Volume 9: Why Do You Want the Old Sword Chapter 131 Yin Yang Tour
Idiot, wandering the water pavilion.
The demon world and the god world are the same, there is no day and night, the four seasons are the same, at the beginning of winter, the cherry willow lake is still rippling in spring, the red and bright willow cherry blossoms are reflected in the clear lake water, and the wind will bring the intoxicating fragrance to the distance. In the water pavilion, a woman in a neon dress and a feather coat with a stunning posture is lowering her head to stroke the piano, and the carp in the lake has sunk to the bottom of the water due to obsession, and there is a faint wave on the surface of the lake.
Suddenly, she stopped the piano and frowned, "What a rare guest." I don't know which gust of wind blew the first sword-casting master of the demon world? ”
As soon as the words fell, a golden magic circle rose beside the woman, Ling Feng held Han Ye's body, slowly stepped out of the magic circle, and said coldly: "I must have something important to discuss with you, where is there so much nonsense?" ”
"Something important?" Shui Luoying lowered her head and stroked the qin, pretending to be puzzled and said: "You boys have something to do, so you should go to a man to discuss, I am a woman, where is I qualified to discuss with the Crazy Earth Demon Venerable?" Won't you miss your great things? ”
Ling Feng turned into a golden light prison and sealed Han Ye in it, while he leaned forward, the golden light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to Shui Luoying, grabbed her white as snowy neck, and said, "Speak so harshly, do you want to die?" ”
Shui Luoying was calm, his eyebrows shrugged, let him pinch his neck, looked at him-for-tat, and said, "Yes, I'm looking for death...... Master Ling Feng, if you are a man, give me a good time, anyway, it is not interesting to live. ”
Ling Feng stared at her for a long time, then suddenly let go, put his hands behind his back, and looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hmph, hahahaha!" You're still the same, which makes me love and hate, funny. As he spoke, he looked at Shui Luoying and said, "But you'd better be careful, this person is very important to me, if you move a hair of him in the future, don't blame me for not remembering the past." ”
"Do you have anything to do with me? Ling Feng, you are your sword-forging master, and I am my Idiot Demon Venerable, and I have nothing to do with each other, why should I listen to you? Shui Luoying said angrily: "Besides, you have already killed him, even if I want to, I won't have a chance." ”
"Don't pretend to be stupid!" Ling Feng said with a serious expression: "It's not that you don't know that I just made him out of his body, if he really has the intention to kill him, can he still keep a whole corpse?" After that, he bullied her again, grabbed her soft and boneless hand, and said coldly: "Don't think I don't know your mind and want to drive the tiger and devour the wolf?" Always take some cleverness as wisdom, that's why I'm too lazy to stay with you, get in the way! ”
Shui Luoying really didn't have any temper in front of Ling Feng, her eyes became dim, and she said in annoyance: "That's right, I have the heart to harm him!" He knows our secrets, isn't it for us to kill him too? I did write that letter a long time ago, because no one would live to deliver it for me, and I wanted to see if you really cared. Seeing Ling Feng's disgusted face, he had no choice but to say, "Why did you bring his body here?" Do you want me to keep it for you? ”
Ling Feng turned his back and said, "I sent him to the ghost realm for my own reasons; I have my own reason for you to take care of his flesh. ”
Shuiluo Sakura sighed: "Actually, I don't know, the reputation of the first swordsmith in the Demon Realm can't satisfy you, you want to make a sword that is more powerful than the Xuanyuan Sword, so that you can be regarded as the first in the Six Realms!" It's a pity that you and I are not Chonglou big brothers, if you go in and out of the demon world at will and violate the agreement between gods and demons, you will get into trouble, and finally met Han Ye, he can take this sword to absorb the aura of various places, and sooner or later you can realize your dream. ”
Ling Feng was noncommittal, walked into the distance, and said, "You'd better take care of my business." ”
Seeing that he was about to leave as soon as he came, Shui Luo Sakura stopped him resentfully and said, "Ling Feng! What do you think of this place? Come and go? ”
Ling Feng stopped, didn't look back, and asked, "What?" Do you think you can keep me? ”
Shuiluo Sakura gritted her teeth with real hatred for this person, but she was helpless, after all, she thought that he would be crazy if he stayed, so her tone softened, and said, "But I want you to stay, can't you?" I've been like this, but you're still indifferent, what the hell is your heart made of? ”
Ling Feng glanced back at Shui Luoying and said meaningfully, "Are you still willing to believe me?" ”
Mizuraku nodded.
