There are many judges in the underworld.

But there are only four people who can really be called great judges, and there are three at the moment.

The leader is naturally Cui Juan who is in charge of the Yin Law Division, Cui Jue holds the book of life and death in his left hand and the soul hook pen in his right hand, adding longevity to the good and letting the evil return to the yin. When he was still an official in the world, he was already able to "manage the affairs of the sun during the day and settle the grievances of the underworld at night", which can be described as "picking people and ghosts, better than gods".

Another one is Wei Zheng, who dreamed of slashing the Dragon King of the Jing River, after his death, he entered the Yin Division as an official, and was in charge of the Reward and Good Division, and all the good ghosts before his death were arranged by him;

The third, Zhong Kui, who is in charge of punishing the evil division, is in charge of the evil mirror platform, and all the ghosts who come to report to the Yin Division are reflected in front of the evil mirror platform, showing good and evil, distinguishing good from bad, and the evil souls are all dealt with by him.

Although the fourth land judgment has not yet been born, Fahai knows about it.

It's just that today, these three Gu went out on business, and none of them were in the Yin Division, and the ones who were serving in the Yama Hall at the moment were the minor judges under the three major judges.

"What's so flustered?" King Qin Guang's eyes froze, and he asked in a deep voice: "Where is the soul of His Majesty Tianzhu Kingdom, why haven't you invited it yet?" ”

A small judge hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Your Majesty. The soul of the emperor of Tianzhu Kingdom was not detained by the subordinates of the Yin Division before he flipped through the book of life and death. See."

"See what?"

"His Majesty Tianzhu Kingdom still has nine years to live"

As soon as these words came out, King Qin Guang couldn't sit still, walked over in three or two steps, took the sub-book of life and death in his hand, and found the name of Emperor Tianzhu at a glance, and he could also see that the number of his yang longevity was indicated later, and he couldn't help but exclaim at this moment: "How can this be?!" ”

Just because your life is not over doesn't mean you won't die.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many ghosts in the underworld.

The difference is that if the body in the yang world is intact, then there is still a chance to return the yang, and vice versa. can only stay in the underworld, wait for the yang life to be exhausted, and then go to reincarnation.

It's like the lord of the black chicken country back then, who can still return to his soul after three years of death. The root of it is that the physical body is protected by the Well Dragon King, and the yang life is not exhausted, so that it can be brought back to life.

Otherwise, the gods will not be saved.

This matter is also ordinary, but it happened to Emperor Tianzhu, and this Emperor Tianzhu is still friendly with Master Sanzang, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to end.

People are not in the underworld.

King Qin Guang saw that Master Sanzang's expression seemed to be a little solemn, and when he was about to say something, he had already seen Master Sanzang get up: "Since the soul is in the underworld, the poor monk will leave." ”

Fahai didn't ask them if they could find the soul of Emperor Tianzhu. After all, since such a thing has happened, it is not something that these underworld yin gods can handle.

When they saw that Master Sanzang was leaving, they didn't dare to step forward to stop them. Not to mention whether they can stop it, if they really stop Master Sanzang, what can they do?

Fahai left Yin Si and went directly to Yin Mountain.

If there is anyone in the Three Realms who can know the whereabouts of Emperor Tianzhu, or the beginning and end of this matter, it is probably the truth under the throne of the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth.

"Amitabha."

The Three Tibetan Saints and the King of the Earth Bodhisattvas meet each other with Buddha rituals.

Di Ting also looked well-behaved, and flattered Master Sanzang and said, "I have seen the Holy Buddha." ”

Fahai smiled at Di Ting, "It seems that you already know what I mean." ”

"Yes." Di Ting nodded, "But I'm afraid the Holy Buddha will have to run in vain."

"Huh?"

"It's not that I won't say, it's true. I don't know where he went, but when I knew that the Holy Buddha was coming to look for me, I had already activated my supernatural powers to explore the traces of the soul of the Tianzhu Emperor in the Three Realms, but I found nothing. "Di Ting naturally didn't dare to lie in front of Master Sanzang, and no one knew Master Sanzang's methods better than him.

Even among those immortals in the Three Realms, there is no one more open than Master Sanzang, after all, this is a ruthless person who knows the magic power of Di Ting, but still dares to open his heart and let Di Ting listen to his heart without defense.

It is precisely because of this that after seeing the truth of Master Sanzang's inner world, when facing Master Sanzang, he did not dare to deceive at all. This is a treatment that even the Jizo King Bodhisattva does not have.

"Even you don't know where he is?"

