Since entering the world of immortal cultivation, Lao Liu's goal is to one day reach the heavens in cultivation and have the ability to penetrate into the underworld. At that time, he can go to the underworld to find his master.
If you want to reach the underworld, you must at least enter the realm of great supernatural powers.
Only when the soul leaves the body can it have the ability to enter and exit yin and yang.
In the past, Lao Liu's Tao practice was low and far away from the realm of great supernatural powers. This ambitious goal inspired him and made his Tao practice advance by leaps and bounds.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages.
As the cultivation level became more and more advanced, and after reaching the fifth level of perfection and being only one step away from the realm of great supernatural powers, this goal became an obsession.
Lao Liu also understood in his heart that only by letting go of his obsessions and calming down could he have a chance to break through the natural chasm. Unfortunately, the more he deliberately downplayed it, the more impetuous his mind became, inner demons breed, the vicious beast of the sexual sea roared and boiled, and the whole person fell into a state of pain and struggle.
Even normal practice has been affected.
Now that he heard that Chu Chen had the magical power to open the door to the earth, reach the underworld, and help him fulfill his wish, one can imagine the excitement in Lao Liu's heart.
"Brother Chu, can you really go? You're not just teasing me."
"Of course not."
Chu Chen nodded solemnly: "Actually, I have acquired this magical power a long time ago, but I didn't mention it to you because I was afraid that you would think too much. Now that I am sure, I came to you."
"Thank you, Brother Chu, you are truly my noble man!"
Lao Liu bowed and saluted, with a bright smile on his face.
However, his smile did not last long. Although he was surprised and excited, he was also worried about gains and losses:
"Brother Chu, tell me, will my master be reincarnated..."
When Chu Chen heard this, he pondered for a while:
"Humans have a yang lifespan, and ghosts also have a yin lifespan. In just twenty years, they will not be reincarnated so early."
He and Lao Liu met fifteen or sixteen years ago. Prior to that, Lao Liu's master died seven or eight years ago, which is more than twenty years ago. There is a high chance that the hunter is still in the Netherworld.
"That's good."
Lao Liu nodded, but the anxiety between his brows still lingered, and asked again
"Brother Chu, the underworld of the underworld is vast and boundless. It is infinitely larger than our world. Finding people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. How should we find people?"
"Lao Liu, don't worry about this, I have my own way."
Chu Chen smiled when he heard this and was very confident.
For an ordinary monk with great supernatural powers, this would indeed be a difficult problem.
Even if you get the "Underworld Clearance Document" from the Immortal Court and the endorsement of Dachang Celestial Dynasty, it will not be an easy task to go to the underworld to find someone. Dachang Immortal Court controls the wind and rain in this world, but it can't get enough of it in the underworld.
If you want to find someone, you must have connections.
Certain great sects of immortal sects rely on the protection of their ancestors, and have more or less connections in the sky and on earth. Chu Chen also has connections, and his connections are extremely powerful, including the top power in the underworld - Emperor Guan Sheng.
If the emperor is willing to take action, it will be easy to find someone who will die in vain.
"Brother Chu, you have many connections."
Lao Liu remembered what happened to his friend Lan Yang a few years ago, and it was Chu Chen who stepped in to settle the matter. He was very popular in the Ghosts and Gods Department of Xianting. Now that he saw that Chu Chen also had connections in the underworld, he couldn't help but feel admiration, and the anxiety in his heart disappeared.
Quite a few.
"Hahaha~"
Chu Chen smiled and said nothing, expecting something in his heart.
Lao Liu himself has a close relationship with Emperor Guan Sheng, and the chance of success is not small.
Even if there is a chance to win the favor of the emperor and give Lao Liu some casual advice, it will be a great blessing for Lao Liu.
However, Chu Chen didn't say too much. He pressed the magic formula with his hand and summoned the [Earth Letter Seal], sealing the ground.
A divine light shot into the ground.
