Chapter 524 The kind-hearted King Yama!
"Let the past be the past forever. Now I just want to become an immortal." Xuan Xiao closed his eyes. A sadness passed through his heart, but he had already let go of the past.
People are gone, old friends have faded, and true friends are hard to find. This is what life is like.
Only the Way of Heaven exists eternally, repeating itself over and over again, never changing.
The love, hate, and vengeance that mortals are obsessed with are nothing but fleeting glimpses. Only by keeping the great way in mind and pursuing the boundless realm of true immortality can one achieve what the heart desires.
In the past, Xuan Xiao still missed Su Yu in his heart.
At this moment, Xuan Xiao had a great enlightenment and only thought about becoming an immortal.
"Brother, I feel like you have truly let it go, which is great. I wish you immortality." Yun Tianqing said with a smile, "After being stuck in the ghost world for so long, I can finally be reincarnated with peace of mind."
"Dad! Don't go." Although Yun Tianhe was ignorant, he subconsciously knew that even if his father went to the underworld, they would never see each other again.
"Tianhe, don't be sad. You have your life, and I have my future life. Our fate in this life has come to an end. I believe you can take care of yourself." Yun Tianqing smiled slightly, "I'm going to Naihe Bridge."
After saying this, Yun Tianqing disappeared.
In order to wait for Xuan Xiao, Yun Tianqing has been waiting in the ghost world for more than ten years.
Now that his wish has been fulfilled, Yun Tianqing has no obsession with becoming an immortal. Rather than becoming an immortal, he would rather start a whole new life like Su Yu.
Let all the things from the past life disappear into thin air along with the forgotten bowl of Meng Po soup!
Yun Tianhe felt lost.
Murong Fu said: "This is why we seek immortality! Wu Zhao wrote an article called "How to be Brahma": How to obtain longevity and an indestructible body. And what is the cause and condition to obtain great firmness. Birth, aging, sickness and death are always unavoidable. Only by becoming an immortal can one have an indestructible body and be immortal for all time. Only then can one have great firmness and forever protect everything one loves."
This is exactly why Murong Fu wants to pursue eternal freedom.
Only by truly transcending can you keep everything you want.
Everyone was silent.
Suddenly, the rotating mirror platform burst into light, and obvious fluctuations of spiritual power appeared.
A voice called out:
"Run! You've been discovered!"
"It would be terrible if we got caught!"
"If you don't retreat now, you won't have a chance!"
There were three voices, chirping, and then three very cute birds flew in front of the crowd, urging them to leave.
These three birds are called "Feng, Ya, and Song". One is named Feng, one is named Ya, and one is named Song.
Put together, they form "Feng, Ya, Song", which is the Book of Songs.
Murong Fu knew these three birds.
These three birds are also ghosts, but they don’t have any proper jobs in the ghost world and are just drifters.
Feng Yasong should have been commissioned by the ghost messenger Ren Kui to come and tip off.
This ghost messenger Ren Kui is an old acquaintance of Lian Bao. He saw how Murong Fu and others helped Lian Bao, so he was willing to help.
In the original novel, Yun Tianhe and others were talking with Yun Tianqing in front of the revolving mirror, which also alarmed the ghost world. It was the three birds Feng Yasong who tipped off, the ghost messenger Ren Kui led the way, and Han Beikuang, who was doing hard labor, took the protagonists away from the ghost world.
However, Murong Fu's strength is earth-shattering, and he is not afraid of the ghost world and can definitely fight it head-on.
His goal was to change the Book of Life and Death, and he had already made up his mind to destroy the ghost world.
Fuxi cares about the order of the six realms, but Murong Fu is not Fuxi. As a rebellious person, Murong Fu understands that chaos is the ladder to ascension.
"Don't be afraid!" Murong Fu said, "Thank you for tipping me off. It allowed me to pull out the person behind this!"
Murong Fu said this and pulled the rotating mirror.
