"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Since you are so familiar with incense beliefs, you should also know what terrible power they contain."
King Yama said softly.
Xu Ping hesitated for a moment and said: "Incense is the carrier of the worshiper's belief and belongs to the power of all people. Mobilizing the power of incense is equivalent to mobilizing the power of all people. I naturally know this, but I don't understand how this is related to the Immortal Court.
What does planning have to do with it?"
The gods of the Immortal Court want to use all the people as cannon fodder.
But who would believe this kind of thing if told?
Even if Xu Ping goes out and publicizes it, no one will pay attention to it, the incense will still be strong, and Xu Ping may be scorned as a monster.
King Yama shook his head and said: "You don't understand what I mean. The incense contains extremely terrifying power. It can do anything, including separating the immortal court from the human world forever. This is what you mentioned before...
"
"Man no longer needs God!"
King Yama looked at Xu Ping and said calmly: "As far as I know, you can steal incense. Think about it, if you steal the incense from the gods and Buddhas in the sky, with such a huge power, what else can't you do?
Arrived."
"It's easy to seal the fairy court and never see each other again."
…
Xu Ping slowly opened his eyes and woke up from the bed. There was a faint sound of snoring in his ears. Everything in the house was as usual, and there was nothing abnormal.
From time to time, there were shady conversations coming from outside.
The three-inch little King of Hell, who was still sleeping, had no idea that it had just entered Xu Ping's dream.
But it has basically completed its mission.
A trace of King Yama's residual thoughts fell on it. The original intention was to let it go to the underworld, but it didn't expect it to take so long.
"Seal the Immortal Court and never see each other again!"
Xu Ping murmured softly.
But just now in his sleep, after King Yama said these words, his lingering thoughts disappeared and completely disappeared from this world.
It was at this time that Xu Ping woke up from his sleep.
He lay on the bed and did not get up for a while, but was thinking about the words of King Yama in his heart.
In an instant, he already understood what King Yama wanted to express.
It is not that man cannot live without God, but that God cannot live without man.
If he decides to plunder all the power of incense in the world, he can indeed do anything.
But he is also asking the question, is it necessary for him to do this?
After thinking for a long time, he decided to let go of the decision-making power on this matter.
It should not be decided by oneself, but should be decided jointly by every participant.
After making the decision, he immediately went to see Zhong Kui.
And what he got from his sleep also shocked the exorcist.
"Ah this..."
"Sealing the Immortal Court...this, this, this..."
Even the well-informed Zhenjun Zhong Kui couldn't help but panic, "Brother Xu, this matter is not something you and I can decide. It involves too much."
Xu Ping also understood, and sighed secretly in his heart before continuing: "How could I not know, so I want you to go to the underworld with me to see what the outside world is like, and then make a decision.
"
True Lord Zhong Kui had no problem, but he smiled and said: "If you want to know the outside world, why do you need to go out in person? Just wait for a moment and wait for my order."
Say it.
He walked out of the door, called the bull-headed horse-faced man and gave instructions, then returned and said to Xu Ping: "People in the underworld often want to contact their relatives in the upper world through dreams. They can also learn about their recent lives through this method.
Still a demand for the future.”
After all, Xu Ping was a coffin maker, so he had a general understanding of these underworld jobs.
But I didn't expect that collecting information in the underworld could be done in this way, which was an eye-opener.
…
Old man Wu is over sixty years old. He is a street vendor. His wife died early and he still has a son and a daughter at home.
But his only son joined the army because of these troubled times, and even now he doesn't know whether he will live or die.
As for the daughter, she is even more pitiful.
The son-in-law was a doctor from the same town, and his family life was happy. However, he did not expect that the officials would take a fancy to his wonderful rejuvenation skills, and he was also forcibly recruited to join the army as a doctor.
Poor the newly born grandson, he has never even met his biological father.
After a year like this, the person did not come back, but only an urn and a few yuan were sent back, leaving the orphan and widowed mother helpless.
At such an old age, Mr. Wu still sells gadgets on the streets to maintain his family's livelihood.
