Chapter 284: The Clash of Sacrifices to Gods
"Deputy leader of Jiejiao, I have long heard of your great name."
The woman who spoke softly was Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, the incarnation of the six realms of reincarnation, and her status was extremely high.
If Hongjun is the way of heaven, then this one is the way of earth. Chen Zhu did not hesitate and quickly agreed.
"Zhu Ming has long heard of the great name of the Queen Mother of the Earth, and now I finally get to see her. It is so joyful and I am so lucky!"
"Haha, Daoyou, you are too kind. Pingxin has also received a lot of kindness from Daoyou."
Even though this person has been staying in the underworld and has never come out, he is still the one with the best news in the world.
When a man is about to die, his words are good. I wonder how many true words Hou Tu has seen on the Three Lives Stone.
"Fellow Daoist Bodhi has already told me in advance, so please help me."
The goddess Hou Tu led the way for Chen Zhu and took him to see the living beings in the underworld who needed to be guided.
"Okay, okay, it's just..."
"What the hell?"
The next moment, Chen Zhu's scalp went numb, and he saw that the underworld was densely packed with endless immortal gods and spirits!
They died in that dream and were now in the underworld, unable to leave. However, Chen Zhu mistakenly underestimated how many immortals and gods there were.
You know, when it was still an ordinary world of Journey to the West, there were 365 main gods and 1,296 minor gods.
There are also a huge number of orthodox religions and three thousand mortals, which are countless, not to mention the thirty-three heavens he helped bring about later, and the vast world formed by tens of thousands of dragon balls. How many people in them can become immortals?
"My lady, I have something going on at home. Can I go back and take a look first?"
Chen Zhu's face looked grim, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
"There's no need to look at it, fellow Taoist. If you feel annoyed, Pingxin won't blame you."
The Queen Mother Hou Tu had a gentle look on her face. All the ghosts, gods and immortals in the underworld had died in their dreams. Only she, the Queen Mother of the Underworld, survived. It would take at least an endless year to sort things out now.
She was very gentle and did not force Chen Zhu. There was love for all living beings in her eyes.
If Chen Zhu was really allowed to leave, how could he possibly leave? He laughed, "Zhu Ming is joking. How can I let the queen suffer alone?"
This matter was caused by him, and he is going to clean up his mess even if he cries. Is this conscience?
Chen Zhu patted his body and said to Queen Hou Tu: "My Queen, please see what Zhu Ming is capable of."
There was a candle flame above his head, and he took out a cosmic crystal. There were countless angular mirrors on the cosmic crystal. When it shone the candle flame in the light, thousands of candle dragons appeared.
One can see the incense of the Fire God spreading, and the power of time emerging. The candle dragons reflected in these mirrors walked out of Yujing and came to this vast and endless underworld.
There are countless true spirits, and the tunnels carry them all. This method is so evil that even Hou Tu Huang Di Ji is slightly surprised.
Just because of these candle dragon figures, even she couldn't tell the real ones from the fake ones. The strength of this deputy leader might have exceeded their expectations.
Chen Zhu continued to walk out, and a cosmic crystal illuminated the underworld. It was the result of his countless efforts and sweat day and night.
At this time, he was still waiting, waiting for his master and the saints to open the connection between heaven and earth.
"Zhu Ming's spiritual awareness is a little weak, please help me take a look at it, Madam."
Chen Zhu was talking to Hou Tu, his real body was maintaining the incense and could not see the situation at the moment.
Hou Tu was stunned. She didn't expect Chen Zhu to say such a thing.
In the entire world of Journey to the West, spiritual consciousness is the most common thing. Even a cultivator who has just started practicing in the mortal world has the means to use it.
But the consciousness of the Zhulong in front of him was like a blank sheet of paper, just learning to walk.
She nodded and smiled, "You don't need my help, just look up."
look up?
Chen Zhu raised his head, and the next moment he saw six towering saints standing high in the sky.
The saints rule the world on behalf of heaven and are the spokespersons for the entire heavenly way. At this time, they all hold innate treasures and spiritual treasures in their hands, which are transformed into strings.
Chen Zhu looked up and saw Saint Nuwa lifting up the earth with one hand and slowly mending it with the other hand.
This is a road that is sewn. Every time a stitch is made, a road is connected to the heaven, the human world, and the earth.
