After all, Chen Luo finally made it clear to Linhuang that he was fighting with his left and right hands in the human world, and that he and Ma Jia had written two things in one letter.
In short, the current situation is that if I continue writing, I will no longer be able to keep my vest.
So, be patient.
Wait for him to plan and squeeze out the maximum value of this vest identity, and then start writing further.
Linhuang sucked on the cigarette holder several times, and then nodded, indicating that he recognized Chen Luo's statement.
But before Chen Luo could relax, Emperor Lin said again: "I understand the truth."
"But don't you just write it down first and don't send it out?"
"If you don't post it, others won't be able to see it. Then you can write it to me again just like you come to Netherworld!"
Chen Luo: (°?°)?
What the uncle said makes sense, and it’s impossible to refute it!
It feels like you have told your boss about the problems of many projects, saying that this project is difficult to carry out. The boss took a puff of his cigar, approved your judgment, and then said lightly: "Then let's do it first..."
The operating rules of this world are like this: no matter how awesome people are, they are actually working for a higher-up.
Thinking of this, what is there to be anxious about?
However, maybe Emperor Lin also realized that frequent travel between the two worlds was not good for the soul, so he finally relaxed his requirements.
"Then... take a day off!"
…
After respectfully seeing Lin Huang off, Shangguan Wan'er put away the soup cup left by Chen Luo while smiling at Chen Luo: "Wang Jia, don't mind. Your Majesty is just upset, just teasing you."
"It's better to rest for a few more days."
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "What can make my uncle upset?"
Is it to destroy the Sea of Blood or the White Lotus Pure Land?
This kind of thing is no longer something to worry about!
Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then thought about the relationship between Chen Luo and Linhuang, and stopped hiding it, explaining: "It's a matter of Netherworld Avenue."
"Although His Majesty's cultivation progress is covered by top powers, the avenue of life and death has been extended, and it is impossible for the White Lotus Pure Land to not notice it at all."
"But that's where the weirdness comes in."
"The battlefields in Dafeng and White Lotus Pure Land are still tense, but that's all."
"We have not noticed any further movements from White Lotus Pure Land."
"This is so unreasonable."
Shangguan Wan'er sighed: "It's a pity that the White Lotus Pure Land is related to Buddhism and the way of heaven, so we can't make detailed arrangements. Master Yixiu has just returned to the White Lotus Pure Land, and it will be difficult to gain anything in a short period of time."
"I wonder what those false Buddhas are planning. This is why Your Majesty is upset."
After listening to Shangguan Wan'er's story, Chen Luo's face became serious. The struggle for the Netherworld Avenue is the core of the Netherworld world. Linhuang's Avenue of Life and Death has made a breakthrough, and it is indeed impossible to ignore the White Lotus Pure Land.
It's a pity that the biggest help he can give in this matter is to write a good poem for Master Yixiu so that he can successfully gain the favor of Bodhisattva Dilitha. It is difficult to interfere with other things.
Seeing Chen Luo's frown, Shangguan Wan'er reached out and patted Chen Luo's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for this world that Wang Jia can come to Netherworld."
"As long as Wang Jia writes more and longer articles as soon as possible, that is the best way to help His Majesty..."
Chen Luo: ^(#｀?′)
You are connoting me, right?
It must be!
…
Yin Rhythm Division.
At this moment, the air of death is lingering. In the court, a large group of ghost agents are doing their jobs. Some ghosts are holding knives and some are carrying sickles. Two teams of ghost agents are arranged on both sides, each holding a mace. Cui Shanque, the first-grade judge who took office.
This was also the division of labor that Cui Shanque and Zhong Kui had discussed. According to Chen Luo's wishes, the two made civil and military judgments. So Zhong Kui took Black and White Wuchang to control the prison and arrest the fugitives; while Cui Shanque sat in the court and sentenced the guilty!
As a new yamen, the layout of the courtroom is naturally different. In addition to the large plaque of "Life and Death" approved by Emperor Lin himself, behind the yamen, there are also one set of torture instruments from the eighteenth level of hell.
The flaming oil pot, the mountain of cold knives, the peeling wooden frame... Just looking at it makes you feel frightened.
At this time, Cui Shanque was sitting high on the throne. He slapped the gavel tree heavily in his hand and shouted "open the hall"!
The ghost officers on both sides immediately stepped forward, and without any explanation, they first pushed the soul to the ground, whizzed down with the mace in their hands, and gave it a full ninety-nine and eighty-one blows before giving up.