Ling Feng turned into a golden light array, turned his back to Shui Luoying and said, "Take care of his physical body, if I come back here, I will always accompany you and not return to Aoshan Mountain." ”
Shuiluo Sakura said: "Okay, although I don't know what you want to do, I'll wait for you." ”
Ling Feng's gaze became much gentler, but he never looked back at Shui Luoying, stepped into the magic circle, and returned to his madness.
Besides, Han Ye's soul was beaten out of the body by Ling Feng, and his whole body was wrapped in a layer of golden magic light, and the three souls and seven spirits were able to survive without dispersing, only to know that it was Ling Feng who helped him get out of the body, but the soul was not under his control, and he flew out of the hall flutteringly, and then the fog in front of him was heavy, and when he floated out of the fog, he found that he was transported to the high altitude of a certain realm, and he was falling sharply without stopping.
Just as he didn't know what to do, three golden lights flashed beside him, and the magic sword, candle dragon wine bag, and iron carving dagger all appeared in front of him, Han Ye grabbed the wine bag and pinned it to his waist, held the magic sword and wanted to resist the sword, and was shocked to find that his spiritual power was lost.
At this time, the iron carving dagger shook and stretched out in all directions, turning into a huge iron carving, holding Han Ye on it, which helped him not to fall again, and said: "Master, you just came to the underworld, and you can't adapt to the state of only the soul, just cultivate for a while." ”
"Hades?" Han Ye's expression changed when he heard this, and he said, "Arrived at the ghost realm so soon? ”
The iron eagle nodded and said, "Yes, the iron eagle has come to this world with the gods, and he knows it very well. ”
Han Ye rode the iron sculpture out of the clouds, looked up, there was no sun and moon overhead, the sky was gray, and overlooking the earth, he couldn't help but be shocked - it turned out that the landform of the ghost world was exactly the same as the world!
In addition to the landform, the houses, bridges, roads, etc. on the ground, as long as they are inanimate, are consistent with the human world, the only difference is that some houses are burning with faint green fires.
Seeing Han Ye's face of surprise, Tie Diao said: "The layout here is the same as in the human world, all inanimate things in the human world are collectively referred to as yang/things here, once they change, they will change accordingly, but in the underworld, these things and ghosts can see but can't move." ”
Han Ye asked, "Is there anything that can be seen and moved?" ”
"Naturally. There are many things in the underworld that are completely invisible in the yang world, and they are called yin things here, such as those ghost fires, as well as the unique lava ice, sword mountains and arrow rain, which are only useful for souls, and souls can also change them. The iron eagle said: "But there are exceptions. Master, do you live in the human world and don't notice that suddenly something will fall, or hear the sound of beads falling from the roof? That is, the ghost of the profound Tao has moved the yang/object, causing changes in the human world, and once it is discovered by the ghost, it will be dragged to the deep sea hell to be punished. ”
Han Ye nodded and said, "I see, I just heard what you said about the deep sea hell, how many hells are there like this?" ”
The iron carving has a good memory, and patiently explains: "Lava, ice, thunder, wind roar, knife mountain, quicksand, deep sea, smoke, poisonous insects, cannon branding, thorns, crushing, darkness, boiling oil, stone grinding, erosion, piercing the heart, emptiness, a total of eighteen types of hell, distributed everywhere. As he spoke, he took Han Ye to fly in the air, and Han Ye saw clearly this land and the sea on all sides, some places are full of lava, some places are full of glaciers, the prairie is raining arrows, the hills are full of swords, even the sea is different, some sea areas are rolling, some sea areas are dead and silent, in short, there is no place where the living can stay, but it may not be good for the dead to stay in those places.