Or watch the Bodhisattva Cundi shaking the Bodhi tree to fill the gap.
Or you may see the Saint Taiqing building a golden bridge to stabilize the earth, water, fire and wind, and to keep everything together so that it does not fall.
One saint after another mends the world and then looks into the distance.
Patriarch Bodhi stood in front of the Xiantian maple tree and raised his hands high. He saw that the Xiantian maple tree had grown to be extremely huge. The trunk was still in the human world, but the roots were deeply rooted in the underworld, and the leaves reached the heaven.
He lowered his head and shouted to Zhu Ming: "Disciple, hurry!"
Chen Zhu's heart suddenly moved, and he began to lead the true spirits in the underworld into the six realms of reincarnation.
Hou Tu Huang Di Ji then gathered the six paths together and let the roots of the tree explore the six paths. Thus, a great feat no less than the creation of the world took place.
Every deity has his own duty to contribute to the operation of this huge machine of heaven and earth.
During this process, Chen Zhu guided the true spirits to contact the tunnel in the most direct and complete way, witnessing the birth of one true spirit after another.
Some fell into the human world, some fell into heaven, it was a big reshuffle.
There are also true spirits that walk out of the six realms of reincarnation, which are themselves the ghosts and gods of the underworld, and then quickly join in the operation of the underworld.
Every true spirit sent into reincarnation by Chen Zhu turned around and bowed to Chen Zhu, expressing gratitude for his kindness, and then entered reincarnation, following the veins of the innate maple tree all the way up to the heaven.
The thirty-three outer immortal emperor heavens were reopened, the universe began to be conceived again, and the three realms of heaven, earth and man now gave birth to opportunities.
Chen Zhu suddenly realized that he was touched by this tunnel and that he could learn something from every little thing.
After who knows how many years, the Three Realms were finally established, and he saw the true spirit of the last immortal god enter the six realms of reincarnation.
"it's over?"
He has not yet come to his senses, still immersed in the understanding of the grand principles of the six realms of reincarnation.
How great was Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, that he could come up with such a great merit that benefited the heaven and earth?
Not only is the cycle of all things orderly, but it can also make up for regrets, and even reincarnation will not lose the true spirit.
Suddenly, Chen Zhu heard a Buddhist chant.
"Amitabha."
The Buddhist chanting was not loud, but extremely gentle and clear. It turned out to be the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who had just walked out, sitting cross-legged in the underworld, with perfect merits.
He once promised that he would not become a Buddha until hell was empty, and he was one of the three great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. But now hell has been emptied by saints and great supernatural beings, so Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has returned to his position and become a Buddha.
"Haha, my Buddhism is flourishing!"
Zhunti and Jie Yin Saint laughed loudly. A present Buddha Tathagata left, and a Ksitigarbha Buddha came back. It is hard to say whether this catastrophe is a blessing or a curse.
In this way, there will be another immeasurable catastrophe, and the heaven and earth will be reopened.
Chen Zhu's insights were the most profound. He nodded to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to congratulate him, and then bowed to Hou Tu Niangniang.
"Thank you, Queen Hou Tu, for your guidance."
If this person had not openly shown him the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Chen Zhu would not have been able to gain such a deep understanding.
"Daoist Zhu Ming, it's just a small matter."
Hou Tu Huang Di Ji smiled and said, "Although you didn't say it, I know you have needs."
She didn't care and turned around and walked into the cycle of reincarnation.
"If you have time someday, you can come and visit me."
Chen Zhu nodded gratefully, went back to see his master first, and then returned to the prehistoric world.
This dream disaster was a disaster for him, but also a blessing.
Now he has a deeper understanding of the means of guidance in the tomb passage and can ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"Master, I'm back."
Chen Zhu returned to Sanxing Cave and saw a Xiantian maple tree taking root there, but it was not very clear.
This innate maple tree is now so big that it connects the three realms. Naturally, it cannot be seen clearly. If you look closely, you can see that a leaf is a world.
"came back?"
Patriarch Bodhi laughed and said, "Zhu Ming, wait a moment."
Wait?
Chen Zhu was puzzled when he heard this, but he understood the next moment.
The Way of Heaven appeared, and endless merits emerged from between heaven and earth and fell down.
There are ten parts in total, six parts go to six saints, one part goes to Hou Tu Niangniang, one part goes to Bodhi Patriarch, one part goes to Xiantian Maple Tree, and one part goes to Chen Zhu!
