Five hundred and twentieth chapters King Zhengrong
The figure that appeared on the stone wall at some unknown time seemed to be a man wearing a hat. The shadow of the other party was right next to his shadow.
It seemed that the owner of the shadow was behind him, very close to him, and seemed to be looking at him condescendingly.
Jiang Yao did not look back rashly.
He didn't know how the other party appeared behind him silently.
In this forbidden land, the only ones who can do this seem to be indigenous ghosts.
Jiang Yao pretended to still be thinking, but slowly touched the handle of the gun with his left hand.
After touching the pistol, Jiang Yao turned around suddenly, pointed the pistol back, and was about to pull the trigger.
It sounds simple, but Jiang Yao's whole set of actions is extremely fast, like lightning.
However, there was nothing behind him.
Jiang Yao looked back at the stone wall again and found that the hat-wearing shadow on the stone wall had also disappeared.
"Ajiu, did you see anything just now?" Jiang Yao asked with a frown, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Ah Jiu murmured, "I didn't see it. I just saw the shadow on the stone wall."
Jiang Yao stood up and looked around in the half-collapsed tomb hall, his expression a little solemn.
"Ajiu, I feel that the figure in the hat just now is a bit familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere." Jiang Yao said.
He was sure that the man wearing the hat had appeared in his memory before.
Jiang Yao no longer thought about the oracles left by Yi Guizang, but walked towards the place of collapse.
Pushing aside the sand, scenes of ancient murals from the early Tang Dynasty suddenly appeared.
On top of the mural is a green bull. This green bull is kneeling in front of an imposing nobleman, who is none other than Li Luoshu.
The green cow appears most often in the murals, and the second most frequently seen one is a man in green clothes wearing a hat.
The man in Tsing Yi wearing a hat is tall, has rough features, and wears a tall and big hat. He looks very powerful, like a fierce general.
In the murals, the man is sometimes having a banquet in the mansion, and sometimes he is saluting the aloof Li Luoshu in the palace.
When Jiang Yao saw the man wearing a hat, he understood immediately.
Isn't the man in this mural the King Zhengrong himself?
Yes, Qing Niu is a great king, and this man is also a great king.
However, one is the original form of the green bull monster, and the other is the transformed human body. Just like Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu can be a snake body or a human body.
Yang Xuanming also knew King Zhengrong. He was not an ordinary green bull, but the god Si. He came from Shouyang Mountain in the sky and was actually an ancient and noble rhinoceros.
"The shadow on the stone wall before was the shadow of King Zhengrong." Jiang Yao said to Ah Jiu, "He has been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, why can he still appear?"
Even if it is ginger medicine, my heart is going crazy at this time.
When he was studying Yi Guizang's inscriptions in the tomb hall of the tomb owner, the tomb owner was standing behind him?
The problem is, the tomb owner has been dead for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Could it be his ghost?" Ah Jiu said, "It shouldn't be possible in this forbidden land. He has been dead for so long. Even if he turned into a ghost cultivator, he would have been annihilated long ago."
Jiang Yao muttered: "If others can't do it, he may not be able to do it."
"The Shensi clan used to be the guardian beasts of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Tower, because Shensi's rhinoceros horn has the magical power to sense Yin spirits and can read the thoughts of Yin spirits."
"King Zhengrong is also a god. He can be said to be a great demon that communicates yin and yang. When Li Luoshu conquered the world of reincarnation, he relied on his horns to break through the gate of reincarnation."
"Since then, there has only been a yang realm between heaven and earth, and no yin realm. But the foundation of heaven and earth was originally yin, not yang."
That's right, heaven and earth are noble and soft, hiding the Tao and Yin. All things are born in Xuanfei and return to Yin. Therefore, Yin is the foundation, and Yang is the expression and process.
"Why was Tang Ting able to completely control the realm of reincarnation and take away the Six Paths of Reincarnation Tower? It was because of this majestic king who could communicate between the Yin and Yang Realms."
Ah Jiu said: "I understand. No wonder he can be crowned king. With such great achievements, he is indeed qualified to be crowned king."
Jiang Yao nodded, "Yang Xuanming's war pet, the Nine-Headed Yuanhui, was only granted the title of Kui Tianjun or Marquis. But Li Luoshu's Qingniu was actually granted the title of king. Is it because Yang Xuanming is stingier than Li Luoshu?"
"Of course not. There are only a few kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty, and they were only granted the title to appease the other three clans. Why does Qing Niu become the king? It is because of his contribution to suppressing the underworld."
"After the underworld was suppressed, the power of reincarnation was controlled by the imperial court. The human emperor's power reached its extreme, and he had no control over everything within the three realms and the five elements."
