Chapter 1,260 The dead souls pouring into the underworld are all Japanese
Nai River Bridge.
Surrounded by the Day Traveling God and the Night Traveling God, Li Yan walked on the dangerous, narrow and smooth bridge, staring at the blood river below.
This river is called the Naihe River. It is full of insects and snakes, with rolling waves and a fishy wind. Once a ghost unfortunately falls into it, just like the description in the original novel of Journey to the West, brass snakes and iron dogs will compete for food, and they will fall into the Naihe River forever with no way out.
There is also a folk saying that good people will be protected by gods or Buddhas and can cross the bridge smoothly, while evil people will be thrown into a river of blood and suffer eternal punishment.
However, Li Yan already knows that there is no such distinction between good and evil in the Blood River. The main purpose is to detect the existence of Meng Po Tang. Only ghosts who drink the soup and have no distracting thoughts can walk steadily on this dangerous bridge.
, cross the Huangquan Road, and return to the earthly world.
So coming and going at this time is also a practice.
The day and night gods next to them were very worried at first, holding the soul-drawing flags in their hands, ready to help at any time.
As a ghost in the underworld, he is fully aware of the dangers of Naihe Bridge. This heavenly master on earth is the benefactor who healed the ten palaces of Yama, so he must not make any mistakes.
However, gradually, the two Yin Sishen realized that they seemed to be worrying too much.
No matter how the river of blood rolls and the Yin Qi rages, this person's steps are extremely calm, coming and going freely, no less than the gods of the underworld, and more light and unrestrained.
The surprised eye contact between the Day Travel God and the Night Travel God couldn't help but reveal awe: "We, ghosts and immortals, can't bear the air of this sea of blood. How can this human immortal have such magical powers?"
The Tathagata Buddha once said that there are five immortals in the world: Taiyi immortals, sea and mountain immortals, and earth immortals who note the world. Needless to say, they are all reported in heaven. Like Li Yan, who has the appearance of an immortal, but
Those who hide in the world are human immortals. The final ghost immortals are not lonely ghosts who have become immortals, but existences such as earth and mountain gods, city officials, and underworld officials.
The ten palaces of Yama, the judges of each palace, and even the gods of the day and night can all be classified as ghosts and immortals. The emperor of the human city is also a ghost and immortal, and even the earth gods are ghosts and immortals.
For example, in the land in Wuzhuang Temple, Wukong didn't know the properties of the ginseng fruit. After knocking it down, he got into the ground and disappeared. When he asked the land how he dared to steal it, the land anxiously explained, "This treasure is the treasure of the earth immortal. The little god is a
Ghost Fairy, how dare you take it?"
From this sentence, it may be seen that although the five immortals are not ranked, they are ranked three, six or nine after all.
Heavenly immortals, gods, and earthly immortals all have seats in the Peach Fair. Human immortals do not want to be restrained and their reputation is not visible to the world, but that's fine. Ghost immortals are not qualified to be among them.
The awkward location of the underworld has something to do with it.
However, the ghost immortals also have advantages that the other four immortals do not have, that is, the use of Yin Qi, and they are also quite resistant to turbid Qi. This is why the earth and mountain gods in the human world can be the first to recover. Although the underworld is inevitably chaotic, it continues to operate.
reason.
Now this use of Yin Qi has been learned by the human immortal in front of me.
Li Yan is indeed learning.
He doesn't care about the division of status, what matters is the control of power.
The ways of yin and yang, as well as the distinction between pure and turbid, are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other. Excessive pursuit of one end will make it difficult to withstand the changes of heaven and earth. Now that you have the opportunity to deeply understand the yin energy, you can't miss it.
But to be fair, the power of this river of blood is indeed terrifying. Every step he takes, there are countless mournful sounds, which first echo in the ears, and soon impact into the soul. Even Niwan Palace feels acupuncture-like pain, and the billowing Yin Qi penetrates all the way.
, seems to drown everything.
On the surface, Li Yan was taking a leisurely stroll, but in fact, he was fully utilizing his magic power to resist this erosion and maintain the balance in his body.
"Such an impact is in no way inferior to the Nine Tribulations!"
Although he has not personally experienced the Nine Tribulations, he can roughly tell that walking back and forth on the Naihe Bridge without protection is no less than a head-on confrontation with the Nine Tribulations.
However, compared to the Nine Tribulations, where there is no uniform way to deal with it, crossing this bridge is quite simple. Just drink the Meng Po soup cooked in the pot beside the bridge.
In addition, you have to stay in the underworld for a long time, absorb the yin energy, practice, and transform your soul body into a half-ghost-immortal body before you can cross the bridge safely.
"This is what Princess Wan Sheng did in order to successfully retain the memory of her previous life. However, the King of Wheels said that the soul would be reincarnated directly without drinking Meng Po soup. She was also a congenital fool when she was reincarnated, so she still kept it conservative, and the probability of immediate death was greater...
…”
"Then how did the large number of soul bodies that were reincarnated previously avoid the erosion of Yin Qi?"
