Chapter 239: Soul and Spirit Transformed into Demon
King Wu succeeded King Wen in destroying the Shang Dynasty. As he had no teacher yet, he appointed Shudan as his tutor. Shudan was a man of great talent and strategy, and worked hard day and night.
In the Battle of Muye, the Western Zhou Dynasty won a great victory, divided the nine states into fiefdoms, and established its capital in Haojing. However, King Wu's mandate was about to end, and although he had great ambitions for the world, he died in the middle of his life. He passed away the following year and entrusted the throne to Zhou Shudan, who was later called...
Emperor Zhou!
When the troops were approaching Chaoge, Emperor Xin knew that his luck was over, so he held a cup and laughed wildly, put precious jade on his body, climbed up to the Deer Tower, and burned himself to death.
The black bird was sent by heaven to give birth to the Shang Dynasty. Emperor Ku, the founder of the Shang Dynasty, was the great-grandson of Emperor Xuanyuan. He turned into a bird and swallowed its egg into the Yourong clan. Later, Yanbo was born and his name was Qi.
Qi assisted Emperor Yu in governing Tianshui, made outstanding contributions, and was granted the title of Shangyi, which marked the beginning of the Shang Dynasty.
Therefore, Emperor Xin was originally from the lineage of the Human Emperor.
In ancient times, humans and gods supported each other and were equal. Zhou Yingtian's order destroyed Shang and defeated King Zhou, and later he was called "Son of Heaven".
Although Emperor Xin was incompetent and cruel, he was actually a man of both civil and military talents. On the Fengshen platform, he was given the title of "Tianxi" and was in charge of marriage matters.
King Wu ascended the Deer Tower and beheaded Emperor Xin with a yellow axe, and hung the head on a white flag. Then he entered the palace and beheaded the two concubines and also hung their heads.
At that time, the concubine was pregnant. Her bloodline was from the Human Emperor. Her soul had entered the world and her spirit had taken shape. However, before she came into the world, her soul returned to the underworld.
However, he eventually became the descendant of the Human Emperor and possessed divine status, so the underworld could not take him in. He could only wander under Mount Dongyue and outside the Wangchuan River, and could not have a good end for a long time.
There was already a lot of resentment on the road to the underworld, and the ghosts fed on the accumulated resentment. Over time, it became a weather phenomenon and gave birth to strange horns and flesh.
Therefore, he opened up a city outside Wangchuan River and detained the souls of the dead who had passed by and brought them under his command. Over time, it became a world of its own and no one could do anything about it.
Now that it had flesh and blood, it had a lifespan. The soul knew this, so it abducted monsters from the mortal world and combined the two in order to prolong its existence. Thus, the demon race was born.
But demons are different from living creatures. Their ancestors were originally a gathering of resentful souls, and they had offspring because of a method that defied heaven. Therefore, although they have flesh and blood, they only have two souls and four spirits.
What is the soul? It is the three parts and seven parts of a person.
The first of the three souls is called the Heavenly Soul, Taiguang, which controls the primordial spirit and returns to heaven; the second of the three souls is called the Earthly Soul, Shuangling, which controls the yang spirit and returns to the underworld; the third of the three souls is called the Life Soul, Youjing, which controls the yin spirit and returns to the tomb.
The seven souls are Tianchong, Linghui, Qi, Li, Zhongshu, Jing and Ying, which control joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, desire and hate.
This is the soul and spirit of ordinary people, while the devil has only two souls, Shuangling and Youjing, and the spirits are different, some have no joy or anger, some have no love or desire, but no matter which one, they are powerless.
Strength and soul swallowing thieves, belonging to the heart chakra, the master of qi and heart, the master of fear. Therefore, the demons are good at fighting because they are fearless.
Precisely because their spirits are deficient, the demons will always display one or two of the seven emotions, such as being moody, or insatiable and treacherous.
……
The gods had no other choice at the time, but they could not ignore the people, so they sent Zhou to attack Shang on the pretext of conferring the gods.
The demons are the descendants of the human king, and those who slay demons can only be human!
Looking at the gradually disappearing figure, Fairy Yao Ji couldn't help but sigh: Lingxiang, the road ahead is full of twists and turns. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
"Since you are reluctant to let her go, why don't you keep her?" Yun Zhongjun also stared into the water mirror.
Fairy Yao Ji shook her head, and after a long while she said, "It is hard to keep people's hearts. This is inevitable, and this difficulty is inevitable. Once you get out of this water mirror, the disaster will begin. I just hope these children can survive it safely."
The evil beast on the side was very puzzled. Fairy Yao Ji was not a sentimental person, so why was she so concerned about that little girl? She was also like this when Tu Mi came before.
