Chapter 1020 of the main text volume of Shenyin Shan Hai Jing The latest website of the Nether World: *****
As early as the 300th year of the Shenting calendar, Lu Shanguan and Dong Xiaowan, the 26th generation descendants of the Lu family, had already cultivated into Xuanxian, and then split the soul to form two parts: the Yuan Shen and the Yin Hun. The Yuan Shen belonged to the Pure Yang Immortal, and the Yin Hun belonged to the Ghost Cultivator. Only ghosts can pass through the ghost gate and enter the netherworld.
Where is the underworld?
According to ordinary people's thinking, the netherworld is located underground.
In fact, this is not the case. The netherworld is located in a different dimension.
This world is not a three-dimensional structure, but a very complex multi-dimensional structure.
How many dimensions does the world have?
Based on the information collected by Yu Wanyue, and calculations by mathematicians Lu Qingyan, Ling Shiqiu and others, a latest conclusion was reached that the world has 64 dimensions, which coincides with the 64 petals of the Chaos Green Lotus!
These 64 dimensions include 18 levels of hell, 6 levels of the human world, 9 levels of the spiritual world, 9 levels of the fairy world, 9 levels of the Buddhist world, 6 levels of the demon world, 6 levels of the demon world, plus 1 level of the Daluo world.
The relationship between different dimensions is not completely separated, but there are parts that are integrated with each other. Just like the layers of petals of the Chaos Green Lotus, they seem to be independent structures, but they can actually interact with each other through the pedicel, calyx, receptacle, and style.
Contact.
The dimensions that a cultivator can reach are related to the skills he practices, and are also closely related to the level of his skills.
My skill is too low and I can't go anywhere.
Only with high skill can you tear apart time and space and reach another dimension.
The ghost clones of Lu Shanguan and Dong Xiaowan came to Shenjian Villa through the teleportation array, found the entrance to the Netherworld at the bottom of Yuyuan, and after reciting the incantation, they automatically entered the Netherworld.
Although there is no blazing sunlight in the netherworld, there is soft and dim light, just like the scene after sunset, with shadows and shadows that cannot be seen clearly.
The netherworld is similar to the human world. There are mountains, water, grass and trees. The mountains are mostly hills and hills. The water flow is slow and cold. The grass is green and yellow and low. The trees are mostly shrubs, and the leaves are green and black. p>
There are villages and cities in the underworld, and there are many ghosts and ghosts living there.
Ghosts and ghosts are the same as humans, with human thoughts. The only difference is that they lack flesh and blood bodies.
Precisely because of the lack of a physical body, the ghost's body is just a shadow. The shadow can be large or small, and the higher the skill, the larger the body. Therefore, the underworld also has class divisions, including wandering ghosts, ghost soldiers, fierce ghosts, old ghosts, and ghost generals.
Ghost Fairy, Ghost King, Ghost Emperor and Ghost Emperor.
Lu Shangguan and Dong Xiaowan are clones of the Mysterious Immortal, whose level surpasses that of the Ghost Immortal and is equivalent to the realm of the Ghost King.
Especially Lu Shanguan, who has mastered the "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu" and "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Ghosts", also learned 700 ghost charms, and is familiar with the Taoist "Yin Fu Jing" and "Tai Yi's Sutra of Rescue of Suffering and Disaster Tianzun Transcendence"
, "Taiyi's Sutra of Saving Suffering and Saving People", "Lingbao Tianzun's Wonderful Sutra of Saving Suffering and Eradicating Sin", and can recite Buddhist scriptures such as "Ksitigarbha Sutra" and "Great Compassion Mantra" that can save the souls of the dead. In addition, he has read
The classics left by Master Yuan Tiangang and Master Xuanzang include "Lectures on the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Liu Ren", "Book of Five Elements", "Yi Jing Xuan Yao", "Maharaprajna Sutra", "Great Bodhisattva Sutra", "Davipo
"Sand Theory" and so on, in the netherworld, you feel like a fish in water, and you can travel to various places smoothly.
