Is Xiong Man about to die?
Tang Ping quickly transformed back into the underworld.
The underworld, with its gray tones and red blood moon, felt very familiar to Tang Ping.
He once looked for the blood moon in the underworld, and then flew to the underworld, and realized that the blood moon was just a projection of the underworld, and that there was no entity in the underworld.
There is a long river of Huangquan in the underworld.
The Yellow Spring is winding and twisted, and all kinds of creatures are in it, undergoing the baptism of the Yellow Spring water.
Some ghosts are in despair. This is because the foul air such as blood energy and evil spirits penetrate deep into the soul. When Huangquan absorbs these things, it also absorbs their spirits.
But that's okay. Ghosts that have reached this level are basically evil people in the world of the world. This can be regarded as punishing evil and promoting good.
Since the story of the underworld was spread to the human world, the crime rate in the human world has dropped a lot.
There are many great cities in the vast land of the underworld.
Tang Ping flew all the way to avoid being disturbed by others, and even hid his body.
The underworld city is similar to the mortal city. Although the color tone is different, the overall difference is almost the same.
After the ghost has passed the first test of the underworld, the filth on the body is washed away, and the missing arms and legs will return to normal.
Then, under the leadership of Gui Cha, he was sent to the corresponding city according to his place of origin.
Families are reunited in the underworld, where they spend the life of ghosts.
Of course, there are also many ghosts who stand out and become ghosts.
"It's peaceful after death..." Tang Ping thought of the past.
Back then, the underworld was not so peaceful. The ghosts in the underworld were fighting all the time. It was not easy for me to survive, let alone reunite my family.
"But the birth of ghosts is easier, and the whole family comes together."
After a normal person dies, his soul dissipates within forty-nine days.
Ghosts have grievances and regrets during their lives. When they reach a certain level, their souls will not disappear after death and become ghosts. The maximum lifespan of a ghost is eighty-nine years.
Basically, those who become ghosts are isolated cases. Nowadays, many people directly become ghosts after death, and they don't show any hostility.
Tang Ping's explanation for this is that the laws of heaven and earth are perfect and the turbidity in the world is increasing, so there are more ghosts.
Soon, Tang Ping came to a city of flames.
This is a hot land, mostly composed of fire ghosts.
He did not let anyone inform him, but went straight to the depths of the palace.
Wow!
The palace is quaint and the environment is dim.
The furniture is made of mahogany, the surface is painted with red paint, and various textures are outlined with black paint.
There was a man sitting in front of the case.
Three long beards and fire lines between the eyebrows. The pale skin is covered with red lines, densely packed like broken vases.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be true. There were more and more cracks on Xiong Man's body, and his body's strength was rapidly declining.
"Is it really impossible to break through?" Tang Ping asked as soon as he arrived.
"It turns out to be the God Lord, cough cough..." As soon as he opened his mouth, maybe he was a little excited, Xiong Man coughed violently, and there were many more cracks on his body, "It's no longer possible, too much wear and tear, and there is no hope of breaking through the Yin Shen."
"What else do you wish for? Have a good rest." Tang Ping sighed.
No one can escape life and death, even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times must either die or sleep.
Not to mention a small apparition like Xiong Man.
"Wish? I wanted to see the Chu Kingdom rule the world, but it's a pity that I can't see it."
Xiong Man walked to the window and opened it.
In front of the window is a bustling ghost town at night.
"Zhang Wulang and I established the system of the underworld. There are ten halls under King Yin Tian, and the masters of the ten halls perform their respective duties. The masters of the halls are under the jurisdiction of marshals, ghost generals, ghost messengers, and ghost soldiers. There are many ghosts, even if a genius appears, I have to climb up according to this system.”
"Although it is a small contribution, it can still have a slight impact on me."
"Don't belittle yourselves, you have done a good enough job."
Tang Ping said with relief.
Having said that, I did see a different scene when I came to the underworld this time.
From being divided by a group of heroes, to becoming a unified world.
The idea of unification was actually achieved in the underworld.
After unifying the underworld, it was natural to create a hole and let the ghosts from all over the world come up to camp. Xiong Man was right about this.
"Do you want to visit your descendants in the mortal world? You can go and have a look."
In addition to communicating with priests and wizards, Tang Ping strictly prohibits any ghosts and gods from communicating directly with mortals. The maximum limit for high-level ghosts and gods is to entrust dreams, and the content of the dreams must be reported in a timely manner.
To prevent some unwilling emperors from interfering with reality.
But at the end of Xiong Man's life, this restriction no longer matters.
"Haha, no need, they don't know me."
The current King of Chu is Xiong Yang. It has been several generations and he probably has no impression of himself.
Soon, the cracks grew larger.
Xiong Ying, the Xiong clan members, Zhang Wulang, Zhang Xian and his son, Yu Qi and others also came.
"Ahem, it's just a separation between life and death, don't act like a little girl."