This is the rule: any guilty soul in the eighteenth level of hell who wants to be sent to court to have his sentence changed must first go through this heavy questioning rod. However, this mace is also a torture tool of the Eighteenth Level of Hell. Although it is painful, it will not damage the aura of the guilty soul.
"Who is in the hall, and what is the reason for being promoted to the hall!" Cui Shanque said solemnly.
During this period of time, under Chen Luo's instructions, the sinful souls in the Abyss were transferred to the eighteenth level of hell, and everything exploded.
In the past, in the Abyss, those guilty souls were simply locked up and occasionally taken out and beaten when they were in a bad mood.
Not to mention that due to limited resources, organizations of different sizes have been formed. The leaders of those organizations have good relations with the prison guards, but they actually do well in the bottomless prison.
But suddenly Lai Junchen fell and King Fengdu came to power, and everything changed.
This damned Eighteenth Level of Hell is really "to save all sentient beings". Everyone must go to those Eighteenth Level of Hell to suffer torture and suffering according to their sins and responsibilities...
It happens to be the Buddhist law, you can’t even faint!
Are you just saying it scares ghosts?
Those bald Buddhists, listen to me and say thank you because you built hell.
At this time, the only way is to bite hard, make meritorious deeds and atone for one's sins, and reduce one's suffering in the eighteenth level of hell.
So when Zhong Kui was transferring the guilty souls, Cui Shanque was also very busy, dealing with all the guilty souls who wanted to commute their sentences for meritorious service.
"Prisoner Ma Qing, please bow to your lord." The guilty soul kowtowed and said, "I was originally the personal servant of the guilty king Lai Ni, and because of the crime of Lai Ni, I was imprisoned."
Cui Shanque flipped through the book in his hand, nodded and said: "Yes, I will sentence you to the sixteenth level of hell and suffer three hundred years of torture. Do you have any objections?"
Ma Qing sighed inwardly. The sixteenth level, called the volcanic hell, was designed to deal with crimes such as harming the public and enriching private interests, offering and accepting bribes, stealing, and robbing money.
Three hundred years, this means he will be tortured until the end of his spiritual life.
If you don't fight now, you won't have another chance.
"The villain wants to make meritorious deeds, and the villain has secrets to tell me!" Ma Qing shouted loudly.
Cui Shanque frowned slightly: "Tell me and listen."
Ma Qing hesitated for a moment and said: "This matter is confidential, I want to report it directly to the King of Fengdu!"
Cui Shanque snorted coldly, patted the gavel and said, "You are the ninety-seventh prisoner today who claims to have secrets that he wants to report to Wang Jia!"
"Drag me down!"
In an instant, the two government officials took the order. The hooks in their hands directly hooked Ma Qing's soul and dragged him back to the eighteenth level of hell. Seeing this, Ma Qing became anxious and shouted quickly: "My secret is indeed true! It's a conspiracy related to the White Lotus Pure Land!"
Cui Shanque frowned when he heard this. He naturally knew about Lai Junchen. Ma Qing was Lai Junchen's personal attendant. He might actually know some Bailian secrets.
"Stop!" Cui Shanque shouted, and the ghost immediately stopped.
"It is absolutely impossible for you to see Wang Jia. Just tell me. If it is really valuable, I will naturally reduce your sentence."
Hearing this, Ma Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke again: "My lord, please step aside..."
…
Fengdu Palace.
Chen Luo looked at Cui Shanque with a solemn expression: "Did you really say that?"
Cui Shanque also nodded solemnly: "According to Ma Qing's explanation, the souls sold to the White Lotus Pure Land by Lai Junchen in the past ten years have not been dispersed into the reincarnation Buddha kingdoms of many White Lotus pseudo-Buddhas, but have been used for more mysterious purposes. superior!"
"As for the purpose, Ma Qing would rather die than reveal it. He said that he would not speak until he saw you, Wang Jia."
"How credible?" Chen Luo asked.
Cui Shanque hesitated for a moment and said, "The official called up all the records of Ma Qing."
"He was originally a wandering soul in the Netherworld. For some reason, he was spotted by Lai Junchen, who had just entered the Netherworld. He took him with him and supported his cultivation all the way to the third level. He should be regarded as Lai Junchen's confidant."