Just listen, there was a roar, the earth trembled, and a huge crack in the ground was created, which grew bigger and bigger. Within a few dozen breaths, a huge abyss appeared in the open space of Hedogong Garden, bottomless, and emitting a sinister and sinister aura.
Chu Chen immediately laid the altar, wrote a chapter on it, stated his intention of entering the netherworld one by one, sealed the talisman, and threw it into the abyss.
among.
Not long after, a divine light from the abyss rose into the sky and fell on Chu Chen and Lao Liu.
This is the [Passing Talisman Light]. With this Talisman Light, the two of them can enter and leave the Netherworld normally. It is not considered sneaking in and will not be intercepted by Yin soldiers and Yin generals.
"Old Liu, let's go!"
Chu Chen said hello, and one person and one dog turned into escaping light, submerged into the abyss, and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the abyss was closed again, and the garden returned to normal, as if the scene just now was an illusion.
The Grandmaster was so proud that Chu Chen and Lao Liu had an unimpeded journey and arrived at a desolate world filled with black clouds and a lifeless atmosphere.
This place is Fengduluo Mountain.
Fengdu Mountain, located in Guidi in the north, is the root of ghosts and the spirit of death. The mountain is 2,600 miles high and has a circumference of 15,000 miles. It was ruled by Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin. There are caves and palaces in the mountains, which are the capitals of ghosts and gods.
There are twelve palaces on the mountain that govern ghosts, and there are twelve palaces that govern gods below. There are six palaces on the left and right of the upper palace, and six palaces on the left and right of the lower palace. There are twenty-four palaces in total. They are the place where sinful souls are punished.
Among the Yin Cao divisions, the immortal officials, gods, and officials are all ancient emperors and highly accomplished monks, all of whom are hereby conferred the title of Ming Guan Ming Shen. In other words, many of the twenty-four Yin Palaces come from the Dachang Celestial Dynasty.
This is also the reason why some big sects of immortal sects and wealthy families have connections in the Netherworld.
In addition to the six upper and lower heavenly palaces in Fengdu, there were nine squad commanders under the command of Emperor Fengdu in Beiyin, who commanded the soldiers and horses of Fengdu Luoshan and guarded the underworld.
Among them, Emperor Guan Sheng's incarnation in Fengdu, Fengdu Lang Lingyu Demon Great God, is one of the nine marshals and has a respected status.
Chu Chen and Lao Liu had just arrived outside Fengdu, and soon there were black clouds rolling in.
A ghost general in armor, with a green face and fangs, led a group of soldiers and horses, and stopped the two of them. Xu Shi saw the passing talisman light on Chu Chen's body, and the leader of the ghost general, Hades, was quite polite and saluted:
"Why are these two fellow Taoists traveling to Hades?"
"Under the jurisdiction of the Pindao Dachang Dynasty, the alternate elder of the Immortal Court Central Presbytery, the fourth-rank Jiutian Jinque Shaoqing, wants to meet Marshal Guan this time. This is a memorial approved by the emperor. I would like to trouble the general to inform him." The leader of the ghost general met Chu Chen.
The emperor's criticism was presented with an even more kind attitude:
"Fellow Taoist, please come with me."
Not long after, Chu Chen and Lao Liu entered a palace deep in Fengdu Mountain under the leadership of Ghost General Ming Shen.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but it was the palace where Chu Chen visited Fengdu last time to pay homage to the emperor. Lao Liuxu guessed something and looked shocked.
"Brother Chu, could it be that Marshal Guan is..."
"Exactly!"
Chu Chen nodded solemnly, and just as he was about to say something, a majestic aura descended from the temple.
Immediately, on the throne in the middle of the palace, a great god with a red face and a long beard sat.
The two of them bowed and saluted:
"Disciple pays homage to the Emperor."
"No need to be polite."
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan's eyes fell on Chu Chen, slightly surprised.
The fourth level of Dzogchen, the magic power is even comparable to that of the third level.