A good family was torn apart because of these troubled times.
He just wanted to live peacefully, but life forcefully pulled his family into a whirlpool from which they could never come out.
This day.
He dragged his exhausted body and lay on the cold couch. Only at this moment could he feel a moment of comfort and peace.
But I didn't want to, this night.
He dreamed of a person, his missing son, who had died on the battlefield, crying bitterly in front of him, complaining about his unfilial piety.
Even in his dream, the old man couldn't help but shed tears, complaining about the conflicts in the troubled times. From the beginning to the end, it was the common people who suffered.
Like this, the story that the orphans and widowed mothers were looking forward to it, but tonight they found out that the person they were looking forward to had already died, kept spreading to Xu Ping and Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui stayed in the underworld and had already seen too much sadness. His mood swings were not big, but he also vaguely made his own choices.
He looked at Xu Ping, who had a deep look on his face, and said nothing.
Xu Ping was silent for a moment and said slowly: "It seems that we have already made a decision in our hearts."
The troubled times will eventually end, but no one among the common people hopes that war will start again.
If there was a country like Japan in the world, it would naturally be the first to attack.
But just for the plan of dominating the Immortal Court, it was a waste of lives, but no one was willing to do it.
Not to mention, it's for those illusory, aloof gods who don't understand the suffering of the world.
…
In the following period of time, Xu Ping kept going back and forth between the underworld and the earth.
True Lord Zhong Kui even bought him a huge real estate estate in Pingcheng, which left Xu Ping speechless.
No one is dead yet.
I'm afraid he's the only one who owns real estate in the underworld. It's not because he wants to move in early, but it's also a bit weird to move in late.
Zhenjun Zhongkui has also been teaching the three-inch little King of Hell during this period. After all, what he is about to do now is a matter of life or death.
Of course, the first thing is to teach it to learn to absorb incense as soon as possible and strengthen itself.
In the underworld, the incense of King Yama and the incense of the entire underworld can be collected by King Yama at will.
King Yama disappeared for a long time, and the incense was about to overflow. At this time, it was just time for the little King of Yama to harvest it. But when it grew into its own body, it looked like a coquettish and angry girl, which was very different from the inherent image of King Yama.
.
Fortunately, because she can mobilize the power of incense, most of the Yin gods in the underworld also recognize her.
In the underworld, skin is not as important as in the human world.
And Xu Ping was not idle during this period. He went out to the underworld from time to time to check the situation in the city to see if there were a large number of ninjas coming back.
During this time, he kept in touch with Uncle Jiu and did three things.
First, he revealed his plan and wanted to solve the Japanese Ninjas once and for all.
His method was a bit cruel, it was nothing more than using the infection technique he had acquired previously to specifically target the unique energy within the bodies of the Japanese ninjas and eliminate these energies to nothing.
And as these energies disappear, the Japanese ninjas will die instantly.
Therefore, the entire Northeastern territory today is just a bait, a plan to invite you to enter the urn... no, to kill the turtle in the urn.
It is difficult to create energy that is specifically targeted at Japanese ninjas and can infect each other, but fortunately there are some prisoners of Japanese ninjas who can be used by him.
In this way, he finally succeeded a month later. Next, he just waited quietly for the arrival of those Japanese ninjas.
The second thing is to restrain the statues of gods and Buddhas all over the sky and place them everywhere to rob them of their original incense.
This is also the key force that wants to seal the Immortal Court.
If the Immortal Court had not been closed, Xu Ping's move would undoubtedly be an enemy of the gods and Buddhas in the sky, but now he has no such worries.
However, for the sake of safety, he still left a clone in the place where the incense was at its peak, just in case.
The third thing was to go back to Renjia Town, specially make many giant bronze coffins, and send them to various places, including overseas, through their own transport ships.
If these giant bronze coffins were opened, it would be something that would sweep the entire world.
But that was what happened after Xianting was successfully sealed.
…
"Brother Xu, according to what King Yama said, if you pass through this stone gate, you will reach the Immortal Courtyard!" Zhenjun Zhongkui looked at the huge stone gate in front of him, and suddenly felt inexplicably nervous in his heart.
