Chapter 207: Walking through the Underworld
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Chang Jin didn't answer at all, and the sword flew out.
There was a terrible hiss, and the black fog completely dissipated.
Rumble...... Thunder exploded and strong winds raged, and the distant peaks quickly turned into black smoke and melted into the surrounding darkness.
The scenery in front of Chang Jin's eyes changed again, and everywhere he looked, there was a gray mist and a burst of decay. This world is barren and lonely, and there is no trace of life.
In the distance, there seemed to be a wail coming from afar.
Stepping on this land, Chang Jin has a sense of intimacy.
This place is the underworld
Previously, the exotic evil god was just opening another space in the underworld, turning the evil yin qi into a dead and silent qi, but now the space is shattered, and his figure naturally appears in the underworld.
Thinking of the exotic evil god, Chang Jin's divine consciousness was introspective, and he saw a skeleton with wings appear in the mud palace, and at this moment he still shouted with a trace of divine sense: "Middle Earth Daoist, let me go, otherwise I will let you suffer a curse for eternity."
"Hmph" Chang Jin's divine sense moved slightly, and the divine seal had already fallen, directly smashing the skeleton into pieces.
With a scream, the exotic evil god was sucked into it by the Divine Seal, transformed in a thread, and finally completely dissolved, turning into several true texts attached to the surface of the Divine Seal.
Hey...... However, it was said that the last few true texts returned to their places, and many true texts above the sudden divine seal flew into the void, with a trace of golden light, and finally condensed into a golden talisman.
Chang Jin sensed it slightly, and then understood. It turned out to be a foreign Shinto talisman, but now that the exotic evil god has lost his consciousness, this talisman naturally has no owner, and it will be revealed.
No, it shouldn't be that simple. Chang Jin quickly rejected this judgment again, this talisman was not the one possessed by the exotic evil god, but the divine seal was made by refining the curse and resentment and recombining the true text, and there was a big difference between the two.
The edict was condensed from the real text? Another thought suddenly popped into his mind. Suddenly, I was shocked by my own thoughts.
When they killed the gods of the river in Qingshan Town, the land and other gods, they all had Shinto talismans. The so-called talisman is formed by the condensation of the water veins of a mountain, river, and water, which is regarded as a certificate of the gods. The gods who do not have the talisman, after occupying the god position, as long as they accumulate enough incense and mental power, they can also condense the talisman by chance.
So how to condense the talisman, Chang Jin has always had doubts about this. Now that I saw the Divine Seal True Text condensed into an edict, my heart was like lightning flashing, and I suddenly understood.
The so-called Shinto Edict, to put it bluntly, is a certain law of heaven and earth, which stipulates the rights and obligations of the gods, and as long as this rule is comprehended, the edict can be condensed.
The so-called divine domain is also the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth.
The true text attached to the divine seal in front of you is the law of heaven and earth from which the divine seal absorbs and evolves.
Chang Jin had a feeling of enlightenment, in order to verify what he thought in his heart, he didn't look at the ghosts around him at all, but sat down cross-legged, looked inward, and carefully comprehended the rules of the true text in the divine seal.
Sure enough, several of the true texts contain the spirit of Haoran, which I got from reading the classics. There are also several true texts that are full of killing intent, which is exactly what they realized when they practiced swords.
More of the true text is about the use of evil yin qi, which should be due to the long-term battle with the ghost yin soldiers. There is also a true text of mountains and rivers......
The underworld is dark, and I don't know the sun, moon and stars.
I don't know how long it took, Chang Jin's mind was completely silent in the mud palace, and he carefully experienced the rules of heaven and earth inside each true text.
In this mysterious and mysterious feeling, the luck on Chang Jin's head quietly turned into gold from the original pale yellow, and the initial gold was only half a point, and began to grow slowly.
I don't know how long it took, the divine seal suddenly buzzed in the mud palace, the true text flew, and the luck above his head quickly turned golden.
