Chapter 339
The sun is scorching, the yellow sand is thousands of miles away, the wilderness is barren, and at the line of heaven and earth, only the yellow sand flows slowly like the tide.

This is the first level of the Road to the Underworld. According to Bai Yun, there are three levels in the Road to the Underworld. Each level is like a monk passing through a tribulation. In the history of the world, all monks who have passed through the Road to the Underworld are without exception. They have all become immortals, and even their god status is not low.

However, the degree of danger is also the existence of a narrow escape, but the future of immortality can be expected after crossing the road of the underworld, but it also makes those monks like crucian carp crossing the river.

However, the original purpose of the cultivator who broke through the level of the Path of the Underworld was to revive his Taoist companion who died suddenly because of his practice.

That was 10 years ago, when Shinto was still in its infancy, and the Conferred God War had not yet begun.

It's just that people's life, old age, sickness and death have their own determinants. Even if the monk's swordsmanship is as high as the sky, he still failed to get the underworld to agree to let his Taoist companion come back to life. In order to save face, the soul of the monk who secretly dispersed the monk was discovered, causing the monk to make a fuss in the underworld.

However, Feidan, the former king of Yama, did not repent. Instead, he forcibly destroyed the surviving soul of the monk and Taoist companion, causing his soul to fly away and never to be reborn.

That cultivator lost all his souls after his Taoist companion disappeared. He abandoned his humanity in desperation and became a demon instantly. Turned into a fierce ghost, he still continued to kill, and the former King Yama was even beheaded by him. In the end, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took action and suppressed him under the underworld with the Buddha's handprint.

This is also the origin of the saying that "it is not as good as becoming a demon overnight after a thousand years of cultivation".

Because of this matter, after the Conferred God War, the demon clan in the demon world was directly wiped out by the Shendao Heavenly Court in order to prevent this from happening.

You must know that Shinto originally prospered by relying on the human way, and the Heavenly Court does not allow the luck of the human way to be divided.

Even the demon clan of Saint Nuwa is restrained.

Su Jing quietly looked at the thousands of miles of yellow sand in the distance, sighed, and then braved the scorching sun and wind and sand to move forward with difficulty.

Even if he is already a monk at the pinnacle of the world, the deserts of the Road to the Underworld are not comparable to those in the mortal world.

Not to mention, there are some poisonous substances lurking under the desert. If Suning hadn't been reminded by Xuanyuanjian's sword spirit just now, he would have even been stabbed by the poisonous tail of that huge scorpion monster.

It is not impossible for monks to break through the three gates of the underworld, but they are bound by the rules of the underworld and cannot disclose the specific conditions of the three gates.

Just leave six words: vision, self-cultivation, and wisdom.

The wind and sand are raging, the scorching sun hangs high, and remains unchanged for a long time. Time seems to be static.

Suning walked straight on the desert, even if he didn't know what this level was, but he believed that the test of this level would come to him by himself.

The vast sea of ​​sand seems endless.

The more Suning walks, the more spiritual energy in his body is exhausted. The main reason is that the desert here is full of dangers, so he has to release his spiritual sense to perceive the surroundings all the time.

In the end, he could only look for a place in the desert where he could rest, meditate and restore his spiritual energy.

I don't know if it's luck, but a greenery gradually appeared in front of me, presumably an oasis.

Not only that, there were voices coming from the wind and sand, it was a kind of enthusiastic shouting, which seemed a little strange in this scorching desert with thousands of miles of yellow sand.

Suning quickened his pace and approached the oasis.

When green grass appeared under his feet, a small town and a lake reflecting the sky and yellow sand appeared in his eyes.

The town is not big, with only one main street and a dozen alleys. At the entrance of the town, there is a tavern full of drinkers, all of whom are armed with swords, sabers or other weapons.

When Suning walked into the tavern, they turned a deaf ear to them and continued drinking and punching.

Behind the counter, there was only a young scholar who settled accounts. There was no waiter or cook in the tavern, only wine, and the strong smell of wine permeated the lobby.

The young scholar smiled and said, "Be objective, how many drinks do you want?"

Su Ning thought for a while and asked, "What wine do you have?"

"Only big songs."

"It's three catties."

Su Ning said without thinking, he was a little thirsty.

The drinkers in the lobby are still talking to themselves.

The young scholar gave Suning a thumbs up and praised: "Good drinker."

He took out a large jug of wine from the cabinet at the counter and put it behind the counter, and said with a mysterious smile: "The guest must have come to break through the gate, and I am the gatekeeper of the first gate."

This was beyond Suning's expectation. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Then how should I break through?"

The young scholar pointed at the drinkers in the lobby and said with a smile: "Among these people, there is one who is a big devil who commits all kinds of crimes and kills without blinking an eye. You only have one chance to find that person, but you can only look at them and not interact with them." If there is any contact, otherwise the barrier will fail."

Su Ning suddenly realized that the vision meant this.

