Chapter 400: White Phoenix Flies to Penglai
The ancient sky had long ago informed Lingxiang of what was happening on earth. Lingxiang had also long ago guessed that the current situation would occur, but she did not expect that this incident would affect her own people.
This is what is called "feeling the pain of one's skin"! When something really happens, you will understand how absurd it is.
No wonder Bo Luohui couldn't enter his magic circle; no wonder he didn't react at all when Yinghua stepped on Bo Luohui; no wonder he had followed him for so long but was not affected by the Netherworld at all.
Because he is a zombie!
Zombies have no feelings and are essentially something between the devil and the ghost, which is why they can move freely in the underworld.
Bo Luohui became a victim of the demon clan's scheme and died in the court struggle. Wu Minjun knew that he was Yuan Qing's disciple and thought that he would be useful in the future, so he went to great lengths to keep his soul in his body, turning him into a living corpse.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before Bo Luohui arrived in the underworld. Under the influence of the underworld's air, he did not become rotten and smelly like a zombie on earth. If you didn't look closely, he was no different from an ordinary person, so Ling Xiang didn't notice it at all.
During the court dispute in Manzhou, Wumin Jun saved his mother and younger brother, and helped resolve tribal disputes, allowing his mother and younger brother to have no worries. Therefore, Bo Luohui was willing to work for Wumin Jun.
Do not……
Is selling oneself...
"Hmph! As expected! He is not a good guy either!" Lingxiang glared at Wumin Jun fiercely.
But Bo Luohui is dead after all. Although he is now nourished by the energy of the Netherworld, he will turn into a corpse demon over time. If he becomes obsessed with it, he may even become a demon.
Lingxiang knew that she shouldn't condone this matter, but she really couldn't bring herself to do it.
I am not a heartless person, I am just pretending to be one. How can I be really indifferent?
"Elder Fu Cang, don't worry. I have made up my mind. When I have repaid my kindness, I will return to dust and will never be attached to this body."
It is really sad that such a good man ended up like this. Fortunately, Bo Luohui was open-minded and could even laugh and joke about it.
"It's not all bad to be like this. At least it won't hurt when I fight."
Seeing Lingxiang's sad face, Bo Luohui tried to comfort her, but these words made Lingxiang even more sad.
But now is not the time to be sad, there is still a very important thing that needs to be resolved.
Lingxiang is a half-demon as described by Wan Gu Qiong Cang, and her soul is incomplete, so she can adapt to the underworld. When Maidong entered the demon world, his consciousness was chaotic, so the aura of the underworld did not pose a threat to her.
Now Maidong's mind is clear and the three fires have returned to their positions, but his body is still very weak. If he stays in the underworld for too long, it will be easy for him to attract evil spirits, and the underworld energy will enter his body, causing him to go astray.
But the Ghost Gate collapsed, cutting off the passage to the human world. How can we send Maidong back to the human world?
When she thought of this, Lingxiang felt overwhelmed and couldn't help blaming herself: She knew that the demons would not keep their promises, but she still believed the Demon Lord's lies. She was so stupid!
At the beginning, Lingxiang and the Demon Lord agreed that no demons would be allowed to stay in the human world, but she didn't expect that the Demon Lord would destroy the Humenkou.
At that time Lingxiang understood that the culprit that caused the suffering of all living beings in the world was actually herself.
The connection between the human world and the underworld was severed, the balance of reincarnation was destroyed, life and death faded, the soul had no place to return to, and the dead could only stay in the human world, and the living would also suffer.
If this continues, transformation into a demon is inevitable!
It is true that the Demon Lord did take away all the demons, but after becoming like that, how is he any different from the demons in the human world?
Humph! When it comes to cunning, you really underestimate the Demon Lord!
Lingxiang cursed the Demon Lord secretly, but this did not solve anything. The most urgent task was to get Maidong out of the Netherworld as soon as possible.
but……
How can it be done?