Xu Ping watched for a while, also looking solemn.
The two of them are currently at the top of Kunlun Mountain.
The cold wind around them was like a knife, but Xu Ping and Zhenjun Zhongkui were not ordinary cultivators after all, so they could endure it and would not be affected by it.
In front of them, the ancient and huge stone gate coincided with the one in King Yama's memory.
It is not easy to pass through this stone gate.
King Yama finally fell down after passing through the stone gate, where he came into infinite contact with the Immortal Gate of the Immortal Courtyard.
And what they want to do is not to enter the Immortal Gate, but to isolate the Immortal Court, and from then on, heaven and humans are separated.
The Immortal Courtyard is not outside the Nine Heavens or above the clouds, but is another space that has been carved out.
If you want to enter this space, in the past, you only need to practice humanity to a certain level, and then you can pass through the constraints of space and enter the fairy court.
But now the immortality in the human world has been cut off, and no one can peek into the fairyland anymore.
"I'll try it first."
Xu Ping's body moved slightly, then disappeared on the spot, heading towards the stone gate. Unexpectedly, he crossed the stone gate smoothly, but when he turned around, he found Zhongkui Zhenjun standing over there. Everything was at a loss.
No change.
"There should be some other methods. The reason why King Yama was able to pass through that day may be because he is the God of Hades in the underworld." Zhong Kui Zhenjun said.
He needed to pass through this stone door to enter another space. Xu Ping originally thought there would be some obstruction, but unexpectedly, he needed other methods to enter this space.
According to what the little King of Hell said before, King Yama's process of crossing the stone gate was extremely smooth and he walked straight in.
While Zhong Kui was speaking, he also crossed the stone gate, but like Xu Ping, he did not enter the real fairy court space.
They retreated slowly, Zhong Kui Zhenjun said: "Things are not as simple as we thought..."
Since King Yama can pass by smoothly, it means that they are just lacking something compared to King Yama.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Ping said: "Master Zhenjun, I wonder what the difference is between you and King Yama?"
King Yama, who is also the underworld god, can pass through smoothly, but he cannot. Perhaps the key to the problem lies in the difference between the two of them.
Zhenjun Zhongkui thought for a moment and said: "There is indeed a big difference between me and King Yama, but if we say the biggest difference between us, it should be that he is a god canonized by the Immortal Court, and I am not
.”
Xu Ping silently stared at Zhong Kui, who felt a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, "Brother Xu, why are you looking at me like this?"
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Let me tell you, the biggest difference between you and King Yama is that his body is full of pure divine power, while your body also has mixed power of ghosts."
"What's the meaning?"
Zhong Kui Zhenjun asked.
Xu Ping continued: "It means that he is the body, but you are not."
Just a stone gate, it is impossible to know which one is a canonized god and which one is not, just like unlocking the face.
Hearing what Xu Ping said, Zhong Kui's eyes lit up and he said: "If this is the case, that is to say, only the divine body can pass through this stone door and contact the space where the Immortal Court is, then as long as we disguise ourselves as the divine body, we can
You can enter."
Xu Ping nodded: "Theoretically, this is the case... Of course, this is just my guess."
For others, trying to disguise a divine body may be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
But for Xu Ping, it was easy.
I saw a ball of divine power surging in his palm, and in an instant, it turned into a huge bubble, completely enveloping the two of them.
"That'll be fine?"
Zhenjun Zhongkui asked in astonishment.
He also has divine power in his body, but it is not pure. Seeing Xu Ping perform this technique, he actually felt a little admiration.
"of course not."
Xu Ping spoke, and the bubbles instantly surged over and clung to the two bodies.
Immediately, the two people's whole bodies were clinging to each other and covered by colorful divine power, as if they were integrated into one body.
But this time when they walked through the stone gate, their eyes were dazzled. When the scene was frozen, it was as if they were standing on the clouds in the sky.
In front of him was the huge golden door that King Yama remembered.
