Ziwei Xingyao

Chapter 164 Golden Bridge and Silver Bridge?

A few days later, on the wilderness, at an intersection, Li Wei was saying goodbye to a group of people.

"Brother Dao, you must take this trip seriously. If you need something, feel free to tell You Bixing, Shen Shuiyuan, and Brother Zhanhu."

A few meters in front of him were Ying Tianzhu, who could not conceal her plump figure even though she was wearing a wide avenue robe and a veil, and her young disciples.

Before, because the monks of Jinling Temple were on the island, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, she had been staying in Zhangjiacun. Now, due to the chaos of the empire and the smoke of war, all the monks have withdrawn to Fuhang, and it is foreseeable that Before the war is completely quelled, they will not have the energy to worry about things on Changqing Island, so she can continue to help spread the faith.

"Brother Dao is serious. Although we are in Zhangjiacun, we have heard good news one after another. Brother Dao has worked so hard outside, regardless of our own dangers, but we can't go out. We are already very anxious. Now that the war is stabilizing, it is us who are waiting for you." It’s a favorable opportunity to spread the belief of Arctic Ziwei, and we can also help Taoist brothers to solve their problems.”

The group of young apprentices behind her nodded repeatedly. Although they were not used to it when they were reduced from the ladies in Fuhang to the female Taoist priests in Changqing at first, after such a long time, they all They fell in love with this kind of life now, and they all gradually understood a truth.

Born in troubled times, even if you are a woman, you must have a certain amount of self-defense. Demons and those who are more evil than demons will not be soft because they are young women. stronger.

Learning Taoism can do this. In fact, now, in addition to spreading their faith, all of them have learned how to control the clay figurines to fight, and are currently continuing to learn self-defense swordsmanship.

As for the others, whether it is clothing or food, they are just foreign objects, and they cannot save their lives at critical moments.

Li Wei smiled and bowed: "In this case, Ziwei will wait for the good news."

He has become more and more used to his identity now. He is no longer the mortal Li Wei a few months ago, but Taoist Ziwei who comes from the mysterious hidden sect Heaven, who can command star soldiers and generals.

Ying Tianshu also smiled and saluted, and then set off with You Bixing and others.

Their next task is not easy. They have to formally spread the belief of Arctic Ziwei, first in the county, and then in all the villages in Changqing Island.

Li Wei wants to build a temple in every village, and let the villagers believe in Arctic Ziwei devoutly, so as to generate more beliefs. In the process, how should Ying Tianzhu and her little apprentices promote, How to absorb the beliefs of the people will play a crucial role.

At the same time, this is also a test for her little apprentices. Every time she passes through a village, if it is suitable for spreading the faith, she will select the most outstanding disciples and let them stay in the village temporarily to continue spreading the faith.

Once the temple is built, they will be the local temple blessings. This is also an opportunity for her disciples. The past deeds have told all of them that Li Wei will never let down any meritorious person, whether it is gold or silver. He will never spare treasures, weapons and armor, or anything else.

In order to cooperate with their actions, Li Wei also specially dispatched [-] soldiers as guards, and even asked Zhan Hu to bring his brothers as guards, and let You Bixing and Shenshuiyuan Ye Qing assist together, which shows that he is very serious This matter is taken seriously.

After watching Ying Tianzhu and others go away, Li Wei turned to look back at the many subordinates behind him, and the tall figure who also rushed over from Zhangjia Village a few meters away: "Then let's start too."

In addition to cleaning up the mess left by the ghost king and spying on the movements of the two demon kings, Li Wei is also doing another thing these days, which is to let Ibaraki Doji and the three hundred do not eat, drink, or sleep. Three-color little demon, scouting the world inside Rashomon together.

So far, Ibaraki and the others have explored an area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers. At the beginning, they didn't find anything special. Even Li Wei felt that there might be a completely dead world there.

But soon Ibaraki and the others made new discoveries.

They found a relic that didn't know how long it had existed. It was the most favorable evidence that intelligent creatures had been active there, so Li Wei had to go there in person and bring most of the available combat power.

"Okay, Suzuka also wants to know if that Ibaraki is the Ibaraki boy that Suzuka knows!"

It has antlers on the first head, and below the waist is a long tail covered with scales like a dragon or a snake. The one who opened the mouth is Suzuka Gozen, whom I haven't seen for a while.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts, she and Ying Tianzhu had been staying in Zhangjia Village, but now there are no monks or Taoist priests on the island, and Li Wei has become an official county magistrate, so Suzuka will naturally There's no need to hide there anymore.

After learning that Li Wei planned to take her with him to explore the world on the other side of Rashomon, Suzuka immediately agreed, and after hearing the name Ibaraki Doji, she even volunteered to see if this Ibaraki The Ibaraki she knew was a name she had also heard of in Nippen.

Li Wei stretched out his hand to caress his waist. As the star power continued to infuse, a door of light was slowly opened a dozen meters in front of him. It is one of the results of continuous familiarity with Rashomon.

There are actually some problems with the ghost king's thinking. The Rashomon itself is just a medium. It is more like a key than a door. It is not necessary to enlarge the Rashomon to lead to the nether world.

