The underworld. Hades.

The two old men were sitting facing each other. An old man on the left, his face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes are full of vicissitudes, as if thousands of years have passed. Next to the black-faced old man, a middle-aged man dressed in a red judge's robe stood respectfully. The old man is none other than the Lord of the Underworld, the Lord of the Underworld. The red-robed man beside the old man was the first judge under the throne of the Hades, the red-clothed divine judge.

An old man on the right, with a long eyebrows and a kind face, has a white dog with a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, and a lion's tail lying at his feet. The white puppy has its eyes closed, makes a slight snoring sound, and is snoring. This old man is the Jizo Bodhisattva who once made the grand wish that "hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha". The little white dog at the feet of Jizo Bodhisattva is a rui beast that carries the nine qi of spirit, god, blessing, wealth, sharpness, luck, court, strength and bone.

The Immortal Monarch said to Jizo: "Bodhisattva, the power of the five elements has appeared, how should I deal with it in the underworld?"

Jizo smiled slightly and said, "The Immortal Monarch has already planned, why should he consult Jizo?" The Bodhisattva smiled, and all the lonely souls and wild ghosts in the underworld felt much more relaxed physically and mentally.

The Immortal Monarch laughed and said: "People say that the Bodhisattva cherishes words like gold, and he is really honest and does not deceive me." ”

Jizo smiled slightly again and said, "If the Immortal Monarch is sent, Jizo should obey it. With this second laugh, all the evil spirits in the eighteen layers of hell who were being tortured felt a sense of relief.

The Immortal Monarch laughed again and said, "In front of the Bodhisattva, how dare this monarch say the word send?" After laughing, the Immortal Monarch looked straight and said: "However, this monarch does have something to ask for, please ask the Bodhisattva to agree." ”

Jizo smiled slightly again and said, "Hades, please speak." The Bodhisattva's third smile suddenly relieved the entire underworld.

The Immortal Monarch said, "Bodhisattva, this monarch wants to use the truth to hear. ”

The white dog, who was sleeping soundly, heard Hades mention him, opened one eye, glanced at Hades, then closed this eye again, turned over, yawned, stretched, and continued to sleep.

When Jizo heard this, he smiled for the fourth time, but he didn't say anything. The fourth smile of the Bodhisattva, in the entire underworld, suddenly floated through bursts of vitality.

Hades smiled: "Bodhisattva doesn't have to laugh anymore. If the Bodhisattva laughs again, my underworld will become the human world. After that, the Immortal Monarch said to the red-clothed divine judge beside him: "Judge Zhong, check it, how many people in my underworld have experienced the eighth reincarnation?"

The red-clothed god said without thinking: "Returning to the Underworld, among the people who have gone through the eight reincarnations in my underworld, there are a total of 1,877,650,000 and 4,329 people. ”

The Immortal Monarch sighed: "These people have gone through eight lifetimes of reincarnation, whether it is human, animal, demon, or ghostly and godly, they have already experienced what they should experience. Let them all go to the human world to be reincarnated. ”

After the red-clothed god bowed down and said "yes", Jizo Bodhisattva stood up, titheed to the Immortal Monarch, and said, "The Immortal Monarch is merciful and compassionate, and Jizo is grateful!"

After laughing again, Zhengse said: "Bodhisattva, after the reincarnation of the ninth world, although there is no need for reincarnation and suffering from that reincarnation, if these people go to the human world and still have evil thoughts and act as traitors, the bull head and horse face of my underworld will still detain their souls." Once a person in the ninth reincarnation is detained, he can no longer be reincarnated, and can only fall into the eighteen layers of hell forever. I hope the Bodhisattva understands. ”

Jizo tithes again, and Masase said, "That's nature. With that, Jizo sat back and said to the little white dog at his feet, "Listen, don't you get up yet, and obey the dispatch of the Immortal King?"

The white dog turned over, stood up from the ground, and turned into a young man in white, who didn't even bother to arch his hands, and said to the Lord of the Underworld: "The Lord of the Underworld has something to say." In the middle of the words, the tone was extremely stiff and devoid of respect.

Jizo shouted softly, "Listen, Hugh has to be rude to the Immortal King!"

The Immortal Monarch was not at all disgusted by the attitude of the white-clothed young man, and said with a smile: "It's okay! Listen to the loyal protector of the Lord, blame me for the fact that hell is never empty, so that the Bodhisattva cannot become a Buddha." It is normal to have some opinions about this gentleman. ”

The young man in white snorted softly when he heard the words of the Immortal Monarch, arched his hand to the Immortal Monarch, and said, "What is the Immortal Monarch's send, but please command." His tone was much softer than before.

