Chapter 193: The Judge of the Underworld, the Millennium Struggle
The contemporary Imperial Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty handed the blue fire lotus to Li Zhengjing, then waved his hand and left.
He is still of flesh and blood, and he is going to the underworld at the foot of Fengdu Mountain, preparing to die.
Previously, Yan Zun ordered an attack on the human world, and the Yin Court paid a huge price, demolishing the main hall, burying many Yin soldiers, and repairing the stone bridge.
At present, the imperial master carries the token of his master. When he goes to the underworld, he will take off his physical body, his soul will solidify, and become a ghost. He will replace Lao Zhou's previous position and become a ghost in the underworld.
"It's great to have a backstage. After death, you can directly become a ghost in the underworld, saving you hundreds of years of detours." The wall-hanging bird poked its head out and sighed.
"I was about to die. This time I directly took over the position of his master and served in the underworld... Judging from the attitude of Xuan Cha Ghost King and others towards Lao Zhou, his official position is not low." The Five Elements Creation Tree stretched out its branches.
Or put it this way: "I don't know how envious the old man Xuji is."
"In the past, the stone bridge in the underworld was broken, and the connection between the human world and the underworld was almost cut off." Li Zhengjing said in a deep voice: "After a person dies, he becomes a lonely ghost. He may not survive for a long time and is often wiped out. But now the stone bridge has been repaired and maintained.
The reincarnation of heaven and earth is not necessarily a bad thing in itself! However, now that the Yin Court is in chaos and wants to interfere with the Yang world, this stone bridge passage... has become a disaster."
"According to myths and legends, the Netherworld should not interfere too much with the affairs of the human world. Directly sending troops to attack the Yangworld would be a rebellion against the world." Hao Jian said in a low voice: "The Dongji Divine Court in the heaven has issued a decree, and the affairs between the underworld and the underworld have been destroyed."
The first imperial master of the Great Zhou Dynasty was able to ascend to heaven, which means that the connection between heaven and the underworld has not been broken..."
"But the forces in the heaven turn a blind eye to the underworld's rebellion." The wall-hanging bird muttered: "Is this a conspiracy? Or is it just letting things go?"
"Those rules in ancient myths either don't exist in themselves, or the heaven is in chaos and the order has long since collapsed." After Li Zhengjing said this, he waved his hand and said: "What is it, sir?
We have no time to pay attention, let’s continue heading north..."
Flying boat in the sky, continue to the north.
However, when the Great Zhou Imperial Master came with a token, the Yin soldiers did not dare to stop him and let him in. Until the end of the stone bridge, in front of the Yinshi Gate, no stranger was allowed to set foot.
And here he will abandon his physical body, leave his body as a Yin spirit, and enter the Yin court.
The first imperial master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because of the blue fire lotus, he was considered to be beyond the realm of ordinary people in the underworld, and was close to being an immortal.
Therefore, Lao Zhou's physical body was similar to that of an immortal, so he was allowed to use his flesh and blood body to enter the underworld and hold office.
However, the contemporary Imperial Master does not have this condition. He can only rely on Lao Zhou's token to take off his physical body, gather the Yinshen, and go to the underworld to serve.
But at this moment, when he was about to die here, he heard a conversation at the entrance to the gate of the underworld in front of him. His heart moved and he couldn't help but listen attentively.
Inside was none other than Master Xuji. His yin nerves were baptized by the aura of the netherworld and became purer, and he was overjoyed.
If he is in the Yang Realm, after his death, either the Yin God is condensed enough to become a lonely wild ghost, occupying a place and causing trouble...or it is because he cannot withstand the Qi of the Yang Realm for a long time and disappears into ashes.
Unless one can find the Heavenly Divine Stone to possess him and transform into a god of incense, there are only two endings.
But now that he is in the underworld, he feels that the underworld is condensed and he can still survive for thousands of years with the body of his soul.
"Those old guys in the world of the world, with the body of the divine stone in the sky, start the second life and incarnate as the incense god, they can only extend their life for a thousand years, and under the endless distractions of the incense of all living beings, they may not be able to maintain their own consciousness for a long time..."
