Chapter 182: The Strength of the Underworld
In the dimly lit hall, Li You quietly watched the performance of King Yama and the bull-headed horse, and was silent.
This mythical and legendary King of Yama is not as weak and incompetent as he was shown in the Journey to the West in his previous life, and he can only go to heaven to complain after being bullied by Sun Wukong.
Now he was in the Yama hall, and he could clearly feel the faint coercion that was vague, and this feeling he had only felt in Guanyin and the Bodhisattva King of the Earth.
Although this is also because he is in the Yama Hall of the Netherworld, the Yama King must have a bonus in combat power on the home field, but it can also be seen that the strength of this Yama King is by no means simple.
There are at least ten strong people like this in the underworld, and they all belong to the Heavenly Court!
King of Yama, known as "King of Hades", "King of Yama", "Lord of Yama", "King of Yama", "King of Yama", "King of Yama", is the master of the fifth hall in the underworld, is a god of the underworld in ancient Chinese religious mythology, and is said to be the ghost king who is in charge of the life and death of all living beings in hell on earth, demigod and half ghost, a well-known god of the underworld in the underworld, and often takes "black and white impermanence" and "bull head and horse face" two pairs of ghosts as the right hand and right hand in the underworld.
According to the Ask Hell Sutra, King Yama was the king of the kingdom of Bisha during his lifetime.
But in fact, the king of Yama, including most of the cow ghosts and snake gods in the underworld, are the remnants of the Wu clan who have nowhere to return after the defeat at the beginning!
At the beginning, the Lich War almost wiped out the two Lich Clans, not only losing their status as the overlord of heaven and earth, but even the survival of the clan became a very big problem.
Because there are too many killings, the karma of the two races is too strong, so the demon race has since become the lowliest race in the flood wilderness, and it is either used as a mount or reduced to food.
It is precisely because of this that hundreds of millions of demon clans can survive!
However, although he survived by luck, because of karma, the demon clan has been lonely and out of control since then.
The Wu Clan, on the other hand, is in a relatively better situation.
On the eve of the Lich War, the Houtu Ancestor Witch of the Twelve Ancestors of the Wu Clan followed the will of the Heavenly Dao, incarnated as a reincarnation, and completed the operation of the Heavenly Dao, and obtained great merit in this way, and entered the realm of saints in one fell swoop!
However, because of this, the Houtu Ancestor Wu could not take half a step out of the reincarnation underworld, and eternal life could only maintain the operation of reincarnation.
Therefore, in the absence of an ancestral witch, the Twelve Heavenly Gods of the Wu Clan became crippled, and they were unable to summon the Pangu Phantom that terrified the Heavenly Dao of the Flood Desolation, so they would lose both sides in the Lich War.
However, it is precisely because of this that the Wu clan only had a place to go later.
The underworld of Houtu!
After this battle, the Wu clan entered the underworld and became a yin cha to maintain the operation of the underworld, and it was also considered to obtain a little heavenly merit to offset the huge karma.
In addition, most of the merits of reincarnation in Houtu were used to offset the karma committed by the Wu clan, so that the remnants of the Wu clan could survive.
Otherwise, the Wu Clan will be forever targeted by the Heavenly Dao, and there will be no place for the Wu Clan in the Great Desolate World!
Although the full name of Houtu is Chengtian and imitates Houde Guangda, Houtu Emperor is the fourth emperor of Taoism in the "Four Emperors/Six Emperors", who holds yin and yang and nurtures all things, so it is called the mother of the earth.
But in fact, it was just her good corpse and peaceful mother, and Houtu itself had already transcended because of incarnation and reincarnation, and became the supreme and eternal saint!
After the Wu clan entered the underworld, the Yin Division was established after the earth-earth reincarnation, and many gods similar to the heavenly court were vacated, most of which were held by people from the Wu clan, so the Yin people would have that strange appearance.
In addition to the back earth, that is, Pingxin Niangniang, there is also a special existence in the underworld, and the King Bodhisattva of the Earth is nailed to the underworld as a nail in the Buddha's door.
There is also the Styx Ancestor in the endless sea of blood, which is also on the side of the separation.
In addition, according to legend, the king of Yama in the Ten Halls of Yama is the supreme ruler of the underworld, ruling the eighteen layers of hell in the underworld, and his main job is to manage the yang and yin life of living beings, and has the supreme power to control the life and death of all things in the Three Realms, both a ghost and a god.
The yin and yang lives of all living beings are governed by their life and death books, and those who are not under the control of the king of Hades are only lonely souls and wild ghosts who will never be reborn, followed by those immortals and gods who have achieved positive results.
