Thousands of years ago, in order to consolidate the dominance of his descendants, Li Gao did not hesitate to kill the senior ministers who had followed him for many years. Among them, the left and right virtuous kings drank their hatred and became Li Gao's burial objects. After Li Gao's death, he still cruelly oppressed these dead people in the underground palace.
The senior ministers of Li Gao forced them to surrender under his power. Li Gao's Yin soldiers caused a bloody storm everywhere and caused chaos in the world. It was not until five hundred years ago that the Buddhist swordsman, the fifth generation of the Buddhist monk, the strange man Fa Liang, rushed from the White Horse Temple to the Western Regions.
He went down to the underground palace and sealed Li Gao in the underground palace with Buddhist sacred relics, preventing Li Gao's evil spirits from doing evil.
For five hundred years, Wang Chong, the left and right king, fulfilled the promise he made to Zen Master Fa Liang and never left the spiritual realm. After Li Gao was sealed, he repeatedly sent out spiritual messages for help in the underground palace. The left and right kings held grudges and never came to help.
In the past hundred years, King Zuo Xian often heard wild laughter and curses coming to the underground palace, and even sensed the powerful Yin power bursting out from the underground palace. After five hundred years, the relics have been constantly fighting against the evil power of Li Gao's Yin spirits.
The spiritual power of Buddhism is already on the verge of collapse. It is only a matter of time before all the ghosts of Li Gao rush out of the underground palace.
King Zuo Xian naturally understood the cruelty of Li Gao's methods. Once Li Gao broke out of the underground palace, he was afraid that all the ghosts in the spiritual realm he ruled would be scattered, and he did not know what kind of cruel punishment he would receive.
For this reason, King Zuo Xian was on tenterhooks, waiting for the day when bad luck would come. The appearance of Deng Long undoubtedly brought the last glimmer of hope to King Zuo Xian.
The joy in my heart is hard to express.
A strange man comes out every five hundred years. Five hundred years ago, Zen Master Fa Liang freed himself from Li Gao's control. Five hundred years later, will this young man named Deng Long bring him luck and hope again?
Wang Chong, the king of Zuo Xian, sat on the throne. For the first time in five hundred years, his delicate and pale face showed a confused expression. "Deng Long, Deng Long, I hope you won't let me down." Li Gao sighed.
"King Xian, those boys have been resting for several days, and they want to see you!" General Bi Ling strode into the hall and knelt down respectfully.
"Well, General Bi, go and take out the mortal things stored in the imperial kitchen to entertain them," King Zuo Xian waved.
The Deng Long brothers walked on the verge of death, but they were still a little scared despite their joy. Neither Sophora Ghost nor King Zuo Xian were ordinary people.
"Xiaolong, I don't understand. King Zuo Xian was obviously injured at that time, why didn't you kill that bird with a thunderbolt?" Ma Tiexin stood outside the palace, with a face full of displeasure.
"Xiaolong, don't pay attention to Lao Ma. He doesn't understand anything. Didn't you see that Xiaolong vomited blood and fainted? Besides, even if we kill the bird, we still have to cut it into pieces for the ghosts."
Li Kangkai rolled his eyes at Ma Tiexin angrily and said
Deng Long said with a helpless smile: "Two eldest brothers, you don't know that King Zuo Xian was not seriously injured at all. Besides, he gave our brother some face, lowered his status and admitted defeat. If I don't find a way out,
Come on, don’t you think you’re asking for death if you don’t appreciate it?”
Deng Long thought about it, and his impression of King Zuo Xian got a little better. King Zuo Xian did not tell lies. He had no intention of embarrassing them, and even intended to let them into the underground palace. King Zuo Xian seemed not to be what he imagined.
Completely loyal to Li Gao, the competition with him was more like testing himself. However, Deng Long knew in his heart that if he did not show his strength at that time, King Zuo Xian would definitely kill him without hesitation.