"All of this is only effective for the soul, not for the body." Tie Diao said: "All dead people and demons, as long as their souls are sound, will be sent to the Ten Halls of the Yin Division to judge the sins of life, and then the ghosts will escort them to the major hells to be punished, and after the sentence is completed, the sins will be washed away before reincarnation can be allowed." ”
The ghost world, as the name suggests, is a place where ghosts gather. Among them, the lava hell is located in Jiaozhou, Nanjiaozhou, which is full of volcanic lava; The Ice Hell is located in the North Sea, with a thickness of tens of thousands of miles of ice; Thundering Hell is located in Qingzhou in the East, where thunder is deafening all year round; The Wind Howling Hell is located in the southeast of the Yangtze River, and the wind howls all year round, and it is difficult for ghosts to gain a foothold there; The reason why Daoshan Hell is in Yuzhou in the Central Plains is precisely because there are constant swords and soldiers in the world; Quicksand Hell is in Yongzhou in the northwest, where there are many deserts; The deep sea hell is in the vast East China Sea, and the East China Sea in the underworld only has dead and weak water, and even the gods will not stop sinking when they get touched by this water, until they fall to the bottom of the sea dozens of miles deep; The smoke hell is in Jizhou in the east, and the perennial wolf smoke has turned this place pungent and smoky; The poisonous insect hell is in Jingzhou in the south, and the mountains and fields are crawling with rodent poisonous insects; The hell of cannon branding is in the northern state, and the punishment of cannon branding has been popular since ancient times; The thorn hell is in Yizhou in the southwest, and Shu has always had many thorns, and the underworld is no exception; Crushing Hell is located in the mountains of the West, where earthquakes perennially cause ghosts to be crushed by falling boulders from the mountains every day; The dark hell is in Youzhou in the northeast, there is no light all year round, and you can't see your five fingers; The boiling oil hell is in the South China Sea, and all that floats on the sea is boiling hot oil; The stone grinding hell is in Yanzhou, the Central Plains, Yanzhou is rich in wheat, and there are many stone mills in the underworld, which are not used to grind wheat, but the ghosts of ghosts; The Hell of the Erosion of the Body is in the West Sea, and the sea is full of soul-corrupting soul-destroying water; Heart-piercing hell is in the northern prairie, there are countless horses on the grassland in the world, but there is a rain of heart-piercing arrows here all the time, and the grassland is no longer grass, but sharp arrows, which will disappear every once in a while, and fall again in the dark clouds; Across the West Sea and further west, there is a vast, endless empty hell, where there is nothing, not even the presence of other ghosts, only loneliness and loneliness, this place is often exiled by the most sinful evil ghosts, as long as they are sent here, at least thousands of years of exile, after suffering from endless swimming and torment, Yin Si decides whether to complete the sentence according to his attitude.
As soon as Han Ye came to the ghost world, he wanted to find Xue Yan, and he said in his heart: "Since the underworld is opposite to the yang world, where will Yan'er stay?" Soon he thought of a place, that was Luoyang City, where he and Xue Yan first met, this place was Xue Yan's hometown, and it was very likely that Xue Yan would go there.
So, Han Ye ordered the iron sculpture to fly over the mountain full of sharp knives and fell into Luoyang City, Luoyang City at this time was lifeless, and no human voice could be heard, but you could still see a burden swaying on the street, it seemed that someone had collected the stall and gone home, at this time every household turned on the lights, but the house was empty, quite like a ghost town.
Seeing this, Han Ye understood why barren mountains and mountains were easier to hit ghosts, how could ghosts come to such a popular place? Especially in the daytime, all kinds of things are flying around on the street, and I am disturbed by these things, and I can neither touch nor have a good rest, so it is better to go to the barren mountains and mountains to live in peace. So the next time you are hit by some dead branches or stones in the deep mountains and old forests, you won't feel strange, who told you to go to the place where the ghosts live to disturb people's homes?
