Although the tripod looked huge, it was very old. The tripod was covered with scratches and there were some incomprehensible patterns on it.
An old man took a broom and swept the floor gently. He didn't know how many years he had been sweeping. A young man followed closely behind him, and the young man helped sprinkle water.
"master."
The young man said dissatisfied: "We have guarded this place for so many years, and not a single ghost has come here, why do we still guard it?"
"There are so many positions in the underworld, how can there be such idle positions? Master, are we abandoned idlers?"
The young man sighed.
Do you seem worried about your future?
The old man smiled.
He looked at the young man kindly.
"Although we have many positions in the underworld, there is no place more important than here. Our place seems peaceful, but in fact are the twelve Yin Lords watching here all the time?"
Lord Yin?
The young man was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground.
Lord Yin, that is the supreme ruler of the entire underworld, no, he should be the lord of heaven and earth!
All living beings in the world depend on Lord Yin's grace for survival. When Lord Yin is angry, he can lay down millions of corpses and destroy dynasties in the world.
Twelve Yin Lords are watching here all the time. Is there anything more terrifying than this?
The young man looked at the master suspiciously.
The master must have lied to me?
How could Lord Yin, such a noble being, stare at this secluded place all day long?
The master is such a humble old ghost. If Lord Yin really stares at this place all day long, how can the master be so calm and calm?
Haha, the master is lying!
The old man suddenly stopped sweeping the floor and looked at the ancient cauldron quietly, lost in thought.
"Xiao Bai, do you know what that big cauldron is used for?"
The boy named Xiaobai shook his head.
He had always thought that the cauldron was an abandoned object, otherwise it would not have been abandoned in such a secluded place?
"This tripod is called the Devil's Sealing Cauldron."
The old man's voice was loud and clear.
Sealing the Demonic Cauldron?
What kind of demon is sealed?
Young Xiaobai looked at his master in confusion: "Our underworld has governed the world for so many years, how can there be any monsters!"
The old man smiled faintly.
"That is a holy beast, its body is pitch black, its four feet are on flames, it can swallow mountains and rivers with its mouth, and it can trample through thousands of ghosts and gods with its feet, and,..."
The old man suddenly changed the subject.
"That holy beast is still the natural nemesis of our Yin God. Even Yin Lord is not its opponent."
The young boy clicked his tongue.
"So, the one sealed in the cauldron is the powerful holy beast?"
The young boy, Xiaobai, thought that if the holy beast was so powerful, the underworld gods must have paid a huge price to seal it, right?
I really want to see it with my own eyes.
The great scene where the Yin gods sealed the sacred beast!
It must be very shocking.
"Yes and no."
The old Yin Shen let out a long sigh.
He raised his head slightly, looking at the tragic battlefield with a deep gaze that seemed to be able to see through tens of millions of years.
"It's a pair of pitch black armor."
The old man looked at the cauldron and shook his head sadly.
"Now there is only a pair of pitch-black armor sealed in the cauldron. It's all a calamity!"
ah?
The young boy Xiaobai looked at the old man with great confusion. Wasn't he just talking about the powerful holy beast?
Why did he suddenly turn to the dark armor again? Master's thoughts were too fast.
"Could it be the armor worn by the holy beast?"
"wrong."
The old man touched the young boy Xiaobai's head and sighed: "How can a holy beast wear armor? It's a human armor."
The old man spoke eloquently.
…
We ghosts and ghosts naturally feed on humans. We have been keeping humans in captivity for thousands of years.
We provide humans with protection, food, and a safe place to live.
Human beings give their bodies and souls to us to eat.
Human beings are too weak to survive alone in this world. If it were not for the protection of our Yinshen, they would have been eaten up by all kinds of monsters.
How can it still reproduce for so many years?
But there are ungrateful and despicable human beings who keep resisting, and that person is one of them.
That person's name is taboo in our underworld, and no one dares to mention it. Gradually, not many Yin gods know about it.
It's your generation.
It was completely lost in history.
Even the old man doesn't know his name.
I only know his deeds.
That person is very powerful and has the power to destroy the underworld. How can I, the eighty-one Yin Lords in the underworld, sit idly by and ignore him?
Then, he ordered thousands of Yin gods to destroy him.
The two sides fought fiercely for three months, and we Yinshen paid an extremely heavy price. Countless heroes sacrificed their lives generously, and finally severely wounded that man.
victory is in sight.
Suddenly, the holy beast appeared.
Such a powerful holy beast actually regards human beings as its master, and it roars shrilly.
I use my body
Protect my Lord from all evil
I give my soul
Follow my Lord through mountains and rivers
Even though the heaven and earth grow old and the sun and moon fall
My will is immortal
…
Then, the holy beast resolutely disbanded its body, its body transformed into a pair of pitch-black armor, and its tail transformed into a pitch-black halberd.
That man, wearing a pitch-black battle armor and holding a pitch-black halberd, slaughtered gods and ghosts all the way to the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and even reached the Yin Temple.
There are eighty-one Yin Lords in my underworld, but only twenty-four of them have been killed.
The eyes of the old Yin God are dim, as if he is grieving for the Yin God who died so generously?
Also seems to be sighing for Yin Jun who died tragically?
later.
Twelve Yin Lords attracted the fire of hell, burned their divine bodies, and built a great cauldron. They suppressed and sealed the man.
…
The old man stroked the big cauldron.
sigh.
However, the young boy Xiaobai couldn't understand the old man's mood at this moment. He clapped his hands happily and said, "This is so good. The world will be pure from now on."
The old Yin Shen shook his head and sighed again.
"How can it be that simple?"
"After sealing and suppressing that person, the remaining Yin Lords worked together to use great magic to draw the hellfire into the cauldron for refining."
"It took three years to refine, but it's a pity..."
"What's the pity?"
When the young man Xiaobai heard the most important part, the old man stopped abruptly, which made the young man anxious and almost jumped up.
"On the day the cauldron was opened, there was only a pair of pitch-black armor and a pitch-black halberd left in the cauldron. The man was gone." Old Yin Shen smiled bitterly.
"It turns out that the holy beast is not afraid of flames. Even the fire of hell cannot hurt it at all. I don't even know what vicious methods it used. Its soul escaped with the man."
The remaining Yin Lords have no choice but to temporarily seal and suppress the armor and halberd, and other long-term considerations will be made.
After hearing this, the young boy Xiaobai shook his head.
"So, that person is a hidden danger in our underworld. After so many years, I don't know if that person has died?"
"No, that person has always existed."
There was once a prophecy secretly circulated in our underworld.
No matter how many years or generations pass, that sacred beast will definitely find its owner.