"It can be said that Li Luoshu, Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty, was the most powerful among the human emperors of the past dynasties. Since the beginning of time, no human emperor has had more power than him."
"Think about it, he has completely abolished the autonomy of the underworld. How much karma will this cause?"
"Great King Zhengrong, how much karma has he been contaminated with? Both of these masters and servants will be affected by the karma of heaven."
"So, the ghost of King Zhengrong may not be annihilated by the power of cause and effect, but may be preserved to this day. His ghost is trapped here, probably for hundreds of thousands of years."
"Why is Ghost Emperor Jinhui immortal? It's because she practices the Six Paths of Cause and Effect and is the incarnation of reincarnation."
"The way of cause and effect is the subtle way of heaven. It is most mysterious and unpredictable. Even the immortals cannot decipher it. It all depends on fate."
Ah Jiu is a little strange, why does the master say so much?
She knows these truths herself.
But soon, she understood.
Sure enough, an eerie voice sounded: "It seems that you have some background. You actually know that I have been trapped here for hundreds of thousands of years."
As the voice sounded, a tall shadow appeared next to the cow skeleton.
This tall phantom was wearing a hat and had a rough face. It was the big green bull demon that Jiang Yao had seen in his previous life.
To be precise, this is the ghost of King Zhengrong, a ghost.
Jiang Yao was not afraid, "I guessed it right, you did show up."
He said so much just to induce the other party to show up.
"I know that what you said just now is just to attract me to appear. Then I will do what you want." King Zhengrong said.
"You took away Gu's Fairy Demon Crystal, and Gu can no longer exist."
Jiang Yao took out the Fairy Demon Crystal from his pocket, "So, you want to take it back?"
"On the contrary." King Zhengrong said calmly.
"It's so lonely, so lonely. Chang'an has turned into a desert, the Tang Dynasty has been destroyed for a long time, all the old friends have perished, and even the supreme master has disappeared."
"Gu should not have existed for so long. Unfortunately, Gu's residual thoughts turned into ghosts and survived for hundreds of thousands of years. This may be the price Gu paid for stepping through the door of reincarnation."
Many times, "immortality" is also a huge torture.
"Do you want Nirvana?" Jiang Yao nodded, "Do you regret helping Li Luoshu suppress the world of reincarnation, destroy the underworld, and imprison the Ghost Emperor?"
"Regret?" King Zhengrong's breath was cold, "I never do anything I regret. Huh, do you think it is wrong for the master to suppress the underworld and imprison the Ghost Emperor?"
"Do you think that the master only took away the Six Paths of Reincarnation Tower because he was greedy for power in the world of reincarnation? You are so wrong."
"The master is the Great Ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, a generation of holy masters, what a hero he is? Yang Xuanming was so powerful back then, and yet he was destroyed by his master. This shows what kind of existence his master is."
"For a person like this, every major matter is done with foresight. How can he act haphazardly and regardless of the consequences?"
Jiang Yao handed over his hand, "Then I need to ask for advice. Why did Tang Taizu want to completely control the world of reincarnation? That should be controlled by the ghost clan. This is also the natural rule of the great road of heaven and earth."
"Why?" King Zhengrong sneered, "Since you have an origin, do you know about the Xuanfei Gate?"
"I know." Jiang Yao nodded, "What does this have to do with the Xuanmen Gate?"
"Of course there is." King Zhengrong's tone became even more gloomy, "Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, there has been a problem in the Lunhun Realm. Unfortunately, Yang Xuanming has been on expeditions in the far north all year round, often not returning for a hundred years, and he doesn't care about this matter at all."
"Queen Luo Mei, who was in Chang'an at the time, even negotiated with the ghost master Jin Hui once, but they broke up unhappy."
"It is said that Luo Yi is willing to recognize Jinhui's status as Ghost Emperor, on the condition that Jinhui must stop returning Yin spirits to Xuanmen's Gate."
"Jin Hui rejected the Queen. Before the Queen had time to deal with the matter, the master revolted against the Sui Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty was established, the master took over the matter."
Stop returning Yin spirits to the Xuan Ni Gate?
Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat, as if she understood something.
After the yang life of a living being ends, the living soul dissipates, the consciousness is annihilated, and then enters the reincarnation of the underworld. In this way, a cycle and balance are formed between yin and yang.
However, the ghosts in the underworld sometimes do not reincarnate into the yang realm, but return to the Xuanfei Gate.
It is the door where the soul returns to its original state, where life consciousness was first born.
This is what Taoist scriptures say about "returning to nothingness."
The number of creatures in the Yin and Yang worlds was originally relatively balanced, and they also reincarnated and transformed into each other. The only difference is that, except for a very small number of creatures, other creatures will lose their past life memories after reincarnation.