Master Xuji secretly said: "And I am in the underworld, and I can survive as a ghost and god for thousands of years without the help of the heavenly sacred stone! What's more important is that they have no future at all as incense gods in the underworld... and I am in the underworld.
, will rise step by step, and soon become the True God of the Netherworld, just around the corner!"
He was very excited and thought to himself: "Old Zhou has ascended to heaven, which shows that the underworld is directly connected to the heaven... He has served in the underworld for more than ten years and has achieved the results he has today! And I am more talented than him and work harder than him.
If the horse is smoother than him, wouldn't it be possible to reach the sky within three to five years?"
Thinking like this, I heard the Yin Chai approaching in front of me, tested the quality of Master Xuji, and couldn't help but admire: "You can be so condensed when you first become a Yin soul, which shows that you were also an extraordinary person during your lifetime. Indeed,
rare."
The underworld governs the cycle of life and death. Between the heavens and the world, there are countless ghosts coming and going...most of them are ordinary people, who undergo normal birth, old age, illness and death, and go through reincarnation.
Among all living beings, it is extremely rare to be able to transcend the ordinary world and practice to the level of immortals.
In this human world, it has been many years since we were separated from the underworld. The stone bridge has just begun to be repaired. Master Xuji is one of the earliest batch of dead souls... And his Yin Shen cultivation is second only to the headmaster level.
The rest of the human world is already at an extremely high level.
"Ordinary souls of the dead enter the underworld and undergo reincarnation, but before that, they must pass various tests."
"Those who committed evil in life will be thrown into hell to be punished depending on their crime. After the punishment is completed, they can enter the reincarnation... Often they will be livestock in the next life. Even if they are reincarnated as a human, their blessings will be shallow."
"Those who have done good deeds in life, after being thrown into reincarnation, should have deep blessings in the next life, and those whose good deeds are fruitful can also be expected to stay in the underworld and serve...and if they have completed their deeds in the future and choose to be reincarnated again, their future in the next life is limitless.
."
"And you had such cultivation during your lifetime. As long as you never do evil or someone recommends you, you will definitely be appointed to the Underworld."
This Yin Chai said this with a smile on his face.
When Master Xuji heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "That's good. I have Lao Zhou's recommendation, so I can definitely stay in the Yin Court and serve."
He felt happy in his heart and thought to himself: "And I also have the body of a prince, so I can serve as a judge, so my position is definitely not low."
"It turns out that he is related to the old man, so I would like to congratulate him in advance."
After hearing this, the Yin Chao's attitude became more kind and said: "You are really blessed. It is very difficult for ordinary Yin souls to stay and serve in the Yin Court..."
He pointed to other stone bridges where dead souls were marching in formation into the underworld, being escorted by ghost messengers and scolding anyone who walked slowly.
But Master Xuji was treated very politely here, which was very different. He was very grateful to Lao Zhou in his heart.
Then the Yin Chao sighed with emotion: "With the quality of your Yin Soul, once you pass the test of the Yin Court, you will definitely have a high official position. At least you can be the leader of the Yin Banner, and have jurisdiction over hundreds of Yin Chaos! If you perform meritorious services in the future, you are expected to become
The shady commander of Hades has the power of a true god."
Master Xuji has met the Xuancha Ghost King, and he also knows that this Xuancha Ghost King, one of the top ten yin commanders, is comparable to a true god.
The previous generation of Yu Hua Xian Sect's headmaster was the one whose soul took over and became one of the three heads of the Ghost King of Xuan Cha.
He thought like this and thought to himself: "Although the Ghost King of Xuancha is stronger than the true god, she is not a true god after all... As time goes by, her soul will still decay."
Today's Xuancha Ghost King has a divine body and is immortal. The human, immortal and divine souls in his body have been rotated through countless batches.
Although the Ghost King Xuancha, as the evil commander of the underworld in ancient myths and legends, has a wide reputation and has spread all over the world. He has been worshiped by countless living beings and has great incense.
", the lifespan of the soul is longer, but after all, it still has an end.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but ask about the true God.