In the last incident [Nine-Headed Lion Under the Corpse God], he earned a lot of face in front of the God of Rescue, and because of this, he was quite impressed by Chu Chen and was very optimistic about it.
But the current speed of Chu Chen's cultivation made him extremely satisfied.
Children can be taught!
"Yes, little friend Chu, you must have worked hard in the past few years."
Chu Chen held up his hands and said, "Thanks to the emperor for your guidance."
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan smiled and said nothing more. His eyes fell on Lao Liu beside him, and he was even more surprised:
"What is the method you practice?"
Lao Liu was inexplicably excited since he saw the true form of Emperor Guan Sheng. When the emperor asked him something, he stuttered a little:
"Disciple Lao Liu pays homage to the Patriarch."
The method practiced by Brother Gou Laoliu is [Guandi Mingsheng Zhen Gong], which was born out of the "Mingsheng Sutra" and respects Guan Sheng Emperor as the ancestor.
While he was talking, Lao Liu fell to the ground and bowed respectfully to his disciples.
"Dong dong dong!"
"No gift!"
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan's tone was calm, and his face did not show the slightest emotion because of meeting the disciples of Guandi. It was completely different from the kindness he showed when he first met Chu Chen, who practiced [Marshal Fengdulanglingguan Dafa].
When Chu Chen saw this scene, he was slightly surprised.
This scene was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
Lao Liu was gifted with extraordinary talents and practiced the methods of Emperor Guan. Not only was he 100% favored by the emperor, he was at least very close to him. How could he be lukewarm?
Could it be that the emperor looked down upon Lao Liu's background as a dog demon, or was it that the ferocious beasts of the sea of sexuality were raging and inner demons were growing in Lao Liu's eyes? The emperor felt that Lao Liu's practice of [Ming Sheng Zhen Gong] was too poor and looked down upon him? Chu Chen couldn't help but
Be curious.
Just when he was confused, Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan spoke again.
"Little friend Chu, why do you want to see me?"
When Chu Chen heard this, he stopped thinking about it, bowed his hands and said:
"Emperor, here's the thing. My friend Lao Liu was born in the demon clan. He was raised by a hunter in the mountains since he was a child. He is very knowledgeable about human nature. When the hunter died unexpectedly, Lao Liu refused to leave and guarded the tomb for eight years.
By chance, a spiritual field emerged in the cemetery, and he suddenly became spiritually intelligent..."
Chu Chen told everything about his acquaintance with his dog brother Lao Liu, Lao Liu's past, and this time he brought Lao Liu to find the hunter.
"What a loyal dog!"
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan sighed with emotion, but there was not much approval in his expression. He shook his head:
"It's a pity that my understanding is a bit lacking and I haven't grasped the true meaning of the Great Way of Loyalty. No wonder I've cultivated like this." Mr. Guan is a proud man. Even after becoming a god and an immortal, his temper has become much more restrained. However, he is arrogant to the core, and some of his tempers cannot be changed.
Can't.
Especially when I saw Lao Liu practicing [Guandi Ming Sheng Zhen Gong], the heat was extremely poor, the vicious beasts of the sexual sea were raging, and the inner demons were breeding, I was really angry.
Lao Liu's admiration for Emperor Guan Sheng cannot be described in words. He is the only god in his heart. After hearing the criticism from the Patriarch Guan Sheng Emperor, Lao Liu's head suddenly dropped and his face was full of shame. "Disciple is ashamed!"
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan shook his head.
This time it was Chu Chen who came forward to ask for help. Thinking about the nine-headed lion incident last time, he refused Lao Liu’s request and sighed:
"That's all, because I want you to be loyal and since you have little friend Chu asking for your help, I will help you once." "Thank you, Emperor!"
Chu Chen and Lao Liu were very happy when they heard this.
Marshal Guan stroked his beautiful beard, counted with his fingers, and said:
"He has not yet reincarnated, so I ordered someone to bring him."