With abundant spiritual power, he wrestled with the person operating the rotating mirror. The opponent's strength was unfathomable, but Murong Fu used the way of human immortality to perform the Dou Zhuan Xing Shift and Qian Kun Da Shift on himself in succession, and with a little effort he eliminated the opponent's strength silently.
Even so, Murong Fu still felt it was not enough, so he used the power of man and sword to become one, and combined strength with the magic sword. He stretched his big hand into the rotating mirror and pulled!
boom!
With a flash of brilliant light, a judge in red was forcibly pulled out from the rotating mirror by Murong Fu.
"The King of Hell is quite strong!" Murong Fu commented.
"Ah! This mortal is so powerful that he even dragged Lu Pan out!" Feng Niao shouted, "What should we do? We tipped off Lu Pan and he found out!"
Ya Niao said: "Not only that, we also saw Lu Pan making a fool of himself!"
The bird sang: "I am dying, I am dying, I am dying"
Murong Fu turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, I will plead for you."
After saying this, Murong Fu looked at Judge Lu.
Judge Lu smiled bitterly, stood up, straightened his appearance, and bowed to Murong Fu, saying, "I am Judge Lu, honored to meet the Immortal. Your presence is a great honor to our ghost world. The King of Hell has learned that the Immortal is here, so he invites you!"
Murong Fu said: "Lead the way!"
"Yes!"
Lu Pan was completely humble and respectful, leading the way for Murong Fu and others, not daring to show any disrespect.
Others may not know, but Lu Pan knows what the wrestling just now was about.
It was Murong Fu who wrestled with King Yama, and King Yama was defeated by Murong Fu.
Although this does not represent a real battle, King Yama had previously noticed the movements of Mount Buzhou and viewed the battle scene with a revolving mirror.
Murong Fu defeated the dragon that held the candle in its mouth, and he was the reincarnation of the divine general Fei Peng.
The King of Hell did not want to repeat the fate of the Dragon that holds the Candle in its Mouth, so he was beaten by Murong Fu.
Being able to defeat the Candle-Bearing Dragon shows that Murong Fu’s power exceeds that of ordinary gods and demons.
King Yama and the Candle-Bearing Dragon are on the same level. If they really fight, they cannot defeat Murong Fu.
The reincarnation of the divine general Fei Peng shows that Murong Fu has a noble status. He was the number one divine general in his previous life. Many gods in the divine world now, even the divine general Xuanyuan, once served under Fei Peng.
This network of connections is daunting just thinking about it.
Therefore, Lu Pan respectfully called Murong Fu the Supreme Immortal.
It is impossible for ordinary immortals to gain such respect in the ghost world.
"Master, are we really going to the King of Hell?" Han Lingsha felt a little guilty.
When mortals talk about going to the King of Hell, it means almost the same thing as death.
"Are you scared?" Murong Fu said with a smile.
"I'm not afraid as long as you are here, Master!" said Han Lingsha.
Murong Fu said: "Don't be afraid, the King of Hell is a very friendly person."
"Friendly?" Liu Mengli was very surprised. "I have only heard of the King of Hell ordering people to die at three o'clock in the morning. Who dares to stay until five o'clock in the morning?"
Murong Fu said: "As long as your fist is hard enough, everyone in this world will be friendly to you. The King of Hell's temper is with ordinary people, but he dare not lose his temper with me." Lu Pan said nothing, silence is golden.
Hall of Impermanence.
The ghost kings guarding the Hall of Impermanence are all powerful ones, including the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Ghosts, and the Black and White Impermanence, making this place full of spooky and terrifying atmosphere.
But Murong Fu didn't care at all and entered the Hall of Impermanence.
In the center of the Hall of Impermanence sat King Yama.
But the King of Hell was tall, about four or five meters tall, much taller than the judge, the little devil, the Black and White Impermanence, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Devil around him, and he was obviously a big leader.
When depicting figures in Chinese paintings, the big figures are painted huge, and the small figures are painted very small. This is actually the traditional aesthetic of China.
