Chapter 32: Once Upon a Time in the Three Realms
After the little guy took his breath, although his soul left his body, he kept shaking beside the corpse and did not go to the underworld.
When the snow was clear, he saw that the black impermanence that had brought him to the underworld appeared out of thin air.
It's just that although the black impermanence appeared, except for the snow and the sunny day, no one present could see it.
Qingyue could see the difference, but in order to prevent Meng Ji from playing tricks and taking the opportunity to escape, she did not follow Xue Tianqing here.
Seeing that Hei Wuchang looked at himself and didn't speak, Xue Tianqing said again: "Why is it just you, that white brother?" ”
Hei Wuchang still didn't care about the snow and the sunny day, but shook the chain in his hand, and grabbed the little girl's soul and was about to take it away.
Xue Tianqing took two steps forward: "Wait a minute, I haven't seen a friend for so many years, can't I say a few words before leaving?" ”
Hei Wuchang frowned: "Do you know that Heavenly Court is looking for you?" ”
Xue Tianqing gestured with his thumb and forefinger: "I know so little." ”
"Yun Zhongjun was ordered by the Jade Emperor to go to the underworld, and asked Yan Jun to check the book of life and death, and want to know your past."
Xue Tianqing scratched her head: "Didn't you say that my name is not in the book of life and death?" ”
Hei Wuchang nodded: "Heavenly Court is investigating Sun Wukong, not Xue Tianqing." I advise you to be more restrained, if you really anger the Heavenly Court, it will be very difficult to clean up. ”
"You didn't tell the truth to Yun Zhongjun?"
"I'm a ghost general of the underworld, what does the matter of heaven have to do with me?"
Hearing this, Xue Tianqing was taken aback: Could it be that the underworld is not under the control of the heavenly court?
Hei Wuchang understood what Xue Tianqing was thinking at a glance at his expression: "From ancient times to the present, the three realms have stood side by side, and each has nothing to do with it. If it weren't for the human king being too greedy, how could the human world have fallen to such a point? ”
It was the first time Xue Tianqing had heard this kind of rhetoric, and he just wanted to continue to ask again, but he saw Hei Wuchang shaking his head and saying: "Willing to fall, not only is there no cure, but it also affects the underworld." I'm going back, be careful, don't become a lonely ghost with nowhere to go. ”
Seeing that Hei Wuchang was dragging the soul of the little guy to leave, Xue Tianqing flashed in front of him: "Can you tell me, what's going on with this village?" ”
Hei Wuchang shook his head: "The affairs of the human world, the underworld is not interested. ”
Xue Tianqing grabbed Hei Impermanence: "Even if you're not interested in this, what about these two people?" ”
Hei Wuchang glanced at the two family members not far away: "They are still alive." ”
"Aren't you soul seducers, and the living can't be taken away?"
"To take away the soul of a living person is to extract the soul of the living, which will hurt the soul, and the reincarnation of ten lives will be a foolish person."
Xue Tianqing smiled: "These two guys do a lot of evil, even if they are stupid, what's the matter?" But there is one thing I don't understand, something like this that is not as good as a beast can still be reincarnated as a human? ”
Hei Wuchang shook his head: "You don't understand what I mean, of course people who do evil can't be reborn as human beings." But when his sins are atoned for, he will be reincarnated. ”
Xue Tianqing gasped: "That means that no matter how many times you have been reincarnated, as long as you are reincarnated as a human, ten times is it a fool to be decided?" ”
Seeing Hei Wuchang nodding, Xue Tianqing frowned and said: "The sins of life, after death, I don't know what kind of rule this is." As long as you are happy in this life, even if you go to the knife mountain and go to the oil pot after death, what's the matter? If there is no newspaper of the present world, how can it be awe-inspiring! ”
Hearing this, Hei Wuchang snorted again: "This is not the evil that the king of people did at the beginning!" Without him, how could the world be like this! ”
Hei Wuchang's words aroused Xue Tianqing's interest, and he wanted to ask, but he saw the other party waving his hand: "I've said enough, what are you going to do with these two people?" ”
"What do you think should be done based on what they're doing?"
"If you hurt your soul, although you will be stupid for ten lifetimes, you will not know the pain, do you understand?"
Xue Tianqing nodded: "I understand, if they withdraw their souls, they don't have to repent in the eighteenth layer of hell when they enter the underworld." No, it's too cheap for them, according to what these two bastards do, the oil pot on the knife mountain and down the oil pot is light. ”
Hei Wuchang looked at Xue Tianqing and said, "It's easy for you to kill them." ”
Xue Tianqing shook her head: "I am a cultivator, for the sake of purifying sentient beings, how can I kill people!" ”
Hearing Xue Tianqing say this, Hei Wuchang's face showed surprise, but before he could speak, he saw Xue Tianqing wave his right hand, and the two family members died of anger.
"I don't kill people, but I kill animals." In the contemptuous gaze of Hei Wuchang, Xue Tianqing said without blushing and without a heartbeat.
Hei Wuchang sighed: "A demon is a demon, and he has just developed his spiritual wisdom and committed such a sin. ”
Xue Tianqing was stunned when she heard this, and just wanted to ask what was going on, but she saw that the black impermanence had locked the souls of the two, and her body began to be transparent.
Seeing that Hei Wuchang disappeared directly on the spot with three souls, Xue Tianqing was very puzzled: back then, they took themselves to the underworld through the light gate, why did they disappear directly this time?