Yes, yes! She remembered!
Tumi is from the lineage of Yuwang, and Yuwang is the grandson of Shennong Yun. Although Fairy Yao Ji has attained enlightenment, she was the daughter of old man Shennong when she was alive. In this way, they are still a family!
The evil beast suddenly realized what was going on. It was no wonder that Fairy Yao Ji was so protective of Tumi and the little girl, and even sent him away twice.
Humph! It is true that if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door!
……
After Yinghua left, Bai Wuchang glanced at the embarrassed Hui Wu and smiled with an ambiguous smile. "So, what should I do with you?"
The tone sounded helpless, like a loving father who couldn't do anything about his child. But Hui Wu shuddered when he heard it.
After following Bai Wuchang for these days, Hui Wu knew his temper very well. The more Bai Wuchang looked calm and indifferent, the more furious he was actually.
"Messenger! Messenger!" Hui Wu hurriedly knelt down and crawled to Bai Wuchang's feet, "Messenger, please give me another chance!" He then kowtowed.
Listening to Hui Wu's constant pleading at his feet, Bai Wuchang folded his fan and began to fan leisurely.
"Oh? You want a chance? But how can you repay me?"
This really stumped Hui Wu. According to his understanding, if it wasn't beneficial to Bai Wuchang, he would show no mercy.
But what can I give him?
Hui Wu panicked for a moment. He really didn't know how Bai Wuchang could use him.
The reason why I decided to become a demon was that I no longer wanted to suffer injustice and be inferior to others. But now it seems that I am still being trampled under someone's feet and I can't even decide my own life.
And what was he wrong?!
No! I can't die like this!
"Messenger! Messenger!" Hui Wu begged, pulling at the hem of Bai Wuchang's robe. "Please spare my life. I will definitely be able to help the Messenger. I am willing to sacrifice my life for the Messenger, even if it means death! Messenger! Messenger!"
Just as Hui Wu was begging desperately and panicking, a black figure suddenly appeared behind him. Hui Wu was already terrified, and was almost frightened to death by the sudden attack. He collapsed on the ground and couldn't speak for a long time. But Bai Wuchang seemed to be used to it, and just shook his folding fan and said lightly:
"Why did General Wolf Head come here at this time?"
The wolf-headed general simply bowed and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "The Demon Lord received the letter and specially ordered me to come and help."
Bai Wuchang sneered when he heard this: "It's just a small matter, do you really need the general to intervene?"
He glanced at the embarrassed Hui Wu and hesitated for a long time before speaking again: "Well, I will give you another chance. Please don't let me down again!"
Upon hearing this, Hui Wu stood up and kowtowed as if a drowning man had grabbed a straw, saying "Thank you very much, messenger... Thank you very much, messenger... I will definitely..."
But the words got stuck in my mouth.
Bai Wuchang just raised his hand and Hui Wu was suspended in the air. Then Bai Wuchang stretched out a finger and Hui Wu's chest was pierced.
Before Hui Wu's face was filled with astonishment, a drop of blood was ejected into the hole in her chest. He immediately felt a burning chaos in his body.
This feels familiar!
This time, however, Hui Wu did not turn into a stone sculpture, but his body continued to expand and change.
Suddenly, the body seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and exploded violently, blood splattered everywhere, and the surrounding plants stained with the devil's blood all withered and died.
Hui Wu took on a demonic appearance, with four wings growing from his spine, feet like an eagle, claws like a tiger, a yellow face and green eyes. Even the broken horn on his forehead looked terrifying.
The monster-like Hui Wu let out bursts of roars, which seemed to be in pain and also like a threat. The birds in the forest were startled and the beasts hid away.
Faced with such a scene, Bai Wuchang fanned himself calmly.
"I think General Wolf Head must be very familiar with this!"
But Wolf Head did not answer, but looked as if it had nothing to do with him, as if what he was doing was just as ordinary as his three meals a day.
At this moment, Hui Wu's black feathers began to fall off, igniting black flames in midair and drifting away with the wind, which was extremely strange. Then, scales stained with devil's blood emerged from Hui Wu's body, making a creaking sound like a sharp blade.
After a long time, the dust settled.
Hui Wu felt as if he was being burned by the fire of purgatory, and he lay on the ground gasping for breath.
But this pitiful appearance did not move Bai Wuchang. He just waved his folding fan and said calmly: "If you disappoint me again, I will make you suffer from this demonic transformation every moment of your life."
Hui Wu raised his head upon hearing this. Although he had turned back into a human, his face was covered with dark scales, like a poisonous snake...