Han Ye finally understood that most ghosts liked inaccessible places, and Xue Yan's temperament might not stay in Luoyang City, so he asked Tie Diao: "Brother Diao, where do you think my companion should go?" ”
"If you can't say it, maybe you will be reincarnated." Tiediao said: "And the master, don't always call me Brother Eagle, I'm not used to it, just call me Tiediao, I also love to hear this name." ”
"Okay." Han Ye asked again: "Tiediao, I heard others say that there is a Yin Division in the ghost world, so where is the Yin Division?" ”
Tie Diao said: "Have you heard of it? Master. ”
Han Ye nodded and said, "Naturally, I've heard of it and I've been there." ”
Tie Diao said: "The human capital is the yin division of the ghost world, and the ten halls of Yama have created a realm on the basin of the underworld, which is neither affected by the human world at all, nor will it affect the human world at all, and the ghosts can do whatever they want here, so most of them are willing to live there in groups." ”
"Looks like Yan'er will just go there and wait for me." Han Ye frowned, and said to the iron eagle: "Iron eagle, without further ado, let's hurry to the Yin Division!" ”
The iron eagle flew very fast, not inferior to Han Ye's imperial sword flight, and saved a lot of effort for Han Ye, crossing the thorny hills in the basin, Han Ye saw the grand Yin Si periphery, and there were about four kinds of spirits living on the periphery. One is the ghosts who have lived here for a long time, either they have been good in life, or they have been punished, and they do not want to be reincarnated, so they live in the periphery and live their own lives. One is the primordial gods who travel through the ghost world, such as Han Ye, as well as gods, immortals, demons, demons and other categories, but the number is very small; One is the ghosts who have just entered the ghost world, most of them have reached the end of their lives or committed too many crimes, and they are hooked here by the wandering gods day and night (1), black and white impermanence, bull heads and horse faces, because the ten halls of Yama are busy with official business, and they must stay in the periphery and wait for a day or two before they can line up to judge their sins; The last type is the ghost cha who stays in the underworld, most of them are good people or little demons, and they don't want to be involved in reincarnation, so they stay here to serve as errands.
Looking towards the center of this place, you can see the magnificent building, covering an area of more than ten miles, the ten halls are surrounded by an extremely deep ghost aura, the cold ghost aura is somewhat similar to the city wall, it is almost impossible to enter the ten halls of the Yin Si from the side.
The halls are the size of the Qianxin Palace, carved with the image of ghosts and ghosts, and the color is based on dark colors, reflecting the solemnity and solemnity of the ten halls, and there is a long road of evil mirrors between every two halls, so that people can look at the mirror in the process of being interrogated, and the halls go in layer by layer, and finally until the wandering street, the wheel mirror platform, the Nai He Bridge, and the reincarnation well, you can put into reincarnation.
Han Ye knew that he couldn't directly enter the Ten Halls without permission, so he patted Tie Diao's back and said, "Tie Diao, let's go down and find out Yan'er's whereabouts on the periphery first." ”
"Yes, master." The iron eagle descended and landed on a street outside the Yin Si, there were obviously a lot more ghosts on the street, but they ignored Han Ye, and passed by, Han Ye received the smaller iron carving dagger in his hand and hung it on his waist.
Looking at the vast street, facing the cold and yin wind, Han Ye didn't know who to ask Xue Yan's whereabouts, and suddenly saw a shop called "Ghost Yin Restaurant" and entered there.
It is completely possible to open a store to do business around the Yin Si, there are a lot of ghosts in this hotel, the owner is a ghost who drinks and dies suddenly, and because he loves to drink, he stayed here to open a hotel after his death, and the second is a few hungry ghosts, he didn't eat enough before he died, his stomach was shriveled, and he followed the drunkard to do things just to be full.
Han Ye found a table to sit down and called Xiao Er.
