After the boy died, although his soul left his body, it kept swaying beside the body and did not go to the underworld.
When Xue Tianqing was wondering, Hei Wuchang, who had brought him to the underworld, appeared out of thin air.
It's just that although Hei Wuchang appeared, no one present could see it except Xue Tianqing.
Qingyue could see the difference, but in order to prevent Meng Ji from playing tricks and taking the opportunity to escape, she did not follow Xue Tianqing here.
Seeing Hei Wuchang looking at him without saying anything, Xue Tianqing said again: "Why is it just you, where is Brother Bai?"
Hei Wuchang still ignored Xue Tianqing, but shook the chain in his hand, caught the young man's soul and took him away.
Xue Tianqing took two steps forward: "Wait a minute, we are friends we haven't seen for so many years. Can't we just say a few words before leaving?"
Hei Wuchang frowned: "Do you know that Heaven is looking for you?"
Xue Tianqing gestured with her thumb and index finger: "I know a little bit."
"Yun Zhongjun went to the underworld on the orders of the Jade Emperor and asked Lord Yan to check the book of life and death. He wanted to know your past."
Xue Tianqing scratched her head: "Didn't you say that my name is not in the book of life and death?"
Hei Wuchang nodded: "The Heavenly Court is investigating Sun Wukong, not Xue Tianqing. I advise you to restrain yourself. If you really anger the Heavenly Court, it will be very difficult to deal with."
"You didn't tell the truth to Yun Zhongjun?"
"I am a ghost general in the underworld, what do I have to do with the affairs of heaven?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Tianqing was surprised: Could it be that the underworld is not under the control of heaven?
Hei Wuchang understood what Xue Tianqing was thinking by looking at his expression: "Since ancient times, the three realms have stood side by side and have nothing to do with each other. If the human king hadn't been too greedy, how could the human world have fallen to this point?"
This was the first time Xue Tianqing heard such rhetoric. He was about to continue asking, but Hei Wuchang shook his head and said: "I have fallen so hard that I am not only hopeless, but I have also brought trouble to the underworld. I am going back, so please do more." Be careful not to become a lonely ghost with nowhere to take care of you."
Seeing Hei Wuchang dragging the boy's soul away, Xue Tianqing stepped in front of him: "Can you tell me what's going on in this manor?"
Hei Wuchang shook his head: "The underworld is not interested in matters in the human world."
Xue Tianqing grabbed Hei Wuchang: "Even if you are not interested in this, what about these two people?"
Hei Wuchang glanced at the two servants not far away: "They are still alive."
"Aren't you soul seducers? You can't take away living people?"
"Taking away the soul of a living person means removing the living soul. This will damage the soul and make you a foolish person in ten reincarnations."
Xue Tianqing smiled: "These two guys have done a lot of evil, so what does it matter if they are stupid for the rest of their lives? But there is one thing I don't understand. How can something worse than a beast like this be reincarnated into a human being?"
Hei Wuchang shook his head: "You don't understand what I mean. Of course, a person who has done many evil things cannot be reincarnated as a human being. But when his sins are redeemed, he will be reincarnated again."
Xue Tianqing took a breath of air: "That means no matter how many times you are reincarnated, as long as you reincarnate as a human being, you will be a fool after ten times?"
Seeing Hei Wuchang nodding, Xue Tianqing frowned and said: "The sins committed during life will be counted after death. I don't know what kind of rule this is. As long as you are happy and happy in this life, what's the problem even after you die? If there is no present life, How can it be awe-inspiring!"
Hei Wuchang snorted again when he heard this: "This is not the sin the Human King did back then! Without him, how could the world be like this!"
Hei Wuchang's words aroused Xue Tianqing's interest. He wanted to ask more questions, but he saw the other party waved his hand: "I have said enough, what are you going to do with these two people?"
"Based on what they did, what do you think should be done?"
"If you hurt your soul, you will be stupid for ten lifetimes, but you will not feel the pain. Do you understand?"
Xue Tianqing nodded: "I understand. If they are separated from their living souls, they will not have to repent in the eighteenth level of hell when they enter the underworld. No, this is too easy for them. According to what these two bastards have done, The oil pan under the mountain of knives is all light."
Hei Wuchang looked at Xue Tianqing in confusion and said, "It's easy for you to kill them."
Xue Tianqing shook his head: "I am a Taoist who wants to save all sentient beings, how can I kill people!"
Hearing what Xue Tianqing said, Hei Wuchang looked surprised, but before he could speak, Xue Tianqing waved his right hand and the two servants died.
"I don't kill people, but I kill animals." Under Hei Wuchang's contemptuous gaze, Xue Tianqing said without blushing and without a beating heart.
Hei Wuchang sighed: "A demon is a demon. He has just developed spiritual intelligence and committed such a crime."
Xue Tianqing was stunned when he heard this. He was about to ask what was going on, but saw that Hei Wuchang had locked the souls of the two of them, and their bodies began to become transparent.
Seeing Hei Wuchang disappearing on the spot with three souls, Xue Tianqing was very puzzled: they took him to the underworld through the light gate back then, why did they disappear this time?
While Xue Tianqing was deep in thought, Xu Chuan, who came with him, stepped forward and said, "My hero, did you order someone to bury their bodies?"
Xue Tianqing came back to her senses and said: "What's the point of burying such a beast? Just throw it into the mountains to feed the wolves!"
Seeing that Xue Tianqing was going back to the village, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "My hero, what were you talking to yourself just now?"