"Would you like to drink first?" The young scholar knocked on the wine jar, and the sound of the jar was clear and crisp.

"Keep it and drink it when I come back." Suning turned around and began to observe the drinkers in the lobby.

"Interesting." The young scholar smiled.

Suning carefully observed the drinkers one by one, refusing to miss any detail.

There were a total of eighteen drinkers. Twelve of them looked fierce and looked like big devils at first glance. The remaining six drinkers, three women and three men, were all handsome and elegant people, and looked out of place with the other twelve drinkers. .

Suning first eliminated the twelve drinkers because the temperament of those people was too vulgar, and the big bad guy and the big devil were two different concepts.

do not judge a book by it's cover.

Even if you don't know what kind of rules this level is, but you have to test your vision, then the information will definitely not be pushed directly to the table.

The remaining six people, two people at a table, one man and one woman.

At the first table, the man and the woman were about the same age, both around 31 or [-] years old. The man’s weapon was a pure steel fan. He drank slowly and kept looking at the woman.

The woman has a clean and pure face like a goddess of spring, with a little childishness, but her weapon is a long knife with small holes all over the blade.

It is a love knife, the small hole in the blade can shoot out a sharp steel wire, which can instantly entangle the enemy, killing people without a trace.

This pair can be ruled out first, perhaps the infatuation can be disguised, but the murderous actions of the two are obviously too immature and a little too deliberate.

At the second table, the man is obviously a vicious person, and he is extremely lustful. He is forcibly embracing the girl who is at the same table with him.

However, Suning didn't show any anger, instead a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"That girl is the big devil." Su Ning didn't look back, and smiled triumphantly. This is really too simple, and I don't know which idiot set up the checkpoint.

The young scholar was stunned for a long time. He didn't expect that the doubts he had carefully laid out could be solved so easily. He felt slightly displeased. After dispersing the drinkers with his hand, he said bluntly: "The first level is just a small test, and the second level is the key point. Three passes, since the past dynasties, I don’t know how many monks have lost their lives here.”

Suning turned around and said to himself: "Please set up the formation."

As soon as the young scholar waved his hand, a chess board and two boxes of chess pieces appeared on the counter.

Su Ning scratched his head, looked at the chessboard on the counter, and asked in confusion: "What does self-cultivation have to do with the chessboard?"

The young scholar squinted his eyes and said, "I'm happy. By the way, I forgot to tell you that when I was in the world, I was the only disciple of Chess Master Nie Wushuang, and the blue came out of the blue and was better than the blue."

"Are you sure?" Suning couldn't believe that the opponent actually used Go to compete with him.

"Why, I'm scared." The young scholar pondered.

"I'm afraid that your loss will be too ugly." Suning said truthfully.

Hearing the words, the young scholar seemed to be insulted, and angrily said: "I don't know who wins and who loses, who can't speak big words."

Su Ning was helpless, waved his hand and said, "Heizi goes first."

The young scholar snorted coldly: "You asked for this. My master has a saying that you are invincible in the first fifty steps. Within fifty steps, you are invincible in the first move."

As he spoke, he quickly opened the chess box and dropped a piece.

Suning looked at his moves, applauded and praised: "Sure enough, he is a master." While speaking, he slowly opened the chess box and made moves without hesitation.

The young scholar's expression froze, and he was surprised to find that he couldn't see Suning's chess moves.

There are only two explanations for this.

First, the opponent is a bad chess basket.

Second, the opponent's chess strength has to crush one's own.

He didn't want to believe the second explanation, so he quickly made a move, pursued and fought fiercely, hoping to kill Suning within [-] moves.

However, after thirty pieces, his pieces have become more and more difficult to fall.

White mist has appeared on the young scholar's forehead.

"How could this happen?" He murmured, looking in disbelief at the chessboard that had become four games.

"I won." Suning said with a relaxed tone, waving his hands, "Your chess strength is indeed very strong, but you are sharp. If you don't come out on top, you will decline again and again."

The young scholar sighed sadly, cupped his hands and said, "I've been taught."

He put down the chess pieces and reminded: "The third level is a small world arranged by the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in our underworld. If you can't grasp the rules of that world, you will be trapped in it forever until your spiritual energy is exhausted and your soul dissipates. Before entering, you have to be mentally prepared.”

Because of this game of chess, the young scholar began to look at Suning with admiration.

"Thank you."

Suning cupped his hands.

When the young scholar waved his hand, Suning disappeared from the lobby.

"It's true that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky!"

The young scholar sighed, silently watching the chess game, his expression was as focused as an old monk in meditation.

……

The Underworld is governed by the Ten Temples of Hades in charge of the six reincarnations, but the highest status among them is still the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who made the great wish of "the hell is not empty, and he will never become a Buddha". He practices in a grand and far-reaching way, even if it is just Bodhisattva, but the power of mana is strong, second only to the three elders of Buddhism and the three Buddhas of the past, present and future.

However, since Ksitigarbha had never made a move, no one knew about his magic power.