The two traveled in the nether world for hundreds of years, visited the eighteen levels of hell, walked across the Naihe Bridge, saw the flowers on the other side, and walked a hundred thousand miles along the Styx River.
Later, Lu Shan visited Fengdu City and saw a notice posted by Yama Luodian to recruit judges, so he went to apply for the job, passed the test, and became a judge under the King of Chu Jiang.
After becoming a judge, he came into contact with the upper echelons of the Netherworld.
There are many big figures in the nether world, among which the well-known ones include Yama of the Ten Palaces, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Emperor Fengdu, and Emperor Dongyue. There are also some unknown ones, such as the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions and the Elder Styx.
Ancestor, Empress Houtu, Taiyi saves Ku Tianzun.
Especially the last three, each of them is an Immortal Emperor level figure.
Let’s not talk about the ancestor of Styx, he is the top god and demon.
Empress Houtu is honored as the Empress of Houtu who has followed the example of Tian and emulated the virtues and made great achievements in the world. She is the emperor of Houtu who is the founder of Nine Heavens Enlightenment and Zhangjie Tianzun. She is the emperor of Houtu who is the leader of Zhangjie. She is the emperor of Houtu who is the master of Jiuhua Jade Palace.
Earth Supreme. In fairy tales, she is on par with Emperor Tianhuang, Emperor Ziwei, Emperor Changsheng and Emperor Qinghua.
Taiyi's rescuer of suffering is Emperor Qinghua of Dongji. His origin is a bit complicated. Some people say that he is the clone of Yuanshi Tianzun, while others say that he is related to Taiyi Zhenren.
Lu Shangguan followed King Chu Jiang for three years and met many important figures one after another. Except for the ancestor Minghe, he met all the others.
However, even if we meet, we won’t gain much.
How can there be so many opportunities for in-depth conversations when we meet by chance?
The realms of the two sides are not equal. In addition, during the "Great Tribulation of the Divine Court", every immortal is in a state of agitation and vigilance. Not to mention that Lu Shanguan is only a mysterious immortal, even if he has the strength of the Immortal Emperor, he cannot
Communicate well with Patriarch Styx and Empress Houtu, and they may start fighting if they disagree.
Since he couldn't get a breakthrough by contacting the emperor, Lu Shanguan patiently acted as his judge.
In people's minds, most judges are fierce-looking, but kind-hearted and very upright. Their duty is to judge people's reincarnation of life and death. They reward good people and punish bad people. The judges are in Fengdu City and are responsible for judging all those who come to the underworld.
The soul of the deceased.
Since there are ten halls of Yama, there are ten judges. Among them, there are four most famous judges.
Wei Zheng was originally the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He was upright and upright throughout his life, and he once remonstrated with the king of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, after his death, he was named the Judge of Rewarding Good Deeds by the Emperor Yama.
Zhong Kui was also from the Tang Dynasty. Because he was not reused by the Tang Dynasty, he hit a pillar and died in anger. Because Zhong Kui was an upright man, after his death, he was named the judge of the underworld by the emperor Yama of the underworld. Zhong Kui's image in the underworld is as follows, wearing a purple robe.
, eyes wide open with anger, lips always tightened, not angry, self-defeating, businesslike.
Lu Zhidao, as recorded in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", once became close friends with Zhu Erdan. After drinking, he even changed his heart for Zhu Erdan. After Zhu Erdan changed his heart, his literary talent soared, and Qiu Wei won the Kui Yuan. Later, Lu Zhidao also became Zhu Erdan's wife.
Her head had been changed. After her head was changed, Zhuerdan's wife only had a red line left on her neck, and was praised for her amazing skills.
