Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 576: Taiyi to the Netherworld
The wilderness, the underworld .
The sun and the moon shine together in the vast sky, but the sun is as black as ink and the moon is as red as blood. It is dark and weird, and a sinister atmosphere permeates the sky and the earth.
The waters of the Yellow Springs surged forth in a vast and mighty tide, the terrifying will of death condensing into countless waves, lapping against the banks.
The bright and juicy red spider lilies gather into a boundless sea of flowers, and the bursts of strange fragrance make thousands of ghosts dazed.
A figure suddenly set foot on this road to the underworld.
His posture was as straight as a pine tree, his steps were like a dragon and a tiger, and he exuded an imposing aura of towering mountains and deep depths.
He was also born with a beautiful face, his eyebrows were like ink painting, his temples were like knife-cut, and his eyes were like the bright sun, shining extremely and handsomely.
He actually bypassed the gate to the underworld and came here quietly without disturbing the two ghost gods Shentu and Yulei.
The thousands of ghosts and souls wandering in the underworld are even more ignorant and unaware.
Even if his body possesses the most positive and yang energy in the world.
"Slow down, what are you squeezing for?"
"You bunch of dead ghosts, are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?!"
"If you keep pushing, I'll throw you into the pot and make soup!"
At the Naihe Bridge, Youmeng, who was making soup, became angry again.
Her delicate face was distorted by the anger in her heart.
Her hair was standing on end with anger, her eyes were wide open, her facial features were squeezed together in a ferocious manner, and her face looked very scary.
His entire face turned purple-red, almost as if it was about to explode.
This roar almost scared thousands of ghosts to death!
Even the endlessly surging water of the Yellow Spring trembled in fear.
It quickly rolled over the last wave and then stopped moving .
The entire Yellow Springs River suddenly became calm and unusually peaceful.
You Meng's rage also frightened the visitor.
He paused.
He looked at the figure at the Naihe Bridge in astonishment.
Obviously, he did not expect this Yin God to be so powerful.
He lowered his head slightly.
Hesitate for a moment.
Finally, I chose to turn around and walk back.
Using the divine power of shrinking the distance into an inch, he passed through thousands of dead souls and found the end of the queue in a moment.
This eternally powerful man actually went to queue up obediently!
"Young man, I see that you have an extraordinary temperament!"
Standing in front of Taiyi was an old man with white hair and beard. He had a simple face and looked a bit like an immortal or a sage.
The old man seemed to feel a golden light flash before his eyes. He looked around and saw Taiyi coming behind him.
At this moment, he looked Taiyi up and down, and said in amazement: "Young man, I believe you must have been extremely valuable in your lifetime!"
The old man obviously thought he was a fellow queuing up for soup.
This is the last stop in this life, so I speak casually.
He said to Taiyi, "In my opinion, if you didn't commit any serious sins in your life, when you go to the reincarnation stage later, at worst you will be reborn as an Asura!"
Taiyi couldn't help but smile as he looked at the old man who was chattering in front of him.
He said calmly, "My father-in-law seems to know something about reincarnation?"
The souls that can reach the Naihe Bridge are not in a dazed state.
On the contrary, they all retain the spiritual intelligence they had in their lifetime.
Only after drinking a bowl of Meng Po soup and letting go of their past will their memories be erased.
When one reaches the realm of Taiyi, one can tell the old man’s past life at a glance.
He looked like an immortal, but he was not actually an immortal during his lifetime.
I just happened to get a book on qigong.
The old man received Taiyi's response and a smile appeared on his face.
He looked around mysteriously, then said, "These six realms of reincarnation are also divided into good and evil."
The old man told Taiyi that there are three good paths in reincarnation, namely: the path of gods, the path of humans, and the path of Shuras;
There are also three evil paths, namely: the hungry ghost path, the animal path, and the hell path.
The living beings who devote themselves to the way of the gods will be free from disasters and will not experience any hardship.
The living beings who enter the human world experience a mixture of joy and sorrow, which makes it easy for them to become enlightened and practice Taoism.
"This Shura Road, don't be intimidated by the name, it's actually a great place!"
As they lined up, the old man said, "Those who join the Shura realm also possess natural blessings, but unfortunately, their virtues are insufficient, so they enter this realm."
"Even so, it is still much better than the three realms of hungry ghosts, animals, and hell."
The old man had a faint smile on his face, as if the underworld had made a good judgment on his life, at least not sending him to the three evil paths.
"My father-in-law is also very lucky!"
Maybe she felt that the old man was attractive to her, or maybe he was just too talkative.
While waiting, Taiyi also wanted to chat with him.
"I have always cultivated myself and not committed sins, so this blessing will naturally come to me."
The old man laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Accumulate good deeds to become virtuous, and the gods will be pleased, and the holy heart will be ready! Isn't this the truth?"
Taiyi smiled and said, "Old man, do you also understand the way of sainthood?"
"I understand, I understand!"
"Why don't you understand?"
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, then slowly said, "A sage is what people accumulate!"
