"Tuk tuk tuk..."
There was a knock on the door. The knock came not from outside the study, but from the front door.
Chen Luo put down his pen, a little confused.
Someone actually came to find me at this point?
No, a ghost actually came to find me?
At present, Chen Luo is arranged in a luxurious mansion, but there is no ghost in the mansion at the moment, only Chen Luo himself. The person outside the door seemed to know this, so he used some magic to make himself hear the knocking on the door.
Chen Luo stood up, walked through the winding corridor, came to the main door, opened the door, and found that it was Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian.
"See King Fengdu."
Seeing Chen Luo, Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu both raised their hands and saluted. Chen Luo waved his hands and said with a smile, "Why are you here? Have you finished everything?"
These two people returned to Fengdu with him, but he didn't see them when he came out of the palace. Shangguan Zhaorong said that the two people returned to Xuanjing Division to revive their lives, so Chen Luo didn't take it to heart.
"Back to King Fengdu, the Mirror King heard about the coming of Junchen and was grateful to King Fengdu for his righteousness. Therefore, he specially prepared a small amount of wine and asked my brother to invite King Fengdu to the banquet to express his gratitude."
With that said, the two people moved away, revealing a luxurious sedan parked at the door.
"King of Mirror Masters?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then looked at the expressions of Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian, thinking that it was nothing, so he nodded.
When Chen Luo got on the sedan, the sedan floated on its own. Fan Wu Jiu led the way, while Xie Bian followed beside the sedan.
…
After walking for a while, Chen Luo suddenly heard the excitement outside. He opened the sedan curtain and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Good guy!
This Fengdu Avenue is full of ghosts and ghosts, with various vendors lining both sides and restaurants and bars brightly lit.
Looking to the left, at the stall with the banner of "Selling Fried Pork Ribs", I saw the skinny shop owner quickly breaking off a section of ribs from himself and throwing it into the frying pan in front of him, making a sizzling sound. The kid helping next to him was skillfully applying marinade to other bones on his body. The fried pork ribs were not yet cooked, and the place where the ribs had just been broken was surrounded by ghost energy, and new white bones were formed.
Well, self-produced and sold, what a craftsman!
Looking further to the right, a street performer is beating the gongs and drums in his hands, holding up his head with his feet like a butterfly piercing a flower. While his head is being kicked, he is shouting, "If you have money, give it to me, and if you don't have money, borrow some." You can make money with money." The amused ghosts onlookers let out a burst of creepy laughter.
To be honest, if all the lanterns were not green, from time to time you would see pedestrians suddenly falling apart halfway through. This would be a city that never sleeps.
"Why is it so lively?" Chen Luo asked Xie Bian.
Xie Bi'an smiled: "Near the Imperial City, we were worried about disturbing Emperor Xuan's rest, so we implemented a curfew. The place assigned to you is also within the curfew, so it is relatively quiet."
“This is the real night view of Fengdu.”
Chen Luo smiled and said casually: "Seeing how happy they are as ghosts, they must not want to return to the earth even if they can be reborn, right?"
Hearing this, Xie Bi'an wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just sighed: "Wang Jia, you are from the Yang world and don't understand the suffering of the underworld."
At this time, Fan Wujiu said calmly in front of him: "If you can return to the human world, let alone be a human or a demon, what does it matter even if you live and die for a day?"
Chen Luo saw that the mood of the two of them seemed to be suddenly depressed, so he didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions.
After walking for a while, the sedan finally stopped in front of a gorgeous pavilion. The pavilion was ten feet high, with carved railings and painted buildings. There were wind chimes dancing on it. The jingling of bells in the night market of this ghost city was really nice.
Chen Luo stepped out of the sedan chair and saw two big characters hanging on the pavilion: "山月".
At this time, a figure in Taoist robes was seen slowly walking out of the pavilion, holding a stick of floating dust in his hand. He looked like an immortal, and said with a smile: "Li Bi, the mirror director of the Xuanjing Division, has met King Fengdu."