Thirty percent, fifty percent, seventy percent... It wasn't until seventy percent that the billowing golden qi stopped.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze had become deep, and the whole person seemed ethereal and unfathomable.
Once enlightened, he actually stepped into the realm of earth immortals
Breaking through so easily, even Chang Jin himself felt incredible. He had heard the emperor and Bai Susu talk about that there was an insurmountable curse between the true immortal and the earth immortal. In the past hundred years, because of the lack of spiritual power in heaven and earth, there are only a few cultivators who have become earth immortals.
Now it seems that it is not that heaven and earth lack spiritual power, but that they have not truly comprehended the rules of heaven and earth in this world. This is the greatest value of the Divine Seal, which can extract and condense Chang Jin's perception and gains from this world in his cultivation, and then turn it into a true text, which can then be used by Chang Jin.
Taking an example of an object in the earth in the afterlife, this divine seal is like a clever puzzle cheat.
Chang Jin's feelings and understandings when he cultivated were very messy, but the Divine Seal could stitch together these messy perceptions little by little, and finally form a whole. This Shinto talisman in the Mud Palace was obtained in this way.
His mind moved again, and the true text on the surface of the divine seal flashed again, and sure enough, an edict was condensed soon, but this time it was only red. It shows that Chang Jin doesn't know much about the underworld Yin Division of this world, so he can only condense the Red Edict.
Rao was like this, and Chang Jin was shocked again in his heart.
There is a god seal and a true text, does it mean that he can condense countless red edicts and wantonly seal the gods.
It was a beautiful idea, but it quickly became unrealistic. To condense the talisman, you also need to consume your own luck. If you think about it, you can understand that the superior god gives the lower god an edict, which itself is a separation, and it is normal to consume luck.
After experiencing all kinds of divine seals, Chang Jin remembered to leave the underworld. I don't know how long I have disappeared, and my relatives and friends should definitely be in a hurry.
The surroundings are covered with black fog, and it is impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south. Chang Jin simply followed the wailing sound in the distance.
His feet flew fast, and he walked out of hundreds of miles in a moment, but unfortunately he still didn't encounter a ghost, it seems that this should be a remote area of ghosts, and there are usually no ghosts coming at all, no wonder that the exotic evil god has opened up the underworld here for hundreds of years and no one knows.
After walking forty or fifty miles forward, he finally saw a black beast screaming and rushing towards him forty or fifty feet ahead.
Listen to the voice, the wail that came from it before.
There are also fierce beasts in the underworld, and when this thing is closer than ten zhang, Chang Jin finally sees its face clearly, it is tall, with green faces and fangs, and three eyes, which is originally formed by the condensation of evil yin qi.
There is nothing else in the underworld except ghosts, and it seems that this ghost beast should devour souls for a living.
This ghost beast realm only has the appearance of three turns of human immortals, and Chang Jin naturally doesn't see it right now. When the other party ran to him and opened his mouth, he just finished with a sword.
Although it was a ghost beast, it also let Chang Jin know that he was traveling in the right direction.
He continued to run with his sword, and there were ghosts and beasts on the way. These weak ghost beasts could not pose any threat to Chang Jin at all, and they were all dealt with with with a single sword.
He walked about thousands of miles before he saw a ghost haunt ahead of him.
However, these ghosts were much smarter than the ghost beasts, and the light from Chang Jin's body made them instinctively feel fear, so they just hid from a distance and watched, not daring to approach at all.
At this point, the surrounding evil yin qi had weakened a lot, and it was hazy in the distance, and a few traces of protein appeared slightly.
Seeing this scene, Chang Jin was overjoyed. He was no stranger to this situation, having served as a thoroughfare. The evil yin qi in this place has been cleaned up regularly, so there is such an atmosphere.
Sure enough, after walking forward for dozens of miles, he saw a team of Yin soldiers riding high-headed horses rushing towards him.