Xiong Man closed his eyes and waited quietly for death to come.
The ghosts and gods remained silent, quietly watching Xiong Man sit down and transform.
When his soul was gone, Xiong Man's memory returned to the heroic days of those years.
Xiong Ying is his father, the second chief of the Xiong clan, and the first king of Chu.
To be fair, Xiong Man's reputation in history books is not very good, and he is simply synonymous with quick success.
When Xiong Manchu came to the throne, he was ambitious and wanted to make a legacy that surpassed that of his ancestors.
He was eager for quick success and became king, and he was also eager for quick success and used human sacrifice to enhance his cultivation. In the end, he was punished by the gods and committed suicide.
All in all, life as a living person is a failure at every turn.
You can only make some achievements after death.
Wow...
Xiong Man turned into a point of light and disappeared.
Before dying, Xiong Man hummed a poem in a low voice.
"The great roc is flying to inspire the eight descendants, but it is not powerful enough to destroy the sky. The lingering wind is stirring for all ages, and the fusang is hanging on the stone sleeves... Everyone, say goodbye!"
Xiong Man hugged his fists and said goodbye, and finally passed away.
None of the ghosts and gods were sad. This is the final destination of everyone.
As a person who has died once, facing the second death is nothing but eternal peace.
Not to mention Tang Ping, he was the one who sent away the most people.
Frog, Zhang Qi, Xiong Ying, Shi Shiweng, Yu Ji... there are many others whose names I can't remember, too many to count.
"The positions of the God of Chu and the God of Danyang Mountain cannot be left vacant. Let Xiong Yingqian take over."
"Yes." Xiong Ying couldn't refuse because there was no one left.
He is the only one of the Xiong family who can manifest ghosts and gods, and most of the other children cannot.
If someone with a foreign surname is allowed to serve as the god of Chu, it would seem a bit nondescript.
"As for the city gods of Chu's counties and the cities of the five counties... let Zhang Xian take charge."
Tang Ping looked at the second Meishan Cult Master. This kid was about to achieve a spiritual breakthrough, so he gave him a push.
"As commanded."
Tang Ping thought for a moment and said: "In the future, Xiong Man's name and achievements will be engraved on the Fire God Palace in the underworld and the Chu Kingdom Temple in the underworld for future generations to admire."
Xiong Ying nodded in agreement. Xiong Man was his father, and that was as it should be.
Tang Ping was about to leave when Zhang Wulang suddenly stopped him and said, "I want to go to Shang Kingdom to have some experience."
"Shang Guo? You are the king of the underworld, how can you have time to go there?"
"Most ghosts and gods can handle the affairs of the underworld alone, but Huang Quan is responsible for many more affairs than I, the king of the underworld."
Zhang Wulang felt a little ashamed: "Besides, if I want to break through the Yinshen, I can only go out and fight."
He felt that he would be too comfortable after death.
At that time, there were the ancient kingdoms of Wuxia and Jing Kingdom. Fighting all day long, the cultivation level is rising.
Because of this, the name of Meishan Cult Leader became well-known to the world.
It can be said that the previous realms were all achieved through battles.
Now that Xiong Manshen is dead and Zhang Wulang is still within a few decades, he might as well give it a try for the time being.
"Your reputation is different from others, how can you hide yourself?"
"I plan to give up part of my cultivation and practice by reincarnating myself to reshape my body."
Reincarnation is the latest method developed by Zhang Wulang.
Find a fetus whose birth date is the same as your own, and cast its soul into the fetus before it is born with spiritual intelligence.
After waking up like this, you will have a physical body, but the disadvantage is that you lose your memory and your lifespan will not change at all.
If the memory is restored one day, then the cultivation level will be restored.
If the memory cannot be restored, the consequences can be imagined.
The most important thing is that there should be no outside guidance.
If you don't make a breakthrough on your own, the guidance of outsiders will easily conflict with the personality of the past life and the current life, leading to obsession.
"It's a good approach, but it's too risky."
"I will arrange some opportunities to guide you in the early stage. If it still doesn't work, I can only blame fate."
Zhang Wulang smiled with relief, and then added: "Once the method of reincarnation is successful, it may also be a way for ghosts to practice again. The baby in the womb has not developed intelligence, and is just flesh and blood, so it does not harm Tianhe."
The more difficult thing about reincarnation is to calculate the birth date. After all, the fetus is born during the time when it comes out of the mother's body, not when it is born in the womb. If the birth time is wrong, it can easily disappear directly.
"Since this is your ambition, I won't force it. You can make your own arrangements. If you need any assistance, you can communicate with others and try to meet your requirements."
"As you command!"
Zhang Wulang was also stimulated by Xiong Man's death. Before this, he would never have taken such a risk.
Facts have proved that it is still necessary to fight.
Tang Ping flew out of the underworld.
On the way, he saw the prosperous underworld and the equally prosperous Yang world.