"yes." Di Ting is not omnipotent after all, "It is said that the soul of a mortal should not escape my detection, unless someone deliberately bans him, but it will also leave corresponding traces. But this time. If it weren't for the person's mana cultivation that had been able to reach the realm of completely shielding my supernatural powers, then the last possibility left would be. I suspect that its soul is no longer in the Three Realms. ”

"I'm more inclined to the latter, because in the Three Realms, there doesn't seem to be any great supernatural powerhouse who would use such a means to target a Tianzhu Emperor."

Di Ting gave his own judgment.

Fahai and Jizo King Bodhisattva also think that what Di Ting said is not unreasonable, so since his soul is not in the Three Realms. Where would that go?

"Demon Realm!"

Fahai and Jizo King Bodhisattva glanced at each other and gave the answer.

When they were discussing in the Lingshan Daxiong Treasure Hall that day, they did not isolate the listening of the truth, that is, let it inform the Demon King Bodhisattva of the things in the Demon Realm.

After all, compared to the heavenly realm and the human world, the underworld is the easiest place to be invaded by the demon realm, if it was just a heavenless demon ancestor in the past, the Jizo King Bodhisattva and the Emperor Xudu joined forces, so naturally there is no need to be afraid.

But now that there is one more Jade Emperor's demon realm incarnation, "Kuigang Fa Ancestor", the situation in the underworld is not as stable as before.

After Fahai left Yinshan, he went to Guanjiangkou again, after all, although Di Ting and the six-eared macaque are similar, the focus is still a little different, plus the six-eared macaque is currently responsible for monitoring the Three Realms, hoping to have something else.

But the result was still the same, and the six-eared macaque couldn't hear where the soul of Emperor Tianzhu was.

This matter was difficult to get to the bottom of for a while, and Fahai instructed the six-eared macaque to distract him from Li Shimin and several lords of Xizhou, and always inquire about the situation of the original cracks in the demon world, and notify himself as soon as there was a vision.

Hearing that Master Sanzang was visiting, Yang Jian also put down his official business and came to contact Master Sanzang first.

As soon as the two looked at each other, they knew that both sides were insiders of the "Demon Realm Change", so they exchanged information that both sides knew, and communicated with each other, so that they knew what they knew.

When he learned that both the Jade Emperor and the Buddha were going to be reincarnated when the catastrophe came, Master Sanzang and Erlang Zhenjun fell into a pause at the same time, and the six-eared macaque on the side even said: "Could it be that the two of them deliberately made a game in order to have an excuse to go down to earth?" ”

Probably not, right?

But Fahai and Erlang Zhenjun don't know why, they don't have much confidence in the Jade Emperor and the Buddha at this moment.

"Alas-" Yang Jian sighed lightly, "If that's the case, it's fine." ”

It's not a big deal for them to be a little tired, at least they know that the calamity is not real, which may be a good thing for the beings of the Three Realms.

It's true that they're afraid of disaster, and it's also true that the two of them take the opportunity to fish.

But no matter what, the two of them will do their part.

However, if this is really the Jade Emperor and the Buddha, then I hope they can hide for a lifetime and not show any flaws, otherwise Erlang Zhenjun's three-pointed two-edged spear and Sanzang Master's nine-ring tin staff will let them know what it means to love the "beings of the Three Realms".

Three months have passed in a blink of an eye.

Wang Xuance, who sent an envoy to Tianzhu, also returned to the Tang Dynasty today, Wang Xuance went to Li Shimin to return to his life, and Wujing naturally returned to the Great Ci'en Temple to report the harvest of this trip to the master.

"Master." Wujing saw the master and saluted first.

Because of the sound transmission device left by the great sage, Wujing kept in touch with the master at all times, so the news that the master got from Yin Si, Wujing knew about it, and some basic information about his exploration in Tianzhu had also been reported to the master before.

"Master, please see."

Wujing went straight to the point, took out the body of Emperor Tianzhu from his Qiankun bag, and put it in front of the master.

"The disciple secretly probed the body of His Majesty Tianzhu Kingdom, and there were no fatal internal and external injuries, nor was it poisoned to death, but it was more like his soul was instantly withdrawn. In order to prevent any mistakes, the disciple also brought the body of His Majesty of Tianzhu Kingdom. When passing through the country of black chickens, I went to borrow the Dingyan Pearl from the King of Jinglong. ”

Wujing's ability to endure the Fahai is known, in addition to the Dingyan Bead, the Dharma breath attached to it should be that Wujing used his own mana to nourish the body of Emperor Tianzhu before receiving the Dingyan Bead.

"After the death of His Majesty Tianzhu Kingdom, there was civil strife in the country" Wujing also told the master the current situation of Mingzhu Kingdom, "The country is divided into five, each of which is in charge of the prime minister who wants to take advantage of the chaos to usurp the throne, leading 50,000 rebels to surround the imperial city, and Wang Xuance broke the formation and captured the thieves alone."