The starving ghost staggered over, came to the table, and asked weakly, "Guest officer~you~want~point~what?" He took a closer look and said in surprise, "You're not a ghost!" ”
Han Ye asked in a deep voice, "I'm human, what's wrong?" ”
The starving ghost shook his head and said, "No~what~, in fact, we don't ~row~ reprimand people, it's just that rare guests like you come ~have~less~!" Rare ~ meet ~ on ~! ”
Han Ye saw that this starving ghost was weak to speak, so he got straight to the point and said: "Don't talk about it, you can bring some good wine here, and besides, have you ever seen a female ghost wearing a water blue light suit, wearing a swallow-shaped hairpin, and a petite figure?" ”
"I haven't ~seen~~!" The starving ghost shook his weak hand, turned around, and said, "Wait, guest officer, I'll ~go~get~wine~!" ”
Han Ye looked at the characters in the store again, the long-necked ghost was sitting at the table, stretching his neck to drink soup, the big-headed ghost was banging his head on the table to think about the problem, and the drowning ghost was worrying about the endless well water on his body, Han Ye just swept his eyes at these ghosts, and did not look at them much, but finally fixed his eyes on a person in the distance.
That person is also very yin, but his aura and appearance are very different from other ghosts, he is burly, his hair is short, he wears an orange and yellow robe on his shoulders, a dark iron sword on his back, and a ghost-faced token on his waist, while drinking and pondering, the other ghosts look at him with great reverence.
"This man is anything but simple." Han Ye looked at this chivalrous warrior with interest, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved, and soon, the man opened his mouth and called Xiao Er to settle the bill, Han Ye saw his appearance clearly, this person looks kind and friendly, his face is warm and simple, and he can't say how good-looking he looks, but it gives people a very down-to-earth feeling, Han Ye feels that he seems to have seen it somewhere, but he can't remember it all of a sudden.
Han Ye observed carefully for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of gongs outside the door, as if some important person had come, so he looked at the door, but saw a black peacock spirit wearing a black wing feather robe and two golden gourd sledgehammers on his back striding into the door.
"Grandma, a bear! Store! When other stores see me, they all go out to greet me, why is your store so ignorant? You want me to smash your shop, right? The black peacock essence was angry, followed by several ghost birds, and a sparrow essence also held a gong and knocked on the side of the black peacock essence, screaming: "Birds, beasts, insects and fish, the four yin handsome (2), but my bird's beak, a hundred victories are undefeated!" ”
"Grandma's!" The black peacock spirit was annoyed by the sparrow essence, slapped it, and said angrily: "When you enter the store, give Lao Tzu a quieter!" It's so noisy that my head explodes! ”
The sparrow spirit was dazed and staggered by the slap, and then stood up and trembled to the black peacock spirit: "Small, small understand!" ”
Han Ye didn't have a good impression of this peacock spirit with vulgar words and deeds, and this time he entered the ghost world to find Yan'er, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
"Shopkeeper? What about the store! Grandma's bear! Get out of here! The black peacock scolded and shouted, but he didn't see the store for a long time, it turned out that the drunkard shopkeeper went to the store to get the wine, and the other starving ghosts were as timid as rats, and no one dared to come forward to answer.
The black peacock spirit was angry, at this time, the beautiful girl in white in front of her was walking towards this side with a big teapot in both hands, the little female ghost looked no more than ten years old, she looked very sluggish, her eyes were staring straight ahead, and she was swaying when she walked.
Because the little female ghost was too short, the black peacock spirit didn't notice it, and continued to abuse, and the knight in the knight's robe clenched his fists, seemingly very dissatisfied.
The little female ghost passed by the peacock essence, and the peacock essence waved her hand, but when she heard a snap, the little female ghost was accidentally knocked to the ground, and the teapot in her hand fell to the ground, burning the feet of the black peacock essence.