Seeing that he had a bright future, he explained patiently and said: "The Yin Commander of the Underworld is as powerful as the true God. He can receive the incense of all worlds and live forever..."
"But in the future, if you can continue to make great contributions and be promoted to a higher position, you can be canonized by the Yin Court and have the orthodox divine status. Then you will be a complete true god and will live forever."
"Besides this, the upper echelons of the Yin Court all have methods of cultivating ghosts and immortals. Those who have not made great achievements will not be awarded."
"This method is expected to use the body of the ghost to condense the soul and soar to the heaven... Although it does not have an immortal body and a Taoist body, it has the soul of the immortal family and lives the same life as the heaven and earth!"
When the Yin Chao said this, he looked at Master Xuji again and said with admiration: "Not long ago, there was a great chaos in Yin Court. Lord Dongyue Mansion was defeated, and all the ghosts and gods under his command were destroyed. It is the right time for Yan Zun to employ people...
It seems to me that based on your foundation, you can become the master of the underworld in at most three to five hundred years."
"In another two to three hundred years, if you make great achievements, you will either be given the cultivation method of ghosts and immortals, or you will become a true god canonized by heaven and earth. Your future will be limitless."
"Here's my little one, congratulations in advance."
This is what the bad news says.
Master Xuji was quite satisfied, and then he was startled again.
Something's wrong?
The previous headmaster of Yuhuaxian Sect died only a few years ago and entered the body of Xuansha Ghost King, one of the evil commanders of the underworld. How come his turn would take three to five hundred years, and he had to perform meritorious deeds during this period?
Moreover, it will take another two to three hundred years to achieve great achievements and hope to be given the method of cultivating ghosts and immortals, or to be granted the title of true god?

Damn it, you still have to make great achievements to have hope, not that you will definitely succeed?
Even if you really make great achievements and are given the method of cultivating ghosts and immortals, you still have to practice until the year of the monkey before you can condense your soul and hope to ascend?
This back and forth, after thousands of years, has been progressing smoothly... But by that time, my soul has already been completely decayed, right?
Then why is it that even the Ghost King of Xuan Cha is respectful to him more than ten years after Lao Zhou died? And Lao Zhou has also ascended to heaven this time?
Damn it, what part of it went wrong?
Just as he was thinking this, suddenly a ghostly shadow walked behind him.
Master Xuji turned around and saw that he was the contemporary Imperial Master of Zhou Dynasty.
At this moment, the Imperial Master has abandoned his physical body, and with the token given by Lao Zhou, he has condensed the Yin Spirit and entered the underworld.
And Master Xuji thought to himself, after all, we are all acquaintances, and they are also fellow villagers... This time he died a long time ago, so he can be considered an old man, oh no, he should be considered an old ghost.
So he planned to use his identity as an old ghost to popularize the rules of the underworld to the Imperial Master and talk about the direction of his future endeavors.
Then I heard the sound of gongs and drums deep in the underworld.
He was startled for a moment and couldn't help but turn his head to look.
I saw more than 10,000 Yin Ting troops coming in formation, wearing helmets and armor, and their weapons were fierce.
The first group of people, dressed in red and colorful clothes, beat gongs and drums.
The person at the head was majestic and came riding a horse with a solemn look on his face.
"Meet the high judge!"
At this moment, all the Yin Cha around him fell down one after another.
When Master Xuji saw this, he also quickly saluted, prepared the body of Fujun, and quietly handed it over to a place where no one was around... After all, this kind of bribery cannot be done in public.
Then he found that the Imperial Master did not prostrate himself, so he quickly pulled the Imperial Master's soul and asked him to bow to him.
But the Imperial Master was unmoved, which made Xuji somewhat pity this fellow countryman.
Thinking that the high judge would definitely punish him later, Xuji couldn't help but move to the side.
At this moment, Judge Gao waved his hand, and two ghost generals stepped forward from behind.
Master Xuji showed sympathy, and felt that the Imperial Master was too arrogant. Even after death, he went to the underworld, so why should he put on the airs of the Great Zhou Imperial Master?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw two ghost generals bowing down and prostrating themselves.
