Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2183
[Chapter 697 The mastermind behind the scenes]
At this time, Judge Cui snorted coldly and sent a green-faced and fanged ghost to chase away Jiancheng and Yuanji, and Zu An was able to escape.
After they were far away, I could faintly hear Jiancheng comforting Yuanji from behind: “He deliberately provoked you, you forgot about your siblings…”
It was a pity that the ghost took them away, and the rest of the words could not be heard.
Hey, it’s really hard to live without cultivation.
At this moment, he had arrived in front of a magnificent hall, and a burst of laughter came. It turned out to be King Guang of Qin, King Chujiang, King Song, King Wu Guan, King Yama, King Ping Ping, King Taishan, King City, King Bian Cheng, King Zhuan Lun, and the ten kings of hell came down the stairs, bowed their backs, and greeted Zu An.
While Zu An returned the gift, he looked at the appearance of the ten kings. They were all majestic and ferocious, and most people would be frightened when they saw them.
I thought it might be a special plot now, so I can see their true faces…
At this time, the Ten Kings said: “Your Majesty is the human king of the Yang world, and we are the ghost kings of the underworld. It is natural for us to be separated. Why do we need to make concessions?”
Zu An became more and more surprised . , if Judge Cui’s enthusiasm can be explained by his relationship with Wei Zheng, then the Tenth Palace of Hell may be too enthusiastic.
Next, he walked into the Senluo Hall, finished the ceremony with the ten kings, and sat down separately for the guests and the host.
Next, King Qin Guang asked about the Dragon King of Jinghe River, and Zu An explained the whole story.
When the Ten Kings heard this, they bowed and said: “Since before the dragon was born, Nan Douxing has been destined to be killed at the hands of Cao Cao. We have known it for a long time. But just because he is here to argue, Your Majesty must come here. The three Cao’s case is that we sent him to Lunzang and reincarnated. Now, Your Majesty, please forgive me for urging him.”
After saying this, the judge of the life and death book said, “Bring the book quickly and take a look. How long should your Majesty’s life span be?”
Zu An’s heart tightened. This is the most critical moment. If his life span is over, he may never be able to leave this hell.
At this time, Judge Cui hurriedly went to the room and reviewed the Tianlu general register of all the kings in the world one by one. I saw that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in Nanfangbuzhou was destined to be in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan. Judge Cui was startled. He quickly took out a thick ink brush and added two strokes on the word “一” before handing over the book.
When the ten kings looked at each other from the beginning, they saw that Taizong’s name was destined to be thirty-three years. The King of Hell was surprised and asked, “How many years have your Majesty been on the throne?”
Zu An replied, “I have been on the throne for thirteen years.”
The King of Hell said, “Your Majesty. Don’t worry, I still have twenty years to live. Now that I have understood the case, please return my roots and return my favor.”
A big stone fell from Zu An’s heart and he bowed in thanks.
Next, Judge Cui took Zu An out of the underworld, not the way they came, but over the Yin Mountains and through the eighteen levels of hell. The scene there made even a well-informed practitioner like Zu An tremble with fear. Not to mention the original mortal Li Shimin.
Next, we passed through the City of Wasted Death, where numerous evil spirits shouted “Here comes Li Shimin”. All kinds of ghosts with waists and broken arms, legs and heads but no heads came to Zu An to seek his life. Zu An asked Judge Cui to rescue him.
Judge Cui was a little embarrassed: “Your Majesty, those people are the smoke and dust of the sixty-four places, the grass bandits of the seventy-two places, the ghosts of the princes and the leaders; they are all unjust grievances, with no gain and no control, no reincarnation, and no They are all lonely and hungry ghosts. Your Majesty, please give him some money and I can save him.”
But Zu An had no money on him at this time, so the judge said: “Your Majesty, there is a person in the world who has some gold and silver. Leave them in my underworld. Your majesty can make a pact with Xiao Pan as a guarantee and lend him a treasury to disperse these hungry ghosts. ”
Zu An asked, “Who is this person?”
the judge said. “He is from Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan Province, and his surname is Xiang Liang. He has thirteen treasury of gold and silver here. If your Majesty has borrowed it from him, just return it to him in the underworld.”
Zu An is willing to be famous and borrow it. Then he established a clerk and a judge, and lent him a treasury of gold and silver.
His heart was extremely calm. Although he had lost all his cultivation, his thinking was extremely sharp. These days and nights he thought about the relevant matters in “Journey to the West”, and many details that were originally vague gradually became clear.
If I remember correctly, this Xiangliang did not accept repayment from Tang Taizong in history, so Taizong built a Xiangguo Temple to thank him.
Li Shimin is a mortal, and he may be frightened by these things, but how could he not see that these are intertwined and are all a show deliberately arranged for him.
At this time, the judge said to the many wronged souls: “You can use these gold and silver equally to let your Tang Dynasty grandfather pass. His life is still early. I took Junyu of the Ten Kings, sent him back to life, and taught him how to do things in the human world. A “Water and Land Conference” will save you from being reborn and stop causing trouble.”
