Chapter 293 Thoughts
heaven.
Above the nine heavens, there is the Lingxiao Palace.
The Emperor of Heaven stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes stern.
"When did he... become so suspicious?"
On the side, Taishang Laojun sat cross-legged quietly.
Laojun thought for a moment, flicked his whisk, opened and closed his eyes slightly, and cleared his throat.
"It has been like this ever since... you broke my head on me."
Emperor of Heaven: “…”
"I just want to tell him that the glory of heaven will eventually shine on the underworld."
"Even if the road ahead is dark, I will pierce through the mist."
"Don't worry, just let it go and change it."
Laojun laughed heartily, wearing a Taoist robe, looking very extraordinary.
"Your performance is a little... vague."
"I'm afraid the Hades Emperor has something to guess."
On the side, fairy light flickered.
Taibai Jinxing's clone flew out from nothingness.
"This old minister pays homage to the Lord of Heaven."
Taibai Jinxing has a kind and benevolent face.
The Emperor turned his eyes slightly:
"What did Taibai find during his exploration of the human world?"
Taibai Jinxing smiled, with a calm smile on his face.
"The old minister has walked around in the world."
"With the help of the power of Heaven, I only killed 271 mountain gods and 326 river gods, and then stopped early."
"Now, I am visiting the Earth Mother, representing the Heavenly Court, to apologize for the blood of the immortals that has stained the earth."
The Emperor was silent for a moment.
"Don't forget to leave bait."
Taibai Jinxing had a kind and gentle temperament, and he bowed slightly: "I left some small fish and shrimps, and did not kill them all."
"Lest the people behind the scenes be frightened and bury themselves deep inside."
"I think that soon, there will be some changes in the world."
"If there is chaos then..."
Taibai Jinxing changed the subject.
"There is the Anshan Mountain God who draws his sword and kills the immortals. From his perspective, he will kill them all."
"At least, when he takes action, it won't scare some old guys into hiding."
"Who knows, maybe we can force a few of them to jump out."
Taishang Laojun was sitting cross-legged on the side and chuckled when he heard this.
"Old friend Taibai always takes prudent actions, and I think he has thought things through very carefully."
Upon hearing this, the old-looking Taibai Jinxing bowed gently and smiled kindly:
"Don't tease me, old friend... Can you refine that furnace of Nine Revolutions Golden Pill?"
The Emperor raised his lips slightly, put his hands behind his back and said nothing.
Laojun thought of something, his face darkened, he swung his whisk and hummed softly.
"As soon as you open your mouth, you'll get a whole pot of rice... just eat it!"
"I'm not afraid of bursting!"
The Emperor of Heaven coughed lightly, without even looking at Laojun's expression, and stood with his hands behind his back, pretending he had not heard anything.
......
In the underworld.
Li Yuan has started wandering around.
However, there was a conscious reminder in his mind:
Don't look for Anyue's souls anymore.
The bond of the past should end when it is completed.
So as not to disturb the peace and make those souls worried.
Li Yuan strolled through the vast Fengdu City, and all the faces he saw were ghosts.
After death, those living beings who have accumulated good karma will either be reincarnated directly with their good karma.
Or you can waste your good karma and experience the life of a ghost in the underworld.
Of course, there are also some souls who do not want to be reincarnated or who cannot queue up in the cycle of reincarnation, and so they have no choice but to live in various ghost towns.
However, this kind of soul has many restrictions and is not allowed to leave the ghost town.
"Brother, what are you going to do?"
The voice of the celestial demon came from the scales in his arms.
Since it was a telepathic message, only Li Yuan could hear it.
"Most of what the underworld carries are the resentments and regrets of the living souls."
"Since we have decided to start with the matter of resurrecting souls."
"I plan to build a hometown viewing platform in front of the Naihe Bridge, which is closest to Fengdu City."
"With the opportunity to look back at our relatives and friends, I think the regrets of the living souls will be reduced a little."
Li Yuan sent a message and left.
Floating in the pond of rebirth, although you can see the past, it is ultimately a thing of the past.
The souls have never really seen their living relatives and friends.
