Prehistoric: Twin lotuses with parallel stems

Qingxuan and Qinglian rarely visited the underworld. Although they were familiar with many people here, the number of times they came this time was really small.

The underworld has undergone great changes. Specifically, the establishment of the underworld has made the netherworld lively.

Not only can the souls of the deceased enter this world and reincarnate.

There are also many ghost officials hurrying around to maintain the order of the underworld.

The Sea of ​​Blood, Fengdu, Ghost Gate, Yellow Spring Road, Naihe Bridge, Eighteen Layers of Hell...

Although these things did not exist in the underworld when I came here last time, each of their names is familiar to me.

Along the way, Qingxuan looked at the unique scenery of the underworld with interest.

Although Qingxuan was not happy about him living here for a long time, it felt good to see the novelty.

This underworld is not as prosperous as the great earth, but it is much simpler and purer.

After all, in this underworld, there is absolute order, which does not exist in the ancient world.

All living beings, when they arrive here, become undead souls, without distinction of high or low status.

No matter how great your status was in your life, you can't act arrogantly here. It's better to say that those people in the Witch Clan are just hoping that you will act arrogantly, and they are just worried that they can't find a reason to beat you up.

Anyone who can truly stand up to them would not be reduced to a soul and appear here.

The authentic rules of order, coupled with the Wu Clan and the Shura Clan maintaining order, are simple and crude, but also extremely intimidating.

No matter how glorious your life was, all beings are equal here.

Especially the people of the Witch Clan, even if you have done good deeds and do not abide by the order of the underworld, they will beat you without mercy even if they have a legitimate reason.

Therefore, in this seemingly chaotic place, the order is actually extremely stable and no one can shake it.

When it comes to competition, the Wu clan has never lost.

Haven’t you seen that your colleagues from the Shura clan are being challenged to fights every few days?

The River Ming never cared about such minor disputes, and Hou Tu was certainly even less so. In fact, she just sat there in charge and seldom managed specific trivial matters.

The ancient beast carried the two people slowly forward, through the sea of ​​blood, through the gates of hell, to travel to the underworld.

There was another ghost officer leading the way, but there was no deathly aura on this ghost officer. Instead, he was full of immortality. His appearance was also very familiar, a celestial fox.

Even in the underworld, there are incarnations of the celestial fox.

Of course, Tianhu did not sneak in. Although he had many tricks, it was not easy to hide them from the saint.

But he doesn't need to do it secretly, he can just go through the back door openly.

Considering the connections between the Qingqiu clan and the Wu clan, how could this be difficult?

In particular, the witch clan would love to have people volunteer to work.

Tianhu is experienced in management and is much better than the other ancestor witches, or even Hou Tu.

Naturally, Tianhu did not incarnate into the underworld because he loved his work or liked to work. He did so in order to practice.

He wanted to find his own way. After all, Luohou's method of "Planting the Demon in the Heart of Tao" had not really worked, as it was missing the last and most crucial step.

Moreover, it is impossible for the Heavenly Fox to go in the direction of Luohou, as that is a dead end.

Although Qingxuan and the others have made some improvements to this method, it is ultimately not their own path.

Tianhu chose this path himself in the first place, and Qingxuan's direct guidance to him now has limited effect. In the end, he has to explore and understand it on his own.

It is like this when you enter the heaven to manage marriages and observe the feelings of all living beings in the world. It is also like this when you see the obsession of all living beings in the underworld that does not dissipate even after death.

It is better to say that here, he can more intuitively sense the pure emotions of living beings from the deceased souls, and be closer to the essence of all kinds of living things.

Qingxuan did not object to Tianhu's cultivation path. As long as he did not go astray, he would not interfere too much.

"Okay, go and do your own thing. You don't have to follow us."

Qingxuan waved his hand, drove his disciples away, and walked leisurely towards the core area of ​​the underworld.

Of course, he didn't come here for real tourism, but to allow the spiritual light of the gourd vine to enter reincarnation.

The journey was smooth and unobstructed. Sensing the arrival of Qingxuan and the other two, Houtu welcomed them into her cave.

Different from the desolate scene of the underworld outside which is filled with death and lacks vitality, Hou Tu's own cave is well decorated and planted with many spiritual fruits, which seem to be given by Nuwa.

Qingxuan took out the spiritual light of the innate gourd vine and handed it to Houtu.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Hou Tu smiled without much politeness.

After all, I owe you a lot of favors, and this is not a big deal.

Hou Tu drew the power of the earth, and the breath of reincarnation enveloped the aura of the innate gourd vine, and there was a mysterious flow of energy.

Use the power of the earth to nurture its spiritual light. It is said that it is born from nature and nurtured by the earth. The nourishing effect of the power of the earth is particularly outstanding.

Qingxuan had already made an agreement with Houtu when she was a guest in Lotus Heaven not long ago.

At that time, although the innate gourd vine had not given him an answer, Qingxuan was already very sure what the gourd vine would choose.

"Since he is your disciple, do you really want to let him go into reincarnation like this?" Houtu asked.

The meaning of the words was very clear. He was asking Qingxuan whether he wanted to arrange something for Hulusheng.

Because the only thing Qingxuan asked her to do was to nurture the spiritual light with the power of reincarnation, nothing else.

Qingxuan is not lacking in merit power, and Houtu is not completely without the power to interfere in reincarnation.

But Qingxuan didn't seem to have any intention of making any special arrangements and just let things take their course.

Qing Xuan shook his head: "There is no need to do that. She is just a ray of spiritual light now. She has not even developed a complete spiritual wisdom, let alone a clear self. Let's see how her own destiny is."

Besides, being able to use the power of reincarnation to complete the final step of enlightenment and the birth of spiritual intelligence is its greatest fortune.

As for the rest of the fate, it depends on the sincerity of all Taoists.

The thing about cause and effect is that it is difficult to truly separate it, even in reincarnation. That is where her fortune lies.

In Qingxuan's eyes, the gourd vine that had truly developed intelligence and become a living being was a newborn being. There was nothing that should be discarded, and nothing that needed to be retained.

Everything that happened before was just instinct driven by the spiritual nature and could not even be called memory.

When one attains enlightenment and returns, one will be able to see oneself clearly.

There is no need to interfere with the qualifications of his reincarnation, as it would break the rules.

No matter how you choose your background and qualifications, it's just like that.

Whether born rich or poor, Qingxuan felt that it was not a bad thing for Hulusheng.

What is sought is only the reincarnation to open up the spiritual wisdom itself, not the reincarnation body.

After staying in the underworld for a while, Qingxuan and the other man finally left.

When leaving, Qingxuan tapped on the spiritual light of the gourd vine.

At the same time, all the gourds related to it showed unusual movements, which were noticed by their holders.

Speaking of which, this last disciple hasn't been given a Taoist name yet, Qingxuan remembered this.

"Forget it, whatever the Taoist name is, just let it go, lest he be dissatisfied and blame me as his master. This disciple has already been rebellious before he was born. If he doesn't suffer a little, he will never understand the good intentions of his master."

Noticing the sidelong glances coming at him, Qingxuan remained calm and had good intentions. There was nothing wrong with it. He felt that he was a very qualified master and a role model for others, without a doubt.

If you don’t believe it, ask Long Ji. Everyone says that Qingxuan is a good master.

"Isn't it?" Qingxuan asked when he saw Qinglian staring at him.

Qinglian looked away, nodded, and replied perfunctorily: "Yeah."
