The Lord of Styx is right, time can change a lot, and of course people's thoughts are among them.
This land belongs to both the dead and the living. The living cannot monopolize it, and the dead cannot monopolize it. Now I wholeheartedly want the living to regain the lost land, but what will I think about it in the future?
Thinking of this, I shook my head. I will talk about the future, but at least now I have confirmed that I am very sure of what I want to do when I come to Styx.
That's right, the matter of Leng Yubing and Thirty Thousand Water Ghosts just happened to happen to me. Even before I came to the Styx, I didn't know about it at all.
The Lord of Styx saw my strange expression and said with a smile: "You came to Styx for anything else?"
I didn't expect the Lord of Styx to be so good at observing words and emotions. I calmed down and said, "I don't dare to hide it from you, Your Majesty. I came to Styx just for you."
The Lord of Styx said calmly: "Did Mr. Chonghua ask you to come?"
I nodded: "Mr. Chonghua asked me to ask the king a question."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly solidified.
After a while, the Lord of the Styx waved his hand to Leng Yubing and said: "Leng Yubing, 30,000 water ghosts are relocating, things must be complicated, you go and deal with the handover first."
Leng Yubing cupped his hands and, hearing the clanging of his armor, strode out of the side hall.
Everyone knows that the Lord of the Styx asked Leng Yubing to leave because he wanted to talk to me about some secret things. As a commander who only knows how to fight, Leng Yubing knows that some things are not good for him.
After Leng Yubing left, the Lord of the Styx turned around. I was surprised to find that the Lord of the Styx, who was originally dignified and didn't care about anything, actually had a feeling of fear and uneasiness on his face!
Fear, guilt, panic, these expressions blended together, almost making me think I was blinded!
He took a deep breath, the water flow surged, like two whitewashes, then he waved his hand and said respectfully: "Please!"
Seeing his attitude, I relaxed a little and said softly: "Mr. Chonghua said, is your current name Mr. Shenshui, or is it the Lord of the Styx?"
Mr. Deepwater!
Yes, in the Dayu Dynasty, in addition to the twelve purple-robed high priests, there were also three spirits and four monsters, Mr. Water and Fire! Among them, the twelve purple-clothed high priests were the direct disciples of Emperor Shun. The three spirits and four monsters, Mr. Water and Fire, were surrendered by Emperor Shun.
All kinds of monsters!
Of the three spirits, I have only seen the gold spirit Liu Tieshou, but I have never seen any of the four monsters.
As for Mr. Water and Fire, both in terms of status and strength, they are all above the three spirits and four monsters. When I was in the Arctic Icefield, I once met Mr. Wanhuo in the Flame Mountain. At that time, he single-handedly shocked Chen Feng and ten others.
The two secret demons did not dare to come forward.
Even the fire and water evil-proof clothes and the true sun fire on my body are inextricably related to the Flame Mountain.
As for Mr. Shen Shui, I only heard his name but never saw him. I only know that the defeat of the Dayu Dynasty in the second life-and-death battle had a lot to do with Mr. Shen Shui.
But since then, Mr. Sham Shui has disappeared and has never appeared in the eyes of the world again.
If Mr. Chonghua hadn't mentioned it, no one would have thought that the famous Lord of the Styx was actually Mr. Shen Shui back then!
I stared at the Lord of the Styx carefully, but I felt extremely nervous. The question Mr. Chonghua asked was not a casual one.
If he answers that he is the Lord of Styx, it means that Styx will have nothing to do with the Yu Dynasty from now on. If he answers that his name is Mr. Shen Shui, it means that he has not forgotten his identity.
This is a choice for the Lord of the Styx. Should he choose to form his own line, or should he still admit that he is a part of the Yu Dynasty!
It was very quiet in the side hall, and even the surrounding water stopped moving. We stood opposite each other, and a full half an hour passed, but we still didn't hear an answer from the Lord of the Styx.
I sighed slightly and said, "That's it, I understand."
After saying this, I turned around and left. Since the Lord of Styx hesitated, it meant that he would never stand on Mr. Chonghua's side again.
Think about it, six thousand years ago, Mr. Shen Shui broke away from the Yu Dynasty and became the Lord of the Styx. On the contrary, the Yu Dynasty was wiped out. Except for Mr. Chonghua and a ruined Yu capital, few people could
Live until now.
Why would Mr. Chonghua's words make the proud Lord of the Styx stand on the side of the Yu Dynasty again?
Now that the question has been revealed, why should I stay in the River Styx and ask for trouble?
Just as he reached the entrance of the hall, he heard the Lord of the Styx suddenly say: "Wait a minute!"
I paused on my feet and said with a smile: "What? Your Majesty won't allow me to leave the River Styx?"
The Lord of the Styx said calmly: "You are a born son. You can come and go freely in the Styx. No one dares to stop you! I just want to ask you to listen to a story."
My heart moved, and I turned around and said, "The story your Majesty told me is probably very exciting. Please!"
The Lord of the Styx will not tell me stories for no reason. What he said is probably his own difficulties, and it is even related to why he wanted to break away from the Yu Dynasty in the first place.
