Chapter 262: The origin of the underworld, the lion opens its mouth
The faint voice from the sky caused the underworld soldier's expression to change. He no longer dared to be unruly at all. In an instant, he was as docile as a sheep and respectfully led the three people into the city.
"What position would the judge of the underworld have in our world?" Tie Tang knew almost nothing about Jiuyouxia.
But there are two know-it-alls beside him, so he should know a lot of inside information.
Tianwen pondered for a moment and said: "It's probably somewhere between the county magistrate and the county governor. The areas under the jurisdiction of the underworld are different from those in the human world.
The territory of a local judge is very large, but it does not exceed the territory of a county. Generally speaking, it is still a bit majestic."
Tie Tang was even more curious when he heard this: "Do you two know how the underworld was formed?
If the theory of reincarnation of mortals and other living beings is true, shouldn’t there be more and more living beings in the world?”
"Why do you always have some weird questions?" Tian Wen scratched his head, but still explained to him.
"Reincarnation is true. People can turn into pigs, and pigs can turn into people. That's because of the six paths of reincarnation.
Compared with the ancient times, there are more than a thousand or ten thousand times more living beings today?
Not to mention other beasts, the number of us humans has indeed increased a lot.
But there may be corresponding restrictions on the avenue, and the number of creatures cannot grow endlessly.
What's more, there are also many who were beaten to the point of losing their souls, or who became lonely ghosts, wandering the world, and eventually completely disappeared."
"What about the underworld? How did the underworld of the underworld come into being, and who gave them the right to control the six paths of reincarnation?"
Tie Tang's question is very simple, but also difficult, because it points to the ultimate secret. Even Li Geng and Tian Wen don't know the ultimate truth.
But the two still gave their opinions.
"There are two opinions in the world!"
"The first one is that the underworld of the underworld is a world of its own. In extremely ancient times, primitive races were born. They may be called ghosts and gods, or they may be called the ghost tribe, the underworld tribe, or the Yin tribe.
The name is not important. In fact, it is the same as when we humans were born in the world. There is no difference.
They can also practice and become stronger. They finally discovered the secret of the six paths of reincarnation and took complete control of it."
Tie Tang nodded and agreed with this statement. After all, the earth on earth can raise humans, and the underworld can raise ghosts. It is not difficult to understand.
Li Geng continued: "The second statement is more bizarre, but there are some things that can be verified, and it is not an unreasonable guess.
Legend has it that in the most ancient times, there were almost no living creatures in the human world, the underworld, or the so-called fairy world.
The most powerful creatures in the world at that time were mainly true dragons, divine phoenixes and other mythical beasts, plus a handful of ancient human ancestors, as well as a similarly small number of other powerful races.
Wherever there are living beings, there will be struggle, and naturally there will be death.
After the death of these ancient human ancestors or other divine beasts, if by chance their souls are not destroyed and there is still a little bit of true spirit left in the world, they will enter the underworld and be reincarnated according to the rules of the six paths of reincarnation, or they will disappear between heaven and earth.
.
But they are too powerful.
Rejecting the power of reincarnation, he gradually regained some consciousness in the Nine Nether Underworld, and was naturally unwilling to perish.
But they have indeed died, their bodies have dissipated, leaving only a little bit of their true spirit, unable to return to the human world.
So the second theory is that the underworld gradually formed a system because of the unwillingness of these powerful beings.
Continuing to this day, it has become the underworld.
I'm afraid not many people in the world know the truth, because no one can live for one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years.
Those who were powerful and immortal at the time may have long since perished after such a long period of time, and they have also disappeared between heaven and earth with the truth of the facts.”
"Can no one live longer than one dollar?" Tie Tang murmured to himself, feeling like there was an extra layer of shackles on him.
Tianwen waved his hand: "Niubi's words are too absolute. As long as they are strong enough, I believe that the most powerful people will not be willing to die easily.
We cannot guess their methods, and it is not impossible to survive a dollar."
Li Geng did not refute, but just said: "There are too few people like that and they have no reference value."
While the three of them were talking, they and the underworld soldiers arrived at a court hall, which was like a yamen in the human world.
It's just that those standing by are no longer government officials, but many bull-headed and horse-faced figures, as well as black and white figures.
At the top of the courtroom, sat a judge with a full beard, a black official hat, and a green and black official robe.
His skin was blue-black and his face was pale. He looked extremely permeable, but compared to other 'people' in the hall, he was undoubtedly much better.
Judge Jiu Yao waved his hand to signal the hall to stop, then stood up and cupped his hands.
"We are distinguished guests. If there is any offense, please forgive me!"
Tie Tang responded with a salute: "You're welcome, judge, but we have other important matters."
"Inside please!"
The three of them followed Judge Jiu Yao into the inner hall and sat down in an orderly manner.
Arima Noodles brought three cups of dark tea, with traces of gray smoke coming out, and a slight odor, just like the smell of burnt paper money.
"Try?" Judge Jiu Yao looked at the three of them meaningfully.