"Oh!" The black peacock spirit jumped two feet high with her legs in her arms, and when she saw the little female ghost who fell to the ground, she was furious, grabbed her clothes, lifted her into the air, and shouted: "Grandma is a bear!" You little bunny! I don't know you Grandpa Bird, do you? Your shopkeeper will snub me, even you dare to burn Lao Tzu's feet, if you don't slaughter you today, I won't call me a bird's beak! ”
The knight finally couldn't help it, and was about to make a move, but saw a man at another table slap the table and scolded: "Wu Na Birdman, put down that child." ”
When the bird's beak heard this, he went to look at the person who spoke, but saw that the person's eyebrows were clear, his long hair was fluttering, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but sink his face and said angrily: "Dare to call me a birdman?" What kind of dog are you? ”
Han Ye stood up fearlessly, he wanted to sign up directly, and he wanted to travel to the Six Realms to always take a loud nickname, so he blurted out: "Han Ye is the Sword Demon in Xiaxia!" ”
"I've never heard of it!" The bird's beak was stunned for a moment, and said in an arrogant tone: "What if it's a sword demon?" This is Lao Tzu's land, Lao Tzu is the head of the four yin handsome, and the bird's beak bird is handsome! Our wind and thunder are unparalleled in the world, and even the four major judges have to shout their father when they see it! The Holy Netherworld Ghost Emperor is even more invincible in the world, and even the Ten Halls of Yama have to call grandpa when they see it! ”
The sparrow spirit took the opportunity to pat himself on the back and said, "Yes! Even the Ten Halls of Yin Si are afraid of us, you kid dare to come out and be a hero? ”
Han Ye saw that the girl in the bird's beak was trembling, turned into a shining star, and rushed over with a dodge, the bird's beak was smiling proudly, but the person in his hand suddenly disappeared, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Han Ye who ran into the distance, and said with a smile: "Hey! The body is also so-so! But it's still far from Lao Tzu! ”
Han Ye glanced at the bird's beak coldly, soothed the girl in his arms, and suddenly remembered Situ Yunmeng when he was a child, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, big brother is here, no one can hurt you." ”
Seeing this, the knights watching from the sidelines nodded approvingly.
The bird's beak looked Han Ye up and down again, and said: "Your kung fu is okay, accompany Grandpa Bird and I go out to practice two hands, play well, Grandpa Bird can recommend you to join my Netherworld faction, but you can only be a pawn of Lao Tzu!" ”
Han Yewu hugged the little girl and said, "Isn't there a Ten Halls of Yin in the Ghost Realm?" When is your turn to go wild here? ”
The sparrow spirit snatched words in displeasure: "You idiot! Haven't you heard of 'the Ten Halls of Hades have no face, and the Netherworld Ghost Emperor covers the sky with his hands'? ”
Han Ye suddenly laughed and said sarcastically: "I have only heard that 'the jurisdiction of the underworld belongs to the ten halls, the bird's beak, snakes and insects are all on the side, the rabble is not afraid, and the underworld will face the sky sooner or later'." ”
"Good!" The ghosts in the store cheered for Han Ye.
The bird's beak was angry, and pointed at Han Ye angrily: "Grandma, a bear!" You! Come out with me! I have to knock you over with a hammer! ”
Han Ye knew that his skills had not recovered, and this victory was not a percent, but the matter had come to this point, so he had no choice but to hand over the girl in his arms to the starving ghost on the side, and said to the bird's beak: "Go out, I am injured, and I shouldn't have been fighting, but Your Excellency will be with you to the end." ”
So, Birdbeak and Han Ye went to the street, Birdbeak took out a pair of gourd sledgehammers, Han Ye pulled out the magic sword on his back, and saw that a fight was about to start.
Exegesis:
(1) "Day and Night Wandering Gods" - "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" Volume 6 "Overseas Southern Classic" reads: "The two eight gods are in the east of Yumin. He was small-cheeked and bare-shouldered, sixteen of them. Hao Yixing, a famous scholar of the Qing Dynasty, once explained this word: "Xue Zong's note "Tokyo Fu" clouds: 'Ye Zhong, You Guang, evil ghosts also. Eight brothers often do strange things in the world. 'The case is Ye Zhong and You Guang, and there are eight brothers and sixteen brothers, so it is suspected that this is also the case. Therefore, it is believed that there are sixteen gods of the day, and they are headed by Ye Zhong and You Guang.
(2) "Yin Shuai" - on behalf of the image of many ghosts and ghosts in the underworld that are deeply rooted in Chinese folk, the ten Yin Shuai are the ghost king, the day wandering god, the night wandering god, the impermanence ghost, the bull head, the horse face, the leopard tail, the bird's beak, the gills, and the wasp.
