In the vast history, there was an era when Shinto was very prosperous.
At that time, everything you think about can be seen, practitioners create myths, and myths often shine into reality.
Hairy gods are everywhere, and hundreds of ghosts are rampant.
Day and night are reversed, heaven and earth are confused.
It was a colorful era, but also a chaotic and confusing era.
Many rules have been broken, and people follow a completely different logic of life.
Today, although that era has ended, many myths have been passed down orally.
Of course, the reason why myths are myths, and the reason why they are passed down through the mouth and ears, rather than written down in history, and cannot be recorded in books, is because they cannot be equated with reality.
For example, there has never been a hell, and reincarnation has never been as simple as the myths say.
Of course there is a netherworld, but the netherworld is just the path of reincarnation.
The idea of six realms of rebirth, the idea of being a cow or a horse in the next life, and the idea of being too hard in this life and being a tree in the next life are just delusions of the Shinto era, and in the end they did not evolve into reality.
The more advanced your cultivation is, the more you can understand——
Death is death, death is the most complete thing in this world.
After the soul enters the netherworld, the final result is that it disappears. There is no such thing as Yama, no judge, no reward for good and punishment for evil. These are all the methods of Shinto monks, and they are no different from the puppets of the monks in this world.
All methods of resurrection in this world are based on retrieving the soul, reviving the body, and replenishing life span.
Jiang Wang didn't know it before, but after the arrival of the gods, he had gained relevant knowledge. Especially in Jixia Academy, he had gained a lot of supplementary knowledge.
In this boundless time and space, the real place of reincarnation is a place called "Ocean of Origin".
It is located in the abyss of the abyss, at the bottom of the abyss.
It is a place more profound than the so-called Naihe and Wangchuan.
All souls who fall into the Netherworld cannot resist the attraction of the Source Sea.
Not just the human soul, but everything in the world will be broken into the tiniest parts here and then reshaped. This tiniest thing, indescribable, is called "one".
The so-called Taoist saying "One is born with two, two begets three, and three begets all things." This is where it comes from.
The soul fell into the source sea, was crushed into one, was reshaped, and a brand new soul was born into the world and grew. This is reincarnation.
It's like the process of water in a river turning into rain from the sky. But this drop of water is not that drop of rain.
The past is usually past.
Of course there are some special situations.
For example, if the ancestral temples of various countries worship them according to their national power, they can be preserved in the source sea, and even their remaining souls can be recovered...but that requires paying a very terrible price.
For example, the elder of the White Bone Path named Lu Yan, after his wife died, the soul did not enter the sea of origin, thus retaining the possibility of resurrection. However, he did not know where his deceased wife’s soul went, or why.
The reason was preserved, and only then was he driven by the White Bone God for a long time. For example, when Jiang Mengxiong suppressed the passage between the two realms, preventing the soul from entering the netherworld, the possibility of resurrection on the spot was preserved.
For example, when Gu Huaixin, the elder of Jinghai in Diaohai Tower, set up an altar at Tianya Terrace, it was also to preserve Ji Shaoqing's soul, isolate it from the attraction of the netherworld, and give birth to a physical body... However, Jiang Wang had to endure the killing for days and nights, coupled with countless
Zhou Feng completed the destruction process in the sea near the source ahead of schedule.
Reincarnation occasionally occurs only under extremely harsh conditions.
For example, the wandering man in the past never entered the Origin Sea because of the special causal relationship of Yunding Immortal Palace. But he never gained a true new life. And the current Baiyun boy is an important person in another sense.
Plastic. is no longer one with the wandering man.
Cultivation is a process of fighting against heaven and fate. Throughout the ages, many amazing and talented people have been trying their best to resist death. The "deception", "escape" and "confrontation" of Yuan Hai are always the same.
Happened again and again.
Even Shinto in the past can be said to have been born because of this. In the process of fighting against ultimate death, people discovered new powers and later called themselves ghosts and gods.
But the final disappearance of Shinto may not be due to the cycle of natural principles.
In those fragmented myths and legends, King Bian Cheng is the sixth Yama, who controls the hell of wasted death. Those who are wasted in this world will enter this hell.
At this moment, Jiang Wang was wearing such a Yama mask and a black military uniform, standing on a cliff as cold as a knife.
I wonder if such a King of Bian Cheng can avenge the genius of Youguo who died in vain in the belly of a giant turtle for so many years?
Not far away, standing was Yin Guan.
A little further away, under a pine tree, the King of Ruptures whom I had seen before was sitting on the ground - judging from his breath, he was indeed the same one as before.
I wonder if he will recognize him. Jiang Wang deliberately changed his voice and restrained his breath with the Disaster Seal.