His subordinates include: ghost judges, black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, Zhong Kui, Meng Po, Di Gong, You Xing, Cheng Huang, countless Yin soldiers and ghost generals.
The god of the underworld, a demigod and a half-ghost, controls life and death and all kinds of ghosts, all ghosts are afraid, blue-faced fangs, fierce faces, symbolizing terror, the emperor of the underworld, the residence of the underworld, the eighteen layers of hell imprison thousands of ghosts, some ghosts, some ghosts are ghosts and ghost thugs, responsible for punishing and beating evil ghosts.
The majesty of this king of Yama in folklore is very great, and there is even a break to say: The king of Yama makes the third watch die, who can keep you until the fifth watch, the king of Yama opens a restaurant - the ghost does not come to the door, gets up in the middle of the night and scolds the king of Yama, and waits for death to wait for tomorrow and so on.
Although on the surface, King Yama is the ***** of the underworld, but in fact, there are nine others with the same status as him.
The ten halls have lords, called the ten kings of the underworld, and the ten kings have their own names, collectively known as the ten palace kings.
The first hall: Qin Guangwang Jiang, born on the first day of February (one says that it is the second day of the first month of February), is in charge of life and death in the world, and controls the good and evil.
The second hall: King Chujiang, born on the first day of the first month of March, is in charge of the living hell, that is, the cold ice hell.
The third hall: Emperor Song, born on the eighth day of the second month, is in charge of the Black Rope Hell.
The fourth hall: King of the Five Senses, born on February 18, is in charge of the Great Hell, that is, the Hell of the Blood Pool.
The fifth hall: King Yama, born on the eighth day of the first month, is dedicated to calling the Great Hell.
The sixth hall: King Bian Cheng, born on the eighth day of the first month of March, is in charge of shouting the Great Hell and the City of Death.
The seventh hall: King Taishan, born on March 27, is in charge of the lively hell, that is, the meat sauce hell.
The eighth hall: the king of the city, born on the first day of the fourth month, is in charge of the big and lively hell, that is, the hell of the stuffy pot.
The ninth hall: King of Equality, born on the 8th day of the fourth month, is in charge of the iron net and the hell.
The tenth hall: the Wheel King, born on April 17, is in charge of solving ghosts in each hall, distinguishing between good and evil, verifying the level, and sending it to reincarnation.
After the reincarnation of the earth, the underworld is in charge of all the dead souls, and there are several gods among them who are more powerful than these ten halls of Yama.
The Emperor of Xudu, who rules the entire underworld, is even on par with the Emperor of Heaven in terms of personality!
It is only because there are three ways of heaven, earth and man, and only the way of heaven is dominant, so the personality of the Emperor Xudu is subordinate to the emperor of heaven and obeys the dispatch.
In addition to this, there are also the Five Ghost Emperors.
Then below is the six days of Luo Xu.
The Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace.
Next is the Ten Hall Yamas!
It can be seen that there is definitely a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the underworld, and the danger level is comparable to a desperate situation!
So Sun Wukong can make a fuss smoothly from such an underworld, and then modify the book of life and death at will?
It's just that the prefecture deliberately let such a scene happen in order to cooperate with the Buddhist exercises.
Because Buddhism needs a protector who does not understand common sense and is easy to control.
This protector of heaven is destined to be the Monkey King!
However, Sun Wukong is the origin of a quarter of the Chaos Demon Ape who controls the Great Dao of War among the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, and he also has the colorful stones left by Nuwa Niangniang to replenish the heavens to nourish his body, so the Buddhism Gate has gone to such great lengths to completely control it.
As soon as Sun Wukong was born, he used some means to make Sun Wukong realize the temptation of immortality, and then he would go to sea to ask for immortals.
Under the intervention of the saint's corpse, Sun Wukong went through "a lot of hardships" and finally found the Bodhi ancestor to learn the arts.
However, Bodhi Ancestor only taught Sun Wukong some ordinary and vulgar methods, and did not explain all kinds of things in heaven and earth.
This monkey born in the mountains and wilderness thought that Lao Tzu was the first in the world after studying for a few years.
Then, the Bodhi Ancestor used a lame reason to say that Sun Monkey was using his magical powers and drove him out of the mountain gate!
Subsequently, Sun Wukong's arrogance unsurprisingly made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
And that's not all.
Sun Wukong has a quarter of the origin of the Chaos Demon Ape, and has Nuwa Niangniang's Heavenly Stone to nourish his body, and his innate supernatural powers are incomparably powerful.
When he was just born, there were two divine lights in his eyes, which even made the Jade Emperor look sideways and shocked!
