Chapter 128: Give the Underworld to you
Liu Bai said with some amusement: "Didn't the Empress plan with the Western Saint Cunti this time? Didn't he tell the Empress that I no longer participate in the battle for the fruit throne of the Earth Emperor, the Human Emperor and the Five Emperors?"
Empress Pingxin nodded and said seriously: "Sage Cunti has indeed mentioned this to me. However, fellow Taoists' love for the human race is no less than that of the saint Nuwa. I am afraid that the witch clan will intervene in the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Human Race will make fellow Taoists unhappy, so I asked fellow Taoists to come here to explain clearly."
Liu Bai smiled, "Then I have to thank the Empress for looking down on me."
Empress Pingxin shook her head and smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist does not need to be humble. Regardless of whether the fellow Taoist will interfere in the future, I just hope that this matter will not affect the friendship between you and me."
“That’s natural.”
Liu Bai smiled and said, "But I still want to advise the Empress that even if the Western religion secretly handles this matter, the calculation will not be too great. Also, the Empress conspires with the Saint Cunti, so we have to think more about everything."
Empress Pingxin nodded and sighed, "If there was no other way out for the witch clan, I would not have been an alliance with him. You know, I cannot leave the underworld, nor can I directly participate in this matter, I can only rely on the power of the Western religion. Alas... I just hope I am not trying to get a tiger."
After saying that, she looked at Liu Bai and said, "There is another small thing I want to ask fellow Taoists for help."
"Please tell me, Empress."
Empress Pingxin waved her hand, and a huge and heavy Taoist rhyme filled with it.
Liu Bai did not resist and allowed the Taoist rhyme to wrap himself up.
In an instant, the scenery in front of him changed, and the two of them instantly arrived in front of a tall city gate.
The city gate is about ten thousand feet high, and the two pitch-black gates are like two steep peaks, with wisps of gray yin lingering on it, making it look particularly mysterious and magnificent.
Liu Bai's eyes swept over and saw the three big words "Ghost Gate" engraved on the plaque above the city gate.
In the city gate, densely packed transparent souls walked towards the gate of hell. Passing through this gate, you have officially embarked on the road to reincarnation.
This is the bridgehead of the underworld's long Huangquan Road.
All living beings will be led by the rules of the tunnel after they are exhausted or die of life, and then they will enter the underworld.
After taking a look at him for a moment, Liu Bai said in confusion: "What are the empresses who took me to the gate of hell?"
Empress Pingxin said: "When the underworld was established, fellow Taoists also made great efforts. The Yin Crazy responsibilities in the underworld were also served by the Asura clan created by fellow Taoists. However, now the prehistoric creatures are becoming more ordinary, and countless wandering souls are being led into the underworld every day. Those Asura clans alone are already too busy."
"So that's how it is."
Liu Bai nodded, and only heard one meaning from Empress Pingxin's words: the underworld is short of staff!
He looked around and saw that there were only three or five hundred Asura Yinshi garrisons in the huge gate of hell.
Compared with the vast number of wandering souls, these Asuras are like grains on the wild grass.
If it weren't for the unique Taoist rhyme of the underworld floating above their heads, it would be difficult to find it.
Empress Pingxin used her magical powers to hide the figures of the two, and then entered the Ghost Gate with Liu Bai toward Youdu.
I saw that on the road ahead of me, there were gradually regaining consciousness during my lifetime. Some honest wandering souls continued to walk forward with grief, while the dishonest wandering souls roared and turned into various evil spirits and rushed out, wanting to return to the world. Some evil spirits even took the initiative to attack other wandering souls, wanting to swallow them to strengthen themselves.
Once the Asura Yinmao, who was stationed along the way, he immediately shook his whip and stopped him. When he encountered someone who dared to resist, he would whip him directly and beat them to annihilation in an instant.
The worst of these Asuras have the cultivation level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, which is not something that these evil ghosts can resist.
However, although Asura's Yin Ba is not good at strength, the number is too small.
Liu Bai and Empress Pingxin walked thousands of miles of the underworld, but only encountered dozens of misfortunes.
They are running back and forth on the thousands of miles of underworld road, and wherever they appear, they are everywhere.
