Black Myth: You and I are both destined

After two incense sticks of time, the ten kings of hell had reached an agreement, and then Prince Chujiang spoke to Li Shimin.

"It is recorded in the 'General Book of Heavenly Blessings of the Kings of All Nations in the World' that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in Southern Continent is destined to return to life in the 33rd year of Zhenguan and become the ruler of the Tang Dynasty again."

Li Shimin was overjoyed to hear the news!

"I still have twenty years to live? My ancestors have made great contributions and my ancestors have great virtues. I am the Emperor Taizong? Taizong is great!"

Not only was he able to return to life, he also learned about his own lifespan and his son's evaluation of him!

What Li Shimin hoped most was that his virtues would be recognized by future generations. After all, the achievement of unifying the country was indelible, and "Taizong" was indeed more suitable for him.

For a moment, Li Shimin felt that coming to the underworld was not all bad.

"I am grateful for the kindness of the Ten Yama Kings. I would like to ask if there is anything missing in the underworld. I will do my best after I return to the world!"

The Ten Kings of Hell burst into laughter after hearing what Li Shimin said.

"I have plenty of melons and watermelons, but not pumpkins."

After hearing this, Li Shimin figured out the meaning after a little thought.

Donggua refers to Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xigua refers to Xiniuhezhou, and Pumpkin naturally refers to Nanshanbuzhou where Li Shimin was located.

Compared with the other two continents, Jambu Continent is guarded by the Tang Dynasty, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The underworld has no achievements, and Buddhism and heaven do not receive incense and offerings from the people. This is not acceptable!

Therefore, the gods and Buddhas want to save the people of Jambudvīpa from the sea of ​​suffering and let them live a life with faith and gratitude.

When alive, contribute your faith and labor to gods and Buddhas, and after death, contribute your soul to the underworld. Only in this way can the three realms and six paths develop and progress.

Seeing that Li Shimin refused to answer, the Ten Kings of Hell gave orders to Cui Jue.

"Judge Cui Jue, you were also a Tang person when you were alive, so you should take Emperor Taizong back. However, you lost your manners when you first arrived. Before you return to the world, you should take him to see the scenery of the underworld."

After King Yama finished speaking, the foggy scene in front of his eyes became clear, and Li Shimin finally saw the surrounding scene clearly, but this was no longer the Yama Palace, but at the foot of a big mountain!

He discovered that this extremely tall stone mountain was infested with demons and ghosts, so many that they were stacked on top of each other, it was eerie and terrifying!

"Your Majesty, don't panic. This is the Netherworld Beiyin Mountain. Beyond this mountain is the Eighteenth Level of Hell."

Li Shimin realized that he was treated like this because he refused to answer. This was not to take him to appreciate the scenery of the underworld, but to intimidate him. What would be the end of him if he did not cooperate with "heaven's will"?

Although he was protected by Cui Jue, the process of climbing over the mountain scared Li Shimin almost to death.

Arriving at the eighteenth level of hell, the scene here is even more terrifying than that of the Netherworld Shady Mountain!

The souls of these mortals had their skins peeled off and their bones broken, then were thrown randomly into a huge pot to be boiled. No matter how miserably they screamed, no one responded!

Although Li Shimin was now a soul, he could feel warm sweat flowing out of his palms.

After all, the emperor is also a mortal. If he really goes to the underworld, he will be at the mercy of the devil!

But Cui Jue did not leave Li Shimin too much time. As if in a hurry, he took him to the third place to see the scenery.

This is a suspension bridge with no handrails on top and evil monsters snatching people at the bottom. There is a monument next to it with three big characters engraved on it - Naihe Bridge!

The bridge deck is very narrow, only allowing one person to pass through. It is shaky when walking on it, and it is still scary even if you walk from the end of the bridge to the beginning!

It was not until then that Li Shimin felt the insignificance of human beings. Facing unknown forces, even a revered Khan like him was powerless!

But the terrible things were far from over. As soon as he crossed the Naihe Bridge, he arrived at the "City of Wrongful Death".

As soon as he entered the city, thousands of evil spirits rushed out from all directions, surrounded Li Shimin, and shouted excitedly: "Li Shimin is coming! Li Shimin is coming!"

He was so frightened by this scene that his whole body froze and he couldn't even raise his hands. Among these evil spirits, he seemed to see the enemy generals he had killed in the past and the stepping stones for him to ascend the throne!

"Mr. Cui, save me! Mr. Cui, save me!"

This was the first time that Li Shimin broke through his defense and asked for help. Cui Jue was very satisfied and hurried to Li Shimin and grabbed his hand.

"Your Majesty, these are poor and hungry ghosts who have never been reborn. They just want some money."

Before Li Shimin could agree, Cui Jue spoke again.

"There is a man named Xiangliang in the world of the living who has deposited some money with me. We can use this money to get rid of the evil spirits."

"Your Majesty, how about we just borrow a box of gold and silver from Xiangliang first, and then return it to him when Your Majesty comes back to life."

The hungry ghost kept tearing Li Shimin's clothes, so how could he dare to say no?

Although he saw through Cui Jue's tricks, he could only let him perform.

"Let's do as Mr. Cui says. I will write a letter of commitment and return it later."

Cui Jue nodded with satisfaction, turned around, threw gold and silver at the hungry ghosts, and shouted loudly.

"Take these gold and silver first. When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty returns to life, he will hold a water and land ceremony for you to help you reincarnate as soon as possible!"

Things had developed to this point, and even if Cui Jue took it upon himself to help Li Shimin promise a water and land conference, Li Shimin had no choice but to agree.

After an hour, they finally got rid of the hungry ghosts around them, and they arrived at the last stop of Li Shimin's return to life - the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Finally making it to this point, a hint of color returned to Li Shimin's face.

Cui Jue also began to introduce these six paths to him.

"Those who do good deeds will be reborn as immortals."

"Those who are loyal will be reborn in the highest noble way."

"Those who practice filial piety will be reborn into the path of happiness."

"The fair ones are still humane."

"Those who accumulate virtue will be reborn into wealth."

"The wicked will sink into the realm of the devil."

“These are the six realms.”

After so much trouble, Cui Jue finally revealed his purpose. With an intriguing smile on his face, he said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, please return to life through your noble path."

"I have some things to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying these words, Cui Jue left the Six Paths entrance without even saying hello to Li Shimin, and left without looking back.

His respect for Li Shimin had always been against his will, but now he finally stopped.

"Gui Dao?"

"Gui Dao!"

Li Shimin laughed bitterly: "You actually want me to return to life through your noble path!"

"Hahahaha!"

"What a cruel heart!"

"You want me to be a loyal minister?"

"But if I abandon the people to the water and fire, how can I be worthy of the title of emperor?"

Li Shimin had many achievements in his life, but he was not considered a loyal person. Even his two dead brothers kept using this matter to provoke him.

The underworld's actions were sinister and made him feel more uncomfortable than if he had been killed!

Li Shimin watched Guidao lingering at the entrance, reluctant to enter.

He was full of confidence and thought hard, but finally shook his head helplessly and took that step. Just when he was about to step into the noble path, a voice suddenly came from his shoulder.

"Have you thought about it? There are thousands of Tang Dynasty people behind you."