When he opened his mouth, he only claimed his job, but did not claim to be the king.
Chen Luo was startled and quickly returned the greeting: "Wang Jia is so polite, Luo is flattered."
When Li Mi saw Chen Luo's appearance, Li Mi also laughed and said sideways: "Please."
Chen Luo still wanted to be humble, so Li Mi directly grabbed Chen Luo's wrist and said: "There are no big or small people here, and there is no identity. King Fengdu doesn't have to worry about etiquette."
With that said, Li Mi directly pulled Chen Luo in. Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian looked at each other and followed him with smiles.
…
Before Chen Luo could react, he had already entered the Shanyue Tower. He saw that the Shanyue Tower was full of people, the fragrance was fragrant, there was music and dancing on the platform, and the whole building was filled with red sleeves and tricks.
This scene looks familiar!
"I heard that I want to invite King Fengdu, and another king also wants to meet you." Li Bi said with a smile, "He is the owner of this mountain tower. Today I borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."
Chen Luo followed the Xuanjing Dynasty to the top of the building and said with a smile: "I wonder which king it is? I know it well, so I won't be rude later."
Li Mi laughed and said: "The singing and dancing in Liangyuan are full of romance, and the wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow. I recall how happy I was when I was young, and the beautifully lit building was lit up late at night!"
"I remember that in the Daxuan Capital City of the human world, there was a 'Linglong Tower', also called the 'Acacia Tower'. King Fengdu came from the human world. What do you think of this Shanyue Tower compared to that other tower?"
Chen Luo was slightly startled. He didn't know why the Xuanjing King suddenly changed the subject, but he still looked around the Shanyue Tower and said, "Each one has his own merits."
At this time, the two of them had reached the top floor. Li Mi led Chen Luo to the innermost elegant room and said, "Linglong Dice An Hongdou, I miss you so much. Is it the Wang Jia who gave it to Linglong Tower?" Inscribed!"
"When you look at Shanyue Tower again, what poems might come to mind?"
Chen Luo was stunned and blurted out:
"Shan Yue doesn't know what's going on in his heart!"
"Is it Wen Feiqing?"
Li Mi laughed: "Exactly, but in the Netherworld, he was named the King of Flowers!"
At this point, the two of them had already arrived in front of the elegant room. Li Mi stretched out his hand and pushed it, and Chen Luo saw a figure standing in front of the window, looking at the avenue outside the window. The ghostly wind blew through his long hair, and his body The posture is tall and straight, like a jade tree facing the wind.
"Fei Qing, King Fengdu has arrived."
Li Mi said something, and the figure slowly turned around, with a gentle tone: "Wen has met King Fengdu."
"Senior, you're welcome, Luo..." Chen Luo was about to return the favor when he saw Wen Feiqing turning around and was suddenly stunned.
The King of Flowers, Wen Feiqing, has many literary and artistic titles and names!
How could it be so ugly!
Is this Zhong Kui's lost cousin?
However, after all, Chen Luo is also a person with a cultivation level of seven thousand miles, so his reaction is naturally not slow. He quickly managed his expression and continued: "Luo entered the netherworld due to personal matters. He only had some human connection with Emperor Xuan, and he became the king because of his wrong love. "
"You two are both seniors who will live forever in the world. Please don't be polite to me!"
A smile appeared on Wen Feiqing's face that was completely in harmony with You Ming, and she waved her hand: "Come on, come on, there is no communication between You Ming and the human world, so I bothered you rashly because I really want to know some things about the human world."
Li Mi poured a glass of wine, nodded and said, "I have been in the Netherworld for a long time, and I am also very curious about things in the human world."
Chen Luo took his seat, picked up the wine, made a toast, and said, "You two want to listen, then I will tell you."
Wen Feiqing waved his hand: "Wait a moment."
With that said, Wen Feiqing used his skills and immediately took out a series of royal flags.
