Xiao Jiang was talking when suddenly there was a tremor in the world. He looked towards the East China Sea and said with joy on his face:
"Here we go, the Lingming Stone Monkey with the influence of Sun Qing Yuanyang was born. Hehehehe... Western Sect, let you trigger this thunder."
Xiao Jiang has been staying here, but he has always been very concerned about the development of the outside world. At this time, it was the time of Huang Chao's uprising, and Sun Wukong in Huaguo Mountain happened to be born at this time.
The world was shaking. In the Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain in the west, a thin, curly-haired monk wearing a cassock had a smile on his face. In the Main Hall, a fat, fair and tender monk with a smile on his face said softly:
"The Lingming Stone Monkey is born... Venerable Guanyin, guide it. It will find opportunities in the heavenly secrets, but you must guide it better.
"Randeng Buddha, please go to heaven to help arrange the next things. Buddhism is in full swing and we can't make any mistakes."
At the same time, behind the Lingxiao Palace above the heaven, an old man with a white beard looked at a man wearing a nine-clawed golden dragon robe with a solemn face and said with a smile:
"Great Heavenly Lord, the monkey has been born. Next, you have to make arrangements with the gods in heaven to avoid accidentally killing the monkey, which would be troublesome."
The solemn man slightly raised his forehead, but at this moment Xiao Jiang was heading towards the Netherworld. Not long after, Xiao Jiang had arrived at the Netherworld's Yellow Spring Sea. He stood on a protruding cliff. After a while, a strip of light emerged from the Netherworld's Yellow Spring Sea.
Flying over, landing in front of Xiao Jiang, a woman wearing a royal crown appeared. As soon as she appeared, she said with a solemn face:
"What brings you here, fellow Taoist?"
Xiao Jiang said:
"May I ask what will happen if I destroy Netherworld?"
The woman was stunned and said:
"The Netherworld is a place where the souls of the dead gather for reincarnation. If there was no Netherworld, the ghosts of all living beings would have nowhere to go, and there would be no peace in the world, and there would be no way to distinguish between good and evil."
Xiao Jiang smiled and said:
"The soul has no place to go... If I say that the Netherworld does not exist at all, and that all things are destined to reincarnate and reincarnate, the Netherworld is just a passing scene. As for the distinction between good and evil, if you don't distinguish it during life, what's the use of distinguishing it after death.
The six paths of reincarnation are nothing but unconscious souls. The past and present lives are separated by life and death, and are meaningless to any existence. So does the Netherworld need to exist?"
The woman frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Jiang, shaking her head and saying:
"I apologize for my confusion. Back then, I opened six paths from the sea of blood to connect to the underworld. It was because I saw the wandering souls in the world miserable and miserable. Why did my fellow Taoist say that reincarnation is already destined? Could it be that all I did was just...
Is it God’s will to deceive people?”
Xiao Jiang took out a cigarette, lit it, nodded and said:
"Actually, you have already understood that the Six Paths are just a transitional stage of the Heavenly Dao. It can be present or not. Without the Six Paths, the soul will still be reincarnated. The extra Six Paths are just a hypocritical way to determine good and evil for the ghost to reincarnate. In essence, the soul is unconscious.
There is no difference between turning into maggots and mayflies and becoming a fairy millionaire.
Because the last life is the last life and has nothing to do with the next life. The only difference is the cultivator. The six paths target the souls of powerful cultivators. After the six paths, their powerful souls will be wiped out, thus preventing them from being reborn with memories.
For low-level cultivators and ordinary beings, all their memories during reincarnation cannot be retained, whether they have the Six Paths or not, so what meaning does the Six Paths have to them?"
Hou Tu was silent for a while and said:
"That means there are no six paths. Under normal circumstances, reincarnation is still the same, but some strong people are reincarnated with their memories, right? Wouldn't that have a greater impact on the world?"
Xiao Jiang smiled and said:
"Haha... you can imagine it, but Heaven can't think of it? Bringing memories to reincarnate is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Heaven. Although you can practice faster and become stronger with memories, you will be rejected by Heaven. Once it has an impact on the world, Heaven will
The backlash is quite powerful.
Therefore, the reincarnation of the strong will not actually cause any damage, and it also proves that the reincarnation of the ghosts is just a decoration and dispensable. The biggest consequence is to prevent forces from taking advantage of the reincarnation of ghosts to damage the soul roots. "
Hou Tu was horrified and said:
"The root of the soul...the source of the soul. Fellow Taoist, do you mean that someone will destroy living souls in the netherworld? Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"
Xiao Jiang sneered:
"If that is the way of heaven deliberately indulgent for the sake of the evolution of the world, do you think there will be divine punishment? Just like the emperor wants to control the world, he will deliberately indulge some sycophants in doing things. As long as his bottom line is not touched, he will turn a blind eye.
One eye, thereby ensuring what he calls balance."
Hou Tu was puzzled for a while and said:
"Is this why you want to destroy Netherworld?"
Xiao Jiang shook his head and said:
"No, I didn't come here to destroy Netherworld. At least it didn't affect me here. I actually came here to inquire about some things from fellow Taoists. Maybe you can help me."
Xiao Jiang has been unwilling to cause trouble for billions of years, and of course he will not destroy Netherworld during this period. He is here to prepare for going home.
When he broke through the Netherworld and traveled through Douluo, he did not return home even though his cultivation level continued to improve. The reason was that there was an existence in the Netherworld that he was worried about and feared, so he accidentally arrived in the prehistoric universe along the way.
He now has the ability to ignore the strong men of Netherworld, but he wants to go home, not destroy Netherworld, so he comes here to find out some things from Houtu, the theoretical boss of Netherworld, so that he can avoid a lot of trouble.
Hou Tu looked at Xiao Jiang curiously and said:
"What do you want to know?"
Xiao Jiang began to ask about all the relevant information about the Six Paths of the Netherworld. At the same time, she asked about the structure and background of the Eastern and Western Hells. Hou Tu also told Xiao Jiang everything she knew.
After hearing Hou Tu explain the situation, Xiao Jiang squinted his eyes and thought. Since becoming a god, there have been two more hells under the Netherworld. One was set up by the Heavenly Court, one was set up by the Western Sect, and the other was set up by Hou Tu during the prehistoric period.
established.
The three hells are located in the east, west and center areas respectively. The east earth hell and the middle earth hell only deal with ghost matters with peace of mind, but the eighteen levels of hell in the west do a lot of tricks in hell and the human world to deceive the world into believing in Western religions. However,
As long as you don't believe in the teachings of the Western Thieves, mortal reincarnation will still only enter the Six Paths from the Eastern and Middle Earths.
The Netherworld Path that Xiao Jiang broke through is also called the Gate of Ghosts. Once you enter the gate of ghosts, you will be separated from life and death. Once you step through it, you will forget your past life.
As long as you enter the gate of hell, you can only go to Naihe Bridge. After leaving the past in front of the Sansheng Stone, there are three roads to death. Those who believe in Taoism go east, those who believe in the west go west, and those who believe in others or have no faith go to the middle.
After arriving in their respective hells, theoretically everyone should be reincarnated after screening, but the West has done some tricks. The eighteen levels of hell impose various punishments on the souls before death. In fact, it is to torture these ghosts in order to modify their souls.
It's just the root. What's the actual effect? There's no memory of the past life. What's the use of torturing a ghost?