The team on the mission to Mu Country continued to move forward, while Marquis Wu An, who was on the mission to Mu Country, sat in a carriage and practiced behind closed doors. Outsiders could not tell whether they were present or not, as long as Qiao Lin cooperated well.
Jiang Wang and Qiao Lin exchanged a few words with each other, then came alone to meet Yin Guan, and then they saw the King of Revenants. Yin Guan seemed to take this one with him wherever he went, and he was probably more powerful than other Yamas.
…
But it doesn't matter.
Jiang Wang was not curious about these Yamas, nor did he care much about them.
On the contrary, King Wuguan looked at it for a long time, consciously or unconsciously, and scrutinized the new foreign aid hired by King Qin Guang a lot, but after all, there was nothing nonsense.
Speaking of the mask of King Bian Cheng, Jiang Wang has another level of understanding, which is based on its previous owner, Bi Yuanjie, the jailer of Qihai Prison——
Maybe an ex?
In that dark and heavy prison in Diaohailou, the jailor was also a prisoner, repeating a hopeless life day after day.
It was because of Zhu Biqiong's suffering in that environment that Jiang Wangcai always felt guilty for her in his heart.
Bi Yuanjie escaped from the prison where it was almost impossible to escape, joined Hell without a Gate, and finally died on the way to escape overseas. Somehow, he actually answered the word "death in vain".
"This name... is not very auspicious." Jiang Wang sighed.
His voice at the moment was very cold, the voice of a middle-aged man in his forties.
The sound that is simulated based on the sravaka scriptures has no flaws at all.
"Why is it unlucky?" Yin Guandao, who was also waiting, said: "The word "Bian" is a little above Xiacheng. Doesn't it mean that you want to break the Xiacheng sky? It's so auspicious. It's just destiny for me."
Jiang Wang turned his head and looked at him.
I don’t know if King Qin Guang, who entered Taoism through incantation, would be really auspicious if he spoke auspicious words.
Yin Guan shrugged: "Don't get me wrong, it's not specially reserved for you. Originally, I gave you a mask like a judge, so it doesn't matter. But the new King Bian Cheng died, do you think it's a coincidence?"
It sounds even more ominous...
"Temporary." Jiang Wang emphasized: "I only wear it temporarily."
"Don't worry." Yin Guan said with a smile: "There is no door to hell. Money and goods are both there. Children and old men are not deceived. I will never force anything."
In the entire Hell without Gate, everyone hides their identity and hides their whereabouts. He is the only one who swaggers and flaunts himself in front of others. He is the banner of Hell without Gate and has almost become a specific symbol in the world of killers.
"Everyone is here."
The voice of the Riguan King under the tree was difficult, but his fingers moved together very smoothly. After making a quick gesture, he clasped his palms in front of him, and then slowly opened them.
A silver-white light curtain opened from between his palms, like a huge square mirror, neatly divided into ten grids. In each grid, a masked figure appeared.
Even Yin Guan wore a Yama mask around his waist.
King Guang of Qin, King Chujiang, Emperor Song, King Wuguan, King Yama, King Biancheng, King Taishan, King City, King Pingping, King Zhuanlun, and the Ten Palaces of Yamas gathered together!
Jiang Wang silently looked at his "teammates" for the next action, standing with his hands behind his back in a cold manner and saying nothing.
This light curtain of the King of the Officials, I don’t know what secret technique it is. In addition to the sound and image, it also shows everyone’s aura.
Among these people, the one who impressed Jiang Wang the most was King Chu Jiang. When he was being chased by Haizongming, he paid a lot of money to hire a killer from Hell, and this was the one who showed up at that time.
Although his face has not been revealed, the chilly and biting feeling left a deep impression on people.
After contacting him today, he has a faint appearance of golden body and chalcedony, and has entered the state of divine presence. He is worthy of being the second-ranked person among the ten palaces of Yama, and is still alive.
Then there were the King of Wheels and King of Mount Tai whom he met while chasing Yang Xuance. At that time, Jiang Wang was mentally prepared to challenge them with a sword. When we meet again today, I don’t know if we are old friends.
After all, these Yamas, which have no gates to hell, are updated quite frequently.
"Everyone is clear about the mission. What is everyone's goal and how far we should achieve it? It's all very clear in the letter." Yin Guan stood on the edge of the cliff and said quietly: "As per the old rules, we will set off separately and meet at Youguo in five days.
…If you have any questions, you can ask them now.”
No one made a sound.
His gaze swept across the week: "Then the action begins."
The silver-white light curtain dimmed one by one until it disappeared.