Hades said: "Listen, you are the first beast in the heavens and all worlds, you can know people's hearts, and distinguish loyalty and treachery. I would like to invite you to go to the human realm, find the person who has the power of the five elements, and distinguish the loyalty and treachery of this person. ”

The young man in white asked, "What if this person is loyal, and what if he is a traitor?" The tone of this question was a little softer than the previous one.

The Immortal said, "You only need to identify this person's loyalty. The rest is for the rest of my own people in the underworld. ”

The white-clothed young man glared at him and said, "No! If the Immortal Monarch doesn't explain what his plans are, Di Ting will definitely not go this way!"

The Immortal Monarch smiled bitterly and said to Jizo: "Bodhisattva, after millions of years, I still haven't changed my temperament!"

Jizo said, "Please forgive me. Di listened to the mistakes of people in the past, so he did not want to easily distinguish between loyalty and treachery. ”

The Immortal Monarch nodded and said to the white-clothed young man: "Listen, if this person is loyal, this monarch wants to ask you to come with this person." You carry the nine qi of spirit, spirit, blessing, wealth, sharpness, luck, dynasty, strength and bones, which can help this person grow and bring great fortune to heaven and earth. If this person is loyal, I will detain this person in the Underworld, scatter the power of the five elements in his body, and then suppress him in the nineteenth layer of hell, so that he cannot be reborn for eternity. ”

When the young man in white heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What the Immortal Lord said, is it true?"

The Immortal Monarch said: "This gentleman is true of his words. ”

The white-clothed young man thought for a moment and said, "No! The Immortal Monarch should also make an oath before he can go." ”

The red-clothed divine judge behind the Immortal Monarch shouted in a low voice: "Listen, don't go too far!"

The young man in white stalked his neck and was about to sneer at him, but the Immortal Monarch said: "It's okay! Di Ting is loyal to heaven and earth, and this monarch admires it very much." ”

After that, the Immortal Monarch said: "If this monarch violates what he said before, I will let the underworld collapse from now on, and I will never be able to stand between heaven and earth!"

As soon as the words of the Immortal Lord were spoken, there seemed to be a strange force descending on the underworld between heaven and earth. In the underworld, trillions of ghosts are trembling.

When the young man in white heard this, he bowed to the Immortal Monarch and said, "Thank you Immortal Monarch!

Hades laughed and said, "Listen, you are sincere, and you can show the world." How can this gentleman not know?

After the white-clothed young man saluted the Immortal Monarch again, he bowed his hand to the red-clothed Divine Judge and said, "Divine Judgment, please forgive the sin of disrespect!"

The red-clothed god snorted lightly and said, "Since the Immortal Monarch has said that you are innocent, you are innocent. ”

The white-clothed young man turned to the Immortal Monarch and said, "Immortal Monarch, the ability to distinguish between people has been closed for millions of years, and I am afraid that I am a little rusty when I go to the human world, and I may not be able to immediately identify this person's loyalty and traitor." If it takes some time, please be patient. ”

Hades smiled, "It's okay. The power of the five elements is still very weak, and this person must have not been on the immortal path for the first time. You discern slowly. This person's body has changed greatly in the world, and what this gentleman wants is accurate, not fast. ”

When the young man in white heard this, he didn't say anything more, he bowed to the Immortal King, and then turned around to give a deep salute to Jizo, and his figure gradually faded.

After the white-clothed boy left, Jizo also stood up and said to the Immortal Monarch, "If the Immortal Monarch is not sent again, Jizo will also retire." ”

The Immortal Monarch stood up and bowed to Jizo, "Thank you Bodhisattva for your help!

After Jizo left, the red-clothed god said to the Immortal Monarch: "Enlighten the Immortal Monarch, and my subordinates are willing to go to the human realm to assist Di Ting." ”

The Immortal Monarch shook his head and said, "When the power of the five elements appears, the heavens and all the races will definitely enter the human realm and set off a monstrous slaughter. I don't know how many more lonely ghosts will be in my underworld. At this time, you need your earth-shattering ability to manage the underworld for you. You can't go. ”

The red-clothed god bowed and asked, "Is there a candidate in the heart of the Immortal Monarch?"

The Immortal Monarch said, "This monarch intends to let the soul detain go. ”

After the red-clothed divine judge looked slightly startled, he thought for a moment and said, "......What does the Immortal Monarch mean?"

The Immortal nodded and said, "Not bad." Soul detention can not only detain people's souls, but also strengthen people's souls. ”

The red-clothed god sentence once again gave a deep salute and praised: "The Immortal Monarch is far-sighted, and his subordinates admire it!"