"The transaction of souls was also handled by Ma Qing. As a rule, he should be questioned and killed together with Lai Junchen. It was just that he needed to investigate the loss of souls in the bottomless hell, so he was spared his life."
"I think his words are 70% or 80% credible."
Chen Luo nodded. He had heard Shangguan Wan'er talk about Emperor Lin's troubles before, so this information came just in time. If it can disgust you or even attack the White Lotus Pure Land, it will be considered as venting your anger.
"Okay, bring it to me to see you."
"I want to see what secrets he can reveal."
Cui Shanque quickly handed over his hand: "Yes!"
…
Ma Qing was walking in the back garden of Fengdu Palace, feeling nervous.
After the incident involving Lai Junchen, he was imprisoned as soon as possible, so he didn't know much about the situation.
This... is Fengdu Palace?
What nonsense!
This is the Prince’s East Palace!
Oh my god, Iron Prison King, why did you offend such a number one person?
People are like an egg hitting a rock, but you are like an egg hitting a mountain!
It’s not a bad loss!
Under the supervision of the ghosts, Ma Qing walked around a corridor and saw the figure drinking tea in the flower pavilion. Not daring to look at his face, but seeing the royal robe in royal purple, Ma Qing immediately knelt down and walked all the way to the outside of the flower pavilion. He kowtowed heavily and said, "Prisoner Ma Qing has seen the King of Fengdu."
Chen Luo glanced at Ma Qing, who buried his head heavily on the ground, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said calmly: "Cui Daban said you want to see me?"
"Say it."
"If it is valuable, I will make the decision and spare you the punishment!"
Ma Qing lowered his head, suppressed the tension in his heart, and said: "Back to Wang Jia, regarding the smuggling of souls from here and there, I am indeed the one who will handle the specific matters."
"After going back and forth, I became acquainted with the Bodhisattva in charge of this matter in the White Lotus Pure Land, and we talked about it privately."
"Five years ago, there was a batch of millions of living souls that needed to be traded. Because the quantity was too large, I personally escorted them. After completing the transaction, they stayed in the White Lotus Pure Land for three days."
"During the three days, I played songs with that Bodhisattva every night. When the Bodhisattva was in high spirits, I told these souls to have a good life and not to be captured on the battlefield. Otherwise, the blame will not be easy to bear."
"But the Bodhisattva reassured me, saying that the souls we have traded with over the years will not enter the Buddha's kingdom of reincarnation, but have other uses."
"I was also drunk and forgot some taboos, so I asked again and again; the Bodhisattva spilled the beans and said that he wanted to use these living souls to create a passage!"
Chen Luo's face became serious: "Passage? What passage?"
"A path of reincarnation with no return!" Ma Qing lowered his head and said, "Introducing the energy of the world into the netherworld."
Chen Luo's expression changed and he stood up suddenly.
…
"Introducing human energy into the underworld?" Linhuang listened to Chen Luo's words, took a sip from the cigarette holder, and slowly spit it out.
After a moment, Linhuang sat up from his soft position and said solemnly: "In the Netherworld, only the White Lotus Pure Land has the ability to connect the two worlds because of the relationship between the ten thousand miles of heaven."
"It is indeed possible to achieve reincarnation with a living soul."
"Luck is actually the recognition of Heaven. If Heaven recognizes you, your luck will be high. If Heaven does not recognize you, your luck will be low."
"If human luck is introduced into the Netherworld, it will inevitably be absorbed by the Netherworld, and then the Netherworld will have a hint of heaven's will. By then..."
"The only way to reach heaven that has the power of heaven in the Netherworld, it will naturally be recognized!"
"The Great Way of Reincarnation in the White Lotus Pure Land will directly become the Netherworld Way of Heaven."
When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her expression tightened: "Your Majesty, then we have to think of a way. We can't let those fake Buddhas in the White Lotus Pure Land do this!"
"No, it's not that simple!" Linhuang stood up and said, "If you want the entire Netherworld to have the luck of heaven, the demand for this luck is unimaginable!"
"Even if we search desperately for the human race, I'm afraid we won't be able to get even a tenth of it!"
Chen Luo thought for a moment and asked: "What if it only covers one place, such as the Buddhist Kingdom of Samsara, and only needs to ensure that their Samsara Avenue firmly suppresses your uncle's Life and Death Avenue, and finally seizes control of the Netherworld Heavenly Dao?"
"This is the second question." Linhuang continued to take a puff of cigarette, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and said softly, "Covering the Buddha Kingdom of Samsara and suppressing my avenue of life and death. This amount of luck is not a small amount."
