Chapter 212: The Kingdom After Death
Ye Xingyuan, Zhu Ning'er and Mrs. Li cautiously walked into the mausoleum. As soon as I entered it, the crack naturally closed, but there was a world in the mausoleum, and there was a light source from nowhere, and the place in front of me was open, not as cramped as I imagined.
"The mausoleum of the sage is a world of its own and has a unique pattern. Gao Huajun is a disciple of a saint, and this mausoleum also has something special. Mrs. Li reminded and took off the longbow on her back.
Zhu Ning'er was not to be outdone, and out of nowhere, she found a crossbow, held it in her hand, and looked around vigilantly.
Ye Xingyuan suddenly found that the three of them were all long-range crossbowmen, Mrs. Li was good at "foot bows", Zhu Ning'er was not bad at killing people with crossbows, and he had just learned the magic power of Captain En's "Thunderbolt String Shock".
This kind of squad configuration to farm dungeons seems a bit unscientific. Such a scene in Gao Huajun's mausoleum has clearly evolved into a small world on its own, and I don't know what danger is hidden in it.
In order to obtain Gao Huajun's approval and get the token representing "filial piety", Ye Xingyuan expected that he would have to go through the test, but he didn't know the type of test in his heart, and he didn't know if he needed to go through a battle.
Whoosh! Just as Ye Xingyuan was thinking about it, Mrs. Li had already shot like a thunderbolt, and before she could see how she opened her bow and arrows, she heard the sound of the strings, and a muffled snort came from the white fog in front of her, and a black shadow fell to the ground.
"Why don't you make a move without asking?" Ye Xingyuan smiled bitterly, he originally thought that Mrs. Li was a person who planned and then acted, but now it seems that she is also a man of action, the situation in the ancient tomb is unknown, she is the first to strike when she sees the wind and grass, but do you know that this is not part of Gao Huajun's test?
Mrs. Li did not answer, but remained very vigilant, and walked slowly with a bow. Zhu Ning'er quietly reminded: "Lord, this ancient tomb has been sealed for more than 3,000 years. There is a miasma in the meantime, and even if it is the place where the bones of the sages are buried, it is inevitable that there will be evil spirits on the periphery. ”
Ye Xingyuan stepped forward and looked at the black shadow that was shot down by Mrs. Li, it was indeed a skeleton, and he shivered. He frowned and said: "What kind of thing is this? The evil spirit is dead but not stiff, and it is nourished by the aura of the sage, and it cannot be killed, but it is very troublesome." ”
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the skeleton to start moving again, and Zhu Ning'er fired a crossbow in his hand, nailing its skull to the ground, but its hands and feet were still shaking.
The skeleton looked hideous and terrifying, but every bone was white and crystalline, very different from the evil spirits that ordinary mass graves hunt for. It is because they are nourished by the sage's aura. Therefore, it has the ability to live endlessly. Ignorant and instinctive, they are far more powerful than the skeleton necromancers who can be broken up with a single stick by the bold.
Mrs. Li's face changed slightly, "My arrows have been added with super rune paper, and they have no effect on this evil spirit. Now the only way to get through this miasma-shrouded area is to reach the center of the mausoleum as quickly as possible. ”
Ye Xingyuan pointed to the skeleton struggling underground: "I don't know how to live, how can I know death? Dust to dust, dust to dust. When?"
The skeleton's body shook for a while, and gradually calmed down, Ye Xingyuan saw that the Pure Heart Holy Sound Divine Power was effective for this, relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "I can suppress it for a while, but the evil spirit is sexless." It will be restored later, and we will go quickly. ”
The Pure Heart Holy Sound Divine Power has the effect of removing anger and calming disputes, and although it is not symptomatic to appease evil spirits, it can barely be used. The talent in the middle of nowhere, sometimes he also makes a cameo appearance as a mage who overlives the soul.
Ye Xingyuan is full of spiritual power. Although the Pure Heart Sacred Voice Exit can't dispel these evil spirits, it can calm them down, at least they won't attack for no reason.
The transcendent rune paper prepared by Mrs. Li before was invalid, but Ye Xingyuan's supernatural power played a role, which made her quite surprised, and she looked at Ye Xingyuan even more differently, and sighed: "Gongzi is really not an idle person, this pure heart holy sound supernatural power is like a light weight, there is already a sage 'Lunyin Buddha language' or the royal 'Chrysostom jade words' posture, and if you cultivate spiritual power in the future, the future will definitely be limitless." ”
The Pure Heart Sacred Sound itself is insignificant and has a limited effect, but this is the beginning of the supernatural power of the Speech and Spirit. In the future, the deeper the spiritual power, the clearer the heavenly machine, and under the organic understanding, it may be possible to reach the realm of words and laws, and the changes of celestial phenomena.
Ye Xingyuan himself is not restrained, he uses the Pure Heart Sacred Sound in a wider range than ordinary Xiucai, and the possibility of obtaining supernatural power upgrades is higher. Originally, he also knew that the spirit of the words was supernatural, and even if the Confucian had no official position, he could also win the support of 10,000 people and change the world.
It's just that the method of cultivation is single-minded, and there is no text, and now listening to the meaning of Mrs. Li's words, it seems that I have an understanding of this magical self-study method, and it is inconvenient to ask in detail at this moment, and I can inquire in detail in the future.