Everything in the underworld originated from the goddess Hou Tu, but since the war between the wizard and the lich, the goddess Hou Tu transformed into six incarnations, and now the one who is in charge of the underworld is the Emperor Fengdu.
But even with such a big incident, the King of Fengdu didn't show up! Could it be that all the people in the Seventy-two Departments are just a bunch of good-for-nothings?
I can't ask him for help, the underworld is not that easy to enter, and even before entering the Yama Palace, the little ghosts on the road can make people lose several layers of skin. Lingxiang shook her head heavily and shook off these unrealistic thoughts.
She is just a small person who has built her foundation. She is not like Huanhua, who has a thick skin. How could she survive to go to Fengdu!
But we can't just sit there and wait for death! Lingxiang can wait, but Maidong can't!
When she was in trouble, a cry interrupted Lingxiang's meditation. She turned her head and saw Baifeng holding its head high, looking into the distance. But when she followed its gaze, there was only darkness.
There is no sky in the underworld, so what is Xiaobai looking at?
While I was wondering, I saw Bai Feng shaking his body, stretching his wings, kicking with his two claws, looking very impatient.
Seeing this, Lingxiang frowned even more tightly.
It is said in the book that the phoenix is a symbol of good fortune, noble and self-sustaining, and will remain indifferent even when facing life and death.
But why was Xiaobai so anxious? Could it be that because of the soul transformation, it was not a real phoenix?
That was really embarrassing! After all, it was Lingxiang who boasted that Xiaobai would be able to escape from the evil path in the future. What was this like now?
But in a moment, Lingxiang felt relieved.
Anyway, Xiaobai was already dead at that time, and it was only thanks to his grandfather's help that he was saved from disappearing from the world. It was a great fortune that he had this chance to survive.
Never mind, just think of it as raising a chicken. At worst, I can use some elixir to help him transform in the future.
Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Feng suddenly flapped his wings and flew towards an unknown direction without looking back.
"Hiss!" Lingxiang took a long breath.
When I advised Xiaobai to transform his soul into an egg, I said that this method was no different from reincarnation, but in fact there are some differences.
Generally speaking, after death, a person's soul returns to the underworld, where the Ten Kings of Hell judge their good and evil. The good go straight into reincarnation, while the evil suffer in hell. After they have paid for their sins, they are given a bowl of Meng Po soup, and after crossing the Naihe Bridge, they will be thrown into the wheel of reincarnation by the ghost generals.
This is reincarnation.
Rumor has it that all of this was the rule set after the Emperor of Fengdu took over the underworld, so for thousands of years, things like the ancient war between wizards and liches have never happened again.
But the matter of Xiaobai was neither reincarnation nor incarnation. To be honest, it would be better to say that it was a rebirth.
The reincarnated person has passed through the underworld, but has not yet distinguished between good and evil, and has not entered the wheel of reincarnation. It is just a simple rebirth of souls. Although they are barely born, they will be influenced by the memories of their past lives. If they meet an extremely evil person, they may cause harm to the world.
Therefore, Fengdu strictly prohibited this method, and Lingxiang took a huge risk before coming up with this idea.
If Xiaobai's soul were to be reborn into an ordinary body, once Fengdu noticed, he would definitely take measures to forcibly end his life and lure his soul to the underworld, and he might even be held guilty. But the phoenix is a divine beast, and once it is completely reborn, it will become a divine creature, and Fengdu will no longer have the right to interfere.
But all the blame for this will fall on Lingxiang. After all, she was the one who planned Xiaobai's actions, so she must bear the consequences.
Shinto?
and many more!
Lingxiang suddenly remembered something.
Yes, yes, how could I forget about this?
It is said in "Records of Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas": The phoenix is five-colored and symbolizes good fortune. The family of Yaochi will attain nirvana after seven days and return to Penglai.
Xiaobai is going to fly to Penglai!