The law of reincarnation is the way of nature. It does not require intervention. The so-called control actually means ensuring "not to be interfered with."
The earliest consciousness of life was born from the gate of Xuan Ni when chaos first opened. Xuan Ni generates one qi, one qi transforms into the three pure things, and the three pure things give rise to all things.
The Gate of Xuan Ni can be called the mother of all living beings and the abyss of consciousness.
But what if the ghosts waiting for reincarnation in the Reincarnation Realm are not reincarnated back to the Yang Realm, but return to the Xuanfei Gate?
Then, the number of creatures in the two worlds will decrease, and the population will become smaller and smaller.
Theoretically, in the end all life consciousness will return to the "Xuanfei Gate" where consciousness was originally born.
There is no more life in the world, everything needs to start from scratch.
"Why did Jin Hui return his soul to the Xuan Ni Gate? This is an act of reincarnation." Jiang Yao was puzzled, "Isn't she destroying her own foundation?"
Return all the Yin spirits in the Yin world to the Xuan Ni Gate, and the Yin world will be empty. Without the reincarnation of Yin spirits, the Yang world will become desolate, just like water without a source.
What benefits does it bring to Jin Hui to do this?
King Zhengrong said: "She colluded with others, intending to prove the Tao and become a god. She believed in the legends from ancient times, and wanted to become a god that surpassed the immortals by sacrificing to the underworld and returning to the great catastrophe of things."
"They are a group. She is just one of them. This group of people believe that earth immortals are not real immortals. Real immortals should be gods with divine status, rulers and masters."
Sacrifice to the underworld, prove the Tao and become a god?
When Jiang Yao heard this, he felt bad.
What kind of person is a ghost master? He wants to sacrifice the underworld in exchange for a god? How is this different from sacrificing the immortal world? Is sacrificing the underworld part of the plan to sacrifice the immortal world?
If this is the case, then it is no wonder that Li Luoshu wanted to suppress the underworld, imprison the Ghost Emperor, and rob the Wheel Soul Tower.
You can't just watch Jin Hui send all the Yin spirits into the Xuan Ni Gate, right?
"Who are these people?" Jiang Yao asked in a calm voice.
"I don't know, even the master didn't know who it was. After Jin Hui was suppressed and imprisoned, the master tortured her, but nothing could be found out."
"Her karma is too great, and she has inherited the Heavenly Soul of the Six-Fingered Immortal and achieved immortality. The master has nothing to do with her except imprisoning her."
"Huh, even if the master can't get the answer, then this matter can only be kept top secret and will never be announced."
"That group is extremely well hidden, and their number will never be large, but their plots and ambitions are extremely terrifying."
"Even the master once said with great worry that when the Tang Dynasty declines in the future, the fairy world may be destroyed in the hands of this group of people. But apart from imprisoning Jin Hui, the master can't do anything."
When Jiang Yao heard this, she felt like a big mountain was weighing on her heart.
Did the ghost master lie to him?
Even the powerful Li Luoshu failed to catch this group of people, so who else can catch them?
King Zhengrong continued: "The master also said that this group of people will not lie dormant forever. One day, they will slowly emerge. But he can't wait for that day."
"The Immortal Ghost Emperor is just one of the members, but he is definitely not the leader. You can imagine how strong this group of people is. They are not afraid of anything except the power of luck and cause and effect."
"The only thing that can control this group of people is royal luck and the power of cause and effect. The prerequisite is that we also need to know who they are."
"Of course, Gu died before his master. When Gu died, his master still had more than a thousand years to live, so Gu has no idea what happened during these more than a thousand years."
"Perhaps the master has discovered something else during these more than a thousand years. I don't know."
Jiang Yao smiled, "You said that, aren't you afraid that I will enter the tomb of Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty to search for clues? That is your master's tomb."
King Zhengrong sighed: "The master's tomb has been stolen a long time ago. It has been stolen more than once."
"Fortunately, the master's cultivation is extremely high. He must have become an immortal after his death. There cannot be a body in the mausoleum, it can only be a tomb."
"In that case, what if you enter?"
Jiang Yao nodded, "You probably have something for me to do, so tell me."
King Zhengrong said: "If master knew that Chang'an would become like this, he would definitely be heartbroken. I hope you can find a way to change everything."
"You are definitely not human. There may be a glimmer of hope."
"If possible, I hope you will rebuild Gaoling and re-arrange the formation."
"Finally, please let Gu Gu return to silence. I don't want to retain consciousness anymore."
Jiang Yao thought for a while, "Okay, I promise to do my best." He cut his finger with a knife and dripped blood onto the fairy crystal.