Even Li Mi of the Xuanjing Division was startled and looked at Wen Feiqing: "Feiqing, have you been crowned king again?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Wen Feiqing put away the king's order flags one by one and said, "Hearing that you and I want to meet with King Fengdu to talk about human affairs. The other kings have their own duties and cannot come, so I will put the king's order flag. Send the cards to me, the King."
"They have a trace of soul inside, and they can also hear the words of King Fengdu."
After saying that, he randomly ordered a few signs and introduced them to Chen Luo: "This is the King of Huiyan Li Yishan, this is the King of Book Burning Du Muzhi, this is the King of Fufeng Wei Yibo..."
"Wen Basha, don't talk too much nonsense." A voice came from a king's order flag, "King Fengdu, are there any important events in the world in the future? Come and tell us."
Chen Luo smiled when he heard this and started talking...
This was said in the middle of the night, and Chen Luo's mouth was dry. I don't know how many times I yelled the phrase "It's so clear", and Chen Luo was a little drunk.
"By the way, there's something I don't understand, junior." After roughly talking about the major events in the world that he could remember, Chen Luo suddenly said.
Wen Feiqing drank the wine in the glass and said with a smile: "King Fengdu, it's okay to ask."
Chen Luo glanced at Li Mi and Wen Feiqing, and then said: "As far as I know, once a human or demon dies, the aura of the living being enters the river of life, and will be washed by the river and merge with other auras."
"If you are thrown into the netherworld, your soul will no longer be the same person or monster as it once was."
"But when I look at the kings, it seems that they are not within this rule, as if their complete souls have entered the netherworld. I wonder if the two kings can teach me?"
This is an issue that Chen Luo was very concerned about just now. For example, if you ask Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian what their identities were in the human world before entering the Netherworld, they will definitely not remember it. Because they are now living beings that have been re-condensed by the spiritual light that has been refined and fused by the long river of living beings.
But whether it was Lai Junchen, these kings, or even Emperor Lin that he saw before, they seemed to be entering the netherworld with memories of the human world!
You must know that Chen Xuan entered the Netherworld by stepping on the Bodhisattva of the Five Decline Stages; he was able to enter the Netherworld only because the Qinglong Emperor personally took action and used twenty-seven Bodhisattva relics to clear the way.
What about these Wang Jia and Linhuang?
Hearing Chen Luo's question, Wen Feiqing and Li Mi looked at each other and fell into silence. The royal flags on the table slowly flew up one by one and disappeared.
"This question..." Xuanjing King Li Bi finally broke the silence and said with a smile, "It would be better for King Fengdu to ask Emperor Xuan."
"There is something mysterious about this matter. We benefit from it, but at the same time we are restrained from telling it."
Chen Luo was stunned when he heard this, couldn't he say it?
However, Chen Luo has experienced a lot of unspeakable things along the way. He no longer struggled and asked another question that interested him: "I see that the people in Fengdu are happy, and it seems that being a ghost is not a bad thing. ah?"
Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian's previous attitudes made him a little concerned. Since there is a king in front of me, it is natural to ask.
Hearing Chen Luo's words, Li Mi smiled bitterly and shook his head, and Wen Feiqing also sighed.
"Ah? Can't we say this?" Chen Luo was confused, and Li Mi waved his hand: "No. This is actually not a secret at all."
"It's just that, King Fengdu, you have a Yang body, so you can't feel it!"
Wen Feiqing also nodded, looked at the lively street scene outside the window, and said: "The Netherworld is a place of death and silence. If a living being dies, the aura of the living being enters the long river of living beings, and regardless of whether it tries its best to wash away and merge, there will always be more. next life."
"But Netherworld is different. Although the principle is the same, there is aura after death, but Netherworld has no way of heaven, so the river of living beings will not actively summon the aura of Netherworld creatures."
"The auras of many creatures will dissipate on their own before they go very far."
"More than that." Li Mi added, "As a ghost, entangled with the death energy of the Netherworld day and night, sooner or later it will be assimilated by this Netherland and become a part of the Netherworld."
"The so-called merits can help with cultivation, but more importantly, they can slow down the speed of assimilation."