Even so, there were still many smarter ghosts sneaking away from their noses, and even returning all the way and escaping from the gates of hell.
The two continued to move forward, one step a thousand miles away, and soon arrived at the Forget River.
The Forgetful River runs through the eighteen layers of secluded soil, and the narrowest part is thousands of miles wide.
The red water flows in the river, carrying a strong yin and evil spirit aura, and even the Golden Immortal Cultivator can find it difficult to fly over the river, let alone wade through it.
Below the Daluo Golden Immortal, you can only reach the other side through the Naihe Bridge.
The Naihe Bridge is only about four meters wide, with carved stone railings on both sides. The bridge deck is slightly arc-shaped, and the bridge deck is paved with bluestone.
When the wandering soul arrived here, under the command of Asura Yincha, he arranged the left Yin and the right Yang and slowly walked across the bridge.
The Empress Liu Bai, the Pingxin, walked on the Naihe Bridge, and heard the sound of howling and crying under the bridge.
He looked down, but saw the ghosts on the Forget River Hanoi, with red waves surging, and pale hands stretching out from the bloody river water, as if asking for help, or as if trying to capture the wandering soul on the Naihe Bridge.
Under the water surface, countless copper snakes and iron dogs were tearing and gnawing the wandering souls falling into the water, causing them to suffer in great pain.
These copper snakes and iron dogs are transformed by wandering souls that fell into the river before. They cannot cross the river, cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation, and cannot rebirth. They feel resentment in their hearts, and they hate every wandering soul passing by the Naihe Bridge, thinking about dragging them into the Forgetful River at all times.
The wandering souls dragged into the river by them will gradually develop resentment in their hearts after suffering from the pain of the copper snake and iron dog tearing and gnawing, and eventually turn into the copper snake and iron dog.
Liu Bai saw that there were thousands of Asura Yinma who were casting nets or sailing boats on both sides of the banks of the Wangchuan River and above the water surface, catching and refining the copper snake and iron dogs. However, the Wangchuan River waves are more than ten thousand miles wide, and there are countless copper snake and iron dogs in each wave. It is undoubtedly an impossible task to catch them cleanly with such Yinmai.
What's more, every moment, there are endless wandering souls falling from the Naihe Bridge.
...
The Naihe Bridge spans the Forget River and is more than ten thousand miles long. It takes months or even years for ordinary wandering souls to pass through the bridge. However, it does not take so long for Liu Bai and Empress Pingxin to come here.
In just a moment, the two of them walked across the Naihe Bridge, and there was a pavilion in front of them, with a pot of black soup boiling in the pavilion.
Next to the big pot, there was a beautiful and charming Asura woman standing.
In front of her, countless wandering souls lined up in a long line, slowly walked to her, and took out a bowl of black soup from the big pot and poured it into her mouth.
Anyone who doesn't want to drink the black soup will be pulled over by the Asura woman and pressed her head into the big pot. She must choke in a few large mouthfuls of black soup before she let go.
When Empress Pingxin saw Liu Baiduo looking at the Asura woman, she smiled and introduced: "This is the place where the memories of the wandering souls' past lives are eliminated. It is the only well-functioning responsibilities in the entire underworld. This Asura woman is called Umo. Fortunately, she is here, so there is no big trouble in the cycle of reincarnation."
Liu Bai said in surprise: "There is only her guard here, so won't you have to rest for a moment?"
Empress Pingxin shook her head, "The job here seems simple, but it is actually the most critical part of the entire reincarnation. Once a wandering soul enters the reincarnation with memories of the previous life and is successfully reincarnated, it will inevitably involve many causes and effects. The entire underworld has more than 10,000 evils, and at least 30% of them have done this job, but only this Wumo has persisted for nearly ten thousand years, and has not made any mistakes so far."
Liu Bai nodded, feeling very satisfied.
It seems that the races I have created are still of some talented people.
At this time, Empress Pingxin continued: "The underworld is really in short supply of personnel, and those who are responsible for more critical responsibilities like Umo cannot stop for a moment."
Liu Bai nodded, "It seems that the underworld really needs replenishment. The empress comes to me, but has a plan?"
"good!"
Empress Pingxin nodded and said seriously: "I want to hand over the underworld to fellow Taoists!"