Suning was floating in the void at this time.

There are blood-like Bana flowers floating in the air, deriving a mysterious avenue. Between the heaven and the earth, there seem to be avenues, layer upon layer. Suning is in it, as if trapped in a maze, it is difficult to get out.

This is the last pass of the Yin Division Road, and it is also the most difficult pass. It is a pass similar to Xiaotiandi built by the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva himself.

Suning was on one of the avenues, and found corpses exuding a jade-like luster. The so-called "golden branches and jade leaves" describe the bones of monks as chalcedony.

He counted carefully, and there were 31 corpses, which shows how many great monks have been lost in the world.

Next to those bones, there are pieces of magic treasures of extremely high rank. If they are taken out, each piece is worth hundreds of thousands of immortal money, and some are even worth millions.

But Suning has no habit of taking things from dead people.

However, when Suning squatted down to check the condition of the bones, he was bounced away by a series of terrifying auras, presumably the remnants of the auras from the monks' bones.

It can be seen from this that all of these monks are the peak monks in the world, but they still fell.

Suning looked at the empty passage ahead with only the petals of the other shore flower floating in it, and remained silent for a long time.

Su Ning took out the Xuanyuan Sword, and the weather of the rain-covered kendo evolved, and the meteor shower fell in the passage.

His sword is enough to open mountains and destroy cities, but there is not even a trace left here.

It is indeed the handwriting of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, it seems that it can only be outsmarted.

Suning put away Xuanyuan Sword.

He is just a mere mortal, and naturally he cannot compete with the gods, so he can only follow the rules of the path of the underworld.

He slowly walked into the passage, closing his eyes to perceive.

Suning found that the passage he was in was just one of countless passages. These passages were layered on top of each other and extremely complicated, like a maze as huge as heaven and earth.

Suning was in it, as small as an ant.

Moreover, the flow of spiritual energy is forbidden in the heaven and earth here, so Suning just let out his spiritual thoughts a little, and the spiritual energy of the Dan Mansion flowed away like a spring.

A feeling of exhaustion arises spontaneously.

"It is indeed a small world created by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Its complexity is full of the great ways and rules of this world." Suning sat down cross-legged and gathered his spiritual energy into a head-sized spiritual sphere, which was riddled with holes.

Suning has experienced several worlds, and his understanding of the laws of time and space is naturally deeper than that of ordinary monks and even some immortals.

Therefore, after sensing this small world like a maze with his spiritual mind, he immediately discovered its rules.

This is a small world similar to a guessing game arranged by the laws of time and space.

This is also an important part of Taoism and immortality.

The unity of heaven and man in the avenue of heaven and man.

It's no wonder that most of those monks died tragically here.

In this small world, it is no different from enlightenment before becoming a fairy.

Due to the lack of deep understanding of the laws of time and space, many monks got exhausted and got into the horns, sinking deeper and deeper.

This is also why becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao is something that countless monks and even monster races dream of.

Immortals can be evergreen!

However, the more golden the avenue, the bigger the thorns on the road, and there are countless people who died halfway.

With that in mind, Suning looked at the spirit ball floating in front of him and fell into deep thought.

If this third test is compared to a training of the mind and enlightenment, does it mean that the monks who have passed the third test have already entered the Dharma Eye of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?

The cause and effect seems to be to attract luck to Buddhism.

With a bang, the spirit ball in front of Suning shattered directly, and the spirit energy scattered like the wind.

"It seems that such a great way to fight for the front is beyond the reach of me, a mortal."

Suning gave up the deduction, continued to condense the spiritual sphere, and then evolved the laws of this small world.

There are actually a lot of information left in this small world, but this is only for Suning.

If it was another monk, I am afraid that it would not be surprising that the aura would be exhausted and the soul would dissipate.

This is just like cultivating the way of longevity, three disasters and nine disasters, there are very few people who can break out of the siege.

A Dao fruit derived from the Dao began to appear in the holes in the spirit ball.

This is the collective information of the laws of this small world.

After getting the result, Suning chuckled, it turned out that this is the law of this small world.

Fish leaping in the sea at this time, flowers blooming on the other side of the sky.

Suning smiled slightly.

Where is the other side?
everywhere.

Take one step forward, and Suning is already on the other side.

……

On the [-]th floor of hell, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva closed his eyes and recited the Mahayana Dharma. Golden lotus flowers bloomed one after another in the Nether Blood Pond, saving the newly promoted ghosts who were full of resentment.

Beside Ksitigarbha, followed by his divine beast, the elephant Tingdi, who has been edified by Buddhism for a long time, has Buddha nature, and a golden halo of Buddha Dharma grows on his head.

In the Nether Blood Pool, countless ghosts let out a mournful roar as a group of demons danced wildly.

The Buddha's light shines everywhere, and the golden lotus blooms continuously.

All the evil ghosts melted away.

After saving the fierce ghost, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva opened his eyes with a look of joy on his face.

"This son has a bright future."