Tie Tang, an expert in art, was bold and not afraid of the other party's tricks. He picked up the tea and took a sip. Zifu didn't feel any danger between his brows.
Immediately, he drank the dark tea in the cup in three sips just like a secular tea drinker.
The tea in the underworld is extremely strange, both cold and hot. The heat is not the heat of the human world, but a kind of dry heat.
And that coldness is naturally the unique coldness of the underworld, as if a ball of dead air passed through Tie Tang's inner organs, covering up all the previous heat.
"It's not bad!" Tie Tang reluctantly commented.
In fact, it really doesn’t taste good, it can even be said to be unpalatable.
But Judge Jiu Yao seemed to enjoy it very much. He slowly drank a cup of tea, chewed some of the tea powder carefully and swallowed it into his stomach.
"You three come here, what are you doing?"

Tie Tang told the story of the future, and wanted to ask Judge Jiu Yao to take action, notify the city gods of the nearby cities, the land, let them manifest their saints in the world, and notify the local government.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, this is a big taboo, I'm sorry that I can't do anything." Judge Jiu Yao shook his head after hearing this, and refused without even thinking.
Then he quickly explained it as if he was afraid that Tie Tang wouldn't believe it.
"The three private underworld masters have already violated two major taboos. Living people cannot enter the underworld, and dead ghosts cannot leave the upper world. This is an iron law set by the above.
The three of you appear here, and I have taken a huge risk. This is for the sake of the Supervisory Hall.
As for your subsequent requests for the city god and the land to be sacred in the human world, they also violate the laws of my underworld, and they will not agree to it.
I dare not interfere in this kind of affairs, otherwise if the matter is settled afterwards, not only will my official position be lost, but my life will be in jeopardy. I would like to ask the three of you to support me and not embarrass me."
Judge Jiu Yao spoke very pitifully, as if a guillotine would appear over his head at the next moment and decapitate him with one blow.
Tie Tang didn't know the inside story, so he really thought his request was too much.
But Tian Wen, Li Geng is a disciple of the sect and has a lot of knowledge. There is no way he can hide this from them.
Tian Wen suddenly stood up: "Tie Tang is the supervisory envoy, and has the supervisory hall as a guarantee. You are still resisting when I ask you to deliver a message. I think you don't want to wait for the underworld to interrogate you. Go to the supervisory hall for trial first."<
/p>
Judge Jiu Yao looked up at the sky and said calmly: "You can let me go to the underworld for trial. You must first produce the official documents of King Yama, otherwise the three of you may not be able to take me away."
He shook his body, and his whole body was filled with ghostly aura. He was not afraid of the precious blood of the three people, but instead had boundless coldness spreading, showing his own strength.
"This guy at least has the strength of the Mystic Realm of Divine Witches. We really can't defeat him." Tianwen secretly sent a message to Tie Tang, fearing that he would make random moves.
The cultivation system of the underworld is obviously completely different from that of the human world, but there are always corresponding boundaries in terms of the standards for dividing strength, which are not difficult to identify.
"It's obvious that this guy is a piece of candy. I'm afraid he just wants some benefits if he refuses to agree." Tie Tang thought of the day and night wandering gods he had seen. They were all extremely greedy. Even if they didn't do anything, they would dare to ask for money.
.
This kind of trend is definitely not caused by ordinary brats. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. If a brat dares to do this, it must be influenced by the superiors.
Li Geng stood with his sword in hand and took his family name.
"Li Geng, the poor Taoist priest, are you, the judge, trying to offend my Taoist sect?"
Judge Jiu Yao waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it, I can't afford it. Taoist priest, please don't blame me randomly.
It's just that whether you are an inspector or a Taiyi, you will eventually return to the underworld after death.
In our underworld, there are also disciples of the Supervisory Envoy and Taiyi, hahahaha~"
Judge Jiu Yao smiled unbridled and did not take the three of them seriously at all.
Yin and Yang are separated and do not govern each other.
No matter how famous he is in the world, he can't scare the officials in the underworld.
Li Geng was so angry that he was about to draw his sword on the spot, but Tie Tang reached out to stop him. He looked at Judge Jiu Yao without emotion.
"How much do you want?"
"What? I am not someone who takes bribes privately." Judge Jiu Yao waved his hands repeatedly.
"Stop pretending, tell me how much you want before you are willing to pass it on."
"Ahem, since the supervisor is determined to give a gift, I can only reluctantly accept it.
Let’s do this, this number!”
Judge Jiu Yao stretched out his palm and spread his five fingers.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Tie Tang knew what the other party wanted.
What these ghosts and gods in the underworld need is incense and longevity. If there are living beings with longevity, they will not refuse it, and may even like it more.
"Five hundred years of life? You are greedy." Tie Tang shook his head and turned to look at Tian Wen and Li Geng.
"Let's all join together and see how many there are."
But at this time.
Judge Jiu Yao laughed and said: "No, no, no, not five hundred years!"
Tie Tang's face turned cold and he turned to face Judge Jiu Yao.
"Do you want five thousand years of life?"
"That's right! As a supervisor, you can't afford a mere five thousand years of life, right?"