"If you can do it in a hurry, it will at least be at the level of the Immortal Family. With such strength, why bother reincarnating in a hurry to help the demons in Cuiyun Palace control the underworld? Wouldn't it be better?"
After practice, Li Yan's doubts became deeper and deeper, and he always felt that the situation in the underworld was full of fog.
The truth was still being explored, but he walked across Naihe Bridge again, and when he turned his eyes, he was attracted by the souls pouring in from the distance.
Recently, due to the failure of many instruments in the underworld, the eighteen levels of hell are not under control, and the souls of the dead cannot be released into the human world at will. The pressure on the ten palaces is huge, and the number of foreign souls is even more crowded, but this number is still exaggerated.
Li Yan asked: "Where is that?"
Riyushen replied: "It's a waste of time."
Li Yan's eyes moved: "Go and have a look."
The wandering gods of day and night gathered around him and headed towards the area of the Sixth Hall.
The so-called wasted death refers to the ghosts who died prematurely without following the lifespan in the book of life and death. Most of them were caused by murders, wars, accidents and other incidents, and their characteristics are also very distinctive. Compared with the muddiness of normal dead souls, they are sober.
As for the City of Wasted Death, it was a city created by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for the ghosts who died in the Wuwu disaster. It is adjacent to the Naihe Bridge and the Blood Basin Realm of Suffering. The person in charge of the City of Wasted Death is the King Biancheng of the sixth palace among the ten palaces of Yama.
These unjust souls who died in vain enter the city not to suffer, but to wait until the end of their originally destined life span. For example, if someone is destined to die at the age of eighty, but is unfortunately killed by a thief at the age of thirty, he will wait in the city of vain death.
For fifty years, he went to the city to observe and see whether the murderer received the retribution he deserved.

It will not be until you see the murderer getting his retribution with your own eyes and your resentment is relieved, that you will be released from various prisons, and then you will be rewarded or rewarded based on your good and evil deeds during your lifetime.
Punishment, reincarnation.
That is, "rescuing the dead souls from the city where they died in vain, waiting for the murderer to arrive, and witnessing the suffering, so that the victims can eliminate their resentment."
Interestingly, Li Shimin in Journey to the West insisted on organizing a land and water conference just before the City of Wasted Death when he heard the dead souls of his defeated generals and princes wailing for their lives. There must be dead souls of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji among them.
, save the dead souls from rebirth, and stop making trouble again.
Now those rules have disappeared, and the City of Wasted Death has become a pure detention place, with underworld soldiers strictly guarding it to prevent these resentful dead souls from causing chaos.
But when Li Yan arrived outside the city, there was already a lot of resentment and wailing everywhere, and there were also people whipping and scolding mercilessly: "Be honest!"
The Day Traveler God and the Night Traveler God were worried about chaos, so they floated over to take a look, and frowned: "They are all new ghosts. It seems that there is another war in the world..."
Regarding Xiaoqian's plan, only the Tenth Hall Yama in the underworld is fully aware of it and is cooperating with it. The judges under his command only know that the female ghost who is following the Celestial Master is training the dead souls rescued in the past, and they do not know that they are planning to do it.
An earth-shattering event.
Naturally, the Day Traveling God and the Night Traveling God were not clear about the situation of the Japanese being invaded on the island, but Li Yan also stepped forward to observe the composition of the dead souls.
At first glance, the results are gratifying. More than 90% of the dead were Japanese, and they still retained the clothes they wore when they were alive. It was easy to tell that the remaining ones were mostly Korean soldiers, and the Ming army was the smallest.
It can be seen that the Ming army won.
And it’s a great victory!
Li Yan also noticed that among the dead Japanese souls, the eyes of hatred were focused on the Korean soldiers, and they were chattering. Although they could not understand it, the object of their hatred was very clear.
"Hu Ruzhen can indeed take on the important task of reviving the crisis and turning things around!"
Li Yan knew at a glance that Hu Zongxian took advantage of the Joseon Dynasty in order to pacify it as soon as possible. I am afraid that except for those who were killed by the Ming army on the front battlefield, most of these Japanese were killed by Koreans.
War has always been like this. Sympathy for the enemy is cruelty to one's own side. But with this method, the civil servants in the court may not be willing to give up.
Hu Zongxian knew that he had the possibility of joining the cabinet and even becoming the chief minister, but he still did not shy away from it. He put the war first, because the overall situation was the most important thing, which is commendable!
After all, the word "responsibility" sounds easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to practice.
Not to mention the officials, the Taoist Emperor lets his subordinates take the blame all day long, how can he be responsible?
Pleased with the performance of the Ming army and Hu Zongxian, Li Yan took out the ghost ticket and handed it over: "Trouble two generals to select the souls of the Ming army and give them preferential treatment without the pain of confinement..."
If the order of the underworld returns to normal, Li Yan will firmly maintain it and will not make any exceptions. Since it is still in chaos now, it is natural to rescue these sacrificed Ming soldiers, and it is best to arrange a good afterlife.
Seeing that this great benefactor of the King of Hell was still so polite, the God of Day Travel and the God of Night Travel skillfully accepted the tickets, with smiles on their faces: "Thank you, Master! Don't worry, we will definitely make the arrangements!"