"Saints and sages are of the same nature as ordinary people! Although they have the name of saints, they also follow human nature and human emotions."
"The pursuit of profit and the struggle for power violate the principles of chaos and disorder, and ultimately lead to violence."
"Of all things in the world, nothing can be surpassed by this, let alone saints."
When Taiyi first heard this, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and laughed, "Old Master, this is a brilliant idea!"
In the ancient world, the great way is to fight for it.
Even a saint cannot escape the worldly customs.
Didn't he, Hunyuan who embarked on the path of Wuji, come to this underworld according to human nature and human emotions, wanting to fight for his place?
In fact, true practitioners not only eliminate emotions and desires, but most of them are full of humanity.
Otherwise, where did so many fun gods come from in the ancient times?
"Old Master, you have realized the truth, so why don't you stay in this world for a while?"
Taiyi looked at the old man curiously. He didn't expect that his trip to the underworld would bring him such an unexpected gain.
The old man looked at Taiyi in surprise and said puzzledly: "My life span has come to an end. I have completed my journey. Why do I have to stay in this world for a long time?"
"Wouldn't it be better to throw yourself into the cycle of reincarnation, start a new life, and then reshape destiny and use it?"
"Rewrite Destiny?"
The smile on Taiyi's face grew brighter, and he nodded slightly, as if he agreed with it deeply.
I originally wanted to protect the other person, but now it seems that I don’t have to worry about it.
The two of them got along very well and chatted away for a long time, talking about everything from the principles of nature to the great principles of the world. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Naihe Bridge.
"Next!"
"Next!"
You Meng waited for a long time without any response, and her voice rose octaves, like a lion's roar.
"Are you going to reincarnate or not?"
The old man and Taiyi both shrank their heads subconsciously.
"Scary!" the old man exclaimed.
"It's a scary ghost!"
Taichi corrected.
The two of them acted as if no one was around, which made Youmeng furious.
She raised her head and was about to yell angrily when she suddenly saw Taiyi standing tall and deep.
Youmeng was silenced instantly.
With a sullen face, she handed over a bowl of soup, muttering, "How dare you, the dignified Emperor of the East, come to the underworld to tease a Yin God like me?"
Taiyi smiled faintly and said nothing.
He pushed the Meng Po soup in front of the old man and said, "Old man, you and I are destined to meet. Perhaps we can meet again in the next life!"
"I think so too!"
The old man smiled kindly, and he took it and drank it without hesitation.
After drinking a bowl of Meng Po soup, the old man's smile froze instantly.
Taiyi could sense what the other person wanted to say to him.
Unfortunately, before he could speak, the old man's face became confused, obviously he had forgotten.
Then he turned into light and entered the cycle of reincarnation.
[He just wanted to say it tasted bad, right?]
Taiyi took the bowl handed to him by Youmeng again, and saw that the bowl was pitch black, and he was silent for a moment.
Under Youmeng's expectant gaze, Taiyi put the bowl into his sleeve without any expression, then strode away.
"Don't you want to drink?"
Youmeng's eyes froze, and she felt a little disappointed.
Then, she looked down at her empty hands...
"Hey! My bowl!!"
Suddenly there was a shout that shook the earth.
At this time, Taiyi had disappeared.
…
"Donghuang, what a coincidence?"
In the underworld, Fengdu Mountain, Mingyu looked awkwardly at Taiyi who came to block the door.
After suppressing all the gods in the Immortal and Demon Universe, Mingyu ran out to slack off.
As a result, just as he had exchanged forms with the King of Fengdu, Taiyi arrived.
It's hard not to suspect that the other party didn't do it on purpose.
“Do me a favor!”
Taiyi didn't beat around the bush and made his request directly.
And handed over two things.
One sword, one round.
The sword is the Sword of the Emperor of Heaven, or the sword of the previous Emperor of Heaven.
The wheel is the Sun Essence Wheel, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure bred by the Sun Star, and belongs to the Queen of Heaven.
Mingyu immediately became excited when she saw the two things.
"You found it already?"
Taiyi traveled through time and space looking for Di Jun and the two queens, so of course he knew.
I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
However, there was not much joy on Taiyi's face.
He nodded, then shook his head.
Taiyi made a hand seal, and a golden flame floated out from his sleeve.
The flame was so weak that it seemed like it would go out at any moment.
If Taiyi had not protected it with the power of Hunyuan, this golden flame would have dissipated long ago.
"Queen of Heaven?"
Mingyu's expression straightened.
He sensed a bit of true spirit in the flame, it was the Queen of Heaven!
"good!"
Taiyi nodded, a smile appearing on his face, but it faded immediately.
"I still haven't found my brother and the others!"
There was a rare hint of sadness in his expression.
Even if you transcend the other shore and achieve infinity, what good will it do?
Is it true that you can’t get back the person you miss?
He searched everywhere from ancient times to the present.
Still no trace of Di Jun and Chang Xi has been found.
It’s as if their true spirits were lost in ancient history.
Looking at Taiyi who was in a sad mood.
