The west.
Mount Sumeru.
Jie Yin Zhunti looked at each other, as if they had not expected such a big ambition. They just raised Ksitigarbha's cultivation to the quasi-sage stage, which was far from what they expected.
At this moment, Hou Tu's voice spread throughout the world.
"The Western teaching Ksitigarbha has great perseverance. In order to realize his great ambition, today I have issued an edict from an authentic saint to command him to forever control the underworld and save all ghosts. Today, I will give him a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Moon Pearl, as a reward."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ksitigarbha felt that he was directly bound to the underworld. As long as there was a hungry ghost in hell, he would never be able to leave the underworld.
Jie Yin Zhunti's expression also changed drastically, and he appeared in front of Hou Tu in an instant.
Zhunti immediately asked: "What does Taoist fellow Houtu mean by this? Why restrict Ksitigarbha's freedom?"
Hou Tu immediately laughed and said: "Isn't Taoist friend Zhunti joking with me? Ksitigarbha has made his own ambition that hell will not be empty and he will never become a Buddha. When have I restricted his freedom? Isn't this all of his own free will? ?”
"It's just that this Nether World is under the jurisdiction of the Earthly Realm after all, and Heavenly Dao has recognized it. Don't I also recognize it on behalf of Earthly Dao?"
"I also gave him a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!"
"As long as Ksitigarbha fulfills his vow, can't he leave the Netherworld at any time? I didn't force him to make such a grand vow. What does this have to do with me?"
Seeing the smile on Hou Tu's face, Zhunti felt that he had suffered a big loss.
It's true that Ksitigarbha has been promoted to the quasi-holy stage. The Western Sect has also added some luck, but he is restricted in the netherworld and cannot contribute to the Western Sect. Instead, it has provided talents for the back soil.
Instead of gaining the position of an authentic saint, he lost an elite disciple.
As for Ksitigarbha's original position as the Ghost Emperor of the West, although he could enjoy some luck, it was not worth it compared to Yongzhen Underworld.
After all, that little bit of luck is a bit useless for Ksitigarbha, who is already in the mid-stage Saint stage.
He originally thought that after Ksitigarbha was promoted to the quasi-sage realm, he would change a Western disciple from the Daluo Jinxian realm to take up the post of Western Ghost Emperor. That would be the most rational use of resources.
But now, Ksitigarbha can only sit in the position of the Western Ghost Emperor until he dies.
This makes Zhunti not heartbroken.
But the vow was made by Ksitigarbha himself. Although he knew that Houtu had bad intentions, he could only bite up the bitter fruit he had sown and swallow it in his stomach. There was nothing they could do.
Did you have a fight with Hou Tu about this?
He and his senior brother are two people, but Hou Tu also has Ju Mang's help, and the Netherworld is still the opponent's home court, so there is no guarantee that they can beat each other.
Moreover, the Nether World is about reincarnation. If there is any damage, even a saint will be unable to bear the overwhelming karma.
Zhunti wanted to say something more, but was stopped directly by Jieyin, who said: "In that case, Ksitigarbha will ask fellow Taoist Houtu to take care of it!"
Hou Tu replied with a smile on his face: "That's natural. Ksitigarbha is my ghost emperor of the underworld, so I will naturally take good care of him."
In particular, the word "Ghost Emperor" was specially emphasized, emphasizing that Ksitigarbha is now a native of the underworld.
Jie Yin knew that there was no point in arguing any longer, so he immediately pulled Zhunti away from the Netherworld.
"Senior brother, are we going to give up on Ksitigarbha just like this?"
When they appeared again, the two of them had returned to Mount Sumeru, and Zhunti couldn't wait to ask.
Jie Yin let out a long sigh and said: "We all underestimated the earthly saints. It is impossible to achieve the status of earthly saints by using the sanctification methods of heavenly saints."
"Fortunately, Ksitigarbha is a disciple of my Western religion after all. Even if he cannot leave the underworld, he has added a lot of luck to my Western religion."
"That's it. Let's find another way to deal with the power of reincarnation."
——
Jiangshui tribe.
With the various changes made by the Lieshan clan, the destiny of the human race has become more and more prosperous, and its reputation has even surpassed that of Emperor Fuxi, but the Lieshan clan is not satisfied with his ambitions.
On the contrary, they are still thinking about how to make human beings live better.
One day, Lieshan saw that someone in the tribe was about to lose his life because of being bitten by a poisonous snake, and he remembered the scene he had seen when he was looking for grain.
A gray rabbit was bitten by a poisonous snake and was about to die. However, it miraculously recovered after eating a grass called Chonglou.
So he went to find this kind of Chongloucao and saved the life of the person who was bitten by the poisonous snake.
"Chongloucao can cure bites from poisonous snakes, but what about other diseases?"
"Is it possible to use medicinal herbs for treatment? If so, how can we prescribe the right medicine?"
Lieshan had an idea in his mind, which was to understand the medicinal properties of all plants so that mortals could cure their own diseases. In this way, human casualties could be reduced and the human race would be more prosperous.
Although the human race has the method of drawing Qi into the body passed down by Yunxiao, about 90% of the human race are still mortals.
Because the prerequisite for introducing qi into the body is to refine the qi, and in order to refine the qi, you must eat enough meat.
Although grains can fill the stomach, they cannot provide the energy to refine and transform qi.
Even with breeding and hunting, the meat obtained is far from enough to enable everyone to enter the immortal path.
10% can enter the immortal path is already a very high proportion, and the entire proportion may continue to decrease in the future.