The one on the left is holding a set of Yin Court official uniforms.
The one on the right took out a divine iron token.
Master Xuji was stunned for a long time, and then heard Judge Gao speak.
"Old Zhou has only been in the Underworld for more than ten years, but he has already been recognized by us. However, you have just arrived and have to take over his position. It is difficult to convince everyone."
The high judge said calmly: "After discussion in the Yin Court, Yan Zun agreed that you will temporarily take over Lao Zhou's duties, and your status will be the same as the Yin Commander in the Underworld... We will judge again after ten years!"
He said calmly: "In these ten years, as long as you make no mistakes, you will be considered successful. At that time, Yan Zun will give you the method of cultivating ghosts and immortals!"
After finishing speaking, the high judge turned his horse's head and went deep into the underworld. He left another message and said: "Your ghost soul is considered a good thing among practitioners in the human world, but when placed in the underworld, it is not ordinary."
He is still too weak. Even if he temporarily takes over the position now, he may not be able to convince the public. He still has to take care of himself..."
"Before Lao Zhou ascended to heaven, he asked Yan Zun that when you succeed in practicing the magic of ghosts and immortals, you can transfer to a regular position and become the judge of the Yin Law Department."
"Yan Zun has already agreed to this matter."
As the sound faded away, Judge Gao's figure also disappeared into the depths of the underworld.
The Imperial Preceptor shook off his official uniform and put it on.
He wore a red robe, an official hat, and a belt badge, showing no anger or authority.
The surrounding Yin Chai all bowed down one after another with great respect.
"..."
Master Xuji was silent for a long time, then he tugged at the underworld and said: "Didn't you say that in three to five hundred years, I can become the underworld commander?"
The Yin Chai quietly raised his head, glanced at the Imperial Master, and whispered: "The Underworld is so lenient when it comes to employing people, and in another three to five hundred years, you will only have the hope of becoming the Yin Commander of the Underworld.
But it’s not guaranteed to happen!”
"Then what happened to him?"
Master Xuji pointed at the Imperial Master, full of dissatisfaction, and said: "I died a long time before him, so everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right?"
"But he inherited it."
The Yin Chao whispered: "If your ancestors also have official positions in the Yin Court, there is no hope of inheriting them..."
"Is there such a thing?"
Master Xuji said angrily: "Just because he has a father, he has stood at a height that I may not be able to reach in hundreds of years since he was born?"
"This is not birth, this is birth."
Yin Cha whispered: "Moreover, it's not a few hundred years... If it weren't for the fact that Yin Ting is hiring people, according to the normal process, you will not be able to reach this height if you stay in Yin Ting for another thousand years. At best, you will be doing nothing for Yin Ting."
If you work for thousands of years and make great contributions, when you are reincarnated, your blessings in the next life will be even deeper."
Master Xuji scratched his head, becoming more and more anxious, and said: "If I reincarnate, am I still me? What if I don't reincarnate?"
"Then the ghost will completely decay and disappear into thin air."
The voice of the Imperial Master came from the side, and he said calmly: "Xuji, just stay with me and work, and I will promote you in the future..."
Master Xuji was furious and sneered: "I died half a day earlier than you, and I still have to listen to your orders? Even if I, Master Xuji, die here, jump under the stone bridge and be drowned by the water of the underworld, there is no way I can
Follow your orders..."
The Imperial Master looked calm and said: "Ten years later, my position will be stable, so I may not be able to give you the magic of ghosts and immortals."
"..."
Master Xuji was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "What are your orders, my lord?"
"Not yet."
The Imperial Master said calmly, but he was also deeply moved in his heart: "Master Xuji is already considered to be a ghost, but it is so difficult to reach a high level... And I have such a high position as soon as I come here, all because of Master's blessings!
"
He has this status because he was the first imperial master of the Zhou Dynasty who ascended to the heaven.
The reason why the first-generation Imperial Master had such a status was because of that blue fire lotus.
At this moment, the blue fire lotus fell into Li Zhengjing's hands.
"This thing is very weird..."
Li Zhengjing frowned, then raised his head and said with a smile: "You are indeed still alive..."