Soon, groups of Ming army dead souls were brought out. Seeing this scene, the Japanese dead souls gave up and tried to stop them with bared teeth and claws, but were whipped crazily by the ghosts.
In the scene where ghosts were crying and gods howling, Li Yan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a familiar figure flashing past, pointing at him: "Bring that ghost who died in vain."
Hearing this, Ye Youshen stretched out his palm, curled up his Yin Qi, and took it over, but it turned out to be a short man with an unattractive appearance.
Li Yan looked at him and said calmly: "Kato Danzo, why are you hiding?"
This person was none other than the ninja Kato Danzo who had sneaked into the Tenshi Mansion, and later deliberately ran away with him. He never expected to see him again in the City of Wasted Death.
"The Great Tomorrow Master..."
It was even more difficult for Kato Danzo to accept that he died tragically, but the other party was safe and sound. He still maintained his majesty and indifference. He only chatted and laughed with the Yinsi God, and even directly issued orders to favor the Ming army. You can imagine the horror in his heart. He could only
He bent his waist hard, and his short body almost curled up into a ball.
But it was eventually discovered.
Li Yan found this ninja, not just to attack him, but because he was a little surprised at his death: "You were a first-class ninja, but you died in the early stages of the war. Could it be that you failed to assassinate the general in front of the battle?"
Kato Danzo kept his mouth shut.
Li Yan saw that this was not the case, and was about to ask another question when Ye You Shen's gloomy voice sounded: "Master Tian, why bother bothering with your words? Just search for the soul!"
Kato Danzo trembled all over, but still gritted his teeth and had no intention of surrendering.
Thinking about the inhuman training that ninjas received, and the fact that this person died in vain, he was not confused. Li Yan nodded lightly: "There may be something fishy about this person's death. I'm sorry!"
"Easy to say! Easy to say!"
Although this person did not hand over another stack of ghost tickets, which made Yayoushen feel a little regretful, he still took out his pale palm and covered it directly on the top of Kato Danzo's head.
Kato Danzo's light soul body suddenly twisted in a ripple-like manner, his mouth opened angrily, and he seemed to be howling silently, and a light spot slowly squeezed out from the center of his eyebrows.
Like opening a book, the memories of this ninja's life clearly appeared in front of him.
The first is deep regret.
He not only hated Yan Shifan, but also hated himself.
Yan Shifan was brought to the island by Kato Danzo. After that, he was bewitched by demonic thoughts and followed him by accident, killing Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin and many other important daimyo.
This directly led to the current defeat.
The daimyo was suddenly killed, and they were all tyrannical figures who kept their word. The political balance that originally surrounded them collapsed instantly. The countries were in chaos, and the original alliances were gone. They were fighting internally, fighting externally, and wars were everywhere...
The emperor in name only called on all the islands and continents to assemble to fight, but no ruler with a long-term vision was willing to take the order. When the Ming army marched in, he became alarmed, but it was already too late. Under the protection of the Dragon God, he was as powerful as a rainbow.
The Ming army retreated steadily in front of them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kato Danzo naturally regrets it.
After regret comes the hope of atonement.
Regarding the advantage held by the Ming army, Kato Danzo was not completely disappointed, because the Japanese country still had a strong spiritual practice community.
But soon, he discovered that the world of spiritual practice had also been severely damaged. The release of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade caused the most serious counterattack on the onmyoji and monks who were supposed to save the souls of the dead. An unknown number of people died, and some were even killed on the spot.
When a hundred ghosts eat the soul, the soul cannot even enter the underworld, and both body and soul are destroyed on the spot.
The key is that in the land of gods, the Yamata no Orochi escaped from trouble, devoured the practitioners who did not participate in the ghost refining on the spot, and then escaped into the sea and disappeared...
When Kato Danzo tried hard to search, he only found a few scattered branches. After the number of practitioners fell short of half a hundred, he finally despaired.
But at that time, the only remaining Onmyoji gave him an idea.
But here, the memory stops abruptly.
A familiar layer of fog emerged.
"Is it fog again?"
Regarding the previous memories, Li Yan was very calm. He was responsible for the defeat of the Japanese country. Of course, it was not surprising. But when this familiar layer of fog appeared in Kato Danzo's memory, his expression finally changed.
The deep-seated secrets about the Great Vision Realm are still obscured by the fog, but after all, they are a major event related to the situation of the world. How can this little ninja have it covered up in his memory?
Li Yan observed the fog and felt a little eager to try it.
Because this layer of mist is much thinner than the Great Wish Realm, the secrets that Kato Danzo was exposed to were obviously not as serious as that one.
When everything goes from shallow to deep, he makes a prompt decision, combines the four major discords, sacrifices backfire, and resents the resentment. His five fingers shine with light and flick.
Under the expectant gaze, the thin layer of mist blew away a bit, Kato Duanzang's soul body shook, and new memories emerged intermittently:
"Looking for the Three Divine Artifact Spirits...save me Fuso..."
"No...the three divine weapon spirits...are not weapon spirits..."