After saying that, Marshal Fengdu Lang Lingguan opened the seal script.
It takes about a hundred years to rest.
A group of ghost soldiers and ghost generals outside the palace came to the palace with a middle-aged man who was full of life and death.
After a person dies, he loses his physical body and his appearance does not age.
The hunter looked like that back then, and he still looks like that now, and his appearance has not changed.
When he saw the middle-aged man, the memories deep in Lao Liu's mind emerged little by little. He was so excited that he rushed over without saying a word:
"Master! Master!"
When the middle-aged hunter ghost saw Lao Liu, who was rushing towards him and fell to his knees on the ground, he was startled and backed away with a look of panic on his face.
When Lao Liu saw this, he became even more excited. He hugged the middle-aged hunter's thigh and said:
"Master, I am Lao Liu, I am Lao Liu!"
As he spoke, Lao Liu transformed into a black dog, and his appearance was the same as before. When the middle-aged hunter saw this, he was confused and frightened, and still did not recognize Lao Liu.
Lao Liu looked at Marshal Guan with a look of astonishment on his face and begged:
"Ancestor, this..."
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan looked calm:
"His life span has expired, his spirit has faded, his memory has been forgotten, and this life has come to an end."
Chu Chen saw that Lao Liu was sluggish and lost his bearings, so he immediately asked for Lao Liu:
"Emperor, is there any way to save me?"
"Birth, old age, illness and death are all God's will. There is no such thing as rescue or not. It is the law of heaven and earth.
So, how can we talk about a word of salvation?"
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan was halfway through his words when he thought of something and looked at Lao Liu:
"There is nothing you can do to extend his life. Although he is not destined to be an immortal, you have entered the immortal sect, are transcendent, and have the Tao and practice. All you need to do is let him regard you as the master, and his life depends on you.
If you support him with the magic power of your soul, he will naturally not need to die. As long as you don't die, you can prolong his life."
Chu Chen and Lao Liu were stunned when they heard this.
Let Lao Liu's former master recognize Lao Liu as his master... The emperor's advice is really heart-breaking. "Grandmaster, this is the only way? Don't recognize the master..."
"No!"
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan said with determination, "His lifespan is exhausted, his death energy is growing, and he is subject to disasters from heaven and earth. If he doesn't recognize you as his master and his life depends on you, how can he withstand the disasters?!"
Lao Liu was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.
Asking his master to worship him as master was a huge shock to him and went against his heart.
However, longing for the depths of his memory took over, and he asked again:
"Grandmaster, if I extend my master's life, will he be able to regain his memory in the future?"
"That's okay."
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan saw Lao Liu's face beaming with joy, shook his head and said:
"However, you don't have to be happy. Immortals are different from mortals. He has no destiny and is just a ghost. Even if you support him and use his ghost body to resist the disasters of heaven and earth and the five declines of heaven and man, it is undoubtedly a big deal for him.
Torture, going up mountains of swords and seas of fire every day, life is worse than death, the pain is excruciating."
"this…"
When Lao Liu heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, the smile on his face disappeared completely, and he completely lost his sense of squareness.
Since he entered the world of cultivation and practiced hard, all he wanted was to reunite with his master and return to the happy days of hunting in the mountains.
Now, this wish is finally expected to come true.
However, the price is that the owner suffers every day
The result was so cruel.
For a moment, Lao Liu sat slumped on the ground with a slumped expression.
After a while, the expression on his face changed, and the evil spirit grew around him, showing signs of being possessed.
"Senior brother, something is not right with Lao Liu!"
The little devil's exclamation came to his ears, and Chu Chen also saw that something was wrong, and immediately looked at Marshal Guan, the great god of evil spirits.
Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan shook his head and said:
"This is the fate of his fate. No one can help him. He can't get over it. If he can get through it, it will be a road to heaven!"
Tongtian Avenue?
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, then his face became overjoyed.
What is Tongtian Avenue? The great god in front of you is the "Great Emperor Xietian".
