Chapter Eighty-Four: The Difference Between True Spirits, Emperor Wangdi of Ancient Shu
Outside the city of Anping Province.
Wang Li, with his sword, stepped on the snow and walked with Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui had already seen everything in the City God's Seal, and he scolded and became angry, but after knowing that he was dead and the Yuan Shen had dissipated, he gradually stabilized.
He looked at the tall city walls from afar, and sighed, "I didn't expect that a city god would commit such evils. ”
Wang Li said: "Thirty thousand yin souls, didn't the underworld notice it at all?" ”
"Hey, I know what you kid wants to say, but you don't know the city god, let alone the underworld. It seems that the city god is like a yang official in the world, but in fact, the authority is heavier, because there is no emperor on the head of the city god, and all affairs are tied to one body, and the territory is no different. ”
"Always?"
"It always has been!" Zhong Kui nodded heavily, and then his eyes showed a look of reminiscence: "I still remember that a long time ago, I once wrote to the Emperor and Tianzun, talking about the matter of the city god, and later Tianzun summoned me to meet me, but then something happened, so I didn't do it." ”
Wang Li's head bowed slightly, and he had doubts, but it was inconvenient to ask more.
Zhong Kui continued: "As soon as this incident happens, there will be a shock in the city gods everywhere, and the prefecture will also strictly investigate it up and down, which can be regarded as a good thing. It stands to reason that this matter should have been in charge of the Yin Law Division Cui Judge, but he went to the heavenly court with the King of Hades, and the rotation of duties should be accepted by the Chacha Si Lu Judge, but this guy doesn't know what he's busy with recently, so he can only be judged by this sentence. If Cui Yu comes, you kid don't want to say a word, and first detain your soul and go down to the underworld. ”
Cui Ju Cui Yu, who is in charge of the book of life and death in the Yin Law Division, and Lu Ju Dao of Chacha Si Lu Ju Lu are all half acquaintances of Wang Li.
Zhong Kui stopped and looked down at Wang Li.
"Little carp, the evidence of the Anping Mansion Chenghuang is conclusive, but after all, he is a ghost immortal registered in the underworld, but he was beaten by you, a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, to dissipate the Yuan Shen, what do you say?"
The corners of Wang Li's mouth twitched, and then he arched his hand calmly: "Under the surname Wang Mingli, the orthodox human race, not a small carp." As for the dissipation of the primordial spirit, as a disciple of Shushan, seeing such a heartbroken thing, how could he not raise his sword out of the sheath and kill the demons? ”
Zhong Kui glared and said: "Don't say that you are a disciple of Shushan, even if you are an elder of Shushan, you can kill the Yin God of the underworld without authorization, and you should be ready to give me an explanation of the underworld." ”
Wang Li paused for a moment and asked, "I don't know how to explain?" ”
"Well, follow me to the underworld, if you are guilty, I am afraid that you will not have to endure the suffering of hell."
"Yes."
Wang Li's eyes did not blink, and his complexion remained unchanged, which surprised Zhong Kui.
He pressed Wang Li's shoulder with a big hand: "Little carp, are you really afraid?" ”
Wang Li pursed his lips and said calmly: "Zhong Judgment, if I am guilty, I deserve to be punished, if I am not guilty, the underworld will naturally not be punished." So, what's the fear? ”
"Tut-tut~" Zhong Kui shook his head while staggering, and moved a big hand to the top of Wang Li's head, almost covering Wang Li's entire head, "I just saw it well, and it was really not bad, you kid is really not afraid of the underworld." How old are you? ”
"More than fourteen years old."
"Afraid of ghosts?"
"Don't be afraid."
"Bloody then?"
"I'm not afraid."
"Then what are you kid afraid of?"
Wang Li thought about it, thought about it again, and thought about it......
Zhong Kui was probably an anxious man, so he couldn't wait, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, this sentence is just joking with you, Shushan is an immortal sect, and you should enjoy the right of immunity, and your kid is an inspector, the evidence is conclusive, so it is okay to kill him." It's just that his true spirit has been put away by you? The last question came out of his mouth, and he looked a little serious.
Wang Li shook his head.
