Chapter 67: Back Earth(1/2)
Nuwa nodded slightly, "Please come in."
Soon, a woman in a goose yellow dress walked into the hall with a beautiful appearance and a very elegant temperament. As soon as she entered the hall, she bowed to Nuwa and said, "Hou Tu pays homage to the Empress."
Liu Bai's eyes flashed and he carefully observed the ancestor witch.
This is not the first time he has seen Houtu.
Houtu and Nuwa have a good relationship and come to visit each other every now and then.
Especially after Nuwa became a saint, she came to visit more frequently.
Although Liu Bai has never formally met her, his body is at the gate of the Wahuang Heaven. He knows every person who comes and goes to the Wahuang Heaven.
But at this moment, when he looked at Houtu, a slight throbbing surged in his heart.
The way of heaven is induction.
The sensation that has not been seen for a long time has appeared again.
But this time, I don’t have a clear goal like before.
Liu Bai just vaguely felt that the opportunity to fulfill the great way of creation should be Houtu.
He looked at the ancestor witch quietly.
There was a Taoist rhyme he had never seen before on Houtu.
Very shallow and very light.
It appears and is hidden, and it is difficult for ordinary monks to detect it.
Maybe Houtu herself might not know, otherwise how could she come to visit the Emperor Wa at this time?
He glanced at Nuwa and happened to meet Nuwa's gaze.
Then he heard Nuwa's voice transmission, "Fellow Taoist must have discovered it too. This is a heavy responsibility that Houtu was born to bear. It is a destiny that even the saints, such as us, would not interfere."
Liu Bai frowned slightly. When he wanted to ask, he saw Nuwa smiling and invited Houtu Ancestor Witch to sit down and introduced: "This is the Taoist Changqing, and I am a close friend."
Then he looked at Liu Bai and said, "Now the human race has expanded rapidly and has already come into contact with the outer tribes of the Witch Clan. Houtu ancestor witch has a close relationship with me, and the Witch Clan tribe under her command is quite friendly to the human race."
Houtu nodded slightly to Liu Bai and said, "Our witch tribe is different from the demon tribe. We have never done anything to bully the weak. However, some little monsters who are not open will often treat the human race as blood food. But please rest assured that if the warriors of our tribe take care of the human race, they will definitely not be harmed by the demon tribe."
Nuwa smiled slightly, and no emotion was revealed.
Houtu didn't continue talking about this topic anymore, and instead talked about what he saw on the way.
Liu Bai sat by the side for a while before getting up and saying goodbye.
After leaving the Wa Emperor's Heaven, he wandered aimlessly in the Buzhou Mountains, as if he was enjoying the beautiful scenery, and as if he was thinking about something.
Before we knew it, the sunset was setting.
A slim figure appeared in his vision ahead.
It's Houtu.
I saw that she did not cast her magic power and slowly walked in the mountains and forests, her eyes were dull, as if she was thinking about something.
Around her, an inexplicable rhyme of Tao appeared and disappeared.
Suddenly.
A black shadow flashed out from behind the giant tree and rushed towards her with his teeth and claws.
Houtu stopped, and a yellow divine light surged out of the ground under his feet, fixing the black shadow in mid-air.
"Wandering soul?"
Houtu looked at the wandering soul that was fixed in the air by her, and frowned slightly, muttering to himself: "Is there a wandering soul in the Buzhou Mountain?"
Liu Bai walked out from behind a big tree and smiled and said, "The energy of estrangement is everywhere. There is no pure land in this world. Although Buzhou Mountain is divine, it is still part of the prehistoric world. How could it be spared?"
Hearing the voices, Houtu immediately became alert. After seeing that it was Liu Bai, he relaxed a little and said in surprise: "Are you waiting for me here for me?"
Liu Bai shook his head, "I just thought about moving very quietly and walked around casually. Meeting fellow Taoists was just by chance."
Hou Tu nodded, but his eyes were still filled with a hint of alertness. He obviously did not fully believe Liu Bai's words.
Liu Bai didn't care, and his eyes turned to the wandering soul in the air, "What do you plan to deal with it with fellow Taoist?"
Hou Tu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Send it to the Netherworld Blood Sea, there are many wandering souls and no other creatures."
Liu Bai smiled and said, "When many monks meet wandering souls, they either catch treasures or make them into ashes. At most, they just ignore them. This is the first time they saw them who were specially escorted to the Netherworld Blood Sea like a fellow Taoist."
Houtu said: "The wandering soul was also a living creature before, and it was no different from sentient beings."