Mingyu was deeply moved.
He waved his hand silently, and the avenue trembled.
The light of merit is as brilliant as the sea, gathered like a canopy, with garlands and precious pearls hanging down. The golden glow covers the universe, and an unfading and undefeated life force blesses the golden flame.
"Thank you!"
Taiyi woke up from silence and spoke solemnly.
Looking at him, Mingyu said sincerely, "Send the Queen of Heaven to reincarnation as soon as possible. I will use the Three Lives Stone to protect her."
Taiyi looked at the golden flames that were getting brighter, and a smile reappeared on his face.
"That's why I came here."
Reincarnation is not his field, and he would not feel at ease unless he came in person.
"Also, can you lend me the Three Lives Stone?"
Taiyi looked at Mingyu with expectation in his eyes.
He placed his hopes on this precious treasure from the underworld.
The Three Lives Stone can help you see your past life, illuminate your present life, and see your future life.
With its help, hope will be greater.
“You can borrow it!”
Mingyu did not hesitate and quickly gave a positive answer.
This made Taiyi feel relieved.
But Mingyu's next words made his heart sink to the bottom.
"It's not that I sincerely want to attack Donghuang."
Mingyu sighed softly and said, " Although the Three Lives Stone has infinite uses, it may not be of great use."
Taiyi is Di Jun’s closest relative, but he can’t find him. Even if he has the Three Lives Stone, there is probably little hope.
Taichi was silent.
After a long while, he said, "We have to give it a try!"
Mingyu nodded.
He stretched out his hand, took the Three Lives Stone and handed it to Taiyi.
Taiyi thanked him and said, "Thirty thousand years!"
"Thirty thousand years from now, whether it succeeds or not, I will come."
He waved his hand and merged the Emperor Sword and the Sun Essence Wheel into the gradually blazing golden flames, and handed them to Mingyu for safekeeping.
Mingyu suddenly said, "There's no way out underground, but maybe we can rely on human help!"
Taiyi paused, he thought of the old man on the Naihe Bridge.
"good!"
…
Not long after Taiyi left, a peerless beauty dressed in crimson palace clothing appeared in the Fengdu Hall.
Her skin was as smooth as ice and snow, her figure graceful, her legs long and beautiful. A cascade of beautiful black hair cascaded down her face, her eyebrows curved like willows, her eyes captivating and captivating, her nose straight and straight, her cheeks slightly flushed, her lips like watery cherry blossoms. Her beauty was truly as stunning as jade, peerless and alluring.
"Why don't you just tell him?"
Hou Tu walked lightly with lotus steps and came to Mingyu's side, smiling slightly, with a radiant look in her eyes.
"The past is dust, and you know I don't mind."
Mingyu shook her head slightly and said, "We have to let Donghuang give it a try."
No matter how much he says, it is better to let reality give the answer.
"What's more, humanity is an option, but it's not the best option."
Mingyu looked at Hou Tu and said, "The Emperor and Empress survived the war, so I'm not surprised they've returned."
"Chang Xi can be found, but what about Di Jun?"
When Hou Tu saw Mingyu didn't say anything, she rolled her beautiful eyes.
Before Mingyu could even think of her words, she leaned in close, her breath soft, "Are you going to say, 'Di Jun has his own opportunities, but if fate has come to this, there's nothing we can do about it '?"
"The Emperor of Heaven's life depends on the choice of the Eastern Emperor. What does it have to do with me?"
Mingyu held Houtu's hand and changed the subject without changing her expression.
Anyway, she would never admit that she still had some feelings for Di Jun.
Hou Tu naturally didn't believe his nonsense. "After the reincarnation of the heavens began, even I couldn't find any trace of Di Jun. How did you conclude that he would eventually devote himself to the human world?"
This is also what Hou Tu is curious about.
There was suspicion in her eyes, "Could it be that Nuwa took the lead again?"
"Ahem~~, she is my queen after all, you should show her some respect."
Mingyu coughed twice to remind him.
Hou Tu frowned slightly, staring at Ming Yu's face, and said dissatisfiedly, "She is the Empress, but I am not?"
"I can't make the decision in Fengqi Mountain, and you want to control me in the Netherworld?"
Hou Tu's gaze was so melancholy that it made Mingyu's scalp tingle.
He discovered that Hou Tu had been eyeing the position of the head of Fengqi Mountain for a long time.
This is terrible!
But fortunately, these are all small scenes.
Mingyu's expression remained unchanged as she calmly said, "You are the Lord of the Underworld, and I am the Emperor of the Underworld. We are one family, so why should we talk about different things?"
"That's more like it."
Hou Tu covered her mouth and laughed, very satisfied with the last sentence.
"Then please ask the Great Emperor of the Underworld to issue an order and tell us the details!" She didn't insist on it and gave Mingyu face.
Mingyu smiled.
He said: "The details are very simple..."
Hou Tu blinked and waited for what was to come.
Mingyu came closer and whispered six words.
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed!"
? ? !
Hou Tu suddenly widened her eyes.
