Chapter 257: Marquis of Dingyin, The Soul of No Owner
Shisheng learned from Guan Lingquan that he was sleeping in Shipanshan outside the capital. Of course, this time he was not in the prison, but in a barracks at the foot of the mountain. Before Guan Lingquan was in trouble, he took up his post here, and this hut was its mansion.
There have been too many things happening in the underworld in the past month. Shisheng, who just woke up, needs some time to slowly digest it.
So after sitting cross-legged, Shisheng scratched his messy hair like a chicken coop while asking Guan Lingquan: "About me? What's the matter?"
Guan Lingquan did not rush to answer, and turned to the door and shouted: "Brothers, my benefactor is awake. I'll bring you more delicious food! There is also wine, the more the better!"
After saying that, it sat cross-legged across from Yu Shisheng and first told him about the various reforms and changes in the heaven and earth. After listening, Shisheng was also very moved. He was happy that the underworld has finally returned to peace, and the ending of Zhong Shengjun made Shisheng feel a little sad.
The biggest enemy of a person may be himself. Even a person who is as powerful as Zhong Shengjun cannot pass this level in his heart. However, perhaps it is this choice that is worthy of Zhong Shengjun. Compared with those guys who are slanderous and disobedient and only shirk responsibility when encountering trouble, Zhong Shengjun is so real.
After Guan Lingquan finished talking about the changes in the underworld, he changed his subject and then said to Shisheng: "After the old monster died, there are probably so many changes in the underworld. Thanks to you, I'm fine, I won't be polite to you, so I'd better tell you about your affairs quickly. Do you know? A few days ago, Mr. Yan summoned me into the palace and left those useless praises. He announced to me the rewards from the underworld to you."
"What reward?" Shisheng asked with some confusion: "What reward do I need for a living person in the underworld? Will I reward my fate in my next life?"
"Stop teasing savoring." Guan Lingquan smiled slightly, and then said, "This life has not been enough. Who will worry about the next life? Cough. Listen to me, I told the Yama that all your affairs were told to the Yama. After listening to your experience, Yama decided not to blame your sins of living people for trampling on the realm, not only that. Yamas considering your great contribution to the underworld this time, he also decided to be appointed as an official."
Let me be an official? Shisheng blinked, then looked at Guan Lingquan and asked curiously: "What official?"
At this moment, the ghost messenger outside the door brought food and wine. Guan Lingquan cleaned up the small table and said to Shisheng: "This time, quelling the 'Yin King Rebellion'. Let everyone in the capital know your courage and means. You don't know that you are a hot hero in the city now, and the Holy Lord has been demoted? Master Yan knows that you are a charming talent, so he wants to strike while the iron is hot and conferred you a 'Dingyin Marquis', with a higher status than the four Yins. How about it, consider it?"
For all the ghosts in the underworld, this is a great joy, a blessing that no ghost wants to ask for. If Shisheng agrees, he will ascend to heaven in the underworld. At this point, he has the highest status besides the Ten Palaces of Yama.
Can Shisheng really agree?
Shisheng shook his sore neck and then said lightly: "I have received this idea, but people are self-aware. I am not an official. Even if I have done something for the underworld, it would be a bit over this. Brother Guan, just say it straight, are they going to be an official? Do they have any other purpose for me?"
"You boy is getting more and more energetic." Guan Lingquan smiled and waved to it. He gestured to eat and said, and when Shisheng sat at the dining table and picked up a piece of roasted pork, Guan Lingquan said: "That's right, the reason for you to be named a marquis. One is your achievements, and the other is your 'speciality'. You are a living person who has not appeared in the underworld for thousands of years, so Yama wants to keep you here."
To put it bluntly, the Yamas are also very conflicted about Shisheng, because there cannot be living people in the underworld. Because of this crime, Shisheng had already suffered a lot of sins before, and now he has done such a big thing to save the underworld, so the Yamas can no longer judge him by criminal law.
So the contradiction arose. If you want to let him compare his merits and demerits, they are too shameless, but a dead world needs a living person to save him. If this matter is about to be spread, then where is the dignity of the underworld? Moreover, as a living person, Shisheng knows too much about the underworld. If he is released like this, what will the impact of the living world be?
Kill it, it’s too unkind. Let it go, and it’s in conflict with the rules. So in the dilemma, the Yama made such a decision to be named a marquis of Shisheng and leave it in the underworld. It is directly reported that this is the legend of the new life of the underworld. When he becomes a real dead ghost in a hundred years, all the contradictions will be resolved.
Of course, the underworld is not a fool. The reason why he wanted to be such a great official is that he valued his ability and wanted to reward him, while the other is that he valued his character. It is said that the underworld was careless and friendly to Shisheng and did a lot of things to persecute him, but in the underworld, Shisheng still repays his grievances with virtue, which shows that his character is truly kind and precious.
Therefore, for the sake of emotion and reason, all the people in Shisheng can afford the title of "Dingyin Marquis".
Guan Lingquan said to Shisheng with some gloating pleasure: "This is a great thing. How can you think about it? How about it? You guys think about it?"