When the Rashomon Gate was opened, the ghost rider made a confession, and led the ghost horse into it first. It knew that it had just surrendered and had not yet gained the trust of everyone, so it had already made a secret decision to take the initiative to bear more Some dangerous missions, let the real action prove yourself.

Then other star generals also filed in. Suzuka did not come alone. For this operation, the star generals such as Tianma Xing and Skybax who were originally stationed in Zhangjia Village and Chitie Village also came one after another, because Li Wei He won't use the troops stationed in Niujia Village, so the only ones he can trust are his own subordinates.

After everyone went in, Li Wei also stepped in, and then the light flashed, the energy gate disappeared out of thin air, and Li Wei and others completely disappeared.

Following a trance, Levi felt his body descending rapidly, just like the weightless state when riding an elevator. However, this feeling was fleeting, and in less than half a second, he found himself in another world.

There is no sun, no moon, the sky is always gray, and there is nothing except the land under your feet. Not only are there no rivers, there are not even flowers, grass, or trees. The monotony is simply terrifying.

The only good thing is that it is warm like spring all day long, and there is also air. As long as sufficient food and water are prepared, normal people can survive here for a short time. This makes Li Wei gradually raise an idea, This might serve as a solid rear area.

However, it is gray here, without any sunlight, and the line of sight is greatly affected. If there are other beings here, they have to be careful of the other party's sneak attack at all times, and they need further investigation.

A few tens of meters away, hundreds of three-color little demons have already lined up and waited. The first one is four meters tall and has a magnificent horn. It is the one-armed demon king Ibaraki.

Seeing Li Wei coming, it didn't intend to say hello at all, but just stood there, like a puppet.

Li Wei didn't care too much, it looked like this before receiving orders from him.

At the beginning, the ghost king and the ghost rider didn't know what was going on. They only knew that they could control Ibaraki by holding the Rashomon and the ghost claws of the evil spirit at the same time. After several times of research but in vain, they could only conclude that Well, Ibaraki already looked like this before he came to Changqing, so he must have encountered some kind of accident.

Suzuka next to her screamed and jumped out. Although she didn't have legs, her snake tail moved extremely quickly.

"Sure enough, it's Ibaraki Doji, but why did you lose an arm?"

But of course her question would not be answered. Ibaraki Doji just glanced at her with red eyes, and then looked at Li Wei, as if asking, can I kill this guy?
Suzuka immediately felt the opponent's murderous intent, she quickly backed up a few meters, and opened the distance: "Master Ziwei, why does Suzuka feel that there is something wrong with it?"

It certainly wasn't quite right.

Li Wei briefly explained to Suzuka, and then asked: "Suzuka, do you know it?"

Suzuka shook his head quickly: "No, Suzuka doesn't know Ibaraki Doji, but Suzuka has heard of it."

"Nippon has three monster kings, Shuten Doji, the king of all ghosts, Tamamomae, the nine-tailed demon fox, and Ogakumaru, the demon king of demons."

"Ibaraki-douji is Shuten-douji's close friend and subordinate. He is known for his loyalty and integrity, which is rare among ghosts. Moreover, his strength is also very strong in the whole Nippong, but now it looks like What a fool..."

Ibaraki's eyes flickered when he heard the words "Shuten-douji", but after hearing the word "fool", his eyes widened instantly, and murderous intent surged out again.

Both Li Wei and Suzuka noticed this at the same time. It seems that even though it is subject to the evil ghosts and Rashomon, it has not been completely reduced to a puppet, and it still has a trace of self-awareness.

Li Wei frowned, it's really not a good thing to have such a restless factor here.Fortunately, Suzuka's words touched it, allowing this hidden danger to be exposed in advance.

After thinking for a while, he stepped forward: "Ibaraki Doji, I don't know how much self-awareness you still have, but I can promise you that as long as you remain loyal to me for a while, when I rebuild the underworld, You escaped the day of your freedom."

After a slight pause, Li Wei then added: "You can even return to Nibon with the evil ghost claw, and go find your best friend Shuten Doji again."

The negative effect of the evil ghost claw is too strong, so even though its attributes are very good, Li Wei doesn't have the slightest nostalgia for it. The real suitable owner is Ibaraki himself.

And the condition for the end of this agreement is after I rebuild the underworld, but when that time really comes, will I still put a demon king of more than ten levels in my eyes?

Ibaraki's scarlet eyes rolled around, as if thinking, and finally nodded vigorously: "Ibaraki, I agree!"

Li Wei smiled immediately, is he known for his loyalty and integrity?Very good, even if you are a ghost, as long as you abide by the agreement, I will definitely not break my promise!
"Okay, then take us to the ruins now."

Soon, led by Ibaraki, Li Wei and others traveled eastward for dozens of miles and finally arrived at their destination.

When seeing the ruins, whether it is Li Wei, Suzuka, or other star generals, they can't help but feel shocked for a moment, because this is not an ordinary ruin, but a continuous palace complex!
Even though it has been dusty and covered with various scars, from the existing remains, they can still see the prosperity of the past. I am afraid that Weijing's palace may not be much more splendid than this place.