The only explanation is that I am a friend rather than an enemy to King Zuo Xian, or that I have a certain value to him.
"Several of you, the wise king has invited you to enter the palace!" A Yin Ling general said loudly, pressing his sword.
Ma Tiexin stared hard at the arrogant Yin Ling general, snorted coldly, and strode into the hall first.
There were four murderous guards in black clothes standing on the left and right sides of the main hall. When King Zuo Xian saw several people entering the hall, he greeted them with a smile on his face.
"You all retreat, I want to chat with a few guests alone." King Zuo Xian turned his head and waved his hand.
The eight guards in black walked out of the hall with their heads held high, closing the door behind them. Only King Zuo Xian and Ma Tiexin were left in the hall.
"You guys take a seat. Today we are informal and let's chat casually." King Zuo Xian sat back on the throne and waved his hand.
Deng Long and the other three sat down in the main hall. Ma Tiexin and Li Kangkai were beating their hearts out, wondering where King Zuo Xian was singing.
"Deng Long, your injury is not serious." King Zuo Xian looked at Deng Long and asked with a smile.
"King Laoxian, thank you for your trouble. I'm fine. Thank you so much, King Laoxian, for healing my wounds." Deng Long returned the gift with a cupped hand and thanked him.
"It's just a small matter. This king and you all just had a little accident." King Zuo Xian waved his hand and said casually.
Then he said: "You must also know that Zen Master Fa Liang entered the underground palace five hundred years ago. Zen Master Fa Liang is the most respected master besides my mentor. In the past, Zen Master Fa Liang came to my spiritual realm to meet with me.
We have been friends for many years, and we talked about Buddhism for three days and three nights. I still remember it vividly. It is a pity that Zen Master Fa Liang passed away and passed away. I have lost a close friend. It is sad and sad."
Deng Long and the other four saw that King Zuo Xian was full of melancholy and sincere emotions. It didn't seem like a show, but they didn't understand how Zen Master Fa Liang could become a close friend with a person who had made trouble and shed blood for Li Gaoxian.
"I also heard Mr. Huai (Sophora Ghost) say that Zen Master Fa Liang stayed here for three days and did not initiate any killings. Now after listening to the wise king, I understand the reason," said Deng Long
"Actually, I will not hide this from you. If you come later, I will probably lead all the Yin spirits in the spiritual realm to leave here," King Zuo Xian said sadly.
"What does this mean? The spiritual realm is not easy to find. If you change the place casually, aren't you afraid of the heavenly masters and ghosts in the underworld?" Deng Long asked puzzledly.
"Haha, it's better to be taken back to the underworld and tortured by the Eighteen Levels of Hell than to be taken back to the underworld by the ghosts of the Heavenly Master, and it's better to work for a villain like Li Gao," King Zuo Xian said with a bitter smile.
"Wasn't Li Gao sealed in the underground palace by the relics? Aren't the right and left virtuous kings always Li Gao's most capable civil servants and generals?" Duan Yuxuan said in shock.
King Zuo Xian raised his head and laughed. His laughter was sad and desolate, which made Deng Long and others feel terrified.
"Li Gao? He is simply a beast that has no conscience. I and the senior ministers assisted him in unifying the Hetao and achieving hegemony. It's a pity that in the end, he was buried with him at a celebration banquet. I wanted to beat his tendons and pluck him out.
skin and bones, now you understand why I did not intend to prevent you from going to the underground palace." King Zuo Xian choked sadly.
"Then there is no need for you to leave the spiritual realm. With the suppression of the Relics, you can continue to rule here with peace of mind. What can Li Gao do to you?" Ma Tiexin frowned and said loudly.
"The energy of the relic is about to be exhausted. There have been frequent laughters from the underground palace recently. I estimate that Li Gao will be able to return to the underground palace soon." King Zuo Xian regained his composure and said coldly.