Cui Jue and Wei Zheng were close friends. He was an upright official all his life. After his death, he was appointed as the judge of the investigation by the Emperor of Yama and was in charge of the investigation department. Cui Jue's image in the underworld is wearing a red robe, holding a life and death fight in his left hand and seducing souls in his right hand.
Pen. He specializes in extending the lifespan of those who do good, and sends evildoers to ghosts to capture them in the underworld.
Although Lu Shanguan is the most junior judge, he, like Wei Zheng and Zhong Kui, possesses a copy of the Book of Life and Death.
The Book of Life and Death is a very high-level artifact, ranking second only to the Jade Disc of Creation.
The original copy of the Book of Life and Death is in the hands of Emperor Fengdu.
Emperor Fengdu, also known as the Son of Heaven, is the superior of the Ten Palaces of Yama, one of the Lords of Hell, and a figure of the Immortal Emperor level. Emperor Fengdu can bless the living with good luck and maintain the peace of the dead, so he often displays decorations at Taoist transcendence ceremonies.
His idol.
Although what Lu Shanguan got was a copy of the Book of Life and Death, the copy and the original are connected, just like a personal computer and a server host. A lot of useful information can be retrieved through the copy, not only all the ghosts and ghosts recorded in the Netherworld.
information, as well as information about having been to the underworld, drinking Meng Po soup, walking across the Naihe Bridge, and experiencing hundreds of reincarnations.
The Book of Life and Death can record up to a hundred reincarnations, and any more will lose its meaning.
A hundred reincarnations, from birth to death, what good deeds you have done, how many lives you have harmed, and whether you practice seriously, are all recorded.
In every reincarnation, what is lost is the body, inheritance, and what is continued and accumulated is the soul.
Cultivators are reincarnated again and again. As long as they practice seriously and accumulate more and more spiritual souls, they may eventually become immortals and Buddhas.
Therefore, the Book of Life and Death records not only mortals, but also the past cultivation records of gods.
Lu Shangguan valued this information very much, so he called Dong Xiaowan over to help organize the information.
"Although the information in the Book of Life and Death is not complete, and some information about Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings has been deleted, if you search carefully, you can still find some clues.
There are also some information about Immortal Emperors, Immortal Kings, Immortal Lords and Daluo Jinxian that have not been deleted.
You sort out the information about all the people above the Golden Immortal level. Then record the list of the exercises they have practiced. Also record the place where they rose up and what pills and Ganoderma lucidum they swallowed."
Dong Xiaowan took out the laptop from the storage bracelet, made a form, and entered the information in the book of life and death into the computer.
The function of the Book of Life and Death is similar to complex jade slips and jade plates. Its essence is not electronic information, and the stored information cannot be directly downloaded to the computer.
Although there are many people recorded in the Book of Life and Death, people at the Golden Immortal level can still be counted.
Lu Shanguan acted as a judge for two years without any rush, and Dong Xiaowan had enough time to slowly sort out the information.
On this day, Dong Xiaowan suddenly said: "Ms. sir, I found the information about the parents of the first generation old lady."
"Really?" Lu Shanguan took it over to check.
What surprised him was that the father Jiang Fangsheng and mother Huang Yingyi of the first generation old lady of the Lu family, Jiang Qiuyun, were not reincarnated after their deaths. This is because they both have a foundation in cultivation. Although their skills are not high, their personal accomplishments are not low. p>
The skill mentioned here refers to the essence and qi aspects; and personal cultivation mainly refers to the spirit, that is, the soul aspect.
Huang Yingyi is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and has made contributions to the Chinese nation. Therefore, according to the rules of the underworld to reward good and punish evil, she was rewarded after her death. Judge Cui Jue awarded her a jar of Yin spiritual energy.
Huang Yingyi absorbed the Yin spirit energy, surpassed the wandering souls and ghosts, and became a third-level ghost. Then she stayed in the underworld and became the village chief of "Youcao Village".
Youcao Village produces a kind of spiritual grass called "book grass".