"But the outcome has already been determined."
"There is a saying in the Central Pure Land that makes sense. They say that this underworld is a boundless hell. In one word: suffering!"
"We have transformed our awe-inspiring righteousness into the dead energy of the underworld, and there is no hope for the Holy Path. If... we will not be able to escape the fate of assimilation in the future."
Hearing Li Mi's words, Chen Luo felt that the atmosphere suddenly became heavier.
But as a Yang body, he didn't know how to comfort her.
"No need to comfort me. This matter is my own choice." Li Mi seemed to see through Chen Luo's thoughts and smiled, "It doesn't matter."
"Exactly, don't mention these." Wen Feiqing smiled and said, "King Fengdu, I learned from Shangguan Zhaorong that you are also the leader of the world. Why didn't you mention it when you just talked to us about human affairs? "
Chen Luo waved his hand quickly: "How dare you boast in front of your seniors over such a trivial matter? It's inappropriate, inappropriate."
Just when Chen Luo waved his hand, there seemed to be something wrong with the storage order. A "Red Dust Record" recording Chen Luo's life and deeds actually "fell" out and fell on the table.
"Huh?" Wen Feiqing had quick eyes and quick hands and took the book directly in his hand, but Chen Luo was "slow" after all.
"Good guy, it turns out it's all written down." Wen Feiqing flipped through a few pages and threw it to Li Mi with a smile.
Chen Luo looked helpless: "It's exaggerated, it's exaggerated..."
"What a once-in-a-thousand-year-old genius is only praised by the person who wrote the book. It's an exaggeration."
"I am just an ordinary martial arts master!"
Wen Feiqing and Li Mi looked up at Chen Luo at the same time, their eyes met, and after a moment, a burst of laughter broke out.
The atmosphere became lively again.
…
But a few hours later, the atmosphere in the imperial garden in the imperial city was not so lively.
Not long ago, Shangguan Zhaorong and his men rushed into Shanyue Tower and brought Chen Luo, who was drunk, back to the palace. Then, there was this scene in front of me——
In the small pavilion, Linhuang was smoking a cigarette while reading the "Red Dust Record" collected by Shangguan Zhaorong, while Chen Luo stood honestly outside the pavilion with his head lowered.
how to say?
It was like going to a bathing center and being caught by my mother.
"When I was young, I drank wine with those old ghosts..." Linhuang exhaled a puff of smoke, "No wonder Yuanyang was lost..."
Chen Luo said helplessly: "Uncle, that was an accident..."
"We didn't drink flower wine."
"You think I don't know who Wen Bacha is?" Emperor Lin glanced sideways at Chen Luo, then looked at Shangguan Zhaorong, and said, "The King of Huajian will fine him a year's salary! Tell him to bring Chen Luo with him next time Go to Shanyue Tower, and I will seal Shanyue Tower."
"Yes." Shangguan Zhaorong nodded.
"That, and King Xuanjing..." Chen Luo said softly.
You have to punish them all. You can't just punish Wen Fei and Qing Qing because he is ugly. The right way is not to worry about the shortage but the inequality.
"If King Xuanjing hadn't been with us, do you think my punishment would have been so light?" Emperor Lin said lightly.
Ah...this...
This Li Mi is a favorite!
Chen Luo sighed in his heart: Lao Wen, I'm sorry, I tried my best.
After a while, Emperor Lin looked at Chen Luo again and said, "Come in and sit down."
Chen Luo then moved into the flower pavilion. As soon as he sat down, Emperor Lin pushed the cup in front of him and said: "This wine from the underworld smells delicious, but if it is placed in the human world, it is just mud and grass ash." Please drink less water from now on."
"Disciple won't dare to do it next time..." Chen Luo is cute.jpg.
"Don't you dare?" Linhuang closed the "Red Dust Record" in his hand and said, "You dare to blow up the Tianmen, what else do you dare not!"
Chen Luo: (￣ェ￣;)
This joke is impossible to get past!