However, although Lieshan did not improve his cultivation with merit, he was now in the realm of Xuanxian. Ordinary herbs or poisons had no effect on him at all, and he could not distinguish the efficacy of the medicine, so he found Duobao.
"What? You want me to abolish your immortal realm, why?"
Duobao was shocked and wondered whether Lieshan was possessed.
But Lieshan said calmly: "I want to test the medicinal properties of many medicinal herbs for the human race. I have a cultivation level. Some medicines or poisons have no effect on me at all. This cultivation level is a burden."
"Teacher please help me."
After speaking, Lieshan clan bowed respectfully to Duobao.
Xuanchen smiled and said to Duobao: "This is Lieshan's own choice, and it is also his path to enlightenment. Senior brother, there is no need to be nervous. As the Earth Emperor's teacher, you only need to point out the direction for him at critical moments."
Duobao also saw that Lieshan clan had made up his mind, so he directly abolished his cultivation.
After falling from a mysterious immortal to the realm of mortals, Lieshan clan not only did not feel confused and lost, but found the direction of his own struggle, so he was very excited.
However, the two did not let him try the medicine on his own, but made sufficient preparations for him.
Duobao refined a whip that can distinguish whether herbs are poisonous and a cauldron for refining medicine. The grade is not high, but even mortals can use it. It is very suitable for Lieshan clan's current situation.
Xuanchen went to heaven to ask Lu Yue for jade slips on the research on many plagues, which would save him from making many detours.
Later, he went to Taiqing Laozi to ask for a gourd of detoxifying pills, which could be used by Lieshan to save his life.
Then he asked for a life fruit from Zhen Yuanzi to extend Lieshan's life span. After all, now that Lieshan's cultivation was gone, his lifespan became the same as that of a mortal.
What Lieshanshi wants to do requires a long period of experimentation.
Xuan Chen couldn't help much in this matter. He only remembered the functions of a few common medicinal herbs and had no knowledge of most medicinal herbs. After all, he was not a Chinese medicine doctor in his previous life.
Therefore, it is up to Lieshanshi to try it himself.
All he and Duobao could do was save his life at the critical moment.
As for the affairs of the human race, fortunately, there are some officials established before, and Lieshan clan's wife Ting Qi is so virtuous. Even if Lieshan clan disappears for a period of time, nothing will go wrong.
In order to make it easier for Mr. Lieshan to record the medicinal properties, functions, and diseases that can be treated by medicinal herbs, Xuanchen also specially brought out paper and pens. Although the merit was not much, it was still a big gain.
In this way, Lieshanshi trekked among thousands of mountains and rivers every day, trying out the medicinal properties of various herbs.
As for why people are not allowed to collect it, it is because the properties of herbs that have just been picked are different from those that have been stored for a long time.
Different growing environments and the year of the herbs will also affect the medicinal properties.
Day after day, year after year, Xuanchen and Duobao followed Lieshan clan as bodyguards.
As Lieshan tried more and more medicinal properties, he had more and more paper in his hands, so he bound it into a book and wrote "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" in five large characters.
Lieshan was perfecting the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" while spreading the word about which herbs could cure which diseases.
With the publication of this divine book, the human race's luck has once again greatly increased.
Xuanchen estimated that Lieshan clan was not far away from enlightenment, so he handed over the matter of protecting Lieshan clan's safety to Duobao, and he was going to add fire to it.
First, we went to see Emperor Fuxi, and then we went back to Jin'ao Island.
"Senior Fuxi, I would like to borrow Hetu Luoshu for use. Is it possible to borrow it temporarily?"
Then he went to the Netherworld and found Hou Tu, Geng Chen, and Jin Feng. Finally, he went to Kunlun Mountain to find Si unlike.
"They are not like brothers. I see that the dragon and phoenix clan have washed away a lot of karma by becoming human totems. I wonder if the Qilin clan is interested in becoming an auspicious beast!"
At this moment, as the fortunes of the human race are rising, nearly 90% of the karma of the dragon and phoenix tribes has been washed away, and it is impossible for them to say that they are not envious.
So I agreed without hesitation.
On this day, Lieshan finally completed the compilation of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica".
Heaven immediately sent down countless merits, and the power of humanity also emerged from the dark. At this moment, the fate of the human race has accounted for nearly 50% of the fate of the ancient world, even if part of it is shared with the dragon clan, phoenix clan and all saints. Pretty scary too.
Even the Demon Court in its heyday was nothing more than this.
Although the human race is far less powerful than the Demon Court, with the recognition of the saints and the blessing of the protagonists of heaven and earth, luck has manifested into a million-mile-long golden dragon of luck.
The way of humanity is the way of luck and the way of gathering people.
Kunlun Mountains.
Yuanshi Tianzun naturally felt the changes in human destiny.
He immediately called Guangchengzi and explained: "The fate of the human race has changed. The return of the Earth Emperor is imminent. It is also time for the Human Emperor to be born. I have calculated that the Human Emperor will have his own bear tribe born. You can go and recruit disciples." ”
Guangchengzi immediately accepted the order: "I will obey the master's decree."
Then he rode the auspicious clouds down to Kunlun Mountain.
at the same time.
In Tianmen Mountain.
Lu Ya naturally felt this strong change in destiny. The demon clan's destiny spontaneously gathered into the shape of a golden crow, provoking the human clan's golden dragon of destiny.
It is still unclear whether the golden crow swallowed the dragon and the demon race reappeared, or whether the golden dragon rose up in the sky and the human race prospered?
But as the Emperor of Earth is about to return to his throne, the impending birth of the Emperor of Humanity becomes even more bizarre.