When Xue Tianqing was pondering, Xu Chuan, who came with him, stepped forward and said, "Hero, did you order someone to bury their bodies?" ”
Xue Tianqing came back to his senses and said: "What is there to bury such a beast, just throw it in the mountains and feed the wolves!" ”
Seeing that Xue Tianqing was about to return to the Zhuangyuan, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Hero, what were you talking to yourself just now?" ”
Xue Tianqing said in a deep voice: "I'm not talking to myself, I'm catching up with an old friend." To be exact, it is the black impermanence of the underworld, and just now he came to take away the souls of the three people. ”
Xue Tianqing's words surprised everyone present, Xu Chuan wanted to ask, but saw him turn around and walk back: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and those who are evil are not rewarded, but the time has not yet come." When you go up the knife mountain and get down the oil pot, the evildoer will know that he will regret it. ”
Xu Chuan wiped the cold sweat on his head when he heard this, and then yelled at the family who was standing on the spot: "Why are you still stunned? Go back soon! ”
As soon as she returned to the village, Qingyue told Xue Tianqing that there was a trace of demonic energy wafting by.
But by the time she tried to find the source, the demonic aura had disappeared without a trace.
Xue Tianqing nodded, and then pulled Qingyue back to the guest room and asked about the past of the Three Realms.
Although Qingyue was a little puzzled, she still talked to Xue Tianqing about the origin of the Three Realms.
After Pangu opened the heavens, the light and clear qi rose to become the sky, and the heavy turbid qi descended to become the earth.
When the two qi are separated, the yin and yang qi are generated, which gather outside the heaven and earth to form the current place of the earth.
It's just that the underworld is independent of heaven and earth, and ordinary people can't reach it at all.
When the Three Realms first appeared, the heavenly court and the underworld were empty, and only the human world began to appear with various living beings.
Moreover, the dominance of the human world at that time was not the human race, but the witch race.
The Witch Clan rules over all things in the world, including not only the human race, but also the demon race and other living beings.
It's just that whether it is the human race, the demon race, or even the Wu clan itself, after the death of the body, the soul has nowhere to live, and can only wander in the world.
At first, it was fine, but as there were more and more ghosts, the world became no different from the ghost realm.
The more ghosts, the heavier the yin qi in the human realm, and the shorter the lifespan of various living beings.
The shorter the lifespan, the more ghosts there are. If this cycle continues, sooner or later there will be only ghosts left in the world.
Just when the Wu clan was powerless about it, a treasure flashed in the only remaining chaos in Kunlun Mountain, which was now the treasure of the underworld, the Book of Life and Death.
The Book of Life and Death not only communicates yin and yang, but also records the past good and evil of all living beings in the world, including even several high-ranking innate saints.
After the Book of Life and Death was born, it directly tore open the barriers of heaven and earth and went to the underworld, and at the same time opened up the passage between heaven and earth and the underworld.
After learning that a strange treasure appeared in Kunlun Mountain, and broke through the barriers of heaven and earth and flew to the outside of the territory, the Wu clan masters jointly traced its traces, and finally arrived at the place where the current underworld is located.
When everyone arrived at the underworld, they saw that it was not only suitable for ghosts to survive, but also found another treasure - the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, which can help ghosts die.
In order to ensure the peace of the world, Hou Tu Niang Niang was willing to stay in another world, create an underworld, and lead to the reincarnation of various ghosts, and the world gradually returned to its former prosperity.
Later, with the Emperor Dongyue and the Emperor Xudu going one after another, the underworld finally had what it is today.
Just when the Wu clan created the underworld and had no time to take care of it, two geniuses appeared in another race in the world, the demon clan: the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Demon Emperor Jun.
Dissatisfied with the rule of the Wu clan, the two finally ascended to the heavenly realm and created the heavenly court.
Since then, the demon clan has been in charge of the heavenly court, and the witch clan has been in charge of the underworld and the human world for tens of millions of years.
As time passed, the two lich clans became less and less satisfied with the status quo, and began to turn their attention to the places ruled by the other party, and eventually a great war broke out.
The war lasted for many years and was extremely tragic, even the two Jade Emperors, Taiyi and Di Jun, were killed in the war, and the twelve Wu ancestors of the Wu clan were almost wiped out.
Just when the vitality of both sides was greatly damaged, the Terran race, which had accumulated strength for many years, rose up, and finally swept the Three Realms with a thunderous momentum, taking the entire world into their own hands.
After the Terrans seized the world, each of the three realms returned to its own master: the Jade Emperor, Yama, and the Human King, and this grand scene lasted for thousands of years.
Originally, the status of the three kings was equal, and the three realms were divided into courts, but because the heavenly court was vast and sparsely populated, under the planning of the three Qings, a war of gods was finally ushered in, and the gods of the heavenly realm returned to their respective positions.
Although the War of the Gods greatly increased the power of the Heavenly Court, it led to the decline of the human world. Not only did the masters of the human race ascend to the sky and become gods, but even the human kings of the world, who were originally side by side with the Jade Emperor, also became the gods of the heavenly realm.
When the king of men became a god, he took away not himself, but the artifact of the human world that gathered luck.
Just as the heavenly realm has the Eastern Emperor Bell and the underworld has a book of life and death, the human realm also has its own treasure - the Pangu axe.
The aura of the human world is thin, and because of the Pangu axe, it is possible to continuously absorb the aura used in cultivation from heaven and earth, and it is the eternal prosperity of the world.
The disappearance of the Pangu axe not only makes the world lose a treasure of the world, but also makes the aura no longer exist.
When the aura was still there, the purpose of the cultivation of the Terran masters was the peace of the entire race.
After the aura disappeared, immortality became their ultimate.
So stepping on the road to heaven and ascending Sendai has become the expectation of all mortals.
Since then, the human world has become a vassal of the heavenly realm, and the king of the human race is no longer the king of men, but the son of heaven - the son of heaven.