The defeat in the second life-and-death battle and the collapse of the Yu Dynasty were a series of chain reactions triggered by Mr. Shen Shui's departure.
The Lord of Styx said calmly: "It may not be wonderful, but it is very meaningful."
"This story begins six thousand years ago."
Six thousand years ago, the battle of life and death had just begun. At that time, the dead invaded and all living beings were devastated. Twelve purple-robed high priests and three thousand minor priests fought bravely to protect the entire Middle-earth world like iron. Water could not pour into it.
At that time, Jin Jing Liu Tieshou was the ancestor of weapons in the world and was responsible for making weapons. Wood Jing Sen Wanli and Tu Jing Huang Buya were well versed in civil engineering and used ancient runes as the basis to build cities, fortresses, and transformations.
Yudu, prevent the dead from infiltrating.
Mr. Wanhuo is in charge of the world's flames, and Mr. Shenshui is in charge of the world's rivers and seas.
The four monsters commanded the birds, beasts, insects, and aquatic tribe. The entire Yu Dynasty was operating at full strength, and Wen Dian suppressed the national destiny. Its strength was countless times stronger than that of Fuxi's era!
Even though the battle of life and death was dangerous, no one thought that the powerful Yu Dynasty would be defeated by a ragtag group of people!
But war will eventually kill people.
When a person dies, a ghost will be born.
If it was the evil spirits from the Ten Thousand Demons Pit, the Yu Dynasty would naturally scatter their souls and kill them one by one. But what if they were Yu Dynasty soldiers who died in battle?
The living become dead, and the ghosts escape from the body. Should we treat them as heroes, or should we kill them as enemies?
This issue caused disagreements within the Dayu Dynasty for the first time.
Some people believe that people can only live one life, and everything will be empty after death, so that they can live up to their wonderful life. Since you die, your soul should be gone and leave your name in history!
There are also some people who believe that even though a hero dies, his soul is still there. Although they are both dead, they have no resentment and have heroic spirits. They should be enshrined and protected.
The two sides argued over this issue and even clashed many times. The souls of the heroes who died in the battle were temporarily placed in a temporary shelter and were not allowed to enter the Dayu Dynasty.
At the beginning, there were only a few heroic souls who died in the battle. Although there were still disputes within the Dayu Dynasty, it was harmless. Whether it was a proper arrangement or a temporary suppression of the seal, it actually did not cause any trouble.
But then the war became fierce, the power of the dead became stronger and stronger, and there were more and more powerful people. The more exorcism warriors of the Dayu Dynasty died.
Even the three thousand minor priests suffered heavy casualties.
The souls of these little priests are stable, and the chance of turning into heroic souls after death is greatly increased. Moreover, the little priests are proficient in ancient runes. With the bodies of ghosts and ancient runes, their strength is even stronger than in life!
After all, the creation of heroic souls attracted the great attention of the Dayu Dynasty. In order to prevent the ghosts of the dead from mixing into them, the Dayu Dynasty issued the first controversial order: all ghosts of the dead, regardless of their status in the Dayu Dynasty during their lifetime,
, no one is allowed to enter the land of Dayu Dynasty even after death!
Those who disobey orders will be suppressed forever!
When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat. How similar was the situation in the Yu Dynasty back then to now?
After a living person dies, he turns into a ghost. When I was in the underground exorcism city, many exorcists died at a loss and didn't know where to go.
If I hadn't robbed the Exorcist City and given these heroic souls a place to live, I'm afraid most of these heroic souls would be resentful!
"I died for Middle-earth! I worked hard to protect the people! Why don't I even have a place to live after my death? Does my death have no meaning at all?"
You must know that the difference between heroic souls and evil ghosts lies in whether there is resentment. Exorcists who die in battle are heroic souls and are respected by people. But if they are contaminated with resentment, they will inevitably lose their minds and eventually turn into evil ghosts to cause harm to one party.
If it were not for the placement of the Exorcist City, if Liu Guomin's death in battle had not inspired countless heroic souls, I am afraid that the China-Turk Special Case Office would have faced the same predicament!
But there is only one Exorcist City in the entire Middle Earth, and more and more exorcists will die in battle. Sooner or later, the Exorcist City will no longer be able to house these meritorious soldiers!
The Lord of the Styx looked at me lightly and continued to talk.
The exorcist soldiers of the Dayu Dynasty were never afraid of death, but they were afraid that after death, they would be abandoned by the people they protected. As soon as the banning order came out, some of the heroic souls beat the ground and cried bitterly, some committed suicide in anger, and their souls were scattered.
, and some were so angry and resentful that they turned around and left, preparing to seek refuge with the Ancestor of the Corpse in order to avenge themselves.
Of course, the Dayu Dynasty would not allow these heroic souls to seek refuge with the dead. Anyone with grievances would be led by a purple-robed high priest, with thirty minor priests as the backbone, and they would kill and destroy these innocent souls without mercy.
This decision finally made countless heroic souls who died in battle feel cold.
We died for the dynasty, but ended up like this? Why? I don’t accept it!
