"Stop pretending, I know you're awake."
The face of the woman in the ice coffin is still beautiful, her delicate face is pale and bloodless, like a sleeping beauty who will never wake up.
As the words fell, the woman's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the Yin Qi in the coffin quickly gathered and poured into her body. She slowly opened her eyes. Her black and white eyes did not contain any impurities and were pure and innocent.
At the same time, dark runes of divine light circulated on the ice coffin and suddenly opened up.
The woman stood up from the ice coffin, and the rich Yin Qi turned into a black skirt covering her body. "Who are you?" She looked at Su Ming in front of her and asked doubtfully.
In her body, Su Ming felt an ancient and mysterious energy, which was no different from the Ksitigarbha that the inner demon saw in the underworld. He thought that this person appeared at the same time as the Yuanshen Black Lotus, and the Yuanshen Black Lotus was once Ksitigarbha's treasure for protecting the Way.
This woman must be from the underworld, perhaps a remnant of a god.
Su Ming had a guess in his mind and replied softly, "Amitabha, this poor monk is Pudu Cihang, the great master of the Zhou Dynasty. Who are you?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes full of doubts, and she murmured, "Who am I? Who am I?"
Amnesia? Su Ming was a little stunned. He didn't expect that this woman who was suspected of being from the underworld actually lost her memory. "Donor, don't panic. What you have is probably amnesia. The poor monk can diagnose and treat you." His voice was gentle. Tranquility inadvertently makes people relax, and the woman who has lost her memory at this moment is like a blank sheet of paper and knows nothing. Although she feels something is wrong, she still subconsciously agreed.
Seeing her nodding, Su Ming pinched her wrist to diagnose her pulse, but in reality he used his spiritual thoughts to explore her body. As he probed with his spiritual thoughts, he discovered that there was another extremely huge Yin Qi in this woman's body. , these yin energy entrenched in her body did not damage her body, but continued to nourish her body.
Under the nourishment of these yin energy, her body continued to become stronger all the time, similar to body refining. Su Ming ignored it and continued to explore, and finally found something strange in her sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness of ordinary people should be completely dark except for their own innate aura. During the process of practice, monks will strengthen this innate aura into a soul or even a soul. This is why monks can cultivate and even control aura. .
In this woman's sea of consciousness, it was not darkness, but chaos. Su Ming did not find her soul or soul in it, and only saw a bridge.
A bridge spanned the sea of her consciousness, exuding eternal energy. Su Ming's spiritual thoughts were shaken away as soon as he got closer.
At this time, a change occurred in the woman, and a powerful divine power emerged from her body. Even Su Ming was excluded and could not get close to her.
Fortunately, this divine power only enveloped her body and did not continue to spread.
The woman covered her head with a painful expression, "Who am I? Am I Naihe Qiao?"
"No, I am Mrs. Meng!"
"Mother Meng is me!"
"I am Mrs. Meng!"
······
The moans became weaker and weaker but more and more determined, and her eyes became brighter and brighter, and her whole temperament also changed inexplicably.
Su Ming was a little surprised when he heard this name. As far as he knew, shouldn't Po Meng be an old woman? How could she be so beautiful?
But then, he felt relieved. For gods, they have no form or form, and skin, bones, and flesh are just appearances. Couldn't Po Meng be her incarnation? "Fellow Taoist is the one on the Naihe Bridge?"
The woman who called herself Meng Po nodded and transformed into a gray-haired old woman, "Exactly. Thank you to the holy monk for your help. I can't thank you enough."
"Fellow Taoist, what you said is serious. The poor monk just happened to meet you. Your ability to escape from the catastrophe of the underworld was destined by God and has nothing to do with the poor monk."
Po Meng nodded lightly, with a solemn look on her face, "In normal times, I would naturally have a discussion with the master, but now the underworld is in chaos and order is gone. I have to return to the underworld to reorganize the underworld, so I won't talk much here. .”
"Fellow Taoist, just do what you want." After saying this, Su Ming had no choice but to let her go.
"Thank you!" Po Meng saluted him, stepped into the realm of yin and yang, and opened a path to the Yin Division.
As her figure disappeared, the road was closed.