"Where did the White Lotus Pure Land come from?"
"If he wants to seize Daxuan, a fateful battle is inevitable. Buddhism in the Western Regions must win a complete victory, and annex at least five of the thirteen states of Daxuan and turn them into Buddhist lands. Only then can this happen luck."
"If you want to take it from Southern Wilderness, you must at least kill the five powerful clans!"
"I won't say whether the Western Region Buddhism has the strength to kill the five powerful clans, but once they take action, it will probably cause a chain reaction of the Southern Wilderness Monster Clan. When the situation becomes chaotic, it is unknown whether they can escape intact. .”
"All in all, luck under the law of heaven is determined. A certain scale of luck can give birth to a certain scale of creatures. Taking it away for nothing is no less than the hatred of genocide and eradication."
"They can't afford the price!"
Emperor Lin's words made Chen Luo and Shangguan Wan'er fall into deep thought. In this way, White Lotus Pure Land's move was just to prepare for a rainy day. First, build the passage, and then accumulate strength, and wait until the strength is sufficient to complete one of the two conditions mentioned by Emperor Lin. One, and then take advantage of the situation to win the underworld?
"It's very possible!" Emperor Lin nodded, "Ever since the Demon of Freedom set up the Netherworld, the battle for the Netherworld has been going on for tens of thousands of years. The fight for the White Lotus Pure Land did not happen overnight. Maybe they have also been waiting, waiting for our human race to be weak or the war in the Southern Wilderness. timing."
"Even inciting the human race and the demon race to go to war!"
Linhuang's words made Chen Luo and Shangguan Wan'er nod. It seemed that this was most likely the case.
"Okay, I will pay attention to this matter. But next, the Xuanjing Division and the Yinlu Division will strictly investigate the smuggling of souls!" Emperor Lin ordered, and Chen Luo nodded and accepted the mission.
…
On the way back to Fengdu Palace, Chen Luo felt a little uneasy and felt that he had forgotten something.
The soul traveling back and forth between the two realms does have some influence.
When he arrived at the gate of Fengdu Palace and saw the two Great Saints of the Dark Elephant guarding outside, Chen Luo suddenly caught the racing thought in his mind.
"Fuck!"
During this period, every time I returned to the human world, I would write a book in the small study. I would only listen to Mastiff Lingling say a few words about external matters related to Fangcun Mountain, but she actually ignored this important matter.
Chen Luo quickly turned around and ran towards Emperor Lin's palace again!
…
"Why are you back?" Emperor Lin saw Chen Luo returning and asked calmly, "Do you want me to issue a decree to ask King Xuanjing to cooperate with you?"
"Uncle!" Chen Luo rushed directly to Emperor Lin, "I know what White Lotus Pure Land is waiting for!"
"They are waiting for the bloodline tide!"
"That is the extra luck of the demon clan, and it is a category that can be fought for!"
Emperor Lin looked at Chen Luo who was a little excited and frowned: "If I remember correctly, there was a bloodline tide in the Southern Wasteland when I was in power. It was only a hundred years ago. How could it be so fast?"
"No, it's out!" Chen Luo quickly told the story about this bloodline tide from beginning to end. Hearing this, Emperor Lin frowned, seeming to be aware of the seriousness of the problem.
"Wen Yunsun has determined that it is enough for him to be canonized?" Emperor Lin tapped his fingers on the table, "This does not comply with the laws of bloodline tides!"
"But this is confirmed!" Chen Luo said, "Will the tide of luck that is enough to be canonized affect your life and death?"
Linhuang closed his eyes, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Of course there is an influence."
"It still depends on the scale of the tide. But the tidal luck that can support the canonization at once can save a dozen or even hundreds of years of hard work in the White Lotus Pure Land!"
"If the scale were larger, it would be even harder to say."
"But..." A trace of doubt flashed in Emperor Lin's eyes, "Not to mention the demon clan, our human race will also intervene in the battle for the blood tide. Why does the Buddhist sect in the Western Region think that he can take this luck into the netherworld?"
Chen Luo blinked: "I'll check this matter!"
…
Half a day later.
In the main hall of King Fengdu, Chen Luo looked at Ma Qing who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Do you remember everything?"
"Remember! Remember!"
"Say it once, I, the king, will listen."
Na Ma Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "I escaped when the prison king was arrested, and I am currently wanted by Dafeng."