Of course, Jiang Yao's blood is not ordinary blood, it carries the powerful power of the bright yang. As soon as the blood seeps into the demon crystal, the shadow of the majestic king slowly fades away.
"My lord, if there is an afterlife, I will still serve my lord..." Qing Niu's voice was faint and finally dissipated.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Ah Jiu couldn't help crying, she thought of her old master.
"Ajiu, let's go to the tomb of Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty again." Jiang Yao said, "Yi Guizang must have been there too. He may have left some other inscriptions or clues."
After reading Yi Guizang's oracles and listening to Qing Niu's words, Jiang Yao felt that he was one step closer to the truth of history.
He was also a little sad.
Unexpectedly, Ghost Master Jin Hui turned out to be...will his filial piety be paid in the wrong way?
She seemed to be lying when she said she didn't know who those people were. Jiang Yao would rather believe Qing Niu's words than the ghost master's.
Nonsense!
Qingniu didn't know that he knew Jinhui, and there was no need to make up these words. So the most likely thing is that Jinhui did belong to that group!
The question is, what is her purpose of deceiving herself and helping herself?
Also, the woman pretending to be Yu Yan seemed to be helping him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Shizhen also helped me.
The more Jiang Yao thought about it, the weirder he felt.
wrong!
If Jin Hui was really with them, then after Li Tang's demise, why didn't they rescue Jin Hui from prison? Why did they let her continue to be imprisoned by the Jiuding Seal for how many thousands of years?
Jinhui only gained freedom more than ten years ago.
Is this logical?
Could it be that Jin Hui was once with them, but later fell out with them and no longer belonged to them?
At least Jinhui's relationship with them now doesn't look like they are a gang.
Things became confusing again in his eyes.
One person and one snake left the Green Bull Tomb and came to the majestic Gaoling.
Sure enough, the entrance to the tomb passage had been opened long ago, and several bones fell inside the tomb passage.
This tomb passage is extremely deep and extends downward. Along the way into the tomb passage, corpses are found from time to time.
Of course, these bones are all "archaeologists". They must have been very powerful during their lifetime, and even publicly identified themselves as big shots, otherwise they would not have the ability to come here.
Jiang Yao suddenly squatted down and said, "Ajiu, did you find anything?"
Ah Jiu raised his cockscomb and said, "Most of these corpses have rings on their hands, which means that no one from the previous and following groups of tomb robbers may have left alive."
This truth couldn't be simpler. If anyone leaves alive, then the rings must have been taken away.
But the rings are still there and have not been picked up.
Jiang Yao nodded: "Yes. Have you seen the cause of their death?"
"I don't know." Ah Jiu didn't have a clue.
Only the bones were left on the body, and there were no injuries on the bones.
Jiang Yao didn't see the cause of death. He looked at the extremely deep tomb passage and took out another gun, holding both guns in his hands.
The passage to the tomb became deeper and deeper, and darker and darker, until finally I couldn't even see my fingers.
In a forbidden place, without magic power, ginger medicine cannot be seen at all.
There was a "pop", a crisp sound under the feet, and then the sound of "Gulu Gulu" came.
But Jiang Yao stepped on a skeleton, and the skull rolled down.
This is heard with the ears.
However, the skull rolled down a few times and seemed to have stopped, and the rolling sound of "Gulu Gulu" also stopped abruptly.
It's like a ball rolling down an uphill slope, and then someone stops it from rolling.
This feeling makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Yao frowned slightly. He had been prepared for it. He took out Wang Zhonghua's Luoyang lighter from the bag and lit it with a bang.
Then adjust it to maximum brightness, like an oil lamp.
This lighter is also a high-tech product of China and the standard equipment of the Five-Dimensional Research Institute.
Although it is only the size of an ordinary lighter, it uses high-energy hydraulic gas and can burn at maximum brightness for two hours.
As soon as the lighter was turned on, before Jiang Yao had time to see why the rolling skeleton stopped rolling, a pair of feet appeared in front of him.
That's right, it's a pair of feet.
It was only one foot away from his face. If Jiang Yao hadn't turned on the lighter, his head might have hit these feet.
The boots on these feet have come off, and their feet are so muscular that they look like men's feet at first glance.
As Jiang Yao arrived, the pair of feet also swayed slightly in the air. For some reason, Jiang Yao suddenly felt very uncomfortable and weird when he saw these feet.
Just a pair of feet gave him a strong sense of disobedience.
What's going on?
Jiang Yao didn't have time to think about what was strange. He raised the lighter and looked up. Under the light of the fire, he saw a pale and pale face.
When Jiang Yao saw this face clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked and almost dropped the lighter in his hand...
PS: If you can guess who it is, I will admire you. Good night, Crab.