"What else do you think about?" Shisheng smiled bitterly, then took a big bite of meat and said, "I'm not a ghost, and you should know me. I'm just an exception to be able to get here, so how can I become an official here? Now I just want to go back to the world of the world to reunite with my friends. Although the underworld is peaceful, the world of the world is still………….”
Speaking of this, Shisheng was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and looked at the flesh in his hand thoughtfully. Guan Lingquan saw that something was wrong with his mood, so he said, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Shisheng sighed, then stuffed all his flesh into his mouth, but his expression disappeared from his previous evil spirit. He smiled bitterly at Guan Lingquan and said, "Although the underworld doesn't want to let me go back to the world, I still want to go back."
"I knew you would choose this way." To a certain extent, Guan Lingquan and Shisheng are the same kind of people, so after hearing Shisheng's words, Guan Lingquan laughed, then poured two bowls of wine and said with great enthusiasm: "Brother knows your character. If you don't want to stay here, I will send you away. When I send you away, I will return to the sutras. Come. I said before, let's have a good meal today! It's done!"
Shisheng took the wine bowl and drank it all. He did have any worries, but he didn't want to express it. Just like that. After three rounds of wine, Guan Lingquan's tongue began to tremble. He slapped his forehead and suddenly said, "Hey, look at my memory, I forgot about an important thing. Here, I'll give it to you."
While speaking, Guan Lingquan took out a round, roughly the size of a lychee from his arms. Shisheng took it and found that the transparent ball had a smooth body and could vaguely see a few fluorescents flowing inside. Shisheng asked in confusion: "What is this? What are you doing for me?"
"It's not what I gave it to you." Guan Lingquan, who was a little drunk, said: "It was asked by Lord Saint Lord. He thanked you very much, but he was embarrassed to see you... Don't you know its character yet? So I asked me to give you this thing. This thing is quite big, but the 'three souls' of the old guy Yin King."
The soul of the Yin King? Shisheng frowned and thought to himself, "Didn't that old monster die by itself?" Why does it still have a soul?"
Speaking of which, Yin Changsheng did detonate his spiritual consciousness, but we mentioned earlier that when Yin Changsheng's spiritual consciousness broke away from Zhong Shengjun's soul, he once shaped an incomplete soul to live in a short period of time. The bead in Shisheng's hand was transformed by that soul. Since the gods were all destroyed, the soul was only left with an empty shell, but the effect of the soul body was still there.
Guan Lingquan smiled at Shisheng and said, "You can take it for you. This is a good thing. A soul without a master is there. There will be no second one in the underworld. When you die again and want to be reincarnated, you will be a person with six souls in the next life. No matter whether it is cultivation or studying, you will have more than twice as much insight than ordinary people. It is not impossible to become a saint."
We usually talk about souls and souls, because souls are the basis of human beings. Although the cycle of life and death has taken away memories, the soul is an eternal thing. But at this point, have you ever thought about where the souls were born? Where did they go? Since the souls are immortal, but the times have changed, the number of living people in the world has gradually increased, so where did these increased souls come from?
In the underworld, the way of heaven gives a general answer: the soul is born from "clear and turbidity". Clear and turbidity transforms into the three qi, and is grown by a soybean under the Three Livestone. The Three Livestone is in chaos. The soybean is born from the bottom of the Three Livestone, rooted in the stone, grows deep into the land, and grows strong by absorbing the clear and turbidity of the heaven and earth, and has the ability to judge the world situation. If the balance of clear and turbidity in the world will surge, and the souls of all things are born from the pod of this soybean.
It can be said that the more peaceful the years, the more souls they grow from the pods, and the less turmoil there is. The soy vine connects to the bottom of the reincarnation well. Any mature soul will be actively sent to the reincarnation well, either adult or transformed into a beast. A specialist in the underworld interprets the Three Life Stone all year round, writes the secret book in the stone into a life and death book. After the first death, the underworld uses it instead of the Three Life Stone to judge it. This is also the reason why the Three Life Stone records the cause and effect of all things, because the Three Life Stone is a "record stone", which is itself closely related to the souls of all things.
In this way, the 'seed', that is, the soul, created by Yin Changsheng with its special power of ghosts and gods, is really very precious. Guan Lingquan said: "Don't worry, this soul is clean, and there is no master, and there is no record in the life and death book. This is the wish of Lord Saint, so you can accept it. Isn't it good to be a personal master in the next life?"
Speaking of this, Shisheng is indeed a bit unbearable if he doesn't accept it, but it doesn't take this thing seriously. As Guan Lingquan said just now, he hasn't understood it in his life, so how can he have the time to control his next life?
So this masterless soul became only another collection of his. Shisheng put it in his own package and then opened the monk's painting. The monk's appearance still looked so kind. Looking at the master in the painting, Shisheng's face showed a green smile again.
Master, Shisheng did not embarrass you, and the affairs of the underworld finally came to an end. Next, please return to the world with me and go back to that troubled time.
When he thought of this, strength surged in Shisheng's heart.