The ghosts and gods are in order, and the gods in the world are orderly.
Most of these people's faces are unfamiliar.
The four seasons of metabolism, the alternation of old and new.
Xiong Man's death made Tang Ping deeply moved.
A new generation replaces the old, and I am witnessing it all.
Maybe I can really remain unchanged forever.
Tang Ping thought so.
He does not want to participate in the so-called epic legends, but he is quite happy to be an audience of these legendary epics.
The battles of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period...it's so interesting to watch them from generation to generation.
Why go to all the trouble to participate in this?
Soon, we arrived in Wushan.
At this time, Chonghou had become a corpse.
Chonghou is lying in the coffin. There is an altar in front of the coffin. On the altar are swords, bows and four kinds of restraints, which are used to suppress Chonghou's soul to prevent him from suddenly being born as a ghost, so that he cannot be controlled by them.
The ugly woman covered her face and recited the incantation of the ritual of cutting mountains and cutting grass.
On the altar are placed the underground master's god card and the twelve spirits. The twelve spirits are the sun spirit, the moon spirit, the gold spirit, the wood spirit...and so on.
Because Chonghou was powerful during his lifetime, he had to use this method to suppress the corpse.
At the end of the ceremony, a golden light penetrated Chonghou's forehead.
After a long time, the golden light flew out again.
This time he looked like Chonghou.
"Oh it's you……"
Chonghou was about to call for his mount, but found that it was missing.
Not only that, but also his own Fang Tian Hua Ji disappeared at the same time.
"Don't waste your efforts." Tang Ping pointed.
Chonghou covered his head, as if something was stirring in his brain. He was in so much pain that he seemed to be about to lose his soul in the next second.
"What's going on? My body..."
Only then did Chonghou realize that he was dead.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the Lord of the Underground, the Lord of the Kingdoms of Chu, Xiang, Wu, Tang, and Jade..."
It explained the current situation of Chonghou and made this guy realize that his life was in someone else's hands.
"Think about it for yourself, either surrender, this is the best choice. Or don't surrender. Anyway, you can't escape my grasp. If you don't surrender, you can give it a try. By the way, Di Xin doesn't treat you well, so why should you remain loyal after death? .”
Chonghou looked gloomy and was speechless.
The Chong surname is a big family. Not only myself, but also many members of the family are protected by Chaoge. If I defect to this side, once word spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Also, I am still the eldest son of the head of the Tang family, that is, your good friend..."
Chonghou suddenly raised his head, looked at Tang Ping for a while, and saw some clues. Then he suddenly realized and laughed up to the sky, with a hint of sadness in his laughter.
"Haha, I see, this is fate. I betrayed my friend back then, and I have to suffer bad consequences today. I deserve it."
As one of the disciples, Chonghou had no advantage. Later, he made friends with Tang Yang, who was good at alchemy. Relying on his elixirs, Chonghou practiced hard for many years and finally entered the king's sight.
Later, Guo Shuqi came with a large amount of pills. At that time, Chonghou lacked the resources to win over the important officials of the court, so he was greedy, so he shielded Guo Shuqi.
Thinking about this matter makes me toss and turn.
Being controlled by Tang Ping today may be his destiny.
thump!
"My lord, Chonghu pays homage to the underground master."
Chonghou bowed his head and half knelt, formally declaring his allegiance.
"Ping Shen... I will grant you the title of Yanyang City God."
Tang Ping did not explain, but just told Chonghou to relax.
Chonghou thought it was another means of control and thought it didn't matter. He already had one anyway and didn't care about one more.
Unexpectedly, upon sensing this object, his expression froze in an instant.
"No wonder...gods can also divide states and build countries. No wonder Chu State developed so fast."
"Yanyang is a county by the Han River. It has twelve counties under its jurisdiction. This county has just been established. It has a population of two million. It is enough for you to practice. Get familiar with it first. I will give you a task later."
It was originally the newly appointed Zhang Xian's decision, but now he still lets himself use it.
Tang Ping returned to Wushan to practice.
one year later.
Ji Dan, who had been wandering for more than ten years, finally returned to Xiqi miserably, causing a sensation in Xiqi.
Especially when Ji Dan said that it was the Chu State that did it, it made other countries condemn the Chu State for being unjust.
Just when people were raging and wanted to attack the Chu State, Jiang Shang poured cold water on it: "It is not appropriate to arbitrate side affairs and station troops to defend the borders of the country to prevent the Chu State from striking preemptively."
"The Kingdom of Shu made peace with the Ancient Kingdom of Wuxia, and you and I fought for hundreds of thousands of years, leaving the Ancient Kingdom of Wuxia to concentrate on dealing with the approaching Chu Kingdom."
Jiang Shang's few words made everyone admire him greatly.
The relationship between Chu State and the northern countries was tense, but it had not yet reached the point of detonation.
At this time, two people came to Jingdu secretly.