Cordyceps is used to bind books in the human world. It is used to record articles in the underworld. Texts can be written on them and then swallowed by ghosts to help them improve their intelligence.
Three hundred years have passed, Huang Yingyi has advanced from a fierce ghost to an old charm, and her scope of management includes more than a dozen surrounding villages.
At this time, Jiang Fangsheng came to the underworld after his death. He was a lifelong professor, a litterateur, and a great calligrapher. Although his immortal skills were not high, the Confucian spirit of awe-inspiring righteousness had already begun, so his soul remained immortal after death and wandered around in the underworld.
After walking for a while, I finally arrived at Youcao Village and met my wife Huang Yingyi.
They stayed in Youcao Village, and over time, their skills gradually improved, and now they are ghosts and immortals.
Logically speaking, after becoming a ghost fairy, you can pass through the ghost gate and go to the human world for a walk.
However, we are currently in the Great Tribulation of the Divine Court, and it is said that it is extremely dangerous outside. Not to mention ghosts and immortals, even golden immortals, immortal kings and immortal kings will all fall, so they have been staying in the Nether World and have not yet had a chance to go out.
After Lu Shangguan learned the news, he asked King Chu Jiang for a few days' leave, and left Fengdu City with Dong Xiaowan for Youcao Village.
Youcao Village is located in the northeast, three thousand miles away from Fengdu City.
The ghost of Lu Shanguan is equivalent to a high-level ghost king, and is only one step away from the ghost king. Dong Xiaowan's skill is slightly lower, equivalent to a low-level ghost king. The two of them traveled by wind and air, and it only took half a day to arrive at Yi'an County.
Find Youcao Village.
The terrain of Youcao Village is flat and the village is not big, with only two to three hundred people.
Huang Yingyi and Jiang Fangsheng, who are ghosts and immortals, live in a large house. This kind of large house is not a brick and tile structure, but a simple thatched house.
Lu Shangguan saw the closed door, so he walked forward and knocked.
After a moment of pause, a slender girl with long braids opened the door and asked: "Where are you two from? Why are you here? My master doesn't like to receive foreign guests, so please come back if you have nothing important to do." p>
Lu Shanguan said: "Is your surname Huang or Jiang?"
The girl nodded: "Yes."
"In that case, we have come to the right place. Please go in and report that Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun's 26th generation grandson are here to pay their respects."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
At this time, a voice came from the yard: "How strange! A descendant found this place? Let him in."
So Lu Shanguan and Dong Xiaowan walked into the courtyard gate and saw a middle-aged woman standing at the door.
The middle-aged woman showed a kind smile and asked: "Are you really descendants of the Lu family? What are your names? I am Huang Yingyi."
Lu Shanguan quickly saluted and announced his name: "Greetings to the old lady. This is my wife Dong Xiaowan."
Dong Xiaowan also saluted: "Greetings to the old lady."
Because there was such a big difference in age and generation, Lu Shangguan had never seen Huang Yingyi, not even her portrait. He was not sure whether he was worshiping the right person.
Huang Yingyi smiled and said: "Come in and sit down. The world is so big and the sea of people is huge, how did you find this place?"
Lu Shanguan entered the house, but did not see the old lady Jiang Fangsheng, and asked: "Tell me, old lady, I am a judge under the King of Chu Jiang. I looked through the book of life and death and finally found you and the old lady here, so I came here." Huang Yingyi said: "The old man has gone out to drink and talk with some ghosts and immortals. He will not come back until You day."
Lu Shanguan asked: "Please forgive me, old lady, because it involves Lu family secrets and I need to verify your identity. Can you prove that you are the person I am looking for?"
Huang Yingyi smiled and said: "It's very simple. I published a paper on strong muscle protein in 2027, a paper on gamma bone protein in 2028, and in 2029..."
Dong Xiaowan took out her laptop, searched for Huang Yingyi's background information, and compared it with what she said.