Unfortunately, they are now in ruins.

After letting the three hundred little demons explore the surrounding situation, and everyone else being cautious, Li Wei took the initiative to step forward, drew out his long sword Mingzhao, and slashed at the wreckage several times. The sound of the collision and the strength of the rebound told him that this kind of No matter how strong the material is, it is not inferior to ordinary metal at all.

After checking the sword marks on it for a while, Li Wei's complexion didn't look very good either.

Although his sword mark was the deepest, the scars left by other swords and guns were not much worse, which showed that the owners of those weapons were only slightly inferior to him, at least in terms of pure strength.

However, with the blessing of the Lord of the Stars, his power now far exceeds that of ordinary people, and is even stronger than that of star generals. Taken together, the average strength of those who attack and destroy here is at least as strong as that of the young spearman Chen Mo. Not much different!

The other star generals also noticed his movements. Po Junxing, Chen Mo and the others were still not convinced. They also tried separately, but when their hands were sore from the shock, they only left a few After the deep scars, they also had to recognize the reality, that is, the person who destroyed this continuous palace was indeed stronger than most of their star generals!
At this time, there was a sudden scream in front, and then the ghost rode back on horseback. Even though everyone couldn't see its expression because of its mask, they could still hear the excitement in its tone: "My lord, the end is ahead!" Found two broken bridges, one gold and one silver!"

"One gold and one silver? What do you mean?"

Some star generals still don't quite understand, but Li Wei narrowed his eyes in an instant. The nether world, the golden bridge and the silver bridge, shouldn't be here. . .

"Take me there!"

Soon everyone knew why Ghost Rider was so excited, because the two broken bridges that crossed in front of them were really entirely made of gold and silver!
The young spearman Chen Mo couldn't help but groan: "Sir, so much gold and silver..."

Although it was broken in pieces, they quickly judged that each bridge was hundreds of meters long, five or six meters wide, and several meters high when it was complete. It is confirmed that they are really all made of gold and silver.

There is so much gold and silver that even the treasury of the Cathay Empire, which has accumulated wealth for thousands of years, will never be able to get it out!

Even this is no longer a simple question of more or less. Once these gold and silver appear directly outside, the price of the entire empire will collapse in an instant.

"My lord, will we never lack armaments again?"

Although Li Wei was equally shocked, he shook his head slightly when he heard the words: "I don't think so. Continue to investigate. If I remember correctly, there should be more than two bridges here."

Moreover, although these gold and silver are good, they may not really be able to be brought to the outside world. . .

Although a little puzzled, everyone moved quickly, even Suzuka was no exception. If there were enough gold and silver, then she suggested to buy some clothes for the clam girls under her command. A problem?
Soon the star generals discovered a jade bridge, a stone bridge, and two empty stone bridge heads.

Regardless of the value of the jade bridge, which is also very high, Li Wei went to the two bridgeheads at the first time. After seeing the two big characters engraved on one of the bridgeheads, Li Wei finally had no doubts. He knew Where am I now, because those two words are "Nai He"!
"Gold, silver, jade, and stone. The two bridges that disappeared without a trace should be the wooden bridge and the Naihe bridge. Then this should be the Temple of the King of the Wheel, one of the ten halls of Yama in the Underworld."

Huangquan Road, Wangchuan River, and Naihe Bridge.

As far as Li Wei knows, when a living person dies, the soul will be taken to the underworld by ghost messengers, first handed over to the ten halls of Yama for trial, and then assigned the identity and race of the next life according to the good and evil fortunes and misfortunes of the previous life.

Then they will be taken to the Naihe Bridge, drink Mengpo soup, forget the memories of their past lives, and then go to reincarnation through the five bridges of gold, silver, jade, stone, and wood.

Li Wei originally thought that there were no immortals and gods in this world, but now it seems that this may not be the case. At least the Temple of the Wheel King and the Underworld once existed, but they were later destroyed by unknown enemies.

Without the Underworld, people’s souls have nothing to rely on after death. They either dissipate quickly between the heaven and the earth, or become evil ghosts by chance, and there are no corresponding ghost messengers to arrest them. It will only be a disaster for the world.

The cycle of reincarnation between heaven and earth is broken, which is probably one of the important reasons why demons and ghosts emerge in endlessly in the world.

Sighing slightly, Li Wei regained his energy: "Continue to search for the location of the main hall. It is likely to be at the intersection of five bridges. I want to thoroughly confirm my guess!"

Although most of the star generals didn't quite know what Li Wei was thinking, they still tried to act as soon as he gave the order.

Soon there will be a report from the stars, saying that they have found several broken plaques, and after putting them together, there is the word "running wheel" on them, and following this clue, they found an almost complete plaque at the intersection of five bridges In the collapsed hall, there was faint light shining in the hall.

Li Wei immediately set off to go. Although the place has become a wreck, he still has a glimmer of expectation. If the Temple of the Wheel of the Wheel is not completely damaged, but there are still a few buildings left, then as long as he works hard enough, he will sooner or later Can make it rise again in this ruins!