Liu Bai shook his head and said, "Die is dead. How can we treat living creatures equally? Can they survive again?"
"Let's come alive?"
A light flashed in Houtu's eyes, but he quickly retreated and disappeared.
She looked at the wandering soul and shook her head and sighed: "It is good that dead creatures can survive, but countless new lives will be born every day in the prehistoric land. If there is no death, new lives will be born again, and one day, the prehistoric land will be filled with countless creatures."
"What fellow Taoist said is very much."
Liu Bai nodded slightly, but thought to himself that it seemed that it was still a little bit short of time.
He looked at Houtu and said, "Didn't fellow Taoist want to escort this wandering soul to the Netherworld Blood Sea? It just so happened that I and the Ancestor of the Styx may not have seen each other for a long time, so why not walk together?"
Hou Tu frowned slightly, "I am the ancestor witch of the earth. Although the Netherworld Blood Sea is under the 18th level of secluded soil, it can only reach me in an instant. Do you know if you can keep up with me?"
Liu Bai smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist please take a step first."
Hou Tu didn't say much, and a yellow light flashed under his feet, and he disappeared as he restrained the wandering soul.
Seeing this, Liu Bai also took a step forward and used the great magical powers of the world to come directly over the Blood Sea.
Above the sea of blood, the wandering souls that had been refined by the Ancestor of the Styx with the Blood River Array have become dense and uncountable.
Most of these wandering souls died due to the lich's calamity.
Liu Bai sighed slightly, and could understand his obsession with Fuxi slightly.
He stood over the sea of blood and looked around.
After a while, Liu Bai was also slightly moved in his heart.
At the same time, the mysterious and mysterious feeling in my heart is clearer.
The last time Liu Bai killed the Ancestor of the Styx here, he had such a sense.
At this moment, a yellow light flashed.
The Houtu ancestor witch appeared out of thin air. When she saw Liu Bai, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, "It's so close to the world? Fellow Taoist really has deep magic power."
Liu Bai smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Houtu didn't say anything more.
She stood above the sea of blood, looking at the densely packed wandering souls around her, and sighed: "Since the creation of the world, the Netherworld Blood Sea has been the only place for these wandering souls to live in. Speaking of which, although the ancestor of the Styx performed a large-scale killing in ancient times, he is now much more peaceful. Since the Zixiao Palace was hidden in chaos, he has been in seclusion in the Netherworld Blood Sea. Even Nuwa had never shown up before."
Liu Bai's complexion was strange.
It seems that the Ancestor of the Styx is the real low-key person.
They have been dead for nearly a while, but no one knows.
At this time, Houtu suddenly sighed: "The vast land was created by the Father God. The ocean is vast and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. I have walked through every corner of the world, but I have been vaguely touched in my heart recently."
Liu Bai raised his eyebrows, "Oh, how do you say this?"
Houtu pondered without saying a word, as if he was a little hesitant.
Liu Bai smiled and said, "If fellow Taoists feel it is inconvenient to say it to me, then forget it."
Hou Tu shook his head, "Actually, it's nothing to tell fellow Taoists. I had said I heard from my brothers before, but they said that my thoughts were very rebellious."
"Great rebellion?"
Liu Bai said in surprise: "What fellow Taoist said makes me even more curious."
Hou Tu stared at him with a serious expression, "Daoist know where these wandering souls come from?"
Liu Bai said: "Those who encounter accidents among the prehistoric tribes will be destroyed, and the soul will remain in the world."
Hou Tu nodded, "Fellow Taoist said it well. But that was before, and now there is a new kind of wandering soul."
As she spoke, a yellow light appeared in her hand, and countless wandering souls emerged from the yellow light and joined the wandering soul army above the sea of blood.
Liu Bai thought to himself that it seemed that Houtu should have put away all the wandering souls she encountered, and it was not until today that they were placed together on the sea of blood together.
At this time, Hou Tu gently hooked his finger, and a weak and almost transparent wandering soul was pulled in front of her.
She looked at Liu Bai and said, "Fellow Taoist, please see. He was a hunter of the human race during his lifetime. He fell while capturing a ferocious beast. After his death, his three souls and seven spirits turned into wandering souls.
At first, it still had a little bit of sanity, but later as time went by, its intelligence disappeared little by little, gradually becoming fierce and cruel, and began to attack the creatures around it, and even the tribe members of the tribe during their lifetime were not spared.
Among the human race, it is called an evil ghost!”
Liu Bai nodded. He witnessed the birth of the human race with his own eyes and watched them reproduce step by step. How could he not know this?
He also knew that Houtu said this must have a deeper meaning.