"In desperation, I decided to go to the White Lotus Pure Land."
"There is nothing special about him, he just swept away the 200,000 souls hidden in the Prison King's Mansion!"
Chen Luo nodded: "Not bad!"
"Bring out the responsible Bodhisattva, and I will pardon your innocence!"
Ma Qing showed a bitter look on his face, kowtowed again, and said: "But Wang Jia, forgive me for speaking frankly, the Bodhisattva will not fall for such a simple plan!"
"Even if he is greedy for the two hundred thousand souls that the villain said, he will only send someone to connect me to the White Lotus Pure Land, and he will definitely not show up."
Chen Luo directly threw a celadon bottle in front of Ma Qing and said, "There are two hundred thousand souls in it."
"If you are connected to the White Lotus Pure Land by him, you will be lucky!"
Ma Qing glanced at the porcelain vase. He was so experienced. He could see at a glance that the porcelain vase was empty. He quickly kowtowed and said, "Wang Jia, you are asking me... to die!"
"Don't say that. I allowed you to perform meritorious service and atone for your sins. You failed to live up to your expectations, and the Bodhisattva of the White Lotus Pure Land found out that you deceived them and did what they did to you. Then I, too, have no intention..."
Hearing this, Ma Qing boldly glanced at Chen Luo and sighed: "Please Wang Jia issue a sea arrest document approving my arrest. It's not just me, there are two stewards of the Prison Prince's Mansion in the hell. They and the White Lotus Pure Land We have met, please send the arrest documents together!"
"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, they will be arrested at the border and sentenced to death!"
"Please also ask the king to give me some treasures that the prison king turned over when he ransacked his house, and a magic weapon of invisibility."
"I will send a message to that Bodhisattva, saying that if I don't see him, I will never show up."
"You can't scare a white wolf with nothing. Wang Jia still needs to give me a batch of living souls as a down payment. It's not much, just fifty thousand! When we get it, these batch of souls will naturally come back. Return to Wang Jia’s hands again.”
"But I need to select these 50,000 souls. They are all souls who are imprisoned in the depths of the Bottomless Hell, old, weak, sick, and disabled, and cannot withstand soul searching and exploration. The prison aura in them is enough to deceive the White Lotus Pure Land."
"In addition, the connection point cannot be at the Dafeng border, and a remote location needs to be chosen."
"Based on what I know about him, although he is a third-grade Bodhisattva, he has a good master. That's why he took on the job of handing over the job. He must have a lot of guarding Bodhisattvas around him."
"Wang Jia, please be prepared!"
Listening to Ma Qing's plan, Chen Luo nodded.
Well, the plan is very implementable, including atmosphere, reason, temptation, and other elements, and even the other party's behavior of searching for the living soul is taken into account.
Sure enough, evil people still need to be punished by evil people.
They are the ones who understand each other best!
Leaders should just fish from a high position!
"I will accept what you said!" Chen Luo said calmly, "As I said, if you succeed, I will pardon you; if you fail, you bear the consequences yourself!"
"The villain knows." Ma Qing sighed, "The villain is going to choose the soul now?"
"Go!" Chen Luo wrote a warrant and threw it to Ma Qing, "Just give it to Zhong Kui!"
"Thank you, King!" Ma Qing received the order and left the hall under the leadership of Gui Cha.
"Do you believe he can lead that Bodhisattva out?" After Ma Qing left, Shangguan Wan'er appeared next to Chen Luo and asked softly.
"It would be best if we can draw it out. Let's see if we can ask for some details and see if there are any opportunities to fish in troubled waters." Chen Luo said with a smile, "But whether we can draw it out or not, it will not affect the final outcome."
Perhaps from the perspective of White Lotus Pure Land, it doesn't matter even if their plan is noticed by the people in the netherworld, after all, they have no way to inform the human world.
This is a must-win chess game.
But Yaoshou died, and Chen Luo came down.
He can go back and forth!
If there was really a disagreement and nothing could be found, he, Chen Luo, would go directly to file a complaint!
Tell the humans and demons that the Buddhists in the Western Region plan to steal their homes!
Needless to say, the human race must believe what he says. As for the demon clan, Bai Ze got an omen in his dream. Is it reasonable?
If you don’t understand the rules of the card table, the worst possible outcome is to flip the table over!
So from the moment he knew about the White Lotus Pure Land plan, he, Chen Luo, was sure to win this round!