The ten virtues stretch endlessly and transform into ten thousand acres of auspicious clouds.
Unfortunately, it was not the innate merit that Chen Zhu needed, but his heart moved. It turned out that it was the future Jinhua who had obtained this merit and would shine in the future.
This merit gave Chen Zhu an opportunity to summon his future self to take action.
It’s not like the harvest is not great.
He was overjoyed, and smiled at Patriarch Bodhi with all his merits: "Then I will go first, you take care of the new brothers and sisters."
After reincarnation, there will be at least three years of confusion in the womb, which made Bodhi Patriarch's face tense:
"Zhu Ming, wait!"
Not waiting!
Chen Zhu stepped into the river of light again, and the candlelight in the wilderness was still burning.
So much time has passed in the world of Journey to the West that, if we calculate the time, it is almost an immeasurable kalpa.
Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, hundreds of millions of years?
No, these are not references at all and can only be described as "an immeasurable kalpa".
If converted into his own prehistoric time, the daylily would probably be cold.
But Chen Zhu could not reverse the time of the prehistoric world, but he could reverse the time of the Journey to the West. He walked out of the River of Light and headed towards the prehistoric world at the time when he had just arrived.
At this time, Taichen was still staring at the lake to gain enlightenment, while the Taoist Taiping sat quietly on the ground, his whole body full of mystery. When looking at him now, Chen Zhu realized that there were too many mysteries in the Taoist Taiping.
Can't see clearly.
Especially the chaotic Qi, there were some changes, but Chen Zhu couldn't tell what the changes were.
"Candlelight."
Taoist Taiping raised his eyelids and said, "The banquets for the new gods have ended, and the gods are returning."
"Don't wait, act quickly, Taichen will soon achieve enlightenment."
Chen Zhu knew what that meant. Once Taichen achieved enlightenment, his destiny would appear.
At that time, if they fail to seize the initiative, once the luck falls on those immortal gods who have already been born, it will be extremely difficult for the resurrected innate gods to seize the luck that originally belonged to them.
Without luck, how can one attain the Oneness? How can one even talk about transcendence?
He nodded, turned and walked into the tomb passage.
The deity was taken to the tomb by the God of Dreams to be born, and when he returns he must return to his birthplace.
But as soon as he left, his mind became active. How did Taoist Taiping know?
This person must be hiding his true strength, but the Taoist Taiping was indeed newly born. How low did he push the scale bar down? How high is it now?
Walking into the tomb passage, it still seems deserted.
But tombstones kept appearing. Chen Zhu had just experienced the six reincarnations, and coming here was like a modern man entering a ape's cave.
Although it is simple, it has a different kind of ancient charm.
He sat cross-legged under a grave, looking up slightly and gazing.
Here... is the tomb of the Demon of Fear!
He has gained that bit of merit and is now qualified to sit in the innate tomb passage of the ancient times.
This tombstone is extremely huge. Even though its end and height cannot be seen, it appears to be larger than the others that also have no end.
Zhulong transformed into a human body, closed his eyes facing the tombstone, and a green robe fell down. It turned out that he was transformed from a list of green lotus leaves.
……
The gods are returning, and they discussed a lot on Wuxian Mountain.
In addition to those images of the innate gods, there are also a series of plans for the current situation of the entire prehistoric world and its future.
It also mentions an important concept, the division of realm and strength.
Unfortunately, due to disagreements, we finally gave up.
But Sishen feels that it will be soon and the division will be made soon, but he doesn't know who will propose it.
But then again, it is impossible for the innate gods to stand on high again, they will not allow it.
Even if those who survived spoke up, they were too weak to do so. How many innate gods were still alive? It was ridiculous.
While thinking, Sishen returned to the tomb passage. The environment here was far different from that of Wuxian Mountain.
This made the priest feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe he should find a new temple?
That's how it should be.
How could a noble deity live in a tomb?
After all, this is the territory of the tomb passage, and the tombs come back the fastest. His eyes lit up and he found that the tombs were not far away.
Perhaps, we can take this child away as well. Although Mu Fen has a simple mind, it is this simplicity that makes everyone like him more.
"Grave, why don't you wait for me?"
The god asked him, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Mufen’s back seemed a little shaky.
He stopped in front of a tombstone, without looking back, just silent.
There was a silence that made the gods chill.