At this moment, there was only Su Ming and the sky-shielding coffin in the hall. He put the sky-shielding coffin into the storage ring with a flick of his hand, with a smile on his face, "Underworld is going to be lively again."
try{mad1('gad2');} catch(ex){}The appearance of Ksitigarbha has broken the plans of countless people. If nothing else, the plans of the ghost emperors from all directions will be defeated on their own. Zao intervened, and with their strength, it was easy to subtly obtain the divine position.
And now, Po Meng on the Naihe Bridge appears again.
Just as Su Ming guessed, the gods of the underworld have not completely evacuated. Not only the gods of the underworld, but also the gods of heaven may not have all left this world.
It can be foreseen that in the days to come, Meng Po will not be the only one to resurrect the gods. The three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon, as well as gods, dragons, demons and the human race will form a different pattern.
And all the heroes are competing for that chance of transcendence.
However, for Su Ming, what he has to do now is to continue to develop and be ready to deal with everything. In this world, he believes in no one but himself.
Only real power is the foundation of everything, everything else is false, and what he did was precisely to pursue more powerful power.
He no longer intends to interfere in the affairs of the underworld. The inner demon is already qualified to become a player in the chess game of the underworld. Neither the wild ghost emperors nor the gods of the underworld can get around him.
The appearance of Po Meng will inevitably change the structure of the Yin Division again. In terms of personality and authority, she may not be as good as Ksitigarbha, but she is the only one among the gods of the Yin Division who has recovered.
No one can ignore this particularity, but they don't know how much power of the underworld she can mobilize. Of course, Su Ming had no intention of going against them.
Part of the reason for the imbalance of yin and yang lies in the Yin Division, and the re-establishment of the order in the Yin Division can postpone the arrival of the Five Turbid World, which will give Su Ming more time to make plans.
Su Ming's biggest problem now is not his combat power and realm, but his foundation. He needs more time to accumulate. Only in this way can he compete with all parties.
······
In the Netherworld, with a thought from the inner demon, Ksitigarbha's soul, Black Lotus, escaped from the void and landed under his seat. Everything he could see had turned into his pure land.
And his pure land is not a Buddhist country, nor a demonic realm, but a human world.
There is a saying that hell is empty and the devil is in the world.
In the Yang world, the inner demon absorbed the demonic thoughts of countless humans and monks. Compared with the demons he infected, those monks and humans in the human world were more like demons.
They are exploiting and oppressing their kind all the time, exuding endless evil thoughts. However, among all living beings, there are not only real demons, but also real Buddhas.
Not everyone is born willing to be aloof. There are also people who can think, save, and help others. The needs of these people are trivial, but their good deeds make their hearts peaceful.
For the inner demon, he doesn't care about good or evil. He is even a combination of good and evil. Sometimes, doing good is more terrifying than doing evil.
The reason why the inner demon does this is just to make his pure land more like the human world. In this human world, he is the supreme master.
Not long after, his pure land and the underworld were integrated, and the heavenly scroll on his body disappeared. In his sea of consciousness, there was an additional mark on the spirit body of the demon Buddha.
This mark is the seal of reincarnation. The path of the demon Buddha is vast and infinite. Even if he embarks on this path, he dare not say that he can reach the last step.
Therefore, he turned his Tao Fruit into the Seal of Reincarnation. Whenever his realm reaches a higher level, there will be one more Seal of Reincarnation in his body. After three reincarnations, he will become a Buddha or a demon.
After nine reincarnations, he may be able to find an unprecedented path. For people in their realm, each time they advance to a higher level, it is tantamount to reincarnation. Only by truly stepping into the realm of the soul can they understand the mystery. .
Just after the inner demon completely refined the Red Cliff Beacon Map and the Yin Soldier Battle Formation, the underworld once again made waves.
By the Yellow Spring, the dim river flows quietly, and countless ghosts on the river are mourning and cursing. After the chaos in the underworld, no one was extradited at Naihe Bridge. These souls who should have re-entered reincarnation are lost in the underworld, and some When encountering evil ghosts and souls, they were swallowed up. Some accidentally fell into the eighteenth level of hell and were unable to be reincarnated forever. Some fell into the Yellow River and could not escape. They could only have their memories washed away and drifted in the river in a muddle... ···
Over time, in just a few decades, the entire Netherworld was filled with endless resentment, evil spirit, and evil spirit... This was one of the reasons why Su Ming let his inner demons enter the Netherworld.
try{mad1('gad2');} catch(ex){}After Meng Po left the Qintian Prison, she passed directly through the void of Yin and Yang and stepped into the underworld. She stood on the Naihe Bridge and looked at the souls coming and going. , with a complicated expression.