Therefore, the painting style of the Hall of Impermanence is similar to that of traditional Chinese paintings, in which King Yama is very big, the Judge is relatively small, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons are even smaller.
Murong Fu looked over and saw that King Yama was wearing a black jade crown with twelve tassels, and each bead curtain was engraved with reincarnation symbols, which echoed in the netherworld when shaking. He was wearing a black dragon robe with golden embroidery, and the hem of the robe was surging like the waves of the night sea. He had a nine-heavenly cold iron belt around his waist and a jade pendant with the "life and death yin and yang fish".
In his left hand he holds a jade sceptre transformed from a "mirror of sins", the mirror reflecting the sins of the deceased soul in his previous life; in his right hand he holds a cinnabar pen, the tip of which glows with blood, which can cross out the names in the book of life and death.
The man had a black beard and a long mustache that hung down to his chest, with a hint of silver in his hair.
His face was like iron, his skin was dark blue, his brow bones were as high as a dangerous peak, his eyes were as deep as an abyss, his mouth was tightly pursed as if carved by a knife, his nasolabial lines were as deep as ravines, and there was a red vertical mark between his eyebrows.
There seemed to be a karmic fire burning in his pupils, and with just a glance he could see through life and death, good and evil.
Therefore, he is majestic without being angry, which is exactly the demeanor of a god.
There is a poem as evidence:
The Nine Netherworld is in charge of reincarnation, with an iron face, green beard and black armor hanging down.
The mirror of sin reflects good and evil, and the judge's pen strikes like thunder.
The fire of karma burns the body, and the lotus serves as a seat; the cold eyes are like lightning, captivating the soul and causing sorrow.
The Ten Palaces strictly distribute rewards and punishments, and yin and yang will never conflict again.
This majesty did not scare Murong Fu, who simply bowed and said, "Kunlun Qionghua Sect's sword-wielding elder Murong Fu greets the Lord of the Netherworld."
“Haha, Immortal Ziyin, I have heard of your great name for a long time.” King Yama was originally very imposing, but at this moment he suddenly smiled, his body returned to normal, and he stood up to greet him, “When Immortal Ziyin became an immortal, the six realms were paying close attention, and I also got a glimpse of him. Now that Immortal Ziyin has come to visit, I feel deeply honored, deeply honored!”
"Please take a seat!"
King Yama said this and waved his hand. Flames billowed and formed several thrones.
Murong Fu sat on it without hesitation and asked everyone to sit on it as well.
King Yama said, "Bring tea!"
At that moment, Lu Pan personally served tea to Murong Fu and others.
These cups of tea, with flower petals steeped in them, have a fragrant aroma and are full of spiritual energy.
"In the underworld, there are red spider lilies. Tea made from red spider lilies has a unique flavor. This is a specialty of my underworld, and you must try it." King Yama said, "This is the best tea in my underworld."
Murong Fu took a sip and said with a smile, "This is most beneficial to ghost cultivators. For living people like us, it just tastes strange. It seems to contain all the bitterness and pain of the world, but it also has benefits. Interesting."
King Yama said: "As long as Immortal Ziyin likes it."
Murong Fu said: "King Yan, you keep calling me immortal, which is a bit too distant. I heard that King Yan also cultivated to become an immortal, and then became a god. Since we are all cultivators, how about calling each other fellow Taoists?"
"Okay." King Yama smiled and said, "We are indeed fellow Taoists. Maybe we have some fate."
Murong Fu asked: "Where did this fate come from?"
King Yama said, "I am the best at smelling auras. You have the aura of Nuwa on you, my friend. I am also a human created by Nuwa. When Nuwa created humans, I saw Nuwa. At that time, the human race was weak, and I was protected by Nuwa. I am grateful to Nuwa for her kindness."
Wow, this King Yama was actually the first group of humans created by Nuwa herself.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not far-fetched.
Most of the old gods in the divine world were created by Fuxi himself.
Later, Fuxi became lazy and disliked the inefficiency of creating gods with his own hands, so he used the sacred tree to create gods instead.