"The disciple laments the hardships faced by the warriors in the world and cannot bear to see them wandering outside the Tianmen. Even if the explosion of the Tianmen suffers the backlash, the disciple is happy with it! There is a way to cultivate one's mind at nine thousand miles."
"Huh, Wuji's teachings are pretty good." Emperor Lin commented lightly, then changed his tone and said, "I was going to build a Fengdu Palace for you."
"But I changed my mind."
"This Xuanhuang Imperial City was built in accordance with the regulations of the Daxuan Palace. The East Palace is still empty. You can live in the East Palace in the future!"
Chen Luo was startled and was about to refuse when he heard Linhuang say: "That's it."
"Let's talk about business!"
As he spoke, Linhuang flipped his wrist, and the manuscript he gave to Linhuang yesterday reappeared in Linhuang's hands.
"If I want to return to the earth, you have to help me!"
…
At this time, Chen Luo had put aside the matters in the East Palace for the time being, but looked puzzled: "Uncle, what do you need me to do?"
My sister will be found sooner or later, and we must plan her way back to the earth in advance.
Linhuang exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly: "Don't worry, I want to explain this to you clearly, and you will naturally know what to do."
After saying that, Emperor Lin opened a page of "The Record of the Red Dust" at random and said, "It says here that Ancestor Liu once came and gave you a Seal of Ancestor Liu."
Chen Luo was stunned, then nodded and stretched out his hand. Suddenly, a willow leaf mark appeared on the back of his left hand.
Speaking of which, it was this willow leaf mark that allowed him to find the Ancient Cang Yun Tree and Wang Bo in the secret realm, and also gained the favor of the Ancient Tree of Time in the future sea.
Linhuang glanced at him lightly and said, "It's nothing unusual here. Don't show off."
"Wen Feiqing and the others all have it!"
Chen Luo blinked: "All of them?"
Emperor Lin nodded: "Why do you think they can enter the Netherworld with their soul memories intact?"
Chen Luo shook his head.
I asked this question yesterday and they couldn't answer it.
Emperor Lin continued: "There are many famous figures in the world of Dafeng in the Dafeng Dynasty. Most of them have this willow leaf mark."
"The spiritual light that protects them safely crosses the river of life, accepts Liu Ancestor's call, and falls into the netherworld."
Chen Luo blinked and remembered that his teacher had written back to him, saying that he also had the Liu Zu Seal.
Then he said that the usefulness cannot be said.
It turns out it involves the underworld...
Wait, there is so much information in Linhuang's words.
Liu Zu is in the Netherworld?
Can this willow leaf mark maintain the complete spiritual light of living beings?
And, most of it?
In other words, are there exceptions?
Chen Luo looked at Linhuang, but Linhuang just took another puff of cigarette and said in a slow tone: "Liuzu is one of the seven ancient trees that Jianmu turned into, and Liuzu is the root. When Jianmu took root in the netherworld, Liuzu The ancestor's body is naturally also in the Netherworld."
"As for the person who can still maintain the memory of the human soul in addition to receiving the mark from Liu Zu, it has something to do with another force."
"The Central Whirlpool Pure Land, or in other words, ancient Buddhism!"
Linhuang reached out and handed over the cigarette rod, and Shangguan Zhaorong immediately stepped forward to take it, skillfully cleaned the pot, and then refilled it with tobacco. Linhuang continued: "How much do you know about Jianmu?"
Chen Luo thought for a while: "It is said to be the innate spiritual root that existed when this world was first opened, and penetrates the two realms of Yin and Yang."
Emperor Lin reached out and took the cigarette rod handed back by Shangguan Zhaorong, and said: "Jianmu is the earliest order in this world, representing the cycle of life and death."
"The birth of living beings in heaven and earth does not begin from the human world, but from the underworld."
"The way of heaven gives nutrients to the building trees, and the building trees bear fruits. The fruits fall from the sky to the earth, and they become living beings."
"After the death of a living being, it is buried in the earth. The origin of life re-enters the netherworld and turns into nutrients again."