With Ye Xingyuan's Pure Heart Sacred Sound Divine Power, the skeleton evil spirit, which was originally extremely difficult to deal with, finally had a way to deal with it. The three of them continued to move forward, and when they encountered a lone skeleton, Mrs. Li or Zhu Ning'er shot it down with an arrow. If there is a large number, Ye Xingyuan will open his mouth to restrain it and pass quickly.
Ye Xingyuan is now a lifter, and his spiritual power is even more abundant, although he feels tired from using the Pure Heart Holy Sound several times in a row, he can still support it. Before his spiritual power was exhausted, they finally passed through the miasma and came to a new and vast world.
Outside the mausoleum, there is a snowstorm, but the world in this mausoleum is like a late spring in March. The willows are still around, the stream is murmuring, and the greenery is full. In the distance is a lonely village, but when you see the smoke curling, it is calm and peaceful.
Ye Xingyuan had experienced the illusion of deduction for the strategy exam, but it was not real after all. This strange scene in Gao Huajun's mausoleum is real, it is an isolated paradise, and he can't help but be amazed by this miracle.
Mrs. Li's face was gloomy, and she looked around and said: "I have read in the book that people who understand the Great Dao are immortal by the reason of the sage, although they are still alive and dead, they enjoy their country alone, and they are honest. It's a pity that the bones of the ancestors are gone, and they can't even be at peace after death."
With Yao Deyu's practice, even if he can't ascend to Tianque as an immortal official, as long as he dies, he can't avoid grief after death. Although he is not a disciple of the saint, he may not be able to have a complete afterlife like Gao Huajun, but at least he can sleep in the ground and have his own pure land.
But he was punished by the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't even save his bones, and he had no place for future generations to sacrifice and mourn, so he was afraid that he had been involved in the underworld and became a ghost who died in vain. The memory before his death is muddy, even if he has no inspiration, he doesn't know when he will be reincarnated. Mrs. Li touched the scene, which inevitably aroused sorrow.
Ye Xingyuan was silent, there was a great terror between life and death, even the saint did not say anything after death. In the world's classics, there are very few records about the Netherworld Yellow Spring, only many absurd legends, and I don't know whether they are true or false.
I only know that the underworld is dark all day long, and there is no daylight, and when mortals enter the underworld after death, they must be guided by impermanence, and judge the good and evil. Depending on the merits and demerits of his life, he will be sentenced, or he will be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell to suffer, or he will be reincarnated, but more often he will stay in the underworld, slowly consumed by the aura of the netherworld, and leave no trace at all.
In addition to the merits of this life, most of the reason why people practice in the world is also to escape the horror of life and death. If the deeds in life are famous, and someone worships the faith, he can be named the Yin God and not fall into the Yin Division. And the scholar is upright, and the sage Yu Ze can also temporarily avoid the underworld after death and be safe for a long time.
Those who are not helped, wealthy families, and descendants who sacrifice and worship from time to time, even if they are in the underworld, they can also avoid the pain of torture and death.
It's a pity that Yao Deyu is such a great Confucian, and in the end he fell short, which makes people sad.
"If I obtain the spirit bone of the saint and achieve something in the future, I will try to overturn the case and sacrifice for Lord Yao, so that his soul can return. Ye Xingyuan thought about it, the source of this matter is still in Yao Deyu, if he really has the spirit bone and has the opportunity to ascend, then he really has to thank Yao Deyu. If you owe this cause and effect, you have to make up for it after all, so it is better to take the initiative to promise.
Mrs. Li's body was shocked, she bowed and saluted, and said gratefully: "If this is the case, the great grace of the son, our descendants of the Yao family will be rewarded with a grass title." ”
If there is a great Confucian like Yao Deyu to protect him, the Yao family will not be the person who is now sparse and will be cut off at any time. If Ye Xingyuan keeps his promise and really recovers Yao Deyu's soul for them, then the Yao family may have a day of revitalization.
Zhu Ning'er said impatiently: "There is no need to pretend to be loyal, Madame will first say how to act in the tomb of Gaohua Jun, how can we obtain the token here?"
She had long observed the nearby terrain, which was a small mountain village with nothing special. As a disciple of a saint, Gao Huajun has enjoyed thousands of years of merit and incense, and the land he has received after his death is so ordinary? How can they get started? Since the Yao family has studied for hundreds of years, they should always have some understanding.
Mrs. Li smiled bitterly and said: "Although I know that the tomb of the saint is opened with the treasure of the five virtues, but no one has ever entered the mausoleum of the four disciples. ”
It turned out that she didn't know what it was, but this was expected by Ye Xingyuan, and she wanted to know everything well, so it seemed strange. Then he said: "In this case, let's go to the village and inquire about the situation." ”
Gao Huajun had the filial piety of lying sick and seeking carp when he was young, and later his mother died early, his father continued to string, and his stepmother was mean to him, and often provoked their father-son relationship. His father was foolish and often beaten, and Gao Huajun has been silently enduring it.
Later, Gao Huajun worshiped under the saint's door, and the saint taught him that "the small staff will be accepted, and the big staff will be gone". He suddenly realized, and later wrote three articles of "The Book of Filial Piety", expounding the righteousness. In the end, his father and stepmother were influenced, and the ending was satisfying.
The words of filial piety are plain, and the truth is also smooth, as one of the Mongolian reading materials in later generations, Ye Xingyuan has also memorized it. As Mrs. Li said, Gao Huajun's topic should not be in the category of the word "filial piety", but I don't know what form it will be assessed.
With such questions, Ye Xingyuan and the three of them walked into the deserted village in the mountains. (To be continued......)