Similarly, among the human and animal races, many were created by Nuwa and Shennong themselves.
However, the human race has a short lifespan, and the people created by Nuwa will eventually die if they do not become immortals or gods.
"Fellow Daoist, you actually have such a background. Judging from your attire, you are wearing a royal crown. Could you also be an ancient holy king of the human race?" Murong Fu asked.
The attire of gods is also very particular. King Yama wears a royal crown and has such a good background. I'm afraid his status among humans was not low back then.
"I was the first person to drill wood to make fire. Later, I was named Suiren. People and my descendants call me Suirenshi." King Yama said, "We ancient humans were weak. Thanks to the guidance of Nuwa, I was able to cultivate and become an immortal, and then a god. Thinking about it carefully, that was tens of thousands of years ago."
"My fellow Daoist is Suiren. I am so sorry." Murong Fu said, "I have also received some favors from Nuwa, so I have the aura of Nuwa. You and I are both human, so it can be considered a fate."
King Yama said: "You were once a god, so you have the spirit of Fuxi. I am also a god now. This is another fate between us."
Murong Fu's heart moved.
King Yama obviously also believed that he was Fei Peng's reincarnation, which at least proved one thing, that Fei Peng's soul was not in the ghost world. It was unknown whether Fei Peng had already been reincarnated or if Fei Peng had another secret.
"Then we are really destined to be together." Murong Fu said, "I think you will not refuse what I ask for."
King Yama said, "I wonder what you are seeking in the ghost world, my friend?"
Murong Fu said: "First, I hope to discuss the way of ghosts with you, fellow Taoist. I want to become the five immortals of heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts. Now that the way of human immortals is complete, I still lack the way of gods, ghosts, earth and heaven. Among them, the way of ghosts is naturally the most appropriate for me to discuss in the ghost world."
King Yama said: "My fellow Taoist is very magnanimous. However, if you want to discuss the Dao, I will naturally be happy to accompany you."
Murong Fu said, "Another matter is about my disciple." Murong Fu pointed at Han Lingsha and continued, "My disciple's family has been robbing tombs for generations, which has damaged their virtues. As a result, the Han family has short lives for generations, and they will also serve hard labor after entering the ghost world. I wonder if you can be flexible and use your personal relationship?"
"This..." King Yama hesitated, thinking to himself: The Dragon Holding the Candle deliberately concealed this person's breath, hoping that I would be beaten by him and make me repeat the same mistake. Of course, I am not that stupid. This person is extremely powerful. Even the Dragon Holding the Candle was almost killed by him. He has great magical powers. He is worthy of being the divine general Fei Peng who challenged the Demon Lord Chonglou. If I don't agree to him, I am afraid that I will be insulted by him, and the ghost world will be shaken, which will be detrimental to the order of the six realms. For the sake of the overall situation, I should agree to him and report to the God Realm afterwards to see how His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven will deal with it.
Thinking of this, King Yama said, "This is originally inappropriate, but fellow Taoist and I are destined to be together, so for your sake, I will do you this favor. I will first add back the life span that was deducted from the Han family in the Book of Life and Death."
As he spoke, King Yama opened the Book of Life and Death. A light flickered on the book, and soon a page of the Han family appeared. King Yama waved the judge's pen and began to restore the lifespan of everyone in the Han family.
Soon, the lifespan of everyone in the Han family returned to normal.
This fate that cannot be changed by mortals is indeed a matter of a thought for gods and demons.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist." Murong Fu said with a smile, "Lingsha, I said that King Yama is a reasonable person. Why don't you thank King Yama?"
"I am Han Lingsha, thank you very much, King Yama!" Han Lingsha was overjoyed, but she only thanked King Yama verbally. The person she was truly grateful to in her heart was her master Murong Fu.
She also understood that King Yama was not an easy person to talk to, and the reason why he became easy to talk to was because of the pressure from his master Murong Fu.
Han Lingsha is smart and will not be grateful to the wrong person.