"In this way, when the living beings die, they turn into nutrients to nourish the building trees, and the building trees bear fruit due to these nourishments, fall into the human world, and form living beings, and the cycle continues."
"This is the earliest cycle of life and death!"
"Every living creature has a place to come and a place to go!"
Chen Luo opened his mouth wide. This was really the first time he heard this statement.
"But now, Jianmu has already collapsed." Linhuang took a puff of cigarette and exhaled another puff of smoke. "The River of Life is just a substitute for Jianmu. Compared with the original Jianmu, it is much worse."
Chen Luo nodded, but looked confused: "Uncle, what does this have to do with us?"
"Is it to help Liu Zu grow back into Jianmu?"
Linhuang raised his hand and hit Chen Luo on the head with his cigarette pole: "Liu Zu, you dare to make up whatever you want!"
After finishing speaking, Linhuang looked serious and said: "The river of life is just a manifestation of Jianmu's rules, running outside the human world and the netherworld."
"A tree without roots, water without a source."
"Maybe in another thousand years, or thousands of years, the flow will stop."
"At that time, the cycle of life and death will be interrupted. At that time, the human world will be in turmoil and the rules of heaven will disappear. The most important thing is that the number of living creatures will no longer increase, and this world will also begin to die."
Speaking of this, Linhuang paused: "Tell you the truth."
"In the last years of the previous dynasty, why were the barbarians able to invade the hinterland of China and occupy it for hundreds of years?"
"The theory in the world is that the collapse of the world appeared, and the half-sage and the Taoist sealed the collapse of the world. Based on your current knowledge, is it possible?"
Chen Luo shook his head, joking, it was just a few world collapses, how could he mobilize so much power.
Linhuang said: "The truth is that the demon took action against the river of life, and the saints and Taoists fought hard against the demon for hundreds of years around the river of life."
"However, it also relied on that war to rejuvenate the river of life, so it has continued for thousands of years."
"It was also from that battle that the Holy Church and the Dao Palace discovered the hidden dangers of the River of Life."
"And I am the one who solves the problem!"
Chen Luo was even more puzzled when he heard this. In his impression, Emperor Lin didn't seem to have the strength of a semi-saint.
Linhuang saw Chen Luo's thoughts at a glance and shook his head: "It has nothing to do with strength."
"Have you forgotten that my bloodline is that of a phoenix, and my innate magical power is rebirth from the ashes!"
"I am the last phoenix in the Phoenix World. The death of the world and my life have resulted in a rule that comes with my bloodline."
"The rules of life and death!"
"This is the purpose of my subordinate Netherworld."
"Using the rules of life and death as the way of heaven and earth, connecting the two worlds, replacing the long river of life, and redoing the cycle of life and death."
Chen Luo was suddenly startled when he heard this, stood up suddenly, and looked at Emperor Lin in disbelief.
At this moment, all questions were temporarily suppressed by Chen Luo. There were only eight words in his mind -
The empress earth of the great virtue is reincarnated into reincarnation!
…
"You...want to transform into the Netherworld and Heaven?" Chen Luo asked cautiously and with concern.
Seeing Chen Luo's reaction, Emperor Lin raised his eyebrows. He naturally knew the meaning of Chen Luo's words, and his heart, which had been silent for hundreds of years, suddenly felt warm. If other people heard about her plan, most of them would admire and respect her; only her juniors would be nervous and worried.
Emperor Lin nodded slightly and said in a rare soft tone: "Don't worry, I'm not going to die."
"The rules of the bloodline turn into the Netherworld and Heaven, and I will just live in another form. The Netherworld is immortal, and I will exist forever."
"My soul is still there. If you want to see me, I can just turn into a human again."
"Although I am not a creature of this world, I grew up in this world and have been the king of the human race for decades."
"I really can't bear to see such a beautiful world, like my hometown, going to perish."
Having said this, Emperor Lin looked up at Chen Luo who was standing, put down the cigarette rod in his hand, and said, "Now, I have encountered some problems."
"I need your help!"