When they arrived, the leading ghost general shouted loudly: "Where are you a cultivator, why did you come to Wu Lingbo's fiefdom to do something?"
Chang Jin is not a person who loves to kill, listening to the other party's polite question, he also arched his hand and said: "I am a scattered cultivator in the Yang world, because I killed the evil god, I strayed into the underworld, may I ask where is this place?"
"Oh, it turned out to be a Taoist who killed the evil god, this place is Wu Lingbo's fiefdom, and thousands of miles north of here are all under the jurisdiction of His Royal Highness the King of Chujiang. The ghost will explain.
"Oh, but the head of one of the Ten Halls of Yama, the King of Chujiang?" Chang Jin asked again.
"Exactly," the ghost general nodded, and then continued, "I don't know if people can return to the human world from the Yin and Yang Realm here." If you have this intention, I am afraid that you will have to ask my family master to make the decree public, so that you can pass through the yin and yang realm. ”
Seeing that this Yin soldier was so enthusiastic, Chang Jin was a little surprised, but he still nodded: "That's what I mean."
"Dao Chief, please come with me" After speaking, this team of Yin soldiers led Chang Jin back.
After walking for long, I saw a foul-smelling ditch on the side of the road, and countless ghosts with chains stood in it to clean up the filth.
Beside these ghosts, there was a Yin soldier guarding, and now the ghost moved a little slowly, and immediately waved the leather whip and whipped it, until the other party rolled to the ground and screamed for mercy.
Seeing his companion being beaten, the ghost next to him stared blankly, as if he hadn't seen it.
"Dao Chief, are you curious about this scene?" Seeing Chang Jin's gaze on the ditch from time to time, the Yin soldier explained with a smile, "These people have all committed serious crimes such as hurting people's limbs, raping and killing people in their lifetimes, and now that they have entered the underworld, they will naturally suffer from torture day and night, and they will not be able to be liberated until the sin is exhausted." ”
"I see, I have been taught" In fact, there is a similar record in the land scroll, but this is the first time he has seen such a real scene.
On the way forward, Chang Jin asked about the underworld again, and most of the ghost generals answered, and when it came to the secrets of the underworld, he just smiled and said nothing.
From the conversation between the two, Chang Jin also knew the origin of this ghost general. His name is Dong Qingshan, originally a person from Nanyue Prefecture, he was brave and ruthless, he was beaten to death by the other party when he fought with someone, and he came to the back of the underworld as a sign of a Yin soldier, and then for a hundred years, he gradually accumulated to the level of a ghost general.
With Dong Qingshan chatting with him, Chang Jin didn't feel bored all the way. What he didn't expect was that there was also a post station in this underworld.
Before coming to the post station, Dong Qingshan turned over and dismounted and said: "The Taoist can rest again, and I will go back to the city to report to the lord." ”
After settling Chang Jin, he led the Yin soldiers to leave in a hurry.
Chang Jin entered the post station to rest, looking at the surrounding environment with some curiosity. The bricks and trees here look no different from Yangshi. The only difference is that it is all made up of the manifestation of yin energy.
After waiting for more than an hour, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
In a few moments, a troika appeared outside the inn.
The horse was full of yin energy, and it was obviously also a manifestation thing. The carriage was pitch black, and the wheels had ghostly fires flickering. There are also several Yin soldiers standing in front of and behind, left and right.
There are also two ghost generals riding high-headed horses at the front, Dong Qingshan is behind, and a ghost god dressed as a middle-aged scribe is in front.
After standing outside the post station, the ghost god turned over and dismounted, saluted Chang Jin, and said, "This is Chang Dao Chang from the world? Wu Lingbo greeted guests under Shi Zhao Xian has seen Chang Dao Chang. ”
Seeing the other party's polite appearance, Chang Jin hurriedly returned the salute.
After the two sides finished saluting, Zhao Xian spoke again: "My lord is a hospitable person, I heard that my subordinates reported that some monks in the world have strayed into ghosts, so I set up a banquet in the city to entertain them, I hope that Chang Dao Chang can stay here for a few days, so that my lord can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." With that, he stretched out his hand and made a word of invitation.