After hearing this, all the ghosts retreated after receiving the gold and silver.
The judge then waved the soul-inducing flag and led Zu An out of the city of Fusui, ran onto Pingyang Road, and drifted away.
Next, we passed the Naihe Bridge. Under the bridge was the turbulent blood-yellow Forgotten River water.
Zu An specifically looked for Po Meng to see if she was destined for him. As a result, there was no Po Meng on the bridge. There were only all kinds of sinister figures, as well as countless ghosts and ghosts sinking in the River of Forgetfulness, desperately reaching out to him. It seemed to be asking him for help, but also seemed to want to pull him down.
If the real Li Shimin saw this scene, he would probably be scared to death, but Zu An only felt that it was particularly cordial. Of course, on the surface, he still had to pretend to be frightened.
After passing the Naihe Bridge, we finally came to the place of six reincarnations. Seeing the vortexes of six colors spinning in the void, Zu An’s heart moved. These six reincarnations indeed condensed countless mysteries and laws. Just standing here makes people feel… A feeling of trembling and longing in the soul.
Judge Cui explained to Zu An at the side: “This is called the ‘Six Paths of Reincarnation’. Those who do good will be promoted to the immortal world; those who are loyal will be reborn in the noble world; those who are filial will be reborn in the blessed road; those who are fair will be reborn in the human world; those who accumulate virtue will be reincarnated.” The path of prosperity; the path of evil, the hell. Please keep it in mind and tell it to the people when you return.”
Zu An nodded secretly. The six paths of reincarnation indeed represent the simplest wishes of the people.
Next, Judge Cui took Zu An to the “Chaosheng Noble Dao Gate”, gently pushed him from behind, and sent him back to the earth.
Originally, the palace was covered with curtains, the concubines and ministers were crying, and the funeral was about to be held. Suddenly, the emperor in the coffin opened his eyes, and everyone screamed in fright, and ran away.
Fortunately, Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng, Yuchi Gong, and Qin Shubao were loyal and courageous and helped him out.
Knowing that he had indeed come back from the dead, many concubines and ministers rushed back, all excited.
After Zu An recovered a little, he issued a general amnesty and released thousands of beautiful women in the palace to their freedom, which was praised by the world.
Then he thanked Xiangliang who borrowed the money from the underworld as agreed, but the other party refused to accept it, so he built the Daxiangguo Temple for him.
In addition, a water and land conference was held to exalt the souls of all the dead and injured during the war on the world.
At the Water and Land Conference, Tang Monk recited sutras and was saved. The Bodhisattva came out and said bluntly that this was Hinayana Buddhism and could not save people. This led to the story of sending Tang Monk to the West to obtain sutras.
Looking at the fair and pure Tang Monk, Zu An was curious whether this guy’s flesh and blood could really make people immortal. However, he knew how important it was to him, and he didn’t want to be like those people in “Journey to the West” who were greedy for Tang Monk’s flesh. He ended up like a monster, but in the end he didn’t do anything extraordinary.
After sending off Tang Monk, Zu An stood on a high building in the palace and looked to the west. At this time, Princess Yuanji brought a bowl of ginseng soup and comforted her softly: “Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, Tang Monk will definitely be able to get the scriptures back.”
At this time, Zu An suddenly turned around and looked at her: “How can you be so sure?”
Princess Yuanji was startled, and smiled unnaturally: “Then Tang Monk looked like a determined and enlightened monk, and he was protected by Bodhisattvas. , Of course it will succeed.”
“Oh, since your goal has been achieved, why do you still stay with me?” Zu An stared into her eyes.
Princess Yuanji’s face changed: “I don’t understand what your Majesty is talking about.”
Zu An snorted: “Actually, I have had my doubts for a long time. You must know that the palace is protected by the fate of heaven, and a ghost of the Dragon King of Jinghe River How could he get in? Even after Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao waited for the guards, he still came in. Then there are two possibilities. One is that someone in the palace cooperated and let him in. ”
He was the one in the previous level. The Dragon King of Jinghe wanted to enter the palace at that time but was blocked by the fate of heaven. He could only use the art of dreaming, and he had to guide Li Shimin out of the palace. As a result, the ghost of the Dragon King of Jinghe can now enter as he wishes. ?
“The second type,” Zu An paused, “Maybe there is no ghost of the Jinghe Dragon King at all from beginning to end. What appears next to me is someone deliberately pretending to be the Jinghe Dragon King!”
Princess Yuanji took a step back: “Your Majesty is looking at what I am doing. Could it be that he is suspicious of me?”
Zu An did not answer her words, but said to himself: “Wei Zheng helped me guard the back door at the beginning, but it was clear that I would never see any ghosts again. But my body is still getting weaker day by day, and everyone thinks that I was frightened by ghosts and fell ill, but I am a warrior who was defeated in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, so how can mere ghosts and gods scare me?”