When I passed by the Three Lives Stone, although I understood the cause and effect of the three lives, when I watched from the sidelines, I felt like a person watching a story.
There are regrets after all.
The demon chuckled:
"I knew you would remember this."
"If I hadn't fallen out with that old ghost back then."
"I told him to build this thing a long time ago."
"But he is just lazy. Over the years, he has never thought about improving himself."
Li Yuan nodded and smiled calmly.
No wonder this underworld is so similar to the myths of that world.
It turns out that this 'fellow villager' has already come to construct the outline once.
"In addition to the Wangxiangtai, I also plan to try the rules of resurrection."
Li Yuan recalled the pleading faces of those souls and sighed slightly.
The soul returns to the human world to visit relatives and bids farewell to old friends on the Wangxiang Terrace.
Reincarnation is ruthless, but the underworld should be compassionate.
The place where all souls return, those countless living souls are both new passers-by and old friends.
Tian Yao took a slight breath.
"This theory of resurrection involves all intelligent beings. I'm afraid the workload is a bit too much..."
"The many underworld immortals in the underworld may not cooperate with you."
Li Yuan chuckled, feeling somewhat helpless.
"This is just an idea for now. How to do it specifically depends on the attitudes of those Hades Immortals."
He wandered around Fengdu City, getting to know the customs and practices of the underworld.
The Hades is quite generous.
There are hundreds of millions of Hades in the Hades Order.
It is the currency of the underworld, used throughout the netherworld.
Li Yuan casually spent some ghost money and listened to the ghost scholar telling stories in the city.
He also secretly looked at the habits and rules of the ghost messenger's work.
Finally, he discovered that there was an existence of extremely low status in this underworld.
Called ghost slave.
Rumor has it that it is the soul that once jumped into the Forgotten River.
Unwilling to forget his past life, he would rather endure the endless pain and torture of the Forgotten River than not forget the past.
But time passes.
All traces of these souls were eventually wiped out by the Forgotten River, and even their true spirits were almost annihilated. They became stupid and foolish, and forgot everything.
Finally, he was picked up by a faceless monster on the banks of the Forgotten River and sold to the Ghost Town as a slave.
They are called slaves, but in fact... these souls who have forgotten everything are a kind of 'food'.
Ghosts in the city who have enough money often buy some ghost slaves.
Work hard without complaint.
If the soul is accidentally damaged, it can devour these ghost slaves to replenish itself.
The ghost slaves that were devoured eventually vanished into thin air and did not enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Li Yuan walked into a street where ghost slaves were sold.
In the cages, the ghost slaves were sitting and curled up, their eyes were dull and their bodies were almost transparent.
There were a few who had some light and consciousness left in their eyes, and they just sat quietly, allowing the other souls to look at and choose them.
"A newly rescued ghost slave, one thousand ghost yuan, no cheating~!"
There was a ghost chuckling, the voice was sharp and a little cunning.
However, almost no soul lingered in front of its stall, obviously knowing that the stall owner was a rip-off.
"A new ghost slave came out from the depths of the Forgotten River, and was personally salvaged by the Faceless Monster!"
There was a solid and tall soul stall owner shouting.
Suddenly, a bunch of souls gathered around, and after taking a look, they scrambled to buy it.
Some of those who bought the souls of ghost slaves, regardless of the looks from those around them, opened their mouths wide, stretched them strangely to their chests, and swallowed the newly bought ghost slaves in one gulp.
After swallowing it, he showed a satisfied smile, as if he had tasted something delicious.
Li Yuan strolled along the street, restraining the divine light on his body.
"There are still some scruples in the human world."
"The underworld is the naked truth."
In his arms, the scales glowed faintly.
The demon smiled faintly:
"The netherworld is the place where all thoughts of sentient beings converge and where filthy ghosts and evil spirits gather."
"Most of the so-called ghost slaves have their true spirits annihilated."
"Even Samsara no longer recognizes their identities, let alone these ghosts..."
"Huh......"
"and many more......"
Tian Yao paused again.
"The ghost slave in front looks familiar..."
The corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitched.
Just walking around, do you think you can meet old friends?
Is it really necessary to be so bloody?!