Zhong Kui asked: "Really?" ”
Wang Li: "Not really. ”
Zhong Kui stared at him for a moment before saying, "Okay, it's good if you don't have it." True spirits are not the same as souls, beating people to the point that their souls are scattered, it is nothing, but if the true spirit is annihilated, then it will inevitably increase karma. It is important to know that the true spirit is not a soul, but the root of the living soul, and if the true spirit still exists, then the future can also give birth to three souls and seven spirits, and it is another life creation, but if the true spirit disappears, then from now on, the three thousand worlds and endless time and space will completely lose a living being. ”
These words seem to be casual and like a warning.
Wang Li remembered it in his heart, but he remained silent.
Seeing this, Zhong Kui said no more, and the two continued to walk towards the city gate.
"Have you notified Shushan?"
"I've sent a message back, and it's estimated that someone will be coming soon."
Zhong Kui nodded, and suddenly smiled: "I have met your master, she is definitely a genius, and her talent should directly become a heavenly immortal, but it's a pity...... She is a bit fierce, but she is also like you, jealous and hateful, and straightforward. Lingxu Sword Immortal had been to the underworld back then, and had a good time with Wei Judge, but it was not in this sentence and could not be seen. ”
When it comes to elders, Wang Li can only nod his head in agreement, and it is difficult to make a sound.
However, the Wei judgment in Zhong Kui's mouth should be Wei Zheng, the "human mirror" of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Li suddenly thought that after Wei Zhengyang passed away, Li Shimin ordered Wei Zheng's tombstone to be torn down, and destroyed the marriage contract between Princess Hengshan and Wei Zheng's eldest son Wei Shuyu at that time. Even in the history of the wilderness, Li Shimin not only knocked down Wei Zheng's tombstone, but also dug up Wei Zheng's bones and whipped the corpse.
If this is the case, I don't know if Li Shimin went to the underworld after his death, did Wei Zheng have a good talk with him again?
Here, Zhong Kui said again: "There are more than 30,000 Yin Souls in total, all of them sleeping in a divine seal, and in the past ten years, although they have not dissipated, they are also very weak. If you put it into the underworld, you must also raise it for three years and five years, otherwise you will be weak and sick after reincarnation, and you may die early. ”
"The underworld is in charge of the six reincarnations, the merits are immeasurable, the Zhong judgment is hard work, and the younger generations admire it."
"Hey, the underworld is indeed immeasurably meritorious, and it all depends on the selflessness of the mother and the endless livelihood of the people. I, Zhong Kui, was just a mortal back then, and I can only do my duty for many years, and I feel deeply ashamed. ”
Wang Li looked at him, saw that his face was worried, and he had the heart to ask, but he felt that he should not be abrupt. So he thought a little and changed the subject.
"Zhong Ju, I wonder if you know what happened to that city god during his lifetime?"
Zhong Kui shook his head: "Of course I don't know, I'm not familiar with him." How, you want to know this? ”
Wang Li said bluntly: "There is a lot of collusion in this matter, and the reason behind it is not yet clear, and the younger generation wants to find out." ”
"Well said."
Zhong Kui waved his sleeves, and a book appeared, and the paper flipped quickly and suddenly stopped.
His big eyes narrowed slightly: "Let me see, his name is Yao Ji, born in ...... Zhou Dynasty? Haha, he is really a veritable old man, who was an official in Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, was demoted to Shu, and was displaced for many years, and served as the head of the Du family, opened up wasteland and reclaimed land, governed the people, and made merits. ”
Wang Li frowned slightly when he heard this.
The ancient official of the Spring and Autumn Period said that he had already learned from Du Xiaoyu that the so-called housekeeper was the housekeeper in the ancient Qing doctor's family.
Dushi, Shudi.
Wang Li's thoughts were surging, and suddenly he remembered the birdsong he had heard before, and a little spiritual light came to him.
"Zhong Ju, is the Du clan the ancient Shu Emperor Du Yu's clan?"
"Let me check...... Hmm, that's good! It is indeed the family of Emperor Wang, and Yao Ji was the head of the family back then, but Du Yu has not yet died, but just abdicated. During Du Yu's reign, he also led the Shu State to participate in the Battle of the Invasion of Xuan, and was a team with considerable combat effectiveness in the coalition army......"
Wang Li listened to him while recalling the relevant information in his head.
According to legend, Du Yu called the emperor in Shu and called the emperor Wang.
There are many legends that followed, but in short, Du Yu turned into a cuckoo after his death.
That is, the origin of "Emperor Wang's spring heart to trust the cuckoo" and "the cuckoo cries blood".