Yin Guan has an innate handsome temperament. At first glance, he looks more like a hermit who is aloof from the world.
It was only at this moment when I saw him executing orders and prohibitions that I suddenly remembered that he was the leader of the killer organization with the most notorious reputation in the entire Eastern Region.
Taking a group of thugs with no taboos under their control and keeping them docile cannot only be achieved by relying on force.
Under the green pine tree, King Wu Guan put his palms together and put away the silver-white light curtain, but did not get up immediately.
Instead, he said in that difficult tone: "Chief, as a reward, in addition to the good things from Youguo's palace, I also want Zheng Chaoyang's body."
Yin Guan turned to look at him: "Zheng Chaoyang's body is naturally strong and is a good material for martial arts. He only practices military art for the sake of the country. He was promoted to Shenlin last year... You have a good eye."
"Ho ho ho." The warlock king said: "Chief, you know that corpses... are easily damaged. After a battle, they need to be replenished."
"No problem." Yin Guan said calmly: "But this time, you have to move your Shenlin body out. Hell has no door. It is fair. If you have excess contribution, you will have excess harvest."
The Prince's pupils suddenly shrank.
He had never known what fear was, and he felt a chill in his heart.
His magical power is eerie, called [Corpse Borrowing]. He can borrow the power of a corpse during his lifetime, including but not limited to using the corpses of others to repair his own stumps, and even... he can complete his realm by borrowing the corpses of strong people.
jump.
Don't look at the fact that the power he is showing now is only at the peak of the outer building. He can really exert his full strength and fight life and death. He is not like King Chu Jiang. There is no door in the whole hell, and the only one who can make him fear is Yin Guan.
And the fact that he has the complete physical body of the Divine Advent monk is his absolute secret! How did Yin Guan know about it? When did Yin Guan know about it?
What else does Yin Guan know?
"Ho ho, ho ho." King Wu Guan laughed like this a few times, and then said: "Okay."
Yin Guan didn't mean to care.
He just said: "Time is very tight, let's hurry up."
With a flick of his robe sleeves, he jumped off the cliff first.
Jiang Wang followed closely behind.
Then there was the King of Wan Guan. He was sitting on the ground, like a puppet with all its limbs out of place. He stood up uncoordinatedly, and then suddenly tensed up, like an arrow leaving the string!
There are only two kinds of cities in Youguo, the upper city and the lower city.
There is only one upper city, built on the back of a giant turtle.
There are thirty-nine lower cities in total. The names are from city one to city thirty-nine.
As Yin Guan said at the beginning, people don't give names to chicken coops and pig pens. They just mark them with serial numbers for easy management.
In the entire Youguo, all the dignitaries, wealthy merchants, and monks all live in the upper city.
The governance of the lower city is completed through the major Sasei families.
For example, the Su family that has now settled in Shangcheng was once the Zuozheng family of the 27th city of Youguo.
In a world with extraordinary power, there is no possibility for the lower city to resist the upper city.
"The prime minister of the country of Youguo has devoted himself to the country. The court of Youguo cares about the people, actively cultivates talents, and boldly appoints young people to serve as city lords of major cities. The annual evaluation of officials is open and fair. The worst in governance is the worst. The person who is not considerate of the people will be pushed out and personally dealt with by the great sacred beast that protects the country. The remaining city lords will choose the best and be qualified to enter the upper city. They will practice hard and attack the extraordinary.
To ward off foreign aggression and protect common people like us. The whole country is prosperous, getting better every day, and the people are full of hope."
In the public school next door, the teacher sighed with satisfaction: "What a wonderful country we live in!"
The crisp children's voices said in unison: "What a joy!"
Revisit old places.
Jiang Wang, who was already sitting in a restaurant in the 27th City of Youguo Lower City, could hear all kinds of voices in his ears, and his mood was hard to describe.
Today, in the 27th City, the streets are clean and the buildings are tall. Pedestrians on the street are talking and laughing. It is not difficult to see that their lives have been greatly improved in the past few years.
Jiang Wang still remembered the white-haired young man who once traveled here, and the confusion, confusion, and pain he saw in this city.
But now, just a few years later, it is already "extremely enjoyable".
So why are they here now?
Jiang Wang knew in his heart that this might be Zhao Cang's defense.
To deal with the amazing talent that slipped through the net, he chose to build a high wall with the support of the people.
He wants to obliterate the justice of Yin Guan's revenge and make Yin Guan's efforts in walking on the edge of life and death in the past few years meaningless.
You say you are seeking revenge, but you are actually destroying.
You said you want to save this country. This country is prosperous and the people are satisfied, and they don’t need your rescue!
