Chapter 144: The Book of Life and Death
Hou Tu nodded slightly, looking at Zhou Yu's face with a hint of scruples, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye, only to see Hou Tu groan for a while, and finally spoke,
"I used a secret method to lure the mountain god here, and I really want to entrust something to the mountain god!"
"It's just that before this, I had something I wanted to ask Daoyou?"
"Huh?" Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes turned on Hou Tu, and when he saw that Hou Tu looked calm, there was nothing abnormal on his face, and he bowed slightly,
"Niangniang has any doubts, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, I know everything!"
"Good!" Hou Tu Meiyu smiled and nodded in kindness,
"Daoist friends are here, do you represent the Immortal Dao or the Shinto Dao!"
In a word, she directly expressed Houtu's thoughts, although she did have something to ask Zhou Yu for, but she had scruples about Zhou Yu's identity as an immortal body.
After all, the immortal god is different, even if Zhou Yu hangs the identity of the god of Zhou Mountain, or his body is a god, but what is standing in front of him is not the god of the mountain of Shinto, but a doppelganger who walks on the road of immortals, entrusting a major matter related to the comfort of the divine path to Zhou Yu, even if it is Houtu, he will inevitably have some hesitation in his heart.
"Immortal!" Zhou Yu affirmed without the slightest hesitation,
"Although I am the god of Zhoushan Mountain, I am still standing in front of Niangniang, and this will definitely not change!"
There is a clear distinction between immortals and gods, and when Zhou Yu embarked on the path of immortal and god initiation, especially when he cut off the cause and effect between the body and the doppelganger, he had already made a decision in his heart, Zhou Shan is a god, and Qinglian is an immortal!
Even if the two of them are one, he will not intervene in the affairs of the Immortal Dao as a mountain god, nor will he use Qinglian's clone to participate in the affairs of the Divine Dao!
Just like when he was in the Da Luo Tianmiluo Palace, he put out his body, but the immortal clone did not intend to mix in.
Hou Tu saw Zhou Yu's categorical appearance, and his face was calm, as if Zhou Yu's answer had already been expected.
Don't look at Houtu since Zhou Yu appeared in the Houtu Temple, he has always called him the mountain god, but she knows very well in her heart that what is standing in front of her is just a clone walking on the path of immortals.
The separation of the immortals, the separation of the avenue!
Gods and immortals are different, this point is very clear in Houtu's heart, if she has a choice, she will not entrust that matter to Zhou Yu at all, at least not to the immortal doppelganger in front of her.
If there is enough time...... A thought flashed through Houtu's mind.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have much time left!
Houtu couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
"Niangniang, although I don't plan to be contaminated with the Divine Dao in this body, but what Niangniang wants to say below is probably not just about the Divine Dao!" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up slightly, how could he not see the hesitation in Houtu's heart, but if it was really according to what Houtu said, combined with the current situation in the Netherworld, I am afraid that this matter is not only related to Shinto, but is very likely to involve all beings in the wilderness.
"But after all, this was caused by my Shinto!" Houtu sighed faintly, looking at Zhou Yu with complicated eyes, the trouble caused by Shinto at the beginning had to be entrusted to the immortal Dao person in front of him in the end.
"That's it, even if I don't say it, I think Daoyou has almost guessed it!" Hou Tu shook his head with a wry smile, suppressing the complicated feelings in his heart, even if she didn't hand it over to Zhou Yu, did she still have time to wait for the second person?
"Before that, Daoyou must have been very confused about what happened in the netherworld!" Seeing Zhou Yu nodded, Hou Tu continued,
"Originally, I didn't want to talk about it, but since I decided to hand over this matter to Daoyou, then I should always let Daoyou know what happened to this Netherworld back then!"
Houtu raised his head and looked at the top of the temple with complicated eyes, and after a long time, the faint voice gradually spit out from Houtu's mouth, once again unveiling the fog of the netherworld.
"Although those earth gods were expelled to the netherworld, they did not resign themselves to it, but always wanted to break through the netherworld boundary and return directly to the desolate land again!"
"It's a pity that after the human emperor joined the way, he laid down and closed all the passages leading to the netherworld on the desolate land, only allowing the undead to enter the netherworld, but not allowing the netherworld to enter the earth at all!"
"So they finally came up with a solution!" said Hou Tu's voice here was full of mixed remorse, even a little sadness!
"The undead, they sacrificed all the undead in the Netherworld at that time!"
"What!" Zhou Yu's heart was shocked, and his eyes looked at the sad and complicated Houtu incredulously.
Sacrificing the undead, how many undead were in the underworld at that time, although Zhou Yu was not very clear in his heart, but it was definitely indispensable.
But there is one thing that Zhou Yu can imagine, how many creatures have died in the flood wilderness, how many undead in this netherworld, the original intention of Yue Jian's clan to open up the netherworld was originally to accommodate the souls who died in the flood wilderness, and later experienced the war of the gods again and again, and the undead in the netherworld may have reached an unimaginable number at that time.
However, these undead were all sacrificed by those unwilling earth gods, just to leave the underworld and return to the desolate land.
Madness, even the use of madness, it is difficult to describe the actions of those earth gods!
"What a vain god!" Zhou Yu was angry in his heart, and directly criticized in front of Houtu.
The existence of the gods was originally to improve the order of the flood and protect the creatures of the flood wilderness, but the practices of these earth gods have long been separated from the essence of the gods and have fallen into demons, even more terrifying than demons!
"Then they, in the end, they still failed!" Zhou Yu took a deep breath and calmed the anger in his heart.
"They failed, and they succeeded!" Hou Tu's face became even more sad.
Failure and success? Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this.
I only heard Houtu continue,
"They sacrificed the undead and did let them open up a passage to the desolate land, but found that this passage could not allow them to return to the land at all, only the undead were allowed to pass through!
Zhou Yu suddenly realized when he heard this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking,
"What about the earth gods?"
"It's dead!" Hou Tu's face had returned to calm, and he only heard her say,
"Sacrificing the undead in the entire Netherworld has touched the order that Yue Jian's clan established in the Netherworld, and the Netherworld has backlashed, and these earth gods have all died and disappeared!"
When Zhou Yu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly applaud in his heart, dead, it's best to die, if these crazy and depraved earth gods really survive and return to the earth, I am afraid that in the end, they will harm the entire flood wilderness.
"Fellow Daoist!" Hou Tu looked at Zhou Yu and suddenly opened his mouth and called.
Zhou Yu's heart froze, he didn't have to think about it, he knew what to say under the back soil.
"It's not a pity that my earth gods die, but the consequences caused by those gods in the netherworld have to be made up for by no one, I originally planned to entrust this matter to this poster, but now it seems that I don't have much time!"
As he spoke, Houtu walked up to Zhou Yu, took out a quaint book-like spiritual treasure, and handed it to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu subconsciously looked down, and saw three words written on the cover of the book in ancient divine script,
"Book of Life and Death!"