Then the division of King Qin of Yuhua Prefecture entered Beijing, and King Yuhua assisted the prince to ascend the throne, and now the rebellion in Tianzhu has been basically quelled. The new emperor of Tianzhu sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, sent letters of state and many gifts, and wanted to form a brotherly state with the Tang Dynasty. ”

Fahai just listened to this matter, diplomatic exchanges between countries, that is the matter of the emperor's brother Li Shimin.

What he has to do is to protect Li Shimin's safety, don't let him suffer the same plot as Emperor Tianzhu, at least he must pass Yangshou smoothly.

"Holy Buddha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the martial artists have arrived."

Today is the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the martial arts people went to the Great Ci'en Temple to study Buddhism, and it was Fahai himself who taught them the essence of the scriptures.

"Let them come up."

Fahai is usually not in the main hall, but on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Wujing took the body of Emperor Tianzhu away and took it away, and when he came out of the tower, he met the prince and the martial artist for some reason, and Wujing always felt that these two were weird.

It seems that they are deliberately distancing themselves from each other.

Wujing didn't take this matter to heart, just like Master. Those of them who are apprentices have always been reluctant to get involved in other people's household affairs.

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Elder."

After Wujing and the crown prince Li Zhi saw each other, they left by mistake.

Martial artists have long been accustomed to ignoring their own enlightenment. I have to say that the Holy Buddha is really different from those mortal monks, and the martial artists are quite confident in their appearance, otherwise they would not be selected into the emperor's harem.

But a few disciples under the Holy Buddha Sect were unmoved when they saw him, at most, the pig elder could stay on his body for a while longer. But the martial arts people can feel very clearly that there is no lust in the eyes of the other party, just a simple appreciation of their own appearance.

On the top floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Li Zhi and Wu Cairen bowed to Master Sanzang and said in unison: "Teacher." ”

Although he is not a disciple, after all, he is studying here, so Fahai asked them to call themselves a teacher, which can be regarded as fulfilling this teacher-student relationship.

"Well, there's no need to be polite."

The prince and the martial arts learned Buddhism from Master Sanzang.

Li Shimin summoned Wang Xuance, who was sent to return to China, and after Wang Xuance reported the affairs of this trip, Li Shimin sighed and sighed: "Tianzhu has gone through this chaos, and I am afraid that it will not be as prosperous as it used to be." ”

Wang Xuance, as a representative of the Tang hawks, directly stated to Li Shimin, "Although it is rumored that Tianzhu is the same size as my Tang Dynasty, it is only in terms of territory, if you talk about the prosperity of the national strength and the strength of the soldiers and horses. Your Majesty, with all due respect, if it weren't for the fact that the two countries were separated by 180,000 miles, only 3,000 Xuan cavalry led by the Duke of Pingyang would be enough to levy him as a state. ”

If you talk about your knowledge outside, Wang Xuance said that it was the second in the Tang Dynasty, and no one dared to call it the first.

Under the protection of the Lingshan Buddhism, the people of Tianzhu have long lost their enterprising spirit, even if the emperor has the intention to reform. But it is difficult for the government decree to go to the countryside at all.

Compared with the highly centralized imperial power of the Tang Emperor, the power of the Tianzhu Emperor seems to only affect the left of Gyeonggi, otherwise the emperor will not die here, and the other side will be directly divided into five countries.

That is, the king of Yuhua in Yuhua Prefecture led the army to the king in time to assist the prince to ascend the throne and stabilize the domestic situation, otherwise I am afraid that Wang Xuance protected the prince of Tianzhu to ascend the throne and quell the rebellion.

At that time, whether Wang Xuance will still look at the face of King Yuhua and agree to the "brotherly covenant" invited by Tianzhu is two words.

After all, this kind of thing is "begging the Son of Heaven to please not be a minister", it is all the political wisdom left by the ancestors, how can Wang Xuance, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, not be proficient in this way.

As long as he has a firm foothold in Tianzhu, he will make his majesty clear and send several right-hand men to help Emperor Tianzhu stabilize the government. I'm afraid that Tianzhu is only written as "Tianzhu", but will be read as "Datang".

Like Prime Minister Tianzhu, who directly led the troops to rebel and rebelled, it was too untechnical.

"It's a pity."

Obviously, Li Shimin also has the same tacit understanding, and said in his heart: "If the royal brother is not good friends with the king of Yuhua"

Tianzhu is better, after all, it is far away, but it is like a treasure elephant, a black chicken, and the lords of Chechi countries are all friendly with the royal brother. This makes it really difficult for him to directly use the army to conquer.

Since the west is not easy to do, Li Shimin's eyes are naturally placed on the east of the map of the four continents.