Hades smiled slightly, and was about to speak to the red-clothed god judge again, when he suddenly smiled: "It's here." ”

As soon as the Immortal Monarch's words fell, a young man wearing a Tsing Yi judge's uniform walked into the palace, and after giving a salute to the Immortal Monarch and the red-clothed Divine Judge, he said: "Enlighten the Immortal Monarch, someone from the Dongsheng Divine Palace is here, and I ask to see the Immortal Monarch." ”

Hades nodded and said, "Please let him in." The young man bowed and turned to leave the palace.

After a while, the young man returned to the underworld with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man saluted the Immortal Monarch and said, "Dongsheng Divine Palace Que Junyan, I have seen the Immortal Monarch!" After saying that, the middle-aged man arched his hand to the red-clothed judge and said, "Brother Divine Judge, long time no see!"

The Immortal Monarch smiled: "Que Zhenren doesn't need to be polite!" The red-clothed divine judge also bowed back and said: "Brother Que, I haven't seen you for a long time! Brother Que came in person, but what's the matter?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Why do you knowingly ask Brother Divine Judgment?"

After that, the middle-aged man arched his hand to the Immortal Monarch again, and said, "Immortal Monarch, Que Mou came here today for the three reincarnation places of my Dongsheng Divine Palace. I wonder if the Immortal Monarch can allow me to use those three places in the Dongsheng Divine Palace?"

The Immortal Monarch nodded and said, "Dongsheng Divine Palace has meritorious service in guarding heaven and earth. Since I have an appointment with your Dongsheng Divine Palace in the underworld, there is no reason for this monarch to refrain from it. ”

After that, the Immortal Monarch asked, "Has the Su Palm Sect decided on a candidate?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Senior Brother has chosen someone who will relive and recultivate. ”

After glancing at the middle-aged man, the Immortal Monarch asked, "Where is the person?"

The middle-aged man arched his hand and said, "Que is the first person." The other two are in charge of the elder brother's own arrangements. ”

The Immortal Monarch's expression was slightly solemn, and he said, "Que Zhenren, are you sure that you want to go to reincarnate and rebuild in person?"

As soon as the Immortal Monarch's words fell, the red-clothed divine judge continued: "Brother Que, you have to think about it. Reincarnation and recultivation, although accompanied by the memories of previous lives, cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort, but the memories of my underworld seals can only be opened layer by layer. If you don't enter the next realm, you can't open the memories of the corresponding realm in your previous life. In the past, there was no shortage of people who were reincarnated and re-cultivated, but before they could cultivate to the point of stepping into the void, they died halfway. Moreover, if a person who is reincarnated and recultivated, once he dies halfway, if he wants to renew his immortal relationship, he must go through the eighteen layers of hell in my underworld. Brother Que, be careful!"

The middle-aged man said solemnly: "Thank you for the reminder of the Immortal Monarch and the Divine Judgment Brother." When the power of the five elements appears, there will be great changes in heaven and earth. My Dongsheng Divine Palace has the responsibility of protecting heaven and earth, how dare Que be self-conscious?"

The Immortal Monarch pondered for a moment and said, "Que Zhenren, with Su Zhangjiao and your cultivation, even if there is really a catastrophe of heaven and earth, your senior brothers may not be able to avoid it. As long as you are here and you, there is still hope for the human world and your Dongsheng Divine Palace. Are you really sure you want to take this risk? I don't want to see any slip-up on the part of either of your brothers. If Que Zhenren feels that it is not good to explain to Su Zhangjiao, this gentleman is willing to do a thing or two for Que Zhenren. ”

The middle-aged man bowed deeply to the Immortal Monarch and said, "Thank you for the Immortal Monarch's loving intentions!

Hearing this, after staring at the middle-aged man for a few breaths, the Immortal Monarch sighed and said, "Since both your senior brothers have this intention, this monarch will not say much. Please come closer. ”

When the middle-aged man walked in front of the Immortal Monarch, the Immortal Monarch stretched out a finger and pointed at the middle-aged man and shouted: "Life and death, death and death." After drinking, the Immortal Monarch gently sent his finger forward, and put a little on the middle-aged man's forehead, and the middle-aged man immediately disappeared.

After the middle-aged man disappeared, the red-clothed god judge looked slightly shocked and said to the Immortal Monarch, "Immortal Monarch, ...... you?"

The Immortal Monarch sighed: "Su Zhangjiao and Que Zhenren are both loyal and righteous people. There is only so much that Benjun can help them. ”
