during the Rigveda period, Ranga Island. ”
When the Wheel King heard this, he was stunned and said, "I know that Ranga Island is now called 'Sri Lanka', but when was the Rigveda period?" Is there a specific date for the date? ”
The Rakshasa was also a little dumbfounded, they were still in the tribal era at that time, and there was no calendar and year, how could this be good?
If they can't go back to the original time, then what's the point of them desperately coming out of Shura City?
There was an awkward atmosphere in the office.
Yan Chixia was about to go to the god of death to check, when a kind old woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "This Rig Vedic period is also the Yin Shang era of my Huaxia. ”
The living beings opened the door one after another, turned their heads to look, and saw two men, one woman and three old men, walking in from outside the door.
One of the old men had a yellow face and no beard, his white hair was scattered at will, his waist was straight, and his whole body was like a sharp sword, exuding infinite sharpness from top to bottom.
The other old man had a bun on his head and a long beautiful hair hanging down his chin, and if it weren't for the fact that his hair was white, he would look like Guan Gongyou.
The last one was a kind and kind white-haired old woman with a dragon's head cane.
The Wheel King smiled at the old woman and said, "Meng Po is really knowledgeable, and the old man is about to ask for advice." ”
It was the old woman who spoke, that is, Xia Bing in an elderly state, and the current Meng Po.
I only heard her smile and said: "I have studied the ancient Tianzhu literature, the Rig Vedic period, about 1800 BC to 1000 BC. ”
She looked at the Rakshasa and the others, and said, "You are the Rakshasa clan, right?" ”
The Rakshasa woman hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen my mother-in-law, and we are the Rakshasa clan." ”
Xia Bing bowed his head slowly and said to the Wheel King: "That's right, the Aryans defeated the Rakshasa clan and occupied Ranga Island in the 14th century BC. ”
"You sent them to Lenga Island during the Yin Shang Wairen period, and there would be basically no big mistake."
The Wheel King understood, smiled and said, "Thank you Meng Po for your advice." ”
After speaking, he still turned around and recited the words, and made a seal.
Xia Bing said to the Rakshasa woman: "Girl, history cannot be changed, you used to be unable to fight the Aryans, and now it will not be any different if you go back, you still can't fight." ”
"Even if I go back, what can I do? It's better to let go of your obsession and settle down in this world with peace of mind, why go back and die? ”
The Rakshasa woman smiled bitterly and said: "What my mother-in-law said, how can I not know that if we can let go of our obsessions, we will let go of them as early as Shura City." ”
"As long as you can go back to fight happily, even if you die in battle, you will at least have an explanation for yourself."
Xia Bing sighed, said no more, and then walked up to Li Fei, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Brother Li, after four hundred years, you haven't changed at all!" ”
Everyone looked at a white-haired old woman, a young brother who didn't look like a crown of age, and her eyes were indescribably strange.
Including Li Fei himself, he smiled bitterly: "You girl, you can face me with a young face, but you deliberately keep this appearance, deliberately!" ”
"Hahahaha......"
Yan Chixia, Xiahou Jian and Pang Yong on the side immediately laughed loudly.
The most gratifying thing for Xia Bing before his death was that he could grow old with Pang Yong and go to Huangquan together.
After arriving in the underworld, he has maintained this appearance and has not changed into a young state.
And this appearance is also more in line with the character of "Meng Po".
is like the Tang Jinbao under her, when Aunt Meng is too young, where is there a woman like Meng Po?
Xiahou Jian took two steps forward, bent his legs, knelt directly to the ground, and bowed: "Disciple to meet Master." ”
Li Fei said with black lines in his head: "Get up!" You guys, you deliberately tricked me, right? ”
Xiahou Jian got up and said with a smile: "A teacher for one day, a father for life, no matter how old the disciple is, the master is always the master." ”
"It's just that over the years, we have all gotten used to this face, and we don't want to change."
Li Fei looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, your appearance is really a bit of a sword saint." ”
Xiahou Jian smiled reservedly, and Li Fei said to the Wheel King: "Then it's bothering the Wheel King here, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, and we want to catch up with the old days." ”
The Wheel King smiled and said, "No problem, I'll leave it to the old man here." ”
Li Fei said to the sentient beings: "Everyone, I am destined to see you again. ”
After speaking, he said to the octopus alone: "If you are still alive by the turn of the millennium, you might as well go to a place called Jiajia Building in Hong Kong to rent a room to live, and I will go there sooner or later." ”
Hearing this, there was a flash of joy in the eyes of the octopus, no matter whether his obsession could be achieved or not, it would be a great benefit to be able to follow a celestial immortal.