Naihe Bridge is the important place of the underworld. Maybe it's time for her to return to her place.
"Naihe Bridge, open!"
Previously, Ksitigarbha had mobilized his authority to restore the palace facilities of the Yinsi, which to a certain extent enabled the Yinsi's institutions to begin operating. However, this operation could not last long. Once the power of authority he left behind was exhausted, the Yinsi would resume operations. Restore chaos.
But now, Meng Po's resuscitation gave Netherworld an opportunity to recover. She stood at the end of the Naihe Bridge and returned to her former appearance, hunched over and ladling Meng Po soup.
Those souls wandering and lost at the head of Naihe Bridge seemed to be inexplicably drawn, and they consciously lined up to take Meng Po soup from Meng Po's hands, and headed back to the land of six paths of reincarnation.
Without the gods of the underworld to judge sins, all she can do is wash away their memories and make them re-enter reincarnation.
"Mother Meng!"
"Another god!"
"Are the gods coming back again?"
······
The land of the Netherworld is huge, but Naihe Bridge is the center of the Netherworld. How can the changes happening here be hidden from the eyes of those who care about it? Not long after Meng Po appeared, the news spread quickly.
Those old ghosts and several ghost emperors all looked stunned and very surprised.
But there is no doubt that after learning the news, everyone made a tacit agreement not to disturb Po Meng. Ksitigarbha's residual thoughts had just disappeared. They did not want to touch the gods of the underworld at this time.
If the sleeping gods were offended, they wouldn't have anywhere to cry.
After Meng Po appeared, the inner demons were in seclusion. At the same time, his pure land was also operating in an orderly manner. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is one of the most respected elders in Buddhism. He once held the authority of Buddhism. If he had not made great wishes, he would have said Maybe there would be nothing wrong with Maitreya Buddha.
The underworld he built can be called a shrunken underworld. The palace facilities here are intact, but there are no gods and ghosts, so they cannot operate.
After the inner demon integrated it into his own pure land, he directly released Cao Jun and the Bone Yin Soldiers from the Red Cliff Beacon Map to restore order.
Hundreds of thousands of Yin soldiers are distributed in the underworld, constantly capturing the souls in the underworld to judge and condemn them, and send them back to reincarnation. Although there may be problems with their trial, it is generally correct, and even if there are some mistakes, it is not harmful.
It didn't take long for the inner demon's pure land to regain order. The souls living here are old and young, male and female, good and evil, poor and rich, noble and humble...
The only difference is that the inner demons did not save them, but maintained the operation of the underworld in the form of a dynasty.
On the Naihe Bridge, Meng Po was feeding Meng Po soup to the souls of the past. Suddenly, she seemed to notice something. Her eyes seemed to penetrate the underworld and directly saw the inner demon sitting on the black lotus of the soul, overlooking all living beings.
After taking a look, she smiled slightly, withdrew her gaze, and continued to extradite sentient beings.
······
Just when something happened in the Netherworld, the Yang world also changed.
Although the Great Zhou has not regained all the lost territory, it has also occupied the core area of the Central Plains. What's more, during this period, they have prepared their army for war and controlled powerful force, allowing the Great Zhou to sweep away the past decline.
Under such circumstances, the imperial court also began to change its thinking, preparing to recuperate and fight a protracted war, and the first thing they wanted to do was to win over the people's support.
This popular sentiment is not the popular sentiment of ordinary ordinary people, but the popular sentiment of the squire family. Only by winning over them can the imperial court's rule be long-term and stable.
To achieve this goal, there is only one way, to join Enke and reopen the imperial examination.
The imperial examination system gave ordinary people the possibility of promotion, but how could the children of poor families compare with the long-established family gentry? The biggest purpose of the imperial examination system was to absorb the elites of the aristocratic families and tie them to the court's battles. car.
After several days of discussion, the court prepared to officially join Enke to show the emperor's grace and power.