"In the past five hundred years, there have been frequent battles in the mortal world. Although I don't know what happened above, in the past fifty years, countless innocent souls have poured into the underground. Li Gao has absorbed the power of these huge Yin spirits, and his strength
It has expanded rapidly, and the relic has reached its end, do you understand?" King Zuo Xian said.
Deng Long frowned. In the past fifty years, the world has indeed been in chaos. First, there was a bloody war between hundreds of thousands of people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty. In the Battle of Nanjing alone, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed in the war. In recent years, warlords have been fighting fiercely for many years.
Millions of innocent soldiers and civilians were killed every year. Such large-scale casualties could only be compared to the warring states at the end of the Warring States period.
The heaven and earth are divided into five elements and yin and yang. Once the yin energy is too strong and the yang energy is dim, evil spirits will inevitably arise. Good things will disappear and evil will grow. Evil spirits like Li Gao will inevitably act against the heavens.
Thinking of this war-torn society, Deng Long and others feel very heavy in their hearts. If this evil situation is not changed for one day, evil spirits like Li Gao will only become more and more powerful.
"It can be said that the situation has indeed reached an extremely critical moment, otherwise I would not have made such a decision." King Zuo Xian waved his hand, sat back on the throne feebly, and said sadly
Deng Long felt inexplicably heavy in his heart. If someone as powerful as King Zuo Xian could only choose to escape, was he really sure of dealing with Li Gao?
"King Xian, the dishes are ready. Look..." General Bi Lingyin opened the door of the palace, walked in, and said respectfully.
"Well, General Bi, go and bring the dishes to the main hall. I have something important to discuss with them." King Zuo Xian waved his hand.
Bi Ling walked outside the hall and waved, and a dozen Yin soldiers carried the locust wood dining table into the hall. Suddenly there were several steaming large bowls on the dining table, the aroma was overflowing and mouth-watering.
Deng and Long, who had not eaten for several days, could not help but feel salivation in their mouths and were about to move their index fingers.
"Guys, please sit down, don't be constrained by etiquette!" King Zuo Xian took the lead and got off the throne and sat cross-legged at the dining table.
Deng Long and others had to sit cross-legged according to the rules. Without greeting, Li and Ma had already opened the lids of the bowls, and they had all kinds of fish, meat, vegetables and fruits.
Just as Ma Tiexin was about to put down his chopsticks, Li Kangkai quickly stopped him, pointed at the wild boar meat on the plate, and asked with a smile: "Xian Wang, I want to ask, isn't there no living thing in the spiritual realm? This... what is going on?
?”
King Zuo Xian laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, everyone, this is the prey left by the warriors of the spiritual realm hundreds of years ago. The spiritual realm was originally just a part of nature. It is normal to have these flying insects and beasts. But after five hundred
Years ago, I made an oath with Zen Master Far Liang not to step outside the spiritual realm. The beasts and birds in the spiritual realm have been gradually exterminated for five hundred years, and only the 'ghost crows' that suck the yin energy are left.
, these prey have been stored in the cellar of my royal kitchen, and they are absolutely edible."
Deng Long nodded towards Li Kangkai and said with a smile: "Brothers, feel free to eat, don't let down the good intentions of the wise king."
Deng Long naturally knew that if King Zuo Xian wanted to harm several of his people, he would never use poison or such insidious tricks. At the same time, this also showed that King Zuo Xian did have a common enemy with him, that is Li Gao from the underground palace.
After a full meal, King Zuo Xian asked someone to carry him off the table and said solemnly: "Time is running out. I have decided to send General Bi Ling to help you go to the underground palace to defeat the enemy. With General Bi Ling here, King You Xian will never embarrass you."
After saying that, King Zuo Xian called Bi Ling into the palace, explained it carefully, and personally led the crowd to escort Deng Long and the others to the entrance of the sixth floor of the Demon Tower, the entrance to King You Xian's spiritual realm, and then left.