The era in which he lived was the Tang Dynasty, and it was only more than 1,300 years before the millennium, and if he did not die, he would definitely live to this time.
At the moment, he hugged his fists and said: "You must remember it in the future." ”
Li Fei nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and then went out with Yan Chixia and the others.
……
At Yan Chixia's residence, Li Fei put out the spirit wine and spirit fruit, drank and reminisced with several old friends, and laughed constantly.
At this moment, Xiahou Jian, Pang Yong, and Xia Bing have all recovered their youthful appearances, just like they did in Lanruo Temple.
I don't know how long it took, Xiahou Jian suddenly looked stunned, he raised his hand and drew a circle in front of him, pointed at the air, and a picture suddenly appeared.
Li Fei and the others also turned their heads to look.
In the picture, a middle-aged man, at this time, he was holding three sticks of incense, and said in his mouth: "Xiahou Hong, a descendant of Xiao, respectfully sues the ancestors." ”
"There are two big demons in Hangzhou City, and a few days ago they snatched a precious cultural relic from the exhibition hall under the Leifeng Pagoda."
"My country's six places of security sent people to recover, but none of them are the opponents of the two demons, I joined forces with the contemporary heirs of the demon subjugation family, and several predecessors of Lanruo Villa, and still returned defeated."
"These two demons cannot be ambushed unless they are ancestors, and the descendants of the ancestors pray that the ancestors will come down and ambush these two demons to ensure the stability of the world."
Xiahou Jian looked at Pang Yong in surprise and said, "My two descendants plus Xiao Qian joined forces, and they even came back defeated, when did such two big demons appear in this world?" ”
Yan Chixia said: "Then let's go and have a look!" Don't let anything happen to these juniors. ”
Li Fei waved his hand with a strange expression, and said: "You don't have to go, one of these two demons is the Mahayana period, the realm of heaven and man, even if you go to the eldest brother, it may not be their opponent." ”
The expressions of several people moved, and Xiahou Jian asked, "Master knows the origin of these two demons?" ”
Li Fei smiled bitterly: "One of them is your future master, and they are not robbing, but taking back their own things, and that cultural relic is their belongings." ”
"Huh?"
Several people were stunned, and then their eyes lit up, and they all became interested.
Xia Bing said with great interest: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" How can Mrs. Sister-in-law be a monster? ”
Li Fei said: "You don't know what place Leifeng Pagoda is? ”
Pang Yong exclaimed: "Could it be the White Lady and the Green Snake?" The White Lady is definitely impossible, is it possible that the younger brother and sister are green snakes? ”
Li Fei spread his hands and said, "Isn't that her?" ”
Pang Yong said with a smile: "You guy, you have been walking the world for nearly 30 years, and you have seen a lot of stunning beauties of the three clans of demons and ghosts, and I have never seen you move your heart for anyone. ”
"I didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of the green snake in the end, it seems that this green snake has something!"
Thinking of all the incredible postures that Xiaoqing could unlock, Li Fei couldn't help but feel hot on his face, not just something, it was simply too something.
Xia Bing quipped: "It turns out that Brother Li likes this mouthful, but I really didn't see it." ”
Yan Chixia frowned slightly and said, "Xiaoqian, that girl, she had already secretly promised you four hundred years ago, but because of her inferiority, she didn't dare to show her love to you." ”
"In the past 400 years, Xiaoqing and Xiaolian have experienced several relationships, but she is the only one who is clean and self-conscious, guarding herself like jade, and has been waiting for you...... Alas. ”
Other people's jokes Li Fei didn't matter, just laughed it off.
But after listening to Yan Chixia's words, he couldn't help but be confused.
"Xiaoqian likes me? Big brother, you're kidding! ”
Pang Yong said: "This is really not a joke, this is what she said in person after she was drunk once." ”
"That is, she will only say it if you have no news, otherwise she will probably be buried in her heart forever."
Xia Bing echoed: "In the past few hundred years, she has ignored everything, and she has only focused on cultivating, just wanting to cultivate into a yang god as soon as possible and reshape her physical body. ”
"It's not so far away from you anymore, but now ...... Alas, there is one more sad person in the world. ”
Li Fei was silent, his heart was very complicated, he really didn't expect that Nie Xiaoqian would have a deep affection for him.
Knowing this news, he didn't know how to face Nie Xiaoqian.
Originally, he was still thinking that when he returned to the world, he would help them reshape their bodies, what could be done now?
When Li Fei was silent, Xiahou Jian had already informed the descendants of the identity of the two demons with a secret method, and at the same time asked him to tell the two demons that Li Fei would soon meet them and take them to Lan Ruo's Villa.