Let’s talk about the underworld. The news of Shisheng’s awakening was returned to the capital by the Yin soldiers in the camp. Yan Luo in the God Palace immediately issued an order. Three days later, he would officially grant the title to Shisheng and invite him to live in the God Palace of the Ghost Kingdom. Yan Luo’s imperial edict was so fast that he had not finished a drink. The Yin soldiers conveyed this matter to Shisheng outside the door.
Shisheng looked at Guan Lingquan and it seemed that he had only three days left in this underworld.
Shisheng came here because of accidental collision and by chance, he had been in this underworld for so long. Now that he is in a state of chaos, what's going on in the world?
When Shisheng thinks of this, he feels a headache. Think about whether the drunks feel that they are dead? If so, what about Zhiyuan and Xiaobai now? Whenever they think of these two women, Shisheng's guilt can't stop coming out. And Tai Sui, when he is about to go up to Yinshan, Master You Fang once predicted that the demon star will be born in less than half a month. Now he has been in the underworld for almost half a year, and Tai Sui demon star must have arrived in the world long ago.
What will the world look like now? Will it be.........No, it shouldn't be. Shisheng kept persuading himself in his heart: Since Hanshan is fine, his divination technique will definitely predict that I am not dead, and Qin Chenfu is no longer there, and he and the drunkard. And Yunlong Temple will never ignore the Tai Sui.
But how strong is the legendary "Tai Sui"?
Thinking of this, Shisheng couldn't help but become anxious again. While looking at the portrait in his hand, his belief in his heart became firmer again: No matter what, it's better to rush back as soon as possible!
In short, the situation was so fast in two days, and the third day was just around the corner. Just as the hourglass was reversed, a team of ghost soldiers in front of the palace left the city happily. They were about to take Shisheng to the Ghost Kingdom Temple to receive the title.
Early in the morning, the Ten Palaces of Yama gathered in the dark Hall of Yama, waiting for the arrival of the newly appointed "Dingyin Marquis". The Yamas did not transfer the "Yin King Rebellion" to the Heavenly Court of the God Realm. The Ten Palaces of Yamas also made the reputation of the underworld, because no matter what, Yin Changsheng's achievements in the underworld are indelible. The underworld was created by it and Wang Fangping. After all, the past was gone. For such a great ghost who could not define merits and demerits, it should be better to continue to deposit it in the legend.
The Ten Palace Yan Jun was waiting for Shisheng to arrive, but there was no news until the end, Cui Jue, who was supposed to be waiting outside the palace, ran to the Yan Luo Palace with a nervous expression, and knelt down and saluted, saying, "Report to the Lord Yan, the Marquis of Dingyin, and the Marquis of Dingyin............ are gone!"
After hearing this, Yan Jun in the Hall of Yama said, "Why did it disappear? And how did it disappear?"
Cui Jue replied with a sad face: "The Yin soldiers couldn't explain it clearly. Until yesterday, the Marquis of Dingyin was still drinking and chatting with Lord Guan. But when they opened the door early this morning, they found that they were all gone, and the doors and windows had not moved. There was a hole in the roof. I guess the Marquis of Yin and Lord Guan had left the capital! Now the guards in front of the palace are looking for the two masters, asking Mr. Yan to issue an order, do you need to add additional troops to find them together?"
How could the Ten Palace Yan Jun not understand what Shisheng meant? He ran away? What did this living person think? He still wanted to run away with such a big official? Is the world so attractive? The world is just so…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Guan Lingquan once told them about Shisheng's experience. When he thought of this man's experience, the Ten Palaces of Yama Luo was speechless at the time. Now that the turmoil in the underworld was over, he was going back to fight against the Tai Sui catastrophe in the world! Although he had never seen Shisheng, the Ten Palaces of Yama Luo didn't know how to refute the young man's decision.
Although there are regulations in the underworld, would they be too selfish if they forcibly leave Shisheng?
Thinking of this, Yan Luo said helplessly: "Forget it, just look for it nearby. This news cannot be leaked, do you understand?"
It is obvious that Yan Luo finally compromised with this guy who was kind to the underworld, and they decided to turn a blind eye. So, the title of "Dingyin Marquis" was still dead before it was implemented. After Shisheng left, Yan Luo officially informed the ghost people, saying that the hero who fought with Yin Changsheng that day was a monk from the "Sutra Listening Institute". Now that the crisis has been lifted, the monk did not want to be given the title, so he went to the three paths to become immortals and gain enlightenment.
Due to the particularity of the Yin King Rebellion, the chronicles of the Underworld did not record it in the later chronicles, and the story about the Yin King and Dingyin Marquis was not mentioned. Since there was no documentary record, a thousand years later, this matter only became a non-historical legend of the Underworld, and became a topic of conversation for a few ghosts when they were free, and that's all.
Just after Yan Luo made the decision to live a life of the world, Cui Jue outside the hall said, "Abide by the order! Lord Yan, I have another important thing here to report!"
"What else?" Yan Luo sighed. Is there anything that makes them feel more helpless than this life?