Chang Jin did not resist and stepped into the carriage.
The carriage was also no different from the world, but the interior was extravagant and comfortable to make
As soon as he was seated, the carriage rolled forward. It's fast, almost racing.
It took about a stick of incense to see a city in front of me.
The city is about seven or eight zhang high, and the arrow tower on it is equipped with a watchtower, which is no different from the human protective fortress
At this point, Chang Jin has already seen that in fact, there is not much difference between the underworld and the human world. When you enter the city, you can see many men and women walking around the streets.
It's just that it's less hustle and bustle than the real streets. Seeing the carriage, the "pedestrians" on the street avoided one after another.
The carriage went straight down the road and finally stopped in front of a mansion.
Zhao Xian, the scribe who had been ushered in earlier, had already come to the carriage and shouted: "Chang Dao Chief, this is the mansion of my lord, please dismount ......"
Chang Jin got out of the carriage and looked closely. This Wu Linghou Mansion is really extraordinary, the whole palace covers an area of several miles, its internal yin qi is scarce, and there is a trace of Zhongzheng and peaceful atmosphere floating above the palace, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally when they are close.
The blue bricks in the mansion are paved, the white jade is the column, and the rockery in the courtyard is clear, and the five do not have.
When Chang Jin followed Zhao Xian into the palace, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on a throne. The other party wears a pearl jade crown on his head, three beards under his forehead, and is wearing an official robe, which is very graceful.
"Are you a Taoist from the human world?" Wu Lingbo was quite interested in Chang Jin, looked up and down, and asked.
"Exactly" Chang Jin bowed. Immortals don't worship God, this is already a common rule in the world, although the other party is the god of the underworld, Chang Jin is just a simple hand.
"The Tao Changrong shines brightly, and it is really extraordinary. I don't know what kind of evil god the chief was killing before?
"Oh, it's a foreign evil god all the way, who opened the underworld space in the underworld, and has been killed by me. Chang Jin replied.
"What...... Is this true?" Hearing this, Wu Lingbo asked excitedly.
"There's no fake," Chang Jin replied with a puzzled face. He had no idea why the other party was so out of shape.
"Chang Dao Chang didn't know that the exotic evil god sneaked in from the gap in the blood sea of Huangquan, and was usually extremely hidden, only occasionally coming out to plunder a few Yin soldiers to replenish the space of the underworld.
It is difficult to find its traces, and the king has sent large armies to encircle and suppress it several times, but most of them have returned in vain, and they cannot find their hiding place at all. Now that Chang Gongzi has exterminated a foreign evil god, if I report this matter to the Lord, I will definitely have a heavy reward. It's just that Chang Dao Chang is a person in the Yang world, and the reward of the underworld is estimated to be of little use to Chang Dao Chang. ”
"I also do it casually, how dare I ask for a reward. Chang Jin shook his head and refused. The various changes in the Divine Seal are humanity's greatest reward for himself, and he doesn't need more at all.
After talking a few words, Wu Lingbo spoke: "Chang Dao Chang rarely comes to the underworld once, and the city mainly holds a banquet and entertains, and orders his subordinates to prepare a banquet. ”
"The city lord doesn't have to be like this," Chang Jin thought that the meal was transformed by yin qi again, and he couldn't use it at all, so he didn't have the intention of going to the banquet at all.
"Chang Dao Chief," as if he understood what he was thinking, Wu Lingbo explained: "The things used in the banquet are not transformed by Yin Qi, but produced by our underworld, especially the wine that retreats from Yin and returns to Yang, which is of great benefit to cultivators, and Chang Dao Chang must not refuse." ”
In this way, Chang is better to be respectful than to obey his fate. Chang Jin had no choice but to respond. Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, Chang Jin has already made up his mind to see what the other party is doing and why he is so enthusiastic.