"Grave, what's wrong with you?"
The priest frowned and walked forward, but suddenly saw blood stains on the tomb's body.
not good!
He was startled and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he saw countless tombstones overlapping and rotating, surrounding him in the center.
Looking forward, he saw a figure in green sitting cross-legged with his back to him.
The god turned around and tried to flee, but no matter how he walked, the figure was always in front of him.
The graves around him trembled more and more violently, and finally he broke free and shouted:
"Daoyou, hurry up! Danger!"
"How can I talk now?"
The God of Sacrifice looked around and said, "This is the law of space. Please join me in breaking this space and escape from here together!"
He didn't know why he was ambushed like this, but the most important thing now was to save his life!
He also met some friends at the party, so it was just right to ask them to help!
But there was fear in Mu Fen's eyes.
"Daoyou, this can't be opened."
He bombarded the tomb passage! This was the most concentrated part of the tomb passage, but it had no effect and could not shake this spinning space.
"Who are you!"
The divine light emitted by the deity was bounced off the tomb passage and quickly dissipated.
The figure with his back to him said nothing, no words, and the deathly silence seemed to drive the god crazy.
At this time, outside the tomb passage, many innate gods had also arrived and were watching Zhulong's actions quietly.
"Is this, the tree helping?"
"Most likely. That tree has the authority of the spatial law. It is between the alien objects of heaven and earth, the spiritual treasures, and the great gods, and is controlled by the gods of sacrifice."
"The god of sacrifice is really lucky. With the blockade of this spatial authority, those new gods have no time to react."
Hearing this, the great god Hongjun smiled and said, "After all, he is the high priest of the Dragon Court. Moreover, the great god Zhulong may be resurrected at some point in time, so he must have given him some guidance."
"You think it's luck? I think it's more about strength."
"Yes, it seems so."
Zhuque Zu nodded, his eyes fixed on the sacrificial god.
"It all depends on what the High Priest of the Dragon Court does."
Chen Zhu wants to kill the god.
The priest was very panicked, feeling uneasy all day long. Was this a sign of his demise?
"who are you!"
He also shouted a little crazily, and shot out the divine light of the sacrificial principles, killing the figure!
But after the divine light flew away, it slowly circled down along the human figure and landed under him.
He still did not move, but the space between heaven and earth was moving. He did not know when he had changed from facing away from the god to facing the god.
"You were born on the Great Road of Sacrifice, why can't you recognize me?"
Chen Zhu opened his mouth slowly, his eyes opening and closing on a face that could not be seen clearly, shining brightly.
A hint of sacrificial aura spread.
This shocked the God of Sacrifice. He widened his eyes and asked, "Sacrifice Dao?"
"No! Impossible! How are you still alive? Why didn't I know about it?"
"I was the one who created the Way of Sacrifice. If I don't let you know, how can you know it?"
Chen Zhu still did not stand up, and said calmly:
"Actually, I don't mind having a few more top masters in the sacrificial sect. After all, they have to bow their heads when they see me. But, God of Sacrifice, I really don't like your attitude and position."
When Chen Zhu first came, he had already learned a lot from the tomb. The attitude of the worshiper had already determined his own fate.
"This is impossible!"
The priest tried his best to operate the principles of Tao and rushed towards the figure fiercely.
But the next moment, all his methods were ineffective, and he could only surrender to Chen Zhu.
The innate god outside the tomb passage had already anticipated such a scene.
"This god of sacrifice really did fake his death, and left behind a trace of authority."
The only thing that can deal with authority is authority, and these beings can see it clearly.
When saying this, Yuan Feng couldn't help but look at Zulong again.
"It seems you still had something to hold back."
"I didn't know."
Zulong replied calmly: "Perhaps, Zhulong will have returned by then."
“It’s a pity that Daoist Candle Dragon is not coming to participate, but perhaps, Zhu Ming is Daoist Candle Dragon’s means, which is really a good calculation.”
The First Qilin chuckled, "Then the Sacrifice God has nowhere to go. The Sacrifice God is taking this opportunity to observe this new god."
Chen Zhu in the field stretched out his hand and ordered the sacrificial priest to come over, and he waved and lifted the sacrificial priest in front of him.
"You newborn babies, are you a little too arrogant?"
I was wondering why I couldn't write it. It turns out that Zhu Ming went to the underworld to earn merit.