Xue Tianqing said in a deep voice: "I'm not talking to myself, I'm reminiscing with an old friend. To be precise, it's Hei Wuchang from the underworld. He just came and took away the souls of the three people."
Xue Tianqing's words shocked everyone present. Xu Chuan wanted to ask, but saw him turn around and walk back: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that those who do evil will not be punished, it's just that the time has not come yet. Wait until the sword is taken." When the oil pan is at the bottom of the mountain, the evildoer will know that he regrets it.”
Xu Chuan wiped the cold sweat on his head when he heard this, and then yelled at the servant who was standing on the spot: "Why are you still standing there? Go back quickly!"
As soon as she returned to the village, Qingyue told Xue Tianqing that just now there was a trace of evil spirit drifting through.
But when she tried to find the source, the evil spirit had disappeared without a trace.
Xue Tianqing nodded, then took Qingyue back to the guest room and asked about the past in the Three Realms.
Although Qingyue was a little confused, she still talked to Xue Tianqing about the origin of the Three Realms.
After Pangu opened the sky, the light and pure air rose to become the sky, and the heavy and turbid air descended to become the earth.
When the two qi separated, the yin and yang qi were generated again, gathering outside the heaven and earth to form the current underworld.
It's just that the underworld is independent of heaven and earth and cannot be reached by ordinary people.
When the Three Realms first appeared, heaven and hell were empty, and only various creatures began to appear in the human world.
Moreover, the ruler of the human world at that time was not the human race, but the witch race.
The Witch Clan governs all things in the world, including not only the human race, but also the demon race and other creatures.
It’s just that whether it’s the human race, the demon race, or even the witch race itself, after death, the soul has nowhere to rest after leaving the body, and can only wander in the world.
It was okay at first, but as the number of ghosts increased, the human world became the same as a ghost realm.
The more ghosts there are, the heavier the yin energy in the human world will be, and the shorter the lifespan of various creatures will be.
The shorter the life span, the more ghosts there are. If this cycle continues, sooner or later only ghosts will be left in the world.
Just when the Wu clan was unable to do anything about it, a treasure flashed out of the remaining chaos in Kunlun Mountain, which is now the treasure of the underworld, the Book of Life and Death.
The Book of Life and Death not only communicates yin and yang, but also records the past good and evil of all living beings in the world, including even several high-ranking innate saints.
After the Book of Life and Death was born, it directly tore open the barrier between heaven and earth and went to the underworld. At the same time, it also opened the path between heaven and earth and the underworld.
After learning that a strange treasure appeared in the Kunlun Mountains and breaking through the barrier between heaven and earth to fly outside the territory, the masters of the Wu clan worked together to pursue its traces and finally arrived at the current location of the underworld.
After everyone arrived at the underworld, they found that it was not only suitable for ghosts to survive, but also found another treasure - the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, which could help ghosts die.
In order to protect the peace of the world, the Empress Houtu was willing to stay in another world, create an underworld, and guide various ghosts to reincarnate, so that the world gradually returned to its former prosperity.
Later, as Emperor Dongyue and Emperor Fengdu went there one after another, the underworld finally took on what it is today.
Just when the Wu Clan was creating the underworld and had no time to take care of it, another race in the human world, the Demon Clan, appeared with two unrivaled geniuses: Donghuang Taiyi and Demon Emperor Jun.
The two were dissatisfied with the rule of the Wu clan, and finally ascended to heaven and founded Heaven.
From then on, the demon clan controlled heaven, and the witch clan controlled the underworld and the human world for tens of millions of years.
As time went by, the two Lich clans became increasingly dissatisfied with the status quo, and began to turn their attention to the places ruled by the other party, and eventually a war broke out.
The war lasted for many years and was extremely brutal. Even the two Jade Emperors, Donghuang Taiyi and Emperor Jun, were killed in the war. The twelve witch ancestors of the Wu clan were almost completely wiped out.
Just when both sides were severely weakened, the human race, which had accumulated strength for many years, rose up, and finally swept the three realms with a thunderous force, taking the entire world into its own hands.
After the human race took over the world, each of the three realms belonged to its master: the Jade Emperor, Yama and the Human King. This grand scene lasted for thousands of years.
Originally, the status of the three kings was equal, and the three realms fought against each other. However, due to the vast territory of heaven and the sparse population, under the planning of the Three Purities, a war of apotheosis finally ushered in, and the gods of heaven returned to their respective places.
Although the Conferred God War greatly increased the power of the heaven, it also led to the decline of the human world. Not only the masters of the human race ascended to heaven and became gods, but even the current human kings who were originally alongside the Jade Emperor also became heavenly generals.
When a human king becomes a god, what he takes away is not himself, but the human world's artifact that gathers luck.
Just as there is the Donghuang Bell in the heaven and the Book of Life and Death in the underworld, the human world also has its own treasure - the Pangu Ax.
The spiritual energy in the human world is thin, but because of the presence of Pangu's ax, the spiritual energy used for cultivation can be continuously absorbed from heaven and hell, so that the human world can flourish forever.
The disappearance of the Pangu Ax not only left the world without a world-saving treasure, it also lost its aura.
When the spiritual energy is still there, the purpose of human masters' practice is the peace of the entire race.
After the aura disappears, immortality becomes their ultimate goal.
Therefore, walking on the road to heaven and reaching the Immortal Platform has become the expectation of all mortals.
From then on, the human world became a vassal of the heaven, and the king of the human race was no longer the king of humans, but the emperor - the son of heaven.
